Chapter 158: Fellow Daoist, just how many talismans do you have?

What are you playing at? You treat talismans as free paper, as if you could just pull out a few hundred?

Niuda snorted coldly; before he could finish speaking, he saw Hu Jiushisan finish counting the talismans, not reporting it, but directly storing them in his storage bag, and said angrily:

Hu Jiushisan, what are you doing? How many talismans did you collect and why aren't you saying?

There was another sentence he actually didn't say out loud, if it weren't for considering Wang Ping'an.

He really wanted to lash out, suspecting Hu Jiushisan of wanting to tamper with the number of talismans received, deliberately scheming against him and Zhu wu.

Hu Jiushisan ignored the angry Niuda, instead taking out another cloth bag from his storage bag and handing it over, saying: "Fellow Daoist, this cloth bag contains two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones; you can count them!"

"Just now Hu Jiushisan wasn't just giving low-grade spirit stones, and it was two hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones..."

Niuda blurted out instinctively; before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on the talismans Hu Jiushisan had placed at Wang Ping'an's feet, his face changed drastically, his voice trembling, he exclaimed in shock:

"No, no, it couldn't be that he already collected a batch of talismans just now, could it?"

While speaking, Niuda looked at Hu Jiushisan—more precisely, his gaze at Hu Jiushisan's waist storage bag was full of fiery intent.

This batch of two hundred Talismans, plus the previous batch of two hundred Talismans, totals four hundred Talismans.

Whether it's three Low-grade Spirit Stones per Talisman, or two Low-grade Spirit Stones per Talisman, even if it's three Low-grade Spirit Stones for two Talismans...

Four hundred Talismans are enough to sell for six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones!

If the three monsters split it evenly, each monster would get enough to receive dozens of Low-grade Spirit Stones!

The more talismans they collect from Wang Ping'an, the more Low-grade Spirit Stones they earn, and the more they split.

Collecting another two hundred Talismans, how could they not be excited?

Wang Ping'an ignored the excited three monsters, casually picking up the two cloth bags on the ground.

Hu Jiushisan exclaimed in shock: "Fellow Daoist, won't you check? Aren't you afraid I might tamper with the payment?"

Wang Ping'an glanced lightly at Hu Jiushisan.

This made Hu Jiushisan let out a bitter laugh, self-mocking: "Indeed, I'll still need your care, Fellow Daoist, and I hope to earn some spirit stones relying on your talismans, Fellow Daoist; even if my brain were squeezed by a door, I couldn't possibly tamper with the payment to you, Fellow Daoist!"

"If there are more talismans to sell in the future, please remember me, this monster, Fellow Daoist..."

Before Hu Jiushisan could finish speaking, Wang Ping'an's hand again produced two stacks of Talismans.

This time, not only Hu Jiushisan, but even Niuda and the gloomy-minded Zhu wu let out a cry of shock, their faces and eyes full of astonishment.

Hu Jiushisan, Niuda, and Zhu wu exchanged glances, their eyes showing shock, they couldn't help swallowing, their voices trembling, they spoke in panic:

"No, Fellow Daoist, you, you, you, just how many talismans do you want to sell?"

Wang Ping'an merely glanced at Hu Jiushisan, Niuda, and Zhu wu, then as he was about to put away the talismans in his hand, Hu Jiushisan rushed forward to stop him.

Hu Jiushisan wore a fawning smile, trying to please: "Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand; even if you were to sell another two hundred talismans, or even if you still had two hundred talismans, I'd take them; no matter how many talismans you have, I'll take them all!"

Wang Ping'an again handed over the talismans in his hand!

Hu Jiushisan, fearing Wang Ping'an might regret it, hastily took the talismans handed over, about to count them, when he saw a pair of hands reaching out from the side, preparing to snatch the talismans from his hand, he turned his head to look.

The one reaching out to snatch was none other than—no, not another monster, but Niuda. Hu Jiushisan said in an unfriendly tone: "What are you trying to do?"

Niuda swallowed, then said: "Hu Jiushisan, I also want to experience the pleasure of counting talismans!"

Hu Jiushisan let out a cold snort, about to refuse, when Niuda hurriedly put on a fawning smile and said: "Jiushisan—no, Hu Brother, give me a chance!"

Zhu wu was about to speak to sow discord, but catching a glimpse of Niuda's eyes flashing a fleeting displeasure, he swallowed the words on his lips and changed his tone:

"Hu Brother, just give Niuda Brother a chance; he hardly ever manages to say soft words in front of you!"

"He hasn't even knelt before me begging, yet he has the nerve to call it soft words!"

Hu Jiushisan let out a cold snort, yet still allowed Niuda to snatch the talismans from his hand; with a thought, another cloth bag appeared before him, he grabbed it and handed it over, saying: "Fellow Daoist..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Ping'an's hand again produced two stacks of Talismans, with a "plop!" his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Hu Jiushisan exclaimed in shock: "Fellow Daoist, you, you, you couldn't have looted a Talisman master's inheritance, could you? You, you, you, just how many elementary talismans do you have for sale?"

Seeing Wang Ping'an silent, Hu Jiushisan didn't care; a Paper Person, even if driven by a cultivator, unless it's a super high-grade Paper Person, cannot speak.

He didn't care.

This novel you have reached

Hu Jiushisan took the talismans from Wang Ping'an with one hand and shouted: "Niuda, stop counting talismans, quickly take out all the low-grade spirit stones on your person!"

Six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones could be said to be its entire fortune, saved over many years of frugal living; I never expected Wang Ping'an to produce so many talismans for sale at once, such that its entire fortune wasn't enough.

"Hu Jiushisan, what are you shouting for? Can't you see I'm counting talismans?"

Niuda cursed while counting talismans.

"You beast..."

Hu Jiushisan was about to lash out when Zhu wu hastily took a batch of low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and said:

"Hu Brother, Niuda Brother is nearby with no one counting talismans; you mustn't lower yourself to his level—I still have some low-grade spirit stones; do you think it's enough?"

"Just this? Look at all these talismans in my hand; do you think this bit of spirit stones is enough?"

Hu Jiushisan looked at the low-grade spirit stones Zhu wu handed over, his brows slightly furrowed, he silently cursed "poor ghost"; if he weren't afraid Zhu wu would ruin his business, he truly wouldn't want to do business with such a poor ghost, and he shouted again:

"Ox beast, don't waste Fellow Daoist's time, hurry up and take out your low-grade spirit stones!"

"What are you shouting for? I've forgotten where I was counting."

Niuda cursed displeasedly; before he could finish speaking, his gaze instantly noticed the two stacks of talismans in Hu Jiushisan's hand, he exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling, he said in bewilderment:

"Hu Jiushisan, where did these talismans come from?"

"Where else could they come from? Obviously, Fellow Daoist prepared them to sell to me!"

Hu Jiushisan said impatiently: "I don't have enough low-grade spirit stones on me; hurry up and take out yours, don't waste Fellow Daoist's time!"

Niuda put on a fawning smile, trying to please: "I'll take out all my low-grade spirit stones right now!"
