Chapter 480 - 479: Ta Xue Trading Company, Superior Immortal Method

It took longer to say it than it happened.

The surprised thunder was about to hit the formed talisman in a blink of an eye.

However, Li Jing reacted quickly, decisively raised his hand and flicked out a black arc of electricity.

"Bang!"

The thunder from the heavens was successfully intercepted.

Li Jing flicked a seemingly delicate arc of electricity from his fingertips, and instantly shattered the falling shocked thunder.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Zhaixing nearly popped his eyes out of his sockets.

Li Jing then reached for the formed talisman, looked at it with a frown, and then turned his head.

"Old Man Zhaixing, I have never heard that drawing a talisman can invoke heavenly thunder, what was that just now?"

...

Old Man Zhaixing remained silent.

He was a bit numb at the moment.

He had witnessed a lot of the ineffable things about Li Jing.

But he had never imagined-

That it was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were more inexplicable things to come.

After slightly calming his state of mind, old man Zhaixing spoke in a low voice.

"That surprised Thunder came so quickly that I didn’t get a good look at it. But if I’m not mistaken, it should not be ordinary shocked thunder, but rather Heaven’s Envy."

"Heaven’s Envy?"

Li Jing was taken aback.

"Heaven’s Envy is similar to the concept of Heavenly Tribulation for human cultivators, but it is a unique phenomenon when artifacts are formed, and it occasionally occurs in Artifact Refinement, Alchemy and Talisman creation."

Old Man Zhaixing whispered and continued.

"Heaven’s Envy doesn’t appear randomly, but only when the quality of a formed artifact far exceeds its expected quality. If not stopped in time, the finished artifact will be destroyed in an instant. Heaven’s Envy is more common in the realms of Artifact Refinement and Alchemy. I have to admit, this is the first time I have seen talisman invoking Heaven’s Envy."

Hearing the words of Old Man Zhaixing, Li Jing nodded silently.

For this period, there were indeed too many surprises.

First of all, while he was drawing the talisman, he had a spell crit out of nowhere.

Then, the spell crit resulted in the automatic emergence of the Primordial Spirit Method, making his process of drawing the talisman incredibly smooth, like it was completed in one breath.

That’s not all.

When he finished drawing this talisman while his spell was in a crit state, it gave Li Jing quite a lot of insight into the talisman.

Before he had time to digest it, Heaven’s Envy arrived.

If it wasn’t for his quick reaction, this talisman might have been destroyed.

After all, talisman is just a piece of paper, not a refined artifact, with almost zero endurance, containing only relatively powerful forces.

Lowering his eyes to look at the formed talisman in his hand, Li Jing slightly raised his eyebrows.

This talisman was perfect.

The overall character was dark gold.

Without activating it, one could feel the astonishing, hidden power within it.

Li Jing even had a faint feeling.

The Wind Thunder Domain generated after activating this talisman might be even stronger than his own execution.

According to Old Man Zhaixing’s statement.

This talisman should have exceeded its original quality due to the spell crit.

While examining it, Old Man Zhaixing, with glazed eyes, managed to speak.

"Immortal Lord, can you lend me this finished talisman to have a look?"

"Mm."

Li Jing responded and handed the talisman over.

Upon seeing this, Old Man Zhaixing quickly grabbed it.

Taking the formed talisman in his hand, he couldn’t help feeling a dry mouth and a parched tongue.

The talisman was not activated upon formation, and its power was completely restrained.

So when the talisman was in Li Jing’s hand, he didn’t notice much about it.

Now that it was in his hand, he had a clear perception.

This talisman had broken through the level of a Tenth Realm True Immortal!

It was at the level of the Eleventh Realm Asking Heaven!

What the heck...

There seems to be no end to the absurdities around Li Jing.

Li Jing, with his cultivation level of a Tenth Realm True Immortal, had the ability to draw a talisman equal to his own realm, which could be understood as his high level of accomplishment in the field of talisman.

In fact.

A Talisman Master’s own realm does allow them to create talismans of the same level.

Only this concept applies only at lower realms.

Whether it’s creating talismans, refining artifacts, or alchemy, the higher the target product’s quality, the higher the difficulty.

At the Tenth Realm, a product of an equivalent realm is nearly impossible to refine.

It’s not that it’s completely impossible, but the success rate is infinitesimal, and no master would be willing to waste the time.

Take talisman creation for instance.

Li Jing had just failed more than twenty times in a row, the energy would have been better spent crafting a slightly lesser ranked talisman, right?

Usually, a Talisman Master doesn’t have an endless amount of mental energy like him.

Even if creating a talisman has a lower cost, there would be no high-level Talisman Master willing to endure the results of nearly thirty failures without one success, as it would not only deplete their mental energy but also affect their Taoist heart.

The Taoist heart is very important to everyone.

For professions like Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners, and Alchemists, it directly affects the possibility and quality of their crafted products.

Once the Taoist heart is damaged, the result would be unbearable for the respective professions.

If severe.

They could spend their entire life stuck in one place on their respective paths or even be unable to perform normal refining.

Other than Li Jing’s seemingly limitless mental energy.

The fact that he could continue crafting after so many consecutive failures, the determination admired Old Man Zhaixing.

Now, he had finally succeeded.

And that had widened Old Man Zhaixing’s eyes.

Old Man Zhaixing asked himself, having lived for nearly ten thousand years, what kind of storm hadn’t he weathered?

But this was the first time he had seen a Talisman Master create a talisman that was higher than his own realm.

Although, based on perception, the power contained in this talisman was only at the initial level of Asking Heaven, but Asking Heaven is Asking Heaven, and it’s more than a hundred times stronger than a True Immortal-level talisman.

Looking back.

This talisman in his hand right now could be sold for a sky-high price.

A Tenth Realm talisman is rare.

But an Eleventh Realm, that’s simply unattainable.

Talismans of Eleventh Realm can be created by Talisman Masters in the Immortal Realm, but they are master craftsmen starting from the Twelfth Realm.

Not to mention how much a product from such a master in the industry is worth, a single move from a master is worth a fortune!

Of course.

Like talismans, which are one-time consumables, their price won’t be absurdly high no matter how attractive it is.

For Li Jing and Zhaixing Old Man, who were both destitute at the moment, the sale of this talisman would undoubtedly fetch an unimaginable price.

Taking a deep breath, the old man Zhaixing looked at Li Jing as if he were a god of wealth and asked, swallowing his saliva.

"Immortal Lord, this talisman is of astonishing quality, having reached the level of the Eleventh Realm Sky Inquiry. If we let it go at the auction in Beilang City, Ningluo Realm, we could fetch a higher price. It’s not cost-effective to use it for the road toll in Phoenix Sun County. Do you still have the strength to continue drawing?"

Li Jing looked a little stunned at these words.

He did notice the astonishing quality of the talisman he had drawn.

What he didn’t expect was.

It had actually reached the level of the Eleventh Realm Sky Inquiry.

However, upon reflection, Li Jing soon realized it made sense.

Although he had just stepped into the Tenth Realm, he could handle several people of this level.

In the presence of him, who had no fewer than five sources, even someone who had just stepped into the Eleventh Realm might have trouble managing it.

The fact that this talisman was at the level of the Eleventh Realm Sky Inquiry, as evidenced by the stronger sense it gave him when the Wind Thunder Domain was unleashed, was reasonable.

Li Jing took the talisman back from the old man Zhaixing’s hands and smiled.

"I do have some strength left at the moment. With an auction waiting for me, it gives me more motivation to draw as many as possible. However, it might be difficult for situations like the one just now to occur again. The good news is, I have gained a lot of insight into the Way of the Talisman through this drawing. The following drawings should be much smoother."

Upon hearing such words from him, the old man Zhaixing quietly opened his mouth, not knowing what expression to wear.

He did not expect Li Jing to produce another talisman of the same quality or even one that could invoke heavenly jealousy.

This kind of event was essentially a stroke of incredible luck.

Stumbling upon it once was okay, but stumbling upon it again and again was too much.

What shocked him was.

Li Jing had gained insight into the Way of the Talisman just by drawing a super-quality talisman.

Why didn’t he just ascend to heaven?

The same goes for the Way of Cultivation.

If one can gain insight on paths such as the talisman, artifact refinement, and alchemy, it would be a great benefit.

Compared to the Way of Cultivation, insights into these related paths are extremely rare.

Most people wouldn’t even get to experience it once in their lifetime, and could only follow the steps on their respective paths, pushing themselves to their limits.

Those who have any insight into these paths could at least become masters in their respective fields!

Recalling that Li Jing also knew artifact refinement,

and that it was an extremely peculiar method of artifact refinement that could instantaneously create an artifact of high quality, the old man Zhaixing both felt a little unwell and lucky that he had made the decisive move to pledge allegiance to Chen Tang City.

This master of the sea of doors, with his monstrous potential and future achievements, is hard to estimate.

Who knows, he might even become a great emperor!

...

As Li Jing said,

After gaining insight into the Way of the Talisman, his production of the Tenth Realm True Immortal level talisman became much smoother, and he was able to successfully produce one every six attempts on average.

This success rate.

Was much higher than when he last drew a talisman, even when he was only at the Seventh Realm.

He didn’t expect another magic crit like the one earlier.

He had been studying Divine Origin Unification for so long, but he rarely had seen it truly crit.

And the situation was indeed as he expected.

Throughout the process of using up all the materials he had, he didn’t encounter a second magic crit.

All 200 sets of talisman materials were used up, which took a lot of Li Jing’s time.

When he finished, it was already near dawn the next day.

Li Jing put away the single talisman resulting from a magic crit and counted the finished talismans he had. In total, there were twenty-nine talismans.

Fifteen of these were Wind Thunder Domain talismans, which had both offensive and defensive characteristics. Five were Heaven and Earth Return to Heart talismans, which were supportive in nature and could temporarily enhance the Primordial Spirit, stabilize the mind, add a Silent Shadow effect, release the Primordial Spirit Method, and have a potential for crit. The remaining nine were Spirit God Whispers.

It wasn’t that Li Jing didn’t want to draw something else.

It was just that the limit breakthrough skills he could draw were very few.

As for those like the Five Thunder Righteous Method alone, the grade might not be on par with the Immortal Realm.

Li Jing didn’t draw any forbidden skills.

The main forbidden skills, the Wind Thunder Domain and Heaven and Earth Return to Heart Second Breakthroughs, were just not as functional as the single forbidden skills.

These two second breakthrough skills provided too many effects.

Compared to them,

The functionality of the Spirit God Whisper was commendable and should sell better.

From a factual perspective.

People in the Immortal Realm certainly had control over many forbidden skills and even had control over Immortal Methods.

If someone could produce a nuclear bomb with their own hands, why would they buy your talisman?

This is where functionality takes precedence!

As Li Jing counted his talismans, the old man Zhaixing completely became numb.

He had noticed beforehand that Li Jing seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of heart power.

And it was proven true.

Li Jing used up all 200 talisman sets of materials in one go, without resting for a moment!

And now, he was still full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue.

At this moment, looking at Li Jing, the old man Zhaixing intensively suspected that he was not a human practitioner, but an alien species clad in human skin.

Among the myriad creatures in the world.

Humans were the most adaptable species, but also the most mediocre.

Only particular alien species, possessing unique capabilities, could accomplish what Li Jing did, drawing talismans non-stop for 200 times, from daylight of yesterday to the morning of today.

The old man Zhaixing didn’t know,

That the lord of his clan was a cheater.

The world of cheaters was something he couldn’t understand.

On this occasion,

After Li Jing finished counting the talismans and put them all away, he tidied up the place, played with the Ling Pen that was still firm after being used for 200 times, stood up, and turned to the old man Zhaixing.

"Old Taoist Zhaixing, we have already delayed a lot of time. We must rush to the Ningluo Realm."

With that, Li Jing added.

"Phoenix Sun County is the only big city near the Blue Star Ascension Platform and where the domain lord holds court, so you should be familiar with it. Can you recommend a reputable company?"

"Certainly."

The old man Zhaixing stood up, explaining patiently to Li Jing the notable enterprises in Phoenix Sun County as they both ascended into the sky.

Indeed, he was quite familiar with Phoenix Sun County.

At this moment,

He was wholeheartedly devoted to Li Jing.

...

Before long,

Both of them once again arrived in Phoenix Sun County.

Afterwards, they went directly to the Ta Xue Trading Company, as recommended by the old man Zhaixing.

Ta Xue Trading Company was neither the largest nor the most well-known company in Phoenix Sun County.

Li Jing chose the Ta Xue Trading Company for one simple reason,

The old man Zhaixing knew someone there who happened to be the proprietor.

If there’s a familiar face, wouldn’t it be easier to communicate?

Along the way, nothing was spoken.

The two quickly arrived at the Ta Xue Trading Company, which occupied a large storefront in the bustling area of Phoenix Sun County.

Because it was early in the morning,

the company had relatively few customers.

As soon as they entered, an attendant enthusiastically greeted them.

"Good morning, sirs. How may I assist you?"

"I am looking for the shopkeeper, Tong Xiaoxiao. Please inform her."

Zhaixing Zi spoke.

"Tell her that her old friend, Taoist Zhaixing has come to visit."

When Zhaixing Zi claimed to be an old friend of the shopkeeper, the attendant naturally did not disregard it.

Any man of Zhaixing Zi’s eleventh realm cultivation level, could effortlessly display his uniqueness through his demeanor.

"Please wait a moment, I will let her know immediately."

The attendant excused himself and walked away.

Li Jing watched the attendant head straight into the second floor without a care, then eyed Zhaixing Zi who was outwardly calm but slightly tense.

"Zhaixing, this woman Tong Xiaoxiao doesn’t seem to be just an old friend of yours, right?"

"Ahem!"

Zhaixing Zi coughed, hesitated a bit, then spoke.

"Immortal Lord Li, I was young once too."

Li Jing raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhaixing Zi gave a bitter smile.

"You’re overthinking it, Immortal Lord. This is all far in the past. These days, we just occasionally visit each other as ordinary friends."

Li Jing blinked in response, and didn’t comment.

From Zi’s tone, a deep bitterness was underlying the casual conversation.

It was enough for Li Jing to understand a lot.

He surmised that Zhaixing Zi and this shopkeeper, were a classic case of unrequited love.

Zhaixing Zi was the one pining, while the woman was the one eluding.

Although Zi didn’t seem to dwell on this unrequited love, he did seem a bit discontent.

However Li Jing thought, it would be better not to delve too deeply into such worldly affairs.

...

The two didn’t wait long in the trading company, before the attendant returned and respectfully greeted them.

"The shopkeeper is ready to receive you both. Please follow me to the third floor lounge."

After saying this, the attendant turned around and led the way.

Marveling at the well-organized trading company, Li Jing followed him.

Zhaixing Zi paused awkwardly for a moment, then decided to follow Li Jing without another thought.

In a short while,

They arrived at a suite in front of the lounge on the third floor, led by the attendant.

When they arrived, the attendant stopped, opened the door, and gestured them inside with a "please".

"Thank you for showing the way."

Li Jing politely thanked the attendant, then looked ahead.

Inside the room,

a breathtakingly beautiful young woman, who appeared to be in her mid-thirties, was sitting by a bamboo table near the window, watching them with a faint smile on her face.

She shifted her gaze from Li Jing then quickly settled on Zhaixing Zi.

Upon seeing Tong Xiaoxiao, Zhaixing Zi was finally back to his normal self.

He greeted her and took the lead, walking in, grinning and saluting.

"Tong Xiaoxiao, it’s been a long time."

"Indeed, it’s been over a hundred years since we last saw each other."

Tong Xiaoxiao responded with a smile and elegantly rose to meet him. Then, she turned her gaze to Li Jing, who had entered the room.

"And this young man is...?"

Before Li Jing could respond, Zhaixing Zi spoke again.

"This is Li Jing, the lord of Chen Tang City. He is not only a highly skilled Artifact Refiner, but also a master Talisman Master. Furthermore, he has profound knowledge in the field of formations."

Tong Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows twitched in response to Zhaixing’s disclosure.

Typically, when she encounters such introductions, she’d need confirmation.

As a businesswoman, she won’t just believe anyone’s word.

However, her relationship with Taoist Zi was special.

Even though they were not together, their years of friendship rendered mutual trust unshakeable.

Artifact Refiner, Talisman Master.

And also highly knowledgeable in formation!

All he needed now was to be an Alchemist and he’d be perfect.

Look at this...

This man was basically a walking money tree!

On the other hand, this man is also an Immortal Lord.

Tong Xiaoxiao was not familiar with the power of Chen Tang City.

However, since Zi referred to him as an Immortal Lord, he must be the leader of a power recognized by the Donghua Immortal Palace.

Only then would he be worthy of the title of Immortal Lord.

Without much thought, Tong Xiaoxiao quickly bowed to Li Jing.

"Tong Xiaoxiao, the shopkeeper of the Ta Xue Trading Company, is honored to meet Immortal Lord Li."

Seeing the shopkeeper showed the utmost respect, hand over the abdomen, almost bending to a ninety-degree angle, Li Jing’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Zhaixing Zi really overstated his skills!

Artifact Refinement and Talisman creating were just his minor interests. As for formation, that was even further stretched.

All he knew was a basic Seven-Star Formation.

To master this formation, he relied on his spatial understanding from reversed space.

His head would probably have turned gray before he could master any other formation.

Pondering about how Tong Xiaoxiao perceived him as an esteemed guest, and how Zi had embellished him, Li Jing didn’t express humility and merely returned the salute.

"Shopkeeper Tong, there’s no need for such formalities. Since Taoist Zi is now with my Chen Tang City and you both are old acquaintances, we’re all friends here, there’s no need to be so polite."

Upon hearing Li Jing’s words, Tong Xiaoxiao looked puzzled.

Zhaixing Zi had joined Chen Tang City?

Others might not be aware of this, but she knew clearly.

As a guiding Immortal officer, Zi had received countless invitations from the Blue Star powers over the years, but he had never expressed an intention to join any of them, nor did he gain much benefit from being associated with them.

Why would he suddenly join Chen Tang City?

Also, another question was, since Zi had become part of Chen Tang City, it meant Chen Tang City belonged to the Blue Star Ascenders.

Among the forces of the Blue Star Ascenders, only the heads of the Seventy-Two Caves, the Thirty-Six Taoist Schools, and the Nine Immortal Palace could be referred to as Immortal Lords.

Chen Tang City was not one of them, so why was it called an Immortal Lord’s city?

Could it be...

The emerging Blue Star power?!

Just how dominating must they be that they were able to gain acceptance from Donghua Immortal Palace shortly after establishment?

Theoretically, if an organization has over a hundred members, it can apply for recognition by Donghua Immortal Palace. However, things aren’t as simple as they seem. The application involves internal evaluations of the organization’s overall strength and abilities.

You can’t just gather a hundred random people and expect recognition...

Suspicious, she glanced at Li Jing. Unable to contain her curiosity, Tong Xiaoxiao quietly cast an inquiring look at Elder Zhaixing.

Seeing this, the elder smirked, playfully maintaining an air of mystery.

That left Tong Xiaoxiao in quite the anxious state.

Glaring at the elder and expressing her displeasure, Tong Xiaoxiao spoke up.

"As the saying goes, ’no one visits the temple without cause.’ Immortal Lord Li, being proficient in both Artifact Refinement and talisman creation, I am sure you have brought some artifices to our Ta Xue Trading Company for sale. You can bring them out for me to appraise."

She continued,

"Divine Lord Li, by the look of me, you’d know that I am a well-known appraiser in this business. I don’t need assistance to determine the quality and condition of your artifacts. If they are impressive goods, I am willing to offer you an attractive price, as a way of establishing our friendship."

A strong emerging power from the Blue Star, who wouldn’t gain advantage by forming a good relationship with them?

Especially if the leader of the faction possesses multiple "production skills".

Tong Xiaoxiao’s sentiment is quite clear.

Meeting her words, Li Jing did not hesitate, directly taking out five Wind Thunder Domain talismans, one Heaven and Earth Return to Heart talisman, plus four Spirit God’s Whisper talismans.

"I do have some talismans for sale, I wonder if Clerk Tong could help me assess their value."

Originally, Li Jing intended to sell just one talisman to cover his traveling expenses.

But since Tong Xiaoxiao promised a high price, he didn’t mind selling a few more to help Elder Zhaixing to save face.

Being praised sky high, it won’t do if he just takes out only one talisman.

With Tong Xiaoxiao’s appraisal ability, she obviously sees things differently.

Observing the ten talismans that Li Jing took out, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Tenth Realm True Immortal Character Talismans, all are top-notch in quality and rarity."

As she spoke, she took the ten talismans for a careful examination.

Standing on the side, Elder Zhaixing held a plain expression on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

What did Tong Xiaoxiao just say?

These ten talismans in Li Jing’s hand are top-notch rarities?

It’s quite normal for someone to paint a talisman that exceeds their own realm.

But to casually pick ten talismans, all at the peak, without any deviation, things can’t be as simple as it seems.

Even those well-known masters couldn’t achieve this kind of quality every time they made a talisman!

As Elder Zhaixing was in shock,

Tong Xiaoxiao was holding the talismans for individual inspection, her face becoming increasingly amazed.

Noticing her peculiar expression, Elder Zhaixing’s curiosity intensified.

What exactly did Tong Xiaoxiao find?

Besides a peak-grade quality, was there something more surprising?

Elder Zhaixing didn’t have the ability to appraise, so he had to gauge by looking at Tong Xiaoxiao’s reactions. This left him in unbearable suspense.

Soon enough,

After inspecting all the talismans, Tong Xiaoxiao exhaled and looked up.

"Immortal Lord Li indeed has mastery over this industry. These ten talismans are respectively a top-notch defensive Immortal Method, a versatile supportive Immortal Method, and four lower-ranked spiritual Immortal Methods. Is my assessment correct?"

???

Elder Zhaixing posed three question marks in succession before turning his head in confusion.

Li Jing was also a bit bewildered at this moment.

He knew of the existence of the superior Immortal Methods, far more advanced than common magical arts and even forbidden skills, in the Immortal Realm.

But so far, he hadn’t had the opportunity to study them.

Tong Xiaoxiao’s judgement was very precise.

She accurately stated the functions of the ten talismans...

Which brought him to question,

Why did she say the talismans were embedded with Immortal Methods?

Could it be...

That his Limit Breakthrough skill, which was actually at the level of the Immortal Method?

And even his Second Breakthrough, could be called a high-grade Immortal Method?

Seeing the look of confusion on Elder Zhaixing and Li Jing’s faces, Tong Xiaoxiao had a peculiar expression.

As a businesswoman, she was absolutely astute.

It was clear from their reaction that Elder Zhaixing and Li Jing didn’t know the full extent of each other’s abilities. This also confirmed something to her.

Li Jing...

Must be a newly ascended entity to the Immortal Realm.

If that wasn’t the case,

How was it possible that he hadn’t realized his own power of encoding a high-grade Immortal Method into talismans...

Glancing at Li Jing who was still lost in thought and then at Elder Zhaixing, whose face was written all over with shock, Tong Xiaoxiao’s lips drew into a slight smile.

"For these ten talismans, I can offer you ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."

"How much?!"

Elder Zhaixing widened his eyes in disbelief, questioning what he had just heard.

Immortal Crystals have three grades, each has an exchange ratio of a hundred-to-one.

Ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals equate to a billion lower-grade Immortal Crystals...

What was Li Jing’s cost?!

But that’s not the point.

The point is, Tong Xiaoxiao was basically giving Li Jing free money!

Even if it’s a talisman embedded with high-grade Immortal Method, it wouldn’t be worth a thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals.

The key point is, the grade is too low.

After all, talismans are consumables.

Despite their significant uses, the price couldn’t reach this height.

If Li Jing took out his talisman from the eleventh realm, it might be worth around a thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals.

If each of these could sell for a hundred top-grade Immortal Crystals, that would mean running into someone with more money than sense. Not to mention, only six of them are embedded with high-grade Immortal Method while the remaining four are relatively common lower-grade Immortal Methods.

Li Jing didn’t have much concept of Immortal Crystals, but he knew the exchange ratio.

Ten thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals were far beyond his expectations.

Even if it was a high-grade Immortal Method, the price shouldn’t be that high.

Seeing Elder Zhaixing’s wild reaction, he quickly realized that Tong Xiaoxiao had offered an unimaginable price.

Perhaps even a proper auction couldn’t have fetched such a price.

He looked at Tong Xiaoxiao strangely, then said,

"Clerk Tong, let’s not mince words since we are on the same side. Your offer is a bit too high. The trading company is supposed to make profits, so I cannot let you bear losses."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

"Don’t group me with someone as poor as Zhaixing, this amount of Immortal Crystals is merely loose change to me. Immortal Lord Li, you must just have arrived in the Immortal Realm, I see this ten thousand Immortal Crystals not as purchasing these ten talismans from you, but rather getting off on the right foot with a possible future friend."
