After Becoming the Hero's Ex-fiancée

Voice Transmission Talisman (2)

It’s just that Ah Wan was too eye-catching. It wouldn’t matter if she were just hanging about nearby. Fortunately, it could go into the storage pouch, so Zheng Wan put it away and decided to go to the market first.

In the past two days, she practised the Non-Emptiness Sutra during the day and smoothed out her vital energy, then practised the Soul Consciousness Arts at night. When her soul consciousness was full, she would draw talismans; when her soul consciousness was depleted, she would continue practising the Soul Consciousness Arts——
Perhaps due to the nighttime, when the moonlight was stronger than during daytime, along with the ample supply of vital energy here, she actually drew a whole fifty-six Grade 1 frost arrow talismans in two nights, all of which were of good quality.

Along with what she had from the previous days, she had a total of ninety-nine frost arrow talismans.

She kept twenty-nine of them for self-defence, and decided to sell the remaining seventy Grade 1 frost arrow talismans for some Yuan stones to buy things— That darned Cui Wang actually gave that large amount of Yuan stones to Ah Wan to buy earthworms; she really wanted to vomit blood when she thought about it.

Zheng Wan went to the Seven Treasures Court first. The shop attendant was very amiable, and said, “Zhenren, frost arrow talismans are rare on the market, but if you want to sell it to a store, the market price will be 300 Yuan beads at most. Why don’t you rent a stall at the stall market? You will get customers for sure.”

Zheng Wan, “Stall market?”

“How much can I charge at the stall market?”

“One low-grade Yuan stone for two pieces— that’s five hundred Yuan beads. If you meet someone very generous, it would also be possible to sell one piece for one low-grade Yuan stone. After all, ice talismans are really rare.”

Just then, a big-bellied, brown-robed cultivator hurried out from behind, pinched the shop attendant’s ear and scolded, “Little brat, you’re getting bold, huh? Instead of doing business, you’re giving it away.”

“Ah, Uncle, Uncle— be gentler. I still want to save face,” wailed the shop attendant. He looked at Zheng Wan a little pitifully.

Of course he remembered this beautiful cultivator.
Yuqing Sect was located near Fengwu City, so there were lots of beautiful people around, but very few were as exquisite and elegant as her. This time, wearing goose-yellow gauzy robes, she was even more delicate than before. The sight of a beautiful woman makes one’s heart happy, so… he couldn’t help it.

Zheng Wan was accustomed to the admiration of men, so naturally did not think much of it. She made a gesture towards the shop attendant to take care, then left the Seven Treasure Court heartlessly.

After searching around with her living map as a guide, the prices given by the shops specialising in talismans were similar to that of the Seven Treasures Court, so she decided to listen to the shop attendant’s advice and rent a stall at the stall market—
Everything is difficult at the beginning.

The market was still full of people coming and going, lively as can be. Following the instructions, Zheng Wan first went to the management office at the entrance to pay one low-grade Yuan stone for a stall market token with the number “122”. After searching around, she found it in the middle section.

It was a square grid drawn with black ink.

“Zhenren, it’s you?” Zheng Wan had just spread out the black cloth, and found that not far in front of her on the left, the black-robed server called “Shu Yuan” was actually here too.

He had also set up a stall, and next to him sat a snotty little boy who looked rather familiar—
After some thought, she instantly remembered the mortal child whom she cast two cleansing arts on and who sold her a living map when she went to the Seven Treasures Court for the first time.
His hair was in two little bunches that looked like goat horns, and he was currently chomping on a stick of candied fruit happily.

“Is this your brother?”
Zheng Wan’s interest was suddenly piqued. If she remembered correctly, that detailed living map was made by the little boy’s elder brother…  How could a little server in a pleasure house make such an exquisite thing?

With such skills, why would he need to do the work of serving others?

“Yes, Zhenren.” Shu Yuan’s attitude was not very warm, probably because he was frightened by Cui Wang that day. After answering her, he kept silent.

Zheng Wan was annoyed with having to coax one Cui Wang, so naturally, she wasn’t keen to talk to this stuffy tight-lipped gourd either. She sat down at her stall cross-legged and used a paperweight to hold down a piece of paper with the words, “Frost Arrow Talismans”, then didn’t bother anymore.

It wasn’t suitable to practise deep meditation in public, but it was pretty good for practising the Soul Consciousness Arts.

But after practising for half a day, Zheng Wan found that there were very few cultivators here— only two or three. After sitting there all morning, her soul consciousness had thickened a little, but none of the frost arrow talismans had been sold.

Her stomach was grumbling.

“How much is this frost arrow talisman?”
At this moment, a hulking man suddenly came over and squatted down, reaching out to a frost arrow talisman.

Zheng Wan used her vital energy to brush him away. This man still had mud on his hands; he’d better not touch her talisman and dirty it.
“Those of good quality are five-hundred=and-eighty Yuan beads a piece, and the normal ones are five hundred Yuan beads a piece.”

“I haven’t even tried it, so how would I know if your frost arrow talisman is real or not?”

Zheng Wan suddenly recalled the tricks the shops in the mortal world used to create hype. Every time a store came out with something new or rare, they would always ask people to take a look and try them out, doing all sorts of sales tactics at the entrance. When people saw that it was good and knew exactly what it was, they would naturally be willing to pay for it.

Her frost arrow talismans were beautiful when cast; if female cultivators were to see it, they would certainly buy a few—
She had completely forgotten about this.
