Three days ter, the Profound Demon Sect would go to Goldstone City to fetch the bride, so there was no rush.

  With a thoughtful look in his eyes, he summoned the mid-grade magical artifact, the Meteor Sword.

  Stepping onto the flying sword, he soared into the sky, heading straight for Tiger Roar City.

  ...

  On the third floor of the Purple Arrival Commerce Guild, in a fragrant and exquisite private room.

  Shopkeeper Zi Yun swayed her enchanting and alluring figure as she walked in with a smile.

  She wore a purple gauze long dress that clung lightly to her delicate body, with the alluring scenery beneath the skirt faintly visible.

  She blinked her captivating eyes.

  Swaying her long, slender legs, she slowly walked to Xu Xiao's side and poured him a cup of tea.

  As she leaned forward, the massive waves on Zi Yun's chest seemed to sway, accompanied by an enchanting fragrance, causing Xu Xiao's eyebrows to twitch slightly.

  "Hehe, Elder Xu, what brings you here to shop this time? Rest assured, Elder Xu, whatever you need, our humble store will not disappoint you!"

  Zi Yun sat gracefully beside Xu Xiao.

  She gazed at this seemingly dignified yet handsome old man, a hint of unusual color in her eyes.

  Ever since Xu Xiao gifted her a magical hairpin, she knew this lecherous old man would come looking for her again.

  With her charm, it was a no-brainer!

  Xu Xiao spoke directly, "Shopkeeper Zi, this time I'm here to purchase a batch of high-quality spell talismans."

  Spell talismans, inscribed with spells, release a one-time spell upon activation.

  They are excellent aids for cultivators in self-defense and combat.

  However, high-quality talismans are extremely rare, usually given by sect elders to young prodigies as protective items.

  Zi Yun raised her delicate eyebrows, her captivating eyes lighting up slightly, "I wonder what level of quality Elder Xu is looking for?"

  "Do you have Nascent Soul Stage talismans?" Xu Xiao asked with a smile.

  Nascent Soul Stage talismans, when activated, possess the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike.

  While not very useful against Nascent Soul cultivators, they are a significant deterrent to those below the Nascent Soul Stage.

  Of course, they were of no use to the current Xu Xiao.

  What he valued was the return of Soul Transformation Stage talismans, or even the nonexistent Void Refinement Stage talismans, after gifting Nascent Soul Stage talismans!

  As he prepared to head to Goldstone City to bring back his Daughter of Destiny, he naturally needed to be well-prepared.

  "Nascent Soul Stage??"

  Zi Yun's expression shifted upon hearing this, and she chuckled, "Elder Xu, you've come to the right pce! In the entire Tiger Roar City, only our Purple Arrival Commerce Guild has Nascent Soul Stage talismans!"

  "Moreover, there aren't many of these top-grade talismans in stock!"

  The highest level of talismans avaible on the market was the Nascent Soul Stage.

  Both parties were aware of this.

  Xu Xiao asked, "How many do you have in stock?"

  Zi Yun felt a slight thrill as she replied, "We have nine left: five Lightning Summoning Talismans, two Earth Fire Talismans, and two Ice Sword Talismans."

  "Elder Xu, all these talismans from our Purple Arrival Commerce Guild are painstakingly crafted by Soul Transformation cultivators, ensuring top-notch quality."

  "Keep them for your juniors; they might save their lives at a critical moment!"

  Xu Xiao nodded and asked, "How much per talisman?"

  "Not expensive! Only twenty high-grade spirit stones each!"

  "That's not too expensive. In that case, I'll take them all."

  Zi Yun's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

  This old man might be a lecher, but he's truly generous, not even haggling over the price!

  A big profit today!

  Before long, Zi Yun respectfully brought in the nine talismans.

  After the spirit stones were exchanged on the spot, the other party even offered Xu Xiao a discount, requiring only 160 high-grade spirit stones in total.

  After securing the talismans, Xu Xiao's old eyes flickered.

  He retrieved three Lightning Summoning Talismans from his spatial storage.

  Looking at this enchanting and beautiful A-grade Daughter of Destiny, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Shopkeeper Zi, since our st meeting, I've realized we share a special connection."

  "I'm an old man with not much time left, and I won't be able to use all these talismans."

  "I see that Shopkeeper Zi hasn't reached the Nascent Soul Realm yet, so I'll gift you these three Nascent Soul Stage Lightning Summoning Talismans for self-defense, to forge a good bond."

  Xu Xiao was confident.

  Cultivators in the commerce guild valued spirit stones and wouldn't refuse.

  "You're giving me three?!"

  Zi Yun's snow-white neck slightly gulped as she looked at Xu Xiao in shock.

  This old man was really willing to go all out to woo her!

  Three Lightning Summoning Talismans, worth sixty high-grade spirit stones.

  In any pce, that's a huge sum!

  At this moment, she suddenly understood why this Inner Sect Elder of the Misty Sect failed his lightning tribution.

  Spending all his thoughts on wooing female cultivators, it's no wonder he failed!

  "Hehe!"

  Zi Yun immediately accepted the three Lightning Summoning Talismans from Xu Xiao's hand; she would never refuse such a good deal!

  "Elder Xu! You are truly generous!"

  Zi Yun stored the three Lightning Summoning Talismans, her enchanting and beautiful face slightly flushed.

  Gracefully rising, she approached Xu Xiao, pcing a smooth, fair arm on his shoulder.

  "Elder Xu... people like you are rare."

  Zi Yun sighed, "Even in old age, Elder Xu is so handsome. When you were young, you must have captivated many female cultivators, right?"

  "Not bad, a little handsome." Xu Xiao chuckled softly, inhaling the alluring fragrance of the woman before him.

  The closer the retionship, the easier it would be to gift in the future.

  "If only Elder Xu were still young."

  Zi Yun's charming face wore a smile as she boldly sat on Xu Xiao's p, wrapping her arms around his aged neck.

  "Now that Elder Xu is old and has little time left, otherwise, I would have wanted to be Elder Xu's Dao Companion."

  She had her own calcutions.

  If the other party was so generous, it would be impolite not to reciprocate.

  As an elder of the Misty Sect, Elder Xu must have accumuted countless spirit stones over the millennia to be so extravagant.

  Though there could be no real retionship between them, giving him some benefits would ensure he continued to spend spirit stones at the Purple Arrival Commerce Guild!

  Moreover, even though Elder Xu was old, he was indeed handsome, possessing a unique charm!

  With that, she sat on Xu Xiao's p, holding the old man in her arms.

  Instantly, Xu Xiao felt a unique feminine allure envelop him...

  After some pyful banter, the two finally parted.

  While enjoying himself, Xu Xiao was also secretly amazed at how alluring Shopkeeper Zi Yun truly was.

  But she clearly had reservations, likely due to his old age, offering only a taste of sweetness.

  "Elder Xu, you must visit our Purple Arrival Commerce Guild next time!"

  Zi Yun's face was charmingly flushed, and she said no more, stepping down to tidy her attire.

  Xu Xiao smiled, "With such a beauty as Shopkeeper Zi here, I naturally won't go elsewhere."

  With the retionship deepening, gifting next time should be even more seamless.

  Another stable win-win connection established.
