Chapter 119: Qin Yun's Means!

  Xuanwu City South Street, Guli Danfu Lane.

  In the backyard symbol room, a brocade-clad man was sitting opposite a white-robed cultivator, sipping tea and chatting with each other.

  "Boss! Boss!"

  A middle-aged man dressed in a shopkeeper's attire rushed in, laughing and shouting: "You're really clever! The store across the street has also lowered their prices. They're now offering twenty for three, and eight amulets as a gift!"

  The white-robed cultivator smiled slightly and bowed his hands in praise, saying: "Master Dong is brilliant!"

  The man in the brocade clothes smiled complacently, pinching his chin and saying with a sly smile: "I've taken a liking to this girl's temper. This time we'll make her pay through the nose. Immediately send someone to buy it up, no matter how much!"

  "If there's no stock, then block her door, I'll see how she can still do business in Xuanwu City!"

  "Alright!" The middle-aged steward with a mouse-like face and beady eyes took his orders and left.

  The white-robed cultivator of Qi hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Dongzhu, your methods are indeed good, but proactively lowering the price might provoke gossip among fellow practitioners. Is it worth it just to crush Shui Xin Dan Fang?"

  The Tan Fu Fang on South Street is not the only two, defeating Shui Xin Tan Fu Fang can dominate the business, in fact, Shui Xin Tan Fu Fang is very weak among peers, even if thoroughly defeated, it doesn't have much significance.

  The man in brocade clothes, Guli, smiled and said: "Master Mu, I will definitely tell you the reason behind this, but it's not convenient to reveal it now, please forgive me!"

  The white-robed cultivator nodded nonchalantly, but in his heart, he was somewhat disdainful.

  This guy is mysterious, but his recent actions are so big that it's inevitable that there will be some rumors.

  It is said that behind Gu Li, there is a high-ranking figure of the Sword Sect who is secretly supporting him. His goal of defeating Shui Xin Dan's Symbol Workshop is absolutely not just about business competition, and may be related to internal struggles within Chui Yun Peak.

  Of course, the white-robed cultivator wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal this. He was hired by Gu Li to create talismans and earned a comfortable income, why would he go out of his way to look for trouble?

  At the time when Guli was secretly planning to overthrow Shui Xindan Symbol Workshop, in the symbol room of Shui Xindan Symbol Workshop, Qin Yun sat at the desk, writing on the symbol paper with flying strokes.

  Although he was provoked by his opponent, when he really started to refine the talisman, his mood became extremely calm and focused, operating the true mechanism of refining symbols, sending a thread of refined yuan force into the pen tip.

  To ensure the success of his refining, Qin Yun activated his Wisdom Illuminating Divine Ability. His senses became extremely acute, and his speed in drawing talismans suddenly increased. His essence, spirit, and soul merged as one, without sorrow or joy, only the true script of the Daoist talisman flashing and rebirthing in his sea of consciousness.

  Gradually, he forgot everything around him, and his mind seemed to resonate with a certain dusty memory in the sea of consciousness, falling into a mysterious state.

  In this memory, Qin Yun was a cultivator from a humble background who sought the Great Way, enduring hardships and tribulations, wandering in the mortal world, spending countless days and nights sitting under the lamp to cultivate his energy and create talismans.

  Repeated failures did not discourage him, repeated setbacks could not knock him down. He was willing to do humble things to earn money to buy materials, and his Taoist heart became more solid and refined in the midst of failure and frustration!

  One day, he had an unimaginable encounter that others could hardly think of, his strength soared, and the way he refined talismans was even more incredible, becoming an existence admired by countless people.

  But even in his most glorious moments, he never forgot his past, those hard-won practices.

  It's just like Qin Yun now!

  Inside the room was quiet, and all that could be heard was the soft scratching sound of the brush on paper.

  One by one, the talismans were quickly refined, and occasionally a defective product would appear, but this could not affect Qin Yun's handwriting at all. In the blink of an eye, a thick stack of talisman paper was consumed completely.

  Qin Yun stopped his brush and looked at the completed talisman in front of him, a deep contemplative expression on his face.

  The state just now was really too wonderful, it seemed like the opening of Tong Ling attachment allowed a sealed Da Fu master to grasp the body and help him in refining talismans, but obviously it wasn't like that, because Qin Yun didn't open Tong Ling attachment at all.

  Why did this happen? Qin Yun was temporarily unable to understand, but he had an idea in his heart, could it be possible to refine a higher-level cloud token through the spiritual attachment of Tongling?

  However, after careful consideration, Qin Yun temporarily denied this idea, because even if there was a Da Fu Sheng soul possessing him, his own strength had not yet reached that level, and he probably wouldn't be able to succeed.

  Spirit possession is not omnipotent and has great limitations. Even with the strongest soul, it's impossible to exert abilities that surpass one's own.

  To refine Yunfu, you must cultivate the True Machine of Lianfu to at least the second layer.

  Just then, Green Willow quietly pushed open the door and walked in.

  She was apparently worried about affecting Qin Yun, but seeing that Qin Yun wasn't working, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

  "That bastard opposite the door has indeed sent people over, wanting to sweep away all our goods. Fortunately, I'm clever and had my partner declare a limit of forty per person in advance." Qing Liu said resentfully: "But this way won't last for long either, he'll definitely send even more people to buy!"

  "Qin Yun, if I must say it, then I'll sell everything and close up shop. Let him deal with the trouble himself!"

  Qin Yun smiled slightly and waved the thick stack of talismans in his hand: "Don't worry, I've just refined ninety-seven of them. This is only the beginning. We will never lose!"

  "Ninety-seven pieces, how is that possible!" Green Willow's eyes suddenly widened, her eyes filled with an incredulous expression: "It's only been such a short time, ninety-seven pieces, ah, wait, you're saying you've refined ninety-seven pieces?"

  If it were said that Qin Yun took out over a thousand talismans earlier, Lü Liu wouldn't be too surprised, after all, it was the accumulation of more than a month.

  But now, in just half a stick of incense time, Qin Yun had actually refined ninety-seven pieces, which made her feel unbelievable.

  What shocked Green Willow most was that there were only three waste symbols placed on the case!

  Such a success rate is really too frightening, it's simply impossible!

  "How did you do it?!"

  She suddenly had a strong urge to strip off Qin Yun's outer skin and see what kind of stuff was inside that made such a freak!

  To know that even the best symbol masters may not be able to achieve this level, how long has Qin Yun been studying?!

  "Sister, this is not important now. The most important thing is that we must defeat our opponent!" Qin Yun smiled and said: "So let them come to buy, anyway, we absolutely won't lose!"

  "Of course!"

  The green willow eyebrows flew in color, no one could be clearer than her. Qin Yun's high success rate of refining symbols meant what, all the worries were gone!

  "This time I'll give that bastard a good look!" she said gritting her teeth.

  "Uh-huh!" Qin Yun nodded: "Right, Master Sister, take these refined talismans first. And didn't I have ten pieces of Fire Spirit Jade with you? Take them all out for me now, I need them!"

  If it were an ordinary time, Qin Yun would ask for the Huo Ling Yu, and as a housekeeper, Green Willow would definitely ask why. However, now she trusts Qin Yun unconditionally, so without hesitation, she immediately took it out.

  These ten pieces of Huo Ling Jade were earned from selling the Earthworms before and have been left with Qing Liu all along without being touched.

  Qin Yun now wants Huo Lingyu, not because he wants to buy something, but to take it for his own use.

  Don't look at how easily he just refined nearly a hundred talismans, but maintaining his wisdom, clarity of mind, and concentration of yuan force all require the consumption of a large amount of true energy.

  Especially the latter, every bit of it is hard-won.

  If he continued to refine it like this, Qin Yun would soon have to stop due to his depleted true energy, and only after slowly recovering from the exhaustion of practicing could he start again.

  But time waits for no man, and won't let the opponent's sinister plot succeed, so it is necessary to constantly take out the talismans.

  So Qin Yun had to take another path!

  After getting the Huo Ling Jade, he put it aside first and continued to refine the protective charm.

  Among all the yellow talismans, amulets are undoubtedly the most popular ones. They can enhance the user's own defensive capabilities and can withstand ordinary sword, arrow, and bow attacks at critical moments.

  Although it is said that as the lowest-level talisman, the amulet has little defensive ability against sword energy, due to its relatively low price, it has become a must-have item for most Sword Sect disciples.

  Protective charms and Gathering Fire Charms were the most refined by Qin Yun, so refining them again was effortless. In just a short period of time, equivalent to burning an incense stick, he refined nearly two hundred charms in one breath, with a success rate of over 90%.

  However, the problem of true energy depletion inevitably arose, and the last few were due to the failure of true energy succession, resulting in impure yuan force, all ending in failure.

  But Qin Yun was well-prepared, his right hand still holding the symbol pen, and his left hand grasping a piece of Fire Spirit Jade.

  Huǒ Líng Yù is one of the three major danger zones in Jianzong Mountain, a special product of Huǒ Lóng Dòng. It is famous for its rich fire-attribute spiritual power and is excavated by sect disciples every day.

  The quality of the fire spirit jade is also divided, Qin Yun's hand-held fire spirit jade has a fine texture and few flaws, absolutely with medium-quality quality, in Xuanwu City, one piece can be exchanged for two and a half ordinary white spirit jade.

  He infused a thread of true energy into the Huo Ling Jade.

  An ordinary warrior would never do this, because once the true energy enters the jade, it is very likely to cause the internal spiritual power to become disordered and destroy the jade body, resulting in the entire piece of spiritual jade being scrapped.

  Only a high-ranking Qi Refiner or a powerful being at the Transformation or Divine Transcendence stage can extract spiritual energy through secret methods.

  Qin Yun is neither a Qi Refiner nor a powerful Spiritual Traveler, but he has the Heaven and Earth Supplementing Stone.

  At the moment when the true energy was injected, the Qiankun Supplementing Heaven Stone that had been lurking in the sea of consciousness suddenly shook violently, and a powerful suction force burst out instantly, absorbing the abundant spiritual power contained in the Huoling Jade into Qin Yun's body through the martial pulse!

  Qiankun Supplementing Heaven Stone can absorb the power of Lingyu, Qin Yun knew this a long time ago. By absorbing the spiritual energy of two pieces of Marrow Jade, not only did it satisfy the needs of the divine stone itself, but also brought countless benefits to Qin Yun.
