Talisman Emperor
Chapter 20 – The Wimp
The sky had just brightened when Imp yawned before waking up with a sleepy look.
He used to be a hooligan on the street. Even though he was young, he was very intelligent. Boss Zhang of the general goods store Zhang liked him a month ago, and he was lucky to be an apprentice craft talisman who received a salary.
However, over the past month, he instead helped Zhang Dayong do something else: he served as a sales assistant.
The shop door swung open, revealing a crowd of people who had long gathered outside the door, to the point that even a drop of water could not leak out.
"It's open! Brother Imp, I want to order three Driller amulets, I want a new version of the talisman! ”
"Wimp, I'm your neighbor, Uncle Li. Do you still have a basic Azurewood talisman that possesses strength comparable to a second-rate talisman? ”
“Everything, don't compete with me. I've been queuing for three days just to buy a Goldedge talisman for my bad boy at home in self-defense. I will be angry with anyone who fights me! ”
"I am the instructor of the Heavenly Maple Heavenly Witch Institution of Pine Mist City. I came here this time to meet the Grandmaster who developed a new version of these basic talismans. I wonder if Brother Imp can introduce us? ”
…
Everyone exclaimed as they struggled towards the crowd towards the door without caring about their image, as if they were fighting for items in the market.
Imp had gotten used to this, because ever since the new Earthshield Talisman version created by Chen Xi circulated half a month ago, Zhang's General Shop reputation had grown rapidly overnight.
Boss Zhang Dayong took this opportunity to issue an announcement that shocked someone from his pocket –
Amulet Level Grandmaster Crafting Teacher's Personal Work,
Great Contributions Our Shop This Year,
Surprising Appearance of a New Version of Basic Talismans Made with Excellent Skill.
You are! It is worth having one!
The announcement was very shocking and indeed attracted a lot of attention, but they were all basic talismans, and most people were still a little doubtful about the authenticity of the news.
But when Zhang Dayong revealed by accident that the Little Princess of the Common Plantation had purchased 15 new versions of Earthshield talismans, Zhang's General Shop doors were instantly crowded with explosions.
Who within Pine Mist City did not know that the Little Princess of the Estate General was a small talisman addict? How could something that could arouse his favorite be mistaken?
Zhang Dayong was filled with excitement, he who had planned this beforehand had foreseen this situation when he saw Chen Xi constantly making various basic talismans that had completely different structures. However, there were only a few types of new version talismans made by Chen Xi and the numbers were very limited. In order to make full use of this precious resource, he firmly decided to only sell 10 of these new version talismans every day.
Everything is judged by scarcity, the rarer it is, the more valuable it is!
Zhang Dayong, who had been doing business for 30 years, naturally knew this principle, and for the sake of not accepting the demands by acquaintances and influential people, he even went to the level of hiding early on and entrusted Imp to handle everything.
“Everything, look at the plate number in your hand, the number I called can go into the store, the number I can't return tomorrow. "Imp roared loudly. "Number 155, number 156 …"
After consecutively calling out 10 numbers, those who were summoned had joyful and satisfied expressions, while those who were not called out began to shout furiously. Some plead, some try to exploit their connections, some use threats.
Imp tensed his face and remained indifferent with a stubborn expression. Yet in his heart, he still could not help feeling envious.
Imp used to be like any other apprentice, laughing at Chen Xi as a curse whose bad luck loomed over his head. When had he ever imagined that there would be a day that this curse could actually cause such an uproar?
If not for Boss Zhang repeatedly explaining to him that he was not allowed to reveal Chen Xi's identity, he even thought that just based on Chen Xi's ability to create a new version of the basic talisman, he would have even thought that just based on Chen Xi's ability to create a new version of the talisman, it would be able to cause the entire Pine Mist City to change their impression of Chen Xi!
Could it be that this fellow would really wipe out all his misfortunes and jump to become a famous great figure?
Imp secretly decided that he should respect Chen Xi in the future, as if by chance Chen Xi had actually risen up swiftly; if Chen Xi had easily given him a hand, it was as if Chen Xi had given him some help, isn't he going to kill? However, Chen Xi did not come to the store for more than ten days, and if Chen Xi still did not appear, then this new version's basic talisman would be out of stock …
The Commoners District of Pine Mist City, before Chen Xi's home.
Luo Chong looked at the young girl in simple clothes who was sitting on the stone stairs while staring blankly and could not hold a breath in his heart. Is there a need for the Little Princess of the General's Plantation to go as far as waiting before that unlucky curse, Chen Xi's home, for ten days just for the sake of some talisman? No wonder he was called Addis Little Talisman.
Luo Chong was the number one expert under the command of the Pine Mist City General Plantation. He had an unfathomable cultivation, his figure was thin with a pair of thin arms and a pair of clear and bright eyes.
Yet he was now hidden in the shadows, like an alert cheetah, observing the conditions around him at all times.
Qin Hongmian was infatuated with the Dao of talismans, but did not know the way of the world. He was naive like a foolish child, to the point that he had come alone to the Commoners District where criminals were mixed up with commoners. It was hard to be sure that no mishap would occur, so Luo Chong's job was to guard from the shadows and ensure Qin Hongmian's safety.
I wonder where the curse went, actually making me and Miss suffer fiercely for over ten days. What a no-brainer!
Luo Chong criticized nonstop.
…
Li Clan, Martial Training Hall.
"Yes!" The three youths with deep and ferocious expressions agreed simultaneously.
"Good! This battle is related to the honor of our Li Clan. I'll personally head over as well, and after you succeed I'll suggest to the Patriarch that he allow you three brothers to cultivate in the Ancestral House. "Manager Wu couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. The cultivation of the three brothers before him was at the 8th level of the Innate Realm. When they joined forces, they were fully capable of defeating a cultivator who had reached perfection in the Innate Realm. Using them to deal with a level 3 Innate Realm kid was extremely easy!
Cultivating in the Ancestral House?
The three brothers were all shocked and an inexplicable joy appeared on their faces together.
Manager Wu could not help but laugh in joy when he saw this, exactly one month later, it was truly like a god opportunity. He looked as if he had already seen his prey struggling hysterically before his eyes, in a futile effort …
The Clear Stream Restaurant.
The Quiet Room that was sealed shut for half a month opened from outside. When old man Ma, Qiao Nan, and Pei Pei saw the scene inside clearly, they gasped together and their expressions instantly froze.
The materials piled up on the hill had disappeared, and only Chen Xi who was sitting alone with his eyes closed in mediation inside the empty room, looked extremely conspicuous.
"Could this guy eat all the ingredients?" Qiao Nan looked as if he was seeing a ghost, and he shouted, "Those materials can sense ordinary cultivators for 10 years!"
"Not only is Big Brother Chen Xi handsome, but his meal is so domineering and fierce. Oho! Only such a man is worthy of me to willingly drown in the river of love. “Pei Pei's charming and enchanting look once again shows her son a crazy side.
Old man Ma had experienced Chen Xi's voracious abilities that far exceeded those of ordinary people before, but now when he saw this scene, he could not help but feel a coldness flowing down his spine, which was just a cold feeling, then he muttered. "I've taken a disciple who could be called a rare glutton, I wonder if it was a blessing or an accident, he ... he .. How could he eat so much?"
Pei Pei walked over to the stove and noticed the jade plates of various kinds of dishes scattered in succession, and he hurriedly gestured as he called out. "Senior Brother! Just soon! Come see! This seemed to be the cuisine cooked by Little Brother Chen Xi. ”
Old man Ma and Qiao Nan arrived in front of the stove, their expressions turning serious and solemn as they stared at the row of dishes with various eye-pleasing colors.
“This Fried Black Nut is not bad, the texture combination is first class, and the spirit energy is pure and thick. Pass. ”
"Mmm, the texture of this Jadeflame Boiled Meat Crisp Meat is not bad, and every aspect has reached first-class standards. What was most shocking of all was that he had actually thought of using the pure Yin attribute, the Streamlet Herb to wrap around the White Willow Beef Shank to compensate for the ground flavor of the Wood Cicada. Such an idea was truly ingenious, only causing one to get lost in astonishment. ”
"Lilac, Red Cassia Fruit, Wild Hemp Seeds .. The porridge made from these 110 kinds of spirit fruit is very delicious. It tastes sweet and refreshing, and also expresses a soft, sticky feeling that is hard to explain. Oho! I wonder how Little Brother Chen Xi thought about it, it seems to even contain nourishing and beautifying functions. ”
Three 3-leaf spirit chefs tasted the line in turn and they repeatedly praised it as the pleasant surprise in their eyes grew thicker.
"Sister senior, you have proven yourself to be able to see what others cannot. With Chen Xi as your disciple, why worry that no one will inherit your coat? "Said Qiao Nan emotionally. "Seeing Chen Xi made me recall myself from years ago. I'm also very talented, as well .. ”
Ma's parents directly ignored this narcissist, and said arrogantly, “Now, this disciple of mine has stepped up to the level of a 1-leaf spirit chef. In the next step, I will adopt a more severe training method and make it … "
"Wait a minute . Give me my salary for these few days, I want to travel home. "At an unknown time, Chen Xi was already standing up and he immediately interrupted Old man Ma with a disrespectful tone.
It was impossible for him to be polite since old man Ma did not say a word before throwing him into the Quiet Room, and even for more than 10 days. Even if it was someone else, their mood would not be better.
This kid gets angry, right? Was there a disciple who spoke to his master like this?
Old man Ma glared and was just about to light up when he instead saw something and exclaimed. "Your Cultivation …"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Nan and Pei Pei noticed the change in Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's figure was tall and thin before, and had a calm and stiff temperament at a young age, like a sharp sword sealed in dust within its stifled and hidden sheath.
Yet at this moment, instead of there being a trace of a unique sharp demeanor on him, and with every move he made, he looked similar to before, he looked similar to before, yet he gave others a vaguely visible pressure.
"I've advanced. '' Chen Xi replied. During these few days, apart from circulating his cultivation technique in meditation, the rest of his time was spent cooking dishes. He never expected that his cultivation would increase consecutively until it subconsciously broke through to the 8th level of the Innate Region!
“So that's how it is. "The old man, Ma, stared at the empty space and instantly understood everything. Although the materials stacked into hills were just some barely graded materials, but they all contained threads of pure spirit energy. Chen Xi was already in the Innate Realm, and now that she swallowed so many ingredients in such a short period of time, advancing cultivation was justifiable.
Old man Ma did not know that Chen Xi had not only broken through to the 8th level of the Innate Realm in the qi refining, even his Universe Star Body Forging Technique had been developed to the third level, the researchers said, reach the step of squeezing the tendon with water . He was already able to take advantage of the extremely bad qi of the Flexible Waterstar to squeeze the tendon!
Chen Xi's current skin was like copper, his tendons and bones were like iron, and his body had been forged to be flexible and tough. It was precisely because of this that his temperament had quietly experienced a trace of change. He was full of vigor and no longer had the weak appearance from before.
Old man Ma seemed to have realized something when he saw Chen Xi's calm and resolute expression: purely forcing Chen Xi to study culinary arts was unrealistic. So, he decided to give Chen Xi a few days off and raised his hand to throw the Hundred Treasure Bag at Chen Xi. “The salary for these 15 days is in it. Since you want to go home, then Master will not stop you. But you still have to hurry back here, don't waste your natural talent in the Culinary Dao. ”
The irritation that had accumulated over these past few days spread substantially when he obtained the spirit stones and even came with the Hundred Treasure Bag. He nodded before turning around and leaving in a hurry.
After walking out of the Clear Stream Restaurant and looking at the sun and blue sky that he had not seen for a long time, Chen Xi slightly felt as if he had been cut off from the outside world for centuries, she said, and leave the Quiet Space feel .. Really great!
Chen Xi did not sigh with emotion anymore and walked towards her house in a hurry. However, he was only walking in the middle of the road when he suddenly felt a trace of a terrifying feeling surging into his heart, as if being targeted by a poisonous snake from the shadows.
He did not hesitate in the slightest when he suddenly stopped his steps before turning his head to stare into the distance.
At this moment, Chen Xi stood guard as if faced by a formidable foe and the True Essence throughout her body exploded. He was like a spear that pierced through the sky, in an imposing manner that was extremely fast and ferocious!
