The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 353 It's really not her who's bullying people.

Yun Ran felt a wave of speechlessness wash over her. It turned out this person had recommended himself.

Seeing that Yunran didn't say anything, Xinfu wasn't surprised.

If Yun Ran were to readily agree to be anyone's underling, he would find Yun Ran unreliable.

"Don't worry, Miss Yun, I will show you my worth."

Since Xinfu had said everything, Yunran couldn't very well say anything to refuse.

If the other person is truly a useful individual, she wouldn't mind being a 'talent scout'.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Xin Fu immediately smiled; he had seized this opportunity.

After Xin Fu left, Ginseng Fruit asked in a low voice, "Host, aren't you afraid that he was deliberately arranged by someone with ulterior motives to get close to you?"

“I’m just a temporary worker. What’s the point of getting close to him? If he’s useful, what’s wrong with helping him out? But if he really has ulterior motives, do you think Xie Xuzhi will let him off the hook?”

Renshenguo thought it made sense, and then continued to peel the melon seeds.

The 10-minute break was over quickly, and the people in the waiting area finally made their decision.

This time, the person sent was from the Chen family. Although he didn't have the same status as Nalan Jing, he was still a very influential person in the Chen family.

Chen Jinjiang looked at Yun Ran with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Ran: "I would like to ask Miss Yun for her skills in drawing talismans."

Yun Ran's previous move had completely suppressed those skilled in divination and ghost-catching, so the challengers naturally decided to try other approaches.

They refused to believe that Yun Ran was truly all-around capable and skilled in everything. They were confident they could always find Yun Ran's weaknesses and turn the tables.

"Drawing talismans?"

Yun Ran's eyes immediately showed a hint of pity. This was not her bullying anyone; she was genuinely skilled at drawing talismans.

In order to be lazy, save money, and improve efficiency, she studied methods such as drawing talismans in the air and drawing talismans with blood.

"Alright, whatever makes you happy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinjiang felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

If he hadn't witnessed Yun Ran's previous methods, he would definitely think that what Yun Ran was saying was just bragging.

Now, he feels he's probably going to fail.

However, now that he's stepped forward, if he were to admit defeat without competing, he probably wouldn't have the face to go back and face anyone.

He could only bite the bullet and say, "Then please enlighten me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, staff members brought over new tables, which were covered with blank talismans, high-grade cinnabar, and other items.

Yunran's gaze immediately fell on the cinnabar; even such a small amount must be worth a lot of money.

Back when she first started learning to draw talismans, she was forced to do chores for a full six months because she wasted a tiny bit of her junior uncle's cinnabar before he finally stopped pursuing the matter.

Now, it's just a small competition, and such good cinnabar has been wasted. If Junior Uncle were here, he'd probably be hacking her all over the mountain with his longsword.

Although Qingfeng Temple is large and prosperous, it has too many people, especially talented disciples. Everyone needs resources to cultivate, so it can't handle the workload.

If anyone wastes even a little bit, they become a public nuisance to Qingfeng Temple. And coincidentally, she is one of those public nuisances that people both love and hate.

All the past events made Yunran feel a slight urge to collect and enshrine these cinnabars.

Many people watching Yun Ran noticed that she remained motionless, her eyes seemingly fixed on the cinnabar. "What's wrong with Yun Ran? Could it be that she didn't like this batch of cinnabar? That shouldn't be the case; this is already of excellent quality."

"You don't know this, Yun Ran is backed by Director Xie. Director Xie comes from the Xie family, he has all sorts of good things, it's not surprising that he doesn't care about them."

"Top-grade cinnabar is usually kept hidden away and not easily brought out. It's just a competition, there's no need to make such a fuss."

……

Fortunately, Yunran was unaware of what these people were saying, otherwise she would have truly become resentful of the rich!

"Character drawing challenge, begin!"

As soon as the sound faded, Chen Jinjiang picked up his brush and began to concentrate on drawing talismans.

The Chen family is famous for drawing talismans. In many places where rumors of evil spirits have spread, their talismans will appear there.

With a success rate as high as 90%, except for a few evil spirits that cannot be contained, all other troubles can be easily resolved.

Of course, their family's amulets sell the best, generating astonishing profits every year, if it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Special Administration Bureau and other prominent families.

Now, the Chen family could become the richest family in the area in no time by selling talismans.

Seeing that Chen Jinjiang had already finished drawing one talisman, Yun Ran hadn't even picked up her brush yet when her gaze fell on the blank talisman paper.

It's better not to look, because the more Yunran looks, the more jealous she becomes.

The Chen family is indeed extremely wealthy.

These blank talisman papers are made of the finest materials; a single sheet could easily fetch several thousand dollars.

The Qingmu Daoist and others watching from the stands were puzzled as Yun Ran had not picked up her brush, even though they were not worried that Yun Ran would lose.

"What are you doing, young friend Yunran? Are you giving your opponent a handicap like in a game of chess?"

The blind Taoist priest and Yun Ran had been together in Japan, so looking at Yun Ran's eyes now, there was nothing he couldn't understand.

Then, she said casually, "She's currently resenting the rich."

The Venerable Jiechen looked at him with some doubt: "How did you know?"

"Because the look in her eyes now is exactly the same as when I saw the Chen family being so extravagant and wasteful. Sigh, you don't understand the resentment of the rich when you have nothing to show for it."

Everyone:...

Just then, Yunran picked up her brush. However, instead of using cinnabar and blank talisman paper, she directly held the brush and drew talismans in the air.

The onlookers initially thought Yun Ran was just warming up and making a few casual moves.

Until they sensed a special current flowing through Yunran's writing.

Immediately afterwards, beams of white light appeared before their eyes.

Then, they watched in disbelief as a talisman made of wisps of white light, which was neither possible nor should exist, floated gracefully in mid-air.

Those skilled in drawing talismans have already recognized that this is a defensive talisman.

But Yunran's hands didn't stop; she continued drawing. Everyone could only watch helplessly as the talisman made of white light showed no signs of dissipating.

They were also neatly suspended around Yunran, surrounding her.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought it was a movie special effect.
