Chapter 333 Black Talisman
inside the room.

Qin Ming then looked at several other intelligence jade slips of different levels.

I have to say that the intelligence gathering capability of Qianji Pavilion is really quite impressive.

"Just these few."

Qin Ming selected a few pieces of information that interested him, but did not take in too much at once, which was completely in line with his current status as a late foundation building stage.

So as not to show too much wealth and cause unnecessary suspicion.

At first, Shopkeeper Wei thought that the consumption level of this foreign monk might not be very high.

After all, very few monks are willing to spend a lot of money on things like advanced intelligence.

He didn't expect that the other party bought several copies at once, which made him look up to Qin Ming.

Shopkeeper Wei finally smiled with a calm face and said, "Three copies of Class A intelligence, and one copy each of the other Class B, C, and D intelligence. Thank you for two thousand six hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

"Since you purchased a large amount of intelligence at one time, I can make the decision and give you one copy each of Grade C and Grade D intelligence."

"If you need anything in the future, just come to our store and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

As a veteran who has been doing business here for many years, Manager Wei is also very capable.

Qin Ming took out enough spirit stones and handed them to Shopkeeper Wei, then put away the jade slip.

Transaction is over.

Qin Ming left the shop.

……

Next, he followed the instructions on the map and came to Jingxue Pavilion in Lingxu Market.

It is still an iconic nine-story building, simple and elegant.

This shop was opened as a branch of Jingxue Pavilion in Dajin, and some permanent monks were sent to maintain the operation of the shop.

The identity that Gu Qingzhao arranged for Qin Ming was the new shopkeeper.

Qin Ming walked into the store and was immediately greeted by a waiter.

"Senior, welcome to our store. We have all kinds of cultivation resources. What can I help you with?"

"Call your leader out." Qin Ming said without denying.

The waiter was stunned, but he did not dare to disobey the opinion of the Foundation Establishment Senior in front of him.

After a while.

An old man in a brown robe came down from upstairs. He was in the initial stage of foundation building, had a capable face and a short beard.

"My name is Jia Heyi. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Please go upstairs and discuss in detail."

"I was sent by Pavilion Master Gu." Qin Ming said straight to the point, and then handed the ID card and letter to the other party.

After Jia Heyi took the item and checked it, he quickly bowed to Qin Ming and said, "Greetings, Shopkeeper Lu!"

Afterwards, he summoned all his men in Jingxue Pavilion.

"This is Shopkeeper Lu, the new manager sent by the Pavilion Master. Please come and meet him quickly."

"From now on, all matters in the pavilion will be decided by Manager Lu."

There were about twenty or thirty people in the shop, standing in the yard, and they all bowed respectfully to Qin Ming.

"Greetings, Shopkeeper Lu!"

Qin Ming had no expression on his face. He waved his hand calmly and said calmly, "No need to be polite."

"You all should go about yourselves."

Then he said to Jia Heyi, "Old Jia, come with me with the account book."

Jia Heyi quickly responded.

……

After half a stick of incense.

In the private room on the fourth floor of Jingxue Pavilion, Qin Ming sipped the spiritual tea and pretended to flip through the account book.

Through a brief conversation with Jia Heyi, he also roughly understood the current situation of Jingxue Pavilion.

Not to mention in the Greater Jin area, even in the Lingxu market town, it was only a low-tier business and could not be ranked.

Compared with large businesses like Qianji Pavilion which has the background of Lihuo Palace, the gap is even more obvious.

At present, the development of Jingxue Pavilion in Lingxu Market is quite satisfactory.

In addition to the restaurant business, other businesses of buying and selling cultivation resources are still being done, but because they are foreign forces, the advantages of purchasing resources are far less than those of local businesses. Of course, Qin Ming's main purpose of coming here is not to run a store, so he coughed lightly and said to Jia Heyi meaningfully: "Old Jia! I am here only to serve as the temporary manager."

"I'm unfamiliar with the place, so you should just take care of the store's details as usual."

???

"I looked at the revenue in recent years. You are quite capable and have handled it quite well!"

When these words were spoken, even Jia Heyi, who was standing cautiously by the side, was stunned.

An idea immediately popped up in his shrewd mind: "Could it be that the new shopkeeper Lu is trying to trap me?"

"How can you just sit back and do nothing?"

Jia Heyi laughed dryly and respectfully poured tea for Qin Ming. "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Lu. I'll keep an eye on you and report to you if anything happens!"

"Well, okay." Qin Ming nodded, showing a satisfied look.

Afterwards, I chatted with the other party for a while and got a general understanding of the specific situation in Lingxu Market.

"By the way, are there any large-scale trade fairs to be held recently?" Qin Ming suddenly asked.

Jia Heyi thought for a moment and replied, "Now that you ask, I actually remembered something."

"It is said that the 'Wufu Auction House' established by the Wandao Business Alliance in Wuxing Mountain will hold a large-scale auction after March, but only the major businesses under its umbrella are eligible to enter."

"Otherwise, you need to be at the Jindan stage to participate in the auction."

Qin Ming asked this because he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the items of those demon cultivators. They were of no use to him anyway.

In addition, you can also purchase some spiritual materials and pill recipes, such as the high-level pill recipe made with the Green-faced Poisonous Dragon Demon Pill.

They had almost finished chatting, so Qin Ming asked Jia Heyi to leave.

As the new shopkeeper appointed by Jingxue Pavilion, 'Shopkeeper Lu' was given an independent courtyard in Lingxu Market.

It also makes Qin Ming's practice very convenient.

Because he always entered the small spiritual realm to practice, his daily farming and practice were not affected at all.

After arriving in Dajin, the Sky-Eating Rat kept yelling at him that he wanted to go out and see the world and breathe the fresh air here.

Qin Ming asked it to be patient and wait for a while.

"Don't panic! The spiritual vein environment outside is not as good as here, and you are still not satisfied."

"I see your skin is itchy again."

……

This day.

Qin Ming was in a house in Xiaoling Realm, concentrating on making something.

A black wooden seal, with demonic energy surging throughout it, was constantly absorbing the rich death energy from the corpses of several Jindan stage monks on the ground.

As Qin Ming's palms continued to cast spells, mysterious runes were constantly outlined on the black seal, interweaving together and emitting a strange aura.

Finally, a ray of green Four Seasons Divine Light emerged from Qin Ming's hand and was injected into the black seal.

In an instant.

The black seal shattered instantly, and a pitch-black rune flew out from it!

Qin Ming's eyes were sharp. He stretched out his hand, took the rune into his hand, and then disappeared.

But as his mind moved, the black rune, emitting an evil aura, reappeared.

This is a black talisman he made based on the making techniques of the 'Life and Death Talisman' in the Treasure Refining Technique, combined with a secret method called 'Human Puppet Technique' in the 'Yuansha Zhongmo Zhenjing'.

The greatest function of this black talisman is that once it is planted in the body of a cultivator, the other party will completely become his puppet.

He can also see through the other person's every move, and even his thoughts are under his control; his life and death are really in his own hands.

After Qin Ming came to Dajin and learned about the situation firsthand, he felt that there were still many dangers here. He decided to foster a puppet to speak for him and let the puppet do some dangerous things.

After refining the life and death talisman, Qin Ming left the small spiritual realm and came to the shop to drink tea.

He looked out the window. The streets of Lingxu Market were crowded with people and the cries of peddlers were heard one after another.

Suddenly, there was a loud commotion.

Pedestrians on the street moved away, and even nearby stalls were damaged in the impact.

All I saw was a golden chariot, pulled by two handsome and extraordinary sea beasts, traveling on the main road.

Inside the chariot sat a monk in luxurious attire. He did not try to conceal himself but instead behaved in a very high-profile manner.

Qin Ming looked carefully and recognized the man instantly.
