Cultivation in a Family: Starting as a Reincarnation of a Core Formation Master

After a while.

Li Chengxuan carried a bottle of Flame Bird Blood Ink in his storage bag and walked out of Yunxia Pavilion amidst the laughter of his servants.

After taking only a few steps, a cultivator in blue robes approached and transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist, I am Liu Minghua from the Liu Family Shop. If you have talismans to sell, you are welcome to come to my Liu Family Shop. The price will satisfy you."

When Li Chengxuan saw him coming, he intended to leave immediately, but upon hearing the name of the Liu family, he stopped in his tracks.

How did you know I was a talisman master?

Liu Minghua frankly said, "To be honest, I was right next to you just now and saw you go up to the third floor. That's usually where talisman masters buy the three treasures of talismanic arts, so I had my guess."

"I see. Your Liu family is quite shrewd."

Li Chengxuan smiled slightly.

"It's just a bargain. Why don't you come to my shop? You won't lose out."

Liu Minghua extended the invitation again.

"Maybe next time, I have no talismans to sell right now."

Li Chengxuan shook his head and politely declined.

"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. However, if you wish to sell talismans, you must come to the Liu family shop to find me. I will definitely satisfy you."

Liu Minghua did not insist on keeping him and left with a bow.

Li Chengxuan didn't pay much attention to the minor incident. He then found a secluded inn to remove his disguise and returned to the Li family residence.

......

a few days later.

With the addition of the Flame Bird Blood Ink, Li Chengxuan successfully drew a Fire Serpent Talisman that was infinitely close to the second tier.

"Although it's still a little short of reaching the second tier, if it's launched into a surprise attack, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't be able to dodge it easily."

Li Chengxuan smiled slightly.

He has always been very focused on his cultivation, taking Qi-replenishing pills every now and then, so his cultivation speed is very fast, but he is still some distance away from the late stage of Qi Refining.

In order to improve his self-defense capabilities, he had no choice but to focus on the art of talismans.

The result is quite good. At least with this talisman, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator has the ability to retaliate, although the retaliation is very slight.

Several more days passed.

On this day, inside the Li family's treasure building, several Li family talisman masters were enjoying tea and chatting.

At this moment, a message caught Lee Seung-hyun's attention.

"I heard that the Liu family spread the word last night that they are looking for a powerful first-tier frost talisman, but one that is more powerful than an ordinary first-tier talisman."

"A talisman master from the Li family said casually."

"It needs to be stronger than the first rank, but not reach the second rank. This is for that young master and young lady in the Qi Refining stage."

One of the talisman masters, who was not from the same clan, curled his lip. He had worked his way up from the bottom and had an instinctive aversion to this kind of thing.

"It should be. After all, second-tier talismans are not easy for Qi Refining cultivators to use. To be honest, these kinds of talismans are even rarer than ordinary second-tier talismans."

The Li family talisman master who spoke earlier responded.

"It doesn't matter if they are rare. After all, the cultivation world is never short of talented people. With the Liu family's wealth, it's only a matter of time before they get their hands on them."

As Li Chengxuan listened to their conversation, his mind raced, and almost subconsciously, a plan formed in his mind.

......

So, he first disguised himself as a burly man at the eighth level of Qi Refining and went to a shop called the Five Blessings Merchant Guild to buy a fingernail-sized piece of cold-attribute talisman ink.

Immediately, he rented an inn and drew three top-grade first-tier Frost Talismans.

However, during the drawing process, he used some methods from his previous life, so that the talisman would not appear abnormal from the outside, but once used, it would explode and injure himself.

His method was so subtle that even a second-tier talisman couldn't detect it.

After doing all this, he disguised himself as the white-bearded old man from a few days ago and swaggered into the Liu family's shop.

A short while later.

A tea room.

Liu Minghua smiled and said, "Your talismans are indeed quite good. I wonder if you have any more powerful, cold-attribute talismans?"

"Well, my water elemental root has too low sensitivity, and I'm not good at using the cold element."

Li Chengxuan chuckled softly, but a hint of unease flashed between his brows.

This subtle change in expression did not escape Liu Minghua's notice. His eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said:

"Sir, please don't hold back. To tell you the truth, this talisman is requested by a noble lady. As long as your talisman satisfies her, spirit stones will not be a problem, and there may even be unexpected benefits."

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. I have been cultivating the Dao for nearly a hundred years. I don't believe in anything like unexpected benefits. I only believe in this."

As he spoke, Li Chengxuan rubbed two fingers together, indicating that he only wanted spirit stones.

"That's easy, fellow Daoist, please take out the item."

Liu Minghua gritted his teeth and took out a mid-grade spirit stone.

Normally, one mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but in reality, it often reaches one hundred and ten, or even one hundred and ten.

Upon seeing the spirit stone, Li Chengxuan's eyes flashed with greed. He then pretended to be hesitant and took out three azure talismans.

"It's actually a Frost Talisman. This talisman is extremely difficult to draw. It's no exaggeration to say that only one in a thousand talisman masters can draw it."

Liu Minghua gasped, staring at Li Chengxuan in astonishment.

"If I could draw this talisman, I would have been a worshipper at a talisman shop long ago, instead of staying here."

Li Chengxuan sighed, his eyes filled with endless regret.

Seeing this, Liu Minghua understood. This person was probably a rogue cultivator with decent talisman-making skills. He probably didn't have any background and got lucky by obtaining these three Frost Talismans. It all made perfect sense.

So he cleared his throat and said, "These three Frost Talismans, and the ones before them, will cost 150 spirit stones."

This price is quite fair; he left the other party with enough profit.

To everyone's surprise, Li Chengxuan shook his head: "One hundred and eighty, not even half a piece less."

"Your Excellency is asking for too much," Liu Minghua said, slightly displeased.

"I told you, I only believe in spirit stones. As long as you take out the spirit stones, these talismans are yours."

Li Chengxuan chuckled, displaying an attitude that clearly only cared about spirit stones and not people.

next moment.

"Haha, okay then."

Liu Minghua suddenly smiled, and immediately took out eighty spirit stones, along with this mid-grade spirit stone, and handed them to Li Chengxuan.

His displeasure just now was a pretense; he just wanted to see what kind of person the other party really was. Now he was certain that this person was just an ordinary rogue cultivator who liked spirit stones.

A few breaths later, the transaction was completed.

Liu Minghua couldn't stop smiling and said, "You've done me a great favor. If you ever need anything in the future, please come to my shop anytime. I, Liu Minghua, will not refuse."

"Definitely, definitely."

Lee Seung-hyun suppressed a laugh, but pretended to be completely baffled.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't see you off. Please forgive me."

After saying that, Liu Minghua grabbed the talisman and practically skipped out of the teahouse, heading straight for the innermost shop in the Liu family compound.

"Please take a look, sir."

He found the new shopkeeper, Liu Zhuming, and showed him the three Frost Talismans.

Liu Zhuming, being an old and composed man, did not get excited, but instead carefully inquired about the origin of the talisman.

Upon learning that he was a rogue cultivator, he immediately sent someone to invite him, but by then, Li Chengxuan had already gone far away.

That night.

In the basement of the Liu family's shop.

Liu Minghua looked puzzled: "Shopkeeper, what are you hesitating for? This talisman just meets the requirements."

"That's the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of the Yunxia Sect. How could we accept something of unknown origin? If this item had been taken out by any respectable person in the market, I wouldn't have hesitated. But it just so happens to be a rogue cultivator who doesn't know his own strength."

Liu Zhuming sighed heavily.
