Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Two hundred water shield talismans and one hundred and fifty fireball talismans," Jiang Shi said.

There are only 350 low-grade first-rank spirit talismans; there's no need to hide them.

This quantity wouldn't attract much attention even within the Canglin Chamber of Commerce.

Others assumed he had accumulated a year's worth of goods for the transaction, and many cultivators did the same.

Of course, if Jiang Shi were to take out a top-grade first-rank spirit talisman, it would attract attention.

Within Canglin City, there are very few people who can create top-grade first-rank spirit talismans.

Ordinary people don't have the time or energy to study top-grade spirit talismans.

With that talent, one could learn to make second-grade spirit talismans.

Jiang Shi took out the talisman from the package and placed it on the counter.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and examined it carefully.

Soon, the shopkeeper looked up at Jiang Shi and said:

"Excellent, the talismans are of very good quality. Three hundred and five first-grade low-level talismans, ten spirit crystals each, for a total of three thousand five hundred spirit crystals."

"Of course, if you need to exchange it for spirit stones, there will be a deduction of money; you can only exchange it for thirty-two spirit stones."

Spirit stones are of a higher grade than spirit crystals.

In the cultivation world, spirit stones have a wide range of uses. They can be traded, used for cultivation, setting up formations, and driving mechanical puppets.

Spirit stones have always been the hard currency in the cultivation world.

"Do you have any savings bags here?" Jiang Shi had no intention of exchanging them for spirit stones.

He spends his money wherever he earns it, never bringing a single penny home.

Spirit stones are not very useful to him for the time being, and it would be too wasteful to use them directly for cultivation; it would be better to exchange them for resources.

"One storage bag costs 1,500 spirit crystals." The shopkeeper smiled when he heard Jiang Shi speak.

He particularly liked customers like Jiang Shi, who were straightforward and direct.

"Give me a storage bag." The shopkeeper skillfully took a wooden box from the cabinet.

It contained all sorts of storage bags.

Some are extremely magnificent, like a splendid masterpiece.

Some were very ordinary, just a tattered piece of cloth.

It depends on personal preference; some people like luxury, while others prefer a low-key lifestyle.

Jiang Shi picked up the cloth bag, placed his hand on it, and felt the space inside.

The space is about the size of an eight-immortal table; it's neither too big nor too small.

That's enough for him.

Jiang Shi tucked the storage bag into his sleeve and concealed it.

Now, with his current cultivation level, he has to touch items with his hands to store or retrieve them.

Once your cultivation level is high enough, you can use your spiritual sense to retrieve items from the storage bag.

"Sir, is there anything else you need?" the shopkeeper asked.

"Do you have any low-grade magic artifacts?" Jiang Shi had seen Lu Wenyi and Liang Yunlei a couple of days ago, and each of them was holding a low-grade magic artifact.

I was really envious and thought it would be great if I could buy one.

"Of course! This Swift Water Sword is a low-grade magic weapon that just arrived yesterday. It has two magic runes engraved inside, and its power is quite impressive when used."

The shopkeeper took out a blue sword, and Jiang Shi was somewhat tempted.

"How much does this Swift Water Sword cost?" Jiang Shi asked the shopkeeper.

"This treasure can be acquired for only 150 spirit stones."

As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, Jiang Shi felt a chill in his heart.

I thought that after selling 350 spirit talismans, I would have some funds, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't even be enough to cover a fraction of the cost of low-grade magic items.

"Never mind then, let's buy some earth-elemental cultivation pills worth two thousand spirit crystals. Do you have any here?"

Jiang Shi didn't intend to keep a single penny; he exchanged it all for pills to break through the "Earth Spirit Technique."

"This is the Yellow Court Pill, which contains earth-elemental spiritual energy and has the effect of nourishing the internal organs and stabilizing the foundation."

The shopkeeper put away the low-grade magic artifact, then took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill, and showed it to Jiang Shi.

"Very good, this is the one." Jiang Shi knew from the aroma of the medicine that this pill was no worse than the Dingyang Pill, so he immediately decided to buy it.

"One is worth one thousand spirit crystals. Here are two. Please keep them safe." The shopkeeper took out two small porcelain bottles and handed them to Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi had just bought a new storage bag, so he put the two small porcelain bottles inside.

"Esteemed guest, this is a Yellow-level token from our Canglin Chamber of Commerce. Please accept it."

"I'll give you a discount next time you shop here." The shopkeeper took out a small yellow sign with the words "Cang Lin" engraved on it.

Originally, only customers who purchased items worth one hundred spirit stones could obtain this token.

However, the shopkeeper could tell from the more than three hundred talismans Jiang Shi had made that they were all made by one person, and he guessed that Jiang Shi must be a talisman maker.

Although Jiang Shi is only a low-level first-grade talisman maker and not worth recruiting, he is young and might be able to break through in the future, so it's good to establish a good relationship in advance.

"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper." Jiang Shi took the Cang Lin token and put it into his storage bag.

Jiang Shi walked out of the Chamber of Commerce, thinking that since everything was fine now, he should go to the meeting point as soon as possible.

The city of Canglin is filled with cultivators setting up stalls, and various shops line both sides of the street.

Some sell spirit beasts, some sell talismans, and some sell puppets; the variety is vast.

Although Canglin City has many cultivators, it is relatively safe due to the presence of patrolling guards.

After all, Canglin City has three major sects.

They joined forces to create this city of cultivation.

Qingyun Sect is one of these three major sects.

There are many shops here run by the Qingyun Sect, but of course, they are all controlled by scions of aristocratic families.

It has nothing to do with these menial disciples.

Canglin City forbids anyone from fighting; any conflicts must be resolved in the arena, as private duels will have serious consequences.

They will be suppressed by the three major sects.

Even Foundation Establishment cultivators will not be spared by the three major sects.

After all, Canglin City can provide the three major sects with a huge amount of wealth.

After waiting for a long time, Senior Brother Zhou Yuan came over.

"Junior Brother Jiang," Zhou Yuan said somewhat coldly.

Ever since Jiang Shi and Lu Wenyi stood together that time, Zhou Yuan's attitude towards Jiang Shi has worsened considerably.

"Senior Brother Zhou." Jiang Shi naturally wouldn't bother with such a cold shoulder from Zhou Yuan and risk making things unpleasant.

He ignored Zhou Yuan, and the two of them stood there on either side of each other without disturbing each other.

After a while, the senior brothers came over.

"Huh? Why hasn't Junior Brother Li arrived yet?" a senior brother asked Zhou Yuan in confusion.

"I saw Junior Brother Li near the Pleasure House just now. Could he have really gone in?" Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered this.

He was just passing by; he never expected Li Ze to actually dare to go in.

"This Li Ze is simply audacious! How could a mere Qi Refining Stage 4 cultivator like him go to such a place!" Senior Brother Hu was furious upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words.

"Let's go take a look." Although Senior Brother Hu was angry, they were, after all, true fellow disciples, so he couldn't just ignore it.

A moment later, the group arrived at the entrance of the Pleasure House.

Unexpectedly, I saw Li Ze at the door.

Li Ze was pinned to the ground by a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator, unable to move.

"Senior brother, don't be impulsive! What has my junior brother done to offend you?" Zhou Yuan quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Hmph! You're this kid's senior brother? He hired a fairy to keep him company in our courtyard, but afterwards he couldn't even pay for it."

"What do you think should be done about this?"
