Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

Xu Mo finally finished dealing with the matter of the three talisman-making apprentices.

He then left the talisman-making room in the Luo family's territory, summoned the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword, and flew back to his own courtyard.

Xu Mo arrived at the courtyard entrance, took out his identity token from his storage bag, and unlocked the courtyard's restrictions.

After entering the courtyard, Xu Mo slowly walked to the stone table and picked up the bag of Qingling tea that Luo Changfeng had given him earlier.

He picked up the Qingling Tea and shook it gently.

"Looks like... this Qingling Tea is finally coming to an end."

The large bag of Qingling Tea that Luo Changfeng gave him back then was quite substantial.

Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue brewed several pots of Qingling Tea every day, and it wasn't until now that the pots were empty.

This shows that Luo Changfeng was quite generous when it came to giving gifts.

"Let's finish the rest tonight."

Xu Mo poured all the Qingling Tea into the teapot.

A moment later, the Qingling Tea was ready.

A familiar fluctuation of spiritual energy also emanated from outside the courtyard.

"It must be Luo Lingyue who's back... I'll fill her cup with Qingling Tea first."

The array restrictions in the courtyard were lifted, and Xu Mo picked up the teapot.

Whoosh!

Under Xu Mo's meticulous control, the tea poured from the teapot flowed into the teacup without a single drop spilling.

"Come, welcome Your Majesty home. This cup of Qingling tea is a toast to you."

Xu Mo took the initiative to greet him, a gentle smile on his face.

Luo Lingyue chuckled at Xu Mo's words.

"What a chatterbox."

Luo Lingyue didn't stand on ceremony with Xu Mo and directly accepted the teacup he offered.

Luo Lingyue sipped her Qingling tea slowly as she walked and sat down on the stone bench.

"This is the last bit of Qingling Tea. Once it's finished today, there won't be any left."

Xu Mo spoke softly, poured himself a glass, and slowly sipped it.

"After drinking this big bag of Qingling Tea, it really saved me from months of arduous cultivation."

"These hundred arts of cultivation, there isn't a single one that's useless..."

The spiritual tea made by the spiritual tea master, while not as beneficial to cultivation as elixirs, at least does not contain any toxic substances.

Spiritual Tea Master is one of the many arts of cultivation, but its lineage is relatively rare in the entire immortal realm, far inferior to alchemy, array formations, artifacts, and talismans.

But it has survived the tides of time to this day.

There is something mysterious about it.

"That's right, but spiritual tea is quite expensive and its benefits to cultivation are relatively small... it's still far inferior to elixirs."

Luo Lingyue also slowly sipped her Qingling tea and chimed in agreement.

After the two finished tasting the Qingling Tea in the teapot, Xu Mo suddenly leaned closer and pulled Luo Lingyue up.

"Alright, it's time to wash up and rest."

Having lived with Xu Mo for a while, Luo Lingyue naturally knew what he was up to.

She lowered her head slightly, a blush creeping across her exquisitely fair cheeks.

She let Xu Mo pull her wrist and slowly walked into the room.

Looking at Luo Lingyue's shy appearance, Xu Mo couldn't help but reach out, lift up Bingqiaoyun's long skirt, and teasingly touch her fair and slender legs.

"Today, let's bathe together and enjoy a romantic swim."

Ziyu Ridge, Liuyun Market.

A light mist enveloped the area in the early morning, obscuring the soft sunlight layer by layer.

Even so, it couldn't stop the increasing flow of people from Liuyun Market.

Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue left the Luo family's territory early and went to their talisman shop.

As usual, upon arriving at the talisman shop, the first thing to do is to go to the talisman-making room and make as many talismans as possible.

While the flow of people in Liuyun Market has not yet reached its peak, we can put a few more talismans on the sparse counters.

"The talismans I drew last night weren't enough; I need to work harder this morning."

Xu Mo bent over his desk, lit a stick of incense to calm his mind, and began to create a talisman.

The quality of their talisman shop is supported by high-grade first-tier mid-level Golden Light Talismans and relatively rare first-tier mid-level Ice Talismans.

This led to a boom in business for talisman shops, and more and more people came to buy them.

"See, I told you... With the first-tier mid-grade ice talisman and the first-tier mid-grade fine golden light talisman, we're already overwhelmed with work."

Luo Lingyue lit a concentration incense stick in front of her talisman-making table and said with some pride.

One hour later.

Xu Mo extinguished the incense and quietly placed three high-quality first-tier talismans on the talisman-making table.

Luo Lingyue also completed the production of three first-tier mid-grade ice talismans.

"That's about enough. These newly made talismans are enough to sell today."

Xu Mo picked up a high-quality, mid-grade Golden Light Talisman from his talisman-making table and walked over to Luo Lingyue's talisman-making table.

He also took the three mid-grade first-tier ice talismans that were stacked together in his hand.

After leaving the talisman-making room, Xu Mo first found the cabinet where high-quality first-tier mid-grade golden light talismans were displayed.

He put the loose, mid-grade, high-quality first-tier golden light talisman in his hand into it.

Then.

Xu Mo raised his eyes and quickly spotted the exclusive counter for mid-grade first-tier ice talismans.

He opened the counter and placed the first-grade mid-level ice talismans he was holding inside one by one.

"All done. Now you can open the door to the talisman shop and start selling talismans."

Xu Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Over the past few days, Xu Mo has watched as the talismans he and Luo Lingyue made have been sold one by one.

Numerous spirit stones continuously entered Xu Mo's storage bag.

Although half of the spirit stones generated from the revenue of the talisman shop jointly run by Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue are to be handed over to the family.

However, Xu Mo was at least able to get half of it.

Based on the revenue of these days, half of the spirit stones is not a small amount.

According to Xu Mo's rough estimate, it was far higher than his monthly salary.

"In just these few days, this talisman shop has earned six hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Xu Mo released his divine sense and probed into the storage bag tied to his waist.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Mo was also taken aback.

It's important to understand that these 600 low-grade spirit stones are not a month's revenue.

Their talisman shop had only been open for a few days.

Moreover, this was earned in the past few days when there were hardly any customers.

This speed at which you can earn spirit stones is considered very fast.

"Now, this talisman shop has made a name for itself and has a steady stream of cultivators coming to buy talismans."

"The spirit stones I earn in the future will only increase."

Thinking of this, Xu Mo felt a surge of excitement.

After all, the more spirit stones this talisman shop earns, the more spirit stones he can get.

Unlike before, when they lived in seclusion in the Luo family's territory, relying on making talismans to receive a meager amount of spirit stones each month.

"This can be considered a basic step towards working for yourself!"

Xu Mo withdrew his divine sense, his whole body filled with energy and passion.

"Let's begin today's business!"

soon.

Xu Mo opened the talisman shop, and wave after wave of cultivators walked by.

Every now and then, one or two cultivators would come up and inquire about the price of the talismans.

After carefully examining the quality of the talisman for a moment, he finally paid for it with spirit stones and left the talisman shop satisfied.

…………

…………

It was afternoon.

After Xu Mo finished receiving a cultivator who came to buy talismans, he watched the cultivator walk away.

Another cultivator arrived at the entrance of the talisman shop, looking quite hurried.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, there's no need to be in such a hurry... I wonder what kind of talisman you want to buy? Tell me your requirements."

However, the cultivator ignored Xu Mo and simply took out a letter from his storage bag and placed it on the counter in front of Xu Mo.

"Master Xu, this is a letter sent to you by the demon-hunting shop."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cultivator turned around and hurried off to deliver the next letter.

"Oh, so it was the messenger who delivered my letter..."

Xu Mo saw the cultivator's hurried figure as he traveled.

Only then did they realize that this was not a cultivator who had come to the talisman shop to buy talismans.

"A month has passed, and the demon hunters I hired at the demon hunting shop at a high price have finally found Zi Shi and Wu Shi."

Xu Mo opened the letter that the messenger had placed on the counter, spread it out, and picked it up to read it carefully.

"Greetings."

"Distinguished guest Xu Mo, congratulations on opening a talisman shop in the prime location of Liuyun Market."

The first line of the letter was, of course, the same greeting.

Then, the shopkeeper of the demon-hunting shop congratulated Xu Mo.

Seeing this, Xu Mo couldn't help but nod, thinking to himself that the shopkeeper of this demon-hunting shop knew how to handle people.

They're very good at navigating social interactions.

Xu Mo shifted his gaze and continued reading the letter sent by the shopkeeper of the demon-hunting shop.

"After a month of searching, the three demon hunters you hired at a high price have lived up to their duties and found the Zi Stone and Wu Stone that you specified."

We hope you can take some time out of your busy schedule to visit the Monster Hunting Shop this month to collect your Zi Stone and Wu Stone.

After reading the letter sent by the shopkeeper of the demon-hunting shop, Xu Mo casually tossed it aside and began to ponder.

"The owner of this demon-hunting shop is a very particular person."

He had promised to send me a letter informing me of the results of my search for the two unusual stones, and he really did send a letter.

"Even though the shopkeeper of the demon-hunting shop knows that I run a talisman shop in the prime location of Liuyun Market, he doesn't personally deliver the letter."

Xu Mo shook his head, secretly guessing that the shopkeeper of the demon-hunting shop was probably also very busy and had little time to deliver the message.

"However, my talisman shop is not far from the demon-hunting shop."

"After all, the entire Liuyun Market is only so big. For a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, they can fly over quickly by consuming a little spiritual energy."

"It seems that even though the Luo family, the Beast Tamer, opened a spirit beast shop in Liuyun Market, it didn't have much of an impact on this demon hunting shop."

Xu Mo rested his chin on his hands, deep in thought.

"Indeed, the path of beast taming and the path of demon hunting, although they look and sound quite similar, seem to have many things in common."

"But in reality, there are still many differences between the art of beast taming and the art of demon hunting."

in fact.

This can be seen from the fact that the Luo family, who owned the Beast Taming Clan, opened a spirit beast shop in Liuyun Market and operated it for a period of time, yet their demon hunting shops were not significantly affected.

There is a significant difference between the art of beast taming and the art of demon hunting.

Beast taming refers to controlling spirit beasts, which involves transforming demonic beasts into spirit beasts through a series of methods to achieve the purpose of control.

Of course, in the art of beast taming, there are also spirit beasts that have been bred and raised for generations.

Therefore, the Luo family, the Beast Tamers, opened this spirit beast shop in Liuyun Market.

Their main business is selling spirit beasts to cultivators who are relatively weak.

To make up for oneself.

Hunting demons refers to hunting or capturing demons alive in the mountains where they inhabit or in their territories.

At the same time, since there are all sorts of items in the mountains, demon hunters sometimes also have the task of finding treasures.

The Monster Hunting Shop mainly sells materials for various monsters and provides customers with services for finding treasures.

"Upon closer reflection, the services offered by demon-hunting shops and spirit beast shops are indeed different."

"It seems I was too simplistic before, confusing the art of beast taming with the art of demon hunting."

"Indeed, among the various arts of cultivation, some skills may appear quite similar on the surface, but they are actually quite different."

The various arts and crafts of cultivation in this world are just like the 360 ​​trades that people often mentioned in Xu Mo's previous life, each one different.

"All the shops in Liuyun Market close at the same time. If you go to get the talisman after the shop has closed, you will miss it."

Tell Luo Lingyue to let him watch the talisman shop for now...

After some thought, Xu Mo decided to go to the demon-hunting shop immediately to retrieve the Zi Shi and Wu Shi.

Xu Mo returned to the talisman-making room in the talisman shop.

"Why are you coming in here instead of watching the shop?"

Luo Lingyue saw Xu Mo enter the talisman-making room and asked in confusion.

Xu Mo handed the envelope to Luo Lingyue for inspection and explained:

"A month ago, the demon hunter who took your spirit stones to the demon hunting shop to hire me has already found the Zi Stone and Wu Stone that I needed."

"It's currently in the monster-hunting shop; I need to go get it."

Therefore, I will be leaving the talisman shop for a while, and I will need you to look after it during this time.

Luo Lingyue naturally knew the closing time of all the shops in Liuyun Market; they were all the same.

After glancing through the letters briefly, Luo Lingyue nodded slightly.

"Go ahead, I'll take good care of our talisman shop."

Having received Luo Lingyue's reply, Xu Mo didn't linger any longer.

He immediately took the letter and left the talisman shop.

Then, Xu Mo had a thought and summoned the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword.

He placed his feet firmly on the blade of the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword and channeled the Gengjin spiritual power within his body into the sword.

The Gengjin Cold Iron Sword soared into the air, carrying Xu Mo away.

In just a few breaths, Xu Mo arrived at the entrance of the demon-hunting shop.

The Demon Hunting Shop is located on the edge of Liuyun Market, very close to the spirit beast shop run by the Beast Taming Luo family.

Xu Mo turned his head and glanced at the spirit beast shop not far away, then looked at the demon hunting shop in front of him.

Both shops are frequented by many cultivators.

They are all doing very well.
