Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

After Xu Mo finished handling the breeding of the Noon Sword Ants, Luo Lingyue, who had been lying in bed unable to get up, finally recovered.

She braced herself against the bed with her hands and slowly tried to get up.

"You also have to run a talisman shop. If you really can't handle it, then don't go."

Seeing this, Xu Mo stepped forward, took Luo Lingyue's arm, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

"I can't stand it!"

Luo Lingyue's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes filled with reproach as she glared fiercely at Xu Mo.

She seemed to be complaining that Xu Mo had used too much force last night, causing her to feel sore all over.

"You really don't know what's important. You know perfectly well that I'm going to run the talisman shop with you today."

With Xu Mo's help, Luo Lingyue managed to get out of bed.

That's always been her personality; she's unwilling to admit defeat and is very stubborn.

The reason Xu Mo suddenly lost his composure last night was because Luo Lingyue refused to give in.

"It's not entirely my fault... Never mind, never mind, let's not talk about this."

Are you sure you're okay? I can go alone, but you'll need to draw a few extra talismans at home beforehand, just in case there's a shortage.

Luo Lingyue nodded slightly and went to the talisman-making table in the room to make several first-tier mid-grade ice talismans.

That's enough.

Xu Mo took the talismans and looked out the window.

"It's still early, why don't we play some more games?"

Xu Mo walked slowly behind Luo Lingyue, gently rubbing her shoulders. His voice was as warm and gentle as snow, as if it had a magical power.

"Anyway, it won't interfere with important business."

A breath of hot air blew out, hitting Luo Lingyue's earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly as she recalled Xu Mo's valor the previous night.

"No, don't do anything reckless."

Luo Lingyue raised her delicate hand and gently pushed away Xu Mo's cheek that was leaning closer, but deep down she felt a glimmer of hope.

Xu Mo had known Luo Lingyue for a long time and knew that she was a reserved person.

That's what they say, but that's not actually the case; in fact, they're quite looking forward to it.

He is a typical example of someone who says one thing but does another.

then.

Xu Mo did not retreat but advanced, turning his cheek to face Luo Lingyue's outstretched hand, closing his eyes and burying them in it.

Luo Lingyue felt a wetness in her palm, and as if she had been electrocuted, she abruptly withdrew her hand, blushed, and looked down at her chest, not daring to look any further.

"By the way, we haven't had breakfast yet, have we?"

Seeing that Luo Lingyue had dodged away and had not continued to pursue, Xu Mo suddenly started talking about other things.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lingyue realized that her stomach was empty. She had been so busy making talismans that she hadn't even had time to eat breakfast.

"Yes...yes, let's go have breakfast first."

Luo Lingyue looked slightly flustered as she straightened her clothes, which had been crumpled by Xu Mo.

Xu Mo looked at Luo Lingyue's shy and demure demeanor and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

Having lived together in the same room for so long, we're practically an old married couple, yet we still seem a bit naive when it comes to these things.

"However, that's also part of the fun."

Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly as a thought suddenly occurred to him, making his mouth dry.

"Why don't you try some dessert first?"

"You, you mustn't do anything reckless, I really can't take it anymore."

Upon seeing Xu Mo's mischievous expression, Luo Lingyue knew he must be thinking about something shameful again.

Xu Mo said no more, straightened up, and turned the wooden chair so that Luo Lingyue was facing him.

Luo Lingyue seemed to understand something, and two blushes rose to her fair cheeks.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes darting around.

Then.

Luo Lingyue muttered "utterly vulgar" with disdain, then stopped resisting and followed Xu Mo's instructions, tucking her black hair behind her ear and slightly opening her mouth.

"Look up at me."

Xu Mo's breathing became slightly rapid. He grabbed Luo Lingyue's neck with one hand and lifted her head slightly upwards.

…………

…………

After this matter was settled, a quarter of an hour had passed.

Xu Mo straightened his clothes, put the several first-grade mid-level ice talismans into his storage bag, and went to the talisman shop to start his business.

As Xu Mo and Luo Lingyue's talisman-making skills steadily improved, the quality of the talismans sold in the talisman shop also gradually increased.

However, the price has never increased, and it remains at the same price as the Treasure Pavilion, which sells similar talismans.

So.

Xu Mo's talisman shop, with its superior talisman quality, has snatched a large number of customers away from the Treasure Pavilion.

"The frequent occurrence of calamities is a good opportunity to raise prices, but neither the Treasure Pavilion nor the Zhou family's talisman shops have raised their prices yet."

I can only remain inactive for now.

After filling the empty counter with talismans, Xu Mo sat back down on the wooden chair and waited for the guests to arrive.

The flow of people in Liuyun Market was not large in the early morning. A few regular customers came by and chatted with Xu Mo for a while, and then bought a few talismans to spend.

Xu Mo wasn't in a hurry. Although he was a money-grubber, he valued spirit stones highly.

But being able to take a break occasionally is a joy.

"Master Xu, how much do you price the talismans you sell here?"

A slightly shrill voice rang out as a cultivator with a long face and a pointed chin walked to the outside of the talisman shop.

"What grade of talisman are you referring to, and which type?"

Xu Mo was naturally very enthusiastic when facing the new guest, and immediately stood up with a gentle smile.

"The talismans sold in my shop are priced the same as those at Treasure Pavilion, so you can rest assured that the quality is absolutely no worse than that of Treasure Pavilion."

The visitor remained silent, entered the shop, and leisurely strolled around before stopping in front of the counter displaying a high-quality, mid-grade first-tier Golden Light Talisman.

His eyes were half-closed, his arms were crossed over his chest, and he raised an eyebrow, speaking in a scrutinizing tone:

"Oh, really?"

In my opinion, the quality of the talismans you sell here is inferior to that of the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as he finished speaking, an imperceptible aura was released from the long-faced, pointed-chinned cultivator.

Sixth level of Qi Refining?

Sensing this aura, Xu Mo's smile froze, his brows furrowed, and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

"This cultivator has such a high level of cultivation, and he started putting others down as soon as he entered the shop. He's clearly here to cause trouble."

Xu Mo's face darkened, but he didn't break off the pretense of civility and instead asked:

"Then, fellow Daoist, may I ask in what way my talismans are inferior to this Treasure Pavilion?"

The long-faced, pointed-chinned cultivator glanced at the talismans on the counter and coldly replied:

"Hehe, I don't understand how you judge the quality of talismans, but to me they just don't look as good as the talismans from the Treasure Pavilion."

"Whether it's some kind of golden light talisman or that rare ice talisman, neither is nearly as good as the Treasure Pavilion's!"

Immediately, the long-faced, pointed-chinned cultivator changed his tone, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and spoke directly.

"Especially these golden talismans, their poor quality shouldn't even be displayed on the counter!"

"Master Xu, I advise you to stop selling Golden Light Talismans."

Upon hearing this...

Xu Mo had no intention of arguing with the long-faced, pointed-chinned cultivator anymore. His sharp, piercing eyes met Xu Mo's gaze directly.

"What if I don't?"
