Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 12: Drawing Talismans to Protect the Heart (Seeking Collection)

"Don't, don't join in the excitement," Wen Rongxin pulled Li Guanxuan back, her face sternly reprimanding.

She had witnessed firsthand how the bandits had wiped out an entire family, which had frightened her so much that she quickly hid in a room with protective talismans.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Open your mouth."

Although she didn't know what her husband was going to do, Wen Rongxin obediently said, "Ah," and opened her rosy little mouth.

A pill suddenly slid down her throat with a gulp.

Soon, Wen Rongxin felt a warm flow enveloping her entire face, then spreading across her skin.

"What, what is this?" Wen Rongxin asked in astonishment.

"Youth-preserving pill, thirty low-grade spirit stones per pill," Li Guanxuan explained, sighing, "Before I and a few fellow disciples came to the Immortal Ruins, we took a youth-preserving pill. At that time, we thought our appearance would forever stay at twelve years old, which scared us so much that we couldn't sleep for several nights... Later, we found out that second-grade or higher youth-preserving pills can allow cultivators to freely change their age and appearance."

Then, Li Guanxuan looked at Wen Rongxin with a pained expression, hesitated, and said with a smile, "First-grade high-quality youth-preserving pills aren't very expensive. It just so happens that you're eighteen this year, the most beautiful time for a woman... Do you want us to go out in a few decades and have others think I'm your son?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongxin blinked her clear and bright almond eyes, not saying anything, but it seemed like she had said everything.

Li Guanxuan rolled his eyes and said unkindly, "Take care of yourself, I'll be attentive tonight!"

...

In the following days, Li Guanxuan drew talismans in the practice room during the day and diligently took care of Wen Rongxin at night.

About a month later, Chen Yinshan came to ask for talismans, and Li Guanxuan gave him eight protective talismans and two explosive spirit talismans, all of which were first-grade high-quality.

When Chen Yinshan received these talismans, he was dumbfounded.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Guanxuan had actually become a first-grade high-quality talisman master?

"We were supposed to be poor together until old age, but you quietly made a breakthrough?" Chen Yinshan muttered quietly.

"You... no wonder you're willing to buy deer whip wine," Chen Yinshan muttered quietly.

"Keep it a secret, keep it a secret... We've known each other for decades, and I'm only revealing these things to you a little bit," Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

"Don't worry, after finally finding a first-grade high-quality talisman master, I'm not stupid enough to sell you," Chen Yinshan laughed and said.

"This time, going to the Ten Thousand Mountains, I feel more at ease," Chen Yinshan said.

"I'll say it again, be cautious. In this world, staying alive is the most important thing. Treasures are abundant every year, but you only have one life. Don't risk your life for a little wealth," Li Guanxuan said seriously. "Old Chen, you're my true friend, don't die out there. Let's move into Azure Serenity City together."

"Stop cursing me," Chen Yinshan licked his lips and said slyly, "Do you still have deer whip wine? My legs have been a bit weak these days, you know..."

"You're really useless."

"You're amazing, you're powerful, but didn't you also need to drink wine to perform well?"

"Stop talking nonsense. When I passed by the fruit shop, the owner thought I had stolen his sugarcane!"

...

At night, Chen Yinshan and his wife came over for dinner.

Chen Yinshan only got five parts drunk, and Li Guanxuan, who lived next door, could hear the remaining five parts of his strength.

This made Li Guanxuan couldn't help but sigh: Under a fallen nest, how could there be unbroken eggs?

Afterward, Li Guanxuan also engaged in a fierce battle with a martial artist at the Qi Refining stage.

In the end, the martial artist was defeated.

The next day.

Li Guanxuan continued his dull and boring life of drawing and pasting talismans.

Due to his agreement with Zheng Huangjin, Li Guanxuan tried his best to improve the quality of the talismans.

As for the Exploding Spirit Talisman, a success rate of around one in twenty was considered good.

...

One year later.

The Chen Yinshan couple returned from the Shiwanda Mountains.

The couple had gained a lot, with plenty of medicinal herbs and monster corpses.

They didn't dare to show these things to outsiders and only took them out when they had dinner together. A rough estimate showed that they could sell them for nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"We didn't waste our efforts in collecting herbs and hunting monsters this year," Chen Yinshan grinned.

"There's too much. If we sell them in the market, we can indeed get nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones. But the risk is too high. It's easy to attract the attention of robbers. Tomorrow, come with me to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion. We can sell them for around a hundred spirit stones each," Li Guanxuan analyzed with a frown.

"A hundred spirit stones... that's not bad," Chen Yinshan felt a bit reluctant and envied those cultivators who knew how to do business.

Li Guanxuan smiled, "I'll pay for the hundred spirit stones. Just to be safe."

"No, we agreed to split the profits fifty-fifty. I'll take care of these things, so you don't have to worry," Chen Yinshan shook his head and refused to agree to anything else.

Zhao Guili helplessly said, "Just listen to Lao Li. What he said makes sense. If we leave so many spiritual herbs and monster corpses in the Dongjie market, it's only a matter of time before robbers target us. It will cause a lot of trouble. Let's live a peaceful life."

Wen Rongxin nodded in agreement.

Hearing his wife's words, Chen Yinshan reluctantly agreed.

The next day.

Li Guanxuan and Chen Yinshan went directly to the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, to be honest, if someone else brought these things, I would take all eight hundred spirit stones. But if you sell them... I've calculated it for you. It's nine hundred and sixty-eight low-grade spirit stones," Zheng Huangjin said.

Chen Yinshan was silently enjoying the free spirit tea.

When he heard that this batch of goods could be sold for nine hundred and sixty-eight low-grade spirit stones, his eyes almost popped out.

He had never seen so many spirit stones before!

Moreover, if they were to sell all these things, it would take at least a year, and there was no guarantee that they wouldn't encounter robbers.

Being able to sell them all at once without being harmed was simply a huge profit.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Zheng, for your help," Li Guanxuan expressed his gratitude and bowed.

"Oh, it's just helping each other," Zheng Huangjin waved his hand and then threw a spirit stone bag to Chen Yinshan, smiling, "Fellow Daoist, count them."

"No need to count. I trust the reputation of the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion," Chen Yinshan grinned. He knew that Li Guanxuan and Zheng Huangjin had something to discuss, so he tactfully left the room.

Immediately after, Li Guanxuan threw out a storage bag and said, "One hundred protective talismans and twenty Exploding Spirit Talismans, all of them are top-grade first-tier."

Hearing this, Zheng Huangjin's breathing suddenly became rapid. He took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense, then burst into laughter.

"Fellow Daoist, you're generous!"

Zheng Huangjin continued, "Twenty low-grade spirit stones for each protective talisman and thirty low-grade spirit stones for each Exploding Spirit Talisman. That's a total of two thousand six hundred low-grade spirit stones. Is that okay?"

Li Guanxuan took a deep breath and smiled, "Happy cooperation."

A year of drawing and pasting talismans was enough for him to move into the outer city!
