CHAPTER 200: CHAPTER 147: CLEARING INVENTORY_2

Li Yunjing exchanged talismans for materials, which made some of the loose cultivators glance at him a few more times.

"This is a low-tier talisman maker!"

That was the thought of the crowd.

Li Yunjing didn’t mind their speculation. In fact, it was a good thing for them to underestimate him.

There weren’t any worthwhile items at the stalls in the square, but Li Yunjing wasn’t disappointed as this was expected.

Looking to pick up a bargain?

Just take a look at the square, with hundreds of loose cultivators, each with green eyes, constantly eyeing the items at various stalls.

Where can you find a bargain?

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, finding a good bargain is not an easy task.

Leaving the square, Li Yunjing took a look around the nearby shops and finally selected the largest one.

It was a three-story building called the "Changling Commerce Association".

From one glance, Li Yunjing knew this was an allied commerce guild.

Such guilds were widespread, but whether the Changling Commerce Association operated directly or in an alliance mode, Li Yunjing couldn’t tell.

This was his first time dealing with this guild.

Seeing that its shop was the largest, Li Yunjing naturally wanted to take a look inside.

"Immortal Master, please come in!"

The clerk at the door, seeing Li Yunjing, greeted him without arrogance or deference and led him inside.

Clearly, the clerk did not think highly of Li Yunjing based on his attire and did not see him as a wealthy customer.

Such customers might buy some knick-knacks at best, and he wouldn’t get many spirit stones as commission.

The clerk naturally wouldn’t waste his breath flattering him.

Li Yunjing showed no emotion at the clerk’s disdain; he wouldn’t get angry with such a small character.

Entering the shop, Li Yunjing glanced around and saw that there were quite a few counters, a total of ten.

Each counter was transparent, made of glass, with treasures displayed underneath, making it convenient for customers to choose.

On the first floor of the hall, a dozen or so cultivators were examining the treasures under the glass cases, considering whether to make purchases.

"Do you purchase talismans?"

Li Yunjing didn’t even glance at these items and directly inquired of the clerk.

"Are you a talisman maker?"

The clerk was slightly startled, and his tone carried a hint of skepticism.

In the clerk’s view, talisman makers were all prominent figures, generally middle-aged or older.

The older they were, the higher their skills.

Li Yunjing looked like a young man in his twenties; what skills could he possibly have?

Even if he was a tier-one talisman maker, the clerk still found it hard to believe.

In the Youlan Market, talisman makers, alchemy masters, and artifact refiners were all big figures!

Each possessed substantial wealth, incomparable to someone like Li Yunjing, a down-and-out loose cultivator!

As for array masters and celestial secret masters—those special cultivators—the narrow-minded clerk had neither seen nor even heard of them.

"Ah! Clothes make the man; I’m being looked down upon by a clerk because of my plain attire!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and thought to himself.

"Do you take these?"

Li Yunjing maintained his composure and didn’t argue with the shortsighted fellow. With a flip of his hand, a stack of a hundred or so talismans appeared in his hand.

The thick stack of talismans shimmered slightly with five-colored light, stunning the clerk.

Even the customers seemed to notice the commotion and turned to look at Li Yunjing.

The thick stack of talismans practically blinded them.

Each cultivator couldn’t help but swallow hard.

The stack of talismans in Li Yunjing’s hand was worth a fortune!

If this weren’t the Changling Commerce Association, some customers would have been tempted to kill and rob Li Yunjing of his treasures.

"Do you want them or not?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, starting to lose patience, and asked again.

"Yes, yes, yes! Immortal Master, please wait! I will call the shopkeeper to discuss with you!"

Such a significant transaction was beyond the clerk’s authority; he had to call the shopkeeper to handle it personally.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Li Yunjing nodded and waved his hand for the clerk to hurry.

"Understood!"

The clerk, sensible enough, responded and hurried upstairs with quick steps, "tap, tap, tap".

Taking advantage of this free time, Li Yunjing strolled by the counters, looking around casually.

One of the customers, emboldened, asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you a talisman maker? Would you be willing to sell me some talismans?"

"I am not interested in retail."

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, refusing the purchase request.

He couldn’t be bothered to haggle for transactions involving a few spirit stones, a dozen, or even a hundred.

"Uh..."

The person laughed awkwardly and didn’t continue the conversation.

Given Li Yunjing’s clear attitude, he didn’t want to discuss much with small loose cultivators like him.

However, Li Yunjing’s appearance was deeply etched in his memory...

Ignoring these loose cultivator customers, Li Yunjing thought that those who dared to scheme against him were courting death!

Soon, Li Yunjing walked by all ten counters. The treasures sold here included tier-one elixirs, tier-one talismans, and middle-grade and high-grade magical artifacts.

These items were popular among loose cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Realm.

The Changling Commerce Association could meet most of the needs of loose cultivators.

As for higher-level items, they were on the second floor.

The second floor sold high-tier tier-one elixirs, high-grade talismans, and even some top-grade magical artifacts.

Arrays or special items were not available on the first and second floors of the Changling Commerce Association.

Perhaps the shop owner had some of these treasures kept privately.

The third floor of the Changling Commerce Association was the living and cultivation area for the shop owner and their family, as well as a warehouse.
