Chapter 282 The Entire City Shook
On the other side, outside the city, achild covered in blood was running quickly into the city.
His eyes were red. As he ran, he looked behind him and continued running into the city.
This child was none other than the dark-skinned child who had come to Li Xueer’s shop to sell Demon Rabbits.
At this moment, the clothes on his body were torn and his entire body was dirty. The black ash from the explosion on his body, his weapons, and everything else were gone. Even his shoes were missing.
However, he did not care about it. He continued to run hurriedly into the city, gritting his teeth as he ran with all his might.
After running for a period of time, he finally ran back into the city. The first thing he did was run to the door of his neighbor next door.
Bang! Bang! Bang! “Uncle Zhu Zi, open the door. Something bad has happened. Something big has happened.”
The dark-skinnedchild knocked on the door with all his might. At the same time, he looked at the broken donkey cart tied to the door. He gritted his teeth and started to untie the donkey cart.
Creak!
The door was opened and a haggard middle-aged man with crippled legs walked out.
“What’s wrong, Hei Zi? Where’s my son? Why are you untying the hemp rope?”.
“Uncle Zhu Zi, something has happened. Come with me to the outskirts of the city and get your donkey cart. Quick!” The dark-skinned child hurriedly said.
“Go to the outskirts of the city? Get my donkey cart? What’s going on?”
Uncle Zhu Zi was puzzled, but when he saw that Hei Zi’s body was covered in blood and that his son had not returned, uncle Zhu Zi was stunned. He had a bad premonition.
“You… tell me what’s going on, Quick!” Uncle Zhu Zi said with a trembling voice.
“You’ll know when you get there.”
After the dark-skinned child finished speaking, he ran out in a hurry. He did not even return to his own home as he headed straight towards the direction outside the city.
Uncle Zhu Zi hurriedly caught up and drove the broken donkey cart towards the direction outside the city. He did not know what had happened, but he had a bad premonition in his heart.
With this bad premonition, Uncle Zhu Zhi left the city and followed the dark-skinned child all the way. Finally, he stopped near the forest outside the city.
When they reached here, Uncle Zhu Zi saw a child standing outside the forest. He was also covered in blood.
“Uncle Zhu Zi, park the donkey cart at the edge of the forest first. Come in quickly.”
The dark-skinned child hurriedly waved his hand and led Uncle Zhu Zi carefully into the forest.
However, as soon as they entered the forest, Uncle Zhu Zi smelled a strong smell of blood. This made Uncle Zhu Zi feel more and more depressed. He was even more worried about his child.
Under this kind of emotion, Uncle Zhu Zi continued to walk forward. Finally, he stopped near a bush and saw the scene in front of him.
In the next second, Uncle Zhu Zi’s pupils contracted!
On the other side, in Li Xueer’s shop…
A middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance was bringing his errand boy to buy things in the shop. After they finished buying, they turned their heads to look at the big bamboo basket beside them.
“Eh? What a strange talisman.”
The scholarly-looking middle-aged man walked to the big bamboo basket and picked up one of the relatively complete talismans. He felt that the drawing of this talisman was somewhat wrong, and it was somewhat different from what he had imagined.
With deep doubts, the scholarly-looking middle-aged man flipped through it for a long time. He felt that although this thing was damaged, it could actually increase his inspiration, giving him a direction for the future.
With surprise, he turned to look at the counter and said, “Boss, how much is this talisman?”
This…”
Li Xueer was checking the goods. When she heard the inquiry, she turned her head and took a look. She remembered that Li Xuan had said that these talisman seals were trash. They could be thrown away, given away, or burned.
Li Xuan had even said that the power of these talisman seals was too weak. They were all discarded talisman seals.
Li Xueer thought for a moment and said, “You can pay for them as you see fit. However, let me make it clear first. These talisman seals are all damaged, so their power is very weak.”
“It doesn’t matter. My goal is to study the drawing method of these talismans. The structure and drawing method of these talismans have been improved. They are simply unconstrained and unconstrained,” the refined middle-aged man said truthfully.
“Are you also a Spiritual Talisman Master?”Li Xue’er was surprised. She did not expect to meet a Spiritual Talisman Master here.
“I’m only at the Second Tier. However, these Spiritual Talismans gave me inspiration and allowed me to find the path to enter the Third Tier…”
“How about this, under normal circumstances, five Spiritual Talismans for one Spirit Stone, I’ll buy ten from you and give you ten Spirit Stones. The extra spirit stones can be considered as thanks to you guys for allowing me to find my way into theThird Tier”
The refined middle-aged man took out ten Spirit Stones from his pocket and smiled as he placed them on the counter.
“This…”
Li Xueer looked at the ten Spirit Stones and was extremely surprised. However, she was even more surprised that Spiritual Talismans could give the Spiritual Talisman Master inspiration.
Thinking of this, she immediately decided to raise the price of these Spiritual Talismans. She could not sell them cheaply anymore, and she could not throw them away or destroy them. At the same time, Li Xueer was also a little depressed
This was because from what the customer had said, this talisman clearly had quite a lot of value, but Li Xuan actually did not care about it. This made Li Xueer a little depressed.
Fortunately, the price the other party offered was not low. She happily accepted the Spirit Stones and completed the transaction.
Not long after, the refined middle-aged man left the shop, sat on a carriage, and walked out of the city toward the Imperial City. He wanted to meet his teacher, a true Spiritual Talisman Master.
Not long after he left, an old donkey carriage drove into the city from a distance. The donkey carriage had a shed, but there was a faint thick smell of blood coming from inside.
When they reached the city gate, the city guards who were originally lazily leaning against the gate could not help but look inside when they smelled the smell of blood. Their expressions immediately changed drastically.
In Li Xueer’s shop, Li Xueer sorted out the talismans in the big basket one by one. After tidying them up, she placed them on the counter. Soon, they formed stacks of talismans.
When she was almost done tidying up, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Immediately after, four to five city guards rushed into the shop.
“Boss, we’re buying talismans. The damaged ones,” the city guard who was leading the group said hurriedly.
“Ah? Damaged Spiritual Talismans? Are they these?” Li Xueer pointed at the Spiritual Talismans in her hand.
“They… should be these,” the city guard said uncertainly.
After the city guard finished saying this, a few burly men quickly ran into the shop and hurriedly shouted, “We’re buying Spiritual Talismans, the damaged ones.”
“We’re buying them too, the damaged ones.”
Another group of people rushed into the shop. The shop was filled with people, and everyone was clamoring to buy Spiritual Talismans. Seeing so many people buying Spiritual Talismans, Li Xueer finally realized that something was wrong. She immediately protected those spirit talismans and said warily. “Why are you buying damaged Spiritual Talismans?”
“This…”
When the people heard this, they were silent, as if they were unwilling to say the reason. At the same time, they also looked at the door worriedly, as if they were worried that someone would come over.
At the same time, the smell of blood came from outside the door, and a donkey cart stopped at the entrance of the shop.
Seeing the donkey cart arrive, disappointment flashed across everyone’s faces. They knew that they could not buy it in advance, so they could only shake their heads helplessly and leave.
“Benefactor, benefactor, we want to sell the corpses of Demonic Beasts. They are very powerful demonic beast corpses.”
The crisp voice of a child sounded.
Very soon, a few children and a crippled middle-aged man carried a blood-covered Wolf Demon out of the donkey cart and tried their best to carry it into the shop. These children and the middle-aged man were very weak. They had not even reached Black Iron Rank.
However, the Wolf Demon they were carrying was actually a Bronze Rank Wolf Demon. Moreover, it was a Mid-Level Bronze Rank Wolf Demon.
Such a powerful Wolf Demon was not something that these people could get. This instantly caused Li Xueer to frown.
“Benefactor, your Spiritual Talismans are too powerful. They killed the Wolf Demon in an instant. They are too powerful. I want to continue buying Spiritual Talismans.”
The dark-skinned child hurriedly said. He did not have any intention of hiding it. Instead, he laughed foolishly and scratched his head.
“Spiritual Talismans? Are you saying that the Wolf Demon was killed by a damaged Spiritual Talisman?” Li Xueer’s expression completely changed. She looked at the dark-skinned child in disbelief.
“Yes, we went to the forest to kill the Demon Rabbits. In the end, the Wolf Demon suddenly appeared and wanted to kill us…”
“In our despair, we threw out the ten damaged talismans. In the end, the Wolf Demon was killed in an instant. Even we were sent flying by the shockwave…”
“Fortunately, we were lucky and only suffered exterior injuries. However, these talismans are really too powerful. Their power is too terrifying…”
“They’re such good talismans, but why did you say that their power is low?”.
The dark-skinned child explained and looked at Li Xueer with some puzzlement.
“I…”
Li Xueer was dumbfounded and stood still in a daze.
She never expected that the power of these talismans would be so strong. Ten Talismans had actually killed the Mid-Level Bronze Rank Wolf Demon.
One had to know that when she went to see Li Xuan, Li Xuan had a look of disdain on his face. He asked her to take away these damaged talismans as if they were garbage. However, she did not expect that the damaged talismans were actually so terrifying. This simply overturned Li Xueer’s understanding.
“Could it be that such a terrifying talisman is trash in Lord Li Xuan’s eyes?”
Li Xue’er said in a daze. She really did not want to believe such a fact.
“Benefactor, can we still buy the Spiritual Talismans?” The dark-skinned child asked nervously. He was actually quite worried. After all, such a high-value talisman was definitely very expensive.
If it was someone else, they would definitely hide the truth and continue buying the Spiritual Talismans at a low price. However, the dark-skinned child had a kind heart. He believed that the Spiritual Talismans had saved their lives, so he was willing to tell them everything
“You guys wait first. I’ll go out first.”
After Li Xueer finished speaking, she took all the Spiritual Talismans that she had tidied up and hurriedly ran out of the shop. She went straight to Li Xuan’s small courtyard next door.
She had to confirm again why Li Xuan treated such a high-value item as trash.
She ran so fast that she did not even have time to knock on the door. She rushed straight to the study room where Li Xuan was, and then she was stunned again.
It was because she saw a pile of broken Spiritual Talismans thrown on the ground. Most importantly, she saw Li Xuan tearing up the spirit talismans in his hand and throwing them on the ground as trash.
Seeing this scene, Li Xueer was dumbfounded again and hurriedly ran to stop him.
