Chapter 41 (1/2)

The other two lazy-looking and dejected shop assistants inside the shop suddenly came to life. They quickly walked over with light footsteps.

Rong Kaixuan’s heart skipped a beat. He instantly felt a very powerful aura coming from these shop assistants.

This was an aura that Martial Artists had. Even though the other party had quickly kept it away after unleashing it and it was almost impossible to detect, Rong Kaixuan had the heart of a Martial Artist. As long as the other party unleashed even just a little bit, he could detect it at once.

Rong Jielin had talked so much about the heart of a Martial Artist, so there was something unusual about it. Sensing the aura from powerful Martial Artists was only one of its basic functions.

He looked in surprise at these three rather ordinary-looking shop assistants and seemed to have a deeper understanding of how powerful Donghua Treasure Hall was.

They were just shop assistants, but all three of them were way higher in cultivation level as Martial Artists compared to himself.

Three pairs of eyes stared hard at the talisman. After a while, they all looked up. They now looked at Rong Kaixuan differently from before.

Rong Kaixuan coughed quietly and asked, “Gentlemen, is there something wrong with this particular talisman?”

The three of them shook their heads at the same time. One of them asked, “Young man, where did you get this talisman from?”

Rong Kaixuan frowned slightly and replied, “Do you need to know where my items come from when you buy them from me?”

The man quickly replied, “According to the rules, we should not ask about where the items come from. But anyone who can create Supreme Level Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talismans must be a very powerful Spirit Gatherer.” He laughed bitterly and asked, “If this talisman was created by an elder in your family and it was given to you to protect you, how could we take it from you?”

Rong Kaixuan was a little surprised by this reason. “There’s such a rule?”

The man nodded gravely. “We swear by the name of Donghua Treasure Hall that none of us would dare lie to you.”

Spiritualists were the most powerful existence in this world.

Anyone who was able to create a Supreme Level talisman was one of the best among Spirit Gatherers, so the shop assistants weren’t willing to offend a Spirit Gatherer over one talisman.

That wouldn’t be worth it.

Rong Kaixuan nodded his head slowly and said, “I created this talisman myself.”

There was no point in hiding this fact. Besides, if his plan worked out, he would be coming back here for a long time to come. Since the other party would find out sooner or later, it didn’t make sense to try so hard to hide this fact.

The three shop assistants’ eyes instantly lit up at the same time. After looking at how young Rong Kaixuan was, they also had some suspicions in their eyes.

Rong Kaixuan’s face fell a little. “Since three of you don’t believe me, I’ll take my leave.”

The three of them quickly waved their hands and said, “Sir, please don’t go.”

“Sir, please hear us out.”

The shop assistant who seemed to be the leader among them smiled awkwardly and said, “Sir, it’s not that we don’t believe you. According to our rules, if a Spirit Gatherer walks into the shop, we are not qualified to serve you.”

Rong Kaixuan was annoyed at how these fellows changed their attitude very quickly depending on who they were talking to.

At first, they couldn’t be bothered with him. When he took out a Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talisman, they suddenly became friendly. Now that they knew he was a Spirit Gatherer, they even called him “Sir” now.

Even though Rong Kaixuan started to despise these hypocritical shop assistants, he had to admit that he was still fairly excited deep inside.

He scoffed quietly and said, “I’ve come here to sell this talisman, so I don’t care who serves me as long as I am offered a suitable price for this.”

“Sure, sure.” The shop assistant responded quickly and said, “Sir, please take a seat, I’ll be right back.”

He turned and left. The other two shop assistants immediately showed him to a seat, poured him tea, and offered him water to wash his face and wipe his hands.

Rong Kaixuan picked up the teacup and took a sip as if he knew how to appreciate tea.

He imitated the way Rong Jiexuan drank tea and looked the part. Once the tea entered his mouth, he didn’t feel anything besides the faint fragrance of the tea.

He couldn’t understand. Every time he saw Elder Jiexuan drink tea, he always looked like the tea was delicious. Why couldn’t he enjoy the tea the same way?

After a few moments, the assistant came running back. A man around 30 years of age followed behind him.

This man had a smooth and fair face and a friendly smile on his face. This smile seemed to carry a mysterious sort of power. Anyone who saw him would find him likable and lower their guard.

The man looked at Rong Kaixuan seriously and said with a smile. “So, I heard that a Spirit Gatherer has come into the shop to sell a Supreme Grade Spirit Body Fighter Sealing Talisman.” He paused and clasped his fists before politely saying, “I have come running out as quickly as possible, but I really didn’t expect you to be so young. I apologize for my rudeness.”

Rong Kaixuan’s face turned slightly red. “You’re being too polite.”

The man shook his head and said, “My name is Ye Jianhao, one of the managers at Donghua Treasure Hall. May I have your name?”

Rong Kaixuan replied in a low voice, “My name is Rong Kaixuan.”

“Rong…” Ye Jianhao thought for a moment and said, “There’s only one family with the surname Rong in this county.”

Rong Kaixuan nodded gravely. “That’s right, I’m from that Rong family.”

Ye Jianhao’s eyes lit up. “From what I know, the Hall of Spiritualists in the Rong house has no Spirit Gatherer.”

Rong Kaixuan had a proud smile on his face. “There wasn’t any before me, but now there will be.”

Ye Jianhao was taken aback by this response. He hit himself on the head and laughed awkwardly. “That’s right, that’s right.” He turned to look at the talisman that was on the counter.
