Chapter 30 - Kill a Cultivator at Foundation Establishment (1/2)

Facing all the sneer, the young man’s face reddened, and he looked at Shiao Chen fearfully. If not that he got stuck in cultivation and couldn’t make any breakthroughs for a long time, how dared he to act like this.

“Senior, that was just my wishful thinking. How could it be possible for you to want this kind of low-grade talisman. I will leave right now.”

“Wait,” said Shiao Chen, who gave him a glance and added, “Leave the one hundred Fireball Talismans behind and take two pills from the bottle.”

These words silenced all and then the market was in an uproar.

That young man was full of joy and excitement. He put down that one hundred talismans without hesitation, prudently took two Spirit-refining Pills from the jade bottle and left with heartfelt delight.

Since even the trashy Fireball Talisman worked for the exchange, plus one successful case, elixirs sold like hot cakes.

“Senior, I also have tens of Fireball Talismans and more than ten Earth Ripping Talismans, Body-binding Talismans and Diamond Talismans. I want to exchange for three Small-restoration Pills.”

“Senior, I have talismans including Kui Water Gold Needle Talismans, Explosive Fire Talismans and Swamp Talismans. And I hope to exchange for two Spirit-gathering Pills and one serving of Top Blood Jasper Cream.”

After over one hour, the elixirs on Shiao Chen’s booth almost lessened by half, but the talismans in his storage bag added up to over one thousand, which made him very satisfied.

One lowest grade Fireball Talisman could only attack with the power of the third level of Qi Refining, but what if one hundred of them were used at the same time? Even cultivators of Foundation Establishment, if hit, would be badly wounded if not dead. If used well, it could save his life.

“Ahem!”

A hum was heard among the crowd, which overawed all present with mighty spirit power and divine sense. Then the market was like being pressed the mute button, so quiet that even the sound of a falling needle could be heard. A path appeared among the crowed and an insidious man over 30 years old, wearing black clothes, came in big strides. Standing in front of Shiao Chen’s booth, he looked at the elixirs displayed with fervency.

A cultivator at Foundation Establishment!

Shiao Chen panicked inwardly but instantly clamed himself down. Although he failed to establish foundation, his power was fully reinforced and rather pure. In fights, he was not necessarily weaker than cultivators at the preliminary stage of Foundation Establishment.

“Senior, do you want to exchange for some elixirs?” Shiao Chen asked modestly with hands folded.

The man in black hesitated for a while and said slowly, “I have talismans that those small potatoes have definitely no access to.” With some complacency flashing through his faces, the man in black took out a blood-red talisman, which seemed like burning, from his storage bag. Judging from the dense and complicated patterns, it was surely quite extraordinary.

“Fire Explosive Talisman. Once spirit power is infused in it, explosion surely happens. Its attacking power equals to that of a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Foundation Establishment. How much would you pay for it?”

Eagerness appeared in Shiao Chen’s eyes. Fire Explosive Talisman was classified as second grade talisman with fairly strong attacking power. With it, he would have one more means to keep himself safe.

“Three Soul-nourishing Pills.” Pondering for a while, Shiao Chen took out three pills from his storage bag. Their rich fragrance suddenly spread out, which indicated clearly that their grade was much higher than those on the booth.

The Soul-nourishing Pill could help improve the cultivation of cultivators at Foundation Establishment, which made the people around look more covetous.

Mania also flashed through the eyes of this man in black and without hesitation he said, “Deal!” After carefully taking over the three Soul-nourishing Pills from Shiao Chen, the man hesitated for a while and continued, “I also have one high-grade Water Needle Talisman, which, once used, can release thousands of water needles. With it, you can even hold back a cultivator at the middle stage of Foundations Establishment.”

“I will exchange for it!” Shiao Chen said promptly. However, since the man had already gotten some Soul-nourishing Pills, Shiao Chen, with some thought, took out five Soul-replenishing Pills and handed them to the man in black.

“Sense-restoring Pills!” The man in black clearly knew a lot about elixirs. Looking really joyful, he checked prudently, nodded to give consent to the deal and then put the high-grade Water Needle Talisman onto Shiao Chen’s hand.

Shiao Chen checked carefully, And, after making sure nothing went wrong, he nodded with satisfaction and put it into his storage bag.

“Senior, do you have any other talismans to exchange? I will surely give you reasonable prices.” Shiao Chen looked at the man in black quite fervently.

The man hesitated for a while and shook his head.

Right at this moment, Shiao Chen put on a trace of properly managed disappointment in his eyes. This was seen by the man, who smiled coldly in the heart and walked away in big strides.

After another 15 minutes, Shiao Chen got two hundred more talismans, waved his hand and announced, “So much for today and off you go.”
