Chapter 404 - Chapter 404: Chapter 396 Earth Escape Talisman_1 (2/2)

Timid people probably wouldn’t dare to carry it on their person at all.

After looking over all five boxes, Qin Niu felt uneasy in his heart.

Are these five Advanced Talismans really reliable?

Bei Bing is certainly trustworthy, her recommended shops should be more or less the same.

The last time her grandfather recommended a grocery store, it was very dependable.

“Fine, I’ll take all five.”

Qin Niu gritted his teeth and spent six hundred taels of Silver Money to buy all the talismans.

“Do you have any other special talismans here besides Advanced Contract Talismans, like an Invisibility Talisman?”

He had fallen deeply in love with special talismans after using an Invisibility Talisman once.

Having one could save his life at a critical moment.

“Hmph, it was Old Bei who referred you here, wasn’t it? Only Old Bei can make Invisibility Talismans, and I bet he hasn’t fully mastered it yet.”

The middle-aged man mentioned Old Bei, which must be Bei Bing’s grandfather.

“Okay then, I’ll come back if I need anything else, goodbye.”

Without saying much more, Qin Niu carefully tucked the talismans close to his body and left the Dark Talisman Language Shop.

“An Earth Escape Talisman for one thousand taels of Silver Money each, want one?”

The middle-aged man called out to his departing figure.

“Yes.”

Qin Niu, upon hearing that an Earth Escape Talisman was available for just one thousand taels each, agreed without a second thought.

When it came to buying farmland worth nine taels per acre, he always hesitated.

But now, to buy an Earth Escape Talisman for a thousand taels each, he was exceptionally swift.

Not everyone could understand this kind of spending mindset.

“Wait a moment!”

The middle-aged man went inside and brought out a yellow wooden box.

It was about three inches long and two inches wide.

“Here’s the talisman. Once activated, it will give you a temporary ability to escape through the earth, allowing you to instantly travel up to five miles away. However, be careful to avoid rocky terrain, as it only works through soil. If you encounter rock, it won’t be effective.”

The middle-aged man briefly explained the talisman’s function.

“That’s already very powerful. Here’s a thousand taels of Silver Money.”

Qin Niu didn’t blink an eye as he threw down the money.

What if he was being swindled?

Unless this Talisman shop didn’t want to stay in business anymore, with his current abilities, he could easily shut down the small shop.

“Don’t breathe while using the talisman, keep your eyes closed, and hold your breath.”

“Alright, thank you for the advice, boss.”

Qin Niu had never used an Earth Escape Talisman, but after buying it, he kept it close. He planned to use it only if his life was in danger.

It’s best not to have to use such lifesaving items at all.

Upon leaving the Cultivation Market, he saw that many shops on the main street were displaying signs for sale at reduced prices.

But the price decreases weren’t significant, barely less than twenty percent.

If he waited patiently a while longer, the prices in the shops might drop to their lowest.

Qin Niu only bought clothes and shoes for his three maidservants before returning home.

This trip to the city was mainly to purchase Contractual Talismans.

There wasn’t anything particularly high-class to buy in Black Tiger City itself.

However, the black market was an exception.

Sometimes some rather good special items would appear there.

He had considered taking a demon feather to the black market to probe it, but ultimately decided the risk was too great and gave up decisively.

…

Once home, distributing the clothes and shoes to the maidservants went without saying.

The next day, Qin Niu, his wives, concubines, and Xiao Qing went to the mountain to practice cultivation together.

Only rainy days prevented them from cultivating in the mountains.

After it had rained for two consecutive days, they rested at home as well.

Qin Niu, however, was hoping for a heavy rain.

He could use it as an opportunity to head to the cave in the mountains and try to obtain the Fire Lotus.
