89: The Remaining Lines of the Nether Fire Sect

Of course, the guidance wouldn't be here. After greeting Talisman Master Li, Liu Xuan left with Qin Yun.

In the carriage, Liu Xuan held Qin Yun's hand. "Senior Sister Qin, are you willing to come with me to Yongning?"

"You should understand my feelings. As long as you come with me, I promise to guide you wholeheartedly in drawing Talismans, teaching you everything I know without holding anything back!"

Qin Yun's face flushed. She tried to pull her hand away several times but couldn't break free from Liu Xuan's grasp.

"I've already come out with you, and you're still asking!"

Her tone was soft and sweet, with a hint of shy anger, which made Liu Xuan's heart flutter.

It's done!

Liu Xuan was overjoyed to gain another good Dao Companion.

Liu Xuan had longed for Senior Sister Qin Yun for a long time, and now that his wish was granted, he became a bit carried away.

"Ah!"

Liu Xuan scooped her onto his lap, feeling a soft, smooth fullness through her thin dress.

Qin Yun was indeed beautiful, and the more he looked, the more beautiful she became. Even Liu Xuan's self-control couldn't hold out.

A fair lady is a good match for a gentleman; everyone appreciates beauty. Liu Xuan simply liked what everyone else liked, which was very normal... He was a young man in his twenties, full of vigor. If he didn't like beautiful women, that would be truly abnormal!

Right?

"Senior Sister, you smell so good!"

Liu Xuan hooked a strand of Qin Yun's hair and brought it to his nose, a faint floral scent wafted over.

"Nonsense!"

Qin Yun pushed herself up to tidy her clothes. "Let's go quickly, before someone discovers us!"

A Cleansing spell was cast, and the carriage was as clean as new, even the scent disappeared... Red Pine City.

Talisman Shop.

"Senior Sister Qin Yun, why are you here too?"

Seeing Liu Xuan and Qin Yun appear side-by-side, Yan Qingyao asked curiously.

"I..."

A hint of panic appeared on Qin Yun's face, as if a secret had been discovered.

Liu Xuan put his arm around Qin Yun's shoulder and chuckled, "Senior Sister Qin and I are kindred spirits. If all goes well, you two will be sisters in the future."

"Uh!"

Yan Qingyao was stunned!

Even Senior Sister Qin Yun... How many women would Liu Xuan need to be satisfied?

Qin Yun, however, was not at all surprised by Yan Qingyao's appearance. She had long been well aware of Liu Xuan's situation; she had even sent a gift when Liu Xuan's eldest son was born!

Yan Qingyao and Liu Xuan were from the same hometown, childhood sweethearts, so it was normal for Liu Xuan to have feelings.

Qin Yun pulled Liu Xuan's hand off her shoulder and came to Yan Qingyao's side, explaining with a smile:

"Junior Sister Yan, don't misunderstand, Revered Master just asked Liu Xuan to guide me in drawing Talismans."

Yan Qingyao didn't speak, but her expression showed that she didn't believe it at all.

Liu Xuan didn't waste any time. He summoned the Iron Feather Eagle, called Little Shadow, and flew towards Yongning... White Crane Lake.

Lake Heart Island courtyard.

"You all will stay here for now. Tomorrow, I'll take you to familiarize yourselves with the Merchant Alliance and see if there are any positions you like."

If Yan Qingyao and Qin Yun were willing to Cultivate peacefully, Liu Xuan could provide some resources. If they wanted to do something in the Merchant Alliance, Liu Xuan wouldn't refuse.

He didn't have many people he truly trusted in the current Merchant Alliance, so it would be best if both of them could join.

Life returned to tranquility. During the day, Liu Xuan Cultivated at White Crane Lake, while also guiding Qin Yun in drawing Talismans and handling Merchant Alliance affairs. In the evenings, he would return to the Liu Manor to attend to his unmarried maidservants.

Three days later.

Wang Xiaokang, the shopkeeper of Vast Gathering Pavilion, came to report that the ten ice blue soul-stabbing talismans put up for sale had been sold, and someone was inquiring about the source of the Talismans, wanting to continue purchasing.

"Did you ask about the buyer's identity? Are they local, or from an outside Sect?" Liu Xuan asked.

Wang Xiaokang thought for a moment. "The other party didn't reveal their identity. Their accent doesn't sound like an outsider, but such people are usually good at disguising themselves, so it's uncertain whether they are or not."

The Wang family now had a close relationship with Liu Xuan. Wang Yuwan had earned Liu Xuan's deep trust, Wang Chen was one of the Vice Alliance Leaders of the Merchant Alliance, and Wang Xiaokang had also been appointed as the shopkeeper of Vast Gathering Pavilion by Liu Xuan.

"Where is the person? Please invite him to see me!"

The ice blue soul-stabbing talisman commanded an extremely high price and was related to Liu Xuan's long-term income, so it had to be handled with caution.

"Yes!"

"The person is in the shop. I'll bring him over right away."

Wang Xiaokang immediately returned.

An hour later.

A sallow-faced middle-aged man followed Wang Xiaokang to the Lake Heart Island courtyard.

"Pavilion Revered Master, this is the person who purchased the ice blue soul-stabbing talisman," Wang Xiaokang introduced.

The man cupped his hands in greeting, "My name is Yu Lie, greetings, Talisman Master Liu!"

On the way, Wang Xiaokang had already told him that Liu Xuan was a First-Rank Mid-Grade Talisman Master.

"Please have a seat!"

Liu Xuan gestured towards a nearby seat. After Yu Lie sat down, he asked:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you are probably not from Yongning, are you? May I ask where you Cultivate?"

"I am a Disciple of the Three Poisons Ancestor of the Nether Fire Sect, and my elder brother is an elder of the Nether Fire Sect's Merchant Alliance."

Seeing Liu Xuan pondering in silence, he continued, "The Nether Fire Sect is not far from Yongning. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate at any time!"

The Nether Fire Sect was not a subordinate Sect of the Nascent Soul Sect Peach Blossom Sect, but a subordinate Sect of the Cloud Top Sect.

The Cloud Top Sect's territory also had many Yin souls and ghosts, just not as many as the Peach Blossom Sect.

Liu Xuan was concerned that they might not be able to consume so many ice blue soul-stabbing talismans, that the demand wouldn't be that high, and the price might be reduced.

"Fellow Daoist, you wish to purchase ice blue soul-stabbing talismans? How many do you want?" Liu Xuan asked.

Hearing Liu Xuan's tone, Yu Lie was startled!

The ice blue soul-stabbing talisman was extremely difficult to draw and hard to find on the market. Could Liu Xuan really sell them in large quantities?

"If the price is the same as before in the shop, I'll buy as many as you have!"

"Fellow Daoist is joking!"

Liu Xuan slowly shook his head. "On the Peach Blossom Sect's side, a single First-Rank Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talisman sells for between ten and twelve Spirit Stones, and they are basically out of stock. Of course, it's impossible to sell them in large quantities at the previous price."

"Then how many Spirit Stones do you want?" Yu Lie asked with a frown.

"Ten!"

"Ten Spirit Stones per Talisman, and I can sell you two hundred Talismans each month."

Yu Lie suddenly stood up, unable to contain his Middle Stage of Qi Refining aura, and asked urgently, "You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Two hundred Talismans! A total value of two thousand Spirit Stones. The ice blue soul-stabbing talisman sold extremely well, even fetching fourteen or fifteen Spirit Stones each at some auctions. If this truly worked out, it would mean earning two to three hundred Spirit Stones every month.

"Naturally, I wouldn't trick you, but I have one condition: you cannot reveal that you sourced the goods from me, otherwise the transaction will cease."

"Understood!"

Yu Lie agreed immediately!

He thought Liu Xuan's goods were obtained through illicit means, and since he also wanted to make a fortune quietly, he certainly wouldn't expose the source to competitors.

The two found common ground and quickly reached a cooperation agreement.

Liu Xuan could draw nearly three hundred Talismans each month and had accumulated around four hundred in hand. He had originally planned to sell two hundred this time, but Yu Lie didn't bring that many Spirit Stones, so they could only agree to complete the transaction two days later.

If the ice blue soul-stabbing talisman venture went smoothly, Liu Xuan would be financially free for a long time to come.

With Liu Xuan's current status, coupled with a large number of Spirit Stones, he wouldn't exactly be able to do whatever he wanted in the Yongning territory, but acting recklessly would certainly not be a problem...
