252: Chapter 252 Ready to Go
After tidying everything up, Yun Chenfei was just about to leave and head toward the vicinity of the Old An Family Residence.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
"Shopkeeper, is the Shopkeeper in?"
Just then, a series of knocks suddenly came from outside the door, followed by a slightly hoarse inquiry.
Frowning slightly, Yun Chenfei went forward to open the shop door.
He saw a robust, middle-aged man with a full beard and grey robes standing straight outside the door.
"Shopkeeper, what time is it? Why haven't you opened for business yet?"
Seeing the shop door opened, the middle-aged man complained.
"The Shopkeeper is out on business. Please come back another day, Fellow Daoist."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Chenfei prepared to close the door.
"I was wondering, how could a Great Master capable of drawing Talismans be a mere youth who hasn't even grown full hair!"
"Assistant, since the Shopkeeper isn't here, you'll do. I'm just here to buy a few Talismans."
Seeing Yun Chenfei about to close the door, the middle-aged man spoke up hastily.
Hearing that he wasn't an acquaintance of the old man, but a customer looking to buy Talismans, Yun Chenfei let the middle-aged man into the shop to avoid attracting unwanted attention.
"Assistant, give me a few of the best concealment-type Spirit Talismans you have in the shop."
Before he even finished speaking, the middle-aged man shoved a handful of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to Yun Chenfei.
"This scene feels familiar!"
"Why is it so similar to when that guy bought invisibility talismans from me? It's just that he's too stingy, giving so few Spirit Stones."
"Could this guy be the eighth-grade Spirit Condensation Realm Cultivator who snuck into the Old An Family Residence?"
Examining the middle-aged man in front of him with interest, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.
"Fellow Daoist, our Shopkeeper has given instructions..."
Before Yun Chenfei could finish, the middle-aged man directly handed the Storage Pouch in his hand to Yun Chenfei.
"Young man, I am in urgent need of various high-grade Talismans, especially high-grade concealment-type ones. I've run all over Xingan Prefecture and haven't been able to buy any."
"Anyway, your Shopkeeper isn't here, so just sell me a few secretly. You can keep the remaining Spirit Stones!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chenfei was basically certain that the simple-minded fellow with well-developed limbs in front of him.
Was more than likely the unlucky guy who snuck into the Old An Family Residence and was subsequently drained of his essence blood by Ye Lingfeng.
He then activated the System's scanning function.

Current Status: Spirit Body Major Achievement, slight reputation, above-average talent, robust blood and Qi, some Opportunities, impending bloody disaster.
Recent Situation: Impending bloody disaster. Eight hours later, relying on an invisibility talisman and Earth Evasion Technique, he will sneak into the Old An Family Residence to look for a secret technique that can increase Bloodline Power, accidentally get discovered by the Second Elder of the Ye family, and subsequently be brutally killed by him.
Character Profile: "nine emperors of the desolate ancient era" supporting character Song Jinqiao, a first-rank Loose Cultivator. Seventy years ago, he accidentally obtained an Earth Spirit fruit. After refining it, he Awakened the Acquired Earth Spirit Physique. When he Cultivated to the eighth-grade Spirit Condensation Realm, he was drained of all his essence blood and died by a Hedao Realm expert while searching for a Heaven-Defying secret technique.
"It really is that cannon fodder."
Checking the Storage Pouch in his hand, Yun Chenfei found that it actually contained twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
These Spirit Stones were enough to make any working assistant go crazy.
Even after deducting the price of the Xuan-grade high-grade Talismans, there would still be plenty of Spirit Stones left.
"The Shopkeeper left five invisibility talismans before he left. Giving him one wouldn't hurt. I might as well use him as a guinea pig to see if he can bypass Ye Lingfeng's Divine Sense."
"By the way, give him some attack and defense Talismans, hmm~ and add a Godspeed Talisman. Even if he gets discovered, it can help me buy a little more time."
After checking the Storage Pouch, Yun Chenfei thought to himself.
"Customer, please wait a moment. I will prepare the best Talismans in the shop for you right now!"
Then he hurriedly put on a very greedy expression and walked toward the counter.
"Finally, there's a shop willing to sell concealment-type Talismans."
Seeing this, Song Jinqiao also let out a long sigh of relief.
A moment later, Yun Chenfei handed Song Jinqiao five attack-type Talismans, five defense-type Talismans, one Godspeed Talisman, and one invisibility talisman.
"Customer, these are the last few Xuan-grade high-grade Talismans in our shop."
"The reason the Shopkeeper went out at this time is to go to Fengming City to buy Talisman-making Materials."
Seeing that the Talismans Yun Chenfei handed over included a Xuan-grade high-grade invisibility talisman, Song Jinqiao was very satisfied and then turned to leave.
Watching Song Jinqiao's retreating back, a wicked smile gradually appeared on the corner of Yun Chenfei's mouth.
"Eight hours later, huh? That would be the Yin hour (3-5 AM)."
"He's not too stupid, knowing to choose three or four in the morning, the time when people are most prone to drowsiness, to take action."
After Song Jinqiao's figure completely disappeared into the crowd, Yun Chenfei closed the shop door.
Anyway, there were still eight hours left, so Yun Chenfei wouldn't be stupid enough to follow Song Jinqiao around right now.
If it weren't for the fact that Yun Chenfei had chanced upon leasing this shop, he would have had to wait near the Old An Family Residence early just to know the exact time of Song Jinqiao's operation.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon three o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Yun Chenfei activated an invisibility talisman and quietly left the shop, heading toward the vicinity of the Old An Family Residence.
Fearing that the invisibility talisman might not be secure enough, he even specially wrapped the Nine Heavens Thunder Flame around his body to isolate the leakage of his own aura.
A moment later, Yun Chenfei arrived near the Old An Family Residence.
"System, turn on the automatic treasure hunting function, and specify searching for the Savage Blood Demonic Scripture!"
Just after arriving near the Old An Family Residence, Yun Chenfei turned on the System's automatic treasure hunting function.
He didn't know where the Savage Blood Demonic Scripture was, and rather than wandering around like a headless chicken, it was better to just use three thousand destiny value for precise positioning.
"Ding! Specified treasure hunting function enabled, deducting 3000 points of destiny value."
At this moment, the treasure hunting dotted line provided by the System gradually appeared before Yun Chenfei's eyes.
After confirming the hiding place of the Savage Blood Demonic Scripture, Yun Chenfei condensed Purple Heavenly Thunder into his eyes and scanned around.
Soon, he saw a ball of blue light in the Void Realm more than three hundred meters away.
Without a doubt, the location of this blue light was Ye Lingfeng's hiding place.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the cannon fodder, Song Jinqiao.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yun Chenfei saw a blob of purple light underground, slowly approaching the Old An Family Residence.
"Cannon fodder is in position!"
After waiting for Song Jinqiao to safely enter the Old An Family Residence, Yun Chenfei looked toward Ye Lingfeng's direction.
Seeing that the blue light had no abnormal movement, it was clear that Ye Lingfeng had not yet discovered Song Jinqiao.
