“You, don’t know me?” Qiao Mu sized him up and then commented expressionlessly, “You’ve fattened up quite a bit in these few years.”
The Daoist priest was bewildered.
He looked at Qiao Mu closely before responding with a shake of his head, “This poor Daoist does not know you.”
“Do you still remember Little Fatty Zhou from Qiaotou Village?”
“I order all the evil monsters in the vicinity to disperse and the evil spirits to quickly surrender!” Qiao Mu extended two fingers and expressionlessly waved them about, treating them as the peach-wood sword.
The Daoist priest immediately widened his eyes in disbelief!
“You, you! You!”
“The demons here are truly too ferocious. Little child, you better hurry and run! This poor Daoist won’t take that 100 taels of silver!” Qiao Mu continued to deadpan.
On the other hand, the Daoist priest jumped up at once. “You are from Qiaotou Village.”
Qiao Mu swept him a glance. “I didn’t expect a posturing fake…”
The Daoist priest rapidly lunged over to cover Qiao Mu’s mouth, but she dodged.
After this, the Daoist priest smiled at her embarrassedly. “Oh my, my. Young friend, it is a happy occasion to encounter an old acquaintance in foreign land. How about this, allow this poor Daoist to treat you to a meal in a restaurant today.”
Qiao Mu could not help but find it funny. She remembered that even though this Daoist kept trying to be mystifying in Qiaotou Village, he hadn’t harmed anyone. So she would just leave it at that.
Qiao Mu shook her head and said, “I won’t bother you from doing business.”
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a middle-aged couple walking out from the talisman shop. She then circled around the Daoist priest toward the inside of the talisman shop.
She had specially come today to find out how talisman prices fared in the Six Prefectures.
The next time she was short on spirit currency, she could also draw talismans to earn money.
“These two ladies, this way please.” Seeing that Qiao Mu was not dressed in ordinary clothes, the shop assistant quickly welcomed them with a smile and led them toward the inside.
“What kind of talisman do you intend to buy? This humble shop has just received a small batch of fire spirit talismans recently. Fire spirits are powerful and can serve as defense and ward off danger. Are you interested?”
“Oh? How much are you selling this fire spirit talisman for?” Qiao Mu asked curiously.
“For this batch of mid-rank fire spirit talismans, the price has been fixed at one thousand spirit currency each.”
“Wow.” One thousand spirit currency! Qi Xuanxuan gaped.
“Then how about immobilization talismans and protective talismans?”
“Mid-rank protective talismans cost fifty spirit currency each. As for immobilization talismans, they are one hundred spirit currency each.”
“Oh.”
“This humble shop does honest business. This is basically the current market price. If this batch of fire spirit talismans was to be put on auction, the selling price would be even higher. It might even reach 1100 or 1200.”
Qiao Mu nodded her petite head, and then a high-rank blue fire spirit talisman appeared in her palm with a flip of her hand. “How much can this sell for?”
The shop assistant’s eyes immediately bulged out. He stepped backwards and said with a respectful bow, “Could it be that this lady is a talisman practitioner? You did not come today to purchase talismans but to sell them?”
“Mhm.” Qiao Mu grunted noncommittally.
“Please wait, this lady. I will immediately request for our talisman appraiser to come.”
After saying this, he dashed off to find the talisman appraiser.
Qiao Mu turned around to see Qi Xuanxuan goggling at her with round eyes.
“You are a talisman practitioner?”
“Mhm, what’s up?”
Heavens! What was with her composed expression? They had talked for so long yesterday about the deed of that powerful talisman practitioner, yet she was totally unperturbed.
