Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 82: Beast Calamity
"Junior Brother Chu, did you bring Basic Middle Grade Talismans?" Gu Xiaoqing asked, a bit surprised.
At this moment, Shen Zhengquan, Luo Yiping, and Lu Miaoying also opened their shop doors nearby.
Hearing Gu Xiaoqing’s words, several people simultaneously turned their gaze over.
Chu Ning, having clearly heard Gu Xiaoqing mention ’brought,’ didn’t refute and simply replied in agreement:
"I prepared a few."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yiping, who originally intended to watch Chu Ning make a fool of himself today, slightly widened his mouth.
"Could this guy be the biological son of a steward from the Spirit Talisman Pavilion?
Even high-quality Basic Middle Grade Talismans, they’ve prepared so many for him?"
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, a gentle smile appeared on Gu Xiaoqing’s face.
"I initially wanted to remind Junior Brother Chu; I heard that the one responsible for selling Talismans in this Wind Canyon Market is a Tier Two Rune Master.
Turns out, Junior Brother was already prepared."
The girl wasn’t stunning, but her gentle and pleasant smile was quite captivating.
It drew side glances from Luo Yiping and Shen Zhengquan.
Before Chu Ning could reply, several figures rushed over, heading towards the shops, respectively.
"Shopkeeper, I want to buy talismans. Do you have..."
Standing in front of Chu Ning was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
As soon as he arrived in front of Chu Ning, he quickly spoke.
Then, seeing the signs hanging outside of Chu Ning’s shop, he immediately expressed his delight.
"You have Basic Middle Grade Talismans here? What kind of talismans do you have?"
Chu Ning, puzzled by this man’s anxious demeanor, responded:
"I have all kinds. You can take a look yourself."
As he spoke, Chu Ning pointed at the counter in front of him.
On it were various talismans and corresponding prices.
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes started reading aloud as he looked.
"Yin Thunder Talisman, Escape Talisman, Clear Wind Talisman, five Lower Grade Spirit Stones each, oh, and Beast Trapping Talisman..."
After a pause, the middle-aged man immediately shouted:
"Shopkeeper, give me twenty Beast Trapping Talismans, ten each of Yin Thunder Talismans, Vajra Talismans, and Earth Escape Talismans, Clear Wind Talismans.
Also, thirty each of Basic Lower Grade Talismans for attack and defense..."
Chu Ning was slightly taken aback, "So many?"
The middle-aged man immediately became anxious, "Shopkeeper, don’t you have that many?"
"Yes, of course I have!" Chu Ning replied promptly.
As he spoke, he began pulling out talismans from his Storage Bag.
While taking out the talismans, Chu Ning calculated.
"Thirty Flame Talismans, sixty Lower Grade Spirit Stones, thirty Earth Armor Talismans, ninety Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
Twenty Yin Thunder Talismans and Clear Wind Talismans together, one hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones, thirty Beast Trapping Talismans and Earth Escape Talismans together, one hundred eighty Spirit Stones, ten Vajra Talismans, seventy Spirit Stones.
Altogether, five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Such a large order, he had to consider a discount.
Just as Chu Ning contemplated reducing the price, the middle-aged man rapidly pulled out a pile of Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag, placing them in front of Chu Ning.
Then he grabbed the talismans and hurriedly left.
His demeanor suggested he was heading to Gu Xiaoqing’s shop to buy elixirs.
Chu Ning was slightly stunned.
"In such a rush?"
Curious about the man’s intentions at Gu Xiaoqing’s shop, Chu Ning saw another person arriving hastily from another direction.
"Shopkeeper, what talismans do you have..."
This time, it was a cultivator, about fifty years old, with a goatee.
While speaking, he carefully examined Chu Ning’s various price tags.
Then he pointed at several types of talismans and said:
"Ten each of Yin Thunder Talismans, Clear Wind Talismans, Earth Escape Talismans, fifteen Vajra Talismans, twenty Beast Trapping Talismans,
forty each of Flame Talismans and Profound Ice Talismans, thirty Rejuvenation Talismans, twenty Wood Escape Talismans."
As he spoke, the goateed elder started taking out Spirit Stones.
Having had a similar customer before, Chu Ning promptly helped this person retrieve the talismans.
Then quickly calculated the total.
"Twenty Yin Thunder Talismans and Clear Wind Talismans together, one hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones, fifteen Vajra Talismans, one hundred five Spirit Stones, thirty Earth Escape Talismans and Beast Trapping Talismans together, one hundred eighty Spirit Stones.
Eighty Flame Talismans and Profound Ice Talismans together, one hundred sixty Spirit Stones, thirty Rejuvenation Talismans, sixty Spirit Stones, twenty Wood Escape Talismans, sixty Spirit Stones.
Altogether, six hundred five Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
After calculating, Chu Ning promptly said:
"Let’s make it six hundred Spirit Stones."
The goateed elder also swiftly took out the Spirit Stones, placed them in front of Chu Ning, then picked up the talismans and left.
This left Chu Ning, who had intended to ask more, unable to speak further.
Something is not right!
Chu Ning’s brows furrowed slightly.
The two seemed to be from cultivation clans, yet even for a cultivation clan, it was unusual to buy so many talismans all at once.
And both families were purchasing large quantities simultaneously.
Moreover, they seemed not only to buy talismans but also elixirs and magical artifacts.
"Could something have happened?"
When a third person, a female cultivator around thirty-six or thirty-seven, appeared in front of Chu Ning, asking for two hundred talismans,
Chu Ning couldn’t hold back any longer. While fetching talismans, he asked:
"Fellow cultivator, what exactly is happening? Why are you all in such a hurry,
and buying so many talismans at once?"
The woman appeared more composed but also wore a solemn expression.
She sighed lightly and said, "It’s a beast disaster!"
"Beast disaster?" Chu Ning exclaimed with a hint of surprise.
It wasn’t his first time hearing the term.
