Chapter 333: Black Talisman

In the room.

Qin Ming then examined several other Information Jade Slips of different levels.

It must be said that the Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion’s intelligence-gathering ability is indeed somewhat skilled.

“Just these few.”

Qin Ming selected a few pieces of information that interested him, and didn’t get too many at once, which completely fit his current identity as a Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

To avoid showing off too much wealth and causing unnecessary suspicion.

Shopkeeper Wei initially thought that the foreign cultivator in front of him might not have a high level of consumption.

After all, very few cultivators are willing to spend a lot of money on high-grade intelligence.

He didn’t expect the other party to buy several at once, which made him think highly of Qin Ming.

Shopkeeper Wei’s face, which was usually composed, finally showed a smile and said, “Three copies of First Grade intelligence, and one copy each of Second, Third, and Fourth Grade intelligence. The total is two thousand six hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Considering that Fellow Daoist is buying a large number of intelligence items at once, I can decide to give you an additional copy each of Third Grade and Fourth Grade intelligence.”

“If Fellow Daoist needs anything in the future, please come to This Shop, and I will definitely make you satisfied.”

As an old hand who has been in business here for many years, Shopkeeper Wei also knew how to handle things.

Qin Ming took out the full amount of Spirit Stones and delivered them to Shopkeeper Wei, then put away the Jade Slips.

The transaction is over.

Qin Ming left the Shop.

……

Next, he followed the instructions on the map and came to the Mirror Snow Pavilion in Lingxu Marketplace.

It was still the iconic nine-story building, simple and elegant.

This Shop, as a branch of Mirror Snow Pavilion in Great Jin, also sent some resident cultivators to maintain operations and manage the Shop.

The identity Gu Qingzhao arranged for Qin Ming was that of the new shopkeeper.

Qin Ming stepped into the Shop and was immediately greeted by an Attendant.

“Senior, welcome to This Shop. This Shop has all kinds of Cultivation Resources. What do you need?”

“Call the Person in Charge out.” Qin Ming said with an undeniable tone.

The Attendant was stunned, but he did not dare to defy the meaning of this Foundation Establishment Senior in front of him.

After a moment.

An Old Man in a brown robe came down from Upstairs, with Early Foundation Establishment cultivation, a lean face, and a short beard.

“I am Jia Heyi, I don’t know what the Fellow Daoist wants from me?”

“Please come Upstairs for a detailed discussion.”

“I am sent by Pavilion Master Gu.” Qin Ming said straightforwardly, then handed the Identity Plate and letter to the other party.

Jia Heyi took the items and checked them, then immediately bowed and paid Respects to Qin Ming: “I have seen Shopkeeper Lu!”

Then, he gathered all the Subordinates in Mirror Snow Pavilion.

“This is the new Shopkeeper, Shopkeeper Lu, sent by the Pavilion Master. You should quickly come and Pay Respects.”

“In the future, all matters in the pavilion will be decided by Shopkeeper Lu.”

There were a total of twenty or thirty people in the Shop, standing in the Courtyard, and they all respectfully performed a Great Ceremony to Qin Ming.

“Pay Respects to Shopkeeper Lu!”

Qin Ming, with a blank expression, waved his hand in a calm manner and said faintly: “No need for courtesy.”

“You all go and be busy.”

Then, he said to Jia Heyi: “Old Jia, you come with the Account Book.”

Jia Heyi immediately responded.

……

After Half an Incense Stick.

In a Private Room on the fourth floor of Mirror Snow Pavilion, Qin Ming sipped Spirit Tea and pretended to flip through the Account Book.

Through a brief conversation with Jia Heyi, he also roughly understood the current situation of Mirror Snow Pavilion.

Not to mention the scope of Great Jin, even in Lingxu Marketplace, it only belongs to the bottom-tier Merchant Guilds and is not ranked.

Compared to large Merchant Guilds like Thousand Mechanisms Pavilion, which has the Background of Li Fire Palace, the Gap is even more obvious.

Currently, the Development of Mirror Snow Pavilion in Lingxu Marketplace is still quite within norms.

Besides the Restaurant business, the business of selling Cultivation Resources is still going on, but because it is a foreign Power, the Advantage of procuring resources is far less than that of the Local Merchant Guilds.

Of course, Qin Ming’s main Purpose for coming here was not to manage the Shop, so he cleared his throat and said to Jia Heyi with a Meaningful tone: “Old Jia! I am here only to temporarily act as the Shopkeeper.”

“I am unfamiliar with this place, so the specific affairs of the Shop will still be handled by you as usual.”

？？？

“I have looked at the revenue in recent years, and you are quite capable, and you handle things very well!”

As soon as he said this, even the cautious Jia Heyi was stunned.

In his shrewdness, an Idea immediately popped up: ‘This newly appointed Shopkeeper Lu, wouldn’t they want to go fishing and enforce the law?’

‘How can there be someone who becomes a Hands-off Shopkeeper right away?’

Jia Heyi gave a Dry Laugh, and respectfully poured tea for Qin Ming, “Shopkeeper Lu, please rest assured, with me helping you keep an eye on things, I will definitely Report to you if anything happens!”

“Well, good.” Qin Ming nodded and showed a Satisfied Expression.

Then, he chatted with the other party for a while and roughly understood the specific situation within Lingxu Marketplace.

“By the way, are there any large Trade Fairs to be held recently?” Qin Ming suddenly asked.

Jia Heyi pondered for a moment upon hearing this and replied, “Now that you mention it, I really remember something.”

“It is said that the ‘Five Blessings Auction House’ of Myriad Dao Merchant Alliance, located in Five Elements Mountain, will hold a large Auction after three months, but only the major Merchant Guilds under it have the Quota to enter.”

“If not, a Golden Core Stage Cultivation is required to participate in the Auction.”

Qin Ming asked this way because he wanted to take this Opportunity to dispose of those Demon Cultivator’s Items, as they were useless to him anyway.

In addition, he could also Collect some Spirit Material Pill Recipes, such as the High-Grade Pill Recipe refined from the Green-Faced Poison Dragon Beast Core.

The conversation was almost over, so Qin Ming let Jia Heyi Leave.

‘Shopkeeper Lu’, as the new Shopkeeper appointed by Mirror Snow Pavilion, had a separate Courtyard arranged for him in Lingxu Marketplace.

It was also very convenient for Qin Ming’s Cultivation.

Because he always went into the Small Spiritual Realm for Cultivation, his Daily Life of Farming and Cultivation was not affected at all.

After arriving in Great Jin, the Heaven Devouring Rat kept clamoring to go out and see the World, and breathe the air here.

Qin Ming told it to be patient and wait a little longer.

“Why are you so anxious! The Spirit Vein Environment outside is not as good as it is here, you are still not satisfied.”

“I see that your skin is itching again.”

……

On this day.

Qin Ming was in the room inside the Small Spiritual Realm, completely focused on making an item.

A black wooden seal, with Demonic Qi surging throughout, was constantly absorbing the Rich Death Qi from the corpses of several Golden Core Stage Cultivators on the ground.

As the Magic Incantations in Qin Ming’s hand kept being cast, Profound Mystery Runes were constantly drawn on the black seal, intertwined, emitting an Eerie Aura.

Finally, a thread of Azure Green Four Seasons Divine Light appeared in Qin Ming’s hand and was injected into the black seal.

In an instant.

The black seal instantly shattered, and a Pitch Black Rune floated out!

Qin Ming’s gaze was Sharp, and with a wave of his hand, he Ingestion this Rune into his hand, and then disappeared.

But as his Willpower moved, the black Rune, emitting an Evil aura, appeared again.

This was a Black Talisman he refined based on the production techniques of ‘Life and Death Talisman’ from the Treasure Refining Technique, combined with the 《 Yuancha Seed Demon True Scripture》, a Secret Technique called ‘Puppet Technique’.

The greatest Effect of this Black Talisman is that once this Talisman is implanted in a Cultivator’s body, the other party will be completely reduced to his Puppet.

And is able to understand the other party’s Every Move, and even their Thoughts are under Control, their Life and Death is really In a Single Thought.

After Qin Ming came to Great Jin and understood the situation on the ground, he felt that it was still fraught with Danger, and he decided to support a Puppet to Show Up for him, and let the Puppet do some of the more dangerous Affairs.

After the Life and Death Talisman was refined, Qin Ming left the Small Spiritual Realm and came to the Shop to drink tea.

He looked out the Window, and the Crowd on the streets of Lingxu Marketplace was bustling, with various vendors’ selling sounds coming one after another.

Suddenly, a commotion of a flurry of activity came.

The Passersby on the Street scattered, and even the nearby Stalls were damaged in the Breakthrough.

I saw a Golden Imperial Carriage, drawn by two handsome and extraordinary Sea Beasts, traveling on the Main Road.

A Cultivator in magnificent clothing was sitting inside the Precious Carriage, and did not deliberately Conceal himself, but rather acted very high-profile.

Qin Ming took a closer look and instantly recognized this person.
