Chapter 70 Ma Jian, the Second Generation Rich
"Bai Qiang, I'm here to lend you a hand."
If spiritual power is insufficient, magical artifacts will suffice. Ma Jian threw an attacking magical artifact, which directly blasted the mist apart.
"I will kill you scum for daring to harm my true form."
As soon as she finished speaking, countless wisps of mist drifted towards them. Gao Huohuo flicked her whip and pulled Ma Jian to her side.
"Hide behind me."
After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out several talismans and threw them around, and a series of explosions rang out from all sides.
Then Ma Jian felt someone pat him on the back, and then he could no longer see anyone else.
But this time, a rope was tied around his waist, and he was being dragged along. Ma Jian was so frightened that he quickly got up.
His face was almost rubbed against the ground when Ma Jian was about to call out to Bai Qiang.
Then Gao Huohuo transmitted a message to him: "Don't speak, we are running for our lives. You angered it by throwing the magic weapon."
That bastard summoned all the mist; we couldn't win, so we had to run.
"Huh? Didn't you tell me to go? What about my spiritual power?"
"Aren't I the one using my spiritual power to hold you back right now? Stop trying to communicate with me telepathically, save your energy!"
When Gao Huohuo and the others finally reached a place where the fog was relatively normal, they stopped and removed their invisibility talismans.
"Ah, how did you all suddenly appear? Bai Qiang, what did you pat me on just now?"
"The invisibility talisman was drawn exclusively by my junior sister. You got a great deal; we usually only accept spirit stones."
As soon as Lou Chongxiao finished explaining, Ma Jian stared at Gao Huohuo in astonishment. He hadn't expected that this little girl could draw talismans.
"So, your first sudden disappearance was also because you used an invisibility talisman?"
Gao Huohuo waved his hand, "No, it wasn't that. The first time was purely because that bastard tried to ambush us. I was in a hurry to catch it and forgot to call you."
"Here, a pill to replenish your spiritual energy."
Upon hearing this, Ma Jian quickly fed it to his mouth, and sure enough, the moment it melted in his mouth, his spiritual power was restored somewhat.
"Thirty low-grade spirit stones each."
Upon hearing this, Ma Jian's initial感动 (feeling of being half-moved) vanished instantly.
"Huh? Wasn't it supposed to be free for me?"
"What are you thinking? This is our exclusive product, otherwise do you think it would be so effective!"
How do I pay with spirit stones?
If I don't have it on hand right now, I can accept it as collateral or in exchange for goods.
Ma Jian hurriedly took out 330 low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to Gao Huohuo.
"Buy ten more."
Damn, the price is too low!
After taking ten pills, Ma Jian felt that he had finally regained his strength as a Golden Core cultivator.
"Bai Qiang, do you sell your invisibility talismans?"
Lou Chongxiao was about to answer when Gao Huohuo gave him a look that silenced him.
She had already set the price of the Spirit Replenishing Pill low earlier, so this time she would make the most of the price of the Invisibility Talisman.
"I don't even have enough invisibility talismans to save my life."
"I gave you one earlier because you seem like a reliable person, and you know how to help us deal with that bastard, so I saved your life."
When Ma Jian heard that he hadn't been explicitly rejected, he knew there was still a chance.
"Bai Qiang, I don't need many, just sell me five, no, three will do, the price is negotiable."
Gao Huohuo continued to shake her head, implying that her invisibility talisman was quite important and that there weren't many of them.
I understand. This means I can sell him invisibility talismans, but the price will be much higher than that of elixirs.
"Bai Qiang, how many cards do you have in total? I'm willing to offer one hundred low-grade spirit stones for each card."
Haha, what a steal! Drawing an invisibility talisman, after deducting her labor cost, doesn't even cost a single low-grade spirit stone.
After all, in order to save costs, she relied on her high talent and used the cheapest talisman paper.
As for the talisman brush, it was made from scraps that Brother Sihai found last time. He made her a new one before he left, but she was still reluctant to use it.
Gao Huohuo took out all the invisibility talismans from her storage ring and counted them; there were exactly twenty.
"Here you go, twenty in total, I'll sell them all to you."
Ma Jian didn't expect there to be twenty more. He thought that judging from Gao Huohuo's tone, five would be the most he could get.
He took out the spirit stones from his storage ring and handed them to Gao Huohuo, only then remembering something.
"Bai Qiang, you sold me all the invisibility talismans, what are the three of you going to do?"
Gao Huohuo said that with food at home, there's nothing to worry about.
He took out talisman paper and talisman pen from his storage ring and began drawing invisibility talismans on the spot, leaving Ma Jian speechless with shock.
"Bai Qiang, you...you...you can actually draw an invisibility talisman so quickly, and you just said that there weren't many."
"The quantity is indeed not much. My senior brothers and sisters probably each have a hundred, so my twenty are indeed few."
What? One hundred per person? When did talisman masters become so cheap?
"How many spirit stones did they spend to buy it?"
Upon hearing this, Lou Chongxiao and Ye Lingyu both looked at him as if he were an idiot.
They are all senior and junior disciples, so why would the junior sister ask them for spirit stones?
"I'll give it to them for free!"
Okay, he misunderstood her. He thought that Bai Qiang was so greedy that she would never give away an invisibility talisman for free.
But she turned out to be quite loyal; it seems he misjudged her.
"Speaking of that monster in the mist, what exactly is it? Could it be that my senior brothers were captured by it?"
Gao Huohuo put away the invisibility talisman he had just drawn and started talking nonsense with a straight face.
"They might not only have arrested them, but they might have already been killed by that bastard. That's why you've been wandering around here for so long without being able to find your senior brothers."
"Hey, I'm going to find another monster, want to come with me?"
Before Ma Jian could recover from Gao Huohuo's previous words, he heard that there was another monster?
Did he stumble into a monster's lair? Why are there monsters everywhere?
"Bai Qiang, you'll protect me, right?"
Huh? He's a fifth-level Golden Core cultivator, and he needs her, someone who just reached the Golden Core stage, to protect him?
"Fellow Daoist Ma, aren't you saying the opposite of what you meant?"
Upon hearing Lou Chongxiao's voice, Ma Jian firmly shook his head.
"I just want Bai Qiang to protect me, to be with her, so that I can feel safe."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo thought, "Isn't this another business opportunity to earn spirit stones?"
He cleared his throat and then said with a troubled expression:
"Fellow Daoist Ma, it's not that I don't want to protect you, but I'm afraid that when we start fighting the monsters, we might not be able to take care of you."
"Since you didn't really intend to harm us before, why don't we take this opportunity to go our separate ways?"
After saying that, he was about to leave with Lou Chongxiao and Ye Lingyu when Ma Jian stopped him and then said with a fawning expression:
"Bai Qiang, the price is negotiable. I'll hire you to protect me, and I'll listen to you the whole way. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."
Gao Huohuo glanced at Ye Lingyu, and Ye Lingyu immediately stepped forward.
"Fellow Daoist Ma, talking about prices is too hurtful. We simply can't bear to part with you, right, Eighth Junior Brother?"
He knew it was because he couldn't bear to part with his spirit stones! He understood; after all, he had more spirit stones than he could ever spend.
