Leaving Southwest Street, Lu Changsheng did not head straight back.
Instead, he found an inn on a nearby street and spent a Spirit Stone to rent a room.
Once in the room, Lu Changsheng took out a Middle Grade Purification Talisman from his Storage Bag and used it on himself.
Cultivators have a multitude of spells and techniques at their disposal, many of which can leave behind marks on others for tracking purposes.
This Purification Talisman was capable of dispelling and cleansing such tracking marks and imprints.
Seeing that the talisman had no effect on him, Lu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing he was not being tracked.
After all, last time he’d left Bullhead Mountain after selling some items, he was targeted immediately upon descent.
It was still wise to be cautious and careful.
Lu Changsheng could even feel that his two years of comfortable life with the Lu Family had caused him to lose some of that cautiousness that he had when he first arrived, always feeling as if he were walking on thin ice.
Hence, he constantly reminded himself to stay alert and be aware of potential dangers even when in a safe environment.
Otherwise, there’s no telling when danger might strike.
After resting in the room for half an hour, Lu Changsheng left with a Human Skin Mask on.
He still had the same dark, unremarkable appearance.
After all, looking ordinary made it less likely for one to be remembered.
Stepping out of the inn, Lu Changsheng returned to Southwest Street.
Having spent so many Spirit Stones today without any income, it was natural that he wouldn’t return so quickly; he was planning to sell some items in exchange for Spirit Stones.
He continued to stroll along the street he’d previously walked.
Since he had already bought many Spiritual Materials needed for the Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Technique, enough for some time of cultivation, he didn’t buy any more.
After all, it was necessary to keep some Spirit Stones on hand for emergencies.
Then, he saw a stall selling books.
He spent two Spirit Stones and bought a “Dragon Locking Secret Technique” and a “Jade Room Essential Arts.”
They taught how to enhance that certain ability and how to retain Yang energy and blood during moments of pleasure, reducing energy loss.
These were just common bedroom arts, not any Cultivation Techniques or secret techniques.
Otherwise, they would not be sold for such a price.
In Lu Changsheng’s opinion, these things were just for fun.
Real Dual Cultivation secret techniques and Cultivation Techniques would have to come from the system.
After browsing around enough, Lu Changsheng went to a stall at the corner of the street to pay a Spirit Stone and start his own stall.
The cultivator at the payment stall gave him a wooden plaque.
The plaque bore a number, corresponding to a stall location where he could set up shop for three days.
Having taken the plaque, Lu Changsheng found his designated spot and sat down.
He took out a stack of talismans.
There were thirty Lower Grade Talismans and five Middle Grade Talismans in total.
While he was wandering around earlier, he had also taken a look at other talisman-selling stalls.
He knew he couldn’t put out too many, or it would attract undue attention.
Then, he laid out three items he’d acquired from three Robber Cultivators on Bullhead Mountain: a Flying Sword, a Flying Dagger, and a bell.
Since he had the Green-Face Sword and plenty of talismans by his side, he had no use for these three Magic Artifacts and naturally chose to sell them for cash.
As for the three Storage Bags he’d previously obtained, one he used for miscellaneous items, and another for talismans, he wasn’t selling them just yet as they might come in handy later.
After marking prices on all the items, Lu Changsheng waited for business to pick up.
However, an hour passed by.
Every now and then, people glanced at his stall, but most had little interest; he only sold five or six talismans.
“My stall’s location isn’t good, it’s too far back.”
“And in a place like Nine Dragons Market, there are too many people selling talismans and Magic Artifacts; it’s too competitive, and most rely on the reputation and customers they’ve built up over time.”
“Even though my prices are a bit lower than other stalls, I still can’t compete unless I lower them even more.”
“But a slight reduction is useless; I’d have to drop the prices significantly, and that would clearly disrupt the market and attract unwanted attention.”
After selling for quite a while without moving many items, a hint of impatience arose in Lu Changsheng, and he stood up to pack up and leave.
He planned to see if he could find any buyers for talismans and Magic Artifacts.
A lower price would be fine.
Otherwise, relying on setting up a stall, who knows when he would manage to sell everything.
“I have thirty Lower Grade Talismans and five Middle Grade Talismans, will you buy them?”
“No.”
“No.”
“No.”
“What price are you offering?”
After asking four stalls, one of the owners spoke up.
“Ten percent off your current asking price,” Lu Changsheng said.
“Too high, fifty percent off, and I’ll take them all,” the stall owner countered.
“Forget it then, I might as well sell them myself,” Lu Changsheng turned to leave immediately.
Damn it, there was a limit to being cutthroat; he couldn’t believe the owner had the nerve to say fifty percent off.
“Brother, sixty percent off,” the stall owner called out as Lu Changsheng walked away.
“Eighty percent off,” Lu Changsheng paused.
“How about this, let’s meet halfway at seventy percent off,” the stall owner suggested.
Lu Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright.”
He took out the stack of talismans for the owner to count.
He suddenly felt a twinge of guilt toward Hong Yi; he was selling talismans here at a thirty percent discount.
Yet, he only gave a twenty percent discount to Hong Yi.
“Based on the market price, that’s eighty Spirit Stones in total. At seventy percent off, that would be fifty-six Spirit Stones,” the stall owner calculated the price after counting the talismans.
“Deal,” Lu Changsheng completed the transaction and quickly left Southwest Street.
He changed his appearance again and found four Spiritual Talisman Shops to sell his talismans.
Considering his own identity issues and not being proficient enough in changing appearances, Lu Changsheng chose not to approach the larger talisman shops.
The shops he found all seemed relatively small.
The buying price for talismans was around seventy percent off.
And so, Lu Changsheng sold a total of one hundred forty-five Lower Grade Talismans and sixty Middle Grade Talismans at five different Spiritual Talisman Shops.
