Chapter 1304

What made Xiao Hua the happiest wasn't that he refined over three hundred high-grade Fireball Talismans, but rather … the growth of his magic power!

Speaking of which, the magic power within Xiao Hua's body was far stronger than those of the same stage, but … his realm was only at the second level of Qi Refinement, so of course it wasn't enough to support the refinement of over three hundred Fireball Talismans. After Xiao Hua refined several dozen Fireball Talismans, the magic power within his body was completely exhausted, and he couldn't continue. He could only stop and use Shang Huaming's Qi Refinement technique to regulate his breathing and restore his magic power!

At the beginning, he didn't think much of it, but in the end, after he used up all the talisman ink, he checked the magic power within his body. This mere night of refining talismans actually … increased his magic power by more than three days of pure cultivation!

"Hahaha ~" Xiao Hua unconsciously raised his head and laughed heartily: "The Heavenly Law is the most fair. Although the growth of my magic power is slow and the growth of my realm is even more difficult, even refining a Fireball Talisman that can earn spirit stones can increase my magic power. What can I complain about?"

For a moment, Xiao Hua's mood was free from worry. He felt that there were no more difficult things in this world. Even if there was a mountain of danger, there would certainly be a path to the mountain.

"Aiyo, I refined yellow talismans for an entire night. I'm afraid it's already morning. I don't know if Fan Riguan has returned or not. His mother … is fine!"

Xiao Hua suddenly thought of Fan Riguan and felt very uneasy for rashly giving him a Parasol Pill!

Removing the restriction in the room, Xiao Hua walked out of the room and into the hall. He met the waiter who came to greet him. It was the same waiter from yesterday!

"Greetings, Senior Immortal. Are you going out?

It's already afternoon. If you still want to stay here tonight, I'm afraid you'll have to pay the spirit stones for the night first! "The waiter's tone was the same, but it was less enthusiastic.

"Afternoon?" Xiao Hua was slightly stunned and looked at the sky. Of course, the sun hanging high in the sky was already leaning south!

"Has Fan Riguan returned?" Xiao Hua immediately asked.

"Senior Immortal, please know that Brother Fan hasn't returned yet!"

"Didn't you say yesterday that he would return at noon today?" Xiao Hua thought to himself.

"This … I don't know!" The waiter replied respectfully.

"Oh, I see!"

Xiao Hua wanted to ask where Fan Riguan's home was, but after thinking about it, if Fan Riguan's mother had taken the Parasol Pill and lost her life, then it would have happened last night. Even if he found his home now, what use would it be?

Xiao Hua was filled with regret. He patted his storage pouch and handed the remaining nine low-grade spirit stones to the waiter. He said, "After I leave, I'll hand over these low-grade spirit stones to the counter when I come back!"

However, when the waiter saw this, his face revealed a troubled expression. He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Immortal Elder, please don't make things difficult for me. If you want to give me ten spirit stones, just give me ten spirit stones. Nine spirit stones … The counter doesn't allow you to take them!

Furthermore … it's still early in the evening. Before the sky turns dark, the array in the room won't change. Senior immortal, you only need to return before your immortal talisman loses its effect and hand over the ten spirit stones!

Hmm, actually, if there's nothing in your house, it doesn't matter even if the array in your house fails. You just need to come back at night and ask the shopkeeper to give you a new talisman! "

"Oh," Xiao Hua understood. He nodded and said, "I understand!"

As he said this, he put the spirit stones into his storage pouch and walked out without looking back!

Yesterday, he didn't have any spirit stones in his pouch, so he had no choice but to look around. Today, he already had twenty mid-grade spirit stones in his pouch. Wouldn't he be able to stay wherever he went?

Why should he be restricted to this place?

Moreover, he had already noticed the slight change in the waiter's attitude. He felt shameless in his heart, so he didn't feel like saying half a word more!

After leaving the inn, Xiao Hua pondered for a while. He wasn't sure which yellow talisman shop he should go to. After thinking for a while, he came up with an excuse in his mind. Only then did he walk straight to the Refining Talisman School's middle-aged cultivator's yellow talisman shop.

Normally, it should be afternoon right now, so there should be customers. However, when Xiao Hua entered, the shop was empty. There was only a second layer Aura Refining boy holding a thin booklet in his hand, reading it with rapt attention.

When the boy heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately raised his head and put away the booklet. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist …" When he saw Xiao Hua's face and knew he came yesterday, he became even more enthusiastic. "So it's Fellow Daoist. You just came to my small shop yesterday. What do you need today?"

Xiao Hua looked left and right and asked curiously, "Yesterday, I saw a lot of customers in your shop. Now … why is there no one here?"

"This …" The boy stared at Xiao Hua, not knowing what he meant. A moment later, he rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Maybe it's because the weather is hot and people are sleepy. They're all taking an afternoon nap!"

"Afternoon nap?" Xiao Hua pinched his nose. He knew this boy was being perfunctory, so he nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist is right!"

The boy was a bit impatient. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist … I bought a lot of talisman-making materials yesterday. I'm afraid they won't be used for a long time. Did you come today to buy yellow talismans?"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Hua said with a smile, "In my school, there are masters with profound cultivation who can refine yellow talismans. I don't need to always come to buy them!"

"Then why did Fellow Daoist come?"

Xiao Hua rolled his eyes and said, "I don't know if your shop has a talisman-refining technique?

I want to buy it and study it! "

"Talisman-Refining technique?"

The boy was stunned. Soon after, disdain appeared on his face as he replied, "Fellow Daoist, since your school has masters with profound cultivation who can refine yellow talismans, you naturally have a talisman-refining technique. Why are you coveting my Talisman-Refining School's?

Could it be that Fellow Daoist is making fun of I? "

The boy was much younger than Xiao Hua and his cultivation was deeper than Xiao Hua's. He had long looked down on Xiao Hua in his heart. Now that he heard Xiao Hua's thoughts, he became even angrier and his tone became a bit more angry.

"Heh heh, I just want to compare them for reference." Xiao Hua didn't get angry and said with a smile, "Does your shop have them or not?"

"How is that possible?"

The boy was somewhat flustered and exasperated. "The talisman-refining technique is my Talisman-Refining School's most precious inheritance. How could it be placed in the shop for sale?

You … Did you get stimulated at the Yi Bazaar in the south of the city and came to my shop to make fun of me? "

"Yi Bazaar?" Xiao Hua was stunned and said inwardly, "What … is this place?"

Before Xiao Hua could open his mouth, he heard someone berate behind the boy. "Qing Miao, is this how you speak to a customer?"

When Xiao Hua raised his head to look, it was precisely that middle-aged cultivator. His expression was also somewhat displeased as he walked out from inside!

"Senior Martial Brother …" The boy turned his face and said with extreme grievance, "This guy … I'm afraid he came to cause trouble!"

"Fellow Daoist …" That middle-aged cultivator should've also heard the conversation between the two. He walked closer and cupped his hands. "Within my Talisman-Refining School's shop, we only sell yellow talismans and talisman-refining materials. We don't sell talisman-refining techniques. Within all the shops within Jingpo City, there's also no talisman-refining techniques for sale. If Fellow Daoist wants to look, you should go to the Yi Bazaar in the south of the city and try your luck. Perhaps you can even exchange for talisman-refining techniques!"

"Talisman?"

Xiao Hua's heart stirred, then he said with a smile on his face, "Senior, please calm down. I was only joking with Fellow Daoist!

Don't take it seriously! "

"Hmm?"

That middle-aged cultivator's gaze flickered. His expression didn't change, and his tone was still indifferent as he asked, "Then … Fellow Daoist, why have you come to my humble shop again?"

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "It's nothing much. I have two matters to discuss with Senior!"

"What two matters?" The middle-aged cultivator was somewhat baffled.

Xiao Hua patted his storage pouch and took out the talisman brush from within. He handed it over and said with a smile, "This talisman brush … Junior used it last night, but … forget it. Junior isn't afraid of making a fool of himself in front of Senior. Yesterday, I bought some talisman papers and other materials to refine fireball talismans from your esteemed shop. Last night, I was idle and had nothing to do, so I asked the elders of my school to give me pointers on the refining method. But I refined it for a long time and still couldn't refine one …"

Xiao Hua hadn't finished speaking when the boy at the side burst out laughing. He covered his mouth and was practically about to bend over!

"Qing Miao!"

The middle-aged cultivator wasn't surprised at all. He only coldly berated, "What face do you have to laugh at me?

You don't even have the guts to refine it! "

Soon after, he cupped his hands towards the embarrassed Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't blame me. Actually … Fellow Daoist, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Even though the fireball talisman is a low-level yellow talisman, it's still a true offensive yellow talisman. It can't be compared to a supplementary yellow talisman like a Messaging Talisman. Fellow Daoist's cultivation … is still shallow. Being able to have the guts to refine it and not be afraid of failure is already commendable!"

"Cough cough, my school's elders also said this, so …" Xiao Hua awkwardly looked at the talisman brush in his hand and said, "This talisman brush … Junior hasn't used it much. Do you think … Can I return it to Senior?"

"This …" That middle-aged cultivator didn't expect that Xiao Hua actually came to return the talisman brush. He unconsciously hesitated, "Actually … even though this talisman brush is a low-level one, it's still refined by my Talisman Refining School. There's no harm in Fellow Daoist keeping it first. It won't be too late to use it after a few years when your cultivation has increased!"

"Senior ~" Xiao Hua pleaded, "This talisman brush … I'm afraid Junior won't be able to use it for over ten years. There's no need to talk about talisman paper and talisman ink, they aren't worth much spirit stones. My other senior martial brothers can also use them, but this talisman brush … Senior martial brothers all have it. Wait until Junior … Junior's cultivation has deepened in the future, then I'll come back to your store to buy a high-grade talisman brush. What do you think?"

"You're so unreasonable!"

The boy at the side jumped up, "If your cultivation isn't enough, then don't try to show off. Since you bought it and can't use it, you still want to return it. How can disciples of large sects like you all be so overbearing?"

"Qing Miao ~" The middle-aged cultivator couldn't help but berate, "Shut up!"

Then he smiled apologetically at Xiao Hua, "Fellow Daoist … If this talisman brush is useless, then you can return it.

But since you've already used it, forgive my store for being unable to do anything! "

"Oh?

Since it's like this … "Xiao Hua shook his head and said," Since it's like this, then … Junior also has nothing to say. Sigh, I originally wanted to talk about a good matter with your store!

Let's stop here! "

"Hmm?"

That middle-aged man's eyes slightly moved, and he asked, "I wonder if Fellow Daoist … the second matter you mentioned just now is …?"

Xiao Hua slightly spun the talisman brush in his hand, and said with a smile, "The first matter still hasn't come to an end, so of course there isn't a second matter!"

Looking at Xiao Hua's almost rascal appearance, the middle-aged cultivator wore a smile at the corners of his mouth. He took the talisman brush, carefully looked at it, and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist is right. This talisman brush has only been used twenty or so times!

It can also be considered new! "

This "new" bite is very heavy!

Xiao Hua's face was embarrassed, yet he revealed a trace of a smile.

"Since … Fellow Daoist wants to return it like this, then I will also help Fellow Daoist!"

The middle-aged cultivator said somewhat helplessly, "However, a new talisman brush costs fifty low-grade spirit stones. If my humble store wants to return it, I can only return thirty to Fellow Daoist!"

"Huh?

Why … so little? "Xiao Hua's face revealed displeasure, and he pointed at the talisman brush and said," Didn't Senior also say it?

This talisman brush has only been used twenty times, and … it's still very new! "

"Fellow Daoist, not to mention that this talisman brush has only been used twenty times, even if it's only been used once, Fellow Daoist's magic power has already contaminated this talisman brush. Say, if it's Fellow Daoist … would you still buy this talisman brush?" The middle-aged cultivator said with a chuckle.

"This …" Xiao Hua's face was somewhat hesitant, and he thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, Senior spare me another ten high-grade talisman papers?"

"You … Fellow Daoist … don't push your luck. If Fellow Daoist doesn't agree, then please take back this talisman brush!" The middle-aged cultivator's face slightly changed.

"Cough cough, forget it, forget it. Since Senior has spoken like this, then I'll do as Senior says!"

When Xiao Hua saw this, he hurriedly waved his hand, and he immediately placed his hand behind his back, looking like he wouldn't accept the talisman brush even if the middle-aged cultivator gave it to him!

"Hmph ~" The middle-aged cultivator snorted from his nose, and he threw the talisman brush towards the boy, then said, "Qingmiao, this talisman brush can be considered a gift from Senior Brother to you. When you refine talismans in the future, you must remember Senior Brother's kindness!"

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

The boy happily received it, but the middle-aged cultivator's next sentence caused him to immediately cry. "These thirty low-grade spirit stones will be deducted from your salary!"

Soon after, the middle-aged cultivator cupped his hands and said, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist's second … good thing is?"

"Hehe," Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Senior said yesterday that if Junior has high-grade yellow talismans, your shop can purchase them for one medium-grade spirit stone!"

The middle-aged cultivator's brows slightly wrinkled, and he corrected, "It's forty to eighty low-grade spirit stones, not one medium-grade spirit stone!"

Soon after, he said disapprovingly, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist has high-grade yellow talismans?"

"That's right!"

Xiao Hua said proudly, "Yesterday, the elders of my sect guided Junior's cultivation, and I refined some high-grade fireball talismans. I wonder if Senior is interested in purchasing them?"

"This …" Hearing Xiao Hua's words, the middle-aged cultivator who originally thought that there was something good immediately deflated. Of course, a high-grade fireball talisman is worth fifty to a hundred low-grade spirit stones in his shop, and if he buys them from Xiao Hua, it's only forty to eighty low-grade spirit stones. He can only earn a difference of ten to twenty low-grade spirit stones at most, this … can this be considered a good thing?

The middle-aged cultivator originally wanted to refuse, but thinking about how he just received the talisman brush returned by Xiao Hua, and how Xiao Hua said yesterday that the shop can purchase them, he could only weakly say, "Fellow Daoist, please take out the fireball talismans refined by your sect's elders for me to take a look … I have already said, if they aren't high-grade fireball talismans … Oh, if the number is too small, I … am also not interested!"
