“Brother Luo Chen, this is the board I prepared for you. You can set it up at your stall, and no one will bother you about it.”

Chen Shuyi brought out a large wooden board from the back and firmly installed it on the side of a bluestone board.

“Thank you, Xiao Shuyi! Here’s something for you to munch on.”

Luo Chen pulled out a handful of freshly roasted Immortal Beans from his Storage Bag and stuffed them into the young girl’s hand.

Chen Shuyi’s eyes brightened up instantly. She popped one in her mouth and started crunching loudly.

“Mmm! Brother Luo Chen’s snacks are really tasty!”

The snacks Luo Chen had previously given to Elder Chen had mostly ended up being brought home for his granddaughter to eat.

Otherwise, a man in his sixties would have no reason to crave Luo Chen’s spicy beef jerky all the time.

Seeing the young girl so satisfied and indulgent, Luo Chen smiled.

As he was arranging the elixirs in jade bottles, he asked with curiosity, “Has the business been good lately? You have so many pieces of talisman paper on display. Can you sell all of them in a day?”

When it came to business, Elder Chen instantly perked up.

“You haven’t been out much recently, have you!”

“What do you mean?”

“The foot traffic in The Great River Market has at least doubled from before!” Elder Chen pointed to the bustling marketplace, “There are too many visiting cultivators, and Yu Ding Sword Pavilion has specifically set up several trading points in the Inner City and Outer City. In their words, this is a trade fair targeting the five big markets.”

With his explanation, Luo Chen finally understood the impact the recent changes in The Great River Market had on the local cultivators.

Business was just too good!

Perhaps due to its proximity to the Million Mountains, various cultivation resources were available at The Great River Market that differed strikingly from those found inland.

Out-of-town cultivators often found something delightful and ended up buying a lot.

Similarly, those visitors also set up stalls selling their own merchandise.

Elder Chen’s business was particularly thriving lately!

Not just in talismans, but also in his other skill—the production of Talisman paper!

The creation of talismans involved many steps.

Talisman brushes, cinnabar, beast blood, and talisman paper.

Talisman paper comes in several types, including paper from books, wood, and beasts, and so on.

Among them, talisman paper made of beast skin is known for its ability to contain large amounts of Spirit Qi. Talismans drawn on this type of paper are often very powerful.

Elder Chen happened to excel in making talisman paper from beast skin. This was mostly because of his proximity to the Million Mountains, where he can easily purchase various beast skins.

When visiting cultivators saw the high-quality talisman paper that he made, they either wouldn’t buy it, or they would wholesale purchase.

Seeing Elder Chen’s eyes full of bloodshot veins, his hands full of calluses, and even the smell of blood on his body that couldn’t be removed, Luo Chen knew that this old man must have been working like crazy making talisman paper recently.

This is why the stall they used to share is now filled with talisman paper.

Even his granddaughter, who used to stay at home, was brought out to help sell the goods.

With Luo Chen’s instinct for Spirit Stones and business, he quickly realized this was also a good opportunity for him.

If he missed this window, he feared there wouldn’t be such a good opportunity in the short term!

“What a pity. I’ve been cooped up too long and found out about this opportunity too late. Otherwise, I would’ve stayed up all night making more batches of pills.”

“Luckily, I mastered the Allure Pill Refinement Technique to the Mastery Level, and I’ve succeeded nine times in the past half month, so I have as many as ninety Allure Pills on hand!”

Luo Chen was not the type to complain about fate, and even if he occasionally did, he would soon adjust his attitude.

At this moment, he had adjusted his mood and displayed all his Fasting Elixirs and Allure Pills.

It had to be said, the board prepared by Xiao Shuyi was quite large.

It allowed him to display almost two hundred jade bottles, and there was still room to spare.

However, this was due to the current lenient market management policy. The Yu Ding Sword Pavilion wouldn’t interfere.

If this were ordinary times, Luo Chen would have had to pay another Spirit Stone as stall fee.

After displaying the elixirs, Luo Chen still wasn’t satisfied.

He thought for a moment, took out a brush, and swiftly wrote a few large characters on a piece of white cloth.

When he hung it before his stall, Chen Shuyi beside him started to read it out word by word.

“‘Allure Divine Pill: To Show the Masculinity of Men!”‘

“Stop it, stop it! Aren’t you embarrassed, you brat!”

Chen Xiuping quickly pulled the girl aside and glared fiercely at Luo Chen with his red eyes.

Luo Chen didn’t take it to heart, and when the sun rose and the crowd grew, he even started shouting loudly.

“Have a look, take a glance, the life of a cultivator is truly splendid!”

It must be said that, in the conservative environment of today’s society, it’s rare to find a cultivator like him who is shameless enough to shout out loud.

But it was also for this reason that he quickly attracted a bunch of cultivators.

Among them, out-of-town cultivators made up the majority.

“What kind of elixir is this?”

“Show a man’s masculinity? Hmph, we cultivators… don’t need such things!”

“Is it really as good as you say?”

“Ahem, it’s not that I want to buy it, but I have a friend. He fought with someone and…ahem, developed some issues. You know what I mean. Give me five bottles!”

“Give me one bottle. I actually want to see what kind of features The Great River’s specialty elixir has.”

After a batch of customers left, without even taking a sip of water, Luo Chen started shouting loudly again.

“Walk by, take a look. The Allure Pills that used to sell for eight or nine stones are now selling at a discount.”

“To give back to our old customers and to welcome visiting friends, we now offer Medium Grade Allure Pills for just five Spirit Stones!”

“Yes, you heard it right. Our Allure Pills, better quality for the same price, five Spirit Stones, this isn’t something you can miss out on!”

A crowd of people swarmed over again!

Chen Shuyi, who was squeezed into a corner, was stunned.

She used to think her grandfather’s tales about his shameless stall partner were just his biased perspective but now it seemed that she’d perhaps underestimated the situation.

She felt like apologizing to her grandfather.

But when she turned around, she realized that her grandfather, with his face flushed red and his lips trembling as though he wanted to say something but stopped himself, was staring at Luo Chen.

Chen Shuyi, who’d been smart and understanding since she was a child, instantly understood.

Seeing the situation, she quickly comforted him, “Grandpa, don’t get angry. It’s just business, it’s not a big deal.”

Elder Chen’s eyes sparkled. He gently rubbed the girl’s head.

“Yes, my dear Shuyi is right. Doing business and earning cultivation resources, it’s no big deal.”

Then, under Shuyi’s shocked gaze, Elder Chen took a deep breath and burst out shouting.

“Stand, look, don’t miss out!”

“High-quality talisman papers here!”

“Talisman paper made from fresh beast skin that can bear at least three attempts at talisman drawing by beginners, only ten Spirit Stones a bundle.”

“Absolutely fresh, still drenched in blood and smeared with beast meat.”

Not long after, a bunch of people had gathered in front of the bluestone stall.

The two small stalls were attracting a sea of people at once.

Amid all this commotion, Luo Chen turned around. Elder Chen, as if sensing his gaze, also turned his head.

The two men looked at each other and grinned. All was understood without words..
