Selling Talismans

"12 years old, auxiliary-type Soul Master, Martial Soul Talisman, Rank 11!"

"No problem. With your qualifications, you can apply to our Heaven Treasure Academy!"

At the registration office of Heaven Treasure Academy, an Intermediate Soul Master Academy, Gu Ziyi presented his elementary academy graduation certificate to the admissions Teacher and quickly earned his approval.

This was an ordinary Intermediate Soul Master Academy with relatively simple admission requirements, making it perfect for Gu Ziyi.

"Alright, Teacher, how much is the registration fee?"

Gu Ziyi did not continue looking at other Intermediate Soul Master Academies and decided to enroll in Heaven Treasure Academy before him.

So, Gu Ziyi directly asked about the registration fee. Every academy charged differently, but most were around ten Gold Soul Coins.

"Ten Gold Soul Coins. Are you registering in advance now?"

Sure enough, the registration fee the admissions Teacher mentioned was ten Gold Soul Coins.

"No, I'll come back to register on the official registration day."

Gu Ziyi hurriedly shook his head. He did not have that many Gold Soul Coins on him right now.

After leaving Heaven Treasure Academy, Gu Ziyi hired a carriage and headed toward the nearest Soul Beast Forest.

Of course, he was not heading to a wild Soul Beast Forest, but one raised by Spirit Hall. It was also the beginner Soul Beast Forest where most low-level Soul Masters hunted.

With more than a month left, that should be enough time for me to earn ten Gold Soul Coins!

Gu Ziyi thought to himself as he sat in the carriage.

At the same time, Gu Ziyi would occasionally condense a Purifying Heart Mantra talisman.

That was right—Gu Ziyi planned to sell talismans at the entrance to the Soul Beast Forest.

There were not only Soul Masters forming parties to hunt Soul Beasts there, but also teams specializing in helping others hunt Soul Beasts.

Under normal circumstances, Gu Ziyi's talismans could last for two days, making that the most suitable place to sell them.

Of course, once used, a Purifying Heart Mantra talisman was only effective for ten minutes.

Gu Ziyi could infuse more Soul Power to summon Purifying Heart Mantra talismans with longer durations and effects, but there was no need. Ordinary Purifying Heart Mantra talismans were enough.

"Looking for one agility-attack Battle Soul Master or auxiliary-type Soul Master, then the team can set out..."

"This team needs a powerful assault-type Battle Soul Master..."

"Professional team specializing in helping newcomers hunt Soul Beasts. Interested parties, come discuss the details. Affordable rates!"

"..."

When Gu Ziyi arrived at the Soul Beast Forest, he heard the cries of vendors before he even got close.

After taking a brief look around, Gu Ziyi picked a suitable spot. He spread a cloth on the ground for his stall, then immediately set up a sign beside it.

"Talismans for sale! One Silver Soul Coin each. Affordable prices, honest business!"

"Talisman effects: Relieves nervousness, allowing you to maintain the mindset of a powerhouse like a Titled Douluo in battle! It can also dispel abnormal mental conditions and grant immunity to mental attacks. Duration: ten minutes."

Gu Ziyi directly displayed the effects of the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman.

As for how the Purifying Heart Mantra could aid cultivation, Gu Ziyi definitely would not mention that.

As long as he did not say so, he believed no one would waste a talisman while cultivating.

The chance of it being discovered was still extremely small.

And even if it were discovered, it would not really matter.

"Talismans? What are those?"

"Some kind of auxiliary item?"

"Relieves nervousness? The mindset of a powerhouse like a Titled Douluo? You're scamming people, aren't you?"

"I've never heard of an auxiliary item like that..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect there to be an auxiliary Martial Soul like this..."

"One Silver Soul Coin each? That's a little expensive..."

"..."

As soon as Gu Ziyi set up his stall, it attracted quite a bit of attention.

Since this was the first time anyone had seen an auxiliary Martial Soul like talismans, everyone was naturally curious.

"Genuine goods, honest business!"

"I can only condense ten talismans a day. Once they're sold out, they're gone!"

Seeing that the attention was good, Gu Ziyi quickly stood up and said.

Gu Ziyi was not trying to create artificial scarcity. His Soul Power really was only enough to summon around ten talismans.

As long as he could sell them, ten a day was enough. He still needed the rest of his time for cultivation! "Quit talking nonsense. Here's one Silver Soul Coin. Give me one so I can see whether it's really that amazing!"

As soon as Gu Ziyi finished speaking, a burly man tossed him one Silver Soul Coin and picked up a Purifying Heart Mantra talisman from the stall.

"How do you use this?"

The burly man picked up the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman and looked directly at Gu Ziyi.

"Just activate it with Soul Power and slap it onto your body!"

Gu Ziyi explained.

"I'll give it a try right now!"

Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, the burly man wasted no time and slapped the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman in his hand onto himself.

Buzz—

As the burly man slapped it onto his body, the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman flashed with yellow light before vanishing into him.

"Mm—"

The instant the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman took effect, the burly man's expression changed. Not only that, but his entire bearing changed as well.

Originally, the burly man had clearly looked like a hot-tempered brute. But now, he gave off an entirely different air—refined and elegant, with calm eyes and a peaceful demeanor.

"It really does feel completely different. How long does this talisman last?"

Having calmed down, the burly man coolly asked Gu Ziyi about the duration of the talisman's effect.

"Two days!"

Gu Ziyi answered.

"Give me five more!"

The burly man placed an order without another word.

Having used the Purifying Heart Mantra talisman himself, he knew very well that this was something worth buying.

He did not know whether using this talisman in battle could grant someone the state of mind of a Titled Douluo, but he was certain that its supportive effect was excellent.

Since he was about to lead a team out, he decisively chose to buy them.

"Alright, please wait a moment!"

Gu Ziyi was immediately delighted. Business was officially starting! There were still three talismans on the stall, so Gu Ziyi summoned two more Purifying Heart Mantra talismans for the burly man on the spot.

"Is it really that miraculous?"

"I'll take one too!"

"It can be stored for two days? Then give me one as well..."

"..."

While Gu Ziyi was selling talismans.

At the foot of Clear Sky Sect's mountain.

Two young girls glanced back in the direction of the sect, then left without looking back.

"Cousin, are we really running away from home?"

One of the girls kept looking back as she walked, uncertainly asking the other girl.

"Of course. I don't want to stay in the sect any longer!"

Tang Yuehua, the girl being questioned, answered without hesitation.

Because her martial soul had mutated and left her unable to cultivate, Tang Yuehua could not avoid the strange looks of others, even as the sect leader's daughter.

Tang Yuehua had long since had enough.

So, Tang Yuehua planned to go out and see the world. She intended to travel somewhere far away, find a Soul Master Academy, and experience academy life.

Traveling with her was Bai Lu, her Elder Sister, who was a few months older than her and the daughter of her Uncle, Bai He.
