Outrageous! Utterly Outrageous!

Outrageous! Simply outrageous! The atmosphere on the talisman testing grounds had only just begun to settle.

Everyone was still immersed in the shock of seeing a first-tier talisman unleash second-tier power.

Zhang Jian rubbed his hands together, his face full of reverence, waiting eagerly for Su Yun to produce the goods.

In his heart, he assumed there would be, at most, a few dozen or perhaps a hundred.

Being able to bring out a hundred improved talismans at once was already a massive undertaking.

It would be enough for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to secure a significant profit.

The next second.

Su Yun flipped his hand.

Whoosh—

A sky full of flowing light flashed by.

A massive pile of neatly stacked talismans crashed onto the stone platform.

One stack, two stacks, three stacks...

Layer upon layer, they quickly piled up into a small mountain of talisman paper half a person's height.

Multicolored spiritual light swirled incessantly.

Crimson red, cyan wind, silver gold, deep blue...

The luster of the various talisman patterns was vivid and full; there were exactly two thousand talismans.

In an instant.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

The anticipation and reverence on Zhang Jian's face froze instantly.

His eyes widened sharply, and his brain crashed on the spot.

He stood there blankly, his mouth hanging wide open, unable to close it for a long time.

His eyes held nothing but that towering mountain of talisman paper.

He was stunned.

Completely dumbfounded.

He had anticipated a large quantity.

But he had never imagined it would be to such an outrageous degree!

All the clerks, managers, and talisman appraisers from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion standing nearby went rigid.

One by one, they stared with wide eyes, locked onto the stone platform.

Their faces were filled with a dull, disbelieving shock.

"My... my god..."

Someone subconsciously swallowed, their voice trembling.

"So many?!"

"This is just too exaggerated!"

"In my entire life, I have never seen so many top-tier talismans at once!"

"And they are all improved versions!"

Everyone's composure shattered.

An ordinary veteran talisman master, exhausting all their efforts, could produce twenty or thirty top-tier talismans a month and already be considered a top genius.

The old man before them had pulled out two thousand in one go!

Is this something a human can do?

Who exactly is this person?

A hidden master?

A living immortal of the talisman path?

Nothing but endless shock remained in everyone's minds.

Su Yun's expression remained unchanged as he spoke.

"Take a look."

"Inspect them one by one and confirm the quality."

The single sentence pulled everyone back to their senses.

Zhang Jian jolted awake, his heart pounding wildly, his hands and feet going numb.

He hurriedly regained his composure and shouted in a panic.

"Quick! Everyone, come over and inspect the goods immediately!"

"Check everything carefully! Don't miss a single one!"

Several senior talisman inspectors dared not delay and immediately crowded forward.

With a clear division of labor, they performed rapid spot checks, observing closely and sensing the spiritual power.

One talisman after another was flipped open, examined, and sensed.

At the beginning, everyone was filled with shock.

The more they inspected, the more alarmed they became.

Every single one.

Without exception.

They were all top-grade first-tier quality.

The talisman runes were neat and perfect, without a single flaw.

The spiritual power was extremely condensed, restrained and not leaking.

Any one of them taken out would crush all first-tier talismans on the market.

The most outrageous part was the foundation of spiritual power.

Hidden within each one was an extremely terrifying explosive force.

The minimum standard was on par with a low-grade second-tier talisman.

More than half of them had power that approached a mid-grade second-tier talisman!

Half an hour later.

Everyone went from initial shock to complete numbness.

They were numb.

Truly numb.

Absurd!

It was too absurd!

It completely subverted the common knowledge of the Dao of Talismans!

Several people huddled together, repeatedly studying the structure of the talisman runes.

The lines, nodes, closed loops, and spiritual power trajectories.

They were completely standard first-tier talisman patterns.

There were no added runes, no hidden high-tier structures.

The paper was the lowest-grade, ordinary first-tier talisman paper.

The ink was also the most common spiritual ink found in the market.

The materials were unremarkable, and the structure had no modifications whatsoever.

Yet the power simply crushed those of the same level and beat second-tier ones to a pulp!

"It's demonic... too demonic..."

An old talisman inspector muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

"The patterns are exactly the same, the materials are exactly the same."

"Why can the power be multiplied so many times?"

"I can't understand the trick at all!"

Everyone flipped through them repeatedly, comparing them back and forth.

They couldn't figure out any special modifications, nor could they find a trace of anything unusual.

The more they studied, the more their scalps tingled.

On the other side.

Su Yun stood to the side, watching everyone busy themselves, chuckling inwardly.

It would be useless for this group of people to rack their brains.

They relied on knowledge, deduction, and their foundation in the Dao of Talismans.

While he relied on the system's Thousandfold Amplification.

It was pure cheating.

It was a buff from outside the rules.

Even if he let them study for ten or a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to grasp even a shred of the truth.

If they could see through a system cheat, then they would truly be impressive.

Zhang Jian scrutinized the talismans while calculating frantically.

Two thousand improved divine talismans.

Such an output could never be the work of a single person.

The only explanation was that the old man had a terrifying organization backing him.

Only a complete system, countless accumulations, and top-tier heritage could mass-produce such unconventional talismans.

But then another question arose.

Why had such a powerful force never shown itself before?

Why did they choose his humble Baibao Pavilion in Azure Cloud Market to offload their goods?

Zhang Jian could not figure it out.

The more he thought, the more puzzled he became.

But he quickly suppressed all his doubts.

It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out.

Whether he could secure this batch of goods was what mattered most!

This was the greatest opportunity of his life!

If he swallowed this batch of talismans.

Baibao Pavilion would become famous in a single battle!

Forget Azure Cloud Market; even if they expanded to the surrounding cities, they would firmly suppress every other merchant firm!

There was no need to worry about selling these improved talismans.

They could even be sent directly to high-end auctions.

With heaven-defying cost-effectiveness and maximum scarcity.

A little bit of hype would easily double the premium.

Guaranteed profit! Massive profit! Easy money!

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

All the talismans had been inspected.

The lead talisman appraiser walked quickly to Zhang Jian and reported solemnly.

"Boss! Everything has been verified!"

"Two thousand talismans, not a single dud, not a single defective piece!"

"All of them are Tier 1 peak-grade improved talismans!"

"Among them, over thirteen hundred have stable power comparable to Tier 2 low-grade!"

"The remaining nearly seven hundred have even greater potential; their explosive power and refinement have all reached the level of Tier 2 mid-grade!"

As the words fell.

Zhang Jian's pupils dilated once more.

Nearly seven hundred improved talismans with Tier 2 mid-grade power!

He had hit the jackpot!

He had truly hit the jackpot!

He no longer hesitated and immediately began to calculate the total price.

He spoke at lightning speed, his heart racing so hard his hands trembled.

"Thirteen hundred Tier 2 low-grade power talismans, two hundred low-grade spirit stones each!"

"Total: two hundred and sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Seven hundred Tier 2 mid-grade power talismans! Higher quality, stronger explosive power!"

"I will offer the Master a higher price! Three hundred low-grade spirit stones each!"

"Total: two hundred and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Zhang Jian took a deep breath and announced the final total.

"Total price: four hundred and seventy thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Equivalent to four thousand seven hundred mid-grade spirit stones!

A single deal had generated more wealth than most people could earn in a lifetime!

All the clerks nearby trembled upon hearing this, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

This was the terrifying money-making power of a top-tier talisman master!

Zhang Jian looked up, gazing at Su Yun with immense respect and an earnest tone.

"Master! Are you satisfied with this price?"
