A Meeting Arranged

"But my sister seems to be obsessed. She's always trying to introduce me to Foundation Establishment elders or Qi Refining prodigies who have cultivated the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula. I'm so annoyed by it, I haven't gone to see them."

"But a few days ago, my sister brought a cultivator named Ye Wushuang to see me. That cultivator is so annoying; he came to see me again yesterday."

He said he would definitely be able to Foundation Establishment in the future and wanted me to follow him, but I couldn't be bothered with him.

Wang Mengde looked at these words.

Shen Qingyue did not seek dao companion.

They didn't even have the desire to find dao companion.

From her tone, Wang Mengde could tell that Shen Qingyue still liked him.

Those "You big bad guy" calls, tinged with familiar reproach and affection, were just like back on Rosy Cloud Island.

However, as he looked further ahead, his brows gradually furrowed.

That scoundrel Shen Qingxue, she actually tries to introduce Qingyue to dao companion all the time.

Qingyue cultivated the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula. For a woman who has cultivated the Luan-Phoenix Harmony Formula, the spiritual energy feedback during her first cultivation is the most abundant.

Those bastards are only after Qingyue's cultivation potential.

Then let's just...

He and Qingyue cultivated together.

This was Qingyue's first time cultivating. Although it wasn't his first time cultivating, his spiritual energy was extremely hot, not much different from his first time cultivating.

If the two cultivate together, they will definitely see a significant boost in their cultivation level.

Most importantly...

He liked Qingyue.

Qingyue also likes him.

He didn't want to miss Qingyue.

I don't want Qingyue to become dao companion with someone else in the future.

Qingyue is a soft-hearted girl with no guile.

If you side with someone else, you'll definitely be bullied to death.

His Qingyue is someone only he can bully.

Wang Mengde picked up a Voice Transmission Talisman, channeled his spiritual power into it, and wrote a line of text:

"I miss you. I'll set off for Azure Cliff Island within a month to find you, cultivate together, and help you improve your cultivation."

The Talisman transformed into specks of light and dissipated.

Azure Cliff Island.

Small courtyard.

In the meditation room.

Shen Qingyue was slightly taken aback when she received Wang Mengde's message.

Cultivate together?

Help me improve my cultivation level?

That's just...

Her heart started pounding, and a deep blush rose to her pretty face.

This guy really has no shame whatsoever.

He clearly wanted to cultivate himself, yet he said he would help me improve my cultivation level.

But this guy seems to have always been shameless.

When she first obtained this Cultivation Method, he immediately asked her if she wanted to cultivate it together in the future.

The following month.

That's shameless...

That's absolutely shameless...

Although there was no dual cultivation, that's all there was to it.

That one month filled her heart with that big bad guy.

There is no room for anyone else.

Four years apart, the longing has not faded; on the contrary, it has grown stronger with the passage of time.

She was willing to cultivate with that guy.

However, she wasn't ready yet.

But if I refuse, that guy will definitely be very sad.

Oops...

Shen Qingyue bit her lower lip, then picked up a Talisman, gently entered the text, and activated it.

Rosy Cloud Island.

Wang Mengde received a reply.

"You shameless bastard, the journey is quite long, so buy some Talisman and be sure to stay safe."

When you arrive at Azure Cliff Island, please contact me in advance. Entry and exit to Azure Cliff Island are not permitted at will. I will be waiting for you on the west coast of Azure Cliff Island.

I've prepared some food for you in advance.

Wang Mengde was startled when he saw the words, and a smile appeared on his lips.

He thought for a moment, picked up a Voice Transmission Talisman, and wrote:

"I'll be leaving in the next few days, so you don't need to reply to my messages. The number of Voice Transmission Talisman is limited. I'll contact you again after I arrive."

Driven by spiritual power, the Talisman transformed into specks of light and dissipated.

Wang Mengde put away the remaining Voice Transmission Talisman and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Depart within one month.

Go to Azure Cliff Island.

Cultivating together with Qingyue.

Let's make a good improvement in our cultivation.

Wang Meng used his divine sense to probe his Storage Bag, taking stock of the pills and Talisman he possessed.

He only had two Essence-Nourishing Pills, two Grain Avoidance Pills, and nineteen Qi-Replenishing Pill on him.

The Talisman include four Tier 1 Advanced Attack Talisman and four Wind Blade Sky-Splitting Talisman.

Four Tier 1 Advanced Concealment Talisman and Invisibility Talisman.

Two Tier 1 Advanced Speed Talisman and Two Flowing Light Wave-Chasing Talisman.

Six Tier 2 Basic Speed Talisman and Wind Escape Talisman.

Two Tier 2 Basic Protection Talisman and two Golden Light Talisman.

"First-tier Talisman aren't very useful; only second-tier Talisman are useful. Second-tier Talisman consist of six Wind Escape Talisman and two Golden Light Talisman."

After pondering for a moment, Wang Mengde felt that the elixirs and Talisman were far from enough.

Although there are very few high-level Demon Fish in the sea areas under the jurisdiction of the Evergreen Sect.

Furthermore, the Evergreen Sect strictly forbids its cultivators from fighting and killing each other.

High-level Demon Fish are rare, but not nonexistent.

There are also quite a few cultivators who don't follow the rules.

It's always good to be extra careful at any time.

You should prepare more Talisman- defense.

Early the next morning.

Wang Mengde arrived at Dawn Glow Talisman Shop with practiced ease.

Behind the counter, a middle-aged monk dressed in brocade robes was carefully trimming his beard in front of a palm-sized bronze mirror.

That show-off.

Wang Mengde inwardly scoffed, but a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Li, you've gotten more and more handsome lately!"

"Haha." Manager Li laughed heartily, then stood up and stepped forward. "Brother Wang, you're here! Please come in, please come in. What brings you here today to patronize my business?"

Wang Mengde walked to the counter and, without beating around the bush, said directly:

"Brother Li, I need a batch of second-tier Talisman: five of each of the Talisman: Golden Light Talisman, Wind Escape Talisman, Lightness Talisman, Water Escape Talisman, and Ice Spike Talisman; and ten Thousand Thousand-Mile Wind-Riding Talisman."

Manager Li paused in his work, looked up, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"You need so many Tier 2 beginner-level Talisman?"

He then shrugged, somewhat helplessly, and said:

"Brother Wang, second-tier Talisman are extremely rare. My shop currently only has Lightness Talisman Wind Escape Talisman in stock."

The following four types of talismans are all out of stock: Golden Light Talisman, Water Escape Talisman, Ice Spike Talisman, and Thousand-Mile Wind-Riding Talisman.

Manager Li paused slightly, then continued:

"But if you really want it, you can pay a deposit first and I'll buy it for you. I've been in the Talisman business for decades, so I have some connections. It should arrive in seven or eight days at most."

Manager Li glanced at Wang Mengde and continued, "Brother Wang, let me give you a price first, so you'll have a general idea."

"Lightness Talisman, thirteen Spirit Stone per talisman."

"Wind Escape Talisman, one costs eighteen Spirit Stone."

"Ice Spike Talisman, one costs nineteen Spirit Stone."

"Golden Light Talisman, thirteen Spirit Stone per talisman."

"Water Escape Talisman, one forty-one Spirit Stone."

"Thousand-Mile Wind-Riding Talisman costs forty-two Spirit Stone."

Wang Mengde raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Why are these Water Escape Talisman and Thousand-Mile Wind-Riding Talisman so expensive?"

This is three times that of other first-tier Talisman.

Shopkeeper Li explained with a smile, "Naturally, it's because these two types of Talisman are the rarest."

Scarcity drives up value; these two types of Talisman are purchased at much higher prices than other Talisman.

Shopkeeper Li continued, "Brother Wang, don't worry, this is the market price. I didn't charge you an extra half a grain of Spirit Sand."

Besides, since you're Island Patrol Guards, I have to give you a 10% discount. All things considered, I don't make much money from this business at all; I'm just running errands for you, brother."

Wang Mengde smiled.

Manager Li is shrewd in business, but he's still quite reliable.

However, you should only take the "not making money" part with a grain of salt.

Anyone who believes that is brain-dead.

Wang Mengde said, "Purchase it for me as soon as possible, according to the quantity I just mentioned."

Manager Li nodded, then quickly calculated the result in his mind and said:

"The total is 795 Spirit Stone. After the 10% discount, it's 715 Spirit Stone. The deposit is 30% of the total price, so you only need to pay 214 Spirit Stone."

Wang Mengde secretly clicked his tongue in amazement; this batch of second-tier Talisman was truly outrageously expensive.

It should be noted that most Qi Refining Level 5 cultivators only earn a few hundred Spirit Stone a year.

This batch of Talisman is equivalent to two years' income for an average cultivator.

Wang Mengde nodded, took out 214 Spirit Stone from his Storage Bag, and piled them on the counter.
