Chapter 9, Dazzling Wealth

Li Hui was in high spirits because there were two small pockets placed together with the money symbol in the third package

These empty embroidery symbols are a legend to Li Hui

Good stuff, it is blood ink, it is definitely blood ink

Each money symbol can be exchanged for one tael of dragon scale gold. Although Li Hui manages the external accounts, he has only seen the actual items twice, which demonstrates the preciousness of this symbol, equivalent to a banknote

May heaven bless that it is not just a fleeting joy

Fabricating stories to deceive Brother Zheng and his group, rashly befriending Brother Cheng in exchange for six chain links, the silver snake bracelet devoured all the three-patterned and below magical artifacts of the Jade Talisman Sect, and in the account room, it also consumed the ancient bronze bell that the old miser used to store ill-gotten gains. Of course, the most important items lay within four packages

Li Hui still possesses some discernment. Over the past few years, he has devoted considerable effort to the art of talisman crafting. Although he has yet to produce even half a talisman, he understands that this is closely related to his own limited cultivation level

Indeed, whether it is the silver talisman or the gold talisman, they are merely currencies used by practitioners in the Spirit Movement and Spirit Gathering stages. At higher levels, they will use the exquisite jade imbued with spiritual energy

"Wait a moment, could this be blood ink? It can replace high-quality vermilion." Li Hui was astonished, picking up two pieces of bloodstone carved with special patterns and examining them closely

The more one knows the inside story, the closer one is to disaster

Like the first wooden box, each wooden box contains a sealed magical artifact, specifically a long whip and a jade disc, both of which are covered in cracks and have lost their spiritual essence

Inside the box lay a palm-sized bronze mirror, its surface adorned with three talismans embroidered with intricate patterns. Observing the purple runes on the surface, it appears to be a type of forbidden spell talisman, also known as a sealing talisman.

It was truly thrilling

Such strong spiritual energy

From this perspective, the gains seem considerable; however, the bronze mirror, long whip, and jade bi are likely to belong to high-level artifacts. The comparison between the two causes Li Hui to feel a deep sense of pain, a profound pain.

The three forbidden talismans are intact and undamaged, with the back of the talismans displaying seven vein-like cracks. A slight probing with hand gestures reveals that they can suppress a variety of powers

Fortunately, in the second package, in addition to two wooden boxes, there is also a stack of beautiful silver paper

The Void Embroidery Talisman is not something that disciples in the Spirit Movement Stage have the opportunity to come into contact with; in fact, many inner disciples who have reached the Gathering Spirit Stage are also not qualified to use it. Only those who have reached the Condensing Origin Stage and become true disciples, after entering the inner sanctum, can receive a quota, yet even then, they cannot use it freely

The nine patterns of the spirit talisman correspond to the Spirit Movement Stage. The three mutations following the nine patterns correspond to the Spirit Gathering Stage. However, this is only for a single spirit talisman; most of the time, the power relies on the accumulation of a large number of low-level spirit talismans. Above the spirit talismans are the treasure talismans, which Li Hui has never seen. Even when the inner disciples conduct the morning lessons, he has not seen a single one brought out for appreciation.

Money symbols? So many money symbols?

A total of more than 500 pieces of talismans, as thin as gold leaf, are bundled together, each approximately the size of an adult's palm. This is the hard currency frequently used in transactions by spiritual practitioners and those who gather spiritual energy, known as money talismans

To create talismans, in addition to talisman paper and cinnabar, one also needs a high-quality talisman brush. This talisman brush, which Jin has been collecting, appears ordinary, yet it is kept in a crystal box, indicating its significance

Is it a silver coin?'' Li Hui's mood instantly improved

The silver money talisman, as the name suggests, is a banknote used by cultivators. Beneath the silver money talisman, there is also the copper money talisman, where each copper money talisman can be exchanged for one tael of wind-ground copper, while each silver money talisman can be exchanged for one tael of frost-silver.

Li Hui felt a complex mix of emotions. He believed that damaging the ancient bronze bell and taking the items hidden within it constituted theft. However, considering Jin's continuous wrongdoing and the origins of these items, he felt that he had not done anything wrong.

Previously, there were four accountants in this position, three of whom were unjustly blamed by Jin Butuan, while the fourth accountant met a more tragic fate, dying under mysterious circumstances

Hehe, two hundred and thirty-seven pieces, that's amazing. Where did Old Jin get so many empty embroidery talismans? A certain young handsome man had his eyes filled with golden light, feeling happiness wash over him

There are also two pieces of redstone here

The first package contains not only more than two hundred sheets of blank talisman paper and two blocks of blood ink, but also a wooden box crafted from yellow pear wood

Is this the empty embroidery talisman

It has developed; this is a talisman, which requires very low cultivation to use, yet its power is astonishingly extraordinary

Upon opening the second package, he felt quite distressed, as he encountered two yellow pear wood boxes.

See what there is

Li Hui was not frowning because of the three forbidden talismans; the chain could not hold the magical artifacts. This copper mirror, which had been sealed, was covered in cracks, clearly having been poisoned by the silver snake bracelet before being packed away.

Two hundred thirty-seven empty embroidery talismans, two pieces of blood ink, ten forbidden law talismans, fifty-eight silver money talismans, five hundred sixty-six gold money talismans, along with two small bags containing a total of thirty-six exquisite jade beads, this is the harvest from the three packages

The pen is mottled and at least two hundred years old, yet it remains intact without any damage. Due to long-term immersion in cinnabar or blood ink, the tip of the pen has turned red, and there is even a tendency for it to shift towards purple.

Good symbol pen

Oh my God! Is all of this a dream? Haven't I woken up yet?" Li Hui shook his head vigorously, giving himself confidence and courage, clenched his fist and pressed it against the bracelet. After four soft sounds of "puff puff," a blue package fell into his arms.

As he opened the third package, Li Hui's breathing became rapid

"I struck it rich; just this pen alone has brought in a fortune." He cheered inwardly, but when he recognized the two objects beneath the crystal box, he could only feel his heart racing; those were two talismans.

Even facing thousands of troops on the battlefield, it cannot compare to the risks taken in just two hours today

These blank talisman papers are exceptionally exquisite, woven from gold and silver threads, resembling embroidery more than talisman paper. When held between the fingers, they emit a faint, refreshing fragrance that is soothing to the heart and mind

Finally back. Li Hui's legs trembled as he sat on the wooden bed, taking a while to recover, and only then did his pale face show a hint of color.

Li Hui carefully opened the package, and the first thing that caught his eye was a stack of blank symbol paper

This bronze mirror is certainly not ordinary, no wonder the silver snake bracelet suddenly absorbed so much brilliance from the bronze bell, it turns out there are magical artifacts within the bronze bell

This is Miao Yu? Li Hui could not imagine this, as Miao Yu belongs to a realm beyond cognition, something that cannot be measured in concrete monetary terms, because with his current cultivation, he is still unable to reach that level

Alright, let's take a look at the fourth package. When Li Hui opened the fourth package, the first thing that caught his eye was a crystal-crafted pen case

Drenched in this day after day, one naturally understands what it means for the pen's stroke to change from red to purple; it is the supreme opportunity to become the Purple Qi Symbol Pen in the future

From these two wooden boxes, seven forbidden law talismans were obtained, along with the three previously acquired, making a total of ten talismans

After opening the box lid, Li Hui frowned slightly

Returned!

From the pocket, a dozen or so large cow-eye gemstones were poured out, some blue, some green, and some red. Without any deliberate effort to sense them, a wave of spiritual energy rushed forth, refreshing the mind and spirit.

Jin is being excessively stingy; if he were a bit more generous, my cultivation would not be at a standstill, and I would not have to find ways to earn money on my own
