Like many people who swell with pride and reveal their true intentions after receiving some form of achievement and flattery from friends, their demeanor becomes less pleasing.
But Friend Gao always remained the same, which was indeed rare.
His demeanor indicated his genuine qualities and his authentic character.
…
“Elder Brother Gao, do you have any old magic artifacts you wish to dispose of?
Recently there has been unrest in the neighboring area, now the prices of magic artifacts and talismans are rising.
...
It’s quite a suitable time to sell them!”
When passing in front of a magic artifact shop, Chen Dengming was stopped by the storekeeper at the entrance.
“Oh?
Has the price increased that much?”
Chen Dengming stopped in his tracks and asked with interest.
He still had high-ranking magic artifacts, some medium-ranking ones, and storage bags from the Fish Cultivator that he hadn’t dealt with.
He thought of disposing of them some time ago but feared that bringing out so many magic artifacts all at once could raise suspicions.

After all, having so many magic artifacts and storage bags, including high-ranking ones, would undoubtedly lead anyone who was not a fool to think that something could be amiss.
He might even be suspected of killing and looting.
As a foreigner intending to join the Changchun Sect through Li Rong, he shouldn’t be too ostentatious, thus he didn’t sell them at that time.
Thinking like this, he missed Qiangzi and Chu Xun even more.
During his cultivation period, it was much easier with these two helping him handle various matters.
“Of course, the prices have increased a lot, up by almost 20%.
Come, let’s talk inside.”
Seeing that Chen Dengming seemed interested, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him warmly as he was aware of his capabilities.
However, Chen Dengming laughed and said, “No, the magic artifacts I have are for my personal use.
I don’t have any treasures to sell.”
A 20% increase, what a joke.
Even if it were true, he wouldn’t sell them at a magic artifact store.
All cultivators who frequently sell magic artifacts know that the buy-back price at magic artifact stores is much lower than selling them independently.
Even a 20% increase is meaningless.
Seeing that Chen Dengming was about to leave, the owner immediately called out again, “Friend Gao, do you need blank talismans?
With the recent increase in talisman prices, you could take advantage of this and craft some high-ranking talismans for sale.”
“No, no!”
Chen Dengming waved his hand, gave a smiling wave of his sleeve, and left.
Learning about talismans, he once had such a thought.
But after thinking about it, he decided against it.
On ordinary days, his cultivation time is counted down to the last second.
He has just enough time to fight demonic beasts for real-world training, or wander around gathering intelligence from the Four Oceans; that’s already fulfilling enough.
The matter of talismans can be put on hold until he has more time and opportunities.
He isn’t like the protagonists in novels from his previous life, understanding everything…
talismans, artifact refining, feng shui, formations, and the likes, claiming to be omnipotent.
Actually, all are nonsense.
Just cultivating the Daoism every day, he wished he could split himself into two.
Where could he find so much energy to learn many things?
Once Chen Dengming left…
The owner’s smile disappeared, he returned to the room and whispered to someone.
“You saw and heard it.”
“Hmm.
I saw it, I heard it.
So, ever since this little Gao came to Everjoy District, he hasn’t sold any magic artifacts or anything?”
“No, he’s just a demonic beast hunter.
His livelihood relies on hunting and selling demonic beast meat, just a pure meat seller.
But indeed, he is generous, often sharing demonic beast meat with his neighbors.
As I’ve heard, he even raises an eighth level qi cultivated Black Cloud Leopard in the mountains outside.
He regularly brings some demonic beast meat and nourishment for that creature.
He treats the Black Cloud Leopard like his own son, he really is quite fond of it.
He’s such a good person.”
“Hmm…
you’re saying quite well.
A man might deceive others but wouldn’t deceive a creature.
He hasn’t even learned talismans; he seems very pure.”
The person speaking seemed satisfied and paused before stating.
“Old Wu, your Wu family could do with more men like him.
Remember this.”
The owner’s eyes flickered, and he immediately saluted.
…
In the evening.
As if a greyish-black net was gently cast down, twilight arrived quietly.
After preparing the nourishing food for the Black Cloud Leopard in the vat, Chen Dengming was about to set off for the wilderness to visit his pet, the Black Leopard.
The formation in the courtyard was triggered; someone was knocking at the door.
When he went out to open the door, he was surprised to find that the visitor was actually Li Rong.
“Friend Gao, I hope my late visit didn’t disturb you?”
Li Rong greeted with a smile and a fist.
Chen Dengming immediately made a welcoming gesture and laughed, “What disturbance?
Friend Li, you are welcome any time.
As long as I am at home, feel free to make yourself comfortable here.”
With an awkward laugh, Li Rong entered the room and said, “Look at you, you’re always being so polite.
It makes me feel embarrassed.”
“Ah, don’t be so formal.
Come, have a seat.
Would you like a cup of tea?”
“No, no!
I’ve been meaning to visit you for a long time, and last time when many neighbors gave you gifts, I didn’t.
I hope you don’t mind?”
“What are you talking about, Li Dao You?
Is that the kind of person I am?”
Seeing Chen Dengming bustling around to serve tea and remaining as courteous as ever, Li Rong felt entirely at ease.
His entire body relaxed, the tension that he didn’t realize he was holding onto releasing.
Then, with a smile, he took out a jade talisman route guide from his bosom and said,
“Friend Gao, although this congratulatory gift of mine is late, I hope you find it useful and to your liking.”
