Chapter 361: Chapter 155: The Deal, Qingyuan Sect Cultivators, and the Dissipation of Toxic Miasma in Divine Wind Valley_4

When I heard she was giving it to you, I was actually very against it and even scolded her severely.

Then, perhaps to reassure me and prove that her choice was right, she mentioned the talisman you gave her.

At the time, I didn’t think much about the summoning talisman she mentioned, but until recently, I accidentally discovered the talisman sold in the black market by ’Ascendant Feng Hua’ matched the one you gave Xiaoyue, and only then did I make the connection."

Shen Xinyue quickly added, perhaps fearing Zhou Changwang’s misunderstanding: "Don’t worry, Xiaoyue only mentioned it casually and didn’t leak it on purpose.

It’s all unrelated to her."

"I know."

Zhou Changwang nodded, naturally not blaming anyone for this.

He understood Qian Xiaoyue’s thoughts.

She had spent almost all her spirit stones to buy the Communication Treasure Mirror and gave it to him directly. To prove she was right, it was quite normal to show a few of the talismans he sent back.

After all, Shen Xinyue treated her extremely well and was someone she trusted greatly.

"So, the reason I revealed your identity this time was not out of malice.

I was just wondering if you could also supply some talismans for our Shuiyun Pavilion to sell?

Rest assured, this matter will be handled only between you and me, and no one else will know.

How about it?"

Shen Xinyue spoke again sincerely.

"Okay!"

Zhou Changwang was silent for a moment before speaking.

In fact, he had anticipated this point before yesterday.

After all, Shen Xinyue could be said to be the most understanding of him in the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, besides Qian Xiaoyue.

Previously, to not reveal his strength, he had demonstrated the method of sealing a spiritual talisman. If she wasn’t foolish, she would naturally deduce his hidden identity.

For this reason, he had actually made some preparations.

His delay in coming to the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace was because of this.

Fortunately, Shen Xinyue’s attitude was still kind, and she didn’t resort to coercion or incentives, so he naturally didn’t need to turn hostile and prepare to flee immediately.

Of course, there were plenty of risks. If other forces pressured Shen Xinyue to reveal his identity, he’d be passive.

But he thought, with his current skills, he could handle general cultivators, and those in the Foundation Establishment Realm probably wouldn’t care about this small profit.

Nor would they pressure Shuiyun Pavilion or Shen Xinyue for low-tier talismans.

After all, Shuiyun Pavilion wasn’t a small rootless force; it had the backing of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect.

In terms of strength, it was even more formidable than Qingyuan Sect.

Thus, they discussed matters related to talismans.

In the end, Zhou Changwang agreed to provide Shen Xinyue with ten Sealing Thunder Talismans, one hundred Mao Jiang Talismans, fifty Evil-faced Ghost Talismans, and fifty Mountain Ghost Exorcism Talismans each month.

The order was comparable to that of the previous cultivator’s request.

It’s just that the price was naturally cheaper.

Others paid thirty thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

But for Shen Xinyue, it was twenty-eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Shen Xinyue was quite satisfied with this.

These talismans, while not extremely famous in the entire Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, were indeed well-known among a circle of cultivators.

Once they began public sales in Shuiyun Pavilion, it would certainly attract many cultivators to purchase them.

Naturally, it could also boost other business within Shuiyun Pavilion.

"By the way, when I entered the marketplace today, I found it much busier, even with many Qingyuan Sect disciples present.

Did something happen recently in the marketplace?"

With curiosity, Zhou Changwang asked.

"Indeed.

There have been a lot more people in the marketplace recently.

Not just the Qingyuan Sect, but also the Immortal Flower Sect, Shuiyue Cave, all have sent disciples here.

As for surrounding family forces, loose cultivators, even more so."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyue nodded and then said softly, "Because the poisonous mist in Divine Wind Valley is about to disperse."

"The poisonous mist in Divine Wind Valley is about to disperse?

Are all these people planning to enter the Divine Wind Valley?"

Zhou Changwang was startled but quickly reacted.

Previously, when he came over from Fengming Village Marketplace with Shen Xinyue and others, he had heard that people like Gong Bai Xue and Wenren Xiu came together adventurously not just to avoid trouble but because of the hunt after the poisonous mist in Divine Wind Valley disperses.

The Divine Wind Valley had long been shrouded in thick fog and poisonous gases for years.

Even ordinary low-tier cultivators or late-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners would find it perilous to venture deep.

They must always use antitoxic pills, detoxification talismans, and similar treasures for detoxification to ensure some safety while also guarding against countless demon beasts.

Reportedly, venturing over ten miles inside, even Foundation Establishment Realm experts, if they stayed too long, would fall into a coma, making it extremely dangerous.

But once every ten years, the poisonous mist inside Divine Wind Valley will dissipate once.

The danger is greatly reduced then, making it an excellent opportunity for countless cultivators to venture in and make gains.

Thus, there’s this so-called Divine Wind Valley hunt.

"Exactly.

Half a month ago, Divine Wind Valley trembled for the first time, dispersing some of the fog.

Some eager cultivators have already ventured into Divine Wind Valley for exploration.

In the next one or two months, the entire mist inside Divine Wind Valley should completely clear.

Only its deepest parts will retain some.

By then, it will be the opportunity for many cultivators to enter Divine Wind Valley on a large scale.

That’s when the sect disciples and family cultivators will enter en masse."

Shen Xinyue said with emotion.

"Isn’t it said that entering the Divine Wind Valley has restrictions?

Even normally, you need to pay an entry fee of ten lower-grade spirit stones to be allowed inside."

Zhou Changwang has stayed in the marketplace for several months now.

He naturally understood some of the rules of Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.

For example, the entrance to Divine Wind Valley is actually on the hill behind the marketplace.

It’s always been guarded by market guards and family elites dispatched by the Workshop Master’s clan influence.

Any cultivator who wishes to enter or exit must provide an entry spirit stone.

Over a year, it generates at least hundreds of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones for the Workshop Master.

Of course, from other places, one could enter Divine Wind Valley, but that requires a long detour and is far more hazardous.

It’s better to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones and enter safely through the main road.

"Indeed.

The entrances are sealed off at the moment.

Those who entered early took advantage of entering before the gates were sealed.

Now, any cultivator wishing to enter must wait until the poison mist fully disperses.

Moreover, the Workshop Master has imposed limits.

Each force will get a few spots.

But the total won’t exceed a thousand.

We, from Shuiyun Pavilion, considered a significant faction at the marketplace, got only twelve spots.

Originally, Senior Sister Tang was supposed to lead a team inside for treasure hunting and exploration.

But Senior Sister returned to the sect for a Foundation Establishment Pill for her Foundation Establishment process and is now staying in the sect.

Regardless of success or not, it’ll take her at least two or three years to return.

So, this time it’ll be me leading the team into Divine Wind Valley."

Shen Xinyue did not hide this and spoke openly.
