No wonder this female cultivator was so surprised; Chu Ning had simply brought out too many talismans.
Chu Ning divided them into two piles: Basic Upper Grade Talismans and Basic Middle Grade Talismans.
Each stack looked like it contained several hundred talismans.
These were naturally accumulated by Chu Ning over time, with the Basic Middle Grade Talismans exceeding 800 sheets.
And the Basic Upper Grade Talismans reached 450 sheets after rushing out a batch yesterday.
At this moment, this Female Cultivator Zhang finally understood why Chu Ning had previously asked about confidentiality.
After all, the combined value of these talismans was not low.
She casually picked up a Basic Upper Grade Flowing Ice Shield Talisman, a trace of amazement flashing in her eyes.
"Such high-quality defense talismans."
Even the more difficult defense talismans were of such quality; she didn’t need to imagine the others, as they must be of equal quality.
Female Cultivator Zhang looked up at Chu Ning, a smile on her face, and said:
"I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Li is also a Basic Upper Grade Talisman Master."
Being able to take out so many talismans at once, she didn’t need to think twice to know that these talismans were definitely made by the cultivator in front of her.
And being capable of making such high-quality Basic Upper Tier Talismans, he was undoubtedly a Basic Upper Grade Talisman Master.
Upon hearing these words from Female Cultivator Zhang, Chu Ning’s forehead slightly furrowed, and his expression showed a hint of displeasure.
Female Cultivator Zhang quickly realized her faux pas, promptly apologizing:
"I was presumptuous."
After she finished, she immediately restrained her expression and began counting the talismans Chu Ning had placed on the table.
"Yin Thunder Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Qi Concealing Talisman, Earth Escape Talisman, Trapped Beast Talisman, Clear Wind Talisman, 140 each.
Red Flame Talisman, Cloud Soaring Talisman, Flowing Ice Shield Talisman, 150 each."
Female Cultivator Zhang quickly reported the quantity of the talismans and then looked at Chu Ning.
"Fellow Daoist, please confirm if the quantity is correct?"
"Hmm, no problem," Chu Ning replied.
A smile reappeared on Female Cultivator Zhang’s face.
"Fellow Daoist Li, the quality of these talismans is very high, and the quantity is large, so I can appropriately raise the prices a bit.
Yin Thunder Talisman, Qi Concealing Talisman, Clear Wind Talisman are each calculated at 490 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and Earth Escape Talisman, Beast Trapping Talisman are calculated at 588 Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
The Vajra Talisman is calculated at 686 Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
Upon hearing these prices, Chu Ning quickly calculated in his mind and found that the price offered was about seventy percent of his sale price.
Chu Ning didn’t feel too bad about it, as placing these talismans in his own Spirit Talisman Workshop could take a long time to sell.
He listened without expression as Female Cultivator Zhang pointed to the Basic Upper Grade Talismans Chu Ning brought.
"For these Basic Upper Grade Talismans, I can offer even higher prices.
Red Flame Talisman and Cloud Soaring Talisman at 16 Spirit Stones each, totaling 2,400 Spirit Stones.
Flowing Ice Shield Talisman at 20 Spirit Stones each, totaling 3,000 Spirit Stones."
Chu Ning calculated again; these Basic Upper Grade Talismans were calculated at eighty percent.
This ratio was indeed higher.
However, losing 5 Spirit Stones per talisman still made him feel a bit pained.
With a slight thought, Chu Ning directly took back the 450 Basic Upper Grade Talismans.
"Then I’ll just sell these Basic Middle Grade Talismans."
Female Cultivator Zhang promptly said, "Wait, what does Fellow Daoist Li mean by this?"
Chu Ning glanced at her before slowly speaking:
"You earn 5 Spirit Stones per talisman from me; this price is pressed too hard."
Nonetheless, Female Cultivator Zhang’s smile remained on her face.
"Fellow Daoist Li, although the Spirit Stones are slightly fewer, I offered a ten percent greater return than the Basic Middle Grade Talismans."
"However, these Basic Upper Grade Talismans sell even better than Basic Middle Grade Talismans at your Cloud Sea Pavilion.
And considering the quality of my talismans, I’m confident they’re top-level even in your place.
If you accept 17 Spirit Stones and 22 Spirit Stones respectively, I’ll sell."
Upon hearing these words, a wry smile appeared on Female Cultivator Zhang’s face.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you certainly have a keen sense for business, this...
Alright, originally this would require the elders of the pavilion to decide, but I will take the responsibility."
After saying this, Female Cultivator Zhang started calculating.
"Demon Beast Materials, 1,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, Middle Grade Talismans, 1,764 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, Upper Grade Talismans, 8,400 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.
The total is 11,164 Lower Grade Spirit Stones."
"Exceeds ten thousand Spirit Stones!" Chu Ning couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He had some other items he could sell, such as a few magical artifacts he obtained from Boss Liu and his group.
And he had acquired an Earth Spirit Crystal from the Blood Spot One-Horned Ape’s cave, as well as three Seven-Star Spirit Fruits left after consuming them.
However, these items were either too sensitive to deal with or like the Earth Spirit Crystal, he wanted to keep and see if they would have any use in the future.
So for now, Chu Ning decided to let it go.
Otherwise, adding them together would increase the amount even more.
As Chu Ning thought this over, Female Cultivator Zhang’s smiling voice rang out again.
"Fellow Daoist Li, for these Spirit Stones, would you like them directly, or do you prefer to purchase something first?"
"I’d like to buy something first," Chu Ning immediately replied.
The reason he came to Wind Gorge Square, besides selling these talismans, was to acquire some urgently needed items.
With a sweet smile, Female Cultivator Zhang said:
"Certainly, if Fellow Daoist has any needs, please let me know, and I will make arrangements to help gather them for you."
