“It looks like it’s starting to snow again.” Qiao Mu caught a glistening snowflake and looked up at Mo Lian.
“Mhm.” He took her pet.i.te hand and took out an oilpaper umbrella from his inner world with his other hand. He put it up above them and looked down at her with a smile. “Are you feeling cold?”
“I’m not cold at all!”
“Okay, okay, okay, my Qiaoqiao is in the peak of health!” Mo Lian squeezed her pet.i.te hand and stopped in front of a shop. “Do you want to go inside and check it out?”
!!
Qiao Mu looked up and saw the gold-lettered signboard indicating that this was a talisman shop. There was a bustling crowd inside.
“Mhm!” The little fellow’s interest was piqued.
She had always wanted to gauge the talisman-crafting skill in each domain.
Back on Sikong Planet, only the talismans that the talisman patrician family’s Mu Jingrui had crafted caught her fancy. The others were meh…
The little fellow walked in front excitedly while still holding tightly to Mo Lian.
The crown prince followed along. He turned his head slowly, and his phoenix eyes flashed sharply when he glanced at the end of the street.
There was a busy flow of people inside the talisman shop. All the customers who pa.s.sed by Qiao Mu and Mo Lian were happily holding small exquisite boxes.
Mo Lian removed the little fellow’s hood and took off her cloak.
This revealed a delicate and fair face. She was looking straight at him with round eyes.
Sigh, she was getting prettier and prettier. He remembered that the first time they met, the seven-year-old child was so malnourished that she looked like a five year old.
With the sunlight’s nurturing, this small flower was now blossoming gracefully…
He caressed her pet.i.te face, and his phoenix eyes curved into a smile.
For a moment, the bustling customers in the shop were drawn by the couple’s graceful bearing.
Until—
“A yellow-rank defensive talisman matrix, everybody come and look!” A shout came from the second-floor railing.
The customers on the first floor all looked up. In front of the shop a.s.sistant who had shouted for everyone’s attention was an array of 128 yellow talismans that formed a circular defensive talisman matrix.
“This type of defensive talisman matrix can block the attacks of a level-four spiritual cultivator and below for at least five minutes!”
“This defensive talisman matrix set can be reused three times and more! Until all the talisman energy is used up! What is everyone still hesitating for? The starting bid is 8000 spirit currency, and each bid increase is 100 spirit currency. Those who want to buy can start now!”
“Eight thousand one hundred!”
“Eight thousand two hundred!”
“Eight thousand five hundred!”
Everybody was looking up and pointing as they discussed with each other in low voices. They were all exhilarated.
Qiao Mu was at a loss for words as she looked at that defensive talisman matrix formed by yellow talismans. She mused. Was this the difference?
These talismans circulating on the market were basically crafted from talisman paper. Even ebony talismans were not often seen. No, she had yet to see them.
Actually, even though jade talismans were said to be rare, she had at least seen those before. Could it be that people simply didn’t know ebony to be a suitable material?
Qiao Mu found it a bit absurd watching them fighting for this lousy defensive talisman matrix.
A yellow-rank defensive talisman matrix formed from 128 yellow talismans… could only defend for five minutes. What kind of joke was this?
“This talisman matrix was crafted by Master Jiang Hong!”
“Too incredible!”
“I heard that the master took infinite pains to draw this talisman matrix over three months’ time!”
Qiao Mu only felt a boulder crus.h.i.+ng down on her pet.i.te head…
