Seeing Ye Li's strange expression, the appraiser surnamed Hu thought that he was dissatisfied with the price, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I know that the price I offered for purchasing the Earth-level External Talisman is a bit low, but there is a reason for this.
The power of the Earth-level Eight-Character External Talisman has surpassed that of the Profound-level Nine-Character External Talisman, and the consumption of spiritual energy is also much less than that of the Nine-Character External Talisman, so it is normal that the price is higher than that of the Profound-level Nine-Character External Talisman.
But if the price of this external talisman exceeds that of the Nine-Character External Talisman by much more, no one will buy it.
You should know that the purchase price of a nine-character yellow-level external talisman is only twelve low-grade spirit stones, and the mysterious level is only fifteen. We can give you eighteen for your earth-level external talisman, which is already the limit."
Ye Li knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, but he did not explain. He took a breath calmly, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said: "I am a frequent visitor of your pavilion. I trust you. I will take these external talismans at the price you gave me."
When the old man surnamed Hu heard that Ye Li agreed to his offer, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, sir. I have already counted these external symbols, and they are worth a total of 2,229 low-grade spirit stones. If you are willing, we can exchange the 2,000 low-grade spirit stones for 20 medium-grade spirit stones."
Although Ye Li knew that he had made a fortune this time, he did not expect to make so much. He used four mid-grade spirit stones, which was a cost of four hundred low-grade spirit stones, and made more than two thousand low-grade spirit stones. This was simply a huge profit.
Ye Li, whose hands and feet were shaking with excitement, took several deep breaths before calming down. After all, he was a child of an aristocratic family, and he couldn't act too ignorant.
"Okay, please exchange the hundreds of low-grade spirit stones for medium-grade spirit stones, and also bring me three hundred pieces of talisman paper and three sets of fire talisman ink materials."
Having tasted the sweetness, Ye Li would never let go of the cash cow of making external talismans.
A sufficient amount of spirit stones can provide him with enough resources for practice, which is one of the indispensable foundations of practice for any talisman master.
After returning to his own courtyard, Ye Li did not continue to make external talismans. His Extreme Flame Finger had reached a bottleneck. Before his speed of drawing talismans broke through to eighty-one strokes in a snap of his fingers, he would not be able to make any progress.
However, it is impossible to break through the limit of eighty-one finger strokes at the level of Spirit Gathering Stage. Even if the fingers can move fast enough, the speed of the spiritual power and spiritual energy cannot keep up.
There are still two days before the gambling match agreed with Zhao Wanyin. Ye Li plans to study the usage skills of the Extreme Flame Finger in these two days.
During his previous practice, he also discovered some drawbacks of this spell.
The attack range of the Extreme Flame Finger is too narrow. He would not dare to use it unless he was in a situation where he could absolutely hit the enemy, because the enemy could dodge his attack by just turning around slightly.
He also wanted to try to combine the Extreme Flame Finger with several other talismans he had practiced, perhaps to produce greater power.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the day that Ye Li and Zhao Wanyin had agreed upon.
Early in the morning, the Treasure Hunting Pavilion sent a waiter to look for Ye Li and brought him to the outside of the East City Gate, where a very luxurious carriage was waiting.
Leading Ye Li to the front of the carriage, the waiter said to the carriage: "Miss, Master Ye is here."
The carriage door was opened from the inside with a creaky sound, and Zhao Wanyin's charming face appeared behind the door. She was wearing a plain goose yellow long dress, and her hair hung on her shoulders like dark clouds, making her look less charming but more gentle.
When Zhao Wanyin saw Ye Li, she smiled brightly and said, "Ye Li, you're here. Hurry up and get in the car. We're going to Beihuang City now. The gambling arena is over there."
Ye Li didn't hesitate at all and stepped into the carriage and sat down.
The interior of the carriage was very spacious. Ye Li estimated that it could accommodate at least ten people. Although the carriage, which was constructed of precious mahogany and some kind of metal, did not have much decoration, it looked very simple and elegant.
The interior of the carriage is carved with various intricate runes, which must have extremely strong defensive capabilities.
"Ye Li, I heard that you are very talented in making external talismans. You made more than 220 external talismans out of 300 talisman papers, and even an earth-level eight-character spell."
After the two got on the carriage, it began to move steadily. Zhao Wanyin started chatting with Ye Li and asked.
Ye Li looked at Zhao Wanyin with some doubt and said, "Wanyin, how come you know all this information? You seemed to have received the news when I bought the Body Tempering Pill last time. Could it be that the guys in your Treasure Hunting Pavilion have already set their sights on me? Is there any conspiracy behind this?"
When he said the latter part, Ye Li showed a half-smile on his face, and looked at Zhao Wanyin meaningfully.
Zhao Wanyin's face flashed with embarrassment for a moment, but she immediately recovered and looked at Ye Li openly, throwing a coquettish look, and said: "It's because Ye Li, you are so outstanding that you attract my attention and make me want to keep an eye on your situation at any time.
Don't you see the shyness on my face, like a young girl in love?" After saying this, Zhao Wanyin deliberately showed a shy look, which combined with her beautiful appearance made Ye Li distracted for a moment.
Seeing Ye Li staring at her in a daze, Zhao Wanyin showed a smug look on her face, and said in a teasing tone: "I didn't expect that when I used the charm technique, Ye Li, you were almost unaffected. Now that I don't use the charm technique, you are staring at me in a trance."
Ye Li has regular features and a handsome face. Although he is not very old, there is a hint of heroic spirit between his brows. Zhao Wanyin blushed slightly after being stared at by him for a while.
Hearing Zhao Wanyin's teasing, Ye Li finally came to his senses and secretly cursed himself for being frivolous.
Zhao Wanyin put away her joking expression and said, "Ye Li, you were born with a strange phenomenon when you awakened your life talisman, and then you showed great potential and won the first place in the Ye family competition. Even old man Zhang praised you. Naturally, I will pay more attention to you. Please don't mind. I have no ill will towards you."
After hearing Zhao Wanyin's explanation, Ye Li nodded and said, "Wanyin, don't misunderstand me. I don't mind. Talking about conspiracy is just a joke."
In fact, Ye Li had already guessed the other party's intention of paying attention to him, just like when he was refining the Red Flame Pill before, the other party took the initiative to show goodwill and make friends with him. Far-sighted children from aristocratic families will pay great attention to the discovery and gathering of talents.
After the two of them explained, they got along more naturally. Zhao Wanyin asked, "Ye Li, are you confident about this bet? We have already confirmed the other party's identity. It is Zhang Xun, a descendant of the Zhang family in Beihuang City.
This person is no simple matter. Like you, he is the champion of the Zhang family's Gathering Spirit Competition. He is unruly, cruel and warlike by nature, and has great prestige among his peers in the family.
You have to be careful when fighting him. Every time you fight with him, your opponent will basically be seriously injured or even killed. He strikes very hard."
