Chapter 140: Demon Hunting Club
Hou Haitao looked at Bai Yu eagerly:
"Junior Brother Bai, how many spiritual talismans are you going to sell this time?"
In the past few years, Bai Yu was too lazy to sell the talismans himself, so he gave them all to Hou Haitao for resale.
Hou Haitao is a kind person. He can sell out the magic talismans steadily every time and earn a lot of hard money.
But with this hard-earned money, his life was better than before.
Bai Yu took out a bag of talisman papers and said:
"I guess there are about a hundred of them. This time they are all quicksand talismans and earth thorn talismans."
Hou Haitao beamed with joy and praised repeatedly:
"It's only been a few months and there are so many talismans."
"Junior Brother Bai, your talisman-making skills are already outstanding among second-grade talisman masters."
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"No, no, it's just that I'm willing to spend time."
If Hou Haitao knew that Bai Yu had already deducted two-thirds of the magic talismans, he would have to scare his jaw off.
Regarding various low-level spiritual talismans, Bai Yu's success rate is higher than that of fifth- and sixth-level talisman masters.
In order not to attract attention, he kept his annual income from selling talismans to about five hundred spiritual stones.
This is very reasonable for a second-level Talisman Master.
Hou Haitao took the bag, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"Junior Brother Bai, can I ask you a favor?"
Bai Yu's heart moved:
"What's the deal? Senior Brother Hou just said it's okay."
Hou Haitao:
"I have a friend who wants to hire a talisman master to refine some special talismans."
"The requirements for these talismans are relatively high. Generally speaking, a third-grade talisman master can be used to refine them. However, we are all ordinary monks. How can we hire a third-grade talisman master?"
"After much thought, only Junior Brother Bai is most likely to succeed."
Monks with special skills generally have a relatively transcendent status.
If you are a third-level Talisman Master, you still have to give him some face even in the foundation building stage.
Bai Yu said:
"I wonder what spiritual talisman you want to refine, senior brother?"
Hou Haitao casually arranged a soundproof cover around him:
"The middle-grade Xuan-level fog-raising talisman, the shadowless talisman, and the high-grade Xuan-level golden gun talisman."
Bai Yu muttered:
"I have never practiced these talismans, so I cannot guarantee the success rate."
Hou Haitao said hurriedly:
"Don't worry, junior brother, I understand the rules. I will prepare the talisman paper, spirit ink and corresponding talisman book."
"If the refining goes well, we don't dare to ask for more. We only need thirty talismans out of a total of 200 talismans, and I will handle the rest by myself. Even if the refining fails, we will never dare to complain."
"In addition, for each spiritual talisman, I will give my junior brother ten spiritual stones as retouching fee."
This condition can be described as generous to the point of being a bit humble.
It was like kneeling down to beg for food. For this, Hou Haitao still had to thank Bai Yu.
There is no way around it. No matter which world you are in, people with skills and abilities are in high demand.
As long as you are capable enough, even a general will hold an umbrella for you.
Bai Yu thought for a moment.
If you accept this request, you will not only get a sum of spiritual stones, but also three brand-new talismans.
In particular, there is a high-grade Xuan-level golden gun talisman.
He just needs a high-grade talisman to become a third-grade talisman master.
"Okay, I agreed, but I agreed in advance that senior brother can't blame me if I fail."
Hou Haitao said with great joy:
"How could that be? Junior brother, you have done me a great favor."
"By the way, these talismans also have some special requirements..."
After a conversation, Bai Yu took a storage bag and asked Hou Haitao to pick up the magic talisman in a month.
After talking about this, Bai Yu was not in a hurry to leave.
He also arrived at the pavilion and began to participate in the gathering.
Many people greeted Bai Yu one after another.
"Junior Brother Bai"
"White Talisman Master"
"Brother Xiaobai"
Bai Yu smiled and nodded in reply.
Members of the Tianqin Society discuss their cultivation experiences, exchange information and materials, etc. here every month.
Half a day later, Bai Yu bought several hundred kilograms of monster meat and then flew away.
When Hou Haitao saw it, he couldn't help but pull Bai Yu to give him some advice.
He told Bai Yu to practice seriously and not to indulge in food and drink.
After finally getting rid of Hou Haitao, Bai Yu returned to Zuowang Peak.
Sitting in front of Wangfeng, Lu Beichen and Shi Jian were playing chess.
Lu Beichen was in charge, and it seemed that he was killed by Shi Jian and was thrown into disgrace.
Bai Yu smiled and said:
"Oh, you guys figured it out, I'm going to make hot pot, and I just happened to be here."
Shi Jian said:
"That...that's really great. We are...so blessed. Brother Bai's hand...craftsmanship is unparalleled."
Lu Beichen took the opportunity to disrupt the chess game:
"We had hot pot and played hammer chess. Hot pot started."
"I'll chop the vegetables, and Shitou will get the wine and seasonings."
Not long after, the steaming hot pot was served.
The beef bone is cut as thin as paper, and mixed with various fungus and wild vegetables. The aroma is so fragrant that it makes people want to eat.
Lu Beichen picked up a chopstick of beef, stuffed it into his mouth eagerly, and was so satisfied.
Not to be outdone, Bai Yu and others began to rob.
Three people and one dog ate heartily.
After drinking for three rounds, Bai Yu said:
"Are you afraid that something might happen if you come here at this time?"
Lu Beichen smiled and said:
"You really guessed it right. Five months later, the Dragon and Tiger Club, which is the sect competition, will be changed to the Demon Hunting Club."
"A group of three will go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to hunt monsters. We're missing someone, so I decided it would be you."
Bai Yu secretly thought strangely.
After new disciples enter the sect, there is a small competition every year and a big competition every five years, which is also called the Dragon and Tiger Competition.
In previous years, it was a ring competition, why did it change to a monster hunting competition this time?
Lu Beichen snorted coldly:
"Shitou and I came to invite you specially, and advise you not to be ungrateful, otherwise I will... kneel down and beg you."
Bai Yu said:
"With the conditions of the two of you, can you still lack accomplices? I will not participate in this monster hunting meeting."
Shi Jian said:
"The head of the sect has ordered that all disciples must participate in this... monster hunting meeting."
"And brother Bai, you are a second-grade talisman master with many talismans, which will definitely help."
"If... if you can get a good ranking, you can get a generous reward, and... you may also become an inner disciple."
Bai Yu knew that Shi Jian and Lu Beichen wanted to help him.
If everyone wants to participate, it will be much more reassuring to go with them.
And don't look at Lu and Shi, one is at the ninth level of Qi Refining and the other is at the eighth level.
Bai Yu asked himself, if he could use his full strength, he would definitely not hold them back.
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said:
"Since you have begged me sincerely, I will reluctantly agree to your request."
Lu Beichen laughed and said:
"I have been waiting for you to say this. The three of us will definitely kill them."
"Come on, Lao Bai, cut another ten pounds of beef."
The three of them talked about a lot of things and ate and drank until midnight.
On the bed, Bai Yu thought to himself:
"It is very unusual that participation in this competition is mandatory."
"So, Senior Brother Hou asked me to draw talismans, is it also related to this demon hunting meeting?"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Finally, he made a decision. Since he couldn't refuse, he had to make some perfect preparations.
At least he had to keep a dozen tricks.
