“Wait a moment…” a voice suddenly interrupted the woman’s words. An old man, appearing to be over seventy, walked over and continued,
“May I have a look at your talismans?”
Lin Feng turned back to the woman and asked,
“Big sister, do you want the talismans? If you do, they’re yours. If not, I’ll let this elder have a look.”
“Yes, of course I want them. I want the talismans, and I want that pill too,” the woman quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly said,
“Miss, could you let me see it first?”
Hearing the old man’s words, the woman reluctantly handed over the talisman she was holding.
The old man took it, looked at it, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which grew brighter and brighter.
After a while, he said,
“Miss, could you sell this talisman to this old monk? I’ll give you two hundred thousand.”
“What?”
Not only the woman but everyone around was stunned.
To be honest, everything Lin Feng had sold so far was bought because of its quality or for peace of mind. Why was this old man buying it?
The alluring woman, who had been observing from the side, was also taken aback. Someone was willing to pay two hundred thousand for a talisman?
However, she immediately reacted, a disdainful smile playing on her lips as she said, “Clearly a shill, not professional at all.”
But the white-haired young man beside her said with a touch of seriousness,
“Not a shill. I know that old man. He’s a veteran cultivator here. He has a stall inside, so he wouldn’t be a shill.”
“Ah…” the alluring woman exclaimed. She hadn’t expected the bidder to be a veteran cultivator. This practically confirmed that his items were genuine.
“How about I help you buy one?”
The white-haired man, knowing the alluring woman was interested in Lin Feng’s wares and wanting to please her, immediately offered after seeing her expression.
“Okay… I want one, but…”
The alluring woman was genuinely interested in having one, but her pride and unwillingness to back down prevented her. She hadn’t expected things to escalate like this, with the stall she thought was a scam becoming popular.
She immediately realized the talisman was gone, otherwise why would the old man be competing with that woman for it?
Lin Feng hadn’t expected anyone knowledgeable to show up. However, he had already sold his items to the woman and wouldn’t sell to a second person. Seeing the woman look over, Lin Feng immediately said,
“You were here first, you pay.”
At this point, everyone around understood. This old man was a renowned veteran cultivator, and even he was buying Lin Feng’s items, clearly indicating their authenticity. Instantly, Lin Feng’s stall became crowded.
The middle-aged man also realized he had gotten a good deal and quickly approached Lin Feng, saying,
“If you trust me, I’ll give you a cash check. I can help you pay the taxes.”
Lin Feng didn’t mind, as long as he got the money. Besides, he genuinely didn’t have a card.
Hearing the middle-aged man’s offer, the woman and the young man quickly chimed in.
Lin Feng was alone and couldn’t go with them. However, these people were quite considerate; while helping Lin Feng with the tax processing, they didn’t take his goods.
The white-haired young man with the alluring woman also stepped forward and politely said to Lin Feng,
“Friend, do you still have any of those talismans? Could you sell one to me? Or perhaps I could place an order. The price is negotiable, of course.”
Lin Feng felt a bit better seeing that it wasn’t the annoying woman approaching, but he immediately replied,
“I’m sorry, these talismans are all gone, and I can’t take orders. These talismans were entrusted to me by a senior expert to sell. Once these five are sold, it’s over.”
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, not only was the young man disappointed, but the alluring woman was even more crestfallen, deeply regretting not buying one for a hundred thousand earlier.
However, more people began to inquire. Seeing that Lin Feng truly had none left, the young man could only set his sights on the two girls who had just purchased talismans.
He wondered if they might transfer one to him. With that thought, the young man spoke to the girl holding a talisman,
“Hello, you bought the talismans. Could you transfer one to me? I’ll offer an extra hundred thousand.”
The girl’s lips curled, and she replied with a hint of displeasure, “Do you think we look like people who are short of your hundred thousand?”
It was clear to everyone around that this girl indeed did not lack a hundred thousand.
Lin Feng secretly sighed, acknowledging the many benefits of having a good appearance.
Meanwhile, the old man was still examining the pills in Lin Feng’s porcelain bottle, sniffing them and asking questions.
Lin Feng paid him no mind. In a way, the old man was doing free advertising for him. Although most of his talismans were already sold, the old man had certainly set a good precedent.
The middle-aged man, the woman, and the young man had all returned. The middle-aged man handed Lin Feng a check and said,
“I’ve collected the money from those two, and I’ve directly issued a check for you. I’ve already paid the taxes for you.”
Lin Feng felt even more favorably towards the middle-aged man. This person likely feared Lin Feng might be cheated, so he collected the money and issued a check on Lin Feng’s behalf.
This demonstrated his integrity; otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a thing.
Lin Feng accepted the check and said, “Thank you, but I don’t have that much money either.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand with a smile and said,
“I know. I also want to buy a few more of your talismans. See how many you can buy with the remaining money, and give me those.”
Before Lin Feng could respond to the middle-aged man, the old man immediately interjected, “I’ll take all the surplus talismans. Name your price.”
It seemed the old man was afraid of the talismans being bought by others and spoke up first.
Indeed, as soon as the old man finished speaking, some people nearby began to express regret.
Lin Feng smiled slightly,
“Alright, ten thousand each then.”
Lin Feng knew that most people here were wealthy, and he was likely the poorest among them. He saw no reason to feel he was overcharging.
Lin Feng took four talismans and handed them to the middle-aged man, saying,
“Two of these are the same, Peace Talismans. One is a Flame Talisman, and the other is a Water Dragon Talisman.”
The remaining six talismans were all bought by the old man.
Seeing that the old man had bought Lin Feng’s remaining items, many people immediately swarmed forward wanting to buy them with money. But Lin Feng had already sold out and was done for the day.
