Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 778 Golden Void Talisman

Infinite Treasures Pavilion, Purple Moon City.

'If only I had my Gold Membership Card, it would have been better.'

If Leo had the Gold Membership Card, he would get a 30 percent discount on all the items he purchases in the Infinite Treasures Pavillion.

Since Silvermoon City was only a Grade 9 City, it would take at least a week to get the Gold Membership Card and Leo didn't have the item to collect it before going to the Lunar Sect.

'But, still, it's alright! I can use the Silver Membership Card and get a 10 percent discount.'

In the end, Leo felt that having a 10 percent discount was better than having no discount at all.

'Anyway, let's buy the items.'

After entering the Infinite Treasure Pavillion, Leo didn't waste any time as he went directly to the section where the materials for the Talismans were created.

"Hello, Sir Cultivator."

The one in charge of this particular section was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his mid-thirties; however, Leo could tell that he was more than 300 years old with a cultivation of level 8 Foundation Establishment Realm.

He politely greeted Leo before asking, "What items are you looking for? I will help you with it."

"I am looking for the Rank 3 Talisman Materials belonging to Golden Void Talisman and Moon Ember Talisman."

From the enlightenment in Talisman Making, Leo got the experience of a few rank 3 Talismans and among them, he had chosen two Talismans to create and merge for himself and for Novan to use whenever he was in a dangerous situation.

Golden Void Talisman: This talisman harnesses the energy of the Celestial Moon World, allowing the user to create a miniature black hole that devours and nullifies incoming attacks.

Of course, it was a consumable item and the number of uses per talisman would depend on the level of the Talisman.

Moon Ember Talisman: Upon activation, this talisman engulfs the user in Moon flames, granting them heightened speed, strength, and regeneration of a low-level Golden Core Realm Cultivator. It also releases waves of purifying moon fire that disintegrate negative energies.

The duration of that boost in strength depends on the quality of the Talisman.

"Huh? Rank 3 Talismans?"

The cultivator was surprised because it was not common for someone to buy the Rank 3 Talismans every day and it would happen occasionally.

Even though there were a few low-level rank 3 Talisman Masters in the city, they all belonged to the subsidiary sects of the Lunar Sects and they wouldn't come in person to buy the materials.

Instead, it was the Infinite Treasures Pavilion that delivered the items to their doorstep and at the same time, more than half of the created Talismans were bought by them at a good price.

Therefore, the cultivator could tell that the customer was an outsider who came to Purple Moon City.

"Sir Cultivator, how many sets of Talisman Materials do you want?"

The Cultivator became respectful as he asked for the number of sets.

"What is the price per set for each talisman?"

Leo asked for the prices before deciding on how many sets he had to buy.

"For the Golden Void Talisman, it would cost 10000 low-level spirit stones and as for the Moon Ember Talisman, it's only 8000 low-level spirit stones."

"Hm"

Hearing the prices, Leo nodded his head in understanding because they were well within his expectations and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "If you give me a Gold Membership Card discount, I will buy the materials worth one million low-level spirit stones."

While showing his Silver Membership Card, Leo asked for an upgrade in his card before he could even complete the transaction.

As long as he completes the transaction, Leo would get access to the Gold Membership Card; however, Leo didn't want to let go of the 20 percent discount just because he could merge the cultivation resources.

"T-this…I will try my best; however, I can't guarantee, Sir."

The cultivator seemed hesitant to hear Leo's order.

Even though it was not a problem for him to convince the manager of the store to get a 30 percent discount for Leo, the attendant wanted to make sure Leo gave him a huge tip.

That's why he wanted to make it look like he was trying his best to get Leo a 30 percent discount.

"Also, I won't be giving the low-level spirit stones; instead, I am planning to exchange a few pills I got from a friend."

By saying that, Leo took out a pill from his storage ring.

"Exchanging the talisman-making materials with the pills?"

The attendant raised his brows as he looked at the pill in Leo's hands before taking it into his hands.

"It's mid-level rank 2 Barrier Breaking Pill. If you are planning to exchange it for one million low-level spirit stones worth of talisman-making materials, you need to give us 1000 pills. Do you have that many pills?"

The attendant became a little excited; however, he suppressed his excitement and slowly asked Leo about the number of pills that Leo needed to give them while maintaining a smile on his face.

"Don't worry. I have 1000 pills with me."

While saying that, Leo intentionally activated his talent [Quasi Divine Presence] for a second, to make sure that the other party realised that he was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

'He is a Golden Core Realm Cultivator? No wonder he was able to become a Rank 3 Talisman.'

The attendant had seen a few Golden Core Realm Cultivators in his life but still, he was not worried about Leo harming him because the Store Manager of this Infinite Treasures Pavilion was a peak Golden Core Realm Cultivator

So, he knew that no one would dare to attack him as long as he didn't leave Purple Moon City.

"Sir, I will ask the Section Manager and come back as soon as possible."

The attendant politely bowed to Leo before running to a separate room and coming back with a huge smile on his face.

In his hands, there was a golden card and he gave it to Leo.

"Sir, the Section Manager has approved a Golden Membership Card for you."

Unlike Silvermoon City, the branch of the Infinite Treasures Pavilion in Purple Moon City was more powerful and they could give away the Gold Membership Cards instantly without any approval from the headquarters.

"Thank you."

Leo casually thanked the attendant, surprising him for a moment; however, he didn't think much about it before focusing on the deal.

Since Leo was in a hurry, he quickly gave the number of sets which he calculated when the attendant went to talk with the Section Manager.

Hence, it didn't take much time for Leo to get what he wanted from the attendant.

The Talisman Making materials for:

1) Golden Void Talismans x 75 sets, 750000 low-level spirit stones.

2) Moon Ember Talismans x 75 sets, 600000 low-level spirit stones.

The total transaction value was 1.35 million; however, after a discount, it became a little more than one million.

The attendant skipped those extra low-level spirit stones and only charged him one million low-level spirit stones.

"1000 mid-level Barrier Breaking Pills."

From Leo's side, he gave 1000 pills and completed the deal.

A single mid-level Barrier Breaking Pill was sold at 2000-3000 low-level spirit stones; however, the Infinite Treasures Pavilion buys them at only 1000 low-level spirit stones.

Even with all the discounts, they were still making a 100 percent profit on almost all of their items.

Anyway, Leo didn't think too much about it because he didn't have the time and patience to sell them by renting a store and working for it.

Even though the Infinite Treasures Pavilion was making 100 percent profit, Leo was making multiple times profits because per every pill refinement, he was making 40 pills and when it comes to his success rate, it was 100 percent.

So, he will be making at least 10 times the profits or even higher from each batch of pills he refined.

Even though other items in the store piqued Leo's interest, Leo didn't bother to buy them as he hurriedly rented an alchemy room in the city.

Each alchemy room had some arrays that would let the alchemists refine peacefully. Even though Leo was not planning to refine the pills, he could use the environment in the Alchemy Room to create the rank 3 Talismans.

"Let's begin."

Once Leo settled in position, he took out the first set of the Golden Void Talisman and started working on it.

'Strike'

Taking a deep breath, Leo remembered all the strikes and patterns he had to draw and injected the moon essence into his strokes making them look alive on the talisman paper.

One stroke after another, Leo drew a total of 1028 strokes and just when he felt that his dantian was half emptied, he completed making his first rank 3 Talisman.

'Huh? It looks like [Heaven's Voice] might be sleeping.'

After successfully completing his first talisman, Leo remained silent for a moment as though he was waiting for something and eventually, he joked that the [Heaven's Voice] was sleeping.

He thought that by creating his first talisman, the [Heaven's Voice] would congratulate him and reward him with something.

However, he was not disappointed much as he only shook his head with a bitter smile on his face and continued to work on his second talisman.

Time continued to pass and it took an entire night to create 10 talismans each from two talismans he prepared to make.

He looked completely tired; however, he was excited about completing his target as he started merging them.
