Chapter 838: Chapter 403: Supplemental Update in Progress...

[The following content is a previous draft.

Apologies.]

In the next two or three days, Wen Jiu spent all day at the market stall selling Demon-Seeking Talismans.

Although the efficiency of selling talismans wasn’t high, they were eventually all sold.

A total of one Low-grade Spirit Stone was credited.

This time, Wen Jiu used the entire Low-grade Spirit Stone to purchase Demon Skin Yellow Paper, totaling twenty-seven sheets.

Just two or three days ago.

One Low-grade Spirit Stone could still purchase around thirty sheets of non-tier Demon Skin Yellow Paper, perhaps even more.

But in just two or three days, the price of Demon Skin Yellow Paper increased.

To ensure he wasn’t cheated, Wen Jiu inquired at several stalls, and the prices were quite similar.

Clearly.

The heavy snow brought more than just cold.

It also caused the price at the Independent Practitioner Market to start rising slowly.

But that wasn’t the most critical factor; the most critical factor was that the price of Demon-Seeking Talismans hadn’t increased. Because the difficulty of hunting demons rose, more people chose to hunt demons with Loose Cultivators using the Demon-Seeking Technique.

The situation of individual or small teams of two or three people hunting demons became rarer; perhaps this was also the reason Chen Liu created Pursuing Immortal.

At the same time, this meant that continuing to maintain a thirty-percent success rate in drawing talismans would result in losses.

Not much, but once the number of talisman drawings increased, the accumulated amount was not insignificant.

"Now I can only rely on whether skill progression, once maxed, will bring some change."

After muttering to himself, Wen Jiu quickly returned to the Good House, casually ate something, and began drawing talismans.

Drawing nine talismans a day.

Success in three.

The success rate of drawing talismans remained unchanged.

Soon.

Early the next morning, Wen Jiu successfully maxed out the proficiency at fifty-two percent.

[Current Sub-profession: Talisman Master Lv0 (16/100)]

[Basic Skill of Profession: 0-level Demon-Seeking Talisman (50/50)]

Following that.

A popup appeared.

[Successfully maxed out the experience of a Talisman Master level 0 Demon-Seeking Talisman, receiving a reward — special skill point.]

[PS: Can be used to enhance special abilities of the profession]

"It didn’t upgrade."

Wen Jiu felt a little disappointed.

In fact, he was hoping the 0-level Demon-Seeking Talisman would upgrade, as the value of Cultivation Techniques in Talisman Dao is quite high.

Even a non-tier Talismanic Technique requires five Low-grade Spirit Stones, which he currently cannot afford.

"What a pity."

Wen Jiu sighed.

But the special skill point as a reward dispersed that small feeling of disappointment in his heart.

Without much thought.

Wen Jiu directly added it to Inspired Touch.

[Special Ability of Profession: Inspired Touch Lv0 (1/10)]

"Still missing nine points, and Inspired Touch can upgrade."

As he whispered.

Wen Jiu was filled with anticipation.

Perhaps.

Level 1 Inspired Touch could allow the success rate of drawing talismans to reach one hundred percent.

As he knew, even an experienced Tier One Talisman Master couldn’t achieve a one hundred percent success rate in drawing non-tier Spirit Talismans.

With anticipation, Wen Jiu continued drawing talismans.

What Wen Jiu didn’t expect was that the first Demon-Seeking Talisman was successfully drawn as smoothly as could be.

The second one was also the same.

Upon trying the third Demon-Seeking Talisman, it succeeded again!

Could it be...

A thought instantly flashed in his mind.

Next, Wen Jiu consecutively drew five talismans.

Sure enough.

All succeeded!

The success rate of drawing Demon-Seeking Talismans reached one hundred percent!

"Could it be because the experience value was maxed out?"

Wen Jiu was delighted; if that’s true, it wouldn’t matter much if the level of the Demon-Seeking Talisman didn’t increase.

Because succeeding in drawing Demon-Seeking Talismans, the experience gain for the Talisman Master was real, and was not reduced.

Just now consecutively succeeding in five, the Talisman Master experience already increased by five points, reaching twenty-one.

It only needs a small further progress to max out level 0 Talisman Master experience!

[Current Sub-profession: Talisman Master Lv0 (21/100)]

After drawing all seven remaining sheets of Demon Skin Yellow Paper into Demon-Seeking Talismans, the Talisman Master experience increased by seven points.

[Current Sub-profession: Talisman Master Lv0 (28/100)]

Looking at the gradually rising experience.

Wen Jiu’s mood was indescribably joyful.

...

After tidying up the table, the door was softly knocked at this moment.

"Master, the Spirit Rice Porridge is ready."

Wen Jiu opened the door.

Yun Ping immediately entered the room holding a bowl of steaming hot and enticingly aromatic white porridge.

Seeing Wen Jiu’s smiling face, Yun Ping couldn’t help but ask after placing the Spirit Rice Porridge in front of Wen Jiu: "Master, is there some good news?"

In the past.

She wouldn’t dare ask.

But in recent days, Wen Jiu treated her kindly, without hitting or scolding.

Though he was her master, he didn’t treat her as a lowly servant, so she dared to ask this question.

"Indeed, there is some good news." Wen Jiu nodded without elaborating.

Wen Jiu didn’t elaborate, and Yun Ping sensibly didn’t ask further.

She knew very well what should not be asked.

What should be asked.

Immediately, Yun Ping stood up and set the door latch, then lightly paced back to sit next to Wen Jiu, gently poured tea for him, her slightly fragrant body pressing close.

Wen Jiu was stunned.

A soft feeling immediately came from his shoulder.

Without waiting for Wen Jiu to speak, Yun Ping knelt down.

"Master..."

As the words fell.

A numbing sensation surged.

...

After a short day’s rest.

Early the next morning, Wen Jiu brought seventeen Demon-Seeking Talismans back to the market.

Outside the Market, the snow was still falling.

Showing no signs of weakening.

The treetops were long gone, as were the mountain peaks.

This heavy snow, no one knew when it would stop.

After spending half a day at the market stall, Wen Jiu found that the demand for Demon-Seeking Talismans was gradually decreasing.

The efficiency of selling talismans became slower.

After half a day, only three Demon-Seeking Talismans were sold.

But as long as there were still buyers, Wen Jiu wasn’t in a hurry. Because now, his success rate in drawing Demon-Seeking Talismans was one hundred percent.

If they couldn’t sell, just offer a discount.
