Chapter 207: Preparing to craft talismans

Ling Fan saw that Wang Hong Yuan had already said this much and decided not to insist any further. Otherwise, he would seem pretentious.

Through Wang Hong Yuan’s tone of speech, Ling Yun could tell that he wasn’t short of money. A few million weren’t much to him at all.

Moreover, Ling Yun had even saved his life. Even if he had even more money, it would’ve been pointless if he was dead.

“Since Boss Wang is so sincere, it would be impolite of me to refuse!”

Ling Yun smiled calmly. There wasn’t a sense of particular joy shown on his face. He accepted Wang Hong Yuan’s gift very calmly.

“Younger Brother Ling Yun, you’re my savior. There’s no need to say things like that. It’d make me uncomfortable!”

Wang Hong Yuan saw that Ling Yun had finally accepted and he was even happier than if he had earned a few million dollars. Money can be earned anytime but once a life is taken, one would have nothing at all!

After Wang Hong Yuan had acknowledged that he had been poisoned by Gu Sorcery, it could be said that he had exhausted all his ideas to save his own life. He had even gone to the Xiangxi people to beg for mercy but it had all been useless. Thereafter, he had already lost all hope, just wanting to quickly sell his property in Qingshui City and return to his wife and children in his old home before he died. After making proper arrangements for them, he would have thought of a way to take his own life.

He didn’t want to die but he simply couldn’t endure that half an hour of excruciating pain every midnight and he couldn’t endure the terror of not being able to eat or drink.

He had already had a foot in the coffin and his perspective on wealth and material goods had been completely changed.

Hence, after being saved by Ling Yun and given a second life, Wang Hong Yuan was grateful beyond measure. How could he accept Ling Yun’s money?

Moreover, Ling Yun was a highly able person. It was rare for a normal person to meet someone like Ling Yun even once in his or her lifetime. Now that Wang Hong Yuan had met Ling Yun, and because of Wang Hong Yuan’s astute nature, he definitely wanted to make friends with Ling Yun.

Wang Hong Yuan would have been willing to give all his property in Qingshui City to Ling Yun, much less this little shop. He was filled with elation!

After eating a bowl of pork porridge, Wang Hong Yuan had regained much of his energy. His words had some power now. He took out a pen and two contracts from his briefcase.

“Younger Brother Ling Yun, this is the transfer agreement that I’ve gotten a lawyer to write for me. I’ve already signed it. Take a look. If there aren’t any problems, sign your name on both of them and the shop is yours!”

Ling Yun thought. This Wang Hong Yuan is really efficient in handling things. After agreeing, he didn’t even wait for a change in location before asking me to sign the contract.

For someone like this to do business, if things don’t go well, it would really be bad!

Ling Yun took the pen and the two contracts. Without even looking at the contents, he signed the two contracts.

Then, he looked at Wang Hong Yuan and said, “Boss Wang, I have to thank you. I wonder what you’ll be doing after this.”

Wang Hong Yuan sighed gently, “Younger Brother, to be honest, after finding out that I was going to die, I sent my wife and children back to my Qilu old home to wait until I settle things here and go back have a farewell with them. Then, I would’ve found a place to take my own life…”

“This was the last shop that I had to sell. I didn’t expect that you would save me at such a time. Now, I don’t have any plans. I just want to rush back to my old home and reunite with my wife and children after helping you to renovate the shop. I’ll have a good rest before I decide what to do next.”

Ling Yun and the rest could see that Wang Hong Yuan was quite downhearted after encountering this disaster.

Ling Yun broke into a smile as he nodded. “Boss Wang, the most important thing for you now is to nurse your body back to wealth. As for renovating the shop, I wouldn’t dare to trouble you!”

Ling Yun looked at Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to his left and right before continuing, “Having the two of them around is enough.”

After saying that, Ling Yun didn’t want to stay any longer. He stood up and said, “Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, send Boss Wang back. Little Rou and I will go and do something.”

When Wang Hong Yuan saw that Ling Yun was suddenly leaving, he hastily propped his own body up and said with a smile, “Younger Brother, I want to get a way to contact you. Could you…”

Ling Yun saw Wang Hong Yuan’s cautious expression and couldn’t help but laugh. “Brother Wang, it’s just a contact, isn’t it? Tang Meng, give Brother Wang my phone number. I’m leaving!”

Ling Yun ended off by giving Wang Hong Yuan a nod and smile before holding Yao Rou’s waist as they left the porridge shop.

When Ling Yun left the shop, he called a taxi. After getting in the car, Ling Yun said to the driver, “Qingxi Villa District, District Four.”

They were way too close to Qingxi Villa District Four. Before they even used up the initial charge, they had reached.

After getting off, Yao Rou couldn’t help but take a look around. Then, she said in surprise, “The environment here is great. But what are we doing here?”

Ling Yun smiled calmly, “Follow me.” Then, he held Yao Rou’s slender waist as they walked towards Villa Number One.

Ling Yun said as he walked, “I’ll leave the design of that clinic to you. The first floor will be for the clinic’s operations. The second floor will be for you to stay. You can renovate it however you like, don’t worry about money!”

When Yao Rou heard that, she was delighted. Then. her heart suddenly skipped as she looked at Ling Yun bashfully, “With over two hundred square meters, if I stay alone, it would be such a waste…”

Ling Yun’s mouth curled up into a cunning smile. He said to Yao Rou teasingly, “Who said that you’re going to stay alone? Whenever I’m tired, I’ll also stay there…”

These words made Yao Rou’s body soften and she almost couldn’t stand properly. She blushed as she gently bit her lovely lower lip. “As you please…”

The Number One Villa’s outermost perimeter was not made of brick walls. Instead, it was made of very stylish and very aesthetically-pleasing railings. The perimeter was surrounded by Japanese roses and Japanese creepers. It gave off a very natural feeling.

As Yao Rou looked at this villa that occupied a huge block of land, she couldn’t help but take in a deep breath of the fresh air. She sighed. “Rich people’s homes are really great. This place is so big and so beautiful. It’s like living in a garden…”

Ling Yun didn’t open the gates. He embraced Yao Rou’s tender body and leaped over the gates. He didn’t walk on the main path but followed a small pebble-covered winding road as he headed towards that big villa.

When Yao Rou saw that Ling Yun had carried her and jumped over the gate, she was so startled that her face went pale. “Why are you trespassing into someone’s home?”

Ling Yun laughed. “What are you talking about? This villa was bought by me!”

“Huh?!” Yao Rou was stunned. She even forgot to walk.

“You…you bought it? You really bought it?” Yao Rou stared blankly at that splendid and magnificent villa and stuttered.

“Let’s go. We’ll go in and take a look!” Ling Yun nodded before holding onto Yao Rou’s waist and continuing to walk.

Yao Rou was overjoyed as she said excitedly, “Then why didn’t you open the door to come in?”

Ling Yun chuckled. “I was too lazy!” Then, he quickened his pace.

The two of them reached the entrance of the villa very soon. After going onto the porch, Ling Yun took out the keys, opened the door and entered.

The salesperson hadn’t been lying. Although the huge villa was empty and roomy, its decoration was majestic and splendid. Moreover, there wasn’t a speck of dust anywhere. It seemed as if someone had just cleaned the place.

“God! It’s so big! Just this living room is already bigger than that shop! How many rooms are there in here?”

Upon entering the villa, Yao Rou stepped onto a valuable and soft Persian carpet. Her mind was spinning nonstop. Her pair of beautiful big eyes weren’t enough to take in all of this.

In the living room was a genuine leather chair gifted by the developer. Ling Yun walked over and sat on it. Then, he smiled at Yao Rou, who was still at the entrance, and gestured at her to come over.

Yao Rou bashfully ran over and pounced into Ling Yun’s embrace. At that instant, she felt immensely fortunate.

Although she knew that she couldn’t possibly have the chance to stay here, she already felt immeasurably fortunate that Ling Yun had brought her here.

“Why did you bring me here?” Yao Rou asked as she laid in Ling Yun’s embrace like a cat. She felt a refreshing scent emanating from his body.

“Because I’m happy…” Ling Yun smiled gently.

Yao Rou didn’t say more. She gazed lovingly into Ling Yun’s eyes and slowly closed her eyes.

Ling Yun bent forward, lowered his head and kissed Yao Rou’s sexy pink lips.

The villa was very quiet. There wasn’t a single sound at that moment.

After a long while, their lips split. Yao Rou moaned and gasped for a breath of air before opening her beautiful eyes. Her long eyelashes shook. She would remember this kiss for the rest of her life.

Ling Yun looked at Yao Rou’s blushing face and said, “These two days, while renovating the shop, buy some things for me.”

Yao Rou would be willing even if Ling Yun ate her up right now. She blinked her charming eyes as she asked, “Tell me. What do you want me to buy?”

Ling Yun said casually, “Weasel hair brush, cinnabar, yellow paper, some medicinal ingredients. Mmm… And around ten roosters and two male black dogs…”

Yao Rou heard Ling Yun’s words become more and more ridiculous and she was a little puzzled. These things are completely unrelated. What am I buying these for?

But she remained gentle and loving. She knew that Ling Yun definitely had purposes for those things. Hence, she didn’t ask more. She just silently memorized those things. After making sure she had memorized everything, she asked, “What kind of medicinal ingredients?”

Ling Yun liked this clever side of Yao Rou. He smiled and said, “There are over ten kinds. You wouldn’t be able to remember all of them if I said it. I’ll send a message to your phone.”

Without a doubt, Ling Yun was making preparations for crafting talismans. He could go to Level Four of Physique Tempering Stage anytime now. When that happened, he would be able to craft some of the simplest talismans.

Actually, Ling Yun now had the magical brush and he didn’t need the weasel hair brush. However, Ling Yun wanted to test how big of a difference there would be in the talismans crafted using the weasel hair brush and the magical brush. Hence, Ling Yun told Yao Rou to buy it.

Crafting talismans required talisman paper, weasel hair brush, cinnabar and demon beast blood. These were crucial. Actually, Ling Yun wasn’t in need of demon beast blood now either because, outside the rental house, there was a supernatural top-grade spirit animal, the nine-tailed fox!

However, he was only crafting the lowest level of talismans. If he were to use the blood of the nine-tailed fox, it would be a waste. Moreover, Ling Yun couldn’t ascertain whether that fox would obediently give him its blood. Hence, Ling Yun decided to use the blood of roosters and dogs instead.

A dog’s blood could be used to ward off evil. Its effectiveness couldn’t match up to that of a demon beast’s blood but it was sufficient to craft low-level talismans.

Ling Yun passed the villa keys to Yao Rou, then said, “After buying those things, put them in this villa. As for the roosters and dogs, find a place to keep them in the courtyard.”

Ling Yun finally instructed Yao Rou, “It must be done as soon as possible.”

Although Yao Rou didn’t know what Ling Yun had up his sleeve, Ling Yun had many other mysterious sides as well. Hence, she just nodded obediently and pondered about how she would handle this.

After delegating the task of preparing the materials to Yao Rou, Ling Yun gave Tang Meng a call and told him to come and fetch Yao Rou from Number One Villa. He also told Tang Meng that Yao Rou would be in charge of everything related to the clinic. After that, he hung up.

Then, Ling Yun looked at the time on his phone and said to Yao Rou, “Alright, I’ll leave the matters at the clinic to you. Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu will be at your command for these few days. No need to be courteous with them!”

“My lessons are starting soon. I’m going to school now. Just explore the place and wait for Tang Meng to fetch you!”

After saying that, Ling Yun flashed a bright smile at Yao Rou, who couldn’t bear to see him leave. Then, he left the villa in a flash. Very soon, he reached the main road outside Villa District Four.

Ling Yun flagged a taxi by the road and went straight to Qingshui High.
