Chapter 67 Gold Medal Sales

"Senior Brother Li?"

Liang Yue looked at Li Mo walking towards him from afar, feeling a little surprised.

Isn't this person from the Evil-Punishment Yamen? Why is he coming here and being so friendly with Madam Zhang?
"Hey, Junior Brother Liang." Li Mo smiled when he saw Liang Yue, "Why are you here too?"

"I'm here with the team to investigate the case." Liang Yue replied.

"Oh, yes, my brother-in-law passed away." Li Mo looked at the mess after the explosion and asked, "What happened just now?"

"A positive yang thunder exploded." Liang Yue said, "Fortunately there were no casualties."

Li Mo's nose suddenly moved, smelling the air, and frowned, "Is there a smell of Yin Qi Talisman?"

Liang Yue recalled the gust of cold wind that had given him a warning, "Yin Qi Talisman?"

"It's just a simple little talisman. If there was a positive yang thunder explosion just now, then it would be correct." Li Mo is a professional in playing talismans, and he immediately explained: "The positive yang thunder is a gathering of yang fire. It will not explode when it encounters fire. Instead, it will be triggered by yin energy, causing the yang fire to flow out unbalanced and explode instantly."

After hearing his explanation, Liang Yue finally understood how the Zhengyang Thunder in the carriage had just exploded.

It should be the Yin Qi Talisman.

Stick the Yin Qi Talisman on the Zhengyang Thunder, and when the target is close, activate the Talisman to release the Yin Qi. In this way, the target should not be too far away from the explosion site.

He looked around and saw Mrs. Zhang coming towards him.

When Li Mo saw her, he immediately acted sad and said in a sad voice: "My dear sister, you must be patient and accept my condolences."

"Alas." Madam Zhang shook her head and said, "If everyone was as considerate as you, Xiao Li, I wouldn't be so tired... Do you know Liang Duwei?"

Li Mo said: "Disciples of Xuanmen are of the same blood."

"What a coincidence." Madam Zhang looked at Liang Yue in surprise and said, "Liang Duwei is actually a disciple of Xuanmen?"

Liang Yue smiled slightly: "Master just took it casually."

After a brief conversation, Mrs. Zhang turned back to look at Li Mo, "Little Li, what talisman did you bring this time?"

Li Mo chuckled: "I brought you so many good things."

As he spoke, he touched the jade belt around his waist.

His jade belt was naturally a storage device. He took out a talisman written on yellow paper and said, "I improved this cold air talisman after I went back. I added two plant runes to the black ice rune. In addition to icing my brother-in-law, it can also add a hint of fragrance to him, making sure he smells good down there. I added the scent of jasmine. If you like, I can change it to other flowers."

"Very good." Mrs. Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"The price of this improved version is fifty taels per piece. Sister, if you take ten, I will give you one more. After all, that's how we are." Li Mo directly took out a stack of the same talismans.

"Yes." Mrs. Zhang replied, "We do need some."

"I have a sleeping talisman specially prepared for you." Li Mo took out another talisman.

"Now that your brother-in-law is gone, you must be worried and tossing and turning every night. This sleeping talisman can help you sleep well. If you sleep well, you will feel good." He stuffed the talisman into Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "Sister, if you don't take one, I will really feel bad for you."

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Zhang accepted it with a smile.

"This one is one hundred taels per piece, and one piece can be used for seven days. My suggestion is that you take eight pieces, which will be enough for two months." Li Mo said as he took out another stack.

Mrs. Zhang accepted all the orders.

"Finally!" Li Mo took out another long talisman carved from white jade. It had rounded edges and was about two fingers wide and half a foot long. It finally looked like something that cost more.

Then he introduced: "Now that my brother-in-law is gone, you will be alone in your room. It is inevitable that you will feel lonely and unbearable. This is to help you..."

Madam Zhang blushed and quickly pushed the talisman away, "Don't be silly, why did you even bring this out?"

"Eh?" Li Mo was stunned. "Sister, what are you talking about? This is the phonograph I made for you with great effort. You can record your favorite songs in it. You don't need to control it with your Qi. Just put it in the water and it will emit sound."

As he spoke, he took out a kettle from the storage jade belt at his waist, pulled out the stopper, and put the sound-recording jade talisman in it. The jade talisman suddenly glowed faintly, and bursts of melodious flute sounds came out.

"Ah." Madam Zhang put down her hand. "So it's a phonograph."

Li Mo was a little surprised, "What do you think?" Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

……

Li Mo sold the goods for a while, left a large pile of talismans, and took away more than 1,000 taels of silver from Mrs. Zhang.

Liang Yue was watching Li Mo's crazy money-making scene from the side and was stunned for a moment.

Even though all the imperial guards from Fukangfang had left, he couldn't help but stay, wanting to see how well Li Mo could perform.

After Madam Zhang left, Liang Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "The speed at which this talisman lineage makes money is really enviable."

"Hey, this is nothing." Li Mo shrugged and said, "It is precisely because I am from the talisman lineage that I need to run around to sell. The people who really make money are waiting at home for others to bring them to their door."

"Is that so?" Liang Yue didn't quite understand.

"Among the eight meridians of Xuanmen, the first four meridians, Sword Control, Dragon Transformation, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements, are all focused on combat. The last four meridians, Alchemy Cauldron, Talisman, White Stone, and Sackcloth Clothes, used to be part of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, and are considered miscellaneous cultivation." Li Mo explained to him, "But there are also differences between miscellaneous cultivations."

"Among the last four sects, only the Ma Yi sect doesn't burn money... Of course, they burn their lives, so I don't envy them." Li Mo continued: "The remaining three sects, whether it's refining pills and medicines, making talismans or refining array formations, are all extremely expensive inheritances. Every disciple has to spend a lot of materials to train them."

"But they make money even if they burn money. Not to mention the elixirs made by the Danding Sect, they refine whatever they want, regardless of the type. Once they're finished refining, they throw them on the market and there will be a lot of people rushing to buy them. The magic weapons, formations and buildings made by the Baishi Sect are in short supply."

"My talisman school is the only one that is not good enough, because most talismans require true qi to activate, and only qi cultivators can use them. This results in a very small market for the things we produce, which is far less popular than the other two."

"So our talisman sect has always been very poor, and the leaders of all generations have racked their brains to make money." Li Mo smiled shyly and said, "So I came to the Divine Capital this time, not only to help Uncle Chen Su set up the Demon-Slaying Office, but also to promote the talismans of our lineage. Let the people of Longyuan City know that we actually have a lot of talismans that don't require true qi to activate, and you can buy them."

"Senior Brother Li shoulders a heavy responsibility." Liang Yue echoed.

"Hehe." Li Mo smiled and shook his head, "But the effect of my work is not very good. Those talismans are too expensive for mortals and not very practical for warriors. After some exploration, I finally found a suitable group."

Liang Yue turned around and glanced at Madam Zhang's back from a distance, and asked tentatively: "Rich woman?"

"That's right!" Li Mo laughed and said, "The sisters don't care how high the price is, as long as it has the use they want. Sometimes it doesn't even matter whether it's practical or not, as long as it makes them happy. And they have their own circles, and they will introduce useful talismans to each other. Now I have already won over most of the rich ladies in the royal family circle of Shendu. From Madam Zhang, I want to open up the market of the merchant circle of rich ladies."

Looking at his ambitious and passionate look, Liang Yue couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

What is this innate steel wool holy body?

The two were chatting here when Li Mo suddenly felt a vibration in his jade belt. He then took out a square jade talisman which was now flashing with red light.

Li Mo wiped with two fingers, and suddenly heard a voice from the jade talisman: "Wu Mozi has appeared, come to the East Market to gather quickly."

Liang Yue asked in surprise: "Is this Senior Sister Wen's voice?"

"Yes, this is our Xuanmen's communication tool." Li Mo scratched his head and said in distress: "Originally, there were a few more talismans to be delivered. Alas, I have to wait again."

"Is there an urgent mission?" Liang Yue asked.

"It has something to do with you." Li Mo smiled and said, "Last time, you helped us destroy a Nine-Yang spy den. They are responsible for guiding the criminals of the Yin Dynasty to escape. After our interrogation, we learned that someone had recently contacted them and wanted to escape. It was Wu Mozi, the chief formation master of the Ministry of Industry."

The Ministry of Industry again?

When Liang Yue heard the name, he recalled the previous case.

Perhaps it was because of Liang Fuguo's relentless pursuit of the Ministry of Works that these officials of the Ministry of Works felt a sense of crisis and wanted to find a way out.

"Wu Mozi disappeared immediately after the hideout was destroyed, but he should not have escaped from the city. We have been searching in Longyuan City for a long time, and we should have some results now." Li Mo said again.

Liang Yue said: "Then Senior Brother Li, please go quickly and don't delay the important work."

"Alas." Li Mo sighed helplessly, "I don't really want to do those serious things, I just want to make money."

"Li Mo!" A sharp female voice suddenly came from the other side: "If you don't want to come, you don't have to come!"

"Da Qiao? Ah!" Li Mo was shocked. "I forgot to turn off my jade talisman. It's broken. They heard everything I said just now."

At this time, Wen Yifan's cold voice came out again: "Li Mo, you don't have to come. Liang Yue is next to you, right? Call him over."
