____________________
At the Ancient Relic Market in front of a small stall, a young man was quarrelling with the owner.
Of course, the owner was Ye Qian selling charms and the man was Wu Ping.
Meanwhile the lady near, Xiaowen was trying to shoo off Wu Ping afraid that he might irritate the master who was selling charms.
Her mother's wellbeing depended on it how could she not be worried.
"Wu Ping, please move aside, I don't want you to follow after us."
Xiaowen demanded coldly as she turned to Ye Qian.
"Sorry, sir can we do our business."
She said again after seeing that Wu Ping wanted to rebuke Ye Qian more.
"Sure miss."
Ye Qian nodded and smiled.
"Xiaowen, You, I say this person is very dubious, look his face is covered and he is also selling these palm-sized Yellow Paper charms for 50,000, isn't it apparent that he is trying to swindle you? Here the 50,000 is not what matters but what if something happens to your mother after using his charm?"
Wu Ping tried to persuade Xiaowen but to no appeal.
Instead, Xiaowen's face turned colder than before.
It was obvious that she was becoming more anxious.
"Miss, you can leave if you don't want to trust, but this man here is trying to insult my ancestors by saying such things."
Ye Qian rebuked as he pointed at Wu Ping.
Ye Qian knew that she was desperate, he also felt sad for trying to force her in doing such things but he needed money as well and this was the only thing that could provide him with ample money for things he needed to do.

'Haih if I didn't need money I might have gone with her to treat her mother, she really cares for her mother.'
Ye Qian thought as he sighed.
Xioawen was so concerned about her mother's situation that she was exhausted.
She had gone to many hospitals but not she had lost her hope for any other hospital.
While she was going to the hospital near the city she had met a monk who told her that her mother seemed to be surrounded by ghosts and evil spirits and he also insisted her that as long as she found a proper Ghost Repelling relic or artifact, it would cast the evil spirit out of her mother's body and help her in waking up.
She had been roaming around many such places which seemed to sell anything related to spirituality since then.
She even bought a lot of such artefacts and used them, but her mother didn't have even the slightest change in her health much less waking up from her vegetative state.
But now someone was saying that the charm he had, could wake her mother and keep her healthy, how could she let go of such a treasure?
Yes, it was no less than a treasure for her.
Even if the person in front of her was trying to deceive her, it was only for about measely, 50,000 Yuans, and it indeed wasn't much for her Han Family.
As long as there as there was silver of hope, she wasn't willing to give up.
Despite the thing that at the bottom of her heart, she knew that there was a 99% chance that the person was saying a lie, she still wanted to give it a shot after seeing how he stopped Wu Ping without any force.
After hearing Ye Qian say that how could she not be frightened?
She hurriedly said to Ye Qian with courtesy.
"I am sorry master; we have no relation with this person here."
As she finished her sentence, Han Xiaowen turned to Wu Ping who was clutching his wrist and said coldly.
"Mr. Wu, you are free to leave, please stop following us or I will call the police here!"
After hearing Han Xiaowen's words, Wu Ping stared at Ye Qian with a cold gaze, he knew he was not Ye Qian's match so he vowed bitterly.
'I will see how you will be calm after I bring some people to break your bones. Basta*d yo dare to hit me and even made Xiaowen to shoo me off. I will let you know how high the sky is.'
Since Xiaowen had said him to leave, he no longer had the face to stay with her and would only grind his teeth and turned while cursing and left.
Ye Qian knew that this person, Wu Ping would try to do some funny thing after seeing his gaze. But he was not worried about that 'Well even if I allow you to beat me you won't be able to harm me in the slightest. And I dont come here regularly so you won't find me either.'
Ye Qian shook his head and sighed at Wu Ping's foolishness.
Moreover, he was not afraid of anything even if he were to lose all his cultivation his body was that of an immortal what can a mortal do to him.
"Master I want to but all of your Spirit Purifying charms how much for that?"
After seeing that Wu Ping had left the place for good Han Xiaowen asked desperately.
Ye Qian shook his head and sighed.
"You won't need all the charms one will also do the work."
"Since you want them to treat your mother I will give you something more."
As he said that he moved his hand and lightly placed it in Xiaowen's head.
The woman behind wanted to move but after seeing that Ye Qian was just placing his hand on Xiaowen's head didn't say anything.
Xiaowen first felt afraid that he was trying to harm her.
But soon she eased up as she felt warm current enter her head and she felt light and all her fatigue and sad feelings went off.
She was now calm as she looked at Ye Qian, not like a puppy who desperately needed food.
Ye Qian took his hand off and sighed "You have been not regarding your health, you should take care of yourself as well."
Soon he took a Spirit Purifying charm and said "This will cost 50,000 Yuans."
Xiaowen looked at him with starry eyes.
'He can really cure my mom. Now I don't have a hint of doubt.'
'Is he like those high order priests who can use magic to help people and change the course of nature?'
She shook her head and looked at him.
Ye Qian continued to further explain.
"Take this and place it on your mother's head."
Han Xiaowen took the charm and gave him a 3,00,000 Yuan cheque.
She felt it was really worth the money she knew how much good she felt as Ye Qian placed his hand on her head. So she was willing to offer this much money, she even thought that this too was not enough.
Seeing that she gave him a 3,00,000 Yuan cheque, Ye Qian didn't want to take advantage of her, he took two Fireball charms, two Ghost Repelling charms and a Protection charm.
"Since you gave me this much money, I will give you these as well."
"See this one is a Protection charm when you go home place it in a small pouch and always carry the pouch with you. As for this, it is Fireball one, it is for self-defence. If you are to come across a situation where someone is trying to harm you. Just throw it on them and say 'LIN'."
"As for this, this is a Ghost Repelling one, carry one with you and place other in your house."
Ye Qian said as he pointed at every charm and said to her as she looked at the charms.
Seeing that Ye Qian was still giving her more charms and was not trying to loot her, Xiaowen had even higher hope for the other five charms.
She knew that Ye Qian was not a swindler.
"Master, can you explain again how do I use the Spirit Purifying charm?"
"Ah for that you just need to place this charm on the patient's forehead and likewise say 'LIN'."
Ye Qian said as he carefully placed the cheque in his pocket.
"Master what is your name, and could it be possible for you to come and see my mother with us?"
"I am willing to triple the amount on the cheque if you are willing."
Xiaowen said as she carefully placed the charms in a small wooden case.
She finally seemed to calm her hasty mind after placing the charms.
Furthermore, as she placed the charms she felt like there was a soothing sensation coming from the Spirit Purifying charm while the Fireball one seemed to be hot.
This gave her even more confidence in Ye Qian and that was the reason why she wanted to invite Ye Qian over to her house.
