Live streaming talisman sales?

Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, “Indeed, it’s a way to make money, but talismans are not calligraphy or paintings, they can’t be mass-produced… Moreover, the government is now very strict in controlling information about various strange incidents, I’m afraid once you start live streaming, your channel could be shut down.”

Wan Baolu looked disappointed.

Seeing this, Xu Yang laughed and said, “However, there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future… Nowadays, various demons, monsters, and evil spirits are rampant in the world, and perhaps one day the truth will be revealed by the government.”

Through Wang Lin and Bai Wei, Xu Yang had learned a lot.

For example, the “resurgence of spiritual aura”.

According to Bai Wei, in ancient times, cultivation was once thriving, and various demons and spirits existed in the world. Many ancient “anecdotal novels” like Liaozhai depicted them.

Some even proposed the argument of whether “mythological characters” really existed.

They believed that myths might not necessarily be fake.

At least it has been confirmed that the Underworld Palace does exist!

And the magical abilities of gods and immortals in mythology could be realized after reaching a certain level of martial arts and Daoist skills cultivation.

The “Cultivation Era” in history can be traced back to more than 500 years ago, around the early Ming Dynasty.

Since then, cultivation gradually declined and eventually disappeared.

However, starting 40 years ago, the spiritual aura suddenly revived!

Some Daoist artifacts that have been buried for hundreds of years have regained their mystic power.

Those long-lost secret techniques can be cultivated once again.

After 40 years of development, many experts have emerged in the martial world today, and perhaps one day, the golden age of cultivation will rise again!

Of course.

With the revival of spiritual aura, some problems have also arisen in the world.

In just one night, numerous Yin spirits and malevolent beings have appeared!

The establishment of the Spirits Management Bureau is to deter the martial world and to deal with these Yin spirits and malevolent beings!

After Wan Baolu left with the female live streamer, Ma Long arrived.

He walked in with unsteady steps, propped up by one hand on his waist, and sporting dark circles under his eyes.

Xu Yang was surprised, “Ma Long, what happened to you?”

Ma Long slumped into a chair, massaged his waist, and swallowed a handful of Rejuvenating Pills before smirking, “Nothing much, just overindulging in pleasure. I used too much strength in my waist and now my kidneys are a bit weak.”

Naturally, he wouldn’t tell Xu Yang that he had a wet dream the whole night.

Xu Yang considered it true and shook his head, “You’re still young, you should pay more attention to your health and not regret it when you’re old.”

Ma Long grumbled, “You’re talking about me… what about you, always messing with ghosts and not complaining?”

“Who said I’m messing with ghosts?”

Xu Yang’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Don’t talk nonsense…”

Before he could finish speaking, the air in the shop dropped sharply, and a bone-chilling coldness instantly enveloped both of them.

Ma Long, in particular, felt goosebumps rising on the back of his neck and his scalp tingling. He slowly turned his head towards the staircase and repeatedly apologized.

The cold, eerie atmosphere then dissipated.

Not daring to bring up the subject again, Ma Long asked, “So Old Xu, why did you urgently call me over?”

“To buy a car!”

Xu Yang smiled and said, “I made a small fortune yesterday, and I can still pay for your car.”

“What car?”

Ma Long said, “Why should we be like this? It’s just a lousy BMW, it’s smashed up, so it’s smashed up. My dad said after he gets paid for the construction work, he’ll buy me a Mercedes-Benz.”

“It doesn’t have to be a car, just tell me how much you paid and I’ll transfer you the money.”

Xu Yang insisted, “Brothers should settle things clearly, especially since that was a new car. My wife Shishi also said that if we don’t pay for the damaged car, we’ll attract bad karma.”

Since it came to this, Ma Long naturally wouldn’t say anything else. He just smirked softly and teased, “Xu Yang, you still say you’re not messing with ghosts… calling my wife Shishi, tsk tsk, that’s too affectionate.”

Bang!

Just a moment later, Ma Long felt a sudden pain in his mouth, as if he was hit by an invisible fist.

He clutched his mouth and didn’t dare to say another word.

The two people drove to Wu City Car Mall and went directly into the BMW 4S store.

“Mr. Ma, what brings you here?”

A female salesperson approached with a smile, “Mr. Ma, are you here to get your car window film installed?”

Ma Long had been given free car window film from the BMW 4S store and had told them that he would come to get it installed when he had time.

“Screw the film, I don’t have a car now!”

Ma Long said, “Bring the contract for the same model as last time. Do you have one in stock? I’ll buy another one.”

Salesperson: “What???”

Within just 20 minutes, the contract was signed, the card was swiped for payment, and Ma Long stood up, “Just like last time, handle insurance and license plate registration. Have the car delivered to my house later.”

After buying the car.

The two found a barbecue restaurant and sat down.

Xu Yang placed the order, and Ma Long separately ordered 10 large kidney skewers.

As they would be driving later, Xu Yang didn’t order alcohol but ordered a few bottles of chilled soda instead.

While eating, they chatted casually about various topics.

Suddenly, Ma Long said, “Old Xu… Wang Xu and the others were organizing a class reunion in the group chat these past few days, did he contact you?”

Xu Yang looked confused and asked, “Wang Xu? Our high school class leader? The one you beat up on the road?”

As for the class reunion, Xu Yang had no clue.

Almost four years had passed since they graduated from high school, and apart from Ma Long, he hadn’t kept in touch with any other classmates.

Ma Long’s situation was similar to Xu Yang’s.

For the past two years, he had been herding sheep in the mountains, only keeping in touch with Xu Yang and no one else.

The topic quickly passed as neither of them had any plans to attend the reunion.

However, Xu Yang was a bit worried about Ma Long and asked him about his experiences in the past few days, fearing that he had been “hexed.”

“I was just like that.”

“I slept during the day, had dates with girls at night, and returned home punctually before midnight.”

Xu Yang nodded his head, relieved.

Generally, there aren’t too many yin spirits and malevolent beings before midnight.

Ma Long could usually make it home before midnight, which significantly reduced the chances of encountering any evil. However, to be on the safe side, Xu Yang took out an Evil-warding Talisman and said, “This is a talisman 1 made. Keep it with you and don’t go out at night unless necessary.”

After finishing their meal, Ma Long received a phone call and left with a lascivious grin on his face.

Xu Yang drove to a mobile phone store, spent ten thousand dollars on two phones, and used his own ID to get two SIM cards. Then he went to the computer market and bought two laptops.

He returned to the shop and gave the gifts to Liu Shishi and Yang Yin.

Yang Yin was incredibly excited and asked Xu Yang how to use the gadgets.

Liu Shishi sat nearby, listening attentively.

Nothing eventful happened that day.

At night, the two humans and two ghosts went out for a seafood buffet and strolled around the night market for a while before returning to the shop around 10 o’clock.

Once back at the shop,

Xu Yang began practicing talisman-making.

He currently knew four types of Daoist talismans: Evil-warding Talisman, Ghost-repelling Talisman, Safety Talisman, and Wealth Attraction Talisman. However, he wasn’t very proficient, and the success rate was quite low. He could only make one successful talisman out of every three attempts.

After breaking through to the “Qi Refining Realm level 7,” he could create a few new types of Daoist talismans, such as the Movement Talisman, Divine Strength Talisman, and Diamond Talisman.

These talismans were incredibly powerful and once mastered, they would take Xu Yang’s combat ability to new heights!

Soon,

it was early morning.

Xu Yang took a can of Red Bull from the refrigerator to quench his thirst, then continued drawing talismans.

On the ground,

there was a large pile of failed talismans scattered all around.

At the same time,

at the entrance of a nightclub in Wu City,

Ma Long stumbled out, helped by two girls.

Soon,

a taxi arrived.

Ma Long, heavily intoxicated, got in the car and fell fast asleep in no time.

When he woke up again, he found himself surrounded by darkness, with a misty haze in the air. A blue stone path stretched forward into the wild grass. Beyond the grass, there was a large house with red lanterns hanging in front of it.

Huh?’

“Am I dreaming again?”

Ma Long rubbed his eyes and muttered, “Strange… Why is it the same as last night’s dream?”

He was so excited that the effect of the alcohol seemed to dissipate. He immediately walked along the stone path towards the house. In no time, he arrived in front of the house.

The main entrance remained wide open.

Under the red lantern at the door, a charming woman looked left and right. When she saw Ma Long, she gleefully ran over, grabbed his arm and said coquettishly, “My dear brother! What took you so long to get here?”

Ma Long had a mischievous grin on his face, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation on his thigh. He reached into his pocket, only to find a handful of black ashes.

Ma Long’s smile froze on his face.

He clearly remembered that the Evil-warding Talisman Xu Yang gave him was in his pocket!

The burning talisman signified one thing.

It meant he had encountered unclean things!

Ma Long felt a chill running up his spine, scaring the remaining drunkenness out of him. The moment he sobered up, his surroundings changed completely.

The ancient-style mansion disappeared, replaced by a broken and dilapidated temple.

Dead trees surrounded the temple.

The red lanterns hanging above the temple entrance weren’t lanterns at all!

Instead, they were human heads floating in mid-air! These heads had wide open mouths, each holding a red candle in between their teeth, casting a dim light. Ma Long even saw their eyes spinning!

The beautiful woman beside him now bled from her orifices, and her long, black nails emitted a chilling glow that was more than half a foot in length.

“Brother, why are you trembling?”

The woman with black nails asked coquettishly.

Ma Long forced a smile that looked worse than crying and said, “I’m not trembling, I’m just… my legs are wobbly. Sister, do you have a restroom here? I need to pee!”

“All!”

The woman with black nails playfully punched Ma Long’s chest and said with a pout, “Brother, you’re so naughty, always saying shameless things… Fine, I’ll turn around. You can pee, I promise I won’t peek!”

At that moment, Ma Long’s mind functioned faster than ever!

He knew he was in a “ghost den.”

So, he couldn’t reveal any weakness… or he’d die for sure!

“They didn’t kill me yesterday; maybe they won’t do it today either… But I can’t rely on the whims of a few ghosts. I have to save myself!”

Ma Long glanced at the woman with black nails.

He knew he couldn’t run away.

So, while pretending to pee, he took out his phone, unlocked it, typed a message as quickly as possible, and pressed send:

“Xu Yang, save me!!!”

Afterwards,

he shook off the last drops of urine and pulled up his pants, looking ready to face death!

“What I need to do now is to outsmart these ghost women… If necessary, I can sacrifice my pride. Xu Yang can have sex with a ghost, so why shouldn’t I, Ma Long?”

However, Ma Long failed to notice that his phone screen lit up again in his pocket.

“Message sending failed.. Would you like to resend?”
