It’s impossible to spend all the Spirit Stones.

Moreover, he planned to visit several other shops to see if they had the Seven-Colored Copper and Earth Fire Stone he needed.

“We certainly take that.”

The female cultivator nodded with a smile.

Then she paused before continuing in a sweet, euphemistic tone, “However, our Qingyun Commerce Guild only purchases premium talismans. If the talismans are of poor quality, we do not buy them.”

“You can check the quality of this talisman.”

Lu Changsheng took out ten Second Rank lower-grade talismans.

“Please, Senior, rest in our VIP room here. I, myself, do not understand talismans well, so I need to ask the manager to appraise them,”

said the female cultivator as she took the talismans with both hands.

“Alright.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He knew that these receptionists were just ordinary cultivators.

Being able to recognize and appraise many spiritual materials was already quite commendable.

Asking them to judge the quality of Second Rank talismans might be asking too much.

He followed the other party to the second-floor VIP room to wait.

Before long,

a spirited old man in his fifties with white hair appeared with the female cultivator in the VIP room.

“Hu from the Qingyun Commerce Guild, seeing the exquisite quality of the talismans you wish to sell, I took the liberty of coming to meet you,”

the old man said politely as he made a salute to Lu Changsheng.

“You flatter me, Daoist Hu,”

Lu Changsheng responded, also making a slight salute, “In that case, it seems that your guild is willing to purchase my talismans.”

“Of course. With such quality talismans, the guild will buy as many as you have,”

“and is willing to purchase at 75% of the market price,”

said Manager Hu cheerfully.

“Seventy-five percent.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, “Then I thank you, Manager Hu.”

He knew that the Qingyun Commerce Guild’s purchase price for talismans was generally 60%.

At most, they would go up to 70%.

So offering 75% was already quite good.

“Besides the ten talismans just now, I have another fifteen here for Manager Hu to look at.”

Lu Changsheng took out another fifteen Second Rank lower-grade talismans and said.

He had a total of fifty-nine Second Rank lower-grade talismans on him.

But there was no rush to sell them all at once.

Moreover, he felt that Manager Hu’s visit was not just a simple courtesy call.

“Let me see.”

Manager Hu took the fifteen talismans and carefully examined them,

noting that they were all premium-quality talismans.

“These fifteen talismans, like the previous ten, would be 14,000 Spirit Stones at the market price. At 75%, our guild is willing to offer a purchase price of 7,900 Spirit Stones.”

“I wonder what Daoist Han thinks?”

Manager Hu asked.

“No problem, thank you Manager Hu,”

Lu Changsheng nodded when he heard the offer.

The price for these Second Rank lower-grade talismans averaged around four hundred Spirit Stones each.

Although his high quality premium talismans could fetch a higher price by an additional ten or twenty percent on the market,

the offered price was not unfair.

Moreover, his cost per talisman was only twenty-six Spirit Stones,

so a little less was still acceptable.

“I wonder if Daoist has any other needs?”

Manager Hu inquired.

“I need to purchase some talisman-making materials,”

Lu Changsheng said thoughtfully.

“Naturally, we have them, Bi’er,”

Manager Hu, guessing Lu Changsheng’s answer and confirming his speculation, smiled and instructed.

The receptionist named Bi’er took out a Jade Scroll, selecting and showing Lu Changsheng the Second Rank talisman-making materials.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng purchased thirty portions of ordinary, advanced, and superior quality Second Rank talisman paper and spiritual ink,

costing a total of 5,280 Spirit Stones.

“I presume Daoist is a Second Grade Talisman Master. If I may be so bold, are you part of any power?

If not, would you be interested in becoming a Guest Elder of our Qingyun Commerce Guild? We are always on the lookout for talents like you,”

Manager Hu invited after Lu Changsheng had finished his purchases.

“`

This was also the reason he had come in person.

Having seen the Second Rank Talismans earlier, he had discerned that Lu Changsheng’s achievements on the Talisman Path were extraordinary.

At the very least, he was a Middle Grade Second Grade Talisman Master.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng purchasing so many talisman crafting materials, his guess was confirmed, and he extended an invitation directly.

“Oh? May I know what responsibilities and benefits come with becoming a guest elder of your esteemed guild?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng asked aloud.

When this Shopkeeper Hu had come over, he had guessed that his visit wasn’t simply a courtesy call.

It turned out he wanted to invite him to join the commerce guild.

Originally, when he was at the Nine Dragons Market, making purchases for Second Grade Talisman crafting materials from the Qingyun Commerce Guild and Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he had also been asked about this matter.

But as he hadn’t revealed too much at that time, no managers approached him with inquiries.

Receiving the invitation now, he couldn’t help but be curious.

He wanted to learn more about the responsibilities and treatment that came with joining the Qingyun Commerce Guild.

“If fellow Daoist is willing to become a guest elder of our Qingyun Commerce Guild, you would only need to craft a batch of talismans for our guild each month, or provide talismans urgently when our guild requires them…”

“As for the benefits, not only is there a generous monthly salary, but fellow Daoist will also get an internal price and enjoy discounts when purchasing items from our Qingyun Commerce Guild.”

“Furthermore, whatever materials you need, our Qingyun Commerce Guild can procure them for you.”

“Moreover, our guild hosts a Grand Skills Competition every year, where fellow Daoist can communicate with many peers in the same field, exchange insights, and grow together.”

“Fellow Daoist should know that our Qingyun Commerce Guild is backed by the Qingyun Sect.”

“If fellow Daoist makes significant contributions to our guild, we have an internal recommendation quota from the Qingyun Sect which can be used to refer fellow Daoist into the Qingyun Sect.”

“Within the sect, fellow Daoist can not only receive instruction from core elders but might even be favored by an elder and taken in as a disciple.”

Shopkeeper Hu began to speak slowly.

“Join the Qingyun Sect?”

After hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows shot up.

He roughly understood the biggest benefit of joining the Qingyun Commerce Guild now.

Not only could he enjoy various benefits and treatment but also had the channel to enter the Qingyun Sect.

For many Loose Cultivators, being able to join an Immortal Sect like Qingyun Sect at an older age was naturally a much sought-after opportunity.

“I see, thank you, Shopkeeper Hu, for informing me.”

“However, I currently do not have any intention of joining other factions.”

“I will need to consider it for a while, and if I have any inclination in this regard later on, I will trouble Shopkeeper Hu then.”

Lu Changsheng slightly bowed with a hint of apology.

In his view, joining the Qingyun Commerce Guild and having the backing of the Qingyun Sect was not bad.

Not only was it good to benefit from a powerful backer, but it would also be much more convenient to collect materials in the future.

As for the responsibilities, if he only needed to craft a batch of talismans each month, it wouldn’t be too difficult for him, who had nearly a hundred percent success rate in Talisman Making.

It would just mean spending a bit more time and effort, and being slightly inconvenienced.

However, since his current identity was fake, it was naturally impossible for him to join the Qingyun Commerce Guild.

Should he reveal himself to be a Second Grade Talisman Master in the future, it would be worth considering.

“Of course, that is understandable. If Han fellow Daoist is interested, you can come and find me anytime,” Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile, not at all disappointed.

Because such matters were quite normal.

To have honed a skill to such a level, he was obviously invited many times already.

It was possible he was currently serving in some capacity within a certain faction.

How could he agree just because someone asked?

What he needed to do was extend the invitation and leave a good impression.

Hoping that when Lu Changsheng was inclined in this direction, he would consider their Qingyun Commerce Guild.

“Senior Han, here are your items.”

“A total of 24,880 Spirit Stones, deducting the 11,291 Spirit Stones for the materials and Talisman you sold, you need to pay 13,589 Spirit Stones.”

At this moment, the female Cultivator receptionist brought over the items Lu Changsheng had purchased and asked him to check them.

“Alright, there’s no problem.”

Lu Changsheng checked the materials in the Storage Bag and nodded.

“Fellow Daoist Han, you can just pay 13,000,” Shopkeeper Hu said with a chuckle, rounding down the amount.

“Thank you, Shopkeeper Hu.”

Lu Changsheng, realizing the show of goodwill, immediately expressed his thanks.

He paid with Spirit Stones and then took his leave.

After leaving the Qingyun Commerce Guild, Lu Changsheng went to an inn, as usual, to double-check his items.

Although a big store like Qingyun Commerce Guild wouldn’t usually do such things,

one must always be cautious.

Having confirmed there were no issues, Lu Changsheng changed his appearance and prepared to visit other shops.

To see if he could purchase the Seven-Colored Copper and Earthheart Stone he needed.
