Chapter 1141: [(846)] Late Night, An Unexpected Visitor (Second update for monthly votes)

The afterglow of the sunset descended.

Next door at Talisman Garden, Old Liu Tou was scolding his son for squandering the family’s wealth.

Little Liu Zi felt helpless.

They had earned so much; what was the harm in having a lavish meal occasionally? You couldn’t grow and strengthen a business by being stingy all the time.

However, he did not dare to voice this opinion.

After all, he was currently relying on his old man to advance to the Third Class soon, so he could become a proper Talisman Second Generation. Not to mention becoming a wealthy scion outside, but at the very least, he could live the good life in Sky Cloud County.

He had high hopes for Old Liu.

Just then, the sound of a car approached from outside.

“Is that a visitor?”

Little Liu was taken aback, hastily preparing to clean up, but then Old Liu Tou suddenly said, “They’re going next door.”

“Damn it.”

Little Liu cursed under his breath.

Couldn’t help but suggest, “Shall I go and call out to them later? Judging from their attire, they look like one of the local Hunting Groups, and they should have a high demand for talismans.”

“Forget it,” Old Liu Tou rejected his idea, saying indifferently while holding his meal, “We have a sign at the door. If people need anything, they will naturally come in. If they don’t come in, that already speaks volumes.”

Little Liu felt aggrieved, “A bunch of blind fools.”

Old Liu Tou glanced at him dismissively.

…

Less than three minutes passed.

The man with the ghostly face paid the final installment, took a few sets of formations, and left with Sun Mutao.

On the way out, however, he suddenly heard coughing from next door. Sun Mutao glanced over subconsciously and saw a young man with a broom sweeping under the Talisman Garden’s sign.

“They’re gone,” said the man with the ghostly face without a second look, getting into the car and calling out.

Sun Mutao hurriedly regained his composure and got into the car.

It left Little Liu feeling upset and pained.

…

Pei Jinye paid no mind to the petty schemes happening outside, scanning through the material information on the screen.

The drawing materials for these formations were actually quite cheap, but they sold at a good price, which was somewhat unexpected.

Even if he could get a good price, he wouldn’t use them for others; he needed them for himself.

But he didn’t mind if customers provided their own materials.

He pulled up the attribute panel.

Pei Jinye selected the cultivation techniques of this world.

No need to elaborate on “Heaven and Earth Life Character Art”.

This related to longevity, and it was definitely something he intended to practice.

Count “Burning Star” as one.

And, of course, his current main practices: “Heaven Star Attraction Array” and “Star Chronicle”.

These three were his major cultivation techniques.

Worth mentioning is that.

“Burning Star” has only the incomplete first part, but in terms of lethal power, it is comparable to the “Star Chronicle”, capable of Devouring other’s stars.

He began his cultivation in the back room, sitting cross-legged.

Although there was no Attribute Light Group here,

At least the cultivation environment was in place, and continuing to practice his techniques would bring considerable Attribute Points.

Finally felt like a dry tree bathed in the spring breeze.

A week went by in a blink of an eye.

Wen Xiyue rushed over in a panic, much faster than Pei Jinye had anticipated.

With her came that tall, reticent woman.

Pei Jinye looked up.

That shy little girl didn’t show up this time.

“Elder, if I want to add the Power of the Star to the Spirit Gathering Array, would that be difficult?” Wen Xiyue stared eagerly at Pei Jinye, full of curiosity.

Pei Jinye didn’t immediately answer, instead saying, “Could you show me your Power of the Star?”

Lu Xiyue looked to her friend.

Wen Xiyue was indeed straightforward.

She raised her hand.

A surge of orange light emerged.

Soft but with a hint of sharpness.

Pei Jinye thoughtfully said, “Okay. I need to first collect your Power of the Stars and sketch it into the formation. This process won’t take long. Next, you need to decide how long the Spirit Gathering Array will run for. Adding too many Elements can affect the stability of the formation. Of course, if your materials are strong enough, forget what I said.”

Wen Xiyue’s face immediately revealed joy as she placed the package beside her on the table: “Elder Pei, please have a look.”

Pei Jinye skillfully put on white gloves and unzipped it.

Seeing this, Wen Xiyue exchanged a glance with Lu Xiyue.

A trace of surprise flashed in both their eyes.

[That’s professionalism.]

“The materials are good, but I won’t need these two items. Overall, the materials are excellent. I can set a valve for you to turn on or off at any time, and the total use will be about 30 days. You can manage that time yourself.”

Pei Jinye nodded and commented.

He had confirmed that this young lady in front of him was a little rich girl.

He had seen these materials before on the business app, and they were not cheap… just these materials together would cost nearly two hundred Spirit Crystals.

Wen Xiyue suppressed the joy in her heart, knowing she had bet correctly.

After witnessing the effects of the Lu Xiyue sisters’ usage, she was pretty much certain that Elder Pei’s Matrix Strength was probably above Third Class.

For such an elite to stoop to dwell here, there must be some unknown story.

She imagined a lot.

In her eyes, Pei Jinye was not only powerful but also mysterious.

She generously said, “I’ll gift these two materials as a deposit to you, Elder Pei. I’ll pay you another hundred Spirit Crystals after the job is done.”

Lu Xiyue looked over in surprise.

But in her heart, there was nothing she could do but wryly smile.

That was indeed a big move.

Worthy of a rich lady.

But she also understood something and stayed silent on the side.

Pei Jinye was surprised and looked over as Wen Xiyue stated with frank eyes, “Elder Pei, if you find the price unsatisfactory, we can negotiate further.”

Pei Jinye shook his head: “Let’s go with what you said.”

He too was decisive.

The two immediately signed an agreement, but when Wen Xiyue saw the delivery date was just two hours away, she expressed surprise, “Two hours? Elder Pei, this… You are truly swift.”

“Cough cough.” Lu Xiyue coughed dryly beside her.

Wen Xiyue also realized she misspoke, her cheeks instantly flushing red.

Pei Jinye acted as if he hadn’t noticed and said, “It will be just after ten in two hours, but if you think it’s too late, you can come to get it in the morning.”

“Tonight will be fine.” Wen Xiyue could hardly wait to try her new formation.

…

The wind chime outside the door was sounded by the wind at some unknown time.

Pei Jinye had just classified the newly sketched formation, thinking it was Wen Xiyue who had come.

But almost instantly, he felt a chilling sensation.

“Not good!”

He felt a jolt in his heart.

A master is here!

Pei Jinye discreetly opened the back room door, put on a worldly and amiable expression: “Welcome.”

A woman dressed in a black gown like an elegant noble lady arrived, the focused light unable even to discern the face behind the courtesy.

In almost an instant of eye contact, Pei Jinye felt as if he had been targeted by some terrifying entity.

This was not Cave Heaven Level!

But an existence that transcended Cave Heaven Level!

The intense feeling of crisis brought by Ninth Rank Perception was like a blaring siren, constantly reminding Pei Jinye just how terrifying the mysterious woman before him was.

Amid the silent stand-off, Pei Jinye calmed himself down and feigned ignorance, asking in a soft voice, “What brings our distinguished guest here so late at night? Is there anything I can assist you with?”

“I’ve seen your formation, and it’s very interesting,” the woman slowly lifted her head, and beneath the black brim of her hat, that pair of eyes gazing over were as deep as the starry sky.

“So, are you good at breaking formations?”
