Chapter 59

Rong Kexuan was taken aback, and he nodded thoughtfully.

Due to having plenty of spirit coins, whenever Rong Kexuan saw something he liked in the market, he would buy it immediately without haggling.

Such a buyer was naturally the most welcome by merchants. However, what surprised Rong Kexuan was that someone in the market was idly paying attention to generous buyers.

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and said, "Young sir, to be honest, we have some good goods for sale. Hehe, we wouldn't waste time dealing with buyers who don't have deep pockets."

Rong Kexuan was curious and asked in a deep voice, "What kind of goods? Show them to me."

This was the Rong family's main residence, and he was a direct disciple of the Rong family. As long as he shouted, family experts would soon arrive. Therefore, he wasn't very worried.

The middle-aged man's face showed a bit of difficulty, "Young sir, the goods are valuable, and it might not be convenient to take them out here."

Rong Kexuan snorted, "If you want me to go to some secret room for the transaction, forget it." After saying that, he lightly waved his sleeve and turned to leave.

In a public place, he naturally wasn't afraid. But if he went to some unknown place, or even left the Rong family's main residence, no matter how good the goods were, he wouldn't be interested.

One must be cautious, and he understood this principle.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stopped him, "Young sir, don't be in a hurry. We can find a teahouse and go to a private room to talk, how about that?"

Rong Kexuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Alright." He looked around and pointed to a tavern not far ahead, "Let's talk there."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Young sir, you are indeed cautious. As you wish."

Seeing that the man agreed without hesitation, Rong Kexuan's vigilance decreased by a large margin.

The two entered the tavern and got a private room. Rong Kexuan casually ordered a few dishes and said straightforwardly, "Show me the goods quickly. As long as they are good, I won't be stingy."

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, "Good, young sir is indeed straightforward." He took out a box from behind his back and opened it carefully, "Young sir, take a look at these talismans."

"Talismans?" Rong Kexuan was taken aback, and his heart instantly cooled by half.

In recent times, he had already made thousands of various talismans. If the middle-aged man had a few spirit warrior talismans, it would be a huge joke.

The middle-aged man noticed the slight disdain on Rong Kexuan's face and hurriedly said, "Young sir, these are communication talismans I obtained with great difficulty. Look, these four main talismans can automatically accumulate enough energy every hour, and messages left on one talisman can appear simultaneously on the other main talismans." He swallowed, anxiously, "These are all high-quality talismans, treasures from the battlefield, far superior to ordinary items."

Rong Kexuan's eyebrows raised, and he was greatly moved.

Talismans are a profound branch of spirit arts.

Besides warrior talismans and spell talismans, there are also some talismans with very special functions.

Communication talismans are one of them.

However, in the first floor of the scripture hall, Rong Kexuan did not see any books on making communication talismans. This shows how precious they are, and they are not something ordinary people can possess.

His gaze flickered, and Rong Kexuan looked at the man seriously.

Though one cannot judge a person by their appearance, he couldn't sense any true qi or spirit energy from the man.

It seemed that the middle-aged man was just an ordinary person, but the possibility of an ordinary person obtaining communication talismans was almost zero. There must be a powerful force behind him.

As if reading Rong Kexuan's thoughts, the middle-aged man chuckled, "Young sir, I am just acting on behalf of a friend to find a buyer. Hehe, whoever offers the highest price gets the talismans."

Rong Kexuan said slowly, "Sir, you are showing such precious items, aren't you afraid I might take them by force?"

The middle-aged man shrugged, "If you don't recognize their value, it's fine. But if you do, you will know how precious they are. Hehe, since my friend could obtain these, he is not an ordinary person. Young sir, you are so generous, you wouldn't ruin your relationship with my friend over a bit of money, right?"

Rong Kexuan laughed, "That makes sense."

He brought the box to the front and indeed found four flat talismans inside. He casually picked one up.

The talisman looked like an ordinary piece of parchment, but when held, he could sense the vast spirit energy flowing within.

Rong Kexuan said in a deep voice, "Can I try it?"

"Of course," the middle-aged man smiled, "If we can't test it, who would believe it's a rare communication talisman?"

Rong Kexuan nodded and extended his finger, lightly drawing on the talisman.

As his finger moved, a line of clear text appeared on the talisman. More incredibly, the same text appeared on the other three talismans in the box.

Rong Kexuan watched silently, taking out each talisman in turn and writing some meaningless words on them with his finger.

To his delight, no matter which talisman he wrote on, the message appeared clearly on the others.

After a while, he was certain that these talismans were indeed the legendary communication talismans.

Taking a deep breath, Rong Kexuan said, "How much do you want?"

The middle-aged man smiled and held up one finger, "Young sir, I don't want much, this is enough."

Rong Kexuan blinked, "One hundred spirit coins?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback, his facial muscles twitching. He forced a bitter smile, "Young sir, you are joking. This amount of spirit coins isn't even enough for the materials, let alone the great risk we took to sell this item."

Rong Kexuan frowned, "Is it one thousand spirit coins?"

"Exactly," the middle-aged man nodded, "One thousand spirit coins is the lowest price. Any less, and I'll leave immediately."

Rong Kexuan looked at him for a while, seemingly hesitant.

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over his hand, "Young sir, you even have a spatial ring. You wouldn't be so stingy as to not part with a mere thousand spirit coins, right?"

Rong Kexuan laughed, "Sir, you have keen eyes. Alright, I'll buy it." He flicked his wrist, took out a bag, and threw it over.

The middle-aged man checked it and smiled, "Deal, thank you for your purchase." He bowed and turned to leave, not staying a moment longer.

Rong Kexuan's gaze flickered, and for some reason, he felt a bit uneasy.

He suddenly stood up, paid the bill, and hurriedly returned home, going straight to Rong Jielin's room.

Compared to his grandfather, the old man was truly well-informed. If there was anything wrong with these talismans, he would definitely notice.

Rong Jielin listened silently to his grandson's description and carefully examined the talismans. Then he sighed, "Kexuan, your luck is really good. You can even encounter such a good deal."

Rong Kexuan was slightly taken aback, "Grandfather, are these talismans flawless?"

Rong Jielin said slowly, "The talismans are slightly damaged but still functional, with no obvious defects. Hehe, such talismans are usually essential for large families or military leaders. If my guess is correct, these talismans were damaged in battle, collected, and repaired before being sold."

Rong Kexuan frowned slightly, "Are these repaired talismans reliable?"

Rong Jielin thought for a moment, "In a large battlefield, there are various methods to isolate information, so these talismans might not be reliable. However, if you enter the deep mountains, these talismans can be very useful."

Rong Kexuan's eyes lit up, "That's right. If my brother and I each have one talisman, we can always stay in contact." He said excitedly, "We can search in different areas, expanding our search range threefold. And with this, we can communicate and support each other."

Rong Jielin laughed, "Exactly, so I said, buying communication talismans while shopping is really good luck."

Rong Kexuan smiled warmly, but in his heart, he thought.

It seems my luck is really good, just like getting a pillow when you are sleepy.

Just as the grandfather and grandson were excited, Rong Cai quietly walked in, "Young master, Miss Wang Xiaoxiao is here to visit."

Rong Kexuan was surprised and happy, "Senior Sister Wang is here, I'll go see her."

Watching his grandson leave in a hurry, Rong Jielin shook his head with a bitter smile, "Sigh, this boy is too impulsive."

Rong Cai smiled slightly, "Sir, in my opinion, Miss Wang has a good impression of the young master. What do you think?"

Rong Jielin pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Miss Wang's status is no small matter. In our Rong family, she is like a guest expert, and even the elders dare not be impolite to her." He paused, "Kexuan, though talented, whether he can win her favor is uncertain."

Rong Cai shook his head, "Sir, the young master is the most talented and determined person I have ever seen. He is worthy of Miss Wang."

Rong Jielin nodded slowly, but after a moment, his brows furrowed, "However, I heard that Miss Wang has a health issue, which might not be a good choice."

Rong Cai was startled, "Does Miss Wang have a health issue? I can't see it."

Rong Jielin looked at him deeply, "This is what my brother said. You know, but don't spread it."

"Understood," Rong Cai bowed deeply, not daring to say more.

Rong Jielin's gaze was profound, and he said slowly, "We need not obstruct or encourage. Let everything... happen naturally."
