I can only say that they are worthy of being mother and daughter, and their eccentric behaviors are inherited from each other.
"Then you can choose it first. I'm going to go talk to your mother and will be back soon. By the way, don't worry about the price. We are all acquaintances. I won't cheat you."
As a talisman practitioner, he is actually not poor. In this world, dedicated talisman practitioners are relatively rare and valuable. Those who can draw talismans of good quality are even rarer. Almost every piece of talisman paper is a best-seller, so there is no need to worry about sales.
Most of Sheng Yuan’s previous wealth was accumulated in this way.
But now, the one who wants to buy his talisman is not someone else, but Zhou Li's daughter. Can he really accept the money? At most, he can just give it as a token of appreciation, so as not to make people think that he is asking for something for nothing. But the price cannot be the same as usual, otherwise it will be too outrageous.
Although Zhijian Peak was not considered poor, their Wandao Sect was a small sect that had fallen on hard times. It was hard not to wonder where they got the spare money from to buy such consumables which were not cheap.
Yes, talisman paper is like a cheat to use, it is extremely powerful, easy to store, and convenient to use, so there are basically no talismans that are too cheap.
Unless they are some very basic commonly used talismans, even if you are not a talisman practitioner, you can buy some talisman-making tools and draw them yourself.
Zhou Ling is the kind of person who wants to learn a little bit about everything. She has read several books on drawing talismans and learned the general production methods. She has also tried some very basic talismans that anyone can draw.
That kind of thing is really simple. With the help of spiritual power, you can succeed after a few tries.
But now, pick up a talisman from the table at random, the runes full of mystery and hidden energy are drawn on the paper like flowing light. They are lifeless, but full of vitality.
It is a wood-stimulating talisman that can activate the nearby wood spiritual power to the greatest extent.
My goodness, this is a far cry from the basic wood-type talismans! No wonder there is still a profession called talisman cultivation in this world.
However, the price of a talisman of this quality must be very attractive.
Finally, Zhou Ling picked and chose in front of this small table, and selected some talismans that were urgently needed for herself and her mother.
It felt like the selection process was taking quite some time, but when I looked up, I discovered that my mother and Sheng Yuan were still in the guest room not far away.
Didn't she say she would just chat for a few minutes and come back soon? It was already fifteen minutes later and she was still waiting to pay.
Since the talisman papers she selected were of high quality and very effective, she was mentally prepared for the price and the possibility of spending a large amount of money. She had already prepared her spirit stones, but the owner of the stall was reluctant to show up.
What Zhou Ling didn't know was that the stall owner had been reluctant to show up for so long because he had been dealt a heavy blow.
"I don't have any memories of my past life. I have been in this world for a short time. I can't remember anything from my past life and I only live in the present. Aren't you very curious about why I get so emotional and want to hit you when I see you? Well, I can tell you the exact answer right now. The answer is simple, because your face looks exactly like my rubbish husband who abandoned his wife and children! Your personality is similar, and your appearance is similar. Sometimes I even wonder if you... are the same person!"
When Zhou Li got excited, he started talking very fluently, with clear thoughts and distinct words, which made it easy for people to understand.
However, the most confused person was Sheng Yuan himself. Because of the inexplicable feeling in his heart, he didn't dare to look up at Zhou Li when he stood next to her. However, after hearing her words, he raised his head in disbelief and pointed at the tip of his nose.
"Looking exactly the same?"
He asked the question uncertainly because he already had the answer in his mind, which was that it was impossible.
His face was a unique symbol, and there was no other face like it in the entire world of immortal cultivation. He really wanted to ask Zhou Li, "Did you see it wrong?" There was no way someone could look exactly like him, but when he looked up again, he was met with Zhou Li's tearful eyes.
"I just want to ask you one question. Are you... the same person?"
Before asking this question, Zhou Li hesitated. She was looking forward to the answer, but she was also afraid of the answer.
However, after hearing this question, it was Sheng Yuan who fell silent again.
He looked a little dazed and slowly raised his head to meet Zhou Li's eyes that were eager to hear an answer.
"Actually, I just... subconsciously wanted to answer that we are not the same person. Although I am sometimes straightforward in my words and deeds, I still understand my own nature. I am an extremely responsible person. In times of crisis, I would not even abandon a stranger, so how could I abandon my wife and children for no reason?"
He looked straight into Zhou Li's eyes and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"You said that this is not a memory from the past life, but something that happened in this life, but I... but I don't know why, I can't remember it. I said before that something happened some time ago, so I didn't go out to collect thunder power, so now there are not enough thunder talismans. During that period, I wanted to conceal it, but now... I can only say that I doubt that period of time."
Sheng Yuan did not say what had happened specifically, but Zhou Li had been observing the changes in his eyes and found that he was still as sincere as ever. He knew without any guessing that every word he said was from the heart, absolutely authentic, and without any lies.
The scene fell silent again and no one spoke.
After all, for Zhou Li, what she lacks now is not a husband, and what her daughter lacks now is not a father.
What she lacked was the truth of that year and an explanation to herself and her daughter.
So when Sheng Yuan wanted to see her, she agreed, just because she wanted to ask him about what happened back then.
Different from Zhou Li who was calm and only wanted an answer, Sheng Yuan was almost panicking at this moment.
The whole person is in a mess, the heart is in a mess, there is no peace at all.
He raised his arms and tried to scratch his hair, but found that his hands were shaking unconsciously.
"if it is like this……"
He murmured softly, and then seemed to remember something, and his hands shook even more violently...
If his inference was true, he was the scumbag father who abandoned his wife, and Zhou Li, whom he had been thinking about since the first time they met, was actually his wife.
And the little girl whom he liked very much when he first met her was also his own flesh and blood!
There was too much information and the impact was too great. For a moment, Sheng Yuan's mind was buzzing and he couldn't calm down at all to think about anything.
"Look at you, are you thinking of something but not going to tell me?"
Zhou Li took a look at the expression on his face and slowly took a step closer, feeling a sense of oppression. (End of this chapter)
