He began to attain enlightenment from the Demonic Sect.

Chapter 22 Seeking the Young Master

Du Jianyuan didn't care about anything else and directly stuffed the pot of spirit wine into her hand, smiling quite politely:

"I still have a lot of work to do. I'll discuss my insights on talismans with you another time."

"Hey, wait, wait, young master!"

Qin Mo called out hurriedly, but found that Du Jianyuan had no intention of stopping at all. She rushed up and grabbed him, her eyes pleading, and said:

"Young master... please listen to what I have to say."

Du Jianyuan dared not provoke such a woman, so he subtly withdrew his hand and said as he walked away:

"Maybe next time. I'm extremely busy right now, and I hope you can understand."

However, seeing that Qin Mo was determined to follow him without any regard for her reputation, Du Jianyuan said rather helplessly:

"What exactly do you want, fellow Daoist?"

Qin Mo pursed her lips, a pitiful look appearing in her eyes, and pleaded:

"I only beg you to listen to my words, young master... I really have no other choice but to ask you."

Not again?!

Du Jianyuan immediately became alert, sighed deeply, and said with a resolute look in his eyes:

"My abilities are meager, and I can't help you much, fellow Daoist... If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Mo knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and said:

"This humble servant begs you, young master..."

Du Jianyuan remained unmoved and simply moved the stone door to return to his cave.

As far as he was concerned, Qin Mo could kneel if she wanted to; he had no intention of helping her anyway.

"If you do not agree, young master, I will kneel at your door forever."

As the stone door slowly closed, Qin Mo's firm voice came from behind.

Du Jianyuan just chuckled and didn't care at all.

If asking for help only required kneeling for a long time, then he would like to kneel in the inner sect for ten or eight years, begging those seniors for some resources so that he could build a foundation for immortality.

With a muffled thud, the stone door slammed shut.

Du Jianyuan didn't take the matter to heart at all. He poured himself a cup of tea to catch his breath, then went into the quiet room and sat cross-legged.

After adjusting his breathing, he began to draw the Fiery Talisman.

For him, drawing the Fiery Talisman would not result in any loss, at most it would consume some magic power, which is better than drawing the mid-grade Explosive Talisman.

After all, a single medium-grade talisman costs ten catties of spirit rice, so I really don't dare to put pen to paper now. I'll earn the spirit stones first.

Only seven days had passed.

Du Jianyuan then drew two hundred low-grade Fiery Talismans, achieving a 100% success rate with no loss of talisman paper.

"After deducting the 120 sheets that need to be handed in, I can keep 80 sheets for myself, which is 960 catties of spirit rice..."

Thinking that this was the amount of spirit rice that could be earned in seven days, Du Jianyuan couldn't help but sigh.

What used to take years to earn, can now be done in just seven days!

"It's not fair to compare them like that, after all, I'm consuming a lot of resources right now..."

Du Jianyuan sighed softly, realizing that there was no need to rush to improve his cultivation level right now.

If he were to rush into cultivation as before, he would consume at least ten catties of spirit rice every day.

After all, the spiritual energy in a cave is always limited.

"I still have a hundred low-grade talisman papers. Hurry up and draw them. When Brother Falcon comes over, I can give them to him to sell."

Du Jianyuan sighed softly. He couldn't keep relying on the other party's kindness forever; he had to make an effort himself.

Three days later, at night.

Du Jianyuan noticed that the identity jade token was shimmering slightly, and knew that An Mingjun had arrived.

They left their marks on each other's jade pendants, and could sense each other by simply using magic to activate them.

After the seal was lifted, Du Jianyuan saw An Mingjun and Qin Mo kneeling outside.

The woman in the red dress looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Falcon Brother."

Du Jianyuan smiled and called out, inviting him to come in and sit down, before closing the stone door behind him.

An Mingjun held back from asking until he sat down, at which point he finally spoke:

"What's going on?"

"She asked me for a favor, but I refused, so she just knelt outside the door."

Du Jianyuan poured him a cup of tea and explained with a smile:

"She wasn't exactly kneeling the whole time, since she also had talisman-related tasks to complete. She would only kneel in front of my door after drawing the talismans each day..."

"Actually, she didn't come to ask me for a favor; she just wanted to ask you for one."

Du Jianyuan naturally knew what Qin Mo was planning.

After all, he was just a low-grade talisman master, and he was under the control of the servant leader. How could he possibly help the other party?

The only person who could truly help Qin Mo was An Mingjun, who was sitting right in front of her.

"I see."

An Mingjun suddenly realized what was going on, and took out fifty spirit stones and six mid-grade nourishing pills.

Before he could even speak, Du Jianyuan said directly:

"What are you doing, Falcon Bro? Those items aren't worth that many spirit stones!"

"It's not much different. I just made a small profit, so I'll give you some to buy spells and gather spiritual energy... By the way, did you see any spells you like in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall? Tell me about them, maybe I can give you some advice."

An Mingjun chuckled as he spoke, then changed the subject at the opportune moment.

"I've taken a liking to the 'Nine Palaces Suspended Evil Sword Control Technique,' and plan to buy it and, after mastering it, go to the Thunder Cave to gather spiritual energy."

After saying that, Du Jianyuan also took out two hundred Fiery Talismans from his storage bag and said with a serious expression:

"Brother Falcon, after we sell these talismans, we absolutely have to split them equally... Each talisman is worth twelve catties of spirit rice, so don't try to fool me."

"Lord Du, wait until you become the head of the service before you teach me how to do things."

An Mingjun clicked his tongue in admiration, picked up a Flame Talisman, examined it carefully, and praised it:

"The quality is not bad, but it is slightly inferior to my alchemy skills."

After saying that, he held all two hundred Fiery Talismans in his hands, then, somewhat incredulous, said with a dry throat:

"Besides these, were there also talismans drawn for the task?"

"Um."

Du Jianyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and added with a chuckle:

"It should only be slightly inferior to your alchemy skills."

An Mingjun rolled his eyes, put away all the talismans, and then said:

"I don't know much about swordsmanship, after all, I'm just an alchemist... I'll ask around for you tomorrow, don't rush to buy it."

"Don't bother with that. I've looked at all the spells in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, and this one is the most suitable, unless you can come up with a better spell."

Du Jianyuan said with a smile.

"Alright."

Seeing his insistence, An Mingjun could only nod.

After chatting for a while, before leaving, An Mingjun took out ten more spirit stones, but Du Jianyuan put them back.

"That's enough. I didn't spend the windfall I got last time, and besides, I'll be getting my monthly salary in a few days."

……

The stone gate closed again.

"Greetings, Lord An."

Qin Mo remained kneeling at the door. When she saw An Mingjun stop, she tactfully kowtowed.

"Should you beg me or him?"

An Mingjun asked a question with a calm expression.

"Please, young master."

"Oh?"

An Mingjun was somewhat surprised, and said with great interest:

"What do you want?"

"Seeking dual cultivation."
