Cultivation Starts with Rejuvenation

Li Ji'an frowned slightly and simply didn't waste words, instead, he took out a jade box from the storage pouch: "I have quite a few talismans."

"Oh, so the senior is a merchant. Please forgive us, in that case, please have some tea and wait for the vice president to personally receive and inspect them." The servant, seeing a jade box full of talismans, suddenly realized and hurriedly bowed to guide him.

Very soon, a maid in the hall approached quickly, bowed, and invited Li Ji'an to take a seat.

Then she served spirit tea.

Glancing at Fu Yuanjiang next to the seat, Li Ji'an drank the tea with a blank expression.

Qin Henian and his grandson both scrutinized Li Ji'an for a moment.

Qin Chuan lacked sufficient divine sense and couldn't sense anything unusual about Li Ji'an, assuming he was just a peer at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

However, Qin Henian's fake pill divine sense immediately sensed that the person before him was using a disguise technique, but he couldn't see through it, so he concluded that Li Ji'an was at least a true man of fake pill.

Qin Henian slightly cupped his hands.

Fu Yuanjiang turned his head and gave Li Ji'an a sidelong glance. Like Qin Chuan, he merely thought the other was an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator and found Qin Henian's proactive show of goodwill quite amusing.

"Is the Qin family out of ideas, trying to make connections with anyone they see?" he thought to himself, leaning back in his chair, looking at Li Ji'an.

"How many talismans did you purchase this time, my friend?"

"Not many." Li Ji'an closed his eyes to rest, unwilling to create more complications.

Nevertheless, Fu Yuanjiang became interested: "Since it's not many, my friend, why not sell all of them to me? I will buy them all at a half-percent premium. How about it?"

The Si Shui Commerce Association is currently in dire need of talismans. To curry favor with the association, the Fu Family has also bought many talismans recently.

However, there are too many resellers buying for the Si Shui Commerce Association, and their purchasing price advantage isn't significant. Thus, the quantity they acquired isn't large, and the quality is often subpar.

Upon hearing Fu Yuanjiang's words, Qin Henian sighed inwardly.

Coming to the Celestial River Grand Assembly this time, they were indeed unprepared.

Originally, they just wanted to test the waters, mainly to buy some core formation spiritual talent for Qin Chuan, but unexpectedly encountered a central region cultivation war and the major actions of the Si Shui Commerce Association.

A few days ago, he also thought about meeting the association like Fu Yuanjiang, but buying talismans is no small matter, and they didn't bring enough spirit stones.

After the Celestial River Grand Assembly, the president of the association will travel to the central region, and there will be no opportunity. Asking the family to send spirit stones here is too late.

"Not for sale!" Li Ji'an replied concisely.

Qin Henian's eyes lit up, a natural smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in goodwill once again to Li Ji'an.

Fu Yuanjiang frowned slightly, especially seeing Qin Henian's gloating expression, feeling even more displeased.

"Ahem~ I am Fu Yuanjiang, the head of the Fu Family from Guan Mountain Bamboo Sea. May I know your esteemed surname and name, my friend?" Fu Yuanjiang announced his name.

Li Ji'an turned slightly, back to him: "I don't like words."

Fu Yuanjiang's expression turned even darker instantly.

"Hahaha~" Qin Henian couldn't help but laugh on the opposite side.

"Two seniors, our vice president invites you." At this time, a steward came to invite them.

"Hmph!" Fu Yuanjiang gave Li Ji'an a glare, flicked his sleeves, and left first.

Qin Henian hurriedly got up, cupping his hands towards Li Ji'an: "I am Qin Henian. After your business is finished, would you like to have a drink?"

He wasn't, as Fu Yuanjiang said, out of options and targeting a merchant, but genuinely felt that the other's style was to his liking.

Li Ji'an rose leisurely, nodded towards Qin Henian, didn't agree to the invitation, then followed the steward towards the inner hall.
