After parting with Lu Miaoge, Lu Changsheng wandered around the streets for a while before entering a deserted alley.

He took out the human skin mask from his storage bag, put it on, and donned a wide, grey-brown robe. He poured some pre-prepared liquid onto his palm and smeared it over his hands and neck, making his skin appear less fair.

In an instant, his handsome and dashing appearance changed into that of an ordinary-looking youth with dark skin.

Still, his stature remained tall and slender.

This was a basic disguise technique he had learned from Li Feiyu. It wasn’t very sophisticated, but it was sufficient for his needs.

Then, Lu Changsheng took out a talisman from his storage bag and used it on himself, causing his spiritual power aura to retract.

A middle-grade Aura Concealment Talisman!

Its effects were the same as the Aura Concealment Technique.

But it was several times more effective than the Aura Concealment Technique that Lu Changsheng had just started to learn.

Unless it was an Energy Refinement Late Stage cultivator using the Spiritual Eye Technique, they wouldn’t be able to perceive his cultivation level.

This was also why Lu Changsheng usually didn’t spend too much time and energy on cultivating spells.

For one thing, it was too time-consuming and effort-intensive.

On the other hand, many times, talismans could be used as a substitute.

“Sigh, sometimes being handsome is also a kind of trouble,” he sighed, stepping out of the alley.

Lu Changsheng’s good looks and exceptional aura made him very memorable, which could be problematic.

If he were to sell talismans and later be recognized as the owner of the Lu Family Spiritual Talisman Shop, it would be awkward to explain.

So, it was better to change his appearance and conceal his aura, making him look more ordinary.

Although this disguise technique was very basic and even a bit rough, and some people might recognize the disguise,

as long as no one saw his true face or remembered him, it should suffice.

Having left the alley, Lu Changsheng made his way to the entrance of a street.

He saw several youngsters squatting there, looking around with signs that read ‘Guide’.

Before he could approach, one of the youngsters came up to him enthusiastically, saying, “Senior, do you need a guide?”

“I grew up in Nine Dragons Market and am very familiar with every area. Whatever you want to know or purchase, I have all the details,” the youngster spoke with enthusiasm.

Although Lu Changsheng had disguised himself and concealed his aura, making him look just like an ordinary person,

these youths, who made their living in Nine Dragons Market as guides, naturally had a certain insight.

They could tell at a glance that Lu Changsheng was interested in hiring a guide.

Even if he wasn’t interested, at most, it would just be one wasted question, no loss at all.

“How much do you charge for your services?” Lu Changsheng nodded and asked.

“Senior, I only charge one spirit stone for a day,” the youth immediately replied.

A spirit stone weighs ten liang.

After the spiritual energy inside is consumed, the weight will become lighter.

During the mining of spirit stones, there will also be some broken fragments known as spirit stone shards.

These units of spirit stones are seldom used by cultivators.

They are relatively common only in marketplaces like this one.

“Okay, then take me around. You have change for spirit stones, right?” Lu Changsheng asked upon hearing this and took out a spirit stone he had previously used that weighed around four or five liang.

The youth showed a hint of regret in his eyes but immediately responded enthusiastically, “Yes, I do.”

After taking and examining the spirit stone, weighing it briefly, he then took out two spirit stone shards and handed them to Lu Changsheng.

The youth then said, “Senior, may I know what you are looking to buy or learn about?”

“Take me to the stalls where they trade,” Lu Changsheng said.

“The trading stalls are on Southwest Street. This way, please, Senior. It’s about a half-hour’s walk from here to Southwest Street. If you have anything specific you wish to purchase, you can also tell me. I know of quite a few shops where the quality of the items is guaranteed…”

The youngster continued.

As guides, the real money was in taking cultivators to spend in shops.

“Is there any shop in the marketplace that sells rare treasures and exotic goods?” inquired Lu Changsheng.

“If Senior wishes to purchase rare treasures and exotic goods, you can go to Qingyun Commerce Guild and Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Not only are their prices reasonable and their selection vast, but the quality is also guaranteed,”

“If Senior wants to spend a little less money, I also know quite a few shops selling rare treasures and exotic goods with guaranteed quality that I can take you to,” the youngster said immediately.

Even though he wanted to earn money by bringing customers to shops, he wouldn’t blindly lead others astray; he couldn’t afford to deceive people.

After all, he was just a mortal.

If he dared to deceive a cultivator and was found out, it would mean certain death.

“What if I want to sell some talismans, are there any shops that will buy them?” Lu Changsheng asked in an even tone.

Hearing that Lu Changsheng wanted to sell talismans, the youth immediately realized that Lu Changsheng might be a Talisman Master.

However, as a guide, he naturally wouldn’t inquire further; his job was to provide information.

He promptly said with respect, “Senior, most of the spiritual talisman shops in Nine Dragons Market will buy talismans.”

“Then, are there any well-reputed talisman shops in the marketplace?” continued Lu Changsheng.

“Actually, to be able to open a shop in the marketplace, they all have a good reputation, but if we are talking about the best reputation for talismans, naturally it’s the Tianfu Pavilion of the Shen Family. Their talismans not only guarantee quality, but they also often have special offers. However, they don’t usually buy talismans from outsiders,”

“Next would be the shops of Families like Bi Lake Mountain’s Yu Family, Qingzhu Mountain’s Lu Family, Red Leaf Valley’s Chen Family, and Wugong Ridge’s Zheng Family… Their quality and reputation are guaranteed,” the youngster said.

“If Senior is looking to buy talisman paper, I would recommend the Lu Family of Qingzhu Mountain and the Chen Family of Red Leaf Valley. Their talisman paper is made with their own materials, which makes it much better than average…”
