Zhao Yanchang

Wang Datou looked at Chen Changqing and said with a smile, "Changqing, I've already prepared five thousand coins for you."

As he spoke, he took out a money pouch from his pocket, poured out five gold leaves, and pushed it in front of Chen Changqing: "Here are five thousand copper coins. Take them and use them first. There's no need to rush to return them."

1 gold leaf = 100 silver leaves = 1000 copper coins.

Chen Changqing took it and asked, "Where are the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone? I'll write you an IOU."

Wang Datou waved his hand and said heartily, "Why write an IOU?"

Between brothers like us, why bother with all that formality? Take it and use it; pay me back whenever you have the money."

Wang Datou has always been a man of great courage. Since he has decided to invest in Chen Changqing, he will try to curry favor with Chen Changqing.

Then I'll decide to flatter them to the end.

Moreover, all five thousand dollars he won was from a scheme he orchestrated to defeat those stupid colleagues.

I don't feel bad.

Chen Changqing couldn't help but glance at the short and chubby Wang Datou a few more times, and his impression of Wang Datou changed considerably.

Although this guy is usually a bit snobbish, and although he has ulterior motives.

But I must say, it takes real guts.

Five thousand copper coins, no IOU needed, after all, the predecessor's reputation was terrible.

Chen Changqing nodded solemnly and said, "Datou, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

Wang Datou laughed and said, "No rush, no rush, take care of the matter at hand first."

After chatting for a while, Chen Changqing got up to say goodbye.

After Chen Changqing left, Zhang Cuicui came out and approached Wang Datou, saying with some concern, "Datou, why didn't you make Chen Changqing write an IOU? What if he can't pay it back? His reputation isn't good."

Wang Datou's face turned cold, and he scolded, "What do you know? Long hair, short brains. You can draw a fireball talisman in a month. Do you even know what that means?"

Zhang Cuicui thought for a moment: "That means it took a month to draw the fireball talisman."

Wang Datou paused, then said, "You stupid thing, does this mean he has exceptional talent in talismanic arts and will be rolling in money in the future?"

Even with abundant resources, it's possible to raise Little Black's cultivation to the seventh or eighth level of Lesser Demon, and to raise one's own cultivation to the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining.

Having reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, with his talent in talismanic arts, he could definitely become a second-grade talisman master. There were only four second-grade talisman masters in the entire Dayang County, all highly sought-after by the three great immortal clans.

A second-rank talisman master is a figure of importance among the three great immortal clans.

Just like Chen Changqing's master, Zhao Qingyao of the Zhao Immortal Clan.

Even the patriarch of the Zhao family had to give Zhao Qingyao some face.

For insignificant figures like them, who hadn't even reached the first level of Qi Refining, such beings were like the heavens.

"A second-grade talisman master." Zhang Cuicui slowly widened her eyes, clearly understanding the significance of being a second-grade talisman master.

Chen Changqing went to Wang Daqiang's house and borrowed another five hundred copper coins.

Chen Changqing left Wang Daqiang with an IOU and then departed.

arrive home.

Body training, archery practice.

By evening, Chen Changqing had recovered 80% of his spiritual energy, and he drew talismans again.

They succeeded twice more.

The black lotus petals continued to provide him with feedback on his insights and experiences in drawing fireballs.

Chen Changqing discovered that the experience and insights gained from successfully drawing the talisman were significantly greater than those from the Soul Devouring Creation Black Lotus.

The next morning.

The cultivation is over.

Start drawing symbols.

The first time I drew the talisman, I succeeded, but then the talisman skin suddenly burst into flames.

Strands of insight into the fireball talisman seeped into his mind.

carry on.

The next two attempts were both successful.

"Fireball Talisman +1"

Put away the fireball talisman you just drew, hide the remaining talisman skins, talisman brushes, and talisman ink in the house, and take the money you borrowed yesterday.

Chen Changqing looked at Xiao Hei, who was still training hard, and called out, "Xiao Hei, let's go to Dayang County."

A dark shadow darted in, and Xiao Hei landed in front of Chen Changqing, rubbing its big head against Chen Changqing's leg.

Chen Changqing patted Xiao Hei's head, preparing to remove the two bulky layers of weighted vests from Xiao Hei's body.

"Awoo." The little black tiger shook its head, meaning it wanted to wear it.

"Alright." Chen Changqing nodded. The two sets of weighted vests weighed more than 600 pounds, but they didn't have much of an impact on Xiao Hei now.

It's just a bit ugly.

Around noon, the two arrived in Dayang County.

Chen Changqing went to Lingfu Pavilion immediately to find his master, Zhao Qingyao.

I am preparing to complete Zhao Qingyao's assessment and become his official disciple.

Once he becomes Zhao Qingyao's disciple, his brother-in-law's wives will no longer dare to bully his sister.

But the staff at Lingfu Pavilion told Chen Changqing that Zhao Qingyao had gone to Nanping Prefecture to attend the Talisman Master Exchange Conference.

It will probably take more than two months before they can come back.

Helpless, Chen Changqing went to the home of his cronies, Zhao Yanchang.

The courtyard gate was not closed.

The chubby Zhao Yanchang blindfolded himself and then grabbed several scantily clad women.

"I'm here! Whoever I catch, I'll...hehehehe."

"Come here."

"Come on, come on."

"I'm here."

"Giggle..."

Several scantily clad women were teasing the fat man Zhao Yanchang with giggles, and the courtyard was filled with their silvery laughter.

Chen Changqing was too embarrassed to go into the yard, so he called out loudly from outside, "Fatty, I've come to pay you back."

Zhao Yanchang took off his blindfold and went to the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon seeing that it was Chen Changqing, his face lit up with joy, and he said with a smile, "Changqing, come and play with me!"

These are all girls I brought back from Zuixianglou.

"If you catch it, I'll let you play with it for a day; it's on me."

At first, Chen Changqing thought they were the fat man's new concubines, but he didn't expect they were all girls from a brothel.

In broad daylight, he brought a courtesan to his own courtyard.

They don't even close the gate to the courtyard, and they're playing such fancy games.

That's utterly absurd.

As expected of the notoriously scoundrel Zhao family, he is just like his predecessor.

Chen Changqing stepped forward and said, "Yanchang, I've come to pay you back."

As he spoke, he took out a gold leaf and three silver leaves.

"One thousand coins, including principal and interest, is one thousand and thirty coins."

Zhao Yanchang was very happy to see that Chen Changqing was actually very trustworthy and came to repay the money on time.

Zhao Yanchang took the money bag, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile, "I'm very happy that you came to return the money, but I'm not short of money lately. I've been like a gambling god lately, winning every time I gamble, and I've accumulated quite a bit of wealth now."

Zhao Yanchang raised his head slightly with a hint of smugness, glancing at Chen Changqing with his small eyes.

That look in his eyes seemed to say, "Quick, ask me how much it costs? I'm trying to show off."

Chen Changqing, being very polite, asked curiously, "How much did you win?"

Zhao Yanchang held up two fingers: "Twenty thousand copper coins."

Although Zhao Yanchang was a disciple of the Zhao family, he did not have much money.

People would always run up their accounts when visiting brothels.

Twenty thousand copper coins was a considerable sum for him.

Chen Changqing feigned an envious expression: "That's really impressive."

Chen Changqing's envious gaze pleased Zhao Yanchang greatly, and he said generously, "If you still need money, just borrow it from me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing immediately seized the opportunity and looked at Zhao Yanchang: "Then lend me 20,000 copper coins, with an interest rate of three percent, and I'll pay you back in a month."

First, borrow 20,000 yuan from Fatty to pay back the pig money owed to the ordinary farmers in the town.

He felt somewhat embarrassed about owing money to ordinary farmers for pigs.

Now that you've mastered the Fireball Talisman, your earning speed will skyrocket. Drawing five Fireball Talismans a day can earn you eight hundred copper coins.

That's over 20,000 a month. Next month, we'll be able to scrape together 20,000 for Zhao Yanchang.
