In the Cultivation Realm, it’s not all about pursuing immortality and engaging in life-or-death battles.

There is entertainment among the people.

Folk performance troupes, among mortals, have almost no market in the Cultivation Realm.

Because tricks that amaze mortals can be easily seen through by cultivators, and if cultivators were to perform, they could often outshine mortals.

Yet in the Cultivation Realm, such embellishments are needed in the monotonous life.

Thus, a performance troupe like this exists.

The performances naturally consist of things most cultivators cannot do yet are captivating.

For instance, the ’Flying Skill Masterpiece’ showcases the performer’s ability to fly, achieving true flight, which must also be agile and versatile.

After all, flying is typically something only Foundation Establishment True Cultivators can achieve, so if a Low-Tier Cultivator can do it, it would undoubtedly astonish and excite others.

The Dharma Dance, conjuring something from nothing, battling between man and snake, is much the same.

It strives for uniqueness, thrills, marvels, and must be something ordinary cultivators find hard to accomplish.

Zhou Changwang recalled seeing it once as a child, brought by his father Zhou Qiankun, leaving a deep impression on him.

"It seems a performance caravan has indeed suddenly arrived at Fengming Dock Marketplace.

The time is three days from now.

The location will be the North District Square, not far from the Independent Cultivator Marketplace."

Zhou Changwang casually tossed the flyer to a curious cultivator passing by and soon walked into a shop.

This shop was none other than Talisman Inn.

At this time, the shop was not occupied by Zhou Changwang alone, besides the owner Wei Xingyuan, there was also a middle-aged cultivator appearing to be in his forties.

The two had used the Sound Insulation Technique and were discussing something.

Seeing this, Zhou Changwang was in no hurry and stood silently waiting at the side.

Not long after, the two removed the Sound Insulation Technique, and the shop owner Wei Xingyuan looked at Zhou Changwang and smilingly said, "Zhou Talisman Master, it’s been a while since you last came."

"I’ve been busy drawing talismans lately, lost track of time."

Zhou Changwang responded with a smile.

Then, his gaze turned to the middle-aged cultivator, who stood aside without intending to leave.

"Zhou Talisman Master, let me introduce you; this is Bai Shaoqing, like you, a Talisman Maker."

Seeing this, Wei Xingyuan offered a brief introduction.

"Greetings, Master Bai."

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands, though his eyes flickered.

So it’s a Bai.

Yet his face remained calm, and seeing that the other party did not deign to pay him much mind, he didn’t press the matter, instead pretending to be curious and asked Wei Xingyuan, "Boss Wei, it seems quite lively outside."

"It is indeed somewhat lively.

It seems a large caravan suddenly arrived from the north, amounting to several hundred people.

And among the caravan, there’s a performance troupe.

By the way, you probably noticed flyers being distributed when you came; they say the performance troupe is quite formidable, with the troupe leader being a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation High-Tier Cultivator, and the performances apparently even acknowledged by Foundation Establishment True Cultivators.

If you’re interested, you might go see.

They say, the one performing the Dharma Dance is a peerless beauty, as fair as a celestial being."

Wei Xingyuan picked up the conversation, smiling as he spoke.

"I’ll pass; I’d rather spend the time drawing a few more talismans."

Zhou Changwang replied with a dismissive wave.

He did not intend to go.

Such performances would inevitably attract most people in the marketplace, leading to crowds and mingling with various types, potentially resulting in issues.

He naturally did not wish to be involved in any of that.

He just wanted to get through these months peacefully, and then leave with the Shuiyun Pavilion cultivators before chaos descended.

He wished to avoid any disruptions during this period.

"Indeed, it’s best not to participate.

Originally, the performance troupe was already rejected by our clan leader, but unexpectedly they then approached the Chen Family. Despite knowing they were refused by our clan leader, that wretched Chen Jiudao not only agreed to let them perform but even specifically cleared the North Street Square for them... Clearly disregarding our Bai Family."

The Master Bai sighed coldly beside him, his expression turning somewhat displeased.

Zhou Changwang and Wei Xingyuan exchanged silent glances upon hearing this.

Yet, from his words, Zhou Changwang could confirm the man’s identity.

Sure enough, he was from the Bai Family, and even a Talisman Maker from there.

It’s unclear why he had come to Talisman Inn, and was apparently discussing important matters with Wei Xingyuan previously.

As for the affair of the Bai Family Patriarch refusing the performance troupe, only for Chen Jiudao to approve it, had little to do with him.

It was just a continuation of the conflict between the Bai and Chen families.

It now appeared, with the Bai Family Ancestor in seclusion recuperating, the Chen Family held the upper hand in the marketplace.

"Zhou Talisman Master, I wonder what spirit talismans you’ve brought this time?"

Not wanting to pursue the subject further, Wei Xingyuan swiftly turned to Zhou Changwang, inquiring eagerly.

"Over twenty days’ work has resulted in a fair collection."

Zhou Changwang glanced at Master Bai, then casually employed a Sound Insulation Technique, considering he need not shy away from Bai Shaofeng. He proceeded to reveal the spirit talismans he intended to sell this time.

A thick stack comprised of various spirit talismans.

"Fireball Talisman, Thunder Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, Light Body Talisman, Golden Shield Talisman... Zhou Talisman Master’s talisman making techniques are indeed advanced; you’ve managed to complete the Golden Shield Talisman so swiftly.

Wait, such a number of high-quality spirit talismans?

And these few, are these finished spirit talismans?"

Looking at the batch of talismans in his hand, Wei Xingyuan, who had been fairly nonchalant, suddenly had his expression change, revealing a look of astonishment.
