Since the results have been identified, and it’s quite a good fit for him, Liou Yuan made up his mind and took out his badge, waving it towards Qiu Can, who was still jokingly cursing with Qiu Ming in the courtyard: "Brother Qiu Can, I’ll buy this Profound Brilliance."

"Mr. Liou knows his stuff!" Qiu Can exclaimed excitedly, taking a few steps forward to accept Liou Yuan’s badge.

This spiritual sword, which is as useful as a chicken rib, was actually a failed creation by his master, left in the yard to gather dust.

Even if he sold it at a discount, it was still a profit.

Afraid that Liou Yuan might change his mind, Qiu Can grabbed his badge and headed straight for the Artifact Refining Pavilion’s trading area.

After Qiu Can left, Qiu Ming approached Liou Yuan, carrying the yellow brass giant axe he was so fond of, with a shameless smile on his broad face: "Liou Yuan."

"Lend me some performance points. Once I break through to the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer and receive the rewards, I’ll pay you back."

Liou Yuan glanced at Qiu Ming, noticing his enamored expression for the giant axe and immediately understanding his intention.

"How much?" Liou Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Ten points." Qiu Ming pointed at the giant axe, exasperated: "It’s a middle-grade magical artifact. My stingy cousin refuses to lower the price no matter what."

Liou Yuan shook his head, thinking that it was thanks to Qiu Ming that he got a good deal this time, and agreed: "Alright."

He wasn’t worried about Qiu Ming not repaying him.

After all, being a Five-Star Star Acupoint, with a year’s worth of cultivation resources from Five Extremes Mountain, he should easily reach the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.

Thus, this outing cost Liou Yuan seventeen points out of his forty performance points, leaving him with twenty-three points.

Transaction settled.

Before leaving, having made this transaction, Qiu Can was in a good mood and specially saw Liou Yuan and Qiu Ming off to the door of the Artifact Refining Pavilion, saying boldly: "Mr. Liou, if you need to buy magical artifacts in the future, feel free to visit me at the Artifact Refining Pavilion; the price is definitely fair."

He didn’t know Liou Yuan’s background, but seeing that he paid without even frowning, he guessed he got the performance point reward for new disciples. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Additionally, with an impressive cultivation already at Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, he must be a Four-Star Star Acupoint talent.

Building ties with such a talented disciple has no downside for him.

Yet his cousin Qiu Ming was still beside him, not sparing him any face, and mercilessly rebuked: "Fair my ass, selling your brother ten performance points; you’re a swindler."

"Go ask at the Artifact Refining Pavilion, any middle-grade magical artifact costs at least ten performance points. I’ll tell you, this Yellow Jade Axe is worth at least twelve performance points; you just got a deal and still act all innocent."

Qiu Can didn’t pamper Qiu Ming and argued back fiercely.

Liou Yuan listened quietly without intervening.

Actually, there’s something he’s been pondering over for a long time. He got preoccupied with magical artifacts today at the Artifact Refining Pavilion, only recalling it upon leaving.

After the brotherly bickering, Liou Yuan finally recalled the primary business. Once the Qiu family’s two brothers were almost done arguing, he asked Qiu Can: "Brother Qiu Can, is there any channel to get a talisman pen?"

A talisman pen isn’t exactly a magical artifact, but strictly speaking, it belongs to the category of magical artifacts.

Qiu Can is an artifact refiner, so asking him felt like the right move. Even if he didn’t have one, he would likely know the related channels.

Sure enough, Qiu Can responded immediately: "The talisman pen is a delicate craft, and there’s not much market for them since there aren’t many talisman makers. Thus, the Artifact Refining Pavilion doesn’t have ready-made talisman pens. Those talisman makers usually custom-order from my master."

Qiu Can advised: "And don’t buy those ready-made talisman pens, the water in that market runs deep. The quality of a talisman pen isn’t like magical artifacts where you can tell by using it. Some are made from leftover materials, and you’d never know holding it in your hand, but using it is vastly different. This could cost you several times the markup."

"Best to acquire spiritual hair yourself, then find an artifact refiner for customization, just pay a little fee."

When Qiu Can mentioned leftover materials, Liou Yuan thought of the talisman pen that Ge Jinhong cherishes.

Not sure what quality it is.

Given Ge Jinhong’s status, he certainly couldn’t afford a talisman pen.

Either it’s a pen made from leftovers, or he got it along with his "Talismanic Skill" opportunity.

The latter seems more likely.

Liou Yuan doesn’t have the discerning eye to evaluate talisman pens, so hearing Qiu Can mention his master’s involvement stirred his interest: "How much does the elder charge?"

Qiu Can spread open his hand, smiled: "Five performance points."

"Forget it then!" Liou Yuan shook his head, abandoning this thought.

Having bought two magical artifacts, his remaining performance points were not much.

Plus, at Five Extremes Mountain, performance points are crucial, spending five points on customizing a talisman pen goes beyond his budget.

Seeing Liou Yuan, Qiu Can thought he intended to learn talisman making, and indeed, the five-point cost for customization was expensive. Thus, he proposed: "As for talisman pens, they aren’t particularly expensive but troublesome. You just need the spiritual hair from cultivated monsters roaming the mountains to refine it."

"If you can provide the spiritual hair, I can try, only charging you two performance points."

After spending such a long time at the Artifact Refining Pavilion, Liou Yuan figured that trying a few more times, Qiu Can should be able to craft one, so he agreed right away.

"Great! Thank you, Brother Qiu Can."

Before leaving, Qiu Can specially advised on which areas of various beasts’ hair are most suitable for making talisman pens.

If Liou Yuan plans to go out of the mountain gate to hunt monsters, their blood is quite good for crafting talismans.

Additionally, every part of the monster’s body makes excellent refining materials.
