Chu Ci put the talisman paper and cinnabar into the storage bag, then walked back with Wei Meng. Not long after they walked away, Wei Meng began to look around.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked in the direction he was looking, and saw a timid figure walking towards them.

"Junior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Wei..."

The voice was not loud, as if afraid of scaring Chu Ci and the other two.

Chu Ci looked up and saw that the man was in his forties, with a somewhat sallow complexion, short stature, and a very ordinary appearance. He was the Fei Cheng that Wei Meng had just mentioned.

Fei Cheng is already forty years old, with the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage. He also worked as a menial disciple in the Menial Hall.

The sect stipulated that those with inferior spiritual roots had to start as menial disciples. However, once they reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, they could become outer disciples and enjoy better treatment. Because the fifth level of Qi Refining was already the middle stage of Qi Refining, the sect was willing to invest more resources to reach this level.

Although Brother Fei Cheng's spiritual roots are not much stronger than Chu Ci's, he is very hardworking. It is said that he often helps some wealthy disciples who are unwilling to work to complete their contribution tasks, and then divides the contribution points equally. He then uses the extra contribution points to exchange for some elixirs and other things in order to improve his cultivation.

With continuous hard work, Fei Cheng finally broke through to the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage at the age of nearly 40, entered the Fiery Hall, and became a formal disciple. He also became one of the few disciples in the Golden Talisman Sect who could walk out of the Menial Services Hall.

"My two junior brothers, have you distributed all the talisman papers and cinnabar in the errand hall? I have twenty beauty illusion talismans here. Let's follow the previous rules." Fei Cheng asked with a smile, not as arrogant as the others when he saw the errand disciples.

"Senior Brother Fei, it is true that the talisman paper was distributed as you said, but..." Wei Meng said with a worried look on his face.

"But what?" Fei Cheng asked quickly.

"But unlike what you said, we only gave out 100 pieces of talisman paper and 10 bottles of cinnabar."

Fei Cheng was startled, then immediately said: "Then my information must be wrong, hehe...hehe..." Having said this, he quickly lowered his head and took away half of the talismans in his hand, and then said: "I must have said something wrong, there were originally 100 pieces. What Senior Brother said before, you two Junior Brothers must not mention it to outsiders."

Every time the disciples of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall received their annual salaries, Fei Cheng would be the first to arrive and exchange the Beauty Illusion Talisman in his hand for talisman paper and cinnabar. Chu Ci and Wei Meng were his key purchase targets.

Illusion talismans were originally used to disturb the opponent's mind during a fight. There are many types of them, one of which is the beauty illusion talisman, which will make people have the illusion that there is a stunning beauty around them.

This talisman itself does not have any offensive power, but Chu Ci and other errand disciples have discovered another use for it, so they are very fond of it and often use it for exchange. It can be said to be the circulating currency for male errand disciples.

The old rule that Fei Cheng mentioned was that five beauty illusion talismans were exchanged for one hundred talisman papers and ten bottles of cinnabar.

Chu Ci naturally knew about the exchange of talisman paper, but he certainly would not exchange it this time.

"I'm sorry, Brother Fei, I still have some use for these talismans, so I really can't exchange them today." Chu Ci said with regret as he looked at the talismans in Fei Cheng's hand.

Fei Cheng was obviously stunned. These beauty illusion talismans were more difficult to refine than ordinary first-level talismans such as fire bomb talismans.

Even if he often refined it, he still needed about ten pieces of talisman paper to succeed once. Every time he exchanged five illusion talismans for one hundred pieces of talisman paper and ten bottles of cinnabar, he made money from the difference.

He didn't expect Chu Ci's reaction today.

But it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t change, there are plenty of people who can replace him, such as Wei Meng.

Fei Cheng looked at Wei Meng again and said, "Brother Wei, what about you?"

"I'll change!" Wei Meng immediately took out his things and handed them over. Chu Ci wanted to stop him, but seeing Wei Meng so enthusiastic, he didn't say anything.

Fei Cheng took it in his hand and checked it carefully twice. After confirming the number was correct, he took away half of the talismans in his hand, counted them and found that there were five in total. He handed them to Wei Meng and then leaned over and whispered:

"The beauty illusion talisman that I refined this time is at least 70% similar to Senior Sister Chen Yun. Junior brother, you are so lucky."

Then he looked at Chu Ci again, "Junior Brother Chu, are you really not going to take a few pictures? They are 70% similar..."

"Really? It's a pity that I am really useful this time, otherwise I would have to exchange a few with Senior Brother Fei!" After saying this, Chu Ci had a regretful expression.

"Okay, in that case, I'll be leaving now. Next time you want to exchange, you two fellow brothers have to come to me, and you are not allowed to look for anyone else." Seeing that Chu Ci really didn't want to exchange, Fei Cheng didn't want to waste any more time, so he said politely and turned around to look for other sellers.

After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and said to the two of them, "Two junior brothers, I probably heard it wrong when I said 200 pieces of talisman paper each. Don't take it seriously."

Looking at Fei Cheng's receding figure, Chu Ci suddenly said, "Fatty, can you lend me one of the beauty illusion talismans you just exchanged?"

"Ah?" Wei Meng was stunned, with an expression of unwillingness, "Chu Ci, you didn't change it when Senior Brother Fei was here just now, but now you come to me to ask for it."

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Fatty, lend me one and I'll return two to you tomorrow."

"Really?" Wei Meng asked doubtfully. He couldn't think of where Chu Ci could get it. "What if you don't give it to me?"

"Haha, don't worry. If I say I'll give you two, I mean two. If I can't return them to you tomorrow, I can just compensate you with a hundred pieces of talisman paper."

After hearing what Chu Ci said, Wei Meng felt relieved. He took out a card from his storage bag with great pain and handed it to Chu Ci, adding,

"You must keep your word."

"Don't worry." Chu Ci agreed casually and took it, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.

Although the Beauty Illusion Talisman is also a first-level talisman, it is said that it is not included in the sect’s records.

I don't know which senior master invented it, but it has been circulated in the Jin Fu Sect for a long time. It has always been based on the most popular female disciples in the sect. In recent years, Chen Yun has frequently been on the list as the most beautiful woman in the Jin Fu Sect.

His predecessor had used this kind of talisman several times, and the beautiful woman that appeared in it was indeed somewhat similar to Chen Yun.

The reason why I borrowed it from Wei Meng today was naturally that I was planning to refine it according to the instructions. If I could draw this kind of talisman and exchange it for talisman paper from low-level disciples, wouldn't I have plenty of talisman paper for my own use?

After parting with Wei Meng, Chu Ci went to the dining hall first and took some steamed buns, meat and other things.

Although the Jin Fu Sect does not provide many cultivation resources to menial disciples, some worldly things are very abundant.

Disciples in the Qi Refining Stage cannot practice fasting and need to eat. The dining hall has a variety of food, including chicken, duck, fish and meat.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already afternoon. Chu Ci ate something casually and then prepared the talisman paper, cinnabar and other items.

Then he took out the beauty illusion talisman, and with a movement of his spiritual consciousness, he controlled the golden pen to start drawing.
