Chapter 274: Chapter 143 Red Mountain Lady (Seeking Monthly Ticket Mid-Month)_3

Chen Shi also nodded.

Master Xiao said, "Brother Zhao said your talismanic magic is exquisite and that you can paint talismans with empty hands. Brother Chen, could you please demonstrate?"

Instantly, Chen Shi drew a Peace Charm with his sword finger.

Seeing this, Master Xiao’s eyes brightened, and he smiled, "Brother Chen is young, but his prowess in talisman is extraordinary. In our Red Mountain Hall, there are less than ten who surpass you, and they are all either Incense Masters or Hall Masters. Brother Chen, would you be interested in joining the Red Mountain Hall? We can offer you the position of an instructor, with a monthly salary of thirty taels of silver."

Chen Shi said, "I need a lot of money; thirty taels a month only suffice for three days."

Master Xiao was shocked, "Ten taels of silver a day! Were you raised on silver?"

He thought for a moment and said, "Our Incense Masters only receive fifty taels a month. If that is not enough, they have to go out and hunt Evil Spirits to exchange for money at the government office. Originally, eliminating Evil Spirits was the responsibility of the government office, but they found it troublesome and many government officials died, so later it was handed over to us at the Talisman Master Association of the Red Mountain Hall. If you are strong enough, you can also hunt Evil Spirits and earn extra money. If you kill enough Evil Spirits, you can even become an Incense Master and receive fifty taels a month."

He added, "Don’t think of our Red Mountain Hall as a place that worships Evil Gods, we were originally quite destitute. You have seen Gongzhou yourself; without some power, it’s tough to survive. We talisman masters gathered together to form Red Mountain Hall. The full name of our group is Red Mountain Talisman Masters Mutual Aid Association, we engage in business that saves people, not in business that kills."

Chen Shi initially thought that Red Mountain Hall was somewhat sinister but felt slightly relieved upon hearing this and asked, "I came to Gongzhou merely to attend an exam. After the major exam, I plan to return to Xinxiang. Will that be a problem?"

Master Xiao smiled, "Red Mountain Hall is quite relaxed; you can leave whenever you want. However, once you leave Gongzhou, there will be no more monthly salary."

Chen Shi immediately agreed.

As everyone was speaking, suddenly the sound of the wind arose abruptly outside, the raging wind moaned like ghosts, getting closer and closer.

Inside the incense hall, the flames of the oil lamps darted about chaotically, suddenly roaring up and bursting into green flames, shooting up five or six feet high!

Master Xiao’s Nascent Soul was healing in the lamp flames when this Yin wind blew over, causing pain across his body as if cut by knives, making him involuntarily scream out in agony, rolling on the ground.

"Quickly activate the Wind Stabilizing Talisman!" he shouted.

Master Xiao hurriedly mobilized his Qi-Blood, trying to stabilize the Yin wind, but just as his Qi-Blood began to flow, the surroundings suddenly brightened. It was Chen Shi who had already activated a Wind Stabilizing Talisman with his Qi-Blood, stabilizing the Yin wind.

The surging green flames then returned to their normal color, and the flames began to recede.

"His talismanic magic surpasses mine!" NovelFire.Côm-cσ๓

Master Xiao stared at Chen Shi in astonishment, "Most of our talisman masters at Red Mountain Hall are not his match, probably only the Hall Master could surpass him!"

"Red Mountain, your people killed my disciple, are you trying to protect him?"

An old woman’s voice came from outside the hall, shouting, "Hand over the person, or I will bloodbath your Red Mountain Hall today!"

As soon as her voice fell, she suddenly roared loudly, and the window frames and doors of the incense hall were shattered by the roar, the violent wind blasted into the incense hall, and ninety-nine oil lamps were extinguished!

Utilizing the moonlight, Chen Shi looked out into the courtyard only to see it completely filled by a huge old woman’s head, blocking their view. Her mouth opened wide, continuing to bellow loudly!

"Heavenly Elder, you are being presumptuous."

A pleasant female voice came through, and hearing this voice, one couldn’t imagine that the person was the flesh mountain behind the incense hall but rather a young girl!

— Brothers, it’s the middle of the month, please have a look if there are any monthly tickets. Asking for a monthly ticket to rise in the ranks!!
