Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1967 - 1964: A Fool’s Dream

Not long after, the two walked side by side, heading directly to the Treasure Street of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

This Treasure Street is a street spontaneously formed by the disciples of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

Disciples who obtained various opportunities in their missions on ordinary days, if they couldn’t use them themselves, would set up stalls here to sell them.

Now Xu Wendong and Li Jiayin came here to pick some treasures from these dazzling stalls.

If there was anything to enhance Xu Wendong’s strength, they naturally planned to acquire all of them, to add some winning chances for Xu Wendong in the selection competition.

Upon reaching Treasure Street, a bustling scene unfolded before their eyes.

There were many disciples from the Heavenly Nether Sect here, and the stall owners enthusiastically hawked their wares, displaying the treasures at their stalls.

Shopping disciples weaved between stalls, their eyes full of longing for rare treasures.

The place was bustling, with the sounds of hustle and bustle rising and falling, no less lively than Wu Family City.

Moreover, the treasures here were all carefully selected quality items, with no chance for lucky picks or scams and fraudulent acts.

As soon as Xu Wendong stepped onto Treasure Street, his unique aura immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Isn’t that Lin Mo, a disciple from Sect Master Peak?" one disciple spoke first, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

"Is it him? I heard he got the Painting Saint Carving Knife." Another disciple chimed in, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"What’s he doing here? Could it be he’s here to sell the Painting Saint Carving Knife?" someone speculated.

For a moment, many disciples turned their gaze towards them.

However, they were even more surprised to see Li Jiayin actively holding Xu Wendong’s arm.

Li Jiayin’s affectionate manner, with her cute face slightly flushed, and her eyes filled with tender affection gazing at Xu Wendong, made anyone uninformed really think they were a sweet and loving Daoist couple!

This scene angered quite a few male disciples.

They looked at Xu Wendong, their eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

This guy, as if having profound fortune wasn’t enough, even managed to win their Heavenly Nether Sect’s Iceberg Beauty!

In their hearts, Xu Wendong’s "sins" were practically countless.

"Senior Sister, how about letting go of me first?" Xu Wendong felt uncomfortable all over, sensing the predatory gazes from his fellow disciples around him, and said awkwardly.

Li Jiayin, however, gently shook her head, a touch of playfulness flashing in her eyes: "I won’t. How come you dared to hold my waist in Wu Family City, but now you shy away from me holding your arm?"

"It’s not the same." The embarrassment on Xu Wendong’s face became increasingly evident.

"What’s the difference?" Li Jiayin snorted lightly.

They had been through many things together, deepening their feelings long ago.

Li Jiayin wasn’t as cold as she appeared; she also longed for love and for a man who could conquer her, and Xu Wendong happened to be that man.

Once she deemed him hers, she would become incredibly clingy.

Seeing this, Xu Wendong stopped saying much, letting Li Jiayin hold his arm as they continued on.

Soon, the two reached a stall.

The stall displayed many talisman papers of various colors and seemingly fine quality.

Having just received the Painting Saint Carving Knife, Xu Wendong knew he could now inscribe a large number of Netherworld Talismans, making these talisman papers a timely assistance for him.

"It’s Senior Sister and Junior Brother Lin Mo, are you here to buy some Netherworld Talismans?" The disciple managing the stall, named Zhou Ran, was precisely the disciple of the Eighth Elder, Qi Lechun.

He was tall and slender, with a delicate appearance, and his eyes bore a focus and persistence towards the Path of Nether Talisman.

Zhou Ran was also a Nether Talisman Master, merely in his thirties, yet already a Third-grade Nether Talisman Master.

In the Path of Nether Talisman, he displayed tremendous talent, being hailed as a genius, with a highly probable future of succeeding Qi Lechun and becoming the top Nether Talisman Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect.

"Senior Brother Zhou Ran, I’d like to buy some talisman paper." Xu Wendong respectfully cupped his hands and said politely.

"Oh?" Zhou Ran was slightly taken aback, instantly recognizing that the Painting Saint Carving Knife was in Xu Wendong’s possession, guessing that Xu Wendong might have started cultivating the Path of Netherworld Talismans.

Beginners in the Path of Nether Talisman usually required a large amount of talisman paper as consumables.

He slightly curled his lips, revealing a faint smile, immediately producing a stack of talisman papers from under the stall, handing it to Xu Wendong.

"Junior Brother Lin Mo, take these talisman papers and use them. Come find me if you need more." Zhou Ran generously offered. He had no grudges with Xu Wendong, though he yearned for the Painting Saint Carving Knife, he knew even his mentor couldn’t acquire it, so he had long stopped dreaming.

Yet Xu Wendong remained unmoved, gently shaking his head.

"Are these talisman papers not enough?" Zhou Ran inquired curiously, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He fetched some more talisman papers from the stall, handing them to Xu Wendong, but Xu Wendong still shook his head in refusal.

"Could it be the grade is not sufficient?" Zhou Ran scratched his head, already feeling a bit displeased inside.

First-grade Netherworld Talismans required relatively normal talisman paper, not particularly precious.

Yet Second-grade Netherworld Talismans demanded far more expensive talisman paper, and even for Zhou Ran, purchasing it would feel quite painful on the wallet.

Nonetheless, Zhou Ran gritted his teeth, retrieving a small stack of Second-grade Talisman Paper from his Storage Bag.

"Junior Brother Lin Mo, I don’t have more than this. Each piece of this talisman paper is priced at a thousand Nether Crystals, totaling fifty pieces. I’ll charge you fifty thousand Nether Crystals."

Second-grade Talisman Paper, placed in the Netherworld Pavilion, starts at a minimum of five thousand Nether Crystals.

At this point, Zhou Ran was giving plenty of face to Xu Wendong.

Yet Xu Wendong remained unmoved, shaking his head once more.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Ran’s face instantly turned cold, with a trace of chill crossing his originally gentle eyes.

Many disciples around noticed the anomaly and huddled closer out of curiosity.

They couldn’t help but speculate in their hearts, was Xu Wendong here to make trouble?

Even Li Jiayin was stunned, looking at Xu Wendong with confusion in her eyes.

Xu Wendong didn’t want even the Second-grade Talisman Paper; could it be he was aiming for Third-grade Talisman Paper?

It’s known that Third-grade Talisman Paper was extremely expensive, with each piece worth tens of thousands of Nether Crystals!

"Senior Brother Zhou Ran, this guy came specifically to annoy you. Do you know he possesses the Painting Saint Carving Knife? I think he’s deliberately here to flaunt it in your face!"

At this moment, Liu Hao approached with an arrogant stride, followed by many hangers-on basking in reflected glory beside him.

Hearing Liu Hao’s words, Zhou Ran’s expression grew darker, starting to believe that Xu Wendong was indeed here to give him a hard time.

"Junior Brother Lin Mo, what exactly do you want? Just speak your mind." Zhou Ran said coldly, with repressed anger in his voice.

Despite having a good temper, he was not a pushover!

He ranked fifth among the disciples!

"Senior Brother, I’d like to ask for some Fourth-grade or even Fifth-grade Talisman Paper, the more the better." Xu Wendong pondered for a moment and said seriously.

In his heart, First, Second, and Third-grade talisman papers simply couldn’t meet his needs; he dismissed them outright.

Upon hearing this, before Zhou Ran could respond, laughter burst out from the crowd of disciples around.

Liu Hao laughed so hard he bent over, his face full of mocking ridicule.

"Did you all hear him? Fourth and Fifth-grade Talisman Papers, hahaha, he really dares to ask!"

Liu Hao wore a disdainful expression: "The Path of Nether Talisman itself requires a step-by-step, grounded ascent, yet this guy gets the Painting Saint Carving Knife and thinks he can leap to the top."

"Utterly daydreaming!"
