Chapter 36: Hoofprints
While Mo Shulin was thinking on how to sell the rest of the items, Bai Yuming has already thought on how to find Mo Shulin a partner.
Four hundred and eighty high-grade spirit stones are expensive for disciples.
Although Shi Haicheng is a direct disciple, but good items or artifacts will be given to the master first and the possibility of gaining such thing is not high.
Now he decided to find his master to borrow some spirit stones since it’s quite rare to encounter this good item, then he could pay it off when he return home for the New Years.
After thinking about it, Shi Haicheng bowed, “Junior Brother, can you reserve this talismans for me? I need to pick up some spirit stones and I’ll be back within a half an hour.”
“Of course, Senior Brother, you can be rest assured.” Mo Shulin said, setting aside a stack of heart-cleansing talismans.
Shi Haicheng was pleased, seeing Mo Shulin’s neat and orderly response, he immediately turned around to borrow some spirit stones.
Gong Shuo also wanted to buy the heart-cleansing talismans, but he’s not Shi Haicheng, who has family background and was doted by his master. To him, four hundred and eighty spirit stones are way too excessive.
Heart-cleansing talismans are usually made by disciples to practice their skills, so most of the heart-cleansing talismans are sold in a low price, but he never encountered the one who’s comparable to the Fit period. Gong Shuo always buys and sells all year round, naturally he knew these items can only be seen, not bought.
That’s why Mo Shulin let Bai Yuming to write heart-cleansing talismans when he found out about the bazaar.
Everything now is the result of Mo Shulin’s plan.
Gong Shuo asked Bai Yuming with no embarrassment: “I have some unsold items with similar value. I wonder if the elder would like to take a look?”
Gong Shuo wanted to barter.
As a small vendor, he occasionally find some good things. But the reason he can’t sell these items was because no one recognize it, if he wanted to sell these items in a good price, he needs to find a master.
Bai Yuming has no pursuit of haining foreign objects. Now that he has the money to pay for the house, he decided to be a Buddhist. He gave Mo Shulin a casual look and continued to read his “Sword Qi Theory”.
Mo Shulin understood that Bai Yuming had no interest, but he didn’t think they were lacking any money.
Buying and reselling items depends on how people view it. Certain items cannot be sold at a price when it was being sold individually, but they can be sold at expensive prices with a little modification.
It’s like the mechanical rats that was modified by Bai Yuming. It was originally a popular product that no one looked at in Liangji sect, but when Bai Yuming’s spiritual energy was transfered inside, it got sold out.
This is a special business opportunity.
Mo Shulin pretended that he had obtained Bai Yuming’s permission, returned with courtesy, “It’s also good this way, please let me take a look.”
Gong Shuo glanced at the elder’s eyes and thought that he had no chance getting those heart-cleansing talismans, not expecting this little brother in front of him to be a good talker. Even if the elder wasn’t interested, at least this Junior Brother still gave him a bit of face to barter for the talismans.
Gong Shuo knew there’s a chance that he can’t trade his items for the talismans, but he had been buying and selling items for a few years, and he believed that he has good vision. Also there’s another elder beside him, meaning there’s also an opportunity that elder would be interested with his items.
“Junior Brother is polite, then I’ll set it down on this table.” Gong Shuo walked towards the stone table on Bai Yuming’s side and took out the items he had bought in the recent years.
Gong Shuo’s cultivation base is low, and he usually doesn’t dare to release these items of high value easily. When someone buys a similar item, or someone is searching for it, he’ll take these items to the sect.
It was really tyrannical to trade these valuable items for heart-cleansing talismans.
Fu Yongxin felt a little sullen when he saw Mo Shulin was busy doing business with Gong Shuo and left him aside. According to his understanding, after selling those mechanical rats, Gong Shuo was supposed to leave. But there was another elder with a profound cultivation level, and Fu Yongxin had to be patient even if he was unhappy.
It’s just that he didn’t expect Gong Shuo really took out some good things.
Fu Yongxin’s family has produced spell talismans for generations, his uncles and brothers have earned a lot of spiritual stones by selling talismans.
But in the eyes for amateurs, it was only a symbol written on a piece of paper using some brush and ink.
In fact, drawing these symbols are extremely strenuous. And different spells would require a different set type of brush, ink and papers.
Many simple and effective spell talismans are out of stock because of the insufficient materials.
But this is their Fu family secret, so naturally they won’t openly talk about what materials they lack and give merchants the opportunity to sit down and raise the price.
Fu Yongxin saw two materials with fairly good quality from Gong Shuo, but these things were intended to be traded with Bai Yuming. Fu Yongxin frantically rubbed his palms with his right hand, without uttering a word. He only hoped Bai Yuming would ignore these things, so that he could have an opportunity to buy them later.
Mo Shulin also felt that the things Gong Shuo took out weren’t too shabby, several of them even exceeded the value of 500 high-grade spirit stones.
The items Gong Shuo took out were dull to them because what Bai Yuming lacks right now are building materials and spirit stones.
But Gong Shuo said these items weren’t easy to sell, and Mo Shulin didn’t dare to trade these items and resell it because it’s also the same of hitting his own hands.
Just when Mo Shulin wanted to refuse, Bai Yuming suddenly asked, “What is that script?”
Mo Shulin saw the strange-looking script on the stone table and knew that Bai Yuming thought it was those type of scriptures.
Gong Shuo’s eyes suddenly lit up. He thought Bai Yuming recognize some valuable materials or artifacts, but he also doesn’t want Bai Yuming to pick a script that he can’t sell since the previous generation and was later placed in the bottom of the box.
Gong Shuo hurriedly hand out the script to Mo Shulin with both hands, who then forward it to Bai Yuming.
Bai Yuming felt a burst of spiritual energy when he opened the script, which was a very novel experience.
There’s no text in this script, only filled with black imprints. These black imprints are similar to cherry blossom petals, but because of the imprints that were too large, a piece of paper can barely incorporate a black imprint.
The petals were densely packed on the top and the bottom with a simple and profound strokes, it seems that these petals were drawn by hand. Bai Yuming didn’t understand what the creator of this script wanted to express.
But the incessant spiritual energy showed Bai Yuming this was indeed a spiritual item, though it doesn’t considered as an artifact.
When Mo Shulin saw those imprints, he knew what it was. He wanted Bai Yuming to throw it away and don’t waste any money on this kind of garbage.
Gong Shuo rushed to explain before Mo Shulin does: “This script is from the contemporary White Horse Demon King’s hoof imprint. Although there’s nothing special about it, but I heard the White Horse Demon King cherishes his calligraphy very much.”
The meaning behind those word was that this book is useless, but if one day you provoke the White Horse Demon Race, you might be able to use this calligraphy to save your face.
Mo Shulin had a relationship with the White Horse Demon King in his previous life, he also knew about this White Horse Demon hoof imprint calligraphy. This thing was originally made by the White Horse Demon King to make money. If someone used this thing to seek the White Horse Demon King, the White Horse Demon King would turn his face faster than anyone else.
All three people at the scene knew that this book was useless, but the demon Bai Yuming looked at it with gusto, turning it over and over again.
“Good stuff.” Bai Yuming frowned and flipped a few pages, he couldn’t help but sigh, “This White Horse Demon King’s calligraphy is really wonderful.”
Fu Yongxin: “…”
Gong Shuo: “…”
Mo Shulin: “…”
Don’t bully him for studying less, but this calligraphy, is clearly White Horse Demon King’s hoofprints.
Although Gong Shuo didn’t know what Bai Yuming saw, but he couldn’t afford to miss this good trade. “The elder really know the goods. This script contains White Horse Demon King’s four hoof imprints, each of them were filled with different scent of spiritual energy.”
Mo Shulin: “…”
More like different scent of foot odors.
Bai Yuming wasn’t stupid to sniff the script, but simply closed it and placed it inside his storage bag, “I’ll take this thing. Shulin, give him a stack of those talismans and add something more.”
“Okay, Master.” Mo Shulin bowed and agreed.
But what is the use of this hoofprints?
He clearly recalled that these thing was useless.
Mo Shulin remembered that Bai Yuming belonged to the same demon clan, and that Bai Yuming, the rabbit demon, might really understand the significance of this White Horse Demon King’s hoofprints.

Bai Yuming being Buddhist, it means that Bai Yuming isn’t interested in material items, since Buddhism teaches that monks, the members of the Sangha, live a simple life where they have the necessities to be comfortable and no more. For more information, you can check it here.
