"Em, little brother, are you sure you want this piece of talisman?"

The thin storekeeper was stunned and even stuttered when he spoke.

What the hell?

He just made a vow and people are already coming to buy it, does God really like to joke with him?!

"1500 silver taels, top grade elementary true essence talismans, this is the corner counter!" Ning Bang slapped his thigh. He clenched his teeth, took out one thousand and five hundred taels of silver, and threw it to the thin storekeeper.

Ning Bang had originally planned to come back to buy some the next month when he had some spare money and had some spare, but yesterday, Division Chief Hammer had led a bunch of new hammer department disciples with a piece of news: the Crimson Nimbus Martial University's first Thousand-military Arena Score Ranking Competition would be held at the end of the month.

There was no helping it, Ning Bang licked his face as he collected 1500 taels of silver from his lackey. After gathering the money, he didn't hesitate and immediately went to the Charm Magician's Association's exchange to see if there were any top-grade elementary true essence talismans that Xu Shizhen had bought.

Division Chief Hammer had said that in this new student's 1000 army points ranking competition, whoever could obtain the number one result among the new students would be rewarded with 30 true essence stones!

30 true essence stones was 6,000 silver taels!

Although to a rich young master like him, 6000 taels of silver was not a large amount, but true essence stones were a rare and rare object. The cultivation effect was much better than the Soul Gathering Pellet and the 'Essence Gathering Symbol', sometimes even if he had money he might not be able to buy one.

Ning Bang knew that the hammer elder was speaking to him, because he was the third place in the Crimson Nimbus Martial Arts School's entrance exam. If Xu Shizhen's paper talisman had not been added much higher than his, the second place would have been his, Ning Bang.

In terms of true strength, the Peace Prefecture was much stronger than Xu Shizhen.

Therefore, Ling Yan was the only opponent of Peace Faction in this ranking competition.

Thinking of Ling Yan, the corner of Ning Bang's mouth curled up into a cold smile. This idiot, this tyrannical blade expert old man had given such good conditions, yet he still refused to go. In the end, he went to the worst of the eight subjects.

What kind of decent technique could a practitioner take out? Would its grade be better than a hammer? Could the movement technique and rank of a martial art be compared with a hammer? Were the training resources as generous as the Division Chief Hammer?

Ning Bang sneered. Yesterday, in order to encourage the Division Chief to obtain the first place, he had secretly given him 20 true essence stones. Just how many would he, Ling Yan, receive?

It had to be known that even if he was an elite disciple of the Hammer Department, he would only get 40 true essence stones every month.

He had even learned a low-grade Profound Rank cultivation method, a top grade human-step martial skill, and a high-grade human-step movement technique. What good stuff could Ling Yan learn?

Ling Yan's current strength was indeed much higher than that of the Peace Faction. However, the Peace Faction believed that in the last twenty-something days, with his outstanding cultivation techniques, martial skills, movement techniques, and even more cultivation resources, he would definitely have the opportunity to eliminate Ling Yan and obtain the result of the number one student in the Thousand Military Array!

As for Xu Shizhen, hmph, with this top-grade elementary true essence talisman, he still wants to show off in front of me?!

As Ning Bang thought of Ling Yan and Xu Shizhen being able to step on him at the end of the month, his mood immediately became extremely comfortable. He grabbed the top-grade elementary true essence talisman from the thin storekeeper, smiled wantonly, and then leisurely left.

Not long after Ning Bang left, before the thin storekeeper could react from his speechlessness, he saw a familiar figure. It was a young master from a wealthy family, dressed in brocade clothes and with a fair complexion.

F * ck, why did such a stupid person come again? Could it be … The thin manager's heart skipped a beat.

"Haha, there really is one. My luck is really good. Shopkeeper, pack that piece of talisman paper for me!" Xu Shizhen laughed and pointed at the white paper talisman in the corner of the sales counter.

Xu Shizhen took the top quality elementary true essence talisman from the suspicious looking shopkeeper and walked out of the Symbol Master Guild's exchange with a wide smile on his face.

Ranking competition for the new 1000 military points, hehe.
