"Master! I've already called you Master! Why won't you show them to me?" Trendy Taoist Master smiled fawningly at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao rolled his eyes again. 'Your skin is too thick!'

"Here, take this. You can split it evenly with Taoist Master Xuan Ling," Tang Hao gave him the bag.

The bag contained fifty jade talismans. He had prepared it for Taoist Master Xuan Ling. Over the past few days, he had crafted jade talismans every night.

The Taoist master took the bag and opened it to see. "Wow!" He exclaimed. His eyes were bulging.

"Heavens! They're really jade talismans! There's so many of them!" Trendy Taoist Master's voice was trembling. His eyes were shining, like a miser stumbling upon a treasure trove of gold and gemstones.

"These are Flame Talismans… Heavens! There are Lightning Talismans too!" Trendy Taoist Master exclaimed. He was more shaken than ever.

"These are all mine!" his eyes sparkled, then stuffed the bag into his sack.
