บท 168: Chapter 165 Impending Storm

Initially, Jiang Cheng was just an obscure second-tier Talisman Master.

Let alone in the Capital, even in his hometown Wuyue City, he could basically be considered invisible in the world of Talisman Masters.

He had no fame and no network; when he went out, nobody recognized him.

Latterly, with the popularity of the Fishing Talisman, he outsourced the production of the talisman, relying almost entirely on the connections of Yue Linger to find people for the work.

Even Yue Linger herself wasn't someone Jiang Cheng knew personally; their meeting was mediated through an introduction by the Talisman Master Association.

Compared to the unknown Jiang Cheng, Shen Mi in the Capital was a well-known, well-regarded personage.

Shen Mi had struggled and fought in the Capital for over two hundred years. Although he was a Pill Master and mixed in the elixir industry, his network within the Capital's Talisman industry far surpassed that of Jiang Cheng.
