"Here's my card," Zhang Xue Hou said, giving me a jade emblem. When I stared at hm, he coughed and cleared his throat. "Sorry, I mean here's my emblem. Show this to any branch of the Alchemists' Association and they will let you in. They will treat you like a VIP."
"Uh, cool? But I don't need that…" I frowned. "Rather, you need me to make spirit talismans for you guys, right?"
"Right." Zhang Xue Hou nodded. He grinned. "I like people like you who are to the point, it allows us to get down to business quickly. As you correctly pointed out, we cama here to recruit…ahem, befriend you because we are in need of spirit talismans."
I pushed my glasses up my nose as I studied him. "But why me, of all people? I'm not the only one who makes spirit talismans, after all. I'm sure there are other masters who are much better than me at making them."
