Lingxiao Immortal Clan.

Chapter 160 Zhu Wen’s Experience (5000 words, two chapters in one, please subscribe)

In mid-October, there was an inn named "Jiujiang" in Yunshuifang City.

This inn was originally a shop that sold spiritual objects. However, due to the small flow of people in Yunshuifang City, the owner gradually could not earn many spiritual stones by opening this shop, so he was too lazy to spend time on running the shop. Instead, he This shop was converted into rooms, which were rented cleanly to casual cultivators with no roots in the world of immortality.

Although the owner of the Changjiu Inn is relatively shady, and each quiet room that can be rented is only two or three feet in size, the price of this inn is not high. You can rent a quiet room for only 12 yuan of spiritual stones. It lasts for a year, and each quiet room also comes with a first-level low-level spiritual formation that can isolate others from the exploration of spiritual consciousness.

This kind of price and the accompanying small spiritual isolation formation are extremely attractive to casual cultivators with limited financial resources.

This also means that the Jiujiu Inn has never had a vacancy since it opened.

After all, Jiujiu Inn is located in Yunshuifang City. Living in this inn, there is no need to worry about life safety and you can sleep peacefully and peacefully.

A year ago, Zhu Wen, who worked with two comrades to intercept and kill Ling Pengyun at the border of Huxiao Liu's family and narrowly escaped, lived in this long-term inn.

At this time, in a quiet room.

Zhu Wen was using the secret magic talisman "talisman making technique" on a five-foot-long demon beast skin with the hair removed, and refining the huge demon beast skin into blank talisman papers.

Basically, all skills can be adapted. Although most of the talisman papers on the market are made from talisman grass, monster skins can also be made into blank talisman papers necessary for drawing spiritual talismans.

Because before, Zhu Wen had used more than twenty pieces of monster skin to refine blank talisman paper, and now he was quite comfortable with it.

After a while, he relied on secret techniques to condense the five-foot-long and wide demon beast skin into twenty blank talisman papers the size of a palm.

Although everything went well with the production of blank talisman paper from monster animal skin, Zhu Wen was not happy.

"If I rely on these last twenty blank talisman papers, it will still be difficult for me to increase the success rate of drawing the fireball talisman to [-]%, but it will be over."

Zhu Wen's current success rate in drawing the fireball talisman is only [-]%. With a [-]% success rate in drawing the fireball talisman, he is still at a small loss. Only with a [-]% success rate in drawing the fireball talisman can he maintain his capital and make a little profit.

After he failed to intercept Ling Pengyun last year and made up his mind not to do interception for a living, he invested all his spiritual stones in drawing spiritual talismans.

It's a pity that although he has talent for spiritual talismans, he doesn't have much talent.

Hundreds of spirit stones were wasted, only allowing him to increase the success rate of drawing the fireball talisman to [-]%.

The spirit stones were exhausted, but the spirit talismans did not achieve much. Zhu Wenwen fell into a desperate situation and had to survive by hunting monsters like ordinary cultivators. Unexpectedly, not long after, the demon-killing battle launched by Bailingmen gave him a A chance for a comeback.

In May last year, Zhu Wen, who was a casual cultivator, like most casual cultivators in the Bailingmen realm, was summoned by the Bailingmen to fight against demons. Together they attacked the Demonic Python Mountain in the realm of Jiaopython Lake, where the Foundation-Building Perfection Demonic Python was stationed.

That day, he also saw the scene of the spiritual formation killing the ice dragon with his formation in the Demonic Python Mountain.

It was also relying on the real spirit formation to kill the ice dragon in the python lake, and together with the two golden elixir monsters of the real spirit talisman, the water dragon and the black wind demon wolf, that Zhu Wen, a little man who was only in the middle stage of Qi training, could Not only were the casual cultivators not trampled by the monsters in the battle to destroy the monsters.

Instead, with the help of the demon-killing battle, he killed more than twenty demonic beasts in the early stages of Qi training.

Zhu Wen did not turn over these monsters he killed to the Bailingmen in exchange for contribution points. Instead, he used dry killing to make a living. When he made a living, he packed the many storage bags he obtained. The flesh and blood were used for eating, and the monster skins were used. Come to refine blank talisman paper and use it to draw talismans to increase the success rate of drawing fireball talismans.

It is more cost-effective to use monster skins to refine blank talisman paper yourself than to buy blank talisman paper directly.

Of course, the secret technique of refining blank talisman paper is also difficult to understand. Zhu Wen also spent a lot of time and effort during his more than ten years as an evil cultivator before he successfully understood it.

With his thoughts coming back, Zhu Wen sighed helplessly. After calming down, he closed his eyes and used his skills to absorb the thin spiritual energy in Fangshi and fill it into his Dantian.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhu Wen opened his eyes and summoned the three spiritual objects necessary for refining the talisman from the storage bag, a talisman pen, a small butterfly talisman ink, and ten blank talisman papers.

The talisman pen and talisman ink are placed together on the right corner of the table, and the blank talisman paper is placed on the left corner of the table. Take out one and place it in the center on the small table.

He reached out and held the talisman pen tightly in his right hand, mobilized his spiritual power and injected it into the talisman pen.

On the talisman pen, spiritual patterns suddenly flashed.

Seeing this, Zhu Wen didn't delay. He lightly dipped his talisman pen into the talisman ink and wrote on the blank talisman paper, tracing a line of stripes in detail.

Within half a stick of incense, a series of spiritual patterns and a small fireball pattern were painted on the blank talisman paper.

When the last stroke falls, lift it up.

The spiritual patterns on the blank spiritual talisman merged into one, and a fiery red spiritual light flashed at the same time.

"It's done."

When Zhu Wen saw this, his expression was overjoyed, and he was even more clean. He placed the drawn talisman on the left corner of the table, and then took out a blank talisman paper and began to draw it.

Zhu Wen drew ten pictures in this manner in a row until the spiritual energy in his Dantian was exhausted, and Zhu Wen stopped.

He looked at the three successfully drawn fireball talismans placed in the left corner of the small table, and a touch of joy rose on his pale face caused by excessive spiritual energy consumption.

"Finally, the success rate of drawing the fireball talisman has been increased to [-]%. I can also rely on this talisman to earn spiritual stones in the future."

With a happy sigh, Zhu Wen put the four fireball charms into his storage bag.

Close your eyes again and use the exercises to absorb the free spiritual energy in Fangshi and fill the dry Dantian.

He didn't open his eyes until his Dantian spiritual power recovered.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he took out the last ten blank talisman papers on his body and drew the talismans.

From these ten blank talisman papers, three fireball talismans were still successfully drawn.

Zhu Wen called out the three fireball talismans he had drawn previously. A total of six fireball talismans were placed in front of him. His face was full of joy, and he thought carefully about the whereabouts of these six talismans.

It is impossible to stay. If nothing happens, he will not leave Yunshuifang City for the rest of his life. Instead, he will spend his remaining years in Yunshuifang City. It is useless to ask for magic talismans.

It is also like selling, earning spiritual stones, and then buying talisman paper to draw spiritual talismans. If things go on like this, all the spiritual stones previously invested in this spiritual talisman will be earned back, and then used to invest in oneself to draw other spiritual talismans.

But who to sell this talisman to is giving Zhu Wen a headache.

"My acquaintance Zhang Daoyou, who lives in this Jiujiu Inn and hunts monsters for a living, is only in the middle stage of Qi training. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat these six fireball talismans in my hand."

"Not to mention the other fireball talismans I drew in the future."

"If you go to the market to set up a stall and sell one or two pieces to other casual cultivators, it's okay. But if the quantity is large, you may not be able to sell it for a day or two. If you don't lower the price, you may not be able to sell it. Instead of doing this, It is better to cooperate with those shops in Xunfang City, so that you can get the spirit stones faster and be more secure."

After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Wen took out a small classic from his storage bag and read it carefully.

This book records the conditions of various shops in Yunshuifang City and the forces behind them.

After looking at the conditions of various stores in Yunshuifang City, Zhu Wen finally fell in love with several stores in Yunshuifang City that were barely doing business, neither good nor bad, and all of which were opened by the Jiji family and had strong financial resources.

The reason why he chose these shops was very simple. After all, the fireball talisman he refined was only a first-level low-grade spiritual talisman.

Most of the shops with good business will look down on the fireball talisman he drew. Even if they can accept it, the price they give will probably not be high.

Zhu Wen wrote down the locations of the shops he was interested in, then put away the six fireball charms he had just drawn, closed his eyes, and used his skills to absorb free spiritual energy from the city to fill his dry Dantian.

After his Dantian was filled with spiritual power, he left the Changjiang Inn and went to the shops he had chosen, and discussed cooperation with the store managers.

A casual cultivator like Zhu Wen who could draw spiritual talismans was naturally welcomed by the store managers.Spirit talismans, like elixirs, are consumable spiritual objects. Even the low-grade fireball talisman of the first level is relatively popular among casual cultivators in the less crowded Yunshuifang City.

However, welcome is welcome, these shops are only willing to purchase the fireball talismans drawn by Zhu Wen at the low price of 15 yuan spiritual stone and ten fireball talismans. This price can be said to be the unified price for stores to purchase fireball talismans from outside.

On the market, although one fireball talisman usually costs two spiritual stones, ten fireball talismans should cost 20 spiritual stones.

However, it takes time and effort for the store to acquire these talismans and sell them, so the store naturally has to make a little profit.

However, Zhu Wen was not particularly satisfied with the price, so he used excuses to temporarily avoid cooperating with these stores.

In order to find a store where he could buy the fireball talisman at a higher price, Zhu Wen didn't think too much and went straight along the avenue shamelessly, entering various shops in the city to sell the fireball talisman he drew.

Although many store managers were interested in the cooperation proposed by Zhu Wen, the price offered by those stores was still only the purchase price of 15 yuan of spiritual stones for ten fireball charms.

Finally, Zhu Wen walked to the door of Lingxiao Grocery Store.

After explaining his intention to Ling Xiaohua, the manager of Lingxiao Grocery Store, Ling Xiaohua was quite interested.

"Although this person can only refine the fireball talisman, the power of the fireball talisman is not bad, and many casual cultivators will buy it."

"In the future, my store will be offering discounts such as buying jade series of spiritual rice, or giving away fireball charms when buying magic weapons, or giving away spiritual rice when buying a large amount of fireball charms, etc. Maybe it can make the business of the grocery store better. A store that has risen to the first echelon in Yunshuifang City."

"Even if you can't sell these spiritual talismans, transporting them back to the clan is a good choice."

Thinking about it like this, Ling Xiaohua was even more excited.

When the grocery store's business is good and more spiritual items are sold, he will receive more dividends.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, how much do you plan to charge?" Ling Xiaohua asked.

Zhu Wen just came to the store and introduced himself.

Zhu Wen heard the inquiry and tried to speak. "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ling can accept the purchase price of ten fireball talismans and 18 yuan of spiritual stones?"

"The price is too high. Let alone selling it. Even if you go to any store that sells spiritual talismans and buy ten fireball talismans at the same time, you will probably be able to buy ten fireball talismans at the price of 19 yuan of spiritual stones. This will come and go. , it consumes a lot of time, I only earned one spirit stone from selling ten fireball talismans, which is a bit too little." Ling Xiaohua hesitated for a while, nodded in response.

"If Fellow Daoist Zhu is really willing to cooperate with the store, everyone should take a step back. In the future, I will buy ten fireball talismans and 17 yuan of spirit stones from you. Do you think this is okay?"

When Zhu Wen heard this, his heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he couldn't help but raise a smile on his face.

He had just asked for a high price, and he had already guessed that Ling Xiaohua would lower the price, but he did not expect that Ling Xiaohua did not lower the price, but gave him some profits.

Zhu Wen's bottom line was 16 Yuan Lingshi and ten Fireball Talismans, and he agreed as long as this price was met.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, my favorable conditions are not without requirements. After all, the Fireball Talisman is only a first-order low-grade spiritual talisman. And as you just said, you can only draw this kind of spiritual talisman. There are only so many monks in Yunshuifang City. Even if the fireball talisman is a consumable, other shops in the city will sell this talisman, and the market for this talisman is basically saturated."

"In the future, I will only purchase [-] fireball talismans from you. Once this number is reached, if fellow Taoists are unable to refine higher-level talismans, our cooperation will also be terminated. I wonder if you can agree to these conditions?"

"No problem." Zhu Wen naturally had no reason not to agree and nodded quickly.

After chatting with Ling Xiaohua for a while, he took out the six fireball talismans he had refined earlier and sold them to Ling Xiaohua at a discounted price of nine spiritual stones.

After obtaining the spirit stone, Zhu Wen naturally planned to invest in the method of making talismans.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, I wonder if your store can sell the furs of fire-type monsters in the early stage of Qi training?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiaohua raised his eyebrows slightly and guessed secretly. "This person is a talisman maker, and he only masters the fireball talisman. The fire-type monster skin he purchased this time is probably used to make blank fire-type talisman paper with a relatively strong fire aura."

After thinking about it like this, Ling Xiaohua's expression showed a flash of memory. After a moment, his expression changed and he asked.

"My small shop is named after groceries, so naturally it sells the skins of fire-type monsters. Fellow Daoist Zhu has mastered the talisman-making technique of drawing monster skins into talismans."

There are many types of spiritual beings in Lingxiao Grocery Store. Although they mainly sell jade series spiritual rice, a large number of green spiritual swords and round iron shields refined by Ling Pengyun, they also sell some low-level spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs, and demons. Animal materials, spiritual plant seeds and other miscellaneous spiritual things.

Ling Xiaohua will even purchase some spiritual objects that the family needs from outside.

"Exactly." Zhu Wen did not hide it and nodded.

"That's great, Fellow Daoist Zhu. How about we discuss the business of drawing blank talisman paper?" Ling Xiaohua looked happy and asked.

Whether it is made from demonized animal skins or talisman-making grass into talisman paper, you need to master the "talisman-making technique", but not every talisman-making technique can be understood. Among the Talisman Masters, only the first-level high-grade spiritual Talisman Master, Third Elder Ling Yunfeng, and the first-level mid-level spiritual Talisman Master Ling Yunming have mastered this talisman-making technique.

As for the only first-level low-level talisman maker, he is a junior of the Peng generation and has not yet understood the art of talisman making. In addition, the Ling family has to invest a sum of blank talisman paper in young clan members every year. , to find out whether they have the talent to draw spiritual talismans.

This means that Ling Yunfeng and Ling Yunming have to spare a lot of time every year to draw spiritual talismans and draw a batch of low-level blank talisman papers, which greatly affects the speed of the two of them in drawing spiritual talismans.

Furthermore, Ling Xiaohua had some talent for making talismans when he was young, but not much. His family also trained him to make talismans, but unfortunately he did not seize the opportunity.

In his early years, due to his ordinary birth and poor cultivation aptitude, he started working early. Not long after, he met Yang Qiuyun and gave birth to Ling Pengyun.

After Ling Pengyun was born, he also began to save spiritual stones for his only son, Ling Pengyun, to practice. He had never touched the talisman.

Nowadays, Ling Pengyun is one of the best in all kinds of arts, and it is very easy to earn spiritual stones.

In addition, Ling Xiaohua also wanted to buy some blank talisman paper from Zhu Wen at a low price and try to make talismans again after meeting Zhu Wen, a rare talisman maker.

If he can become a Talisman Maker, he can stand tall in front of his father-in-law "Yang Minghua".

"How do fellow Daoist Ling want to talk about the business of drawing blank talismans?" Zhu Wen was very interested when he heard this. He really liked the idea of ​​earning spiritual stones.

Ling Xiaohua smiled slyly and said. "I will give you the monster skin, and you can refine it into blank talisman paper. We just traded the fireball talisman, and I made a lot of concessions. This time, you will also let me refine a hundred pieces for me." With the blank talisman paper, you can earn five spiritual stone crafting fees, do you think that’s okay?”

Under normal circumstances, a Talisman Maker would use the Talisman Maker to refine a hundred blank Talisman Papers from demonic animal skins, and the price difference from the market price would be about ten spiritual stones.

Zhu Wen hesitated for a moment, and considering that Ling Xiaohua had indeed made a lot of profit in the fireball talisman transaction, he nodded in response.

"can."

Later, Zhu Wen used nine spiritual stones to buy three fire-type monster skins about a foot long and wide.

The amount of blank talisman paper produced from demon beast skins of this size will be smaller, and relatively large demon beast skins are also expensive.

As for Ling Xiaohua, he gave Zhu Wen five earth monster skins to entrust Zhu Wen to draw blank talisman papers.

After Zhu Wen took over the monster skins, he left the place where he lived and used a valuable first-order middle-grade flying sword as collateral to reassure Ling Xiaohua and show that he would not take the five-foot monster with him. The animal skins fled with the money.

After trading the monster skins, the two exchanged polite words, and Zhu Wen left the shop.

But when Zhu Wen left the store and returned to the Changjiu Inn, he felt a little uneasy when he thought about the family behind Lingxiao Grocery Store.

"According to the store information in Benfang City, Lingxiao Grocery Store is opened by the Lingxiao Ling family of Huaishui County."

"The young late-stage qi-training monk that my eldest brother, second brother, and I intercepted at the beginning was most likely from the five major foundation-building families in Huaishui County."

"The probability of one out of five should not be that coincidental."
