Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 71 Sales Agency
When Li Zhen left, he paid with most of the spirit stones he had, as well as a pound of first-grade medium-quality spirit tea, five jars of medium-quality spirit wine, and a bunch of medium-quality talismans.

In addition to harvesting the first-grade, high-quality spiritual tea trees in the spiritual plant bag, he also received a variety of spiritual seeds.

He did not know the actual value of a first-grade, high-quality spiritual tea tree. In addition, he was not good at business, so he could not estimate whether this business would be profitable or not.

But he was clear about one thing, that is, the value of the spiritual plant bag plus the first-grade high-quality spiritual tea tree in the fairyland was far higher than what he paid.

Most importantly, even if he had these spiritual objects in the fairyland, he could not exchange them for a first-grade, high-quality spiritual tea tree.

As for the seemingly inconspicuous spirit plant bag, it is probably more precious than a first-grade top-quality spirit tea tree in the fairyland. At least Li Zhen has never heard of a spirit plant bag in the fairyland.

In the following time, he replanted the spiritual field and performed the "Spirit Containing Technique" and "Small Cloud and Rain Technique".

After returning to the wooden house, he continued to practice for a while. Until now, he had not noticed any monks staring at him, so he thought that this transaction did not bring any trouble.

This kind of secret dirty trade is common in the market.

The main reason why Li Zhen dared to make the deal was that the original manager of the market had failed. Even if he gained benefits from it, it would not be a big problem.

But it would be best to have less trouble, so with this thought in mind, he teleported back to his bedroom in the fairyland.

The next day, he returned to the market place at night in the fairyland. He came out of the wooden house and immediately went to the spiritual field to check.

The situation in the spiritual field was fine. He used the 'Golden Edge Technique' to clear out a spiritual insect and then performed the 'Small Cloud and Rain Technique'.

When he was carrying the hoe back, he met the old monk Qian who was also returning from the spiritual field.

"My dear Li, don't leave the market town recently!" Old Monk Qian reminded softly.

"Something happened again?" Li Zhen asked hurriedly.

He knew very little about the affairs of the market town, mainly because he had no way to obtain information.

Old Monk Qian is a local boss in the market town, so he naturally has a lot of information.

"Within one day, none of the monks from the Lin family who left the market town came back. Everyone is speculating that this is a revenge by the Iron Sword Gang and the Zhao family against the Lin family outside the market town!" Old Monk Qian answered when he saw that there was no one around.

"What's the reaction in the market?" Li Zhen asked again.

The market city is not run by only the Lin family, there is also the Golden Sword Gang and several small alliances that jointly manage it.

"Who knows? Anyway, we haven't seen any movement from the Golden Sword Gang. It seems that they want the Lin family to deal with it alone!" Old Monk Qian replied with a gloating look on his face.

No one looks down on traitors, even a family like the Lin family, who betrayed other managers of the market for some unknown benefit, bringing them a very bad reputation.

Perhaps there are details that outsiders don’t know, but who would know about those things? Outsiders only know that Lin attacked his allies.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for telling me. I will not leave the market either!" Li Zhen thanked him. He thought for a moment, took out two talismans and handed them over, saying, "Mr. Qian, these are the talismans I drew for practice. Please accept them as your skills are limited!"

Old Monk Qian took the two talismans unexpectedly and examined them carefully.

One of the two talismans is the 'Vajra Talisman' and the other is the 'Light Body Talisman', both are of first-grade inferior quality.

"Friend Li, you have such a talent for talisman making. It seems that you should have become a first-grade lower-level talisman maker. Congratulations!" Old Monk Qian did not refuse Li Zhen's gift, he said with emotion.

Li Zhen did not hide anything when he purchased the talisman pens, talisman paper, and talisman-making books. Old Monk Qian had heard about this.

But Old Monk Qian did not expect that Li Zhen had such a talent in making talismans that he could produce a finished product in such a short time.

"I have only mastered three low-grade talismans. I still have a long way to go!" Li Zhen said modestly.

"You have a talent in making talismans, so don't waste it. Perhaps with this talent, you can go further!" The tone of old monk Qian was full of envy.

Making talismans seems simple and the cost is very low, but there are still too few monks who can really succeed.

To make talismans, one must first have the corresponding classics, as well as talisman pens, talisman paper, and talisman ink. One must also master the corresponding talisman spells and reach a certain level.

After all these are achieved, making talismans still depends on talent. If a cultivator without talent wants to make a finished talisman, the resources needed will be very large, so much that the cultivator cannot afford it. Low-level cultivators do not have any extra resources. The resources left for learning to make talismans are all saved by the cultivators from their practice, in order to obtain long-term benefits.

Generally, low-level monks have to think twice before trying to learn how to make talismans. Most of them will retreat after too many failures, and not many can actually persevere.

Old Monk Qian had tried it in the past, but unfortunately he had no talent for making talismans. After wasting a considerable amount of resources, he spent the next few years working as a spirit plant husband to repay his debts.

"Mr. Qian, you have a wide network of contacts. Can you help sell the talismans I made? I will give you one talisman for every ten you sell!" Li Zhen suggested after thinking for a while.

This idea of ​​his was not something he came up with casually, but was the result of careful consideration.

He didn't have time to sell talismans. Although there were shops that bought talismans, he had visited them and found that those shops would keep the prices too low, leaving almost no profit for the talisman maker.

In addition, when the store has stocked up to a certain level, it will no longer accept talismans. This is why Li Zhen does not want to sell talismans to the store.

Most importantly, he did not want to expose his talent in talisman making to avoid being targeted by the market managers.

After the previous battle for the market town, he had seen the true side of the market town. Although the managers of the market town abided by the rules, they could break the rules at any time as long as the benefits were sufficient.

"Do you trust me so much?" Old Monk Qian was stunned. He looked at Li Zhen and asked.

"These are forty-four talismans, the first batch of talismans!" Li Zhen demonstrated his trust in Master Qian with practical actions.

To be honest, even if Master Qian cheated him, his loss would not be great.

His success rate in making talismans is very high. In addition, the talisman ink and paper are both produced in the fairyland, so the cost can be said to be extremely low compared to the market.

"Your talismans are of excellent quality. The situation has been unstable recently, so these talismans can be sold out quickly!" Old Monk Qian took the forty-four talismans and said as he checked them.

While helping Li Zhen, he can also earn some income for himself.

Li Zhen might not think highly of the income of selling ten talismans for one, but it was a considerable income for him.

Almost all of Old Monk Qian's income came from spiritual plants. What happened in the market before had caused heavy losses to his spiritual fields, and he needed more income to make up for it.

Li Zhen said goodbye to the old monk Qian and came to the Lingtian Management Office.

The Lingtian Management Office is still headed by a manager. He found that the manager has been replaced and is no longer the original manager Zhao.

Considering that Manager Zhao is a cultivator from the Zhao family and the Zhao family was driven out of the market town, it is not surprising that the manager here was replaced.

"Is there something wrong?" the steward looked up and asked.

"I want to ask about the spiritual field!" Li Zhen placed two spiritual stones in front of the manager and said.

The steward waved his hand, and the two spirit stones disappeared. A smile appeared on his previously expressionless face, and he stood up from his seat.

"My surname is Xu, and I'm the new manager of the spiritual fields in the market town. We have some extra spiritual fields in the market town. If you have any requirements, please let me know and I'll do my best to satisfy you!" Manager Xu said enthusiastically.

"Is there any mid-grade spiritual field?" Li Zhen asked.

A medium-grade spiritual field, based on the spiritual fields rented out in the market town, would require a spiritual farmer to carefully cultivate a low-grade spiritual field for ten years, and would also require considerable investment before it could be upgraded to a medium-grade spiritual field.

If it is really possible to upgrade the low-grade spiritual field to a medium-grade spiritual field, even if the spiritual farmer does not want to rent it for cultivation anymore, he will not return the spiritual field to the market, but will trade it privately.

If it weren't for the fact that many independent cultivators had died in the market, Li Zhen would never have come to inquire under normal circumstances.

"The rental price of a mid-grade spiritual field is not low. It's three hundred kilograms of mid-grade spiritual rice per year, or spiritual objects of equal value!" Manager Xu looked at the two spiritual stones in his hand and gave a kind reminder.

When Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

He has no shortage of first-grade mid-quality spiritual rice. The amount of mid-quality spiritual rice he stole this time is enough to pay many years of rent if he takes out a small portion of it.
