Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 15: Crowdfunding for Immortality
Ji An waited quietly for Lao Huang's reply. He was not sure that the other party would be generous, but he was at least 60% sure.

In the previous life, I had many opportunities to interact with people, and I felt that I had a certain insight into people's hearts. Most people are willing to help someone with a bright future.

Now his image as a magical genius has been established, which is why he is 60 to 70 percent sure.

However, because the two of them have been together for too short a time, there is no chance for them to leave the impression of being grateful, which may make the other party a little worried.

Having said that, whether to lend money or not depends on the other party, and whether he asks for it or not is his business.

Old Huang was not his main target. He wanted to talk to his three creditors, Zhao Mengyao, Zhang Yuanshan, and Chu He, and tell them tactfully that if they lent him more crystals, they would receive a lot of blessings in the future.

Not only these few people, but all the cultivators who entered the sect from Qingsong Taoist Academy were his "potential customers".

If he couldn't borrow enough spirit stones from Zhao Mengyao and the other two, he would lose face and go to everyone he knew.

If you can't come up with a spirit stone, then I can give you a discount and borrow fifty spirit crystals, right?

If you still don't want to borrow it, ten or twenty Spirit Crystals will do. A magic genius is definitely worth that price, right?!

If you don’t have the resources to practice cultivation, then crowdfunding is the way to cultivate immortality!

If he put himself in his shoes, if he still had enough crystals, he would agree to borrow spirit stones from a promising fellow apprentice.

After a salesperson is rejected, lowering your requirements and raising them again will increase your chances of success. This is based on data. Insurance salesmen in previous lives did not work for nothing.

"Junior brother is so ambitious, how can I not help him as a senior brother?"

Old Huang's eyes rolled rapidly, and he nodded in agreement, his words sonorous and powerful.

After saying that, he took out a storage bag from his arms, carefully took out a spirit stone, wiped it with his Taoist robe, and handed it over.

"I will always remember your kindness, Senior Brother!"

Good start!

After taking down Old Huang's first blood, Ji An rubbed the spirit stone with joy, feeling very relieved.

"Don't rush to return the spirit stones. This year is very important to you. While you don't have to pay rent to the sect, earning more crystals is the key to success."

Old Huang paused, then spoke slowly:
"When the spiritual grain is harvested this season, if Xiao Ange needs more spiritual stones, just ask."

With his support, his grandson Huang Feihu will definitely be able to enter the sect after the sect assessment in three years.

He doesn't have many days left in the mountain gate, so it would be great if he could leave a favor for his grandson.

Ji An immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother."

He roughly understood the other party's implication, 'I'll give you three months. If you still make progress, I'll make additional investments!'

I don’t know if it was just a compliment, but I’m a simple-minded junior brother and obviously believed it.

Lao Huang is a disciple at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He gave up practicing and spent most of his energy on earning crystals. He should have quite a bit of savings.

He remembered that the other party said that his grandson had just entered the Taoist temple this year and should not need to use spirit stones to buy meridian-opening pills within a year or two.

If you show higher potential, you will definitely get more 'loan amount'.

Just wait and see!
Old Huang laughed and said:
“The elixirs refined by the sect are in short supply, and it’s almost impossible to get them without some connections.

If Xiao An wants to buy some pills, he can go to the Bishui Market to find Senior Brother Wei Songnian. Unless there are special circumstances, he is there every afternoon.

He has many connections and can often get authentic Huangyadan.

If you want to quickly improve your cultivation, don't buy cheap, low-quality pills, otherwise it will take a lot of extra time to eliminate the poison."

When alchemists make pills, they will always produce a few substandard pills. These pills have low efficacy and high toxicity and are called inferior pills.

Ji An had his own plans in mind, but Lao Huang's earnest teachings also warmed his heart, and he bowed again:

"Thank you, senior brother, for your advice."

The setting sun resembled neatly arranged fish scales, one after another, while the clear water of the lake rippled, a sea of ​​orange.

The sky and water are the same color, confusing the eyes.

Above the lake, talisman birds fly back and forth endlessly, and some talisman instruments are made into the shape of white clouds, making them look even more otherworldly.

Occasionally, there are the clear calls of cranes, which are the children of the rich families flying by on their royal beasts.

The crane flew so fast that it blew the nearby talisman birds to and fro, causing them to whistle and burst into laughter.

Ji An walked with heavy steps, breathing heavily with his mouth wide open, into a bustling market.

Finally, he found a corner and sat down against the wall, clenching his fists and muttering softly:

"When I have crystals, I must buy a talisman bird."

After a short rest, he found the senior brother who always had a smile on his face in the square where the stall was set up according to the information provided by Lao Huang.

A brown animal skin as big as a table was spread on the bluestone slab, and all kinds of things were displayed on it, with small labels on them with the names and prices written on them.

The handwriting is smooth but not sloppy, obviously showing a good foundation in calligraphy.

There were talisman paper, talisman ink, pills, talisman tools, various herbs, minerals and other raw materials. Although there were many things, they were all well organized and not messy at all.

"Junior Brother Ji, you're here!" Wei Songnian's smile made people feel like spring breeze.

"Senior brother actually still remembers me," Ji An's liking for him increased.

Wei Songnian smiled without saying anything. He had a special talent: he could remember people's faces at a glance.

Although this talent was not helpful for cultivating immortals, it helped him expand his network in the business circle.

"Just take a look or order something. If you don't understand anything, just ask."

Ji An spoke directly:
"Senior Brother Huang introduced me here. I came here to buy some Huangya Dan from him."

"Yellow Bud Pill is the most suitable elixir for disciples in the early stages of Qi Refining. A genuine one costs 10 Spirit Crystals, while a defective one costs 5 Spirit Crystals.

Junior brother, do you want the genuine product or the defective one?"

Ji An nodded slightly and handed over the spirit stone he had just received that morning.

He didn't know the price of the defective products, but the price of the genuine products was reasonable.

The retail price of the Huangya Pill produced by the sect is 9 spirit crystals per pill, and one spirit stone can buy a bottle of 12 pills.

"Two genuine ones and one defective one."

"Okay," Wei Songnian wrapped it in white paper skillfully and said with a smile, "Junior brother is also a man with extra money. Do you want something else?"

Not many of the new disciples assigned as spiritual farmers can produce spiritual stones, so they are potential customers!

"Brother, you know my situation. I can't even afford the Talisman Bird. I borrowed the Spirit Stone from Brother Huang."

"It's not easy to borrow spirit stones from Old Huang," Wei Songnian raised his eyebrows slightly. He and Old Huang have been friends for a long time, and often it takes a lot of effort to borrow spirit stones from him.

I've been waiting for you to ask, otherwise it would be a bit awkward for me to show off on my own.

Ji An raised his chin slightly, revealing a slightly proud smile:
"I asked Senior Brother Huang to guide me in casting rain on the spiritual field. When I cast the Minor Cloud Rain Technique, I felt a blessing in my heart, and the spell advanced to a minor level of success."

I have reached the first level of Qi Refining, and have been practicing for less than half a month. I have made some progress in the Small Cloud and Rain Technique. This is the process of cultivating the Taoist body!
Wei Songnian's surprise flashed in his eyes and he smiled:

"It's getting late, I'm closing up shop now, Junior Brother, please have a drink with me."

"Ah, how can I have the nerve to drink from my senior brother?"
