Chapter 8 Fox Tail Pen (please collect, recommend, invest)
The stall area for casual cultivators, which is a hundred feet in diameter, is densely packed with stalls of various sizes. A large number of monks in the Qi Refining Stage are shuttled among them, carefully observing the spiritual objects neatly displayed on each stall.
Buying spiritual objects here requires a certain degree of vision, some are real and some are fake. Once you make a purchase, even if you suffer a loss, you can only blame your own poor eyesight.
Every day, there are some monks who think they have profound knowledge and are searching for treasures here, but unfortunately, only a very small number of them succeed.
Sun Mingsheng didn't have much interest in Taobao, so he chose a relatively remote location, placed twelve Firebird Talismans and three Yinling Grasses neatly, and started selling them.
The fire attribute is known for its stronger attack power among the common five elements attributes, and the Fire Bird Technique is also the best among the first-level mid-level attributes.
The first-grade low-grade Yin Ling grass has a wide range of applications and a low price. It has already reached ten years and its quality is not inferior, so there is no need to worry about selling it.
"One first-grade medium-grade Fire Bird Talisman, one spiritual stone, three first-grade low-grade Yin Spirit Grass, four spiritual stones."
Sun Mingsheng held up a piece of cloth that he had prepared in advance, wrote down the price and type clearly, and then sat behind the stall with his eyes closed to meditate.
All the items he sells are genuine spiritual items that are widely in demand. They are not just for hoarding, so there is no need to hawk like some stall owners.
Stalls in the market can be basically divided into two types. Those that use various dazzling means to attract customers are basically some relatively unpopular or low-grade treasures.
On the other hand, people like Sun Mingsheng sitting behind the stall must be selling some hard currency, so they don't have to worry about customers at all.
"How about five spiritual stones and six pieces of the Fire Bird Talisman?" After a cup of tea, a Qi Refining Stage monk in green clothes appeared near the stall and bargained tentatively.
"My Firebird Talisman is not a defective product. The power of each one has not been compromised at all. One spiritual stone per piece." Naturally, Sun Mingsheng would not give in easily.
"Eleven spiritual stones, if I buy these twelve fire bird talismans, my fellow Taoist can return home early." The monk in green looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"This is my small business. Twelve talismans can only earn one spiritual stone. If you sincerely buy one spiritual stone," Sun Mingsheng refused to give in.
"The lines are complete, the talismans are neat, the spiritual power is abundant, and the price is moderate. This talisman seal is of the highest quality. Here are three." The monk in green clothes had not yet made up his mind, but the second customer had already appeared.
This monk had a certain understanding of talismans and seal scripts, and in a few words he clearly explained the advantages of the Fire Bird Talisman refined by Sun Mingsheng.
"Give me five spiritual talismans." Seeing more and more monks gathered around, the monk in green clothes showed a look of pain on his face and handed out five spiritual stones.
A quarter of an hour later, the last Fire Bird Talisman was sold, twelve spiritual stones were collected, and only three first-level low-grade Yin Spirit Grasses were left on the stall.
However, at this time, Sun Mingsheng already had some confidence in his heart. Even if he could not sell it successfully, he could still sell it to his family in exchange for some spiritual stones.
It's just that the shop opened by the family also needs to have some profit. Three Yin Ling Grass can only be exchanged for three spiritual stones at most, which is far inferior to selling it directly.
"The 10-year-old Yin Ling Grass in such perfect condition is used to make elixirs. How about trading it for two Qi Gathering Pills?" Before waiting for too long, a pretty female cultivator in white clothes appeared and was ready to trade.
Yinling grass.
Qi Gathering Pills are the elixir most suitable for assisting in improving cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training. One pill sells for two spirit stones, and it is also a hard currency in the market.
"Of course I can." Naturally, Sun Mingsheng would not reject this kind of transaction at all.
In a sense, he still had an advantage in this transaction. If he met some fussy monks, two Qi Gathering Pills could be exchanged for four Yin Ling Grass.
In one morning, all the spiritual objects prepared by Sun Mingsheng were sold out. There were thirty-three spiritual stones and two Qi Gathering Pills in the storage bag.
The relatively sufficient spiritual stones will naturally need to be replaced with some needed cultivation resources, the most important ones must be talisman paper and talisman ink.
This time in the market transaction, I earned four spirit stones, which is equivalent to two Qi Gathering Pills. In the future, as the success rate of making talismans increases, I will earn more spirit stones.
Although it would consume a certain amount of time and energy, he still could not give up making this talisman. After all, with his current cultivation level, there were too few ways to earn spiritual stones.
Talisman paper and talisman ink are not scarce resources, and they are sold at most stalls. What Sun Mingsheng needs is to choose the best from the best, and choose something of high quality and low price.
Talisman paper is the only carrier used to carry spells, and it also has a certain impact on the success rate of making talisman seals; talisman ink is the connection channel between mana and talisman paper, and also plays an important role in the process of making talisman seals.
.
Due to the influence of various factors, there is naturally a certain difference in the quality of talisman paper and talisman ink of the same grade, so we have to pay attention to it.
In addition, the talisman paper Sun Mingsheng planned to purchase this time also had a relatively large number of talisman inks, so he naturally had to bargain a lot to get the maximum benefit.
"How do you sell talisman paper for Dao Dao? How much is the talisman ink worth?" After an hour of comparison, we finally selected a stall that specializes in selling talisman paper and talisman ink.
Compared with other stalls, the talisman papers here are obviously smoother, and you can see the orderly veins in them under the sunlight.
There is a layer of faint blood on top of the talisman, and spiritual power is floating around. The talisman is generally made from the blood of monsters of different grades, and the amount of blood is also an important criterion for its quality.
"One piece of talisman paper and one stack of spiritual stones, and one bottle of talisman and three spiritual stones (one bottle of talisman ink can make ten stacks of talisman paper)" The stall owner is a young monk with a stern face.
"If you purchase ten stacks of talisman paper and get a bottle of talisman ink, can you get an extra stack of talisman paper?" Sun Mingsheng asked tentatively on the side.
"Your Excellency, are you a Talisman Maker?" Before the young monk could reply, a rather crisp voice asked in reply. It was a young, rather playful girl who was in the early stages of Qi training.
"I only know how to make one or two kinds of talisman seals, and I dare not call myself a talisman maker." He did not deny it, nor did he admit it directly.
"Do you need a talisman pen? It is made of first-order middle-grade wild fox tail hair and first-order middle-grade Qingfeng bamboo. It can increase the success rate of first-order low-grade talisman seals by 10%, and the success rate of first-order middle-grade talisman seal scripts by half.
"I need thirty spiritual stones," the little girl asked seriously.
"Can I take a look?" Sun Mingsheng's heart moved. What he used to make the talisman now was just a simple talisman pen that barely channeled the magic power.
Now that you are ready to continue on the road of making talismans, a good quality talisman pen is naturally indispensable.
The price of a brand new first-level mid-grade talisman pen is about 70 spirit stones. The price is so cheap, it must be a used item used by others.
"Fellow Taoist, please see, this talisman pen is still 70% new and does not have any defects."
