Chapter 93, annual income of hundreds of thousands
Under the thick snow, Li Yuan and the old woman walked side by side, while Li Yu followed behind with boredom.
Snowflakes fell lightly on the hair of the three of them.
"Senior Sister, that fellow Daoist Lin is indeed a good match. You should take a closer look. If Senior Sister were still more than ten years younger, she wouldn't tell you this and just get married!"
"Think about it, Fellow Daoist Lin's grandfather is a great monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm. If you follow him, why bother making money? Not to mention other things, at least there will be no shortage of resources in the later stage of Qi refining! Fellow Daoist Lin is also good-looking.
Not bad, there are countless female cultivators in the sect who want to be with him!"
Li Yuandao: "Senior sister, you can give it a try. Maybe Fellow Daoist Lin will like this!"
The old woman hesitated for a moment, "Oh, junior sister! Real money is the way to go! Are you really someone outside?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Li Yu!" the old woman shouted with a straight face.
"Ah? It's none of my business? I don't know!" Li Yu, who was performing martial arts, was stunned for a moment and waved his hands quickly.
The old woman asked: "Is there anyone outside your aunt?"
"Ah? No, no! How could it be? Auntie has a high level of vision!" Of course, Li Yu could not betray his auntie, and quickly denied,
"Really?" The old woman was doubtful and snorted coldly: "It's best like this, otherwise, you don't know the master's temper!"
While they were talking, they arrived in front of a courtyard. Li Yu clasped his hands behind his back and did not go in.
The people inside were really scary, and she would be frightened every time they met. But at this time, a voice came, "Xiao Liyu, come here too!"
Li Yu sighed, forced a smile and walked in.
In the courtyard, a female nun with gray hair stood in the snow with her hands folded.
This person is none other than Li Yuan’s master, Zhou Rong.
"Master!"
"Master!"
the three shouted.
Zhou Rong turned around, revealing an old face.
After some common conversation, Zhou Rong suddenly straightened her face and said: "In addition to some things about the war, there is another important thing when I come here this time!" Then she looked at Li Yuan, "Before we set off, Elder Lin and I
He said hello and wants you to get married to his grandson Lin Hao!"
"Master!" Li Yuan shouted.
"is there a problem?"
"I don't have any feelings for that Lin Hao!"
"I feel like we can cultivate slowly. It takes a long time for us monks. Besides, it doesn't matter if we can't survive. If we get a status there, we will have no worries for the rest of our lives!"
"Master is right! I have often advised my junior sister during this period, but my junior sister doesn't seem to care about this matter. She is always a little absent-minded every time she talks about it, for fear of——" the old woman said meaningfully.
"Okay! Master is also a person who has been here before and knows what is right. You don't have to be so resistant and get in touch first!" Zhou Rong said.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes!"
Coming out of the yard, Li Yuan and Li Yu were walking on the road.
"Auntie, there's no way you can drag it on like this, otherwise -"
"No! Master's temperament has always been consistent. If he knew that I followed a casual cultivator who is not as strong as myself, I don't know how angry he would be!" She sighed and said: "Master's face is getting older and older, I'm afraid.
The end is coming! How can I do such a thing at this time?"
Then you still did it back then?
Li Yu muttered secretly.
They have been with Zhou Rong since childhood and are in awe of Zhou Rong. Zhou Rong naturally treats them as his own children. Naturally, they do not want their master to be hit at this time.
"Let's hold it off for now!" Li Yuan sighed.
However, as soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong. I looked up and saw an old figure standing not far away, with my senior sister standing behind me.
"division--"
"Say it!"
Li Yuan quickly knelt down, lowered his head and said, "Yes... I'm with someone else!"
"How long?"
"During the strange disaster, I thought I couldn't escape, so——"
"Is he from the Iron Sword Sect?"
"Not really! He's a casual cultivator!"
"What strength?"
"Middle stage of Qi refining!"
"What does it do?"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The one who made the talisman!"
"It's quite a bit of a skill!" Zhou Rong's face softened and she said, "It's not like I'm insulting you. I can barely make money with my ability to make talismans! I won't starve to death with you in the future! Come with me.
Tell me his specific origins!"
Li Yuan remained silent.
Zhou Rong suddenly sneered and said: "Okay, okay! You are well protected! That's all right! The caution I taught you has been used on me! Traitor! You traitor!"
She was extremely angry and threw her hands away. A wave of wind and snow carried the magic power and lifted Li Yuan away, and left with a wave of sleeves.
"Master! Master!" Li Yuan quickly got up, but his legs gave out and he fell down.
Although Li Yu was also knocked over by the snowflakes, he was not the first to bear the brunt. Naturally, nothing happened. Seeing this, he quickly crawled over and tried to help Li Yuan up. However, upon looking at him, he immediately noticed that Li Yuan's face was pale and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Auntie! This master has gone too far, how can he be like this!" Li Yu was about to get up and argue with Zhou Rong, but Li Yuan held her back and said, "Don't go, it's my fault!"
Li Yu stamped her feet, "Master, this is so unkind! Money, money, money! Everything is money!"
Li Yu, who had always had a good temper, was filled with depression. Looking at Li Yuan standing blankly in the snow, he couldn't help but said: "It would be great if the senior was rich and powerful!"
However, when you think about it, it is impossible. There are so many casual cultivators in the world, and who can do this?
"If you want Master to agree, you must at least be in the advanced stage of Qi refining!" Li Yu calculated, and then became extremely depressed.
From the early stage to the middle stage of Qi refining, to the later stage, I don’t know how many monks got stuck.
What can be done has already been done, so why wait until now?
······
"This is it, fellow Taoist, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't destroy anything inside when you leave!" A monk led Lu Nan to a courtyard and said.
Lu Nan took a look inside. It was quite large, with rockery pavilions and gurgling water.
In the words of the previous life, it was Jiangnan Garden.
In ancient times, only wealthy families could afford to live there.
To live here, you only need to spend 5 low-grade spiritual stones for a year.
The price/performance ratio is still good!
Liuyunfang was much quieter and not as noisy as outside. Lu Nan walked around to get a clear idea of the environment.
The house is fully equipped with beds, tables and chairs, paintings, green plants, etc., all new. There is also a small martial arts training ground in the backyard, with some bronze figures placed on it, presumably for testing spells.
There is a practice room, teahouse and kitchen next to it.
The design is quite good. After traveling for so long, it is rare to see such a comfortable residence, which makes Lu Nan feel very good.
night.
Lunan took a hot bath and felt extremely relaxed.
Although at his level of cultivation, even if he didn't take a shower for several years, there wouldn't be any odor, but the habits he developed over twenty years in his previous life cannot be eliminated in a short time.
Take everything out of the storage bag.
Spiritual stones, magic weapons, talismans, magic robes, elixirs, etc.
"This net worth is probably considered a little bit of money during the late Qi refining period as a casual cultivator!" Lu Nan thought to himself.
Like the deceased old man from the Sanyuan Sect, his total net worth was less than what he is now, but sometimes it can't be compared like this. Most monks have average net worth, but it doesn't mean they are poor. Real rich people don't look at their physical appearance.
How much money he brings depends on how much he can earn in a day.
Can a casual cultivator who exchanged all his wealth for 10,000 spirit stones be richer than a disciple of a sect who carries around 5,000 spirit stones?
It's impossible when you think about it.
Pick up things you don't need and sell them when you have the chance. Keeping them is a waste.
After doing everything, take out the paper and draw carefully.
When I was in a hurry, the progress of drawing the talisman paper almost stalled. Now it has stabilized temporarily and I can continue to improve.
Lu Nan was very concerned about making talismans. The higher the level of cultivation, the more spirit stones needed to be spent. You can't just kill people every time, right?
If you do this, sooner or later you will overturn.
How many people who come out to fool around can end up well?
It took a long time to draw, but only succeeded once. The drawing of the small golden talisman was more complicated than the small evil-proofing talisman and the small cloud and rain talisman, and it also consumed more mana. Of course, for Lu Nan, it did not have much impact.
While in Bluestone City, he gradually mastered some techniques to reduce the mana poured into the last process. In this case, the mana consumed can be reduced to another level.
For spell practice that also requires mana, this is undoubtedly a huge good thing.
In the evening, Lu Nan simply made some food, then sat cross-legged in the practice room and swallowed a Qi and Blood Pill.
After a moment, a burst of hot air surged out of his abdomen, making him feel as if he had swallowed fire.
Ha~
The hot breath rushed out of his throat.
This Qi and Blood Pill is really——
So embarrassing!
Lu Nan lowered his head and looked at the bulge in the middle, and his face turned slightly red.
The so-called blood energy is strong and full of energy. When it is full, it will overflow. When it overflows, it will be bright. When it is bright, it will be difficult to hide...
Forget it, there are no outsiders here!
Ignoring it, he stood up and started playing the supporting boxing techniques of Xiaobao Xiangshu.
"Proficiency 1 ·······"
For a long time, he looked at the panel with a hint of joy on his face.
The Qi and Blood Pill can indeed stimulate the Little Treasure Elephant Technique and speed up the improvement of proficiency!
It's a pity that he only has one Qi and Blood Pill that he can swallow.
"Let's see if there's anything for sale at the market tomorrow!"
······
The next day, at dawn, Lu Nan was about to go out, and then heard a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a young female nun standing in front of the door with a kind smile on her face.
When Lu Nan took a look, he knew that this woman had a good figure. The light blue robe on her body seemed to be of good quality. It was not comparable to the lowest-level robes. There were some crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but they were not very obvious. Her facial features
She has good looks and can be called beautiful.
"Fellow Taoist is——"
"I'm right across from you. This courtyard has been empty for several months since the last owner left. Yesterday, I saw the sign on the door, which showed that it was obviously occupied by someone. So I came over to pay my respects to the door!" said the female nun.
As he spoke, he handed over the fresh meat in his hand.
Lu Nan saw that it wasn't anything valuable, so he took it.
The two exchanged names, and the other's name was Annan, who lived with her husband. As they were talking, a monk suddenly came over in a hurry, stepped in front of the female cultivator, vaguely blocked Annan behind him, squeezed out a smile, and said:
"It turns out to be a new fellow Taoist! I wonder what my fellow Taoist does?"
Lu Nan saw his little move and smiled inwardly. He was not a bad person. As for guarding against thieves?
This man should be Annan's husband, but he looked a bit old in this aspect. He was estimated to be over fifty, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: "It's such a pity to marry an old cow at such a young age!"
He didn't think about it, after all, he was very young in his heart.
"I'm just a casual cultivator!" Lu Nan said.
The hostility of the old monk in front of him seemed to have suddenly gone away, and he smiled and said: "Who here is not a casual cultivator! Fellow Taoist, you don't need to mind!" He took out a piece of talisman paper from his body and handed it to Lu Nan.
Lu Nan lowered his head and saw that it was the Xiao Yun Yu Talisman, and immediately said: "I can't use it! It's too precious!"
The old monk pretended to persist for a moment and said with emotion: "Fellow Taoist, I am an honest person, but don't think that I have other purposes. In fact, this kind of talisman paper is nothing to me. I can draw it casually and I can make three
Five cards come out!”
Annan tugged on his clothes and explained: "Don't listen to his nonsense, he is just a charm maker with average abilities!"
"Haha, yes, yes! Fellow Taoist, don't be offended, I sometimes lose control of my mouth!"
Watching the two couples leave, Lu Nan shook his head.
The female is pretty normal, the male——
Forget it, stop interacting with each other!
Xu Shan and Annan returned home, talking about some trivial matters about selling talisman paper.
"Why did you come back so quickly today?"
"Hey, that's right, don't even look at who made the talisman!" Xu Shan said proudly.
Annan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Be more serious!"
"Okay, okay! You're so troublesome. I don't know how many female cultivators say that I'm sharp-tongued and can be dealt with!" He didn't dare to say this too loudly. He still cared very much about his wife.
Annan heard everything clearly, but she knew her sweetheart's temperament, so she didn't bother to criticize him.
Xu Shandao: "There must be something wrong with the talisman shop. The talisman paper produced by the talisman shop has decreased! However, the fast sales are also related to the improvement of my craftsmanship!"
"Where has it improved? I think it's about the same!"
"What do you women know? Only the craftsmen know about the craftsmen's affairs. How can you see it with your naked eyes?" Xu Shan glared and said,
"Why didn't you tell me when you went to visit me today?"
Annan said angrily: "I want to tell you, but you have to be here! I was away from home all night, and not long after I came back, I went to sell talisman paper again! I can't chase him to the market.
Let me tell you? It’s not something shameful! But you didn’t come back last night, did you go to that hook-and-rail place again?”
"Slander! How could I go...I definitely didn't go to Goulan Land last night!"
"Yes! Which widow's house did you go to and broke into?"
Xu Shan snorted and said, "Don't worry about it!"
Annan was also angry and sneered: "I think fellow Taoist fellow Lu is tall and handsome, what do you think?"
"Slander! You are slandering!" Xu Shan said excitedly, feeling his heart was hit hard.
Fu Er said proudly: "He is a casual cultivator with nothing. He is not someone who can make a living. It is better for me to make talismans!"
Annan shook his head and ignored him.
Of course, Lu Nan didn't know about the jealousy caused by his handsome face, so he stayed at home to practice with peace of mind. Except for purchasing some food on the first day, he stayed at home the rest of the time.
Because he was constantly testing spells, he made the training ground full of holes. He wanted to have someone repair it, but he gave up the idea when he thought that he would be testing more in the future.
······
A few days later, he concentrated and used the talisman pen in his hand to slowly outline a complete and complex rune on the leather paper. A flash of spiritual light connected with the leather paper.
The little golden amulet is done!
Looking at the panel, the little golden amulet has entered the realm of mastery.
The more complicated the talisman paper is, the more difficult it is to improve it. It takes several successful drawings to increase the proficiency by 1 point.
As you can imagine, the time and energy consumed in the future will only increase.
Mastering the level of talismans is a hurdle. Only when you reach this level can you be considered successful in making talismans. You basically don’t have to worry about losing money if you use it to make money.
For example, at the proficiency level, if you are lucky, you can make some profits, but if you are unlucky, it is not impossible to suffer serious losses. Quite a few spell makers are stuck at this level.
"With my current strength, if I try my best to draw the talismans, I can make five or six small golden talismans in one day!"
The current price of a small gold amulet is about 50 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, and in many cases, it is still expensive but not marketable. Basically, it is bought as soon as it appears, and the price is estimated to be even higher.
If he does nothing and devotes all his energy to drawing talismans, he can earn 300 low-grade spiritual stones in one day. After deducting the cost, there is a net profit of more than 260 yuan.
100 days is more than 20,000 yuan.
After one year, the income reached more than 90,000 yuan.
"The art of making talisman is the real god!" Lu Nan sighed in his heart.
I think he put in all the effort and risk to kill a late-stage Qi Refining monk, and his net income was only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In his previous life, he would have traded his life for money.
But making and selling talismans is a high-end technology stream, making more money without any risk.
It’s clear which one is better and which one is worse!
Of course, this is only the most ideal situation. First of all, it would be difficult for him to get the vellum consumed for a year if he started working at full strength. Tianshou City is still a bit small.
If you go to Qinghu Town, it will be like a dragon swimming in the sea.
After a period of time, the talisman-making technique will be advanced or perfected, and the efficiency will be higher. The income will naturally increase several times, and the annual income of hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones will truly be achieved!
"Tsk, tsk, this is the real money!"
Lu Nan was extremely excited and wanted to kill Qinghu Town directly.
"It's a pity that the war between the three factions has not yet come to an end. Qinghu Town is the main industrial place of Iron Sword Sect. I wonder what kind of turmoil it will cause? Let's wait until the war is over!"
Lu Nan's goal was very clear. He had to visit the Immortal City, whether it was for subsequent Qigong training or foundation building.
Seeing this, he suddenly thought of the ancestor of the Wang family.
If you are a casual practitioner, if you can reach the ninth level of Qi refining, you must have all the Qi refining techniques, but I don’t know if they are encrypted!
As soon as her thoughts changed, Lu Nan gave up this tempting idea.
He doesn't know much now, so it would be risky to target a monk in the late stage of Qi refining. He might as well wait for a while, earn more spirit stones, and then he can naturally solve all the problems in the fairy city.
