That afternoon, while Chen Xuan was drawing talismans in his room, someone knocked on the courtyard door outside.
"Who?"
Chen Xuan stopped drawing talismans and came to the courtyard to open the door.
I saw an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in his thirties standing outside the door.
"I am Liu Yao, the deacon of the office, and you are Chen Xuan?"
Liu Yao reported his origin and then asked.
"It turns out to be Deacon Liu, please come in." Chen Xuan invited Liu Yao to come in and take a seat in the small courtyard. Then he immediately took out a pot of spiritual wine and poured it on him, and then asked: "I don't have any good tea at home. I just bought this."
I’d like to invite Deacon Liu to taste the spirit wine.”
"Spiritual wine?" Smelling the aroma of the wine, Liu Yao picked it up and took a sip. Then he nodded slightly and said, "It is indeed spiritual wine. This pound of spirit wine costs ten pounds of blood tooth rice, so you are willing to give it up."
"I wonder what Deacon Liu is looking for?"
Chen Xuan asked in a low voice and poured another glass of spiritual wine.
"Don't be nervous, that's a good thing." Liu Yao said in a deep voice: "The war is tense, and the demand for spiritual talismans has increased significantly. The spiritual talismans painted by casual cultivators in Fang City will be purchased at the price of six pieces per pound of blood tooth rice.
, private transactions are prohibited.”
"Unified purchase."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded.
This is indeed a good thing for Talisman Makers.
From now on, all you need to do is draw the symbols with peace of mind, and you don't have to spend time setting up a stall at all.
However, this is not a good thing for casual cultivators who need spiritual talismans. You cannot buy spiritual talismans in the free market, so you can only buy them in stores, and even stores may not have spiritual talismans.
If magic talismans are scarce, the price will definitely increase.
If you want to buy magic talismans, you need to spend more money.
"Deacon Liu, what talisman is needed above?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"There are three types of fireball talisman, golden light talisman and soul-soothing talisman." Liu Yao paused, and then said: "Don't worry, since the abovementioned unified purchase of talismans, they will not let you suffer. The talisman paper and ink required to draw the talisman are here.
All purchases in the store are discounted by 50%, and every hundred primary talismans sold will be counted as a meritorious service.
With meritorious deeds, you can exchange them for the method of drawing talismans.
The method of drawing a primary magic talisman only requires about five meritorious deeds.
If you accumulate fifty meritorious deeds, you can exchange them for the method of drawing intermediate spiritual talismans. There are even methods for drawing advanced spiritual talismans. As long as you have enough meritorious deeds, you can redeem them.
In addition to the method of drawing spiritual talismans, you can also exchange them for magic weapon-level talisman pens."
"Meritors can be exchanged for magic talisman drawing techniques and magic weapon-level talisman pens."
This really made Chen Xuan a little excited.
The method of drawing an intermediate talisman requires fifty meritorious deeds.
With his current twelve primary talismans a day, it would take him more than 13 months to accumulate fifty meritorious deeds. However, as his cultivation level increases, he can draw more talismans every day. Perhaps it only takes half a year to accumulate five merit talismans.
Ten meritorious deeds.
If you can have a magic weapon-level talisman pen, it won't be a problem to draw thirty or forty elementary talismans a day.
"Anyway, do your best, I have to find the next Talisman Maker."
Liu Yao stood up and left.
"Deacon Liu, walk slowly."
Before leaving, Chen Xuan gave the remaining spiritual wine to the other party.
"You're a nice guy, very knowledgeable. I'll remember you." Before leaving, Liu Yao patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said, "If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the office to see me."
"Deacon Liu, walk slowly."
Chen Xuan sent Liu Yao out of the courtyard.
He didn't close the courtyard door until the other party's figure disappeared.
A jar of spiritual wine weighing one kilogram was worth ten kilograms of blood tooth rice, which was half a jade spirit coin. Although giving it away made him feel a little painful, it was worth it if he could establish a relationship with the deacon in the office.
The office is an institution established by the Five Alliances in Fang City. To serve as a deacon in the office, one must be at least a monk in the Qi Refining Realm, and must be a monk from the Five Alliances.
In the future, maybe there will be something that needs the other party's attention.
After sending Liu Yao away, Chen Xuan continued to draw the talisman.
After a while, the twelve spiritual talismans were drawn and the inner energy was exhausted.
Chen Xuan took the magic talisman and went to the Fangshi office to hand in the talisman. He received two kilograms of bloody tooth rice, and then went to a restaurant to eat and inquire about the news.
The Five Alliances originally had specialized Talisman Makers.
Now, it has actually come to the point where the purchase of casual cultivating talismans is unified, and private trading of talismans is prohibited.
From this we can see that the war situation is definitely not optimistic.
"Jiujiang County actually fell."
Chen Xuan was surprised when he heard the discussions around him.
In March, the prefect of Yuanzhou personally led 50,000 government troops and 100,000 family troops, a total of 150,000 troops to annihilate the rebel army. Only three months have passed since then. Not only has it failed to annihilate the rebel army, but Jiujiang has been defeated.
The county was lost.
Yuanzhou has only seven counties in total.
Nowadays, Yishui County, Yingchuan County and Jiujiang County, a total of three counties have fallen into the hands of the rebels. Nearly half of the area was occupied by the rebels. The five alliances were also anxious and sent more than a dozen people.
Qi refining realm monks and hundreds of inner Qi realm martial artists.
The Taiping Sect's rebel army and Tianyin Sect's side also sent out hundreds of Qi Refining Realm and Inner Qi Realm martial artists.
The rebel army occupied Wanzhou, which originally belonged to the spiritual lineage of the Wanzhou family. Naturally, it was also the spiritual lineage occupied by the Taiping Sect. Moreover, there were also aristocratic families in Wanzhou who were greedy for life and feared death. In order to survive, they joined the rebel army.
After occupying Wanzhou's spiritual veins, the Taiping Sect began to frantically make talismans.
The leader of the Taiping Sect started out as a talisman in ancient times. He received the teachings from strangers and developed the art of talismans. On the battlefield, a talisman was thrown away as if it was free of charge.
In addition, Tianyin Sect is also good at refining ghosts and zombies.
The monks of the Tianyin Sect use the evil energy of the battlefield to refine the evil corpse, making it invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire.
Some iron corpses can fight against inner Qi realm martial artists, and some powerful silver corpses can even fight against Qi refining realm monks. Ordinary spells have no effect on silver corpses at all.
Therefore, the government army led by Yuanzhou Lieutenant was defeated steadily and retreated to Wuling County.
With the support of monks from the Five Alliances, Wuling County was temporarily defended.
"The situation is not good for the Yuanzhou government!"
Chen Xuan thought secretly in his heart.
No wonder the five alliances want to purchase the talismans of the casual cultivators.
This was on the battlefield, and they were suppressed by the rebel army with the firepower of spiritual talismans. If there were not enough spiritual talismans to consume, the casualties of the Yuanzhou Prefecture Army would definitely be much greater than that of the rebel army.
After listening for a while, Chen Xuan left the restaurant.
Although the situation is unfavorable to the Yuanzhou government, the Five Alliances have ruled Yuanzhou for hundreds of years and have existed longer than the Jin Dynasty. Even if they were to fall, they would not be able to do so in a short while.
Life must go on.
Anyway, he has the skill of making talismans. Whether the Five Alliances rule Fangshi or the rebel army destroys the Five Alliances and takes over Fangshi, it will have no impact on him. He can make a living wherever he goes.
