Chapter 379 Increase revenue and reduce expenditure
"Xiao Xiu will ask the best refiner in our shop to make this spiritual sword."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop obviously understood Wang Chen's mood at this moment, and said with a smile: "If you are lucky enough, the Master might be able to get a flying sword that is a quasi-magic weapon!"
Weapon refining can be said to be one of the biggest mystical arts in the world of immortality.
During the casting process of a magic weapon, strange changes may occur due to the material and heat.
The final product may exceed the normal grade or be endowed with some special attributes.
The so-called top quality.
Generally speaking, the more advanced the skill of the weapon refiner, the higher the probability of producing "the best".
Of course, this kind of "superior quality" is hard to come by, and it's rare.
Although the shopkeeper of Jianpu made it clear that he was trying to comfort Wang Chen, Wang Chen really felt a lot better after hearing this.
He couldn't help but ask: "How many spiritual stones does a real third-level flying sword need?"
A quasi-magic weapon, no matter how accurate it is, is only a second-level spiritual weapon.
The answer from the shopkeeper of the sword shop left Wang Chen speechless - even the worst magic weapon would have to start with ten thousand souls!
What is the concept of ten thousand spirits?
It's equivalent to 1.2 million Xingling, even if he spends all his wealth to buy it!
As for magic weapon-level flying swords, you must know that flying swords are considered "luxury items" among magic weapons.
Wang Chen weighed the storage bag and felt that he was still poor.
He realized that if he really let go of his hands and feet, all the spiritual stones currently available would not be enough to last for a few years.
I previously purchased mission information and now transformed the flying sword, which cost 400,000 spirit stones.
Nearly half of my savings were gone.
Considering your long-term plan, you must find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure!
After leaving the sword shop, Wang Chen continued to wander around Wanling City.
This time he went in and out of some shops with purpose, asking about the prices of various materials, magic weapons, talismans and elixirs.
After turning around, Wang Chen was in a very unpleasant mood.
Because he found that his best method of earning spiritual stones had no use in this fairy city!
There are countless shops in Wanling City, including many talisman shops.
Wang Chen made some calculations after asking, and was shocked to find that even if he came up with a Dzogchen-level talisman-making technique, it would be difficult to compete with these professional talisman shops.
Because the prices of talismans here are so transparent, what quality sells for what price, there is almost no difference between stores.
Profit margins are severely restricted!
The materials in Wanling City are expensive, labor is expensive, and the rent is even more expensive. If Wang Chen wants to trade talismans, he can only go to the fairy market to set up a stall to sell them. Even if the talismans he refines are stronger than others, he can't expect to sell them at a high price.
Especially for first-level talismans, Wang Chen noticed that the talismans sold in many shops looked like they were "printed" in batches using a special method, and the finished products were almost identical.
But the quality is not bad at all!
This shows that the Xihai Lingyu has a more advanced level of productivity!
Monks working alone really have no competitiveness compared with these large-scale workshops and shops.
As a result, if Wang Chen wants to make money through talismans, he has to work hard on higher-level talismans.
The profits from magic talismans are relatively higher.
But it's also limited.
If you spend a lot of time and energy and get not much, what’s the point?
In the next few days, Wang Chen made two more trips to the Fairy Market in Wanling City.
The fairy market in Wanling City is very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of stalls. It attracts a large number of monks to trade every day.
Wang Chen conducted some market research in this fairy city.
The result made him even more disappointed.
Just looking at the trading of talismans, the involution is really severe.
The learning threshold for refining talismans is low, and the production cost is also low, so there are countless monks who work part-time as talisman makers.
Wang Chen saw several skilled talisman makers in the Fairy Market, and the talismans for sale reached the level of Dacheng, and even had some level of master level.
The price is not high at all.
In contrast, although the competition is equally fierce for high-input and high-output alchemy and weapon refining, the potential profit is definitely higher than that of talisman making.
Should I change my career to learn alchemy or weapon refining?
Wang Chen couldn't make up his mind for a while.
He didn't rush to make a decision. He went to the sword shop to get back his modified wind and thunder sword.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop smiled and presented a sword box: "Master, please take a look."
Wang Chen took the sword box and opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The size and appearance of this wind and thunder sword have not changed, except that there is an extra red line of fire on the spine of the sword, and the sword light absorbs the flaming energy, which is completely different from before the transformation.
He couldn't help but hold the sword in his hand and try to inject mana into it.
The sword instantly ignited with blazing flames.
The sword flame transformed by the sword energy jumped upwards several feet high, and the lightning flashed in the flames, and the momentum was extremely amazing!
There is no doubt that its origins have undergone radical changes.
The most valuable thing is that the wind and thunder properties of this spiritual sword have not been weakened, but the thunder properties have been enhanced.
But the strongest thing is the newly added fire nature, which is very consistent with Wang Chen’s five elements!
This spiritual sword now should be called the Wind and Thunder Flame Sword.
It's just that this name is too tacky, so I'll have to change it to another one with beeps when I go back.
Wang Chen couldn't put it down and played with it, feeling extremely satisfied.
"This sword can be called a magic weapon."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop stroked his beard and explained: "It can increase the power of fire spells by up to one and a half times. It also has the power of wind and thunder, and its power is even greater!"
A "you've made a lot of money" expression.
Wang Chen chuckled and immediately put away this brand new top-quality spiritual sword.
I happily paid the remaining balance.
Then the shopkeeper of the sword shop placed two flying swords on the counter.
He pointed to the flying sword on the left and said: "This messenger flying sword is a gift, the Master can take it for free."
"As for this one..."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop pointed to the flying sword on the right: "It is different from the ordinary messenger flying sword. It has the ability to control flight and protect the body. It is a second-level high-grade sword."
Flying means flying with the sword, and protecting the body means protecting the body with the light of the sword.
Sword cultivators usually have three flying swords, one main battle sword and two auxiliary swords.
This is a typical auxiliary sword!
Wang Chen really accepted the other party's business methods: "How many spirit stones?"
"I can give you a discount if you want."
The shopkeeper of the sword shop has a kind-faced look and a smile like a thousand-year-old fox: "Just one hundred thousand spirits."
He knew that Wang Chen had not won the spirit, so he directly used the lower spirit to bid.
"Eighty thousand!"
Wang Chen counterattacked fiercely.
He doesn't want to be taken advantage of by the other party, but he can't help but really needs it.
I have already knelt down, so I don’t miss this bow!
The shopkeeper of the sword shop shook his head like a rattle: "This small shop will not negotiate the price!"
But Wang Chen made up his mind to fight with the opponent to the death.
In the end, he bought this auxiliary flying sword for 88,000 spells.
