As soon as Wang Chen stepped into the store, the square-faced shopkeeper standing behind the counter immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "The store has a new batch of mid-to-high-grade Qi-training talismans. Do you want to take a look?"
Wang Chen looked around and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you collect talismans here?"
This talisman shop has a small storefront, much worse than the shop where he used to buy talisman-making supplies.
But small stores have advantages.
When a minor cultivator like him who is on the fourth level of Qi training comes in, people are still very polite.
Moreover, small shop owners are the most flexible in doing business.
"receive!"
The square-faced shopkeeper replied without hesitation: "As long as the quality is good, the price is negotiable!"
"Um."
Wang Chen nodded, took out two stacks of talismans from his storage bag and placed them on the counter.
A stack of hundreds!
The square-faced shopkeeper was immediately surprised.
He saw that Wang Chen was ordinary and his cultivation was very ordinary, so he thought he was here to sell a few talismans to help him out.
The shopkeeper has seen many low-level monks like this.
He never expected that Wang Chen would get two hundred talismans in one shot!
Anyone who is a shopkeeper has poor eyesight.
Therefore, he estimated the number of talismans at a glance.
The square-faced shopkeeper’s attitude was even more polite: “Can you try it and take a look?”
After getting Wang Chen's permission, the owner of the talisman shop began to carefully examine the two stacks of talismans.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became.
These two stacks of talismans are all meteoric fire talismans, but there are obvious differences in quality.
The Meteor Fire Talisman on the left has clear aura and inner ink, and is in excellent condition.
What's rare is that hundreds of talismans are spread out like this, as if they were printed.
It’s almost impossible to fault!
Of course, the talisman must be drawn by a talisman master, and it will appear one stroke at a time. There is no possibility of printing.
A Talisman Master with such skills is already qualified to be a guest of the Zifu family!
The hundreds of meteorite fire talismans on the right are in poor quality.
But it is also a quality product.
After inspecting all the two hundred talismans, the square-faced shopkeeper thought for a while and said cautiously: "Fellow Taoist, I have ninety spirits for this pile of meteor fire talismans. What do you think of this stack of seventy spirits?"
The Meteor Fire Talisman is one of the most commonly used talismans among monks, and the price of one piece is basically around one spirit.
Very stable.
The purchase price of a talisman shop is usually sixty or seventy pieces of spirit.
For an ordinary Talisman Master, the cost of drawing the Meteor Fire Talisman would be forty or fifty broken souls.
The square-faced shopkeeper offered high prices of ninety broken spirits and seventy broken spirits for the two stacks of meteor fire talismans, purely because the appearance of the talismans was outstanding enough, making him profitable.
The price of talismans of this level is extremely transparent, and he doesn't dare to lower the price randomly.
Otherwise, Wang Chen can completely find another company.
"I want a hundred blows..."
Wang Chen said: "Add the talisman paper and spiritual ink of Seventy Spirits."
Half of the two hundred talismans he took out were drawn when he was at the mastery level of talisman making.
The other half are junior level.
As for the master-level works, Wang Chen plans to keep them for his own use first, and then sell them when the quantity accumulated is large.
Although Wang Chen asked for ten more spirits.
But because some of the spiritual stones were paid for with talisman paper and spiritual ink, the square-faced shopkeeper agreed after thinking about it.
Both parties are very happy.
The square-faced shopkeeper obviously intended to establish a good cooperative relationship with Wang Chen, or the talisman maker behind Wang Chen, and even gave him a few more talisman papers.
Then he sent Wang Chen out respectfully.
Wang Chen was also very satisfied.
Until now, when he started to make basic talismans, the total cost he had spent on gaining experience was just over a hundred spirit stones.
This one basically paid off.
The key is that this skill has been mastered, and it doesn't take much time to break through to the master level.
The cost of making charms will decrease in the future.
If Wang Chen is willing.
He can make a lot of money by making spells.
But this is not Wang Chen's real pursuit after all.
…
When Wang Chen returned to his home.
Before they could enter, they suddenly saw a carriage parked in front of Lao Suntou's house.
There are people moving things in and out!
what happened?
Wang Chen thought for a while and decided to go over and take a look.
I saw the door of Lao Suntou's house open and several people standing in the yard.
There were adults and children there, making it quite lively.
But Wang Chen knows everyone!
"Who are you looking for?"
At this time, a middle-aged man spotted him, walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wang Chen saluted and said, "I am a neighbor who lives in the north. Is Uncle Sun here?"
He had only been away for two days.
Why is it that Old Suntou's family seems to have changed owners?
"You mean Lao Suntou."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "He has transferred all the spiritual field and house to me."
Wang Chen was surprised: "Then where did he go?"
"Are you Wang Chen?"
The middle-aged man did not answer his question directly, but took out a letter: "This is what Lao Suntou asked me to pass on to you, saying that you will understand after reading it."
"Thanks."
Wang Chen took the letter covered with fire paint and returned home full of doubts.
He even forgot to ask his new neighbor's name.
Sitting in the room, Wang Chen opened Lao Suntou's letter.
Lao Suntou told him in the letter that he, his wife and stepson had quit the Yunyang Sect and took the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce's spaceship to the mortal world, and would never come back again.
Return to secular life!
Wang Chen never expected that Lao Suntou would make such a choice.
He ran away to the mortal world!
Usually only mortals want to come to the immortal world to cultivate, and very few monks go to settle in the secular world.
Because the mortal world without aura is undoubtedly a desperate and bad place for monks!
If you have a lot of spiritual food and elixirs to support you, then the situation will be better, at least you can maintain your cultivation.
But you must use spells with caution to avoid excessive consumption.
But without these cultivation resources, the monk's level will quickly fall.
In the end, he became a mortal.
Life expectancy has also been greatly reduced.
And Lao Suntou is already quite old!
But in the letter, Lao Suntou also gave a detailed explanation.
He felt that the Yunyang Sect was becoming more and more harsh on the outer sect monks, and the burden on low-level spiritual cultivators like himself was getting heavier and heavier. He could no longer bear such oppression, and leaving was an inevitable choice.
In addition, his stepson has incomplete five elements and has no possibility of cultivating immortality.
This was one of the reasons that prompted Lao Suntou to leave.
However, what really made him make up his mind was something else.
Something related to Wang Chen!
Lao Suntou also expressed his gratitude and guilt to Wang Chen in the letter, saying that he had nothing to repay in this life and could only pay back by being a cow and a horse in the next life.
He also reminded Wang Chen that he knows people, faces but not hearts!
It can be seen that the old Mr. Lingzhi was quite excited when he wrote the letter, and his handwriting was quite sloppy.
After reading this letter, Wang Chen was silent for a long time.
Then he pressed his palms together to activate his magic power, instantly burning the letter to ashes!
