Chapter 19: Talisman Making Is Not Easy
"Grandpa, I've already practiced qi, can I go out to the Fang Market for a walk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qu Bimei learned the lesson of the last time, and decided to go to the Fang Market with the Great Elder first to inquire about the market, and then sell her talismans, so as not to be deceived and not known.
"Did you discuss them one by one?" The Great Elder laughed loudly: "Xiaolan has just left, and she also said that she has been impetuous, and in order to better break through to the third layer of Qi training, she begs me to take her to Fang Market to have a play." So tomorrow Grandpa will take the two of you along. ”
Qu Bimei was still a little emotional when she heard Qu Bilan's name, this little girl often came to play with her at the beginning. By the time she showed her cultivation to the outside world was the second level of Qi training, Qu Bilan was still the first level of Qi training, so she rarely played with her. Later, Qu Bilan finally broke through to the second layer, so she didn't die, and that day she changed the cultivation shown to the outside to the third layer on a whim, and then the two became more and more estranged.
Although Qu Bimei has a slight affection for Qu Bilan, she also knows that Qu Bilan's heart knot is about the cultivation speed is not as good as hers, but the cultivation speed is determined by the spiritual root, she can only hope that this little girl can figure it out by herself, if she can't figure it out, then she can only be more estranged.
The Great Elder also knew this, seeing that the two of them were becoming more and more estranged, there was nothing she could do, Qu Bilan was always careful and arrogant, and she always hoped that she would do her best, and the reason why she didn't want to play with Qu Bimei was because she didn't want to see a sister who was better than her every day.
But the spiritual root is innate, although her spiritual root is also a good water and wood dual spiritual root in the dual spiritual root, it just complements each other, and the cultivation speed is not slow. But compared to Qu Bimei's fire-type Heavenly Spirit Root, the cultivation speed is naturally far inferior, and the gap will only get bigger and bigger in the future, so the Great Elder knows Qu Bilan's temperament, and he will not force them to stick together as they did when they first met, but it is also good to have a chance to let them get along a little.
The next day, when Qu Bimei arrived in the courtyard of the Great Elder, she saw Qu Bilan coquettishly looking at the Great Elder, and when she saw her, she immediately turned into a little lady. She remembered that in the past, Qu Bilan was not pretending to be in front of her, she was only a lady in front of outsiders, and she didn't know when she became an outsider in Qu Bilan's eyes.
The Great Elder took two girls into the Fang Market, this time it was more casual than the one a year ago, this time Qu Bimei found that the shops in the Fang Market had very clear functions, the Golden Silk Building specializing in selling magic robes, the Rejuvenation Hall specializing in selling pills, the Lingbaoxuan specializing in selling magic weapons, the Qimen Pavilion specializing in selling array plates, etc., what she paid the most attention to was of course the shop that specialized in buying and selling talismans called Wanfu Zhai.
"Grandpa, let's go in and have a look." Qu Bimei said to the Great Elder.
"Did you spend ten spirit stones last time to make a talisman?" The Great Elder obviously also remembered the rags that Qu Bimei bought in the Fang City last time.
"Grandpa, don't laugh at me. I've been working hard to cultivate all year round, where is the time to draw talismans, I did try it when I first bought it, but my little spiritual power, I can only draw three talismans at a time, and I fail every time, I don't want to waste time not making it for a long time, and when my cultivation is high in the future, I must pick it up and practice it well. "Qu Bimei doesn't want to expose herself and can make talismans, so she has already discussed a set of rhetoric with Xiaomei." But grandpa, I'd love to see what the finished talisman looks like. ”
"Let's go. It just so happens that I have something to look for the shopkeeper here. The Great Elder had no doubts about Qu Bimei's words, after all, her cultivation speed was fast enough, and it was impossible for her to have time to be distracted from miscellaneous studies.
Entering Wanfu Zhai really opened Qu Bimei's eyes, there are all kinds of strange talismans, but this time her purpose is to understand the price of various talismans. The first-order spirit rune is not particularly cheap, half a spirit stone, and the value of the spirit rune for attack, support, and defense is about the same; At the beginning of the second order, the price is much more expensive, and the offensive talisman requires a half-spirit stone, and the defensive talisman is more expensive than half a spirit stone; When it reaches the third order, it is even more expensive, and as for the fourth order, the talisman will no longer be placed on the counter.
"Grandpa, talisman making is quite profitable." Qu Bimei calculated the price and cost of the runes, two spirit stones of first-order rune paper can buy a thousand pieces, and the consumption of rune ink and rune pens only needs three or four spirit stones to make five hundred runes, but if you sell them, you can have two hundred spirit stones, which is simply a huge profit.
"Xiaomei, it's not right for you to think like this." Great Elder Zhengse said to her, "You have also made talismans, for people in the early stage of Qi cultivation, they can only make a few rune papers at a time, and it takes a lot of time and energy to make talismans. ”
"Talisman making is a profession that pays attention to talent, maybe talented people only need to make a dozen for beginners to succeed, for people who do not have the talent for talisman making, it is not uncommon to fail hundreds of times, that is to say, continuous talisman may not be successful once a month."
"And to make talismans, only after successfully making hundreds of the same kind of talismans, the success rate will increase, and the proficiency of each new talisman needs to be retrained, although the more talismans will be made for the success rate of new talismans, but it still takes a lot of practice."
"For most people who don't have a talent for talismans, it takes a lot of time and materials to not necessarily succeed, so it's better to go out and practice to get spirit stones and buy them directly. Even for someone with a talent for talismans, it is not necessarily possible to become a talisman maker without enough patience and perseverance. ”
"It's so hard to make talismans." After listening to this, Qu Bimei felt that she was still quite talented in making talismans, but she obviously ignored her countless exercises in the light brain space.
"Grandpa, since it is so difficult to make talismans, where did these low-level talismans come from?" Qu Bilan also asked with some curiosity when she heard this.
"Some of these low-level talismans are made by casual cultivation, it is not easy to survive in casual cultivation, and the foundation is also large, there are always some people who are talented in talisman making, but even so, they usually only make one kind of talisman, and improve their success rate by constantly making the same kind of talisman, so as to obtain spirit stones for their own cultivation."
"There are also some that are provided by the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and the sect will train its own talisman makers, and the low-level talismans made by the talisman makers when they practice will be taken out and sold. Okay, let's not talk about that, now I have something to find the shopkeeper here, you can wander around the store and don't wander around. ”
At this time, a fair-skinned maid who was in the middle of Xiuwai Hui walked over and said softly to the Great Elder: "Elder Qu, our shopkeeper is waiting for you in the inner room. Don't worry, we'll take care of the two little fairies. ”
