252. The Law of Safety
After finishing his happiness, the young man suddenly thought of a strict question, he looked at Lingyu and asked hesitantly: "Senior, how much do you need for this...... Spirit stones? β
"How much spirit stone does Little Daoist think is it worth?" Lingyu looked at him with interest. It was the first time she had done this kind of business, and she didn't know what price to set.
The youth was entangled. Of course, it is not as valuable as buying a new copy of the exercises, but the problem is that this kind of risk-taking exercises is not a big road item sold in bookstores. Even if it is the most common foundation building period exercise, it will cost nearly a thousand spirit stones!
After thinking for a while, he took out his spirit stone bag and poured it all out: "Seniors, juniors only have these, look ......"
Lingyu glanced at it, not much, only a hundred spirit stones, for a Qi refining and scattered cultivation, it is probably all the net worth. She smiled and said, "It's just opened today, so it's time to make a good match." β
The young man was overjoyed: "Thank you, seniors. He put away the ancient books and jade slips, and hesitated before leaving, "That, senior, can the junior make a request?" β
"You say."
"Uh, seniors won't leak this exercise, right?" The value of the exercises lies in the fact that they cannot be passed on. This exercise has been completed, and he can sell it to a bookstore, at least a thousand spirit stones, but if it has been leaked......
"Naturally not."
"That's good." The young man walked away with peace of mind.
With the first business, there is the second. There were people watching just now, and when they saw that the young man was satisfied and left, someone also sat down: "This senior, the junior also has an ancient book here, can you take a look?" β
Lingyu nodded with a smile.
Taking the ancient book handed over by this person, she looked through it for a while and said, "This ancient book is a Taoist scripture, not a practice, in terms of cultivation. It may not be of much help. There is no problem in making up for it, but you can see for yourself whether you need it or not. β
The man hesitated and asked, "I don't know how many spirit stones are needed to repair this Dao Sutra?" β
Lingyu said: "Repairing the Dao Sutra, although it is not as troublesome as repairing the exercises, however, the scriptures in it also need to be carefully scrutinized, even if it is a hundred spirit stones." β
A hundred spirit stones are indeed a bit expensive. The man hesitated for a moment and apologized. Leave with the ancient books.
Although the business was not completed, it finally gathered popularity, and soon a third person sat down.
It was getting late, and Lingyu returned to the cave house and counted today's harvest. I found that I had earned a thousand spirit stones!
A thousand spirit stones, there is no special foundation building and scattered cultivation. It often takes a month to earn a thousand spirit stones. Even if she is skilled in talisman making, it will take ten days and half a month to earn it back. It's good business! Moreover, the only people who came to the door today were Qi refining cultivators, and in the future, there were foundation building monks who used the exercises to repair them, and they would only earn more.
However, in this way, there are new problems. Such a way to earn money is only afraid that it will attract the attention of others. Earning tens of thousands of spirit stones a month, there are not many shops that can reach this amount!
I said, "No. Do you think, if I keep setting up a stall like this, will I be targeted by people in the future, killing people and taking money? β
"......" was silent for a long time, and he did ignore the problem. Although his voice is a child, after all, he is an old monster who has lived for an unknown number of thousands of years, so he didn't even think of this, and the reason why he forgot it was only because his master was a Mahayana Yuanjun, a figure who stood at the peak of the human world. Will anyone go and rob the Mahayana Yuanjun? Yes, there are, but there are no more than 100 people who dare to do it -- there are only more than 100 Mahayana monks in the entire human world.
"Hey, say something!"
"Ahem!" Without saying a word, he coughed lightly and said in a delicate voice, "I have a mention." β
"Huh?"
"I change places every day, and I change my outfit every time. Well, there is a kind of transfiguration technique that even if it is a Monk of the Jiedan, you will not be able to recognize it, unless you bump into the Yuanying Monk in person. β
"......" Lingyu rolled her eyes, "Even if I change my costume every time, it's strange to see different people setting up stalls to repair the exercises every day, okay?" What a broken idea......"
Lingyu felt very sad, it was very difficult to hide wealth, he didn't have enough strength, and he didn't even dare to make too much money.
"Uh......" is speechless. No matter how old the monster was, as a machine spirit, he never had to worry about this kind of problem.
Lingyu could only meditate on herself. This job can't be done for the time being, today she only earns the money of a Qi refining cultivator, others are at most strange, how can she finish repairing the exercises in such a short period of time without pursuing too much. You must know that repairing the exercises is a very energy-consuming thing, not to mention those top-level exercises, only the Yuanying Monk dares to start it. Ordinary exercises are not something that any monk of the same rank dares to repair.
Let's put it this way, today it will be replaced by another foundation building monk, and the one of them who has a solid foundation can also start repairing, but even if it is just one of them, it will take a month, otherwise, this business will not wait for her to do it.
She was so excited that she forgot about it, and now the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was sloppy. Needless to say, it's just a machine spirit, even if she can't think of it, she should have thought of it earlier.
However, it's not too late, it's just a day, others won't pay too much attention to her, so let's hurry up and find a way to solve it, otherwise, she won't dare to make money.
First of all, if she wants to engage in this job normally, she must not show up, and once she does, she will inevitably be targeted by others. However, if you don't show up, where will you get business? Have someone send it to Dongfu? What's the difference between that and showing up? Anyone else can touch it too.
Or, find a surrogate? That way, you don't have to give away your own information!
Lingyu's eyes lit up: "By the way, go find Cen Ruyi!" β
In Huiling Lake, she doesn't know many people, and the one she is familiar with is Cen Ruyi, which is one of them. Cen Ruyi has no power behind her, and she is not afraid of what she thinks, this is the second. Cen Ruyi is very short of money, she has spent a lot of money over the years in order to prolong her mother's life, plus she is getting older, and she is still in the early stage of foundation building, so she has long been anxious, this is the third.
After analyzing it like this, Lingyu felt that there was a lot to be done, so she thought about the rhetoric and went to Cen Ruyi's shop.
In the small shop, Cen Ruyi was still entertaining guests in person, and when she came to the door, she was very surprised: "Sister Cheng, what wind blew you here?" It's only been a few days, so you won't send spirit talismans to sell again, will you? β
Lingyu waved her hand: "It's so fast, it's just that there is a business to talk to you." β
Hear her say so. Cen Ruyi immediately invited her into the elegant seat, personally served tea, and said with a smile: "Sister Cheng came to me last time to discuss business, and let me earn a few hundred spirit stones a month, I don't know what kind of good business it is this time?" β
Lingyu looked around and cast a soundproof barrier.
So cautious, Cen Ruyi couldn't help but put away his smile: "What, big-handedness?" β
"Sort of." Lingyu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Recently. I met a senior, and it was this senior who entrusted me to do something, and I thought about it, but I still found you to be suitable. β
"Oh?" Cen Ruyi's face straightened, faintly excited. If she could befriend a monk, whether it was for herself. Or on her shop pΓΉ. It's all good things.
"For some reasons, this senior is in urgent need of spirit stones, but it is inconvenient to go out, so he wants to make some money with his craft and needs an agent."
"What is it?" Cen Ruyi grabbed her hand excitedly, "Isn't this senior an alchemist?" Or an alchemist? β
Some specialized alchemists and refiners don't want to take care of mundane affairs. It's not uncommon to find a shop to work with. Lingyu is also counted, make a talisman, and entrust Cen Ruyi to sell it. Sell it and take a commission. Many small shops, without exclusive alchemists, refiners, or talisman makers, will sign contracts with these monks and do agency business.
Cen Ruyi also does this kind of agency business, except for Lingyu, she has dealings with several alchemists, but those people are all foundation building and cultivating like her. If she can catch up with a master in the Dan period, it will be too rare, and it will definitely make her business in the store go to a higher level!
Lingyu smiled and waved his hand: "Neither an alchemist nor a refiner, but it's not the same." The skill of this senior is the repair exercise. β
"Tinkering exercises?" Cen Ruyi was stunned for a moment. In fact, there are some shops that will take on this kind of business, but most of them are bookstores that have been in business for a long time, and it has never been a big deal to repair the exercises to earn spirit stones. You know, the person who repairs it will not practice this exercise, and who knows if the repaired exercise is good or bad? What if you get it wrong?
Lingyu looked at her expression and knew what she was thinking, and said, "It is still an ancient book with lost words. This senior is very knowledgeable, and I have only seen it in my life. I've seen him repair the exercises with my own eyes, and the Qi refining period is almost immediately healed, and the foundation building period is only half an hour. β
Hearing her say this, Cen Ruyi smiled again: "If this is the case, this business will also be done." It's just that repairing the exercises is not so simple, what if the guests are not satisfied with the repaired exercises? Or, to put it offensively, what if something goes wrong with the guest's cultivation? β
Lingyu said: "Don't worry, if something goes wrong, this senior will be responsible." β
"This ......" Cen Ruyi still hesitated. She has no backer behind her, and the small shop can't stand the toss, if someone smashes it......
Lingyu said: "Of course, if you really don't dare to take risks, I won't force you, so I can only find others to cooperate." β
"Sister Cheng, wait a minute." Thinking that he urgently needed the elixir to advance to the rank, Cen Ruyi called her, hesitated for a moment, and stepped forward and asked, "Do you calculate, how many exercises can this senior repair in a day?" How much money do you make? β
Lingyu did not hesitate: "Qi refining and building the foundation, I already said it just now, you can count it." You can also take it, is the price ......" she smiled, "You're a merchant, you don't need me to set a price for you, right?" β
"It's okay to get a knot?" Cen Ruyi's eyes lit up, and he immediately calculated, "For the exercises of the Dan period, the bookstore must at least have ten thousand spirit stones, if it can be repaired, how can it be completed?" If it is damaged more strictly......" She gasped and looked up and asked, "How long will it take for this senior to repair the exercises of the Dan period?" β
"Three days!" Lingyu said without hesitation.
"Three days!" Cen Ruyi almost screamed, and immediately slapped the table, "Okay, I'll do it!" Even if something really happens and the store is smashed, then I'm unlucky! β
Lingyu let out a sigh of relief in her heart and smiled. She knew that with enough benefits, she was afraid that others would not be tempted? (To be continued......)
PS: The third update, finally made up. Well, all the drafts are sent now, and I guess there are a lot of typos or something, so let me revise it slowly.
