Chapter 68: Adaptation
The old man's figure moved slightly, and he looked up in the direction where the voice came from, and it was the female cultivator standing in front of his stall.
He shook his head at this time, as if he was ashamed that he only cared about chatting and slacking off this guest, and the old man hurriedly got up and replied politely: "This senior sister, what you are looking for is the talisman paper cinnabar?"
Su Yuanwan nodded, "Exactly!"
As we all know, talisman paper and cinnabar are essential supplies for making talismans, but after all, talisman making will consume a lot of energy and mind of monks, and novices often waste a lot of money and time to learn the art of talisman making.
Therefore, although the talisman is very powerful, ordinary monks do not make it themselves, and most of them are just looking for opportunities to buy them.
This kind of thankless partial cultivation material is not common in a small-scale market like the Phantom Moon Outer Gate. At least in the eyes of this seller, it is not easy to sell in the outer market.
At this time, he saw that someone asked him, and it was still a female cultivator who looked extremely young, which had to make the old man look at it a few more times.
He looked Su Yuan up and down with small eyes, and at a glance, he poked out Su Yuan's cultivation, his body was slightly stunned, and then he didn't dare to take a step forward and said:
"Senior sister has such cultivation at a young age, and she is clumsy. After a pause, the old man continued: "There is a little rune paper for sale below, please wait for a while." ”
"There is Senior Brother Lao."
The old man didn't answer, and the cat's waist turned around in the corner for a while. In just a moment, he took out a small pile of talisman paper from under a stack of worn-out books. He handed over the rune paper with both hands and said, "Senior sister, look!"
Su Yuan took it and took a general look, there were only about forty or fifty pieces, and talisman making was something that needed to be explored to make progress from it, and such a pile of talisman paper was not much. immediately asked: "Yes, this is this thing, dare to ask senior brother, is there still cinnabar for sale here?"
"Cinnabar. The old man repeated, thought for a while, and fumbled in a cloth bag behind him. After rummaging for a long time, he took out a jade box the size of a fist. "This junior sister, do you think this means?" said him, and handed the jade box to Su Yuan.
After taking it, Su Yuan opened it and looked at it, although the cinnabar in this box was not fake, but the number was not much, only half a small box.
"This ...... This cinnabar is a little too little. She frowned.
The old man saw that Su Yuan was confused, coughed a few times, smiled, and said, "It's not that this junior sister is really satisfied, it's not that the little old man is boasting." He paused, looked at Su Yuan again, and then continued slowly: "It's not that the little old man is boasting, even if the junior sister travels all over the Outer Gate Market, she may not be able to exchange for much rune paper cinnabar." ”
"Oh, why is that?" asked Su Yuan.
The old man paused and explained: "This junior sister has the heart to learn the art of talisman making, and I really admire it. And this place is only a spontaneously formed scattered small square city, in which the disciples dare to be interested in talisman making, but there are very few who can devote themselves to research. ”
"After all, if you keep an illusory heaven and focus on the major advancement, you can get into a formal disciple, and besides, even if there are middle and high-level monks like Senior Sister who want to make talismans, there will naturally be a monk shop outside the door, and you can just go out of the mountain and change it by the way, and you won't waste energy looking for it in this small place at all. ”
It was not unreasonable for the old man to say this, Su Yuan's eyes fell on the small pile of talisman paper and said, "Senior brother, don't you have this thing for sale?"
Hearing her ask, the old man waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Senior sister doesn't know anything! These rune paper cinnabar was purchased two years ago, and I haven't sold a single one for two years, so I am fortunate to have met my junior sister!"
"Oh?" she looked at the old man opposite, but saw that the other party had a natural expression and did not look deceitful at all.
Feeling Su Yuan's gaze in his eyes, the old man was a child, and then he straightened his chest and swore an oath: "Senior sister, you can go to other places in Fang City to inquire, what the little old man said is not false." ”
"That's it!" Su Yuan had already guessed in her heart earlier, according to her previous plan, as long as she searched carefully, it should not be difficult to find this huge market, but it would take some energy.
But if it is really as the old man in front of him said, there is nowhere to find the things he needs, and this bit of talisman paper cinnabar is not enough at all. If she wants to learn the art of talisman making, I'm afraid it's even harder.
Seeing that Su Yuan's face was gloomy, the old man didn't speak for a long time, then coughed lightly and said slowly: "What about these things?" He pointed to the talisman paper in Su Yuan's hand.
"It's not a lot of it, but it's barely usable, so I'll trade it for you. ”
Seeing that the business was successful, the old man laughed, and wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face. After the two negotiated the price, Su Yuan exchanged a storage bag for spirit grass at an equivalent price.
Seeing that there was nothing left here, Su Yuan was about to get up and leave, but when the old man saw this, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "This junior sister." Can you listen to the little old man again?"
"Oh, senior brother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Seeing that the old man was so polite to herself, she stopped.
Only then did the old man slow down his tense body, and said in a low voice: "This junior sister, but she is very interested in the art of talisman making and wants to learn to draw talismans?"
Su Yuan nodded, since he was going to buy talisman making equipment, naturally there was no need to hide this: "Not bad!"
When the old man heard this, his little eyes turned a few times, and then he smiled and said, "Senior sister is not only a profound cultivator, but also has lofty aspirations, which really makes the little old man ashamed." Since I want to learn the art of talisman making, this material must be added and purchased, but there is a way to do it, but I don't know what the senior sister wants?"
Su Yuan's heart moved, she stroked the long hair around her ears with both hands, but her face did not change, and she said slowly: "Oh?
Seeing that she didn't refuse, the old man immediately took back his heart, and said in a soothing voice: "If the senior sister really wants to find the talisman paper cinnabar, I can help with it, but I need the junior sister to book in advance." ”
"Book in advance?"
The old man's expression moved, and he said: "Yes, little old man sees that you are not a vicious and treacherous person, and there are not many things I can sell at the moment, I am afraid that it is not enough to use at all." If the junior sister still needs it, just wait for the next time to go back to collect and prepare, and when the next time the market opens, the junior sister will come here again to change it. ”
Su Yuan pondered for a while, and was about to say something more, "Senior sister, you can rest assured, although Xiao Lao'er has a small business, but with my junior sister's advanced cultivation, I definitely don't dare to deceive and deceive." ”
As soon as these words came out, he couldn't help but be surprised by the delicate mind of the old man in front of him, and the doubts in Su Yuan's heart were just a flash before he could say anything, and he was easily pulled out by the other party in a few words.
However, the other party's method can really help him, and Su Yuan suddenly thought of Yan Tianhua again.
That man is also a small and small trader, and in terms of seizing business opportunities, he is the same as the old man in front of him, and he does not let go of any trading opportunities, is this the shrewdness of a businessman?
