Chapter 143: Spirit Stone Prospects
Now, all the rune paper is harder, and in order to reduce the cost of crafting, it is made of less expensive materials.
As for how to make rune paper, this is Chen De's mastery. He found the ancient recipes of a few rune papers, as well as the recipes of some high-grade rune papers, and after referring to each other, he determined the recipe of his own rune paper.
After measuring the shaft size, he made adjustments to the paper mold.
After trying a few times, Chen De got a batch of rune papers that satisfied him.
Perhaps it was the overcoming of the biggest obstacle that brought fortune, and the subsequent steps of creating talisman arrows became smoother.
A few guide talismans were drawn on the specially made rune paper, and a dozen more than a dozen wind riding talismans were drawn. Then Chen De used spiritual glue to glue the guide talisman and the wind riding talisman to the arrow shaft one after another. Because the paper mold is made very precisely, the bond between the rune and the arrow shaft is seamless.
Chen De, who was happy in his heart, experimented with these arrows without arrows. After activating the Wind Ride, the arrow shaft flies in exactly the same direction, proving that the guide sigil has been successful.
However, a new problem has arisen, that is, the direction of the arrow's flight is not in a straight line of the arrow's shaft, but always piercing to the lower right.
Chen De, who had long been familiar with the guide runes, knew that this was a deviation in the direction of the guide runes. The rune needs to be adjusted to correct its guidance bias.
Because Chen De is the conception and creator of the guide rune, he has a complete grasp of every subtlety of the guide rune.
After Chen De made more than a dozen minor corrections to the guide rune, he finally obtained the rune that the direction of the guide was exactly the same as the straight direction of the arrow shaft.
When Chen De put the first successfully made talisman arrow on the bow and prepared to shoot it, his heart was full of anticipation.
Drawing the bow, aiming, inputting the aura, as soon as the right hand was released, the sharp sound of breaking the air immediately came into his ears, Chen De had never heard such a sound of breaking the air before, extremely sharp and indescribable.
After the rune arrow flew out, it was so fast that his eyes couldn't catch it, and Chen De estimated that the speed of the rune arrow was at least three times faster than that of ordinary arrows. That means the arrows are at least three times more powerful.
Chen De aimed at a rock twenty zhang away, almost just let go, he heard a "bang" sound from the rock, walked over to see, it turned out that only a little tail feather was still exposed, and most of the arrow shafts had been submerged into the rock.
Chen De was quite satisfied with this result, with such power, it is estimated that an arrow can shoot through the skin and skull of the white jade electric rhinoceros, submerge into its brain, and let it die with one arrow.
Chen De's original range was 120 zhang, and when he shot with a talisman arrow, the arrow could still penetrate deep into the trunk of the tree 500 zhang away.
Chen De, who was still unsatisfied, tried a few more rune arrows, and each rune arrow showed its powerful penetrating power. The Wind Riding technique increased the speed of the arrow by three or four times, and its speed was really lightning fast.
The creation of the rune arrow is basically completed so far.
Chen De felt a sense of happiness in his heart, and he was quite proud, and he was already looking forward to having a mountain of spirit stones.
The debt of 15,000 spirit stones will not be a problem at all if it is to be paid off.
When he had a large handful of spirit stones in his hand, Chen De was quite generous. He thought about it, this time so many Tongmenken generously donated money, borrowed so many spirit stones from him, and helped him, and he had to express his gratitude no matter what.
It is better to repay the spirit stone and give the creditor a percent of the spirit stone as the interest on the spirit stone.
When I borrowed the spirit stone at the beginning, most of my fellow disciples didn't mention such a thing, and they were quite kind. If you do this yourself, you can borrow a lot of spirit stones smoothly when you need to borrow a large amount of spirit stones to buy treasures in the future. As for the repayment of debts, Chen De has his own plans.
Chen De thought that he could successfully create the talisman arrow, and Elder Tianxuan's guidance played a great role, so he remembered the request he had made to him. I should go see the elders right away.
Chen De immediately made six talisman arrows in earnest, and then visited the elder.
Elder Tianxuan held the six talisman arrows, with an appreciative smile on his face, stroked his beard with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Little guy, yes! You really did it, but to Lao Dao's surprise, you created it so quickly." ”
Chen De replied: "The younger generation had an epiphany, and they had good luck when they deduced and tested the runes. ”
However, at this time, Elder Tianxuan looked at Chen De, with a smile on his face that showed that I understood, and he said, "Seeing that your body is much thinner than the last time you came, you must have made a lot of efforts to do so. Little one, you remember, hard work is the cornerstone of luck. You've done a good job this time. ”
He paused for a moment and further explained: "There has never been a shortage of people in the cultivation realm who have great luck, and some of them have been very successful in cultivating and seeking opportunities, and then unconsciously, they take their success for granted, forgetting the foundation of cultivating and doing things, and in the end, their achievements are limited, and even their own luck has finally become a wedding dress for others!"
Elder Tianxuan seemed to fall into a memory, and after a while, he said in a sighing tone, "There are quite a few such things in the cultivation realm!"
Chen De was taught by these words, and he was quite touched: This is the golden and jade words of the predecessors of the sect!
The two of them stood outside the cave at this time, looking at a cyan rock fifty zhang away, and Elder Tianxuan said, "Little guy, borrow your bow and arrow." ”
Chen De respectfully handed his topaz bow to the elder.
Holding the bow and arrow in his hand, Elder Tianxuan suddenly sighed in his heart, and he said, "The old man has not touched a bow and arrow for decades. I think that at the beginning, I was very fond of archery, and I was always proud of my archery skills. ”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and then, fifty zhang away, there was a "bang", and the sound of arrows entering the rock came.
Elder Tianxuan's spiritual sense was immediately reaped, and the depth of the arrow into the rock fifty zhang away from the bluestone was already clear, and his face showed joy.
The elder said to Chen De: "Okay, go in Lao Dao to discuss something with you." ”
After Elder Tianxuan sat down, he said to Chen De, "Little guy, how about you make a batch of talisman arrows in the future, and give me a part?"
Chen De was surprised: "Elder, are you kidding? With your cultivation, the talisman arrow is not even as good as your ribs." ”
Elder Tianxuan stroked his beard and said, "Little guy, you misunderstood. ”
Then he said, "I am ordering talismans for you on behalf of my little grandson." And, I want him to work with you for a long time. What do you think?"
After a pause, the elder said, "This is my second request." ”
Chen De was a little curious, and he asked, "Elder, is your grandson in the Tiantai Sect?"
A kind smile appeared on the corner of Elder Tianxuan's mouth, and he replied, "This grandson of mine is now cultivating in the Qixia Sect, and he is about the same age as you. He is quite talented in talismans and formations, and on weekdays, similar to you, he also makes talismans to sell by himself, hunts beasts outside the sect, and earns spirit stones in exchange for cultivation resources. ”
Oh, I see, Chen De sighed in his heart: Eh, this junior cultivator of the same age who has never met before, without his knowledge, his elders will match him and pave the way at every opportunity, I am really envious!
Thinking of himself, Chen De's heart was filled with a trace of sourness.
Thinking that he was now in the Elder's Cave Mansion, Chen De shook his head, put aside the sourness, and restored his calm.
Chen De, who returned to normal, immediately started to think about it.
Elder Tianxuan's eyes were spicy, he saw the prospect of the popularity of the rune arrow for the first time, and while instructing himself, he thought that the rune arrow was very suitable as a sale item for his grandson, so he had already greeted him before he created the rune arrow.
As far as he is concerned, he doesn't even know where the mountain gate of the Qixia Sect is, and now there is a patron of the Qixia Sect in front of him, and it is quite beneficial for him to cooperate with the other party.
Chen De thought again.
He was able to create the talisman arrow, and Elder Tianxuan gave him a lot of help, which was a huge favor, and he had to repay him no matter what.
Giving a large discount to the elders and grandchildren is the best way to repay.
However, if you want to make a talisman arrow, the materials you need to invest are very different from ordinary talismans. First of all, the arrows are made from the ribs of demon beasts. Secondly, there are at least two rune materials on it, and besides, the materials used to make these two rune paper cost more spirit stones than ordinary rune paper.
If there are too many discounts for the other party, and the spirit stones earned by his own talisman arrows from Qixia Sect are too few, then such a fixed customer is like chicken ribs.
So, how much is the right amount of this discount?
After Chen De deliberated there, he said to the elder: "Elder, your grandson buys talisman arrows from me, and I will give him a seven-percent discount, that is, a seven-percent discount on the price I sold in the Tiantai Sect. ”
Elder Tianxuan heard that Chen De was willing to give a seven-fold price, and he pondered for a moment, he thought: Fu arrows are sold in Qixia Sect, and the price can naturally be more expensive than in Tiantai Sect, about one to two percent more expensive, so that the seven-fold purchase price of Fu Arrows can get a very considerable profit from the spirit stones after being sold in Qixia Sect.
Thinking of this, Elder Tianxuan nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and said, "Seven folds, I think it's just right." However, little guy, I have to make a request for my little grandson, that is, your talisman arrows will only be sold to my grandson in Qixia Sect. ”
Chen De thought of a special situation, so he asked, "Elder, then, if someone from the Qixia Sect comes to my stall in Reed Flute Town to buy talisman arrows, wouldn't I be able to sell them to him?"
Elder Tianxuan smiled, "Little guy, it seems that you are not a veteran in buying and selling. I want my grandson to sell talismans and arrows in the Qixia Sect to make an exclusive business. Outside the Qixia Sect's sphere of influence, if someone from the Qixia Sect asks you to buy rune arrows, you can sell the rune arrows with him at the price you sell in the sect. ”
"I see, the younger generation understands. Chen De smiled embarrassedly, he is not very old now, and he has not done a big business, so he is indeed far from a business veteran.
