Every time Xia Yuan went to Ping'an Town, he disguised himself as a fourth-layer cultivation to avoid attracting attention, and this level of cultivation matched his age.

Xia Yuan arrived in Ping'an Town and went straight to East Street.

East Street is a commercial street that buys and sells cultivation items, and Xia Yuan went to the largest Shunyi Pavilion first.

Xia Yuan, as the old customer of Shunyi Pavilion, went up to the second floor and walked into the reception room on the second floor. After a while, the shopkeeper He who got the news hurriedly came.

"Xiao Xia, you haven't been here for a long time. Shopkeeper He beckoned to Xia Yuan while motioning for tea.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "I have had something to do recently, and I just finished being busy." ”

Shopkeeper He sat down and said, "Xiao Xia, the quality of your talisman is significantly higher than that of others, and the talisman you sent will be sold out quickly." You haven't been here lately, and many of your customers are asking when you will have your talisman. ”

Xia Yuan took the tea offered by the guy, took a sip, and then said: "I brought three hundred pieces today, all of them are second-order talismans, you can check them." ”

Shopkeeper He has a five-layer cultivation of quenching the body, he quickly checked Xia Yuan took out the talisman, and after a while, he finished the inspection, and he was very satisfied, "Three hundred pieces are no problem, according to the old rules, two thousand four hundred spirit stones." ”

After delivering the spirit stone, buying some materials in Shunyi Pavilion, and chatting with Shopkeeper He about the market of some high-grade pills, Xia Yuan said goodbye and left.

Walking around East Street until noon, Xia Yuan walked towards the Xia Family Fu Paper Workshop, he wanted to get together with Xia Ming at noon.

In the past few years, Xia Yuan and Xia Ming have gradually become friends, and Xia Yuan will get together every time he comes to Ping'an Town.

Xiajia Rune Paper Workshop is located on the side of the Xiliu River, here is a group of workshops, many workshops gather here, all of them produce some basic primary products, such as rune pens, spirit ink, rune paper, array weapons and so on.

Ping'an Town can receive raw materials on the spot, the labor is not high, and the transportation is also developed, so there is a group of workshops that are rare in other places.

came to the Xia family's rune paper workshop to find Xia Ming, and the two found a restaurant in the town to drink.

Seeing that Xia Ming's interest was not high, Xia Yuan asked, "What's the matter, something hasn't gone well recently." As he spoke, he raised his glass and motioned for Xia Ming to toast.

Xia Ming raised his glass and took a sip of dryness, his face was full of sadness, "Recently, the rune paper has not been selling well, it is more than one percent less than in previous years, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sit firmly in this position." ”

Last year, the old steward of Fu Paper Workshop said goodbye, and Xia Ming's family was active in the clan, and finally Xia Ming, who was still young, successfully became the new director of Fu Paper Workshop, but he was also criticized by many people.

It's okay that it's going well, but once something goes wrong like this, there will definitely be a lot of people who will question it and even someone who will fall into the ground.

Xia Yuan took a bite of food and said to Xia Ming: "It's more than one layer less than last year?

Xia Ming shook his head, "It's not that someone is making trouble, we have several rune paper makers here, and it is estimated that a new rune paper workshop has been opened somewhere, and the total sales of rune paper have been shared." ”

Refilling the cups of the two of them with wine, Xia Yuan comforted Xia Ming, "Make it clear to the above, it's not your fault after all." ”

Xia Ming said listlessly: "It's easy to say that no one is staring at this, but now someone is staring, they just want an excuse, this time I am unlucky." ”

Xia Yuan nodded, this is indeed the case. He thought for a moment, raised his glass to Xia Ming, and said, "Come, have another drink, I'll help you find a way." ”

Xia Ming raised his glass and said to Xia Yuan: "Just drink with me, don't worry about the rest." ”

Putting down the wine glass, Xia Yuan said with a serious face: "I really have a way, this time to ensure that you pass the test, maybe you can go further." ”

Seeing that Xia Yuan was serious, Xia Ming couldn't help but cheer up and sit up straight, "Tell me, what else can I do in this situation?"

Xia Yuan smiled slightly, took out a talisman and threw it in front of Xia Ming, "Look at this talisman." ”

Picking up the talisman suspiciously, Xia Ming looked at it carefully, his face changed, and he said to Xia Yuan in disbelief: "This is a third-order talisman?"

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

The cultivation world here is very backward, and the rune paper can only carry second-order spells at most, and spells above the third order can only be carried by jade that makes formations. The cost of using jade runes is high, and there are subtle differences between drawing jade rune boards and drawing rune paper, and the success rate of drawing jade rune boards will be much lower if you are used to drawing rune paper runes.

The third-order talisman that Xia Yuan took out was painted on the rune paper, and this rune paper was made by himself according to the inheritance memory. There is a fifth-order rune paper in the inheritance memory, of course he will not take out the fifth-order rune paper to scare people, the third-order rune paper is enough to solve Xia Ming's problem.

Looking at Xia Ming, who looked down and looked at the rune paper carefully with an excited face, Xia Yuan took a sip of wine and explained: "The material used in this rune paper probably needs a low-level spirit stone, which can carry all the third-order spells. Now the jade rune plate needs five spirit stones, and the third-order rune paper is used to draw the runes, and the success rate of drawing runes is much higher than that of the jade rune board, and it is definitely easy to sell the five spirit stones. ”

Xia Ming calmed down at this time and waved his hand to stop Xia Yuan, "Wait, go to my workshop and talk about it in detail." Then he quickly settled the account, and anxiously dragged Xia Yuan to the Xia family's rune paper workshop.

In the council hall of the workshop manager, Xia Ming listened to Xia Yuan's comprehensive introduction, and walked around the room excitedly, he knew that this was a good opportunity. He froze down, stopped and asked Xia Yuan, "Can the person who gave you the third-order talisman trade the recipe for this talisman paper?"

Xia Yuan laughed, "You don't care about this, I'll give you the formula later." To tell you honestly, I worshipped a master, and this talisman paper was the handwriting of my master and his old man. You take it directly, my master doesn't like these gadgets. You told the clan that you made it yourself, don't pull out my master, he is afraid of trouble. ”

Xia Ming was stunned and said, "How good is this, how can you take advantage of your master in vain." ”

Xia Yuan shrugged indifferently, "My master doesn't care about this, you have to think about how to produce on a large scale, solve the production problem and then report it to the family, after this time, you will probably be transferred back to Guning City." ”

"Transferred back to Guning City?

"The family will definitely send the masters of the clan to sit here, do you want to let you, a meritorious man, be demoted here as a deputy? Obviously, the clan will not do this, and the only way to do this is to transfer you back to Guning City. ”

Xia Ming nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense, you want to send a master to take charge, I don't know if our Xia family can keep this formula." ”

Looking at Xia Ming, who was a little worried, Xia Yuan patted him on the shoulder, "You are too worried, the big family of rune paper has always looked down on him." What's more, as soon as the third-order rune paper is launched, other peers have sample analysis, and it is estimated that they will do it after a while, so why bother thinking about seeking a formula. You can mention this to the clan and be prepared. ”

Xia Ming felt a little disappointed, "It turns out that I can't do exclusive sales, I still think that our Xia family will develop into a big family." ”

Xia Yuan shook his head and smiled: "How can there be such a simple thing, if there is really some great secret recipe, for the weak Xia family, I really don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing." ”

Xia Yuan wrote down the recipe and handed it to Xia Ming, who hurriedly put it away.

After the big thing was done, Xia Ming's mind relaxed, looked at Xia Yuan and asked curiously: "You are apprenticed now, tell me about your master, do I know him? Is it famous? How many layers of your master has been cultivated to the eighth layer?"

Seeing that Xia Ming, who had relaxed and had regained his chatty nature, Xia Yuan felt a slight headache, "I don't know my master, he lives in seclusion and leaves the mountains, if you want to say that his cultivation is of course invincible in the world, what Juyuan and Liding are far worse than my master." ”

Looking at Xia Ming, who was about to speak with a look of disbelief, Xia Yuan hurriedly said, "Okay, you slowly figure out the formula, I'll go back." ”

Bidding farewell to Xia Ming, who thanked him repeatedly, Xia Yuan returned to the Grange.

Xia Ming got the formula, pondered for a while, and worked out the process of large-scale production. In private, I successfully tried a batch by myself, and then I went to Guning City to report to the family.

The high-level members of the family were very surprised to learn that Xia Ming had developed a third-order rune paper, after all, Xia Ming had only been in the industry for a few years, and no one believed that he had this ability. However, after repeated tests on the samples brought by Xia Ming, I have to admit that this is true.

After confirming the performance of the third-order rune paper, the family leaders were very excited. They didn't need Xia Ming to prompt them, and they knew that the uniqueness of this formula would not last long. After all, this is a simple thing, it is not difficult to analyze the material with a sample, and it will not take long to combine it patiently with a little more time.

However, what the family executives see is the reputation brought by it, in the industry, in the hearts of customers, the technical ability of the Xia family will be widely respected and recognized, which is the long-term benefit of the Xia family.

So the high-level of the family quickly made a series of arrangements, arranging an elder of the eighth layer of quenching to sit in Ping'an Town, two masters of the sixth layer of quenching to take over as the chief and deputy steward of the Fu Paper Workshop, and also transferred six young disciples of the third and fourth layers of quenching to assist.

Xia Ming was unsurprisingly transferred back to Guning City and promoted to deputy deacon, which is the most top-notch among the younger generation.

The high-level leaders of the Xia family decided that the third-order rune paper would only sell three low-grade spirit stones, and if five low-level spirit stones were sold like the jade rune board, the impact on the market would be much worse. Anyway, even if the high price of selling five pieces will not last long, and there will soon be imitations by others, so it is better to sell three spirit stones at a fair price at the beginning.

The Xia family's third-order rune paper caused a sensation as soon as it was launched, and the price was much lower than that of the traditional jade rune plate, but it had a higher success rate, which made the Xia family's third-order rune paper be robbed like crazy, and the first batch of rune paper was quickly sold out. The rune paper workshop runs around the clock, and it can't meet the demand.

The reputation of the Xia family also slowly spread with the hot sales, and the cultivators gradually learned that there was a Xia family in Guning City, and it had a strong strength in manufacturing basic supplies.

Xia Ming continued to stay in Ping'an Town for a while, helping the new steward get acquainted with the management of the workshop. When everything was on track, he set off to return to Guning City.

When Xia Ming left Ping'an Town, of course, he had a reunion with Xia Yuan again, Guning City was one hundred and seventy miles away from Ping'an Town, and it would be inconvenient for the two of them to get together again in the future.

During the banquet, Xia Ming asked Xia Yuan, "Are you willing to stay in the Grange?" I will tell the truth with the clan, and you will definitely be transferred back to Guning City." ”

Xia Yuan smiled: "I really don't need to, don't think that I am suffering in the Grange, I am learning things from my master there." You see that my master casually missed something, and he achieved the current situation of the Xia family, and I have learned more, you should envy me. ”

Xia Ming raised his glass and smiled: "Yes, I should envy you for having a good master, come, cheers." ”
