Chapter 12 Return Visit
Meng Zhou pinned his hopes on this hundred rune paper runes and ink, and his current understanding of talisman making was still at the stage of eight tricks and seven tricks.
At this moment, Meng Zhou's heart was crackling and dialing a business scripture.
One hundred pieces of rune paper and rune ink are all general runes for basic runes, and a total of 2.5 medium-grade spirit stones are consumed, that is, the average price is 2.5 low-grade spirit stones per copy.
The reason why the basic talisman is called the foundation is that in addition to the lower difficulty in making, it is also because its price has long been very stable and very transparent, and any slight rise and fall will be quickly balanced by all parties involved.
For example, if the price of a certain basic talisman is significantly higher than that of other basic talismans, and the cost price of the talisman is the same material, the talisman maker will naturally choose to make more of this talisman to seek higher profits, so the supply increases, and the price of this talisman falls.
In the same way, if a certain basic talisman is lower and lower in price due to its low application scenario, the talisman maker will naturally choose to produce less or even no talisman, so the supply decreases and the price of this talisman increases.
This is only the choice of the talisman maker, in fact, as long as all the stakeholders in the chain, such as the supplier of talismans, the parties to the transaction of the finished talisman, will always be in a similar game process.
The result is that there is always an undercurrent under the surface of the water, but the surface of the water is always calm.
In Zhou Qiang's memory, from his first arrival to the present twenty years, the price of the basic talisman has been stable at five lower grade spirit stones per piece for a long time.
This price will not change significantly for the foreseeable future.
Between this in and out, it seems that there is a double profit, but there is also a very important variable missing here, that is, the success rate of the symbol.
If you are out of the success rate, any evaluation of the talisman maker is a hooligan.
Because as long as he is willing to put in the effort, no matter how bad the level is, the talisman maker can make excellent or even perfect talismans, as long as he makes enough of them.
Therefore, the [entry] evaluation of the talisman maker is very simple, and the success rate of talisman making is not less than fifty percent.
This shows that at least it can not lose money, and can barely achieve a positive cycle, instead of blindly investing in, and has sufficient internal motivation to promote its progress.
It's an amateur-to-professional transition.
After the entry, there is [Initial Success], and the success rate of talisman making reaches seventy percent.
Consuming a hundred runes can become seventy, and one entry and one exit can just earn a hundred spirit stones, and finally you can use this to establish a dignified career, and at this point, the talisman maker has become a [talisman maker].
Therefore, for Meng Zhou, if he wanted to keep offering Gu Dan, he had to make sure that he became a real talisman master within at least two months.
And there is an even bigger restriction here, that is, he only has one hundred basic runes as "starting capital".
He had to make sure that he could get started before the runes were exhausted, making sure he broke even and achieving a positive cycle.
After thoroughly clarifying the matter in his heart, Meng Zhou gradually calmed down in his heart and had a more specific plan.
"Within this month, I will keep my original plan unchanged and work hard to practice, regardless of anything else.
Try your hand at making talismans, and we'll talk about it next month! ”
There are many factors that affect the success rate of talisman making, the most important of which is the continuous and stable supply of mana during the talisman period.
To put it in layman's terms, this actually means "the higher the cultivation, the better".
And he is now in the bonus period brought by "rebuilding", and there will be obvious progress every day.
Now the amount of Lingmi Ling tea has been added, and the progress can be faster without considering the cost performance.
It is clear how to choose the best choice in this situation.
From this day on, Meng Zhou entered a new round of retreat.
Because there is a two-month time limit, his mentality is obviously much more solemn.
On the first day after breaking through the second layer of Qi training, Meng Zhou still practiced in the original way.
The two meals of spiritual rice porridge in the morning and evening have changed from the original daily increase of cultivation progress +4 to +2, and each meal of spiritual rice porridge can only provide +1 progress, and the effect is immediate.
It wasn't until Meng Zhou turned the Lingmi porridge into Lingmi dry rice that he returned to the level of +2 per meal again.
As for the consequences, of course, the consumption of Lingmi is doubled.
The cultivation progress brought about by the operation of the Dead Wood Changchun Gong cultivation has also decreased, but the decline is not as obvious as that of Lingmi.
Originally, the progress of one round of cultivation was +2, and the progress of two rounds of day and night was +4, but now the progress of one round of cultivation is +1.5, and the progress of two rounds is +3, and the daily increase has been reduced from the previous +8 to +7.
The proficiency of the exercises has not changed, and it can stabilize +1 with each round of cultivation.
If there is no two-month time limit, Meng Zhou is already very satisfied with this progress, and will not blindly pursue high progress and ignore cost performance.
Because the current high progress was originally made by relying on spirit stones.
But now, he wants to come as fast as he wants, and as for cost performance, this is not what he needs to consider now.
So, after some trying, Meng Zhou found the current extreme operation mode.
Under the condition of ensuring the sustainability of the physical and mental state, all the "water" in the time is squeezed out, and there is no leisure, and at the same time, the use of spiritual tea is greatly increased.
This allowed him to practice three rounds a day.
The negative energy accumulated in the body in the first two rounds of cultivation was washed and washed by spiritual tea, and the last time it was taken care of by the body itself during sleep.
After turning himself into a ruthless cultivation machine, Meng Zhou's reward was that his cultivation progress increased by 8.5 and his practice proficiency increased by 3.
The speed is still faster than when practicing qi.
Just as Meng Zhou was about to launch a fierce attack on the third layer of Qi cultivation in one go, he suddenly heard a crackling sound outside the courtyard.
Meng Zhou, whose cultivation was interrupted, couldn't help frowning, but thinking about his relationship with the Chen family brothers, he also forcibly got up and walked out of the house unhappily.
But when he opened the door of the living room, he was stunned to find that it was not the Chen brothers he thought were slamming the courtyard door, but a strange man.
At this moment, the information about this person in Zhou Qiang's memory began to become clear.
Meng Zhou suddenly understood that he was indeed not familiar with this person.
But this person is quite familiar with Zhou Qiang, far more than the relationship between Zhou Qiang and Chen Yong before.
Of course, the two are not friends, just like-minded acquaintances.
often takes pictures in the place of the hook fence, and because of the same miscellaneous servant, he occasionally nods and chats about the idle articles of the hook fence Fengyue, and that's it.
Whether it was when he was a mortal, or after being pulled by Xia Qingqiang into the threshold of cultivation, Zhou Qiang did not have an existence that could be called a friend.
When he found this, Meng Zhou was happy that Zhou Qiang had such a bad interpersonal relationship.
If Zhou Qiang had a few friends who could go to each other's deaths, he would have a headache.
But Zhou Qiang is still a living person after all, and he has no life of isolation, and what should come has come after all.
Meng Zhou thought about Zhou Qiang's way of dealing with people, so he let the dissatisfaction with the interruption of the retreat just now be revealed, and frowned and exclaimed:
"Tan Kaiming, are you sick, don't you know that I am in retreat and doing penance?"
Tan Kaiming raised a wooden sign hanging on the courtyard door, and wrote four words on it, "Retreat, do not disturb".
He didn't have the slightest consciousness to disturb people's cultivation, but laughed:
"You cheated a month's vacation from Deacon Huang, which is very good for you, but how did you cheat yourself into it?"
Obviously, he didn't believe that "Zhou Qiang" would retreat and do penance at all.
Then, he squeezed his eyebrows and said:
"Mei Xianglou was ingenious and made a gimmick of 'benefactor return visit day'.
Haven't you been obsessed with Qianniang and have always wanted to continue the edge?
You can't miss this opportunity today, as an old benefactor before her career, as long as you open your mouth, she has to accept it even if she doesn't take it! ”
"......" Meng Zhou.
