Chapter 102: Spirit Pattern Master (4 more, plus more for 580 monthly passes)
"Huh?"
The shopkeeper, who was already a little bald in his forties, was stunned, and two thoughts flashed through his mind: Is this teacher really out of money? Or is he bargaining for retreat?
But depending on the age, he is only about twenty years old, and he must have not learned the bargaining skills that only an old dog like himself can master, right?
The shopkeeper's gaze involuntarily fell on Sun Mo's feet, if it was a bargain, his pace would definitely slow down slightly, and he would take the initiative to lower the price and call him.
But no!
"Yes, it's so poor!"
The shopkeeper was depressed, but he hurried after him, and he was not selling antiques, so he was counting on selling one piece for a year.
These tools are basically small profits and quick turnover, making hard money.
"This teacher, let's take a look at other things, I dare to say that there are no more than three spiritual pattern utensils on this street that are better than my shop. ”
The shopkeeper laughed.
"I thought you would say you'd be number one!"
Sun Mo quipped.
"You're also a teacher, so you're sure you'll go to other shops too, and if I brag about it, won't it be exposed?"
The kind of thing that belittles others and exalts oneself is something that a little bald shopkeeper disdains to do, let alone a teacher in front of him.
If you are a teacher, there will be students, and if the teacher also uses the utensils of her own spirit pattern shop, it will be a live advertisement.
"You are a teacher, I can give you an eight-percent discount, if it is more than one thousand taels of silver, seven percent off!"
The owner is smiling and business-minded.
"I want some bargains!"
Sun Mo didn't feel embarrassed, anyway, he just had to complete a thousand cases of gathering spirit patterns, and he didn't have any requirements for the ink and spirit pattern paper used!
A fool would pay a lot of money for a good product!
"Do you want to practice? These kinds of spirit pattern pens are fine, and they are not expensive, at most only one hundred taels of silver."
The shopkeeper took five pens and handed them to Sun Mo.
Almost all of them are bamboo.
The shopkeeper could see from the eyes of an old dog that he had been trained in society for a long time that Sun Mo liked this kind of spirit pattern pen with this kind of shape and material.
Sun Mo took it and tried to feel it.
The shopkeeper took a spirit pattern and put it on the table, opened a bottle of used ink, and beckoned Sun Mo: "Teacher, try to draw a spirit pattern!"
Sun Mo was not polite, stood at the table, picked up the most handy spirit pattern pen and dipped it in ink, poured the spirit qi into the spirit pattern pen, and drew the first stroke on the spirit pattern paper.
The master-level Gathering Spirit Pattern Description Technique made the complex pattern of the Gathering Spirit Pattern seem to be imprinted in Sun Mo's mind, and it had become instinct.
Sun Mo didn't have to think about it at all, he drew it just as he got started, and it was the most perfect arc.
"Beautiful!"
As the owner of the Spirit Pattern Shop, this forty-year-old bald man has also seen a lot of Spirit Patterns, and when he saw Sun Mo raising his hand, he couldn't help but praise it.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one!
Sun Mo's posture is elegant, chic, and pleasing to the eye, and he has practiced it many times at a glance!
In fact, Sun Mo has never practiced, but what is 'master'?
A master is in a certain field, has been immersed in a certain field for decades, has profound attainments, has his own perception and income, and can open a museum to teach apprentices.
To be called a master already shows that this person is almost at the top in this field, and further up, that is the grandmaster, an even rarer existence.
Sun Mo actually just wanted to try his hand at brushing, but once he started drawing, he was so happy that he flew and didn't want to stop.
Sun Mo's current state is like brushing up on the questions, any problem can be done as soon as it is done, and there is no lag at all, so he can't stop at all.
One stroke at a time!
Flowing water!
Hearty!
After more than a quarter of an hour, a pair of spirit patterns was completed.
At the end of the last stroke, as Sun Mo lifted the pen, with a bang, the spirit gathering pattern suddenly lit up with golden light.
The surrounding aura immediately surged, and a tornado more than ten centimeters high was visibly formed with the naked eye.
"This ...... This ......"
The bald shopkeeper was stunned and almost bit off his tongue.
This spirit gathering pattern, I'm afraid it doesn't have a fifth-order, right?
It's like the same kind of fruit, because the quality is different, the selling price is also different, and things like spirit patterns naturally have high and low.
According to the quality, the spirit pattern is divided into nine levels, with the lowest level of the first order and the highest of the ninth order.
The first to third order are low-end goods sold in various spirit pattern shops on the roadside, and the price is not too expensive, and the spirit patterns of the fourth to sixth order are not affordable by ordinary people, at least they have to be well-off.
As for the spirit patterns above the seventh order, they are no longer common on the market, and even if they do, they are the things of some large spirit pattern shops, and the price is naturally quite expensive.
If you don't have a mine at home, don't even think about buying this spirit pattern.
The Gathering Spirit Pattern is the most common basic spirit pattern, and its effect is to gather the surrounding spiritual energy to form a space with a radius of several meters with a relatively high concentration of spiritual energy, allowing cultivators to get twice the result with half the effort when cultivating.
The spirit gathering pattern drawn by Sun Mo actually triggered a tornado of spiritual energy when it was completed, which showed that the speed of gathering spiritual energy was very fast, and the amount of gathering was also very large.
Goo!
The shopkeeper swallowed a mouthful of saliva and couldn't help but look at Sun Mo carefully.
The phenomenon of spiritual qi cyclone is a unique phenomenon that only appears when the spirit pattern above the fifth order is formed, and this kind of spirit gathering spirit pattern will be sold for five hundred taels of silver.
Bite!
+15 opinion from shopkeeper, reputation on, neutral (15/100).
"Is it okay?"
Sun Mo admired his first work, but in fact, he was a little happy in his heart.
The owners of the knowledgeable spirit pattern shop have contributed favorability, which means that their spirit pattern painting is really good.
"Yes!
The shopkeeper was busy complimenting, which was not a compliment, but a real compliment.
"I want this pen, any kind of ink, and this kind of spirit paper. ”
Sun Mo chose the utensils.
"Huh?"
The bald shopkeeper was startled and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Sun Mo frowned: "Is it out of stock?"
"No...... Isn't it ......" The shopkeeper pointed to the ink, and then to the spirit paper: "You just use this?"
"I said, I'm a poor ghost!"
Sun Moxin said that if I want to change to a higher grade, I have to buy it!
"This teacher, dare to ask for your name?"
The attitude of the owner is a lot more respectful.
"Sun Mo!"
There's nothing to hide about this.
"Teacher Sun, to be honest, these papers are not worthy of your spirit pattern depiction technique, no, they are simply wasted!"
The paper taken out by the bald shopkeeper is not the cheapest kind, but it is not very expensive, because Sun Mo has no money.
This is still because you Sun Mo is a teacher, the bald shopkeeper wants this repeat customer, otherwise he will give him the worst spirit pattern paper to try.
Even if it's the worst, don't look down on it, because the students come to buy it, and the paper they try is simply white paper for ordinary writing.
There's no way, the cheapest spirit pattern paper costs twenty or thirty dollars.
This money is enough to buy two drawers of buns, and the short-term workers who carry the bags at the dock earn so much money from working hard for a day.
"I don't have any money!"
Sun Mo shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey, the spirit patterns you depicted have reached this level, and you still say that you don't have any money......?
The bald shopkeeper shouldn't have commented on it, especially when his eyes fell on the spirit pattern on the table, and he regretted that he wanted to slap himself.
If I had been a little more generous just now, and had taken out a bottle of good ink and a piece of high-grade spirit pattern paper, wouldn't this be a sixth-order spirit pattern?
This level of spirit pattern can easily be sold for a thousand taels of silver!
The height of the spirit pattern grade is not only related to the level of the spirit pattern master, but also related to the material, after all, the material is too poor to have much effect.
But then again, who would have thought that this young teacher would draw such a high-grade spirit pattern casually!
Wait a minute!
Or is he just a casual drawing?
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper looked at Sun Mo with a hint of shock.
Because of his work in the spirit pattern, the son of the bald shopkeeper has been exposed to the eyes since he was a child, and he also likes to learn the spirit pattern, this kind of spirit pattern is the first spirit pattern that his son learned, and he has been painting for ten years until now, which can be regarded as a small success.
But it would take him nearly half an hour to paint one now.
This Teacher Sun only took more than a quarter of an hour to get to him, which was three times faster than his son, and the grade was so good......
"I thought that stinky boy was very talented in spirit patterns!"
The bald shopkeeper was hit and decided to wait for his son to come back in the evening and beat him up to get angry.
"You want to buy my Gathering Spirit Pattern?"
Sun Mo understood what the shopkeeper meant.
"Do you sell it, I can provide you with the best spirit pattern utensils, and then I will give you two hundred taels for each spirit pattern of this level!"
The shopkeeper made a direct offer.
"Two hundred taels?"
Sun Mo was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lingwen to make so much money?
I worked hard to write Journey to the West for a few days, even if it was a big sale, that is, tens of thousands of taels of silver manuscript fee income, but painting 200 pieces of spirit patterns is 20,000 taels.
Of course, it will take a few days, but this is the money you can make by your own skills!
"Sun Mo, you have overlooked a problem, your Spirit Pattern Drawing Technique is at the master level, if an ordinary Spirit Pattern Master wants to reach this level, it will take at least twenty years, and when they reach the master level, they will already become famous, and they still need to make money by drawing Spirit Pattern Gathering?"
The system despises: "You can't pursue it a little? The system gives you the Spirit Pattern Technique, not for you to use it to make money." ”
"Yes!"
Sun Mo agrees with this point of view, a master-level spirit pattern master, accepts some students casually, and I am afraid that the tuition fee alone will be soft.
"Teacher Sun, your Gathering Spirit Pattern grade is very good, and you can sell it for a lot of money, but what, this market is not big, after all, there are not many students who can afford such an expensive Gathering Spirit Pattern!"
The owner told the truth.
"Too little!"
Sun Mo was blunt.
"Two hundred and fifty taels!"
The shopkeeper markups.
"Do you treat me like two hundred and five?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"Don't dare!
The shopkeeper quickly apologized, gritted his teeth again, and quoted a price: "Three hundred taels!"
Sun Mo was silent.
"Teacher Sun, no matter how much, I can't even make much hard-earned money, after all, the materials are all made by me, and I am in charge of sales, I can't even drink a sip of soup. ”
The shopkeeper cried that the price was actually very good.
"I'll go to other Spirit Tattoo shops and ask!"
Sun Mo is leaving.
In fact, after listening to the words of the system, Sun Mo has already figured out that he is a person who wants to become a famous teacher, and he wants to be full of peach and plum all over the world, not to make a lot of silver.
Think about it, cultivating a gun saint who can leave a strong mark on history is more compelling than making a lot of money, and there is a sense of achievement.
However, who would be too little for money?
At least earn a few hundred taels more, which can make Papaya Niang's food go up a notch.
"Three hundred and thirty taels!"
The owner is really sincere this time.
Instead of making money, he decided to have a good relationship with Sun Mo first, if his son could steal a few spirit patterns from him, it would be more important than making money.
"Yes!"
Sun Mo was satisfied.
"Teacher Sun, let me say it first, the Gathering Spirit Pattern must be at this level, and I will buy it. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly added: "The number of defective products, as well as the accidental loss of materials, must be controlled below 10%. ”
"Definitely. ”
Sun Mo didn't plan to fool the shopkeeper yet.
Seeing that Sun Mo did not make excuses, but agreed, the shopkeeper was obviously relieved, this teacher is still very easy to deal with, but then, he rubbed his hands again.
"The ......"
The shopkeeper stopped talking.
"Say!"
Sun Mo calmly commanded.
"Can you paint another one?"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper immediately took the spirit pattern pen that Sun Mo liked, took out the best ink and spirit pattern paper, and respectfully placed them neatly on the table.
Sun Mo didn't care, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and injected the spiritual energy into the spirit pattern pen, and then began to gather and draw the spirit pattern.
"Ugh!"
The shopkeeper's heart shook, don't you need to think about it? This time, the materials are very expensive, and if you make a mistake, you will waste hundreds of taels of silver.
However, with Sun Mo's depiction, the shopkeeper realized that he was too careful.
Just like just now, it only took Sun Mo more than a quarter of an hour to gather the spirit pattern, and throughout the whole process, Sun Mo's posture was freehand, without stagnation and thinking.
It seems that painting the spirit pattern has become an instinctive thing like drinking water and eating.
Because of the better materials used, a tornado was born that was bigger than just now, and even the concentration of the aura was too high, producing some bursting spots, like stars in the night sky.
"Beautiful!"
"It's beautiful!"
Aside from this sentence, the owner could not find any other praise.
Bite!
+20 opinion from shopkeeper, neutral (35/100).
Sun Mo put down his pen.
The shopkeeper looked at the spirit pattern on the table, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to take it in his hand and appreciate it carefully, but then stopped.
He was worried about staining the pattern.
"Sixth-order, this is definitely a sixth-order spirit pattern, it can be sold for at least a thousand taels of silver!"
The owner was thrilled.
"Okay, you can pack up the spirit pattern equipment first, I have something to do later, it's time to go." ”
Sun Mo didn't want to waste time.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and immediately packed up the best ink and spirit pattern paper in the store and put it in front of Sun Mo.
"I don't have the money to pay a deposit!"
Sun Mo reminded.
"What kind of deposit?"
The shopkeeper behaved very aggressively.
He actually wants to, but if he offends someone else, he can't meet such a powerful spirit tattoo master once in a few years, and even if he does, people won't cooperate with him.
So the shopkeeper is for Sun Mo.
Besides, Sun Mo is a teacher at Zhongzhou Academy, so just ask for yourself, anyway, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple.
Sun Mo took his things and left.
After the shopkeeper sent him away, he couldn't wait to return to the store and carefully admire this spirit pattern, which is simply a work of art!
A student walked in, saw the aura tornado on the table that had not completely dissipated, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed over.
"I want this spirit pattern!"
Look, this is a rich man, never ask the price, just buy it!
The shopkeeper sighed.
If he usually met this kind of customer, he would have been waiting with a smile on his face, but not today.
"Sorry, not for sale!"
The shopkeeper refused.
"Why?"
Fang Yan was puzzled, and reached out to touch this spirit gathering pattern.
Just now he saw the size of that aura tornado, Fang Yan had already determined that this was a good spirit gathering pattern, and now that he looked closer, he realized how superficial his evaluation was.
The direction, arrangement, and thickness of each spirit line are simply pleasing to the eye and full of beauty, if Fang Yan gets it, he will definitely not be willing to use it, but frame it and hang it on the wall to enjoy.
"I'm going to keep it for my son!"
The shopkeeper said bluntly, he made money just to support his family, in order to train his son to become a talent, and now that he encounters such a good spirit gathering pattern, he must use it for his son first.
"You...... You...... You're a terrible thing!"
Fang Yan was almost angry.
You want to use up such a beautiful spirit pattern? You will be damned, do you know?
When the shopkeeper saw the angry Fang Yan, he took a few steps back in surprise.
No way, this guy is more than two meters tall, his muscles are knotted, and he is as strong as a huge iron tower, and once he gets angry, he feels like he wants to tear the enemy alive and swallow it.
"You make an offer!"
Fang Yan urged.
"I said I wouldn't sell it!"
The shopkeeper used the fastest speed to roll up the spirit pattern paper and hide it behind his back, and he was also worried that Fang Yan would snatch it, so he gave a warning.
"Look at your school uniform, it's from Zhongzhou Academy, if you dare to mess around, I'll go to your principal An to complain!"
"Huh!"
Fang Yan was angry, but when he saw the appearance of the shopkeeper, he also knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to buy this spirit gathering pattern.
Hey, I'm really unwilling!
"In my shop, there will be a similar grade of Gathering Spirit Pattern in the future, if you want, I can keep it for you. ”
The shopkeeper is very cunning, and does not say sell, but says to stay, so that it will appear that his goods are very popular.
"At my level, what else do I need to gather spirit patterns for?"
Fang Yan shook his head and smiled.
The Gathering Spirit Pattern is a spiritual pattern that can be used by cultivators in the early stage of the Forging Body Realm and the Refining God Realm, and no matter how high the realm is, the little spiritual energy gathered by the Gathering Spirit Pattern is simply a drop in the bucket, and it will be used up in a few breaths.
The reason why Fang Yan wanted this Gathering Spirit Pattern was purely because he liked the Spirit Pattern Technique, and he took a fancy to this Gathering Spirit Pattern and was ready to treat it as a collector's item.
Use?
Reluctant!
"It's for collection!"
The shopkeeper suddenly realized, and then remembered that when Sun Mo depicted this spirit gathering pattern, that understatement posture, if he was serious, he should have painted better than this one, right?
