Chapter Twenty-Eight: Making Rune Treasures
In Luzhou, unlike Cangzhou and Youzhou, immortal cultivators are not evasive, and ordinary people are accustomed to the existence of immortal cultivators.
Most of these shops are set up here by the big sects of other states, Luzhou monks fight against demon beasts all year round, and they can get a lot of demon beast materials by opening a shop here, and they can also make profits by selling immortal cultivation utensils to the outside world.
Yang Quan looked at these shops in the city, and sighed with emotion in his heart, they were all good things, whether it was an elixir puppet spirit grass, or a spirit beast talisman weapon, he lacked everything. Cultivating immortals, cultivating resources is what he thought about before he came, and he felt that there were many opportunities and immortals here. But when I really came here, I found that although there are many immortals here, there are also many immortal cultivators!
Most immortals and opportunities need to have a certain strength, such as going to the border to hunt demon beasts, if you don't have the strength in the late stage of qi training, people won't take you with you when they form a team! People like him who don't have the middle stage of qi training, there is not a single attack weapon on his body, hunting demon beasts is really a dream, and he is 100% going to be eaten by demon beasts.
After observing in Luzhou for more than ten days, Yang Quan barely found his own way to survive, an industry with very meager profits, that is, writing characters for others.
Runic treasure is a very common tool used by monks, and it is also a very expensive thing that is relatively troublesome to make. Generally speaking, when a human monk fights a demon beast, it is normal to use a few rune treasures. If it is a team action and wants to challenge a higher-level demon beast, then the number of rune papers used is even more, and just by setting traps in advance, it may be necessary to use dozens or hundreds, or even hundreds of them.
This thing consumes quickly, but it's still very time-consuming to write, it's a combination of basic runes, basically as long as you have learned a little, simple rune paper can be made. But these runes must be written with mana, and there must be no mistakes. Even the simplest fireball rune requires thousands of rune combinations to take effect.
The basic runes are forty-nine widely circulated in the world of cultivating immortals, and it is said that this is the first generation of Heavenly Emperors, when fighting against the Heavenly Demon Clan, a robber immortal under his command created them. It is the embodiment of the most basic rules of this world.
Although there are only forty-nine basic runes, there are countless combination runes, most of the rune combinations are invalid combinations, and only a few fixed combinations can have an effect, except for the basic combination of hitting the bad street, such as the combination of fireball techniques, such as the combination of ground stabbing techniques, such as the combination of freezing techniques, etc., there are also many other combinations that have been discovered, but they have not been made public, and they are generally kept as top secrets.
Yang Quan's current livelihood is to make the simplest fireball talisman treasure, and on the way here, he carefully studied the booklet made of the basic rune treasure. Because he was so poor that he didn't even have a spirit stone, the blank rune paper that Yang Quan used to make talismans was sold after selling the two finished rune papers on his body before, and only then did he buy twenty blank rune papers in the rune paper shop.
The eyes of the guy who sold blank rune paper, Yang Quan was impressed, because no one had ever bought so little at a time like him, because rune treasure was not 100% successful, it was the simplest fireball technique, and the chance of failure was not low, generally about fifty percent, this is still a veteran to do, if it is a novice like Yang Quan, twenty sheets at a time did not succeed, it is normal.
The reason why the chance of failure is so high is because when using these runes to write, it is not mainly relied on hands, but on spiritual sense! Writing those runes by hand is naturally simple, just write them down, but the reason why runes can produce utility is that they still need runes written with mana, which are mixed in with them.
The hand is very flexible, after all, it is the most commonly used body of people, so those runes can be imitated no matter how ghostly they draw runes, but the spiritual sense is different, the spiritual sense is awakened when practicing the second layer of qi, and it will also improve with time and the improvement of cultivation, but making rune paper is a very labor-intensive thing, and people in the later stage of qi training are too lazy to do it themselves, they team up to hunt a demon beast, and the benefits far exceed the production of rune paper.
Therefore, except for those few confidential runes with special effects, most of the basic runes are actually made by people in the middle and early stages of Qi cultivation, and these people's spiritual senses are often not very good, so it is normal for the failure rate to be high.
The blank rune paper that Yang Quan bought back for the first time, twenty pieces of it was only successful three times, and this was still when he was extremely focused and spent almost two days, counting the mana consumption and the money of the blank rune paper, he even lost a little. From two runes to three, it seemed that he had earned it, but it took him two days and he used up a lot of his own mana!
Three rune treasures, it's not even worth setting up a stall once, because most people want to buy them, they start with ten, after all, ten rune treasures can be exchanged for a low-level spirit stone.
The price of runes here is much worse than that in Cangzhou, and the price of runes in Cangzhou is expensive, and two pieces require a spirit stone, because the number of monks in Cangzhou is small, the output and consumption are very low, and the price is much higher.
Yang Quan hardened his head, used three rune treasures, went to the rune treasure shop to exchange for thirty blank rune papers, this time he spent five days, made fifteen rune papers, in a low-level trading area, sold ten rune treasures, and finally got the first low-level spirit stone since cultivating immortals!
He almost wanted to cry, it was too difficult, the second time he made the rune paper, the mana in his body was not enough, so it only took five days, every day waiting for the little mana absorbed by the eyebrows, because it took a long time, so the success rate was almost comparable to those veterans in the middle of Qi training.
That low-level spirit stone, he didn't stay in his hands for long, he was replaced with spirit rice, and if he didn't add some mana, he suspected that his cultivation was going to regress!
When Yang Quan came to the rune treasure shop again, the young man looked at him speechlessly, Yang Quan took out five fireball magic rune treasures, and the young man quickly took out fifty blank rune papers and handed them to him.
"Next time... I'll definitely buy more..."Yang Quan said embarrassedly.
The young man looked at him and said, "Knowing that you are not easy, don't be impetuous, we low-level monks are already very difficult, don't think too much, make talismans seriously, your success rate is still too low." ”
"Thank you. ”
Yang Quan expressed his gratitude, the young man has a good heart, this is not the first rune treasure shop he went to, but other rune treasure shops, some dislike him for buying too little, and directly drove him out, only this young man from this rune treasure shop, a guy who practices qi in the third layer like him, is willing to buy back his rune paper at a price of ten percent, and then sell him ten pieces of twenty pieces of blank rune paper.
Normally, if the rune treasure store buys back the rune treasure, it will only give eighty or ninety percent of the selling price. This young man buys back at a price of ten percent every time, although it is only an insignificant blank rune paper, but it is also a help to Yang Quan.
After coming to Luzhou for a month, Yang Quan finally gained a foothold a little, and when he appeared in the rune treasure shop for the fifth time, he directly bought three hundred blank rune papers, and even had a balance of spirit stones in his hand.
Tianquan Sect Fu Bao Shop, Yang Quan kept the name of this Fu Bao shop in his heart, if he had the chance, he would repay that young man.
