Chapter 11 Opening a Store
On this day, Zhu Youdao was setting up a stall to sell spirit runes, and Chen Shu came to him crying.
"My father has left the Chen family!" Chen Shu said as soon as they met.
"What's going on?" Zhu Youdao asked, "Didn't Master Zheng give up his plan to exchange for Zhuji Dan?"
"My dad was about to leave last year, and my mother persuaded him. My mother said that there is less hope of becoming a casual cultivator to get Tsukidan, and if I stay in the Chen family, I still have hope of getting Tsukidan in the future. My father thought about me, so he reluctantly stayed. But he has been making talismans for the Chen family for so many years, and has accumulated a lot of family contributions, if he doesn't exchange for the Zhuji Dan, these family contributions will be idle, and my father wants to exchange them for pills for me to use in my cultivation, but the Chen family still doesn't agree! My father was angry and broke away. ”
"Why is this so? What is the meaning of the Chen family's family contribution system?"
Chen Shu sighed: "The Chen family is just the Chen family of those core bloodlines, my mother is just a side branch of the Chen family, and the family doesn't pay attention to us at all!"
Zhu Youdao sneered in his heart, the ruler of the Chen family is too short-sighted, which will only make all the side branches of the Chen family deviate. Now that the Chen family is strong enough, even if the Chen family's side branches are treated unfairly, they are stronger than ordinary casual cultivators, so they have to attach themselves to the Chen family and serve the Chen family. But if the Chen family encounters a major crisis, no one in these side branches will serve the dead. Even if the family is not in trouble, the bottom of the family loses enthusiasm, and only relies on the core disciples, the family can only maintain the status quo, how can it continue to develop and grow?
Just like he managed a company in his previous life, executives naturally got more, but they should not squeeze grassroots employees too much, but should give grassroots employees the hope of promotion and salary increase, so as to mobilize their enthusiasm.
Zhu Youdao asked again: "What did your mother say?" Master Zheng reached the bottom line of tolerance and had to break away, I am afraid that Chen Shu's mother is still concerned about the family, and the husband and wife are not of the same mind, so Master Zheng's family will be dissolved.
"Of course my mother and I followed my father, the Chen family treated us like this, and I didn't want to stay in such a family anymore, now I have changed my name to Zheng Shu!"
Zhu Youdao comforted: "It's okay to get rid of it, with Master Zheng's talisman making skills, where can you not find food to eat? Why stay and be wronged!" He suddenly moved in his heart, got up and said, "Let's go, I'll go see Master Zheng!"
Although Zhu Youdao left Yipinge, he and Master Zheng have never broken off contact, and their relationship has always been that of a teacher and a friend.
After arriving at Zheng's house, I saw a lonely Master Zheng in a daze on a recliner in the courtyard.
"Master!" Zhu Youdao hurriedly saluted, and said to Mrs. Zheng, who was going out when he heard the sound: "Master!"
"There is a way!" Mrs. Zheng's name is Chen Wan, and her personality is just like her name, she is really gentle and virtuous. She said enthusiastically: "Sit down and talk to your master, he is not in a good mood!" and said to Zheng Shu: "Xiao Shu, come and help me get a few dishes, let Youdao have two drinks with your father!"
Zhu Youdao sat down next to Master Zheng, and Master Zheng glanced at him: "You kid, I heard that you have become a refiner, you can really toss, I knew that I wouldn't teach you to make talismans in the first place, and it was in vain that I wasted so much of my work!"
Zhu Youdao said with a hippie smile: "It's not in vain, it's not in vain! I'm now a dual cultivator of instrument talismans, and I haven't fallen behind in refining talismans!"
Master Zheng glared at him: "Baihui is not as good as a refinement! Since your talent in refining weapons is stronger than that of talisman making, hurry up and throw away the talisman making so as not to delay both!"
Zhu Youdao said again and again that he had given up the talisman making technique, but in order to cover up the engraving talisman making, he still had to continue to learn this talisman on the surface.
After chatting with Master Zheng for a while, seeing that he was in a slightly better mood, he asked tentatively, "Master, what are your plans for the future?"
"What can I do!" Master Zheng sighed, "I have been in the Chen family for so many years, and in order to build the foundation Dan, I have worked hard to accumulate family contributions, and I have not accumulated too much private property. It can be maintained for a short time, and after a long time, I am afraid that it is not as good as before. I can't add other forces, otherwise I'm afraid it's better to be in the Chen family. I plan to become a casual cultivator like you, and with my talisman making skills, even if I set up a stall, my income will not be worse than before!"
Zhu Youdao nodded: "Yes, Master is free from the shackles of the Chen family, it is the sea that leaps from the fish, and the sky allows the birds to fly!"
Master Zheng scolded with a smile: "You kid, you will make people happy!"
Zhu Youdao also smiled and said, "Master, I also have an idea, you can think about it!"
"You say!"
"The stalls and streets are all loose repairs, there are not a few spirit stones in their pockets, and the real rich people go to Vientiane Street to buy things. You can make talismans, I can refine weapons, and I can also make low-level spirit runes, why don't you rent a small shop on Vientiane Street, specializing in selling low-level magic weapons and spirit runes, and I don't have to go to a stall, specialize in refining talismans at home, and sell them in your store, what do you think?"
Master Zheng was still hesitating, and Zhu Youdao said again: "You think about it first, go back and discuss it with the master before making a decision!"
Master Zheng nodded, and at this time, Zheng Shu came out with wine and food, and Zhu Youdao hurriedly got up and took it, put it on the table, and accompanied Master Zheng to eat and drink.
Until the guests and hosts were happy, Zhu Youdao said goodbye and left.
A few days later, Master Zheng agreed to open the shop. Zhu Youdao stepped up the refining of some low-level magic weapons and put them in the store to fill the store. Master Zheng has been in the MixC for many years, and he also knows a few friends, and he also took a batch of goods from them.
The shop opened smoothly, and Zhu Youdao also had an excuse to follow Master Zheng to continue learning talisman making, and learned the runes of other spirit runes from him.
His talisman engraving can also be further refined.
With the successful experience of refining fire talisman engravings, Zhu Youdao successively refined wind talismans, frozen talismans, shield talismans and other engravings in the following months.
The wind rune is a spirit rune that speeds up the running speed of the monk, and for low-level monks, they can't fly with magic weapons, and they don't have spirit animal mounts, so the wind rune is the main means of hurrying.
The Freezing Charm can freeze enemies, and the Shield Charm can resist enemy spells.
These are all talismans that sell well on the market.
What Zhu Youdao is most distressed about now is that he has a lot of spirit runes, but he doesn't dare to sell them in large quantities, for fear that he will attract the attention of people with a heart and end up with the same fate as Han Xing.
Even if a small amount of shipments are made by various means, Zhu Youdao has gained a lot, and after half a year, Zhu Youdao has been equipped with the necessary things for monks to travel at home: storage bags!
This storage bag of his was a low-grade cargo, and it was only two meters square, but it cost him five hundred spirit stones.
With the storage bag, the talisman carving and a large number of spirit runes can be carried with him, seeing that he could not sell a large number of spirit runes in Vientiane City, Zhu Youdao knew that it was time to leave here and go out for a walk.
