"Senior brother, you say something, senior sister apologizes to you, don't be angry, okay?"

was brutally tricked by Chen Shu once, of course Zhu Youdao would have some memory, but he just ignored her.

Don't look at Chen Shu's usual quiet appearance, but that's just the appearance, after a few days of getting along, Zhu Youdao has already seen through her.

Of course, the little girl has no bad intentions, she is just playful and playful.

At the beginning, she tricked Zhu Youdao into tasting the roots of the five-flavor fruit tree, and was severely taught a lesson by Master Zheng. After only two days of honesty, I couldn't bear it anymore and came to Zhu Youdao.

Zhu Youdao wasn't really angry, the little girl still knew the severity, and didn't use the real poison to harm him, just made him uncomfortable for a few days. But you can't get used to her, otherwise you won't know how to play yourself in the future.

begged for a while, and when she saw Zhu Youdao ignoring her, the little girl threatened fiercely: "Zhu Youdao, if you ignore me again, I will let my father drive you away!"

Zhu Youdao said lightly: "Master Zheng is not that kind of person!" He was very curious, Master Zheng's surname was Zheng, why his daughter's surname was Chen.

"Hmph! stingy ghost!" Chen Shu left in a huff.

After a while, Chen Shu came back again, this time with full sincerity, and even came over with a food box.

"Zhu Youdao, my mother sent me something delicious, I invite you to eat together, can you forgive me?"

"Unless you tell me, your father's surname is Zheng, why is your surname Chen?"

Chen Shu said indifferently: "My father was a casual cultivator when he was young, his cultivation was too poor, and he couldn't cultivate the true hundred arts, and he was very poor. Later, my mother saw that others were okay, so she fell in love with him. But there are many rules in the Chen family, if my father wants to marry my mother, he has to join the Chen family, and the child born must also be surnamed Chen. You know it!"

Zhu Youdao nodded: "Got it!"

Chen Shu opened the food box, took out the exquisite dim sum inside, and handed it to Zhu Youdao to eat.

Zhu Youdao took it and took a bite, it tasted really good.

With Chen Shu learning art together, Zhu Youdao's apprenticeship career has become colorful.

......

On a dilapidated wooden plaque, the word "Zhu Ji" is written.

This is a stall, and the stall owner is Zhu Youdao, who sits behind the sign, waiting for customers to come.

There were some miscellaneous things on the stall, including low-level spirit runes, scattered spirit materials, and things that Zhu Youdao didn't know.

The spirit talisman was collected by him from the talisman master of Yipinlou, and he sold it to Sanxiu, the profit was not high, and he just made a difference in the middle.

The Chen family of Yunlou Mountain is famous for its talisman making, Yipinlou is the Chen family's industry, and the main product is also the spirit rune, there are more than ten talisman makers like Master Zheng, and there are dozens of talisman apprentices like Zhu Youdao.

Zhu Youdao worked as an apprentice in Yipinlou for a year, doing the hardest and most tiring work every day, in addition to food and shelter, he could learn some superficial talisman making skills, and the salary was not available.

What can be learned, in addition to making cinnabar, rune paper, and rune pen, Yipinlou only teaches a kind of drawing rune of the first-order lower grade spirit rune for free. If an apprentice wants to learn more, there is only one way to go, and that is to sign a contract of sale with Yipinlou and join Yipinlou.

Just like Master Zheng and them.

Of course, Master Zheng has a higher status than ordinary talisman makers, because Master Zheng is in the Chen family.

The average apprentice has to learn to make a talisman, and it takes three years at the earliest. But Master Zheng took great care of him, and Zhu Youdao himself was willing to work hard, and in a year, he mastered a method of making spirit runes.

The spirit talisman that Zhu Youdao learned to make is called the Fireball Talisman.

The fireball talisman is the most commonly used spirit talisman for low-level monks, and it is considered to be a relatively large consumption among all the types of spirit runes, as long as it is produced, it is not easy to sell at all, of course, the profit of the fireball talisman is also very low.

In the last month, Zhu Youdao has learned the skills that an apprentice should learn.

According to the practice of Yipinlou, it is time for apprentices to leave the school.

If you want to learn further skills, there is only one way to go, and that is to sign a contract with Yipinlou and join Yipinlou.

Zhu Youdao refused without hesitation.

The reason is very simple, joining Yipinlou is like a long-term worker in the landlord's family, doing the most tiring work, getting the lowest salary, and never having enough to eat and never starving to death.

The talisman maker in Yipinlou is like a talisman tool, forever squeezed out of surplus labor. In addition to making talismans, even the time for cultivation is limited.

Zhu Youdao doesn't want to be just a talisman machine for the rest of his life.

The talisman makers in Yipinlou receive a certain amount of talisman materials from the shop every day, make them into talismans and hand them in. However, there is a certain amount of failure in talisman making, as long as the number specified in the store is completed, the talisman makers will secretly leave some material scraps in the name of loss, and when these accumulated materials are more, they will be made into spirit runes and hidden privately. As long as they don't do too much, the stewards will not pursue it.

Therefore, there are some private goods hidden in the hands of the talismans, which are theoretically owned by Yipinlou, so the talismans do not dare to openly take them out and sell them.

After coming out of Yipinlou, Zhu Youdao used his connections in Yipinlou to buy a batch of low-level spirit runes from the talisman maker and started a business in the stall street of Vientiane City.

But it was too simple to sell spirit runes, and the profits were not large, so in order to enrich his own goods, he collected some messy spiritual materials from Sanxiu, and he also filled the stalls.

Vientiane City is a big city where immortals and mortals live together, and the Zhou family is the manager of the city, but other major families and the Xiuzhen sect also have a lot of industries here.

The shops in the prosperous area are occupied by major forces, and the casual cultivators naturally can't afford to buy shops, so they spontaneously organize a stall area.

Although most of the casual cultivators are poor monks, there are quite a few of them, so Zhu Youdao's business is not bad.

At this time, a casual cultivator came over, Zhu Youdao knew, this person's name was Liu San, and he was very active in the stall street.

This person was born in Vientiane City, it is said that the ancestor is also a glorious Xiuzhen family, and now the family is in the middle of the road, reduced to a casual cultivation, relying on the familiarity with Vientiane City, specializing in brokers and other businesses.

"Little Brother Zhu, business is booming!" This is Liu San's usual way of greeting. Those who do business pay attention to lip dress, so as long as they say that business is prosperous, others will greet them with a smile.

"Third Brother Liu!" Zhu Youdao raised his head and said expectantly, "Third Brother Liu is here, but there is news I want?"

Liu Sanyi sat down beside him and said, "Yes, I helped you find out about the spirit wood you wanted, Zhang Mazi has a one-foot square eagle claw locust wood in his hand, which is a first-order low-grade spirit wood, which meets your requirements." ”

Zhu Youdao asked: "What about the price? You also know, I just came to the street stall, and I don't have many spirit stones in my hand, if he opens his mouth, then forget it!"

Liu San patted his chest: "With me Liu San here, how can I make you suffer?" Zhang Mazi originally opened his mouth to ask for fifty spirit stones, but I scolded him, and under my guidance, he suddenly woke up and promised that as long as twenty spirit stones, that spirit wood would be yours!"

Fifty spirit stones are pulled, and even in the big shops on Vientiane Street, the first-order low-grade spirit wood is only sold for thirty spirit stones a foot, and it is impossible for casual cultivation to be more expensive than the shop.

Twenty spirit stones are okay, plus the errand fee to be given to Liu San, I am only afraid of twenty-five spirit stones, but it is cheaper than in the store.

Zhu Youdao thought for a moment and said: "The price is still acceptable, that is, I don't have a spirit stone now, I have to use a spirit rune to offset it, don't worry, I will make up two more spirit stone spirit runes!"

Zhu Youdao was also a business tycoon in his previous life, so he naturally knew the truth of using his own goods to offset cash. That's the equivalent of another batch of goods sold!

Liu San thought for a while and agreed, anyway, the spirit rune is a consumable, it will take a little time at most, and it can be sold sooner or later, and there are two more spirit stones.
