Of course, if this talisman base material was originally a divine weapon, it would definitely be stronger than those ordinary blades that were mass-produced after the talisman was activated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info is just a result of the increase in cost and the sharp increase in the difficulty of production, but it often does not match the little power it increases.
Therefore, in the past, Baiyunfang was very cautious in accepting these tabula rasa substrates, after all, there were all kinds of strange things brought by the loose cultivators - many mortals saw that very good divine weapons, because they did not contain spiritual materials at all, they could not retain mana and could not be made into talismans at all, or even if they could, they needed to be reprocessed, such as replacing the handle or handguard, inlaying or plating a layer of spiritual metal on its surface, etc., in addition, according to the characteristics of its material, the most suitable talisman should be selected...... Wait a minute.
The degree of cumbersomeness and difficulty must have increased dramatically compared to the use of general substrates produced in one's own workshop to make standard runes, but the selling price may not be much higher. Therefore, the shopkeepers and production monks of Baiyunfang did not like to accept this kind of loose cultivation miscellaneous goods before, and they were troublesome. Unless you meet someone who is very suitable in all aspects, you will accept it.
It's just that in the past year, because of Huang Chang's request, Ji Chengxuan intermittently picked out some good goods from the items rejected by the Fang Market, and accepted them in his personal name first - it was not worth a few dollars anyway, and then waited for Huang Chang to come over and hand them over to him together. However, Ji Chengxuan was not optimistic about Huang Chang's plan to use these things as substrates to make talismans - it is much more difficult to engrave talismans on the utensils than to draw talismans on paper with a talisman pen, and there is also a possibility of failure. Once the engraving fails, the spell will backfire, not only will the monk be easily injured, but the substrate itself will be damaged.
Talismans only need to be painted once, but more than one spell is often engraved on the talisman, and if there is a problem in the last link, all the efforts made in the front are in vain - so the engraving of the talisman is often considered the most difficult level in the production of talismans, and the more charms attached to the talisman, the more expensive it is.
The production monks who will serve as craftsmen in Baiyunfang are mostly not high. There are one layer, two layers, and three layers of qi training, but there is definitely no one above the middle stage, and the mana strength is definitely much worse than Huang Chang. But for many years, they have only engraved a few fixed charms on standardized substrates, and practice has long been perfect, and the success rate has also increased to the maximum. And at present, these substrates that Ji Chengxuan helped Huang Chang collect are of different types and materials, and the spells suitable for attachment must also be different.
Huang Chang wants to process them, which is equivalent to every time it is a new exploration, and the time and energy consumed must not be small, but the benefits are definitely not as good as his Aoki Fu Shield, in Ji Chengxuan's opinion, this is really of little significance.
"One trick is eaten all over the world, since the junior brother has the ability to make rune shields in hand, it should be enough to ensure the cost of spirit stones in the qi refining stage, why put so much effort into making rune soldiers? Although weapons have always been easier to sell than shields, the degree of trouble in making them has increased a lot, and with that kind of effort, it is better to make a few more rune shields, and the benefits may be more." ”
Ji Chengxuan's exhortation was very sincere, and Huang Chang was embarrassed not to respond to his senior brother's kindness, so he said honestly:
"These talismans are not for sale, they are for my own use. ”
"What?" Ji Chengxuan was extremely surprised, and said in a lost voice: "Didn't the junior brother enter the mid-stage realm early, didn't the sect give you a talisman weapon?"
——In Ji Cheng Xuan's thinking, which is very straight, anyone who chooses a medium-grade magic weapon must give priority to choosing weapons. And it is true that there are very few disciples of Western Kunlun in the past who do not choose weapons, so when he heard Huang Chang's answer below, he was really stunned for a while.
“...... Yes, but I didn't take the weapon as usual, but chose another artifact. ”
This time Ji Chengxuan has nothing to say, everyone has their own secrets, especially the utensils that Huang Chang would rather choose than give up his weapons, which must be extraordinary. Although the relationship between the two is good, it is inconvenient for him to ask directly.
After that, the two returned to Ji Chengxuan's house and chatted for a while while drinking. The ferry boat would stay here for about ten days, and Huang Chang would have a few more days to walk around the city to see what he needed to buy—if nothing else, he would definitely have to buy a large number of raw materials, all of which were needed to practice the six arts of Xianmen or make talismans. In fact, there are materials on the mountain, and the quality may be better, but the materials on the mountain need to be exchanged for the door skills, and Huang Chang must have more spirit stones in hand now than the sect merits. It is obviously more cost-effective to leave more door skills and go to the sect's "Tiangongtang" to exchange magic weapons or elixirs.
Ji Chengxuan once again reminded him to pay attention to safety, although Huang Chang's transaction process here has been kept as secret as possible, except for a few shopkeepers and account offices who must know the details, Ji Chengxuan has not told anyone. But he wasn't sure that the news would not reach the outside - Huang Chang only earned five or six hundred spirit stones here last year, and it didn't take long for the shops and workshops to spread in the front and back workshops, along with the scattered cultivation of those stalls outside. Although the scattered cultivators who are mixed with the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been fairly well-behaved, in the face of such a large amount of wealth, there are probably not a few poor scattered cultivators who dare to gamble their lives and become outlaws.
"But as long as you don't leave the Fang City too far, Senior Brother, I can always protect you. In the past few days, there are many of our fellow disciples in Kunlun nearby, and those scattered cultivators will never dare to make trouble here...... After ten days, when you get on the flying boat of the sect, no one will be able to help you. ”
At the end of the conversation, Ji Chengxuan assured Huang Chang that the latter was naturally full of thanks. After that, I took my leave for a while and went to the shop outside.
............
Every time Huang Chang comes over, in addition to selling products and buying the materials he needs, it is also important to walk around the market and strive to increase his knowledge. Places like Xiuxianfang City are always mixed, and scammers are full of cheats, and if you are not careful, you will be deceived - but then again, if you want to improve your ability to prevent fraud and pitfalls, it is also the easiest place to learn experience.
There are obviously a lot of people like Huang Chang who think like this, Huang Chang has met a lot of fellow disciples in the Fang City, including a large number of blue-clothed disciples who are also here—others may not be able to develop special products like him and make a lot of money, but it is always possible to go down the mountain and sell some talismans that he usually accumulates, and earn some pocket money.
