Volume 2: Evil Chapter 68: Stall-making Talismans
Zhao Hong had calculated the price of the "Thunder Talisman" in the Shang Pavilion and the price of the materials used in refining, and the difference between the two was at least a hundred times. This price difference is indeed a bit outrageous, if in other places, the price gap between the finished product and the required materials is at most three to five times, which is already a very high price, and ten times the price has never been there.
Therefore, the brand that Zhao Hong put out is to make talismans on behalf of the painting, and the price is ten times that of the material. That is to say, as long as you pay the materials that need to draw ten times the price of the talisman, you can ask Zhao Hong to make a talisman on your behalf, including the "Thunder Talisman". And there is no limit to the type of materials, as long as the price can be equal, you can exchange for "lightning charm".
Although this is for him to collect talisman materials, this is only one of Zhao Hong's purposes, his main purpose is to improve his talisman skills through the practice of continuous talisman making.
Originally, Zhao Hong thought that when his brand was hung out, there must be a lot of people who came to make talismans, but he waited for a whole day, and there was no business, which made Zhao Hong very frustrated. Do these people like to spend high prices to buy in the merchant pavilion, and they don't look down on their own stalls?
This is not right, for the monks, they don't care about the difference between the stall and the merchant pavilion, as long as the things are good, it is the last word.
Although there was no business at the door, there were many monks who passed by Zhao Hong's brand, and many monks stopped to point out Zhao Hong's brand, and then left. Another group of monks came to observe it, and the result was the same.
Soon wasted another day, and Zhao Hong still didn't receive a business. He couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and was about to take off the sign to close the stall and leave, but he heard a woman ask timidly: "May I ask if you draw talismans here, can you only accept ten times the material?"
When Zhao Hong heard this, his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he looked up and saw a female monk in the early stage of "refining and refining qi" standing in front of the stall, her hair and complexion were quite yellow, and her figure was also a little thin.
Zhao Hong hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, it's just ten times the material." But you're my first customer, and I've decided to take three times as much material from you. For Zhao Hong, what he lacks is a beginning, as long as he can prove that he is doing an open business, the customers behind him will definitely not hesitate.
"Ah......" The nun showed a surprised expression and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, thank you so much." ”
After speaking, she hurriedly took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhao Hong and said, "Here are the three materials for drawing the 'Thunder Talisman'......"
This female cultivator was because of the lack of materials, and she knew that even if she went to the shop to trade, she would not be able to exchange it for a "thunder charm", so she came to Zhao Hong's stall in desperation and planned to give it a try.
"You are stupid, this kid is a 'waste spirit root', how can he draw a talisman, he is obviously a liar, you would even believe it!"
"I heard that a person did this last year, and in the end he collected a lot of materials, but he didn't refine a 'thunder talisman'. However, because of the high cultivation of others, those little monks who have suffered losses can only consider themselves unlucky. I didn't expect that even a 'waste spirit root' would dare to come out and deceive now, and some people would really believe it......"
The monks around shook their heads, but Zhao Hong heard these discussions clearly, he frowned, and finally understood why he had no business now. It turned out that he was a "waste spirit root" and it was not believed, and this trick had already been used by someone, and it was still used to deceive materials. It seems that this female cultivator who takes care of her own business may have just come to Fuwu City not long ago, and it is also the first time that she has no experience to come to "take care" of her business.
Zhao Hong saw the nervousness of this female cultivator, and said with an indifferent smile: "If you believe me, I will help you refine the 'Thunder Talisman', if you don't believe it, I will return the materials to you now." ”
"No...... I believe in you. The thin nun hesitated for a moment, then immediately said firmly.
Zhao Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you refine it now." ”
Although Zhao Hong is also refining the "Thunder Talisman" for the first time, although he does not dare to guarantee a success in drawing this kind of mid-level talisman, he is still a little sure.
Even if he wasn't sure that he would be able to compare with those Terran talisman masters in Frustrated Wu City, he was still a mid-stage cultivator in the "real realm", and if he couldn't draw a middle-level talisman, it would be too much of a failure. The reason why he wanted to collect three materials was also to prepare for the worst and ensure the success of the talisman making.
Zhao Hong smiled slightly, stretched out his index finger, and a red flame appeared on his fingertips. Then he raised his hand, and the crimson flame shimmered and jumped in the palm of his hand. As soon as the flames of this "Mountain Anointment Beast" beast fire came out, it immediately caused some exclamations around it.
"Beast fire! This should be the beast fire of the 'Mountain Anointing Beast'. ”
"Can he really refine the talisman materials and draw the 'thunder talisman', isn't it a lie? I remember that the liar monk didn't refine the talisman in public last year, he just refined it in the ban, and finally came out and said that the refining failed, and then the material was gone. ”
"I think this little brother should have real skills, otherwise he wouldn't have refined materials in public, let alone beast fire. But he's obviously a 'waste spirit root', how can it be?"
"It should be true, because then he can't sneak the material for himself. The world is so big, it's really amazing!"
Zhao Hong suddenly ignored these discussions around him, and just concentrated on refining several materials one by one, mixing the refined materials with the blood of the demon beast, and then took out the talisman pen and began to draw a large brush on the three demon beast skins.
However, the female cultivator was pleasantly surprised when she heard the discussion of the people around her, and they heard the discussion of the monks around her, and it was obvious that Zhao Hong was a real talisman master and not a liar.
It didn't seem that he had seen the onlookers of the many monks around him at all, and Zhao Hong's tricks had already been smashed into the three demon beast skins one by one, and the speed was extremely fast. Even the monks who were watching couldn't see how many tricks Zhao Hong had entered, and they couldn't see what kind of tricks he had entered.
The three demon skins began to rotate slowly in the air, and then they turned faster and faster. Immediately, the golden runes on the animal skin kept flashing, and then disappearing. The people around could only see a cloud of red and gold intertwined light swirling in front of Zhao Hong, but they couldn't see the situation inside the light at all.
The only thing that could be seen clearly was that Zhao Hong's hand trick was constantly punching into the three demon beast skins, which seemed to be depicting the formation and seemed to be refining the materials.
"It doesn't seem right, I've seen other people have furnace tripods when refining talisman materials, why doesn't he have furnace tripods?"
"Yes, there must be at least one furnace for refining materials, right? How can there be such a refining? It's strange. ”
The discussion of the people around him did not affect Zhao Hong in the slightest, of course he knew that the refining tool was made of furnace ding, and generally there was no furnace ding, and ordinary low-grade runes could only be refined. There is no way to refine the runic materials of high-grade runes, or even mid-level runes. But since Zhao Hong's cultivation was promoted to the "real world", he has not used the furnace ding.
The Witch Book is all about flowing water, and restraint is not the best way. So he simply gave up using the furnace tripod and didn't use the furnace tripod to restrain the refining talisman materials. Zhao Hong found that refining talismans like this required extremely strong soul consciousness ability. If his cultivation does not reach the "reality realm", his soul consciousness will not be able to control the refining of materials at all. And the hand duel he had just entered was also to ensure that the refined runes were fully integrated into the demon beast skin.
It was the time of half a pillar of incense again, and when the rotation had completely stopped, three "thunder charms" had already appeared in Zhao Hong's palm.
"It's really a 'lightning charm'......"
Everyone took a breath of cool air, and the atmosphere in the crowd became more and more excited. No one thought that Zhao Hong was not only not a liar, but could really successfully draw three "thunder talismans" at one time.
The nun was also excited, her face flushed, and she was worried at the same time. She was worried that after Zhao Hong refined the "Thunder Talisman", the three times the number she said before would not be counted. Originally, she planned to exchange three materials for one "thunder charm", but even if she was deceived, Zhao Hong couldn't refine it, and she would lose up to three materials. But she didn't expect that Zhao Hong not only succeeded in refining, but also three at a time.
So she immediately took out another storage bag and said, "Here are the remaining seven materials, and I hope that Master Fu can sell me all three 'Thunder Talismans'." ”
Zhao Hong handed the three talismans in his hand to the female cultivator and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, I didn't waste materials, I don't know if my friend is still satisfied?"
The female cultivator excitedly took the "Thunder Talisman" handed to her by Zhao Hong, and even her hands trembled a little. How could she not be satisfied, if it weren't for Zhao Hong helping her refine, she would have to gather at least three hundred materials, and she would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
Zhao Hong couldn't even say anything when she saw her excited, and she didn't care. He did put some thought into drawing these three "lightning talismans", and the purpose was to start the signboard. He pushed the remaining materials handed over by the female cultivator and said, "You were the first to take care of my business, and you also helped me, so you don't have to be polite." As for the rest of the materials, you better take them back, I said that three copies are three copies. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Master Fushi......"
The female cultivator was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, Zhao Hong had helped her draw three "thunder charms" for free! So she was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Zhao Hong repeatedly.
Zhao Hong waved his hand, then stood up and hugged his fists and said to everyone: "Friends, you also saw it just now, I am making talismans here, it is still the old price, ten materials for a 'thunder talisman'." Or other materials that are equivalent to refining the 'Thunder Talisman' can also be used. If you want to make talismans, sign up now. ”
As soon as Zhao Hong's words fell, the onlookers rushed up one after another. Zhao Hong's talisman making skills, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, if this great opportunity is missed, it will be a fool. Now no one envies the luck of this female cultivator just now, because the words of this talisman master in front of him mean that everyone has a chance.
There are not many monks who beg for a living in the land of frustration, but there are many materials, whether it is refining materials, talisman materials, or alchemy materials, they are all a lot.
Zhao Hong saw everyone rushing up, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Everyone line up, prepare their own materials, and those who cut in line and disrupt the order will not be served." In addition, I would like to state one more thing, if there are demon beast materials above level four, you can go directly to the front and give priority to exchanging for the 'Thunder Charm'. ”
As soon as Zhao Hong's words came out, the monks who were still crowded lined up one after another, and no one dared to cut in line anymore.
After that, Zhao Hong didn't delay any longer and immediately started business. However, he didn't have the same dedication as the first time he refined the talisman just now, but even so, the "Thunder Talisman" was still quickly refined from Zhao Hong's hands.
Those monks who got the "Thunder Talisman" were even more overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly. Just using ten times the material to get a hundred times the price of other shops, this kind of thing is in Wucheng, no one will be unwilling.
Zhao Hong's storage bag contained more and more materials, and finally even piled up into a small mountain. The speed at which he made talismans was getting faster and faster, at the beginning, he needed half a stick of incense for a talisman, and in the end, it was completely a dozen breaths to succeed.
Seven days later, Zhao Hong even began to accept only fourth-level demon beasts, or materials of equal value with fourth-level demon beasts, because Zhao Hong was making talismans here, and there were more and more monks gathered in front of Zhao Hong's stall in the past few days, and as the news spread, more monks rushed here.
So many monks came to Zhao Hong to make talismans, and Zhao Hong was only one person, obviously too busy, and he could only limit the flow of passengers in this way.
Moreover, Zhao Hong's previous storage bags could no longer hold all kinds of materials, which made him have to replace them with several storage bags with larger storage space. But even so, the various materials he collected, such as refining tools, alchemy, and talismans, were still increasing. So in desperation, he had to limit the flow of passengers by raising the level of resources and materials.
Another seven days have passed, and the three large storage bags on Zhao Hong's waist have already bulged, and even the fourth-level demon beast materials have collected a whole large storage bag. He sighed and prepared to leave Fu Wu City, he planned to continue to practice in other places, or just find another quiet place to cultivate and improve his talisman skills with peace of mind, until he could draw high-level talismans. There is no point in wasting time here.
"Good technique, good ability! I am Mo Changfeng of the 'Ice Sect', and I am also the manager of the 'Treasure Pavilion', can this little brother take a step to speak?"
An exclamation made Zhao Hong, who was thinking about leaving, immediately notice that he found a middle-aged monk standing not far from the stall, who was already in the early stage of "refining qi and transforming gods". Just now, Zhao Hong thought that he was here to make his own talisman, but he didn't pay much attention to it for a while.
Zhao Hong sighed secretly, and said in his heart that he had set up a stall here to rob the business of the "Treasure Pavilion", and since this Mo Changfeng was the manager of the "Treasure Pavilion", he was afraid that it would not be good to come here.
