Chapter 12: The Black Guard
"How many dozen dozens of talisman paper did you use to make these talisman seals," calming down a little, Wang Mingyuan asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Sixteen dozen, a total of twenty-seven fireball talismans, one vajra talisman, and seven water arrow talismans," Wang Changsheng replied truthfully.
"What, only sixteen dozen?" Even though he had already prepared in his heart, when he heard Wang Changsheng's words, Wang Mingyuan's face couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Although Wang Mingyuan has not personally sold talismans, he has been in charge of the family for many years, and he is still relatively clear about the prices of many immortal cultivation items, a fireball talisman is worth a low-level spirit stone, the water arrow talisman is also a spirit stone, and the diamond talisman is a defensive talisman seal, the price is a little more expensive, and the general price is ten spirit stones,
And the purchase price of a dozen blank rune papers is only half a spirit stone, if all these rune seals are sold, after deducting the cost, they will also earn thirty-six spirit stones.
The family-run industry Juxianju has been losing money for more than a year, not to mention earning spirit stones, and even the annual rent is almost impossible to pay, if it weren't for the fact that Juxianju is an industry left by the ancestors, it can't be abandoned casually, Wang Mingyuan would have sold the store out a long time ago.
"Yes, Dad, didn't I just learn talisman making? the loss is a little more, but I promise that as the experience of talisman making increases, the loss will be reduced in the future. ”
"Sixteen dozen rune paper makes thirty-five rune seals, which is called a lot of loss?" Hearing this, Wang Li's wrinkled face couldn't help but twitch.
"Except for the third uncle, how many people know that you can make talismans?" Wang Mingyuan frowned lightly and asked in a deep voice, his face a little nervous.
"I told the third uncle and the seventeenth uncle, by the way, and the father, the others should not know, and I also went to the fang market to buy the talisman making tools. “”
"I can prove this, don't worry, Mingyuan, I know what you're worried about, I'll greet you from your seventeenth uncle's side, and promise that he won't talk nonsense," as if seeing through Wang Mingyuan's thoughts, Wang Li opened his mouth to explain.
"Then thank you Third Uncle, my nephew still has some things to deal with, so I won't bother you, Sheng'er, come with me," Wang Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, said hello to Wang Li, and left with Wang Changsheng.
Along the way, Wang Mingyuan was silent, his face was a little serious, seeing this, Wang Changsheng did not speak, and followed his father honestly.
"Wang Fu, you go and transfer a team of black-clothed guards to surround the young master's courtyard, from today onwards, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will without my order, including the young master," Wang Mingyuan commanded an obese old man who was following him as soon as he left the teaching hall with his front foot.
"Yes, sir," the fat old man nodded, and walked away quickly.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Seeing this, Wang Changsheng smiled bitterly and said disapprerovingly.
"Sheng'er, you are still young, you don't understand many things, listen to your father. ”
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he didn't want to say anything more.
Back in the small courtyard where Wang Changsheng lived, the fat old man was already guarding there, followed by more than a dozen immortal cultivators wearing uniform black clothes, in a circle, surrounding the small courtyard where Wang Changsheng lived.
Most of these immortal cultivators are middle-aged, both men and women, and their cultivation is between the fifth and sixth layers of qi refining, and the leader is a bald man with ten layers of qi refining.
"Wang Yang, let me repeat to you again, without my order, no one is allowed to enter or leave the courtyard where the young master lives at will, violators will be punished as treason, and the manpower will be rotated and arranged by yourself," Wang Mingyuan said with a solemn face.
"Yes, patriarch, violators will be punished as treason," the bald man who called Wang Yang repeated Wang Mingyuan's words, his face extremely serious.
"Sheng'er, there are no outsiders now, you tell your father honestly, how many kinds of runes and seals will you make, which one you are best at, how much is the highest talisman making rate, and how many runes and seals can be made in a day, of course, without affecting your cultivation," As soon as he entered the room, Wang Mingyuan threw out a lot of questions.
Wang Changsheng knew that this was related to his father's position as the patriarch, so he didn't answer immediately, pondered for a while, and replied: "Now there will be three kinds, the fireball talisman, the water arrow talisman, the vajra talisman, the best at the fireball talisman, the success rate of the fireball talisman is about fifty percent, the water arrow talisman is lower, only thirty percent, as for the vajra talisman, it is less than one percent, except for the time to meditate to recover mana,
I haven't counted how many talismans I can make in a day for five hours a day, but I can try it. ”
In fact, Wang Changsheng's words are a bit big, with his current cultivation at the fifth level of qi refining, it would be good to be able to make talismans for three hours in a row, but it was about his father's position as the patriarch, so Wang Changsheng had to fight for it.
Hearing this, Wang Mingyuan nodded, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he fell into deep thought.
After a while, Wang Mingyuan stopped banging on the table and said: "In this way, you give your father fifty pieces every day, no, thirty talisman seals are fine, and at other times you can arrange them at will, I will ask Wang Fu to send you rune paper and food, and you can hand over the made talisman seals to him, no problem!"
"No problem," Wang Changsheng agreed without hesitation, with his current talisman level, thirty talisman seals were a bit much, but for the sake of his father's patriarchal position, Wang Changsheng still decided to fight.
"Rune paper Wang Fu will send it to you later, Dad suggests that you draw as many fireball talismans as possible, after all, the success rate is relatively high, of course, it is just a suggestion, if you want to draw other talismans, Dad fully supports," Wang Mingyuan sincerely suggested.
"Got it, Dad. ”
Seeing his father away, Wang Changsheng moved his gaze to the portrait of his mother and muttered to himself: "Mother, don't worry, I will help my father keep his position as patriarch." ”
"What? The second brother transferred a team of black-clothed guards to surround the small courtyard where the eldest nephew lived," Listening to the report of his subordinates, Wang Mingzhi looked puzzled.
"Yes, uncle, it is indeed the black-clothed guards, it seems that they are going to be stationed there for a long time," a man in a yellow shirt said respectfully in front of Wang Mingming.
"After leaving the ancestral hall, where did Mingyuan go and what did he do?" to tell the truth," said the one-armed old man sitting next to Wang Mingming.
"The patriarch left the ancestral hall and went to the hall first, because the patriarch sent people to guard outside, we couldn't enter the hall, and we didn't know what the patriarch did, it didn't take long for the patriarch to come out with the young patriarch, and then asked the chief manager Wang to transfer a team of black-clothed guards to guard the outside of the courtyard of the young patriarch, and the patriarch stayed in the courtyard of the young patriarch for a while before leaving. ”
"I know, you go down, keep an eye on it, tell me as soon as the second child has any moves," Wang Zhizhi commanded without question.
The man in the yellow shirt replied and respectfully stepped back.
"Uncle Nine, what do you say the second brother wants to do, the black-clothed guard is the most elite force in the clan, and he usually won't call it easily, besides, although I compete with the second brother for the position of patriarch, I can't poison my nephew, yes, I admit that my son beat the second son, but does he want to send a team of black-clothed guards to guard it?" Wang Mingming said with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't know what Mingyuan thinks, but I finally understand, why did the seventeenth brother appear in the ancestral hall today, it turned out that the third brother made a ghost?"
"Third uncle, ninth uncle, do you think that the third uncle will say that the seventeenth uncle will stand on the second side?" seemed to remember something, Wang Mingzhi looked a little nervous.
"Don't worry, your seventeenth uncle is not interested in these things, otherwise he wouldn't have asked about clan affairs for so many years, this time it was most likely the third brother who asked the seventeenth brother to come," Speaking of this, the one-armed old man glanced at Wang Zhizhi deeply, and then said: "Although your father has passed away for many years, but with me, I will never let people bully you, just send someone to keep an eye on Mingyuan,
If you have time, go to your uncles and walk around, don't look at the old uncles, there are still a lot of things worth learning from you. ”
"Yes, Uncle Nine," Wang Mingming's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
