Chapter 8 Foxtail Pen (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)

The area for casual cultivators to set up stalls, which was a hundred feet in diameter, was densely packed with stalls of all sizes. A large number of Qi Refining cultivators shuttled among them, carefully observing the neatly arranged spiritual objects on each stall.

It takes a certain eye to buy spiritual objects here. Some are real and some are fake. Once you buy them, even if you suffer a loss, you can only blame your poor eyesight.

Every day, there are some cultivators who think they have a deep foundation to shop here, but unfortunately, only a few succeed.

Sun Mingsheng is not very interested in Taobao. He chose a more remote location to arrange twelve fire bird talismans and three Yin Ling grass neatly, and then started selling them.

The fire attribute is famous for its stronger attack power among the common five elements, and the fire bird technique is also the best among the first-level middle-grade ones.

The first-level low-grade Yin Ling grass has a wide range of applications and a low price. It has reached ten years and its quality is not inferior, so it is naturally not a problem to sell.

"One Spirit Stone for one first-grade middle-grade Fire Bird Talisman, and four Spirit Stones for three first-grade low-grade Yin Spirit Grasses"

Sun Mingsheng held up a piece of cloth that he had prepared in advance, wrote down the price and type of the goods, and then sat behind the stall with his eyes closed.

All he sold were genuine and widely-demanded spiritual objects, and he was not selling them for the purpose of hoarding them, so he naturally did not have to shout like some stall owners.

In the market, stalls can be basically divided into two types. Stalls that attract customers with all kinds of dazzling means are basically some relatively unpopular or low-grade treasures.

On the contrary, if Sun Mingsheng sits behind the stall, he must be selling some hard currency, and he has no worries about customers.

"How about six pieces of five Spirit Stones for the Fire Bird Talisman?" After a cup of tea, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage in green clothes appeared near the stall and tried to bargain.

"My Firebird Talisman is not a defective one. The power of each one has never been discounted. One Spirit Stone for one." Sun Mingsheng would not give in easily.

"I will buy your twelve Firebird Talismans for eleven Spirit Stones. Daoyou can also return home earlier." The green-clothed monk looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

"I am a small business. I can only earn one Spirit Stone for twelve Talismans. If Daoyou sincerely buy one Spirit Stone for one Talisman," Sun Mingsheng was not willing to give in.

"The lines are complete, the ink is neat, the spiritual power is abundant, and the price is moderate. This Talisman is of the highest quality. Bring me three." The green-clothed monk had not made up his mind yet, and the second customer had already appeared.

This monk had a certain understanding of Talismans. In a few words, he introduced the advantages of the Firebird Talisman refined by Sun Mingsheng clearly.

"Give me five Spirit Talismans too." Seeing that more and more monks were watching, the green-clothed monk showed a look of pain on his face and handed out five Spirit Stones.

A quarter of an hour later, the last Firebird Talisman was sold out, and the twelve spiritual stones were pocketed. Only three first-grade low-grade Yinling grasses were left on the stall.

However, Sun Mingsheng had already felt confident at this time. Even if he could not sell it smoothly, he could sell it to the family in exchange for some spiritual stones.

However, the store opened by the family also needed to make some profits. Three Yinling grasses could only be exchanged for three spiritual stones at most, which was far worse than selling them directly.

"Ten-year Yinling grass with such complete appearance is just right for alchemy. How about trading it with two Qi-Gathering Pills?" Before waiting too long, a female cultivator in white clothes and with a beautiful face appeared and prepared to trade Yinling grass.

Qi-Gathering Pills are the most suitable spiritual pills for assisting in improving cultivation in the middle stage of Qi training. One pill is sold for two spiritual stones and is also a hard currency in the market.

"Of course I can" Sun Mingsheng would not refuse such a transaction at all.

In a sense, he still got a bargain in this transaction. If he met some cultivators who were calculative, two Qi-gathering pills could be exchanged for four Yinling grasses.

In one morning, all the spiritual objects prepared by Sun Mingsheng were sold out, and there were 33 spiritual stones and two Qi-gathering pills in the storage bag.

The relatively sufficient spiritual stones must naturally be exchanged for some necessary cultivation resources, the most important of which must be talisman paper and talisman ink.

This time, the market transaction earned four spiritual stones, which is equivalent to two Qi-gathering pills. In the future, as the success rate of making talismans increases, the spiritual stones earned will be even more.

Although it will consume a certain amount of time and energy, he still cannot give up the production of talismans. After all, with his current cultivation, the way to earn spiritual stones is too rare.

Talisman paper and talisman ink are not scarce resources. Most stalls sell them. What Sun Mingsheng needs is to choose the best of the best and select some inexpensive and good-quality things.

Talisman paper is the only carrier for magic, and it also has a certain impact on the success rate of talisman making; talisman ink is the connection channel between magic power and talisman paper, and it also plays an important role in the process of making talismans.

Due to various factors, the quality of talisman paper and talisman ink of the same grade is naturally different, so we have to pay attention to it.

In addition, the number of talisman paper and talisman ink that Sun Mingsheng is going to purchase this time is also relatively large, so he naturally has to bargain and strive for the greatest benefit.

"How do you sell talisman paper? How much is the talisman ink?" After comparing for an hour, he finally chose a stall that specializes in selling talisman paper and talisman ink.

Compared with other stalls, the talisman paper here is obviously smoother, and you can see the orderly veins in it under the sunlight.

A faint layer of blood and spiritual power is floating on the talisman ink. Talisman ink is generally made from the blood of monsters of different grades, and the amount of blood is also an important criterion for its quality.

"One piece of talisman paper costs one stack of spiritual stones, and one bottle of talisman ink costs three spiritual stones (one bottle of talisman ink can make ten stacks of talisman paper)" The stall owner is a young monk with a stern face.

"Can I get an extra stack of talisman paper for buying ten stacks of talisman paper and one bottle of talisman ink?" Sun Mingsheng asked tentatively.

"Are you a talisman maker?" Before the young monk could answer, a rather crisp voice had already asked back. It was a young and playful girl who was in the early stage of Qi training.

"I only know how to make one or two kinds of talismans, and I dare not call myself a talisman maker." He did not deny it, nor did he admit it directly.

"Do you need a talisman pen? It is made of first-grade middle-grade wild fox tail hair and first-grade middle-grade Qingfeng bamboo. It can increase the success rate of first-grade low-grade talismans by 10% and the success rate of first-grade middle-grade talismans by half. It only requires 30 spirit stones." The little girl asked very seriously.

"Can I take a look?" Sun Mingsheng's heart moved. The talisman he used now was just a simple talisman pen that was the most basic and barely able to conduct magic power.

Since he was going to continue on the road of talisman making, a high-quality talisman pen was naturally indispensable.

A brand new first-grade middle-grade talisman pen costs about 70 spirit stones. The price is so cheap, it must be a second-hand product used by others.

"Daoyou, please look, this talisman pen is still 70% new and has no defects"
