Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 18 Sect Bounty (Please continue reading)

The price increase of the talismans he sells is good news for him!
The high-quality [Rejuvenation Talisman], which originally cost two spirit stones, can now be sold for three spirit stones.

For every talisman sold, Shen Xuan would pay him a 15% commission.

This is a risk-free benefit with no cost!
Just wander around and you can earn about ten spirit stones a month.

Where else in the world can you find such a good thing!

"that's it."

Shen Xuan emptied his storage bag and found only seven or eight high-quality [Rejuvenation Talismans].

This greatly disappointed Zhao Chunsheng.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhao. I've been in seclusion these past few days, focusing on making Rejuvenation Talismans to earn some spirit stones first!"

Originally, Shen Xuan had planned to devote himself to studying the [Rejuvenation Talisman] for a period of time, and improve his crafting skills to the proficient stage.

The application scope of the [Rejuvenation Talisman] is wider than that of the [Water Control Talisman], and there are no issues with its delivery.

Moreover, he can use it himself.

Although the [Self-Healing] talent was plundered.

However, this talent is difficult to improve, and it only develops at the proficiency stage.

If you use the [Rejuvenation Talisman] at the same time, the healing and recovery effect will definitely be better.

"However, Fellow Daoist Zhao, are those demon hunters reliable?"

Shen Xuan was somewhat worried.

Zhao Chunsheng is not a talisman master.

Suddenly, a large quantity of the Water Magic [Rejuvenation Talisman] is being sold.

If you are willing, you can find Shen Xuan in him.

"reliable!"

Zhao Chunsheng didn't take it seriously.

"Besides, what's so strange about you being able to create a high-quality [Rejuvenation Talisman]? You're being too cautious!"

Among the various arts of cultivation, talisman making is less difficult than alchemy, array formation, and weapon crafting.

Talisman making is the skill with the lowest entry barrier among the six basic arts of cultivation.

But this does not mean that making talismans is easy.

Almost all cultivators possess one or two talisman-making skills.

However, very few can become talisman masters.

Most independent cultivators who reach the late stage of Qi Refining possess a special skill.

Shen Xuan has been dedicated to making talismans in Qinglong Bay Market for over forty years.

It's perfectly reasonable that after being promoted to a mid-grade talisman master, one can produce a large number of high-quality [Rejuvenation Talismans].

In the cultivation world, many cultivators accumulate knowledge and experience, suddenly achieving enlightenment and making rapid progress in their skills.

In Zhao Chunsheng's opinion, Shen Xuan had been stuck in the early stage of Qi Refining for too long, which had made him overly cautious and timid.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you should still be careful. As usual, I'll give you a 15% commission."

Shen Xuan thought for a moment and then instructed Zhao Chunsheng.

Even with commission paid to Zhao Chunsheng, the price of the premium "Rejuvenation Talisman" is still much higher than when sold to the Ding family's shop.

really.

When he went to the Ding family shop to purchase materials for making the "Rejuvenation Talisman," Shopkeeper Ding told him some bad news.

"The price of cinnabar and talisman paper for the 【Rejuvenation Talisman】 has increased."

Originally, a bottle of cinnabar and 120 talismans only cost 30 spirit stones.

It's now actually worth thirty-six spirit stones!
Shen Xuan was immediately displeased: "Manager Ding, that's not fair of you!"

Are they trying to rip off regular customers?
Shopkeeper Ding quickly explained, "Master Shen, calm down! In two months, the Qingyun Sect will be sending cultivators to reclaim wasteland again."

"The Rejuvenation Talisman is a commonly used talisman, and the price of the materials we purchase is also rising."

"Master Shen, this is great news! As the tide rises, so does the price of the Rejuvenation Talisman! I can buy ordinary Rejuvenation Talismans for 30% more. Premium Rejuvenation Talismans will go up by 40%!"

Shen Xuan knew that Manager Ding was trying to curry favor.

He is now a major customer of the Ding family's shop.

By purchasing talisman materials and selling spirit talismans, the Ding family shop can make money twice!
"Okay," Shen Xuan replied.

In one go, he purchased 360 sets of talisman-making materials, paying 108 spirit stones. He practically emptied his storage bag.

He plans to focus on the [Rejuvenation Talisman] to earn spirit stones and purchase other cultivation resources.

After advancing to the fifth level of Qi Refining, you need to purchase an offensive magic weapon.

Moreover, they must continue to plunder the talents of demonic beasts to improve their spiritual root aptitude.

All of these require spirit stones.

Go home.

He and Ding Yuyao first had a two-person warm-up match.

They hadn't been able to do any strenuous exercise since their trip out and their accommodations lacked privacy. Now, Shen Xuan was finally able to give it his all.

Let Ding Yuyao know what it means to receive timely rain after a long drought!
It was quite a refreshing experience!
Afterwards, Shen Xuan told his young wife that he needed to go into seclusion to create talismans.

Stay at home and do not go out.

Do not let anyone into the house except Zhao Chunsheng.

For the next month, Shen Xuan spent his time practicing martial arts and crafting Rejuvenation Talismans.

Make a dozen or so "Rejuvenation Talismans" every day.

The 360 ​​materials for making talismans were completely used up within a month.

[Rejuvenation Charm: Mastery (6/400)]

After a month of hard work, I've finally mastered the [Rejuvenation Talisman] skill.

Like the Water Control Talisman, the success rate of the talisman is about 40%.

Three hundred and sixty materials were used to make one hundred and thirty Rejuvenation Talismans, of which thirty were of the highest quality.

"Due to my limited cultivation level, the [Rejuvenation Talisman] technique has temporarily reached its limit."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

According to the price given by Manager Ding, these [Rejuvenation Talismans] can be sold for 210 spirit stones.

You can earn 100 spirit stones a month!

His biggest expense right now is the spirit-gathering array in the training room, which costs thirty spirit stones a month.

Besides that, his and his wife's accommodation and food expenses, when calculated on a monthly basis, amounted to only three to five spirit stones.

"The surplus of sixty spirit stones each month is enough to plunder the talent of another demon beast."

Shen Xuan divided the finished Rejuvenation Talisman into three portions.

Ten high-quality [Rejuvenation Talismans] were stored in my storage bag as spares.

One hundred ordinary Rejuvenation Talismans were sold to the Ding family shop in exchange for talisman-making materials and a small amount of spirit stones.

Twenty high-quality "Rejuvenation Charms" were entrusted to Zhao Chunsheng for resale.

According to his cultivation progress, he will break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining in another six months.

When the time comes, as cultivation level improves, talisman-making skills will also reach new heights.

After leaving customs.

Shen Xuan first took a bath and changed his clothes, then found his charming wife with her eyes sparkling with desire, and they stayed up all night to complete their "homework".

So, farming is hard work!
The next day, early in the morning, he went into the Ding family's shop.

Upon entering, one would find that the prices of spiritual medicines, talismans, magical artifacts, spiritual wines, and other spiritual items for cultivation in the shop had all increased.

As far as I can remember, prices have risen even more sharply than in previous years.

Could there be some hidden reason behind Qingyun Sect's recent land reclamation?
In any case, Shen Xuan would not enlist for the land reclamation labor.

The Qingyun Sect has never released the number of cultivators who have perished.

It is said that in every time the wilderness was reclaimed, at least 10% of the independent cultivators were left behind forever in the wilderness.

Upon Shen Xuan's arrival, Manager Ding warmly welcomed him, invited him into the VIP room, and personally brewed him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Tsk tsk, Master Shen's reputation is well-deserved! He's made a hundred [Rejuvenation Talismans] so quickly!"

He presented 360 sets of talisman-making materials and 12 spirit stones.

"Master Shen, why don't you have any high-quality [Rejuvenation Talismans]?"

"I was fortunate enough to create a few high-quality [Rejuvenation Talismans], which I kept for future use," Shen Xuan said casually.

Manager Ding nodded in understanding and then dropped the matter.

"Master Shen, the Qingyun Sect has really gone all out for this land reclamation!"

"Oh. Tell me about it."

"The Qingyun Sect has offered ten Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward to the top ten contributors to the pioneering efforts!"

"Wow! That's quite a generous gesture!"

A single Foundation Establishment Pill can cost as much as tens of thousands of spirit stones.

In particular, the Foundation Establishment Pills produced by sects are of guaranteed quality, but are extremely rare and difficult to obtain.

Even Shen Xuan, a cultivator who prioritizes safety above all else, was somewhat tempted upon hearing this.

For cultivators with average spiritual root aptitude, Foundation Establishment Pills are essential for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Some monks even prepared two.

"Be cautious, safety first!"

"I possess a mysterious jade talisman, allowing for steady cultivation without the need for risks!"

Shen Xuan repeatedly reminded himself of this.

This suppressed the urge to participate in the land reclamation and corvée labor.

"The Qingyun Sect must have a reason for offering such a generous reward!"
