In the early morning, a touch of fish belly white just appeared on the sky, and Wang Chen quietly walked out of the alley.

He was wearing a blue-grey Daoist robe, with gray beard and hair, a pale face, and a thin body that seemed to have no strength to restrain a chicken.

Just the faint aura of high-level Qi Condensation makes people dare not underestimate him.

On the long street, people come and go, and most of the shops along the street are already in Gate of Opening.

Wang Chen walked through the familiar streets and alleys and came to a teahouse.

This teahouse provides breakfast. He found a seat and ordered a pot of Spiritual Tea and a basket of steamed buns.

While eating, I listened to the chatter of the tea drinkers around me.

These tea drinkers are basically neighbors nearby, and they are very well-informed. There are many big and small events happening in Myriad Cultivator City, which they are keen to talk about.

After hearing enough of the gossip and rumors in the world, Wang Chen was tired of Spiritual Tea. After eating the hot and fragrant animal meat buns, he paid for the meal and left the restaurant.

The price of Spiritual Tea and steamed buns here is almost twice as much as that of Dongwu Stockade.

It is not easy for ordinary Rogue Cultivator to settle down in Myriad Cultivator City.

Near the tea house, there is a large Marketplace.

Wang Chen is here to set up a stall today.

After paying one day's rent to the manager of Marketplace, he quickly set up his own stall in the corner.

No way, Wang Chen came a little late, and the good seats were taken by others.

Marketplace, which can set up stalls in this way, has a total of four stalls in Myriad Cultivator City. The stalls are first come, first served. There are no restrictions on the items sold, but the rent is quite expensive.

It's fifty Lower Spirit a day!

When it comes to setting up stalls, Wang Chen is also quite experienced.

He did not shout loudly or hang up eye-catching banners like other stall owners. Instead, he arranged the Talismans he refined last night according to the varieties one by one.

Then he sat back on the wicker chair, took out a goose feather fan and placed it on his knees, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Although Wang Chen is located in a remote place, there are a lot of monks who come to catch the morning market, so it doesn't take long for someone to appear in front of his stall.

"Huh?"

The visitor's eyes swept over Wang Chen's stall, showing an expression of surprise.

These Talismanss are classified into categories and placed on the long table. Each Spiritual Light has a lot of inner meaning and is almost perfect in appearance. Even if you look at it with the most critical eyes, you can't find any faults.

Among Marketplace, which is often full of fish and pearls, Talismans refined from Wang Chen is like gold in the gravel.

The light cannot be hidden at all!

"Hiss~"

The visitor took a closer look and couldn't help but gasped. "Fellow Daoist, the price of your talisman is too high!"

Wang Chen divides the tables used to set up stalls and display goods into three areas: low-level, intermediate and high-level.

The low-level spells are priced at two Lower Spirit each, the intermediate ones are five spirits, and the high-level ones are up to ten spirits!

Although the price of Myriad Cultivator City is high, the price of Tier 1 magic talisman corresponding to Qi Condensation stage is limitedly higher than other places.

This is mainly because making talismans is easy to get started, and the cost of learning is much lower than that of alchemy, weapon refining, beast control, puppets, etc. A large number of monks work part-time Talisman Master, and the output of Tier 1 magic talisman is huge, which naturally drives down the market price.

The price marked by Wang Chen is almost 50% higher than the market price, and the high-level spells are even more cruel!

It is not easy for everyone to earn spiritual stones these days. Most of the people who come to Marketplace are middle- and lower-class monks from Myriad Cultivator City.

Such a price is really discouraging.

Wang Chen didn't answer and directly threw out a mahogany card.

There are nine big words in the letter: The actual price is clearly stated and no counter-offering is allowed!

"Tsk!"

The visitor sneered, turned around and left.

Wang Chen didn't pay attention, and didn't even bother to look at the other party.

The batch of Talismans he took out were all handmade by Grandmaster level. Those who really know the goods will never find it too expensive.

What is Bige?

Bige would rather destroy everything than sell it at a discount.

If you like it, buy it, if you don't want to buy it, go away. If you buy more, you'll get a lower price!

The monks came to the Wang Chen stall one after another, but none of them actually bought anything.

Some people immediately retreated when they saw the price, and some tried to bargain with Wang Chen, but cursed and left when they didn't get a response.

There are also those who are hesitant, wanting to buy but hesitant.

After all, the price of three or five spiritual stones for a magic talisman is difficult for ordinary monks to afford.

As a result, from morning to noon, not a single Wang Chen Talismans was sold!

Wang Chen Ignoring the strange looks from the stall owners around him, he took out a red sandalwood tea table from his storage bag, placed it on the Ningshen incense burner and the red clay tea stove, and cooked a pot of Spiritual Tea for himself.

While sipping tea, I read Daoist books.

While wandering around the city two days ago, Wang Chen bought a lot of books from a bookstore.

It can keep him looking for a long time.

Although Wang Chen's business is extremely bleak, his appearance, dress and temperament distinguish him from the professional stall owners around him who are full of philistine atmosphere.

Just like a green lotus growing out of the mud!

In the afternoon, the transaction of Wang Chen was finally opened.

His first customer was a middle-aged monk. Although he was dressed rather shabbily, his eyes were sharp and his temperament was strong. He looked like he had experienced many battles. He was either Battle Cultivator or a hunting cultivator.

He took five Exorcism Talisman and five Meteor Fire Talisman, leaving twenty Lower Spirit.

With the first bet, Wang Chen's business suddenly showed a healthy development trend. When the stall was closed in the evening, he sold a lot of Talismans one after another.

These include some advanced spells.

For example Evil-Quelling Talisman.

The income exceeds three hundred Lower Spirit!

Wang Chen's Basic Talisman Crafting has already reached the level of Great Perfection level. The success rate of refining Tier 1 magic talisman is almost 100%. Coupled with the high selling price, the profit is quite considerable.

Wang Chen is quite satisfied with this.

It's just the beginning now. After his signature is launched, earning 30,000 spirit stones within half a year will not be a problem at all.

Of course, just 30,000 spirit stones are not enough. He has to rent North Mountain's cave abode for training.

Coupled with the usual cost of food and clothing, no matter how many spirit stones are used, it is still too much.

"Xiang has met Daoist friend."

Just as Wang Chen was putting away his stall and preparing to leave, a man in smart clothing appeared in front of him, clasped his fists and saluted. "My master wants to talk to you, please come with me."

Got targeted so quickly?

Wang Chen is somewhat unexpected.

He used Grandmaster level's talisman-making skills to fish for spiritual stones, and he had already anticipated such a possibility.

Unexpectedly, on the first day he set up his stall, someone would become interested in him.

"Idle people in the mountains are used to being at ease."

Wang Chen replied calmly, "If you don't like socializing with others, please go back."

After saying that, he ignored the other party and left Marketplace minding his own business.

Before walking very far, Wang Chen was keenly aware of a "tail" following behind him.

He blended into the bustling crowd, excited Grand Completion level's Breath Concealment Technique, and instantly disappeared from the sight of his pursuers.
