Zheng Fa carried the Talisman Seals and looked at it for a long time.
This is a seal, blood red all over, square and square, and the Golden Armor Talisman pattern on it is also a little blurry.
"Senior Brother Li, why are you still standing? Please sit down!" Seeing Li Nuo still looking at him anxiously, Zheng Fa said politely, "Tell me carefully what is going on with Talisman Seals."
Li Nuo was stunned, as if he didn't expect Zheng Fa to be so interested in Talisman Seals.
It seemed that he couldn't speak anymore. His lips were mumbling for a long time and he couldn't utter a single word.
But Zheng Fa misunderstood, he said, "This should be Senior Brother Li's family heirloom Secret Method, I was rude."
"No, it's not!" Hearing this, Li Nuo waved his hands repeatedly. "What family heirloom Secret Method, this thing... Nine Mountains Sect no one likes it."
When he said this, he could not hide his dejection.
Zheng Fa frowned slightly and looked at Talisman Seals, a little puzzled. "Is there anything wrong with this Talisman Seals?"
Senior Brother Li nodded honestly and said, "Junior brother, see how this Talisman Seals was made?"
Zheng Fa looked at the color of Talisman Seals, with a somewhat uncertain tone. "Blood?"
"Yes, this Talisman Seals is actually made from a mixture of spirit beast blood." Li Nuo said frankly, "But each Talisman Diagram requires a different proportion of spirit beast blood. If there is a difference, when Talisman Diagram is engraved on it, an explosion will occur."
"... What about this Talisman Seals, the number and grade of Talisman Diagram painted on it?" Zheng Fa asked.
"Qi Refinement First Layer monks can draw thirty Yellow-grade Golden Armor Talisman in one day with it."
Zheng Fa is a little confused.
He also thought about the problem of Talisman Seals brush.
But after thinking about it, I realized that the matter of drawing talismans is really inseparable from the monks - the spiritual talisman requires Divine Sense to capture the Talisman Diagram in the void, and also uses spiritual power to draw Talisman Diagram on the talisman paper.
Judging from Zheng Fa's experience, Qi Refining Realm monks are often limited by their spiritual power, and the amount of Talisman Diagram they can draw in one day is limited.
For example, if you use Zheng Fa or Qi Refinement First Layer, you can draw three talismans in one day.
"So, this Talisman Seals uses the Spiritual Qi in the spirit beast's blood to replace the monk's spiritual power?"
Zheng Fa asked.
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Junior brother made it clear, that's exactly what it is."
Zheng Fa gently placed Talisman Seals on the table, his face inevitably a little disappointed - the effect of Talisman Seals was much worse than he imagined.
Li Nuo looked at him, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Then I want to ask, how many talismans can be drawn with one Talisman Seals?" Zheng Fa asked another key question.
Li Nuo looked even more embarrassed.
"According to my father's estimation, one Talisman Seals like this can print almost a thousand Yellow-grade symbols."
"How much does this Talisman Seals cost?"
"Six Spirit Stone."
Li Nuo's voice is lower.
Zheng Fa After all, Golden Armor Talisman is a very common talisman in the Nine Mountains Sect.
The price is not expensive. One thousand Yellow-grade Golden Armor Talisman can be sold for about thirty-three Spirit Stone, maybe even less.
If you include the loss of talisman paper and spiritual ink, it would cost almost thirty Spirit Stone.
The net profit is not even three Spirit Stone...
This thing is a complete loss!
It seemed that Zheng Fa finally understood, and Li Nuo's face gradually became a little despairing.
"Senior Brother Li, what do you want to do when you come to me?"
"I..." Li Nuo's voice was inaudible. "I want junior brother to lend me some money..."
"Study Talisman Seals?"
"Yes."
Li Nuo lowered his head, as if he found it difficult to speak.
"Junior brother, I don't want more. Ten yuan a month, no, five yuan Spirit Stone is enough."
"If there is a new Talisman Seals, maybe the cost can be reduced."
"When the time comes, junior brother, if you hold Talisman Seals, you will be able to make... make money..."
Li Nuo I can't go on talking about this.
He seemed to suddenly think of Zheng Fa's current identity - a disciple of Sect Leader, deeply trusted by Senior Sister Zhang, and a well-known genius Talisman Master in the sect.
How could you like these three melons and two dates?
"Brother, let me think about this matter carefully for a few days."
When Li Nuo heard this, he felt that this was Zheng Fa's polite refusal.
"Then I won't disturb junior brother." He didn't beg, he just stood up and said sadly.
"Senior brother, you probably misunderstood what I meant." Zheng Fa said, "I mean, it's not appropriate for me to pay personally, but it's best if General Affairs Pavilion or Talisman Arts Pavilion pays for it."
"Ah?" Li Nuo didn't understand the difference, but he understood one thing. "Junior brother, did you agree to lend money?"
"You can't borrow money, but you can invest." Zheng Fa explained, "The sect will provide the money, and you will provide Talisman Seals's technology. If we can make money at that time, we will talk about how to divide the money."
These words made Li Nuo understand but not understand.
What I understand is that some Marketplace stores do this - hire a skilled monk, such as a Alchemist practitioner, and then allocate shares to the other party.
But what I don't understand is that their technology can definitely make money.
As for myself...
"What should I do if I lose?" He was no longer confident and said, "Will the sect be willing?"
"Investment is always risky." Zheng Fa said with a smile, "The ugly thing is, if you make money, the sect will definitely get the majority, and the money you get will definitely be very small compared to it."
Zheng Fa's words did not hit Li Nuo at all.
"As long as Junior Brother you can get me the money to study Talisman Seals, I don't need any money in the future!"
He said excitedly, his eyes a little red.
After sending Li Nuo away, Zheng Fa thought about it and walked towards Senior Sister Zhang's small courtyard.
Only then did he remember that except for the day when he took up the post of the Talisman Arts Pavilion's lecturer, he hadn't seen Senior Sister Zhang for a long time in the past few days, and he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
I don't know what senior sister is busy with recently.
When he arrived at Senior Sister Zhang's house, he realized that this senior sister was not busy with anything.
Oh, no, I'm busy enjoying myself.
Senior Sister Zhang In the small pavilion in the backyard.
She and Senior Sister Yuan leaned crookedly on the guardrail.
The stone table in the small pavilion was filled with food—delicious spiritual fruits, chewy-looking preserved meat, hot cakes, and preserved fruits in small white ceramic jars.
While the two were eating, they were whispering to each other, talking and laughing, and it was as comfortable and relaxed as a mundane bestie gathering.
He has seen Senior Sister Yuan like this before.
But this Senior Sister Zhang... beyond Zheng Fa's imagination.
I always feel like something is wrong.
"Senior Sister Zhang... you..."
The two senior sisters were not surprised when they saw Zheng Fa walking in. Senior Sister Yuan even waved to him.
Zheng Fa As soon as he stepped into the booth, Senior Sister Yuan stuffed him with a spiritual fruit.
"Is it delicious?"
Watching Zheng Fa swallow the pulp in his mouth, Senior Sister Yuan asked with a smile.
"It's delicious." Zheng Fa nodded sincerely. Not only was this spiritual fruit delicious, he could even feel that this mouthful of pulp entered his throat and directly turned into a stream of pure spiritual power, making the spiritual power in his Dantian a lot deeper.
"This is five Spirit Stone." Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said, "Remember to return it to me."
"..." Zheng Fa held the spirit fruit, opened his mouth, and looked at his belly.
It's like I want to spit out the pulp.
Looking at Senior Sister Zhang again, I found that she had a smile on her face, and her words were obviously a joke.
But...
Is this the life of Golden Core True Person?
Think about how Li Nuo almost knelt down for him just for the five yuan a month Spirit Stone.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but have a complicated expression.
"What did you think of?"
Zheng Fa didn't hide it, he came to Senior Sister Zhang just to discuss Li Nuo's matter.
His idea is that funding the research of Li Nuo is actually a trivial matter.
But there are rules to be set in this matter - how to encourage Nine Mountains Sect disciples to research, who will pay for it, and how the final proceeds will be distributed.
Everyone should have a charter.
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhang rejected him directly.
"Li Nuo is not possible."
"Ah?" Zheng Fa was stunned and asked, "He and Senior Sister, you..."
"No, his father used to be from our family, so there is no old grudge. But Talisman Seals can't."
Zheng Fa was silent. He looked at Senior Sister Zhang, knowing that the other party would not reject him for no reason.
"Talisman Seals I know, we need to use spirit beast blood." Senior Sister Zhang didn't mince words, he said directly, "Now spirit beast blood is getting more and more expensive... It's not as cheap as hiring ten Qi Refining Realm disciples."
Good guy!
The blood of spiritual beasts is expensive, but the blood and sweat of our Nine Mountains Sect disciples are not expensive...
What is the low cost advantage of humans being inferior to beasts?
But Zheng Fa also knows that Senior Sister Zhang is really right about this.
"This junior brother also thought that if Talisman Seals still has this efficiency, of course it won't work." Zheng Fa mused, "But technology is always improving. I think the investment is not big, and it may be possible to reduce costs and improve efficiency in the future."
Zheng Fa has a good mentality.
He wants to fund research on Talisman Seals, mainly because this kind of productivity-improving thinking is too rare in the Xuanwei Realm - as for guaranteeing that this thing can be successful, he is not sure.
But when it comes to research, who can guarantee 100% success?
"If it's what you said, it would be even worse." Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Zhang shook his head and said, "Li Nuo's popularity among Marketplace is very poor. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"After Talisman Seals comes out, won't those Talisman Master have no work to do?"
"..."
Zheng Fa finally knows why Senior Sister Zhang doesn't agree with Li Nuo's name.
Every time a new technology appears, a group of people will suffer losses.
Talisman Seals The ones with the greatest influence are these Nine Mountains Sect Talisman Master.
Especially at least half of the Qi Refining Realm disciples in the sect rely on drawing talismans to survive...
The spiritual materials for making spiritual talismans are also limited, and the demand for the Xuanwei Realm is not endless - this leads to the high probability that Talisman Master will be unemployed after the emergence of Talisman Seals.
"If it's someone else, I have nothing to say if you say you want to support him." Senior Sister Zhang said, "If it's Li Nuo... at least General Affairs Pavilion won't contribute the money."
Zheng Fa nodded silently.
General Affairs Pavilion and Talisman Master have a close relationship, and they must take care of the feelings of Talisman Master.
Xuanwei Realm monks are, after all, farmers or handicraftsmen.
That's why it's inevitable to have a self-deprecating mentality.
For some new technologies, they are not as happy to see their success as Zheng Fa.
Especially... when this group of people not only have the heart to maintain their own interests, but also have the strength to maintain their own interests.
It is Senior Sister Zhang who has been suppressing his contemporaries all the way and has never been afraid of anyone.
Everyone will advise Zheng Fa to think deeply.
Seeing that Zheng Fa understood, Senior Sister Zhang comforted him, "It's a good idea for you to have this idea, but this matter..."
"I still want to try this."
Zheng Fa said suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Senior Sister Zhang, just like Uncle-Master Pang said... Xuanwei Realm is going to be in chaos."
Zheng Fa explained.
Senior Sister Zhang's eyes darkened a bit.
"In the past, it would have been the same with or without this, but when it comes to a real fight..." Zheng Fa explained, "Technology that can quickly create magic talismans may change the situation of the battle."
"That's it? It can now draw the Yellow-grade symbol..."
Senior Sister Yuan muttered.
"Maybe not, but as you said Senior Sister Zhang, the road ahead has been exhausted. We have to find another way... It's okay to try."
Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a while, but still shook his head.
Zheng Fa was a little disappointed, and he understood Senior Sister Zhang's rejection.
Indeed... the problem with Talisman Seals is no longer the cost, but that it will offend almost all Nine Mountains Sect and Talisman Master, and may not get any good results.
"Don't show up, I'll do it."
"Ah?"
"Your cultivation level is still too low now. It's not a good thing to offend these disciples." Senior Sister Zhang said softly, "If I tell Spirit Stone, they can only hold back what they have to say."
Senior Sister Yuan looked at Zheng Fa, then at Senior Sister Zhang, with his mouth wide open.
She suddenly Spiritual Opportunity moved and said, "Senior sister, I also have an idea, but there are shortcomings Spirit Stone..."
Senior Sister Zhang just looked at her and said nothing.
"..." Senior Sister Yuan picked up a piece of preserved fruit and silently blocked his mouth.
Zheng Fa looked at Senior Sister Zhang and felt that if this continued, he would have no choice but to marry her with tears in his eyes.
