Chapter 100 My last name is Yuan
A simple Origin-Consolidating Pill made Zheng Fa realize his true poverty.
According to the records of Senior Sister Zhang in <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>, each time a Talisman is condensed in Dantian, one needs to take drugs - and probably because of drug resistance, the number of drugs taken increases incrementally.
Before Qi Refinement Third Layer, one Origin-Consolidating Pill can condense one Talisman.
But after condensing three Talisman, two Origin-Consolidating Pill are needed.
When it came to the last four Talisman, I had to take three Origin-Consolidating Pill.
Zheng Fa A rough calculation shows that three to four hundred Spirit Stone are needed to complete this Foundation Establishment method.
With this price, Zheng Fa doubts how Senior Sister Zhang could have mastered it before Foundation Establishment.
Oh, I am a real disciple of Nascent Soul, so that's okay.
Step out of the Nine Revolutions Pavilion, Zheng Fa and walk towards Marketplace at Taniguchi - if you want to make Spirit Stone, the only way you can think of now is selling charms.
He's going to do a market survey.
Marketplace is the busiest place in the Nine Mountains Sect.
The streets, which are not narrow, are crowded with people passing each other.
From the shops on both sides, the shouts of the waiters came one after another.
They sell everything.
Spirit Artifact, elixir, Law Treasure, spiritual grass...
There are even some very unorthodox things:
Zheng Fa I saw a shop selling puppets. What can I say about the puppets inside? They are very anthropomorphic, beautiful, and save on fabric.
At first glance, he doesn't look like a serious puppet.
He walked to the door of a small store selling elixirs and asked, "Does your store sell Origin-Consolidating Pill?"
The shop owner looked at Zheng Fa for a long time. "Origin-Consolidating Pill? Nine Revolutions Pavilion The one that sells twenty pieces of Spirit Stone?"
"Yes."
The shop owner laughed at himself, "The most expensive elixir in my shop is only one piece of Spirit Stone, rare elixirs like Origin-Consolidating Pill... I just have some for sale, do you dare to eat them?"
"..."
Indeed, you can't take drugs randomly, you won't save much money, and you may lose your life.
He walked around Marketplace and found that the prices of the items sold in the shops here were indeed not high.
The highest unit price is only one or two yuan Spirit Stone.
Compared with twenty Spirit Stone and Origin-Consolidating Pill, it is very affordable and high quality.
What makes Zheng Fa feel strange is that there is no store selling Talisman in Marketplace, not even one.
When he reached the end of Marketplace, he saw that Marketplace was more than just the rows of houses in front - there was also a place similar to a market.
The rows of stalls are like blocks next to each other, extending neatly from Marketplace to the river.
There are all kinds of things sold at the stalls.
Broken Law Artifact.
I don't know if the spiritual herbs are new or not.
Books piled together in a messy manner.
The only thing they have in common is that they all look worthless.
Zheng Fa I even saw someone selling pancakes--the kind of ordinary meat pancakes that exist in the world.
He felt as if he had walked from a luxury store to a general mall, and then to the wholesale market.
The most popular stalls in the market are those selling Talisman. At least six out of ten sell this stuff.
... The business of selling talismans seems a bit convoluted.
Zheng Fa walked around and found that the stall selling Talisman's business was obviously worse than other stalls. There were almost no people - there was even a queue in front of Perfected Person's meat pie stall!
He squatted next to a Talisman stall and looked at the talismans on the stall.
They are all Yellow-grade symbols of average quality, and the types are also very common.
The stall owner was slumped on a small recliner doing nothing. When he saw a customer finally arrived, he immediately stood up and asked enthusiastically, "Senior brother, what do you want?"
"What's the price of this?"
"Golden Armor Talisman one Spirit Stone fifteen."
"Spirit Eye Talisman one Spirit Stone twenty."
"Earth Escape Talisman one Spirit Stone ten."
"..."
After listening to his introduction, Zheng Fa calculated that the cost of a skilled Talisman Master talisman is about thirty pieces of one Spirit Stone. The price of the Yellow-grade talisman here is almost between ten and twenty pieces of one Spirit Stone.
Almost half the profit.
It doesn't seem too bad?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the stall owner thought he thought it was expensive, "Brother, don't think that I quoted the price randomly. My stall also requires rent. Every time I make a sale, I have to pay Nine Mountains Sect..."
"... How much profit is there from your business?"
Zheng Fa asked.
The stall owner said with a grimace, "10% profit."
"..."
In other words, you have to sell more than three hundred Talisman to earn one Spirit Stone.
Look at the deserted business at this stall. How long will it take for these more than 300 talismans to be sold?
"To tell you the truth, if I hadn't rented this stall from my senior brother out of confusion, I would have never wanted to do this business." The stall owner pointed to the surrounding stalls selling Talisman: "There are too many Nine Mountains Sect Talisman Master!"
Zheng Fa looked around.
He finally understood why there was no store selling Talisman in Marketplace - if the store rent was more expensive, he would be trapped by these stalls.
The stall owner looked at Zheng Fa, and it didn't seem like he wanted to buy Talisman. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "Do you also want to do this business?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, a little embarrassed to be seen out.
"New disciple?"
"Yes."
"... It turns out it's my junior brother. I listened to my senior brother's advice and should first calm down and practice drawing talismans well - and then get into the muddy water." When the stall owner heard that he was new, he knew that there was nothing to gain. He immediately lazily lay back on the chair and pointed to Zheng Fa: "Every new disciple is poor and wants to set up a stall here - but in the end, very few can last for three months. This business is not something new disciples can get involved in."
...Nine Mountains Sect Is starting a business so difficult?
"Junior Brother Zheng?"
Before Zheng Fa could speak, a somewhat confused voice came from a distance. Zheng Fa looked up and saw that it was Han Qi and the three of them.
"Senior Brother Han."
"Junior brother Zheng, what are you..." Han Qi looked at the Talisman stall in front of Zheng Fa, a little confused. "You still need to buy these things?"
The senior brother who set up the stall became a little angry when he heard this.
"What do you mean? I have worked in this Marketplace for ten years, and I am well-known... Who wouldn't say that I am good at drawing talisman!"
"..." Han Qi glanced at him with a strange look on his face. "Junior Brother Zheng is a good Profound-grade Talisman Master, why do you want to buy these Yellow-grade talismans from you?"
"?"
"What is Junior Brother Zheng today?"
"I want to make some Spirit Stone." Zheng Fa asked one more question, "Senior brother, do you know what the price of the Profound-grade charm is on the market?"
"Profound-grade talisman?" Han Qi thought for a moment and said, "I can't say the price, but it's basically ten times less than the Yellow-grade talisman."
Zheng Fa felt a little relieved.
Just now I saw the situation in Marketplace, Zheng Fa was quite worried.
After all, this Nine Mountains Sect Talisman Master looks a bit too curly.
According to the price of this Profound-grade talisman, if he draws a hundred talismans a month, he should still be able to earn a dozen or twenty Spirit Stone.
"Junior brother, are you... short of money?" Han Qi hesitated and asked.
"That's what I said..." Zheng Fa glanced at him. "Isn't there a shortage of senior brothers?"
He still remembered how this man deceived new disciples on the ship.
Han Qi seemed to have thought of this as well. He laughed dryly and then seemed a little confused.
A few people walked around the market again, and then walked outside Marketplace. A small building with a closed door attracted Zheng Fa's attention.
The location of this small building is excellent, just at the exit of Marketplace. If you open a store here, the business will probably be good.
But the door of the small building was ajar, and there were two men guarding the door. Not only did they not mean to welcome guests, they seemed to be preventing anyone from entering accidentally.
"That's where the Marketplace manager works." Han Qi followed his gaze and seemed to know his doubts. "If there is a dispute in Marketplace, someone will be sent here to deal with it. I heard that the house is where Marketplace keeps accounts and ordinary people cannot enter. You should also be careful - Junior Brother Zheng, you may think that he is just a steward, but Marketplace is the foundation of my Nine Mountains Sect."
Zheng Fa nodded, he understood what Han Qi meant.
Now Hundred Immortals Alliance has been at peace for a thousand years, and commerce has become extremely developed.
Just look at the traffic of Marketplace and you will know that most of the income of the Nine Mountains Sect may come from this.
Marketplace's position as a manager is a bit condescending.
"Senior brother, have you never seen this steward?"
"No." Han Qi said, "But I heard that the manager is often away from here and is a hands-off shopkeeper."
When the two of them were walking by the small building, Zheng Fa suddenly heard someone calling him, "Zheng Fa?"
"?"
Zheng Fa looked up, a window on the second floor opened, and Senior Sister Yuan's face emerged from it. She waved to Zheng Fa: "Come up!"
"..." Zheng Fa looked back at Han Qi.
"Senior Sister Yuan?" He asked hesitantly, "Can I enter this place?"
"What can't be done? This place is under my control!" Senior Sister Yuan saw him whining and was a little impatient. "I have something to do with you!"
The two disciples at the door looked at each other, took two steps left and right, and signaled Zheng Fa to go in.
Zheng Fa hesitated for a moment and walked into the small building.
Han Qi behind him originally didn't dare to enter, but the two disciples probably thought they were in a group and kept staring at him. When he didn't move, they urged him impatiently, "I want you to come in!"
Han Qi could only follow Zheng Fa into the small building tremblingly.
On the second floor of the small building, there is a study room that looks like it is used for official business. There is a large table in it - a pile of account books are scattered on the table.
Senior Sister Yuan's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at the account book.
"Senior Sister Yuan?"
Zheng Fa was a little confused as to why she was looking for him, but he saw Senior Sister Yuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of resentment.
"?"
"It was you who gave Senior Sister Zhang those questions?" she asked quietly.
"... Yes."
Snap!
"That's why she doesn't like my account books! There are so many! I have to do all the calculations!" Senior Sister Yuan slapped her hand on the account books. "She said it was too simple! This! Where! It's! Simple! Simple!"
"..."
Zheng Fa understood. Because of those questions, Senior Sister Zhang's happiness threshold increased.
So Senior Sister Yuan's special calculator for laziness - on strike!
The former hands-off shopkeeper Senior Sister Yuan could only sit here and calculate.
Senior Sister Yuan stared at Zheng Fa fiercely for a long time, and suddenly looked at Han Qi behind him, as if he thought of something, his expression became even more angry.
"Han Qi?"
"Sister?"
Han Qi's face was a little surprised. After all, this Marketplace manager was also a big shot in his heart. He actually recognized him?
"You have a good relationship with Zheng Fa?"
Han Qi rolled his eyes.
Zheng Fa seems to be quite familiar with this senior sister...
That's worthy of praise!
"The first time I met Junior Brother Zheng, I felt that he was like a dragon or a phoenix among people, and I admired him very much!"
"So Junior Brother Zheng is better than me, right?"
"?"
"Didn't you hear what Zheng Fa called me?" Senior Sister Yuan's eyes became dangerous. "My surname is Yuan."
"Master Yuan... brother?"
Han Qi's body trembled, remembering that he and Zheng Fa were talking and laughing downstairs just now and this person saw it.
Suddenly I had a panicky feeling of being caught in an act of rape.
"Zheng Fa, these three people were originally mine! You robbed..."
Han Qi The three of them listened with pale faces.
"I just robbed it."
Han Qi three people. "?"
"But you took Senior Sister Zhang... that's a bit too much!"
Senior Sister Yuan looked at Zheng Fa as if he were looking at a mistress who was greedy and was poaching her.
