Wood Spirit Talisman Shop

Medicinal pills could not be sold.

Of what remained that could be bought and sold, cultivation methods were restricted by the Dao heart, while Array Formations were far too high-end; basically, only large companies would buy a whole set.

As for Magic Artifacts, he did not have enough start-up capital.

And so, all that was left was "talismans."

The Immortal Sect's development of talismans could be said to have reached the summit and scaled the peak, applying them flexibly to every aspect of society. Because within the Immortal Sect, many people, in order to focus on cultivation, would not split their attention to cultivate little life spells such as Cleaning Spell or disease-removal arts.

Talismans were the solidification of spells.

At the talisman factory where Chen Mobai's mother worked, the greatest profit every year came from "Flight Talismans."

Flight was every human being's dream, but Qi Cultivation Cultivators could not master the Flight Art, and so this talisman became the product with the highest purchase rate.

In the Immortal Sect, life talismans similar to Flight Talismans, Cleaning Talismans, and Direction Talismans were the ones with the best business.

As for Wood Armor Talismans and Green Arrow Talismans, the sort Chen Mobai had always bought, they were instead consistently unpopular products because there was very little fighting in the Immortal Sect.

Because demand was low, the price had never been able to rise.

But the Sky River Realm was different.

Direction Talismans, Cleaning Talismans—talismans that could not be used in battle were all trash.

This was the business opportunity Chen Mobai had his eye on.

He swept through the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop he had bought from before. The shopkeeper seemed to be a Talisman Master specialized in the wood element. In the shop, there were Grade 1 Low Rank Poison Talismans, Entangling Talismans, Wood Shield Talismans, Wood Prison Talismans, and Detox Talismans, all priced at 15 Merit Points each.

Before Chen Mobai obtained the Turtle Shell opportunity, he had relied on cutting Talisman Paper to earn pocket money. A dozen cut small sheets of Talisman Paper were the raw materials for these Grade 1 Low Rank talismans, and he could only sell them for 2 Merit Points.

However, this could not be called the merchant having a black heart either. After all, the main consumption in talismans was still "ink." Different talismans required different ink dyes to be mixed before they could be drawn, and the process was extremely complicated. If one were even slightly careless, all one's efforts might collapse in a single basket, requiring the ratio to be mixed all over again.

Of course, the ink required for mid- and low-grade talismans could basically already be produced on factory assembly lines, but the ink for those high-grade talismans still needed Talisman Masters to mix it by hand.

It was precisely because of this that the lowest price for Grade 1 High Rank talismans had already soared to 500 Merit Points each.

Chen Mobai looked over the only four talismans this talisman shop had.

Revival Talisman, Wood House Talisman, Wood Spirit Talisman, Ambush Talisman.

Among these, the "Revival Talisman" was equivalent to an enhanced version of Return Origin Spirit Water. It could restore expended spiritual power, and while restoring it, it would remove all negative conditions from the body, returning one to peak condition in an extremely short time. The selling price was 500 Merit Points each.

The "Wood House Talisman," meanwhile, was the best-selling life talisman. When used during a spring outing in the wilderness, a livable wooden house would appear instantly.

It could also be inscribed according to one's needs when the talisman was made: one room, one room and one hall, two rooms and one hall, three rooms and one hall, and it could even come with a large courtyard. The selling price was custom-made according to need, starting at 1,000 Merit Points for one room.

Chen Mobai had never heard of the "Wood Spirit Talisman." He read the introduction and could not help clicking his tongue in wonder.

After it was used, it could allow the wearer, while cultivating, to experience the cultivation speed of a wood-element Heaven Spirit Root. Unfortunately, the effect lasted only one hour, and the talisman's price had soared to 5,000 Merit Points.

The final Ambush Talisman was the only offensive talisman, but its price was lower, requiring only 3,000 Merit Points.

And aside from these four Grade 1 High Rank talismans, there was also a Grade 2 Low Rank treasure that guarded the shop.

Yi Wood Divine Thunder Talisman.

It was also an offensive talisman, and the price was a little low, only 50,000 Merit Points.

In South Stream Market, Chen Mobai had asked about the price of this kind of talisman; basically, they all started at fifty Spirit Stones.

He was of a mind to buy a Wood House Talisman and build the Wild Mountain over in the Sky River Realm into his second base besides the Water Mansion, but the price of the Wood House Talisman was truly too expensive, so he could only give up on it for now.

Chen Mobai bought 20 each of all five Grade 1 Low Rank talismans, and finally bought another Revival Talisman. In total, that cost him 2,000 Merit Points.

Seeing the balance on his card suddenly drop, however, he felt a different sort of satisfaction after spending money.

If these things were resold in the Sky River Realm, they would basically bring tenfold returns.

With sweet dreams of getting rich, Chen Mobai spent a long time before he finally stilled his mind, entered meditation, nourished his thoughts, and forged his spirit.

The next day.

After returning from school, Chen Mobai first went to Evergreen Pharmacy for a look. All the Medicinal Ingredients had already been gathered, and Qing Nü began to display her skills.

He did not disturb her much and left immediately.

Since the talismans had been bought online, and it would take a little time for them to be delivered to his home, Chen Mobai could only do some preliminary preparations for setting up a stall today.

At the same time, he would conveniently dispose of all those tattered things on him.

South Stream Market.

This time, when he came over, he did not see the hemp-clothed youth surnamed Liu. He had probably gotten business. However, the other guide youth from last time was there. When he saw Chen Mobai, his eyes lit up, but then he seemed to think of something and did not dare come over.

But Chen Mobai needed his help, so he beckoned to him.

"Senior, were you looking for me?"

Holding an anxious feeling, Qi Er walked over and first bowed to Chen Mobai.

"I have some things on hand that I want to sell, but they're rather mixed. Setting up a stall would be too slow. Do you have any channels?"

"May I ask, Senior, do you want it fast or slow?"

"How does fast work, and how does slow work?"

Chen Mobai's interest was piqued, and he continued asking.

"If fast, then naturally you sell directly to those Twenty-Six Shops in South Stream Market. As long as there's no problem with the origins of the items, they won't refuse anyone who comes. If slow, then you hand them over to the stall heads and consign them there. The stall heads will, according to the value of the items, first give you half the Spirit Stones. As for the remaining half, after the consigned items are sold, they'll take ten percent and then settle the balance with you."

The so-called stall heads were the few people with the highest prestige among those who set up stalls in South Stream Market.

But in reality, these people were also all disciples under the Six Major Powers, merely making it convenient for them to control the upper and lower markets of the entire South Stream Market.

Qi Er explained the ins and outs of this to Chen Mobai.

"Which six are the Six Major Powers?"

If it were before, Chen Mobai definitely would not have asked such a common-sense question, but when he came last time, he had already learned that cultivators from other countries often came to this market. Pretending to be an outsider would not draw attention.

"Senior, you may not be too familiar with our Yun Country's local Four Foundation Establishment Families, but you definitely know the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect."

Chen Mobai really did know. It was written in Introduction to Major Sects of the Eastern Wasteland. These two were both among the Seven Great Sects. The Divine Wood Sect had even split off from the Five Elements Sect, and when disciples of the two sects met, they basically had to fight.

"Not bad. I'll give you this Short Blade. I have a Qi Cultivation method and a few bottles of pills on hand that need to be dealt with. There's definitely no problem with their origins. Do you think those big shops will accept them?"

Qi Er took the Short Blade Chen Mobai gave him, and his eyes brightened slightly. Although this thing was not worth ten taels of gold, if he could help this senior complete the business, the latter might have even more rewards to bestow when pleased, so he began helping with full motivation.
