After Li Yuan settled down in Yunyang Marketplace, the first thing he did was to run around Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area in the south of Fangshi and visit several stalls that often sell animal skins and Spirit Herb.
The price of Yunyang Marketplace's hide is nearly 20% higher than that of Qinghe Market.
The reason is very simple. Qinghe Market's Wang Family and Li Family have been fighting for more than half a year. The Demon Beast riot and the frequent monster hunting on the front line have reduced the supply of animal skins, and the price has been pushed very low for a time.
Yunyang Marketplace is not affected by this. The monster hunting Rogue Cultivator is shipped step by step. The supply is stable and the price is naturally high.
The skin of the gray-maned badger costs six spiritual stones in Qinghefang City, but it costs over seven yuan here. The skin of the iron-spine hyena is nearly three yuan more expensive. The difference between the horned lizard's skin is smaller, only about one more spiritual stone.
It's expensive, but when you divide it into the cost of each talisman skin, the difference isn't that big.
The price of Spirit Herb is actually cheaper than Qinghe Market. A bundle of Spirit Stone costs two and a half yuan, which saves almost half a yuan.
After returning to the yard, Li Yuan spent an afternoon processing animal skins and making talisman skins.
The process is the same as before: degreasing, soaking in medicinal solution, spiritual power penetration, pressing and drying.
After the talisman skin is dry the next day, start Talisman Making.
Fireball Talisman, Vajra Talisman, Rejuvenation Talisman, Qi Gathering Talisman, Heart-Locking Talisman, Blood-Replenishing Talisman, six kinds of painting in rotation. Major Accomplishment's technique and self-made Talisman Making leather, the success rate is stable at 90%. More than twenty finished products were produced in one morning.
Spirit-Refining Talisman also painted two pieces. Golden Talisman Paper is the remaining material saved from Alchemist He before, so I used one less piece.
In the evening, Li Yuan divided the finished products and went out to sell them.
He did not go to Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area to set up a stall.
You can indeed make more money by setting up a stall. The retail price of Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area is 20-30% higher than the purchase price in the store. Fireball Talisman of my own quality can be sold for three or four yuan Spirit Stone in retail, but the purchase price in the store is only more than three yuan.
But setting up a stall takes time.
From spreading the cloth to closing the stall, you have to bargain with the Rogue Cultivator who come and go, inspect the goods, and make change. It takes most of the day. During this time, you use Talisman Making or practice, and the value of the output is far higher than the extra profit.
Li Yuan chose to sell on behalf of the company.
During the time he lived in Yunyang Marketplace before, he had already dealt with several Talisman Shop shops. There were many Talisman shops on the main street, and the commission ratios ranged from half to 10%. As long as the quality passed the test, he could sell them.
Li Yuan went to the buying shop where Talisman was sold last time.
The shopkeeper was still the lean middle-aged man. When he saw Li Yuan coming in, he stood up from behind the counter.
"Here we go again."
Li Yuan placed Talisman on the counter.
The shopkeeper reached out and pressed on the top ones, felt Spiritual Qi Density, and nodded.
"The quality is good, the same as last time."
The abacus crackled for a while, and then gave Spirit Stone.
Spirit Stone is coded well, Li Yuan is stored in the storage bag.
In addition to this purchase shop, Li Yuan also went to two other stores.
One is Ziyuan Trading Firm in the middle of the main street, which specializes in the sales of medium and high-quality Talisman. Spirit-Refining Talisman sells well when hung there.
The other company is on the tail of East Street. It is smaller in scale, but its acquisition speed is fast and it can be settled on the spot. It is suitable for volume trading.
Several shops came down and sold all the Talisman that day.
Similar days repeated themselves.
During the day, I process animal skins and make talisman skins, Talisman Making. In the evening, I send them to several shops in batches for sale. I go to Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area every now and then to replenish a batch of animal skins and Spirit Herb.
After going back and forth, the shopkeepers and clerks of several shops became familiar with Li Yuan.
The shopkeeper of the buying shop later even skipped the inspection of the goods. He took the Li Yuan and Talisman and charged them directly at the highest price without looking through them.
The shopkeepers at Ziyuan Trading Firm always have a chat every time they meet. Sometimes they tell Li Yuan in advance which Talisman are selling well and which Talisman are slow to sell.
Several resident stall owners of Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area also got to know Li Yuan. The seller of animal skins knew that he would come every few days, so he saved the good ones in advance. The stall owner of Spirit Herb sometimes came to him when new products came in and asked him if he wanted them.
Life is passing leisurely and Spirit Stone is making steady money.
But there are also a lot of bills.
Cultivation requires Medicinal Pill. Qi Gathering Pill is the most commonly used auxiliary practice Medicinal Pill. A bottle of five pieces of Spirit Stone costs 20 yuan, which can be used for about five days. The inventory of Fiend Essence Pill is also being consumed, two to three pieces per day, and is used in conjunction with Fiend Qi Body Tempering and Iron Ox Technique for practice.
These are daily expenses. Calculated, it costs about ten yuan Spirit Stone every day.
What really made Li Yuan stop and settle accounts was another expenditure.
After practicing that night, Li Yuan took out Origin Breaking Pill's Pill Formula from his storage bag, spread it out on the table and read it over.
The seven-flavor ingredients. Spirit Origin Fruit are already available, and the three-flavor auxiliary ingredients are also available.
It still lacks the regular main ingredients of the three flavors.
Emerald Heart Lotus, Nine-Turn Lingzhi, Purple Mansion Profound Liquid.
I have always known that these three items are different, but I have not specifically inquired about the specific prices. I have visited many shops in the market in the past few days and asked about several medicinal materials Merchant Guild.
Emerald Heart Lotus, one thousand two to one thousand five hundred Spirit Stone, depending on the appearance.
Emerald Heart Lotus, one thousand two to one thousand five hundred Spirit Stone, depending on the appearance.
Nine-Turn Lingzhi, starting from one thousand Spirit Stone for fifty years and above, and going up to two thousand for hundred years.
Purple Mansion Profound Liquid, one bottle ranges from 800 to 1,000 Spirit Stone, depending on the purity.
The three items added together are at least three thousand Spirit Stone. If they are in good condition, four thousand or even more.
Li Yuan calculated the current income and expenditure. If we continue to spend like this, it will take about one or two years to save enough Spirit Stone.
For most Rogue Cultivator, this threshold will never be reached in a lifetime. Some old Rogue Cultivator that have been built for thirty or forty years can only afford half a lifetime of savings to buy one of the main materials.
But Li Yuan still feels that it is too slow.
But there's no point in rushing. Spirit Stone was earned piece by piece.
What we can do is to continue to improve the efficiency of Talisman Making, expand sales channels, and reduce expenses.
Li Yuan put Pill Formula away without worrying about it anymore.
The next morning, Li Yuan went out to the Li Shop shop in the south section of the main street.
It's the same guy, wearing a dark gray short robe, with the same numbers Hidden Pattern and Li Family Token on the collar.
"Iron Wall Pill."
The clerk dug out the porcelain bottle from under the counter.
"A bottle of five pieces, fifty Spirit Stone."
"Two bottles, please."
One hundred Spirit Stone was put down and two bottles of Iron Wall Pill were put into the storage bag.
Go back to the yard and close the door.
Pour out a Iron Wall Pill and put it into your mouth.
The pill enters the abdomen, and burning heat explodes from the bottom of the stomach, drilling into the bones of the limbs along the spine. Bone Marrow Tempering's Affix amplifies the effect of the medicine by 30%, and Spirit Liquid Enrichment increases the spiritual power by another 30%.
Iron Wall Body Refining Art is running.
The spiritual power is poured into the muscles Deep Layer along the path of Cultivation Method, and the absorption channel opened by Iron Wall Pill allows the spiritual power to drive straight in. Spirit-Blood Dual Cultivation of Blood Coagulation Pill allows Qi and Blood to follow it simultaneously, and Qi and Blood and spiritual power are washed alternately between Muscle Fibers.
Once, twice, three times, four times.
After each walk, the fiber density of the muscles Deep Layer is increasing.
In the next few days, Li Yuan will use one Iron Wall Pill every day to practice with Iron Wall Body Refining Art.
Set aside two or three hours to practice Talisman Making during the day, and practice Spirit Guiding Art at night to improve your cultivation.
The effect of Iron Wall Pill was fully amplified under the dual support of Bone Marrow Tempering and Spirit Liquid Enrichment, and the progress of Iron Wall Body Refining Art increased rapidly.
On the night of the ninth day, Li Yuan finished running Iron Wall Body Refining Art for the last time that day and got up.
He moved his shoulders and wrists and clenched his fists.
The changes are obvious.
It's not an improvement in one part, but an improvement as a whole. From the fingers to the forearms to the shoulders to the trunk to the legs and feet, the density and toughness of every muscle is much stronger than it was nine days ago.
When the fists are clenched, the sense of strength in the knuckles and forearms is extremely substantial. The muscle lines under the skin are more distinct than before. They don't feel like they are bulging, but tight and dense, as if they have been compressed.
Panel jumped a little.
[Cultivation Method: Iron Wall Body Refining Art-Mastery(0/800)]
Mastery.
Iron Wall Body Refining Art From Proficiency to Mastery, the most critical change is not in strength, but in the coordination between spiritual power and muscles.
In the Proficiency stage, the spiritual power needs to be infused into the muscles Deep Layer and Iron Wall Pill needs to open the absorption channel. Normally, without the assistance of Medicinal Pill, the spiritual power can only penetrate into the muscles Middle Layer.
After Mastery, those absorption channels that were repeatedly opened by Iron Wall Pill are no longer completely closed.
Even if you don't take Medicinal Pill, the spiritual power can still penetrate into the muscles Deep Layer, but the speed is much slower than when Medicinal Pill is present. However, the channel itself has been permanently widened, and the effect will be better when you take Iron Wall Pill again in the future.
Qi and Blood also rose accordingly.
After Iron Wall Body Refining Art Mastery, the efficiency of mobilizing Qi and Blood when Cultivation Method is running is nearly 30% higher than in the Proficiency stage. Qi and Blood no longer passively follows the spiritual power, but actively cooperates with the rhythm of the spiritual power. The synergy between the two is like the meshing of gears.
The increase in the total volume of Qi and Blood is very intuitive. Li Yuan closed his eyes and felt the capacity of the Blood-Qi Sea, which was more than 20% thicker than before.
Qi-Blood Self-Generation, Qi-Blood Fullness, Blood Qi Resurgence, Blood-Qi Nourishment, and several Permanent Affix related to Qi and Blood have been operating After Iron Wall Body Refining Art Mastery, there is another layer of optimization for the operation of Qi and Blood. Several lines are intertwined, and the level of Qi and Blood is improved much more than any one of them alone.
Li Yuan put away the remaining Iron Wall Pill. There are two pieces left in the second bottle, keep them for later use.
It will take longer to accumulate after Mastery, and the marginal effect of Iron Wall Pill will decrease, so don't rush it for a while.
Return to the bed, sit down cross-legged, and run Spirit Guiding Art.
The Spirit-Blood Dual Cultivation of Blood Coagulation Pill allows Qi and Blood to run synchronously with the spiritual power. The Qi and Blood after Iron Wall Body Refining Art Mastery operates more efficiently. Qi and Blood follows wherever the spiritual power goes. The two streams are almost completely synchronized.
Cultivation is pushed forward week after week.
