This morning, Li Yuan went out to Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area to replenish a batch of Spirit Ink.

When walking south along the main street, there were more Patrol Inspector on the road than usual.

Normally at this time, you can only meet a group of Patrol Inspector on the main street three to five hundred meters away. They work in groups of two, walking and walking in a loose rhythm.

Today, on the way from the entrance of the courtyard to Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area, Li Yuan met four groups, each group had two people, walking a little faster than usual, and scanning the monks with their eyes.

They are all outer disciples of the Yuanyang Sect, wearing gray and white robes and Token on their waists.

Li Yuan didn't look any further and continued walking forward.

The Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area entrance was a little busier than usual. There were seven or eight Rogue Cultivator gathered outside the stone fence, squatting and standing, saying something in a low voice.

When Li Yuan approached, he happened to hear a short and fat Rogue Cultivator in the middle talking.

"...Li Family, that ancestor, went to the Yuanyang Sect."

Rogue Cultivator, a man with a short beard next to him, was stunned for a moment. "Li Family Patriarch? Which ancestor?"

"Who else could it be?" Chubby Rogue Cultivator lowered his voice, but did not cover it up, "The oldest one. The one who usually doesn't show up. He flew there in person two days ago."

"Flyed there? How did you know?" Short-bearded Rogue Cultivator frowned.

The short and fat Rogue Cultivator pointed in the east direction. "I am a fellow villager who farms just below the feet of Yuanyang Mountain. I was working in the fields that evening when a strong wind suddenly blew above my head. When I looked up, I saw a man flying over from the south on a spiritual light and heading straight to the top of the mountain."

Another older man Rogue Cultivator came close to him. He was in his fifties and had a sallow complexion.

"No matter what he does, Foundation Establishment's matter has nothing to do with us."

"That's what I said." The short-bearded Rogue Cultivator rubbed his chin and glanced in the direction of the main street, "But there must be a reason why there are so many Patrol Inspector."

"Who knows." The sallow-faced Rogue Cultivator shook his head, turned around and left.

Chubby Rogue Cultivator muttered a few more words, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Li Yuan walked by without stopping.

The ancestor of the Li Family personally went to the Yuanyang Sect. No matter what the purpose is, it will not be a trivial matter.

But it has nothing to do with me directly.

Li Yuan bought Rogue Cultivator Gathering Area, bought Spirit Ink and a batch of Cinnabar, and collected two Grey-Maned Badger skins from a skin stall, and returned to the yard to continue Talisman Making.

Spread it out on the table, dip in ink and write.

Fireball Talisman.

The six-path Spirit Pattern is completed in one go from the beginning to the end. The red luster rises from the surface of the symbol, which is calm and restrained.

When I drew the fifth picture, there was a subtle change in the feel.

It didn't suddenly get better, it just became something you no longer need to care about.

There was still a string in my mind when I made each stroke before. Is the direction of the spiritual power correct, is the density enough, and where is the starting point of the next line - these judgments have become instinctive reactions at the Minor Accomplishment and Major Accomplishment stages, but the instinctive reaction itself still occupies a trace of attention.

Now there is no trace of it.

While the hands are drawing, the mind can be completely empty. Spiritual power, Talisman Pattern, and Fuxin binding, the whole process seems to be carved into the bones, not going through the brain, but directly completed by the muscles and meridians.

After the fifth painting was finished, the crimson luster floating on the surface of the rune was deeper than the first four.

Panel jumped out.

[Talisman: Fireball Talisman-Major Accomplishment(0/3200)]

Major Accomplishment.

Li Yuan picked up the Fireball Talisman and looked at it twice.

The accuracy of Talisman Pattern is even higher than before. The spiritual power is distributed evenly in each line, and the leakage during binding is reduced to almost zero. With the same materials, the finished product Spiritual Qi Density is nearly 10% higher than before.

Li Yuan Stack the finished product and continue painting.

At the end of the morning, there was a thick stack of finished products on the corner of the table.

When putting Talisman Brush down, Li Yuan took a look at the remaining Spirit-Refining Talisman materials in the storage bag.

There are only two bottles of Golden Talisman Paper left. Dark Gold Spirit Ink is less than half a bottle. Spirit Guiding Sand and Soul-Stabilizing Powder are about to bottom out.

These are all the remaining materials saved from Alchemist He. After using them, if you want to continue painting Spirit-Refining Talisman, you have to Spirit Stone to buy the materials yourself.

The Talisman Making material of First-Tier Superior-Grade and Low-grade First-Order are completely different in price.

Golden Talisman Paper costs eight yuan for each Spirit Stone. One bottle of Dark Gold Spirit Ink costs thirty yuan. Spirit Guiding Sand and Soul-Stabilizing Powder add up to another sum. Taken together, the material cost of painting a Spirit-Refining Talisman is about fifteen yuan Spirit Stone.

And there is no way to make these materials yourself.

My current talisman-making skills can only process the animal skin of Low-grade First-Order. The animal skin of Low-grade First-Order has thick fiber and poor spiritual permeability, so the talisman made is only suitable for painting Low-grade First-Order Talisman.

If you want to be First-Tier Superior-Grade's Talisman Paper, the craftsmanship of making the talisman itself must be improved to a corresponding level. It is still far from enough.

Don't rush to purchase Spirit-Refining Talisman material in large quantities.

In the evening, Li Yuan divided the Talisman painted during the day into two parts.

An acquisition was taken to Main Street.

Take the other copy to Ziyuan Trading Firm.

Ziyuan Trading Firm is located in the north of the middle section of the main street. It has two floors Stone Tower. The facade is larger than the average shop and the signboard is gilded. Li Yuan has sold Talisman here several times before. Spirit-Refining Talisman sells very well here.

Push the door open and go in.

Behind the counter sat the shop owner Shopkeeper Han, a lean man in his fifties, looking through an account book.

A low table was set up next to the counter. A boy of sixteen or seventeen years old was sitting at the table, holding a Talisman Brush in his hand and drawing something on a Green-Veined Paper.

The young man's technique is very clever. After the spiritual energy seeped out from the tip of the pen, he could not control it on the paper. Fire-Gathering Pattern The spiritual energy dissipated in the middle of the painting, overflowing from the edge of the texture and forming a ball.

The young man lifted up the waste talismans and threw them into the bamboo basket at his feet. There were already seven or eight waste talismans lying in the bamboo basket.

Shopkeeper Han raised his head when he heard the knock on the door, saw Li Yuan, and closed the account book.

"Young Daoist Li."

Li Yuan placed Talisman on the counter.

Shopkeeper Han took out two and looked through them as usual, pressed his finger on the talisman, and then nodded.

"The quality remains the same."

He folded Talisman, dialed the abacus twice, and counted the number.

The Spirit Stone code is easy to push over, and the Li Yuan is stored in the storage bag.

Just as he was about to leave, Shopkeeper Han came out from behind the counter.

"Fellow Daoist Li, sit down? There is something you want to talk about."

He waved to the tea table inside.

Li Yuan glanced at him, walked over and sat down at the tea table.

Shopkeeper Han poured two cups of tea, pushed one cup in front of Li Yuan, picked up the other cup and took a sip.

"You've been selling talismans here for a while." Shopkeeper Han put down the tea cup, "Your Talisman's appearance is considered high-quality in the entire Yunyang Marketplace, I know this for sure."

He got right to the point.

"I want to reach a long-term cooperation with you."

"What conditions."

"Both." Shopkeeper Han raised two fingers.

"First, stable supply. At least one batch should be supplied every half month. There is no limit to the type. Whatever is available, the more the better. There is no limit to the number, but it cannot be interrupted."

second finger.

"Second, the purchase price has increased. On the current basis, each Low-grade First-Order Talisman will increase by 10%. Spirit-Refining Talisman will increase by 1.5%."

Float up by 10%.

Fireball Talisman went from just over three yuan to about three and a half yuan, Rejuvenation Talisman went from three and a half yuan to close to four yuan. Spirit-Refining Talisman went from forty to forty six.

According to the current output of Li Yuan, Spirit Stone can earn more than one hundred yuan in one month.

Li Yuan thought for a while.

The conditions are not bad. With a 10% increase in the purchase price and stable shipping channels, it is much easier than running around and selling things by yourself.

"Okay."

The smile on Shopkeeper Han's face became a little thicker, and then he asked the second question.

"How to cooperate, do you want to make it public or private?"

"What do you mean?"

Shopkeeper Han pointed towards the wall above the counter. There were several wooden plaques hanging on the wall, which read the names of several Talisman Making masters that Ziyuan Trading Firm was selling and the types of Talisman they were good at.

"If you make it public, I will hang a sign for you at that location and write your name on it. In the future, customers who come to buy Talisman will naturally remember your name when they see your name and the quality is good."

He held up a finger.

"The advantage is your reputation. Over time, someone will take the initiative to ask you to order Talisman Making."

Another finger.

"If it's not public, it's business as usual. You supply and I sell. Outsiders only know that Ziyuan Trading Firm and Talisman are good, but they don't know who made them. The advantage is that they are hidden."

Public and non-public.

Fame and anonymity.

Reputation can bring higher income. The price of custom Talisman Making is much higher than that of wholesale, and the total income will increase greatly.

Concealment can reduce the risk of being spotted. Talisman Making Master is a popular profession, but when you become famous, not only will customers come, but also people who covet your skills and savings will appear.

However, Yunyang Marketplace is the territory of the Yuanyang Sect, and it is forbidden to do anything in the city. My own cultivation level is Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and ordinary Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement can easily defeat it. Breath Concealment and Breath Concealment and Keen Perception are involved. If someone really has evil intentions, there is a high probability that he will be the first to notice.

Moreover, saving Spirit Stone is currently the biggest demand. Origin Breaking Pill's main three-flavor materials add up to at least three thousand Spirit Stone. The speed of relying on daily wholesale Talisman is too slow. Customization income is the most direct means of acceleration.

"Open." Li Yuan said.

Shopkeeper Han nodded.

"Okay. I'll have someone carve a sign and hang it up tomorrow."

He pulled out a thin document from under the counter and pushed it in front of Li Yuan.

"It's a simple cooperation agreement, sign it if it's okay. It doesn't involve Essence Blood, it's just an ordinary business contract, and both parties can terminate it at any time."

Li Yuan picked it up and scanned it. The content is simple: The supplier Li Yuan will supply at least one batch every half month. The purchase price will be 10% to 15% higher than the market price. Both parties can terminate the cooperation at any time without penalty.

There are no traps.

Li Yuan signed and kept the copy.

Shopkeeper Han put the original copy into the drawer, stood up and bowed his hand towards Li Yuan.

"A pleasure to work with."

Li Yuan nodded, got up and walked out.

When passing by the low table, Shopkeeper Han's son discarded another talisman. The bamboo basket was almost full of discarded talismans.

The young man raised his head and glanced at Li Yuan, then lowered his head and continued painting.

Li Yuan didn't stop, pushed the door open and walked out Ziyuan Trading Firm.

Go back to the yard and close the door.

Li Yuan sat on the bed, crossed his legs and did his exercises.

Spiritual Qi pours into the body, Pure Spirit Power removes impurities, and the spiritual power condenses and sinks into the Dantian. The yard is close to Spirit Vein Branch, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi is abundant, and the accumulation amount every week is very solid.

Spirit-Blood Dual Cultivation of Blood Coagulation Pill allows Qi and Blood to operate synchronously with spiritual power. The bonuses of Spirit-Gathering Pill and Breakthrough Pill are stacked together, and the speed of cultivation advancement is more than twice as fast as that of ordinary Qi Refining Late Stage monks.

One Sunday, two Sundays, three Sundays.

Cultivation is steadily moving forward.

The Yunyang Marketplace outside the window gradually became quiet. The Spirit Lamp light outside the courtyard wall penetrated through the gaps, casting a few light yellow strips on the stone floor.
