Chapter 32 Ten Thousand Talisman Papers
The next day, Zhuang Yunde appeared outside the yard on time as Chu Ning expected.
"Junior Brother Chu, I'm here to collect the Mo Lingzhu."
"Senior Brother Zhuang, please come in!"
Chu Ning led the other party into the yard and came to the place where he stacked the ink bamboos.
Senior Brother Zhuang looked at Mo Lingzhu in the yard, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.
"Junior brother seems to have already divided the amount to be handed over to the sect.
He was able to grow such quality Black Spirit Bamboo in his first year after entering the sect. His junior brother is really talented at planting this spiritual plant. "
The smile on Zhuang Yunde's face was very sincere.
After all, when he saw this pile of Black Spirit Bamboo, he seemed to also see another 10% entering his pocket.
How could Chu Ning not know the meaning behind Zhuang Yunde's smile? Taking advantage of the other person's extremely good mood, he tentatively expressed his thoughts.
"Senior Brother Zhuang, I wonder if the sect has any flexibility in handing over the harvest of black bamboo, such as handing over the talisman paper."
"Huh?" Zhuang Yunde, who was still smiling at first, looked at Chu Ning in surprise when he heard this.
"What does Junior Brother Chu mean by this? Maybe Junior Brother Chu wants to make these ink bamboos into talismans and hand them over to the sect."
Chu Ning nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I meant."
Knowing that Zhuang Yunde would ask, Chu Ning also said what he had already thought of.
"To be honest, senior brother, I really want to try the art of making talisman paper.
However, if I only use the little bamboo I have left, and take away the losses from early practice, I’m afraid there won’t be many talismans that can actually be made.
But it would be different if all these black bamboos were used for me to make talisman paper.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. I believe that in the later stages, I will be more proficient in making talisman paper and have a higher success rate. "
Zhuang Yunde understood the meaning of Chu Ning's words as soon as he heard it. Chu Ning wanted to spread the early losses through more production.
He pondered for a while and then said seriously:
“Junior Brother Chu’s idea is indeed good, but the premise of all this is that you can really master the method of making this talisman paper and make enough talisman paper.
The sect will not consider your failure. If you cannot hand in enough talisman paper on time, you will have to pay at least 20% more if it is deducted from the next year's harvest. "
As soon as Chu Ning heard Zhuang Yunde's words, he knew that there was a high probability that this matter would be a success.
His family knew his own affairs well, so what Zhuang Yunde said was not a problem for him at all.
So I felt happy immediately, but my face showed a dilemma.
Chu Ning hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Senior Brother Zhuang, I still want to try. If I don't make more, my Mo Lingzhu this season will be considered white."
After hearing this, Zhuang Yunde didn't say anything more, and then started to figure it out for Chu Ning with a calm expression.
"If the number of Black Spirit Bamboo handed over to the sect is converted into the number of talisman papers, 5,000 talisman papers can be produced under the most ideal condition.
But even if Baiyitang makes talisman paper, there are some surprises. Generally, we will calculate it at 70 to 80%.
Junior Brother Chu is a newcomer, but he has such ambitions. I can apply to the sect to see if I can count on turning in 70%. "
When Chu Ning heard this, she couldn't help but thank her profusely.
He knew Zhuang Yunde relatively well and knew that if the other party was not sure, he would usually not speak.
As for the price of this ordinary talisman paper, Chu Ning had already inquired about it.
Currently on the market, one spiritual stone costs about 50 talismans.
Of course, if the market recycles it, it won't be so high. I'm afraid it will take 55 to 60 pieces to exchange for a spiritual stone.
But no matter what, if Zhuang Yunde can really apply, he will undoubtedly earn nearly 10 more spiritual stones by paying 10% less.
Chu Ning did not forget the transaction with the other party, so he asked casually:
"Senior Brother Zhuang, I don't know if he likes the ink bamboo or the talisman paper?"
Zhuang Yunde, who had never talked about the transaction between the two parties, was immediately satisfied when he heard that Chu Ning now took the initiative to bring it up.
This junior brother is undoubtedly very wise.
"Recently, this storage bag has been a bit out of use. It may not be able to accommodate the black bamboo. It would be great if there is talisman paper."
Chu Ning heard it and immediately agreed.
"Senior Brother Zhuang, don't worry, I will reserve 550 talisman papers first."
Zhuang Yunde was naturally even more satisfied when he heard that Chu Ning did not discount the amount handed over to the sect, but instead added 10% to the 500.
"Junior brother, don't worry. I will try my best to ask the sect to let you hand over the harvest later. You can feel free to try more boldly."
After saying this, Zhuang Yunde said goodbye and left.
After Chu Ning sent the other party out, he turned around and returned to the yard, with a smile on his face.
Zhuang Yunde only said that as a novice, making talisman paper required practice and a lot of wear and tear.
Little did they know that Chu Ning has now mastered the method of making talisman paper, and with the bonus of the talisman's source spirit, the success rate is far higher than ordinary people.
Therefore, Chu Ning must be able to make more than 80% of the talismans using this pile of Black Spirit Bamboo.
One day later, Chu Ning received a talisman from Zhuang Yunde. The sect had agreed that he would use the talisman paper to offset the Mo Lingzhu, calculated at 70%.
As a result, Chu Ning was completely relieved and began to immerse herself in making talisman paper.
The Black Spirit Bamboo in his hand is divided into two categories. One category was originally intended to be handed over to the sect.
This category has less impurities and can produce less pulp.
The other category is what Chu Ning originally prepared for himself to make talisman paper.
This part has fewer impurities, can obtain more pulp, and can naturally make more talisman paper.
After about twenty days of making talisman paper, Chu Ning looked at the piles of talisman paper in his room, his face full of joy of harvest.
During the nearly twenty days of making talisman paper, although Chu Ning occasionally failed, with the blessing of the talisman source spirit body, the success rate was frighteningly high.
Chu Ning made 4,800 pieces of talisman paper from the pile of black spirit bamboo handed over to the sect.
And Chu Ning made 6,000 pieces of talisman paper from the higher quality black spirit bamboo.
Adding the two together, Chu Ning now has more than 10,000 pieces of talisman paper in front of him!
Deducting the 3,500 pieces of talisman paper handed over to the sect and the 550 pieces of talisman paper to be divided with Zhuang Yunde.
Chu Ning still had 6750 pieces of talisman paper left.
This was more than 100 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Chu Ning had never been so wealthy.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning immediately took out a spirit stone.
The spirit stones he had obtained from Old Man Sun before, plus the spirit stones he had obtained from the robber cultivator, Chu Ning still had 3 low-grade spirit stones in his hand that he had never used.
Because he didn't have many spirit stones in his hand, Chu Ning had never used them for cultivation.
Now, Chu Ning was ready to be extravagant.
[Qingmu Changchun Gong (low-grade yellow), second level (198/900)]
[Jiuyan Refining Body Art, Volume 1, Immortal Skin 133/300]
After taking a look at his progress, Chu Ning immediately held the spirit stone in his hand, closed his eyes and began to practice.
The proficiency of the second level of Qingmu Changchun Gong was 198, but Chu Ning felt that his cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi training had reached the top.
If my guess is correct, once my proficiency reaches 200, I will most likely reach the fifth level of Qi Refining.
