Chapter 12 Armored War Bear.

Puppet masters have a large initial investment, and there is a risk of failure in refining puppets. Researching new puppets is a waste of money and effort. If the new puppets are not popular, it will be a total loss.

Su Qing secretly thought that puppet masters have many difficulties, but there is no need to tell Tang Wanqing these words.

"It's easier to be a spirit butcher. They kill others' prey and easily make dozens or hundreds of spirit crystals."

Su Qing saw Hu San holding a meat-cutting knife and slashing the iron-backed bear, and smiled and sighed.

Tang Wanqing looked at his slightly thin appearance and chuckled:

"Not everyone can be a butcher. You need the strength of a first-level body refiner and know the body structure of various monsters like the back of your hand. Bleeding, skinning, dividing meat, deboning, and taking cores, every step is very particular."

Su Qing nodded and said nothing, knowing that what Tang Wanqing said was true.

If you want to make a living in the cultivation world, it is indeed not easy in any industry.

After all, in this world, the only people who can live without production and have various resources to support them, and only seek to break through the realm and live forever, are the geniuses of cultivation who are worshipped as treasures by major sects.

Most practitioners, after understanding their qualifications and possible cultivation limits, are no different from ordinary people, but just want to live a better life now.

But even so, it is not so easy.

The heavy taxes of major forces, the robbery of cultivation, the evil cultivation, the evil beasts, the disasters and blessings are always unpredictable, and the dangers are always with you.

Like Ge Ling, there are many cases where a family's years of hard work are wasted just by breaking a pair of legs.

Thinking of this, Su Qing looked at the villagers who were picking up the scraps of meat on the ground, and couldn't help feeling that he was lucky enough.

Maybe it was because the iron-backed bear was too big, or maybe Hu San was not good at learning.

It was not until dusk that he finished dealing with the iron-backed bear.

During this period, Su Qing took Ge Ling to do more than an hour of rehabilitation.

What made him happy was that the Lingou legs were indeed mature puppets certified by the system. At least in the stage of Qi training for Ge Ling, these legs were enough for her.

Because the quality of the Lingou legs was good, when Ge Changyuan gave him the 2,600 Lingjing from selling the barbarian bull, he felt at ease.

The cost of the Lingyu lotus root was not worth the price, but the puppet master never considered only the cost.

Not to mention, if someone else wanted to refine a pair of Lingou legs, Su Qing would have to pay much more than this.

Let alone if someone else asked him to travel overnight and hire Tang Wanqing out of favor, it would be impossible.

"I know that this little Lingjing is far from enough to buy Ling'er's legs. Don't worry, fellow Daoist Su, I will collect another 400 Lingjing after I sell this year's harvest and send it to you!"

Ge Changyuan knew what was good and bad, and when he saw Su Qing taking the Lingjing, he did not forget to add a sentence.

Su Qing shook his head and was not ready to let him bleed again. The old man had a hard life, and his wife was just an ordinary person. He was almost the only one who worked in the fields.

If it wasn't for giving Ge Ling a good start, he might have moved out of the Lingtian District and went to the secular society. His life might have been better, but in this Lingtian District, after spending all his previous savings and selling one year's harvest to him, they would not be able to make ends meet next year.

"Don't thank me, fellow Taoist. I have an unwelcome request. I see that many people in this Lingtian District are interested in my puppets.

I don't want to run back and forth, so I want you to run errands for me in the future. If the villagers want puppets, let you bring the deposit to me, and after I refine the puppets, you can send them over.

I dare not let you work hard in vain. For each order, I will give you ten spirit crystals as a reward. What do you think?"

Su Qing said slowly to Ge Changyuan.

This experience in Gejia Village made him realize the demand for puppets in the Lingtian District.

Admittedly, the consumption power here is far less than that in the living area. For the cultivators in the central area, there is no market for high-end puppets.

But the number of cultivators is large, and there is a lack of competition from other puppeteers. The villagers' strong demand for puppets cannot be met, and they urgently need puppeteers like him to save them!

A few villagers can buy a passionate secret puppet together.

This kind of puppet is not for doing real work. If you refine iron horses and wooden cows and other productivity tools yourself, it will not be difficult to earn the villagers' spiritual crystals!

It's just that the risk of running back and forth between the living area and the Lingtian area is a bit difficult to deal with.

Su Qing himself is unwilling to take such risks, but for a spiritual plant husband like Ge Changyuan, the general robbery cultivators really look down on him. As long as the income is high enough, I think Ge Changyuan is willing to take this risk.

Sure enough, when he said this, Ge Changyuan was somewhat moved.

"How dare I ask for your hard work fee? When the busy farming season is over, I will also go to the stall area to sell some things from the fields. I will also bring some things for you. It won't take much effort."

"Let's put it in order. You will get what you deserve. That's it. I hope you can promote it for me in the area recently. I am now skilled enough to make ordinary first-level low-grade puppets."

After discussing with Ge Changyuan, Su Qing walked out of the house and saw Hu San selling demon blood for Tang Wanqing.

"Iron-backed bear demon blood, two spirit crystals per pound, nourishes qi and blood, and strengthens internal organs. Tang Daoyou is kind-hearted and willing to let us cowards take advantage of it. Otherwise, this pound of demon blood would cost at least five spirit crystals in the market."

I don't know how much commission Tang Wanqing gave Hu San to make him promote it so hard.

But what Hu San said was true. If the storage bag could not hold it, Tang Wanqing would have sold the monster blood in packages to the market, and one pound would have cost more than two spirit crystals.

Su Qing still had room in his storage bag, so he would have taken advantage of such a good deal. He not only bought more than 20 pounds of bear blood, which he prepared for the wood spirit servants to make Maoxuewang, but also bought four bear paws, which cost him more than 600 spirit crystals.

In his previous life, he had never had the chance to eat bear paws, and he didn't know what the monster bear paws tasted like.

"Buy some more monster meat. Even if you are a puppet master, you need to nourish your body more."

One pound of iron-backed bear meat costs seven or eight spirit crystals. Although many villagers were attracted by Hu San, they only consumed monster blood, but not many people consumed iron-backed bear meat.

Even the villagers who had bought Su Qing's secret puppets before did not want to buy iron-backed bear meat. Obviously, they all knew how to save and spend.

Thinking that this batch of monster meat would inevitably be ripped off by those shops when it was sold in the market, Tang Wanqing wanted to ask the dog owner Su Qing to buy more.

Su Qing had no interest at all. He was not stupid. He needed to replenish his body, but the meat of the iron-backed bear was much more stimulating than that of wild beef. For someone as weak as him, eating this meat would only make him weak and unable to be replenished. There was no other benefit.

But when he saw the neat and tidy bones of the iron-backed bear handled by Hu San, he became interested.

Bone is a material widely used in refining puppets. The bones of the first-class iron-backed bear can be used as the main material for refining the first-class puppet - the armored war bear.

He is now a first-class puppet master. As long as he buys the drawings of the armored war bear in the market, he can try to refine it. So he opened his mouth and wanted to get some bargains from Tang Wanqing.

Tang Wanqing was not easy to fool.

Although she was not very clear about the specific value of the Iron-backed Bear Bone, she knew that it was one of the favorite materials of puppet masters. If she took it back to the market, she would not have to worry about not being able to sell it at a high price.

But because she wanted to establish a deeper friendship with Su Qing, after Su Qing offered a price of 2,200 spirit crystals, she took the opportunity to sell the bone to him.

"I am grateful for your care this time, Daoyou Tang. Don't worry. If you need puppets in the future, I will give you the lowest price!"

Su Qing was willing to say good things after getting the benefits.

"It's not enough to just talk. Wait until I make the business of the Passionate Secret Dolls a success, and you don't take the opportunity to kill me."

Tang Wanqing glanced at Su Qing and said directly.

Su Qing waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he was definitely not the kind of unscrupulous profiteer who raised prices at will.
