Chapter 254 Opening a Store
After a quarter of an hour's rest, Shi Yue continued to draw talismans. This time, his target was the Earth Cone Talisman.
The price of the Earth Cone Talisman was the same as that of the Fireball Talisman, which was also three spirit stones for two pieces, but the Earth Cone Talisman was more popular than the Fireball Talisman and had better sales than the Fireball Talisman.
The same scene appeared again. Shi Yue failed again and again when he first learned to draw the Earth Cone Talisman.
After two days and nine hundred and twenty-five failures, Shi Yue finally succeeded in drawing an Earth Cone Talisman, with a higher success rate than the Fireball Talisman.
After a long period of talisman making, Shi Yue's mana was lost very quickly, and his spiritual consciousness was also damaged. He had to close his eyes and meditate to regulate his breath.
An hour later, Shi Yue opened his eyes and felt refreshed.
He dipped a little cinnabar with the Qingyun Talisman Pen, picked up the pen and wrote on a blank talisman paper...
At 3:30 on the second day, Chen Xing'er came to the door of Shi Yue's room, knocked on the door, and shouted: "Junior Brother Shi, are you up? We are going to set off."
Not long after, with a "bang", the door opened, and Shi Yue walked out, his face full of fatigue.
He had been staying in the Palm of Heaven Space to draw talismans. One night outside, more than ten days had passed in the Palm of Heaven Space. During this period, he consumed more than 30,000 blank talisman papers and drew more than 300 talisman papers, with a success rate of less than 1%.
The talismans he drew included fireball talismans, earth cone talismans, earth wall talismans, water shield talismans, and water blade talismans. These talismans are all common elementary talismans.
"Junior Brother Shi, why are you so tired? Didn't you sleep well last night? Or are you too tired from shopping?" Chen Xing'er asked with concern.
"I'm fine, I just need to take a break. It's getting late, let's go open the shop first! There are many things to do!" Shi Yue shook his head and urged.
"Brother Shi, are you sure you don't want to take a break? Otherwise, you can go back and sleep for two hours, and come back later. I can handle it alone." Chen Xing'er suggested enthusiastically.
"No, it's important to open the shop. It doesn't matter if you sleep less." Shi Yue shook his head and refused. After that, he walked downstairs quickly.
Seeing this, Chen Xing'er didn't say anything and quickly followed.
When they walked out of Taixu Inn, the sky was still gray. There were fewer pedestrians on the street. Only a few immortal cultivators were still strolling on the street. Some shops were still open, but most of the shops were closed. On the way, Shi Yue and his partner encountered a few shops that were open.
Soon, Shi Yue and his partner arrived at the rented shop.
"Oh, I forgot the plaque. We have a name, but we don't have a plaque yet!" Shi Yue seemed to remember something and said with some regret.
"Hehe, after we returned to the inn, I remembered this and went out to buy a signboard and had someone carve the four characters "Taixu Thatched Cottage" on it." Chen Xing'er laughed and took out a black plaque about ten feet long from the storage bag, on which were four large silver characters "Taixu Thatched Cottage".
"Sister Chen, you are still careful, otherwise it would be embarrassing." Shi Yue's face lit up and praised.
"Hehe, of course." Chen Xing'er nodded, her face full of pride.
Chen Xing'er took out a green token from her sleeve and shook it forward. The green token sprayed out a green light and disappeared into the green light curtain in a flash.
The green light curtain flashed wildly for a while and then dissipated.
"Junior Brother Shi, put the elixirs on the right shelf, and put the talismans, magic tools and other things on the left shelf!" Chen Xing'er suggested.
"No problem. By the way, Senior Sister Chen, I drew a batch of talismans before, and put them on the left shelf for sale!"
"Junior Brother Shi, when did you become a talisman maker? How many talismans are there in this batch?" Chen Xing'er heard the words, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked with some joy.
"Not many, more than 300 pieces. I only know how to draw a few kinds of talismans, and I don't deserve the title of talisman maker." Shi Yue said while taking out more than 300 elementary talismans he had drawn.
"These talismans are taken out by you, and the spirit stones sold are all yours! I will register the number and types of this batch of talismans later." Chen Xing'er said seriously.
"That's not necessary. Let's split it 50-50 as we said before!" Shi Yue shook his head and refused.
"No, let's put it this way. You didn't mention this batch of talismans before. These talismans are not on the list of goods we sell, and they are not within the scope of our cooperation. Naturally, we can't split them 50-50. But I didn't expect that you, Junior Brother Shi, actually know how to draw talismans. If the talismans sell quickly, we will buy some blank talisman paper and you can draw them. At that time, you will be responsible for making talismans, and I will be responsible for the store sales. We will split the income 50-50." Chen Xing'er shook her head and said solemnly.
"Okay! That's it." Shi Yue agreed without hesitation. Anyway, he just treated it as a practice, and didn't expect to earn much spiritual stones from it.
Next, Chen Xing'er took out a heavy storage bag from her sleeve and poured out a lot of things. The two placed the goods in the storage bag on the shelves on the left and right sides, and put a wooden sign next to the goods with the price marked.
After placing the last item, Chen Xing'er took out a palm-sized white disc from her sleeve and cast a spell on it.
A white light flashed, and a white light curtain appeared on the shelf, covering all the goods on the shelf.
"Junior Brother Shi, now that you are done, go to the wooden house in the backyard and take a nap! If you are too busy, I will call you again." Chen Xing'er said considerately.
"Okay!" Shi Yue was not hypocritical. He was frantically making talismans in the Palm of Heaven Space and really needed a good rest.
Shi Yue walked into the backyard, closed the door, took out the Palm of Heaven Pearl, and entered the Palm of Heaven Space.
He originally wanted to regulate his breathing and meditate, but when he entered the Palm of Heaven Space, he gave up this plan.
When he came to the water tank, Shi Yue found that the two golden silkworms were still spinning silk, wrapping themselves tightly.
Shi Yue took out a green dagger from his sleeve, and after injecting magic power, the dagger shone brightly.
This green dagger is a low-grade spiritual weapon, very sharp.
During this time, the golden silkworms continued to spin silk, wrapping their bodies with three layers inside and three layers outside, turning into two golden spheres about a foot high.
Shi Yue held the green dagger tightly and carefully cut it in the middle of the golden sphere.
The layers of gold were like paper in front of the green dagger, and they broke with one cut.
Soon, Shi Yue cut the two golden spheres into four semicircles. The two golden silkworms were still spinning silk, but their bodies were much smaller.
Shi Yue put away the golden silk, washed the bodies of the two golden silkworms, wiped them clean and put them back into the water tank, and picked a lot of fresh mulberry leaves for them to eat.
