Chapter 387: Meeting of the Casual Talisman Masters! [Subscribe Please]
One month later
On this day, Wei Hong specially finished work an hour early and left the talisman workshop.
He hid in a secret corner where no one was around, disguised himself, and went straight to the market.
After accumulating for a month, Wei Hong naturally had to sell all the talismans he had accumulated to recover funds.
He worked hard to draw talismans for a month, and he had accumulated 120 first-level low-grade talismans and eight first-level medium-grade fireball talismans.
Among the 120 first-level low-grade talismans, there were 50 wood thorn talismans, 60 water shield talismans, and 10 cleaning talismans.
"If all these talismans are sold, there will be more than 100 spirit stones. After deducting various expenses, the remaining spirit stones should be able to buy a bottle of Qingling Pill."
Wei Hong walked towards the market while calculating in his mind.
This time he disguised himself as a cultivator with an ordinary figure and appearance, and did not conceal his cultivation.
After arriving at the market, Wei Hong found an empty space and spread a clean thick cloth on the ground, which was considered a stall.
Then he took out a small stool and sat down, and finally placed all the talismans on the thick cloth one by one according to categories.
The stall was set up and waited for customers to come.
"My fellow Taoist, how much do you sell your wooden thorn talismans for?"
Not long after, a young monk came to the front of the stall to ask for the price.
Wei Hong looked up at him, and then said lightly: "Ninety broken spirits per piece, if you buy more than ten pieces at a time, you will get eighty broken spirits per piece, no bargaining!"
The price he gave was definitely much more favorable than the normal market price, and it would not be so low at ordinary times.
The main reason was that Wei Hong wanted to sell all the talismans in his hands as soon as possible, and also to lock in some old customers.
As long as he made a name for himself, he would not be afraid that the talismans would fall into his hands with the advantages of good quality and low price.
Anyway, the cost of drawing talismans is almost non-existent, so Wei Hong naturally minds making less money.
Sure enough, the young monk's eyes lit up immediately when he heard the price: "Eighty broken souls per piece? Okay, give me ten."
Such a low price is not easy to come by, so the young monk will naturally not let it go.
"Okay, here are ten wooden thorn talismans, please take them, fellow Taoist."
Wei Hong nodded in response, and then counted out ten wooden thorn talismans with his hands and feet and prepared to hand them to the young monk.
But when the young monk saw Wei Hong so straightforward, he suddenly hesitated and asked: "Fellow Taoist, you... your wooden thorn talisman is so cheap, is the quality okay?"
Wei Hong had long anticipated that someone might ask this question, and he did not explain much, but kept the posture of handing the talisman and gestured: "Fellow Taoist, you can check it yourself, if you think there is a problem, you don't have to buy it."
"Hehe, then I'm sorry!"
The young monk was not polite, and took the wooden thorn talisman and examined it carefully.
After a moment, he nodded and smiled at Wei Hong, saying, "There is no problem with your wooden thorn talisman. Here are eight spirit stones. Please take them."
"Take care, fellow Taoist!"
Wei Hong took the spirit stones and politely said goodbye.
The first deal was done!
In the next hour or so, various talismans on Wei Hong's stall were bought one after another.
Because the talismans he drew were not only of good quality, but also of good craftsmanship, and cheap, the talismans on the stall were very popular.
This also made Wei Hong in a good mood. After selling all the talismans, he would go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy a bottle of Qingling Pill to increase his cultivation speed.
A bottle of Qingling Pill every month, plus the spiritual rice and monster meat alternately, made Wei Hong's cultivation speed increase a lot.
For the next two months or so
Wei Hong continued to work hard on drawing talismans and practicing every day.
After accumulating for a month, he would go to the market to sell talismans.
This has been the case for the past two months. Today is his third consecutive time to come to the market to sell talismans.
"After getting the Qingling Pill, my cultivation speed has indeed increased a lot. If I continue to maintain this pace, I may be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi training in more than a year."
Wei Hong was leisurely setting up his stall while recalling his cultivation over the past two months.
It must be said that taking pills is different from not taking pills.
If there were no Qingling Pills, Wei Hong estimated that he would have to practice hard for at least three or four years to break through to the fourth level of Qi training.
So he was barely satisfied with the income from being able to buy a bottle of Qingling Pill every month.
However, just when Wei Hong was about to close his stall, an old man came in front of his stall.
This man was dressed in a gray robe, with gray hair, a thin face, and a three-inch long white goatee.
And this old man did not hide his fourth-level Qi training at all!
The old man came to Wei Hong's stall with a kind smile on his face, squatted down and said with a smile: "My friend, your business is good, which makes me very envious!"
"Huh?"
Wei Hong narrowed his eyes and frowned subconsciously, then smiled and looked at the old man: "This senior is joking, it's just a small business, how can it be worthy of envy!"
From the first sentence the old man said, Wei Hong guessed that this person was definitely not here to buy talismans.
Although this person looks kind, Wei Hong has no idea about his background, and he doesn't know what he is going to do for the time being, so he naturally needs to be careful.
"Hey, my friend is joking. Every time you set up a stall, you can get a lot of income. If this is still a small business, then wouldn't others be ashamed?"
The grey-robed old man had a smile on his face, but his words were full of meaning.
"What do you mean, senior?"
Wei Hong frowned slightly, and looked at the grey-robed old man with sharp eyes.
Wei Hong knew what the grey-robed old man meant, which fully showed that the grey-robed old man had definitely investigated him, and it was even very likely that he had been eyeing him for a long time, otherwise he would never know his income so well.
He immediately understood that the grey-robed old man's intention was definitely not simple, and he was on guard in his heart.
"Hehe, my surname is Xu and my name is Guan!" The grey-robed old man actually introduced himself without any scruples, and then looked at Wei Hong and said: "As for the purpose of coming, it is actually very simple. I just want to invite fellow Taoists to join us."
"Who are you? What are the benefits of joining you?"
Wei Hong's face was slightly cold, and he asked questions without any politeness.
At this time, Wei Hong also felt a little strange in his heart. He had been setting up a stall for so long and had not encountered anything. Who knew that he would suddenly encounter it today.
The grey-robed old man smiled and said, "We? Hehe, we are of course the Association of Casual Practitioners. Joining our Association of Casual Practitioners will naturally allow everyone to make money together and get rich together."
"I am also a talisman painter, and a first-class middle-grade talisman painter!"
"It's not easy for us craftsmen to make a living these days. If you are willing to make friends with us, we will have someone to rely on in this market in the future, right?"
