Chapter 660 Ways to Make Money (3800 Plus)
"This world of cultivating immortals is indeed very complicated..."
Walking out of a small shop selling talismans, Aaron shook his head and sighed.
He has been in Fangshi for the past few days, inquiring about the market for purchasing talisman, but the result is not optimistic.
Probably because there are too many second-tier talisman masters in Qianyang City, the price of talismans has been reduced to a horrible level.
The purchase price of the store was too low, and there were too many people selling it, and the talisman was suppressed to almost the cost price.
‘Based on my success rate, it’s not like I can’t survive in Qianyang City at this price...but it’s just a dream to accumulate 200,000 to 300,000 spirit stones in a few decades. '
Aaron set a small goal for himself, to earn 10,000 low-grade spirit stones a year!
'It looks like... Shen Fei, as a second-tier talisman master, can't earn so much money... Could it be time for other vests to go online? My refining method based on the Black Sun Devil Fire is considered the only one here, and it is not a problem to occupy some of the market... Besides, if I expose the third-level alchemy technique, I can get a lot of recruits...'
Alchemy is always at the top of the chain of contempt, not to mention third-tier alchemists are much rarer than those of first- and second-tier alchemists.
‘No no no, it’s too dangerous, I’d better sell the talisman for a few years first, let’s talk about it after gaining a firm foothold...’
With this thought in mind, when Aaron went to another talisman store to discuss business, he took the initiative to start rolling: "Fellow Daoist... I sell all these talismans at cost price, as long as you provide me with spiritual sand and talisman paper, you can buy them." If it's cheaper, it'll do..."
The Qi Refining Realm Talisman Masters next to him immediately glared at Aaron.
I have seen curly ones, but I have never seen such curly ones!
However, the other party's cultivation base is high, and he can't afford to provoke him...
"Third lady, why don't you come to this talisman store..." At this moment, Su Cao came in with Hua Sanniang, and was startled when he saw Aaron.
"Friend Daoist, this is..."
Su Cao looked at the promotional talisman paper in Aaron's hand, with a confident smile on his face: "I have heard that Fellow Daoist Shen is a second-level talisman master... Do you want to continue to draw talismans for a living?"
"Yes, it's a pity that living in Qianyang is not easy..."
Aaron sighed in unison, showing a miserable expression.
Sure enough, when Hua Sanniang saw this, although she was still smiling, she distanced herself from her conversation.
It seems that after so many days of investigation, she finally chose Su Cao among the many licking dogs, and she is ready to invest more.
"By the way... we fellow daoists who came here are going to have a reunion in Baihualou in three days. Fellow daoist Shen, please do us a favor."
Su Cao put her arms around Hua Sanniang's waist and invited her.
Aaron was startled, and immediately cupped his fists: "I will be there on time!"
...
Three days later.
Baihualou.
In a private room.
The scent of spirit tea was ethereal, and a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators were sitting together, chatting.
"This Qianyang City is really an eye-opener... Poor Dao has come here, and he is not going to leave. Maybe here, there is really hope for the road!"
Taoist Qingfeng said with emotion.
"It's the same in Qianyang City. I don't know what kind of scenery it is above the Jiange Pavilion in Shushan? It's a pity...it's just that the cost of this spirit stone is too high, making people tight..." Monk Yuanjue sighed.
"Shushan Jiange is one of the top ten sects of Dagan...Naturally, it is not a trivial matter." Su Cao enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight: "This sect is mainly based on sword repair... In Dagan, sword repair is extremely orthodox and powerful His path of cultivating immortals has the reputation of "one sword breaks ten thousand dharmas"... It is rumored that in the Jiange of Shushan, there is also a town-style spiritual treasure——"Invisible Sword". Wei, holding it in the hands of the Lord of the Sword Pavilion, beheading the Nascent Soul monster is like picking something out of a bag!"
"Lingbao—"Invisible Sword"?" Aaron also showed yearning on his face.
Lingbao!
Qi-refining and foundation-building magic tools, pill-forming and Yuanying magic weapons.
And the spirit treasure is a terrifying existence that is still above the magic weapon. It is said that it has given birth to spirituality, and even the best can change form!
This kind of treasure is enough to be used by the top ten sects to suppress luck, and it has the power to burn mountains and seas!
"Let's not talk about spirit treasures, even if it's an invisible sword at the level of a magic weapon, it's hard to take a bite..."
Hua Sanniang said with a smile: "Only fellow Daoist Su Cao met once, right?"
"That's right... In the true biography of Shushan Jiange, after forming an alchemy, you must refine an 'invisible sword' as your natal magic weapon... This 'invisible sword' is imitated from a spiritual treasure. Killing is invisible... If it is combined with Shushan Jiange's "Taiqing Invisible Sword Jue" supernatural power, it will even block gods and kill gods, and Buddhas will block and kill Buddhas! There was once a sword cultivator in the early stage of alchemy, who reversed the alchemy and achieved perfection The head of the Black Demon Sect! Killing the evil spirits is frightening, and thousands of monks bow their heads... The prestige of the No. 1 sect of the upright Sword Immortal is all based on killing!"
Su Cao boasted, with a look of pride, as if he was not a disciple of Haoran Sect, but a member of Shushan Jiange!
"Sword repair, invisible sword... This is the demeanor of Xiaoyao Sword Immortal."
A group of people kept sighing, and could only sigh secretly that the same person was different.
As immortal cultivators, everyone's painting style has gradually begun to go wrong.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Shen..."
After chatting about what he had seen and heard, Su Cao said with a smile: "I see that it is very difficult for fellow Taoists to sell talismans for a living. Why don't we form a team and go to receive the reward task?"
"Fellow Daoist Su is already at the middle stage of foundation establishment, and this is helping us." Hua Sanniang also chimed in.
Moreover, many fellow monks were really moved.
Aaron also pretended to be pondering, but in fact he was determined to refuse.
After all, he has seen and heard a lot about fellow villagers shooting in the back.
Moreover, people in the world of cultivating immortals are sinister, and people here are unfamiliar. After several years of silence, he has no plans to walk out of the gate of Qianyang City until he has figured out the situation!
Isn't it the accommodation fee of hundreds of spirit stones a year?
He can afford it!
'Besides... this Su Cao and Hua Sanniang really don't look like kind people...'
"Amitabha, I'm so focused on cultivating, I won't join in..."
Monk Yuanjue clasped his hands together.
Seeing that there was an early bird, Aaron immediately stood up: "I still have some things to do, so I'm leaving!"
Regardless of the ugly faces of Su Cao and Hua Sanniang, they just left the teahouse.
In Qianyang City, what is a mere Haoran Sect?
This face, if you don't give it, you won't give it.
After walking out of the teahouse, Aaron went directly to the center of Qianyang City.
I have to say that although Su Cao's suggestion is bad, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for him.
In Qianyang City, those casual cultivators who don't know the four arts of self-cultivation, and become mercenaries, have an easy way to accept missions.
In the center of Qianyang City, there is a huge jade wall. On the jade wall, there are countless golden characters, which constitute a large amount of information.
Even after the monk's spiritual consciousness is connected to this jade wall, he can still search and browse, and turn pages...
This is another major feature of Qianyang City - Qiankun Yubi!
On the jade bi, there are various missions.
The sources of these tasks are very complicated. They are issued by cultivation families, shops, individuals, and even sects, and the deposit and Qianyang City are paid in advance.
Qianyang City guarantees this and pays the monks who complete the task.
"It's really like a mercenary union..."
Aaron made a complaint and began to browse those tasks.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw a mission statement.
When the consciousness falls on this task, more information emerges:
[The Lingtian of the Wei Family of the Cultivation Family was invaded by the monster "Drilling Rat"... A reward of 2,000 spirit stones is offered to capture the "Drilling Rat" monster in the territory... Those who are interested can go to the Wei family in Heifengling to negotiate...]
At the bottom, there is also an explanation of the monster 'Drilling Rat'. This spirit mouse was born as a Qi-refining monster. It grows extremely fast, and it can be promoted to the second level in a few decades, becoming a monster in the foundation-building period.
But due to the shackles of the blood, he will probably be at the second level for the rest of his life, and the third-level Shu King is extremely rare.
Moreover, he likes to eat spiritual grains, and his fertility is also very strong.
But in terms of combat power, apart from being very good at ground burrowing with one hand, the others are not worth mentioning.
Even among the local foundation-builder cultivators, there are very few who are interested in gophers, contracted as spirit beasts.
But Aaron felt that this mouse smells so good!
‘Does it take decades to become a Tier 2 monster? Although the combat strength is a little weak, it is a bit skillful to escape... But in the far west, those families will have to fight for their heads! '
"Compared to gophers, longevity turtles can be thrown away..."
He continued to look, and found that the gophers were very cunning, and they were extremely good at escaping from the ground. Even monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, it was not so easy to catch them.
At least, the Wei family had no choice but to issue a reward.
When Aaron saw the title, his eyes lit up. He just thought of one of his skills that had long been under the box - "The Book of Seducing Demons"!
"Above the "Beast Lure Spectrum", there is a method of making sesame oil to lure rodent monsters... But in the far west, monsters are rare, and the things are useless. It is simply a tasteless dragon slaying technique! Dagan...seems like there are a lot of monsters!"
He continued to search for monster tasks, his eyes became brighter and brighter:
[Long-term acquisition of Wanyao Lake's 'Three Blue Grain Fish' and 'Tiger Tooth Fish'... the price is favorable! 】
"Wan Yao Lake... is located on the border of Shuzhou, where Shushan Jiange is located, adjacent to the 'Hundred Thousand Mountains'... In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it is said that there are fourth-order monsters such as Yuan Ying... and Wan Yao In the depths of the Monster Lake, the third-tier golden core demon kings can be seen everywhere, and they are forbidden areas for monks... In the outer periphery, there are also many casual cultivators who fish for a living by fishing for demon fish..."
After reading the relevant introduction, Aaron was even more moved.
Just a little bit, I want to go back to my old business.
After all, it is not a human being to catch a fisherman, catch a fisherman's spirit, and not catch a net!
"But the casualty rate of fishermen among immortal cultivators is higher than that of ordinary people...it's too dangerous."
Even if he knew that once his secret technique of driving the sea came out, Wanyao Lake would be the Lingshi Mine!
But Aaron resisted the urge.
"Wait a little longer, let's see again..."
""The Book of Tempting Demons" has been circulated in the Far West... Maybe it's here too!"
Thinking of this, Aaron forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and left Qiankun Yubi calmly.
Then, I came to the 'Tiandan Building' and found the 'Treasurer Hao' who was also a foundation-building monk.
"Fellow Daoist Shen... Could it be that there is another batch of spiritual herbs for sale?"
Shopkeeper Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Aaron coming.
"Friend Daoist joked..."
Aaron quickly waved his hand: "I live in Qianyang, it's not easy, so I went to Qiankun Yubi to find some ways to earn spirit stones... But I don't have any skills, so I can only kill demons."
"Ah... there is no way to do this, but I think fellow Taoists are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will surely rise to the sky one day." Shopkeeper Hao said beautiful words, but he was secretly wary of Aaron asking for a spirit stone.
"It's nothing more than killing monsters. The most important thing is to catch the traces of monsters..." Aaron smiled secretly in his heart, showing distress: "So let me ask, is there a special method for luring gophers or spirit fishes?" Kind of pills, bait?"
"This..." Shopkeeper Hao was convinced when he heard that he was not here to borrow the spirit stone, he shook his head and said: "There really is!"
"Oh? I would like to hear more about it!" Aaron felt regretful, but his eyes lit up.
"But I don't recommend that fellow daoists do this, because this elixir is not cheap... For example, the 'mouse trap' that lures 'drilling mice' is not only troublesome to make, but also because it is quite out of the way. If fellow daoists want it, We can only hand over the spirit stone first, and then we collect the medicinal materials and let the alchemist make a special furnace... The cost is gone, even if we get the reward, it is not worth the loss..."
"The same goes for the spirit fish..."
...
However, Aaron's heart was filled with hope again, and he asked about the prices of various demon-attracting pills, and his heart was instantly settled.
With a look of regret and disappointment on his face, he walked out.
'"The Spectrum of Seducing Demons" hasn't been widely circulated yet? Could it be that the stolen copy is still an orphan? '
"No matter what... I always feel that the fragrant bait made according to the secret recipe in my hand looks very promising..."
'But I can't take action immediately, wait and see again...Anyway, there are so many monsters, they can't run away! '
Aaron decided to go back and be a down-and-out talisman master.
At least, he had to wait until he had figured out how Qianyang City operated before he could implement his plan to make money.
...
Time is like water, and the years are like a shuttle.
For a city of cultivating immortals, nine years is like nine days in the common world. It seems that nothing has changed in the slightest compared to yesterday.
Aaron is still making talismans every day, selling them at a low price and maintaining Weibo's profits, which seems to be very hard work.
During this period, Su Cao and Hua Sanniang also invited him to perform missions together many times, and the rewards were very generous, but Aaron refused without hesitation.
And with the passage of several years, after the fellow villager Jian Ji who followed Su Cao suffered heavy casualties, everyone also saw clearly the virtues of Su Cao and Su Cao, and gradually alienated them.
this day.
The alchemy room of the cave mansion.
Aaron withdrew the Xiantian Zhenhuo, and slapped the three-legged and double-eared purple-gold copper tripod in front of him.
bang bang!
Pills as white as jade fell into his hands.
"I mainly use "The Spectrum of Seducing Demons", and the bait I make is called——"Luring Fish Pill"..."
The cost of this pill is only dozens of low-grade spirit stones, and even Aaron spent the most effort on covering up the raw materials.
correct!
He is not going to hunt monsters himself, but is going to be a server...!
He has long been familiar with the case of gold miners and the service industry.
You may be able to make money, but I will definitely not lose money!
