204 Cooperation (3)
Jiang Ming’s eyes widened. Talisman-making had incredibly high profit margins! As expected, these skills paid more than farming!
If Jiang Ming helped make ten talismans a day, he would get at least five spirit stones. That meant that in a month he could easily make half what he did from alchemy.
Moreover, Jiang Ming also had some preliminary understanding of talisman-making. Even a beginner talisman master could produce more than thirty pieces a day. Even if the two of them needed to work slowly, they would make at least twenty pieces a day. Even when they took into account their failure rate, the profits were staggering.
To be honest, Jiang Ming was a little tempted. After all, he was now trying to break through the bottleneck of his martial arts realm and was short of spirit stones. This was a risk-free opportunity. Thus, it was worth a try.
“However, I don’t have much free time every day. I can only spend about four hours working with you. If that’s okay, we can go ahead!”
The profits were indeed tempting. However, he could not spend all his time on it.
“I can only make ten talismans in four hours!” Yue Changmu said.
Jiang Ming smiled faintly. “How strong are we? If we suddenly make huge profits, I’m afraid we won’t be able to spend our money. I hope you catch my drift.”
Yue Changmu’s body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He had been blinded by the benefits before. However, now he was a little clear-headed.
“Thank you for your reminder, Master Jiang!” He cupped his hands in a serious manner.
Jiang Ming waved his hand and gave him a reminder. “Let me make this clear first. You and I will cooperate. However, don’t mention my name to the outside world. If anyone finds out, tell them I only earn ten percent of the profit.”
Jiang Ming still habitually kept a low profile. He would try to fool as many people as he could. The more people he fooled, the more peaceful his life would be.
Yue Changmu nodded helplessly. He had long heard that the people in the Plant Hall were very cautious, and today he saw it with his own eyes.

The next day, Jiang Ming went to Yue Changmu’s cave abode as agreed and started to make talismans together.
However, very quickly, a violent spiritual rain swept through Yue Changmu’s house, drenching the two of them.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, “Let’s go to the courtyard and try again!”
They tried again and again. Jiang Ming estimated that he had to cast the Misty Rain Technique dozens of times before the two of them finally succeeded once.
Yue Changmu looked at the Rain Talisman in his hand and revealed a happy expression.
“Although we failed several times, we’ve made a working talisman! Let’s work harder to make it stronger!”
After three days, the two of them finally created their first complete Rain Talisman. It contained a Profound Realm Misty Rain Technique.
After that, they made several Rain Talismans, and the sales were just as Yue Changmu had predicted.
Jiang Ming had finally found another way to make money. Now he could make the demonic beast meat stew a few more times a month.

A year later, Jiang Ming’s blood Qi became more and more condensed. It was red and crystal clear like glass, containing an extremely exuberant power. If he did not use the Spirit Restriction Seal to suppress it, his whole body would be filled with a faint fragrance of extremely pure spiritual power.
Three years later, his blood Qi had been completely condensed. His body and his blood Qi seemed to have formed a cycle, nourishing each other.
In the blink of an eye, it had been eight years since Jiang Ming had returned to Xiaoqian Mountain.
On this day, Jiang Ming stood in the courtyard, his eyes calm.
“Today is the day.”
