"Xiao Moxi, stop crying. Crying is useless. Don't you want to avenge your parents?"
"Now, the opportunity has come!" Chen Changsheng said slowly.
"Opportunity?" Immediately, little Moxi looked up at Chen Changsheng.
"Yes, opportunity!"
"Think about it, the Black and White Devils are bandits, everyone hates them. They definitely won't show up in the market openly, and they must be very cautious in their daily actions. Even if we want to take revenge, it will be a hassle to find them!"
"But things are different now. Your father's talisman pen actually appeared in the Treasure Pavilion. I guess that might be where the Black and White Evils sold their stolen goods!" Chen Changsheng said.
It is inevitable that the robbers have some connection with the market town!
Not all the things obtained during robbery can be used, so they must be exchanged for spirit stones.
Where to change it becomes the problem!
"Selling stolen goods, Baibao Pavilion? Then do we still need to cooperate with Baibao Pavilion?" Xiao Moxi asked.
"Of course we have to cooperate. If we don't, how can we find out the relationship between Baibao Pavilion and the Black and White Devils? And you also said that your father spent a hundred spirit stones to customize this talisman pen, but Baibao Pavilion only sold it to us for forty spirit stones. Even if it is stolen goods, selling it at a discount, a 40% discount is too much..."
"From this, we can conclude that he must have something to ask of us. Although I can't figure out the reason right now, we can take our time..."
"Revenge requires strength. Otherwise, if we find the Black and White Devils, we will only be giving them heads. It's just right that we can use the Treasure Pavilion to strengthen ourselves!" Chen Changsheng said solemnly.
"Uncle, I understand, thank you!" Xiao Moxi wiped away her tears.
"You're so polite, you've helped me a lot!"
"Now, we have talisman paper, talisman pens, and most of the materials for making talisman ink. The only thing missing is the blood of monsters. However, I have something on me that I don't know if it can be used as a substitute... Maybe we can give it a try!" Chen Changsheng said.
What he was talking about was naturally the super-grade Essence and Blood Pill!
In Chen Changsheng's opinion, ordinary monster blood is not as useful as its essence blood, right?
"Replace the blood of monsters? I heard from my father that some spiritual waters rich in spiritual energy can replace the blood of monsters. Uncle, do you have any?" Little Moxi asked.
"I don't have spiritual water, but I have this!" Chen Changsheng said, taking out a blood essence pill.
"Essence and Blood Pill? It seems to be a little different from the ones I've eaten. It's more rounded in color, and seems to be surrounded by a wisp of spiritual energy..." Xiao Moxi commented after taking a look.
"Well, this is a more advanced Essence and Blood Pill. Try dissolving it in water and using it as a material for preparing talisman ink!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Okay, then I'll try it, but I can't guarantee it will work..." Xiao Moxi said.
“Try it first!”
Chen Changsheng felt that there should be no problem.
This is a super-grade blood essence pill. It can't be inferior to the blood of ordinary monsters, right?
If it doesn’t work... get Da Huang over to bleed him?
Speaking of rhubarb, I haven't seen it for a few months. I wonder if it has been slaughtered and stewed...
Xiao Moxi first carefully ground the cinnabar, pine soot and other things into powder, then turned the blood essence pill into blood water and stirred it evenly...
Half an hour later...
"The talisman ink is ready. It looks a little different from the ones I mixed before. I don't know if it's because of my technique, or if the water made from the Essence and Blood Pill isn't working. How about you give it a try first?"
"My father once said that the quality of the talisman ink can be directly felt when drawing the talisman!" said Xiao Moxi.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!"
"What kind of talisman should I draw first?"
"Well, just draw a cleansing charm. That's the easiest!"
Chen Changsheng was very excited. Following the memories of Shan Hong and Zhou Yesen, he dipped some talisman ink and gently turned the talisman pen. The magic power in his body passed through the talisman pen and disappeared onto the talisman paper along with the talisman ink until he finished it in one go!
At this moment, a ray of spiritual light bloomed on the talisman paper, and then disappeared into the talisman ink...
"It's done? This... it's done already?" Little Moxi was stunned, not knowing what to say...
Chen Changsheng, did you really not lie to her?
Is this really his first time drawing talismans?
"Done? Xiao Moxi, you mean, I succeeded?"
Chen Changsheng immediately asked with a smile on his face.
"Yes, it succeeded. The last flash of inspiration means that the talisman you drew was successful. Otherwise, the talisman would have spontaneously combusted..." Little Moxi looked at Chen Changsheng with a strange expression.
This uncle not only has strange strength, but is also a genius in talismans?
It's incredible...
She had heard from her father how difficult it was to learn to draw talismans.
It was difficult for a casual cultivator to become a talisman maker. Firstly, it was difficult to inherit the tradition. Secondly, the learning process would consume a large amount of talisman paper and ink. Without a certain amount of family background to support them, even if they had the inheritance, they could only watch helplessly...
"Then I'll give it a try!"
As Chen Changsheng spoke, he channeled a trace of his magical power into the talisman. The talisman instantly activated, clearing the ground and sweeping away all the dust...
"It really worked!" Chen Changsheng was overjoyed.
"Uncle, is this really your first time drawing talismans?" Xiao Moxi asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"But... I heard from my father that making talismans is a very difficult thing. Some people have been studying for three to five months and still can't get started..." said Xiao Moxi.
"This... maybe it's because I already had a foundation in painting when I was in the secular world, and I'm a genius, so I drew it out in no time!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
When Chen Changsheng was still in the secular world, he fulfilled a painter's last wish and acquired his painting skills.
Although this talisman is as complicated as a ghost's talisman, it is not difficult for Chen Changsheng to draw it. Moreover, he has Zhou Yesen's experience. This old guy has been a talisman maker all his life. In terms of talisman making experience, he is probably much better than Xiao Moxi's father. With these two helps, Chen Changsheng can make talismans as if he were assisted by God!
"The secular method of painting can also help in making talismans? This is the first time I've heard of this... Uncle, can you teach me how to paint?" Little Moxi said, pulling Chen Changsheng's sleeve.
"Haha, of course no problem!" Chen Changsheng laughed.
The success of making the talisman means that they will no longer lack spirit stones for cultivation in the future!
Making talismans is a huge profit!
A bundle of talisman papers contains one hundred pieces and is worth only one spirit stone. It can be even cheaper if you buy in bulk.
Talisman ink is a bit more troublesome. You can buy it ready-made or mix it yourself. But for Chen Changsheng, who has the Essence Blood Pill, mixing talisman ink is even simpler than making talisman paper, and it costs basically nothing...
However, a finished talisman, even if it was just the most basic fireball spell, would cost five pieces of broken spirits. For Chen Changsheng, this was almost a fifty-fold profit. Even if he sold it to the Treasure Pavilion, he couldn't charge it at the market price. After all, the Treasure Pavilion also had to make some profit, so it would still be a terrifying profit.
Of course, this is just Chen Changsheng’s profit margin. For other talisman makers, it is not that simple.
Putting aside the initial investment required to learn talisman making, even after becoming a qualified talisman maker, the success rate is often only around one or two in ten. Those who can achieve between ten and thirty or four in ten are already considered masters of talisman making...
This is just the most basic talisman. If it is a first-level intermediate, advanced or even second-level talisman, the profit will be even more terrifying!
Just by doing this casual calculation, Chen Changsheng felt that there was great potential for development in the future!
