Chapter 35 Seeking cooperation When Xiao Changqing set up his stall, he naturally would not put out all the fifty or so first-grade mid-level talismans at once. Doing this is just asking for trouble, and you're afraid nothing will go wrong. More than fifty first-grade mid-quality talismans, worth more than four hundred low-grade spirit stones. There is no other stall of such high standards in the entire market. So Xiao Changqing only took out six different types of talismans to sell. Some talismans are mainly for killing, some are mainly for defense, and some are similar to talismans that assist in escape. Xiao Changqing thought that if he could sell six talismans a day, it would be considered good. If this continues, the stock will be sold out in ten days or so. As a result, Xiao Changqing soon discovered that he had completely overestimated the purchasing power of the independent cultivators who sold things on the stalls in the market. I also underestimated how stingy these independent cultivators were and their ability to bargain. He thought he was very fair. His talismans were of the first-class, middle-grade quality and of excellent quality. In a shop like the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion, he priced the items that would cost ten low-grade spiritual stones at nine low-grade spiritual stones; the items that the Spiritual Talisman Pavilion sold for nine, he sold for eight.
Moreover, he was prepared for the price to be bargained down, and his psychological bottom line was that he could accept a reduction of one spirit stone. In other words, as long as the price is within 20% of Lingfu Pavilion's price, he will accept it and ship the goods. result. As for these independent cultivators, there are many people asking for prices, and they come in an endless stream. But after asking the price, they started to bargain it in half. Some were even more excessive, bargaining a talisman that cost ten spirit stones down to three! Xiao Changqing was too lazy to pay attention and just said he wasn't selling it. Although... when he was a customer before, he was quite aggressive in bargaining with stall owners at the market. But what he sells is not a scam, nor is it empty talk. You only need to sense each talisman to know its power. You get what you pay for. How dare these people do that? At first, Xiao Changqing thought it was an isolated case and didn't take it seriously. As time went by, he realized that this was a common phenomenon in street stalls! The main reason why these casual cultivators who visit the street stalls are not only stingy and bargaining, but also because they are either too poor to spend money or simply cannot afford it... Come to think of it, most of the customers at the market stalls are casual cultivators at the lower level of Qi Refining, and those in the middle stage of Qi Refining are a minority. Just like Xiao Changqing two and a half years ago, he was still worried about the rent of a low-grade spirit stone. How could he buy a first-grade mid-grade talisman? As for those in the late stage of Qi Refining and some local rich second-generations, they simply disdain to come to the market stalls. At the beginning, Hu Yuan was full of contempt for the market stalls and looked down on them with a condescending attitude. So after setting up the stall for half an hour, Xiao Changqing finally sold a talisman for eight low-grade spirit stones, which would have cost at least ten low-grade spirit stones in a store. Then he realized something. The talismans he is selling now are a bit high-end for a street stall in the market! If you can meet two or three monks with purchasing power in a day, you are lucky! If you are unlucky, you might return empty-handed! Even if he set the price very low, he would make a profit if he bought it, but most monks didn't even have the capital to make a profit. He set up the stall for an hour and a half on the first day, and didn't close it until the market closed. In the end, he only sold two talismans! I thought that I had bad luck on the first day, plus I had just set up the stall and no one knew about it, so sales would slowly increase from then on. result…… The next day, one! On the third day, I was lucky, got three! Day 4, two! Day five, two!
Sales volume is far below expectations! This is the result of the recent turbulence in Nanshanfang and the improvement in the market price of talismans. Otherwise, Xiao Changqing suspected that he was unlucky and his sales volume might be 0 for the day! of course. During the past few days when the stall was open, there were still many monks who came to the stall to ask for prices. Xiao Changqing could also see that most of the monks were eager for his talismans and sincerely wanted to buy them. If he breaks the bottom line and cuts his losses by more than 30%, there will be no problem in doubling or even more sales. But if this were to happen, Xiao Changqing would feel like he was at a disadvantage. "This is not a solution!" "I was originally planning to work harder and draw two more talismans every day to earn more spiritual stones. But now, I can't sell the extra talismans I draw!" Xiao Changqing put the remaining talismans on the stall into his arms with an expressionless face, and prepared to close the stall and go home. At this time, it was getting dark, most of the stall owners around had gone home, and the bustling market began to become deserted. Xiao Changqing followed the usual practice and carefully prepared to walk in the opposite direction of his home, find a place where no one was around to restore his appearance, and then go home. It was right to be cautious to prevent others from discovering his true identity. The past few days have been going smoothly. But today, Xiao Changqing had just walked out of the market after closing his stall when he vaguely felt that something seemed to be wrong. When he deliberately took a detour, temporarily changed direction, and paid full attention to the situation behind him, he found that he was indeed being followed! "Who is it? Jie Xiu?" Xiao Changqing's hair stood up all over his body and his heart beat violently. In an instant, Xiao Changqing took out two talismans. One for defense, one for attack. It was not drawn by him himself, but a first-grade top-grade talisman given to him by the shopkeeper Hong Jiantao. As long as the opponent is not a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he can ensure his own safety and kill the opponent! I have been traveling to the world of immortal cultivation for two and a half years. In fact, he has always lived a relatively stable life. Even during the most difficult period in the early stage, he never encountered any danger because he was cautious, went to work and left work at 2 o'clock, did not go out, did not explore, and did not provoke anyone. As for the recent turmoil in Nanshanfang, it did not affect him. On the surface, he is just a small basic talisman master in Lingfu Pavilion. At most, he can be considered a middle-level talisman master in Nanshanfang, and he doesn't have much money. Even any local cultivator in Nanshanfang is much richer than him. Even if there are robbers with ill intentions, they will not rob him. Who would have thought that because he was short of spirit stones, he tried to do some private work to earn some extra money, and he disguised himself and set up a stall in the market. As a result, he didn't sell many talismans and didn't make much money from spirit stones, but he was targeted by the robber cultivator first?
"Stop!" Xiao Changqing turned around suddenly and shouted. At the same time, the magic power in his hands was almost bursting out. As long as the tracker showed signs of taking action, he could kill him in the first place. But to his surprise, the person following him was a female cultivator, and he actually knew her. Or it cannot be said that we know each other, but rather that we have met once. His most important equipment at present, the Enlightenment Cushion, was bought from the other party... Lin Ziyu's sister, Lin Zixi! "Fellow Daoist, I have no ill intentions!" Lin Zixi was startled by Xiao Changqing's sudden turn and shout. She felt as if she was surrounded by a fierce and invisible murderous intent, as if needles were pricking her body, and it seemed that she would die on the spot in the next moment. Her pretty face turned pale, her legs almost went limp, and she quickly raised her hands and shook them. Xiao Changqing was slightly surprised, but he did not relax his vigilance at all. He still did not take back the talismans in his hands and was ready to use his magic power to activate them at any time. "What do you want to do by following me?" Xiao Changqing was still in disguise. He looked ferocious to begin with, and now he looked even more terrifying. "I...I want to...I want to help my fellow Taoist sell talismans." Lin Zixi has been paying attention to Xiao Changqing for several days, and has also rehearsed the scene of meeting with Xiao Changqing countless times in his mind. So even though she was very scared at this time, she still accurately stated her purpose. "Help me sell talismans?" Xiao Changqing raised his long and thick eyebrows. Lin Zixi knew that this was a rare opportunity and that time was running out, so he took a deep breath, barely suppressed his fear, and said tremblingly: "I guess you should have a lot of high-quality first-grade mid-grade talismans, but they don't sell well at the market stalls, and it's hard to get a high price... I have a channel and can help you ship in large quantities... And the price won't be lower than what you bought at the market, it may even be higher." After quickly explaining his purpose, Lin Zixi raised his hands again to indicate that he had no ill intentions. Xiao Changqing's eyes flickered and he quickly made a decision: "I don't have many talismans in my hand. I've almost sold them all. You've found the wrong person! Don't follow me anymore, or you won't blame me for being rude!" After saying that, he quickly turned and left. (End of this chapter)
