Immortal Fu Yongxiang

Chapter 5 A father’s wish

It takes an hour to walk from Xiaosang Village to Qili Town. We set out before dawn and arrived at the town just in time for the shops to open.

Although the existence of cultivators is widely known, it is still too far away from ordinary mortals. In Qili Town, there is only one company that collects blank talismans. Therefore, Mo Shi'an did not go anywhere else when he arrived in the town, but went straight to Jixiang Grocery Store.

This auspicious grocery store is very famous in Qili Town. It is the largest grocery store in the town. You can buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots and pans, and other daily necessities here. The big shopkeeper is not often in the store. The second shopkeeper sits in the middle.

"Hey, there are a lot of them today!" The second shopkeeper only took a look at the thickness, and he roughly knew that there were only a few craftsmen making talisman in Qili Town, and he certainly knew Shi An. I have been settled in Xiaosang Village for six or seven years. I have been doing this business since I came here. My skills were a bit raw at first, but they have gotten better and better over the years.

Since half the year is full of winter snow, there are only less than five months suitable for making talismans, excluding windy and rainy days. Throughout the year, there are not many days to make talisman paper. Lucky groceries There is a certain amount of spiritual stone powder and other talisman-making materials on the shop account. He knows Shi An, and they are all cleared at once. His family has a "rich and noble" daughter, who can't afford the materials, so she runs away. He is also the most diligent.

Afraid of remembering wrongly, the second shopkeeper looked through the account book, and it was clearly recorded on it that Shi An did only take one piece of information back. According to the usual number, there should only be sixty pieces, but here, there are seven. Ten sheets.

"Luckily, I cut a few more pieces." Mo Shi'an looked very reserved, as if he didn't dare to say anything.

The second shopkeeper raised his eyes to look at him, knowing that he always talked little, and then his eyes fell on the pile of talisman papers. It seemed casual, but in fact he had touched every talisman paper.

No corners were cut, everything is top quality.

A flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, "It is not easy for someone of your brother's age to have such craftsmanship. Yes, yes, yes. The price of this talisman today will be the same as in the past. I will raise another [-]%, and we will trade it at this price in the future." , what do Brother Shi think?"

Mo Shian's face showed an expression of surprise at the right time, and he just kept saying thank you stupidly.

The second shopkeeper seemed very satisfied with his reaction and asked again how many materials he planned to buy this time. As expected, Mo Shian asked for two copies this time.

The price of this blank talisman paper in the market of cultivators is basically the same, [-] pieces for a standard spiritual stone.

This standard spiritual stone is also a low-grade spiritual stone, and above it there are medium-grade spiritual stones, high-grade spiritual stones and top-grade spiritual stones. The amount of spiritual energy stored is different, and the value is also different. The rate of progress between low-grade and high-grade spiritual stones is also That is to say, 100 yuan of low-grade spiritual stone is equal to the value of a medium-grade spiritual stone, and 100 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for a high-grade spiritual stone...and so on.

Spiritual stones, because they are indispensable and widely used in the practice of cultivators, have become the currency among cultivators to measure the value of all items.

The materials used to make the talisman: spirit stone powder, star grass and green rain bamboo are not common things in the world. For example, star grass and green rain bamboo originally grew in the wild, but they can be dug and transplanted through the perseverance of countless cultivators. , it is now difficult to find it in the wild. There are only some sporadic wild species in the deep mountains and forests where few people set foot.

Spirit stones are stored in mountains. The mined raw spirit stones are large and irregular in shape. In order to facilitate measurement, people cut the spirit stones into six rhombus shapes with finger thickness, inch width and one finger length.

Spiritual stone powder is the unavoidable remaining product of cutting spiritual stones.

The skill of making talisman paper is not a secret in the world of cultivation, and the amount of each material is almost transparent. Therefore, these materials are sold by ingredients. However, in the process of making talismans, some small additions and subtractions can make a difference. It depends on the individual. The blank talisman paper made by skilled and experienced hands will naturally be better, otherwise, it will be worse.

A standard spirit stone with twenty blank talismans is the market price, and it is in Fangshi. At Jixiang Grocery Store in Qili Town, the purchase price is only 70 taels.You are right, it is 70 taels of white silver, but it is not a spiritual stone.

Mortals are not qualified to use spiritual stones as currency.

Of course, if you are lucky and pick up one or two spiritual stones, you will become rich overnight!

One spiritual stone can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, which still has great purchasing power in this mortal world.

Of course, this kind of exchange method is extremely disadvantageous, but there is a huge difference between cultivators and mortals. It's good that they didn't steal your money in vain. If you are not satisfied, you will only die.

Mo Shi'an's seventy blank talismans could originally be sold for 240 and a half taels, so adding 260% to the price is 200, nine taels and a half of silver. When buying the materials at Jixiang's shop, one spiritual stone per portion, converted into silver taels, is [-] taels.

It seems that this talisman paper can be sold for a lot of money, but after selling and buying it, there are less than 70 taels left. It is because the price is increased by 45%. According to usual, he only makes a profit of [-] taels.

The second shopkeeper was generous and gave him a round sum of 70 taels.

Mo Shian sighed inwardly. If he were in the market, these blank talisman papers could be sold for at least three standard spirit stones. Excluding the two spirit stones for purchasing materials, and exchanging them for silver according to the unequal ratio, the price would still be 100 taels.

Putting his thoughts away, Mo Shi'an went out with 70 taels of "huge money" in his arms, walked left, and entered Baicao Hall again.

After preparing medicine for ten days and spending 50 taels of silver, Mo Shi'an was cruel and bought an ox, along with a matching cart. He went for another 15 taels, drove the ox cart around the town, and bought Rice noodles, a piece of plain floral cloth and a bottle of wine were carried in his arms, and he happily returned home with an almost empty money bag.

************************************************** ********
The oxcart swayed all the way into Xiaosang Village, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the village.

Apart from the village chief's family, only the old Chen family raised an old scalper. It was already one of the few wealthy families in the village. When the young man from the old Chen family wanted to marry a wife, the matchmakers from the eight villages in the ten miles almost didn't get through to their family. Just for such a beast.

Seeing Shi An driving the bullock cart back, he was sour, jealous, and so on, all different, but the deep envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes were very unified, straight and clear. It's infiltration.

"Why did you buy this beast?" Su Niang said angrily. She complained a little about Mo Shian spending money lavishly, but she touched here and there, looking at the strong calf with a happy face.

"Although our land is not much, it is too hard for you to be the only one. With this beast, it saves effort. Besides, I am thinking about taking Xiaoyi and Xiaoyu to go shopping in the town. The children are so big. I haven't been out yet..." Mo Shi'an's voice was hearty, and he was filled with joy from the inside out. "In the future, we will buy dozens of acres of land, build two yards, and recruit two sons-in-law..."
