Chapter 197 Purchasing Talisman-making Materials
"I don't know what kind of material this little brother wants to buy?"

Shopkeeper Cai of Jiangnan Fudian asked politely.

Xie Chen pondered for a while, "The most basic talisman-making materials are fine, I use them for practice."

This is also what Fu Lao told him. He just started learning talisman making, and he didn't have high requirements for talisman making materials, as long as it could be used.

In the beginning, the talisman making must have a high failure rate, and some materials will be consumed. If the materials are used every time, even if Xie Chen has sufficient financial resources, he will not be able to support it.

When the level of talisman making improves and high-grade inscription talismans can be manufactured, more advanced materials will be required.

"That's easy. This way please."

Shopkeeper Cai said as he guided, "This is a Zhuge brush, made of brush hair, with soft bristles, 490 taels of silver..."

"This is the most common Hui ink, 290 nine taels of silver per bottle..."

"Xuan paper is the basic talisman-making paper, but it is widely spread. It costs ten taels of silver per sheet, and you can get a discount for large quantities."

"This is She inkstone, made of black crystal stone, it can be preserved for 60 years without being destroyed, and the price is 790 eight taels of silver. Besides that, Tao inkstone is also a good choice..."

Xie Chen was speechless while listening to shopkeeper Cai's introduction. This small piece of paper costs ten taels of silver. This material is really expensive.

Hearing Xie Chen's muttering, Elder Fu said, "What is this? , Hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels of silver are possible, and there will be returns only if you invest, and your current investment will be doubled in the future, so don't be reluctant."

What Old Fu said made Xie Chen dumbfounded. This talisman really burns money. Fortunately, he found a lot of gold and silver from the enemy, especially the headquarters of the Dark Night Hall. There is no shortage of money in a short period of time.

However, Xie Chen felt a little headache when he thought about the sky-high price of money needed to buy materials in the future. He let out a sigh of relief, "I hope to learn how to make talismans as soon as possible, to make inscription talismans, and to sell them to make money is the best way..."

Xie Chen thought about it, and said directly to the shopkeeper Cai: "Here are five lake brushes, twenty bottles of emblem ink, three hundred sheets of rice paper, and one Duan inkstone..."

These things cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, but Xie Chen didn't blink and didn't hesitate.

He bought these materials after Fu Lao's guidance, which can meet the needs of refining first-grade inscription symbols.

Xie Chen said the materials he wanted to buy in one breath, Shopkeeper Cai was taken aback when he heard that, although he has done a lot of big business, it is still rare for someone like Xie Chen to buy so many materials at the beginning of his study of talisman making, he seemed very proud .

Shopkeeper Cai couldn't help taking a careful look at Xie Chen, seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes and his appearance was nothing special, he seemed to be an ordinary family member, so he couldn't help hesitating.

But when he saw Nangong Xin'er next to him, he felt relieved, knowing that someone would pay for it, so he immediately ordered the staff to bring what Xie Chen needed.

Tingting was shocked when she saw it, "Mr. Xie, do you have so much money?"

She looked at Xie Chen suspiciously.

You know, one tael of silver is one thousand taels of silver, and a bun is only five copper coins, and a bowl of noodles is usually fifty taels. A family of three can only spend no more than 30 taels of silver a month. Even if Xie Chen is in the family It is impossible to have so much money if you can get a few taels of silver in a month!
Tingting thought so, Nangong Xiner also doubted, although she did not deny that Xie Chen is very strong in martial arts, but it does not mean that he is rich.

"It seems that you expect me to pay you?"

Nangong Xin'er rolled her eyes, looked at Xie Chen, and frowned slightly. This guy, wouldn't he want to take advantage of her? Although he can afford the money, he won't help others casually.

"No, I'll pay for it myself."

Facing the suspicious eyes of Tingting and Nangong Xiner, Xie Chen calmly took out a ten thousand taels of silver bill from the storage container, and handed it directly to shopkeeper Cai, asking him to pay the bill.

Shopkeeper Cai looked at the banknotes in his hand, as if they were fakes, his questioning expression disappeared, and he nodded at Xie Chen, looking at Xie Chen with even more respect.

If you have money, there are people behind you. You can't offend such a person. You have to make friends as much as possible. This is a big customer.

Every talisman maker is piled up with money.

It's not surprising that there are many people who want to learn how to make talismans, but less than one in ten can afford to make talismans for a long time, which is very rare. Obviously, Xie Chen is such a person who is not short of money.

Shopkeeper Cai's complexion became even better. After all, he was a businessman, and even the guys who ran errands worked harder.

"Hey, Mr. Xie, can't you tell, you are quite rich."

There was some surprise in Tingting's eyes, which was beyond her expectation.

Looking at it this way, people from the branch clan may not necessarily be poor.

Nangong Xin'er's complexion was even more complicated. She felt embarrassed by the thought just now, "I thought he couldn't afford the money, I didn't expect... This Xie Chen must have some unknown secret."

Thinking of this, Nangong Xiner's embarrassment disappeared, replaced by a hint of curiosity, and her interest in Xie Chen became stronger.

"Okay, everything is ready, let's go."

Xie Chen glanced at Tingting and Nangong Xin'er, seeing that they were still frozen in place, he reminded them.

"okay."

Tingting ran all the way to keep up with Xie Chen's pace.

Nangong Xin'er also got up lazily from her chair, and glanced at shopkeeper Cai, "Shopkeeper, I'll come back next time."

"Okay, welcome again, you go slowly."

Shopkeeper Cai kept sending Xie Chen and others to the door before turning around.

Xie Chen has bought something and has nothing else to do.

"Okay, it's time for me to say goodbye."

A few servants and guards were standing at the door with blank faces, waiting for Nangong Xiner's order. At this moment, Nangong Xiner came out bouncing around, and took out a bunch of candied haws in her hands like a conjurer, licked them in her mouth, served In terms of her petite figure and rather cute appearance, she looks harmless to humans and animals, innocent and innocent.

But Xie Chen knew that this woman was not as simple as she appeared on the surface, he couldn't see through her cultivation, at least she was in the middle stage of the Gang Qi Realm, and he would only know it after fighting against her.

Nangong Xin'er looked like she was about to say goodbye, but before she finished, she said, "Xie Chen, this time I will help you so much, you will agree to a small request, right?"

Nangong Xiner blinked her eyes, looking confident.

Xie Chen pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a helpless expression, "Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, so tell me, what do you want me to do."

Xie Chen has known for a long time that others will not help you for no reason. Generally speaking, you have something that the other party needs. This is called equivalent exchange.

"I'm not asking you to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, with such an expression. Cough, you also know that I will hold various wind and cloud competitions, issue rankings, and there will be a wind and cloud conference in a month. Warriors will basically participate, especially those with outstanding talents, who happen to show their skills on this stage, don't you want to make Hongzhou famous?"

Nangong Xiner looked at Xie Chen with a smile.

"I really don't care about this kind of reputation. Say something that will move me more."

It doesn't sound like a bad thing, Xie Chen thought, if it's good for him, why not do it?
"This is an annual grand event. It is attended by young heroes from various families, sects and major forces. The age limit is under 20 years old. You just meet the conditions and you have a great hope of winning the championship. What we hope is that you can participate, so that With your strength, it is very hopeful to win the championship, and we will focus on promoting you at that time, and you, a man of the hour, will naturally boost the sales of our Billboard."

Nangong Xiner had a plan in mind. She knew what the participation of a master would mean to a competition. An attractive master participating in a competition would inevitably attract many people to watch. It was greatly eclipsed, no one paid attention, the popularity was naturally low, and the organizer's influence was greatly reduced.

And once the upset result appears, the sales of the Billboard will be very hot, and a large number of people will want to know the result of this competition and the ranking of the masters who participated in the conference through the Billboard.

"I'm afraid there is still a gamble."

In this kind of conference, if no one bets on winning or losing, Xie Chen doesn't believe it, this is probably the main income of Fengyunhui.

After all, Xie Chen came to Hongdu Mansion for a short time, and not many people know about it. If he can win the championship of Fengyun Conference as a dark horse, then the person who set up the game will definitely make a lot of money.

"Hee hee, you're pretty smart."

Nangong Xin'er did not deny it.

"Aren't you afraid that I will lose? What if I fail to enter the final and lose early and lose the qualification? Wouldn't your Fengyun Club lose money? This investment will be in vain. This risk is not small of."

Xie Chen asked intentionally.

"Is the risk high?" Nangong Xin'er suddenly withdrew her smile, and looked at Xie Chen, "According to the information we got before and your combat history, winning this Fengyun Conference may be easy, right?"

Nangong Xiner stared at Xie Chen, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Haha..." Xie Chen smiled, noncommittal.

"What rewards are there for this conference?"

"The fourth-grade middle-class elixir, Jiuhua Yulu Pill! It can greatly increase your cultivation. Of course, the most important thing is that you can become famous!"

Nangong Xiner stared at Xie Chen with burning eyes.

It is every teenager's dream to become famous, especially for young people with ambitions. Nangong Xiner does not believe that Xie Chen has no idea about this.

"Hehe." Xie Chen smiled, "Okay, I agree!"

This is not a big favor. For him, he can participate or not. Since there are rewards, why not participate?Just take this opportunity to get to know other talented warriors in Hongdu Mansion, and to hone your martial skills and cultivation, maybe you will gain something.

Xie Chen will not be so arrogant that he thinks that the young generation in Hongdu Mansion is invincible. There are many geniuses, and they all have their own skills. You only need to compete to know.

Many people's secret methods emerge in endlessly and are all kinds of strange. You can't rest on your laurels in cultivation. It is also beneficial to participate in such competitions.

"Okay! Then it's settled. You must come to the Wind and Cloud Conference in a month's time! This is the Wind and Cloud Post, and you can use the post to enter the competition at that time."

Nangong Xin'er handed Xie Chen a gold-plated invitation card, then sat on the flying chair, smiled coquettishly at Xie Chen, and under the protection of four servants, she slowly lifted off the ground and flew towards the distance.

This scene stunned the passers-by around. Many ordinary people had never seen such a scene, and they discussed it for a while.

"It's really rich and powerful. It will be great when I have such a treasure."

Xie Chen sighed for a while.

Chairs like Nangong Xin'er are special treasures that can only be made by specialized skilled craftsmen. They are very valuable and allow warriors to experience the feeling of flying in advance. It can be said that few people in the entire Hongdu Mansion can enjoy such treasures.

"Master Xie, is it time to come with me to meet the landlord of my house?"
