In the small courtyard, Wutong, who was facing a career crisis, was panicking, but he still forced himself to calm down.
There is still a chance!
Don't panic.
She took a few deep breaths, picked up the scroll, and said to Lao Jiang:
“This thing doesn’t require any technical skills, and I’ve made similar talisman papers for some cash-strapped independent cultivators before, so I’m quite experienced.
Neither 'spiritual paper' nor 'red cinnabar' was used, but ordinary cinnabar mixed with chicken blood and dog blood.
But the spiritual patterns I wrote were very standard.
This will shorten the shelf life of the talisman paper by more than half, and it will become ineffective in two months at most.
And the smell was not very pleasant, so I added some sandalwood.
But the talisman paper is for one-time use after all, so as long as it has not expired, the effect obtained by activating it is exactly the same as the original one.
However, without the spiritual red cinnabar, it is impossible to write high-level spiritual patterns.
At most, it is at the level of Qi training realm spells."
At this point, Wutong pursed his lips and said:
"I can only write to this level. It is impossible to learn more advanced talisman patterns without joining Liangyi Weichen Mountain or its affiliated sects."
Liangyi Weichen Mountain, as the name suggests, is a Taoist sect.
It is also one of the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance, like Mo Shuang Mountain.
This sect in the central East has almost monopolized the high-level talismans in the cultivation world. In addition to talismans, it also uses the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Method and the Dragon and Tiger Nine Revolutions Manual for body training.
He is also famous for his secret techniques of summoning gods and using them to fight.
“Yo, this looks good.”
A smile appeared on Lao Jiang's lips.
He took the scroll and injected spiritual power into it.
The fancy scroll quickly caught fire, turning into flying ashes and emitting a scent of sandalwood. At the same time, a layer of shining golden light covered Lao Jiang's body.
He stood out like a heavenly soldier.
This thing is called the Golden Light Talisman, a type of low-level talisman paper.
After being lit, it can resist evil spirits within thirty breaths, and can also allow the user to cause additional damage to ghosts and evil spirits with every move.
There is not much demand for this kind of thing in Kumu Realm.
But in the Red Moon World, it is definitely a hot-selling item.
According to Old Sane's last report, among the series of goods that Old Jiang deposited in the Helford Manor, apart from the classic spirit-enchanted firearms, the talisman paper was the best-selling one.
The elixir is just a little bit short.
It's not that the effect is bad, but it's too expensive.
Old Saan even had to dissolve the pills in wine, and add some essences and other things to make them look like small bottles of "magic potions" in order to make a small profit but quick turnover and open up sales.
Wutong saw a smile on the boss's face.
She felt relieved.
He picked up the modular spirit-infused HK rifle with some effort and showed the spirit engraving on the gun to his boss. This time, Wutong seemed a little unsure.
She said:
"I have studied the art of possessing spirits, which is much easier than the five-element ink talismans. I have also gained some experience of my own. Boss, look at these three talismans.
I found that although they look complicated, only a part of them actually work, and the other runes... are probably just for show."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Old Jiang, who was covered with golden light, blinked his eyes immediately. Old Saen had told Jiang Xia about the "decoration" of the spirit-attached mark before.
In fact, those decorations are not meaningless.
They can enhance each other's magical power when they are formed into high-level complex arrays through spiritual carving, but Lao Jiang did not open that part of knowledge to Wutong.
So Wutong was not wrong when he said that some of these low-level spiritual carvings were wasted.
He asked curiously:
"How did you find this out?"
Wutong smiled awkwardly, and she said helplessly in a low voice:
“That… maybe it’s a talent.”
“I understand.”
Lao Jiang snapped his fingers and signaled Wutong to continue.
The latter breathed a sigh of relief and continued:
“I streamlined those useless parts, shortening the time it took Master Craftsman Malte to complete the spiritual engraving by about one third, while still ensuring the effect of the spiritual engraving.
There is actually not much room for improvement in this area. If it is reduced further, the spiritual carvings will not be able to form a formation.
However, there are many controllable costs in the production process of this gun.
I asked Master Craftsman Malte to hollow out the buttstock, and there was no need to emphasize the use of the "modular" design that I didn't quite understand, such as lights, sights, muzzle flash suppressors and the like..."
Wutong secretly glanced at the boss's expression, and she said boldly:
"I think it just looks better and is very useful for mortal soldiers, but monks generally don't need these accessories. We don't even need to blindly pursue changes in the appearance of firearms.
I think the bolt action rifle is pretty good.
Why use iron when you can use wood? The power of this spirit-attached spear actually has nothing to do with its appearance. It can only fire bullets.
Isn't its real effectiveness focused on spiritual carving?"
The question was so tricky that Lao Jiang was unable to answer it for a while.
He looked at the streamlined version of HK in front of him. He had no idea about it before, but now he looked carefully and found that all the useless decorations had been removed and it did not affect its usability.
“There is a difference between automatic and semi-automatic.”
Lao Jiang thought for a few seconds and said:
"The appearance can be simple, but the firepower cannot be distinguished. Just take firearms as an example. A cultivator at the True Realm holding a bolt-action rifle will definitely not be able to defeat a cultivator at the Qi Training Realm holding a Spirit-Attached Gatling Gun."
"But how many Qi training cultivators can afford such a powerful Vulcan Cannon?"
Wutong blinked and asked back:
“I also visited the Vulcan Cannon. It is indeed a powerful magical weapon that I could never imagine. I even think it is qualified to be called a low-grade magical weapon.
But that's no use.
It costs too much.
Boss, I've calculated the price. The profit you make from selling one Vulcan cannon is the same as the profit you make from selling hundreds of bolt-action spirit rifles.
However, most of the independent cultivators cannot afford the Vulcan Cannon.
For them, the best weapon is a bolt-action rifle that is inexpensive, good quality and can be repaired if broken. Boss , you have never been a casual cultivator, so you don't understand their mentality.
If a problem can be solved with ten cents, they will never spend a penny more.
So I have a suggestion.”
The female cultivator looked at the boss' thoughtful expression. She keenly felt that she had passed the test, so she plucked up her courage and took the initiative to say to Jiang Xia:
"Boss, the guns have been sold, why don't you provide them with maintenance services? Since we are the only ones who can make gun barrels at a low price, why don't you arrange for them?
The recycled gun barrels can be reused and sold to mortal armies. Anyway, at that stage, they don’t pursue too high accuracy.
And there are also spirit-attached bullets.
Why do we have to sell them by the box?
Why can't they be sold in boxes?
Judging from the frequency of combat of ordinary casual cultivators, the box of bullets that comes with a gun when they buy it can probably be used for a long time. If they are asked to buy boxes of them, they will feel it is a waste.
But if they encounter something, they are still willing to spend the money to buy a few boxes of more powerful and effective hardcover bullets for self-defense.
Although I have only been in Kunlun Square for a few days, I can feel that, Boss, you are used to doing large-scale business with the mortal court.
Some of them are out of touch with reality and always think about selling a large amount at one time.
This won't work.
You have to grasp the ideas of independent cultivators. In our Fengming country, there is no cultivation. Most independent cultivators are at a low level and have no way to make money, just like me.
They are the kind of people who don’t waste if they can. Only by being thrifty can we, the poor people who have to spend every cent carefully, go further on the path of cultivation.”
Old Jiang remained silent.
He silently put the cigarette in his hand to his lips and took a puff. In the smoke, he said to Wutong in front of him:
"You, stop being a quality inspector."
"ah?"
Wutong was startled.
Her face fell and she had a bad feeling that her boss was going to fire her. Could it be that what she said just now was too direct and hurt the boss's self-esteem?
The trading standards of Kunlun Fang are set by the boss.
ah!
I really lost my mind. I just joined Kunlun Square, how dare I talk back to the boss like this?
Her legs were trembling, and she was about to beg for mercy, but she saw Lao Jiang pointing at the table and saying to her:
"You go take care of Fengshan Market!
They just happen to be in need of a person in charge. The fourth brother is already very tired from running around all day. And after all, this is a business matter related to monks. It is not a good idea to let a mortal like him handle it."
“Ah, this…”
Wutong stood there for a moment.
She felt like she was struck by lightning. It was not entirely true that happiness came too suddenly.
I still feel a bit uneasy.
In fact, she also went to Fengshan Market when it first opened.
As a casual cultivator, she walked around the place and not only did she not buy anything, she also ate and drank for free in the rest area. It was the best meal she had had in that period of time.
Well.
Of course, not all casual cultivators are as miserable as Wutong.
After all, her situation is special.
This was not over yet. Lao Jiang's storage ring flashed, and the introductory mortal realm exercises in the "Mo Jing" that Wang Liufu had given him before, as well as the subsequent Qi training realm exercises issued by the sect after he entered Mo Shuang Mountain, were all thrown on the table.
He flicked the ash from his cigarette and said to Wutong:
"Take it and learn it."
" this……"
Wutong took a look at the ancient book and shook her head frantically. She said timidly:
"I dare not. I am not a disciple of Mo Shuang Mountain. If I were to be discovered secretly learning someone else's skills, I would be reduced to a mortal by the Mingli Academy."
She had just finished speaking.
I saw the boss curled his lips, took out a communication stone and answered the call.
Say to that side:
"Old Wang, I'll add someone to the outer sect, is that okay?"
"casual!"
"Don't disturb me while I'm studying. I'm studying this brilliant paper! If you disturb my train of thought again, I'll beat you up!"
The outer sect elder Wang Liufu's very irritable voice came from the communication stone, and then he hung up the phone in angrily. Old Jiang was leisurely in front of Wutong.
He took out a blank seal for outer disciples , casually engraved her name on it, threw it to her, and then put out the cigarette butt on the inferior version of the Spirit Turtle Seal.
As the sparks rose, Boss Jiang said to the humble female cultivator in front of him:
"Now that you are one, go and learn it."
"Shua"
Wutong reacted quickly, due to his desire for good skills as a casual cultivator, and he grasped the two Mo Sutras tightly in his hands, as if he had grasped the future.
There are many skills in making tools in Kumu Realm, which are classified into different categories. For example, Lao Jiang's Secret Scroll of Attached Spirits can also be regarded as a tool-making inheritance. There are many small inheritances like this.
But the most recognized supreme holy scripture in this line will always belong to the Five Elements Ink Talismans passed down secretly by Mo Shuang Mountain.
As a tool maker, if you don’t learn this, you will always be at the bottom.
"I heard that your perverted and sadistic master destroyed your spiritual roots?"
Lao Jiang asked again.
The tone is gentle.
Wutong shook her body and nodded silently. Then, she smelled a medicinal fragrance that permeated her mind. She raised her head and saw Lao Jiang playing with an exquisite jade bottle in his hand.
"Do you know what this thing is?"
He asked.
Wutong's eyes were wide open, staring at the jade bottle of precious medicine, nodding frantically.
In a hoarse and unpleasant voice he said:
“I know, Huitianbao medicine.
I saw it once at an auction in Fengshan Market. It was bought by a Cunzhen cultivator from Wuling Country who was traveling here for 16,000 immortal coins."
"Well, since you know it, I don't need to explain its effects."
Jiang Xia played with the precious medicine in his hand and said to Wutong:
"It may be able to revive your destroyed spiritual roots... But now, I will not give it to you. Sixteen thousand immortal coins, remember this, Wutong.
When you earn enough money for me, it will be yours.
Now, go find Julie.
Let her give you a formal 'induction ceremony'.
I will also open up the advanced knowledge of the Soul Attachment Secret Scroll to you. After you become proficient in the Mo Fu, the blueprints of the magic tools for the Qi training realm at Mo Shuang Mountain will also be open to you.
Remember what I told you, do a good job of quality control and stop cutting corners.
Let’s pack up and go to Fengshan in a few days.
Oh, right.
I thought you might be interested in hanging out with me."
Old Jiang stood up and said to the Wutong tree in front of him:
"Go and see, your master's end, or send him off in person, will happen in the next few days."
"Work hard in the future, and you will definitely get the benefits."
After saying that, Lao Jiang walked out of the room leisurely.
"Plop"
A muffled sound was heard behind him, and there was also a low cry as if releasing all the grievances and sufferings. Jiang Xia stopped but did not look back.
He doesn't want all his employees to be grateful to him.
Old Jiang disdains to do anything that requires repayment of favors.
What he pursues is a powerful group that is formed through the unity of interests, is dynamic, can actively plunder, and can actively create value and wealth.
But how to say it.
Doing good things occasionally always makes people happy.
Just as he declared to Liu Ruyi at that time.
He is not the one who longs for change to come, he is the one who brings change.
As he changed Ruyue's life.
Today, he changed another woman's future.
This is a good thing.
Without a doubt.
