Chapter 61 Celebration
In the blink of an eye.
Wu Tao spent two days at his master Chen Shan's home. During these two days, except for the Three Yang Kung Fu, which he never set every day, he did not even practice the Dragon Spear Technique. The rest of the time, he spent almost all his time meditating on the Xuanyuan Refining. Utensil method.
The body-tempering medicinal bath has long been used up.
He spends eight yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones in the refining hall every month, which is not enough to buy medicinal materials.
Therefore, he planned to set up a stall today and sell the magical weapons he had refined in the Refining Hall for more than half a year to buy body-tempering medicinal materials and Qi-condensing pills.
There is still two days' worth of Qi Condensing Pill left.
Chen Shan's home is very big, with three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. As a weapon refiner, Chen Shan would naturally rent a house with a weapon refinement room. Although this house is not in the most prosperous area in the inner city, the rent is not too low.
Wu Tao's idea is that although Chen Shan treats him like his own son, he really feels sorry for living in Chen Shan's home for free.
Therefore, after he sold the robe and earned spiritual stones, he told his master that he would share the rent and food expenses (he alone ate more than both Chen Shan and his daughter). The hall's seal can reduce the rent by half.
Chen Shan should also have this.
After two days of contact, he became more and more familiar with Chen Yao. What surprised him was that Chen Yao did not rely solely on his father Chen Shan to support him at home, but had a job of his own in the inner city.
It is said that processing talisman paper in a talisman workshop, which is processing animal skin into talisman paper, can earn a salary of one medium-grade spiritual stone a month.
Wu Tao was very surprised when he heard about the salary. When he was in the Western Outer City, he also heard about the work of the Talisman Workshop, which required processing the bloody animal skins, shaving them, removing the minced meat, and cutting and burning them. , this is dirty work, and the salary is pitifully low. The casual cultivators who had five low-grade spiritual stones laughed.
I didn’t expect that a quiet girl like Chen Yao could endure it.
Chen Yao told him that these preliminary treatments were not actually done by her, but by other unskilled casual cultivators, and the money was pitiful, only more than twenty low-grade spiritual stones a month.
But what she does is to control the quality in the end. Only the talisman paper that can be used to draw talismans can be qualified, while the unqualified ones have to be selected and scrapped.
To be able to perform a certain profession, you must know the "Qing Ling Jue", and Chen Yao has practiced the "Qing Ling Jue" to the second level.
Maozheng.
Wu Tao and Chen Shan's father and daughter had breakfast at home. Wu Tao was going to set up a stall in the market, while Chen Yao was going to work in the Talisman Workshop.
Chen Shan stayed at home. In the past two days, he began to write down the secret manual for refining the "Fire Spear" so as not to forget it.
"Ayao, I'll take you to the workshop." Wu Tao said to Chen Yao after packing up the magical artifacts to be sold today.
"Thank you, senior brother." Chen Yao nodded.
Immediately, the two went out together.
On the way, the two of them chatted casually, and Wu Tao suddenly asked: "Those casual cultivators who have more than 20 low-grade spiritual stones in January, where do they live?"
He thought, the rent in the inner city is so expensive, how can he afford it with this little spiritual stone?
Chen Yao explained:
"Some people live in shantytowns. Brother, although the inner city is prosperous, there are also several shantytowns in the inner city. There is actually no difference between them and the outer city. The shantytowns are full of people, and some have no houses to live in. It’s in the outer city, but if you live in the outer city, it might take you two hours to travel every day.”
"In fact, I am also blessed by my father. Otherwise, with my salary of a middle-grade spiritual stone, how could I afford to live in such a good house."
After Wu Tao listened, he was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "So that's it..."
"Brother, I'm here!"
Chen Yao stopped.
Wu Tao paused for a moment, then stopped and looked at the door of the Talisman Workshop. At the door, a uniformed immortal cultivator was holding a mirror to exorcise evil spirits. Everyone entering the workshop must take a look, and also Check the work certificate issued by the workshop. Non-workshop personnel are not allowed to enter.
"Chen Yao, who is this?"
At this moment, a female cultivator who was five or six years older than Chen Yao came over and looked at Wu Tao with a look of gossip on her face.
Chen Yao said: "This is my senior brother Li Mo, my father's apprentice, who sent me to the workshop."
Chen Yao was also informed about Wu Tao's pseudonym Li Mo, and everyone outside called Wu Tao Senior Brother Li Mo.
When the female cultivator heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she stepped forward as she spoke: "Hello, brother Li, I am Chen Yao's good friend Li Xue, and I also work in this talisman workshop..."
"Hey!" Wu Tao always felt that Li Xue had some evil intentions, as if he wanted to eat people.
Chen Yao quickly grabbed Li Xue, pulled her away, and said in a very fast tone: "Go in quickly, the time to start work is coming soon. Senior brother, I will come to Fangshi to find you after I get off work."
"No, the market closes early, I'll pick you up, otherwise the master will kill me when I get back."
Wu Tao shouted to her.
He watched Chen Yao pull Li Xue into the workshop. They were young and beautiful, wearing robes. Chen Yao was also wearing spiritual travel boots. Next to him, there were casual cultivators wearing ordinary clothes, with faces on their faces. They all looked tired. When they saw Chen Yao and Li Xue, they couldn't help but let them go forward without even daring to look at them.
Wu Tao turned around and left, directly coming to Fangshi.
Armed with a weapon refining certificate, which bore the seal of the Wuquan Mountain Weapon Refining Hall, Wu Tao successfully rented a stall and placed all the instruments on the stall.
Ten pairs of spirit-traveling boots and twenty spirit-absorbing robes.
As for the other spirit-absorbing robes and small spiritual light-shielding robes, he kept them at home and did not sell them all.
(Mainly because I can’t take that much.)
As the war subsided, prices fell back to their previous levels.
Therefore, his prices are normal, with a pair of spirit-traveling boots costing five medium-grade spiritual stones and a pair of spiritual-absorbing robes costing one hundred and two low-grade spiritual stones.
Perhaps because the battle between Wuquan Mountain and Ghost Dao Sect came so suddenly, the casual cultivators suffered from the sequelae of the war, and the seeds of being prepared for danger in times of peace were planted in their hearts. This kind of escape and life-preserving magic weapon sold particularly well.
As soon as Wu Tao set up his stall, some casual cultivators came to inquire.
In one morning, he sold six pairs of spirit travel boots and ten spirit-absorbing robes.
Forty-two middle-grade spiritual stones and twenty low-grade spiritual stones were received.
Wu Tao had never earned so much, and he was extremely happy. He planned to buy ten kilograms of monster meat after closing the stall, and celebrate today.
Today's business was unprecedentedly good, and Wu Tao sold all the magic weapons he brought with him when there was still an hour left before the closing time.
A total of seventy middle-grade spiritual stones and forty low-grade spiritual stones were collected.
All of this belongs to him and he doesn’t have to pay taxes.
"It's right to go to the Refining Hall to answer the call. Otherwise, you will have to pay nearly seven yuan of middle-grade spiritual stones in tax this time. It's so nice to be tax-free for one year!" Wu Tao felt elated.
After putting away the stall, he placed the spirit stones close to his body, and then planned to visit the market and buy a gift for Chen Yao.
A greeting gift from a senior brother.
As for the pair of Lingyou boots, he thanked Chen Shan for borrowing the weapon refining room, not counting.
After shopping around, I found that I couldn't find a gift that suited Chen Yao's temperament.
I have to sigh, it is really difficult to choose gifts for girls.
Finally, Wu Tao saw a magic weapon refining secret book at a stall. It was a jade pendant magic weapon, level one and four. He stood in front of the stall and thought about it, and thought to himself: "The magic weapon I refined by myself is even better." with honesty."
So I bought this secret book.
Afterwards, Wu Tao went to the medicine shop and pill shop to buy Qi Condensation Pills and body-tempering medicines. For two months of medicinal materials, the amount of mid-grade spiritual stones is reduced by twelve; for two months of Qi Condensing Pills, the amount of mid-grade spiritual stones is reduced by three.
I purchased another batch of forbidden spiritual boards.
He is now practicing the first-order and sixth-level combined restraints. The required restraint training spirit board must be of better quality, otherwise it will not be able to carry the first-order and sixth-level restraints and it will be extremely easy to collapse.
High-quality forbidden practice spirit boards are naturally more expensive, with one low-grade spirit stone for each. This cost another mid-grade spiritual stone.
I also bought 20 medium-grade spiritual stones in this store, which are the spiritual materials for refining spiritual travel boots.
There were too many of these things, and there happened to be a home delivery service, so Wu Tao wrote down an address and asked the store to deliver them to his home.
After doing this, he went to the monster meat shop and bought ten pounds of first-level intermediate monster meat.
First-order intermediate monster meat is not as cheap as first-order elementary monster meat. Ten kilograms costs one middle-grade spiritual stone.
I heard the meat seller say it's a great supplement.
Wu Tao likes to take more supplements, the better.
He still had thirty-three middle-grade spiritual stones on his body. Wu Tao originally planned to buy a storage bag, but when he thought about having to tell his master about rent and food, he thought about buying it after selling the magic weapon next time.
Carrying ten pounds of monster meat, Wu Tao went to the Talisman Workshop to take Chen Yao home.
Arriving at the entrance of the workshop, Chen Yao was already standing there waiting for him. Seeing that he was holding a large bag of monster meat in his hand, he was surprised and said, "Senior brother, why did you buy so much meat?"
Wu Tao smiled and said: "Today is a good day. I am happy and want to celebrate."
"Tell me what makes you happy?"
"Anyway, I'm just happy, I can't say it, I can't say it."
Wu Tao looked mysterious.
…
Today is indeed a good day, hahahaha... get ready to eat Japanese food...
