Chapter 12 The Bottom of Society
Looking at the magic, Wang Zijia showed a pleasant expression. Sure enough, with a hundred points of value, the magic can be directly introduced.
With a happy face, he let the weight fly, and slowly disappeared. Only a golden balance was left in the sea of consciousness, surrounded by surging mist.
Wang Zijia, who wanted to go out and try to make it, looked at the lonely balance and paused.
As his consciousness flickered, many light points of weights emerged and slowly spliced together in the air.
Cultivation: Innate
Skill: Shadow
Martial Arts: Nineteen Cuts of the Dragon Short Knife
Magic: Talisman Paper Making (Entry 101/200)
Looking at the information panel composed of light points and weights, Wang Zijia nodded. This is clear!
Although this panel was written by himself, it can also give a clear understanding of himself!
Satisfied, he exited the sea of consciousness and first looked at the small box in front of him speechlessly.
After only a few days of traveling, there was only one magic coin left, and the magic secret book was also used up. His father's decades of accumulation, only one copy of "Wan Yu Basic Practice" is still worth some money.
Well, the most valuable thing should be this practice.
While thinking, Wang Zijia put it away again, and went out with the spiritual material box.
Came to the study and took out all the items he received.
In fact, the basic things such as talisman paper making can be directly cast with spiritual materials without any tools, but beginners still need some things to assist.
So he spent one penny and got a set.
It's just an exquisite grinding jar, a pestle, and a special material packaging box. The box is palm-wide and one foot long, and the inside is divided into a number of small grids, just like a paint box for painting.
Putting the things away, Wang Zijia took out a spiritual material and put it in the grinding jar. Holding the pestle, the innate true qi surged, and the pestle and grinding jar had subtle spiritual light flashing, and Wang Zijia began to process the spiritual material.
After grinding it into powder, he put it into a small grid in the packaging box and immediately covered it to prevent the loss of spirituality. Then he started to grind another spiritual material.
After a long time, Wang Zijia carefully ground several spiritual materials.
Then he stabilized his mind for a moment, and just needed to take a bath and burn incense. After all, it was his first time to cast a spell in his life, plus the first time to make an item, which was worthy of his attention.
After adjusting his state to the best, Wang Zijia was left with a breath, and his whole body of true energy began to surge in the way of talisman paper making.
At this time, he opened the spiritual material packaging box, and as the true energy swallowed and spit, he waved his hand, and the portions of medicine powder were pulled by the true energy and flew in front of him.
When many spiritual material powders were entangled, a large amount of true energy erupted, which even made Wang Zijia a little strenuous.
It was indeed a bit reluctant to use true energy to drive magic. If he used this to practice magic, it would definitely be difficult. But Wang Zijia had already started magic, so it didn't have much impact.
As the true qi was consumed, many spiritual materials were mixed together for a long time, and finally a cyan card the size of a game card slowly took shape.
"It's done!"
Looking at the spell card that was successfully made for the first time, Wang Zijia's face was full of joy. After all, there is only a 40% probability. Of course, this is only in theory, not in an absolute sense. The state also has an impact.
After a moment, Wang Zijia adjusted his state again and began to cast again.
As the true qi surged, the spiritual materials flew in front of him. When a group of spiritual materials merged, the true qi group suddenly became unstable.
"It's going to be bad!"
"Boom!"
Just when Wang Zijia realized something, before he could do anything, the spiritual materials wrapped in true qi spread out with a slight sound.
Wang Zijia waved his hand helplessly, and a pile of yellowish powder appeared on the desk.
He shook his head speechlessly and started trying again.
After a moment, he did it five times in a row, and succeeded three times, and then he had to stop.
There was no other reason, the true qi was in danger!
It is indeed a bit laborious to use true qi to cast spells. After all, warriors refine essence and cultivators refine qi, so there is a qualitative difference between true qi and mana, which is not small, one hundred and one.
He closed the spiritual material packaging box and practiced in meditation for more than half an hour before he was able to recover.
Then Wang Zijia started making it again. When it was almost evening, he succeeded in making two more.
Wang Zijia looked at the five blank spell cards in front of him, which was considered to be a super performance. He showed a happy look on his face. If he continued like this, he only needed to push this technique to the mastery level to start making money.
Completely implement the open source strategy!
That's right, if you want to make money with such basic things, you need to be at least at the mastery level.
Because ten spiritual materials cost one magic money, and five blank talisman papers cost one magic money to be recycled. This is because he has the support of the sect. The recycling of blank talisman papers of casual cultivators is even lower.
As for the reason... the extreme prosperity of the cultivation world has brought everyone to roll up together.
Everyone will understand it after saying one thing. Pin Xixi will learn about it!
In other words, blank talisman paper, even low-level talismans, low-level magic weapons, elixirs, etc., are all deliberately suppressed by large sects.
And this thing is not such a good thing for low-level cultivators. The things sold are indeed cheap, but the entire industry is controlled by major sects.
After all, it costs hundreds of magic money to buy a secret book of "Talisman Paper Making Technique". This investment alone is enough for a family of casual cultivators to work hard for decades.
Just like buying a house in the previous life!
And buying a magic method is not the end of the investment. From practicing, getting started, and mastering the magic method, let alone breaking even, there will be continuous losses.
You can't start making profits until you master the technique, and you can only make a little profit.
Therefore, if a low-level casual cultivator does not have any relevant talent, a small family may not be able to support a cultivator of all kinds of arts.
The result is that the things sold are indeed very cheap, but the way to make money is difficult. Gradually, manpower becomes worthless!
Even if you reluctantly become a cultivator of all kinds of arts, you can only make a little profit. Of course, after reaching a higher level, the effect will be completely different.
The higher the Baiyi level, the greater this profit gap.
This is true even for spiritual farmers, because although the land requirements for farming are not high, the prices of low-level spiritual materials that can be planted are also suppressed very low.
Spirit fields are even harder to find!
This is the inevitable industry blockade and exploitation under extreme prosperity, and no world will be an exception.
If you want to get ahead, don't complain about the unfairness of the world, and move up on your own. When you look back, you will find that there are countless people working for you, and a group of elites will help you move down.
There is no exception in any world. This is the basic survival rule of group animals.
······
After packing up his things and looking at the five blank spell cards, Wang Zijia finally put them away. Turning around and opening the secret room, he put the tools and spell cards into the nearly empty treasure chest, barely replenishing his savings.
"Then the next short-term goal is clear, work hard to master the technique, or even achieve it. Then find a small circle, or a flea market or something, and start selling cards to make money. Raise funds to buy grafting pills, and obtain spiritual roots. Change your martial arts cultivation to that of immortality!"
"At the same time, martial arts cultivation cannot be left behind. After all, it can be exchanged directly later. If this is not possible, we can only use thousands of years of skills to condense the martial arts spiritual roots!"
While whispering, Wang Zijia left the room and began to practice various skills, including but not limited to Tai Chi, radio gymnastics, and fitness exercises.
In addition to improving his cultivation these days, he is also trying to see which skill can improve the silver weight the fastest!
······
Early the next morning, when Wang Zijia arrived at his workplace, a group of warehouse managers gathered together and surrounded him.
"I heard from the manager that you are not only successful in practice, but you have even begun to study talismans intensively?"
"You kid can do it. You can become a monk without saying a word!"
“I didn’t even inform you in advance, causing everyone to worry for half a year!”
"Your father is so awesome. He has prepared not only cultivation techniques for you, but also talismans."
"Yes, dear, a book of basic exercises costs 700 dharma coins, and a book of talismans has 400 dharma coins. How much does it cost in total?"
"No wonder Old Wangtou used to work in the front office and was so stingy. He was obviously a serious servant of the sect, but he was more clingy than the rest of us. My feelings have already confirmed that your boy has spiritual roots. I’ll save you money!”
"Should we change our name to Little Wangtou?"
"How's it going? Have you made the talisman?"
"······"
All the handyman colleagues were chattering away with great enthusiasm.
Wang Zijia looked shy as a young man, and then said after a while: "It's just a mess on my own, and it hasn't affected me yet!"
"You're good, kid. If you're too modest, you're just fooling us. You've already started to study talismans, so you must at least be a bit knowledgeable." Xu Chenglin scolded Wang Zijia with a smile, and then sighed:
"Sigh, my boy probably hasn't reached the level of low-grade spiritual roots. I've been frugal for so long, but there hasn't been much improvement. Fortunately, when I discovered the spiritual roots, I didn't send them directly to the sect for inspection. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to do that. The people in the military academy are probably all gone.”
Most of the descendants of the sect's handymen will not be sent directly to the sect for inspection. Because after the inspection, Wanyu Sect only accepted disciples with fifth-level low-grade spiritual roots and above. Do not use false spiritual roots or residual spiritual roots.
But if you provide basic exercises and support them to get started in cultivation, you don't need to check your spiritual roots, and you can have some chances to enter the sect's servitor house. At worst, he can easily take over from the older generation.
Because of Xu Chenglin's sigh, the originally warm atmosphere suddenly became a little cold. After all, to everyone, this is a bit of Versailles. Many people have babies who don’t even have a fart.
Xu Chenglin also noticed that the atmosphere had cooled down, so he shut up sadly and said no more.
"Zijia, if you get really prosperous and enter the sect in the future, don't forget us mud-legged people!" Among the crowd, a warehouse clerk who was not familiar with Zijia said so.
"Okay! Uncle Cheng!" Wang Zijia said shyly.
"Go, go, you are everywhere. If you see an advantage, you want to take advantage of it. Show some face!" Xu Chenglin made a sign of driving away.
