Chapter 278.
Early in the morning, the sky just rose a touch of white, Wang dust quietly out of the alley.
He wore a greenish-gray robe, beard and hair white face emaciated, thin and frail as if he had no strength.
Only the hidden flow of qi practicing high-level breath, let a person dare not underestimate.
On the long street, people come and go, and most of the stores along the street have opened or are opening their doors.
Wang Chen familiarly walked through the streets and alleys and came to a teahouse.
This teahouse offered breakfast, he found a seat and ordered a pot of spirit tea and a cage of buns.
While eating, he listened to the surrounding tea patrons talk about the world.
These tea patrons were basically the neighborhood, they were very well informed, a lot of big and small things happened in Wanxiu City, all of which were their hot topics of conversation.
After hearing enough marketplace gossip and jianghu rumors, Wang Chen finished eating the fragrant and steaming beast meat buns with the spirit tea that relieved his fatigue, and then paid for the meal and left the teahouse.
The price of spirit tea and buns here was almost more than twice that of Dongwu Zhai.
It wasn’t really an easy thing for an ordinary loose cultivator to settle down in the City of Ten Thousand Cultivations.
Near the teahouse, there was a large workshop market.
Wang Dust had come over to set up a stall today.
After paying a day’s rent to the administrator of the workshop market, he quickly set up his stall by the corner.
It couldn’t be helped that Wang Chuan had arrived a bit late, and all the good spots had been taken by others.
There were a total of four such markets in Wan Xiu City, where stalls were available on a first-come-first-served basis, and there were no restrictions on what could be sold, but the rent was quite expensive.
A day would cost fifty lower spirits!
And in the matter of setting up stalls, Wang Dust was also considered experienced.
He didn’t yell loudly or put up eye-catching word streamers like other stall owners, but instead, he placed the talismans he had refined last night, one by one, according to their varieties.
Then he leaned back on the rattan chair, took out a goose feather fan and placed it on his knees, and began to close his eyes and rest his mind.
Although the place where Wang Chen was located was very remote, there were a large number of cultivators who came to catch the morning market, so it didn’t take much time before someone appeared in front of his stall.
“Huh?”
The visitor’s gaze swept over Wang Dust’s stall, revealing a look of surprise.
These talismans that were arranged in categories on the long case, one after another had spiritual light within them, and were of near-perfect quality, so that even if one looked with the most discerning eyes, one would not be able to find fault with them.
In the marketplace where fish eyes mixed with pearls, the talismans refined by Wang Chen were like gold in the gravel.
The light simply could not be hidden!
“Hiss~”
The visitor took a closer look and couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cool air, “Fellow Daoist, the price of your magic talisman is high!”
Wang Dust divided the case table used to set up stalls to display goods into three areas: low-grade, mid-grade and high-grade.
Low-grade magic talismans were clearly labeled at two lower spirits each, intermediate five spirits, and high-grade as high as ten spirits!
Although the prices of goods in Wanxiu City were high, the prices of first-grade talismans corresponding to the Qi cultivation level were limited compared to other places.
This was mainly due to the fact that it was easy to start making talismans, and the cost of learning was much lower compared to alchemy, weaponry, beasts, puppets, etc. A large number of cultivators worked as part-time talisman makers, and the output of first-order talismans was extremely high, which naturally suppressed the market price.
The price that Wang Dust marked out was almost 50% higher than the market price, and the high-level magic talismans were even tougher!
It was not easy for everyone to earn spirit stones these days, and most of the people who came to the workshop market were the middle and lower level cultivators of Wanxiu City.
Such prices are really a bit dissuasive.
Wang Dust did not reply and directly threw out a mahogany sign.
Nine big words were written on it: clear price no counter-offer!
“Snort!”
The visitor snorted and turned his head away.
Wang Chen didn’t care and didn’t even bother to give the other party a look.
This batch of talismans that he took out, all of them were all at the Grandmaster level of handiwork, and those who were truly knowledgeable would never find them too expensive.
What do you mean by “beagle”?
Beige is rather destroy all the things, but also will never sell at a discount.
Love to buy, do not buy roll, buy more buy less a price!
Cultivators who came in front of Wang Dust’s stall were one after another, and none of them actually purchased.
Some people see the price directly back, some try to bargain with Wang dust, do not get a response to curse and leave.
There are also hesitant, want to buy and hesitant.
After all, the price of three to five spirit stones for a magic talisman is difficult for ordinary cultivators to eat.
As a result, from morning to noon, Wang Chen did not sell a single talisman!
Wang Chen ignored the strange looks thrown by the surrounding stall owners, he took out a rosewood tea table from his storage bag, then set up a Ningshen incense burner and a red clay tea stove, and boiled himself a pot of spiritual tea.
While sipping the tea, he flipped through the Dao books.
Two days ago when he was wandering around the city, Wang Chen purchased quite a few books from a bookstore.
It would allow him to read for a long time.
Although Wang Dust’s business was extremely dismal, his appearance, dress, and demeanor set him apart from the surrounding professional stall owners who were full of mercenary flavor.
He was like a green lotus growing out of the mud!
In the late afternoon, Wang Chen’s business finally opened.
His first customer was a middle-aged cultivator, although the dress was rather shabby, but the eyes were sharp and the temperament was tough, at a glance, he had been through a lot of battles, either a war cultivator or a hunting cultivator.
He took five Evil Resisting Talismans and five Meteoric Fire Talismans, leaving twenty lower spirits.
With the first note sale, Wang Dust’s business suddenly showed a benign development trend, and by the time he closed his stall in the evening, he had sold quite a few talismans one after another.
These included some high-level magic talismans.
For example, the Evil Suppressing Talisman.
The income exceeded three hundred lower spirits!
Wang Chuan’s elementary talisman making skill had long reached the level of great perfection, and the success rate of refining first-order talismans had almost reached one hundred percent, coupled with the high selling price, so the profit was quite substantial.
Wang Chen was still quite satisfied with this.
Now is just the beginning, after his signboards are known, within half a year to earn 30,000 spirit stones is not a problem at all.
Of course, just 30,000 spirit stones was not enough, he still had to rent the cave in the North Mountain for cultivation.
Together with the usual food and clothing, all in all, any more spirit stones would be too much.
“Xiang Mou has met fellow Daoist.”
Just as Wang Chen put away his stall and was about to leave, a man in a strong suit appeared in front of him, clasped his fists and saluted, “My master would like to talk to Your Excellency, please follow me.”
Targeted so soon?
Wang Chen was more or less surprised.
He had taken out his patriarchal level talisman making craft to fish for spirit stones, and had long anticipated such a possibility.
But he didn’t expect that on the first day of setting up his stall, someone would take an interest in him.
“Mountain idlers are used to being comfortable.”
Wang Dust replied without moving, “Doesn’t like to socialize with others, please go back.”
After saying that, he didn’t pay any more attention to the other party and left the marketplace on his own.
Without going far, Wang Chen was keenly aware that there was a “tail” behind him.
He blended into the bustling crowd, activated his Great Perfection level Breath Concealment Technique, and disappeared from the tracker’s line of sight in a matter of moments.
