Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 76: Talisman Inventory
"I have the seeds!"
As Gu Xiaoqing spoke, she immediately took out a small cloth bag from her Storage Bag.
She poured out a few yellow, rice-sized seeds from it.
Chu Ning picked one up and took a closer look, confirming that these were indeed Golden Essence Fruit seeds, and of decent quality too.
"Alright, I’ll plant these Golden Essence Fruits on ten acres then."
Chu Ning made a decision on the spot.
"Senior Sister, lend me the seeds first, and I’ll repay you later."
Gu Xiaoqing’s eyes flashed with a hint of a smile as she handed a small bag of seeds to Chu Ning.
"Consider these seeds a gift, Junior Brother Chu. Just promise to sell me the Golden Essence Fruits at a lower price later."
Listening to Gu Xiaoqing’s gentle voice, Chu Ning didn’t let it go to his head.
He took the seeds from Gu Xiaoxiao’s slender hand, laughed awkwardly, and said:
"I’ll have to grow these Golden Essence Fruits first before we talk about it.
This type of Spirit Fruit, I’ve never planted before. I wouldn’t want to waste Senior Sister’s seeds."
Chu Ning naturally couldn’t agree to any big discounts just because of the seeds given by the other person.
After all, if Chu Ning applied through the Sect, these Golden Essence Fruit seeds could be provided for free.
Most likely, Gu Xiaoqing had acquired them through the same means.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Gu, even if I use a spell to hasten their maturity, the fastest these Golden Essence Fruits will be ready for use is in a few months.
During this period, I can’t provide them to you."
Chu Ning hurriedly changed the subject.
Hearing that Chu Ning didn’t catch on, Gu Xiaoqing gave him a longer look, then replied:
"Rest assured, Junior Brother Chu, I already brought some Golden Essence Fruits with me, and during this period, I’ll also have Steward Lin periodically bring some over."
Chu Ning nodded, "That’s good to hear."
Since they weren’t closely acquainted, after discussing business, they didn’t have much else to say.
Gu Xiaoqing then took her leave.
Before leaving, she hesitated slightly, turned back, and said:
"Junior Brother Chu, since Junior Brother Luo didn’t achieve his goal, he might be less favorable towards you in the future.
And since the Talisman Making Technique at Wind Canyon is quite unique, you’ll face considerable pressure in the future.
If there’s anything where you need my help, please feel free to ask."
Chu Ning slightly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Gu Xiaoqing smiled, didn’t say anything further, and left gracefully.
Only after Gu Xiaoqing’s figure disappeared did Chu Ning calmly walk to the back courtyard.
Having left the Sect to come to the Market, the situation didn’t seem to improve much.
However, Chu Ning didn’t take it too seriously. It’s just about planting Spirit Plants and making Talismans, these tasks are not difficult for him.
As for dealing with unpleasant characters, Chu Ning was already accustomed to it.
Previously, neither Cao Dongxin nor Qi Chongmao were easy to get along with.
Since he was assigned here, knowing that he had support from two halls, he didn’t believe Luo Yiping would target him blatantly.
As for some sarcastic remarks, Chu Ning didn’t let them bother him.
He first took out some Spirit Rice from the Storage Bag, cooked a pot of Spirit Rice, and then casually fixed two dishes for lunch.
In the afternoon, Chu Ning headed back to the Spirit Field to plant Purple Crystal Bamboo.
The next day was Market day; if he didn’t plant today, he would have to wait another day.
After spending more than two hours, Chu Ning finished planting the remaining seven acres of Purple Crystal Bamboo in the Spirit Field.
He couldn’t find time to plant the Golden Essence Fruit, so it would have to wait.
Returning to the Market, Chu Ning saw the shop responsible for the neighboring Spirit Beast Room with its door wide open.
Inside, the voices of Luo Yiping and Shen Zhengquan talking about the Market day tomorrow could be faintly heard.
Chu Ning wasn’t interested in getting involved, so he headed back to his own courtyard and closed the door.
After dinner, Chu Ning wandered around the two courtyards.
He began pondering how to make use of the courtyard.
Before arriving, he had prepared some Iron Wire Vines in his own courtyard, but Chu Ning felt that planting Iron Wire Vines seemed a bit low-grade for this courtyard.
After all, he needed to use the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill for cultivation, and higher-quality Spirit Plants enhance cultivation better.
Without any good ideas for the time being, Chu Ning decided to put it aside and started thinking about Market matters.
There wasn’t anything related to Spirit Plants available for sale at the moment.
Chu Ning took a board, wrote down words indicating the purchase of Spirit Rice and Spirit Plants, and prepared to hang it outside the shop.
As for Talismans, there was quite a bit.
Chu Ning had been fervently making Talismans recently, so he had plenty on hand.
Except for the Basic Upper Grade Talisman from Liao Yunming for life-saving use and the Geng Metal Sword Talisman learned from Mu Ling, which weren’t for sale.
The other Talismans were all available for sale.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning began to inventory his Talismans.
He had previously given some to Zhuang Yunde and Qiu Shunyi, but that was only a small portion.
The Wood Escape Talisman was the most abundant, with Chu Ning having painted nearly 40 a day before, totaling 260 at the moment.
Then there were the Basic Lower Grade Talismans from the Talisman Making Basics.
Chu Ning had 220 Flame Talismans, Profound Ice Talismans, and Earth Armor Talismans.
For healing and curing purposes, Chu Ning had 200 Rejuvenation Talismans.
There were fewer Evergreen Talismans, with just 150 in his possession.
After inventorying these Talismans, Chu Ning closed the board and began writing out the Talisman’s sales information.
With so many Talismans, explaining each to potential buyers would be quite troublesome.
After visiting Qinghe Square a few times, Chu Ning had a vague idea of the prices for Talismans.
The selling price for Flame Talismans, Profound Ice Talismans, Evergreen Talismans, and Rejuvenation Talismans should be around two Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
Earth Armor Talismans and Wood Escape Talismans were three Lower Grade Spirit Stones each.
Assessing roughly, Chu Ning was somewhat startled by his own wealth.
If all these Talismans were sold...
He shook his head.
Although Yan Workshop was popular with Loose Cultivators and sold a fair amount of Talismans and Elixirs, selling all these Talismans quickly wouldn’t be easy.
Meanwhile, thoughts of the Spirit Talisman content flitted through Chu Ning’s mind.
Unlike the Basic Talisman Making Jade Scroll, the Spirit Talisman didn’t cover as many foundational details.
This Jade Scroll had the production methods for only eight Talismans.
Five were Basic Middle Grade Talismans, while the other three were noticeably Basic Upper Grade Talismans!
However, according to earlier introductions concerning Talisman knowledge in the Basic Talisman Making Jade Scroll.
Basic Upper Grade Talismans had to be crafted at the Qi Refining Late Stage.
Therefore, though Chu Ning was envious, he had no choice but to set it aside for now.
Recently, despite having had no time to practice, he had gotten a rough understanding of the five Basic Middle Grade Talismans in the Spirit Talisman.
Attack Talisman: Yin Thunder Talisman.
Defense Talisman: Vajra Talisman.
Qi Concealing Talisman for concealing one’s aura.
Escape Talisman: Earth Escape Talisman.
The last one, Clear Wind Talisman, for resisting and neutralizing various toxic gases.
These types of Talismans are very frequently used among Basic Middle Grade Talismans.
Chu Ning wasn’t in a hurry to draw these Talismans, knowing he had ample time and energy to practice within Yan Workshop.
"I’ve heard that Wind Canyon is also renowned for its Talismans, I wonder what kind of Talismans they’re selling at the Market."
Chu Ning pondered for a moment and decided to go check out the situation tomorrow.
