Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 80: Cyan Spirit Fruit and Talisman Sales Revenue
The Spirit Farmer heard this and his face showed a hint of hesitation.
"I happened to come by these Cyan Spirit Fruit Seeds by chance.
I know that these Cyan Spirit Fruits are not easy to grow, and it’s difficult for me to even initiate growth.
However, the income from the Spirit Rice is still too low, and I want to give it a try."
Chu Ning heard this and couldn’t help but shake his head secretly.
This cultivator, at the Third Layer of Qi Refining, was already struggling to grow Spirit Rice.
The Cyan Spirit Fruit requires higher spellcasting demands for daily management, and he didn’t think the other party could grow it well.
After all, in the sect, the Cyan Spirit Fruit would require at least a High-Level Spirit Field in Zone C to be cultivated.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning’s heart was moved, and he said to the other party:
"Fellow cultivator, why don’t we make a transaction?
You give me the seeds of the Cyan Spirit Fruit, and I will exchange some Purple Sweet Potato Fruit seeds for you, along with compensating you with a piece of Spirit Stone.
Also, I’ll give you a free Evergreen Talisman, how about that?"
The middle-aged Spirit Farmer was overjoyed upon hearing this and looked at Chu Ning with a tone of disbelief, asking:
"Is the shopkeeper serious?"
Chu Ning nodded, not saying much, and took out a small handful of Purple Sweet Potato Fruit seeds from his storage bag.
He also took out two Spirit Stones and an Evergreen Talisman and placed them on the counter.
The middle-aged Spirit Farmer, without hesitation, immediately put down the Spirit Rice he’d just picked up and the Cyan Spirit Fruit in his other hand.
Then, he quickly grabbed the items Chu Ning had taken out, as if worried Chu Ning might change his mind.
Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled and put away the Spirit Rice and Cyan Spirit Fruit seeds.
This deal didn’t profit Chu Ning, as the value of what he gave was slightly higher.
In terms of Spirit Stone value, the Cyan Spirit Fruit is about twice as valuable as the Purple Sweet Potato Fruit.
However, because growing the Cyan Spirit Fruit is more difficult and takes longer, a normal cultivator could grow two seasons of Purple Sweet Potato Fruit for every season of Cyan Spirit Fruit.
So, in terms of profit, there’s not much difference between the two.
And for Chu Ning, the growing difficulty of both isn’t significantly different either.
His desire for the Cyan Spirit Fruit seeds lay entirely in satisfying his plans for the backyard.
The Cyan Spirit Fruit grows on vines, making it very suitable for deploying the Thorn Technique, even better than the Iron Wire Vine.
Chu Ning always thought the capturing capability of the Thorn Technique was quite good, and it helped a lot during his previous fight with Qi Chongmao.
Moreover, this Thorn Technique, although a Basic Lower Grade Technique, has a binding power closely related to the strength of the Spirit Plant itself.
At the same time, the Cyan Spirit Fruit absorbs Spiritual Qi better than even Ink Spirit Bamboo or Purple Crystal Bamboo.
Using it to assist the cultivation of the Cyan Wood Evergreen Technique with the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill is similarly suitable.
For these two reasons, Chu Ning chose to trade for the Cyan Spirit Fruit.
The middle-aged Spirit Farmer came here close to the end of the market’s closing time, and after he left, almost no one was seen on the bustling market street.
Once he confirmed that the market had finally dispersed, Chu Ning closed up the shop.
Carrying the Cyan Spirit Fruit seeds, he headed to the backyard.
The growing time of the Cyan Spirit Fruit is longer than the Iron Wire Vine, but this refers to the time it takes to flower and bear fruit.
The time it takes to grow vines isn’t longer than that of the Iron Wire Vine.
The real difficulty in the early stage is encouraging growth.
Without an Instant Level Accelerating Technique, it’s challenging to even get it to sprout and grow.
Of course, this wasn’t a problem for Chu Ning.
After casting three Instant Level Accelerating Techniques consecutively, the Cyan Spirit Fruit began to sprout.
Then, Chu Ning cast the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill, and the vine started growing slightly.
Chu Ning followed suit, continually accelerating the growth of the Cyan Spirit Fruit.
After planting Cyan Spirit Fruit around the perimeters of two yards,
Chu Ning used the Blade Skill to carve an accessible passage in the connecting wall.
Only then did he nodded with satisfaction.
These two courtyards can still accommodate other plants.
Chu Ning already had some plans in mind.
The yard on the Spirit Plant Room side will mainly house some Spirit Plants purchased that can’t be directly placed in the storage bag.
Even if these Spirit Plants don’t sell in the end, they can still be given to the sect to offset yields.
Meanwhile, for the courtyard of the Spirit Talisman Pavilion, Chu Ning plans to plant Spirit Plants that rapidly absorb Spiritual Qi.
This would naturally facilitate the cultivation using the Cyan Wood Spring Blossom Skill.
Currently, the Cyan Spirit Fruit is still suitable for cultivation, but Chu Ning feels that as his cultivation advances,
the Cyan Spirit Fruit’s rate of Spiritual Qi absorption might not meet his needs later on.
"I should aim to get some higher-quality Spirit Plants whenever possible."
Chu Ning stroked his chin, knowing this would depend entirely on chance and wasn’t something he could just decide to do.
Having completed these tasks, Chu Ning began to inventory the day’s gains from the two stores.
He started with the Spirit Plant Room side.
Chu Ning didn’t bring many Spirit Plants to sell, mainly focusing on acquisitions today.
Spirit Rice, Red Spirit Rice, Ningshen Grass, White Butterfly Flower, Apricot Spirit Fruit...
These are mostly common Spirit Plants in the nearby area, which Chu Ning roughly categorized and packed into a dedicated storage bag.
He Changyou’s specially provided large storage bag finally came in handy at this time.
After putting away this storage bag, Chu Ning took out his small storage bag and checked the Talismans.
Of the 260 Wood Escape Talismans, 200 were left, with 60 sold.
Flame Talismans and Profound Ice Talismans originally numbered 220 each, now with 117 and 138 remaining, respectively, having sold 103 and 82.
The Rejuvenation Talismans, used for healing, had 155 remaining, with 45 sold.
There were 110 Evergreen Talismans left, with 40 sold.
Earth Armor Talismans had only 105 left, with 95 sold.
And when Chu Ning counted the Spirit Stones, he was quite shocked.
Most were sold under a buy-five-get-one offer, but some were sold individually as well.
In just this one day, 837 Spirit Stones were worth of talismans sold.
"If every day could bring such income..."
However, thinking it over, Chu Ning shook his head.
Today was evidently an exception.
First of all, naturally, the credit goes to his buy-five-get-one-free promotion.
In this Cultivation Realm where no one understands marketing, a little modern-style promotion creates enough buzz.
And also because the quality of his Talismans was higher than those from Wind Canyon, attracting much curiosity.
But correspondingly, this also exhausted people’s purchasing power.
Not every market day would bring so many Talisman needs.
But regardless, Chu Ning’s face still brimmed with smiles.
These Spirit Stones were already in his hands; this is what’s real and tangible.
Chu Ning also understood that not everyone could be like him.
After all, others don’t have such a high success rate in Talisman making.
And, even an ordinary cultivator at the Late Stage of Qi Refining couldn’t refine Divine Sense and use it in Talisman making like he could.
This meant that most Talisman Masters couldn’t produce at such high intensity as Chu Ning. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
By comparison, a normal Middle Stage or even Late Stage Qi Refining disciple could produce only about a third of Chu Ning’s Talisman numbers in the same time, not to mention the quality.
The Talismans that Chu Ning sold today were between a quarter and a third of his one-month production output.
This also meant that the Talismans he sold in one day might take a Tier One Talisman Master nearly a month to complete.
"No wonder the sect set the rule that the Talisman Workshop must submit 500 Spirit Stones to the sect each month.
That accounts for about half of the revenue."
Chu Ning mumbled to himself.
"The sect sure knows how to calculate it just right."
Chu Ning shook his head with a smile.
After taking stock of the Talismans sold today, Chu Ning started to seriously consider what Luo Yiping had said.
Wind Canyon plans to sell quite a few Basic Middle Grade Talismans.
It seems to be time to learn the Talisman Making Technique recorded in the Spirit Talisman.
