Chapter 45: Refining the Talisman

  Use dan medicine to refine talisman paper. Ordinary paper is not good enough and must be special talisman paper used for drawing talismans.

  Blank talismans weren't expensive, one or two silver coins could buy one, Qin Luoyi went out to buy a hundred and then entered the cultivation room.

  Thinking of the first time she made this special talisman, she didn't dare to rush in recklessly. She took a third-grade elixir and ground it into powder, then followed the method in the Talisman Compendium to refine the elixir onto the paper.

  Generally, refining paper does not require much spiritual power to control, but the requirements for mental strength and fire timing are extremely strict. Qin Luo Yi failed nearly twenty times before he began to grasp the key, successfully refining that special talisman paper.

  Afterwards, her success rate was extremely high, refining ten talismans, but failing once.

  After making special talismans, I started drawing talisman characters. With a complete set of talisman circles, drawing talisman characters became much simpler.

  When she made the first-grade talisman, it was just a waste of two talismans. After that, everything went smoothly. After making ten first-grade talismans, she began to try her hand at making second and even third-grade talismans.

  For three consecutive days, apart from eating and sleeping, she went to Xiangxiang Garden twice to see Qin Luohan, and spent the rest of her time in the practice room.

  Non-stop alchemy, talisman paper, and spell production... At first, the speed wasn't very fast, but as time passed, her speed became faster and more proficient, with a higher success rate. Moreover, she even experimented with the power of the talismans in the bracelet space!

  As the book says, the higher the rank of the elixir used to make the talisman paper, the greater the power of the talisman produced, and the higher the success rate. Using elixirs of the same rank as the talisman to draw symbols only has a 50% success rate, while if the rank of the elixir is lower than that of the talisman, it will completely fail to produce a successful talisman.

  As for the great power... because she had never used talismans before, there was no comparison to be made. That Chen senior's words about using dan medicine to make talismans having only a tenth of the success rate of others using spiritual energy to make talismans left her somewhat skeptical.

  Because she made talismans, the success rate was extremely high, conservatively estimated at over 90%!

  Qin Luo Yi decided to go out of the house again.

  Previously, refining the Seventh-Order Scarlet Flame Pill and the Sixth-Order Meltbone Pill for Jian Yuyan had consumed a considerable amount of her spiritual plants. Over these three days, in order to refine the talisman paper, she had used up all her remaining spiritual plants. She still needed to cultivate, so she must go out and replenish some spiritual plants.

  The shopkeeper Yu of Xianling Square had a good impression on her, so this time she went straight to Xianling Square.

  Seeing her enter, the young servant who had received a reward from her last time smiled and greeted her enthusiastically: "Miss, you've arrived. What can I get for you today?"

  Qin's pale and radiant face had a faint smile, she glanced at him, then said what she needed, every time she mentioned something, the smile on Ping'an's clear and elegant face became even more brilliant.

  They have a rule in Xianling Square that whoever receives guests, after the transaction is completed, they can get some extra rewards based on the amount of silver received!

  The girl rattled off twenty or so spiritual plants, all of which were extremely high-grade. Roughly calculated, they were worth over 100,000 taels, more than last time. How could he not be overjoyed!

  While attentively responding to everything, he smiled and led Qin Luo into the VIP room, serving the best Longjing tea.

  Qin Luo Yi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down, sipping tea while observing the interior of Xianling Fang.

  It was just morning, and there were many guests in the Xianling Square. Business was booming, and Yu Zhuanggui was chatting with a middle-aged man wearing a flying sword, looking very spirited. He turned his head to see her sitting in the VIP room, then smiled and said a few more words to the middle-aged man before walking towards the VIP room.

  After some small talk, Ping An took out the spiritual plants she needed and placed them in front of her to examine one by one.

  Qin Luo Yi didn't get up, she just glanced at it roughly on the chair and then stored it in her storage ring - her ring space was a bit strange, she was afraid of attracting attention from people with ulterior motives, so when facing outsiders, she never put things inside.

  Ye Zhanggui saw that she had bought tens of thousands of taels of silver's worth of spiritual plants again, and it hadn't even been ten days since the last time she made a purchase. She was so young, yet so unusually generous... He couldn't help but look at her with some curiosity. After settling the bill, he personally escorted her out of the door.

  As she passed by Qingdan Square, her footsteps slowed down, and she stood outside looking in.

  Although it's not as crowded as the Xianling Fang, where business is booming, the business here is also quite good. Inside, several people are looking at the medicinal herbs on the counter, each dressed in bright and elegant clothes, with a spirited and refreshed appearance, and at first glance, you can tell they are extremely wealthy individuals.

  A sharp gleam flashed in her phoenix-like eyes.

  In less than half a month, she had spent more than 200,000 taels of silver on alchemy and talisman crafting... She was only in the second stage of Qi Refining now, and at this rate, it wouldn't take long for her to run out of money, even if she had mountains of gold and silver!

  It must be open-sourced in order to succeed!

  That talisman... because of the different production methods, before having a certain level of power, it's not suitable to take out for sale, otherwise it will attract unwanted attention and that wouldn't be good.

  The only way left is to sell Dan medicine!

  During this time, she also inquired that Qingdan Fang was one of the top two large dan fangs in Beijing. Apart from them, there was only one called Linglong Pavilion that occasionally sold high-grade dan medicine of five or six grades. There were a few other small shops, but they all sold low-grade dan medicine below grade four.

  The elixirs sold in the market are even lower, generally just some first and second grade primary elixirs.

  Moreover, selling things in Qingdan Square incurs a 20% commission, which is quite expensive.

  Just as she was hesitating, two people walked out of the shop across from her. The middle-aged man in front had a fat head and big ears, and was dressed luxuriously. As he walked, he shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's too expensive! You're asking such a high price for this small shop, who would be willing to buy it?"

  The old man in the green robe behind him looked to be around fifty years old, with a somewhat haggard appearance and an anxious look in his eyes. After staring at the stout-headed and big-eared middle-aged man as he walked away, he gritted his teeth and said: "Two million, this price is too expensive! Wang Shoucai, your heart is also too black... If I weren't in a hurry to use the money, even if you added another zero I wouldn't sell!"

  In his heart, it was like a clear mirror.

  That Wang Shoucai is clearly aware that he needs the money urgently, so he intentionally lowered his price! Don't think he didn't know, previously he had always been eyeing this shop of his in the golden district of Beijing!

  Just as he was muttering to himself in despair, a slender figure in pale green suddenly appeared before him. Her bright and beautiful face had sparkling eyes that shone like stars, and the corners of her mouth were curved into a gentle smile: "Is this shop for sale?"

  Luo Yongshun turned around, and suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes. He took a closer look at the green-clad girl standing in front of him, and his experienced eyes immediately saw that this beautiful young woman was either rich or noble. The fabric of her clothes was clearly high-quality Jinling silk from the capital!

  "My parents are getting old at home, and I'm not as energetic as before, so I'm planning to move back to the countryside to take care of them. I want to transfer this shop...” He thought Qin Luoyi was just casually asking out of curiosity, so he concealed the real reason for selling the shop and said offhandedly.

  "May I take a look?" Qin Luoyi continued to ask with a smile, looking at the old man's appearance, she knew what he was thinking, and didn't rush to explain.

  Luo Yongshun sighed silently, knowing that this girl was probably just looking for fun, but still welcomed her in: "Miss wants to see, of course she can!"

  Qin Luoyi looked around the house, which was square and spacious, with a bright and airy interior. The floor was paved with bluish-gray stone slabs. In front of it, there was a shop covering an area of over 100 square meters. Behind the shop, there was a courtyard, and behind the courtyard, there were several rooms, even a small attic, similar to a woman's embroidery loft.

  Qin Luo Yi originally came in just to take a look, but the more she looked, the more satisfied she became, and she couldn't help but think of buying it.
