Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 74: Financial path cut off

The test was successful and Chen Lin was very excited.

Next time you use the Thunderbolt Bead, you won’t have to risk being killed by the explosion.

Then he took out Thunderbolt No. 2 and Thunderbolt No. 3 and let the monkey puppet try them, but he did not trigger an explosion, he just tested how easy it was to carry.

The monkey puppet is small in size and has small claws. It can hold an ordinary thunderbolt bead with one hand, but it cannot hold the Thunderbolt No. 2 and needs to use both hands, not to mention the Thunderbolt No. 3.

This has a significant impact on flexibility.

But it doesn’t matter. His purpose is to use the puppet as a throwing tool, so he just needs to rush around.

Finally, Chen Lin took out the only Thunderbolt No. 4 that he had refined during this period.

It was very difficult for the monkey puppet to hold the football-sized thing. It even blocked his legs, making him walk crookedly, let alone run.

This made Chen Lin frown.

This idea of his was prepared for the PL-4. As for the other models, if he threw them hard, he could also throw them very far without worrying about hurting himself.

Moreover, even if the power of Thunderbolt No. 3 is limited, losing a puppet in the middle stage of Qi training is not worth it.

There's no point if the monkey puppet can't carry Thunderbolt-4.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lin came up with another idea.

You can make a sturdier cloth bag and tie PL-4 to the puppet's back so that it won't affect its movement.

Although the puppet cannot be thrown in this way and can only be used as a human bomb, it is better than not using it at all.

Chen Lin did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately went out to buy a few cloth bags and ropes, and started experimenting after he came back.

Sure enough, after tying Thunderbolt No. 4 to the back of the monkey puppet, the monkey puppet could move normally.

Moreover, the puppet's arms are long, so they can touch the Thunderbolt No. 4 in the bag, which does not affect the explosion. It's just that the speed is slower due to the weight.

"Good baby, if I use this now, it will definitely give the enemy a surprise!"

Chen Lin is very satisfied with his creativity.

Then, all items were transferred to one storage bag, and another one was used to store puppets and thunder beads.

There were so many things that I had to take some out and put them outside.

Chen Lin couldn't help but feel that the storage bag was a little small. If the space was large enough, he could create more puppets.

When we encounter a strong enemy, it will be a very cool scene to see a group of suicide soldiers rushing forward.

Unfortunately, storage bags are rare commodities. Not only are they very expensive, but they are also basically cubic in size and difficult to buy.

I can only wait until I have more money in the future.

Now that my pockets are empty, I have to continue making talismans to make money.

Chen Lin went out for a walk and took a special look around the home of the newlyweds, but found nothing unusual.

Then he began to refine talismans, and also took time to comprehend magic spells.

He chose a low-level spell called dodge, which was not very powerful, but it could make the body more agile.

What's more, even without using the Enlightenment Pill, he had already understood the operating principles of this spell and entered the actual practice stage.

The characteristic of this spell is that it is easy to master but difficult to use proficiently. It is half spell and half skill, and requires a lot of actual practice to improve reaction speed.

Chen Lin was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time and could just take it slow.

After he had used up all the materials for making the talisman, he came to the market again.

After Chen Lin sold all the talismans, he planned to buy ten materials and refine a new monkey puppet. The previous one had been bound to Thunderbolt No. 4 and could not be used to throw other Thunderbolt beads.

If you squeeze a little in the storage bag, you should be able to free up some space.

But when Chen Lin arrived at the market town excitedly, he received some news that made him depressed.

The price of talismans has returned to normal!

"What's going on? It's back to its original price so quickly. Has the matter with the ancient cultivator's cave been resolved?"

When Chen Lin heard what Zhou Fu, the owner of Ruyifang, said, his head buzzed.

I've been making a lot of money during this period, and it's a bit hard to accept that my income has suddenly been cut off.

Moreover, the raw materials for the talismans in his hands were purchased at a high price. Now that the talismans have dropped in price, all his work has been in vain.

The shopkeeper was also somewhat helpless, and sighed, "I thought it would hold out for a while, but who knew that the cave had changed, and an area covered by a formation appeared. The area there is wider, but it has not collapsed, and there is no need for manpower to clean it up, so no one buys the Power Talisman anymore."

"Moreover, now that the major forces have reached the foundation building stage, the Qi training cultivators are not qualified to continue to compete for it. Even if there are any, they are all in the late stage of Qi training. Low-level talismans such as the Fireball Talisman are completely useless, so the prices of these talismans have instantly dropped back to their original prices."

Chen Lin could only sigh when he heard this.

The other party could not lie about such information, and there was no need to verify it elsewhere. He could only sell the talisman he had refined to the other party with a bitter face.

Originally, a medium-grade spirit stone could be sold for about sixty yuan, but now it can only be sold for less than twenty yuan. The huge difference almost made Chen Lin collapse.

Chen Lin left Ruyifang in disappointment and did not continue to buy materials.

After the price came down, making talismans was no longer very profitable, so there was no need to waste time.

Moreover, only a small amount of spirit stones were sold this time, and they could not be used to purchase materials for refining puppets. Instead, they had to be used as capital to open up a new way to make money.

There are two options now, one is to sell pills, the other is to sell puppets.

But both of these were too eye-catching, and he didn't want to take them out for the time being.

There are only two alchemists in the entire Guyuan City. If he sells pills, a small amount will not attract too much attention, and it can be said that he bought them from somewhere else. If a large amount appears, it will interfere with the market and affect the interests of the two alchemists and the forces behind them.

His current small body cannot bear the consequences of doing so.

Unless he also joined a certain force, such as Qingyun Sect, he believed that the other party would be very happy to accept an alchemist, but he did not want to live in Guyuan City for a long time, so it was impossible for him to join the other party.

The most important thing is that his alchemy skills are not real. If anyone discusses the experience and theories of alchemy with him, it will be exposed immediately.

The same goes for selling puppets. These things aren't available in Guyuan City, so it's impossible to take them out without attracting attention.

"If it doesn't work, then learn a more advanced method of making talismans and continue to maintain your identity as a talisman maker. If it still doesn't work, then leave here and go to other cities to have a look."

Chen Lin muttered to himself and made a decision.

Then just stroll around the market.

Because a lot of good things were unearthed in the ancient caves, many monks came to hunt for treasures, and the flow of people in the market also increased.

The most obvious thing is that more people are setting up stalls.

Chen Lin came to a stall and was attracted by a magical weapon on it.

"This was unearthed from the ancient cultivator's cave, right?"

Chen Lin took the magic weapon in his hand, examined it and asked.
