Han Changming followed Han Changjiong for a stroll. When he saw something he didn't understand, he asked Han Changjiong. Han Changjiong answered them one by one, and Han Changming gained a lot of knowledge.
An hour later, Han Changming and Han Changjiong returned to Lingfu Pavilion.
Han Changjing pushed open the door of a guest room on the second floor. The room was simply furnished with a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a few chairs. There were a large number of red runes on the floor and walls, looming.
"Ninth brother, this is your room. You will make talismans in this room from now on. When making talismans, remember to turn on the soundproof array to avoid being disturbed by outsiders. There are fire-proof runes engraved on the walls and floors. You can make talismans boldly." Han Changjiong said, pointing to the house.
"Got it, Seventh Brother."
Han Changjing gave a few more instructions and turned to leave.
After seeing Han Changjiong off, Han Changming sat cross-legged on the bed.
Recalling what he saw and heard today, Han Changming sighed: "Kuixingfang City is indeed as prosperous as grandpa said. I wonder how grandpa is doing now."
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Han Dehai assigned tasks to Han Changjing and Han Changming.
Forty pieces of blank talisman paper are needed every month. Han Changjiong has to refine one hundred first-grade medium-quality talismans every month, Han Changming has to refine one hundred and fifty first-grade low-quality talismans every month, and Han Dehai has to refine seventy first-grade high-quality talismans every month.
The higher the grade of the talisman, the more mana it consumes and the more difficult it is to refine.
"Lingfu Pavilion is a newly opened shop, so we must run it well. You must diligently refine talismans, but this should not affect your cultivation. My suggestion is that you complete your tasks first, and then practice. This way you can maximize the use of your time. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Han Dehai said earnestly.
"Yes, Uncle Thirteen." Han Changjiong and Han Changming agreed in unison.
Han Dehai gave them a few instructions and asked them to go back to their room to refine talismans.
The more talismans he refined and the higher their grades, the more contribution points Han Changming would get.
If he completed the task, he would get 100 contribution points every month, and a salary of 20 spirit stones, which Han Changming could not even imagine before.
Life is getting better and better, Han Changming must work harder to make life better and better.
Han Dehai gave him forty dozen blank talisman papers and five boxes of cinnabar. Generally speaking, ten dozen blank talisman papers will consume one box of cinnabar. Cinnabar is relatively expensive. A box of first-level cinnabar costs ten spirit stones. Cinnabar is refined with a variety of materials, and the main material is the essence and blood of monsters.
With the spirit gathering stone in hand, Han Changming can use up five dozen blank talisman papers a day if he does not rest. Of course, this is for refining a first-grade low-grade talisman. If the grade of the talisman is higher, the refining time will be longer.
Han Changming activated the soundproofing array in the room, sat quietly for a quarter of an hour, adjusted his state to the best, and began to refine the talisman.
He placed a blank talisman paper on the wooden table, dipped the talisman pen in cinnabar, and dropped it towards the talisman paper.
Not long after, a blue rune appeared on the rune paper, followed by the second, the third...
A day passed quickly.
Han Changming looked at the stack of water shield talismans on the table, and a relieved smile appeared on his pale cheeks.
He used five and a half dozen blank talisman papers today to refine twenty water shield talismans, and used up most of a box of cinnabar.
At this rate, he would be able to complete the task in less than ten days, and would have the remaining twenty days to practice.
Han Changming put away the refined talisman, took out the spirit gathering stone, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly recovered his magic power.
One night passed quickly.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Han Dehai asked about the progress of Han Changjing and Han Changming.
Han Changjiong refined six earth wall talismans, and Han Changming lied and refined eleven water cover talismans.
Without the help of the Spirit Gathering Stone, he could only refine eleven Water Shield Talismans a day, and meditating to recover his magic power took too much time.
"Chang Ming, have you refined eleven water shield talismans? Take care of your body and don't work too hard." Han Dehai said with concern.
"Got it, Uncle Thirteen."
Han Changjing stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth and said vaguely, "Uncle Thirteen, I think we should reduce some of the tasks for Ninth Brother! One hundred and twenty will be enough, and I will help him refine the remaining thirty. Anyway, my success rate in refining first-level low-grade talismans is 40%, so thirty can be refined quickly."
Han Dehai pondered for a moment, looked at Han Changming, and said, "Changming, you only need to refine 120 first-level low-grade talismans every month, and I will refine the remaining 30. Don't work too hard, which will affect your cultivation. However, this will reduce the contribution points and spirit stones you get every month. Once you improve your success rate, you can slowly increase the number of talismans!"
Lingfu Pavilion had just opened for business, and he wanted to run it well. He thought that Han Changming was working hard to refine talismans in order to complete the task, so he took the initiative to reduce Han Changming's tasks.
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Thirteen, and Brother Seventh." Han Changming did not refuse.
He knew that Han Dehai and Han Changjing cared about him, so he did not tell them the truth regarding the secret of the Spirit Gathering Stone.
The actions of Han Dehai and Han Changjiong made Han Changming feel the warmth of family. Being from the same clan and origin is different. If it were a sect of immortal cultivation, it might not be so good.
After breakfast, Han Changming and Han Changjiong went back to their room to make talismans.
Han Changming took out the talisman pen, talisman paper and cinnabar and began to refine the talisman.
Not long after, a red rune appeared on the rune paper, followed by the second, the third...
Three months passed quickly.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his breathing through his nose showed a rhythmic sense.
There was a layer of yellow glow on his body surface, and as he breathed in and out, the yellow glow became more and more dazzling.
After a while, the yellow glow on Han Changming's body dissipated and he opened his eyes.
He felt that his aura had become much stronger. Using the Sky Eye Technique to observe his Dantian, he could see a yellow cyclone.
Han Changming got out of bed, stretched, opened the door and walked out.
Han Dehai and Han Changjiong were having breakfast. Han Changjiong held a big white steamed bun in each hand and swallowed it directly into his mouth.
"Uncle Thirteen, Brother Seven, good morning." Han Changming greeted them and sat down to have breakfast.
"Changming, this is your salary for this month. Uncle Thirteen was right about you. The number of first-grade low-quality talismans you submit every month is increasing, and the success rate of first-grade mid-quality talismans is close to 30%." Han Dehai praised, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Han Changming.
"It is all thanks to Uncle Thirteen and Brother Nine's patient guidance, otherwise I would not have made such rapid progress." Han Changming said modestly.
Han Changjing grinned and said, "I like what you said, Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother, there is a beast fight in the Beast Palace today. Do you want to go and have a look? Staying in the house all day, either making talismans or practicing, is really boring. Let's go and watch the beast fight and have a good meal to satisfy our hunger. We are tired of drinking porridge and eating steamed buns all day."
