Three months passed quickly.
Han Changming sat in front of the table, concentrating on refining talismans.
There was a stack of light blue talismans on the table, and some discarded talisman papers were scattered on the ground.
After a moment, Han Changming put down the talisman pen in his hand, looked at the water wall talisman in front of him, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
Using the spiritual water produced by the Taiyi Hualing Gourd to make cinnabar greatly improves the success rate of talisman making.
Han Changming is now a first-level mid-grade talisman maker, and his success rate of first-level lower-mid-grade talismans has reached 50%, catching up with Han Changjing.
Forty pairs of blank talisman papers are used every month, a total of four hundred and eighty pieces. Han Changming can refine two hundred and forty talismans. Han Changming hands in one hundred and fifty first-level talismans every month, and keeps ninety first-level talismans. After three months, he has accumulated nearly three hundred first-level talismans.
Three hundred first-level talismans, if all were sold, would amount to a large sum of spirit stones.
The speed at which Taiyi Hualing Gourd absorbs spiritual energy is much greater than the speed at which the Lingju Stone absorbs spiritual energy. In more than a month, the Taiyi Hualing Gourd will suck all the spiritual energy out of the Lingju Stone. It will take more than half a month for the Lingju Stone to be fully absorbed again.
Han Changming guessed that it should be related to the environment he was in. The place where the Lingfu Pavilion was located did not have abundant spiritual energy. If it was on a spiritual vein, the spirit stone would absorb spiritual energy faster. This principle was the same as that of immortal cultivators practicing in the wasteland and on spiritual veins.
The higher the level of the spirit vein, the faster the spirit stone can restore spiritual energy, and the more spiritual water the Taiyi Hualing Gourd can produce.
Because of this drawback, Han Changming adjusted his practice time.
In the first month, he worked hard on making talismans. In one month, he could refine three months' worth of talismans, which is 450 pieces. The remaining two months were spent on cultivation.
During his cultivation, he let the Spirit Gathering Stone absorb spiritual energy and used the Taiyi Spirit Gourd to make spiritual water, which he stored and either took for cultivation or used to refine cinnabar.
Han Changming put away the talismans and talisman-making tools, walked out and prepared to have breakfast.
"Uncle Thirteen, Brother Seven, good morning!" Han Changming greeted Han Dehai and Han Changjiong.
Han Dehai and Han Changjing looked unhappy, as if they had encountered some difficulties.
"Changming, we are in trouble. I'm afraid you need to refine another batch of first-grade mid-quality talismans." Han Dehai said with a frown, his tone heavy.
Han Changming is already able to refine first-grade mid-quality talismans, and he hands in some of them every month, but the quantity is not large. He is mainly responsible for refining first-grade low-quality talismans. Han Changming did not tell Han Dehai and Han Changjing about his true level of talisman making.
In the eyes of Han Dehai and Han Changjiong, Han Changming's success rate in refining first-grade mid-grade talismans was just 30%, but Han Changming actually reached 50%.
You know, he has been transferred to Kuixing Market for less than a year. If his talisman-making skills improve too quickly, it will easily expose the existence of Taiyi Hualing Gourd.
"What's going on? Uncle Thirteen, did something happen?" Han Changming asked.
It was the first time he saw Han Dehai like this. Even if there was a large order, Han Changjing and Han Dehai could help!
Han Dehai sighed deeply and explained the whole story.
The shopkeeper of Lingfu Pavilion is Han Daoan, who is the nineteenth in the "Dao" generation and has been managing the business for his family. The raw material purchasing store went bankrupt and was replaced by Lingfu Pavilion. The family still let Han Daoan be the shopkeeper. Han Daoan was under a lot of pressure and he wanted to make some achievements.
Lingfu Pavilion has been open for more than half a year, and business has been lukewarm, but it has accumulated a group of repeat customers.
A demon hunting team often bought first-level talismans at the Lingfu Pavilion. Every time they bought a large number of first-level talismans, Han Daoan gave them some discounts in order to retain these repeat customers.
Last night, Chen Feng, the captain of the monster hunting team, invited Han Daoan to the teahouse for tea and chat. As an old customer, Han Daoan naturally agreed.
Chen Feng plans to pre-order a batch of 300 first-grade top-quality talismans, with a transaction volume of more than 4,000 spirit stones. This is definitely a big deal, but he wants it to be cheaper and the delivery must be within one month.
To be honest, one month was a bit tight, but since it was the first time Han Daoan received a big business, he naturally wanted to get it. After much hesitation, he finally agreed to the deal, offering a 15% discount over the market price.
The Lingfu Pavilion stores a batch of first-grade top-quality talismans. Han Dehai and Han Changjing can both refine first-grade top-quality talismans and put all their efforts into refining them. Even if they cannot complete the task, the Han family can purchase them from other talisman shops.
Both parties signed the document and Chen Feng paid a sum of spirit stones as a deposit.
Han Daoan returned to Lingfu Pavilion and learned an astonishing news. While he was away, a customer came to reserve 500 first-grade mid-quality talismans, to be delivered within a month, and the price was 20% lower than the market price.
When Han Daoan was away, Han Defu was in charge of the Lingfu Pavilion.
Han Defu is ranked seventeenth in the "De" generation and has five spiritual roots. He started working very early.
He was stunned by the transaction amount of thousands of spirit stones, and he agreed without hesitation, wrote a receipt, and collected a deposit.
Obviously, this is a trap.
The Han family has stored a batch of first-grade talismans, but the quantity is not large. Han Dehai and Han Changjing are busy refining first-grade top-grade talismans, while Han Changming is responsible for refining first-grade mid-grade talismans.
Han Dehai and Han Changjiong were busy, so the more first-grade intermediate talismans Han Changming refined, the smaller the loss of the Han family would be.
After hearing Han Dehai's words, Han Changming frowned.
"Uncle Thirteen, Brother Seven, I will try to refine as many first-level mid-grade talismans as possible. I definitely can't refine 500 in a month, so I'll do my best!"
Han Dehai patted Han Changming on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Just do your best. Don't force yourself. Uncle Nineteen and Brother Seventeen feel very guilty now."
"Uncle Thirteen, we can produce the talismans, but can Chen Feng produce the spirit stones? Can a casual cultivator produce so many spirit stones?"
Han Changming asked with some curiosity. The transaction amount of the two orders added up to seven or eight thousand spirit stones, which was definitely a huge sum.
"If they dare to do this, of course they can produce it. This was most likely done by the Chen family. The Chen family also has a talisman shop near the Lingfu Pavilion." Han Dehai said a little annoyed.
The Chen family and the Han family are old enemies. The Chen family is stronger, with seven foundation-building cultivators alone, and they control thirty-five islands.
In order to fight against the Chen family, the Han family married into another immortal cultivation family, the Liu family, to form an alliance to fight against the Chen family.
The Chen family is also a subsidiary force of Tinghai Pavilion. The difference is that the Chen family built their foundation by worshipping the clansmen of Tinghai Pavilion. Because of this relationship, when the conflict broke out between the Chen and Han families, the Han family suffered a lot.
The territories of the four families, Chen, Yang, Han and Liu, are connected together. The Chen family is the strongest, the Liu family is the weakest, and the Han family is second to last.
