Han Changming was not interested in hunting monsters with a group of Qi-refining monks, so he refused directly.
Not long after, the waiter came with three bowls of green fish noodles, and they ate and chatted.
The green fish noodles are worthy of being the signature dish of Chen’s Noodle House, and they taste very good.
"Friend Hu, do you have any first-level talismans? We want to buy some from you."
Ye Xin and Ye Xue often need to use talismans when they go out to sea to hunt monsters.
"I don't have many talismans on me, these are all." Han Changming took out a green storage bag and handed it to Ye Xin.
After they carefully counted, they nodded to each other.
"Friend Hu, is it still the original price?"
"Of course, but the quantity is a bit large. Do you have enough spirit stones? If not, you can use something as collateral."
The total value of the talismans in the storage bag was more than two thousand spirit stones. Even if Ye Xue and Ye Xin could buy them, they would not have too many spirit stones on them. In this case, they had to go to Lingdan Hall to buy talismans, unless there was something wrong with the elixirs in Lingdan Hall.
"We really don't have that many spiritual medicines, so let's use spiritual herbs as collateral! We happen to have a few fifty-year-old amaranth plants, which are the favorite of poisonous insects."
Han Changming nodded and agreed to the deal.
Ye Xue took out more than 1,500 spirit stones and a batch of blue grass.
They go out to sea to hunt monsters, which may take one or two years or several months at most, so it is better to buy more talismans.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, it's easy for you talisman makers to earn spirit stones, unlike us, who may not be able to come back one day." Ye Xue said in an envious tone.
They went out hunting monsters, braving the wind and rain, and if they were lucky, it would take them half a year to accumulate thousands of spirit stones. Han Changming sold them talismans and took away most of their savings in one go.
"You must have accumulated a lot of wealth from hunting monsters! You can learn a skill. Hunting monsters is not a long-term solution. If you stand by the river too often, you will get your feet wet." Han Changming advised kindly.
Ye Xin smiled bitterly and said, "We have also studied, but without anyone to guide us, we could not become talented through self-study, and we wasted thousands of spirit stones in vain."
Ye Xin and Ye Xue taught themselves the art of talismans, but without anyone to guide them, their failure rate was very high, and they wasted more than a thousand spirit stones with a very low success rate.
Ye Xue's beautiful eyes turned, and an expectant expression appeared on her face. She said, "Friend Hu, can you give us some advice? We are willing to pay you."
"Guidance?" Han Changming was slightly stunned. He never expected that Ye Xue would make this request.
Han Changming naturally didn't care about the cost. What he wanted to do most now was to expand the sales of Lingdantang as soon as possible.
Ye Xue actually didn't have any hope. Teaching her apprentice would only starve her to death. If Han Changming could teach them how to make talismans, they wouldn't have to buy talismans from Han Changming.
"Sister, please don't make things difficult for Fellow Daoist Hu. This kind of thing..."
"Okay, I can teach you how to make talismans, but you have to help me do a few things and pay me a sum of money."
If Ye Xin and Ye Xue learn how to make talismans, they will have even fewer spirit stones on them. In this way, the chances of them going to Lingdan Hall to buy elixirs will be higher. If they want to earn commissions, they will definitely help Lingdan Hall introduce customers, provided that the quality of Lingdan Hall's elixirs is no problem.
If there was really no other choice, Han Changming could only take the initiative to recommend Lingdantang's elixirs to them.
"What is it, Brother Hu, please tell me."
"I need four hundred year old Qingxinzhi, Yuyangcao, and Luoyuehua. If you have any news about these three spiritual herbs, please inform me immediately. Or if you help me get them, I will buy them from you. As long as they are old enough, the price is not a problem."
Han Zhangxiang was poisoned in his early years, and due to the lack of timely treatment, the residual poison remained in his body. The Han family found a second-level pill recipe that could dissolve the residual poison in Han Zhangxiang's body. All the auxiliary medicines were now available, leaving only three main medicines.
These three main medicines are often used to refine detoxification pills, and the demand is relatively large. Normally, a detoxification pill can be refined within a hundred years. However, the residual poison in Han Zhangxiang's body has remained in his body for many years, and the age of the main medicines is not high enough to completely eliminate it. The spiritual medicine that is more than four hundred years old can be used as an auxiliary medicine to refine the third-level pill.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue make a living by hunting monsters and travel around all year round. They might have a chance to come across these three main medicines.
"Is this the condition?" Ye Xue asked curiously.
This condition was not a condition at all. When they went out to hunt monsters, they had at most picked spiritual herbs that were a hundred years old. They had never encountered any spiritual herbs that were more than two hundred years old.
"I will guide you for five days each month, five hours each day, and you must pay me three hundred spirit stones each month. As for when you will learn, it depends on your talent."
Ye Xin and Ye Xue looked at each other, nodded and agreed.
Han Changming's conditions were not excessive. If they could master a skill, they would not want to go out to hunt monsters. However, this would make their money a little tight.
"Since you have no objection, then let's do this. Where do you live? I will come to your house the day after tomorrow to teach you how to make talismans. You need to buy the tools to make talismans."
"We are staying at Laiyue Inn now. We will wait for you at the door of Laiyue Inn the day after tomorrow."
Han Changming agreed and started chatting.
After eating the noodles, Han Changming said goodbye and left. Ye Xin and Ye Xue stood up to see him off.
"Sister, you really did guess right. He is either a disciple of a sect or a family, and definitely not a casual cultivator. How could a casual cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage use a 400-year-old elixir?"
The Qi-refining monks are busy practicing, and their main goal is to build a foundation. Four hundred year old spiritual medicines are difficult to find. If Han Changming wants four hundred year old spiritual medicines, he might as well go to a big store to ask. It is almost impossible to ask them for help. Besides, Han Changming is willing to teach them how to make talismans. Teaching a disciple will starve the master to death. It is impossible for Han Changming not to consider this.
"Sister, when we were doing business before, Brother Hu was always in the teahouse. He wasn't very interested in cakes and tea. This time he asked us to go to Chen's Noodle House just to eat noodles? It doesn't fit his character. I always feel that he deliberately led us to Chen's Noodle House." Ye Xin analyzed calmly.
"Lead us to Chen's Noodle House? What is he going to do?" Ye Xue asked curiously with eyes wide open.
Ye Xin's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Sister, do you still remember the Lingdan Hall just now? I remember that the shopkeeper claimed to be a descendant of the Han family of Huludao. Huludao means Hu, and Fellow Daoist Hu is likely a descendant of the Han family. He may want us to help recommend the elixirs of Lingdan Hall."
"Sister, this is impossible! If he is a member of the Han family, there is no need to do this! Wouldn't it be better to just state your identity directly!"
"Everyone has their own secrets. Those immortal cultivation families or sects all have their own spies. He may want to develop us into his spies. The taste of the green fish noodles is good, but there is more than one noodle shop in the market. Chen's noodle shop is just above average. With Hu Daoyou's financial resources, wouldn't he be reluctant to go to a big restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles? He came to Chen's noodle shop to eat. Combined with his usual words and deeds, he should be a child of the Han family."
