Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 27 The First Batch of Spirit Stones!
Ronan's skill in crafting amulets had, after all, reached the level of a grandmaster.

When drawing amulets at a skilled level, one hardly needs to look at them; one simply holds the wolf-hair brush and moves it swiftly across sheets of yellow paper.

Before long, one hundred skilled-level protective amulets were drawn.

He used a piece of old cloth he bought from the market to wrap a hundred amulets, tied them into a bundle, and carried it out.

……

Ronan returned to the market.

When he bought talismans and other items, he inquired around the market.

Currently, the price of a skilled-level amulet is one low-grade spirit stone for ten amulets.

Ronan found an empty spot in the market.

He sat down on the ground, untied the bundle containing the talismans, spread them out on the ground, and divided the talismans into ten portions.

Each portion was weighed down with a stone to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

"Fellow Daoist, are these protective talismans you're selling?"

As a mid-grade first-tier talisman, the amulet is of great use in magical combat.

Not long after Ronan set up his display, several monks immediately came forward to inquire about it.

“That’s right, ten for one low-grade spirit stone,” Ronan said.

The monk listened and sized up Ronan:

“Fellow Daoist, you look unfamiliar. I’ve never seen you selling amulets in the market before.”

"Can you guarantee the authenticity of this talisman?"

'Well, that's the downside of buying and selling talismans in a marketplace without a notary,' Ronan thought.

If someone can distinguish between genuine and fake talismans, they can probably draw their own talismans and won't need to buy them.

If one cannot discern the truth, the only way to test the authenticity of a talisman is to use it.

If we use them all, how can we sell them?
“This talisman is absolutely genuine,” Ronan said.

He was new to the place and didn't know if there were any great oaths or similar vows in this world of cultivation.

If there is one, he can erect one on the spot.

The cultivator pondered for a moment, then shook his head and left.

"Yes, my talismans are priced similarly to those of other sellers, and since no one can guarantee their authenticity, buyers will naturally go back to the old stall."

Thinking of this, Ronan saw another monk come to inquire, and said:

"Twelve amulets, one low-grade spirit stone each, take them."

The new cultivator was slightly surprised upon hearing this, examining the talisman, though it was unclear whether he could tell the difference between the real and fake ones.

After a while, he asked cautiously, "Why are your talismans so cheap? Is there a problem?"

Ronan looked up, exchanged a silent glance with the monk, and after a moment said, "I urgently need money."

The newly arrived cultivator pondered for a moment, shook his head, and walked away.

Ronan couldn't help but grin.

His grandma!

Selling these hundred low-level amulets is harder than drawing a thousand master-level amulets!
No, we need to open up the market!

Ronan gradually calmed down, pondering how to sell the amulet.

After thinking for a while, I had an idea.

He immediately shouted, "A beginner in talisman making is selling protective talismans. I hope you fellow cultivators will support me. Twenty talismans will cost one low-grade spirit stone. I'll only sell them after you've tried them!"

Soon, several cultivators were attracted by the shouts.

Because amulets are cheap, most people will assume that there is something wrong with them.

Who knows, the talismans you buy might not even be usable.

Ronan said he was a beginner in talisman making, which was essentially revealing his shortcomings.

Very few people would reveal their shortcomings, so these few cultivators subconsciously assumed that Ronan was just a beginner.

They might think that most talismans drawn by beginners have problems.

But at least, beginners are different from complete fraudsters; the talismans they draw still have magical power.

However, the power of the talisman is not as great as that of the talisman drawn by an experienced talisman drawer.

Therefore, this is why beginners are selling at a low price.

Since talismans are weak, why not just use two at the same time?

After quickly analyzing the situation in their minds, the cultivators immediately became interested in Ronan's talisman.

Moreover, Ronan had promised them they could try the spell.

"Let me try one and see how good you are, fellow Daoist." "You draw one."

Ronan picked up a stack of talismans and handed them to the monk.

The cultivator drew out a card and infused it with magical power.

A force enveloped the cultivator.

Then, the cultivator made a sword incantation while chanting incantations.

His right index and middle fingers, held together, were wrapped in a sharp, silvery sheen.

He poked two fingers into the invisible membrane of the amulet.

An invisible membrane, on the verge of breaking.

"What's wrong, fellow Daoist?" a cultivator next to him asked.

The cultivator testing the talisman's power had a slight gleam in his eyes: "The power of the talisman drawn by this fellow Daoist seems to be almost the same as that of the talismans from the other stalls in the market."

Then, looking at Ronan, he asked, "Are you really a beginner?"

“Yes,” Ronan said. “I only studied for a little over a year. I only got the hang of it three months ago and drew my first talisman. After practicing for a few more months, I dared to sell it.”

Having studied for over a year, I'm not really a beginner, let alone an expert.

These cultivators saw that one of the talismans was indeed powerful, and that this "beginner" was somewhere between a beginner and an expert.

As for why it was sold so cheaply, they believed it was because the person was selling for the first time and lacked confidence.

As a result, these cultivators all had the idea of ​​buying it.

But as cultivators at the bottom level, they were used to being cautious.

For a moment, everyone hesitated and didn't decide to buy.

A moment later, the cultivator who had tested the talisman gritted his teeth and said, "Give me twenty."

“Okay.” Ronan immediately counted out twenty amulets.

The cultivator also took out a low-grade spirit stone.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

"Finally done! My first deal was really tough!"

Ronan was thrilled as he touched the spirit stone for the first time.

After the first cultivator arrived, a second cultivator asked to try the talismans. After trying them, he bought twenty talismans.

Ronan obtained a second low-grade spirit stone.

After that, the third and fourth cultivators each tried one talisman and bought twenty.

By the time it reached the fifth cultivator, only sixteen talismans remained.

However, the fifth cultivator noticed that the previous four cultivators, when testing the talismans, all said that the power of these talismans was comparable to that drawn by an experienced hand.

Moreover, he personally witnessed that these four cultivators randomly drew a card to try.

He felt that the remaining sixteen talismans should also be fine.

Sixteen expert-level talismans, and a low-grade spirit stone.

This is definitely a profitable deal.

"No need to try, it's a waste! I'll give you a low-grade spirit stone, and give me the rest," the cultivator said.

"Fellow Daoist, you are magnanimous."

Ronan neatly arranged the remaining sixteen talismans and completed the transaction with the cultivator.

At this time, there were still monks lingering at Ronan's empty stalls.

"Fellow Daoist, when will you come to sell talismans again? Will you offer this price next time?" a cultivator asked.

"Next time, next time."

As Ronan answered, he gathered up the tattered rags.

Before leaving, he strolled around the market again.

At a stall, I saw a book of "Flying Sword Talismans" for sale for one mid-grade spirit stone.

After visiting the market several times, he learned that the exchange rate between low-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit stones fluctuated around 100 to 1.

'Both the amulet and the lightness amulet are geared towards melee combat; I need to find a way to attack from a distance.'

'If I save up enough spirit stones, I'll buy this flying sword talisman manual!'

Ronan thought to himself.

Thank you so much, Chi Yan, for the generous donation!
