Cultivating Immortality: Starting from Ferrying Passengers

Chapter 49 Market Delivery
"Here's the thing, Third Brother. I have a batch of silent notes that I'd like to sell. Are you interested? Some of these silent notes are defective, so the price is very low. I guarantee you'll make a profit."

Wu Laosan has a rigid demand for silent notes. After a hunt, he always needs two or three. It will be a good idea to sell them to him.

Although you can get goods from the monster-hunting team, how can it be as cheap as hunting them yourself?

If you successfully catch a black wind pig and cut it into pieces and sell it, you can get hundreds of low-grade spirit stones, and the cost is only about ten low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, if the hunt is unsuccessful, the amount of talismans consumed will be small and well within the acceptable range.

But Wu Laosan definitely couldn't handle more than a hundred silent notes. However, Wu Laosan also had his own friends and colleagues. With his connections, he could easily buy them and resell them, becoming a middleman.

Hearing Fang Jingxuan's words, Wu Laosan's eyes lit up. If it were other talismans, he would not be sure, but he was familiar with the silent note as he had used it so many times.

"Defective product? How do you say that?"

Seeing that Wu Laosan was interested, Fang Jingxuan explained:

"This was drawn by a novice talisman maker. He's just starting out and lacks experience. Although it can be activated, the silent range is less than ten feet, so it's considered a defective product."

Although the silent note has a standard configuration circuit, the effect that each talisman can achieve varies from person to person.

High-level talisman makers can even add some other configurations to the silent note. Once this talisman is activated, it not only covers a large area, but also can suppress breath.

Of course, this is beyond the level of low-level talismans, and Fang Jingxuan is not yet able to reach this level.

But Fang Jingxuan knew clearly that the dozens of silent notes he made at the beginning were inferior to the silent notes on the market. Regarding this point, he would not sell inferior products as good ones and choose to cheat others.

This goes against Fang Jingxuan's principles of life. He is not kind-hearted, but wants to avoid the bad consequences brought about by greed as much as possible.

Many things are triggered by a little greed. Fang Jingxuan had seen a lot of this in his previous life.

For example, a boss worth millions deliberately withheld 3,000 yuan in salary, and ended up with his entire family being wiped out. This was caused by a little greed.

Fang Jingxuan didn't want to make such a low-level mistake. Being kind to others was not because he was kind himself, but because he tried hard to avoid bad consequences. This was Fang Jingxuan's way of doing things.

So no matter whether he was cooperating with Lao He, interacting with Wei Tong, or contacting the four brothers of the Cui family, he always chose fair trade and abided by the rules. He kept what was his, and he was not greedy at all for what was to be distributed.

This time was the same. Fang Jingxuan told Wu Laosan about the hidden danger in advance. After knowing it, he had a clear idea in his mind and would not have the idea of ​​being cheated afterwards.

If Fang Jingxuan chose to deceive, then Wu Lao San would be so angry that he would choose to find someone to block Fang Jingxuan. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble for himself?

Therefore, Fang Jingxuan made it clear that everyone could tell the difference and there was no need to bother.

Listening to Fang Jingxuan's words, Wu Laosan pondered for a few breaths, then took a few bites of the food to taste.

Fang Jingxuan was not in a hurry. If it worked, that would be the best. If not, he could look for someone else. As long as the price was low enough, talismans were hard currency and would sell.

After a moment, Wu Lao San made up his mind and said:
"If there's nothing wrong with the talisman and the price you offer is acceptable, then I'll take it."

Fang Jingxuan was slightly delighted. With what Wu Laosan said, the matter was already half done. The rest was just a matter of price.

Fang Jingxuan didn't plan to make much money from this first business, but it would be great if he could ship the goods and open up channels.

After the two finished eating and drinking, Fang Jingxuan followed Wu Laosan to his home.

"Madam, there are guests at home. Ask Aunt Wu to pour tea."

The place where Wu Laosan lived was quite large, and it didn't look like a shack at all. It was not much different from an ordinary house. Seeing Fang Jingxuan's surprised expression, Wu Laosan smiled complacently:
"Here, if you can fight, have connections, and eat well, as long as you have one, you can live a comfortable life;
People from the market have come to inspect my house many times, but I have always passed inspection, thanks to this."

Wu Laosan took out a low-grade spirit stone and shook it. The crystal-clear spirit stone sparkled in the sunlight.

"Oh, I see. Third brother is so powerful that he even hired mortal servants. You are even more impressive than the masters in the market."

Wu Laosan also hired several mortal servants to take care of his daily life, and his life was indeed very leisurely.

"Hey, there's no one outside the market to take care of them, so just keep them alive. These are our relatives from our hometown who have come here for refuge, so you have to take care of them."

When mentioning his hometown, Fang Jingxuan's expression darkened. He no longer had any family in this world.

"Come on, come on, go in and have some tea, we can talk in detail."

Fang Jingxuan asked Tu Yuan to wait at the door to avoid scaring those mortals, and he followed Wu Lao San into the courtyard.

When he got inside, Fang Jingxuan didn't look at it for long, but took out ten silent notes from his storage bag and showed them to Wu Laosan.

“These are the first defective pieces, and the shrouding effect starts from seven feet and goes up to eight and a half feet.

These are perfect quality instruments, and are almost identical to the silent instruments on the market. You can compare them to see the difference.”

Wu Laosan picked it up and looked at it carefully for a moment, then finally shook his head and put it down. He knew how to use it, just by inputting some spiritual power to activate it, but Fang Jingxuan asked him to compare the talisman structure, which he couldn't understand at all.

If he really understood it, why would he still be selling meat and being a butcher?

At this time, Wu Laosan looked at Fang Jingxuan with a half-smile on his face. He said:

"You made these silent notes yourself, didn't you?"

Fang Jingxuan was not surprised by Wu Laosan's reaction. It was difficult for him to hide this matter. Thinking that they would have to deal with each other for a long time in the future, Fang Jingxuan admitted it generously.

"I never thought you would embark on the path of talisman making. With this skill, you have a promising future."

Hearing Fang Jingxuan's admission, Wu Laosan's expression became even more excited, and then his attitude towards Fang Jingxuan also became a little warmer.

Among the four arts of cultivation, formation, elixir, weapon and talisman, talisman making comes last but it is also noble enough.

Make friends with a talisman maker in advance, as this will be your network in the future.

"So, we should have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. So this time..."

"Just calculate it normally. Don't try to force me to pay, and I won't cheat you. We'll just take it slow and steady."

After Fang Jingxuan finished saying this, he began to estimate the value of each note one by one with Wu Laosan. In the end, it was calculated that there were a total of 123 silent notes, which could be converted into 95 low-grade spirit stones.

The overall discount rate is more than 80%, which means you can earn several more low-grade spirit stones than going to Lao He for a favor.

The most important thing is that the channel here has been initially opened. If there are silent notes in the future, Wu Laosan will be able to produce a lot.

After the money and goods were settled, Fang Jingxuan was satisfied and said goodbye to Wu Laosan. However, after he left, Wu Laosan looked at Fang Jingxuan's back, then looked at the talisman on the table. His eyes were dim, and no one knew what he was thinking.
