Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

Chapter 45: The first experience of selling talismans, the weak, helpless and pitiful He Ling

He tried it several times, and when he drew the tenth picture, the spiritual weapon disc stopped because it had used up all the fire-attribute spiritual stones.

He Ling put down the talisman pen and nodded with satisfaction. She drew a total of sixteen talismans, consuming two fire-attribute spirit stones. In total, one spirit stone could draw eight talismans. Although the quality of her talismans was average and there was no seal, the cost was low.

She placed the last fire-attributed spirit stone on the spirit disc and drew eight more talismans. Now, apart from the one that was activated by the power of the previous experiment, she had a total of twenty-three fireball talismans in her hand.

She earned a total of twenty-five spirit stones from selling talisman paper. She had previously spent thirteen spirit stones on purchasing disc spiritual energy, fire-attribute spirit stones, and spirit snake eggs. Now she had twelve spirit stones left. He Ling thought about it and decided to exchange some fire-attribute spirit stones tomorrow. By then, she would collect thirty pieces and then sell them all together. Her talismans had no seals and could not be stored for too long. She could only sell one batch first and then draw another.

In the evening, He Ling wanted to cook the spirit snake eggs, but found that there was not enough talisman paper. Considering the stall tomorrow, he put the snake eggs aside and started making talisman paper overnight. He Ling's physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, and now he is a cultivator, so staying up all night is naturally no problem for him.

The next day, he went to exchange for fire-attribute spirit stones. This time, He Ling exchanged the right ones. He exchanged ten at a time and got fifteen fire-attribute spirit stones in total.

She went home and used the talisman-making machine again, drew seven fireball talismans and then stopped. She now had a total of thirty fireball talismans in her hand. If she couldn't sell them and they were piled up, the spiritual energy of the talismans would slowly dissipate, causing losses in vain, which would be bad.

The Talisman Maker was the name He Ling gave to the spiritual weapon disc. It was simple and easy to understand, but the Talisman Maker was not without its shortcomings. After ordinary talisman masters became proficient in drawing talismans, they would sometimes suddenly have a flash of inspiration and draw fine talismans with stronger and larger effects/power than usual. However, this would not happen when He Ling used the Talisman Maker. Moreover, if he wanted to make other talismans in the future, he would have to make a new Talisman Maker. However, that was all a matter for the future.

He Ling put the thirty fireball talismans into a black cloth bag and fed the two dogs in advance before going out.

The street of independent cultivators was still as bustling as ever, with independent cultivators setting up stalls and constantly selling their wares to the passing cultivators.

He Ling didn't even need to look, knowing that there was definitely no space ahead, so he walked straight inside. On the way, he met the old talisman master with whom he had traded the day before. He smiled kindly at He Ling and nodded to her, who also smiled back.

He Ling found a place closer to the inside and took out a piece of black cloth from his arms. He shook it and spread it on the ground. He placed two fireball talismans for display on the black cloth and then sat cross-legged on it.

Although He Ling's stall is located relatively far in the middle, she is not worried about having no customers. People who come to the street of casual cultivators are basically here for the cheap prices. Most cultivators will compare several stores before choosing to buy. Sure enough, He Ling's stall had been set up for a while when two or three cultivators came over to ask about the price.

According to market conditions, this kind of first-level talisman without a seal would usually cost about two for one spirit stone, but she could make a profit by selling four for one spirit stone. However, He Ling still priced it at two for one spirit stone. If she priced it too low, the talisman masters around her would be out of business. Then they would have some ill intentions towards He Ling, or collectively target her. However, He Ling did not refuse any discounts. She took out a wooden board that she had prepared in advance, which said, buy four fireball talismans and get one free, buy eight and get two free, and so on.

It is equivalent to one spirit stone buying two and a half fireball talismans. Although the apparent price has not changed, the actual price is much lower than that of the surrounding talisman masters.

Sure enough, the two monks who asked the price at the beginning finally turned back.

A big man with his clothes worn sideways, half naked and covered with scars on his upper body, returned to He Ling's stall. He was one of the people who had come to ask for the price before. He Ling knew at a glance that he was a cultivator who made a living by hunting monsters. Only cultivators of this special profession would not care about the storage time of talismans, because they usually used them directly after getting them and would not keep them for that long.

The big man first looked He Ling over, then pointed at a fireball talisman on the stall and said, "Boss, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here setting up a stall on San Xiu Street? Can you let me see your fireball talisman?"

He Ling didn't hide anything and nodded directly, "Yes, Daoist friend, please take a look. If Daoist friend wants more, I can give you a discount."

The big man didn't respond. He carefully examined the fireball talisman, thought about it, and threw out two spirit stones. "Okay, I'll buy four."

He Ling took the spirit stone and counted out five fireball talismans, but handed them to the big man in two batches. "These are your four fireball talismans, and this one is a gift from me."

The big man took the fireball talisman and felt a little relieved. Although he knew it was a gimmick, he still felt that he had gotten a good deal when he really got the fireball talisman.

Another cultivator who was originally a little hesitant, after seeing the big man really use two spirit stones to buy five fireball talismans, also walked forward directly.

"Boss, give me five too." After saying that, he threw out two spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist, there are only four fireball talismans, and one is a gift." He Ling counted out the fireball talismans and corrected.

The monk nodded and said nothing more. As long as nothing was missing, it didn't matter what she was.

Then a few more people came over to ask the price, but only one person returned to He Ling's stall.

He Ling was not surprised. Low price was not the first factor that cultivators considered. Many cultivators would rather choose talismans from old talisman masters who had a certain reputation and from whom they had purchased talismans many times than try the talismans from a new master whose quality they did not know.

He Ling can't rush to gain a good reputation. It will only be useful if others truly feel that the product is good after using it.

In the end, until the stall was closed in the evening, only four cultivators came to buy He Ling's talismans, and they all bought four fireball talismans. He Ling also gave each of them a fireball talisman.

After counting, he found that he sold eight spirit stones in total today, which was better than He Ling expected.

After all, even if the remaining ten tickets could not be sold, it would not matter. She had already recovered the cost and even made a small profit.

Call it a day, call it a day.

On the way back to the cave, He Ling also bought two bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills. The cultivator's stall also had a Qi-nourishing Pill that allowed one to go without food for several days. The price was not expensive, two bottles for one spirit stone. Although He Ling was curious about the Qi-nourishing Pills, she did not buy them after all. It was not because of the spirit stone issue, but because she felt that if she did not eat, she would always feel like something was missing.

As soon as she got home, the two dogs came to greet her, wagging their tails. After she touched the dogs' heads, He Ling started a fire and started cooking.

Halfway through the meal, she remembered that there were still five snake eggs in the box. However, He Ling was already eating and was too lazy to deal with the snake eggs. After thinking about it, she decided to eat them tomorrow. She could also buy some side dishes on the way back tomorrow. After all, it was her first time eating monster meat, and she didn't want to eat too simply. Life still needed a sense of ritual. Besides, the box could prevent the spiritual energy from escaping, so it would not be a big deal to keep it for two more days.

He Ling didn't sleep at night. She was too weak now. Now that she had money, she had to seize the time to improve her strength. If she was seen as a fat sheep that anyone could pinch, they would just pay a whole bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills for her. He Ling then sat cross-legged and used meditation instead of sleeping.

The next day, He Ling used the talisman-making machine to draw thirty fireball talismans as usual, and came to the street of casual cultivators early to set up a stall.

Although there were stalls closer to the front, He Ling still chose yesterday's position. She was not strong enough now, weak and pitiful. If she had a conflict with others, she would most likely suffer. Anyway, she couldn't sell too many talismans at once, so she might as well stay at the back.

The sun sets and the day passes quickly. Today is a little better than yesterday, but only a little better. More than ten cultivators came to ask the price today, but only five people bought. And the quantity they bought was also uniform, all of them bought four talismans.

After counting, a total of 25 fireball talismans were sold today, and 10 spirit stones were bought. He Ling nodded with satisfaction. At least it was better than yesterday.

On the way back, she bought some seasonings and animal meat. She didn't forget to go home and cook the five spirit snake eggs today. In fact, she was quite curious about what the spirit snake eggs would taste like.
