There is no future for menial disciples? I draw talismans to achieve immortality
Chapter 697 Suspect
The following days.
Xu Changshou only did three things: practice, observe Hu Baxian's customers, and sell talismans.
Hu Baxian only has a few guests a day. Apart from those acquaintances and people nearby, there are basically no strangers.
You can't observe many people in a day.
As for selling talismans, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s good enough if you can sell one talisman in three to five days.
Therefore, Xu Changshou devoted most of his attention to refining elixirs.
You can also refine the Yuanling Pill while lying on a recliner, but it is not as efficient as when you are meditating.
In one month, Xu Changshou refined twenty-five pills.
If he meditated at a normal speed, Xu Changshou would be able to refine more than one pill a day, and about thirty-five pills a month.
This speed is slower than usual, but there is no other way. In order to make more money, I can only make time for cultivation.
This month, Xu Changshou sold a total of nine talismans.
Nine of them would mean nine thousand medium-grade spirit stones. It’s not as much as what the Immortal Cultivation Guild would sell for, but it’s still a considerable amount.
If he added the money he earned from setting up the stall and the money he earned from selling talismans at the Xiuxian Guild, he could probably make 20,000 yuan a month.
This speed of making money is definitely the ceiling level among ordinary people.
But for Xu Changshou, it was still not enough.
He can refine thirty Yuanling Pills in a month, and thirty pills means thirty thousand spirit stones. The monthly consumption of thirty thousand spirit stones is definitely not enough, and drawing talismans also requires capital.
It’s okay now. Although I can’t cover my expenses, if I really set up a stall to sell talismans, the income won’t affect my cultivation speed too much.
However, Xu Changshou has to consider the future. His current monthly expenses are 30,000. Once he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, the consumption will increase, and 30,000 will not be enough.
At present, Xu Changshou has been exposed to dangerous tasks, and all of them are high-risk and high-paying tasks. Naturally, the money he earns from setting up a stall cannot compare to those dangerous tasks.
What's more, Nalan Wei is still evaluating him, and there is still more room for advancement in his career.
Therefore, at this time, Xu Changshou would definitely not give up his bright future and live a life of setting up stalls and lying down.
In addition, Hu Baxian's attitude towards him also changed. He no longer mocked Xu Changshou, but became very respectful.
Ever since Xu Changshou's talisman was sold for the first time, Hu Baxian no longer dared to mock Xu Changshou.
In the following days, he was secretly calculating Xu Changshou's turnover.
In one month, Xu Changshou sold nine thousand medium-grade spirit stones. No matter how much others earned, this turnover was several times his. His monthly turnover was at most two thousand medium-grade spirit stones.
The most hateful thing is that he is busy all day long, while Xu Changshou basically sleeps all the time.
He makes money while sleeping, and earns more than him. How despicable is that?
Hu Baxian's attitude towards him improved and he spoke less. It just so happened that Xu Changshou was busy with cultivation and had no time to pay attention to him, so the less Hu Baxian spoke, the better.
In a blink of an eye, another two months passed.
In the past two months, Xu Changshou's turnover has exceeded ten thousand yuan every month.
Hu Baxian was extremely envious, but Xu Changshou was very anxious.
Three months had passed, and in another three months, the deadline for the task given to him by Nalan Wei would be up.
This task also has a deadline, which is two years. Once it exceeds two years, the task deadline will be automatically cancelled.
Let alone two years, Xu Changshou couldn't wait even for half a year, because half a year was the deadline Nalan Wei gave him. If he couldn't complete the task, her assessment of himself would be tantamount to a failure.
Xu Changshou was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Right now, he had no choice but to sit back and wait.
The sun sets and the breeze blows.
It was almost time to close the stall. Xu Changshou ended his day of practice and stretched.
"Mr. Liu, you are here."
"Eight Immortals, don't forget to bring me some Qingming grass tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I'll definitely deliver it to you before dawn tomorrow. I guarantee I won't delay your business."
"Don't forget to tell your grandfather."
"Got it. As usual, we need the best quality Qingming grass, and it must be the freshest."
"You are smart, go early. I have a reward for you. If you are late, I will show you how I will deal with you."
"No, no, I will be on time."
"..."
Xu Changshou glanced at Hu Baxian's stall. At this time, Hu Baxian was chatting with an old man in white clothes and white hair.
The old man has white hair and a youthful face, a thin appearance, and an immortal-like demeanor. He seems very energetic, and his cultivation is also good, having reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage.
"Eight Immortals, let's go. See you tomorrow."
"Take care, Mr. Liu. I'll see you off!"
Hu Baxian supported the old man and passed by Xu Changshou's stall. When the breeze blew, Xu Changshou suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood.
"Ok?"
Xu Changshou's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to scan the old man. The old man was very alert, and looked at Xu Changshou with sharp eyes.
Xu Changshou didn't dare to look at him. After taking a look, he hurriedly lowered his head.
There is something wrong with this old man.
This bloody smell can only be smelled on butchers. It is the smell left by years of killing and their hands bathed in countless blood. The smell is very light, but it is not easy to remove.
This old man has an immortal-like appearance and seems to have nothing in common with a butcher.
something wrong.
Xu Changshou immediately became suspicious of the old man, thinking that he might be the Blood Butcher in disguise.
The Blood Butcher is good at illusion. At this time, Xu Changshou only needs a talisman to see through the Blood Butcher.
But this time they were in the market town, where there were too many people and it was not easy to take action. If the other party noticed and a fight broke out, the situation would be difficult to control.
After the old man walked away, Xu Changshou looked at Hu Baxian and asked, "Brother Hu, who is this person?"
"This is one of my big clients. His surname is Liu, and he's a pharmacist. He's very kind and often saves the dying and the wounded..."
“Pharmacist…”
After hearing what Hu Baxian said, Xu Changshou couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Hu Baxian had said long ago that there was a pharmacist named Liu in Qilin Town who was one of his big clients. Whenever this big client wanted Qingming grass, Liu would personally deliver it to him. He seldom came, so Xu Changshou had never seen him, but had only heard of such a person.
In the world of immortal cultivation in Sangyu, pharmacist is a profession. It is a person who specializes in treating immortal cultivators, which is equivalent to a doctor in the mortal world.
Because cultivators rarely get sick, there are very few pharmacists, and there are no such specialized pharmacists in the Dongyu cultivation world.
If he is a pharmacist, then the old man's identity is even more worthy of consideration.
It is impossible for a pharmacist to have the bloody smell that only a butcher has.
Xu Changshou immediately listed this person as a major suspect.
"Brother Hu, I feel like something's wrong with my body. When you deliver the herbs tomorrow, can you take me with you? I want to see Mr. Liu."
"Sure. Wait for me at the entrance to the market before dawn tomorrow, and I'll take you there."
"it is good!"
