My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 26: Rent a place to live and start selling talismans.

After walking around, Chen Qing found that the price of talismans here was a little lower than that in Maple Valley, but not much lower. With his level of talisman making, he could still make money.

After all, in terms of his attainments in talisman making, he is already at the top level. At the Qi Refining stage, he can be said to be at the top level of talisman makers. Although it is not as good as alchemy, weapon refining, and formation setting, it is cheap. With small profits but quick turnover, Chen Qing can make a lot of money.

Now that Chen Qing has come to Qiuye Island, he thinks that he must first find a place to live, then practice silently to the tenth level of Qi Refining, and then consider breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage.

As for a place to live, although there are many monks on Qiuye Island, there are also many mortals, so there are attics specially for mortals to live in. Chen Qing went to find Wang Er again and asked him to find a place for him to live. Wang Er patted his chest and agreed.

With the guidance of the locals, Chen Qing easily found a two-story attic where he could live, and Wang Er also helped him find the owner of the building. After some negotiation, Chen Qing used 400 spirit stones to rent the building for ten years. This price was acceptable to Chen Qing. The two-story building was named Liuguang Pavilion, which was a good name. He would live on the second floor and open a shop on the first floor, specializing in talismans. To prevent some uninitiated people from breaking into the building, Chen Qing also purchased a set of medium-quality defensive array plates, which contained a thick earth spirit array set by the array master. As long as it was placed in a specific place and activated with spirit stones, it could be used.

A first-grade, mid-quality formation was enough for Chen Qing to defend against cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, but it was a bit expensive. Five hundred spirit stones emptied Chen Qing's last bit of spirit stone reserves, leaving not a single one left.

In this way, Chen Qing settled down on Qiuye Island, and a talisman shop opened unknowingly.

Although the two-story attic where Chen Qing lived was not in a prime location, this could not stop the monks' demand for talismans. After only three days of opening, Chen Qing's Liuguang Pavilion attracted more than ten monks who came to buy talismans. Chen Qing also made some money back and saved some money.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your talisman arrived just in time. With your Ice Arrow Talisman, I can easily capture those mid-grade fish monsters again."

A muscular middle-aged man in a cloth shirt, with some muscles showing on his upper body, stood at the front desk and smiled.

Chen Qing, who was standing behind the front desk, took out a small stack of ice arrow talismans from behind the desk and handed them to the monk.

"Fellow Daoist Li, what you said is true. With your cultivation level, you can earn spirit stones anywhere. It has little to do with my talismans."

"There's no other way. The hunting team gives the most spirit stones. If I practice on my own, it will definitely be about the same. But Xiao Sheng also needs elixirs and other resources for practice."

Li Hulin smiled, took the talisman handed to him by Chen Qing, took out a small bag of spirit stones from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qing.

"Brother Jiang's talismans are still the best. Although the Ice Arrow Talisman is sold for three spirit stones like those sold in the market, its power is about 20% higher than those sold in the market shops."

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need for that. If your words get to the ears of those shopkeepers, they'll just come and smash my shop."

Chen Qing smiled.

"Haha, with Fellow Daoist Jiang's attainments in talismans, he can definitely be called the number one talisman master on Qiuye Island."

Li Hulin also responded with a smile and then walked out of the building.

After Li Hulin left, Chen Qing began to count the number of spirit stones he had obtained.

When he just put the talismans on the table for sale on this floor, Li Hulin was the first customer. He had just bought Chen Qing's talisman in the morning and came again in the afternoon. As for the reason, it was naturally because Chen Qing's ice arrow talisman was more powerful than the ice arrow talismans in the Qiuye Island market.

This was a surprise that Chen Qing had discovered when he was in the Maple Valley Market. However, when he was in Maple Valley, Chen Qing did not dare to reveal his identity. Every time he sold talismans, he would use a new face. Moreover, the ice arrow talismans were handed over to the store for purchase and mixed with the original ice arrow talismans in the store. Even if someone noticed the difference in the ice arrow talismans, they could not find Chen Qing based on it.

It is different now. Chen Qing has come to Qiuye Island. To the cultivators on the island, Chen Qing is just an outsider. Even if the talismans he draws are different from those in the market, they will not pay too much attention to him. After all, the talismans Chen Qing sells are all low-grade talismans like Ice Arrow Talisman and Fireball Talisman. Chen Qing does not even sell the mid-grade Golden Light Talisman. His purpose is to create the identity of an outsider, a low-grade talisman master. With this identity, Chen Qing can make some people with ulterior motives give up their ideas.

This is the unspoken rule in the world of immortal cultivation. Cultivators who possess the four arts of immortal cultivation will be treated preferentially by most cultivators. After all, ordinary cultivators need these cultivators to provide magical instruments, elixirs and other immortal cultivation resources.

If you let Jie Xiu kill these cultivators, who will sell you magic weapons and elixirs in the future?

It was precisely because of this that Chen Qing used his innate ability to develop the method of drawing the ice arrow talisman.

With the four arts of cultivating immortals, not only did Chen Qing's ability to earn spirit stones improve, but it also allowed him to escape from the lowest-level profession among cultivators, the spirit farmer, which also represented a change in his status.

It was afternoon. After seeing off the last monk who came to buy the talisman, Chen Qing went out to take a look. The Golden Crow had flown westward and disappeared, leaving behind the sunset glow that dyed the frosty sky.

Well, the sun has gone down and it’s time for me to close the shop.

Chen Qing adheres to the working hours of nine to five, opening the shop when the golden crow rises to the sky and closing it when it lands. This makes him experience the happiness he never felt in his previous life as a social animal.

In addition, since this is his own shop, he can set his own working hours, which makes Chen Qing feel even happier.

After closing the door on the first floor, Chen Qing went back upstairs along the stairs, passed through the door curtain, and lay directly on the bed. After enjoying himself for a while, Chen Qing got up, sat down to meditate, and began to practice.

His current cultivation level is still at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and due to the optimization of the Soul-Destroying Talisman, the magic power limit that was originally broken through has now completely disappeared, and he has to cultivate it back bit by bit by himself.

Thinking of this, the damned Zuo Ze's face appeared in Chen Qing's mind again, but Chen Qing was currently helpless against him.

Chen Qing got the information about Maple Valley Market after he left from a shop owner who specialized in selling intelligence in Qiuye Island Market. When he first looked at it, he was stunned, and then he felt lucky to have escaped a catastrophe. After all, Maple Valley Market had now become a ruin, and most of the cultivators had their souls taken away by Zuo Ze and other evil cultivators, and their spirits were refined into magic weapons. Only a few cultivators were able to escape.

Chen Qing could never have imagined that his neighbor Zuo Ze was actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the main force leading the demon cultivators to attack Fenglin Valley Market. Fortunately, he was not interested in him, otherwise Chen Qing would have to take control of the Hundred Souls Banner.

The most fortunate thing was that Zuo Ze used a spiritual weapon called the Hundred Souls Banner to seal most of his cultivation inside it. As a result, his spiritual consciousness was suppressed and could not be fully utilized. Therefore, when they were at the market town and the cliff, Zuo Ze was unable to see through Chen Qing's disguise, allowing Chen Qing to escape.

I just don't know whether that guy He Laodao is dead or alive. However, since He Laodao moved out of the yard, Chen Qing hasn't seen him in the market. He should have followed the monks of the Black Water Sect.

Without thinking any more, Chen Qing cut off all distracting thoughts and focused on his practice.
