Zongman: Cultivation System Hades

At first glance, these three stacks of yellow paper look almost identical, but upon closer inspection, you can still find some subtle differences.

"So what are the prices?"

Ye Yue picked up the yellow paper, looked at it carefully, and asked as she read.

"Low-quality yellow paper costs 100 yen a sheet, mid-quality yellow paper costs 10,000 yen a sheet, and high-quality yellow paper costs 1,000,000 yen a sheet."

The old man introduced slowly, "If you buy in bulk, more than 10,000 tickets, we can give you a 10% discount."

"What level of talismans can be drawn on high-quality yellow paper?"

Hearing the price, Ye Yue frowned slightly, marveling at the high price of the yellow paper.

However, he could also feel that the high-grade yellow paper was indeed extraordinary and should be able to withstand stronger force.

He was very curious about what kind of powerful talismans could be drawn on such expensive yellow paper.

"I'm not sure about that."

The old man shook his head at first, then seemed to remember something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"But I once heard that a powerful person on the mainland used high-grade yellow paper and dragon blood cinnabar to draw the Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman, and killed an immortal in one fell swoop."

"So powerful? In other words, this high-grade yellow paper can at least withstand A-level power?"

Ye Yue was shocked. Immortals are on the same level as the living gods in Japan, gods in Western mythology, and demon kings. To be able to kill immortals, the power of the talisman must be at least A-level.

This shows that the bearing capacity of this high-grade yellow paper cannot be underestimated.

"That should be the case, but it needs to be combined with high-grade cinnabar."

As the old man spoke, he took out three exquisite square boxes from the side and placed them on the counter.

Just from the appearance of the box, Ye Yue could tell that these three types of cinnabar were expensive and different from each other.

"Cinnabar, like yellow paper, is divided into three grades."

The old man continued, "However, cinnabar is more expensive than yellow paper. Low-grade cinnabar is 10,000 yen a box, mid-grade cinnabar is 1 million yen, and high-grade cinnabar is 10 million yen."

With the introduction of yellow paper as a prelude, the old man's introduction to cinnabar became much more concise.

"How many sheets are there in a stack of low-grade yellow paper?"

After understanding the basic situation of yellow paper and cinnabar, Ye Yue began to ask for more specific information.

"There are ten thousand in a stack. If a customer needs it, I'll hold it up for you right now."

Hearing Ye Yue's question, the old man also started talking with a smile.

Chapter 101: Ten billion!

"Then give me ten stacks of low-level ones, one stack each of medium and high-level ones!"

Ye Yue thought for a moment and said, "He was thinking that Kasumigaoka Shiyu had just come into contact with Yu Ji's talisman technique."

She is definitely not proficient at the moment, so it would be better to let her practice with low-level talisman paper first. Once she becomes proficient, it will not be too late to use medium and high-level talisman paper.

"Oh, and the same goes for cinnabar. Ten boxes of low-grade, and one box each of mid-range and high-range!"

Then he pointed to the cinnabar placed next to him and added.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The old man still had a warm smile on his face, and he didn't show any sign of abnormality because Ye Yue bought a large quantity.

Ye Yue didn't take it to heart.

After all, they specialize in doing business with extraordinary people. The amount of this transaction is less than 20 billion yen, which is really nothing compared to those big deals that are often settled in US dollars.

"Um...Ye Yue-kun, is it possible that we don't have to buy the high-grade yellow paper yet?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was standing behind Ye Yue, listened carefully to the old man's introduction throughout the whole process. She knew in her heart that Ye Yue's words would mean a huge expense.

She hesitantly tugged at Ye Yue's sleeve and asked cautiously.

"It's okay. Just treat the high-grade yellow paper and cinnabar as reserve supplies. Once your strength improves, you can maximize their value."

"With your current strength, using low-level ones is enough."

Ye Yue looked back at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and seeing her distressed look, she couldn't help but chuckle and explained patiently.

After saying that, Ye Yue seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to look at the old man who was packing yellow paper and cinnabar, and asked.

"Boss, if we make the talisman paper ourselves, would you accept it?"

"Of course! As long as the quality of the talisman paper you make is good, we will definitely accept it, and we guarantee to give you a fair price!"

Upon hearing this, the old man not only did not hesitate at all, but nodded with a smile, and then pointed to a shelf not far away, indicating that they should go and have a look.

Ye Yue and the other girls curiously followed the direction the old man pointed, and sure enough, they saw some talismans on the shelf.

There was no need for the old man to come over and introduce them, because there was a small sign under each talisman, which clearly stated the function and price of the talisman.

"so expensive!"

When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw that the price tag of a Fire Talisman was as high as one million yen, her eyes lit up.

She knew that this Thunder and Fire Talisman was only a low-level talisman in "Yu Ji's Complete Collection of Talismans".

In other words, as long as she thoroughly studied this talisman, she could sell one of them for one million yen? This made her both surprised and excited.

"Boss, what's the discount rate for buying back talismans here?" Ye Yue also turned around and asked the old man.

"30% off."

The old man gave the answer directly without any nonsense.

"A single Fire Talisman can fetch 700,000 yen, which is pretty good."

After hearing this, Ye Yue did not think the price given by the old man was unreasonable.

After all, people who recycle talismans have to take risks, so it is natural to let them make some money.

"When you go back, you have to work hard."

"If I can successfully paint on those ten stacks of low-grade yellow paper, I can earn back many times the money I spent on the yellow paper and cinnabar!"

Ye Yue looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was looking at the talisman paper with a look of surprise on her face, and encouraged her with a smile.

"Yes! I will definitely work hard!"

After hearing what Ye Yue said, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes were full of determination, and she promised seriously.

"By the way, boss, do you have any medicinal herbs for sale here?"

Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha's serious expression, Ye Yue suddenly remembered that she not only knew the art of talismans, but also the art of alchemy, so she looked at the old man again and asked.

"No. If you need extraordinary medicinal herbs, you can purchase them on the Chaofan app."

"The storage conditions for extraordinary medicinal materials are quite complicated and troublesome, so generally few people engage in the medicinal material business."

When the old man heard Ye Yue's question, he shook his head helplessly and said.

"Okay... since there are no extraordinary herbs, what about ordinary herbs?"

Ye Yue was not too disappointed when she learned that there were no extraordinary medicinal herbs for sale.

After all, he had some understanding of the medicinal materials industry before and knew that there were many people selling fakes. Even among those who sold genuine products, few would sell extraordinary medicinal materials.

Just as the old man said, the preservation and cultivation conditions of extraordinary medicinal materials are too harsh, and it is not cost-effective to do this business, so he didn't have high expectations for it.

He just thought that in the alchemy skills that Kasumigaoka Utaha knew, many pills only required ordinary medicinal materials, so he might get something by asking.

"You can buy ordinary medicinal herbs at other Chinese medicine stores. I don't have them here." The old man replied with a smile.

"Okay...it seems I have to go to the Chinese medicine store later." Ye Yue nodded helplessly.

"Do you have anything you like?" Ye Yue then looked at the girls traveling with her and asked.

Hearing Ye Yue's question, everyone shook their heads.

After walking around the store, they deeply felt the expensiveness of extraordinary items.

With the little money they had, they couldn't buy anything here.

Perhaps only Suzuki Sonoko, the daughter of the Suzuki family, can ignore the prices of some of the things here.

But even so, when faced with some extraordinary items, even Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but be amazed.

For example, an enchanted pistol is priced at 10 billion US dollars. Note that it is US dollars, not Japanese yen.

If it were Japanese yen, Suzuki Sonoko might have bought it directly, but since it was US dollars, she could only look on and hesitate.

"Sir, everything has been packed. The total is 10,121,110,000 yen."

Seeing that none of the girls wanted to buy anything, Ye Yue returned to the front desk.

At this time, the old man had packed the yellow paper and cinnabar and put them in a very exquisite wooden box with some beautiful patterns carved on it. Ye Yue could tell at a glance that this box was unusual.

"No problem, swipe the card."

"By the way, boss, what's the use of this box?"

As Ye Yue said this, she handed the card to the old man and pointed at the box curiously.

"This box is used to preserve the spirituality of the object and prevent it from dissipating."

"Of course, this is just a gift, so the effect won't be particularly strong, but I guarantee that the yellow paper and cinnabar inside will retain their effectiveness for a hundred years."

The old man smiled and explained patiently.

"Oh...thank you so much!"

Being able to guarantee that the effect will not diminish for a hundred years is already very good. Ye Yue smiled with satisfaction and thanked the old man.

"You're welcome. If you need anything in the future, you're welcome to come and take care of my business!" The old man said with a smile.

"We'll definitely come back if you need us! Bye then!"

Ye Yue took back the credit card, picked up the box and handed it to Kasumigaoka Utaha who was standing beside her. Then she waved to the old man and turned around and left the Antique Shop with everyone.

Looking at the backs of Ye Yue and others as they left, the old man shook his head thoughtfully.

....................................

"Tsk tsk... I spent over 10 billion yen on this trip. I think I'd better come here less often in the future!"

On the way back to Shizuka Hiratsuka's car.

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the box in Kasumigaoka Utaha's hand. The things inside were worth more than 10 billion yen.

If I tell this to others, I guess no one will believe it.

But the facts were right in front of her, making her sigh that this world was really crazy.

"It's normal for things in the extraordinary world to be more expensive."

"And if you think about it carefully, these talisman papers and cinnabar are not particularly expensive."

"There are ten thousand pieces of talisman paper in a stack, and I've seen a box of cinnabar. Drawing a few thousand pieces of talisman paper will definitely be no problem."

"If Shiyu can successfully draw all 10,000 pieces of talisman paper and sell them, she can make a lot of money!"

When Ye Yue heard what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, she smiled gently and explained patiently.

In Ye Yue's opinion, it is not difficult for extraordinary people to make money.

Not to mention the common ways of making money such as exorcism, the profit from talisman paper alone is quite considerable.

He still remembered the house-warding talisman he had seen at the Suzuki family before. If Kasumigaoka Utaha could also draw a similar house-warding talisman and sell it to those rich people, the price would definitely not be low.

In addition, there are healing talismans and disease-eliminating talismans. Which rich person would not want them?

So, although more than 10 billion yen has been spent now, Kasumigaoka Utaha will definitely earn it back in the future, and the amount will be far more than that.

"Uh...it seems to be true!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka thought of the cabinet of talismans in the store. The prices of many of them even shocked her.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha can really draw those talismans in the future, then she will become a walking money-printing machine!
