Chapter 59 Background and Footwork(1/2)
Return to the inn.
Lu Changan sold the stolen goods for the last time and sold four magical artifacts for a recycling price of two hundred and dozens of spiritual stones.
Today I made three trips to sell stolen goods, and sold a total of six to seven hundred spirit stones. Although I lost some money, I did save a lot of trouble.
Lu Changan returned to his original appearance and checked out of the inn.
Pass by shops in the business district.
He paid attention to the raw materials of the second-level talismans.
The second-level talisman paper, spiritual ink, and talisman pen are based on the second-level monsters, corresponding to the foundation building stage, and are very scarce.
…
Daochang Guan's stall is located on this market street, and Lu Changan stopped by to take a look.
"Senior Brother Lu."
The girl with bright eyes and white teeth had just completed a transaction with a customer.
Seeing the quiet young man in white robe, Guan Qiaozhi's eyes lit up and she waved happily.
"Mr. Guan, how is business today?"
Lu Changan came to the stall and looked at the goods.
Talisman paper, spiritual ink, monster skins, talisman atlas, and middle- and low-grade talismans.
After Lu Changan came to Huanglong Fairy City, he took some care of Master Guan and his disciples.
He needed raw materials to draw talismans, so he simply used relatively cheap talismans and exchanged materials with Taoist Master Guan and his apprentices.
This benefits both parties.
Guan Daochang's stall sells many high-quality talismans. Although the profit itself is not high, it can expand the categories and improve the reputation.
In the past two years, the stall's revenue and profit have increased slightly.
For Lu Changan, it not only obtained the materials for drawing talismans, but also created more channels for selling talismans.
I have to say that Guan Qiaozhi is really ingenious. At such a young age, she is very good at making talisman paper, and she is also capable of making high-quality talisman paper.
"Thanks to Master Lu, the business is pretty good. In a few years, we will have a firm foothold in the inner city."
The wrinkles on Daochang Guan's face relaxed and he smiled happily.
Although Lu Changan recognized him as an immortal, Taoist Master Guan did not consider himself a senior and usually addressed himself as Lu Fu Master.
“Qiaozhi’s craftsmanship is really good.”
Lu Changan picked out a few high-quality talisman papers and was quite satisfied with them.
"Of course! I also helped the puppet master next door to process puppet parts. Master Sang also praised my skill and said that he would give me a puppet dog in the future."
Sixteen-year-old Guan Qiaozhi has exquisite and delicate facial features, pure and agile. When she talks about her pride, her eyebrows curve into a crescent shape.
In the past two years, she gradually forgot the fact that Lu Changan was older than her biological father.
I feel a sense of trust and closeness to this senior brother who came out halfway.
Lu Changan secretly regretted that Guan Qiaozhi's spiritual consciousness was mediocre, otherwise his talent for dexterity would make him a good choice whether he was drawing talismans or becoming a puppet master.
While the two were talking, three male cultivators came over menacingly.
"Old man Guan! Why are you setting up a stall here again?"
The monk in blue shirt who was leading the eighth level of Qi Refining said with a bad expression.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, there are no explicit regulations on the stall area of the market. We are not allowed to set up stalls here."
Taoist priest Guan had some scruples and a calm mind.
"The price of the talismans you sell is too low, which violates the regulations of the 'talisman alliance'. Either set up a stall further away, or the price must meet the quality."
The monk in blue shirt said dissatisfied.
"Old man Guan, I advise you to be more sensible. There are no explicit rules in the stall area, but there are unspoken rules here, and those who violate them will not have a good end."
"With your age, you can be a strong person, but you have to think about your female disciple."
The two men behind the blue-shirted monk gave verbal advice and explicit or implicit threats.
Seeing this scene, Lu Changan instantly understood the reason.
It's just that Taoist Master Guan's talismans are of high quality and low price, and his income has increased, which makes his colleagues unhappy.
The price of the talisman sold by Guan Daochang is actually normal, but the quality is slightly better. After all, it is the talisman refined by Lu Changan, and the quality is good and stable.
1. It does not violate the regulations of the market stall area.
Second, it will not affect the market order and is not considered a malicious price reduction.
The so-called "talisman alliance" mostly uses chicken feathers as command arrows.
In a Qi refining period, how much say can one have in the Talisman Master Alliance?
"Fellow Taoist, I would like to ask. In this market, which one is more powerful, your 'Fu Alliance' or the order of Huanglong Immortal City?"
Lu Changan said lukewarmly.
"Who are you?"
The monk in blue shirt frowned and looked at the young monk in front of him who was in the late stage of Qi refining.
They threatened the two Taoist priests mainly because they saw that they were weak and easy to bully.
Want to extort some benefits.
It was really hard for them to answer Lu Changan's question.
In Huanglong Immortal City, the biggest rule is naturally the number one casual cultivator in the Liang Kingdom, Huanglong Zhenren.
Master Huanglong is famous for his reputation. Not only is he in the middle stage of pill formation, but he also has a third-level earth dragon spirit beast that contains a trace of the blood of the ancient Huanglong.
"Fellow Taoist, what does this matter have to do with you?"
The three of them knew they were in the wrong and avoided Lu Changan's questioning.
"My surname is Lu, and I provide talismans for Guan Lao's stall. Do you think it has anything to do with it?"
Lu Changan said angrily.
The three of them looked stunned and looked at each other.
"May I ask, what level of Talisman Master is Mr. Lu Dao?"
The leading monk in blue shirt had a smile on his face and was much more polite.
"First-class top grade."
The expressions of the three of them changed slightly, and their aura became weaker.
"As a high-level Talisman Master, why didn't you join the Talisman Alliance? My teacher is a second-level Talisman Master of the Huanglong Immortal City Talisman League. I wonder where you are, Mr. Lu Dao?"
The monk in blue shirt said with twinkling eyes.
There were many stall owners and monks around to watch the fun, so he couldn't let his momentum weaken and use the title of second-level talisman master.
"I don't care what talisman alliance you have, you are a second-level talisman master. Lu's friend is a foundation-building monk in Jinyun Valley. If you continue to fool around and doubt your belief, go to the Jinyun Valley station to argue."
Lu Changan spoke forcefully and showed a token of Jinyun Valley.
"A foundation-building friend of Jinyun Valley?"
The three monks in blue shirts trembled in their hearts. They were so powerful that they dared to continue to entangle.
"Master Lu Fu, what happened today is just a misunderstanding. Let's make peace and make money."
The monk in blue shirt smiled sarcastically.
In fact, he was just lucky enough to listen to the public teachings of the second-level Talisman Master. To call him a teacher would be to put gold on his face.
The three of them said a few polite words and left angrily.
The stall owners around him cast surprised glances, not daring to look down on Master Guan and his disciples.
…
Lu Changan chased away the market bully with a few words.
Guan Qiaozhi's bright eyes shone like stars and she couldn't help but ask:
"Senior Brother Lu, do you really have a foundation-building friend from Jinyun Valley?"
Regarding this matter, Mr. Guan was skeptical.
He knew that the three monks in blue shirts were using the tiger's skin as a banner.
Lu Changan is probably the same.
After all, in the world of immortality, background and feet are very important.
In order to get along, low-level monks often like to exaggerate their background.
