I save spiritual roots for the next life

Thinking of continuing to book residence reports, Li Jizhou had to take another look at his financial resources.

After seven and a half years in Xuanxuan Mountain, apart from daily expenses, studying talismans and seals, practicing medicine, and replenishing his card library, he only accumulated 300 spirit stones in the end.

The main reason is that the skills of talisman seal writing in the early stage are low, the success rate is low, the quality of talisman seal writing is poor, and the profit is low. However, I have not treated myself badly in terms of cultivation resources. There is no shortage of spiritual rice and spiritual meat. In the past few years, almost all of them were from the Moonlight Clan. Save up spiritual stones.

The real profit started to come mainly in the next two years, especially after joining Wanfu Pavilion. I was already a first-level intermediate talisman master at that time, and my success rate increased. In addition, with the benefits of Wanfu Pavilion's guests, the recycling price increased by 10%, and the profit was high. A lot.

In addition, at that time, he was in a chaotic place like Xuanxuan Mountain, so he had accumulated a lot of trump cards. Now he has thirty trump cards in his storage bag, including thirty first-level high-level talisman seals and more than thirty intermediate-level exquisite ones. There are more than fifty soul-eating incense talismans and seals, with a total value of more than one hundred spirit stones.

All in all, in the last two years in Xuanxuan Mountain, the actual monthly income was close to thirty spirit stones. The spiritual rice and flesh cost about eight spirit stones. The ink is within fifty ounces of spiritual sand.

The monthly surplus is around twenty spirit stones.

Now when I come to Lingzhu Shanfang City, the rent is 20 spirit stones per month. The price of daily necessities such as spirit rice, spirit meat, and food has doubled, and I still need about 20 spirit stones to maintain the energy of the guardian array. Fifty taels of spiritual sand per month, plus the Di newspaper...

To be conservative, I can't earn more than 45 spirit stones per month, which is unsustainable!

If you still rely on making and selling talismans as you did in Daoxuan Mountain, you can only sell mid-level and high-grade talismans, which is completely insufficient.

Now he spent three hundred spirit stones to rent a house, and sixty spirit stones were set up, leaving only two hundred and twenty-three.

Fortunately, the storage bags of the three tribulation cultivators yielded a hundred spiritual stones, and the eight receptionists totaled thirty spiritual stones.

There are three hundred and fifty-three spiritual stones in total, which is his entire net worth.

Life is never easy!

If I hadn't inherited the memory of a second-level alchemy master from my previous life, and had already practiced Yanlu Jue to condense a trace of alchemy fire, and could guarantee that I could earn more spiritual stones by refining alchemy within a year than the talisman seals, how could I dare to live in such a private courtyard? ah.

If it's other casual cultivators who have just arrived, I'm afraid they can only live in a small attic in the outer area of ​​​​Fang City, and have simple meals and little food. They are in a tight situation, so they have to save money!

After knowing what he was doing, Li Jizhou abandoned his distracting thoughts and began to practice.

Three months passed by in a hurry.

Dong dong dong~

On this day, Li Jizhou had just finished his work and withdrew a wisp of light blue flame from his palm, when there was a knock on the door outside the hospital.

Scanning his consciousness, he saw a middle-aged man wearing the robe of a deacon of Wanfu Pavilion standing quietly in front of the door, his attitude seemed very respectful.

Li Jizhou was slightly suspicious.

When he came to Lingzhushanfang City, he did not go to the Wanfu Pavilion branch to show up first. He only waited until March when he needed to deliver the guest mission for this year.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually came to the door.

Open the door to welcome guests.

The deacon of Lingzhushan branch has seen Li Keqing! When the deacon saw the door open, he immediately cupped his hands and clasped his fists.

You're welcome, fellow Taoist. Li Jizhou nodded in return.

I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd like to invite Haihan. It's just that our shopkeeper Qi had a drink with the manager of the city yesterday and accidentally heard about Li Keqing renting a house here. According to the rules, when you come here, our branch office should take care of you.

So shopkeeper Qi asked me to deliver the invitation today! The deacon spoke concisely and comprehensively, answering all Li Jizhou's questions in a few sentences.

Thank you, fellow Taoist! Li Jizhou took the invitation and handed over an intermediate and low-grade talisman seal.

You're welcome, Li Keqing. The deacon took the talisman and his face became even more joyful.

Then he took a step forward and reminded in a low voice: Li Keqing may have been too focused on making talismans, or maybe the previous Taoist friends in the branch did not inform some of the rules. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary for third-class guest guests to settle in a place with a branch. Give priority to reporting to the local branch office. After all, once you settle here, all the tasks delivered by guests in the future will be assessed by the local branch boss.

When Li Jizhou heard this, he looked calm on the surface, but he already understood in his heart.

Thank you fellow Taoist for the tip!

He really didn't know this rule.

It must be that when he was at Daoxuan Mountain before, Lu Zhenhua didn't expect Li Jizhou to leave Daoxuan Mountain, so he didn't have time to say anything.

Looking at the cryptic reminder from the deacon, Shopkeeper Qi of this branch might be a little unhappy.

Smiling and shaking his head, Li Jizhou didn't pay much attention.

He didn't care about this status as a guest, which was coveted in the eyes of others.

After all, the main source of earning spiritual stones in the future will be Alchemy.

Farewell Deacon Li Jizhou once again felt the elixir fire in his palm.

It's barely reached the level of low-grade pill fire!

With my alchemy skills and precise control of temperature, time, proportions, etc., even if I only have low-grade elixir fire, it should be no problem to refine a first-class elementary elixir!

There are some differences between elixirs and talismans.

Low-level talisman seals, like the first-level primary talisman seals that Li Jizhou originally drew, no matter how high the quality is, the power and effect are limited by the level, the value is low, and you can't earn many spiritual stones.

But the elixir is different.

The function of talisman and seal script lies in its power.

The role of elixirs is to assist in cultivation.

In the early stage of Qi training, low-level monks like this are always the largest group, accounting for 80% of the entire practice world.

Their use of talismans can barely activate intermediate talismans, so the demand for first-level primary talismans is not strong. In addition, in the early stages of Qi training, most monks still focus on increasing their cultivation level. For talismans that cannot increase their cultivation level, Seal script, the demand is very small.

And pills are what they desire most.

When they are at the bottom, they all hope to get over the stage as soon as possible where everyone calls them senior.

In addition, there is a saying that has been circulating in the spiritual world: The path to immortality is expensive!

The sooner you break through the big realm, the further you can go.

If you build the foundation before the age of thirty, you can expect a Nascent Soul.

Build the foundation before the age of fifty, and there is hope for the elixir to be formed.

The foundation is only built at the age of seventy, and the path to immortality ends here.

Therefore, young people who are new to Qi training are eager to take drugs every day to help them practice.

Some primary elixirs, such as Qi Condensing Pill, Qi Replenishing Pill, Blood Transformation Pill, etc., which increase the speed of practice, are very expensive, more than ten times more expensive than Talisman Seals of the same level.

This refers to those that are of medium quality, have slight erysipelas, and have a certain degree of drug resistance, and it takes a certain amount of time to digest after taking one.

If it is a top-grade, even high-quality, top-grade elixir that does not contain erysipelas and has very little drug resistance, the price will be more than a hundred times higher.

The alchemy fire is barely enough, and here is the alchemy furnace!

The alchemy furnace I borrowed from Pharmacist Zheng could only be regarded as a medicine furnace. It was good for brewing medicinal materials, but not for actually making elixirs.

The alchemy furnace has a great influence on the quality of the alchemy.

Especially if you want to refine high-quality elixirs, the elixir furnace must be of very high quality.

Another point is medicinal materials,

Because the demand for elixirs is high and profits are high, the prices of medicinal materials are also very high. This is one of the reasons why Li Jizhou did not choose the elixir path at the first time when he was in Daixuan Mountain.

But these are not problems now.

Although medicinal materials are expensive, there is still room for profit after all.

And since he can refine high-grade elixirs and above, he can also guarantee a certain rate of elixir success, and the profits will only be higher.
