Elixirs cannot be sold.
What’s left for trade are cultivation methods, which are restricted by the Dao Heart, and formations, which are too high-end and are usually purchased by large companies as a whole set.
As for magical instruments, he didn’t have enough start-up capital.
So, the only thing left was “talisman”.
The Immortal Gate’s development of talismans can be said to be at its peak, applying them to all aspects of society. Many people within the Immortal Gate, in order to focus on cultivation, would not distract themselves by practicing minor life spells such as cleaning spells or disease removal spells.
And talismans are the solidification of spells.
The talisman factory where Chen Mobai’s mother worked, its biggest annual income was from the “Flying Talisman”.
Flying is every human’s dream, but Qi Refining cultivators cannot master the flying spell, so this talisman became the most purchased product.
In the Immortal Gate, life talismans like flying talismans, cleaning talismans, and guiding talismans are the best business.
On the other hand, talismans like the Wood Armor Talisman and Green Arrow Talisman that Chen Mobai always bought were unpopular products because there was little conflict within the Immortal Gate.
Because of the low demand, the price never went up.
But it was different in the Tianhe Realm.
Talismans like guiding talismans and cleaning talismans, which couldn’t be used in battle, were all considered trash.
The business opportunity that Chen Mobai saw was this.
He swept up all the stock in the Wood Spirit Talisman Shop he had previously bought from. The shop owner seemed to be a talisman maker who specialized in wood. The shop had first-grade lower-level talismans like the Deadly Poison Talisman, Entangling Talisman, Wood Shield Talisman, Wood Prison Talisman, and Detoxification Talisman, all priced at 15 Good Deeds each.
Before Chen Mobai got the opportunity with the turtle shell, he made pocket money by cutting talisman paper. A dozen cut small talisman papers, which were the raw materials for these first-grade lower-level talismans, could only be sold for 2 Good Deeds.
However, this couldn’t be said to be the shopkeeper’s greed. After all, the main consumption of talismans was “ink”. Different talismans required different ink dyes, which needed to be mixed. The process was very complicated. If one was not careful, they might have to start all over again.
Of course, the ink needed for middle and low-grade talismans could basically be produced on a factory assembly line, but the ink for high-grade talismans still needed to be mixed by the talisman makers themselves.
For this reason, the lowest price for a first-grade upper-level talisman had soared to 500 Good Deeds each.
Chen Mobai looked at the only four talismans in the shop.
Revival Talisman, Wood House Talisman, Wood Spirit Talisman, and All Grass and Trees are Soldiers Talisman.
Among them, the “Revival Talisman” was like an upgraded version of the Spirit Water, which could restore consumed spiritual power and remove all negative conditions from the body, returning it to its peak state in a very short time. It was priced at 500 Good Deeds each.
The “Wood House Talisman” was the best-selling life talisman. When used during a spring outing, a wooden house that could be lived in would appear instantly.
It could also be customized into a one-room, one-room and one-living room, two-room and one-living room, three-room and one-living room, and even with a large courtyard according to the needs during the making of the talisman. The price was customized according to the needs, starting from 1000 Good Deeds for a one-room.
Chen Mobai had never heard of the “Wood Spirit Talisman”. He read the introduction and couldn’t help but marvel.
After using it, the wearer could experience the cultivation speed of a wood spiritual root during cultivation. However, it was a pity that the effect only lasted for an hour, and the price of the talisman had soared to 5000 Good Deeds.
The last All Grass and Trees are Soldiers Talisman was the only attack talisman, but the price was lower, only 3000 Good Deeds.
In addition to these four first-grade upper-level talismans, there was also a second-grade lower-level talisman, the treasure of the shop.
Yimu Divine Thunder Talisman.
It was also an attack talisman, but the price was lower, only 50,000 Good Deeds.
In the Nanxi Market, Chen Mobai had asked about the price of this kind of talisman, and it basically started at fifty spirit stones.
He wanted to buy a Wood House Talisman and build a barren mountain in the Tianhe Realm into his second base outside of the Water Mansion, but the price of the Wood House Talisman was too high, so he had to give up for now.
Chen Mobai bought 20 of each of the five first-grade lower-level talismans, and finally bought one Revival Talisman, which cost a total of 2000 Good Deeds.
Seeing the rapidly decreasing balance in his card, he felt a different kind of satisfaction after spending money.
These things could be resold in the Tianhe Realm, basically at a tenfold profit rate.
With dreams of making a fortune, it took Chen Mobai a long time to calm his mind and cultivate his spirit.
The next day.
After returning from school, Chen Mobai first went to the Evergreen Pharmacy. All the medicinal materials were ready, and Qing Nv began to show her skills.
He didn’t disturb her much and left immediately.
Since the talismans were purchased online, it would take some time for them to be delivered to his home. So, today, Chen Mobai could only do some preliminary preparations for setting up a stall.
At the same time, he took the opportunity to deal with all the junk on him.
Nanxi Market.
This time he didn’t see the Liu-named young man in hemp clothes, he must have gotten a job. But the other young guide from last time was there. He brightened up when he saw Chen Mobai, but seemed to remember something and didn’t dare to come over.
But Chen Mobai needed his help and waved at him.
“Senior, you’re looking for me.”
With a nervous heart, Qi Er came over and first saluted Chen Mobai.
“I have some things I want to sell, but they’re a bit of a mixed bag. Setting up a stall would be too slow. Do you have any channels?”
“Do you want it to be fast, senior, or slow?”
“What do you mean by fast, and what do you mean by slow?”Chen Mobai’s interest was piqued, and he continued to ask.
“If you want to sell quickly, naturally, you should sell directly to the twenty-six shops in Nanxi Market. As long as there’s no issue with the origin of the goods, they won’t turn anyone away. If you’re not in a hurry, you can consign them to the stalls. The stall owners will give you half of the spirit stones based on the value of the goods. The remaining half will be settled after they sell the consigned goods and take a 10% commission.”
The so-called stall owners were the most reputable among those who set up stalls in Nanxi Market.
In reality, these people were also disciples of the six major forces, which facilitated their control over the entire Nanxi Market.
Qi Er explained these details to Chen Mobai.
“Which are the six major forces?”
If it were before, Chen Mobai would definitely not ask such a common-sense question. But the last time he came, he already knew that there were often cultivators from other countries in this market, pretending to be foreigners so as not to attract attention.
“Our Yun Country has four local Foundation Establishment families. You might not be familiar with them, but you must know about the Five Elements Sect and the Divine Wood Sect.”
Chen Mobai did know. They were mentioned in the introduction to the major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. Both were one of the seven major sects. The Divine Wood Sect had split from the Five Elements Sect, and disciples from the two sects would usually fight when they met.
“Good, I’ll give you this short knife. I have a Qi Refining technique and a few bottles of elixirs that I need to deal with. There’s definitely no issue with their origins. Do you think those big shops will accept them?”
Qi Er took the short knife that Chen Mobai handed over, his eyes slightly brightening. Although this item wasn’t worth ten taels of gold, if he could help this senior complete the deal, the latter might be pleased and give him more rewards. Therefore, he began to help with full enthusiasm.
