79: Terrifying earning power

The next day.

Cultivation Chamber.

The Liu residence did not have a dedicated room for Talisman Drawing, so Liu Xuan drew Talismans directly in the Cultivation Chamber; since he would not fail, it was the same wherever he drew them.

An ancient scroll was spread out, with dense Talisman lines appearing before Liu Xuan's eyes, accompanied by textual explanations on the side.

Besides this, there was a book three fingers thick, with the cover reading: "ice blue soul-stabbing talisman Essentials."

Liu Xuan carefully studied the diagrams and soon understood why this Talisman was difficult to draw.

The ice blue soul-stabbing talisman reached up to First Grade Peak, consisting of thirteen, thirty-three, sixty-six, and ninety-nine basic Talismans respectively.

Even for the lowest level, the First Grade Low Grade, the basic runes included three of the most difficult Soul-type runes.

Among the three thousand basic runes, the Five Elements runes were the simplest and most fundamental, followed by derivative runes like Lightning, Yin and Yang, Karma, Life and Death, etc. The most difficult were the three types: Soul, Time, and Space, which many Second Grade or even Third Grade Talisman masters would not even touch.

'A mere First Grade Talisman requires drawing Soul-type runes; no wonder so few people can draw it.'

After reading, Liu Xuan closed his eyes and began to rehearse the entire Talisman Drawing process in his mind.

"It seems..."

"It seems like there's no difficulty at all!"

Liu Xuan discovered that he could learn any basic rune at a glance; he didn't understand the essence, but he just knew how to draw it!

Whether it would actually succeed, he would know after trying!

He spread out a First Grade Low Grade Ice Blue Talisman paper, dipped his brush in Talisman ink, and his pen moved like a dragon or snake; one rune nested within another, and he quickly drew the complex patterns.

"Hum!"

The rune patterns flashed with a trace of gray light, and the cold sensation of the entire Talisman vanished, turning warm and moist instead.

A First Grade Low Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talisman, succeeded!

"It's quite simple!"

Liu Xuan felt it wasn't difficult at all; it was just a little bit harder than the most basic Arrow Talisman!

Continue! Increase the difficulty.

This time, Liu Xuan took out a First Grade Medium Grade Talisman paper and began to draw a First Grade Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talisman.

Two quarters of an hour later.

It went smoothly without any surprises, and the First Grade Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talisman was successfully drawn.

He hit the jackpot again!

One bottle of First Grade Medium Grade Ice Blue Talisman ink cost eighty Spirit Stones, and a stack of First Grade Medium Grade Ice Blue Talisman paper cost sixty Spirit Stones; the total price was one hundred and forty Spirit Stones, which could draw one hundred Talismans, equating to a cost of one point four Spirit Stones per Talisman.

The cost was half a Spirit Stone more than the 0.9 Spirit Stone First Grade Medium Grade Arrow Talisman, but the price was more than double its value, at ten Spirit Stones per piece, approaching that of an ordinary First Grade High Grade Talisman!

Liu Xuan calculated that he could draw ten Talismans a day without issue, or eleven or twelve if he pushed himself; if the sales were not a problem, he could truly achieve a daily income of one hundred Spirit Stones, equivalent to a daily income of one million!!

According to Liu Xuan's understanding, First Grade High Grade or even First Grade Peak Talisman masters within the Sect did not earn this much.

After all, they had to consider the success rate, which increased costs, and they still had to repay the Sect's cultivation expenses from when they were learning.

Talisman masters within the Sect were not all as carefree as Liu Xuan; they had to bear high learning costs.

When learning Talismans above their own level, it was basically pure money-burning, which an individual simply could not afford.

Once a large amount of resources had been consumed for learning without success, that money was effectively thrown down the drain.

The Sect also faced risks when cultivating Talisman masters; to gain the Sect's support, many Talisman masters signed contracts equivalent to semi-indentured servitude, lacking the freedom Liu Xuan had.

Liu Xuan had been drawing Talismans for a year and a half, and at most, he had only received one hundred Spirit Stones worth of Talisman Drawing resources from Lin Tianyue; his learning costs were almost zero, so naturally, he was different from the other Talisman masters in the Sect.

'A First Grade Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talisman costs ten Spirit Stones each, a First Grade High Grade costs thirty, and a First Grade Peak one is as high as fifty Spirit Stones!'

Once Liu Xuan's cultivation improved and he could draw higher-level Talismans, this earning ability could continue to rise!

Liu Xuan calmed his excited mood; this matter was not as simple as he imagined. The Ice Blue Valley Bai family's Materials were not unlimited, and the higher the grade of Materials, the fewer there were; Materials for higher Realms were not so easy to obtain.

Besides this, there would also be costs for selling the Talismans, and the profit he personally received would be reduced by a portion.

"Yuwan, come in for a moment!" Liu Xuan instructed towards outside the room.

Wang Yuwan pushed the door open and entered, "Young Master, what are your instructions?"

"Go tell the shopkeeper of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to keep all the Ice Blue Talisman Materials sent by the Bai family, and record them on my personal account according to the Dual Cultivation Hall's acquisition price."

Liu Xuan was currently only the Pavilion Master of the Yongning Hundred Treasures Pavilion, but the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was an industry of the Sect and not something he could decide alone; a portion of the profits had to be distributed, and he could not keep it all for himself.

Doing things according to the rules could save a lot of trouble; although Liu Xuan was greedy, he only earned profits within a reasonable range.

"Yes!"

Wang Yuwan waited for a while, and seeing that Liu Xuan had no other instructions, she retreated from the room.

Liu Xuan focused on drawing Talismans, and after finishing nine First Grade Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talismans, he felt mentally exhausted and finally stopped.

Putting the Talismans into his Storage Pouch, Liu Xuan did not intend to sell them in the short term; instead, he would keep them first and would only sell them after at least a month.

He had just obtained the diagrams and immediately drew the Talismans; this was too exaggerated!

Although no one could do anything to him, it did not fit Liu Xuan's low-profile style.

...

A month later.

The Vast Gathering Pavilion's Talisman sales area listed ten First Grade Medium Grade ice blue soul-stabbing talismans for sale, priced at nine Spirit Stones each.

He did not explain the origin of the Talismans, nor did he specifically promote them; Liu Xuan was not in a rush to sell them.

There were many Cultivators in Yongning City with complex origins; by lowering the selling price by one Spirit Stone, he believed the news would spread quickly.

Good goods never lacked buyers; once those who truly needed them came knocking, he would raise the price back up.

The ice blue soul-stabbing talisman was equivalent to a monopoly business; Liu Xuan just needed to hoard stock and didn't need to worry about sales channels.

Liu Xuan was resting today and only drew five Talismans before stopping, because Wang Yuwan was about to give birth!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the fifteenth offspring; obtained Spirit Stones * 100]

It was another offspring without Spiritual Roots; the probability of an ordinary woman giving birth to an offspring with Spiritual Roots was less than one-tenth, which was indeed too low!

The little fifteenth was a boy, and Liu Xuan named him Liu Dao'an.

Five days later.

Luo Ruoyan also gave birth!

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for the birth of the sixteenth offspring; obtained one bottle of First Grade Medium Grade Medicinal Pill, Feeding Pill.]

[Feeding Pill: A type of Medicinal Pill refined from monster beast flesh and blood, containing Demonic Qi and vitality, used for cultivating combat-type Spirit Beasts.]

A Medicinal Pill for cultivating Yao Beasts, what use was this?

'Wait!'

Just as Liu Xuan intended to throw it to the Vast Gathering Pavilion to sell, he suddenly thought, his Physical Body was comparable to a Yao Beast, could he eat it himself?

Putting this matter aside for now, Liu Xuan entered the room to see his sixteenth child.

She also had no Spiritual Roots and was a girl; Liu Xuan named her: Liu Lingyu.

Several children in a row had no Spiritual Roots, and Liu Xuan made up his mind to try his best to take in maids with Spiritual Roots in the future!

If it weren't for the achievement rewards for the number of offspring, Liu Xuan wouldn't even want those maids in the residence who were not pregnant!

Wang Yuwan and Luo Ruoyan gave birth one after another, and three more maids in the residence were pregnant; counting them up, the number of pregnant people had actually increased by one...
