The ancestor of talismans

Xu Changshou changed his mind and decided to buy some incomplete leather. For fur, the most important requirement is completeness.

Many vestments require a piece of leather.

If it is incomplete or partially damaged, a complete vestment cannot be made and only assembled vestments can be made. Assembled vestments are much cheaper.

For Xu Changshou, it doesn’t matter whether the piece is incomplete or not. He will cut it into pieces even if he buys a whole piece.

"You have to make sure you get something incomplete."

"Yes, bring a few more."

"Hold on!"

Shopkeeper Ji left the reception room and quickly returned. He took out a storage bag and threw it to Xu Changshou.

"These are all broken skins. You can choose them yourself."

"good!"

Xu Changshou opened the storage bag and took a look inside.

Then open the storage bag with the mouth facing downward and pour out everything inside.

There were more than ten pieces of skin, some were rotten in the middle, some were cracked in the middle, some had only more than half left, and some had less than half left.

As the saying goes, wind follows the dragon and clouds follow the tiger; these ten or so skins are all the skins of demon cultivators, mostly the skins of tiger demons, leopard demons and wolf demons.

Xu Changshou looked at them and picked out two relatively complete and larger leathers, then looked at Shopkeeper Ji: "Shopkeeper Ji, how much do you sell this kind of incomplete leather for?"

"Forehead……"

Shopkeeper Ji hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Usually it's 30% off the normal price. Since you're sincere, I'll give you 40% off."

"40% off..."

Xu Changshou frowned slightly, but he was very happy in his heart.

In his hands, these skins, compared with complete skins, were at most divided into a few fewer talismans, but the price was much cheaper.

For example, the skin of a tiger demon costs 18,000 yuan each, and with a 40% discount it can be bought for just over 10,000 yuan.

However, this kind of damaged leather is not easy to sell. Xu Changshou thinks the price can be lowered.

So he smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Ji, I'll take two more. How about you give me a 50% discount? 60% is too expensive. Yours are incomplete."

"50% off... We'll lose money if we get 50% off, forget it, give it to a friend and I'll give you 50% off."

"Okay, thank you!"

Xu Changshou bowed and picked up another leopard monster skin and a smaller wolf monster skin.

These two pieces of skin were smaller than the previous two. Xu Changshou was running out of money and didn't dare to pick one that was too big.

"Have you chosen?"

"Okay, how much will you give me?"

"The tiger skins are all 18,000 each. These two tiger skins are 18,000 for you. The leopard skin is 16,000, so 8,000 for you. The wolf skin is 12,000, so 6,000 for you. The total is 32,000 spirit stones."

"good!"

Xu Changshou nodded and readily sorted out 32,000 spirit stones.

After collecting the leather, Xu Changshou left the fur shop.

Taking a look at his storage bag, Xu Changshou's heart was filled with bitterness.

At this time, he only had more than 5,000 spirit stones left.

Wealth reached its lowest point.

However, Xu Changshou was not in a hurry and bought what he needed.

The Yuanling Pills are enough to last for two years. I don’t have to buy any pills in these two years and can save some money.

After returning to his residence, Xu Changshou started to cut the leather without saying a word.

All four pieces of skin were cut into the size of talismans, and in the end, four hundred and eight pieces of skin were obtained.

Assuming there are 400 tickets, each worth 900 medium-grade spirit stones. If all are sold, Xu Changshou can earn 360,000.

The cost price was close to ten to one, so I made a lot of money.

It is still more cost-effective to buy damaged leather.

Two years later, Xu Changshou had finished all the pills, but by then, he had already sold three hundred Tuanfeng Talismans.

Adding the money earned from hard labor in the past two years, his wealth has accumulated to 310,000.

He left ten thousand yuan and used the remaining three hundred thousand yuan to buy three hundred Yuanling Pills.

Four years later, the Yuanling Pills were used up again. At this time, Xu Changshou had eaten 560 Yuanling Pills. At the same time, his wealth accumulated to 500,000.

He needed a total of one thousand Yuanling Pills to cultivate from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul to the late stage of the Nascent Soul. Xu Changshou calculated and bought another 4,400 Yuanling Pills, spending 440,000.

There were only 60,000 mid-grade spirit stones left, and all the money was gone again. Fortunately, Xu Changshou finally managed to collect enough pills.

Although all the money I earned has been spent over the years, it has been converted into cultivation.

Another five or six years passed.

Xu Changshou's cultivation reached a bottleneck, and at the same time, his wealth accumulated to 600,000.

But he failed to break through and was stuck in that realm.

"Go sell the Enlightenment Pills."

On the day off, Xu Changshou went to the inner city to buy the Enlightenment Pill, and then came back to find Li Ziyao.

"Senior Sister Li, I need to ask for leave."

"Ask for leave?"

Glancing at Xu Changshou, Li Ziyao was a little surprised. They had been taking over the Three Thousand Miles project for twelve years. During these twelve years, Xu Changshou had never asked for leave and had been fully present every month.

I can’t believe that such a hardworking person would suddenly ask for leave.

"I'm about to break through, so I need to ask for leave." Xu Changshou said with a smile.

"So you're about to make a breakthrough. I'll give you a month off."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Li."

The laborers working here have no holidays, only days off. If they want to break through, they can ask for leave at any time.

It is most important for a cultivator to break through the realm, and any request for leave must be approved.

…

After leaving Li Ziyao's dojo, Xu Changshou went directly into the city.

If he wanted to break through, he had to find a safe place, and his original residence definitely wouldn't work.

The original residence didn’t even have a decent protective formation. It would be troublesome if my practice was interrupted by someone.

Xu Changshou did not return to his own temple either. It was too far away and a lot of time would be wasted going back and forth.

In the inner city, there is a place specifically for monks to break through, which is the post station.

The largest post station in the city is called Feilong Post Station. It is very expensive, costing one hundred medium-grade spirit stones for one day's stay.

Although it is expensive, it provides security. Each of their residences is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also has solid formations that cannot be blasted open even by a divine cultivator. Of course, ordinary people do not dare to cause trouble at Feilong Post Station.

Those who come to live at Feilong Inn are either relatively wealthy people or cultivators who are about to break through.

There are tens of millions of cultivators in Mudong Divine City. Every day, there are cultivators who break through their realms. Most of those laborers will choose to break through at Feilong Station.

For safety reasons, Xu Changshou paid three thousand medium-grade spirit stones at one time, enough for living for a month.

After returning to the room, taking a shower and changing clothes, Xu Changshou sat cross-legged and took the enlightenment pill.

“Buzz…”

After taking the enlightenment pill, Xu Changshou felt as if the great Dao of the heavens descended into his body, thousands of Daos were chanting, and he felt as if he had suddenly been enlightened.

In an instant, the clouds were cleared and the sun came into view, and Xu Changshou comprehended the third level of Taoism.

As expected of an enlightenment pill that cost 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones each, its effect was so powerful that it allowed him to break through the level in an instant.

Snap!

The next moment, the spiritual energy in Xu Changshou's body began to boil and was about to break through...
