Chapter 11 Find out the market situation

Xu Feng walked slowly along the road of the market.

Counting the time, it's time to go back now.

But he still didn't leave, but in the midst of the commotion, he was rapidly turning his brain, thinking about what had just happened.

"It seems that this system has many functions. I haven't figured it out yet. I didn't expect that there is such an operation as hiding opportunities. However, the triggering of hidden resources is too passive and there is no warning at all.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly today, so the stall owner didn't find out about it, otherwise the secret would have been exposed. "

When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he was obviously in a very happy mood.

Thinking about the battle of wits and courage with the stall owner just now, he wanted to laugh. This was the first time in his life that he had made a mistake.

But then, he started thinking about other things.

"The hidden opportunity triggered this time is the elixir, and the elixir is closely related to alchemy. It seems that the name of the system is indeed correct. It is indeed related to the cultivation of immortals and hundreds of arts. It seems that in the future, the markets in these outer areas and the inner You should visit the local shops and casual repair markets frequently, you may find unexpected gains.”

Thinking of this, he began to come back to his senses and began to inspect the surrounding talisman and seal stalls. This was also one of the important reasons why he came here today.

When he came to a stall selling talismans and seals, he stopped again, but did not talk to the stall owner rashly, but just looked at it with his eyes.

Looking around, there are only four kinds of talismans and seals on this stall, and without exception, they are all first-class low-grade ones.

Two of them are the small fireball talisman and the ice sword talisman, which are the same as his. The other two are the communication talisman and the small cloud and rain talisman that are not recorded on the jade slips left by his master.

Messaging talismans are very common. One party leaves his own unique spiritual mark in the talisman and then sends it to others. When others want to inform you of something, they will inject what they want to say into the talisman and then inspire it. It will fly back to you automatically.

However, the flight range of a first-level low-grade communication talisman is only a few miles, which can probably cover the size of the area where he lives.

However, when the level of the communication talisman is higher in the future, the communication range will increase. The master told him that if it is a second-level communication talisman, the flying distance can be as far as hundreds or thousands of miles, and the speed is extremely fast.

There is no need to introduce the Xiaoyunyu Talisman in detail. It is specially used to bring rain to the spirit field. Its application range is relatively narrow and basically useless to him, so he just glanced at it and stopped paying attention to it.

Then his attention shifted from the stall to the stall owner.

The stall owner was a man who seemed to be quite diligent. He was holding a book called "Basic Encyclopedia of Talisman and Seal Script" in his hand and was reading it all the time. Even though he stood in front of the stall for a long time, he didn't even look up.

However, in order to talk to him, he still squatted down. It was only then that the stall owner finally moved his eyes away from the book, glanced at him sideways, said casually, and then moved his eyes away again. go back.

If you don’t understand how to run a business, no wonder no one is willing to patronize you!

Xu Feng cursed, then picked up the talisman on the stall and began to look at it carefully.

After a while, he had come to the conclusion that the stall owner's talisman-making skills should be on par with his own.

However, the opponent looked much older than him, so he won this round completely.

"How to sell the communication charm?"

"One piece of three spirit stones."

"So expensive? Can't it be cheaper?"

"..."

The stall owner simply stopped answering, and this was considered an alternative answer.

"How do you sell this little cloud and rain talisman from fellow Taoist?"

"Two spiritual stones and three pieces."

"What about this little fireball charm?"

"Two spiritual stones."

In this way, he directly asked the prices of all the talismans and seals on the stall, and also found out the prices of the Lingmo talisman paper.

In the end, if the stall owner hadn't stared at him with an angry look, he would have wanted to ask him the price of drawing these talisman and seal talisman pens, although the talisman pens were not displayed.

Anyway, his goal was achieved, so he stood up straight and left without looking back.

"It seems that the prices of the talismans sold at the stalls here are slightly cheaper than those in the shops in the inner area, but the quality of the shops in the inner area is more guaranteed. It all depends on your eyesight here."

He thought so through what he just understood.

But this is easy to understand. The monks who set up stalls here do not have fixed stalls or fixed stall times. Even if you buy bad quality talismans and seals, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

But the store in the inner area is different. If a monk buys a talisman and seal from you, but finds that it doesn't work after taking it back, will he find a group of friends to come and make trouble with you and demand compensation from you?

As long as you come here, the reputation of the store will basically be ruined. Therefore, the quality of the talismans provided by the store has been strictly screened, and defective products will never be allowed to leak out.

Then Xu Feng came to the market management office, which looked like a thatched house.

When he walked in, he found that the furnishings inside were extremely simple, with only a large square table for office use and four long wooden benches.

In front of the table, there was an old man who was bending over to draw. When he noticed someone, he first put the brush in his hand on the pen holder aside, then calmly shook his hand, and finally took a look at what he had not yet finished. The painting came out from behind the table.

The old man had a three-locked beard and a boyish face. He looked like a true cultivator. After seeing him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and then he said:

"Young friend, what are you doing here? Come, sit down and talk."

Feeling the strong pressure from the old man, he knew that this was a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

After hearing what the old man said, he immediately bowed and said:

"There is no seat for me in front of you, I'd better stand!"

The old man smiled and shook his head, but he didn't force him, but continued:

"If you want to stand, it's up to you! Now you can talk, what are you doing here?"

"Senior, I came here to ask how to charge for setting up a stall here, is it by day, by month, or by year?" He directly stated his purpose.

"Whether it's by day, month, or year, it's all up to you guys who want to rent a stall. Long-term or short-term rentals are fine. Generally speaking, long-term rentals are more cost-effective, but most people who actually rent stalls are short-term renters. It's up to you to choose.

I have a specific price list here, you can take a look."

"Thank you, senior!"

After thanking him, Xu Feng took a thin booklet with both hands and began to flip through it.

"Daily rental of a stall ranges from half a Lingshi to two Lingshi, depending on the location; monthly rental of a stall ranges from 13 Lingshi to 52 Lingshi, depending on the location; annual rental of a stall ranges from 140 Lingshi to 420 Lingshi,..."

After reading it, he respectfully returned the booklet, then said goodbye and left.
