CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 302: "MASS-PRINTING" TALISMAN MASTER

"According to this situation, the profit would be quite considerable!" Jiang Yuan placed a stack of talismans on the table. The prices varied depending on the type, but a stack of thirty-two could sell for one thousand two hundred spirit stones.

He’s not sure if Yun Shu used energy from the immortal jade to create these talismans, but since the money was already spent, why not give it a try.

He set the talismans on the counter, ready to sell them after the evening business, then praised as he walked out of the floating market, "The talismans you draw are excellent. They can indeed be exchanged for spirit stones. Teleportation Talismans fetch the highest price, while the others are about the same. If you have time, you could draw more to sell."

"Fantastic!" Yun Shu clapped her hands enthusiastically, "I’ll go draw right away!"

Jiang Yuan hurriedly stopped her, "You need to use the immortal jade for power now, so conserve energy appropriately and don’t overwork yourself."

"It doesn’t consume much energy. I’m very energy-efficient." She rolled up her sleeve, revealing a patch of skin on her wrist. "Look, sir, I can see the remaining energy here."

He leaned closer to take a look and indeed saw something resembling a battery icon, indicating that not even one-twentieth of the energy from ten pieces of immortal jade had been used so far.

Watching Yun Shu happily head inside to draw talismans, Jiang Yuan was filled with a multitude of thoughts.

Modern artificial intelligence had an uncanny resemblance to the puppetry techniques of the cultivation world.

Recalling how news reported that equipment could now enable human flight, he mused that "sword flight" in the real world wasn’t an impossibility with further development.

Being so, Yun Shu, as a mysterious puppet from the cultivation world, who didn’t need to breathe or eat as long as there was enough energy, should also be able to adapt and transform with suitable parts in the future, shouldn’t she?

The universe corresponds to the void;

If modern intelligent machinery could achieve "sword flight";

Why couldn’t a puppet from the cultivation world turn into a "spaceship"?

In that manner, there would be no need to envy Yin Mountain’s female corpse’s Immortal Shuttle; upgrading a puppet could also venture into the void!

Of course, this was just his whimsical thought, serving as a potential development option for Yun Shu in the future. After all, even if the Bull Demon King came, he would still have to think of a way to tether it to plow two acres of land; if she could draw talismans to support herself, that would count as officially leaving the ranks of idle eaters.

While it was still daylight, Jiang Yuan crossed the bridge to select a plot of land, cultivating a neat 7X7, totaling forty-nine new fields, and then clicked upgrade to add the recently harvested high-efficiency fertilizer from his storage bag.

"Shua!"

A golden light flashed, and the originally ordinary tan field transformed into black soil, appearing loose and fertile.

[Mission 2: Construct at least 49 Level Two fields complete, the intermediate seed area in the store is now unlocked]

[Mission 3: Upgrade the poultry house to Level Four. Reward: Unlock intermediate poultry zone]

Eagerly opening the store’s seed section, he indeed saw rows of seeds he did not recognize.

"Moonlight Grass, an inedible economic crop. It matures in three days, and can be made into Moon Shadow Gauze at the Textile Workshop after harvesting!"

"Dragon Heart Fruit, an edible fruit crop. Matures in two days and can be harvested four times..."

"Nine-leaf Golden Vine, an inedible economic crop, matures in four days..."

As Jiang Yuan examined each detail analytically, he grew increasingly excited.

Besides the Moon Shadow Gauze, which Miss Hu Jiu mentioned was popular among cultivators at the Cyan Fish Mountain market, the Nine-leaf Golden Vine could be made into Nine-leaf Golden Thread at the Textile Workshop. Combining it with millennial spider silk, it could weave the Celestial Silk Cloth needed for Feathered Robe!

Additionally, edible crops, including Spirit Rice, covered a large array of ingredients filled with spiritual energy favored by cultivators. In other words, growing these crops and acquiring an intermediate recipe could create foods tailored for cultivators, having an apparent therapeutic effect on Xiao Bai and company.

Especially during the spiritual energy deficit by day, eating three full meals enriched with it, living in an environment dense with spiritual energy, would negate the need for additional spirit stone supplementation during cultivation.

Eating well and saving money, plus selling the produced food at the market for spirit stones, surely widened avenues for earning!

Jiang Yuan carried a brimming pot of water to thoroughly water the new fields, carefully selected four crop types, spending spirit stones to buy seeds, and planted them one by one into the field.

"Indeed, it’s time to upgrade the poultry house and livestock pen. Besides needing more animals for material accumulation, upgrading these to Level Two fields requires an enormous amount of primary fertilizer."

Thinking this, he glanced up to the mist descending on the wilderness.

With the tree house’s protective enhancement, the veil over the courtyard at night seemed brighter than usual, faintly becoming visibly thick, evolving from the fragile soap bubble of early times into a resilient transparent balloon.

The wilderness settling had no impact on the courtyard; its lamps switched on with a gentle glow.

The tree house also emitted a warm candlelight, appearing cozy and tranquil under the sheltering canopy; Furong Spirit Pool’s lotuses bloomed, with water occasionally sounding gently; fruits and vegetables thrived in the fields; the poultry house and livestock pen were filled with plump chickens, ducks, and herds of cattle and sheep.

Jiang Yuan beheld the scene, a sense of achievement welling up within - this was a warm home he had crafted himself, starting from scratch with his own hands!

"Wow! Another one done so quickly? Sister Yun Shu, aren’t you tired?" Wan Mingchuan stared in shock at Yun Shu, who glanced up from her talisman drawing with a smile and picked up a newly painted one. "Sister Hu, just drawing casually like this makes money?"

Hu Zhile nodded and patiently explained, "It’s not just a simple drawing. You’ll understand in the future; being a Talisman Master is a highly favored profession. They can craft all sorts of talismans using cinnabar, special ink, and special talisman paper.

For instance, the rarely seen and expensive Teleportation Talisman is one of them.

Talismans are straightforward to use, with virtually no barrier, making those with effective and high spiritual power very popular. Take you, for example; currently, being in the Foundation Establishment Realm, there’s not much combat capability, and spiritual power reserves are relatively small, right?

If a battle breaks out, your technique use would quickly exhaust your spiritual power, making injury or death a risk without timely replenishment.

However, having many talismans on hand requires only a trace of spiritual power to activate them, allowing the immediate release of powerful techniques, significantly enhancing safety, doesn’t it?"

"I see, so talismans are essentially a way to store techniques!" Wan Mingchuan realized, "Then... if I had many advanced talismans, wouldn’t I be able to rival even an Enlightenment Realm cultivator through successive bombardments?"

"Granted you have the wealth to possess copious advanced talismans and fling them freely, you could indeed overwhelm Enlightenment Realm cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Wan Mingchuan’s eyes lit up, "Sister Yun Shu, can you draw advanced talismans?"

"Is the one I’m drawing really that low level?" Focused entirely on her talisman drawing, Yun Shu raised her head, looking puzzled. "I don’t know what advanced talismans look like."

The other two were momentarily tongue-tied, as one had never seen even low-level talismans, while the other had seen advanced ones but couldn’t describe them.

Just then, Jiang Yuan entered to prepare dinner, already shocked at Yun Shu’s robot-like efficiency in "printing" basic talismans. He quickly took out a Teleportation Talisman from his storage bag, "Can you draw something like this?"

If she could "mass-produce" Teleportation Talismans, wouldn’t that mean huge profits?
