As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Novel2

203 Cooperation (2)

“I only obtained an inheritance by chance and figured out some things on my own!” Yue Changmu smiled cautiously. “I can only make two elementary life-saving talismans, the Light Body Talisman, and the Spirit Shield Talisman.”

“You’re too humble!” Jiang Ming said from the bottom of his heart. The two of them chatted for a moment, and Jiang Ming gave a bottle of Qi-Returning Pills in return before leaving.

When Jiang Ming returned to the courtyard, he could not help but shake his head and sigh. Other people had cultivated to the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm in less than ten years and even managed to become talisman masters. He had been alive for two hundred years. However, he was not that successful.

It did not matter. With his immortality, he had more than enough time to slowly rise to the top. action

Jiang Ming consoled himself before he calmed down and continued to practice alchemy.

It had only been a few days since he first met Yue Changmu. However, he suddenly came to find him again.

Jiang Ming welcomed him into the courtyard, and the two exchanged greetings for a moment. Yue Changmu said calmly, “Master Jiang, to be honest. I chose the cave dwelling in the small green peak to be in your vicinity.”

Jiang Ming smiled. He was not surprised. He motioned for him to continue.

Over the past few decades, he had become more and more skilled in the Misty Rain Technique. Many spirit farmers had moved to the small green peak in an attempt to rub shoulders with him so that he could help them with farming.

However, Jiang Ming was also a little curious. Was this talisman maker also a farmer? Could it be that he had planted some spirit herbs in his cave and wanted him to cast the Misty Rain Technique on them?

However, Yue Changmu’s next words were shocking.

“I would like to work with you to make talismans!” Yue Changmu continued slowly, “One of the talismans that I have mastered is called the Rain Talisman. It contains the Misty Rain Technique. It is quite popular here. However, I’ve only mastered the early level of the Misty Rain Technique. The profit margin of such a low-level talisman is very low. Therefore, I would like to invite you to create a Rain Talisman with me that contains the Misty Rain Technique at your level of mastery. You only need to cast the Misty Rain Technique when I’m creating the talisman and compress it to a one-foot radius. I’ll use the corresponding rune to seal it into the talisman paper.

“There are many immortal cultivators who don’t live on Xiaoqian Mountain. They have their own cave abodes and spirit herb gardens outside the mountains. Some of the spirit herbs they grow need to be watered by an extremely high-level Misty Rain Technique. However, the price of hiring a cultivator with such mastery of the Misty Rain Technique is extremely high. If our talismans are successful, they’ll definitely sell well. I can give you half of the profit for each talisman.”

“What?” Jiang Ming was shocked. “You can make talismans like this?”

“The essence of a talisman is to seal all kinds of techniques and spells within it and cast them when needed. It doesn’t matter who casts it while making the talisman.” Yue Changmu laughed and continued, “The success rate will definitely be low at the beginning. However, there will be no problem after some practice. I’ve heard that those large sects use this method to make talismans. It’s just that on Xiaoqian Mountain, the individual cultivators regard their talisman inheritance as a treasure and don’t want outsiders to pry into it. Thus, this kind of cooperation is rare.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll secretly learn how to make talismans?” Jiang Ming asked, amused.

“I found this inheritance of mine randomly, what’s there to fear? Furthermore, the path of talismans is extremely complicated. How can you learn it by just looking at it?” Yue Changmu laughed. “Besides, you’re already a master of alchemy. Why would he be distracted with talisman-making? Our life spans a mere two hundred years. We don’t have time to waste.”

“Who’s ‘we’? Just because you don’t have time to waste doesn’t mean I don’t,” Jiang Ming thought to himself. He somewhat understood why Yue Changmu looked for him. He was the one with the lowest cultivation level among the few cultivators in the Plant Hall who could cast the Misty Rain Technique at such a profound level. He had also diverted some time to practice alchemy. In Yue Changmu’s eyes, he was probably the least threatening.

However, Jiang Ming did not feel upset. Only those who were crafty would survive in the world of immortal cultivation.

“But a Rain Talisman can’t be sold for many spirit stones, right?” Jiang Ming immediately frowned.

“The rarer something is, the more precious it is!” Yue Changmu shook his head and explained, “Think about it. What is the price of the Light Body Technique? The spiritual energy consumed can be quickly recovered after using it once. However, a Light Body Talisman that can be used instantly is worth the price of one spirit stone. It’s the same for the Misty Rain Technique. There are no talismans made from a high-level Misty Rain Technique in Xiaoqian Mountain yet. If we can make it, it would be much cheaper for those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to buy it than to hire a cultivator from the Plant Hall. They’re rich and would buy it in a blink. According to my calculations, a single talisman can be sold for at least two spirit stones each. Since the Misty Rain Technique’s attributes are mild, the requirements for talisman paper and spirit ink are relatively low. One spirit stone is enough to make two talismans, which means that we can make a huge profit!”
