The ancestor of talismans

In the afternoon, we had spiritual food.

After Xu Changshou's spiritual energy recovered a little, Yang Bailao took him to Li Datu's dojo.

"Disciple Yang Bailao, I greet Uncle Li."

"Disciple Xu Changshou, I greet Uncle Li."

"What do you two want?" Li Datu frowned slightly.

Yang Bailao said respectfully: "Uncle Li, Junior Brother Xu has learned to draw talismans, so I brought him to see you."

Li Datu pinched his fingers: "Four months... Well, not bad."

"Xu Changshou."

"Disciple is here."

"From now on, you are responsible for drawing wind talismans, five per day, the first and fifteenth days of the month are rest days, and you must hand in 140 wind talismans per month, and the monthly salary is one spiritual stone.

If you fail to complete the task on time, you will be punished at double the monthly salary."

Hiss~

After hearing what Li Datu said, Xu Changshou couldn't help but take a breath.

I didn't expect the punishment for failing to complete the task to be so severe.

The penalty of double the monthly salary, that is, if he fails to complete the task, not only will he not be given the monthly salary, but also two spiritual stones will be fined.

No wonder Yang Bailao and the errand disciples of Green Ink Peak are so desperate to draw talismans.

They have to work hard.

They can't survive without working hard.

"By the way, these two bottles of Qi-boosting pills are given to you, draw talismans well."

Li Daotu waved his sleeves and two jade bottles flew over.

"Thank you, Uncle Li, for the reward."

Xu Changshou accepted the jade bottle with gratitude.

Qi-boosting pills are good things. For cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, one pill can restore all the lost spiritual energy.

A bottle of Qi-boosting pills costs ten pills and thirty broken spiritual stones. The price is much cheaper than Qi-gathering pills.

This thing is hard currency whether in Green Ink Peak or other peaks.

All errand disciples who do output-oriented work need Qi-boosting pills.

Li Datu gave Xu Changshou the task because he thought Xu Changshou was a newcomer and was afraid that he would not have spirit stones to buy Qi-boosting pills, which would delay his talisman drawing.

Xu Changshou secretly calculated in his heart.

If he did not have the Bloodline Jade Talisman, he could only draw five talismans a day, and he had to use at least one Qi-boosting pill every day while drawing talismans.

Based on thirty Qi-boosting pills a month, he would have to spend ninety pieces of broken spirit stones every month to buy Qi-boosting pills.

These ninety pieces of broken spirit stones were equivalent to losses.

So, in other words, the sect gave a monthly salary of one spirit stone, but in fact only ten pieces of broken spirit stones were in hand.

What can ten pieces of broken spirit stones do? If they are used for cultivation, they can only buy one Qi-gathering pill.

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou couldn't help but shudder.

If he did not have the Bloodline Jade Talisman, his path to immortal cultivation would definitely be a hundred times more difficult.

It was incredible that Yang Bailao and others could survive in such an environment.

"Go!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Li."

The two bowed and then respectfully left Li Daotu's dojo.

"Brother Yang, it's the same as what you said. Uncle Li really asked me to draw the Wind Talisman."

Yang Bailao smiled and said, "Of course, there are few menial disciples with wind attribute spiritual roots in our Green Ink Peak, and few people can draw the Wind Talisman. The Wind Talisman has always been in short supply.

You just happen to have the wind attribute, so naturally you are asked to draw the Wind Talisman.

By the way, Junior Brother, can you handle drawing five Wind Talismans every day?"

Xu Changshou patted his chest and assured, "Brother Yang, don't worry, I can do it."

Yang Bailao said solemnly, "Brother Xu, remember, the first month is the most difficult to persist. No matter what, you must complete the task, otherwise, the end will be miserable."

"Yeah!"

Xu Changshou nodded, and then said, "Brother Yang, I have run out of jute paper. Can you take me to the paper room to get some? I have never been to the paper room, and I don't know where it is?"

"That's easy. I don't have much paper. Let's go and I'll take you there."

Yang Bailao took Xu Changshou and rushed in one direction.

On the way, Xu Changshou asked, "Brother Yang, this is my first time taking a mission. What if I waste too much jute paper? Will there be any problem?"

Yang Bailao smiled and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry. There is no restriction on the use of jute paper next door. Even if you use a thousand sheets of jute paper a month, no one will ask. Jute paper is not valuable."

"That's good, that's good."

Xu Changshou nodded.

Since jute paper can be taken at will, it will be no problem for him to draw more talismans and sell them for money.

Soon, Yang Bailao took Xu Changshou to a hall. Xu Changshou looked into the hall and saw that the three halls were full of jute paper.

"Is Brother Zhong here?"

There was no one in the hall, and Yang Bailao raised his voice and shouted.

"Ahem!"

A cough came from the talisman room next door.

"Brother Zhong is next door, let's go!"

Yang Bailao took Xu Changshou to the next room, where an old man with gray hair and beard was drawing talismans.

Xu Changshou looked at the old man, who was probably in his seventies, with dirty clothes and unkempt appearance.

This was probably the tradition of Lvmo Peak. In his impression, the disciples of Lvmo Peak didn't seem to care much about their image.

"Brother Zhong, let's get some paper." Yang Bailao said respectfully.

The old man didn't even turn his head: "The paper is next door, go get it yourself, and report to me when you get it."

"Yes!"

Yang Bailao's face lit up, and he quickly pulled Xu Changshou to the hall where the paper was placed.

When they arrived at the hall, Yang Bailao waved his hand and secretly put three or four thousand sheets of jute paper into the storage bag, and then took a thousand sheets of jute paper in his hand.

"Brother Yang, what are you doing..."

Xu Changshou was a little curious about Yang Bailao's operation.

Yang Bailao smiled and said, "When Senior Brother Zhong is not busy, he usually takes the paper. He takes one thousand sheets at a time and reports one thousand sheets. If he takes it himself, he can take more and also report one thousand sheets."

"Is that so!"

Xu Changshou understood immediately and followed Yang Bailao to take three or four thousand more sheets.

After taking the talisman paper, the two came to the next door again. At this time, the old man was almost done drawing the talisman.

The two did not disturb him and watched from the side.

The talisman drawn by the old man was of earth attribute. Xu Changshou guessed that it should be an earth cover talisman.

Soon, the old man finished drawing the talisman and then looked at the two of them: "This junior brother looks unfamiliar. Could it be the new disciple who just entered this year?"

"It is me." Xu Changshou bowed.

Yang Bailao smiled and said, "Brother Zhong, let me introduce you to Junior Brother Xu Changshou. Junior Brother Xu, this is Zhong Xiuping, Brother Zhong."

Xu Changshou bowed again and said, "Hello, Brother Zhong."

"Hello, Junior Brother Xu."

Zhong Xiuping nodded slightly, then took out a pen and paper to report to the two of them.

Just a simple note and that was it.

Yang Bailao suddenly said, "By the way, Brother Zhong, I heard that you are about to retire. Please let me know when you will retire. Junior Brother Xu and I will attend your retirement ceremony on time."

Zhong Xiuping smiled when he heard it, "Soon, there are still three months."

"So soon, then congratulations to Brother Zhong for escaping from the sea of ​​suffering."

Yang Bailao looked envious, and then sighed, "When I first entered Green Ink Peak, I learned to draw talismans from Brother Zhong. In a blink of an eye, it has been almost forty years. Brother Zhong is about to retire. It's a pity that I have to endure another fifty years."
