Chapter 182 A Different World
The fire shone on Zhu Ke's face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head. There are advantages and disadvantages. Compared with the soul of heaven and earth, this convenience is not enough.
Du Qian didn't know that a sense of transmission made Zhu Ke think of more things and was studying the stone drum in his hand.
"Zhu Ke agreed, I want to polish this stone drum." Du Qian said.
"Agree? Why don't I know?" Qian Wuming said in surprise. With his understanding of Du Qian, this guy is not the kind of nonsense and unpredictable person. You are standing in front of me. After a few dozen seconds, he told me that Boss Zhu agreed?
This is too much.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you, he really agrees." Du Qian said, showing his spirit gun and starting to polish the stone drum in his hand.
The stone drum is obviously less hard than the stone with a large human head. However, with his pitiful combat power, it is not easy to polish a stone drum with a diameter of several centimeters, and it takes enough time.
Fortunately, I have time today, even Qian Wuming accepted his fate. If I want to grind the big stone, Yao Jing and his three servants would have to spend half a day. This means only grinding half the thickness. If I want to grind them all, it may not be enough for a day.
Is that necessary? At most half of it is enough. Even if you go crazy with Du Qian, you have to have a limit.
The spiritual energy in the body was quickly consumed, and Du Qian only polished about five millimeters.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, taking out a spiritual horn, not caring about other people's gaze at all, and absorbing spiritual energy with all his strength.
More than two hours later, Du Qian's inspiration flashed in his hand, the spirit gun disappeared, and he walked to Qian Wuming.
"What are you doing?" Qian Wuming had just finished making a talisman and looked up at Du Qian, feeling full of resentment. They had wasted too much time here.
Look at the stone. Even if the four warriors take turns grinding the stone, they only have a depth of a few centimeters. At this speed, it takes a lot longer than I had expected before.
"Look at what this thing is?" Du Qian handed the stone drum that was polished to Qian Wuming. The area of the stone drum was not large, half was empty, and the other half showed a trace of gray-black substance, which was obviously different from the stone drum.
"Suspicious? Come here and grind it open." Qian Wuming waved to a guard at a guard, pointed to the exposed gray-black position, and shouted excitedly.
"Yes." After taking the stone drum, a spark appeared in the attendant's eyes. The spiritual sword in his hand gently polished the stone drum. It was obvious that he was very careful in polishing, not like Du Qian, and did his best to polish it.
The strength is too different, and the stone drum is much softer than the stones in the cave. If you use all your strength to grind it, it is easy to hurt the things inside the stone drum.
Even if he was very careful, his speed was much faster than Du Qian. After two swords, the stone drum was worn out, revealing the gray-black thing the size of a date pit inside.
"Stone Essence, good quality." The attendant took out the stone Essence, pinched his fingers, put them in front of him and observed them carefully for a moment.
"Brother Du, are you lucky?" Qian Wuming looked at Du Qian with confusion and took the stone spirit from his servant.
Although he has entered the cave world many times and has handled hundreds of stone drums, it is the first time he has seen the grinding stone essence with his own eyes.
"How much is this thing worth?" Du Qian asked excitedly. In fact, he didn't care about the value of this stone spirit, but suspected that his palpitations had nothing to do with stress, and it was probably a special ability.
"The diameter is 15 cm, 6,000 talismans are around 6,000." Qian Wuming said.
"Such a small thing is worth 6,000 talismans, it seems that the price of the stone drum is like this thing." When Du Qian first heard it, he was shocked. This thing was so expensive. When he thought about it, he felt something was wrong.
"Normal, stone drums are competing for character, and their actual value is far lower than the selling price." Qian Wuming naturally knew what Du Qian was thinking. It was not surprising that he had such an idea.
Calculate at the lowest price of a stone drum, and a single piece costs about one hundred talismans, and the probability of none of them being one hundred. If you want to open the drum and get essence, it is equivalent to using ten thousand talismans to fight for six thousand talismans, or even lower.
Just considering from the perspective of economic value and business, it is definitely a business that loses money, and the compensation is not ordinary. It is good luck to pay twice as much, but it is not new to pay ten times.
"Brother Du, you have been in the institution for too short. You know too little about the rules of many of the industry of Jufu Masters. The yield rate of stone spirits is actually not low, none of them in a hundred, and it seems very few, but do you know, how many people are permanently resident in the cave world?"
Du Qian nodded. Qian Wuming was right. When it was shared on his personal head, stone essence is a rare thing. Overall, the absolute number of stone essences will definitely not be too small.
Qian Wuming gave Du Qian more than ten seconds of reaction time. Seeing that he had understood, he continued to say: "There are a lot of stone spirits, how many talismans are there?"
"rare."
After thinking about it, Du Qian added: "Very few."
"You are right. The number of talismans can only be described as very rare. What is the reason for so many stone spirits and so few talismans?"
"Low success rate?" Du Qian blurted out without thinking. Only this is possible to explain the quantitative difference between the two.
"Brother Du is wise, it is indeed so. The number of Fuji Masters is always insufficient, but the total number is still large. The empire has two major Fuji Masters, which can recruit a lot of students every year. In addition, noble families and royal military departments have their own Fuji Masters, and also a system to cultivate Fuji Masters. With so many Fuji Masters, who can make talisman tools?"
Du Qian shook his head. He had four and a half talisman instruments in his hand. Each talisman instrument had the mark of the Master of Gathering Talisman, but these people were only in legends, and he had never seen any of them.
"Brother Du, you know that our Zhengyun Academy is the first institution for cultivating Jufu Masters in the Empire, and its ranking is still above Bailing Academy. But you know, in our Academy, how many Jufu Masters are capable of making talismans? How many have actually made talismans?"
Du Qian shook his head again. Du Qian didn't know these two questions. Not to mention such a difficult problem, he couldn't even figure out who are the master-level mentors in Zhengyun Academy.
During the period when I entered the school, I only met a few of them. In addition, the cheap teacher, the owner of the house and other tutors, basically I couldn’t name them, and at most I would just feel familiar.
Qian Wuming looked directly into Du Qian's eyes and said, "All people have the ability to make talismans. You should know that this type of course is available in the school, and you can go to the class as long as you want. Not only that, there are quite a lot of books on making and talismans in the school's library, including various methods of making, experience, experience, genres, and whatever you want to see. In addition, the threshold for making talismans is far higher than you imagined. As long as you study for a period of time, you can also try to make it."
"Really?" Du Qian's eyes lit up, and he naturally knew that the talisman tool was much easier to use than the talisman.
Qian Wuming nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course it's true, but there is another answer to the question, you may not want to hear it. All the talisman masters in our school, including those who teach talisman making talismans, have only three who have truly successfully made talismans, including your teacher, Ming Yufei, the head of the mansion. The other two are the Huo family's Huo Yan mentor, and the other is the crystal mentor of the Shui family."
"So little?" Du Qianqing exclaimed, so little was actually? It was much less than he thought.
"Are you fewer? I'm afraid it's less than you think. Instructor Huoyan successfully made two talismans, and instructor Crystal made one talisman. These three talismans were all garbage."
"Rubbish?"
"Yes, it's garbage. From theory, design to completion, they are all qualified, but they are useless, especially for martial artists, which is of no value at all. Can you imagine it? A talisman that has no value to martial artists? What is that not garbage?"
"Only your teacher Ming Yufei, the three talismans he made, can be considered real talismans."
"There are only six talismans in total?" That's Zhengyun Academy, the success rate is so low? And half of them are scraps?
"Well, there are only six pieces. Do you know how many stone spirits they used?"
Du Qian shook his head stupidly, how could he guess this right?
"I don't know the exact numbers either. There are many rumors. The least one of them is that they used more than 300 stone spirits in total. At most, it is exaggerated. It is said that they used 3,000 pieces. This statement is not very credible."
Du Qian felt that his head was buzzing. This calculation question was not complicated, but he was no longer in the mood to calculate. The success rate of talisman production was so low that it was enough to make people collapse. Who would dare to make it?
No wonder the only three of them in the school have succeeded. Needless to say, the teacher Ming Yufei is a member of the royal family, the lord of the Zhengyun School, and himself is the extremely famous Jufu Master of the Empire.
The other two have a family with a solid foundation behind them, and only such people dare to continue to challenge.
Damn it, how much is the talisman artifact worth? With such a success rate, I’m afraid even those three people will have the urge to cry.
"Brother Du should understand. If a stone spirit is worth it, it is worth it. If it is not worth it, it is not worth much. There are very few people who dare to buy and use it. One or two stone spirits will not work."
"How do we usually deal with the stone spirit we get? Should we sell it?" Du Qian thought about it and asked.
"Of course not. Will Mr. Zhu be short of money? Don't talk about him, even I am not short of money. The stone spirit you get will be distributed to three of us in the end. Mr. Zhu means that we can use it to practice, and don't be afraid of wasting it. Mr. Zhu won't buy stone spirit for us on purpose, and the stone spirit you get will not be sold out. There are not many things that can make the soul master interested, and the talisman is exactly one of them." Qian Wuming said with a smile.
Du Qian sighed lightly, feeling that he and these people did not live in the same world, and the difference was too big. To be continued.
