Chapter 37: Sold Out
Mo Shulin felt frustrated in his heart but now is not the time to ask.
Mo Shulin didn’t know the reason why Bai Yuming would buy a hoof imprint calligraphy that has no effect, so he decided not to treat Gong Shuo harshly.
He picked the best looking heart-cleansing talismans for Gong Shuo and packed it inside a drawstring bag that has been prepared.
Then, Mo Shulin took out a small white porcelain bottle from his storage bag, “Senior Brother, this is the heart-cleansing spirit grass to complement the heart-cleansing talismans. It works better when used together.”
Gong Shuo saw the heart-cleansing spirit grass, nodded with joy.
Heart-cleansing spirit grass is a low-level material with a calming effect. The process of extracting the grass juice is very troublesome. Therefore, the price of this material is often on the expensive side, and Gong Shuo felt that it’s not worth buying for most of the time.
Mo Shulin also took two sets of low-level talismans to promote the effect of other artifacts and two low-level stand-in little wooden puppet, “These talismans are given as a gift, while the stand-in little wooden puppet can be used to conceal your breath and as a disguise.”
Gong Shuo felt that he made a big profit after he traded with this red-clothed elder.
And the Junior Brother is also a master at doing business. These gifts are really good because they really complemented each other. The talismans can be connected, forming an array to promote the spell formation to reach it’s maximum effect. Along with the stand-in wooden puppet that could imitate human breath and aura.
Fu Yongxin glanced at the gifts and couldn’t help but became surprised.
Talismans, couplets, mechanical rats, spirit grass juice, pills, drawstring bags…
There’s so many items in this small stall, even though there’s a varied cultivation levels.
Fu Yongxin originally thought these were items made by Bai Yuming and Mo Shulin. Now it’s more like the disciple was learning business by selling items while the master is unfettered by his disciple running around.
When Fu Yongxin didn’t have any ideas to buy more stuff, he saw the small red cloth bag with the word “Fu” on it, he suddenly felt that it could be used as a New Year’s gift.
Fu Yongxin asked: “Is there any more red cloth bag than these two?”
He didn’t see these two small cloth bags when he bought other items just now.
“Yes.” Mo Shulin nodded, his round eyes seemed innocent, “Uncle want to buy it it? It’s a good deal. Only sixty-six low-grade spirit stones are needed to buy such set. Both talismans and wooden puppet also have the same price.”
Of course he couldn’t say the reason he took out these red cloth bag was to lure Fu Yongxin to buy more stuff.
Fu Yongxin feels that the price is acceptable, “Then give me thirty-two sets.”
Worried there’s not enough items in the stall, Fu Yongxin added: “You can put anything with it, I just need this bag.”
Creating talisman is a long practice of dripping water and piercing stone, many young cultivators can’t survive this process, and leave within a few years.
The Fu family’s apprenticeships have always been indiscriminate, only accepting those who could survive.
There were thirty-two disciples who entered a breakthrough on Fu Yongxin’s peak alone. In the previous years, he used to give some spirit stones as gifts. This year, because he rarely see such a good item, he decided to use this bag as a gift.
“Okay. Uncle, please wait a moment.” Mo Shulin immediately showed a bright smile, packing thirty-two items in a swift manner.
Mo Shulin is also very attentive. He saw that Fu Yongxin was a master at creating talismans, and he first packed twenty-eight sets of stand-in wooden men. After that, Mo Shulin didn’t place any talismans, instead replacing it with a pill or spirit grass juice to replenish spiritual energy, but the talismans used to promote spell formation was still given.
Fu Yongxin was secretly surprised.
“Child, why didn’t you place any talismans for this old man?” Fu Yongxin asked with some tentativeness, but his tone involuntarily became more gentle.
Mo Shulin’s hand movements stopped, his face still plastered with that childlike smile, “Uncle, there’s such a big word of “talisman” on your waist card, how can this disciple dare to show oneself with these defects.”
Fu Yongxin glanced down to see his waist card, and noticing Gong Shuo who also saw his identity, he immediately smiled, “Look at me. It was me who’s stupid.”
The elder’s waist card could identify their identity according to the different patterns and different words on it.
The words on Fu Yongxin’s waist card means talisman.
Fu Yongxin couldn’t help but sigh. Even though the child in front of him is young, he’s already very capable.
The value for pills and talismans are all the same for a businessman. But on Fu Yongxin’s peak, talismans are the most indispensable item. The supply exceeds the demand, and the value of talismans are naturally far lower than pills.
Even if he says that he didn’t mind on whatever items were stuffed inside the bag, but he still cares on how other people treated his words.
After Mo Shulin finished packing the thirty-two red clothed bags, Fu Yongxin not only paid the money, but also gave a middle-grade spirit stone as a reward.
Mo Shulin received it with no surprise, and returned it with a sweet thank you.
Fu Yongxin took a fancy to Gong Shuo’s materials, and after paying the money, he and Gong Shuo found another place to discuss the prices of the materials for making talismans.
Mo Shulin and Bai Yuming were the only one left in the stall again.
Bai Yuming was really shocked on Mo Shulin’s business skills. He wouldn’t even know half of these tactics if he was the one who sell these items.
After a round of sales, 50% of the items on the stall has been purchased. There are still four types of New Year couplets, spring couplets, other trinkets, and heart-cleansing talismans, especially talismans that still has many left. Bai Yuming also knew that the most unskilled mechanical rats and stand-in wooden puppets were sold out.
Although the mechanical rats got sold because it was instilled with Bai Yuming spiritual energy, but the wooden puppet got sold out because of Mo Shulin’s wit. The middle-grade spirit stone obtained by Mo Shulin was the best proof.
There were no more potential costumers left, and Mo Shulin didn’t become idle.
He reorganized the things on the stall, then took out more red cloth bags to stuff the talismans that can’t be sold. After instilling a spell, Mo Shulin placed some spiritual grass juice and pills. Finally, opened the bag so other people could see what’s inside.
Bai Yuming really couldn’t understand Mo Shulin’s movement. Since he wanted to sell something, why did he packed it up again? How can he sell the remaining items like this?
But there’s people around, Bai Yuming can’t ask casually since he’s pretending to be an immortal.
But soon Bai Yuming knew the answer.
Because Shi Haicheng brought his master with him when he came back.
All this was naturally expected by Mo Shulin. As the New Year is approaching, many disciples would indulge themselves in a little bit of consumption after they got money from their families back home.
Looking at Shi Haicheng’s clothing, he knew that Shi Haicheng has a good family background. Shi Haicheng is also a direct disciple, with his face full of spring breeze and a strong sense of belonging to Liangji sect, Mo Shulin knew that Shi Haicheng has lived very well in the sect.
This sect is a place where a master could spend hundreds of years struggling to live well. It can be seen that Shi Haicheng has a good master since he dares to directly borrow spirit stones.
When Shi Haicheng wanted to borrow spirit stones, he’ll have to explain the reason, and naturally he’ll mention Bai Yuming and other items on the stall. As long as Shi Haicheng’s master is not busy, he would also come and check around the stall.
Mo Shulin was sure that the items he asked Bai Yuming to make were rare in the Cultivator Continent, and with an affordable price.
Contempt for demon cultivators is one thing, but when it comes to reaping the benefits, any creature in the Three Realms can temporarily suppress their grievances.
There’s no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.
Under Mo Shulin’s intentional guidance, Shi Haicheng’s master, Jiang Yanrui, not only bought a New Year couplets, he also bought a pair of Spring Festival couplets, three stacks of heart-cleansing talismans, and the red cloth bags.
Fu Yongxin, who had just bought the materials, saw Jiang Yanrui and greeted him, casually asked why he bought buy so many red cloth bags.
There are not many disciples on Jiang Yanrui peak, only eleven disciples that’s talented like Shi Haicheng.
When he knew that these red cloth bags couldn’t only be given to his own disciples, but also to those disciples who came to run errands, Fu Yongxin cursed in his heart that he was too stupid and made such a simple logical error.
Not to mention Fu Yongxin, even Bai Yuming, who had been staying next to Mo Shulin, never thought that this thing could be used as a red envelope.
This is indeed more attentive than giving spirit stones. Especially at this time of New Year, everyone would gave out spirit stones. But when Jiang Yanrui specially gave out red cloth bag, the disciples who had worked so hard to climb half a mountain would feel warm seeing this.
And Mo Shulin’s business talent is much more than that.
After the low-level items were sold out, the remaining New Year couplets, Spring Festival couplets, and heart-cleansing talismans in the stall were expensive and hard to sell.
Bai Yuming knew that these things weren’t easy to get rid of, so he never thought about selling them.
Among the remaining three things, only the material cost of heart-cleansing talisman that’s expensive, and the other two have almost no net profit. The material cost for the heart-cleansing talismans wasn’t worth mentioning before the sky-high price couplets sold by Mo Shulin.
Bai Yuming already have the thought of losing money for this material.
Seeing Mo Shulin packing up his things, Bai Yuming also put away his chair and book, ready to go back to Yuexue peak happily with his little disciple.
But then he heard Mo Shulin said: “Master, wait for me.” As he spoke, he went to other stalls in Bai Yuming’s line of sight.
Bai Yuming thought that Mo Shulin wanted to buy something to reward himself. Immediately he saw that Mo Shulin was consigning the remaining three items to the three stall owners in the form of split cooperation. One of the stall owners is Gong Shuo.
In order to promote the sales, Mo Shulin also gave some ideas to the three stall owners, striving to receive spirit stones as soon as possible.
Although Mo Shulin will take most of the money that made from the sale, he still sign an agreement with the three stall owners, leaving each other’s names and spiritual energy behind. Stall owner won’t give up their more profitable status as a disciple of Liangji sect for hundreds of high-grade spirit stones.
Bai Yuming realized Mo Shulin’s brilliance for the first time.
He thought of five words: how genius like a demon.
How smart is it that a ten-year-old child can seem to know everything?
After all the items for sale were cleared out from the storage bag, Mo Shulin returned to Bai Yuming and gave a respecful bow, he said in a good attitude: “Master, I’m done.”
Seeing the little child’s eyes are full of anxiety and restlessness, Bai Yuming’s heart softened as he nervously squeezed the other’s tender and white hands.
He was just a kid who wants to be good in front of him.
Rich families tend to be more doting with their child while the poor would let their sons to be in charge early.
Without the protection from a family and offended a demon like Smiling Whitehead, Mo Shulin must have endured so much grief and sorrow every day.
Not wanting to leave Yuexue peak, worry that Bai Yuming would regard him as a burden, trying to help Bai Yuming live a better life and show his usefulness. Isn’t this something that all children with insecure hearts will do?
“Let’s go home.” Bai Yuming held Mo Shulin’s hand, with a gentle tone that he didn’t even realized.
“Yeah. Let’s go home.” Mo Shulin likes going home.
Even if they live in a yellow mud cave, it’s Mo Shulin’s most precious haven.
He’ll definitely protect this treasure and let Bai Yuming live a better life.
