Chapter 66: Losses turn into profits
Coming to Wang Changxue's stall, Wang Changsheng took out the little monkey puppet.
"Ninth brother, have you really refined a puppet beast?"
Wang Changxue was surprised, her eyes full of incredulity.
To be honest, she actually didn't have much hope for Wang Changsheng, if the puppet beast was so easy to refine, there would not be only two shops selling puppet beasts in the White Dragon Valley.
Wang Changsheng gave her three hundred spirit stones before, she just returned the spirit stones to Wang Changsheng, she originally thought that Wang Changsheng had failed several times, and she should have given up, but she didn't expect Wang Changsheng to really refine the puppet beast.
When I was young, I learned to carve puppets with him, but my father found out and reprimanded me fiercely, so I didn't continue to carve puppets. ”
The third uncle, Wang Yaojian, was born in the world, and his father was a carpenter, and when he was six years old, he was found to have a spiritual root, and was taken to Qinglian Mountain to begin his cultivation.
Wang Yaojian is a five-spirit root, his qualifications are very poor, and he is not much interested in cultivation, but more interested in carving puppets.
By chance, Wang Changsheng saw the puppet carved by Wang Yaojian, which was lifelike, and he liked it very much, and begged Wang Yaojian to teach him to carve puppets.
From then on, as long as he was free, Wang Changsheng would go to Wang Yaojian's residence to learn to carve puppets.
Wang Yaojian has a wife and a concubine, gave birth to three boys and two girls, and has no spiritual roots, he regards the "elder" generation as his own children, Wang Changsheng is his favorite nephew, and he taught Wang Changsheng everything he knows.
Wang Yaojian's carving is very clever, the puppets he made are extremely smooth at each joint, and he moves freely, he even imitated his facial features and made a humanoid puppet, which is very realistic, under Wang Yaojian's careful teaching, Wang Changsheng made rapid progress.
The good times didn't last long, and by chance, Wang Mingyuan found that Wang Changsheng had time not to cultivate, so he went to learn to carve puppets.
Wang Mingyuan reprimanded Wang Changsheng fiercely, saying that he was discouraged by his playthings, and burned all the puppets with a fire, and since then, Wang Changsheng has never carved puppets again.
When he grew up, Wang Changsheng thought of this past and felt that he was ridiculous, but now it seems that if he hadn't learned to carve puppets with Wang Yaojian, he might not be able to refine a puppet beast.
Of course, there is a more important reason why he can refine a puppet, his divine sense is much stronger than that of a monk of the same level.
When he was eight years old, by chance, he found that his divine sense seemed to be stronger than that of a monk of the same level, so he casually told Wang Mingyuan.
Wang Mingyuan actually invited Wang Yaozong, Wang Yaozong personally checked, and also used magic weapons, but nothing was checked, but it was confirmed that Wang Changsheng's expression was indeed stronger than that of a monk of the same level, and he told Wang Changsheng not to tell anyone else.
Wang Changsheng originally cultivated the "Autumn Water Jue", and he had already cultivated to the first level of qi refining at that time, but after discovering that his divine sense was stronger than that of a cultivator of the same level, Wang Mingyuan asked him to change to the "Cloud and Rain Jue", and said that it was an ancestral exercise, and asked him not to tell anyone.
"Cloud and Rain Jue" and "Autumn Water Jue" are both water attribute exercises, and Wang Changsheng didn't care about it, but re-cultivating, Wang Changsheng wasted more than a year in vain.
Wang Changsheng didn't take it seriously, a strong divine sense did not help cultivation, that is, to control a few more spiritual weapons, he didn't expect that a strong divine sense would be helpful for refining puppet beasts.
Of course, in order to refine this little monkey puppet, he used five materials, and the puppet beast that has always been a first-order low-grade puppet beast is sold for more than sixty spirit stones on the market.
At the beginning, Mu Yuyan sold the little monkey puppet beast at a price of fifty spirit stones, and the price was definitely cheaper than the puppet beast in the store.
This is also the norm, the goods of the small stall are cheaper than the store, if the price is the same, why don't others buy it in the store, at least the quality of the problem can come to the door to ask for an explanation, the whereabouts of the stall owner of the small stall is erratic, if you are deceived, there is no place to cry.
Wang Changxue suddenly realized, and said with a chuckle: "Remember, why don't I remember, that time it wasn't for the third aunt to stop you, the third uncle was going to open your ass and flowers, how many spirit stones are you going to sell this puppet beast?"
Wang Changsheng thought for a while and said, "The first-order low-grade puppets on the market sell for sixty spirit stones, let's sell them cheaper, fifty pieces!"
"Fifty dollars? Isn't it too little? Fifty-five dollars!"
Wang Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's just five spirit stones, why don't others go to the Heavenly Soldier Tower to buy them?" Besides, my puppet beast is not good at refining, it is cheaper to sell, second sister, you are also tired, go back and rest! I came to see the stall. ”
Wang Changxue did not object, and left after a few words.
Time passed and it darkened.
The snacks on the stall were all sold out, and only the little monkey puppet was left, and a few monks asked for the price, but they didn't buy it, they felt that it was too expensive, and the price they opened was too low, and Wang Changsheng did not agree.
Wang Changsheng is not discouraged, if he really can't sell it, he will keep it for his own use, the demon beasts in the White Dragon Mountain Range are rich in resources, and it will be safer with a puppet beast to help.
He took out the "Mu's Refining Secret Classic" and looked through it.
"How do you sell this puppet beast?"
A somewhat rough man's voice came into Wang Changsheng's ears.
Wang Changsheng looked up and saw three men and one woman standing in front of the stall, led by a bearded man in his forties.
Wang Changsheng squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Fifty spirit stones, fast running speed, strong arms, whether it is to lure demon beasts or break off, it is a good choice." ”
"Can I control it? If the activity is okay, that's acceptable. ”
"Absolutely. ”
The bearded man didn't need Wang Changsheng's introduction, he opened the secret door and put the spirit stone in, looking at his skillful techniques, he seemed to have used a puppet beast.
The bearded man manipulated the monkey puppet to move a few steps, and asked his companion to sacrifice a shield, and manipulated the monkey puppet to punch and bombard the shield.
"You puppet beast is not very flexible, fifty yuan is too expensive, forty yuan is about the same. ”
"Daoist friends laughed, the purchase price is forty spirit stones, forty-eight yuan, you have to let me earn some!"
After some bargaining, Wang Changsheng sold the little monkey puppet at the price of forty-six spirit stones.
Selling the ape puppet, Wang Changsheng collected the stall and went home.
When he returned to his lodgings, he slept soundly.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, he began refining the puppet beast.
With his previous successful experience, he refined the puppet beast again, and the success rate was a little higher.
With three materials, it took him five days to refine two ape puppet beasts.
The two ape puppet beasts were sold for forty-seven spirit stones and forty-eight spirit stones respectively.
The three puppet beasts sold one hundred and forty-one spirit stones, costing three hundred spirit stones, losing one hundred and fifty-nine spirit stones, and there were still three bottles of jade and silver powder and three demon rat spirits left.
Wang Changsheng bought four more materials and continued to refine the puppet beast.
It took him seven days to refine three ape puppets, and after selling them, he lost more than ten spirit stones.
Wang Changxue felt that Wang Changsheng was talented in this area, and invested five hundred spirit stones to encourage him to improve his success rate.
Wang Changsheng was very moved, and he was even more serious when refining the puppet beast.
He bought twenty materials in one go, and it took him more than a month to refine seventeen ape puppets.
With the increase in the number of refining, the quality of the puppets refined by Wang Changsheng gradually improved, and the price gradually increased from forty-six yuan to fifty yuan.
From the initial loss, slowly turn to profit.
