Chapter 67: Spirit Sulfur and Malachite
The completion of a talisman contains three parts, one is the rune paper, the second is the rune ink and rune pen for drawing the rune, and the third is the mana that retains it.
Rune paper is a part of the foundation, and it can retain mana because it has been soaked in several spirit ore liquids, and the main components of spirit mineral liquid are spirit sulfur and malachite.
With Junshan Mobile's large-scale acquisition of rune paper, there has been a shortage of rune paper supply in the market, and the reason for the shortage is the insufficient supply of Linghuang and malachite.
Guo Zhiwei and Long Qingzhen came to Zhao Ran to discuss this problem.
Zhao Ran didn't have a good way, these two materials, Da Ming was not very lacking originally, but that was because it was not easy to refine the talismans, and the quantity was not as good as it is now, so it did not appear.
Now that the cost of a flying talisman has dropped to one-fiftieth of the original one, and the production is bound to skyrocket by at least fifty times, the problem is immediately highlighted. Not to mention that there are several other commonly used talismans as well.
Guo Zhiwei didn't expect Zhao Ran to come up with a fundamental solution immediately, the two heard that the Jimingguan inspection team seized a sea ship last month and confiscated a shipload of goods, including a large amount of spirit sulfur and malachite, so they came to ask for it to solve their urgent needs.
Zhao Ran immediately called Pei Zhonglu over and asked if there was such a thing, and Pei Zhongxi replied that there was, this was the sixth smuggling ship that Gu Kexue had handed over to her this year.
The goods on the ship have not yet been processed, and they happened to be purchased by Junshan Mobile, this batch of spirit sulfur and malachite is enough to soak tens of thousands of knife rune paper, which can refine more than one million talismans, enough for Junshan Mobile to use for four to five months.
After the imminent problem was solved, Zhao Ran began to consider the problem of spirit sulfur and malachite.
He first called Gu Kexue and asked, "Where is the smuggling ship that you confiscated before?"
Gu Kexue replied, "It's from Lingao Island." ”
"Is it from Lingao Island again?"
"Uh...... Subordinates are ashamed......"
"Ran away again? Which group didn't check it?"
"Group B, Liu Chujiu them. It was another temporary encounter, and Group B fought before they had time to call for reinforcements. ”
"Call them in. ”
Liu Chujiu, Qian Xundaotong and Lin Ayu came to see Zhao Ran, but Zhao Ran didn't reprimand them for not being able to catch people - there were too few people, it was easy to detain the boat, and it was more difficult to catch people back.
The object of Zhao Ran's questioning was mainly Qianxun Daotong, who was an expert on overseas issues among Zhao Ran's subordinates.
"Qianxun, there are a large number of spirit sulfur and malachite in the sea ships you seized this time, do you know where the origin is?"
Qianxun Daotong raised his hand enthusiastically: "I know, I know! ”
"Sulphur Island, just because of the production of spirit sulfur and malachite?"
"That's right!"
"Where is Sulphur Island?"
"It's far away, I don't know where it is, I haven't been there. ”
"Who's the owner?"
"I don't know ......"
"Well, who could possibly know?"
"The people of Lingao Island!"
“......”
"Is there anything else the abbot would like to ask?"
"Alright, go back. ”
Zhao Ran came to the cultivation certificate management room and asked people to type out the list of monks who had applied for the cultivation certificate, and the long list search was dozens of pages long, and there were thousands of people.
Remove more than 300 of them from the land monks, and there are more than 800 people, take a quick look, there is not a single monk from Lingao Island, which makes Zhao Ran a little annoyed, the people of Lingao Island really don't give face to the poor.
After carefully checking it, he saw the name of the person who didn't save the Taoist, and immediately slapped his thigh: "How did I forget this?"
Zhao Ranfei Fu was running around outside Su Chuanyao: "Where are you?
Su Chuanyao immediately replied: "The disciple is in the Huimin Ji Medical Hall, and the seniors who don't save him are also here." Does the teacher want to see her?"
"Yes, please don't save the Taoist to come to the rooster song. ”
Su Chuanyao quickly bandaged the wound of an injured person, earned a trace of merit, and then went to the clinic to find someone who could not save the Taoist.
The Huimin Ji Medical Hall prepared by the capital was just opened last month, and at the beginning of the opening, it was praised by the people for its low diagnosis and treatment fees and very low drug prices, so that Su Chuan Medicine, who was cultivating the sea of merit and strength, had a great harvest, plus the merits obtained from the previous demolition of the fishing village, Su Chuan Medicine was cultivated in merit and strength, and the cultivation of the Taoist realm was extremely fast, and he was about to be completed soon, and he was ready to enter the Yushi.
Compared with Zhao Ran, Su Chuanyao's cultivation of the "Innate Merit Sutra" is very happy, because she does not have to be like Zhao Ran, who desperately pursues official assignments in order to get the exercises in the next chapter. When you need the next chapter of exercises, Su Chuanyao can ask for it directly from the teacher.
There was a long queue outside the clinic of Jimin Hui Medical Hall, and people who couldn't afford to hire a doctor came here, and even many big families, who heard that it was the immortal master who sat for a consultation, also came here to seek treatment, of course, they also had to queue up honestly.
The fact that she was able to become famous in a short period of time largely depends on her midwifery skills. In the past few months, she has delivered babies to dozens of families with difficult births, with a success rate of 90%, saving the lives of more than 30 mothers and children.
When Su Chuanyao entered, the Daoist had just finished treating a patient, so he hurriedly conveyed the teacher's invitation to her.
The rescuer shook his head and said, "There's no time, don't you see so many patients outside the door?" ”
Su Chuanyao was helpless, and gave Zhao Ran a reply that he did not save the Taoist, and at the same time added the situation that in the Huimin Ji Medical Hall, the people were waiting in a large group for diagnosis and treatment.
When it was almost evening, as soon as the Daoist sent the last patient away, Zhao Ran turned his wheelchair and came to see the Daoist.
"Why is the teacher here?"
"I've seen Abbot Zhao. ”
"It's a poor road during the day, so wait until this moment to come. There are a few questions that the poor Dao wants to ask if he does not save the Taoist. ”
"Abbot, please. ”
"Sulphur Island, do you know the Taoist?"
Bu replied: "I've heard of it, but I haven't been there." There was no one on the island, so I didn't go because there was no one to see. ”
Zhao Ran asked: "Uninhabited, then which owner does this island belong to?"
"There is no island owner, in fact, I heard that many people go to Sulphur Island to dig up spirit sulfur and malachite, and then pull it to the Central Plains to sell ......"
After chatting with the non-saver for a while, and seeing that the non-saver didn't know much, Zhao Ran went back to the Jiming Temple and re-browsed the list of monks.
After that, Zhao Ranfei Fu Li Dayin: "Lao Li, where is that Wang Chengyu now?"
Li Dayin replied: "I've returned to Songjiang." ”
"When will he be back?"
"When he needs to return to Beijing, he can return to Beijing whenever he wants. ”
Hearing that Abbot Zhao wanted to see him, Wang Chengyu immediately rushed back from Songjiang, followed Li Da to hide him, and came to the Jiming Temple.
Zhao Ran asked: "Lao Li is healed?
Li Dayin said with a smile: "After sitting for half a year, I have already adjusted it." As he spoke, he let the person behind him: "This is Wang Chengyu, a returnee monk." ”
