All the materials for making talismans are provided by Beihe Market, and Beihe Market will buy every talisman made from them at half price.
No materials are required; all that's needed is labor. While there are no basic offerings, there will be payment. It's essentially piecework, except there's no basic salary.
Of course, if the monthly payment of talismans is insufficient, a fine will be imposed, and the amount of the missing talismans will be deducted in spirit stones equal to the market price.
Conversely, if you deliver the full amount of talismans each month, you'll receive extra contribution points. Similar to what you did at the Recruitment Hall, you can exchange these points for resources at the North River Market. There are even incentive programs available!
Overall, if we disregard personal practice time, this benefit is quite good, and compared to the usual period, it's an excellent way to acquire resources. It only requires time and labor.
For most talisman masters, refining a talisman in two days is a bit of a tight schedule, but it's still achievable if material costs aren't a concern.
It can be described as a "conscientious company"!
From the general public's perspective, it's indeed quite good. But from another perspective, it's not so 'conscientious'. Because for a talisman master like Lin Xiuyuan with a good success rate, time is undoubtedly the most important factor.
Like Lin Xiuyuan, he is fully capable of being self-sufficient, ensuring a relatively superior cultivation environment, and continuously, steadily, and rapidly improving himself.
The fact that so much time is now being spent on Beihefang City is undoubtedly a terrible situation.
But since it was mandatory, there was no other choice. Lin Xiuyuan sighed and could only accept this arrangement.
Upon arriving at his "workstation," Lin Xiuyuan saw two familiar faces. They were none other than his neighbor and colleague, Qin Lao, a guest talisman master from Jinyuan Pavilion.
Beside them was a woman with a graceful figure. From the side or even from behind, she was undoubtedly stunning and breathtaking, especially with her fiery red hair, which added to her allure.
But when she looked up, a huge scar ran across her entire face. The dried flesh was twisted and rolled up, writhing like a centipede, extremely grotesque and terrifying to behold.
All the thoughts that arose in one's mind vanished instantly, leaving one speechless and even causing a gasp of surprise.
Lin Xiuyuan walked forward calmly. He had met this person a few times before, when he went to Jinyuan Pavilion to deliver the talisman, but they had never met.
All I know is that the other party is also a guest of Jinyuan Pavilion and is a senior mid-level talisman master.
"Elder Qin, it seems they divided it according to the information provided by Jinyuan Pavilion. That's good, since it's somewhat familiar."
"Yes, alas, I never thought I would encounter forced conscription in my lifetime. The last time it happened was hundreds of years ago, during the great battle with the Demon Realm's Barbarian Demon Palace," Old Qin said, shaking his head.
"Who can argue with that? The cultivation world is never short of conflict."
Lin Xiuyuan greeted Elder Qin, then looked at the woman with a ferocious face and said, "I have seen you several times at Jinyuan Pavilion, but I have not yet had the pleasure of asking your name. My surname is Lin, and my given name is Xiuyuan."
The other person merely looked up at him indifferently, their gaze calm and detached, and nodded slightly without saying anything.
At this moment, Elder Qin stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Fellow Daoist Huo is naturally aloof and not good at dealing with people, Master Lin, please don't take it to heart."
"I see. I was being presumptuous." Lin Xiuyuan didn't mind, cupped his hands again, and didn't force a conversation.
Before long, a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining came over carrying a Qiankun bag and said, "Senior, what kind of talisman do you wish to refine?"
"Let's use an evil-repelling talisman!"
"Alright, senior, here are your five sets of materials and the standard talisman pen. If it's not enough, you can call me over to supplement it. Leave the remaining materials on the talisman-making table and wait for the next refining."
The man took out the materials for five talismans and placed them on the talisman-making table. He then said goodbye and left.
Lin Xiuyuan sighed inwardly, shook his head, and picked up the talisman brush.
The reason for choosing the talisman is that its success rate is relatively low, so this is a good opportunity to add some purple light.
After all, if he were to refine the few talismans he was good at, he could leave this place in less than an hour.
Lin Xiuyuan didn't want to stand out too much, and if he deliberately interrupted halfway, he would easily give himself away.
However, after spending some time at this No. 2 talisman-making field, Lin Xiuyuan realized that he had been too cautious and there was no need to worry about standing out.
