Several days later.
Lin Xiuyuan kept only a few of the finished talismans he had made over the days for self-defense, and sold most of them.
Their savings were running low, and with martial law in place in the city, they had no enemies, so the danger was minimal.
With the prices of various resources in the market rising, naturally more sales mean more profit.
Each talisman earns about ten more low-grade spirit stones than usual. However, the cost of materials has also increased, so the total profit isn't that much, but it's still at least five more spirit stones.
As time goes by, prices are expected to rise further. Currently, with war raging, the consumption of various resources will clearly continue to increase.
After all, almost all talisman masters have been recruited by Beihefang City. Apart from talisman masters like Lin Xiuyuan who can guarantee a high success rate, it is conceivable that the number of talismans in circulation will gradually decrease.
Seeing that the number of spirit stones in his Qiankun bag had reached five hundred again, Lin Xiuyuan felt relieved, knowing that his cultivation resources for this month were secured.
Although he had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, he still mainly relied on the Condensed Jade Pill, which was quite expensive.
Lin Xiuyuan returned to the right district and went directly to the northwest, to the conscription hall that was closer to his home.
Before long, the Hall of Summoning appeared before them.
Lin Xiuyuan's gaze fell on a large building next to him.
This is the place of the summons. It was Lin Xiuyuan's first time here, and he felt no apprehension. After all, it was a mission to summon talisman masters, and since there was no danger, there was nothing to worry about.
"Who goes there? State your name!"
There were two guards at the late stage of Qi Refining standing in front of the gate. Their cold gazes swept over Lin Xiuyuan, and one of them shouted a question.
Lin Xiuyuan clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "I am Lin Xiuyuan, a guest master of the Golden Edge Pavilion and a talisman master. I have come here in response to the call to arms."
The man sized up Lin Xiuyuan, then took out the jade slip to examine it. His expression softened slightly, and he nodded to Lin Xiuyuan, saying, "Go in. Someone will make arrangements for you inside."
Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands in greeting and strolled inside.
Continue walking along the corridor inside.
The passageway is not long, only about ten meters.
Upon reaching the end, one discovers an extremely vast space.
Looking around, there were rows of standard talisman-making tables in front of me; at a glance, there were at least a thousand of them.
At this moment, behind many talisman-making tables stood talisman masters, with only a few vacancies.
As the deadline approached, most people arrived early to see what was going on.
Now, it's quite obvious.
At first glance, it's utterly bewildering, resembling those sweatshops from a past life...
At this moment, a portly man walked over, scrutinizing Lin Xiuyuan's face as he approached, and then delving into the jade slip in his hand with his divine sense to search for information about Lin Xiuyuan.
When he arrived, he had already found Lin Xiuyuan's information. He then took out a book from his Qiankun bag, wrote it down with a pen, and said:
"Lin Xiuyuan, right? A mid-level talisman master? This is the second talisman master recruitment area. I am the supervisor here, my surname is Huang, and my given name is Pengcai. You can call me Supervisor Huang. Your talisman-making station is located at number 507."
"Deliver one mid-tier talisman every two days, any type. All materials will be provided by the City Lord's Mansion; collect them from me daily..."
"Furthermore, every day upon arrival here, Steward Chen will cast a restrictive spell, preventing any items, materials, or talismans from being taken out of this place..."
Huang Pengcai seemed to have said this set of words many times, and was extremely familiar with it. He quickly finished his long speech in a very fast tone.
"Is there anything else you don't understand?"
Lin Xiuyuan clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Manager Huang. I understand everything."
Seeing this, Huang Peng casually tossed an identity token to Lin Xiuyuan, and seeing that more people were coming, he left.
Lin Xiuyuan fiddled with the token in his hand for a moment, then clipped it to his waist and walked forward.
To enter the talisman-making area, you need to pass through a passageway first.
Beside the passageway was a small table with some spiritual tea on it, and behind the table sat an old man with white hair and beard.
He was thin and very old, with skin like a dry layer of skin, full of wrinkles.
He looks like an ordinary old man.
But no one dared to underestimate him, regarding him as just an ordinary old man.
Although the aura emanating from him was very peaceful, upon closer inspection, one could clearly perceive a feeling that stirred a strange unease in one's heart.
Sure enough, this was the spiritual energy belonging to the Foundation Establishment level.
This seemingly unremarkable old man is actually a Foundation Establishment expert!
"Thank you for your trouble, Deacon Chen."
Lin Xiuyuan walked closer and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.
Deacon Chen was sitting comfortably in his recliner, rocking back and forth. Hearing the voices, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Lin Xiuyuan indifferently.
Then, with a seemingly casual wave of his hand, a ray of spiritual light appeared and instantly landed on Lin Xiuyuan.
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan clearly realized that the Qiankun Bag had been sealed and could no longer store items.
The other person closed their eyes again and swayed back and forth on the recliner.
Lin Xiuyuan remained calm, respectfully cupped his hands in greeting, and then left.
After passing through this passageway, you will enter the talisman-making area.
Looking at the orderly rows of talisman-making tables, and the talisman masters standing behind them.
Lin Xiuyuan's expression was inscrutable, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of disorientation, much like when he first stepped into a factory to work in his previous life...
"Now my training time has been forced to be reduced, but fortunately the rewards are pretty good. With my success rate, I can guarantee that I'll be able to pay in full every month."
Lin Xiuyuan was speechless. He never expected that even after arriving in the world of cultivation, he would still be exploited for his labor.
However, they are not the same sweatshops after all. The recruitment task given by Beihefang City seemed harsh, but after learning about it from Huang Pengcai, it turned out to be quite good.
