"Master, I can't go on!"
"We've been stuck inside for three whole days without going out. You and your senior brother can take it, but I can't. I want to go out and have fun, I want to eat delicious food, I want to go shopping!"
On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Xue finally went on strike and quit.
She threw down the talisman brush in her hand and rushed out of the house with her head down.
"Come back, come back! You haven't finished your work yet! What are you playing around for? Do you have enough spirit stones? Is your wallet full enough?"
Yu Qing grabbed his little apprentice by the back of the collar and dragged him back to the table.
He threw her in front of the pile of talismans, and with spirit stones at the forefront, no one could escape!
At this moment, Yu Qing transforms into an old landlord who oppresses his slaves, frantically squeezing the last bit of value out of his two apprentices.
Lin Xue, who was thrown back onto the table, stared blankly at the pile of talismans in front of her.
She felt like her head was about to explode.
"I can achieve a 100% success rate with these low-level talismans, so they're really not challenging enough, Master. How about I try some mid-level talismans?"
Lin Xue didn't even bother to get the talisman brush; instead, she simply lay down on the table and pushed the pile of talisman papers far away.
Yu Qing looked at his eldest apprentice, who was diligently drawing talismans on the other side, and then at his youngest apprentice, who was lying on the table pretending to be dead.
Sigh, his little apprentice is a delicate and soft-spoken girl, what is he supposed to do?
You can't hit them, and you can't scold them.
"Alright, you can study intermediate-level talismans. Those things are much more powerful than low-level talismans. If you can draw them, we can also dream about getting intermediate-level spirit stones!"
Yu Qing could never harden his heart in front of Lin Xue, and in the end he had no choice but to compromise.
The beginner level of talismans is just a foundational stage. In fact, once you achieve an 80% success rate, you can start researching intermediate talismans.
However, intermediate-level talismans require more spiritual energy. Originally, Yu Qing planned to study intermediate-level talismans after his little apprentice reached the Golden Core stage.
But now that I see my little apprentice is so impatient, I can only let her have her way.
Anyway, with me watching over things, nothing will happen.
"boom!"
The sound of talismans exploding echoed continuously in the room.
The inscription of intermediate-level talismans is much more difficult than that of beginner-level ones.
Back then, Lin Xue successfully drew a basic talisman on her first attempt, and the success rate was not low.
Nowadays, studying intermediate talismans is not so simple; almost all of the first twenty or thirty are rendered useless.
It wasn't until Lin Xue had drawn more than 30 pictures that she finally managed to get one right.
Moreover, it's a defective product, and it could explode at any time.
Defective products with unstable runes like these cannot be sold.
Who knows if this talisman will blow itself up before it even hurts anyone?
After destroying the damaged talisman, Lin Xue continued to summarize her experience and took out a new talisman paper to start carving.
After failing more than a dozen times, I finally got a finished product.
"Master, senior brother, come and see my Blazing Flame Talisman!"
"Explosive Flame Talisman, as the name suggests, is a talisman that can cause a violent explosion when activated, and it also has a burning effect!"
"No wonder you were able to inherit this skill; your talent for drawing talismans is truly unmatched!"
Yu Qing admired his little apprentice's newly created Blazing Flame Talisman, a commonly used type of talisman among mid-level talismans.
If he remembered correctly, such talismans could sell for around seven or eight hundred low-grade spirit stones on the market.
The exchange rate is 1000 low-grade spirit stones for one mid-grade spirit stone.
With just two talismans, they can exchange them for a mid-grade spirit stone.
"That's right, don't you know whose apprentice I am!"
Lin Xue proudly raised her little face; she was a little genius at drawing talismans.
"Then let our little genius draw a few more. Whether Master can get a new set of robes in the future depends entirely on my little apprentice!"
Yu Qing was furious when he thought about how Yun Ya Zi had shown off his new robes to him outside Tianxiang Tower that day!
It's just a robe, isn't it? Why are you making it sound like nobody can't afford one!
Although he still can't afford it himself, doesn't he now have a little apprentice who can earn spirit stones?
"Master, I will try my best!"
Lin Xue, who was being exploited by her master for the first time, suddenly felt a little tired.
She finally experienced what it felt like for the eldest brother to face their master.
Her master seems to have gone bad. Men really do turn bad when they have money!
Despite saying that, Lin Xue still seriously began to inscribe the talismans under her command.
Two days later, Yu Qing called a halt to his two apprentices' training.
"Alright, let's stop drawing talismans from today onwards. The auction in Qingshan City is starting in a couple of days, so we need to go and complete the membership procedures!"
It's true that having money on you means you have nothing to fear.
Initially, Yu Qing only planned to bring his two apprentices to the auction, buy standing tickets in the main hall, and broaden their horizons.
But now that his purse was a little fuller, his little schemes started to take hold.
Although they still couldn't afford most of the auction items.
But buying a better spot is still an option!
"Little apprentice, come with me to the auction to complete the membership procedures."
"Chu Xuan, tidy up our room. Then organize the talismans and tell Tie Suanpan tomorrow morning that we won't be drawing any talismans for the next couple of days. Give him all the ones we have!"
Yu Qing also knew that too much of a good thing could be bad. He had just seen the potential in spirit stones and was quick to make money from them, so he had been putting too much pressure on his two disciples lately.
