Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery

According to the descriptions in the ”Great Sun Sword Cultivation Method (Jiang Ding Edition),” any qualified First-Order talisman paper could be used to make a Talisman Sword and practice the first layer of the Sword Technique, but naturally, he wouldn’t settle for just that.

He immediately collected the specimen and released the Blue Luminous Butterfly, his figure vanishing in a flash.

After the Cui Bird took away the Blue Luminous Butterfly and the specimen, Jiang Ding turned on the computer, logged onto ’Rongshu Net’ and began searching for materials related to talisman paper.

During this period, Jiang Ding had all of the specimens collected, including the Blue-Gold ”Blue-Gold 2413” component of the Blue Luminous Butterfly, expedited to the laboratory that discovered it — Beidou University’s Affiliated Biological Research Center — commissioning them to extract the substance. The price was one tenth of all the blue luminous butterflies collected.

”Qingzhi Rune Paper Co., Ltd., produces First-Order Qingzhi Rune Paper. With an affordable price and stable spiritual power, it is the perfect companion for your talismanic path. One sheet for only 9.3 Spirit coins or 3,500 Mortal coins.”

”First-Order Feima Spell Paper, produced by the Feima Group, offers high quality at a low price, and express delivery within one day in Qian Province. Only 9.2 Spirit coins or 3,400 Mortal coins.”

...

A whole row of information refreshed on the screen.

Only cultivators can produce First-Order spell papers, and they must be purchased with Spirit coins.

Moreover, if mortals or mortal-made machines are involved in the production process of the rune paper, Mortal coins are also required for payment.

The First-Order spell paper is a fully competitive and mature market with little price variation, mostly around 9 Spirit coins.

The price isn’t cheap; a Qi Practicing Phase cultivator without special skills often earns only one Spirit coin for a day’s work.

Although the Xianmen Sect doesn’t support exchange between Spirit coins and Mortal coins, it doesn’t prohibit it either.

On online intermediary platforms, one Spirit coin often sells for a price of twelve or thirteen hundred Mortal coins, with occasional fluctuations.

”Special First-Order spell paper.”

Jiang Ding changed his search criteria.

”First-Order Qinglin Paper, made from the scales of First-Order monster Qingyu Carp, offers a boon to the drawing of water attribute spells. Depending on the circumstances, it can enhance the power of First-Order water attribute spells by 5%-10%, priced at 26 Spirit coins or 18,300 Mortal coins.”

That price is a lot more expensive.

It’s nearly a month’s salary for a Qi Practicing Phase cultivator at the earlier stages, and the boost is less than ten percent; a luxury suited for the wealthy.

Jiang Ding looked at one after another, and finally took a liking to a few.

”First-Order Gold Iron Carp Talisman Paper, made from the scales of First-Order monster Gold Iron Carp, enhances the casting of gold attribute spells. Depending on the circumstances, it can amplify the power of First-Order spells by 20%-25%, priced at 80 Spirit coins or 85,000 Mortal coins.”

Hiss~

Jiang Ding took a sharp breath; for a mere 10% increase in spell power, the price had nearly quadrupled.

As for the fact that they were all some type of carp, he was aware of that.

The Xianmen Sect had already conquered spirit beast breeding technology, and among them, various carps like Qingyu and Grass Carp had been bred over the years as the highest meat-producing spirit beasts. Their flesh, bones, scales, and skin all have a wide range of uses. They are extensively farmed in the Xianmen Sect’s seas, and legends even speak of a Golden Core period Fish King.

”First-Order Spirit Nurturing Paper, made from the leaves of the ninth generation Spirit Nurturing Tree propagated through cutting, aged one hundred and thirty-five years. Depending on the circumstances, it can enhance First-Order illusion and Divine Sense spells by 30%-50%, priced at 641 Spirit coins or 4.52 million Mortal coins.”

Way too expensive.

Jiang Ding glanced at it and gave up immediately. Even if he sold all three of his centennial Spirit Ginseng, he wouldn’t be able to afford it. Such items related to one’s Divine Soul are far too costly and yield a low cost-performance ratio.

For an ordinary Qi Practicing Phase cultivator in the early to mid-stages, it would take more than ten years of wages, without eating or drinking, to afford it.
