I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 526

Chapter 526: Multitasking, Crazy Refining

With this announcement, the Treasure House Master officially established his position before the Treasure House’s senior management.

Things went much simpler afterward.

Even if anyone had other thoughts, they wouldn’t reveal them in front of the Master.

The banquet was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, with many senior officials congratulating Lu Qing and offering to establish friendships with him.

Even Master Qiu, after some adjustment, had calmed down.

He acted as if nothing had happened and also congratulated Lu Qing.

The banquet soon concluded in this harmonious atmosphere.

Lu Qing, led by a maid, arrived at his cave abode.

“Senior Lu, this is your abode. If you need anything, please have us prepare it,” the maid said respectfully.

Lu Qing nodded, “Okay, you may proceed.”

After the maid left, Lu Qing activated the cave abode’s formation and began to survey his new residence.

Xiao Li and Wu Xing emerged from his clothes.

Lu Qing hadn’t allowed them out due to the large crowd at the banquet.

The two little creatures possessed the concealment talismans he had crafted, along with his aura masking their

presence. Even ordinary Yuanshen masters wouldn’t necessarily be able to detect them unless they were searching intently.

Of course, Lu Qing knew that the existence of two Jindan-level spirit pets by his side couldn’t be hidden from anyone.

After all, Xiao Li and the others had appeared when he’d previously been on the teleportation array.

“Ah Qing, is this the cave dwelling the Treasure House has prepared for you? The spiritual energy here is far richer than in the upper room of the inn!”

Xiao Li leaped out, taking in the atmosphere within, and was immediately astonished.

Wu Xing was similarly impressed, already wandering excitedly around the cave.

“Not bad,”

Lu Qing remarked, with great satisfaction.

The upper room of the inn had already helped ease his bottleneck.

The cultivation environment in this cave dwelling was several times better.

This would likely significantly shorten the time it took him to reach the Fourth Jindan stage.

For this reason alone, he felt that his decision to join the Treasure House was well worth it.

After all, what he lacked most now was a good environment for cultivation.

“However, having received so many benefits, it’s time to demonstrate my worth.”

Lu Qing was not the kind of person who would just take benefits without doing any work.

The Treasure House owner was so generous, so he had to give something back.

After letting Xiao Li and the others stay in the cave to cultivate, Lu Qing left the cave and went to meet the Treasure House owner.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, you said you wanted to prepare to refine talismans?”

The Treasure House owner was surprised.

Seeing Lu Qing coming, she originally thought that he had some request.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qing directly said that he wanted to prepare to refine talismans.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, aren’t you a little too impatient? You’re new here, so a few days to get acclimated is fine.”

Lu Qing shook his head. “No need. I don’t like to procrastinate.

Since the owner is so kind to Lu Qing, I want to help you quickly.

By the way, owner, what are the main talismans we sell in our Treasure House right now?”

“Please wait a moment. I’ll have someone come and tell you.”

The owner of the Treasure House thought for a moment, and soon, a woman in a purple robe entered.

It was the charming woman who had once entertained Lu Qing.

“Ziyuan is quite knowledgeable about the talisman sales in our Treasure House. Let her tell you,” the owner said.

“Thank you, Miss Ziyuan,” Lu Qing said politely.

Ziyuan quickly said, “I’m not worthy of the honor. I’d like to know what specifically your Excellency wishes to know?”

“I’d like to know what the better talismans we sell at Treasure House are, what are the most popular talismans, and what is the profit margin.”

Ziyuan paused, concentrating on her thoughts.

“Our best-selling talismans include healing and defensive ones.

Among them, Foundation Establishment-level talismans are the most popular.

This is not only because Foundation Establishment cultivators have the greatest demand for talismans,

but also because Master Wang and his colleagues are particularly skilled in refining talismans of this level.

For talismans above the Golden Core stage, there are very few talisman makers at Treasure House who can create them. The cost is very high, and the production volume is very low.

This results in the relatively high prices of our high-level talismans.

Therefore, cultivators mostly purchase these high-level talismans from the Myriad Aspects Building and the Thousand Machine Workshop.”

Ziyuan explained the situation bit by bit.

“This situation occurs because both Wanxiang Tower and Qianjifang are overseen by talisman-making masters. The high-level talismans they refine are not only of high quality, but also cost less than ours, allowing them to set lower prices.”

At this time, the owner of the Treasure Tower added.

This is also one of the reasons why she values Lu Qing so much.

In the Xiaocang Realm, high-level talisman-making masters are indeed rare, and talisman-making masters are even rarer.

“Is that so?” Lu Qing seemed to be thinking about it.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have any ideas?” the owner of the Treasure Tower asked.

Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Master, to be honest, the talisman tradition I practice is quite special.

When refining talismans, more emphasis is placed on the engraving of rune formations, and the requirements for the talisman carrier are not very high.

So the talismans I refine will be relatively inexpensive. Perhaps we can do something about that?”

“Fellow Daoist Lu, are you serious?”

The Treasure House owner suddenly stood up.

Lu Qing nodded, “Of course I’m not joking.”

“I can’t believe Fellow Daoist Lu’s talisman-making skills have reached such a level!”

The Treasure House owner was truly surprised.

She had originally thought that Lu Qing was only so accomplished in the [Thunder Talisman].

After all, everyone has their own specialties, and it’s normal for a talisman maker to have their own specialty talisman.

Now it seems that he can do the same with all talismans.

If that were the case, it would be truly great news for her Treasure House.

“This way, we can do a lot more. We have to plan carefully!”

The Treasure House owner paced back and forth excitedly, many plans already emerging in her mind.

After walking for a while, she remembered something and asked Lu Qing again, “By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu, what type of talismans are you best at refining?” “

I have dabbled in a lot of things and can refine most types of talismans.

It’s just that due to the limitation of my cultivation level, the highest level of talismans I can refine is currently limited to the Golden Core level.”

Lu Qing answered carefully.

“Most types of talismans can be refined!”

The owner of the Treasure House was shocked again.

Then she became even more excited.

The surprises that Lu Qing brought to her were getting bigger and bigger.

“This matter must be considered in the long run! But Fellow Daoist Lu, could you please make preparations in advance and refine some talismans first and accumulate them?”

“Of course you can, but if you want to refine a large number of talismans, I’m afraid the spiritual jade in my hand is not enough.”

“That’s easy, I’ll ask Ziyuan to send a batch of spiritual jade to the cave residence later.

If there are any other materials you need, just tell Ziyuan directly.

“By the way, Ziyuan, from now on you will be solely responsible for waiting for Fellow Daoist Lu’s orders. You won’t have to stay in the front hall anymore.”

“Yes, Master!”

Ziyuan was overjoyed.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that Lu Qing was now the Master’s most valued asset.

Being able to work by his side was much more promising than just receiving guests in the front hall. “

Miss Ziyuan, I’ll be grateful for

your continued support,” Lu Qing said politely. “I’m not worthy of it. If you have anything to ask,

please just tell me,” Ziyuan said quickly. “Then Lu Qing will leave the Master alone and take his leave.”

Seeing the Master’s excited expression, Lu Qing knew she probably had a lot more to plan.

So, he tactfully excused himself and left.

Ziyuan followed him out.

“Senior Lu, I’ll go to the treasury and get you some spiritual jade.”

“Yes,” Lu Qing nodded, but then added, “You don’t have to get high-quality spiritual jade. Some low- and medium-grade spiritual jade will suffice.” “

Yes.”

Ziyuan agreed.

She thought that Senior Lu was indeed different from others.

When refining talismans, the other talisman makers in the building were eager to apply for all the high-quality materials in the treasure house.

It was inevitable that some of them would embezzle money.

If the owner of the building had not set up many rules, I am afraid that the large amount of inventory materials would not be enough for them to squander.

When it came to Lu Qing, it was obvious that the owner valued him so much that it would not be a problem to apply for more precious materials.

But Lu Qing had no such intention at all. He only wanted the middle and low-grade spiritual jade.

Thinking of this, Ziyuan looked at Lu Qing with respect.

Lu Qing was confused for a while.

Of course, he didn’t know about these intriguing things in the Treasure House.

Even if he knew, he would not be interested.

With his personality, he would not eat human offerings, but still embezzle them.

“Senior Lu, I have brought the spiritual jade. Do you think it is suitable for you? “

Not long after returning to the cave from the owner of the Treasure House, Ziyuan brought the spiritual jade that Lu Qing needed from the treasury.

“So many!”

Lu Qing took the storage bag that Ziyuan brought and checked it with the power of his soul, a little surprised.

There were at least a dozen spiritual jades in the storage bag.

They were all high-quality spiritual jades that had been tempered. Even the low-grade spiritual jades were of much better quality than what he usually used.

But the spiritual jades in this storage bag were already very valuable.

“The talisman makers in the building don’t use much medium and low-grade spiritual jades on a daily basis. People

like Master Qiu need at least high-grade spiritual jades to refine talismans.

That is, their disciples or apprentices will use some low-grade spiritual jades when they practice making talismans on a daily basis.

So there are quite a lot of medium and low-grade spiritual jades accumulated in the treasury, so I took them all here.”

Ziyuan explained.

“Those guys are really extravagant. “Lu Qing couldn’t help but say.

At the same time, he sighed again at the heritage of the Treasure House.

You know, the spiritual jade he used was already of very good quality in his hometown world.

But when he came here, the low-grade spiritual jade was just the material that other people’s apprentices would use to practice.

The gap is huge, it goes without saying.

No wonder Master Wang and others were so surprised when they saw that the [Thunder Talisman] was refined with low-grade spiritual jade.

However, it may also be because there are too many good materials to squander in this world.

This is why when refining talismans, they rely more on material carriers, rather than studying how rune formations can be better integrated into the talismans to exert their ultimate power.

“After all, poverty makes people progress.”

Lu Qing couldn’t help complaining in his heart.

“Senior Lu, is there anything else you need me to do?”

Ziyuan asked at this time.

“Not for the time being. If there is anything, I will find you. By the way, take these two jade talismans. “

Lu Qing took out two jade talismans and handed them over.

Ziyuan took them and found that one of them was a communication talisman, and the other was actually a Jindan-level talisman. It was

also the [Thunder Talisman] that she was quite familiar with!

“Senior Lu, this is…”

Ziyuan was holding the two jade talismans, a little at a loss.

“Take it, the communication talisman is for my convenience to summon you in the future, and as for this [Thunder Talisman], it is for your self-defense.” Lu Qing said.

“But Senior Lu, this is too expensive!” Ziyuan’s hands trembled a little.

The value of a [Thunder Talisman] is not cheap, it is equivalent to her monthly salary for a long time.

She has been working in the Treasure House for so long, and she is reluctant to buy a Jindan-level talisman for self-defense.

“It doesn’t matter, it’s not difficult for me to refine these little things, just take it. Lu Qing waved his hand, dismissing the idea.

After Ziyuan left, looking somewhat dazed, Lu Qing returned to the cave and deployed the defensive formations to prevent interruptions. He then

reached into his storage bag and pulled out several pieces of low-grade spiritual jade.

“Let’s refine a batch of talismans first to test the waters. It’s a good opportunity to try that trick as well.”

Feeling the spiritual energy emanating from the jade in his hand, Lu Qing’s eyes lit up with excitement.

He then tossed the jade in his hand, and three pieces of low-grade jade floated in front of him.

Then, with his mind invigorating, he drew with his ten fingers.

Numerous talismans emerged from thin air, like birds flying into a forest, disappearing into the three pieces of low-grade jade before him.

If Master Wang and the others had witnessed this scene, they would surely have been horrified.

Lu Qing was actually refining three talismans simultaneously!

And judging by the runes he was sketching, he was refining the Jindan-level [Thunder Talisman]!

Refining three talismans simultaneously didn’t slow Lu Qing’s refining speed much.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three [Thunder Talismans] were refined and fell into his hands.

After sensing the talismans’ contents and finding no flaws, Lu Qing nodded with satisfaction.

“Yes, the art of splitting the soul is indeed profound. It allows me to divide my attention and do multiple things. Even delicate work like refining talismans is not affected at all.”

Yes, the reason why Lu Qing was able to refine three talismans at the same time

was precisely because of the secret method of the Puppet Sect he had obtained from the Third Saint Lord, the art of splitting the soul.

The art of splitting the soul can not only cultivate the seeds of the soul and differentiate into clones of the soul.

It can also allow one’s mind and will to be differentiated and divided into multiple things without interfering with each other.

However, this was the first time Lu Qing used it in the way of talismans and refined several talismans at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good.

In this way, the effect of his refining talismans can be greatly increased again.

Lu Qing’s mind moved, and he took out several pieces of spirit jade again and threw them in front of him.

And this time, the number of spirit jade was even more than before.

No longer three pieces, but nine pieces!
