Chapter 66： Loss turns to profit

Came to Wang Changxue's stall, Wang Changsheng took out the little monkey puppet.

"Ninth brother, have you really made a puppet beast?"

Wang Changxue said in surprise, her eyes were full of incredible colors.

To be honest, she actually didn't have any hope for Wang Changsheng. If puppet beasts were so easy to refine, there wouldn't be only two shops selling puppet beasts in the White Dragon Valley.

Wang Changsheng gave her three hundred spirit stones before, but she just returned the spirit stones to Wang Changsheng. She thought that after Wang Changsheng failed several times, he should give up, but he never thought that Wang Changsheng had really refined the puppet beast.

"Hey, second sister, have you forgotten the third uncle? When I was a child, I learned to carve puppets with him. Later, my father found out and reprimanded me severely, so I stopped carving puppets."

The third uncle, Wang Yaojian, came from a secular background. His father was a carpenter. When he was six years old, he was detected to have spiritual roots and was taken to Qinglian Mountain to start practicing.

Wang Yaojian is of the Five Spiritual Roots, and his aptitude is very poor. He is not very interested in cultivation, and is more interested in carving puppets.

By chance, Wang Changsheng saw the puppets carved by Wang Yaojian, which were lifelike. He liked them so much that he begged Wang Yaojian to teach him to carve puppets.

From then on, whenever he was free, Wang Changsheng would go to Wang Yaojian's residence to learn to carve puppets.

Wang Yaojian has one wife and one concubine, and gave birth to three boys and two girls. He has no spiritual roots. He regards the "long" generation as his children. Wang Changsheng is his favorite grand-nephew. He taught him everything he knew. Wang Changsheng.

Wang Yaojian's sculptor is very good. The joints of the puppets he made are extremely smooth and move freely. He even imitated his own facial features and made a human-shaped puppet, which was very realistic. Under Wang Yaojian's careful teaching, Wang Changsheng made rapid progress.

The good times didn't last long. By chance, Wang Mingyuan discovered that Wang Changsheng had time to not practice, so he went to learn to carve puppets.

Wang Mingyuan severely reprimanded Wang Changsheng, saying that he played with things and lost his mind, and burned all the puppets with a torch. Since then, Wang Changsheng has never carved puppets again.

When he grew up, Wang Changsheng thought that he was absurd when he remembered this past event, but now it seems that if he hadn't learned to carve puppets with Wang Yaojian, he might not have been able to make a puppet beast.

Of course, there is a more important reason for him to be able to refine puppets. His divine sense is much stronger than that of monks of the same level.

When he was eight years old, by chance, he discovered that his consciousness seemed to be stronger than that of a cultivator of the same level, and he casually told Wang Mingyuan.

Wang Mingyuan actually invited Wang Yaozong. Wang Yaozong personally inspected it, and even used a magic weapon. Nothing was found. However, he confirmed that Wang Changsheng's expression was indeed stronger than that of a monk of the same rank. He told Wang Changsheng not to tell others.

Wang Changsheng originally practiced the "Autumn Water Art". At that time, he had already cultivated to the first level of Qi Refining. However, after finding that his consciousness was stronger than that of a monk of the same level, Wang Mingyuan asked him to revise the "Cloud Rain Art". He doesn't tell anyone.

"Cloud Rain Art" and "Autumn Water Art" are both water attribute exercises, Wang Changsheng didn't care, but re-cultivation, causing Wang Changsheng to waste more than a year in vain.

Wang Changsheng didn't take it seriously either. A strong sense of consciousness would not help his cultivation, that is, to control a few more spiritual tools. He didn't expect that a strong sense of spirit would be helpful for refining puppet beasts.

Of course, in order to refine this little monkey puppet, he used five materials, and the puppet beasts that have always been the first-order low-grade are sold on the market with more than 60 spirit stones.

Back then, Mu Yuyan sold the little monkey puppet beast for fifty spirit stones, which was definitely cheaper than the puppet beast in the store.

This is also the norm. The goods in the small stalls are cheaper than those in the shops. If the prices are the same, why don’t others buy them in the shops. At least if there is a problem with the quality, they can come to the door to ask for an explanation. The stall owners of the small stalls are erratic. There is no place to cry.

Wang Changxue suddenly realized, and said with a chuckle, "Remember, why don't I remember, if it wasn't for the third aunt to stop you, the third uncle would open your **** and spend it. How many spirit stones do you plan to sell for this puppet beast?"

Wang Changsheng thought for a while, and said, "The first-order low-grade puppets on the market sell for 60 spirit stones. Let's sell them at a lower price, 50 yuan!"

"Fifty yuan? Would it be too little? Fifty-five yuan!"

Wang Changsheng shook his head and said, "There are only five spirit stones left, why don't others go to the Heavenly Armament Tower to buy them? Besides, my puppet beast is not good at refining, it's better to sell it if it is cheaper, second sister, you are tired too. Now, go back and rest! I'll look at the stall."

Wang Changxue didn't object either. After a few words of advice, he left.

Time passed and the sky darkened.

The dim sum in the booth was all sold out, and only the little monkey puppet was left. Several monks asked for the price, but they didn't buy it. They thought it was too expensive. The price they offered was too low, and Wang Changsheng refused.

Wang Changsheng is not discouraged. If he really can't sell it, he will keep it for himself. The monster beasts in the White Dragon Mountains are rich in resources, and it will be safer to have a puppet beast to help.

He took out the "Mu's Artifact Refining Secret Book" and flipped through it.

"How do you sell this puppet beast?"

A somewhat rough man's voice entered Wang Changsheng's ears.

Wang Changsheng looked up and saw three men and one woman standing in front of the booth. The leader was a man in his 40s with a long beard. The man was tall and full of flesh, giving people a vicious feeling.

Wang Changsheng squeezed a smile on his face and said, "Fifty spiritual stones, fast running speed and strong arms, whether it is to lure monsters or break off, it is a good choice."

"Can I control it? If there is no problem with the activity, it is acceptable."

"of course can."

Without any introduction from Wang Changsheng, the bearded man opened the secret door and put the spirit stone in. Judging by his skillful technique, he seemed to have used a puppet beast.

The big bearded man controlled the little monkey puppet to walk a few steps, and asked his companions to throw out a shield and controlled the monkey puppet to bombard the shield with his fists.

"You puppet beast is not very flexible. Fifty yuan is too expensive, and forty yuan is about the same."

"Fellow Daoist is joking, the purchase price is forty spirit stones, forty-eight, you must let me earn some!"

After a lot of bargaining, Wang Changsheng sold the little monkey puppet at the price of forty-six spirit stones.

After selling the monkey puppet, Wang Changsheng closed the stall and went home.

Back at his residence, he had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, he began to refine puppet beasts.

With the previous successful experience, he refined the puppet beast again, and the success rate was higher.

With three materials, he spent five days refining two ape puppet beasts.

The two ape and puppet beasts were sold for forty-seven and forty-eight spirit stones respectively.

The three puppet beasts sold 141 spirit stones, costing 300 spirit stones, and lost 159 spirit stones, leaving three bottles of jade and silver powder and three demon rat spirits.

Wang Changsheng bought four more materials and continued to refine the puppet beast.

It took him seven days to refine three ape puppets. After selling them, he lost more than ten spirit stones.

Wang Changxue felt that Wang Changsheng had talent in this area, and invested another 500 spiritual stones to encourage him to improve his success rate.

Wang Changsheng was very moved, and became more serious when refining puppet beasts.

He bought twenty materials in one go, and spent more than a month refining seventeen ape puppets.

With the increase of refining times, the quality of the puppets made by Wang Changsheng gradually improved, and the price gradually increased from 46 yuan to 50 yuan. Even so, the monkey puppets were put up and sold quickly.

From the initial loss, slowly turned to profit.
