"Ten thousand?"
Taoist Deming opened his mouth wide in shock, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
It was an order from all the forces in the Ancient Martial World. Talisman? The total annual order from the three mountains was only this number. However, Ding Ning asked for ten thousand talismans, which meant that he would order in large quantities in the future. This made him happy and worried. With the ability of the Maoshan Sect, he could not supply them at all.
"What's wrong? You don't even have ten thousand? "
Ding Ning asked with some disappointment. Ten thousand was just his initial estimate. The talisman paper now would be of great use in the future.
He had always been prepared for a rainy day. It was only a matter of time before the Three Realms fell into chaos. Once the situation really collapsed, he had no idea if the communication on Earth could still be maintained. Perhaps when the time came, only this most primitive method of communication would be able to be unimpeded.
"No, no, no, we do. We do. We just don't know if you would mind if all of them are talisman papers produced by our Maoshan Sect."
Taoist Deming waved his hand repeatedly. His old face was flushed, and he asked with excitement and anxiety.
Master Zhang's eyes also brightened. He looked at Ding Ning expectantly. He had already understood what Taoist Deming meant. Maoshan Sect could not handle this order, so he had to ask Dragon Tiger Mountain and Gezao Mountain to take this order together.
If Dragon Tiger Mountain could get a share of this big order, it would be great. Although they knew that Maoshan Sect would definitely take a large part of this order, and Dragon Tiger Mountain and Gezao Mountain could only be regarded as processing, and their profits would be exploited, they would definitely agree. After all, they had not had a good time these years.
"That doesn't matter. As long as the quality is not affected, it will be no problem."
Ding Ning immediately understood his idea and said indifferently, but he was secretly proud. He could give talismans to others? The three mountains all worked for him. This was not something that ordinary people could do.
"Then there is no problem."
Taoist Deming breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"However, I have a time requirement. You must get it out within three months at the latest. Of course, it would be better if you could get it out sooner."
The Devil Abyss would open in at most four months. He still needed to leave one month to modify the Message Talisman, so three months was the deadline he could accept.
Both Daoist Deming and Heaven Master Zhang's expressions changed. They cried out involuntarily, "It's impossible. It's impossible to make 10,000 Messaging Charms in three months. Does he need our charms? Everything from the Three Mountains can be used to make talismans? All of our disciples worked overtime for more than half a year before we were able to rush it out. "
Ding Ning was dumbfounded. Damn it, more than half a year? Not to mention the Demon Abyss, even the Demon Prison should have returned. By that time, the cucumber would have been cold. What was the point of having a Message Talisman?
In his mind, talisman? Since the Three Mountains had sold so many Communication Talismans, they must have been able to produce them on an assembly line. Was it that difficult to produce ten thousand talismans in three months?
Daoist Deming saw that he was not worried, so he hurriedly explained, "It's not that easy to make a Messaging Charm. The total number of disciples in the Three Mountains did not exceed three thousand. How could one be able to inscribe talismans? Talisman? At most, we can make 30% of them, but only one-tenth of them can make the standard Flying Bird Charm. That is to say, talisman? Only a hundred people can make a Messaging Charm at most in the Three Mountains. "
"A hundred people is not a small number. If each person can make ten talismans a day, that's two thousand talismans a day. Can't we finish the task in five days? Why does it take more than half a year? "
Ding Ning asked in confusion.
"Ten talismans a day?"
Daoist Deming and Heaven Master Zhang's eyes almost popped out. They cried out involuntarily.
Then Daoist Deming said helplessly, "Young Master Ding, do you think it's easy to make talismans? It's like a primary school student's scribbling. It's not that simple at all. It's good enough if each person can make one talisman a day without any mistakes. If there is a mistake, even 50 talismans can't be guaranteed. So, to be on the safe side, we can only guarantee success for about 80 talismans a day, allowing a 20% error rate. "
"80 talismans a day, about 2,400 in a month, and 4,000 in three months at most …"
Heaven Master Zhang was calculating on the side.
"Wait … wait … 2,400 in a month, why can you only make 4,000 in three months? Did your PE teacher teach you math? "
Ding Ning was secretly surprised. Talismans? Making talismans in the Three Mountains? The effect of talismans was low. Heaven Master Zhang's arithmetic problem confused him, so he questioned without hesitation.
Heaven Master Zhang and Daoist Deming looked at each other with a wry smile and explained, "I didn't make a mistake. Young Master, you don't know about talismans? In fact, every talisman you make will consume your blood essence. If you keep making talismans for a month, even if the ancestors come back to life, they will exhaust their blood essence and die. So, our number is based on one talisman per person. We calculate it by resting for two days. In fact, according to normal circumstances, we can only make talismans in three months. The three mountains can only produce 2,400 talismans at most. I'll give you an estimate of 4,000 talismans, and the extra 1,600 talismans were created by some powerful talisman masters at the cost of their blood essence. "
Ding Ning suddenly realized that he had started too high. When he started practicing Talisman Taoism, he made talismans according to spiritual talismans. He had never made such low-level talismans that needed a medium, so he ignored that the making of talismans required blood essence. "So, talismans? The talismans of the Three Mountains? The production capacity is low. "
He frowned and thought for a moment, then slowly asked, "What if I only buy talisman paper and don't need to make Flying Bird Talismans?"
Heaven Master Zhang and Daoist Deming's expressions changed. "Talismans? The Three Mountains sell talismans? " As for the products, Ding Ning didn't want the finished products. He only wanted the semi-finished products, so the price would be much lower. For them, there was no profit at all.
"What? You don't sell talisman paper separately? "
Ding Ning raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
Daoist Deming lost his spirit like a frosted eggplant and said embarrassedly, "It's not that we don't sell it, but the price …"
"The price is not a problem. I can make talismans according to the price. I'll give you two-thirds of the price. Just tell me how much you can supply. "
Ding Ning waved his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that if they didn't sell talisman paper separately, then his efforts would be in vain.
In fact, it was much faster and more convenient to inscribe talismans directly than to transform them. He had proposed to buy the finished products to prevent them from being suspicious, but now it was obvious that their production capacity was limited. He didn't care whether he would arouse suspicion or not, so he directly proposed to buy talisman paper.
Daoist Deming and Heaven Master Zhang were really suspicious, but what could they do? With such a large order in front of them and Ding Ning offering a high price, even if they were suspicious, they would pretend that they didn't know anything.
Of course, selling talisman paper was one of their business scopes. After all, this kind of talisman paper could only be used to inscribe Flying Bird Talismans. They could do anything. Every year, many small forces and rogue cultivators specially bought their talisman paper, but the quantity was not large.
"If so, then there is no problem. As long as you have talisman paper, there should be no problem to supply 30,000 pieces a month."
What Daoist Deming said was already conservative. For them, the most difficult thing was to inscribe talisman paper. Although making talisman paper also required manpower and material resources, after hundreds and thousands of years, they had already formed an assembly line production process. Talisman? With the three mountains combined, it was no problem to produce 50,000 pieces a month, but they still needed to keep some for their own use. Naturally, they couldn't sell all of them to Ding Ning.
"Okay, then I'll order 100,000 pieces first. After we go out, we'll sign the contract. This is the deposit. Take it first."
Ding Ning reached out and took out a piece of middle-grade Spiritual Crystal and handed it to Daoist Deming.
He was no longer a novice in the Ancient Martial World and had a deep understanding of the terrifying purchasing power of Spiritual Crystals.
In the Ancient Martial World, a piece of low-grade Spiritual Crystal was worth 100,000, and a middle-grade Spiritual Crystal could be easily sold at the sky-high price of 10 million. According to the ratio of one to 100, a piece of upper-grade Spiritual Crystal should be worth one billion. In fact, even if someone was willing to spend 10 billion to buy it, there was no place to buy it. The standard was that there was a price but no market.
Ding Ning didn't understand this because he had a system to purify and filter Spiritual Qi, and the Spiritual Qi stored in his body was extremely pure. Therefore, he didn't understand the desire of warriors for pure Spiritual Qi.
It should be known that the reason why Spiritual Crystals were divided into four grades was not only because of the amount of Spiritual Qi stored in them, but also because of the great difference in purity.
As a result, high-grade Spirit Crystals with higher purity were simply priceless. Very few people were willing to sell them, let alone high-grade Spirit Crystals with purity above 99%. Those were the most precious treasures of the Saint Gate that even the upper echelons of the Saint Gate were reluctant to use.
The highest grade of Spiritual Crystals circulating in the market was middle-grade Spiritual Crystals. Only in a few extremely grand martial arts auction houses would there be a small amount of upper-grade Spiritual Crystals as currency.
Therefore, Ding Ning thought that it was normal to take out a piece of middle-grade Spiritual Crystal as a deposit and it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
However, he still neglected two things. He had only heard of Spiritual Crystals circulating in the market, but had never seen them.
Therefore, he didn't know that Spiritual Crystals were manually cut into standard sizes. Generally speaking, whether it was upper-grade or lower-grade, the size of a Spiritual Crystal was half the size of a mahjong tile. However, the Spiritual Crystal he took out had not been cut. It was the size of a fist, which was at least three times larger than a standard Spiritual Crystal.
The problem was that other people's Spiritual Crystals had no attributes, but the one he took out was a Spiritual Crystal of Water, which was an extremely rare attribute Spiritual Crystal.
This made Taoist Deming and Master Zhang confused on the spot. "What the f * ck! Is this a deposit?"
Such a piece of middle-grade Spiritual Crystal was equivalent to three pieces of ordinary Spiritual Crystals, which had far exceeded the price of 100,000 pieces of talisman paper. Moreover, this was an attribute Spiritual Crystal, which was many times more precious than a non-attribute Spiritual Crystal.
If it were other people, they might take advantage of Ding Ning's ignorance and play dumb to make a fortune. However, they couldn't do that. Not to mention that they owed Ding Ning a life-saving grace, they couldn't do such a thing. What was more, for the sake of the continuation and development of their sect, they had already taken advantage of the price of talisman paper. If they were still greedy, they would feel guilty.
Therefore, Taoist Deming solemnly handed the Spiritual Crystal back and said seriously, "This is too precious. It has far exceeded the price of talisman paper. We can't accept it."
"What do you mean?"
Ding Ning opened his eyes in confusion and asked in confusion.
Master Zhang immediately confirmed his guess from his reaction. Ding Ning was likely to come from a secluded sect that was more secretive than the Holy Sect. He didn't know the common sense of the Ancient Martial World at all, so he behaved like an idiot everywhere.
Master Zhang immediately gave a wry smile and explained the difference between a Spiritual Crystal with an attribute and a non-attribute Spiritual Crystal in detail. By the way, he told Ding Ning some common sense in Jianghu so that he wouldn't be cheated by those with bad intentions.
