Chapter 300 - 154: Genuine Talisman! Demon Artifact: Dance of Demons +2!
At the moment the rune closed into a loop, Chen Han clearly saw changes in the patterns of the talisman painting.
First, the color changed rapidly, gaining a sense of profoundness.
This was completely different from the bright appearance of the ground cinnabar, and obviously different from the wasted talismans painted with ordinary water before.
Moreover, as the color of those talisman patterns deepened, the patterns seemed to merge into the yellow paper.
This feeling was very magical, yet easily perceptible.
Could it be that this is the reason for the success of the talisman painting?
The notes of the special dew mentioned that there would be special attribute effects upon completion of talisman painting.
He stored the talisman in the warehouse to check the notes:
[Blessing and Peace Talisman: This is a special Blessing and Peace Talisman, which after being blessed, grants calmness of mind +1, sleep quality +1, and mental peace +1.
Restriction: The current Blessing and Peace Talisman has not been blessed, so its attribute effects have not been activated!
Tip: Using better materials for talisman painting might yield stronger effects!]
Chen Han was astonished by the notes.
The three attributes of this Peace Talisman are impressive. For many minor mental issues like anxiety, insomnia, and irritability, even a +1 attribute can solve most of them.
The key is that there are many people with sleep disorders and anxiety disorders in society now.
It’s just that it hasn’t been blessed yet, and the effect of this Peace Talisman hasn’t been activated.
It’s necessary to wait until the special altar of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall is completed.
Moreover, talismans hold a very significant place in the Taoist Sect, almost becoming a major business source for many sect residences.
It’s openly priced as such.
The price varies based on material, method of production, and whether they are enlightened or not, ranging from a few yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Ordinary paper or fabric Peace Talismans are cheaper, typically costing a few yuan to several dozen yuan.
Wooden ones generally range from a few dozen yuan to several hundred yuan, such as those made of peach wood costing around 50 yuan to 200 yuan.
Jade ones are more expensive, with ordinary jade runes costing a few hundred yuan, and high-quality jade like Hetian jade could reach thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.
In some places, mass-printed Peace Talismans cost as little as 2 yuan each.
Finally, Peace Talismans blessed by high-skilled Daoists will also have a price markup.
But as to whether these have any effect, those who have bought them already know.
Especially those mass-printed ones, if they were effective, Uncle Nine, who catches zombies, would laugh out loud, and movable type printing would need to produce a ton.
As for the Peace Talismans of the Chen Family, they’re genuinely effective. How much should they sell for?
After all, once the special altar of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall is completed, it can bless 30 pieces per day.
The key is that these can be taken out of the Chen Family while still being effective, which is an opportunity to spread the Chen Family’s name far and wide.
But on second thought, it wouldn’t be appropriate to directly sell such talismans, it would be too lowbrow and crass.
Moreover, just because 30 pieces can be blessed per day doesn’t mean all 30 have to be distributed daily; taking it slow is still timely.
A good method should be devised.
For instance, offering benefits only to true believers of the Chen Family, under the pretense of giving welfare to believers, conducting a Peace Blessing ceremony, then distributing talismans, granting the Peace Talismans.
As of now, the only ones truly deserving the title of believer are Mr. Wang Sr. and Mr. Liu.
Although the Taoist people might refer to ordinary people and tourists as believers, it’s just a form of address, the inside and outside are still different.
It’s not because people have money.
It’s because it’s impossible to give it to everyone who comes, modern people are opportunistic, seeking sympathy when in need, and disregarding you when not needed.
At the very least, you have to be a follower first.
However, this is just an idea, more detailed planning can be done later.
Then, he took out that Peace Talisman again, now he could confirm the magical phenomenon of deepening color and cinnabar rune seeming to merge into the paper was due to the successful talisman painting.
With this hypothesis, he started talisman painting again, intentionally making a mistake this time, and indeed, no changes appeared in the talisman.
He stored it in the warehouse, and upon checking the notes again:
[This is a talisman painting with errors, without any special effects, a wasted talisman!]
Hence, by handing over this talisman painting technique to Aunt or other members of the clan, they too could determine whether the talisman painting was successful.
Thinking about it, he successfully painted another two talismans, stored them in the warehouse and checked the notes, then took out his phone to order some higher-grade cinnabar and several pieces of jade.
The notes suggest using better materials can enhance the attributes of this Peace Talisman, possibly even to +2 attributes.
The distinction between yellow paper talisman painting and jade talisman painting in terms of grade also appears noticeable.
After placing the orders, Chen Han painted over a dozen Blessing and Peace Talismans, using up the cinnabar mixed with rootless water, and then headed to Little Uncle’s kitchen, taking Cyan-Feathered Pheasant Meat from the warehouse to start making medicinal cuisine.
Just as he lit the fire to simmer, Uncle Dagou’s call came through: "Xiaohan, those thief bees are back."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Han immediately went to the Spirit Beast Hall, as the monsters attacked, it was the perfect moment to kill them and acquire items.
Using the Beast Taming Flute, he controlled the Lion-headed Geese to the beehives, resulting in another fierce battle, forcing the invading Thief Demon Bees of the Chen Family to flee in panic.
However, the items dropped were of little interest to him.
Spirit Flower Powder X2.
This stuff was too abundant, it simply increased the stock to make more Scar Remover Cream.
