Chapter 35 Long-term orders and independence (please seek monthly reading recommendation votes)
On this day, after finishing the afternoon class, Zhou Ling came to the Lujia Workshop on Xiyun Street and handed over the three drawn Thunder Fire Beads. To Master Lu.
Seeing the three thunder fire beads, Master Lu was relieved. Tomorrow is the delivery date.
If he can't give the customer Thunder Fire Beads, then he will have to accompany him with a lot of spiritual stones.
Check it carefully and confirm that there is no problem, and praise Zhou Ling, "Little Master Ling, you are becoming more and more proficient in imprinting!"
His tone was a little more respectful and kind to Zhou Ling.
Although he is not an inscription master, he has been dealing with inscription masters all year round. Generally, he can tell whether an inscription is good or bad at a glance.
The inscriptions on the Thunder Fire Seal drawn by Zhou Ling this time seem to be thicker than the fire bead inscriptions last time.
There is obviously progress.
And this was only ten days, which shows that Zhou Ling still has a very good talent in imprinting.
"This thunder and fire imprint consumes the most spiritual energy among all imprints. At your age and with this kind of cultivation, it is really rare!"
From these few contacts, Zhou Ling also saw that Master Lu no matter what The requirements for disciples and the tools in the workshop are extremely strict.
Usually he has a straight face and an expression that does not allow strangers to approach him.
The smile on his face now shows that he is in a good mood.
However, Zhou Ling didn't take it to heart and asked, "Master Lu, do you have any other thunder and fire bead equipment on hand?"
Now that the proficiency of the Thunder Fire Seal is about the same, Zhou Ling was thinking about whether he could buy a few tools from the workshop and refine a few more Thunder Fire Beads for his father.
Master Lu shook his head, "This is a custom-made magic weapon. The materials I purchased last time were only enough to make six thunder and fire beads."
Zhou Ling thought After thinking for a while, he asked, "I want to buy a few thunder and fire beads. How many spiritual stones do each one cost?"
"It's so hot in this damn weather!" Master Lu wiped it off with a towel. With sweat on his face, he took a few more gulps of tea.
Then he continued, "If you want it, I will give you the cheapest price, two low-grade spiritual stones worth five yuan."
Zhou Ling nodded, "Okay, then I'll order three first."
"How long will it take to pick up the goods?"
"You need to pay a deposit of three spiritual stones first, and you will pick them up in three days. Goods!" Master Lu replied.
Then, he took out four more spirit stones and handed them to Zhou Ling, "This is your reward for refining the thunder fire beads this time, except for the deposit of three spirit stones."
Took the spirit stones. Stone, Zhou Ling nodded repeatedly.
"I have now received an order from Duobao Pavilion for a batch of golden pens. Master Ling, are you interested?"
"If you want to take it, make sure that the imprint is of high quality. and stable.”
“This is a perennial order, basically ten to twenty Jinhao magic pens a month.”
“You can earn one yuan for each magic pen. Semi-spiritual stone."
Master Lu glanced at Zhou Ling and said.
"I'll take it, but is there a gold brush imprint pattern?" Zhou Ling asked without hesitation.
Now, he needs to earn more spiritual stones, buy fire cloud grass, and save some to build a brewing furnace for his mother.
For this order, as long as it is within the scope of his current ability, the more he has, the better.
“Hey, this is the spirit imprint used to create the Jinhao Spirit Pen. See for yourself!”
Master Lu took out a scroll from the storage bag and handed it to Zhou Ling.
At the same time, he shouted towards the inner room, "Liu Zi, bring me the golden pen tool."
"Okay, master!"
Soon, a dark-skinned young man He came over with a plate in both hands.
The boy looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had bright eyes and was shirtless. Although he was not very strong, his muscles were well defined.
On the plate in the hand are ten spiritual pens. The pen barrels are cyan and the brush hairs flash with a slight golden glow.
"This is a golden brush. The barrel of the brush is made of blue-patterned bamboo, and the brush brush is made of the tail hair of the first-order spiritual beast Golden-tailed Sheep. As long as it is combined with the Condensing Spirit Seal, it can draw runes, seals, and formations. Wait."
Master Lu took out a pen and introduced it to Zhou Ling. Zhou Ling was opening the scroll and looking at the Ningling Seal drawn on it.
There should be no problem with the seven-inscription imprint!
“How many days will it take for delivery?” Zhou Ling asked.
"It is due every half a month, but the production rate of this Jinhao pen must not be less than 60%."
Master Lu said as he took out a yellow brocade box from the storage bag and handed it to Six sons.
Liuzi carefully put the ten gold pens into the brocade box, arranged them neatly one by one, and then handed the brocade box to Zhou Ling.
Taking the brocade box, Zhou Ling nodded.
"Sixth Son, this is Master Zhou Ling, the inscription master."
"Little Master Ling, this is my disciple Lu Liu'an."
Master Lu introduced the two of them.
Zhou Ling smiled and saluted Lu Luan.
Lu Liuan also hurriedly returned the gift.
Afterwards, Zhou Lingcai left the workshop.
On the way home, I bought another jar of spiritual wine and nine pieces of spiritual cake.
Back home, Li Ru has prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Since his father will go into the mountains tomorrow, Li Ru specially took half a day off today to prepare food and other supplies for Zhou Shan.
Zhou Shan also looked happy when he saw the spirit wine brought by Zhou Ling.
But soon, he glanced at Li Ru and said with a serious face, "Ling'er, this dark rice wine tastes a bit choking!"
"Dad is not used to drinking, please don't buy any more in the future!"
As he said this, he opened the mud seal and poured a bowl for Li Ru first, and then a bowl for himself.
Zhou Ling couldn't help but be a little stunned. It seemed like he finished the drink in two days?
When you think about it, you can understand that Zhou Shan is afraid that he will spend the spiritual stones indiscriminately.
I felt a little funny and helpless.
"Ling'er, the Taoist Academy will have to stay in the academy for examinations in the next year. If you can become an outer disciple by then, you will need a large sum of money to become a disciple."
"I will have spiritual stones in my hand from now on. , we should save some flowers."
Li Ru poured a bowl of broth for Zhou Ling and said seriously.
"Mom, I signed a long-term order with Lujia Workshop. From now on, I will be able to earn more than ten yuan of low-grade spiritual stones every month. I am happy today. I will buy a jar of wine to celebrate!"
"From now on, this amount of spiritual stones will be enough for my Taoist temple expenses and training, so you don't need to prepare any more spiritual stones for me."
Zhou Ling said with a smile.
Then he told the two people about the Jinhaobi. Fearing that they would not believe it, he even took out the embryo of the Jinhaobi and showed them to them.
“Can you really earn so many spirit stones?” Li Ru touched Zhou Ling’s face, feeling a little disbelieving, “Ling’er has grown up!”
Why does it feel like his son suddenly suddenly changed his mind overnight? It’s like growing up!
Zhou Shan also said with excitement, "Ling'er is so successful, so we should really celebrate!"
The couple did not have many requirements for Zhou Ling, as long as they could practice well.
It would be nice to be able to live a stable life in the future and not be as adventurous and busy as they are.
But Zhou Ling is only eight years old and has already earned more spiritual stones than them.
This made them very excited.
“It’s time to celebrate, my mother has cooked two more dishes for you!”
Li Ru stood up and walked to the kitchen, turned around, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Mom, there are so many dishes, you can finish them all!" Zhou Ling couldn't help but say.
"Your mother is so happy, just cook more and eat slowly!" Zhou Shan said with a smile.
