Chapter 56: Qian Shanren
Fifty taels is the maximum the store owner is willing to give.

In the shopkeeper's words, "It's not like there's no toilet paper on the market now, even if yours is better, theirs is cheaper.

Ordinary people only buy cheap ones, so what does it matter if they are a little rough? "

"So I can't sell it too expensive. I sell it by the pound, at most five cents per pound. If I sell it to other merchants, at most three cents. I only make one cent per pound." The shopkeeper used an abacus to calculate for her, "One cent per pound. Just to buy this recipe, I need to sell 50,000 pounds of paper to recover my investment."

Not to mention the talk of using technology to invest in shares. Hum, is paper difficult to make? Is toilet paper rare?

Who doesn't know that paper from Yushan County is as famous as porcelain from Jingdezhen?
Although Pan Yun’s recipe is softer and more waterproof than today’s toilet paper, it is not impossible to figure it out.

It would have been fine if the shop owner had never seen it before, but now that he has seen it, if he lets the craftsmen think carefully, it may be possible that they can make it, it just takes more effort.

So he was willing to spend fifty taels to cover the cost. If it exceeded the cost, he would rather study it himself.

Pan Yun was a man who knew how to act. After realizing what was going on, he immediately sold the prescription.

Seeing Miao Zhen and Miao He were also a little disappointed, Pan Yun himself was fine and became happy, "Fifty taels, and I made it accidentally when I was making talisman paper. Isn't this equivalent to picking up fifty taels for free? So many of us have worked so hard for so many days to pick and prepare medicinal herbs, but we may not get fifty taels."

Miao Zhen Miao He also became happy when he heard it, "Does the store require that this recipe cannot be leaked?"

Pan Yun: "The store owner only asked that the product be sold to him within Yushan County. He would not be responsible for anything else outside of Yushan County."

The shopkeeper said, "Even if you sell me the recipe and then do this business yourself, as long as you are not in Yushan County, I can't do anything to you. I can't always follow you around for such a small profit, right?"

So the shopkeeper simply didn't ask for anything. He just wanted Pan Yun to make sure there was no second seller in Yushan County.

The other party’s request was so low, what else could Pan Jun do? Of course he agreed to it.

Alas, it is hard to make money, but it is easy to spend it.

Tao Ji and Xuan Miao took them to the pharmacy.

Sell ​​all the medicinal materials in the car to the pharmacy.

It must be said that the results of their hard work during this period were very good. This cart of medicinal materials sold for a total of 186 taels, and then Tao Ji spent 80 taels and bought all the medicinal materials.

Pan Yun took a look and found that Tao Ji had bought a lot of these herbs last time. He was stunned and said, "Third Brother, the herbs you bought last time..."

Tao Ji: “It’s all used up.”

He paused and said, "Before we left the mountain, Senior Brother said that you have adapted to life in Sanqing Mountain and it is time to refine your body."

Last time, Tao Ji bought a lot of medicinal herbs and went up the mountain. He originally planned to give them to Pan Yun for body training, but Wang Feiyin refused after checking her.

She looked strong on the outside, but was actually empty on the inside. She was new to the place and hadn't adapted to the climate yet. If she rashly trained her body, she was afraid it would backfire, so she held back.

Now Pan Yun not only had a rosy complexion, but she had also grown taller and gained some weight. Only then did Wang Feiyin agree to help her with body training.

Pan Yun was shocked, "Body training is so expensive."

Tao Ji also sighed, "Otherwise, why would our Sanqing Mountain be so poor?"

It’s because although I earn a lot, I spend even more.

Tao Ji said: "This is just the basic body training. When you grow up a little bit, you will not only have to train your body, but also make pills to help you practice. It will cost more by then."

Pan Yun is skeptical about taking elixirs for cultivation. She prefers to practice on her own rather than relying on elixirs.

But she didn't say anything at this moment. Tao Jixiu was practicing alchemy, so he just kept refining pills and practicing.

Tao Ji bought all the things, looked at them and said, "I'll give you half an hour. Meet up at the city gate and go back to the mountain after half an hour."

Miaohe pulled Pan Yun and was about to leave, but Pan Yun grabbed Tao Yanbai and pulled him along.

As soon as they left the medicine shop, Pan Yun asked him, "Do you know anyone in Yushan County who would buy talismans?"

Tao Yanbai thought about it and brought them to the gate of Qian’s house.

Everyone looked up at the big word "Money" on the gate.

Tao Yanbai said, "This is the owner of the bookstore where you sold your son just now. Mr. Qian not only owns a bookstore, but also a paper mill. He is very rich."

"The last time you and Third Senior Brother came down the mountain to treat him, how much did his family pay for the consultation?"

Tao Yanbai said proudly: "Ten taels."

Pan Yun frowned, "Is ten taels a lot?"

Tao Yanbai said, "It's a lot. If I can be a doctor in a pharmacy in the future, I will only earn four or five taels a month. Third Master earned two months' salary of an average doctor in just seven days. Do you think it's a lot?"

That’s still a lot.

Pan Yun asked Tao Yanbai: "What disease did Mr. Qian have?"

Tao Yanbai said: "Diabetic disease, I almost died last time."

When Pan Yun heard this, he folded two talismans and put them in his purse, and said to Tao Yanbai, "Let's go, you lead us in."

Tao Yanbai saw this and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He asked cautiously, "Uncle Junior Master, you don't want to let only a few of us go in to sell talismans, do you?"

Pan Yun: "Otherwise, Third Senior Brother is a doctor, he is not suitable for this. I drew this talisman myself, so of course I will sell it. When I sell it, I will give you some of the money."

Miaozhen and Miaohe nodded in agreement. Tao Yanbai: "Mr. Qian is a good person, a kind man."

"I am also a kind person. Don't you believe in my talismans?"

"I do believe it, but I'm afraid that Master Qian doesn't believe it. If that happens, it will ruin the impression that Third Uncle and Sanqing Mountain have on him."

Pan Yun said seriously, "Time and facts will prove to him that Sanqing Mountain and I are worthy of his trust."

If she had not taken this step, the world would only know about the alchemy and medical skills of Sanqing Mountain but not the talisman techniques of Sanqing Mountain. When would she be able to find her own way?
Pan Jun looked up at Qian's house and became more determined. He dragged Tao Yanbai up and knocked on the door.

The concierge opened the door, saw four people, recognized Tao Yanbai, and opened the door wider, "Master Tao, what can I do for you?"

Tao Yanbai glanced at Pan Yun and said, "I have a small matter to ask Mr. Qian Shanren."

The doorman reported in, and it happened that Mr. Qian was free. He thought it was about his illness, so he quickly asked someone to invite them in.

As soon as Pan Yun followed the servants into the lobby, he saw Master Qian sitting on a chair.

He looked a little thin and not very energetic. It was obvious that he was sick, but that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the center of his forehead was blue, so blue that Pan Yun could see it at a glance.

Not only Pan Yun, but Tao Yanbai also noticed that there was something wrong with the aura of Master Qian.

Miaozhen and Miaohe both stared at Master Qian curiously, their eyes looking him up and down like searchlights.

Mr. Qian smiled and was about to greet them: ...

It's just... quite weird.

The four young Taoist priests who came in all stared at him, their eyes full of shock and curiosity. Master Qian paused for a moment before smiling again. He stared at Tao Yanbai, whom he knew, and asked, "Little Taoist priest, did you come to the county town on the orders of the master?"

"Mr. Qian, we came here with our Third and Fourth Uncles. Yes," Tao Yanbai glanced at Pan Yun and said, "it's my Junior Uncle who wants to meet Mr. Qian."

Tao Yanbai introduced him, "Mr. Qian, this is my junior uncle from Sanqing Mountain, and these are my fourth and fifth junior sisters."

Pan Yun and his two nephews saluted to Master Qian with their fists.

Master Qian also nodded in a friendly manner, "I wonder why the young Taoist priests are looking for me..."

Pan Yun said seriously, "I originally wanted to give Mr. Qian a fitness amulet, but after meeting Mr. Qian, I felt that Mr. Qian needed a peace amulet more."

Master Qian looked blank, "Send talismans? You sell talismans in Sanqing Mountain? Don't you only perform rituals, various ceremonies, and treat illnesses and sell medicine?"

"Now I will draw talismans for all the good people and believers," Pan Yun said, "Mr. Qian, you may not know that my fourth sister is from the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain. She is very skilled in talisman techniques."

If it was a talisman from Mount Sanqing, Mr. Qian would be somewhat skeptical, but the one from Mount Longhu...

Master Qian became interested. "Why don't the disciples of the Zhang family practice in Longhu Mountain, but come to Sanqing Mountain?"

"We cultivators value fate. Sanqing Mountain and Fourth Senior Sister have a predestined relationship, and it is more conducive to Fourth Senior Sister's cultivation, so she came here," Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "But today, none of this is important. What's important is that I met Mr. Qian today."

After Pan Yun looked Master Qian up and down, he said, "Mr. Qian and our Sanqing Mountain are indeed destined to meet. It is a coincidence that we met today. If it were to be two days later, I am afraid we would not see each other again."

This sounds very ominous.

Pan Yun said, "Mr. Qian, do you know that your forehead is blue and dark clouds are covering your head, which is a sign of impending disaster. Could it be that Mr. Qian is going out for the next two days?"

Master Qian: "...young Taoist priest, you made a mistake. I am not going out."

He covered his chest and said, "I'm not feeling well and don't want to travel these days."

Tao Yanbai and Miaohe bit their lips and looked at Pan Yun worriedly. Oops, Junior Master had miscalculated...

Pan Yun, however, looked determined, and nodded with a smile, saying, "That would be the best. Mr. Qian had better not go out within three days, and perhaps this disaster can be avoided."

She paused and said, "If you must go out, please bring the amulet I drew myself."

Pan Yun did not take out the fitness amulet from his purse, but took out two peace amulets from the inner pocket of his sleeve, folded them up again and handed them to Mr. Qian.

Mr. Qian: ...

Pan Yun smiled slightly, put the amulet on the table, and said with a hearty laugh: "Mr. Qian, don't worry. You and my Sanqing Mountain have a great fate. I was just passing by the door and knew that you were a patient of my third senior brother, so I came in to give you two health amulets. However, Mr. Qian really needs the amulet more at this time."

Pan Yun put down the amulet, raised his hands, clasped his fists, and left.

Tao Yanbai, Miaohe and Miaozhen reacted and quickly bowed and stepped back.

Master Qian frowned as he watched them leave. Were they really just passing by to give him a talisman, or...

If this was an older Taoist priest, Mr. Qian would definitely not believe it. If he said it was a gift, everyone would know what his intention was.

But they were all too young, and they came from Sanqing Mountain. Tao Yanbai was also familiar with them, and they were shy and hardworking boys.

Thinking of this, Master Qian could no longer sit still, and quickly called the butler, "Hurry up and catch up with them, and give them... a red envelope with ten taels of silver."

The butler agreed, took the red envelope and hurried after them, hurrying as fast as he could and catching up with them just as they stepped out of the gate.
