"You don’t understand. Not only will we earn enough funds to buy pills from Yangzhou Prefecture, but we might even have enough to buy pills from the entire Jiangnan region," Qin Yuesheng said.
"That’s quite an exaggeration," Cao Zhengchun said in surprise.
Having experienced the era of the rise of formulaic novels, Qin Yuesheng deeply understood why they beca so popular and why those who wrote them well made so much money.
The core of a formulaic novel is capturing people’s points of enthusiasm, and successful ones often achieve this effect.
Most people share common points of excitent,
rising from adversity to prosperity,
when soone underestimates you, and then follows with a strong face-slapping counterattack,
in a crowd, when the person with the highest status bows down to you with extre respect, leaving everyone shocked,
fighting against many and gaining fa across the world after the battle with experts,
and so on and so forth.
Many people know these things, but to succeed, you can’t miss the formula and writing skill.
Without the formula, there’s no structure, and without writing skill, the formula can appear childish and silly.
Qin Yuesheng had assessed Huang Wei’s writing skills, which were very good, and he provided her with an absolutely novel formula that the world had never seen.
The combination of the two, do we need to say more about the reaction?
Especially with the novel’s outline, Qin Yuesheng made localized modifications according to the current world situation, allowing readers to imrse themselves even more, and in doing so, the book will definitely explode in popularity in Cyan Yang City.
This was Qin Yuesheng’s idea to gather the funds for purchasing pills; he was just an ordinary person, not good at business or handling high technology, so naturally, he could only rely on writing to make money.
Things like soap, perfu, and glass are fine to dream about, but trying to actually make them would leave one dumbfounded, lacking the ability.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Baiding Street, and seeing the Li Lai Pawnshop written on the note, Qin Yuesheng imdiately got off and walked in.
At this mont, there was a tall thin man with a moustache standing behind the counter. As soon as he saw a custor enter, he imdiately smiled and asked, "Sir, what would you like to pawn?"
"I’m looking for Shopkeeper Mo."
"Shopkeeper Mo is not here today."
"It’s Lord Bai who asked to find him, is he really not here?"
The tall thin man imdiately looked seriously at Qin Yuesheng: "Seven-star monitoring?"
Qin Yuesheng said, "Yes."
"Show the badge and Exorcism Toad."
Qin Yuesheng then took out these two items from the Celestial Demon pouch.
The tall thin man examined them closely, then nodded: "Go to the back hall, Shopkeeper Mo is inside drinking tea, only you’re allowed to enter alone."
Qin Yuesheng instructed Cao Zhengchun to wait in the main hall, and proceeded alone towards the back hall door pointed out by the tall thin man.
Pulling aside the curtain, as soon as Qin Yuesheng entered, he couldn’t help but pause in surprise.
"Xu, Xu Dianshi?"
In the back hall, the person drinking tea was none other than Xu Jin, Xu Dianshi.
Even with a green robe, Qin Yuesheng recognized him at a glance.
"Who are you?" Xu Dianshi looked at Qin Yuesheng with a puzzled face.
"Dianshi Xu, we just saw each other last night."
The person suddenly realized: "You must be Qin Yuesheng, right? Haha, I’m not Xu Jin, he’s my younger brother; I’m his elder brother, Xu Chang."
"You’re not Dianshi Xu?" Qin Yuesheng walked in for a closer look, only to notice a slight difference from Xu Jin, though at first glance, unfamiliar people might not be able to tell them apart.
"So what’s with Shopkeeper Mo?"
"Haha, that’s just the pseudonym I use for disguise here. This place is a private liaison point established by the seven-star monitoring in Cyan Yang City. mbers can contact here, and can also exchange items. What is Lord Qin here to exchange today?"
Qin Yuesheng placed the Ghost Embryo on the table: "I’d like you to take a look at this, see what its background is."
Seeing the Ghost Embryo, Xu Chang imdiately showed great interest.
"Oh! This is." He picked up the Ghost Embryo with both hands, caressing it: "Lord Qin, you hit the jackpot this ti."
"What do you an?"
"This is a Corpse Ghost Embryo. Although I’m not sure of its origin, such things typically hold a value of around a hundred ferocity points, quite precious. Let tell you quietly, many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital like to purchase such things for their collection."
"Isn’t it dangerous, what if the Corpse Ghost inside escapes?"
"No such thing; those lords have many defensive asures in place."
"Oh." Qin Yuesheng nodded: "Can this be exchanged for ferocity points?"
"Yes, one hundred twenty, guaranteed."
"What can I exchange for here?"
"Pills, manuals for combating evil forces, cultivation techniques, heart thods, martial arts, top-quality weapons, even shared intelligence from the seven-star monitoring."
"Let see the manuals for combating evil spirits and the pills."
"I’ll go get the list right away."
In no ti, Xu Chang returned with two blue-covered booklets: "Lord, please take a look."
Qin Yuesheng first browsed the pill list; as expected of the seven-star monitoring, many pills provided are of top quality, and there are many supre-quality items Qin Yuesheng had never heard of before.
Dragon Tiger Frost Jade Dew was considered only average among them.
However, the corresponding ferocity point consumption was also significant, and Qin Yuesheng couldn’t afford to exchange for many. If he truly aid to go this route, he’d have to constantly wander around searching for and eliminating all sorts of evil abnormalities to acquire a large number of ferocity points.
This path is actually not bad because the super auxiliary tool’s decomposition function can obtain Heart Marrow from a Corpse Ghost, which is another gain of All-Purpose Essence.
However, following this path requires traveling outside; staying at ho won’t work as Cyan Yang City is just a small place without plenty of evil abnormalities for Qin Yuesheng to choose from.
Turning to the booklet on manuals against evil spirits, Qin Yuesheng began reading carefully.
"Dog Blood Fist technique, saring the body with black dog blood and honing it over ti...
Ziqi Eyes, training every morning, with ti, the eyes can intimidate fierce ghosts...
Song of Righteous Aura, easily dispels evil, and avoids all taboos...
thod of making a Manifestation Treasure Mirror, capable of revealing fierce ghosts, breaking great illusions...
Page after page, Qin Yuesheng discovered that the seven-star monitoring indeed had a vast array of thods for dealing with ghostly creatures and anomalies.
There were martial arts, organ-type techniques, sound-based thods, and tool and weapon types, truly a dazzling variety.
Only then did Qin Yuesheng understand why Bai Hao casually gave him the Soul-Shattering Roar manual, as seven-star monitoring had so many higher-grade exorcism techniques that Bai Hao didn’t care.
After looking through, he wanted everything yet couldn’t afford most, feeling rather strapped for cash.
"Can you take this Ghost Embryo now?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Of course," Xu Chang laughed.
"Then take it; I want to exchange for this." Qin Yuesheng pointed to a na on the manual’s page, then returned the booklet to Xu Chang.
"The thod for making the Soul-Swaying Bell? Lord Qin truly has a keen eye."
