Chapter 85: CharmingPrince’s Plot

Alexander thoughtfully pulled out another Fire Spirit Talisman, saying, "Indeed it’s powerful; this single Talisman could probably kill a whole pack of beasts..."

System: "Of course, what I provide for the host is always the best. These Fire Spirit Talismans are top-grade, far more powerful than other inferior ones!"

Listening to the system’s proud voice, Alexander couldn’t help but say, "System, why don’t you give me a few hundred more?"

System: "My authority is limited; I can’t directly help you. However, you can obtain a certain number of Fire Spirit Talismans by dual cultivating with your wives. Each time you complete a session, I’ll reward you with some."

Alexander widened his eyes, "Really? Although the act of making love is enjoyable, it wastes a lot of time."

System: "You’re not satisfied with the duration? How about I make you ’sensitive,’ so you can ejaculate within a minute? This way, your efficiency will increase, and you can acquire hundreds of Fire Spirit Talismans in one night."

"No thanks, I think it’s fine as it is now," Alexander said somewhat helplessly.

Alexander rode a jeep back to the hotel.

Now, only Laura was with Alexander, and even if he dual cultivated with her every night, he could only obtain two Fire Spirit Talismans per day at most.

Although the destructive power of the Fire Spirit Talismans was indeed tremendous, they were consumable items. If used frequently, they’d be depleted quickly.

Alexander looked at the Talisman in his hand and suddenly had a magical idea: "Why rely on the system’s reward? Can’t I make them myself?"

He immediately sat down in a chair and took out a fruit knife, gently scraping off some powder from the characters on the Talisman.

Using his elemental power to sense the powder, he quickly discovered that the powder was actually high-spirit fire-attribute ore.

The material was one aspect, but the focus was on the runes inscribed on it. These runes would ignite the energy contained within the material, causing an explosion.

Laura came to Alexander’s side, pressing her body against his back, silently watching for a moment before saying: 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Darling, don’t waste your energy on this. Drawing Talismans requires specialized and systematic training. It’s not something that can be casually created."

Alexander pulled out a few pills, casually saying, "Who said I was going to draw Talismans?"

Laura asked, puzzled, "Then what are you doing?"

Alexander didn’t answer but found a slender stick and crushed the top-grade pills into fine powder.

Laura exclaimed again, "Darling! Even though these pills aren’t valuable to you, you shouldn’t waste them! Don’t you know that even inferior pills are rare in our temple?"

Alexander ignored Laura, and after crushing the pills into powder, he placed them in a cup. He closed his eyes and urged the elemental power within him.

Fire attribute spiritual energy slowly flowed from his hands, mixing with the powder in the cup.

Quickly, the powder turned fiery red.

"Darling, don’t waste your effort; this won’t work at all. If you want to learn, I can teach you! I have some understanding of this Talisman-drawing technique," Laura said.

Alexander shook his head, "Learning to draw Talismans takes a lot of time, but I don’t have enough time. I need to create more Fire Spirit Talismans as backups."

Laura exclaimed, "How are you going to do that?"

Then Alexander turned and looked at a printer not far away.

He brought over a few sheets of A4 paper and scanned the Fire Spirit Talisman as a template.

Soon, a 1:1 replica of the Fire Spirit Talisman pattern appeared on the computer screen.

Laura, shocked, asked, "Darling, what are you doing?"

Alexander shrugged, "I can’t draw such complex runes yet, so I’ll print some out as backups."

With that, Alexander began to operate.

Laura, amazed, said, "Alexander, this won’t work at all. You’re wasting your time! You can’t seriously think that Talismans can be made so simply..."

Then Laura was stunned.

With the printer working, batch after batch of Fire Spirit Talismans were printed out.

It was an inkjet printer, and all Alexander had to do was replace the ink with his fire attribute powder.

"Success!"

Alexander admired the ten Fire Spirit Talismans he had just printed.

He carefully picked one up, opened the window, and threw it into the distance.

"Go!"

Alexander threw the Fire Spirit Talisman forcefully, and it flew to a distant height.

When the Fire Spirit Talisman reached an appropriate altitude, Alexander detonated it.

Boom!

A loud noise, and the sky instantly exploded with dazzling firelight.

Laura: "!!!"

If other psychics saw this scene, they would probably be flabbergasted.

For pschics and even cultivators, Talisman-making is the most delicate work!

Even a slight mistake can lower the Talisman’s grade or cause it to explode, leading to an accident.

Especially for powerful Talismans like the Fire Spirit Charm, they are hard to craft.

Craftsmanship is one issue, and even more crucially, even if you can draw a good Talisman, without corresponding high-level materials, it’s useless.

But who would have thought to use a printer to replace handcrafting!

Alexander’s eyes lit up, exclaiming, "Not bad at all! The explosive power has been reduced by 50%, but fortunately, it can be mass-produced!"

Laura exclaimed, "Sweetheart, you actually printed them successfully!"

Alexander smiled, "Isn’t it simple? The spiritual energy in top-grade pills is very pure, and with my fire elemental power’s transformation, it makes the perfect material!"

"The only possible shortcoming might be the paper. Using specialized paper would probably be better, but regular A4 paper works too. The power might decrease slightly, but it’s very inexpensive and can meet the needs of large-scale production!"

Laura asked, puzzled: "But... nobody has ever tried to use a printer to produce Talismans before!!"

Alexander pointed to his head, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled: "That’s because they haven’t learned to think differently. They’re stuck in their fixed ways, and they’ll be phased out sooner or later!"

Laura embraced Alexander, excitedly saying: "My husband, you’re amazing! Truly incredible!"

"Of course!" he replied.

After speaking, Alexander smiled faintly, stood up, and turned towards the door to leave.

Laura hurriedly asked, "Darling, where are you going?"

"To the city. I plan to purchase a printing factory to have them help me produce a few hundred thousand Talismans for stock!"

"..."

Meanwhile, inside a convenience store in Manaus.

CharmingPrince, wearing a mask with only his sinister eyes visible, walked in.

Inside the convenience store, the long-bearded owner sat at the counter, his pen continually writing on the paper.

Seeing CharmingPrince, he didn’t look up and casually said: "Elder CharmingPrince, it seems the sect has given you another task?"

CharmingPrince sat at the counter, his voice raspy, "Prepare ten Fire Spirit Talismans for me. Tonight, the people of the temple will die by my hand."

The long-bearded owner looked up and glanced at him, saying, "Elder, Fire Spirit Talismans are very precious items. The sect leader has contacted me, and I can only provide you with three at most!"

CharmingPrince replied gravely, "Not enough."

The long-bearded owner put down his pen, looked up at him, and said, "The funds of our Order of the Wandering Oracles can’t be squandered by you like this. Do you know how much a single Fire Spirit Talisman costs?"

He took out a calculator, saying: "A milligram of Fire Spirit Stone is a hundred thousand dollars, a sheet of A4 spiritual paper is ten thousand dollars, and a low-grade Talisman requires ten milligrams of Fire Spirit Stone powder, that’s a million dollars. But on average, only one finished product can be obtained from ten engravings. Including all the consumption costs..."

He looked up, indifferently saying, "On average, a Fire Spirit Talisman costs one million and ten thousand dollars. You’re asking for a hundred million dollars, how can I give you that?"

CharmingPrince gritted his teeth, saying, "Once spiritual energy rejuvenates, there will surely be plenty of spiritual stones, and the price of these Talismans will not be so high!"

The long-bearded owner tapped his calculator, replying nonchalantly, "Indeed, but that’s in the future, and it has nothing to do with now."

"I can only give you three. Take it or leave it!"

"You..." CharmingPrince thought for a moment and said, "Then I’ll pay for it myself; give me two more!"

"Alright! Please wait a moment!"

"..."

A few minutes later, CharmingPrince left the convenience store, his face dark, holding five Fire Spirit Talismans.

Ten million dollars? Damn it! Such harsh treatment even for one of their own!

If it weren’t for the rejuvenation of spiritual energy, who would spend ten million on these lousy papers?

CharmingPrince clenched his teeth, the faces of those at the airport flashing in his mind.

With these Fire Spirit Talismans, my power will be greatly enhanced. Watch how I’ll deal with you tonight!
