The Strongest Abandoned Son
Chapter 03: The Psychotic Who Sold the Mantra
After thanking Wang Ying, Ye Mo returned to school because he had nowhere to go now except there. He was unfamiliar with this place, but there were at least some things he could learn there. Moreover, the Chi spirits here were extremely rare, but it seemed to be richer within the school.
After the last class, he did not go to his English teacher. To him, there was no difference whether he was passing by or failing, and there was no need to listen to a woman babbling. Although he had yet to cultivate, his memory was incredible, so if he wanted to learn something, he could go straight to the library.
In the following days, Ye Mo would go to the library when he was not cultivating. He sometimes goes to some classes that he likes. As for failing due to his presence, he did not care at all.
The dormitory originally housed four people; however, one of them was in an internet cafe all day while the other rented outside with another girl, living the life of a couple; a third person lives in the city center. Ye Mo often cultivated in the small forest right outside the university. Every time he cultivated, it would often be all night, so his dorm was often completely empty since the only person living in the dormitory was most likely Ye Mo. Every three days, he would return for a good night's sleep while the rest of the time would be spent cultivating.
Although he knew that there would be no results in cultivating in a place like this, his long-term habit had left him with nothing better to do than cultivate. Fortunately, he had a great memory and would remember things he loved with one look that saved him a huge amount.
Ye Mo who did not stand out in his past life considered the more humble after coming to this strange environment. However, after the show love letter last time, he still received the nickname “lover outside bedroom”. Nevertheless, Ye Mo would not care at all, everything was still as it should be.
At first, everyone thought he had thick skin to enter the dining room and library with apathy, but after some time, no one noticed him anymore. It was as if he was an insignificant drop of water in the ocean, just barely there.
After two months, Ye Mo had just reached the first stage of the Chi Gathering. This was because he was cultivating day and night, as well as spending the 20,000 dollars that Wang Ying had brought for Chinese potions and soups.
However, he also knew that, without external things to help him, the first stage of the Chi Gathering would probably be the last stage he would reach throughout his life.
Although his cultivation progress was not much, he had obtained quite a lot from the library. Not only did he use two months to study everything from elementary school to high school, but he also scanned all kinds of books on medicine as well as other metaphysical matters.
Although he felt that metaphysical knowledge was very superficial in this world, he did not waste much time on them. After all, he was only at the first stage of the Chi Gathering right now.
During the Summer holidays, the school library was being built, and Ye Mo had nowhere to go. Unfortunately, now, he was in a financial crisis again, and there was not much money left on him. He only has about 2,000 dollars. If he doesn't find a job on Summer's vacation and earn money, then eating will be a problem. He needed to cultivate and it had already become a habit. Only cultivation would give him direction in his life, and without money, this was impossible. Moreover, his salary from a steady job would be a joke to be able to cultivate; the decision to take the time to cultivate or to get a job was difficult.
He knew how to concoct pills; however, he was only at the first stage of the Chi Gathering and could not prepare pills, but even if he could really, were there spiritual herbs or pill cauldrons? Therefore, he had to give up the thought of concocting pills. The good thing is that she also knows how to make charms [1]. At the first stage of the Chi Gathering, he could not make a high-level spell, but he could still make some low-level spirit cleansing spells, ghost repelling spells, and even more, protective charm or even simple fireball charm, and so on.
Fortunately, with Huang Biao's best quality [2] here and some potions, he could make it an attraction. After all this, the remaining 2,000 dollars of Ye Mo was almost exhausted.
Cinnabar, the blood of roosters and some cheap herbs are made into charms with a mild aroma. A few thousand dollars was indeed a little because he could only make 30 or so charms with all of these things combined, and this did not include the materials he had thrown away due to failure.
The good thing was, even though Ye Mo was only at the first stage of Chi Gathering, he was originally a master who could create a level 5 enchantment. Unfortunately, right now, the attraction he created didn't even have a level. With enough materials for 30 charms, she only made 8 charms. He made 2 of each among spirit cleansing charms, ghost repelling charms, protection charms, and fireball charms. Although he had only managed to make 8 spells, one of the mind clearing spells was almost made into something close to a level 1 charm due to a stroke of luck. This is a big surprise.
Eight charms took him half a month. On average, he could make one charm a day. What he had to do now was sell the amulets and, although he knew that selling the amulets was considered metaphysical propaganda here, the government did not impose a ban on him. Ning Hai has big market “Sea Treasures and ancient relic” trade market. It was also referred to by some as “Laut” Treasure Park. Not only were all kinds of ancient and interesting items sold here, but there were also people like Ye Mo who sold charms.
Ye Mo also saw the charm that people were selling here. They were all made with normal Huang Biao without spiritual Chi and would have no effect at all. However, they are all sold very cheaply: ten to tens of dollars per sheet, and rarely there are more than 100 dollars.
Of course, Ye Mo could not sell his charm cheaply, because if he really sold it at such a low price, he might as well look for a job.
To prevent being unrecognized and thus causing disruption in his peaceful life, or perhaps even captured and used as a laboratory rat, he said, Ye Mo wore a pair of large colors as well as a hat with a very low rim. He came to the Sea Treasure Garden and found a corner to set up his stall like those fortune tellers. He put some talismans on a piece of black clothes and opened his efforts like this.
Although there were many city guards in Ning Hai, there was nothing in the Treasure Park, so no one had come to disturb Ye Mo saving him a lot of trouble. If others relied on his charm amount to earn money, Ye Mo knew he could only sell it to those with sharp eyes. If it wasn't someone who could figure out how good his charm was, they wouldn't have bought his charm.
“Hm, there's a spell that expels ghosts, what is this? Yo, boss, how much charm is your ghost charm? ”A man and woman walked in front of Ye Mo with the man asking. Ye Mo did not think that there would be someone asking for a price once he set up his stall. He immediately stood up with surprised joy: “All the charms are 10,000 piece—”
“You're crazy!” Before Ye Mo finished speaking, he received those three words, followed by the backs of the two people walking into the distance.
1: This charm usually refers to those made of paper. Paper bombs on Naruto are a good indication of how they look, and most of them are consumables, so they can only be used once.
2: Huang Biao: Yellow paper is used to write runes.
