“Young Clan Leader,”
Chen Daochu cupped his hands.” This Spiritual Talisman Factory can only be considered a small factory. As you can see, there are only 20 machines in total.
According to the speed of a machine producing eight spiritual talismans in two hours, a maximum of 96 spiritual talismans could be produced in twenty-four hours a day.”
“Wait, are you saying that this Spiritual Talisman Factory doesn’t stop working all day long?”
“That’s right. Why should we stop?”
Chen Daochu looked at Chen Daoxuan with a strange face. The talisman factory was different from the magic tool factory and the pill factory. The magic tool factory and the pill factory were limited by the number of cultivators in the family. They had to stop. After all, cultivators were also humans. They couldn’t stop working.
But the machines in the talisman factory could! I’ve arranged for three shifts of ordinary workers. Each worker only needs to work for eight hours to keep this factory running day and night.”
As he spoke, Chen Daochu’s face was filled with pride.
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan didn’t know what to say. He waved his hand and said,””It’s fine. You can continue.”
Chen Daochu nodded.” Most of the spiritual jades we’re buying now come from Jin ‘an Prefecture. The price is much lower than the original 50 spiritual stones in Guang* an Prefecture. You can buy a high-quality superior-grade Level One spiritual jade for only 4.0 spiritual stones.
Spiritual talismans made from superior-grade Level One Spiritual Jade are about 80 to 100 Spiritual Stones. For example, our Wind Blade Technique Spiritual Talismans can only be sold for 80 Spiritual Stones each.
For example, some defensive talismans were more expensive, about 100 spirit stones.
However, as more and more spirit stones are flowing into Guang ‘an Prefecture from Jin’ an Prefecture, the price of spirit talismans has also been decreasing. Compared to before, the average price has dropped by about ten spirit stones.
” In total, our Spiritual Talisman Factory makes a profit of about 30 Spiritual Stones for every Spiritual Talisman produced.”
Hearing Chen Daochu’s description.
Chen Daoxuan finally had a preliminary estimate of the profit of this small talisman factory.
They did not consider the labor cost of mortals.
A small factory with 20 Spiritual Talisman engraving machines could produce up to 1920 Spiritual Talismans a day, with a daily profit of 57600 Spiritual Stones and an annual profit of more than 21 million.
If that was the case, it was almost comparable to the Chen family’s magical equipment factory.
When Chen Fusheng heard this, he was also dumbfounded.
How big was this talisman factory?
Compared to the other five factories of the Chen family, it was simply a small workshop. Moreover, there was not even a single cultivator in the factory, but its profit ability was comparable to a large magic tool factory.
As for whether the Chen family would lower the price of the spiritual talismans if they mass-produced them.
Theoretically, there would definitely be some influence. However, the cultivation world was extremely vast, and the market for spiritual talismans was the same.
Moreover, spiritual talismans were different from magic tools. They were consumables that were not easy to store. Moreover, due to the constant disputes in the cultivation world, the market demand for spiritual talismans was large.
The Chen family’s little bit of production capacity, don’t say, let the cultivation world’s market saturated, let the Cangzhou market saturated, don’t necessarily be able to do it.
Seeing Chen Fusheng gulping unconsciously, Chen Daoxuan smiled and said,””It seems that this talisman factory is going to replace the pill factory and the magic tool factory and become the biggest source of income for my Chen family.”
“Ahem,”
Hearing Chen Daoxuan’s affirmation, Chen Daochu became humble instead.” Young Clan Leader, the tests of our Spiritual Talisman Factory have not ended yet. Perhaps the Spiritual Talisman Photolittering Machine has some other defects.”
“Not bad, you’ve learned to be humble now.”
Chen Daoxuan laughed loudly.
After laughing for a while, Chen Daoxuan stopped smiling and said seriously,””In short, 1’11 leave the matter of the Spiritual Talisman Factory to your Magical Equipment Research Institute. In the future, you’ll have to assign a specialized research force to continue to tackle the technical problems of the Spiritual Talisman Photolittering Machine.
For example, the types of talisman engraving machines, higher-grade talisman engraving machines, and so on.
Also, don’t forget what you promised me before. You’ll also realize automated production in the magic tool factory and the pill factory.”
As he spoke, Chen Daoxuan looked at him deeply.
Hearing this.
Chen Daochu’s happy expression immediately changed, and he said,””Young Clan Leader, the success of the Spiritual Talisman Illumination Machine is mainly due to the puppet technique of the Thousand Engineering Palace.
If we were to do our own research, who knows how much time it would take?
However, automating the magic tool factory and the pill factory…”
Chen Daochu shook his head and said nothing more.
Chen Daoxuan also knew that this was something that had no clue at all.
It was not difficult to solve the problem of shaping the magic tool factory. However, it was really difficult to invent a machine to solve the problem of fusing the magic tool embryo.
It was the same for the pill factory.
The higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the more complicated the final medicinal pill fusion was.
When refining some high-level pills, cultivators would need to cultivate a special pill fusion technique, which was extremely complicated.
The difficulty of automating the production of these two things was unimaginable.
Looking at Chen Daochu’s expression, Chen Daoxuan knew that this request was a little difficult for him. He smiled and said,” 1 don’t want to be pressured. 1 just want to give you a research direction. As for whether I can do it or not, who knows?
If the Thousand Engineering Palace could create a magical formation like the Spirit Manipulation Formation, perhaps you, Chen Daochu, could also create a revolutionary magical tool that will be passed down in the future?”
“Yes.”
Chen Daochu nodded upon hearing these words of encouragement.
When he first established the Research Institute, he had followed Chen Daoxuan’s instructions. But as new magical artifacts were born in his hands one after another, Chen Daochu had completely fallen in love with developing new magical artifacts.
Chen Daochu realized that every time he developed a new magic tool, he would feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
This feeling made him even more excited than the increase in his cultivation.
After they finished talking business.
Chen Daoxuan turned his head to look at the strange spiritual artifact that looked like a dark wall in the laboratory and asked,””You were watching this just now?”
“Yes.”
Chen Daochu’s face was full of excitement when he talked about this new type of magic tool developed by the Hall of Magic Tools of the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
Chen Daoxuan had a deep impression of the Hall of Magical Artifacts in the Qianyuan Sword Sect.
The most impressive thing about the Hall of Magical Artifacts of the Qianyuan Sword Sect was when he saw Zhang Yu holding a magical artifact that could be used to exchange for battle merits, the Arc Shadow Disc.
When Chen Daoxuan first saw the disk, he was truly shocked by it.
It was hard for him to imagine that there was such a genius in this world who could use a magic tool to ensure the healthy operation of the military merit system of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
Then, Chen Daoxuan met Hall Master Huyan of the Hall of Magical Artifacts in the Qianyuan Sword Sect and was protected by him. Naturally, he had a deeper impression of the Hall of Magical Artifacts.
Standing at the side, Chen Daodao Chu continued,””Strictly speaking, this magic tool is neither an offensive magic tool nor a defensive magic tool. It’s not even an auxiliary magic tool.”
“Oh?”
Hearing that it was another special magic tool, Chen Daoxuan’s interest was piqued.
He looked at the thick turtle shell curiously. He thought it was a new type of defensive magic tool, but Chen Daochu told him it wasn’t.
Seeing Chen Daoxuan’s curious expression, Chen Daochu chuckled and said,””To be precise, this is a special magic tool that can measure the strength of cultivators.”
” The strength of a cultivator?”
Chen Daoxuan frowned.
“Yes!”
Chen Daochu nodded and his face became serious.” Actually, 1 also realized this problem after I built my foundation. I’m a Foundation Building cultivator, but I’m not a match for Fusheng in private…”
At this point, Chen Daochu’s expression turned slightly awkward.
Chen Fusheng’s expression froze and he said shyly,””Uncle Daochu…”
“You don’t need to comfort me. Anyway, according to the duties of the young clan leader, 1 will rarely have the opportunity to charge forward for the clan.”
Chen Daochu smiled bitterly.” Since then, I’ve been wondering if it’s accurate to measure a cultivator’s strength purely based on their cultivation base.”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan’s expression turned serious.
This wasn’t just Chen Daochu’s question, it was also his question.
Logically speaking, Chen Daoxuan’s own power had long since surpassed the understanding of Foundation Establishment cultivators. In fact, even the vast majority of Zifu Disciples were no match for him.
Purely using cultivation to measure his strength was no longer generally unreliable.
Moreover, there were many cultivators like Chen Daoxuan in the cultivation world.
The problem that Chen Daoxuan and the others could find, the Qian Yuan Sword Sect, such a behemoth, naturally would not be unable to find it.
Therefore, the Hall of Magical Artifacts of the Qianyuan Sword Sect produced such a special magical artifact that could measure the strength of a cultivator..
