Song Ciwan bought ten taels of silver worth of Talisman Paper from Ma the Fourth, then asked about the prices of the finished Talismans on the side.
For common Level One Talismans like the Light Body Talisman and Exorcism Talisman, Ma the Fourth announced with a grin, "Light Body Talismans are one tael of silver each, and Exorcism Talismans are two for three taels. If you buy ten or more, little brother, I'll even throw in an extra one for free."
As he stated his prices, Song Ciwan put on the facade of a simple-minded youth and smiled, all while rapidly doing the math in her head.
'Blank Talisman Paper costs one tael for twelve sheets, but a single Low Level Light Body Talisman costs a whole tael of silver! The price difference is more than tenfold!'
'From the looks of it, the craft of Talisman Making has a lot of potential. Knowledge and skill truly are the primary means of production. That's a truth that holds in any world!'
