Chapter 158 Traveler?
Yinchuanfang City is located in Huainan. Unlike Yichuanfang City in the Yanyun Mountains in the north, competition is fierce and fierce. The monks here tend to be comfortable. If they can practice slowly, they will practice first, and other things will be put aside.
As a result, the culture of asceticism is prevalent in Huainan, and the sales of various elixirs are quite good, but the sales of magic weapons and talismans are not good. As leeks, casual cultivators all think about having a skill that they can get by with, and they can find a classmate in Yinchuan to get by.
Unlike Yichuan, which borders Dayan in the north, everyone is trying their best to improve their strength, fearing that they will be ambushed and killed as soon as they go out. Once you have the spiritual stones, they are immediately converted into combat power or skills, without saving money at all.
In contrast, the environment in Yinchuan is safer and attracts a larger number of low-level casual cultivators, but the market is even more sluggish.
Everyone likes to save money and find a place deep in the mountains and old forests to practice cultivation. No matter how much the capitalists stimulate consumption, they will not buy it. I just don't care about worldly affairs, I just like to stay in the mountains and valleys. Even if you say Potian, I will remain in seclusion until the end of the world.
As long as everyone messes around together, the masters of the cultivating family will have to lower their quality of life. Casual cultivators have no ambitions anyway, their future is basically monopolized, and they will be finished with a mediocre life.
After Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord came here, they found that compared to Yichuan, the market here was really deserted.
There are only a few people on the street, and all the major shops are deserted. The only place with more traffic is the brothel. Some casual cultivators are too lazy to save the spiritual stones they have earned, and use them for enjoyment.
Lin Shan didn't have the enthusiasm to go to a brothel to be romantic. Although he had a lot of money, he was not stupid.
In this kind of consumption place, you have to pay an entrance fee to enter, a coffee table fee to sit down, a viewing fee to listen to music and dance, a tea fee for fruits and snacks, service staff also have to tip, competing girls have to bid on the price, and sleep in The price for one night is sky-high.
Besides, he really had no idea about buses.
In the future, when your cultivation level is high, wouldn't it be nice to find a saint and witch from a top sect as your Taoist companion? No matter how close you are, you still have to find a true disciple from a large sect, not to mention that with your own abilities and golden fingers, you might become a giant in the world of cultivation in the future.
Investing in emotions when you are weak will not only cause more troubles in the future, but also increase your own weaknesses. It is not advisable to be strong.
He was looking for a powerful Taoist companion who could keep up with him, but he had no interest in accepting the vase.
Saint:? ? ?
Witch:? ? ?
……
Baibao Pavilion, a chain store in the world of cultivation.
The Black Skull Demon Lord was sitting in the deserted lobby, drinking spiritual tea, while puddles formed under the chair.
"Senior, here are the materials you need, a total of two thousand spirit stones."
The shopkeeper of this shop hadn't been open for a long time, and he was so happy that he had such a big customer today.
"You ask him to settle the bill."
The hooded man in gray robe took away the storage bag on the table, stretched out a dark bone claw, and pointed at the boy in white who was groping around in the corner of the store.
Looking at the bill, Lin Shan stopped looking for Gu Yun's hands, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and finally paid the money.
After leaving the Baibao Pavilion, he asked the shopkeeper about the location of the Yinchuan Auction House. The two of them walked and chatted. The Black Skull Demon Lord told him about the urgent matters that needed to be solved in this world.
"Brother, I have to break through the current realm as soon as possible. You must know that summoning creatures to the other world has a time limit for staying. Only the higher the cultivation level, the longer the time can be extended."
"How long does it take for you to return to the golden elixir stage."
"It will take about thirty years to reach the peak of foundation building. If I don't have enough materials to break through the golden elixir stage by then, I will probably be forcibly recalled by the hell world itself!"
"Is there such a thing?"
The news came a bit suddenly, and Lin Shan was caught off guard. After the Black Skeleton Demon Lord explained the summoning contract to him in detail, he had to believe its words.
The advantages of having the Black Skull Demon Lord by his side definitely outweigh the disadvantages. Not only can he guide his cultivation from a high position, but he can also arrange various large formations and provide considerable combat power. Of course, he cannot let him go easily.
"What other materials do you need? How much of the spiritual stone gap is left?"
"The total of ordinary materials is about 100,000 spirit stones. You can always collect this if you don't rush and take your time. The key is two rare materials!"
"Oh?"
"Konjac fruit, the skeleton of a golden elixir stage monk."
Lin Shan stopped and turned around to look at the skeleton who was standing and talking without any back pain. Unexpectedly, the latter did not shy away and even added an explanation.
"It must be a fresh skeleton of a golden elixir stage monk who has just died or died no more than two months ago."
"Brother, let's terminate the contract!" "Okay, I want it!"
"No, I'm joking"
This requirement is indeed difficult to make. How big the gap is between the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage can be seen by simply transforming spiritual power into mana and using two magic weapons.
The two of them wanted to kill the golden elixir-level monks, which was like an old man hanging himself because he didn't want to live too long.
Unlike the spiritual consciousness of the Foundation Establishment Stage, which can be spread out for a hundred meters, the spiritual consciousness of the Golden Core Stage monks can be spread over a radius of one mile. In other words, from the perspective of combat radius alone, the face-to-face range is five times that of yours!
It is estimated that before he could even touch it, a magic weapon was thrown at him from a distance. How to resist the power of the magic weapon of the monks and envoys in the Golden Core Stage in the Foundation Establishment Stage? When a high-level magic weapon meets a magic weapon, it is no different than paper.
Moreover, the golden elixir stage monks have great magical power and amazing escape speed. They cannot catch up or escape.
Even if you set up a dragnet and layer upon layer of formations that can resist the golden elixir stage, how can you determine whether someone has a defensive magic weapon? Do you know the formation knowledge? Is there any way to break the ban?
The golden elixir stage has a lifespan of four hundred years, which is enough for them to master one of the six arts of cultivation. They must all be talented and capable people, how can they be killed so easily by their juniors.
"It's a pity that the bones of Kame Master were found in the East China Sea."
"I had just arrived at that time, and it was impossible to return to the peak of foundation building in two months."
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord shook his head, and the creatures summoned by the cursed magical power had no cultivation at the beginning, and could only be improved by absorbing the cultivation from the host's body.
It originally responded to the curse call and came to Kame Master's apprentice, but Lin Shan followed closely and killed the host.
As a result, it had no way to take advantage of the opportunity to improve quickly. Otherwise, it would have already reached the foundation-building stage after absorbing the foundation-building stage cultivation of Guizhenren's apprentice, and there would be no need to sign any contract with Lin Shan.
"Then you can only hope that I will be the first to break through the Golden Core Stage within thirty years, and then help you find the bones of the Golden Core Stage monks?"
Lin Shan couldn't help but be speechless. In thirty years, from the early stage of foundation building to the golden elixir stage, no one would dare to boast about this Haikou.
Although he has the help of the enhanced panel, he can use tricks to break through bottlenecks, but normal practice also requires accumulation over time, step by step, and slowly polishing it. Thirty years is too short.
The Black Skeleton Demon King was at ease. He told Lin Shan not to worry. There would be a way to the mountain. He had to get the other materials and the konjac fruit first, and the golden elixir-stage corpses could be taken slowly later.
……
While walking and chatting, we came to the prime location surrounding the center of the store, Yinchuan Auction House.
The auction house was built in an antique style, yet it was also majestic. As soon as the two entered the hall, they were greeted by a maid.
"Yinchuan Auction House welcomes you two seniors, please come in!"
"I'm looking for Mr. Zhang, the chief appraiser."
"He just happens to be resting in the back hall today. Senior, if you don't mind, come with me."
Lin Shan and the Black Skull Demon Lord followed. The maid in front led them straight to the depths of the hall, turned to the right and walked about ten meters before stopping in front of a room door with a "please" gesture.
Before entering, you can hear rustling conversations coming from inside the house. It seems that they are an old man and a young man.
“How about the essential oil back massage just now?”
"Not bad."
"Where's the Thai 18 touch?"
“Very cool.”
“What about ancient SPA?”
“Authentic.”
“What about head acupressure?”
“Comfortable.”
Lin Shan's footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped. This familiar recipe, this familiar taste! Apart from him, is there anyone else in this world who knows this kind of massage technique?
Has anyone traveled through time like me?
