Chapter 29 Setting up a stall, Luo Qing
“It seems that I have to buy a book about the introduction of the immortal city, otherwise I will know nothing about the world of immortality, and it will be too easy to be plotted by others.”
Lu Xiaotian thought this way, he has suffered several losses due to ignorance, even the time he was discovered by the young man in gold robe, it was a fluke to be safe and sound. But Lu Xiaotian knows that good luck will not always favor him.
"Sell the demon elixir. The demon elixir for the second-level spiritual beast red-blooded python only costs eleven low-grade spiritual stones."
"Sell the skill. The ancient inherited skill "Fire Cloud" "Gong" only requires six low-grade spiritual stones."
In addition to shops, there are also some stalls set up by cultivators on both sides of the street, selling spiritual herbs and martial arts.
“This fellow Taoist, come and take a look. I have all kinds of exercises here. For those who cultivate immortality, it is especially important to choose a suitable exercise. If the exercise is not good, it will not work in the future. It is difficult to practice to a high level, and you may even miss foundation building in your life."
A burly man with a face as red as a red date shouted very hard, seeing Lu Xiaotian saying enthusiastically.
“I already have the skills to practice.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if you have it. You can also take a look. Your cultivation level is not high yet. If the method you practice is not suitable, change it to something else as soon as possible. If you wait until later and want to change it, it will be too late." The red-faced man continued nonchalantly.
"I heard that the "Hunyuan Jing" is not bad, do you have it here?" Lu Xiaotian asked with an idea. His Hunyuan Jing can only be practiced to the middle stage of Qi refining. In the past two years, he has also referred to several exercises obtained from the black-robed old man's storage bag, including those with fire attributes, water attributes, and earth attributes. Although both can be practiced, it does not feel as smooth as practicing the "Hunyuan Jing".
""Hunyuan Jing"? What the hell? I've never heard of it. There are too many unknown techniques like this. I advise you to give up as soon as possible and modify the ancient secret techniques I have here. Look. This book, "Cold Water Jue", is said to have been written by a member of our Loose Cultivator Alliance in Wangyue City hundreds of years ago. A senior foundation builder practiced this kind of technique, and he also has this book."
The red-faced man kept introducing several techniques on the stall, but most of what he said were rumors. There was no real evidence. After hearing a few words, Lu Xiaotian felt that this guy was just talking. However, the few skills he had on him were of little use. It would be good if he could exchange them for some spiritual stones.
Lu Xiaotian took a few exercise books and looked through them, but did not find the same exercises. However, the exercises on the red-faced man’s stall were basically used in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, so he asked , "Why don't the exercises here come from the later stage of Qi refining?"
The red-faced man said, "This fellow Taoist is joking. The price of a complete set of exercises is too high for my small family. You don't have the capital, but these exercises of mine have their origins, and you can find them in the middle volume or the second volume in specialized exercise shops. In addition, fellow Taoists, don't aim too high. You are still just practicing Qi. In the early stage, it may take more than ten years to reach the middle stage of Qi refining. As for the middle stage to the later stage, it will take even longer. Even if you buy the later stage exercises, you may not really need them in the future.”
So that's it. Lu Xiaotian asked again, "Do you have any introduction about spiritual grass, spiritual beasts, or some secrets about the world of cultivating immortals? Also, I want a map near Wangyue City."
"Oh, so you need it. This is it, I have a map of the Immortal City here, as for a low-grade spiritual stone. Fellow Taoist introductions about spiritual grasses, monster beasts, and some secret methods in the world of immortality, I suggest you go to a specialized store, "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Grasses" and "Collection of Monster Beasts", which record some common growth habits of spiritual grasses. , as well as the activity habits and strength divisions of some monsters, etc., as for some secret method records, After all, few people who cultivate immortals will publicize the secret techniques they cultivate, which is extremely detrimental to future fighting, so most others can only rely on spectators, rumors, or personal fighting experience. Record it. Keep going forward on this street. Take the second left at the intersection ahead, and there is a shop run by the Nangong family, which specializes in selling these."
The red-faced man quickly put down the technique in his hand, and then took out a scroll from the storage bag, fearing that it would not be the same. Lu Xiaotian didn't buy from him, so he was extremely careful when introducing these.
"Okay, thank you." Lu Xiaotian nodded. There should be map scrolls to buy at the store, but after hearing the red-faced man talking for so long and asking some questions, he felt a little embarrassed not to buy it. In addition, the stalls are somewhat cheaper than those in regular shops.
After taking the scroll, Lu Xiaotian followed the red-faced man's instructions and came to the shop run by the Nangong family. The exercises inside were indeed dazzling, and the books on display were far from comparable to those of the red-faced man. Lu Xiaotian asked specifically, but there was still no "Hunyuan Jing", but the shop owner suggested that he go to the largest Kung Fu shop run by the Nie family in the city to have a look, as there might be news.
Lu Xiaotian thanked the shopkeeper and bought the "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Grasses" and "Collection of Monster Beasts" for three spiritual stones. There is a piece of spiritual stone missing in the storage bag. It's really heartbreaking. Three spiritual stones are enough for him to cast spells dozens of times. It seems that spiritual stones should be the common currency of immortal cultivators, just like gold and silver used by mortals, but the role of spiritual stones is much greater than that of gold and silver.
After coming out, Lu Xiaotian walked around the area, found another talisman shop, and bought the most common fireball talisman.
The price of spiritual talismans is really ridiculously expensive. A fireball talisman actually costs a low-grade spiritual stone. After Lu Xiaotian handed over the spirit stones, he was in a lot of pain while holding the fireball talisman. If he continued like this, he might soon run out of spirit stones. No wonder the Taoist priest in Qingyi wanted to fight for the fat man named Zhu after he was cheated of a few spirit stones.
In this Wangyue City, spirit stones must be used everywhere. Without spirit stones, it would be difficult to move forward, but the wages offered by various shops and workshops were not high. Lu Xiaotian visited several stores in a row and found that a low-level immortal cultivator like him who knew nothing could only earn up to four dollars a month. It ranges from five spirit stones. And just looking for the cheapest inn, a small room no more than ten feet square will cost two spiritual stones a month. However, Lu Xiaotian was eager to confirm his idea, so he did not continue to look for an inn, and directly handed over the spirit stone and stayed.
There was nothing else in the room except a bed and a chair. It couldn't be more shabby, Lu Xiaotian didn't have time to care about it, he sat upright on the bed hurriedly, with his legs crossed. At the same time, he held the fireball talisman in one hand.
Whoosh -——
In the void, there is a huge blue ball floating in the distance, with no edge visible. Within the familiar green fruit barrier, the spirit of the old man in black robe is I don’t know where I wandered to. Lu Xiaotian's consciousness moved, and a fireball talisman suddenly appeared next to him. Taking advantage of the absence of the black-robed old man's soul, Lu Xiaotian directly activated the fireball talisman.
Boom, a huge fireball appeared and hit the barrier. The fire was radiating, and the barrier remained motionless as expected.
"As expected, anything with spiritual energy can be transported into this mysterious space. The same is true for spiritual talismans, which can also be used directly."
Lu Xiaotian was overjoyed. The old man in black robe's soul was within the barrier. Although he could not threaten his safety for a while, every time he took the elixir, half of the spiritual energy was lost to the old man in black robe. How could he tolerate this? Moreover, to him, the old man in black robe was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, which could come out and bite him at any time. He didn't know how long the Qingguo Barrier would be able to trap him, so it would be better to eradicate this henchman as soon as possible.
Before, the old man in black robe was so powerful that Lu Xiaotian was helpless, but now he finally found a solution. Although the black-robed old man has almost completed his Qi refining period, there is no spiritual energy replenishment within this barrier, and his cultivation level will decrease after casting spells. Lu Xiaotian's eyes turned cold. As long as he prepared enough talismans, the old man in black robe would die.
"Huh? I just heard a noise here, why didn't I see any ghosts?"
Not long after Lu Xiaotian left, the man in black robe held the golden and red soul. The little ball appeared not far from Lu Xiaotian. He searched the surroundings several times with a suspicious look on his face, but could not find any clues. Apart from the fog, there were exposed sand grains on the ground and the damn blue barrier.
When his consciousness returned to his body, Lu Xiaotian saw that it was still early, so he left the inn again. Squatting down next to a busy street with a relatively large flow of people, he took out the three exercises from his storage bag and set up a stall. Although there were only three exercises, they were enough to practice to the later stages of Qi refining.
It has more advantages than ordinary vendors. Lu Xiaotian thought so in his heart, squatting here and waiting for help, while flipping through the "Collection of Monster Beasts" to learn about the common monsters on the edge of the Moon Mountain Range.
“The second-level demonic beasts, the red-blooded python, the first-level demonic porcupine, and even the third-level demonic porcupine king, and the fourth-level iron-backed demonic lizard are actually equivalent to the foundation-building monks. It’s really amazing!”
Lu Xiaotian watched with great interest. Only when he entered Wangyue City did he truly come into contact with the world of immortal cultivators. It turned out to be so bizarre.
"You can't sell anything by setting up a stall like this." Suddenly a delicate and slightly green voice sounded.
Lu Xiaotian looked up and saw a girl wearing a goose-yellow dress, with bright eyes and cool teeth, and beautiful features. She was carrying a small package, said something with a slight smile, and then stood less than half a foot away from him. Li Li skillfully untied the package and spread it out. There was a small purple incense burner and a few pieces of light red wood. There are also several brushes that exude a faint aura.
"You used to set up a stall?" Lu Xiaotian asked, closing the Monster Beast in his hand.
"Yes, I have been setting up a stall here during this time. Hey, this alchemy furnace has been on sale for more than a month and has not been sold." The girl shrugged and quickly smiled optimistically. He said, "But I believe it will always be sold. My name is Luo Qing, what is your name?"
"My name is Lu Xiaotian, is your alchemy furnace easy to use? How to sell it?" Lu Xiaotian said.
“The quality of my alchemy furnace is absolutely high. It is made of purple black copper, which can improve the success rate of alchemy. Even high-level alchemists can use it. It is not comparable to the ordinary red copper alchemy furnaces sold by some other vendors. Yes. What, do you need an alchemy furnace? If you do, the price can be slightly lower." Luo Qing looked at Lu Xiaotian expectantly.
