Chapter 12: Being followed
After a while.
The messenger symbol flashed.
Shopkeeper Chen replied: "The cheapest alley rental price is five yuan for medium-grade spiritual stones per year. A group of monks just arrived yesterday, and there are basically no vacancies. Now there are only places available for rent in the market. The price of the remaining small courtyards is more than 20 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones every year, depending on the location and environment!”
Definitely.
Shen Ping gave up the idea completely.
But just when he sighed.
The talisman flickered again.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you want to live in Fang City, you can wait a little longer. According to internal news, Jin Yang Sect has recruited many monks this time to develop the Yanjin Mine. Yesterday was just the first batch, and there will be more later. "
"The entire living area of Fang City is a bit small, so Jinyang Sect is planning to expand Fang City to the east and will build some small courtyards to accommodate more senior monks."
< br>
Hear the news.
Shen Ping immediately replied, "Shopkeeper Chen, I can't afford to live alone in a small courtyard!"
Shopkeeper Chen said, "Fellow Daoist Shen can share the house with other monks."
> Shen Ping was stunned, "Can the small courtyard be shared?"
You must know that those who can afford to rent the small courtyard to live alone are mostly late-stage monks who have reached the eighth level of Qi training, and some are even foundation-building monks.
What they consider is not the price, but the Reiki environment.
Not to mention.
Monks care about privacy.
No one wants to live in a shared apartment with other monks. If they look up and down every day, all kinds of information will be easily exposed.
Shopkeeper Chen replied, "I don't know the details. I will know when the small courtyard is built. Fellow Daoist Shen, these are secondary. The top priority now is to make the talisman quickly. In the future, the monks will become more and more If there are more, the price of talisman seals will rise!”
Shen Ping responded quickly, "I understand!"
After the end.
He pondered.
Shopkeeper Chen actually knows some of Jinyang Sect’s subsequent plans, which undoubtedly shows that there are inner disciples of Jinyang Sect and even higher-status monks behind him.
It seems that we will have to increase our cooperative relationship with Xiuchun Pavilion in the future.
Like this news.
The other party also gave it for the sake of many cooperations.
"We have to break through to the middle stage of Qi training as soon as possible and make high-quality talismans and seals..."
Fangshi is much safer than Hongliuxiang.
After removing the poison from his body, Shen Ping would rather spend more spiritual stones and move it there. This is very important to him.
In Hongliu Lane, every time you go out it's a matter of life and death.
He had lived in such a precarious life for many years, and he had long been tired of it.
……
Next.
Shen Ping began to reduce his rest time.
Every time it's Yin o'clock, they get up and make talismans.
Such hard work makes my wife and concubines feel even more distressed.
Even Bai Yuying's favorability score increased by 5 points.
Dong-dong.
There was a sound at the door of the house.
Shen Ping opened the door.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I am a newly rented monk nearby..."
I am a new neighbor.
Except for fellow Taoist Yu, the house on the other side of his neighbor has been empty for more than half a year. That monk was one of the first to venture to the Yunshan swamp to open a way. Although there is no news of his death, it seems that now it is 80% is dead.
After a few words of greeting, the other party left.
And the days after.
The number of monks visiting our homes gradually increased.
After all, Shen Ping is one of the very few middle-grade talisman masters in Hongliu Lane, and has lived here for many years. Most of the newly rented monks will come over to inquire about the general situation of Hongliu Lane.
He couldn't refuse the visit either.
That would seem a bit aloof and aloof.
So I could only bite the bullet and talk to these monks. Until early July.
Visiting monks is much less frequent.
The main reason is that there are almost no vacant houses in Hongliu Lane.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, our alchemist He Daoyou from Hongliu Lane died in the wild the day before yesterday.”
This day.
When Shen Ping went out to relax and soothe his boring thoughts, fellow Taoist Yu next door happened to pour bath water on him and told him the news.
“Dead?”
He was slightly startled.
I still remember how proud Daoyou He was when he came to the door for the first time and introduced himself as the alchemist. Later, he was so obsessed with the flowers that he was in a state of embarrassment. Unexpectedly, he was gone just a short time later.
Yu Yan sneered and said, "It's a shame. I asked you to lend him the spirit stone."
Shen Ping ignored Yu Yan's sarcasm and asked, "How did you die?"
"That guy's reputation has long been bad. Recently, many strange monks have rented in. He took the opportunity to borrow a lot of spiritual stones by using his reputation as an alchemist, and then spent them all on the belly of the female cultivator in Tianyin Pavilion. He was borrowed Two of the monks are in the late stage of Qi training..."
Yu Yan said and returned to the room, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you have finally broken through to the middle-level Talisman Master, so don't fall on the woman's belly too."
Chen Ping smiled bitterly, Daqing Yuyan said this news just to take the opportunity to ridicule him!
"Does this widow really like me?"
He touched his middle-aged greasy face and shook his head secretly.
Ten days have passed.
With the painstaking efforts in making the talisman.
He finally used up all the talisman materials he purchased last time, dozens of days ahead of schedule.
"The price of high-quality detoxifying pills has increased again. Fortunately, the prices of amulets and flame talismans have also increased slightly. After this sale, you can buy detoxifying pills!"
Shen Ping holds a fortune worth nearly three thousand dollars. A large number of talismans, including ten middle-grade spiritual stones, walked out of the door of his house.
He was extremely vigilant along the way.
Nowadays, there are many strange monks in all the alleys, and no one knows how many robbery cultivators there are.
Just walked halfway.
He sensed a monk following behind him.
Shen Ping suddenly became nervous. He immediately held the flame talisman, the ground trap talisman, and the freezing talisman in his hand. This time he went out with more than fifteen amulets on his body, which can stimulate the body-protecting aura more than ten times. , as long as he is not a senior monk, he can sustain dozens of breaths.
Speed up the pace.
Turning a corner, he saw several monks talking. The monk following him noticed and immediately hid in a dark corner.
He felt a little at ease and took the opportunity to quickly throw it away.
One of the senior monks among these monks only glanced at Shen Ping and looked away when he saw that he was only at the third level of Qi training.
We passed three more corners in a row.
The main road is right in front of you.
It is rare for a Jie cultivator to take action in a place like this. Whenever there is some movement, it will attract the attention of many monks. It is difficult for a Jie cultivator to dispose of corpses and plunder property.
It didn’t take long.
Shen Ping arrived at Fangshi safe and sound.
This time he did not go directly to Xiuchun Pavilion first. Instead, he went to other shops and sold half of the talisman seals. After removing the purchased talisman seal materials, he had ten more middle-grade spiritual stones on his body. Just entered Xiuchun Pavilion.
“Come on, Fellow Daoist Shen!”
Shopkeeper Chen greeted us warmly.
Still the same old rules.
Shen Ping took out the talismans from the storage bag. This time, in addition to the amulets and fire talismans, there were also several ground trap talismans and freezing talismans.
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist Shen's level of talisman skills has improved again, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Luckily, I succeeded."
Shen Ping replied modestly He said, this is a little bit of his own value. Shopkeeper Chen has a good background, and he may be able to get more information from the other party in the future.
Shopkeeper Chen settled quickly.
After deducting the material cost, he obtained eight middle-grade spiritual stones from here.
Count the savings in the storage bag.
He now has thirty-five middle-grade spiritual stones.
"Shopkeeper Chen, I wonder if the high-quality detoxifying pills are still in stock?"
