Chapter 56: Counting the Treasures
The reason why he exposed his true level of alchemy.
No one in Qingyuefang knows his origins or how long he has been learning the art of alchemy.
Secondly, when he is away from home, he also needs an identity. As the head of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, Alchemist has a high status and is respected by everyone. The middle-grade level allows him to quickly enter the upper circle of Qingyuefang.
In the future, whether it is news or resources, it will be more convenient to obtain them.
Just talk about the current benefits.
You only need to pay half the price to rent a cave.
"There are six caves with alchemy rooms here. I don't know which one is my favorite?" After listening to Zhou Xun's request, the middle-aged man took out a one-foot-square magic weapon and tapped the magic formula gently.
The miniatures of six mini caves appear in it.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Xun was amazed and then started to choose.
Finally, he selected a medium-sized cave with a hall, alchemy room, exercise room, and a spiritual kitchen.
"Ten spiritual stones a year, fellow Taoist only needs five. I wonder how many years you plan to rent it?" The middle-aged man said after seeing Zhou Xun's choice.
"Five years!" Zhou Xun replied,
"By the way, my two junior brothers and sisters also need to choose a cave each!" Then Zhou Xun pointed at Lin Xueying and Wang Er The two cows said.
They had already discussed before that Zhou Xun, Lin Xueying, and Wang Erniu would pretend to be brothers and sisters, and Lin Xue'e and her daughter would also be Wang Erniu's wife and daughter.
Zhou Xun showed off his strength as a first-level mid-level alchemist, while Lin Xueying and Wang Erniu showed off his abilities as a first-level low-level alchemist.
After all, the appearance of two young first-level mid-level alchemists at the same time is too attracting attention.
"It turns out that the two of them are also alchemy masters. Please forgive Song for his blindness!" Song Zhishu smiled even more.
“The shopkeeper is so polite!”
Subsequently, Lin Xueying and Wang Erniu each chose a cave.
"Three first-level buildings, five years of lease, seventy-five spirit stones as a courtesy!" The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled slightly and reported a number.
"My junior fellow apprentice is only a low-grade alchemist, how can I take advantage of this!" Zhou Xun declined.
You can get some discounts if you get them, but if you take possession of things that don't belong to you, you will owe a favor, and it's not easy to repay favor debts.
“You are a middle-grade alchemist at such a young age, so what does a mere cave mean?” The middle-aged shopkeeper complimented him politely, and then continued:
“Let’s be honest with you, fellow Taoist. My brother is in charge of the clan’s elixir business, and now we are short of the supply of elixirs. If you can refine elixirs, please give my brother a chance!”
At this time, the middle-aged man finally expressed his intention.
Since it is a transaction and everyone gets what they want, Zhou Xun naturally has no reason to refuse.
What's more, since he first came here, he had access to the Song family's elixir manager, which would make it easier for him to take advantage of the elixir.
So I agreed immediately.
After that, he took out seventy-five spirit stones and rented three caves.
Taking the token and led by the servant, he headed towards the cave.
Of the three caves, Wang Erniu’s is a little further away, while Lin Xueying’s is next to Zhou Xun.
Since coming out of Hongyefang, several people have been running for their lives, so they have been almost inseparable for nearly a year, which has made it difficult for Zhou Xun to count his loot.
The nearest one is the bone jade belonging to the elder of the Wu family, and the slightly further one is the storage bag of the Wei brothers.
Now it’s time to take stock.
The first thing to check was the bone jade belonging to the eldest elder of the Wu family.
It is a pity that he failed to obtain the storage bag from the elder of the Wu family. Otherwise, Zhou Xun would have had the resources to reach the peak of Qi training and even the foundation building stage.
You know, this is the great elder of a family, and he is much richer than ordinary foundation-building monks.
Zhou Xun held the bone jade in his hands, his hands were delicate and there was a greasy feeling when he touched it gently.
Immediately injected with mana, there was no change in the bone jade.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xun probed into it with his spiritual consciousness.
Sure enough, it contains a divination technique that is extremely rare in the world of cultivation.
Divination is also one of the various arts of cultivation.
It’s just that this kind of skill inheritance is so rare that most monks have never heard of it.
This is Zhou Xun, and this is the first time I’ve met him. According to what is said above, the art of divination has the ability to predict good and bad luck, avoid disaster, know life and death, judge yin and yang, determine cause and effect, and control luck.
It is a strange and unpredictable technique in the world.
Unfortunately, the threshold for this kind of thaumaturgy is extremely high. Even if you want to get started, you still need at least the foundation-building level.
The divination technique recorded on this bone jade was inherited by the ancient Nascent Soul monk Dzi Bead Old Man tens of thousands of years ago.
At that time, the old man Tianzhu, with his cultivation level in the middle stage of Yuanying, was able to resist the great monks in the late stage of Yuanying several times. He relied on this strange divination technique.
Seeing that the power of this thaumaturgy was so great, Zhou Xun was a little unwilling to accept it, and forcefully checked the contents:
"Yang generates the energy of all things, and Yin hides the form of all things"
I just read a sentence, I felt like the world was spinning and it was difficult to control myself.
Knowing that immortal cultivators are immune to all diseases, Zhou Xun was so shocked that he immediately stopped reading.
"This technique is really evil. I'd better understand it after building the foundation!" After resting for a while, Zhou Xun returned to normal, so he put the bone jade away properly.
Then, they began to count the storage bags of the Wei brothers.
There are not many spiritual stones, only about four hundred.
There are only a dozen middle-grade talismans, and the rest were probably used when capturing Lin Xueying.
However, one of them is extremely precious, which is the second-level earth escape talisman.
The reason why this talisman can remain until now is because the activation of the second-level talisman must be guided by spiritual consciousness.
However, Wei Shangli was only in the middle stage of Qi training and had not yet awakened his spiritual consciousness, so he could not use it.
This second-level earth escape talisman is actually an advantage for Zhou Xun.
Otherwise, given the situation at the time, if he directly used the Earth Escape Talisman to escape, there would be nothing Zhou Xun could do.
There is also a low-grade defensive weapon, which belongs to Wei Shangren.
For some reason, it was not used that day.
In addition, there are a lot of talismans and classics, which surprised Zhou Xun.
From the basic to the advanced, from beginner to first-level mid-level, everything is available.
Except for the middle grade, the rest were obtained from Wei Shangsheng's storage bag. It seems that his brother Wei Shangli prepared them for him, hoping that he could become a first-level talisman master as soon as possible.
However, Wei Shangren is impetuous and domineering, so he cannot bear to study the art of talismans.
Now everything is cheaper Zhou Xun.
Finally, there are two jade boxes, which look extraordinary at first glance, and have spirit-sealing restraining talismans affixed to them.
Seeing this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but look expectant.
To be treated with such solemnity, the treasure inside must be of great importance.
Zhou Xun first took the long jade box.
A magic formula was applied, and the spirit-sealing talisman floated down.
Open the box gently.
A green jade slip lay quietly inside.
Inject spiritual consciousness to view.
"The True Interpretation of Luo Family Talismans"
Sure enough!
The Lingfu Luo family's talisman inheritance ranges from the first-level low-grade to the second-level low-grade.
"It is said that the Luo family has produced talisman masters who are close to the third level, but this inheritance can only be traced to the second level and the lower level. It seems that it is not the complete version!" Zhou Xun guessed.
But the second-order low-grade is enough.
Then he opened the second jade box using the same technique.
This sight made Zhou Xun's heart beat fast.
