Volume 1 Beicang's First Understanding of the World's Power Chapter 10
With three low-grade spiritual stones in his arms, Xu Chenglin thought about how to use them reasonably.
"Spend one spirit stone to buy some daily food, and use the remaining two for cultivation."
With this thought in mind, he walked towards Pinxianju, which was not far from the Foreign Affairs Hall.
Xu Chenglin feels that this is the only name of Jiuhua Academy that has some connotation. Pinxianju, from this name, should be an elegant place for chatting. In fact, the so-called Pinxianju is a teahouse and market in the secular world.
It is a combination of three floors, surrounded by a tall unknown spiritual tree. There are little flowers blooming on the spiritual tree, exuding a quiet fragrance.
Still some distance away from Pinxianju, you can smell a special aroma. This aroma has no other effect, but it can make people feel happy. It's no wonder that Pinxianju is a place where spiritual stones are consumed.
When consumers are in a happy mood, who will care about the price of goods easily.
As soon as Xu Chenglin arrived at the door of Pinxianju, a young monk in simple clothes ran out from the door. The young man introduced him to Pinxianju and treated him with a smile.
"Welcome to Pinxianju. Here you can barter for things or buy them with spirit stones. I wonder what your needs are, junior brother?"
Xu Chenglin looked confused when he heard this, and subconsciously glanced inside Pinxianju.
When the young monk saw his appearance, he smiled slightly.
"You see, this is your first time coming to Pinxianju. The things sold in the east market here are related to daily life, and the things sold in the west market are related to cultivation. For things that cannot be found in the east and west markets, you can come to the central hall.
Look for me. I won’t introduce the others to my junior brother one by one, so as not to affect your judgment. If you have any other questions, you can come to me in the middle hall and ask."
Xu Chenglin felt warm in his heart when he saw the young monk's kind attitude.
"Thank you so much, senior brother! If there is any need, please ask senior brother for help."
The young monk smiled and nodded, and then left. Xu Chenglin looked at the east and west places, and then walked towards Dongshi.
The entire East City is a huge stone room. There are not many people in the stone room, but there are a lot of miscellaneous things. One wall of the stone room is filled with knives, spoons and other various cooking utensils.
There is a faint flash of light on these cooking utensils, which are obviously not ordinary cooking utensils. In the center of the stone room, there is a piece of white jade that exudes cold air. There are not many spiritual materials placed on the jade stone, and this white jade stone is the chopping board.
Opposite the white jade chopping board, there is a row of wooden shelves, with jade boxes placed on the wooden shelves. Some of the jade boxes also have spiritual talismans affixed to them. They should contain precious spiritual materials. At the door of the stone room, there is a
The green jade stele, the handwriting on the jade stele circulates, indicating the name, production materials, edible effects and prices of the immortal delicacies. Xu Chenglin did not remember much of the names, materials and effects of the immortal delicacies on the jade stele, because he was told by the jade stele.
I was deeply shocked by the price. Qingjiao Naojiang, the main ingredient is lapis lazuli, supplemented by Tianxiang leaves, purple ginger and other spiritual materials. Eating it can provide spiritual energy equivalent to twenty low-grade spiritual stones, which is worth three
Fifteen low-grade spiritual stones...
The spiritual energy of twenty low-grade spiritual stones is worth thirty-five low-grade spiritual stones. Black, not ordinary black. Xu Chenglin couldn't help but think when he looked at the price on the jade tablet, but turned around and felt relieved.
The fairy dishes cooked by the spirit chef are not only full of spiritual energy, but also easy to absorb. The most important thing is that it tastes delicious. The price is indeed not expensive from this aspect. Xu Chenglin touched the three low-grade spiritual stones in his arms
, shook his head helplessly.
"Damn the East Market, this is just a restaurant for enjoying delicious food. The things sold are so expensive, no wonder not many people come here. But in the future, when the spiritual stones are rich, I can come here to enjoy it."
After just wandering around the East Market, Xu Chenglin decided to leave. The young girl in charge of reception in the East Market wanted to go up and chat with Cheng Lin. But seeing that he just walked around, she knew that he just wanted to leave.
Just a spectator
. She watched Xu Chenglin leave with an expressionless face, without any plans to leave. She was used to seeing how many people like Xu Chenglin came to visit every day.
Xu Chenglin wandered out from the East Market and walked through the central hall to the West Market. The West Market in Pinxianju is like a street market in the secular world. The only difference from the street market in the secular world is that the vendors and customers in the West Market
They are all practitioners. The practitioners in the West Market, like ordinary vendors, set up stalls everywhere and shouted the things on their stalls. Xu Chenglin looked at the scene in the West Market and felt very friendly, but also
Something feels wrong.
Xu Chenglin thought for a while, looked at the practitioners in the West Market, and suddenly understood what was different. Yes, there were vendors wearing uniforms. The disciples in the training stage of the academy were low-level disciples, and their clothes were blue gowns.
They wear white short shirts. When their cultivation reaches the Qi Condensation stage, they are automatically promoted to high-level disciples, and their clothing is a yellow long shirt with a white short shirt. Most of the people in the West Market are low-level disciples, almost all wearing white shirts with blue background, and occasionally
There were also a few people wearing white shirts with yellow backgrounds suddenly appearing.
The stall near the entrance of the West Market displays various spiritual materials. Next to the stall is a two-foot-sized water basin, in which several golden-backed crucian carps are swimming continuously.
Xu Chenglin didn't recognize most of the spiritual materials on the stall. Being studious and eager to ask questions, he didn't miss this opportunity, so he walked towards the stall.
About ten steps away from the stall, the golden-backed crucian carp in the water basin seemed to feel that someone was approaching, and suddenly jumped out of the water with all its strength. With a snap, the golden-backed crucian carp fell back into the water, splashing several huge splashes of water.
Xu Chenglin looked interesting and walked straight towards the water basin. The stall owner lowered his head, seemingly unaware of Xu Chenglin's arrival and allowed him to approach the water basin.
Seeing that the stall owner was wearing the same blue shirt as him, Xu Chenglin smiled and spoke.
"Senior brother! I wonder what kind of spiritual fish the golden-backed crucian carp in this basin is?"
The stall owner was a young man who had just dozed off with his head down. Xu Chenglin suddenly asked a question, which instantly woke him up.
"Who! Who is calling me?"
Being relatively close to the stall, the young man woke up in shock, causing Xu Chenglin to take a few steps back. The young man was more than eight feet tall, with an ordinary appearance, and an inch-long short hair.
When the short-haired young man saw Xu Chenglin in front of the stall, he couldn't help but laugh twice.
"Junior brother, I'm really sorry. I slept too deeply just now and scared my junior brother. I apologize to my junior brother for that."
The short-haired young man touched his head with an apologetic smile on his face. Xu Chenglin couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to wave his hands and say it was okay.
"Haha, what junior brother just asked about is the spiritual fish in this basin?"
The short-haired young man pointed at the spiritual fish in the basin and looked at Xu Chenglin with a smile.
"Exactly, I have just started practicing and there are many things I don't know. I hope that my senior brother will give me some advice."
Xu Chenglin cupped his fists and saluted the short-haired young man with an extremely serious attitude.
"Haha, it's easy to talk about. I just want to teach you some knowledge. I will apologize to you as my brother."
The short-haired young man waved his hand boldly and began to explain to Xu Chenglin.
"Junior brother, please see, the name of this spiritual fish is the lapis lazuli crucian carp. This crucian carp lives in the Lingxi River at the foot of the mountain. Although the lapis lazuli crucian carp has no attack power, it is extremely powerful in the water. Ordinary fishing rods and lines are absolutely
It cannot be caught. The fishing rod used to catch the spirit fish is made of refined iron, the fishing line is also made of iron wire and silk, and the bait is made of spirit earthworms from the spirit field."
The short-haired young man pointed at the spirit fish and introduced it to Xu Chenglin.
"Look at this, this is the purple ginger most commonly used in immortal dishes. On the surface, this purple ginger looks like purple ginger. But after all, this stuff is produced in the world of spiritual practice, so it is naturally different from the ordinary world. This purple ginger is rich in content.
The aura can neutralize a variety of different ingredients, making it a fairy dish
Commonly used items for cooking…”
The short-haired young man pointed to the purple ginger cubes on the stall and explained. Xu Chenglin looked at the spiritual material and memorized its appearance and efficacy one by one.
"Look at this again..., this is..., this thing is..."
The short-haired young man introduced the things on his stall to him one by one, and Xu Chenglin listened extremely seriously. It is really not easy to meet such a generous and enthusiastic person in the spiritual practice world.
After more than half an hour, the short-haired young man finally finished introducing the spiritual materials on the stall. Xu Chenglin was still a little unfinished at this time, but when he saw that the short-haired young man had finished the introduction, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Thank you for your advice, senior brother. I would like to express my gratitude. I would like to apologize for delaying senior brother's business."
Xu Chenglin once again cupped his fists and saluted the young man.
"Haha, junior brother, you don't have to be like this. The business in this West Market has always been based on contact rather than sales. Usually you don't see many buyers. Anyway, you are idle."
The short-haired young man raised his hand and held Xu Chenglin's hands up.
Xu Chenglin saw that the short-haired young man was so generous and enthusiastic, so he wanted to make friends with him.
"My younger brother, Xu Chenglin, has just started teaching for more than a month. I don't know what to call my senior brother."
The short-haired young man laughed and patted Xu Chenglin on the shoulder.
"What's your name? Senior brother, you're so elegant. My name is Wang Shusheng. I started earlier than you and am older than you, so just call me Brother Sheng Wang."
Hearing Wang Shusheng's words, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but curse in his heart.
"It's so formal. Isn't that what everyone calls him in the spiritual world? I really can't believe that this person is called Scholar Wang, but he has such a carefree temperament."
For a long time, Xu Chenglin thought that Wang Shusheng's name was Wang Shusheng. It was not until he became successful at condensing energy that he understood the misunderstanding.
Seeing Wang Shusheng's boldness, Xu Chenglin didn't hesitate and called him "Brother Wang." Wang Shusheng laughed loudly and reached out to give him another heavy pat on the shoulder.
The two exchanged addresses, and Xu Chenglin said goodbye and left. He also had to buy some daily food, so he did not stay at Wang Shusheng's place for long.
With some knowledge that Wang Shusheng had taught him previously, Xu Chenglin started shopping in the West Market. Cheap goods are not good, and good goods are not cheap. All the good things in the West Market are expensive, and Xu Chenglin simply cannot afford them.
After shopping for an unknown amount of time, he finally found an acceptable spiritual material. Xu Chenglin looked at the bucket of spiritual rice worth one spiritual stone in his hand and couldn't help but shook his head. Putting the spiritual rice in his hand into his storage bag, Xu Chenglin strode out.
to the West Market.
Before leaving the door, Xu Chenglin said goodbye to Wang Shusheng again. At this time, Wang Shusheng stopped him, fished out a lapis lazuli carp from the basin and handed it to him.
"Brother, since you call me big brother, I will also give you some greeting gifts. Take this spiritual fish!"
Wang Shusheng was smiling all over his face, showing no pretense of humility at all.
"this......"
Xu Chenglin was a little hesitant. He had just made acquaintance and was embarrassed to accept gifts from the other party.
"Why are you so fickle! It is inevitable that you will be short of money when you first start practicing. When you have more spiritual stones in the future, you can just treat me to a meal."
Wang Shusheng pointed out his current situation and found a step for her.
Xu Chenglin saw that Wang Shu's voice didn't seem to be fake, so he nodded and accepted it.
"Brother Wang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
"Okay, why are you so polite?"
Waving his hand to signal Xu Chenglin to leave, Wang Shusheng began to tidy up his stall.
Just when Xu Chenglin was about to produce Xianju, Wang Shusheng suddenly raised his head and said something again.
"Brother, if you have time, you can go to the Foreign Affairs Hall and have a look. You might gain something else."
Xu Chenglin stood up, then nodded and walked out.
