"I'm going on a mission in a few days, so come and see Yang Tengsha."
"Yang Tengsha, yes, if Mr. Zhuang wants it, he can get it no matter how little the store doesn't have." Wu Niang quickly returned to the counter with a smile, took out a small dark red wooden box from underneath, and handed it to the Bone Heart Sword with both hands.
At this time, several more customers came into the store, including men and women, wearing different clothes.
One of them has clean eyebrows and a pale complexion. He looks like an ordinary weak young man from a rich family, with a faint bookish air about him.
This guy wears a light yellow robe, a white belt, and carries an ordinary long sword on his back. He looks no different from other disciples from the outer area around him.
This person was Lin Xin, who had been at the market for a long time. He didn't buy anything when he came to the market. Instead, he walked around first and found the most popular store, which was Yuguangzhai.
I have been standing guard at this door for several hours.
He was observing. From the shop owner Wuniang's attitude towards different customers, he could tell which customers were powerful and which customers were ordinary, which ones had high status and which ones had low status. Then he remembered these powerful and high-status people one by one.
No one in this place can be trusted, and no one cares about the vicious competition. It is obviously a standard situation of the jungle, so he simply collects information honestly.
Standing in front of a grid where jade pendants were hung, Lin Xin stretched out his hand and pinched an oval jade pendant at random. The emerald green jade pendant was as cold as ice in his hands, as if it had just been frozen in the freezer.
The entire jade pendant is extremely simple to make. There is only a symbol hollowed out in the middle, which looks like many incomprehensible characters superimposed on each other.
"This is the Hanxin Pendant. It can suppress the evil spirits in the mind for a short time. The runes on it can last for half an hour." A middle-aged man dressed as an old farmer whispered beside him.
"Han Xin Pei..." Lin Xin turned it over and looked at the back, where the price was written in red pen: ten.
"Ten jade coins, do you want to buy them?" The old farmer glanced at Lin Xin and shook his head, "This is for missions. It is useless for you to buy it now. The shelf life is only fifteen days."
"Just looking around." Lin Xin smiled, took out another book from the bookshelf next to the jade pendant grid, and flipped through it. It was full of complicated words, which were slightly different from the words in his hometown of Dayuan.
, more strokes, but still understandable.
"My dear Huang Guizhi, everyone calls me Lao Huang. You look like a newcomer who has just entered the family?" the old farmer asked casually, picking up a black copper coin and looking through it casually.
"Good eyesight. My name is Lin Xin." Lin Xin smiled.
"Lin Xin... If you are new, have you joined any small groups?" Lao Huang asked in a low voice.
"Little group?"
"All the newcomers here have their own groups, just to avoid being bullied, or to be bullied less. No, it should be said that everyone under one hundred has a group. Not only is the task convenient, but it can also resist the oppression of stronger masters.
We can exchange cultivation experiences with each other." Old Huang grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "I am from the Lingzhu Gang."
"Brother, can you tell me how many groups this newcomer has?" Lin Xin took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.
"There are only four that have existed for a long time. The Lingzhu Gang founded by our Lingzhuzi Gang leader, the Yin Yang Gang, the Heyin Gang, and the last Poison Gang. This place is either big or small." Lao Huang answered casually.
"Long term?"
"Well, there are many small groups, but they are established quickly and disbanded quickly. Anyway, a lot of people will die soon."
"Is this a mandatory monthly task?" Lin Xin's heart trembled.
"Of course, the sect gives you the opportunity to learn the supreme way, and it cannot be without cost." Old Huang said matter-of-factly while looking for something.
He picked up another copper kettle and seemed to take a fancy to this thing.
"Wuniang, I want this." He walked towards Wu Niang with the copper pot and said goodbye to Lin Xin smoothly.
"Let's go now, take your time and watch."
"Well, brother, let's go slowly." Lin Xin nodded. He could understand why people in the town were coming and going in a hurry. With the death crisis of this monthly task hanging over their heads, no one could live peacefully and slowly.
.
Thinking of this, Lin Xin remembered his special ability. If he could successfully form a skill once, it would be 100% successful. Such an ability should be most suitable for refining elixirs.
He looked for a book on elixirs in the book.
‘Fundamentals of Alchemy’, ‘Bundling Alchemy’, ‘Outline of One Hundred and Eight Outer Alchemy’, and ‘Medicine Solution’. There are a total of four relatively basic books, all of which are very thin booklets.
After thinking about it, Lin Xin took down the booklet Basics of Alchemy and turned it over to look at the price.
'Fifty-five'
"Hiss... fifty-five jade coins... so expensive!" He took a breath of air-conditioning. Not to mention fifty-five jade coins, he didn't have even one jade coin on him. He only had gold leaves, about two hundred taels of silver.
As for the conversion of jade money, he already knew it after squatting outside this shop for so long.
One jade coin is equal to one hundred taels of silver. This is the converted price.
In other words, all the two pieces of silver he had were enough to exchange for two pieces of jade.
Looking through other elixir books one by one, none of them cost less than thirty jade coins.
Putting the book back again, Lin Xin knew in his heart that this was a dead end.
"In addition to elixirs, I can also consider looking at talismans or formations." Lin Xin picked out the basics of the book drawings on talismans and the basics of formations one by one.
But there is no book worth less than thirty jade coins, and the lowest price is thirty-five.
Sighing, Lin Xin could only look for the book with the lowest price. Like him, there was a man rummaging in front of the bookshelf. He seemed to be a newcomer, and he was also frightened by the price. The two looked up and looked at each other.
There was helplessness in his eyes.
"If you can't afford it, don't browse around. You can afford the ones here." Wu Niang seemed to have finished dealing with the Bone Heart Sword. She turned around and saw the two of them flipping through the books. She impatiently pointed to the bookcase next to her.
In the corner, there was a pile of tattered pamphlets piled randomly together in a mess.
Lin Xin and the man walked over and squatted down, not angry at all. After all, they were indeed too poor.
Picking up a book and turning it over gently, the words on the back were: Sale, 1.
This means one jade coin.
He breathed a sigh of relief and began to slowly rummage through the pile of books to find the book he wanted.
There are more than thirty books in these books, most of them are story books about anecdotes and strange things. There are also a few books whose handwriting is so blurry that they cannot be read clearly and it is not clear what they are.
Lin Xin quickly found what he wanted, a copy of "The Growth Process of the Master of Alchemy", and the other four books were all the same "Detailed Explanation of Formation Equipment".
Lin Xin put the former down and flipped through the latter. There was a booklet with more than 30 pages of detailed explanations of formations. There was a lot of mess in it. It recorded how to use formations on equipment. The person who wrote the book seemed to have very poor writing skills.
, often confused and incoherent, and there is only one example formation with a complete production process. It is still the most basic and simple formation that does not require the input of spiritual energy during the refining period.
Lin Xin flipped through it and tried to write down some of the content above, but found that even the simplest formation involved a very complicated prototype of the formation, and it was a three-dimensional formation with a very troublesome structure. There were many more.
The complex processing techniques and precautions for materials are scattered throughout the book, and it is impossible to memorize them in a short time.
"I have a high success rate. Although this formation is not very valuable, it is still somewhat profitable. If the materials are resold and turned into formations, I can also make some profit." Lin Xin thought about it. Reading the book, the success rate of formations is generally not very high.
High is related to materials and people's abilities.
Most people, including formation masters, arrange formations in advance and use higher-level materials to increase the success rate. In this way, there is a market for his high success rate.
"I want this book." Lin Xin stood up and handed the book to Wuniang behind the counter.
Wu Niang refused to answer, waved her hand and said.
"For a piece of jade, the newlyweds can also use gold and silver to settle the payment."
Lin Xin took out a hundred taels of gold leaf from his waist bag, took the book, and slowly walked out of Yuguangzhai. Looking back, the newcomer was still looking through the book carefully, and seemed to be planning to squat there and read the white book.
.
Shaking his head, Lin Xin flipped through the book and found the section that gave examples of formations.
He wanted to see how this legendary formation could produce those magical effects.
'Small Yanyang Formation: Produces a small amount of scorching sun fire energy, slightly increases the temperature within the array, and is used to maintain suitable flowers and plants. It can drive away evil spirits. The number of uses depends on the material.'
"The energy of the flaming sun?" Lin Xin shook his head slightly. This thing is too weak. It is estimated that if it is traded, the market will be very low.
But now he can only afford this thing.
Along the street, he used the remaining money to purchase daily necessities, seasonings, rice, pots and pans for cooking, and a bundle of firewood. Fortunately, the market was on the outskirts of the town, and the place where he lived was also on the outskirts of the town.
Outside, not far from the market.
After five trips back and forth, he finally purchased all the daily necessities such as beds, quilts, water cups, bowls and chopsticks.
I also bought all the materials used to try the Little Flame Sun Formation. The formation itself is very low-level and has very weak effects. The materials are not that expensive. They are just ordinary materials, most of which are like stone powder.
Lin Xin can get tree roots, live scorpions, etc. directly from the nearby mountains and forests.
After buying everything, Lin Xin prepared fifteen pieces of materials for the Little Yanyang Formation, and packed them separately in paper bags.
I only had a few taels of money left, and I was feeling a little hungry.
Finding the wooden bottle of food issued to the newcomers, he opened the lid, poured out a handful of something brown like rice grains, stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it.
It tastes a bit like chocolate beans and is a bit hard, so I swallowed it directly after drinking water.
First put the beds and other things in place one by one. It is getting late.
After closing the stone door, Lin Xin began his daily routine of practicing internal energy.
Xiao Gui Yuan Jue slowly circulated through the body along with thoughts. It took more than an hour, and the meridians began to feel a little painful.
The strange thing is that as soon as the pain in the meridians appears, it slowly subsides, as if something cool has penetrated into the meridians to relieve the friction damage.
Lin Xin's heart moved slightly. He estimated that this was the key to speeding up his practice in the stone house.
