Chapter 292: Three o’clock and one line, the ghost market’s underworld
After Yu Lie and Zizhu Nu Taoist talks, he refined the purple token in front of each other. Then, under the guidance of the other party, he walked around the Taoist temple and understood which places could be entered and which places could be entered.
The place cannot be entered.
"I have already given instructions on all the matters in the Taoist temple. Starting tomorrow, you will officially come to work. The tasks here in Pindao are heavy. Every five days of work, you only have two days of rest. There is no need to come here to be on duty, but
Lishan relieves toxins in the body.
You have to appear in the meditation before the end of the day every day, and you can't leave until half way through the unitary hour. There is no salary, but the environment and spiritual energy on the mountain, you can take in as much as you can. These conditions
Are you sure, can you really accept it?"
Zizhu Nudao finally asked.
Yu Lie heard the other party's words and nodded seriously.
Seeing that there was no trouble on Yu Lie's face, Zi Zhu Nu Dao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "In that case, you can go down. In the temple, in the mountain, you can wander around freely. Normally, if I have time, I will pass the order
The token tells you, if you have anything, you can tell me through the token."
"Disciple, I have an order!" Yu Lie raised his hand, and the pressure over him disappeared in an instant.
He raised his head again, and the enchanting human-insect body in front of him had disappeared into the purple mist, leaving only the other party's last words:
"I still have things to do, and I also have to search for an antidote that suits your current situation."
Yu Lie's respectful attitude remained unchanged. He first walked around the Taoist temple along the route that the other party had just guided him to deepen his impression, and then exited the Amethyst Taoist Temple.
As soon as I left the Taoist temple, I closed the door.
Yu Lie looked at the bare mountain scenery outside, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal joy.
Although all the requirements just mentioned by Zizhu Nudao are a bit harsh due to the environment of Zishan. When Yu Lie was extracting the poison in Heishui Town, he only took a break every one or two days. But the workmanship in Hedao City
Compared with the treatment, the other party's treatment is extremely good, leaving him plenty of time to practice on his own, and he can also take care of his own shop during his rest days.
The only fly in the ointment is that the other party is very stingy and does not provide antidote pills or wages.
However, Yu Lie looked at the still rich purple light outside the Taoist temple. He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and hurriedly walked out of the mountain.
The concentration of spiritual energy and poisonous energy in this mountain is extremely high. Just finding a place on the mountain is already more than his courtyard. Being able to stay here, even if he doesn't have time to practice, is a waste of money for him!
This also made Yu Lie temporarily suppress the urge to find a female Taoist in exchange for a cultivation pill recipe. He made a rough estimate that practicing in the residence of such a poison-refining Taoist priest for a long time was equivalent to taking seventh-grade pills or spiritual pills.
Shi promoted cultivation.
When Yu Lie completely walked out of the purple mountaintop, he stood on the thick iron chain that tied the mountaintop, and couldn't help but look back at the mountaintop full of purple brilliance.
He sighed in his heart: "He is indeed a sixth-grade Taoist priest. Just the Taoist temple where he lives, and a little bit of spiritual energy and poisonous energy casually revealed, already made my heart beat."
Yu Lie's eyes were filled with envy.
Although he didn't know what kind of ore this mountain was made of, it was definitely not a mortal thing. He also thought that if he dug out a few stones from the mountain every day and took them away and sold them on the black market, he might be able to get rid of them.
It can create a new way to make money.
However, Yu Lie only dared to think about it. He did not dare to do such things as poaching a sixth-grade Taoist priest.
Suppressing his thoughts, Yu Lie quickly summoned the paper crane charm that could be used once, and flew down into the sky quickly, rushing towards his courtyard.
This time he went up the mountain and was full of poisonous gas. It was time to return to the courtyard as soon as possible to use the poisonous gas to polish his true energy and speed up his cultivation.
After Yu Lie returned to the courtyard, he continued to practice until the evening. When Luo Sen and Miaom came back, he came out with a red face and ate with them.
The two women didn't know why Yu Lie was so happy. They asked out loud, but they only got the answer: "You can't say it."
While eating, Yu Lie suddenly felt the token in his arms move slightly. He took it out and rubbed it in his hand. Immediately, a prescription called "White Ghost Bark Pill" appeared in his ears and turned into a recipe.
The dragon's energy penetrated into its spiritual platform, revealing all the contents of the elixir in detail.
This detoxifying elixir is of the highest quality of the eighth grade, but Yu Lie has never heard of it before. Its medicinal effect is also strong, and it can relieve the toxins of the seventh grade, and the raw materials used are relatively common. Yu Lie is
People in the alchemy world have been involved in it and know a thing or two about it.
When Yu Lie saw that Taoist Priest Zi Zhuzi really kept his promise and threw him such a high-quality detoxification prescription for nothing, he felt at ease.
He immediately apologized to Luo Sen and Miao Mu: "You two eat first, and the poor man takes a step first."
After saying that, Yu Lie left the courtyard again and flew to the location of the elixir shop. He was rushing to the shop to get some medicinal materials and tried to refine them overnight to see if he could refine the antidote pills.
, so that he can go to Zishan to work tomorrow.
That night, with the help of the bronze wine cup, Yu Lie relied on stacking quantities. Although he didn't know much about the technique, after a whole night of thinking, he managed to get himself two antidote pills without having to spend a lot of money to buy them.
.
So the next time.
Yu Lie's life has become a three-point one. He only travels between the elixir shop, the spiritual energy courtyard, and the Zishan Poison Temple, and he honestly helps the Zizhu Nu Dao.
Although to outsiders, his life seems quite busy, in fact, Yu Lie's cultivation speed has increased to six or seven times. Sometimes one day of cultivation can be as good as ten days of cultivation for an ordinary Taoist disciple!
Several months passed.
The female Taoist priest on Zishan Mountain was a little surprised to see that Yu Lie was so hard-working and had never missed a single day of work. He was also in good health physically.
This also made the female road think more highly of Yu Lie. Whenever Yu Lie took too many antidote pills and his body became resistant to it, she would give him a new prescription in advance for Yu Lie to study to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Yu Lie was poisoned and she was devastated to lose such a good apprentice who worked for free.
At the same time, Zi Zhu Nu Dao was also secretly worried in her heart:
"He seems to never be late or leave early. He stays on my Purple Mountain for four and a half hours every day. He has to take detoxifying pills every day. I don't know how long his financial resources can support him... You need to be more persistent."
ah."
Ever since Yu Lie went up the mountain, this female Taoist had never gone out again. She stayed in the house all day long, looking like she was reaching for clothes and food and opening her mouth. She was very comfortable. Especially Yu Lie's method of preparing medicinal materials was also the same.
He is extremely skilled in Taoism and is at the top level of Taoist disciples she has ever seen. Even Taoist officials are not much inferior.
This purple candle nun is already addicted to being served by others, so she is very worried that one day the remaining money will be spent and she will no longer be able to come to her to "train at her own expense".
I just want Zizhu Nudao to pay for it, but she doesn't have it. It's also impossible to offer medicinal materials. Because medicinal materials that can detoxify invisible poisons are all expensive.
The female Taoist could only secretly say in her heart: "How about giving this little guy a long vacation?"
………………
At the same time, Yu Lie, who was regarded by Zizhu Nvdao as a "fat person", went directly to the elixir shop after work in the evening.
At this time, all the people in the elixir shop, including the Taoist boy, had left. The lights in the shop were dim, and there were only two figures standing scattered in the lobby.
There are two figures, one tall and one low. The taller one is slightly hunched over, and is Song Danqing. The lower one is sipping a cup of tea, and is Yu Lie sitting on the top chair.
Yu Lie knocked on the table with a happy expression on his face. The tea in the cup was the finest eighth-grade Lingcha. It tasted fragrant. Drinking it regularly can nourish the soul.
His current behavior is completely different from what Zi Zhu Nu Dao had imagined. Not only is there no trace of poverty and sourness, but he also has a faint air of wealth and wealth.
"Are there really big clients coming tonight?"
Song Danqing heard Yu Lie's question and hurriedly whispered: "Exactly, that customer is not a kind person. I heard that he has a lot of lives in his hands. I guess the owner will have to wait for a while. The other party also needs to see the owner. Let's do some research.
, only then will you trust your employer.”
When Yu Lie heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, Daogong's industry and status as a disciple of Daogong are not enough to make the other party trust him. It seems that he is really a big customer."
The two of them chatted until the curfew was approaching, and the workshop became extremely quiet.
At this time, there was a creak, and a figure finally appeared in front of the elixir shop. The figure was tall and covered in black robes.
The visitor knocked on the door and said in a disguised voice: "You two, who is the shopkeeper?"
Yu Lie sat upright on the chair, looked at the other person with squinted eyes, and nodded gently: "That's Yu."
The other party carefully recognized Yu Lie's appearance, and then offered his hand: "Please also ask the shopkeeper to show you the Taoist Palace Talisman."
The other party went straight to the point and asked Yu Lie to prove his identity. Yu Lie did not refuse. With a slight shake, he called out his Taoist instrument, and the mark of a disciple of the Taoist palace appeared in the hall.
The man stared closely, his eyes clearly showing a bit of envy and jealousy under the black scarf.
Yu Lie then spoke:
"How about it? Can you hand the things over to Pindao now? Pindao has been running this kind of business for half a year, and has never made a mistake. At least 30% of the goods are not damaged."
However, the visitor was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "Please forgive me for being rude, owner. Although you are a Taoist disciple, how can you be sure to take over the work of a poor Taoist? Moreover, I asked you before coming here.
Your store’s success rate is really high…can you tell us a bit about your store’s confidence?”
Before Yu Lie could answer, Song Danqing on the side immediately took a step forward and said coldly:
"You don't know the rules in the ghost market. It's a courtesy for you to come directly to our store. Don't push yourself too far and ask things you shouldn't know, otherwise you may endanger your life!"
When Yu Lie heard the visitor's question, he frowned slightly and thought to himself: "It seems that in recent times, in order to earn money to buy antidote medicinal materials and alchemy materials, he has done too much business, which has attracted prying eyes."
But he didn't panic, he had already made a plan in his mind.
I saw Yu Lie continue to take a sip of tea slowly and return: "Yu is quite talented in the alchemy path and is good at this small path. It's just a matter of refining blood vessels. Why not?"
While talking, Yu Lie took out a token from his sleeve, rubbed it in his hand, and said:
"Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly. I have to go to work in heaven during the day. Night is my rare time, so don't waste my time."
The black-robed visitor's eyes immediately fell on the token in Yu Lie's hand.
This man was very discerning, although because of Yu Lie's covering up, he couldn't recognize what was written on the token.
However, based on the shape of the token and the faint oppressive energy emanating from it, the visitor recognized that this token was the token in the Dao Palace that could be used to cross back and forth to the Gangfeng layer. There were restrictions and runes in it, and it was the token of Dao.
The Taoist priests in the palace gave tokens to their subordinates to facilitate their traveling between heaven and earth.
"I see." The black-robed visitor's attitude immediately became much lower-key, and he immediately said: "Someone's eyesight is stupid."
The next moment, the other party waved his sleeves and robes, and six storage bags fell on the floor of the shop with a lot of blood stains on them.
The visitor in black robe left the storage bag and said: "Then I'll bother the shopkeeper. If the shopkeeper can break open each storage bag 100%, Pindao is willing to pay three hundred spirit stones."
After finishing speaking, the other party saluted the remaining two people, turned around and left.
But just as the other party was about to step out, Yu Lie sighed again in the store: "It's just six blood vessel-level storage bags, not illegal weapons. Yu thought it was really a big deal."
Yu Lie shook his head and sighed softly.
When the visitor in black robe heard this, he paused in his steps and snorted coldly with his back on his back: "Don't talk nonsense, owner. I will pick it up in three days. Don't tell me then that these bags haven't been opened yet."
After he finished speaking, the other party's figure completely disappeared in front of the elixir shop without a trace.
After everyone left completely, Song Danqing immediately stepped forward, closed the door of the store, and isolated the inside and outside.
At this time, Yu Lie picked up the six storage bags on the ground, and the look of disappointment on his face disappeared. He weighed them in his hands, with a smile on his lips: "Six of them, it equals one thousand and eighty spiritual stones. That's right."
A good amount of income.”
He cupped his hands towards Song Danqing and said gently: "Usually, it takes ten days and a half to get one business. Now it seems that I have finally made my name known and got a big deal."
Song Danqing also had a smile on his face: "My boss is joking, we can do business with people in the ghost market only because of my boss's skills."
After complimenting him a lot, Song Danqing showed a look of hesitation on his face again, as if he was hesitant to speak.
The man hesitated for a while and then said: "Because I am a member of Talisman Dao, Talisman is closely related to the restriction. There are some things that Song may know more about, so I am worried that my employer has neglected them... Please don't think that Song is being abrupt."
"
Yu Lie's face showed surprise, he nodded and said, "That's what you say."
Song Danqing sorted out his words and then said:
"Providing those strong men with blood refining equipment through the ghost market, as long as the craftsmanship is good, is indeed a cost-free business, and the benefits are huge. As the owner, the risk is almost non-existent.
However, Song suggested that the employer should not focus too much on this skill. Although the skill of 'opening boxes and locks' is good, it is far less promising than the orthodox method of refining elixirs.
Song Danqing said in detail: "In the stage of Taoist disciples, Taoists are just beginning to develop their auras and their skills are not refined. Therefore, they often lack methods to unlock the storage bags they obtain and have to ask others for help. But starting from the seventh-grade Taoist officials,
At that time, everyone's cultivation skills were in their infancy, and they would not easily seek help from others, but would rather slowly polish it off on their own."
When Song Danqing reached this point, he lowered his head and raised his hands, stopped talking, and let Yu Lie think about it slowly.
When Yu Lie heard the other party's advice, he was slightly startled. After he came to his senses, he also let out a breath.
What the two of them are doing now is to use the ghost market to help those Taoists who kill people, steal treasures, rob and steal goods, and dispose of the black goods in their hands.
Through this method, Yu Lie can not only earn spiritual stones for helping others open storage bags, but also purchase the other party's materials at low prices. From time to time, he can also use the excuse of refining failure to withhold materials without any profit!
It was through this method that he was able to maintain his daily consumption of a large amount of spiritual stones, continue refining elixirs, and continue taking drugs. He did not practice hard, but his cultivation progressed rapidly.
In less than a year, he will be able to accumulate twenty years of Taoism and undergo the next transformation.
As for this group of people laundering goods, Yu Lie had imagined it when he was a Taoist boy. Unfortunately, he had no industry or identity before, so he did not dare to engage in it.
Now that he has both industry and status, he can also secretly raise the banner of Zizhu Taoist priests, so naturally he can start working boldly and become bigger and stronger.
Otherwise, just by refining the elixirs himself and profiting from the spiritual stones from the elixir orders, although he would earn a lot, his life would never be so prosperous.
It's a pity that what Song Danqing said is right.
As his horizons broadened, Yu Lie discovered that basically only Taoist disciples would ask people to help open storage bags and clean blood vessels. Starting from Taoist officials, Taoists have all begun to prepare their skills and basically no longer use magic weapons.
Leave it to others.
Only ancient objects, formations and other things will be hired to do, and those who are good at doing these things have changed from people in the Alchemy Dao to people in the Talisman Dao.
In other words, Yu Lie's business of washing people's goods will not last long, especially after he breaks through to the great realm, the things in the pockets of Taoist disciples will become less and less important to him.
Facing Song Danqing's reminder, Yu Lie said that he had listened and said seriously:
"Thank you, Brother Song, for reminding me."
It's just that Yu Lie didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, he helped others clean the blood vessels and only needed to rinse them in a bronze wine cup. There was no need to polish them himself.
He didn't waste any time on "opening the box and picking the lock", he was concentrating on practicing Qi.
