"One spiritual stone." Lu Zhong put down his magic book and replied.
"This is too expensive..." A middle-aged man with short hair, a dark complexion, a shiny black collar, and a casual dress, frowned when he heard Lu Zhong's quotation.
He picked up the sample charm and looked left and right.
After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't find anything to find fault with.
If you can't pick out the thorns, there is no reason to lower the price.
"Give me a real price, I..." The short-haired middle-aged man said this, glanced at the other people on the left and right, and said via voice transmission: "If I buy ten at a time, will the nine spiritual stones be sold?"
"It's a small business with a small profit. It's really just a hard-earned money. Let's do this... How about I give you three more secret arrow-avoiding talismans?" Lu Zhong asked the other party for a price.
"Is it the Qixuan Arrow Avoidance Talisman?" The middle-aged man looked excited when he saw the sample talisman on the table.
"right."
"Then add a cleaning charm and I'll buy it."
"Can."
Lu Zhong took out a cleaning talisman from the table, and then took out ten evil-exorcism talismans from the storage bag, plus three Qixuan arrow-avoiding talismans, and then put them in an envelope.
After doing this, he did not directly hand the envelope to the other party, but looked at the other party and said:
"The old rule is, money first, then goods."
The middle-aged man had no doubts about him. After all, he was a talisman maker and there was no way he was cheating on his own money.
He reached into his arms and took out ten spiritual stones of different colors.
Lu Zhong took the spirit stones, inspected them carefully, and even used the Qi-gazing technique. Finally, he picked out two spirit stones that were slightly dull in color, and said expressionlessly: "These two don't work, let's change them."
.”
The value of a spiritual stone comes from the spiritual energy contained in it. A spiritual stone that changes color like this is usually because someone has absorbed the spiritual energy inside, and its value will be reduced due to the remaining content of the spiritual energy.
The remaining value of the two he picked out was only a little over one spiritual stone.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he knew that his trick had been seen through, but his face was not at all embarrassed. He was obviously a slippery old casual cultivator. He put away the two spiritual stones and replaced them with two others.
Lu Zhong checked again and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the spirit stone before handing the envelope to the other party.
…
The morning passed quickly, and Lu Zhong only sold thirty-one evil charms.
Even though there were a lot of casual cultivators who came to inquire, most of them were looking for bargains or missing items. Lu Zhong just dismissed these people with a few words. Instead of spending a long time trying to figure out the price with them, he might not be able to make a deal in the end.
It's better to read two more pages of the spell book.
What he is looking at now is the first-level spell Light Body Technique.
The Light Body Technique is a very useful spell. After the spell is successfully cast, it can summon a magical wind to lift itself up, thus making itself look like a swallow. This can not only achieve the effect of increasing running speed, but also protect the body.
You will not be injured if you fall from a height.
Basically, those monks who come and go will deliberately learn this technique.
The light body technique is also known as the "pressure trap nemesis". It is used in various types of underground palace explorations that are full of traps, and can effectively avoid such traps.
In addition, using this technique to jump from high places, you can also glide in the air for a while.
Although it only glides a short distance, if it is combined with other spells, it can also have unexpected effects.
At this time, the surrounding noise suddenly dropped, and the huge stall area quickly became quiet.
"It's the disciples of the Jinhong Sect who are here." Someone whispered.
Lu Zhong followed the voice and looked up.
I saw several teams of Fang City law enforcement monks responsible for clearing the way in front, followed by a large group of people dressed in luxurious clothes. The lowest level was in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The people on the periphery were all wearing clothes similar to the law enforcement team. They were suspected of being Yanling Shanfang City.
The top management were like slaves surrounding the two energetic men and women.
Hearing the flattering words of the people around them, the man and woman wearing golden cassocks had an indifferent attitude. At most, they just responded casually, which was considered to have given the other party a great deal of face.
"Is this the way disciples of the sect behave?" Lu Zhong thought silently in his heart.
Strong, confident, and arrogant in his bones.
Lu Zhong felt that he was already powerful compared to ordinary casual cultivators, but if he faced a sect disciple who was also in the middle stage of Qi refining, he still had no confidence at all that he could win.
"Even if it's a sneak attack, I'm afraid it won't be able to do anything to the other party, right?"
The Jinhong Sect, which can stably complete the replacement of golden elixirs, will definitely have a systematic education in cultivating immortals. Elite monks like this, who are selected after layers of selection, will definitely practice complete sets of inherited techniques, and they will never be one thing or another.
A stick of casual cultivators can be compared.
He had long heard that sect disciples would be equipped with specific spells, secret techniques, and unique magical weapons based on the exercises they practiced. Everything was carefully matched and improved from generation to generation.
It is different from the casual cultivator's idea that one plus one equals two, or even equals one point and five.
For the disciples of the sect who practice the inherited techniques, one plus one equals five, or even one plus one equals ten.
The gap widened step by step, resulting in sect disciples generally crushing casual cultivators.
"Sigh, I wonder when it will take until I can catch up with these people?"
Lu Zhong looked at the group of people leaving and murmured to himself.
…
At sunset.
Lu Zhong returned to the bamboo forest courtyard and began to practice light body techniques.
The difficulty in casting this spell is that you need to be distracted at all times to maintain the existence of the spell's spiritual wind, otherwise once the spiritual wind dissipates, the effect of the light body spell will also disappear.
This cannot be done in a hurry, it can only be mastered through long-term practice.
Since he had already learned many spells before, he only needed to master three lightening spells.
In addition, the learning of spells was based on analogy, and Lu Zhong quickly successfully performed the lightening technique.
A burst of cyan spiritual wind surrounded his body, and his whole body suddenly became light. With just a slight jump upward, he could jump to a height of more than five feet and directly touch the top of the white cloud shield.
It was just that when I landed, I accidentally failed to control it well, and the magic spirit wind collapsed, causing a hard landing.
Suddenly, my legs felt a little numb.
Afterwards, he tried more than a dozen times before successfully performing the lightening technique again.
Carefully keeping the spiritual wind from spreading, Lu Zhong began to run around the small courtyard, his speed greatly increased as he was as light as a swallow.
If you can keep sprinting with all your strength, you can even run three hundred miles in an hour.
During the running process, he could clearly feel the huge wind resistance, which was so strong that he could hardly open his eyes. It was precisely because of these resistances that he had to expend half of his energy to overcome them, otherwise he could still run faster.
"It seems that it is necessary to buy a robe with magical powers to protect against wind." Lu Zhong decided.
Speaking of robes, they are also magic weapons, usually made of monster furs or woven spiritual threads produced by spiritual insects. They are also divided into lower, middle and upper grades.
The lower-grade robe has one magical power, the middle-grade robe has two magical powers, and the upper-grade robe has three magical powers.
The price of the robe is more expensive than the magic weapon, and is almost the same as the defensive magic weapon of the same level.
Therefore, being able to afford cassocks is often regarded as a symbol of financial strength.
However, it usually leads to more malice.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhong made a habit of kneading and chanting a mantra to detect malicious intent for himself.
