Chapter 101 Make friends, attack the talisman (additional update: 5200, debt repayment completed, please vote for me)
Cultivation world, Fangshi.
After Liang Sheng knew about the rising prices, he could no longer do business at a loss. He first borrowed three low-grade spirit stones from Chen Mo and handed them to the registrar in the office. Then he walked out of the office and prepared to exchange the talismans for the spirit stones.
.
With the talisman here, it was naturally impossible for Chen Mo not to borrow it. As for choosing a cave, it would require a lot of spiritual stones, so Liang Sheng had to think about it.
But now he had to collect some spiritual stones first. Chen Momo followed Liang Sheng out, still a little unable to recover at this time.
He thought about Liang Sheng opening the Zhuhao pen, cinnabar and blank talisman paper in his backpack just now. He hesitated a little, but finally couldn't help but ask:
"So it turns out that Fellow Daoist Zhou is actually a Talisman Maker?"
Liang Sheng didn't refute when he heard this. Chen Mo was silent for a moment again, and then patted Liang Sheng on the shoulder, "Fellow Daoist Zhou must never do this in the future. After all, wealth should not be exposed."
Then, regardless of Liang Sheng's reaction, he took Liang Sheng to randomly choose a sect shop, but he felt a little complicated in his heart.
I originally thought that the other party was also a casual cultivator, a rookie who had just left the family and worked on his own, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a low-key rich man.
After all, which Talisman Maker is not supported by a lot of resources? It is difficult to describe the feeling in Chen Mo's heart at this moment.
But he was also a little confused. If that was the case, why would the other family let such a precious child run away to fend for themselves?
Could it be...
He didn't think about it anymore and accompanied Liang Sheng to exchange for ten spirit stones smoothly. When he saw Liang Sheng handing him four spirit stones, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"I would like to thank fellow Taoist Zhou for clarifying my doubts. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will suffer a loss this time. I hope that fellow Taoist Zhou will not refuse, because I will not need to trouble fellow Taoist again in the future."
Hearing what Liang Sheng said, Chen Mo only hesitated for a moment, then took the spirit stone handed over by Liang Sheng, "I will hand over this friend, Daoist Fellow Zhou."
At that moment, the relationship between the two seemed to be getting closer, and Liang Sheng also took the opportunity to ask what was going on in the cave.
"This cave is actually a house in Fangshi, but each cave has corresponding formations, such as the spirit gathering formation, the breath isolating formation...
Of course, because of the different effects of the formation, the prices are also different. For example, the cave of an ordinary spirit gathering formation only requires twenty low-grade spiritual stones for one year..."
Chen Mo explained the situation of the cave. It seemed that he had rented the cheapest house and only needed twenty low-grade spiritual stones a year.
Liang Sheng himself has an attribute panel to hide his attributes, so his confidentiality is not a problem, but when he heard about the Spirit Gathering Array, he was a little eager to try it.
After describing the situation in the cave, Chen Mo was going to take Liang Sheng to the office to rent the cave, which could actually be paid in installments.
After all, casual cultivators are poor.
But Liang Sheng turned back to the shop at this time, and Chen Mo couldn't help but be startled, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are going in the wrong direction."
"No, I still have some talismans, which can be exchanged for some spiritual stones."
Chen Mo was completely stunned when he heard this. When Liang Sheng came out, he already had thirty-six low-grade spirit stones in his hand, including the spirit stones he had exchanged before.
Seeing this, Chen Mo said in a gloomy tone, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, don't do this in front of others easily in the future. After all, your wealth should not be exposed."
This was Chen Mo's second attempt at persuading Liang Sheng. Hearing this, Liang Sheng smiled and said nothing. These spiritual stones seemed to be many, but for a foundation-building monk, they were not worth mentioning at all.
In this case, Liang Sheng naturally would not hesitate to exchange for the spirit stone. After all, does he still need to sleep in the open air and live in a shantytown outside?
Moreover, this can also test Chen Mo. If he has thoughts that he shouldn't have, I'm afraid he won't have to have too many friendships.
Fortunately, a look of surprise flashed through Chen Mo's eyes, and he took Liang Sheng to rent a house worth twenty low-grade spiritual stones. This cave was not far from Chen Mo's cave.
After working for a long time and inputting his spiritual energy to identify the owner, he moved into the cave with a spare jade slip.
The spare jade slips were prepared for the day when outsiders could enter the cave directly. Liang Sheng was actually a little surprised. How could anyone want others to come in?
However, Liang Sheng soon stopped caring. As the saying goes, he is hidden in the city. Now that he is on good terms with Chen Mo, he can integrate into the city better.
But after finishing the house, Liang Sheng went into the shop again. When he came out, the spiritual stones in his hand were almost all spent, but he had a Langhao pen, fine cinnabar and talisman paper in his hand.
I can finally refine some better talismans.
Seeing this, Chen Mo was not surprised. After all, the opponent was a Talisman Maker, but his equipment just now was a bit crude. It was understandable that he should get a better equipment.
However, he was still a little envious at this time. After all, Talisman Makers also need talent. Some people have a success rate of less than 5%, while others can achieve 10%.
It seems like Liang Sheng has at least a 10% success rate, so can he exchange some talismans at a low price in the future?
…
After that, Liang Sheng officially settled down in Fangshi. With Chen Mo, a veteran, he soon had a good idea of the situation in Fangshi.
There is an unspoken rule in the city. If there are no special circumstances or tasks, do not leave the city easily. After all, many people die every year outside the city, but there is almost no danger in the city.
The names of the three sects and the six sects were enough to deter Xiao Xiao and prevent them from messing around. However, Chen Mo said that there had been some friction between the Shangqing Sect and the Huatian Sect in the past hundred years.
But for their casual cultivators, this really doesn't matter. After all, the sect is at the top, so why do they need to worry?
There are also female cultivators in the city, but the number is very small. However, according to legend, there are also female cultivators who specialize in practicing Happy Zen, but Liang Sheng has not met any of them.
But I'm afraid this kind of female cultivator is not easy to mess with. Maybe during a night of fun, her essence will be damaged and she will regret it too late.
However, these female cultivators are no different from male cultivators. They are all rushing around for cultivation resources. Cultivating immortals only has blessings, and there is no distinction between gender.
As for becoming a Taoist couple, that is a treatment only available to male cultivators at level seven or above of Qi training. Otherwise, they are all low-level casual cultivators, and their resources are not enough. The two of them together cannot achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. It is simply
waste time.
After that, another quiet month passed.
Chen Mo was staying in the house. At this time, the atmosphere in the cave changed, but Chen Mo was visiting outside the door. Liang Sheng quickly packed his things, got up and opened the door.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have good news for you. There is a team at the east gate to kill the century-old demon wolf in the Purple Bamboo Forest. This is a good material for making wolf brushes. Are you interested?"
When casual cultivators gather together to perform tasks, they can have more protection. After all, more people are more powerful, so they can also deal with more powerful monsters and obtain more resources.
Liang Sheng has no interest in this. He just wants to wait quietly in the market without causing any trouble, because in the shop, there are opportunities to buy and sell Foundation Establishment Pills every once in a while, but the time interval is a bit long.
That’s all.
According to Fangshi, Foundation Establishment Pills can only be found once in a while, and sometimes it takes three sects and six sects stores a hundred years to release a Foundation Establishment Pill.
So if Liang Sheng doesn't save spiritual stones at this time, when will he wait? In addition, by refining the talisman himself, he can actually obtain spiritual stones better, so why go out and waste time?
Do you understand the cost-effectiveness of refining 100% successful diamond talismans and other talismans?
And if it weren't for the sake of keeping a low profile, I'm afraid that with his 100% success rate in practicing Qi Dan, he would be able to earn spiritual stones faster.
But the alchemist is more popular than the talisman maker, so the identity of the alchemist is not within the scope of Liang Sheng's consideration at all.
Seeing Liang Sheng shaking his head, Chen Mo was a little speechless. This person seemed to really have no desire to win. This was not a good thing for immortal cultivators, especially casual cultivators.
After all, if there is no fight, how can there be a chance of survival?
A good wolf hair pen can increase the success rate of the charm maker. If you follow him out, you can meet more friends and get a wolf hair pen. Isn't this a win-win situation?
It's a pity that no matter how Chen Mo persuaded him, after all, he would participate in person and there would be absolutely no danger in this trip. Liang Sheng remained unmoved in the end.
In this regard, Chen Mo could only leave alone. After Chen Mo left, in the next period of time, in addition to openly taking out one or two talismans, Liang Sheng adjusted several appearances and secretly took out many talismans each time.
Of course, every time he takes out talismans, he won't produce too many. Only small amounts will not attract attention. In this case, another month has passed, and at this time, there are more than 300 pieces of low-grade items in his storage bag.
Spiritual stone.
Whenever he thought of the dozen or so middle-grade spiritual stones left behind after the death of the Hua Tianzong steward, Liang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. He actually used them to practice. After all, it was a waste of natural resources.
For a period of time after that, Liang Sheng's life became extremely regular, and the city gradually became accustomed to the existence of a third-level qi-training talisman maker.
Many casual cultivators bought some talismans from Liang Sheng, and under such circumstances, Chen Mo finally returned to the market.
"Zhou Daoyou, I told you that it was a pity that you didn't go. Wu Daoyou, the captain of the East Gate team, is a master of the seventh level of Qi training. This time, with him here, the demon wolf killing was extremely smooth, and even a small demon wolf group was eradicated.
, this time I divided so much in one trip."
Chen Mo raised his hand as he spoke, indicating that he had earned forty low-grade spiritual stones this time, but Liang Sheng just listened quietly and didn't say much.
Seeing Liang Sheng's appearance, Chen Mo could only feel helpless, and he also had an idea in his mind that Fellow Daoist Zhou might still be young and didn't know the importance of spiritual stones.
In this way, Liang Sheng lived a low-key life in the world of cultivating immortals and cultivated in a low-key manner. Unknowingly, a year passed.
This year Liang Sheng had an extremely fulfilling life. He had almost practiced the curse seal method that could be used during the qi training period in the secular world, but he made great progress in this year. I don't know if it was because the spiritual qi in the city was more fulfilling.
reason.
Early in the morning, Liang Sheng went to the office to pay the rental fee for the cave for the next year. When Liang Sheng returned to the cave, he couldn't help but sigh.
A year has passed, and he has not received any news about the Foundation Establishment Pill. However, this year has not been without gains. At least he has used all the talismans refined in the secular world.
In addition to the food and drink expenses, and the replacement of a large number of raw material resources, such as spiritual grass, talisman paper, cinnabar, etc., he now has nearly 1,000 low-grade spiritual stones on his body.
He has collected almost all the spiritual herbs in the elixir he had obtained before. Unfortunately, it is difficult to refine them in the market now.
Of course, this was only a year, so there was still no movement in his cultivation.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age:511
Talent: Innocence and dullness (top quality)
Kung Fu: Shangqing Immortal Sutra (tenth level), Twenty Health Kung Fu (eighteenth level), Seven Arrows of the Nail Head (spell)
Realm: Ten levels of Qi training
Life span: 16322
However, this year there was peace in the city, but there was still some chaos outside the city. Even a homebody like him heard that at least ten casual cultivators were in danger and died.
Therefore, cultivating immortals is also a high-risk profession, but ordinary people outside the city who serve the city still flock to it and want to cultivate immortals.
After all, people are never satisfied, and why shouldn’t I be the same?
On this day, Chen Mo came to the door again with a smile on his face, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I want to exchange some diamond talismans with you. This time it is a big deal. If I get more diamond talismans, I will have more confidence."
Big business often represents greater danger, but you will be rich in rewards if you come back alive. Seeing this, Liang Sheng didn't say much, but exchanged the talisman with Chen Mo for a 20% discount from the private transaction in Fang City.
Chen Mo is also a little lucky now that he has saved a few spiritual stones this time. This year, he has saved at least one year's rental fees for the cave.
Of course there are better things in the market, but Chen Mo naturally wants to make the most appropriate preparations with the least amount of spiritual stones.
However, after changing the talisman, he was still going to persuade Liang Sheng, because in the past year, the price of talisman training materials has continued to rise, becoming more and more outrageous.
In fact, this was also Liang Sheng's own fault. Although he didn't ship much each time, he did it too frequently this year, so he replaced a lot of talismans, causing the shops of the three sects and six sects to lose a lot of income.
Therefore, the three sects and six sects did not ignore it, but controlled the price of the materials for making talismans at the source, so that the cost of making talismans increased, while the price of the talismans sold in the stores remained unchanged. As a result, the transaction volume of talismans in private was indeed much less.
Liang Sheng still shook his head when he heard this, "You don't need to persuade me, Daoist Chen. I'm naturally timid. Besides, I'm only at the third level of Qi training. I'm not in a hurry to go out. Safety comes first."
The lower the level of immortal cultivation, the less difficult it is to break through the bottleneck. Liang Sheng really didn't need to worry at this time, but Chen Mo said meaningfully, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, time flies by very fast, we still have to cherish it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
But naturally his words couldn't persuade Liang Sheng, so he had no choice but to give up the persuasion. He could only say that everyone has his own choice. After he put away the Vajra Talisman, he turned around and left.
Liang Sheng watched Chen Mo leave. At this time, he calmed down again, picked up the wolf brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw talismans on the talisman paper.
I saw the wolf-hair pen in Liang Sheng's hand moving like a dragon and a snake. After a while, the talisman paper shimmered, and the talisman was successfully made.
Diamond Talisman.
Then he drew the Heart-Purifying Talisman and the Body-Purifying Talisman one after another...
All have a 100% success rate.
The number he drew was not large. Nowadays, the market needs to be more low-key when selling these talismans. It is best not to get into the eyes of interested people. Naturally, he has to be more cautious and exchange them for similar spiritual stones.
Next, Liang Sheng's expression became serious, because next he had to draw the fireball talisman. Although it was a low-level talisman, he had never drawn it before in the secular world.
The fireball talisman can instantly cast more than ten fireball spells, and its power is not low. If used properly, I am afraid that even the fifth level of Qi training will suffer a loss, or even directly change the situation of the battle.
Compared with the diamond talisman and others, the value of this fireball talisman has doubled several times, because they are both low-level spiritual talismans, but the offensive talisman is more expensive than the auxiliary defense talisman.
One is because of its function, and the other is because the success rate of the offensive talisman is lower than that of the auxiliary defense talisman of the same level.
This year has passed, and his success rate in refining the fireball talisman has reached 10%, but today when he was drawing the last stroke, his breath was confused, and then the talisman spontaneously ignited without fire.
Failed again.
Liang Sheng didn't care about this. He cleaned up the tool table, took out a new piece of talisman paper, calmed down, and started drawing talismans again.
When he was feeling impatient about drawing the fireball talisman, Liang Sheng started to draw other talismans. The Qi Refining Period talisman that could not be drawn in the secular world was no longer hindered at this moment.
As for other magic seals, Liang Sheng naturally did not slack off. These are all life-saving skills. How could he not practice more frequently?
During the time when there was no news about the Foundation Establishment Pill, he planned to maintain this state of life. He would not attract attention and would just wait quietly.
It's a pity that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. When Chen Mo returned from the mission this time, something happened.
When Chen Mo came back, Liang Sheng was shocked. His face was pale, and even his body aura was somewhat ups and downs.
But no matter how Liang Sheng asked, Chen Mo didn't say a word about it. He just said that he needed to cultivate himself these days and didn't have to go out to perform tasks to compete for resources.
Seeing this situation, Liang Sheng naturally stopped asking any more questions, but after seeing Chen Mo in such a state, he still took out a few purification charms to clear away the hidden wounds in Chen Mo's body.
The effect of the first one was not great, but after Liang Sheng used ten purification talismans in succession, Chen Mo's aura gradually stabilized and his face gained some color.
Liang Sheng even used a Pure Heart Talisman to make Chen Mo's mental state better. Chen Mo was naturally grateful for this.
On this day, another casual cultivator visited Liang Sheng's cave, but they wanted to buy some talismans. Liang Sheng naturally would not refuse, but after collecting the spirit stones, he saw a few faint eyes staring at Chen Mo's cave.
Is this to monitor Chen Mo?
It seems that this time Chen Mo's so-called big business has attracted the attention of others, and now people are coming to his door. However, this is Fang City, and there are foundation-building monks sent by three sects and six sects. No one dares to mess around in Fang City.
.
But I'm afraid that Chen Mo won't be able to bear it anymore and will wait until his body recovers before going out to perform tasks and look for resources. By then, anything may happen.
Fortunately, Chen Mo was still recuperating from his injuries at this time, and he probably wouldn't be out of town for a short time, so he just pretended that he didn't see it, and it was better to do less than to do more.
At this time, those people who were staring at Chen Mo's cave also noticed Liang Sheng, but seeing that Liang Sheng didn't care at all and returned to the cave, they didn't take a second look.
A few days later, these cultivators who were keeping an eye on people disappeared. Chen Mo did not appear until a few days later. As soon as he saw Liang Sheng, he opened his mouth and exchanged some diamond talismans.
"Are you sure you want to go out?"
Hearing Liang Sheng's words, Chen Mo naturally felt that Liang Sheng had noticed something unusual, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded.
"This time it's really a big deal. Even if it's a bit dangerous, I still have to give it a try. After all, if I get it, the resources I need to break through to the sixth level of Qi training are completely sufficient."
When Liang Sheng heard this, he stopped trying to persuade the other party. Each had their own fate, but at this time Liang Sheng handed Chen Mo two talismans.
Chen Mo took a closer look and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
