"First-class spiritual grass Sunflower, the purchase price is one low-grade spiritual stone per plant, unlimited purchase, large quantity, good price."
"First-grade Lingcao Zhixiancao, the purchase price is two low-grade Lingshi per plant, the best price in the city."
…
As the overlord of the nearby area, the Fire Cloud Sect's power radiates throughout the Wild West. Every day, various large and small flying boats shuttle here endlessly. There is an endless stream of monks coming from the south to the north. The business is prosperous and extremely lively.
There are seventeen or eighteen stores in the city that purchase spiritual herbs, including elixir shops that also sell medicinal herbs.
Chen Li visited all the purchase sites, and after understanding the approximate prices, he began to constantly change his appearance and attire, and sold out the mountains of herbs in the storage bags in batches.
The herbs in his hand are not of high grade, they are all first-grade, and the best batch are first-grade high-grade ones.
But the quantity is large.
Just like ordinary Qi training and casual cultivation, if you can pick one in the forest, you will be happy.
If you can collect five plants, you will be able to live a nourishing life throughout the month. Not only will you be able to eat enough spiritual rice and monster meat, you will even have a surplus.
The number of herbs on Chen Li's hand is measured in tons.
And they are dried herbs.
Fortunately, Stanley City has enough market capacity to handle this batch of goods.
After working for a long time, when the last batch of goods was sold out, Chen Li already had 398 high-grade spiritual stones in his hands.
Including the original ones, Chen Li had a total of 436 high-grade spiritual stones on hand.
And this does not include the remaining blood wealth gained from the battle with the Tianxing Sect and the return of the three components of the Zhen Sect's mountain-protecting formation.
Having just received such a huge sum of money, Chen Li, who is not yet warm and itchy, can't wait to start making big purchases!
Cloud-patterned robe: a second-level top-grade robe, equipped with second-level and seventh-level shield skills.
Spent 85 high-quality spiritual stones.
Although he can cast a full-level water shield that is comparable to a second-level and eighth-level spell, and the shield spell that comes with the robe is only as effective as a second-level and sixth-level spell at most, and its defense is far stronger than the shield spell, but
Casting a spell takes time, and when there is a sudden battle or being surprised, the most lacking thing is time, which does not allow you to deal with it calmly.
The only drawback is that the defense is a bit poor.
However, this is already the best robe you can buy, unless you try your luck at the auction house.
The robe is different from the magic weapon. The process is complicated. Both the production time and the difficulty of production are far from the weapon. If you want to embroider various talisman formations on the thin and light silk cloth, you must use higher-end tools.
grade materials to make up for it.
The low-level robes are okay, and you can easily find the materials.
It's more difficult for higher-level students.
For example, this "cloud pattern robe" is made of the down of third-level monsters.
Fortunately, it was almost the same. It was possible to block the raids of ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building, and this was enough time for Chen Li to react.
Guiyuan Pill: used to assist monks in their cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building.
Twelve medium-grade spiritual stones in a bottle.
It was more than twice as expensive as Heqi Pill. Chen Li bought a hundred bottles.
Another 12 high-grade spiritual stones were spent.
"This money is really becoming more and more useless." Chen Li sighed in his heart: "Nearly a hundred high-grade spiritual stones were spent in one fell swoop. Next, there is a house, which is also a big expense."
Chen Li has already inquired about it.
Houses here are indeed available for purchase, but they are all expensive.
The price of a small courtyard covering an area of half an acre is basically around five high-grade spiritual stones. Based on his salary from the Huanzhen Sect, he would have to go without food for five years to afford it.
Renting is also not cheap.
Thirty middle-grade spiritual stones are required every year.
After all, if you stay for a long time, it is still a good deal.
The small courtyard of half an acre was obviously too small for Chen Li.
Not only are the activities restricted, but the formations are also difficult to set up. Even if a second-level low-grade Yin-Yang Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formation is set up, it will take at least four or five acres to fully display it.
"Now the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. The money earned from the Golden Light Amulet has long been insufficient to cover expenses. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, the remaining money will only last for ten or twenty years at most." Replied
On the way to the inn, Chen Li was thinking secretly in his mind as he walked:
"You still have to learn how to practice the Essence Water Elemental Talisman as soon as possible, and replace the Golden Light Amulet as a new way of making money!"
Business here is prosperous, there are many monks coming from south to north every day, and the number of foundations is astonishing. The second-level talismans that did not sell much in Huanzhen Sect have no worries about being sold here.
…
Early the next morning, Chen Li found the office that specialized in renting and selling houses.
The door here is still closed.
There was already a long queue outside.
"Are there so many people here every day?"
Chen Li called to the Qi Practitioner in front of him.
The qi-training monk was well-informed. When he saw the second-level robe on Chen Li, he knew that he was a foundation-building monk. He quickly handed over his hand: "Senior, this is the third-level spiritual land. If it were another world, what would we and other casual cultivators have?"
Opportunity to enter. Qi training monks rent here for a year or two. If they can break through the realm or even build a foundation, everything will be worth it.
Unfortunately, there are few rooms and there are many people, so I have to come as early as possible. I have been here for three days, and every time it is almost my turn, it is gone."
"I see!"
Chen Li understood immediately.
Back then, I was building foundations for advanced levels.
He also deliberately ventured deep into the forest to find higher-level spiritual lands.
But here, it is obviously much more convenient and safer.
For Qi-training monks, the annual rent of thirty middle-grade spiritual stones is indeed extremely high, but it is not unattainable.
After all, he had spent 440 middle-grade spiritual stones on just two Foundation Establishment Pills.
With this amount of money, I can live here for fourteen years.
"When will this place open?"
"It depends on when the steward comes. It's usually around noon every day, but you can't tell for sure. Sometimes if something happens, he might not come."
Chen Li: "..."
Chen Li was helpless and could only wait patiently.
He and the Qi Practitioner chatted all the time. As time passed, the queue behind him became longer and longer.
When the sun was about to rise above the head, an old Ji Ji wearing a robe from the Fire Cloud Sect finally slowly walked over.
The old man was a handsome man, with thick bags under his eyes and swollen eyelids. He looked sleepy. He didn't even bother to wait in such a long queue.
He went over to open the door, walked inside, and said slowly:
"There are only 32 places for renters today. If you can't get your turn, please come early tomorrow!"
The team suddenly became commotion.
"Alas, there are fewer places today than yesterday, so we can only wait until tomorrow to see more."
"I've been living in the inn for half a month. When will there be an available room?"
…
Most of those who felt it was not their turn sighed and left, while others wanted to take a look, trying to wait for a miracle to happen.
Business was handled quickly.
Not long after, it was Chen Li's turn, and he was the last one.
"The rental house is gone. If you want it, fellow Taoist, you can only buy it." Seeing that it was a foundation builder, the old man couldn't help but raise his eyelids and said one more thing.
"I'm going to buy it. The area should be about five acres. Please ask the steward to choose a stable and livable place." Chen Li quickly offered a high-grade spiritual stone, stuffed it into the opponent's hand, and cupped it.
The old man's originally dull and stiff face suddenly blossomed with a smile like a chrysanthemum, and his whole person became enthusiastic. Compared with before, he looked completely different:
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I wonder if you are free right now. I will take you to choose one by one!"
