Zhou Hongzheng and Zhang Shuniang were chatting about their daily life. When they saw Chen Li coming out with a cheerful face, he was immediately overjoyed. He left Zhang Shuniang behind, walked up to him, and asked aloud: "But it's done?"
Chen Li smiled and said: "It's a lucky break. You can continue chatting while I go for a walk outside."
"Well, be careful on the road."
Wait until he walks out the door.
Zhang Shuniang couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Aunt Zhou, has uncle achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation?"
Zhou Hong's face was full of joy: "Well, yes, your uncle is now a monk in the late stage of Qi training. The late stage of Qi training has always been a big hurdle. Some people can be stuck for a lifetime. I didn't expect that your uncle broke through in one fell swoop this time.
!”
"Then uncle, isn't it possible to build the foundation?" Zhang Shuniang blinked her eyes and said with some envy.
Zhou Hong hesitated for a while after hearing this: "It must be difficult, after all, he is quite old, and there are still many hurdles to overcome. This, it depends on fate, for unrooted casual cultivators like us
, it is difficult to build a foundation!
Your uncle, he was delayed and wasted years when he was young, and now he knows how to catch up. If he could join a sect at that time, he would probably be a foundation-building monk by now."
There was a hint of pride and doting in her tone.
In her heart, Chen Li has always been one of those buried geniuses.
Whether it was drawing talismans, spells, or swordsmanship, nothing had ever troubled him. He was always good at it, and once he mastered it, he became proficient... A simple low-level spell could be mastered by him to an incredible level.
Even the speed of cultivation is very fast.
It's a pity that time was wasted.
He was supposed to be a genius in the sect, but he was banished to the mortal world and had to wallow in the mud.
"Uncle, you are so powerful!" Zhang Shuniang opened her mouth slightly and widened her eyes in disbelief.
The uncle had always given her the impression that he looked ordinary, but at most he was a bit more powerful.
…
Chen Li walked out and didn't go anywhere else.
Go straight to Fangshi.
"what fruit is this?"
There was a pile of small red fruits that looked like strawberries on a stall. They were bright red and very attractive.
"Just a wild fruit. I picked it in the wilderness in the morning. Why don't you try some? It's as sweet as honey and very delicious. I guarantee you'll want to eat it again."
Chen Li tasted one and felt it tasted pretty good, so he took out his money bag and asked, "How do you sell this?"
"Three taels of gold per catty!" When the business came to his door, the casual cultivator perked up and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, how many catties do you want?"
Chen Li's expression froze.
Apart from spiritual stones, he carried no gold at all in his purse.
He hesitated, then put the money bag back into his sleeve pocket: "Forget it, I won't buy it!"
With that said, he turned and left.
"Hey, hey, don't go, how about two taels of gold..."
…
Chen Li continued to visit other stalls.
When shopping here, sometimes you don't feel that this is a Xiuzhenfang market, because all the people coming and going are immortal cultivators.
Pots and pans, clothes and quilts, firewood, oil, salt, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, these worldly things are everywhere here, and the whole city is filled with the smell of fireworks.
Someone was bargaining fiercely for an old robe, making his face red and neck thick.
There are also people who are sneaky and have erratic eyes, sneaking in and out of the crowd, looking for opportunities to strike.
Chen Li was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. As long as he didn't come looking for him, he would just pretend he didn't see him.
He went from stall to stall.
When he saw a book, he squatted down and browsed through it, and bought the ones that were useful. Many of the books here were from the secular world, the content was vulgar, and they were full of obscene words and obscenities, which made it difficult for people to look directly at them.
Just to better understand the secular world.
Chen Li could only hold his nose and bought a few books, but stopped buying them.
"Huh!"
Chen Li let out a light sigh, walked to a stall, squatted down, picked up a book called "Experience Notes on Commonly Used Talisman Making Methods" and started to read through it.
The book is very thick.
There are more than thirty pages.
The content is also very detailed.
It records five methods of making talismans.
Meditation Talisman, Evil-Repelling Talisman, Fire Ball Talisman, Light Body Talisman, Amulet.
Among them, the meditation talisman and the fireball talisman were not found in several talisman-making books at his home.
Especially the Fireball Talisman, which is relatively unpopular.
Talisman masters rarely make attack talismans.
At least that's the case with Green River Square.
On the one hand, the sales are not very good. Compared with the three best-selling talismans in the Qi Refining Period, which are the anti-evil talisman, the light body talisman, and the amulet, the attack talisman is undoubtedly much more difficult to sell, and it is a thankless effort.
On the other hand, it is not easy to learn and make this type of talisman. The attack talisman is very powerful. A mistake in the production process can easily cause danger and is full of risks. It is not as powerful as the three major talismans. Even if it is accidentally triggered, it is not easy to learn and make.
, it’s no big deal.
Just like he has captured so many talismans one after another, the only attack talisman he has is the 'Flame Talisman', which he got from his first murder and has not been used yet.
Chen Li thought about it and decided to buy the book.
It's not that he values the fireball talisman.
Instead, focus on the later part about amulets.
Having one more book for reference can save a lot of time when studying.
Although he is not short of money now, he cannot always rely on this kind of windfall. He also needs a stable income. Even if he cannot use it for the time being, he must at least learn to be prepared.
What's more, the value of the amulet is not low. Although the price has dropped recently, it is still stable at six low-grade spiritual stones.
The amulet and the demon-dispelling talisman are both first- and seventh-level talismans.
For him who has now reached the seventh level of qi training, there is no need to go beyond the level to draw talismans as he has sufficient spiritual power.
Just draw three talisman every day.
Even if you succeed half way, you will live an extremely comfortable life.
…
Next, Chen Li bargained with the stall owner for a while, and finally settled the deal for five low-grade spiritual stones.
"Alas, my bargaining skills have weakened." Chen Li put away the book, stood up, and sighed in his heart: "After getting rich, I no longer have the shameless hard work before!"
After shopping around the market, he decided to go home. As soon as he walked out of the market, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Fellow Daoist Chen!?"
Chen Lixun turned around and saw that it was Yu Fanzhen. His face changed slightly: "Fellow Taoist, have you recognized the wrong person?"
When he went out today, he used his true colors.
There's no use for the butcher's vest at all.
"So this is your true face." Yu Fanzhen said with determination. She looked at Chen Li curiously and thought to herself, it turns out that you look so fierce because you are disguised, but your true face is quite kind.
Chen Li calmed down and pretended, and asked curiously: "How did you recognize it?"
It's not a big deal if he recognizes it. The worst he can do is to go out less often in the future.
"The way you walk and the sword you carry with you, there is no one else in the entire Green River Square. You must know that when you bought this sword, it belonged to one of me!" Yu Fanzhen said with a smile, calm and calm, and imposing.
Came up again.
"That's it!" Chen Li understood immediately and said with a smile: "I was careless this time, I must pay attention next time."
"My Taoist friends are so strong, why do they have to disguise themselves?" Yu Fanzhen said.
This girl really deserves a beating from society.
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief for a thousand days. If you want to live a long life, you must either develop your power or learn to keep a low profile. I just choose the latter!" Chen Li took advantage of these words to inquire about outside news:
"I heard that the war outside is worse than here. Do you know what the situation is now?"
Yu Fanzhen frowned slightly when he heard this, with a worried look on his face: "I don't know much about it, these are all arranged by the ancestor, but in recent months, the communication talisman has been consumed frequently, and it should be over soon. Alas, I don't know if it will happen again in the future.
Where to move?"
Chen Li couldn't help but feel the same and fell silent.
With the current situation, without the support of major forces, Green River Fang is destined to slowly die out. He was thinking about his future, and he was only at a loss in his heart.
But no matter where you go.
At least it's much better than staying in Green River Fang.
"Let's not talk about this anymore!" Chen Li changed the topic, and with a thought in mind, he coveted the storage bag: "Last time I saw you packing meat, you seemed to be using a storage bag. I don't know how much this thing costs, fellow Taoist.
There are many, can you give me one?"
In case of migration, this thing can also be used.
At least I don't have to carry luggage anymore.
"You want this! I do have more, but the capacity is only one side, don't you mind!" Yu Fanzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this.
As a member of the family, things like storage bags, magic weapons, elixirs, etc. are all distributed by the family based on how favored they are.
Money is also tight and there is not much money left.
Now that she is traveling on behalf of the family, she often needs to purchase some things. The original storage bag is not enough, so the ancestor gave her another large-capacity one.
As for the extra storage bag, she had long wanted to sell it for spiritual stones.
I just never knew who to sell it to.
"Of course I don't mind." Chen Li said.
One side of space.
Not much monster meat can be transported.
But it's enough to hold some sundries and stuff.
"This kind of storage bag usually costs one high-grade spiritual stone. I won't make money for you. Just give me...eighty medium-grade spiritual stones." Yu Fan thought about it and quoted a price.
Chen Li was speechless secretly when he heard this.
Storage bags are so expensive!
He felt a little painful, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, it's a deal. I'll bring the money to the Yu Family Pill Shop to find you early tomorrow morning."
"I will definitely arrive early tomorrow morning." Yu Fanzhen was also happy in his heart.
…
The next day, early in the morning.
It's just dawn.
Chen Li took the money and rushed to Fangshi.
On the way, he transformed into a butcher.
But he didn't expect Yu Fan to get up earlier than him and have been waiting at the door.
The two of them walked to a box where distinguished guests were received. Both of them were a little nervous. They waited for Zhike to bring tea, then bowed again, left, and closed the door.
The atmosphere became relaxed.
"I'm really not used to this face." Yu Fanzhen joked.
"Haha!" Chen Li laughed twice and got straight to the point: "Did you bring the things?"
Yu Fanzhen took a deep breath and handed over a dusty and inconspicuous pouch: "Here, this is it!"
Chen Li reached out and took it.
The storage bag is made of leather, and there is no visible material. It feels very soft and smooth. The opening is naturally tight, exuding a vague wave: "How do you use this thing?"
"It needs to be refined with spiritual power first. When the time comes, you can use it just by thinking about it. It is similar to how to use a magic weapon."
Chen Li heard this and tentatively input his spiritual power.
It was extremely difficult at first, but with the continuous output of spiritual power, it soon became smoother. The spiritual power itself contained his spiritual will, and the original imprint of the storage bag was quickly washed away.
Yu Fan really seemed to be feeling something.
Make a muffled sound.
His face couldn't help but turn red.
Chen Li glanced at her in surprise, but he could no longer care about her at this time. As his spiritual power continued to be refined and imprinted on himself, a gray space gradually appeared in his mind. It seemed to be round, but it seemed not.
…
'receive'
The teacup on the table didn't move at all.
He reached out and grabbed the tea cup.
Again silently chanting ‘collect’ in my heart
The teacup disappeared instantly, and at the same time, the disappeared teacup appeared in space.
It seems that it must be in physical contact.
'put'
The teacup quickly appeared in my hand without even a drop of water spilling.
He then tried to put the magic sword and money bag into the storage bag, and then took them out one by one, having a great time.
"What do you think?" Yu Fanzhen looked at Chen Li and said amusedly.
"I can't help but be happy to see the hunting heart. This thing is really magical." Chen Li came back to his senses and said with a smile: "The eighty-middle grade spiritual stone, right?"
He took out a bulging money bag and pushed it over: "There are exactly eighty here, please count them."
This time it was Yu Fanzhen's turn to breathe quickly.
She counted it twice with trembling fingers before putting it into her purse. She forced herself to calm down and said, "It's accurate!"
After the transaction was completed, Chen Li quickly left.
…
On the way back.
"Two hundred and ninety-five middle-grade spiritual stones went to eighty in a flash! It seems like so much money, but it doesn't get spent very often, but you still have to spend it. With the storage bag, it will be more convenient when you go out in the future.
That’s a lot.” Chen Li sighed in his heart: “Fortunately, except for pills, there won’t be any big expenditures next.”
The reason is not 281, but 295.
This is because, in the past month or so, Zhao Lin and others have sold eight low-grade magical artifacts and one medium-grade magical artifact, plus the income from reselling Zhang Yan's Talisman, making a total of fourteen medium-grade spiritual stones.
Chen Li walked home.
Zhou Hong had just gotten up and was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror.
"Let me show you something nice!" Chen Li took out the storage bag and waved it in front of her eyes.
Zhou Hong was confused: "What is this?"
"Storage bag!" Chen Li said.
"This is the storage bag? Where did you buy it?" Zhou Hong touched the storage bag with a look of disbelief.
She had only heard of this kind of thing, but had never actually seen it.
Those who can possess are either sect disciples or foundation-building monks, both of whom are superior and have nothing to do with casual cultivators.
"Of course it's the Yu family. I'll buy one for you when I get the chance."
"It's good if you have it. I don't need it. It's very expensive." Zhou Hong said with a distressed look on her face.
"I spent eighty middle-grade spiritual stones, and my family still has money, so I can afford to buy a few more."
"It's really not necessary. I don't have many things to pack. It would be too wasteful to buy them for me. Now my family has a lot of expenses, so I have to save some money. If I don't know, I will have to spend a lot of money in the future." Zhou
Hong said softly.
"Don't worry, I know how to deal with money."
One day, I will never have to worry about money again!
