There are many people in the business alliance like Liu Ruyin who are responsible for doing business with monks. Although they receive a monthly salary, the salary is not high and cannot meet their spiritual needs.
Rewards from guests are one of their additional sources of income. Of course, people like Liu Ruyin who are willing to put down their dignity to serve guests are another way to make money.
Everyone in the Merchant Alliance was a loose cultivator. They were poor before entering the Merchant Alliance. They know better than any other monks how cruel this world of cultivation is and how difficult it is to survive, so serving guests is not something that is difficult to accept.
Forced by life.
After walking out of the Tianji Merchant Alliance, Lu Ye sighed.
He originally wanted to ask if those storage bags could be sold, but Liu Ruyin made him forget about it.
It was hard to turn back and could only wait until next time. He originally planned to set off for the Blue Blood Sect's headquarters, but now it seemed that there was no need to rush.
There are some good things on hand, and digesting them and completely transforming them into your own cultivation is the right way. The higher your cultivation, the safer you will be on the road.
As for staying in the Tianji Merchant Alliance, Lu Ye didn't think about it. He was currently short of money. The price of one spiritual stone per night seemed not much, but if he had to stay for many days, it would be a huge expense.
With four spirit stones left in his hand, Lu Ye followed the memory of the day and found a pill shop. He spent two spirit stones to buy two spirit-accumulating pills, and then went to the street where the stall was set up again.
He took a few pieces of ore from the storage bag and put them on the table. Lu Ye sat down cross-legged and took out another spiritual stone.
This was the first time he had obtained a spiritual stone. This thing could assist his practice.
Lu Ye has already tried taking drugs to practice medicine. Now he wants to try practicing with the help of spiritual stones to compare and see how effective it is. If the efficiency is good, he will not have to go to Hualing Stone to buy spiritual pills in the future.
Although he has never practiced with a spiritual stone, he has never eaten pork before and has always seen pigs running away. During the day, he saw many stall owners here, selling things while practicing with a spiritual stone in their hands, very leisurely and contented.
Now that he has learned a lot, Lu Ye discovered one of the benefits of using spiritual stones to practice.
That is, you can interrupt your practice at any time. Unlike taking a spiritual pill, the pill power will dissolve in the abdomen. If it is not guided in time, it will cause the pill power to accumulate.
It's different when you use spiritual stones to practice. If something happens, you can just interrupt your practice without any impact.
This street was also very lively at night, and monks would come to ask for prices from time to time. Lu Ye dealt with it as he did during the day, and miraculously made a deal. One of the ores was sold for five spiritual stones.
When dawn came, Lu Ye stopped practicing. He opened his palm and looked at the spiritual stone. It had only shrunk by a small circle. Then he looked at the increased spiritual power in his tenth orifice. Lu Ye frowned slightly.
After a night of trying, he came to several conclusions.
Using spirit stones to practice is safer than using spirit pills. Firstly, the practice process can be interrupted at any time. Secondly, there will be no hidden dangers in spiritual stone practice. This is the same as breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
But in terms of efficiency, it is far inferior to swallowing a magic pill.
Perhaps it was because of his talent that it was difficult to guide spiritual energy into his body. Lu Ye felt that with his cultivation efficiency, he would have to practice non-stop for several days before he could consume a single spiritual stone.
Other monks may be more efficient, but they are definitely not as efficient as taking elixirs.
As for value for money...
The value of a spiritual stone is basically the same as that of a spiritual accumulation pill. The increase in spiritual power after consuming a spiritual stone is roughly the same as the increase in spiritual power after consuming a spiritual accumulation pill, so the price-performance ratio is almost the same.
After this test, Lu Ye finally understood why everyone needed to replace spiritual stones with elixirs to practice. In terms of efficiency, taking spiritual elixirs was indeed higher, and naturally it was more popular with everyone.
As the sky was getting brighter, Lu Ye closed his stall and walked out of the market.
Since you don't want to waste money on accommodation in Tianji Merchant Alliance, you can only find another place.
He planned to return to the cave he had stayed in Qingyun Mountain before. It was relatively safe there and he would not be disturbed by others while practicing.
The reason why I didn't leave at night was mainly because it was not safe to travel at night.
Before leaving, he spent two more spirit stones to buy a lot of food. Hunting in the mountains takes a lot of time, and there are not many animals in that area.
I counted my current assets, including forty-seven Yuanling Pills, five low-grade spiritual stones, nearly thirty spiritual talismans, six healing pills, nearly thirty large and small yuan magnetic minerals, and some Lu Ye
Unnamed ore, four sets of clothes.
Compared with when he first entered the Lingxi battlefield, his assets are almost the same, but his cultivation level has improved tremendously.
Lu Ye believed that if he could turn all these things in his hands into strength, he might be able to advance to several levels of Lingxi.
However, this kind of thing cannot be done urgently, it must be taken care of slowly.
There are many monks coming in and out of the city, most of them traveling in groups, and there are also lone wolves like Lu Ye. They are casual monks who are not loved by grandma and uncle.
The time when Lu Ye left the market was before dawn. He was alone, so he had to be careful.
After successfully entering Qingyun Mountain, Lu Ye ran all the way, deliberately making a few circles during the process to make sure no one was following him, and then followed the road out of the mountain.
Before noon, Lu Ye rushed back to his previous cave.
To his surprise, there was movement in the cave. He carefully touched it in, holding a magic talisman in his hand, ready to go. When he took a closer look, his nose was almost crooked with anger.
In the cave, a snow-white figure was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly. Who could it be if it wasn't a big tiger?
Yiyi floated out from Dahu's forehead and met Lu Ye's eyes. The scene was a bit awkward.
"What are you doing at my house?" Lu Ye asked.
Yiyi also asked: "Didn't you leave?"
"I'm back again!"
A moment later, the big tiger's majestic figure sprang out of the cave, turned around and roared at Lu Ye. On the big tiger's head, Yiyi was filled with anger and gritted his teeth: "Big liar! Unfaithful and unjust!"
"Get out!" Lu Ye's shout came from the cave.
After driving away the spirit and tiger that occupied the magpie's nest, Lu Ye ate something and entered a state of cultivation.
He first took out the two spirit-accumulating pills he had purchased with spirit stones, drank one of them, and after the pill's power melted in his abdomen, he guided the spiritual power into the spiritual orifice.
The spiritual power in the tenth orifice slowly accumulates.
After all the power of the Soul-Absorbing Pill was consumed, Lu Ye opened his eyes and found a problem. The efficacy of the Soul-Absorbing Pill he bought from the market did not seem to be as good as the ones given to him by the master. The difference was not too big.
Big, but there is indeed a gap. This can be inferred from the spiritual power accumulated in one's own spiritual aperture.
He did not stop and took another pill of Yunling. After the pill's power was completely consumed, he became more and more certain of the result.
Then he took out the Spirit-Absorbing Pill he got from the Tianji Merchant Alliance and drank it.
After some comparison, he finally came to the conclusion that Liu Ruyin did not lie to him. The Spirit-accumulating Pills in the Tianji Merchant Alliance were indeed better than those sold outside, and were equivalent to those given to him by the master.
From this point of view, I did not spend money wasted. If I buy elixirs in the future, I still have to go to Tianji Merchant Alliance. At least the quality is guaranteed.
