"Brother Junyi, today may be another day of work in vain. Even the stall fee is not enough."
Guan Man looked at the sun that was already setting in the west and couldn't help but whisper, with a look of worry in his eyes.
I have been here for almost a day today, but I have only sold one puppet in total. In addition to the cost of refining raw materials, even the stall fee is not enough.
Guan Junyi patted her shoulder gently, but a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Those people don't know the goods. Uncle Tianxi and the others sold a lot in the past few times. Those are the people who know how to sell puppets!"
"But those spirit stones have been almost used up. Now they are only enough to refine some puppets to sell. However, other people in the village can no longer practice. They are too..."
Guan Man said worriedly.
And at the end of the sentence, there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his tone. After Guan Junyi heard this, he immediately interrupted Guan Man's words without waiting for the other party to finish.
"What does it matter if they... cultivate or not? In the future, they will be just like us at most. They can refine some things. That's all. Get ready to go back!"
His eyes swept across the distance as if inadvertently. On this long street, there were several figures wandering around, leisurely shuttling in front of some other temporary stalls.
From time to time, those people would stop in front of a certain stall to watch, but occasionally their eyes would still fall on them.
Although there was a smile on Guan Junyi's face, a trace of resentment flashed deep in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
As he spoke, he was about to put away the puppets in the stall.
But when his eyes fell and touched these puppets, a deep sadness arose in his heart, but more importantly, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, he saw two figures out of the corner of his eye. After passing through other stalls, they seemed to be heading towards him.
Guan Junyi stopped for a moment, and when he was about to look up, Guan Man, who had been paying attention to the few people walking around at this time, had already noticed the man and the woman.
The man was an old man in a green shirt, with gray hair, but a very tall and majestic figure, which was a full head taller than the woman beside him.
The woman was dressed in pure white clothes, but she must be in her thirties, and she looked a bit soft and frail.
The woman seemed to have experienced vicissitudes of life, with some crow's feet appearing at the corners of her eyes, and her appearance was very ordinary, with no trace of her former beauty.
Guan Man didn't dare to scan others with his spiritual consciousness, so he didn't know what the cultivation level of these two people was, but judging from the other party's demeanor, he was definitely not someone he could provoke.
She wanted to greet this kind of customer, but she felt a little afraid in her heart. The quality of her things here was not high, and the other party might not even take notice of her.
And when she was looking at the pair of men and women, the weak-looking woman in white also glanced at them.
Immediately, after a slight pause, he walked towards here.
The white-haired old man also looked this way, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he also walked over with a slanted step.
Just when Guan Junyi raised his head, the man and woman walked straight over. It was obvious that they were heading here.
Of course Guan Man had this bit of vision, and he was so happy that he hurriedly said hello before the other party came to the front of the stall.
"Seniors, do you need anything?"
After Li Yan and Bai Rou enter the city along the way, Li Yan will cast a spell to cover up his and Bai Rou's appearance.
In a place like Fangshi, it is easy to be targeted, so Li Yan did this in order to avoid any trouble.
Although he did not use the Chaotic Pill, he is now a monk in the Void Refining Realm, and it is not an easy task for a monk who wants to see through his magic.
Especially the monks who are walking outside, there are not many monks who are above the cultivation level.
Looking at the puppets in the stall in front of him, Li Yan felt that from his perspective, just from the initial perception, they all seemed to be ordinary.
Of course, he doesn't think the puppet's shape is ugly, nor is he the kind of person who is picky about appearance. Instead, he values practical value the most.
Li Yan's spiritual consciousness swept through and found that the refining of these puppets was a bit rough, which made him judge that with such a level of refining, there would be no good formation drive in the puppets.
After all, the passage of slightly more powerful spiritual energy requires the hard body of the puppet. Even those who know a little bit about mechanism puppets know these superficial truths.
The refining of puppets like the ones in front of them cannot withstand the driving of too strong magic power or spiritual energy. If they are exerted with a little more power, they may self-destruct.
Of course, this is also due to his high vision. Just when everyone buys something, of course it must be useful to themselves. These puppets Li Yan feel that they are also useless to Bai Rou.
But based on his character, even if he sees something that is unacceptable to his eyes, he will not say any harsh words at all.
"Let me consider!"
Bai Rou listened to the other party's beautiful voice and looked at the well-behaved look of the little girl in front of her, and she suddenly felt some affection in her heart.
The opponent's cultivation level is very low, and he still has the unique youthful smell of a girl. Bai Rou's current cultivation level is considered good, not to mention that the two people's cultivation level is so different.
So even if she didn't check the other person's bone age, she could still determine the little girl's true age, she was as young as she saw in front of her.
This is not the mortal world. In the fairy world, it is too normal for monks to build foundations in their teens.
After hearing Bai Rou's words, Guan Man immediately kept silent obediently, while Guan Junyi also had a smile on his face and did not speak in a hurry. He also stood there waiting.
Bai Rou stretched out her slender hand, picked up a falcon-shaped puppet, and then inserted her spiritual consciousness into it.
Seeing Bai Rou pick up a bird-like puppet, Guan Junyi and Guan Man quickly glanced at each other and immediately knew that the other person must be an expert.
Although bird-like puppets are very common, they are usually not chosen unless they are specifically needed.
The refining of bird puppets requires a very high level of refiner because he has to consider more factors.
For example, while fighting with others and being able to dodge at high speeds, etc., this requires more stringent requirements for the passage of spiritual energy in the body and the regulation of spiritual energy.
Especially the materials for refining these puppets are not very high-end. In fact, they are very ordinary. Logically speaking, such materials are not suitable for refining bird-like puppets.
Therefore, they only have this falcon-shaped puppet here, which was made by an elder in the family when he got interested.
If the woman in white doesn't need it, it can only mean that the other party is also an expert in it and wants to judge the quality of other puppets through this puppet.
After all, there are only puppets in this stall and nothing else. This clearly tells others that this is a place that specializes in puppets.
These puppets are naturally made by them or the people behind them.
Li Yan watched Bai Rou carefully looking at a low-level puppet. He didn't care. This situation had happened many times along the way.
Every time after entering the market, Bai Rou is most concerned about the shops selling puppets and the places where raw materials are gathered.
Although she will not buy in most cases, she will still increase her knowledge through these observations.
What Bai Rou doesn't know is that often Li Yan will find a reason to get rid of some of the raw materials she cares about, or he will buy them after he leaves for a while.
But Li Yan did not give it to Bai Rou. If he did, senior sister Bai would definitely not be willing to go to Fangshi again in the future, given her character.
Therefore, he will give these things to Bai Rou at once after he returns to the Demon Sect in the future.
After Bai Rou looked at it for a while, in the expectant eyes of Guan Junyi and Guan Man, she put the falcon-like puppet back.
This action of hers made their hearts sink. As expected, the other party didn't take notice of her.
However, Bai Rou then picked up another puppet on the stall, and this time she looked at it for a long time, enough time to have a cup of tea.
This made Li Yan, who didn't care at all, feel a little surprised.
Although this situation has happened before, this kind of puppet appears in larger shops, and at first glance, the level is impressive.
"Can I try?"
At this moment, Bai Rou raised her head and looked at Guan Junyi. Guan Junyi was obviously more mature here.
"Senior, of course this is possible, but if senior uses mana to detect the operation, the mana injected by senior...the mana injected by senior cannot exceed the golden elixir realm...
Oh, and you can’t really drive the attack, this is Fangshi!”
After hearing this, Guan Junyi hurriedly answered immediately, but there was still an embarrassed look on his face.
When these puppets exploded, they could only reach the power of the Golden Core Realm at most, which made him feel very helpless.
Of course he knew that a puppet of this level would be of little use to a monk like this.
It is mostly used for things like serving tea and water, cleaning caves, watering spiritual fields, etc. But this is not a humanoid puppet, so it is very practical.
But if it was used as a gift to his juniors, it would be of some use, so he still had great expectations in his heart.
After hearing this, Bai Rou nodded slightly.
Then he picked up the falcon-shaped puppet again, and poured the magic power into it with just a slight push.
Immediately, the puppet's body surface quickly became brighter, and its body also quickly increased to about the size of a foot...
After about ten breaths, the magic power in Bai Rou's hand was withdrawn, and the falcon-like puppet returned to its normal state.
In the expectant looks of Guan Junyi and Guan Man, Bai Rou spoke softly.
"How can I sell this puppet?"
"Senior, this puppet sells for twenty middle-grade spiritual stones. I think senior is also a person who knows the goods. With such ordinary materials, it has already achieved the effect of a golden elixir monk.
This is enough to show that the puppets we refine pay more attention to the core, and...if the seniors have other puppets that they are interested in, we can still negotiate the price!"
Guan Junyi said immediately, and then quickly picked out a few puppets that he thought were good and gathered them together.
After Bai Rou looked at the puppets, she shook her head slightly, and with a wave of her jade hand, twenty middle-grade spiritual stones appeared.
This was what she exchanged in other markets. Low-level spiritual stones were not very practical in the fairy world, and she didn't want to spend Li Yan's spiritual stones at every turn.
Then, the spirit stones fell on the stall.
What this young man said was right, a puppet with the strength of a Jindan-level monk could only be made by himself and Yu Niang, even in the Muliu Sect.
This kind of price is actually very cheap. Of course, everything in front of you cannot be compared between the fairy world and the mortal world.
In the mortal world, the price of a puppet of this level would be at least several times higher, and it is still difficult to get hold of it.
Golden elixir monks are already powerful in the mortal world. As long as a sect has a few puppets like this, it can completely dominate an area.
Although the number of various raw materials in the fairy world is not necessarily greater than that in the mortal world, in a place with such strong spiritual energy, many raw materials are of very high grade.
This results in the price of raw materials being much cheaper, which increases the number of puppets in the market.
With mid- to high-grade raw materials in hand, even if the refining methods are lower, a low-level puppet master has a high chance of refining a higher-level puppet.
In order to refine a puppet, those machine puppet masters in the mortal world often make careful calculations and repeatedly deduce the refining process in their minds.
Only when you feel that you are more than 70% sure will you start refining it, but more often than not, it feels like a skillful woman cannot make a plan without straw.
After looking at this soft-looking female cultivator for a while, she just picked out a puppet.
Although Guan Junyi and Guan Man were disappointed, this was the biggest income today, and their faces were already full of smiles.
Guan Junyi quickly put away the spiritual stones on the stall. Although the dozens of middle-grade spiritual stones were not many, they were able to save some even though they were frugal.
Usually, the spiritual stones accumulated in this way in a year are enough to train the disciples in the village for a short period of time. This is also a process of accumulating little and making more.
And sometimes in a month, you can earn hundreds of spiritual stones a day, which is the biggest source of supplementary income.
Bai Rou immediately put the puppet away. She felt it was worth the dozens of mid-grade spiritual stones.
Then, they turned around and walked along the street with Li Yan towards the outside of Fangshi. They had already seen the shops in Fangshi here.
When I was finally ready to leave, I stopped by these temporary stalls to take a look. Now of course I have to continue on my way.
"Senior sister, I think the materials for this puppet are average, and the refining... can only be considered acceptable, but not as good as some puppets we have seen!"
Li Yan felt a little strange. Before turning around, he asked softly.
This kind of thing is actually the case, he won't be too shy about it, and he doesn't mean to belittle it deliberately.
"Well, that's true! But its refining method is a bit special, and I still find it interesting!"
Bai Rou said softly.
"Oh? Senior sister also thinks it's a good refining technique, let's talk about it!"
When Li Yan heard this, he immediately became interested. He also had a certain understanding of machine puppets.
Especially after communicating with Senior Sister Bai in the past few years, although his weapon refining level has not increased much, his knowledge has improved by leaps and bounds.
"Of course there is no problem with this, it's just a pity... If the material level of this puppet was higher, there would be no need to adjust anything and it would still be refined using this method.
It will make this puppet's grade rise straight up. With my current level, I can use all my strength to activate it. Only in this way can the true role of this puppet be brought into play, and the effect will be reflected..."
The two of them walked slowly further and further away.
But some words fell on the ears of Guan Junyi and Guan Man.
After hearing this, the two people's expressions couldn't help but change for a while. Not only did the other party understand it well, but he should also be a very strong puppet master.
Suddenly, Guan Junyi bypassed the stall, and although Guan Man behind him reacted a little slower, he already understood Guan Junyi's intention in the next moment.
The flower-like face suddenly lost its beauty, and then one toe quickly flew out, but she used her body skills.
Guan Junyi just wanted to catch up with Li Yan and the others who had just left, but he was also afraid that he would use his physical skills to chase them out and be misunderstood by Li Yan and the others in front of them, so he naturally ran normally.
So, as soon as he left the stall, his eyes blurred, and he was stopped directly in front by Guan Man.
"Brother Junyi, no!"
Guan Man did not speak this time, but used sound transmission to block it.
And she immediately looked towards the long street. Fortunately, those people hadn't noticed it yet. After all, those people still had many stalls to manage, and it was impossible to keep an eye on them.
"We are so short of spiritual stones now, I want to sell them the puppet that Uncle Tianxi gave me. You see, these two seniors are just passing by here.
Moreover, they know the art of puppetry very well. As soon as I take it out, they know the goods and will definitely buy it.
As long as I sell it secretly, and then when I go back, I will say that it was sold in the market today, and at least I can solve an urgent need!"
Guan Junyi couldn't help but said anxiously, he also transmitted the message quickly.
At this time, the man and woman walking in front also sensed the movement behind them. The two people had turned around and looked at them strangely.
