Chen Taizhong didn't bother to talk to the staff. After leaving the mission compound, he found an inn and stayed in. He chose the standard room of Five Spirits a Day.
He had only lived in a daily rented house with two rations a day before. He wanted to know what the difference was between five necessities a day and two necessities a day.
Facts told him that the difference was really big. The spiritual energy in the standard room of Five Spirits for one day was much stronger than that in the daily rental house. One day of cultivation there was as good as one and a half days of cultivation in the daily rental house.
In other words, three days of practicing in a rented house for six spirits is equivalent to two days of practicing in a standard room, but... it costs ten spirits.
Which one is more cost-effective? Of course, it is more cost-effective to practice in the standard room. Although it costs four more spirits, it saves a day.
For cultivators, time is the most useless—hundreds of years will pass by just meditating. But at the same time, time is also the most useful. You can live for two hundred years at the ninth level of a wandering immortal, and if you reach the level of a spiritual immortal, the skills
It's not a big problem, he can live at least three hundred years.
If you can upgrade to a higher level in the shortest possible time, spiritual stones are really not a problem.
So after trying for a day, he directly threw an orange spirit stone to the inn, which was a middle-grade spirit stone. "Register me for twenty days first, and I want to pass the test."
The inn didn't take it seriously. There were so many people coming here to clear the border, they just wanted to be left alone.
As for this guest who lives in 9303, he feels like he is not short of money. After checking into the room, he never leaves the house. Even his meals are delivered directly by the waiter.
During this period, the inn had a relatively violent spiritual energy fluctuation, which was about the level 4 Youxian impacting the fifth level. However, the spirit gathering array used in the inn covered all the rooms, so it did not attract much attention.
On the twentieth day, Chen Taizhong finally ended his retreat. He had successfully reached the peak of the third level. In comparison, the fourth level was not so easy to reach, and it was the intermediate level of Youxian.
He settled the bill. In addition to the 100 spirit stones for rent, he also spent more than 30 spirit stones for food. This was because he did not take the pills to boost his cultivation. This shows that practicing hard requires a huge amount of resources.
After leaving the inn, he went to the pawn shop first. Thirty days were coming soon.
The shopkeeper had long forgotten who this person was, but when he took the pawn ticket, a strange look appeared on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "May I ask, do you still have such spider silk...
?”
"Do you care about me?" Chen Taizhong glared at him. He was very unhappy with this person's previous low price. Now that he has money to redeem the pawn, he will not pay attention to this guy. "I'm here to redeem."
The shopkeeper curled his lips helplessly. After the people from Blood Sand Hou asked about this ball of spider silk, he also asked someone to identify it, and then he discovered that this inconspicuous white silk ribbon actually belonged to the famous Cleaning Spider.
Spider silk.
Nightmare spiders are also called cleaning spiders. Their presence in the ascension passage not only devours those who ascend, but can also effectively clean up some space debris, hence the nickname.
As mentioned before, this kind of spider silk has the power of space, so it is a strategic resource for medium-sized and above battles. A ball of spider silk has little effect, but it is also valuable.
Like the ball in the shopkeeper's hand, the market price is basically around one hundred spirit stones, but this thing is so rare that it has a price but no market. If someone really wants to sell it in the market, if he meets a sincere buyer, he can sell it for five
Bailing is not a problem either.
The spider silk that a nightmare spider can spit out is at least ten times larger than this ball, and it is normal to be twenty times larger.
At that time, the shopkeeper regretted it - he should have set the price of this ball of spider silk at fifty souls. If the other party was willing to redeem it, the pawnshop would make more money. If not, there would be no need to worry about selling this thing at a high price.
Now the owner came to redeem the property, and his tone was very bad. He could only complain that his eyesight was poor, and his attitude at that time was not polite enough.
Of course, he still wanted to give it a try, "Guest, if you still have this kind of spider silk, our pawn shop is willing to buy it at a high price."
"High price...how much does it cost?" Chen Taizhong frowned and asked aloud.
"It's just a bunch of... Thirty spirit stones," the price offered by the shopkeeper was not very honest, but this is normal. The other party was once so poor that he didn't even have two spirit stones, so he had to be the owner of the thing. At this time, he couldn't
Adding insult to injury, when will we wait?
Chen Taizhong didn't answer, handed the other party three spiritual stones, collected the small ball of spider silk, turned around and walked out the door.
The shopkeeper was still waiting for him to bargain, but when he saw the man turned around and walked away, he became a little anxious and said, "You are really serious about selling, the price can still be negotiated."
"I have no intention of selling it at all," Chen Taizhong replied without looking back, "I just asked about the price."
"Nah..." the shopkeeper muttered in anger, but to him, this was just a less successful business, although the guy's answer was really a bit irritating.
Then more people came in and out of the pawn shop. The next morning, a young man with a second-level immortality level entered the door, followed immediately by two middle-aged men with an eighth-level immortality level.
These two people were from the Zheng family of the Blood Sand Marquis. When they saw that the young man came in as a nuisance, they did not speak. After the young man left, they planned to leave - this is how they came here these days. As long as
If a first- or second-level Youxian enters the pawn shop, he should follow up and take a look.
The Zheng family is determined to get the Nightmare Spider.
The shopkeeper was not surprised. Anyway, he couldn't afford to offend the Blood Prince. Since they were just watching, he was too lazy to do anything. However, thinking about how annoying the young man was yesterday, he couldn't help but mutter, "Okay.
, No need to wait, they have already redeemed it."
"What did you say?" A middle-aged man with a dark face and long beard turned around, his eyes widened, and his aura was released involuntarily.
"This is my world pawnshop, please respect yourself," the shopkeeper's face sank, the world business alliance is not a soft persimmon to be rubbed.
"Okay, Old Thirty-Seven," another person patted the black-faced man on the shoulder, and then looked at the shopkeeper with an unkind expression, "You mean, the spider silk has been redeemed?"
"Yes," the shopkeeper nodded indifferently, "it was redeemed yesterday."
"Nah," the black-faced man became angry. He stepped forward and wanted to pull the other person's collar. The two of them had been guarding here for almost a month. Today, they were actually told that the spider silk was redeemed yesterday. Don't mention how many things they had in mind.
Angry - Are you kidding me?
But when his hand was halfway out, he controlled himself abruptly and just asked through gritted teeth, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said nothing. Do you need an explanation? The pawnshop in the world is for pawn items, not for selling information.
"Old Thirty-Seven," another middle-aged man stopped his family again, then looked at the shopkeeper and asked calmly, "I believe you still remember that person's appearance, right?"
"What if you remember it, but what if you don't remember it?" The shopkeeper's face showed no expression.
"If you remember, if you are willing to tell me, the Zheng family has its own thoughts," the man said, cupping his hand.
"It's a pity that I really don't remember," the shopkeeper sighed softly, but his eyes were rolling around.
"You," how could the black-faced man not see that this man was deliberately amusing himself? Flames started to rise on the ground.
But the shopkeeper didn't take this trick and kept to himself, "The World Business Alliance does business based on integrity and will not leak any information about its partners."
"Believe it or not, even if I beat you up, the World Business Alliance won't stand up for you?" The black-faced man finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Shut up!" His accomplice finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted sharply before asking again, "I believe that a down-and-out Youxian will not become a partner of the World Business Alliance. Is this what the shopkeeper means?"
The shopkeeper just smiled and didn't answer.
"Information on the owner of the Ten Spirits Purchaser," this person said simply, patting the storage bag and placing ten Spiritual Stones on the counter - Aren't you going to give up on the rabbit? I will give you the reward directly.
When the shopkeeper saw this, he stopped being pretentious and asked with a smile, "The clues for the Ascension Nightmare Spider... ten spirit stones are a bit too little, right?"
"How much do you want?" The man's face turned ugly. He was not surprised that the Nightmare Spider was recognized, but the other party pointed it out so obviously, so this matter is probably a bit tricky.
"Twenty souls," the shopkeeper opened his mouth. The Zheng family is not something to be insulted - the world business alliance is not afraid of the Blood Sand Marquis, but he is a small shopkeeper, how can he have the courage? He earns ten more souls
, can be satisfied.
"Deal," the man nodded and took out ten more spiritual stones. "Tell me, what does that person look like..."
After listening, the dark-faced man narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, "We have been observing people coming in and out of the pawn shop recently, and we didn't find the person you mentioned... Twenty spirits is not much, but it deceived the Zheng family.
You also need to have a life flower."
"It's actually quite easy to disappear alone," his companion echoed.
The two of them have been working together for a long time, and one has always been a good person and the other a bad person.
"This man has already reached the third level of Youxian. He has gone from the first level to the third level of Youxian in one month," the shopkeeper replied lazily. "You only focus on the first and second level of Youxian, so naturally you won't pay attention to him...
If I were you, I would pay more attention to the owner."
In one month, from the first level of Youxian to the third level? When the two heard this, they looked at each other and saw a look of disbelief in each other's eyes.
In fact, they had assumed that this person might be able to successfully pass the test, so they were not only keeping an eye on the first-level immortals, but also the second-level immortals. But to say they were upgraded to two levels in a month... Are you kidding me?
"You didn't kill someone and wanted to keep this thing for yourself, right?" Such offending words were said by the black-faced man, who looked at the other person suspiciously.
The shopkeeper smiled and didn't say much.
"Let's go." Another person pulled the black-faced man - at this time, he was entangled in such a trivial matter, and he would lose the people of Xue Shahou.
