At this time, in the free trade zone of Binhaifang City, many casual cultivators who had returned from Limeng Island were setting up stalls here.
The stalls range from large to small, and they sell a wide variety of items, but most of them are ordinary items, and only some items unique to Limeng Island look surprising.
It is obviously impossible for these casual cultivators to own a shop in Binhaifang City, but fortunately, the Corpse Sect stipulates that as long as they pay a certain amount of spirit stones, they can sell items in a designated area, so these casual cultivators can also do some business.
, earn some spiritual stones.
Li Xuangang was in this free trade zone at this time. It was almost evening, so there were not many monks still looking for things here.
Although the market here was going to close in an hour or two, Li Xuangan was not in a hurry. He walked slowly, observing the things sold on the ground as he walked.
Behind him was a tall figure, which was Li Xuangang's corpse. But at this time, in order to cover it up a little, Li Xuangang put on a black robe.
After putting the corpse-refining hood on it, it would be difficult for others to detect its identity as a corpse-refiner if they didn't use their spiritual sense to detect it or pay attention.
Moreover, after the corpse refining reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, Li Xuangang did not continue to put it in the Nayin Gourd to cultivate it with evil spirit, because the evil spirit was no longer enough to meet the needs of corpse refining practice. If he wanted to continue to advance in the corpse refining, Li Xuangang needed to find it.
A higher quality substitute than evil spirit will do.
Li Xuangang's heart ached when he thought of this. Although things like corpse refining can be a powerful auxiliary for monks in martial arts fighting, they are also a bottomless pit that consumes spiritual stones.
Since his corpse was destined to be unable to be cultivated in a short period of time, he simply called it out and followed him at all times.
The purpose of Li Xuangang's doing this is naturally not for fun, but to deepen his mental connection with the corpse, and more importantly, to train himself in the skills of controlling the corpse.
Just like the disciples of the Corpse Ghost Sect who practice the art of corpse refining, they are always surrounded by several corpses.
...
Half an hour ago.
After Li Xuangang retreated from the cave, he immediately went to Baicao Pavilion. He wanted to see his eighth uncle Li Changji, but after he arrived, he was told by the tribesmen in Baicao Pavilion that his eighth uncle had started practicing in seclusion half a year ago, and they didn't know about him for a while.
When will it end.
However, he did not gain nothing. He learned from the tribesmen that the family's caravan had just arrived in Binhaifang City yesterday, and it should still be in the family's grain store. The leader was Li Xuangang's second uncle, Li Qingyang.
Li Xuangang originally came here to say goodbye to his eighth uncle. After all, he was approaching the two-year deadline given by the clan leader to return to the mountain, and he would have to set off back to Taiqiu Mountain in the near future.
Since it was not a coincidence, Li Xuangang did not stay in Baicao Pavilion for a long time and planned to go to the grain store to find the family's caravan.
However, before leaving, Li Xuangang still asked the tribesmen in Baicao Pavilion to say goodbye to him after his eighth uncle finished his training.
Then, Li Xuangang left Baicao Pavilion and walked towards the grain store where the family caravan was located.
However, he turned a corner from the street where Baicao Pavilion was located, and not far away, he came across the Free Trade Zone of Binhaifang City.
Although Li Xuangang has been coming to Binhaifang City for several years, he is always in a hurry, so this is the first time he has seen such a lively scene in the free trade zone.
Li Xuangang knew about the treasure ship trade between Binhaifang City and Limeng Island every four years, but every time he was in retreat, he missed it without exception. He didn't expect that when he was about to leave this time, he actually let himself catch up.
once.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuangang stepped into the free trade zone area, ready to go shopping and see what he needed.
Looking across the vendors on the ground one by one, Li Xuangang didn't find anything on them that made him excited. In fact, this was normal. Almost all the good things were in shops opened by various forces in Binhaifang City.
When Li Xuangang was about to walk out of the free trade zone, a stall set up by a casual cultivator from the fifth level of Qi Refining attracted his attention.
To be precise, it was the several ginseng plants placed on the stall that attracted him.
Seeing someone stopping in front of his stall, Liu Jin quickly stood up and greeted:
"I wonder what the two seniors are interested in?"
Li Xuangang squatted down and picked up a jade box. Inside the jade box was a spiritual ginseng that was protected by Haosheng. It had enough spiritual energy and should still survive after being replanted. It seemed that the other party had carefully preserved it.
Li Xuangang knew that the other party had mistakenly identified his corpse, but he did not expose it. Instead, while looking at the specific situation of the spiritual plant in the jade box in his hand, he asked:
"I wonder how you can sell this ginseng?"
Liu Jin felt a little strange when he saw that the monk shrouded in black robes ignored him, but Li Xuangang's words immediately diverted his attention from the body of the corpse.
"Senior, are you interested in these spiritual ginseng plants?"
"Please tell me a price. I am a spiritual planter. If your price is not too outrageous, I will have all three of them."
Hearing this, Liu Jin thought to himself that it was bad luck. The rhetoric he had prepared earlier was useless now. The two monks in front of him looked young and inexperienced.
But the young monk in front of him immediately revealed his identity as Ling Zhifu. He was obviously an expert, and I was afraid that the rhetoric he had prepared would not be able to deceive him.
"It turns out that the senior is a spiritual planter. No wonder he is so discerning. The three spiritual ginseng plants I brought back from Limeng Island. Since the senior is proficient in spiritual plantation, he probably knows whether the spiritual ginseng is a second-level elixir or a spiritual medicine.
The main material for refining Jade Shendan."
"And in our entire East China Sea region, cultivation is only possible on Limeng Island, so the price is naturally higher than other elixirs, so..."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuangang interrupted Liu Jin with a smile before he could tell him the price.
"Since I have revealed my identity as Ling Zhihu, is it a bit too much for fellow Taoist fellow Taoist to fool me like this?"
After saying that, Li Xuangang made no other moves. He just put the jade box containing the ginseng in his hand down again, his eyes wandered around the other items, and he shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Liu Jin confirmed that the other party's previous revelation that he was Ling Zhifu was not to scare him so that he could lower the price later. Judging from his demeanor, this person should be really proficient in this.
Liu Jin smiled awkwardly, and then said:
"Senior, don't be surprised. It's indeed young Meng Lang. You should also know that life is difficult for casual cultivators, so you have to be more careful."
Knowing that he could not deceive the other party today, Liu Jin quickly lowered his stance.
"If senior wants to buy it, I can make it cheaper. I just want to apologize to senior for my previous behavior."
After hearing this, Li Xuangang picked up the three ginseng plants and observed the year.
Then he said to Liu Jin.
"In that case, I will give you a fair price. Although your spiritual ginseng is a second-level elixir, it will take at least twenty years to be used as a refining material for the Jade Ginseng Pill. And what I just said
After some observation, your three spiritual ginseng plants are no more than three years old."
"A spiritual ginseng that is more than twenty years old is worth at least forty spiritual stones. You are a young ginseng that is only three years old. How about I give you twenty spiritual stones in total for the three plants?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he took another high look at Li Xuangang.
Spiritual ginseng grows very slowly. There is no difference in size between a twenty-year-old spiritual ginseng and a two- or three-year-old baby ginseng. In the past, I relied on this to fool many people. I classified a one- or two-year-old baby ginseng as follows.
The price of ginseng that is more than 20 years old is sold.
Unexpectedly, Li Xuangang actually directly told the specific year of his spiritual ginseng.
"Since seniors know the specific age of this spiritual ginseng, the price given is quite reasonable. If seniors want it, I naturally have no objection."
Seeing this, Li Xuangang took out twenty low-grade spiritual stones and handed them to Liu Jin. After putting the three spiritual ginseng seedlings into his storage bag, he left the freedom of casual cultivators with the corpse.
trade area.
...
Walking on the way to the family grain store, Li Xuangang tried his best to hide the smile on his face.
"To be able to find such a bargain, if not for the early days of my Qi refining, in order to better take care of the elixirs in the medicine garden, I carefully read the introductions about various spiritual plants in the family library.
Maybe I didn’t recognize this mutated fire ginseng.”
Among the three spiritual ginseng seedlings Li Xuangang bought, there was a mutant species of spiritual ginseng: Huo Lingshen.
Although fire ginseng and spiritual ginseng are of the same species, their values are very different.
Spiritual ginseng is mainly used to refine Jade Shendan, a second-level elixir taken by foundation-building monks, but fire ginseng is one of the five auxiliary elixirs used to refine foundation-building elixirs. It is of great value, although it does not have foundation-building elixirs.
The main elixir, Ghost Fruit, is so precious, but it is indeed much more precious than ordinary second-level elixirs.
When Li Xuangang passed by Liu Jin's stall, he noticed that one of the spiritual ginseng plants was a little different, so he squatted down and pretended to randomly take one of the three spiritual ginseng plants to observe, but in fact he was holding the right ginseng plant.
It's the spiritual ginseng that I feel is a little strange.
After Li Xuangang picked up the ginseng, he looked carefully and found a slight redness at the root of the main fibrous ginseng. This was the characteristic of the larvae of the ginseng.
The difference between fire ginseng and ordinary ginseng is huge, because fire ginseng is transparent red, like a piece of ruby, while ordinary ginseng is white and opaque. But this is only for ginseng that is more than ten years old.
That's why this difference occurs.
When the fire ginseng is young, it looks the same as the ordinary ginseng. Only the faint red color at the roots of the main fibrous can distinguish the two.
Very few people knew this information, and Li Xuangang happened to read this in a classic and remembered it.
Li Xuangang finally chose to buy the three ginseng plants together, naturally to avoid suspicion.
Finally, Li Xuangang, who found the fire ginseng, walked into his family's grain store with excitement.
I met my fifteenth brother Li Xuanshan, whom I had not seen for a long time.
