Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 72 Conflict
Back to Fangshi.

In order to see what he could gain from this trip, Lu Zhong made a special trip to a buying house.

"Is there something to appraise? The fee is one spirit stone each time. If you sell the item to us, it's waived. Fellow Daoists accept it?" Chao Feng behind the counter stretched his waist and yawned.

Lu Zhong nodded when he heard that the price was similar to the market price.

With a wave of his hand, he put the thing to be identified on the counter.

"This is a five-year-old red cornus. Our purchase price is six spirit stones." Chao Feng raised the pair of crystal mirrors that shone with spiritual light, and began to identify them one by one, "This rusty iron One piece, ninety percent fine iron mixed with ten percent spiritual iron, should be a fragment of some kind of low-grade magic weapon, corroded to this extent. My evaluation is useless."

Picking up the black stone again, surprise appeared on his face.

"Huh, it's Mo Jingtie?"

"I picked this thing up in the south, is there something wrong with it?" Lu Zhong asked curiously.

"No, no problem, I just remembered some things from the past." Chao Feng put down the black crystal iron in his hand, and said with emotion: "I think on the first day I entered the industry, the first appraisal object I encountered was this kind of ink. Crystal iron, I never expected to meet this precious spiritual iron again after so many years."

Reducing the look of nostalgia on his face, Chao Feng continued with a smile: "As for the purchase price of Mo Jingtie, we can only give a purchase price of [-] spirit stones. If you are not satisfied with this price, You can sell it to the refining workshop on the Seventh Ring Road, this kind of spiritual iron is very useful, and you can also entrust them to refine it into a magic weapon."

"Thank you." Lu Zhong cupped his hands.

Since the other party was so kind, he naturally wanted to show something, so he sold the red cornus here.

The purchase price of the red cornus was six spirit stones, minus the appraisal fee for the rusty iron sheet and black crystal iron, and in the end Lu Zhong got a total of four spirit stones, which was actually higher than his usual income from making talismans.

"Isn't this too high?" Lu Zhong exclaimed.

He couldn't imagine how much profit he would get when he went out to hunt for spirits after he had trained the spirit-seeking mice well.

With such a terrific talent for making money, it's no wonder the spirit mouse has such a reputation.

"Be careful." Lu Zhong secretly raised his vigilance.

He didn't want to be found out that he was pregnant with a spirit mouse, and then he would be approached by a lot of trouble.

Go straight down along the winding mountain road, and soon come to the workshop area full of charcoal fire.

Different from the Central Third Ring Road, not only the air here is obviously dirty, there is also a thick layer of white fly ash on the buildings.

Walking through the low-rise shanty town next to the workshop, you can hear quarrels from inside from time to time. The content of the quarrels is all related to Lingshi. They are either complaining about spending money too much, or scolding the moon for less money.

Occasionally, I can hear a few heavy sighs, worrying about the next month's rent that cannot be paid.

The only thing that can be called hopeful here are the children running around in the streets.

Although they are all dirty and wear ordinary clothes that have been washed until they turn white, there is still innocence in their eyes. When they see Lu Zhongchao, they will look cowardly, but they will respond with the etiquette taught by adults .

Lu Zhong smiled and nodded at them, and continued to walk towards the refining workshop.

At this time, a monk came out from the side alley.

He was wearing a wrinkled cotton coat, with his head bowed as if walking in a hurry.

When passing by Lu Zhong, a pair of fine tweezers slipped out of the man's hand, and along with the swing of his arms, it reached Lu Zhong's waist naturally, and the target was the exposed storage bag.

Needless to say, this must be a pickpocket.

If it was someone else, maybe he would succeed.

It's a pity that this person met Lu Zhong today. He had just raised his vigilance because of hunting for spirit rats, but he had been using qi-watching skills along the way, and he had already discovered that something was wrong with this person.

The other party hid behind the corner, peeping at what he thought was very secret, but was fully exposed in the vision of the qi-watching technique.

By the way, Lu Zhong also passed a malicious detection, and there was a warning sign in his heart.

Naturally, there was nothing to say after that, and a blue sword shadow passed by.

"Ah!" a scream.

The palm of the pickpocket's left hand was severed at the root, and blood gushed out like a spring.

The Chi Yangfa sword in his hand slowly dissipated, and Lu Zhong, who had slightly punished him, gave this person a cold look, and continued to walk towards the refining workshop.

But he never thought that after walking a few steps, he would be surrounded by three people.

According to the results of the qi-watching technique, there are two early-stage Qi-refining monks among the three, the thin and tall one is at the third level of Qi-refining, and the stout one is at the second-level of Qi-refining.

The head of the big man with tattoos, his cultivation base is the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The above is the judgment made by Lu Zhong based on experience.

"Why, are you with him?"

Surrounded by the three of them, the expression on his face didn't change at all, but instead he questioned the big man with tattooed face.

"Of course, he's our brother!" The tattooed man looked at the cassock on Lu Zhong's body with a smile on his face, and continued: "Master Lu Fu, we know you are rich, but now you have abolished my brother." Should I also pay for soup and medicine? You see, he won't be able to come out to do things in the future."

"Yes, yes..." The ashen-faced pickpocket trembled when he heard these words.

"Heh, what if I say no?" Lu Zhong sneered.

He knew what the tattooed man was thinking, and he probably thought that the talisman makers were soft bastards with extremely weak fighting skills, who could be manipulated by himself at will, hoping to make a fortune by doing so.

It's a pity that the other party is about to miscalculate this time.

Although I don't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean that I will be afraid of trouble.

"In that case, Master Lu Fu, you won't be able to get out of this street." The tattooed man's words were threatening, and there was a faint flash of spiritual light in his sleeves, and the implied meaning was self-evident.

Seeing that the atmosphere has become tense, the two sides are ready to fight.

Just at this moment, a soft shout came from the front.

"stop!"

After hearing this, Lu Zhong thought, isn't this Huang Shuyuan's voice?
Looking up, it turned out that Huang Shuyuan was leading a group of people on the other side of the street, walking towards this side.

"Mr. Mo, what do you mean?" Huang Shuyuan asked coldly.

The big man with tattoos, known as Mo Lao San, glanced at the group of people following Huang Shuyuan, then at Huang Shuyuan who was leading them, stretched out his hands hidden in his sleeves, and lazily replied:
"Nothing interesting, just come and have a look."

After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Lu Zhong, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his eyes.

Immediately waved his hand and led people away.

"Strange, how could Lu Daoyou conflict with him?"

Huang Shuyuan looked at the departing Mo Laosan with a puzzled look on her face.

But now is not the time to talk about this, she signaled Lu Zhong to wait a moment, then turned to look at the group of people behind her, "Okay, according to what I just said, come and collect the money one by one."

Five talismans per person on the first floor of qi refining, ten talismans per person on the second floor of qi refining, and [-] talismans per person on the third floor of qi refining.

In this way, Huang Shuyuan sent out a total of two knife money.

Lu Zhong saw it in his eyes and didn't speak, but secretly remembered it in his heart.
