Cultivation starts from changing jobs to druids

Chapter 2 Small Ice Talisman
"First check whether I can travel back."

Chen An thought of this immediately and quickly checked.

He sensed it carefully and felt relieved again.

He could feel that inexplicable suction still around him.

As long as he lets go of the control over his body, he can travel back to that fantasy world he named "Dark World" at any time.

The reason seems to be because of a mysterious bead that suddenly appeared in Chen An's consciousness.

Just when he was thinking about the reason for the time travel, the image of a light blue bead suddenly flashed in his consciousness.

When Chen An was concentrating on the visualization, the image of the beads immediately became more concrete in his consciousness.

The bead is about the size of a fist, and it is translucent as a whole, with countless rapidly changing scenes like clouds and smoke inside.

If you look closely, you can find that the cloud-like changing scene is a myriad of small worlds that arise and disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Isn't this a prop in the word game I played while hanging up the phone when I was working overtime?"

Chen An thought for a moment, found the relevant fragments from his memory, and immediately said in surprise.

When he was working overtime, because he was bored, a small text adventure game with the heavens as the background was always hanging in the background.

And this light blue bead is the prop "Mountain and Sea Pearl" in the game.

The main function is to provide a reasonable background for the game characters to travel through the world.

But when this bead appears in reality, its meaning is completely different.

"Could it be that I can travel to other worlds in the future?" Chen An immediately thought of this.

Words such as "trade between the two worlds" and "complementary advantages" immediately filled his mind.

Combined with the previous fantasy of "a promising future", he couldn't help but be excited.

However, after a while, after all, Chen An's usual cautious disposition regained the upper hand in Chen An's heart.

"Calm down, calm down." He recited the Heart-Cleaning Mantra silently twice and began to organize his thoughts again.

He has not forgotten that his current identity is just a small shrimp in the Xiji Immortal Realm of the Immortal Cultivation World.

While the future looks promising, those futures are just bubble phantoms that never materialize.

He had seen a lot of examples of starting a good hand but playing poorly in his previous life, Blue Star.

Now that he has a promising future, he must be more cautious and plan every move he makes.

"The Western Wilderness Forest is still too dangerous to be my Druid practice sanctuary."

He thought for a while, but regretfully gave up the idea of ​​cultivating in the West Wilderness Forest.

"Although it is said that Druids are favored by nature and are natural friends of animals. But one day the animals have a whim and think that my friend is delicious, and it is not impossible to have a taste. After all, the flesh and blood of a cultivator It is a great supplement for monsters."

Chen Anjing calmed down, and his senses were a little more sensitive than usual. He immediately heard the shrill roar of an unknown monster coming from the depths of the Western Wilderness Forest, and he suddenly felt a little creepy.

He hurriedly ran the Evergreen Technique twice to ensure that the Yimu essence he had just received could be preserved until he could refine it carefully, and then he quickly stood up and decided to leave this place.

"If you want to take your immortal journey further, then you must use the power of the otherworldly druid."

"In a place as sparsely populated and rich in aura as the West Immortal Realm, it shouldn't be difficult to build a druid practice sanctuary. The problem now is that I am on a journey to obtain follow-up druid practice resources in another world. It is full of risks. The most urgent thing is to go to Fangshi to buy some talismans and magic tools for self-defense."

Thinking of what he saw and heard in the dark world, and the miserable situation of the kingdom soldiers he saw before, Chen An immediately felt a lot heavier in his heart, and silently accelerated his pace.

A moment later, at the edge of the West Desolate Forest in the Western Immortal Territory, Qinghefang.

As Chen An approached, more than a dozen towering pavilions built from ancient trees gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

These dozen or so pavilions are all big companies with names and surnames. Together with the hundreds of small stalls covering the streets between the pavilions, they together form the most prosperous market for immortal cultivators on the edge of the West Wilderness Forest.

Outside the pavilion, there were layers of clouds and mist, and members of the law enforcement team holding magical weapons came and went from time to time. Chen An heard that the clouds and mist were some kind of defensive formation, and they could block even the intruders from the foundation building overhaul.Therefore, in Qinghefang, there has never been heard of vicious incidents of killing people and seizing treasures.

In Qinghefang, Chen An didn't have to worry about his own safety.

"It's just...why are there so many people coming to Qinghefang today?"

He squeezed into the queue to enter Qinghefang, secretly surprised in his heart.

He guessed that something big happened around Qinghefang during the time he went to the dark world.

Although Qinghefang is bustling on weekdays, it is rare to see people queuing up to enter like today.

It was as if all the monks within a hundred li had agreed to enter Qinghefang together today.

The team slowly squirmed, and with the rustling movement, it was finally Chen An's turn.

"The entrance fee is one spirit crystal." The member of the law enforcement team glanced at it and said expressionlessly.

Chen An fumbled around in his arms for a while, then took out a token and handed it over.

The person standing behind him didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't expect that the member of the law enforcement team turned sideways and let Chen An enter the city after seeing the token. He immediately widened his eyes, trying to see clearly what the token was.

All of a sudden, a group of poor casual cultivators lined up behind him also looked at him sideways, wondering which noble family this simple-dressed boy was, and he was able to enter the market without paying the entrance fee.

"Ashamed, saving one spirit crystal is a spirit crystal." Chen An secretly sighed.

The Sima family who hired him as a spiritual farmer and Sima Wang, one of the three foundation builders in charge of Qinghefang, are distant relatives of the family. Although the two families do not communicate often, the Sima family has never borrowed Sima Wang's favor .The only advantage is that when members of the Sima family enter Qinghe Fang with this token, they don't have to pay the entrance fee for that spirit crystal.

A spirit crystal is naturally nothing to the Sima family who owns a hundred acres of spiritual fields.

But for the little spiritual farmer Chen An, saving one spirit crystal was enough for him to be secretly happy for a long time.

After Chen An entered Fangshi, he looked around and confirmed his previous thoughts even more.

Something big must have happened in Qinghefang within a few days of his departure.

In the past, the sparse crowds walking on both sides of the street now filled the entire street.

There are all kinds of monks, men, women and children, some with white hair and childlike face, carrying a huge green gourd on their backs, some as rich as jade, carrying a three-foot sharp sword on their backs, or wearing white veils, showing a little bit of coquettishness in every frown and smile. There are so many people, it can really be regarded as a flow of people.

The number of stalls on the street has skyrocketed, and they have crossed the road and occupied the space of pedestrians.

Chen An had to brace himself and stand on tiptoe to avoid stepping on the stalls of those stall owners who looked untouchable at first glance.

He wandered around for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a booth selling magical artifacts.

"What is the price of this set of willow leaf darts?" Chen An asked.

The stall owner has a strong figure, his face is wrapped in black cloth, and there seems to be a trace of evil spirit around him.

The originally crowded booths suddenly became sparse around him, and they were separated from him by an arm's length.

Chen An saw some magic weapons on the stall in front of him, which even had uncleaned dried blood stains on them. Looking at the posture of the stall owner, he immediately felt shocked.

However, there are six willow-leaf darts in this group, and the whole body exudes an obscure aura. At first glance, it looks like the kind of simple and easy-to-use objects that can be stimulated quickly and save mana. He is really reluctant to ask the price and just miss it. Bite the bullet and ask the price.

"Twenty low-grade spirit stones." The stall owner glanced at Chen An's attire and said impatiently.

"Twenty pieces?" Chen An was stunned to himself, his fiery heart immediately cooled down.

Twenty low-grade spirit stones, even if he sold all his belongings, he still couldn't make up the number.

He still refused to give up and looked at a small flying nail magic weapon beside him, and asked:
"Then how much is this?"

"Two low-grade spirit stones."

"This." Chen An suddenly became distressed.

He touched all the belongings in his arms, and he only had two low-grade spirit stones in total.

If these two spiritual stones were all used to buy this flying nail, his life in the future would be a problem.

"Can it be cheaper? I'm really short of money." He said bravely.

"This shop doesn't bargain. If you don't buy it, don't block the way to hinder a certain business." The stall owner glared.

"Farewell." At this point, Chen An could only sigh and left the booth.

He walked a few steps, and when he looked back, he found that the stall owner seemed to have sold the Willow Leaf Dart.

Willow Leaf Darts and Flying Nails are simple and easy-to-use low-grade magic weapons that can be directly activated by using the imperial art, and they really don't have to worry about selling them. It's no wonder that the stall owner didn't intend to bargain at all, Chen An sighed.

He went around and walked around a few times, and stopped in front of a popular stall.

In a stall surrounded by about ten people, nearly a hundred talismans were placed on a yellow cloth, ranging from the most basic cleansing talisman and guiding talisman to the slightly more advanced fire talisman and ice talisman. As a treasure for the stall, It was a small five-thunder talisman placed in the center of the stall. Many monks could not hide their jealousy when they saw this talisman.

From a distance, the stall owner greeted Chen An when he saw him.

"Little friend Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days. Is there any talisman that caught my eye this time?"

Chen An was slightly surprised when his name was called out:

"I just had a few words with this Talisman Master Xu when I came to Fangshi before. I didn't expect that he would still remember me after half a month's absence. With such exquisite thoughts, coupled with his craftsmanship in making talismans, it's no wonder that he can advance every day. Gold." He thought to himself.

The stall owner's surname is Xu, and the guests respectfully call him "Master Xu Fu".

Master Xu Talisman looks like a skinny old Taoist, and has a fairy-like demeanor when he is calm. But at the moment, he is bargaining with customers while bragging about the effectiveness of his talismans, and at the same time greeting new customers passing by from north to south. Everything is done. Don't fall behind, showing off the charm of a smooth and smooth businessman.

Chen An originally intended to choose talismans, and now he carefully selected them at the booth.

But after a moment, his expression fell: "How come the price of this talisman has also increased by [-]%."

But looking at the speed at which the talismans were cleared from the stall, and the uncontrollable happy smile that Master Xu occasionally showed, he knew that the price increase had not affected the sales of the talismans at all.Master Xu Fu has definitely made a lot of money recently.

For a moment, he was filled with annoyance: "Is it possible that all the monks in Qinghefang have suddenly become rich?"

At least one talisman sells a few or even a dozen spirit crystals, and it takes a long time for casual cultivators to buy talismans on weekdays. How come the past casual cultivators are so generous today.

After observing for a while without giving up, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Why does no one care about this little ice talisman?"

He just stared at the little ice talisman for a few seconds, but the sharp-eyed Talisman Master Xu saw it.

"Chen Xiaoyou wants to buy this little ice talisman? In the past, the little ice talisman was worth three spirit crystals, but if you buy three in one go, I will only charge you eight spirit crystals, okay?"

Chen An was a little moved, but he was still carefully considering the gains and losses.

Seeing that he was a little agitated, Master Xu Fu quickly added more fuel:
"To be honest, there is an ancient pure yang restriction in the secret realm of Qingmang Mountain that was born recently, and the power of the small ice talisman is limited, so I, the old way, sold it at a discount. Otherwise, now that the secret realm is born, it is suddenly revealed that there are ancient exercises and magic spells in it. The news of foundation-building spirits has attracted countless casual cultivators to enter the secret realm to hunt for treasures, and now the prices of pills and talismans that can increase combat power in a short period of time are skyrocketing, and there is no reason to sell them at a discount."

Master Xu Fu thought that everyone knew that the secret realm of Qingmang Mountain was born, but unexpectedly he accidentally awakened Chen An.

All the strange things he encountered along the way immediately connected in his mind.

No wonder Qinghefang has been crowded with people recently, and there are almost [-]% more magic weapons on the market.

You know, that is a foundation-building spiritual object, a treasure that can greatly increase the chance of foundation-building!

Treasures like the Foundation Establishment Pill are firmly held in the hands of aristocratic families.

Ordinary casual cultivators can only risk their lives if they want to build a foundation. If they fail to build a foundation, they will face the risk of death.

Now that the possibility of foundation building is right in front of us, those casual cultivators who are approaching the end of their lifespan cannot help but go crazy.

There are even elderly monks who are ready to be martyred, only fighting for the future of their promising grandson.

Thinking of the scene where everyone was like a demon in the secret realm, Chen An couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

"Fortunately, I don't have to enter the secret realm to take risks." He secretly rejoiced.

Now that he has an entire different world as his foundation, why would he take such risks to fight with others to the death?

"I'm going to buy another golden mask talisman, can you give me another spirit crystal?" He asked cautiously.

Xu Fushi paused when he heard the words, obviously calculating the cost in his mind, he saw Chen An's young face, and just wanted to bargain again, but the booth was crowded with more and more people, and the words were all bargaining veteran.

All of a sudden, there were voices of haggling and bargaining in all directions. Master Xu Fu immediately opened fire, and the bargaining became red-eyed. Naturally, he couldn't care about a small shrimp like Chen An.He quickly waved his hand, just begging Chen An not to disturb his next big order:
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a spirit crystal, take it away."

If it were in the past, Master Xu Fu might not even let go of the little shrimps.

But now that the market is too hot, selling one more talisman means that there are more spiritual stones to buy talisman skins and pens, and then to refine more talismans, and the profit will be converted into more spiritual stones.

Chen An's small profit is now nothing compared to the time and cost in Xu Fushi's eyes.

Chen An got an advantage and immediately threw out more than a dozen spiritual crystals, put three small ice talismans and a golden light shield talisman in his arms, then got into the crowd and disappeared into the crowd like a swimming fish.

"Three small ice talismans and a low-grade golden mask talisman saved a total of two spirit crystals, and the entrance fee saved one spirit crystal. When buying Lingmi later, you can mix Lingmi and Fanmi. Maybe I can save another spirit crystal, and I will probably have a surplus of four spirit crystals." Chen An quickly walked through the crowd, thinking about it.

After a year of hard work as a spiritual farmer, he could only save three low-grade spirit stones, that is, thirty spirit crystals. He was able to save four spirit crystals at once, which made him feel a little bit more happy for a while.

Moreover, a bold conjecture came into his mind just now.

If his conjecture is true, then these four spirit crystals can be of great use.

The pavilion with the "Baoheng Ji" plaque in the distance gradually came closer, and Chen An's eyes immediately lit up.

He took two hurried steps forward and gently crossed the threshold of Bao Heng Ji.

Bao Hang Kee is a bank that exchanges spirit stones and gold, but it implements the auction system.

Cultivators send gold or spirit stones for auction by themselves and set their own prices. Bao Hang Ji only charges a handling fee.

As for why they don't directly provide spiritual stone and gold exchange services like the banks in the previous life, but send them for auction.The reason... you can tell by looking at the length of the two teams, Chen An thought.

There are two windows in Baohengji, one for sending gold and one for sending spiritual stones.

There was a long queue in front of the window where the gold was exchanged for spirit stones. Because of the lack of space in the hall, the queue even made several turns. The monks who lined up carefully huddled in the queue, for fear that the vacant seat would be snatched by the bastard who came out of nowhere. .

The window for exchanging spiritual stones for gold was crowded with people at the door. When Chen An entered, the only monk who was ready to exchange spiritual stones for gold happened to go out.

If Bao Heng Ji dares to say that its own bank can exchange gold for spirit stones indefinitely, no matter how high the exchange rate is, within a long time, Bao Heng Ji's threshold will be broken by a group of monks who heard the news, and then because of the shortage of spirit stones And closed down.

Gold is completely useless to monks.

Any monk who goes to the mortal world can experience the treatment worth a thousand dollars.

Only spirit stones that can be used to arrange formations or for other cultivation purposes are the hard currency in the world of immortality.

One spiritual crystal can definitely be exchanged for ten pounds of gold, but twenty pounds of gold may not be exchanged for one spiritual crystal.

"But this is great news for me." Chen An secretly clenched his fists and said excitedly.

If what Master Xu Fu said is true, with the recent emergence of the secret realm, the prices of items such as elixirs, talismans and magic weapons that can enhance combat power have skyrocketed, then the demand for spiritual stones among monks must have increased greatly.

The long queue in front of the Lingshi window in front of him has already verified this point.

"Then correspondingly, the influx of a large amount of gold will inevitably cause the depreciation of gold!"

Thinking of this, Chen An took a few steps forward and asked:
"Is there any order to send gold for auction recently?"

Seeing the rare guest, the guy who was worried about whether he would be fired also cheered up and said repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, of course, there are many such lists. Please take a look, distinguished guest."

Seeing that the business finally came, the spirited buddy was extremely quick to do things.

After a while, Chen An had already exchanged the four spirit crystals for eighty catties of gold.

Because there was no storage bag, he could only leave half-carrying the heavy gold nuggets.

Seeing this scene that was enough to drive any mortal mad, all the monks just looked strange and muttered to themselves.

A few masked people outside the bank who had been wandering around with flickering eyes also sneered, shook their heads, and looked away from Chen An.

However, as everyone knows, Chen An, who embraces gold, can't wait to laugh three times.

His guess was indeed correct. The exchange ratio of spiritual crystals to gold changed from 1:10 to 1:20.

Originally, saving four spiritual crystals was just a blessing for ordinary people in the city, but now...

"The four spiritual crystals I save will all become a strong capital for me to recruit troops in other worlds."

Chen An was still having a headache before, because his assets were like water without roots.

How can I set up my own property in a different world when my eyes are smeared.

And when the time comes, the matter of purchasing property will inevitably affect his cultivation time.

But now, the rootless water of his wealth has connected to the boundless sea of ​​gold in the world of cultivating immortals.

The income from buying properties is nothing compared to the huge profits from the trade between the two worlds!
And this also means that Baron Andrew, who uses money to get ahead, is back!
