Chapter 20 Visiting the Market

Yulingfang City, Qin Wenzhai.

Jiang Qiong stayed in the inner courtyard, reading the jade slips given by the shopkeeper while operating the supporting papermaking equipment to make paper for books.

But after all, it was his first time making paper. His lack of experience and unfamiliar techniques resulted in the books and paper produced having flaws, such as wrinkles, small holes, or different thicknesses.

"After working for a long time, all I made was waste paper. I still need to practice for a while."

Jiang Qiong tidied up the inner courtyard and quickly cleaned up the remains of the monsters he had killed. His experience points increased by 21 points.

After being busy for so long, in addition to making paper, he also killed all the little monsters imprisoned and restrained in the inner courtyard.

But the experience points were not piled on papermaking and jade slip craftsmanship.

It is best to practice these two skills slowly by yourself, otherwise your proficiency will increase too quickly and it will easily attract the attention of the study manager.

Walk out of the inner courtyard.

Jiang Qiong returned to the study and did not see Bai Meiyan again. It seemed that she had left early.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, how is the effect of papermaking?"

The shopkeeper asked with a smile while keeping accounts.

"What was made is all waste paper." Jiang Qiong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It was a waste of some materials in the study."

As he spoke, he took out the pages of the book he made and asked the shopkeeper to point out some problems.

"It's just some worthless materials, don't worry about it." The shopkeeper smiled and glanced at the pages of the book in Jiang Qiong's hand and said, "These pages only have some minor flaws."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang has a good understanding, but it is really amazing that he was able to produce such an effect on the first day of making paper."

"After getting familiar with it for a while, I think I can easily create book pages and jade slips."

The shopkeeper smiled and then said some things that need to be paid attention to in papermaking and some areas that need improvement.

When the shopkeeper of the study finished speaking, Jiang Qiong thanked him. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, it was already Unitary hour, so he did not stay in the study for too long.

The spiritual contract he signed stipulated that he would be on duty for five hours every day, from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the evening, with two days off for bathing every ten days.

Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Jiang Qiong turned and left.

Walking along the street, Jiang Qiong walked around the market, focusing on the casual cultivators setting up stalls on both sides of the street.

These casual cultivators sell all kinds of rare spiritual objects, or exotic insects and herbs; or incomplete scrolls, jade slips; or various bottles and jars; or dilapidated magical instruments, etc.;

"There are more than 300 casual cultivators setting up stalls in several streets, and more than 40 are selling magical artifacts."

"There is a spiritual sword magic weapon sold by a casual cultivator. It looks brand new on the surface, but there are some problems with the internal markings."

"Go over and take a closer look later."

Jiang Qiong wandered around a few streets, selecting the broken magic weapon that she liked, and planned to buy it back at a low price to repair it.

But before that, you need to buy a magic weapon to cover your whereabouts, so as not to do it too often and attract the attention of interested people.

Jiang Qiong walked for a while and came to Yulingzong's treasure-selling pavilion. She walked straight in, found the steward inside, and sold the five bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills in the storage bag.

Purchasing magical weapons requires capital, but Jiang Qiong doesn't have enough spiritual stones in his bag, so he needs to sell some spiritual objects.

However, he had little need for the Qi Nourishing Pill, so he chose to sell it and get fifteen spiritual stones.

In addition to the spiritual stones exchanged for the hunting team's contribution points and the salary from the study, he now holds twenty-four spiritual stones and thirty-four spiritual crystals.

"I want to buy a magic weapon that can restrain my breath and change my appearance. I wonder if the manager can recommend it?"

Jiang Qiong finished selling the elixirs and asked the steward.

"The needs of the guest officials can be met by dozens of magical artifacts in the pavilion. The specific information is in this jade slip."

The steward took out a jade slip and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please take your time to choose." Jiang Qiong used his spiritual consciousness to scan the jade slip, and information about a bunch of magic weapons appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness. Influential magic weapon.

I carefully selected for a while.

Jiang Qiong took a fancy to a mask as thin as a cicada's wings. It was a first-level mid-grade magic weapon. Although the grade was high, it could only change its appearance and restrain its aura, so the price was low, only sixteen A spiritual stone.

This magical weapon is paired with the "Bone Shrinking Strength" that has just been secretly learned. Under the disguise, even a monk in the middle stage of Qi training can hardly detect the clues.

Once you secretly learn the "Breathe Concentration Technique" in the study, your own aura will be double-masked, and it will be completely restrained. When the time comes, you will be able to break through the realm and be more arrogant.

"I bought this cicada mask."

Jiang Qiong took out the spiritual stone and bought the magic weapon. It felt like a thin cicada wing, and it felt a little cold on his face.

As his mind turned, his breath converged and his face changed in the next moment. He looked like a monk with an ordinary face, inconspicuous among the crowd.

After looking at the ancient mirror in the pavilion for a while, Jiang Qiong was very satisfied with the effect of the magic weapon.

Leave the Yuling Sect's treasure-selling pavilion.

Jiang Qiong walked on the street wearing a magic weapon mask. He piled all the experience points gained in the study on "Shrinking Bone Strength", and his proficiency continued to increase.

The remaining quarter of an hour.

Jiang Qiong ran around in the market, using magic weapons and bone-shrinking power to change her face and body shape several times to restrain her aura.

In the end, he looked like a middle-aged monk in his thirties, with a sallow face and an ordinary temperament.

Finish these.

Jiang Qiong took a detour back to the stall of a casual cultivator.

There was a long sword in this stall that had some problems with its internal markings, but it looked brand new on the surface, which had attracted Jiang Qiong’s attention earlier.

Now, come here specifically to take a look.

"Sir, what are you buying? What I sell here are all high-quality spiritual items, no less inferior to those of major treasure-selling pavilions. The prices are affordable and I never rip off customers."

The stall owner is a shrewd-looking middle-aged man with a smile on his face when entertaining customers.

"Let me take a look first." Jiang Qiong glanced at the items on the stall, pretending to select, and sometimes holding some jade slips or bottles in his hands to look at them.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a small drum magic weapon, carefully scanned it several times with his spiritual consciousness, and said: "This first-level low-grade magic weapon is well cast, and the various materials are smelted just right."

"The five internal patterns are criss-crossed, including the 'Sound Wave' pattern and the 'Disturbing' pattern. It seems to be a magic weapon that affects the mind."

"Your Majesty, you have a good eye." The stall owner complimented and said, "This magical weapon was cast by Master Chen Jiachai. Its effect can affect the minds of most monks in the early stages of Qi training. It only requires thirty-two spiritual stones. ,Reasonable price."

Jiang Qiong put down the small drum instrument, picked up the long sword instrument next to it, and carefully explored the internal patterns with her spiritual sense.

He found that most of the patterns inside had problems, either with traces of flames burning, making the patterns shorter, or with cracks, which made the sword less sharp.

If you sell a damaged magic weapon of this level to any major treasure shop or weapon refining shop, you will not be able to buy more than three spiritual stones.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Qiong withdrew his spiritual consciousness and asked casually, "What is the price of this magic weapon?"

"My guest has good taste. This first-grade low-grade magic weapon is the ancestral magic weapon of my close friend. It is rumored that the casting material is purple-grained iron gold, and there are more than twenty weapon patterns inside."

The stall owner was about to brag about the long sword weapon, but suddenly he remembered that Jiang Qiong had just easily seen the material and pattern composition of the small drum weapon. He was most likely a monk who was an expert in weapon refining and would not be easily deceived.

After thinking about his words for a moment, the stall owner stopped exaggerating, but in the end he hesitated and gritted his teeth and tried: "The only pity is that my best friend often used this magic weapon to fight during his lifetime, so there may be some internal damage."

"Let's do this. Twelve spiritual stones and this magical weapon will be sold to fellow Taoists."
