Immortality cultivation starts from Dongxuan Lake

Chapter 30 Paper Man

After hearing what Shopkeeper Feng said, Lu Ming was greatly disappointed.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he heard the voice of shopkeeper Feng: "Wait a minute."

"Why, does Shopkeeper Feng have any other advice?" Lu Ming narrowed his eyes and was secretly on guard.

"Haha, fellow Taoist, if there is spiritual blood of this quality or monster furs and claws in the future, they can be sold to Tianluo Tower. Such long-lasting spiritual objects, Tianluo Tower always purchases them at the market price."

Hearing this, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out it was for the materials.

Naturally, a monster beast not only has spiritual blood available, but also has fur, claws, and teeth that can be used as materials for refining weapons. Moreover, the fur, bones, and teeth can be preserved for a very long time, unlike monster meat, which has a short storage time.

After leaving Tianluo Tower, he walked around the market several times, and then went to the Zhaojia Talisman Store to inquire with Shopkeeper Xiao before Lu Ming returned to Liuyun Street.

Prices in the market are still low, so if you don't have amulets, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell them.

It is obvious that the influence of the Gongsun family has not been eliminated.

This is especially true if the veins are not mined.

While Lu Ming was curious, he couldn't help but worry about whether this matter would affect the security of Tailingshanfang City.

Moreover, if everyone lacks spiritual stones, more and more people will take the risk and embark on the path of calamity cultivation.

Many people on Liuyun Street noticed this phenomenon, so they directly bought Lingmi and closed the door to stay in the house without planning to go out.

Lu Ming didn't plan to go out either. He had so much spiritual blood in him, so it was better for him to cultivate honestly.

……

Winter passes and spring comes, summer passes and autumn arrives!

The vegetation in Tailingshanfang City has experienced a period of decline and prosperity, which means it has experienced four full seasons. Time flies, and one year has passed in the blink of an eye.

It’s spring time again.

"If I count my fingers, I will be 20 years old this year." Lu Ming stood by the window and lamented the passing of his youth.

Although his cultivation level is still at the fourth level of Qi training, the spiritual energy in the small courtyard is quite sufficient and the progress of the Pei Yuan Gong is quite gratifying. In another three years, he can reach the fifth level of Qi training.

Of course, Qi training requires water grinding, but the blood energy all over his body appears on the surface of the body, forming a body-protecting Qi, and his defensive power is much higher than that of ordinary Qi-refining period experts.

Then, Lu Ming came to the practice room and swung his hands forward as fast as lightning.

There was a snapping sound in the air.

Then, he took his hands back, his face turned red and he was panting.

"It seems that the third level of body refining is about to reach its peak, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the fourth level."

During this year, he practiced diligently every day, and never stopped taking a blood bath once every three days. When his Qi and blood reached the third level of body refining, he encountered an invisible film that prevented him from further improving his Qi and blood.

"Is it because of the technique?" Lu Ming thought to himself.

"And the effect of this low-grade spiritual blood tempering body is getting weaker and weaker."

"The benefits are almost gone. It seems I have to change to better spiritual blood."

However, after the mountain spring water from Master Feiyan was used up, he had no source of spiritual spring water. At this time, he didn't draw many amulets for half a year, and the ones for Pei Qian and Shen Yurou were all in stock.

The spiritual stones in his hand are also somewhat insufficient.

Lu Ming thought for a while and finally made up his mind: "In that case, let's go to the black market."

Even Lu Ming had to admit that the Gongsun family had besieged Xuling Mountain for a year, the mines were not open, and there was no action in the market. Now it can be said that all industries are withered.

Some people thought that things would be over soon, but most of them ran away.

Those who were trapped, especially Shen Yurou who said something nice, ended up going to the Forbidden Mountains to hunt monsters honestly.

Lu Ming originally wanted to run away, but he was reluctant to part with the small courtyard he rented for 400 spirit stones.

He also asked Pei Qian and Fairy Lin, and even shopkeeper Xiao, but he still didn't know the origin of the spiritual spring water.

He has given up on the normal ways in the market, so he can only find some abnormal ways.

The next moment, the white light in his hand flashed slightly, and a blood-red flag appeared in his hand.

At this time, the appearance of the blood cloud flag has taken shape compared to the word "cloud" written in ancient seal script before. The blood color is richer, and the surface of the flag is covered with strange lines, making it look mysterious and coquettish.

After a year of cultivation, the blood pool has expanded to a full foot wide, and contains thousands of kilograms of spiritual blood. The current Blood Cloud Flag can be considered a top-grade magical weapon.

In addition, the blood cloud flag's power mainly relies on the spiritual blood stored in the internal blood pool. It consumes very little mana, so its combat effectiveness is absolutely powerful.

With this magic weapon in hand, a trip to the black market shouldn't cause any problems. After all, even Pei Qian often goes to the black market and doesn't see any problems.

Now he has no other source of spiritual spring water except the black market, so he has no choice but to give it a try.

……

Liuyun Street, night. Holding the black wooden sign given by Pei Qian, Lu Ming changed into night clothes, put on a bamboo hat, put a hidden spirit charm on his body, and left Fangshi at night.

This hidden spirit talisman can effectively hide the fluctuations of the monk's spiritual power, making it difficult for people to see the specific cultivation level. If his own cultivation level is low, using this talisman will at least make it unclear whether it is true or false.

The black market is very close to the square market, only fifty miles away.

There is an attic here, and there are two people guarding it outside.

"Who is coming?"

asked the two muscular men guarding the door.

"I'm here to buy something!"

Lu Ming said.

"Do you have proof?"

"Of course."

After Lu Ming threw the wooden sign in his hand, the two strong men took a look and let him in after confirming it was correct.

Walking into the attic, there were no other people inside, just a few rows of shelves, a few chairs, and an empty passage.

Lu Ming walked into the passage, and the fog suddenly filled the air. He could only see about ten meters of space around him.

It's a formation!

Fortunately, he could see the road clearly even from ten meters away. Lu Ming walked along the passage for about a stick of incense. The road in front of him suddenly opened up. The layers of mist dispersed, and the surrounding buildings became clearly visible.

Looking around, there are many people setting up stalls to sell goods. Except that the stalls are a little simpler, they are no different from ordinary markets.

This black market is different from what I imagined. It feels just like doing serious business.

Lu Ming cursed secretly in his heart, but did not comment much and blended into the crowd.

There are quite a lot of people here.

"Brother, do you want to buy spiritual blood? The low-grade spiritual blood has just been released. I have 20 kilograms here, which is perfect for body training."

This is a place that sells spiritual blood, but there are still some bones on the stall.

"Low-grade iron corpse, the price is fair, and its power is amazing. You will definitely not lose money if you buy it and take it home as a bodyguard..."

There was actually someone selling zombies at another stall.

He found that the zombie's clothes were rudimentary and there were traces of various magic treatments on his body.

Low-grade zombies are probably similar to ordinary first-level body-refining monks. Their bodies are stiff and flexible, just like a target. However, the use of bell control is also very useful to interrupt the rear or create numerical suppression.

It's just that this kind of zombie refining requires complete corpses as materials, and the failure rate is quite high...it's another method of Jie Xiu.

Lu Ming glanced at it and felt a chill in his heart. The black market was a black market, and all the transactions were done with shady intentions.

Either kill people and take their blood, or kill people and refine their corpses.

Unfortunately, that's not what he asked for.

Lu Ming complained in his heart and then came to the inner circle.

There is no difference between the goods produced by the inner circle and the outer circle of the black market, but everyone in the inner circle knows tacitly that it is those big families who sell some treasures that cannot be shown in public.

We came to an exquisite stone house. There were eight such stone houses in total. Although people with a background had to set up stalls here for a long time before they built stone houses here. Otherwise, they could just lay out a blanket and sell.

Walking into the stone house, the two red lanterns hanging inside made the originally dark room look very eerie. There were also several flowerpots made of skulls hanging on the walls.

As for setting it up like this?

Lu Ming thought to himself.

Could it be to intimidate others?

Maybe!

There is a square wooden table in the center of the room. There are three people sitting on the table. They are all made of yellow paper with faces drawn on them. There are a large bag of ghost coins and incense candles piled around them.

"Welcome this distinguished guest!" one of the men asked, his voice low and hoarse.

Lu Ming knew that this was a paper figurine made of some secret techniques.

They are puppets in the Hundred Paths of Cultivation. At this time, their masters use them to talk to themselves.

Although these paper figures can't even block a fireball, they look quite scary at night.

Lu Ming said in a low voice: "I heard that you have a way to buy things from the Gongsun family. Don't worry, I understand the rules."

As he spoke, he threw out the wooden sign.

The paper man took the wooden sign, glanced at it casually and grinned. The smile on the face scrawled on the paper was so scary that it was better not to smile at all.
