The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 28 The Pearl Secretly Casts
After walking very far and making sure that Old Dao Qiu was not chasing him, Zhao Mingyang held his knees, took a long breath, and finally relaxed a little.

This section of the journey felt even more tiring and much longer than the three hundred miles he walked before he came here.

After all, he was not a fool. How could he not see that Qiu Laodao had murderous intentions for Zhang Jingyuan.

If he delayed for a while longer, Qiu Laodao might take action. He didn't think that the two of them, who had just started to practice at the first level of Qi Refining, could defeat Qiu Laodao in a dangerous place like Sanpo Ji, where they had been hanging out for so long. A monk in the middle stage of Qi refining.

Although he couldn't see the specific cultivation level of Qiu Laodao, he could still see the characteristics of Qiu Laodao in the middle stage of Qi refining. He might even be at the fifth or even sixth level of Qi refining in the middle stage of Qi refining. layer.

Although the Qi Refining Period is divided into nine levels, these nine levels are more focused on the monk's cultivation and are a detailed judgment of the monk's growth in his own realm.

In terms of strength, everyone prefers to use the terms early, middle, late, and great perfection. The first three levels are the early stage, the middle three levels are the middle stage, and the last three levels are the late stage. The ninth level of Qi Refining may become a foundation-building monk at any time. It is Dzogchen.

As for why they are divided like this, after all, if the cultivation level is only two or three levels apart, there will not be any qualitative leap in strength.

It is absolutely not unusual for the fourth level of Qi Refining to defeat the sixth level of Qi Refining.

But as a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining, Qiu Laodao, if he wanted to attack them, it would probably be no more difficult than squeezing a chicken to death, so how could he not run fast or get tired?

As soon as the thought came to mind, Zhao Mingyang couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jing, why do you want to buy his things? Maybe his things are really good treasures."

Others don't know how he and Zhang Jingyuan grew up naked together, so how could they not understand Zhang Jingyuan, so through the series of things just now, he is more than 80% sure that Zhang Jingyuan is just entertaining Qiu Laodao.

Furthermore, he didn't know whether Qiu Laodao's things were good treasures, but he still knew that Zhang Jingyuan definitely didn't have fifty spirit stones in his pocket, or even five spirit stones.

There were not even five spirit stones in his pocket, but Zhang Jingyuan dared to shout fifty spirit stones. If this wasn't to amuse Mr. Qiu, what was it?
"What a bullshit, what kind of ancient fairy sword? Those of his are not even the ones from last week. Maybe they were just made yesterday. They just used those refining materials in vain." Zhang Jingyuan said disdainfully.

"Then Brother Jing, why are you still bargaining with him?"

As soon as Zhang Jingyuan said this, Zhao Mingyang was even more dumbfounded. Based on his understanding of Zhang Jingyuan, Zhang Jingyuan should not be such a bad-tempered person and insisted on teasing Lao Dao Qiu.

After all, if you are not funny, you will die, so this is not the way to seek death, right?

"It's been a long time since I've bargained. I'm just trying to talk the talk, so that I won't be in trouble when it comes time to actually use it."

Zhang Jingyuan said with a smile.

Yes, his purpose is very pure, it's that simple.

Bargaining was an extremely difficult thing to do in his previous life when he was still on Earth.

After all, bargaining not only requires a strong tongue, a thick face, tirelessness, and the spirit of never giving up until the goal is achieved, but also requires an understanding of the psychological game between the boss and the boss, as well as the ability to observe what is going on.

Use the boss's words, expressions, body language, etc. to predict the price at which you can finally get it.

However, the saddest thing is that you worked hard and thought that you cut wonderfully and beautifully, saving yourself a lot of money, but your relatives and friends told you that they got it at a cheaper price.

It felt like I really wanted to die.

Therefore, in addition to online stores and supermarkets where prices are clearly marked, every time Zhang Jingyuan goes to offline stores, especially those from small merchants and hawkers, he has to undergo a long period of psychological preparation before going in.

After all, in a place like this, if you don't haggle, you really feel like you're being taken advantage of. But if you haggle, you really don't know how to start. You don't know what to say, and if you don't do it well, you'll feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, he would not go to such a place if he could.

On the contrary, after coming to the world of cultivation, Zhang Jingyuan became keen on haggling, and even used this kind of psychological game as a means of training his mind.

When he was at his peak, he cut down hundreds of stalls in a market one by one and defeated them all, winning a great victory.

As for those who were angry, sneaked up behind him and wanted to cause trouble for him, or even kill him, they were naturally reduced to materials and firewood to help him advance on the road of spiritual practice.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingyuan was somewhat looking forward to whether Qiu Laodao would cause trouble for him.

Although the sixth level of Qi Refining is a bit of a limit, I should be able to beat it.

As for why he wanted to practice bargaining, and a very important reason for coming to Sanpo Market, there was an opportunity where he set up stalls at Sanpo Market.

It was the information he got from soul searching after killing a demonic monk in his previous life at the golden elixir stage. It was because of this opportunity that this demonic monk was able to cultivate to the golden elixir stage.

In his previous life, he naturally wouldn't care about such things, but in this life, it is very important to get some good opportunities in advance.

After all, his current cultivation level is too low, and his progress is too slow.

His fighting experience can't even support him to become the king and hegemon during the Qi refining period, let alone a foundation-building monk. If he provokes a foundation-building monk now, wouldn't he be in trouble? Even a talented monk like Bai Buhui, who is very talented and has the guidance of a famous teacher behind him, might not be able to defeat him in the middle stage of Qi refining.

After all, he is now a three-nothing person who wants cultivation but no cultivation, and wants magic weapon but no magic weapon.

However, he just scanned the stalls and did not find the thing that could trigger the opportunity. Moreover, in the memory of the demon cultivator, the monk who sold him the things did not appear among the people setting up the stalls today.

Hearing what Zhang Jingyuan said, Zhao Mingyang was immediately speechless. In order to practice bargaining, he went to seduce a middle-stage Qi refining monk. He really didn't know how Zhang Jingyuan got the courage. He couldn't do this even after eating the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's. Bar.

"However, if this is the case, Brother Jing, wouldn't it be a loss if you spend two more spiritual stones to buy this jade pendant?"

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zhao Mingyang said suddenly.

"No loss, no loss. Two spirit stones can buy such a jade pendant. Not only do I not lose money, I actually make a lot of money. This jade pendant can be said to be the most valuable thing in Qiu Laodao's entire stall."

Zhang Jingyuan took out the jade pendant and said proudly.

For Qiu Laodao, an ignorant person, this jade pendant is like a hidden gem.

This jade pendant is made from Huang Jie's top-grade heavenly material and earthly treasure, frosty jade.

The requirements for the existence of frost jade are very strict. It can only exist next to the spiritual veins in extremely frozen places at the north and south poles of the planet. It can also be regarded as a kind of jade accompanying the spiritual veins.

It is formed from a piece of ice crystal that undergoes severe cold and sufficient spiritual energy supply, and then evolves over at least a thousand years.

When held in the hand, it has the effect of refreshing the ice heart and nourishing the body. If used to make weapons, it naturally has ice attributes and can increase the ice attribute Taoist magic by more than 30%.

Otherwise, how could one be rated as a top-grade Huang-level person? Generally speaking, magic weapons and elixirs made from top-level Huang-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures can only be used by Golden Elixir monks.

Not to mention anything else, just the jade pendant in his hand, relying on the frost jade inside, he can still sell twenty spirit stones to someone who knows the goods.

On the contrary, now, for some unknown reason, the refining monk poured a large number of wood-attribute formations into it and used some wood-attribute materials, which caused the pearl to become dusty, but instead allowed him to take advantage.

Of course, it is also possible that the person who uses this magic weapon has water and wood spiritual roots in his spiritual root, and the ice property of the frost jade is too strong. If worn for a long time, it will affect the wearer himself, so it is like this.

It was precisely because of this jade pendant that he approached Qiu Laodao to bargain. Otherwise, there were hundreds of people setting up stalls at Sanpo Market. Why did he find Qiu Laodao instead of others?

"It's fine if you don't pay compensation. I'm just saying, Brother Jing, how could you do such a losing business?"

Hearing this, Zhao Mingyang breathed a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to Zhang Jingyuan. He was sincerely happy that Zhang Jingyuan had obtained another treasure.

"Looking back, I will refine this jade pendant and the jade pendant given by Lu Fangshan and the others. I will keep this one and give that one to you as a self-defense weapon." Zhang Jingyuan said.

The jade pendant given by Lu Fangshan was naturally not as good as the one in his hand, but after refining it, it could barely turn from an ordinary jade pendant into a magic weapon.

Although it's not great, it should be enough for Zhao Mingyang. At least it can bear the attack of a monk in the early stage of Qi refining for an hour or two.

"No need. Even if you don't need Brother Jing's jade pendant, you can just sell it for spiritual stones. I don't need it. I will still be in Yanyang City most of the time in the future, so there won't be any danger."

Zhao Mingyang shook his head and refused.

"It doesn't matter. It's a worthless gadget. Who among us is following the other? When did you become so alienated from me?"

Seeing Zhang Jingyuan's insistence, Zhao Mingyang could only nodded.

After wandering around the streets for a while, Zhang Jingyuan could only take Zhao Mingyang back to the inn again when he was sure that the opportunity he wanted had not appeared.

But when they were still a hundred meters away from the inn, Zhang Jingyuan's consciousness suddenly realized that there were four men standing in the shadow of a wall not far away, and he also noticed a familiar aura from one of them. .

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly became wary and stopped moving forward.

And these four people seemed to be coming for Zhang Jingyuan. As soon as Zhang Jingyuan appeared, the four people immediately stepped out of the shadows.

Zhang Jingyuan took a closer look and saw that the man he felt was somewhat familiar was the lean man who had failed to steal his money on the street just now.

It seemed that this lean man found out that his money had been stolen and came to find him.

However, to Zhang Jingyuan's expectation, after the lean man appeared, he pushed the golden mountain directly towards him and knelt down like a jade pillar.
