Cultivation starts from being a ghost

Chapter 23

Qingshi City is located 140 miles south of Gulong Mountain, separated by a Panlong River. This city was originally a priest of Yan Luozong. After thousands of years of history, it has gradually evolved into a city where mortals and immortals live together.

Qin Chuan used his light body technique with all his strength, and did not enter the city until noon.

Seeing monks wearing Yan Luozong costumes pass by from time to time among the bustling crowds in the city, Qin Chuan finally understood why the sect that claims to have more than [-] disciples seems so deserted at ordinary times. It turns out that they also prefer the lively city life!
Some people say that cultivating immortals can endure loneliness, but people have seven emotions and six desires, how many people can really endure loneliness?
I will stay in Huiyin Mountain for several months in the future, and there is no place to eat there. There is a bottle of Bigu Pill in the storage bag, but although this thing can solve the problem of hunger, Qin Chuan is growing up, and he does not want to appear It is a symptom of dysplasia, so you need to prepare more rice, grain, fruit, and cooking utensils. What makes him a little speechless is that the price level of Qingshi City is several times higher than that of Wanghai City, and the shop owner even offers [-]% off Lingshi gimmick.

On the sidelines, I gradually figured out the currency exchange rate in the city. It is probably that a low-grade spirit stone is equal to ten taels of gold, or equal to 100 taels of silver. Relatively speaking, spirit stones are stronger.

After shopping for daily necessities, I walked towards the city center. This is where monks gather. The shops along the street also sell mostly items for cultivating immortals. In addition, some people set up stalls on the side of the road to sell goods.

Qin Chuan walked around in front of the front stall, selling mostly ores and low-level spirit grass and other things, these materials are temporarily useless to him, and was planning to go to the shop to have a look, when suddenly another stall came, This person was in his thirties, with a yellow face and whiskers, and a mole growing under his jaw, making him look quite wretched.

"Sell all kinds of books and jade slips, the treasure book is in hand to cultivate immortals without worries, the complete collection of spells to subdue demons and demons, and various exercises are on sale..." This guy spread out the animal skin and yelled loudly, which immediately attracted many people. Few people stopped.

Qin Chuan also leaned over to see him put the volumes of silk books and jade slips on it, and flipped through them casually. The silk books recorded really were exercises, such as Qingmu Jue, Houtu Jue, etc., but only the first one Two layers, some even only have a formula to introduce gas, and those jade slips are all "Cultivation Book", "Basic Spells" and the like, which are worthless to him.

Of course, there are also many people who are interested in these things. The yellow-faced man decided that a casual cultivator dressed as a Jiang Hu was tempted by basic spells, so he quoted five spirit stones. As a result, the two sides bargained and argued for a long time. Bought the jade slips with three Lingshi plus 90 taels of silver.

Seeing this situation, Qin Chuan thought that there were more than 1000 spirit stones in the storage bag at his waist, and suddenly felt that compared with these people, he was considered to be relatively wealthy.

After leaving the booth, being cautious by nature, he found a hidden place to change Yan Luozong's clothes, and then started to shop.

First of all, enter a relatively large utensil store, and see that the owner's clothing should belong to Yan Luozong's industry.

The Equipment Hall mainly sells magic weapons and treasures, and also collects various spiritual materials. Qin Chuan casually inquired about the prices of magic weapons and treasures. A low-grade Yinluo flag costs 50 yuan of spirit stones, and a middle-grade flying sword costs at least [-] yuan. Lingshi, and a low-level magic weapon requires ten thousand Lingshi, which made Qin Chuan, who was originally complacent, realize that he is still poor.

I bought a bottle of Qi Gathering Pill suitable for his current cultivation at the elixir shop, went to the grocery store to buy two turns of low-grade talisman paper and one turn of middle-grade talisman paper, and finally went to the material store to buy some materials for refining corpses. After one turn, the stock of spirit stones was less than nine hundred, which made Qin Chuan heartbroken.

Before going to Huiyin Mountain, he had to find a place to draw a few "Jiama Shenxing Talismans". After all, it was more than four hundred miles away from Huiyin Mountain, and he couldn't support it with his cultivation for a long time. live.

The Divine Walking Talisman is a medium-grade magic talisman, so he specially spent 20 yuan in spirit stones to buy a circle of medium-grade talisman paper. In the Water Margin, Dai Zong used this talisman to get the name of the Divine Walking Taibao.

After shopping for two streets, he found a small inn in a relatively quiet alley. Qin Chuan had just walked in when suddenly a person rushed into the inn in a panic, almost knocking him down.

Qin Chuan turned around and was about to speak when the man "hush" and made a silent gesture. He hid behind the door and immediately pinched the formula with his hands, and he disappeared out of thin air.

"Invisibility?" While Qin Chuan was hesitating, two people in blue Taoist robes came to the door of the inn, looked inside for a few times, and then released their consciousness to check around, but finally did not find the target they were looking for , cursed and left.

After a while, the figure behind the door reappeared, with a rat mustache under his chin, and a red mole, with a wretched appearance. It was the yellow-faced man who was selling jade slips before.

"Little brother, I was sorry just now, I bought you a drink as an apology!"

They all apologized, and Qin Chuan couldn't say anything more. It happened that he was also a little curious about this person, so he agreed. The owner invited the two to sit down, made tea, and then went to the back hall to prepare food and drinks.

The yellow-faced man is a very talkative person. He calls himself Zhou Zixu, a casual cultivator who makes a living by reselling jade slips and silk books. Qin Chuan also reported his name, but because the person chasing Zhou Zixu just now was an outer disciple of Yan Luozong, so he I had no choice but to lie and claim that I was also a casual cultivator.

Soon the food and drinks were served, and Qin Chuan asked about what happened just now.

"Hmph, what else can it be, come to collect the booth fee! I was targeted by them just after I opened today, what? Last time a guy deliberately said that I used fake exercises to deceive people, and forcibly confiscated my Stall!" Zhou Zixu spattered his saliva, with a look of indignation on his face.

After hearing this, Qin Chuan knew in his heart that he had heard a lot of such things in his previous life. Zhou Zixu's experience was the same as that of a small businessman running away from the city management.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, won't you be able to set up a stall in Qingshi City in the future?"

"It doesn't matter, the big deal is to go to the market of other sects. By the way, little brother, I have some jade slips left, and I can sell them to you at a cheaper price!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I don't lack both kung fu and spells, and there is also a volume in the Immortal Cultivation Book!"

Zhou Zixu showed a slight look of disappointment, but he still didn't give up, "Do you want a catalog of talismans? We immortal cultivators don't have the skills to do it by themselves, little brothers should learn more skills while they are young!"

Qin Chuan had no choice but to take out a roll of talisman catalog from the storage bag and show him.

"It seems that little brother really has a long history of family education, but I have a jade slip here, and you must have never learned the things recorded on it!" After speaking, he pretended to be mysterious and took out a broken black jade slip.

"It seems that this guy is going to sell me something!" Qin Chuan didn't want to spoil his face too much, and casually took the jade slip and checked it with his spiritual sense.

The information recorded in the jade slip is very large. Since the front and back are incomplete, I don’t know the name of the jade slip, but we can judge from the specific content that it is about formations and restrictions, and it is by no means a common product for beginners. When Qin Chuan I accidentally saw a part of it, and I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, but it didn't show on my face.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, if this jade slip is complete, it should be very valuable, what a pity!"

"Yes, but you can't deny its value. If I didn't urgently need spirit stones to buy medicine pills, I wouldn't sell them!"

Qin Chuan cursed secretly in his heart: He really is a profiteer, he really treats me like a ten-year-old child!But the expression on his face is extremely sincere, and with that slightly simple and honest face, no one can tell that this is a guy with a lot of scheming, "I am really interested in the formation, but I just bought the talisman paper, and the spirit stone is only left. A few yuan, there are still some gold and silver, but... alas... this jade slip from fellow daoist will definitely sell for a good price!"

Hearing what he said, the light in Zhou Zixu's eyes flashed away, "Little brother, why did you say that, you and I are destined to meet here, since you are interested in the formation, this jade slip is only eight spirit stones I sold it to you, if you are really sorry, you can add some gold!"

Qin Chuan pretended to be shy, "I only have four spirit stones!"

"That's it... forget it... four yuan is four yuan!" Zhou Zixu said generously.

In the end, Qin Chuan bought the black jade slips with four low-grade spirit stones and a few ounces of gold. Zhou Zixu made a deal and was in a good mood. If he drank too much, he would naturally talk more. Let Qin Chuan understand A lot of interesting information.
