Chapter 32: Monk Dongying
It's not too magical in the market, there are no things that are too bizarre, and most of the stalls are full of all sorts. The pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info talismans, magic weapons, medicinal materials, various materials, etc., some of which are made by the monks themselves, and some of which are found by the monks by chance.
There are even people who sell spirit animals.
"Master, what kind of bird is this?" Li Ke was pleasantly surprised by the novel world in front of him, and felt like he had jumped from the city to another world of cultivation.
"It's a red-beaked snow kite." Meng Fang glanced at the navel of the snow goose, there was only a piece of spirit feathers, it was the first grade spirit beast, and seeing that this spirit beast had a fat body, no pupils, and was resting and sleeping on the ground, the keeper estimated that it was only a pet, not a spiritual mount, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for him to fly.
They walked past the snow goose, walked to the end of the stall, and saw a few people on the ground who took a newspaper and set it up as a small stall on the spot, Meng Fang stepped forward to inquire, and learned that there was no need to pay the stall rental fee for setting up a stall on the ground, so he also picked up a newspaper on the ground, and then set up a stall on the spot.
"Master, you seem to be a little too casual like this, how can you put it on the ground, I'll buy you a stall." Li Ke, who has always lived in the high-end world, has a lot of opinions about setting up a stall on the spot, he feels that his master should be noble, how can he set up a stall on the ground, this is not much of a grade.
Meng Fang stopped him: "I'm just putting it temporarily, and I'll talk about it when I practice more in the future, and now I can't practice Dan every day to sell it when I buy a stall, it's a waste of nothing." ”
Li Ke heard Meng Fang say this, and then he quieted down. He originally wanted to accompany Meng Fang to sell pills together, but he was driven away by Meng Fang and asked him to go back to practice, striving to enter the Qi cultivation realm as soon as possible.
Meng Fang sat cross-legged in front of the stall quietly, there were many guests who came and went in front of him, but a few people stopped and stopped, everyone saw that he was selling pills, and they didn't even ask.
"Strange, the pills in this world are not easy to sell?"
Meng Fang looked around carefully again, and found that there were few people selling pills.
After two hours of guarding, there was not a single customer. Meng Fang, who was still full of confidence, practiced Dan to make money, and was suddenly whipped by reality.
It stands to reason that the pill he practiced was cultivated by Pei Yuan, and this pill was very popular in the world he had practiced before, and almost when he took it out, he would come forward and ask for the price.
"It's good that I haven't practiced too much, but if Lian Dan's way of making money doesn't work, do you need to take another path?"
Meng Fang looked at the people walking by in front of the stall bored and helplessly, they just looked at it with their eyes open, and no one stopped to ask at all, I don't know if it was because he didn't know the pill he practiced, or because this kind of pill for strengthening and cultivating was no longer the mainstream demand for the monks in this world.
"Young man, what kind of elixir are you selling?"
One stopped.
Blindfold the sharp eye, react faster. Quickly turned his eyes to the front of him, looking at the gray-haired old man who stopped in front of the stall, he thought it would be a guest, but the old man held a newspaper in his hand, so he set up a stall next to him and sat down, and put some talismans and small Taoist utensils on the newspaper, which was also here to sell things.
"Sanyuan Dan." Meng Fang's eyes are inevitably lost, and it seems that no one has bought it.
The old man was kind-hearted and said kindly: "There are very few people who sell pills here, and under normal circumstances, people who buy pills go directly to the pill shop, and the pills bought at the stalls will always make people feel uneasy, so most of them sell medicinal materials." ”
"And this?" If you want to sell it to the shop, you will definitely be bargained, and most of the money you can make will be made by the shop. Lian Dan makes money for others, it's really not necessary.
"Your elixir isn't healing, is it? Spiritual elixir, the epidermis of the elixir is polished, and the aura in the pill is also very good, it still looks very good, and it should have taken a lot of thought when practicing. "The old man practiced the sixth-layer cultivation of qi, and his eyes were naturally bright and shiny, and he recognized good goods.
"It's an elixir that fixes the breath and cultivates the aura, do you need it?" Meng Fang said.
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in cultivation now, and it is estimated that this life will be in this Qi cultivation period." Your kind of elixir is even more difficult to sell, and now that the aura in the air is thin, where can you go to absorb the aura if you eat this elixir? Young people have just been born, right? So I don't understand the changes in the market. ”
"yes, how did I forget about it." Meng Fang patted his head fiercely, he only thought that the sale of this elixir was very popular ten thousand years ago, but he ignored for a moment that he was living in the city ten thousand years later, and now the aura in the air was thin, although the elixir he practiced was to promote cultivation, but without aura, the value of this elixir was quite limited.
"Thank you, old man, for reminding me." Meng Fang sank down and thanked him very seriously.
The old man smiled and said, "You're welcome, I didn't help you much. ”
"May I ask the old man, what kind of pill is good to sell in this world?" Meng Fang asked again.
The old man thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Most people will go directly to the 'Dragon God Medicine Hall' to buy it, there are all kinds of pills there, and there are all kinds of pills. I heard that they also buy pills, but they are in business, so naturally the purchase price will not be too high. ”
"To be honest, the pill industry is very sluggish now, and almost all of the pill pharmacists I know have gone to work as pharmacists in the major pharmacies now, and few of them practice pills by themselves outside. Now there are fewer and fewer monks, and there are not many pills in demand, except for some pills that are necessary for cultivation. ”
Meng Fang couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly sighed that it seemed that the road of Lian Dan making money was destined to be impossible. However, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are there fewer and fewer monks now?" "Thinking of the scene where everyone practiced together in the past, now it seems that there are indeed a few monks.
"One is that the aura is thin, cultivation is becoming more and more difficult, and the height that can be achieved is becoming more and more limited. In addition, life is getting better and better now, ordinary people don't ask for much, their thoughts and spirits are comfortable, and they are slack, and not many people are willing to pursue ethereal things, and the world knows that there is a truth of life and death. The old man said.
Meng Fang asked again, "Do you know why the aura is getting thinner and thinner now?" ”
The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How do I know this, I have only lived to be a hundred years old, and my aura is already very thin when I come into contact with cultivation." Later, there were monks from Dongying who bullied and insulted my land, causing the people to live in misery and misery, and I also inadvertently came into contact with this karma at that time. ”
"Brother Dongying? Where is the monk? Is it far away? National? "Although Meng Fang knows this country, he doesn't know much about the Xiuzhen world.
"The Dongying monks are Dongying people, we are Huaxia people, naturally we are not from the same country, otherwise where would the invasion come from. Why don't you even know this? It seems that your kid seems to have lived in the old mountains for many years, and your master is really lazy, so I'll tell you. ”
The old man couldn't hide a bit of hatred in his eyes when he talked about the past: "Although they are neighbors, they are actually separated by an ocean. They live on the island, all kinds of resources are scarce, and it is no longer a day or two to spy on the land of China, and decades ago they finally couldn't help it, and a war of aggression broke out. Took a lot of our resources, but in the end we were always driven back, and now I am much more honest these years. ”
Meng Fang still didn't know where Brother Dongying was, so it was necessary to go back and ask Chu Lanting.
Since the old man has already woken up and the pill is not easy to sell, there is really no need to keep it anymore, it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell the pill even if it is guarded for another day or two. It's a pity that the beautiful dream at the beginning, he originally thought that the road of Lian Dan could easily solve his way of making money, but now it must not work.
After packing up his things, he thanked the old man next to him again. However, Meng Fang didn't leave immediately, and asked, "Old man, do you know if there are any signs nearby?" ”
The old man was slightly suspicious: "What kind of trick?" ”
Meng Fang thought for a while and said, "It's just a list of people who can't solve things, send out some information posts, and ask others for help." ”
"Yes, you go out through this side door, and there is a wall there, and there are all kinds of requests on the wall at all times, and if you have the ability, you can take some orders on it." The old man kindly reminded.
Meng Fang smiled and thanked the old man, and then walked through the side door according to the old man's instructions.
"Senior sister, the master is coming back, the phoenix blood crane has a problem at this time, it is really very anxious, if the master comes back and sees the phoenix blood crane she likes dying, I don't know how to punish us." Xu Yue frowned and looked at the senior sister Bai Mengling beside her.
"I heard that you can find someone to help here, let's try, it's useless to be anxious now, you and I have both encountered phoenix blood cranes like this before, and we don't know how to deal with it." Bai Mengling was also anxious, as a senior sister, she was afraid that the punishment she received would be heavier.
Xu Yue frowned bitterly and said: "The master is very severe, and her punishment is not light. ”
"There's no way around it." Bai Mengling walked to the place where the list was posted in front of her and pasted a list in her hand on the wall.
"Senior sister, will there be anyone? But the master said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the valley, if outsiders are allowed to enter, we may ...... "Xu Yue is not very old, she is only a teenager, and she is naturally not very bold.
"If the crane dies, will the punishment for you and me be lower than if you and I go into the valley? As long as outsiders cure the crane before the master comes back and leave, if you don't say it then, I don't say it, how will the master know, and besides, the master will come back in seven days after all, so let's let the master leave for a few days. Although Bai Mengling is older than Xu Yue, she is only eighteen, and she was a little irritated by the junior sister around her, so she ignored her, and when she came out of the Yellow Flower Valley, the junior sister kept croaking.
Xu Yue said again: "Now that there are fewer monks, and the beast cultivator is a partial cultivator, there are even fewer......" She noticed that the senior sister's face was slightly solemn, so she immediately closed her mouth.
Soon a few people came forward and surrounded him.
"Beast recruiter, heal the three-grade spirit beast phoenix blood crane, the specific cause is unknown, the crane looks listless recently, does not eat, and is sick."
"Three-grade phoenix blood crane, if such a high-grade spirit crane gets sick, I'm afraid it will be very serious."
"It's a pity that I'm not a beast cultivator, and I don't know how spirit beasts get sick."
Bai Mengling stared at the crowd around and squeaked, but everyone was just muttering beside them, and after a while, few people cared, and she couldn't help but get anxious in her heart, could it be that there were really few beast cultivators?
