Chapter 4 Fang City
"Now my cultivation is the third layer of qi refining, and the same is true of that Huang Daozi, the gap between us lies in the magic weapon, he snatched my only magic weapon last time, in that case, I still lack a magic weapon......"
Lao Tan pondered his plan for revenge as he walked down to the South Cemetery.
The South Cemetery is one of the Ling Mountains used by the Xiao family to grow spiritual vegetables, and Lao Tan is the cook of the South Cemetery, usually responsible for cooking for the children of the Xiao family who guard the South Cemetery.
The entire Nan Cemetery is the three children of the Xiao family, as the only cook, Lao Tan's work on weekdays is quite idle, no, he used the excuse of going down the mountain to buy vegetables and cook rice to leave the South Cemetery, and instead came to a monk Fang City located in the county seat.
The name of the county seat is Chiyun City, which is a relatively large concentration of monks in Shaoyang, and the scale of the monk city here is also relatively large.
Originally, when Lao Tan was still a mortal, he was not qualified to enter this kind of market, but after becoming a monk, Lao Tan knew how to enter after several inquiries.
Coming to the vicinity of Chiyun City, Lao Tan took out a blue cloak from his system backpack space and put it on, as a player, Lao Tan's system backpack was only two at the beginning, and then with the improvement of cultivation, there are now eight squares, each grid can place an item, and items of the same type can also be infinitely stacked, which is equivalent to a magic weapon that monks usually use to store things - Qiankun bag.
As a monk who had just stepped into the immortal cultivation realm, Lao Tan, who only had the third layer of qi refining, did not have that much ability to obtain such a treasure as the Qiankun bag, but it was very convenient for this system backpack to replace the Qiankun bag to store items.
"The entrance should be near here." Lao Tan came to a street located in the north of Chiyun City, which was ostensibly an ordinary cloth street, but from where the Xiao family learned the news, Lao Tan knew that there was a hidden entrance at the entrance of the street that only monks could find, and only through that entrance could you enter the real Fang City.
Lao Tan used the aura in his body to his eyes, and soon saw the location of the entrance, so he walked forward quickly, and the moment he stepped into the entrance, a slight feeling of dizziness hit.
When he reacted, Lao Tan found that he had come to another street.
It is similar to the previous cloth selling street, the whole street is about 100 meters long, made of bluestone, and the surrounding vendors and shops are full of monks selling magic utensils and talismans.
Lao Tan was amazed, and walked slowly along the street, his eyes constantly wandering on the vendors and shops, and soon, he gave up the idea of entering the shops and set his sights on the vendors.
The number of magic weapons and talismans sold by these stalls is not large, but Lao Tan knows that the things sold by these people will be more suitable for him.
The reason is that most of these vendors are casual cultivators, and the prices they sell are not too high compared to those shops run by the cultivator family.
It is worth mentioning that the exchange between the monks of the immortal cultivation realm also needs currency, and their currency is a hard currency called spirit stones, and the grades from low to high are low-grade spirit stones, middle-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones.
These spirit stones are very versatile, in addition to being used as currency, they can also be used for cultivation, absorbing the spiritual energy inside, or providing a source of spiritual power for the formation.
Lao Tan had just become a monk, and he didn't have a single spirit stone, but after killing Xiao Yi yesterday and completing the task of "killing a player", he got 10 low-grade spirit stones from the system as a reward.
This is his only property, there is no way, he is just a kitchen handyman in the Xiao family, not even a disciple of the outer sect, it is impossible to get a spirit stone at all, if it wasn't for yesterday's task, he might not even have a spirit stone.
The first time he came to Fang Market as a monk, Lao Tan didn't know the specific value of 10 lower grade spirit stones, so he was not in a hurry to buy the magic weapon he wanted, but walked around the Fang Market and compared the prices before making a decision.
"This fellow Daoist, I don't know how to sell this magic weapon of yours?" It took half an hour for Lao Tan to finally stop in front of a small stall set up by a big man in Xuanyi, and pointed to a cyan Xiaoding on his stall and asked.
Soul Sucking Ding (Broken): Magic Weapon, Grade: Yellow Rank Medium Grade, Root Bone +2, + Spiritual Sense +1. When used on the target, there is a certain chance to absorb the target's qi, blood and mana, and the success rate depends on the difference between the two sides' cultivation.
Lao Tan's method of identifying magic weapons is very simple, as long as you focus on looking at something, the system will immediately give the corresponding text description.
The inconspicuous Xiaoding in front of him was actually a medium-grade magic weapon, which made Lao Tan feel a kind of surprise.
You must know that the vast majority of low-level monks do not have magic weapons, and even if they do, they are all low-grade magic weapons, otherwise, Huang Daozi would not have snatched Lao Tan's magic weapon "White Bone Nail" in the first place.
The medium-grade magic weapon is definitely unattainable in the eyes of a little monk like Lao Tan who is at the third level of qi refining, and it stands to reason that the price will exceed a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, but when he saw the word "broken", Lao Tan felt that he could ask the price before making a conclusion.
"Little brother, do you want to buy my magic weapon?" The big man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lao Tan, looked at it for a moment and shook his head and said, "It's only the third layer of qi refining, even if you buy my magic weapon, you won't be able to use it." ”
- Zhao Ganglie
Lao Tan saw the name on the big man's head, although he couldn't see the other party's cultivation, but since the other party had a broken medium-grade magic weapon, it meant that his cultivation was above the seventh level of qi refining.
This is a master, no wonder the tone of his voice was tinged with a touch of contempt, but Lao Tan didn't care, and said with a smile: "In the Fang Market, you sell and I buy, everyone trades fairly, why should Brother Tai care about my cultivation." ”
Zhao Ganglie, who is also a big man, was stunned when he heard this, stretched out five fingers in the middle of the sound, and grinned: "Okay, give me fifty lower grade spirit stones, and you can take the magic weapon." ”
Fifty lower-grade spirit stones?
Lao Tan couldn't help frowning, although he knew that even if a middle-grade magic weapon was broken, it couldn't be too cheap, but fifty low-grade spirit stones were too exaggerated, right?
Lao Tan had inquired before, like the three Xiao family disciples in the Southern Cemetery, they could only receive two lower-grade spirit stones as a fortune every month, and the spirit stones were used as a necessity for the cultivation of monks in the Qi refining period, and the two lower-grade spirit stones were no longer enough for cultivation at ordinary times, and ordinary monks did not know what year and month they would have to save enough for these fifty spirit stones.
"What's wrong? No money? Since you don't have any money, you can go. Zhao Ganglie waved his hand impatiently when he saw Lao Tan's reaction, looking like he didn't want to deal with it anymore.
Lao Tan subconsciously turned his head and wanted to leave, but when he was about to move one foot away, he suddenly saw Zhao Ganglie's shoulder, although his shoulder was tightly bandaged with gauze, it was obvious that black blood was oozing out, it was estimated that he was injured and poisoned.
A thought came to mind, Lao Tan stood still, looked at Zhao Ganglie and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, I don't know if I can buy your magic weapon in another way?" ”
