Chapter 64: Shi An's Shop
A month later, in the city of the Twin Towers, outside the door of the grocery store. A handsome, long-looking young monk dressed in a monk's uniform came out of the shop and muttered, "Profiteers, all profiteers, enough money for a family to eat and clothe for a lifetime is worth so little?"
This man is none other than Shi An, who is now like a calculating businessman.
He thought about it for several days in the Purple County Mountain, and finally decided to go according to the original plan, and had just arrived in the Twin Towers City the day before.
In the past month, he didn't use the Spirit Gathering Array, but had been outside Liu Chen's Cave Mansion, not only because the only five lower-grade Water Spirit Stones left in his hand were not enough to drive the formation, but also because he wanted to protect the Dharma for Yan Ying.
A demon beast is a demon beast, and the speed of recovery of the body is amazing, and in less than twenty days, the flame eagle has recovered as before. When the body is better, there is no need to stay here, so it picked up the eagle egg that was about to hatch with its mouth and walked out of the hole, nodded and flew away with Shi An, who was guarding the outside commanding the two swords.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, Shi An entered the cave again, found a few clothes of suitable size in the pile of mortal loot, and after thinking about it, he turned out some jade, gold and silver and other fine softness, and prepared to go to the Twin Towers City to exchange a few spirit stones, and then burned the cave clean.
In the days that followed, he rushed to the City of the Twin Towers. In fact, the destination is not far from here, after crossing the Tuotuo River, it is about 300 miles to the southeast.
When crossing the Tuotuo River, it was a little troublesome, there were no bridges, no ferries, and Yan Ying had already gone back, and his ability to perceive the imperial objects was not enough to fly across the river of more than sixty zhang.
In the end, he thought of a way, found a few rattan sticks more than ten zhang long and three fingers thick, tore a piece of clothing and pulled them into strips of cloth, connected them separately, pulled them with his hands, and then tied one end to Wanqing's sword and the other end to a big tree. Mobilize all your divine consciousness to control Wanqing and fly to the other side. The weight of the rattan of more than sixty zhang is not light, and when Wanqing was barely placed on a big tree on the opposite bank, Shi An collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.
Back at the Cave Stone, the Divine Consciousness rested in the futon for a few hours. When he was almost recovered, he came out and continued to direct Wanqing to circle around the big tree a few times. Well, now a simple rattan "bridge" has been built. Of course, Shi An didn't want to walk on it, but just used this "bridge" as a foothold for his own sword to fly over.
Stepping on the first sword controlled by the divine sense, he flew smoothly to the opposite bank for more than 20 zhang along the "bridge", and when the divine consciousness was not exhausted, he tied the jade pendant and hung it firmly on the "bridge", and then flew into the cave stone to quickly recover his divine consciousness with a futon. After a few hours, he came out, took off the jade pendant and walked for more than 20 zhang, and then returned to the cave stone. After doing so three times, they finally reached the southern vein of Zijun Mountain.
Unlike the calm and tranquility of the northern vein, the southern vein is noisy and dangerous. The journey should only be made during the day, as most of the beasts are nocturnal. Even so, Shi An still let go of all his divine senses, slowly pushed forward, and hid in the cave stone at the slightest movement.
It took two days to complete more than 100 miles of mountain roads, and after leaving the mountain pass, I turned to the main road. Thinking that he was just a small ninth-layer qi refining cultivator, in order to prevent the appearance of robbers halfway, he put all his storage bags into the Dongtian Stone, changed into his original clothes that were a little shabby, and painted some mud and dust on his face, not like a monk, but like a beggar fleeing. Now Shi An's divine sense has been perfected, and taking things out of the storage bag is only a matter of blink of an eye, but for some reason, such a powerful divine sense still can't access things directly in the cave stone, which makes him puzzled.
Facts have proved that Shi An's caution is not superfluous, there are indeed people who block the road and rob on the road for two hundred miles, but seeing him without exception let him get out of the way.
After another two days, he came to the outside of the Twin Towers.
The City of the Two Towers is marked by two nine-story towers in the center of the city. According to the city chronicles, the two towers were built in honor of a high monk in the area. More than 3,400 years ago, it was a small village, and most of the inhabitants were mere mortals who lived a life without fighting with the world. Somehow in a certain year, the two great monks fought in this place and had a vicious fight, when the wind and clouds changed, the heavens and the earth collapsed, and there was a fire and sword shadow within a radius of hundreds of miles. When the two overhaulers left this place one after the other, they left only hundreds of miles of floating corpses and mourning all over the wilderness.
The land and crops have been destroyed, a small stream that used to flow through this place has been cut off, and all the spiritual energy has been depleted, making it no longer suitable for habitation. At this time, a Buddha cultivated the road through this place, restored the vitality of this place with great divine power, and established a small temple called "Fengying Temple" to stay for a long time. Somehow, since he was stationed, the aura in this place has become more and more prosperous, not only attracting more mortals to settle down, but also attracting many low-level cultivators to come and cultivate.
Over the next 100 years, more and more people gathered here, and gradually formed a settlement centered on the "Fengying Villain", and later the Four Elephants Temple also appointed a monk from the foundation period to act as the lord of the castle, which formed a small town. And when there were sixteen Buddha cultivators in the Qi refining period, eight foundation building periods and one Buddha cultivation in the Dan period, the great monk quietly left.
Before leaving, Fengying Villain built this twin pagoda in the temple about a mile on the left and right, outsiders say that this is to commemorate the Buddha who does not know the name of the Dharma and built, the left is called "Feng Pagoda", the right one is called "Ying Pagoda", and it still stands here for more than 3,000 years. The city of the Twin Towers named after it gradually changed from a town to a small city, and later formed a large city with a length and width of 10 miles and a permanent inhabitant of 8.9 million.
The Twin Towers City is getting bigger and bigger, but the scale of the "Fengying Courtyard" has not changed, it is still that small temple, and the Buddhist cultivation in the temple has always maintained sixteen Qi refining periods, eight foundation building periods and one Dan period. Whenever the rated number changes, such as the advanced foundation building period during the Qi refining period or the advanced foundation building period during the foundation building period, the temple will make corresponding adjustments, or send out of the temple, or open the door to accept disciples. At this time, a large number of casual practitioners come to the school, but the selection of personnel in the other schools is extremely strict, and in addition to the regular selection process of checking the spiritual roots and looking at the cultivation, it is also necessary to examine the applicants' knowledge of the Dharma, which excludes the vast majority of people. Because of the strong atmosphere of cultivation in the other courtyard, and the disciples during this period advanced relatively quickly, this place became a sect that monks were extremely eager to enter. Therefore, over time, the Twin Towers City has formed a strong atmosphere of learning and cultivating Buddhism.
In a no-man's land outside the city, Shi An washed away the dust and dirt all over his body with a water polo technique, and changed into a square uniform, and then entered the city in good spirits.
According to his thoughts, he first exchanged a few useless low-grade magic weapons in his hand, the mental methods of small sects, and mortal belongings for spirit stones, and by the way, learned about the prices of the Twin Towers City. ran a few magic weapon stores, and finally sold six low-grade magic weapons in good condition, and got eight medium-grade spirit stones, and the small sect's mental method also sold fourteen medium-grade spirit stones in the bookstore, and finally entered a few grocery stores, and reluctantly exchanged a large pile of belongings for thirty low-grade ordinary spirit stones.
The next step is to set up a shop and start the great business of earning spirit stones by yourself.
Shi An, who had been in the city for two days, knew that the business in the city was also divided into regions. The outer area is the area where mortal goods are bought and sold, and the territory is the widest. In the central city, there are two horizontal and one vertical streets for monks, and there are many shops of all kinds. The most in the middle is naturally the talisman material and finished product shop, after all, the four elephants are the sect that is good at making talismans, and most of the small sects and families that rely on it are mainly producing talisman paper, talisman ink, talisman pens and the like. The business surrounding the manufacture of talismans is of course the best business to do in the jurisdiction of the Four Elephants.
There are only three or five formation shops in the city, and the business is very deserted. According to Shi An's observation, the level of the formation mages here is also relatively low-level, and they can barely complete some common low-level formations.
He was now convinced that with his own formation level, he would definitely be able to dominate the city of the Twin Towers, so he began to look around for suitable shops.
In the outermost corner of the central city, I found a formation shop with the coldest business, "Li Ji Formation Shop", not only the geographical location is not outstanding, but more importantly, the formation level of the Li shopkeeper himself in the early stage of foundation building is also very low. There are only three guys in the shop, all of them are fourth- or fifty-year-old Qi refining fifth- or sixth-level cultivators, although the years of work are not short, but the level of progress is very slow.
Shopkeeper Li has long wanted to sell out the shop, but there is always no suitable buyer, to put it bluntly, there are too few spirit stones given.
After Shi An bargained with Shopkeeper Li, he finally delivered the goods with ten medium-grade spirit stones. The new shopkeeper Shi did not dismiss the original three guys, which also surprised the shopkeeper Li, and when he left, he did not forget to flash his cunning eyes and said to Shi An: "If the shop can't go on, you can resell it to me, and I will give out eight medium-grade spirit stones." This sentence made Shi An cry and laugh.
