Chapter 140: The Four No's Principle
Kochiyama, Tsuburayabo City.
"Rejuvenation Pill, eleven spirit stones in a bottle!"
Jiang Ming set up a stall selling elixirs, and ushered in another guest, tentatively quoting the price.
"Master Jiang of the Spirit Plantation Hall? I heard that the quality of your elixir is stable and the credibility is very high...... Then I'll reluctantly suffer a small loss, let's have five bottles first!" A big man with a stubble on his face said.
"Daoist friends buy so much?" Jiang Ming's heart jumped, but he asked with a smile on his face.
"Hey, there's no harm in storing more of this thing, just in case you need it......" The big man said casually, but he didn't say much, and after putting down the spirit stone and taking the spirit pill, he left quickly.
Jiang Ming weighed the spirit stone in his hand, looking at the few spirit pills left on the stall, but his heart was even more worried, what kind of bullshit has a high reputation, just in case of emergency, why is this person obviously preparing......
In the past few days, the price of Xiaoqianshan has quietly risen, and Jiang Ming has also followed the trend to increase the price of each bottle of pill by one percent, but it is becoming more and more popular.
Where is there such a coincidence in the world, these casual cultivators have suddenly made a fortune, and there is no place to spend the spirit stones?
Although prices have fluctuated before, this time Jiang Ming's intuition was that something was wrong.
"I'll have to ask someone insider!"
Jiang Ming's eyes flashed, he directly closed the stall, walked to a remote street corner, took out two messengers from the storage ring, and released them after entering the information with spiritual power......
Night.
Yuqiong Building.
In a secluded private room.
"Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Duan, what happened on this little thousand mountain?"
Jiang Ming lowered his posture and asked.
Feng He smiled when he heard this: "Your sense of smell is very sensitive, and it has only been a few days since you found out that something was wrong...... During this time, some strangers did come to the mountain, and even some strange people joined us in each hall."
Feng He didn't name him, but Jiang Ming knew that the person he was talking about should be someone like He Xiaowan who suddenly joined.
It seems that the high-level leaders of the Lingzhi Hall also knew that He Xiaowan's purpose was not pure......
"Will there be any woe?" Jiang Ming asked in a low voice, he didn't care about these messy people, he only cared about what kind of turmoil it was, and whether it would affect him.
Duan Ping ate the steamed spirit fish slowly, and interjected, "As long as we pursue the purpose of our Spirit Plantation Church, we should not gather, gather, be curious, or participate in the excitement...... It's fine."
Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, it's good to have a background, this kid really knows something, and hurriedly urged him to elaborate.
Duan Ping smiled, looked left and right, and punched out a soundproof note with his fingers, enveloping the three of them around him, and then opened his mouth and said, "Do you still remember that more than ten years ago, the Black Stone Ruins turmoil, countless monks died, and even the foundation building overhaul was involved, and the Jindan Ancestor was all paying attention behind his back......
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that he heard that there were remnants of the Dao sound of powerful preaching in the ruins, and they could benefit from it from all the way up to the knot pill and down to the qi practice......
"However, that ruin is protected by a formation, won't it be opened again after a while?" He frowned.
"The words are so, but the formation is dead, and the man is alive...... That relic formation has been in disrepair for a long time, and the major immortal cultivation forces in the Fire Domain have continued to explore over the years, and the strong people of the Jiedan have made several moves, and they can be regarded as having some gains in advance!"
"And a few days ago, the ancestor of Xiaoqianshan seemed to have gained something from the ruins, but in the battle with several other Yudan monks, he was injured a lot, and he fled and has not returned......
Jiang Ming's heart sank, without the little Qianshan where the ancestor of the Jiedan was located, for the other Jiedan forces, it was no different from the fat waiting to be divided.
"Other forces, will they take action against Xiao Qianshan?" Jiang Ming hurriedly asked, "Will it affect the Spirit Plantation Hall?"
Duan Ping's face was calm, and he shook his head and said, "Xiao Qianshan is different from those sects, its value lies in the many scattered cultivations here, and the energy continues to create wealth for the managers...... In the final analysis, the halls of Lingzhi Hall and Danhuo Hall are at best a group of high-level casual cultivators, no matter who wants to eat them
Qianshan, as long as we are obedient, they will not do anything out of the ordinary to us."
Jiang Ming nodded a little abruptly, are leeks dividends, I understand, I understand......
"But those casual cultivators who join in the fun, maybe they will take advantage of the troubled waters to fish, and there may be some chaos, but other than that, it's just a change of master, how should we live the lives of these minor cultivators, or how should we live......
Feng He also smiled, obviously the two of them didn't take it very seriously, and they didn't have any sense of belonging to Xiao Qianshan......
"The master of flowing water, the leeks of iron!"
Jiang Ming sighed in his heart, and suddenly remembered the days of collecting medicine in Ping'an Town, time has passed, but some things are always like this......
He suddenly remembered something and looked at Duan Ping, "Isn't your uncle on duty at the main peak?" Won't it be affected?"
Several of them have long been familiar with it, and there is no need to shy away from this kind of words, Duan Ping's uncle is a major overhaul in the middle of foundation building, and he can be regarded as a high-level figure in Xiaoqianshan.
Duan Ping took a sip of wine: "This is all what my uncle told me, let me live as I want...... He's just gone down the mountain two days ago, and he's already communicated with people!"
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and went down the mountain for a trip, there is too much to say here, but it's a pity that I don't have such an uncle......
……
Full of wine and food, Jiang Ming said goodbye to the two of them and returned home with a solemn heart.
"Looks like it's time to go out and hide for a few days......
"The throne changes, the old man may not want to step on the leek, but I am afraid that there are a lot of foundation building overhauls that want to fish in troubled waters, and if you accidentally get injured, it will be a big trouble......
Jiang Ming didn't plan to leave Xiaoqianshan completely, but after weighing the pros and cons, maybe it was time to go out and avoid it for a few days.
Although Duan Ping and Feng He both looked light-hearted, Jiang Ming didn't see that others were very good, so he really thought that he could do it too.
Those two are Xiao Qianshan's old fritters, and the relationship behind them is complicated, and Jiang Ming has no background, although everyone usually drinks and talks, but if something happens, the purpose of Lingzhitang is to protect himself, and no one will care about him.
Only by running away in time is the safest......
It's a land of right and wrong, and it's never too late to come back when you're settled...... As long as you don't get caught in the whirlpool, you won't provoke enemies, and at most you will lose some spiritual rice in the field, which is nothing.
Late at night, Jiang Ming packed all the messy things in the house, such as medicine tripods and books, into the storage ring.
The ripe elixir in the spiritual field was also harvested by him...... As for the seedlings, just throw them here, they are not worth much, in case they survive.
"And these things......" Jiang Ming walked under the big tree and dug out a storage ring from the pit.
"Fire Lotus Valley, Sancai...... There are also a few gifts from the casual cultivation in the past ten years, and there are always a lot of things here."
"The chaos has been rising in the past few days, and I am about to leave, so it's time to go to the black market and take advantage of the chaos to sell these things for cash......
Although he had been to the black market many times, Jiang Ming was extremely patient and had never taken these things out and waited until now.
He put away the storage ring and checked it one last time, and there was indeed nothing missing, and he was slightly relieved.
Under the darkness of the night, Jiang Ming moved his body and began to practice his various spells one by one, in order to calm his mind and think about the preparations before leaving......
"With my physical body and recovery power, I don't need any defensive methods, and in terms of attack, the Golden Fire Sword Finger supplemented by the Fireball Technique is enough, at most I can buy some talismans in case of emergency, and the most important thing now is to buy an escape magic weapon......
Jiang Ming is not afraid of being hurt, he is only afraid of being caught, for him, escape is the first thing.
However, he has also seen all kinds of escape spells, and the strongest one is only five or five open with the martial arts forbidden technique, and then only the foundation building period can be cultivated...... Therefore, only by getting an escape magic weapon can he increase his current speed a little.
"The goal of buying a good ritual weapon in the market is too big,
Let's solve it on the black market......
……
In the early morning, the spiritual mist is permeated in the mountains, and the rice fields are quiet, and even the spiritual farmers who are farming have not yet entered the mountains.
In a valley with intricate terrain, there are already figures coming and going, and simple stalls are scattered among the valleys, placing all kinds of treasures.
Pills, talismans, magic weapons...... There are both common and mysterious and unknown things outside, and there are also some magic weapons that are impressively engraved with the symbols of some immortal cultivation sects.
Obviously, the people who dare to come here to sell goods are not ordinary people, and they can't be seen at all in the early stage of qi training, and half of them are in the later stage of qi training......
In addition to the stalls selling treasures, many of the stalls were also marked with the word "Purchase", apparently for some monks who came here to ship things that could not be seen......
An emaciated black-faced man wandered around the black market until he had walked around for two or three laps before stopping in front of a stall marked with the sign of Treasure Acquisition.
The black-faced man is naturally Jiang Ming's easy appearance, and now the forbidden spirit seal is becoming more and more proficient, unless it is the ancestor of Jiedan squatting here and setting up a stall, he is not afraid of being seen through by others at all.
And the stall he chose was one of the few stalls where he also purchased treasures, and the stall major was a relatively low one, with only six levels of qi cultivation...... If something really happens, he can also convince people with virtue in time.
"Rejuvenation Pill, Golden Blood Pill...... How much does it cost?"
Jiang Ming didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.
Before leaving, Jiang Ming was going to exchange all the remaining pills in his hand for spirit stones, leaving only two bottles of Returning Qi Pills for his own use.
This immortal source light is good anywhere, but it only returns blood and not blue, and the blood and spiritual energy need to be restored by themselves when they are exhausted, which is very annoying......
"Eight spirit stones per bottle!" The stall owner's eyes also lit up, the price of the pill has skyrocketed these days, and it is difficult to buy it.
"It's ......about thirty percent lower than Fang City," Jiang Ming said in his heart, but his face remained the same, the black market here is completely chaotic pricing, and the more anxious he is, the more he will suffer.
Eight spirit stones are already good, but when the market was not in demand before, there were only seven spirit stones......
At this time, Jiang Ming naturally couldn't wait to sell it slowly, and he didn't make a counteroffer, and directly sold all the more than thirty bottles of spirit pills, and got more than two hundred and eighty spirit stones.
After selling the elixir, Jiang Ming immediately left, wandered to a stall in another mountain col, and took out those magic weapon elixirs that belonged to Sancai......
After visiting more than a dozen stalls, Jiang Ming gradually sold all the things in his hand, and the price was also miserable, Jiang Ming estimated that it could have been worth four or five thousand spirit stones, but in the end there were less than three thousand.
"But it's all worth it, only the spirit stones in your hand can be spent with peace ......of mind," Jiang Ming didn't feel distressed.
At this time, there were only two or three magic weapons with the symbol of Fire Lotus Valley left in his storage ring, but he didn't dare to make any more moves, otherwise he might really be targeted......
"Huh? This is...... Spirit Sword Shuttle?"
In front of a stall, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up, and he finally saw what he wanted.
A palm-sized shuttle-shaped boat, long and narrow in shape, like a blade without a hilt, is full of streamlined beauty.
"Dao friendly vision, the standard intermediate magic weapon produced by the Sword Sect has the speed of a flying sword, and it only needs eight hundred spirit stones!" The stall owner enthusiastically introduced.
"Eight hundred?" Jiang Ming was taken aback: "Ordinary intermediate-grade magic weapons are only about five hundred."
I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run...... Although Jiang Ming didn't have an intermediate magic weapon in his hand, he still had a general understanding of the prices of these luxury goods.
Although the price of an intermediate magic weapon has increased tenfold compared to a primary magic weapon, this is also too damn outrageous......
The stall owner smiled and said, "Since Daoist friends know this Spirit Sword Shuttle, they should know its speed, which is considered the top among all intermediate magic weapons, and can be used until the foundation building period...... Moreover, there are many people who use this standard magic weapon, and it is not easy to be identified, but it is a necessary treasure for fleeing for one's life, killing people and stealing goods."
Jiang Ming was speechless, daring to love this kind of mass-produced magic weapon, it is more expensive in the black market, right......
"It's also in the market
With this thing, it seems that it only sells more than 600 spirit stones, but if it is a very stupid act to show your wealth in the market......
Jiang Ming shook his head, this is probably one of the reasons why the stall owner in front of him dared to ask for a high price.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming had already felt a little gaze around him, noticed his body, and simply stopped hesitating: "This spirit sword shuttle, I want it."
"Friends of the Dao are refreshing......" the stall owner smiled.
"I also want a map of the Fire Realm, the more detailed the better, yes?"
The stall owner nodded hurriedly: "Naturally, there is, but the more detailed this thing, the more expensive it is...... The best map I have here, I want a hundred spirit stones, I just updated it half a year ago, and the information in it is sure that you are satisfied!"
"Yes!"
Eight hundred spirit stones were spent, and Jiang Ming didn't bother to bargain......
After a while, Jiang Ming took the Spirit Sword Shuttle and a jade slip into his arms, and went to several other stalls, bought some consumables such as talismans, thunder beads, and explosive qi pills, and spent more than three hundred spirit stones before leaving the black market quickly.
"This wave has come down, and more than a thousand spirit stones have been made......
Jiang Ming was a little painful, but thinking about how these things could make his escape ability improve by several grades, his mood was a little better.
Along the way, Jiang Ming continued to change his breath and face, and after going around several times in various places where people came and went in Xiaoqianshan, he was relieved after making sure that no one was following.
"Everything is ready, open ......"
Jiang Ming didn't even reply to Xiao Qingfeng, he took out a tattered iron sword from the storage ring, rode on it and flew down the mountain......
"After 20 years on the mountain, I'm finally going out to let off steam, and I'm really excited to think about it......
Jiang Ming couldn't help but stretch his waist, he had been cautious in Xiaoqianshan for twenty years, and it was not bad to go out for a walk and enjoy it for a few days.
