Chapter 7 Buying Books
Twenty-seven spirit stones, Xu Mu exchanged ten of them for medicinal materials for refining Qi Gathering Pills, and the remaining seventeen pieces were ready to buy some things.
It's good to buy medicinal herbs directly at the Song family pharmacy!
"Guest, you go slowly!"
Although Xu Mu's transaction volume was very small, the maid still politely sent him out.
Because he knew that he was an alchemist, his attitude was much more enthusiastic.
After leaving the Song family's pharmacy, Xu Mu walked towards the market in Baishifang City, which was specially used to set up stalls.
"Black-scaled beast meat! Two catties of a low-grade spirit stone! β
"Talisman! Talismans! It's all a fine talisman! If the effect is not good, don't need money! β
"Ten Great Tonic Pills! Eating one capsule can make you powerful for three days! β
The market is bustling, with shouts, shouts, and bargains, one after another, and it is much more lively than the shops.
Xu Mu was also a frequent visitor here in the past!
It's been a long time since I've been here in the last few months, and I have to take care of my wife.
"Huh? Isn't this Lao Xu? It's been a long time since I've seen you! β
A low, but very burly meat seller looked at Xu Mu who came and said in surprise.
"Recently, my wife has given birth to a child and has been staying at home!" Xu Mu said with a smile.
This man he met when he used to set up a stall here, his name was Du Mao.
"I see! Congratulations! Congratulations! β
Du Mao arched his hand towards Xu Mu and said hello.
"Thank you!"
Xu Mu returned the salute.
Then asked Du Mao to help him cut two catties of demon beast meat.
"Looks like you're getting rich! I'm willing to eat meat! β
Du Mao cut off a piece of rib meat with his hands and feet, hugged it with oiled paper and handed it to him.
When cutting the meat, Du Mao's left hand, which is missing three fingers, can be clearly seen.
"My wife just gave birth to a child, and I have to make up for it!"
Xu Mu took the meat, handed over a piece of lower grade spirit stone, and said goodbye and left.
Then I went to the stall where I bought spiritual rice, and spent four lower grade spirit stones to buy twenty catties of spiritual rice.
The two are put together, and there are a total of five lower grade spirit stones.
Placed in the past equal to half a month's income of him.
And these things, eat for seven or eight days at most.
I would never have dared to be so extravagant before.
Then Xu Mu walked to the stall selling talismans and bought five forbidden talismans.
This talisman reinforces the wall, and if attached to the door, it can form a forbidden force, making it difficult for people to open.
Buying the ban charm is mainly for Ye Yingying's safety.
When he is not at home, he also has a certain amount of self-preservation.
In addition to the forbidden talisman, he also bought three talismans, which were also left for Ye Yingying's talisman.
One of the forbidden charms is a lower-grade spirit stone, and two talismans are a lower-grade spirit stone, which together cost eleven pieces.
Counting the money to buy meat and spiritual rice, Xu Mu only had two lower grade spirit stones left in his hands.
"The spirit stone is really a flower!"
Xu Mu sighed in his heart.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw a stall selling books.
He stopped and walked over.
He is going to sell a few more spells and go back to cultivate, and if he encounters any crisis in the future, he can have more options to improve and deal with it.
[Fu Zheng Solution] [Longevity Formula] [Bigu Dan Detailed Explanation] [Thunder Swordsmanship] [Fire Spell Collection] [Qi Training Period Spell Collection] [Qi Training Period Breakthrough Summary] [Ten Precautions for Alchemists]......
These books all look bluffing, but in fact, they are all the most basic books, and they are a bit interesting when it comes to physical swordsmanship.
He used to be a regular visitor to the market, and I don't know how many times he had seen such a book.
Without wasting time on those miscellaneous books, Xu Mu directly picked up the [Qi Training Period Spell Collection].
"How much does this book cost?"
The book seller was a little old man with his nails buttoned, with a lot of age spots on his face, estimated to be in his nineties.
Hearing Xu Mu's words, he immediately stretched out five fingers.
"Five lower-grade spirit stones!"
Xu Mu didn't say anything, threw away the book, got up and left.
"Hey! Ay! Don't go! Negotiable! How about two pieces? A! A! No matter how low it is, you can't sell it! β
Hearing the old man say this, Xu Mu stopped and walked back.
The books on the old man's stall have already been sold out, if Xu Mu is not troublesome, he can find a monk he knew before and borrow a few books to read.
It's hard to refine just by reading books, and he doesn't know how many times he's been cheated before!
"I'm giving you two Bigu Dan, sell me this Thunder Sword Technique!"
"Holy! You're too picky, aren't you? Do you know how hard it is for me to copy a book? At least five! β
Copying books?
The devil believes in you!
Although there is no printing in this world, there is watermarking, and it doesn't take much time to copy a book, and the only trouble is binding.
"Two! If you don't sell it, forget it! β
"Sell, sell! When I meet you, the old man's pants will accompany him! β
The old man complained, but he was quick to collect things.
Xu Mu took the book, looked through it briefly, and after making sure that it was not damaged, he put it in the storage bag and left the market.
Fallen leaves blow in from the Baihe forest in the distance, paving the roads of the shantytowns to the brim and covering the foul-smelling excrement.
Fortunately, there are special people responsible for cleaning up in the market.
No one in the shantytown cares about such a thing, it is all consciously and voluntarily.
Therefore, it is inevitable that some monks who want to save trouble will throw garbage on the streets.
It's autumn, it's close to winter, the weather is getting cooler, and it's a little better, and if it's a hot summer, it's almost impossible to walk.
Fortunately, the people who live here are all cultivators, if it were a mortal, I am afraid that the plague would have broken out long ago.
"Actually, it's good to go to the mortal world!"
"It's justβ"
"I can't afford to pay the boat fare!"
The area where the Qinghe Sword Sect is located is mostly barren mountains and mountains.
It's not that the Qinghe Sword Sect also has any special habits, but only in these places can there be spiritual materials and aura.
And the areas inhabited by mortals are basically close to the center of the continent, where they have been completely developed, the spiritual energy is thin, and the spiritual materials are even rarer.
The only Lingshan Dachuan has long been occupied by the Gate Sect, and the Jindan Sect like the Qinghe Sword Sect can only come to this kind of remote place where birds don't, develop it by themselves, and experience it by themselves.
It is very difficult for cultivators in this kind of place to survive, and mortals will die.
So basically there are no mortals.
Everyone in this world can cultivate immortals, but there is a huge gap in talent between them.
A talent like Xu Mu, if it is in a mortal gathering area, there is no sect willing to accept it.
It is only in places like the Qinghe Sword Sect that they have been hardened into immortal cultivators, and those who can't be sharpened have all died.
The Qinghe Sword Sect is tens of thousands of miles away from the nearest mortal realm, and the light path fee costs ten medium-grade spirit stones.
So Xu Mu didn't even dare to think about it before.
Carefully dodging, unknown objects appeared on the ground from time to time, and Xu Mu soon arrived at the mouth of the alley where he lived.
It is a short distance from Baishifang City, in the middle of the shanty town.
From here, more than two or three miles away, there is the White River Forest.
Many monks make a living by entering the White River Forest, hunting demon beasts, collecting medicinal herbs, mining, and collecting resources.
In the entire Baishifang City, there are only a small number of people like Xu Mu who rely on alchemy for a living.
"Xu Daoyou, let's meet again!"
Sun Daocheng jumped out of a nearby alley and stopped in front of Xu Mu.
His hair was disheveled, his body was sloppy, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Sun Daoyou, don't mention it if it's still that!"
A hint of anger flashed in Xu Mu's eyes.
This old guy is really haunted.
"Xu Daoyou misunderstood, it was indeed me who was reckless and talking nonsense at that time! I'll apologize to you first! β
"No need! Don't bother me in the future, just do it! β
Xu Mu was about to leave, and Sun Daocheng stretched out his hand again to pull it down.
"Xu Daoyou, don't worry! It's a good thing that I'm looking for you this time! Sun Daocheng said with a smile.
"A good thing? What's good? β
Xu Mu frowned.
It was hard for him to imagine that a person like Sun Daocheng could have any good things!
"I recently met a big employer, and the other party wanted to invite me to refine a batch of chalcedony pills, but I was a little too busy to do it alone, so I wanted to ask you to come with me! I can give you two lower grade spirit stones a day, and the Danfang and Dan recipe of the Chalcedony Pill can also be handed over to you! β
The price offered by Sun Daocheng can be said to be extremely generous.
Not to mention the two lower grade spirit stones per day, the Dan Fang and Dan Jue alone are already worth a lot of money.
Chalcedony Pill is a second-order pill that improves cultivation qualifications and strengthens physical fitness, and it is much more precious than Qi Gathering Pill.
If it was placed in the past, as long as he gave Dan Fang and Dan Jue, he would be willing to let Xu Mubai do it.
But now,
The weasel greets the chickens for the New Year, what kind can they be.
"No need! I also have to take care of my wife and daughter at home! β
Xu Mu refused, walked past the other party and left quickly, leaving Sun Daocheng rare behind.
"This bastard! None of this is a bait! Sun Daocheng's eyes flashed with anger.
