Chapter 4 Buying and selling in the market is ridiculed
"Husband, be careful! Waiting for you to come back in person! ”
"Ping'er relax."
Early the next morning.
After admonishing his wife, Zhong Yan and Li Henian rode out of the city together.
There are few monks in mortal towns, and they all trade privately to exchange a small amount of resources.
If you want to buy materials, you have to go to Yangquan Town, which is 800 miles away from Qingyang City.
"When you go up for cultivation, you still have to change your residence."
With the system panel and the capital to continue cultivating, Qingyang City is no longer the best choice.
Otherwise, it is a long way to go back and forth, and it is easy to encounter accidents.
Even if Li Henian didn't mind, Zhong Yan didn't want to trouble his peers every time.
The two of them hurried up, because they carried more than half of their family wealth, they did not dare to rush to the night, and rested in the village for a night on the way, and arrived in front of Fang City on the second day.
Looking at the arched stone gate and the monks coming in and out, Zhong Yan felt quite emotional in his heart, he didn't expect to come to this place where the monks gathered so soon.
"The guard has been replaced, that person is called Ma Zhida, the eighth layer of Qi training, a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect, it seems that he still started at about the same time as you, can you know the virtuous brother?"
In front of the stone house next to the entrance of the market, there was a middle-aged man with lowered eyes and a sword in his hands.
Zhong Yan looked over and shook his head slightly.
The Huoyun Sect is a large sect of 10,000 people, and there are Jindan powerhouses in the gate.
Such an easy, oily and sufficient sect task as going to Fang City to be responsible for security is a treatment only for inner disciples, and it must have a relationship within the sect.
Settle the horses and pay the money.
The two of them walked forward.
"Ma Daoyou!" Li Henian greeted him.
Ma Zhida glanced at him, bowed his head slightly, and glanced at Zhong Yan, who was born.
"I've seen Senior Brother Ma! Zhong Yanchu settled in Qingyang City, and hoped that the senior brother would take more care of him in the future, and ask the senior brother to accept it with a smile. ”
Zhong Yan smiled and stepped forward to salute and handed over a small cloth bag.
Ma Zhida took it and pinched it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, there were three spirit stones in it.
It is very common for a low-level outer disciple with poor qualifications like Zhong Yan to leave the sect and go down the mountain to settle down, and when he encounters the current situation, he will offer some gifts and seek care in a 'verbal sense'.
It's an unwritten rule.
But it's usually a spirit stone, and many times it's just some low-level pills, talismans and the like.
After all, most of these disciples were in the early stage of qi refining, and they couldn't accumulate any resources.
Ma Zhida turned his palm and accepted the gift, his face softened and looked at it squarely.
"It is difficult to cultivate and progress, and it is a wise choice to return to the mundane in time."
"That's what Senior Brother said."
"Remember not to fight and make trouble in the market, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering my former friendship!"
"That's natural, I won't cause trouble to my senior brother, so I won't bother."
Bidding farewell, Zhong Yan and Li Henian walked into Fang City.
The main road is more than three zhang wide, paved with bluestone slabs, and the neat pavements on both sides extend to the end of the field of vision, and the figures are like weaving.
Don't look at Yangquan Town, but the daily passenger flow of Fang City is stable at more than 1,000 people, and the monks of Qingyang City and the surrounding cities and market towns all gather here to buy and sell resources.
And the shops here are from the three sects headed by the Huoyun Sect, and some large and small immortal cultivation families.
The security in the city is very high, and few monks dare to make trouble here, and there are only a handful of dead people since its founding.
Walk hundreds of meters.
Li Henian said in a low voice: "It is said that Ma Zhida is a fellow practitioner of immortal martial arts, the martial arts realm has reached the late stage of congenital stage, and his combat power is comparable to the peak of qi refining, and he has only been on duty for half a year, thinking that he has a strong backer in the Huoyun Sect, and the virtuous brother has a good relationship with him, and he can do a lot of convenience......"
Zhong Yan is the head of the head, practicing martial arts and cultivating immortals, and he is about the same age as himself, at least with the qualifications above the three spirit roots.
The two of them walked all the way to the place where the retail households on West Street were located, and there were stalls on both sides of the street, exercises, pills, magic weapons, and animal skins......
There are all kinds of selling, and the cries of selling come and go, and it is noisy and chaotic compared to the main road.
Finding an empty space in the corner, Zhong Yan spread out the cloth mat, took out all the talismans and set them up, and set up the prepared cardboard.
"Brother Xian, sell it first, and my brother will go back when he goes." After accompanying him for a while, Li Henian had his own way beforehand.
"Okay."
There are forty-four talismans in total, and more than half of them are inferior goods made in the past.
Originally, it was more convenient to buy materials and recycle them to everyone's store.
However, the next time he made a move, it would be a first-order mid-grade talisman, and it would be more secure to wait until he broke through the fourth layer of qi refining.
At the time of the two incense sticks, several waves of guests stepped forward and saw that it was written on the cardboard that they wanted five spirit stones to be packed together, and after asking, there was no room for discussion and retreated.
"Yo, isn't this Senior Brother Zhong! Why did you get to Yangquanfang City? ”
Two monks, a man and a woman, dressed in Huoyun Sect costumes, walked over, and the man looked playful, pretending to say suddenly:
"Oh, I heard that you have left the sect and entered the mortal world to enjoy happiness! Also, it's been almost twenty years since the third layer of Qi refining, and it should have been like this a long time ago! ”
The sound was quite loud, attracting the surrounding vendors and passers-by.
This person's name is Chen Lianping, he has a sixth-level cultivation of Qi cultivation, and he has a sister who is a backer in the inner gate, and he is a little arrogant among the disciples of the outer gate.
Just because he had a conflict with another disciple a few years ago, Zhong Yan, who was present at the time, did not stand up to help speak, so he had a suspicion, and he had to ridicule and ridicule every time they met.
"Senior Brother Chen is taught!" Zhong Yan smiled all over his face, got up and arched his hand, "I've seen Senior Sister!" ”
Every time he punched the cotton, Chen Lianping glanced at Zhong Yan, his eyes swept to the talisman on the ground, and squatted down to play with it.
"I'm embarrassed to sell this kind of garbage...... The quality of these cards is so-so. ”
As he spoke, he picked up three talismans that he had refined later, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"How? You should be filial to your brother! Zhong Yan smiled.
"You're interested." Chen Lianping sneered and left with the female monk, still saying "A rat gall, really embarrassing the Fire Cloud Sect ......"
The scattered cultivators around them retracted their gazes, and some of them shook their heads secretly, not knowing whether it was aimed at Chen Lianping or Zhong Yanming.
Zhong Yan's face was calm, as if he was not affected in the slightest.
At this time, Li Henian returned: "Brother Xian, how is it?" ”
Zhong Yan shook his head, "I guess it will take some time." ”
"Li Daoyou!" A monk who had been passing by before shouted.
Li Henian turned his head, was a familiar Taoist friend, and stepped forward to reminisce about the past.
After whispering, after learning what happened before, Li Henian looked at Zhong Yan, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart: It's really a birthday star who hangs himself, and he has a long life!
Outsiders don't know, but he knows Zhong Yan's fine temperament, don't look at the usual smiling faces, he is very easy to get along with, but he is a bold and ruthless person.
I'm really going to be annoyed, no matter if you practice qi on the sixth floor, you still have an inner sister, you can kill it!
At the beginning, he had witnessed with his own eyes that Zhong Yan even dared to plot to kill the seventh-layer inner disciple of Qi Refining who had Elder Zhuji as the backstage.
Back in front of the stall, Li Henian asked carefully.
Zhong Yan shook his head and smiled: "Little things, a few talismans, a little verbal sarcasm, it's not painful." ”
In fact, in his heart, Chen Lianping is already a dead man, don't meet him next time.
Forget it once or twice, and every time you come to laugh, the clay figurines also have three points of anger.
In the past, he may have forbearance, but now that he has a panel, he will be promoted to cultivation, and killing him will be like slaughtering a dog!
"Hey~" Li Henian chuckled, "Such a stupid person, I don't think he will live for a few years, and I don't want to think about how you can be an ordinary person if you can be stable in the outer gate of the Huoyun Sect for so many years." ”
The iron-beaten Huoyun Sect, the outer disciple of the flowing water.
Either ascend the realm and enter the inner gate, or go out to experience the death of the body, and the rest of the sect will go down the mountain.
There are really few outer disciples like Zhong Yan who have stayed for so long without accidents.
Until the sun goes down.
Zhong Yan lowered the price to four spirit stones before he packaged and sold all the talismans.
Subsequently, the two found a small shop and bought ten medium-grade talisman materials, and found an inn to live in.
