Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ice Jade Palm (Eighth Update)
Tongbao Pavilion.
The small shop had a small front door, but the interior was decorated in an antique style, with a young man in a long shirt sitting behind the counter, in his early thirties, with a smile on his face.
"Welcome!" He raised his hand slightly and made a gesture of invitation, which made people feel like a spring breeze, "What does Childe want?" ”
At this time, Li Shuidao was still wearing a seeping bamboo mask on his face.
The shopkeeper completely ignored this and greeted him warmly with a smile on his face.
Li Shuidao took out a Qinglin coin from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "I want to exchange this thing for spirit stones." ”
The shopkeeper took the Qinglin coin and fumbled for a while, and then said with a smile: "Of course, two hundred Qinglin coins in this store can be exchanged for a spirit stone." ”
Hearing this price, Li Shuidao hesitated slightly, and then said: "I have two thousand Qinglin coins, can I exchange two more spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The profit of this store is meager, so don't lower the price anymore." ”
"Okay then......" Despite being a little disappointed, Li Shuidao still agreed to the price, after all, there are ten spirit stones in exchange, and if you don't change it, it will be a pile of waste paper.
After the exchange was completed, Li Shuidao left Tongbao Pavilion with ten spirit stones in his arms and came to the dark street of the dark market.
The golden-faced Langjun wearing a grimace mask was waiting for him on the street.
"Master, I changed ten spirit stones, and the shopkeeper may have seen that my cultivation was low, and the price was too ruthless." Li Shuidao said regretfully.
"It's this market, you give me more, maybe he can give you some discounts."
"Is 2,000 Qinglin coins still less?"
The golden-faced Langjun shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly: "Of course it's less, Tongbao Pavilion is a big business with hundreds of thousands of jade coins, and a small business like yours can only be regarded as toothpick meat." ”
"Don't look at the small number of people here, but every store will not open for three years, and it will be open for three years." The golden-faced Langjun introduced as he walked.
The difference between the dark market and the fang market is obvious, and it is by no means as simple as the difference between the owners.
Fang Market is like a supermarket for cultivating immortals opened by the Five Poisons Gate, full of all kinds of mysterious items and treasures.
The dark market, on the other hand, resembles a wholesale market, where many unknown chambers of commerce and family power set up a centralized trading base.
Fang market model: "sect forces" are oriented to "monks".
Dark Market Mode: A place where "Clan Forces" and "Mystery Chamber of Commerce" are exchanged.
In the dark market, you can't see the stalls, and you can't see the casual cultivators shouting.
This is a completely different business model, the Dazhong Chamber of Commerce and the Xiuxian family, under the protection of the Five Poisons Gate Law Enforcement Hall, have joined hands to create a wholesale market, where large-scale transactions are carried out.
Whether it's a bulk cargo or a small business with some retail investors, they can find the right trading partner here.
Even the golden-faced Langjun, who has been hinting at duty all the year round, does not fully understand the more than 50 shops.
For example, the Miaoyin Pavilion.
The singing above the attic is wonderful, and the sound of the piano echoes in the ears, but even if the golden-faced Langjun has been on duty here for so many years, he doesn't know anything about their livelihood.
There were only fifty shops in the entire dark market, and the two of them quickly walked around.
Return to the Five Dragons Tower.
The golden-faced Langjun took Li Shuidao to the basement.
The Dark Market is already located in a dark and dark place, so the basement is as dim as the ground, and when the oil lamp is lit, the basement is even brighter.
On the rammed earth and stone walls, the walls are covered with weapons, and the cold and glistening ice blades reflect the floating firelight, reflecting an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
The golden-faced Langjun took Li Shuidao to a small secret room.
"Upstairs has ears on the partition wall, or this underground secret room is relatively secret, you are here to comprehend the "Ice Jade Palm"." The golden-faced Langjun took out a cyan scripture book from the storage bag and handed it to Li Shuidao.
"Ice Jade Palm" is one of the three stunts of the teacher, it is based on ice, contains the power of ice and snow, and has both offensive and defensive ......"
Li Shuidao took the scriptures and listened to the master's interpretation while flipping through them.
"Ice is invisible, jade is qualitative, and the palm is as sharp as ice. The internal strength is condensed, the cold is pressing, and the attack on the enemy is all shocking......"
After the golden-faced Langjun explained the cultivation tips of the Ice Jade Palm in simple terms, he stood up and said: "The auction will start in ten days, and after you participate in the auction, you must return to the cave mansion immediately, after all, the cave mansion cannot be guarded by no one." ”
"Disciple understands."
"You have ten days to comprehend this Dao method, although it is impossible to practice the Ice Jade Palm in such a short time, but it is enough to familiarize yourself with the entire content of this Dao book, and you can't take the Dao book with you...... If you are sleepy, you can rest here, and when you are hungry, you will go to the restaurant to ask for some food, I have already said hello, you don't need to give money. ”
"Thank you, Master." Li Shuidao said with his fists clenched.
There is only a pearl of the night in the dark secret room.
Li Shuidao repeatedly studied the Taoist book in his hand, and although he had participated in the "Ice Heart and Blue Water Sword" for a long time, although it ultimately failed, it gave him the experience of practicing similar exercises.
"Ice Jade Palm" can only be cultivated by toads and toads, and compared to "Ice Heart and Blue Water Sword", which is a completely unrelated exercise, "Ice Jade Palm" is more suitable for him to practice.
Perhaps it was the accumulation of months of "Ice Heart and Blue Water Sword" that was all used here, Li Shuidao's cultivation was extremely smooth, only seven or eight days later, a thin layer of frost condensed on his palms, and the power of ice and cold covered his palms, which marked that he had already entered the "Ice Jade Palm" exercise.
I'm getting started, and I'm dead......
"Ice Jade Palm" really can't be performed at the same time as "Toad Hard Qigong".
In addition, this ice jade palm is not powerful now, whether it is martial arts or Taoism, practice is practice, practice is practice, practice is practice.
There is no deep skill, but it is all showcase.
Greed can't chew too much, killing people doesn't need a thousand strange moves, endless Taoism, only a sufficiently profound karmic art.
"Ice Jade Palm" and "Toad Hard Qigong" can't be performed at the same time, then this exercise is of little value to him, and the biggest value is to understand the memory and give it to the family for others to practice.
Li Shuidao is currently the following:
The defense is "Toad Hard Qigong".
The movement is "Frog Migration".
The treatment is "Water Moon Flowing Pearl"
These three exercises have all been grafted into his major practice system, as long as his cultivation mana progresses, the power of these three exercises will naturally increase, and there is no need to spend time on deliberate cultivation at all.
On the surface, he still lacks a means of attack, but attacking, in fact, does not need to cultivate the Dao method, and can be completely replaced by a magic weapon.
Especially after the monks have cultivated to a higher level, the endless magic weapons can completely replace martial arts and Taoism, and even supernatural powers.
In the current situation, the magic weapon "Qinglin Shear" is enough to make up for his attack shortcomings, and there is no need to spend time practicing a "Ice Jade Palm" that conflicts with "Toad Hard Qigong".
Focus on the main exercises, and the extra time would rather go to alchemy.
After figuring out this stubble, Li Shuidao was no longer interested in Shenwu "Ice Jade Palm", so he decisively left the basement.
Five Dragons.
Ground floor hall.
Li Shuidao took the initiative to say when he saw the golden-faced Langjun: "Master, I really have some difficulties in comprehending "Ice Jade Palm", and I want to go out for a spin. ”
The golden-faced Langjun smiled and nodded: "You can go at will, there is no forced buying and selling here, and the merchants are very reputable and will not deceive customers." But remember, you can't play tricks on others, otherwise you will have to deal with it impartially as a teacher. ”
"Master, rest assured." Li Shuidao turned around and walked out of the room.
