After Xu Dao left the stone house, he noticed a cold feeling in the air after a while, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly quickened his steps and walked out of the place where the Taoist children lived.

After walking away completely, Xu Dao looked back and saw a little ghost fire coming out of the ground, and then floating on the stone slabs, lined up, and drifted silently towards the stone houses.

Xu Dao's gaze moved down, and he clearly saw these ghost fires drifting by, and there were trails of dragging water on the ground, as if someone was walking wet.

Xu Dao didn't dare to observe too much, he tightened the Taoist robe on his body, and then led the two skeletons to the dormitory in the White Bone Temple.

The dormitory is a courtyard that is responsible for supervising the rules, inspecting the Quartet, and receiving foreign affairs in the White Bone Temple, and is also called the "bureaucracy".

When Xu Dao went down the mountain, he received the task in the dormitory, and now he still needs to go to hand over it again, and by the way, he will receive the money he deserves.

Fortunately, there are people sitting in the dormitory at twelve o'clock a day, Xu Dao is not in a hurry, he turns around seven times and eight times in the view, and only after half an hour does he enter a palace of black bricks and white tiles.

Xu Dao did not go to the brightly lit halls in the middle, but silently entered a dim small hall.

It was about half an hour before he led the bone skeleton out of the hall.

The task Xu Dao received three months ago was to help the Taoists in the temple deliver letters, the task was not difficult, but it was time-consuming and laborious, and it often took three to five months to get off the mountain.

This kind of task delays cultivation, and there are not many people who receive it, but the reward is also relatively rich, which is in line with Xu Dao's previous thoughts.

He walked out of the dormitory and secretly touched his sleeve pocket.

Xu Dao now has a total of twelve talisman coins in his hand, three of which are original savings, three are routine coins that have not been received in three months, and the rest are task rewards and a talisman coin collected from the dead.

This money is placed in the Taoist boy, which is already a small asset.

In addition, Xu Dao still has a red-eyed fox in his hand, and when he takes it to the ghost market and sells the skin and meat, he should be able to get a few new talismans.

With these talismans, Xu Dao's next retreat practice was also guaranteed.

Combing, his heart was emotional, and he hurriedly led the skeleton to the trading place in the view.

Xu Dao was already a little impatient to retreat, and then break through to the Qi Refining Realm in one fell swoop!

In a gray mist, he walked around and slowly walked into a dark street.

As soon as he entered the street, the fog became steeply thicker, and Xu Dao could see a lot of people coming and going around him, walking around his legs and feet in the fog, ethereal and gloomy, but he couldn't tell how many people were around.

This is the place where the Taoist children and Taoists in the White Bone Temple traded privately, the "ghost market".

It is only open at night, and no one knows how long this foggy street is, only that everyone who comes and goes is ghostly, silent, and even haunted by spirits and ghosts from time to time.

Many pale Daoists walked past Xu Dao one after another, all with wooden faces, as if they were wearing a mask.

Xu Dao also had a wooden face at this time, swaying in the street like a dead man.

"Hee-hee!"

Suddenly, Xu Dao's ears sounded the strange sound of a boy's laughter, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a gray shadow fluttering.

It was a crow that flew by with a boy's head in its mouth, and the head under the crow's mouth continued to laugh until it finally disappeared into the mist.

"It's not surprising that this is a ghost market. Xu Dao suppressed the shock in his heart and continued to walk through the streets.

He walked with his head down, and the two skeletons beside him followed suit, which brought much more horror to others.

Humble stalls are placed on both sides of the street, and the things traded on them include medicinal gui, talismans, ores, plants and trees, as well as monster bones, furs and other things.

It's not the first time Xu Dao has been here, but he is still amazed when he sees all kinds of things on the stalls.

Because he was carrying a red-eyed white fox, many Taoists also paid attention to him and stared at the fox in his hand, but the Taoists were silent, and no one intercepted him for questioning.

Along the way, Xu Dao saw a lot of spiritual materials that could be used as runes. But although these things have spirituality, they are only fetal breath-level materials, and they are only suitable for Dao children in the fetal breath realm, or for drawing fetal breath-level talismans.

And when Xu Dao came to the ghost market this time, what he wanted most was a spiritual material of the qi refining level, which could be used to make rune ink for qi refining spells.

After he got the Characterless Urn, he tried it many times, and faintly felt that if he wanted to condense the runes, the Qi refining level rune ink was indispensable.

If he only used the Fetal Breath level rune ink, he might get stuck in the last step of the condensation rune.

And Xu Dao has always been brave and diligent in his cultivation, and he doesn't want to detain and search anymore, and even delay the time, causing a big mistake.

Suddenly, Xu Dao paused his feet and looked at something on a certain stall, "Ghost-faced scorpion venom!"

The dark black liquid was contained in a three-inch-tall jade bottle, sinking and motionless as metal, slowly releasing a breathtaking glow.

This kind of venom has been said by others, as long as ordinary people are scratched by this venom, their organs will rot and suppurate within three breaths and die.

If you use this venom to draw a talisman, the poison talisman made can easily poison a demon beast in the Qi Refining Realm. If the person who draws the talisman is not careful, it is very likely that he will be poisoned to death.

In addition, Xu Dao glanced at the other things on the stall, and suddenly breathed heavily: "Three-step snake bones, golden beetle weasel body fluids, canine teeth of corpses, red cloud pine resin......"

Most of the things on this stall are actually Qi refining grade materials!

One of the materials called "Red Cloud Pine Resin" is extremely suitable as rune ink, as long as cinnabar is mixed into it and ground evenly, it can be used to make most of the qi refining grade charms.

Xu Dao stood in front of the stall and bowed slightly, pointed to the red cloud pine resin, and said, "I've seen the Taoist, may I ask what is the price of this thing?"

The stall owner was recuperating with his eyes closed, his face tattooed with strange runes twisted like tadpoles, from his forehead to his cheeks to his neck.

This person has a deep temperament, and most of the materials on the stall are at the level of qi refining, so he must be a Taoist disciple at the level of qi refining.

The stall owner heard the sound and opened his eyes slowly. Xu Dao looked over, and suddenly his gaze was slightly sluggish, and he actually saw the runes in the other party's eyes.

The whites of this person's two eyes are all covered with rune veins like bloodshots, densely packed like fine insects, which is quite strange and penetrating.

"Is this stall owner from the Fu Courtyard?" Xu Dao speculated in his heart.

The stall owner didn't speak, just held out two fingers in reply. His fingers were also covered in runes.

Xu Dao saw it and groaned, "Twenty talisman coins?"

The stall owner nodded.

Seeing the other party's answer, Xu Dao's mood suddenly sank, and he asked about the other materials on the stall, and suddenly found that as long as the materials on the stall were Qi refining level, the price was not less than fifteen talismans.

If Xu Dao had to buy Qi refining grade rune ink, it was estimated that he would have to find a way to see if he could buy some leftovers.

He frowned secretly, "What if I buy some leftovers and can't even finish a complete rune by then?"

And even if he sold the red-eyed white fox again and spent money to buy a qi-refining grade rune ink, his retreat would become a problem again after that.

The ashram used for solitary practice in the White Bone Temple also needs to be rented.

Xu Dao pinched his sleeve pocket, and suddenly felt the poverty of being a mere Taoist child.

Just as he was struggling, an exclamation suddenly came from Xu Dao's side......
