Chapter 16, Shop the Stalls

The person who said it felt a little scared.

Those who listen to it also have a chill down their spine, as if they have heard the most terrible ghost story.

However, there are ghosts in the world, and they are not terrible.

What is terrible is that the human heart is sinister.

It can make Qi Yun, who has seen countless battles, feel a chill down his spine, the rules of the Immortal Ascension Conference are really ruthless enough.

Qi Yun began to scold his mother in his heart: I don't know which bastard who lacks heart and eyes can come up with this kind of rule, his mother is from Qinglou!

Are you sure that this is the Immortal Cultivator Sect selecting disciples, not the killer organization, selecting thugs?

It's simply not a son of man.

But scolding and scolding, Qi Yun also had to admire, these bastards' ideas are ruthless enough, and they don't have any real material to win, so don't even think about it.

It is definitely the fastest and easiest way to select the talents in the casual practice.

At this moment, the dense fog in front of them suddenly rolled up, and then, as if someone had been split with a knife, a path was carved out for the carriage to move forward.

The other end of the trail is endless, and it seems far away.

"Alright, let's go. The young man quickly walked out of the depressed mood just now, greeted Qi Yun happily, and rushed in happily.

Qi Yun also put the matter just now in his heart, cautiously looked at the path for a while, and did not notice any danger in the fog before stepping in.

Walk steadily, not in a hurry.

The road looked very long and thought it was far away. But after only a short walk, we reached the end of the road.

When Qi Yun walked out of the mist, what he could see was a verdant valley with green birds and flowers.

It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only the road he had come from, blocked by mist.

"At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and it is possible to pass through people, and it is ...... to repeat dozens of steps"

Somehow, he suddenly remembered these words, which were extremely appropriate for use here.

However, this is not a peach blossom paradise where chickens and dogs smell each other.

As far as the eye can see, there are large palace-style pavilions with carved railings and jade, and people in all kinds of strange costumes come and go, in and out.

And in the open space in front of the pavilion, there is a very wide bluestone square. There were many immortal cultivators who looked like small traders in the mortal world, and small stalls were set up around the square.

It is these small stalls that have fewer people to watch, fewer people to ask prices, and fewer transactions.

The stall economy is not good!

In other words, it was the first time Qi Yun had seen such immortal cultivators, and today could be regarded as officially entering the immortal cultivation realm, just like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, everything was new.

However, after being chased and killed by those people in the Heavenly Wolf Gate, the arrogance and arrogance of the top group of people in the martial arts who had just become the top group of people had disappeared.

In the mundane martial arts world, Qi Yun is already considered to be the top, and he can dominate one side with his strength and call for wind and rain.

But when he came to the world of cultivating immortals, he was a primary school student again.

Just like when he first joined the Wild Wolf Gang, an ordinary gang with a machete, there were too many people who could destroy him.

Arrogance must not be allowed, prudence is what he should do.

Glancing back at the path that had completely disappeared, Qi Yun raised his legs and walked towards the square.

The stalls of the immortal cultivators surrounded the wide square, and a zigzag path came out.

Those who choose to trade goods walk in twos and threes in the middle of the open space with stalls on both sides, coming and going, no different from the worldly business buying and selling.

If it weren't for the opening of the Heavenly Eye Technique, he could see that people were all containing spiritual light, and Qi Yun seemed to think that he had arrived at a mortal bazaar.

However, there are some differences from the mundane bazaar.

It was a little dark, but the square was brightly lit.

Most of the goods were already placed in front of him, and the huge lanterns of uniform style were already placed. The lantern display is made of bronze, and the whole body is antique, about three feet high.

On these lamps, instead of burning materials such as lamp oil, there is a fist-sized stone that emits a soft white light throughout.

The light emitted by these stones was much brighter than the oil of the lamps, illuminating the stalls under the lamps as if they were day.

Even the nearby roads are clearly visible.

Qi Yun thought thoughtfully, and found a pile of identical stones from the storage bag in his arms.

He remembered that this thing was called Moonstone, and there were several pieces in the separate residence of the Venerable Master of Changchun.

And the whole wild wolf gang, only he has it, and even Wu Yihe, the original gang leader, still uses an oil lamp.

At that time, when he went back to search, he found this thing and thought he had found a treasure. I've been preparing to find a suitable opportunity to sell to the rich and make a lot of money.

Now it seems that this is a big road goods, and it is not worth a few dollars.

Suddenly felt like a loss of 100 million.

Although it was getting late, there were many more people in the square than before, not only did some new stalls appear, but even the number of people visiting the stalls increased dramatically.

There were a large number of immortal cultivators, who poured in from somewhere, and this place was very lively for a while.

Is there such a distance between the mundane world and the immortal cultivation world, just like rural people and city people, the beginning of nightlife is when it gets late?

Qi Yun thought about it slowly, and felt that it was a little interesting, and he also felt very comfortable with it, after all, three years ago, he had often cultivated immortals.

Now, it's just a different group of people.

Around the stalls, he walked and watched.

He was a lover of books, and he would turn over the books he had captured from the enemy in his spare time. Fu seals, pills, herbs, ores, sundries, everything will be understood.

He could recognize a third of what was on the stall. If he had been given some more time, he might have been able to recognize more than half of it.

When he comes across something in his storage bag, he will also stop and ask the price to make an estimate of the value of his possessions.

"How do you sell this fireball talisman?"

"A piece of spirit stone, if you buy a dozen, I'll give you a nine-percent discount. The stall owner said without raising his head.

"Where's the Ice Pick Talisman?"

"One price, the low-level talisman seals on my stall, are all at this price. How many do you want to buy?"

Only then did Qi Yun know that it turned out that he threw out more than 20 talisman seals in one go that day, which was indeed a bit extravagant.

"How much is this pile of blank rune paper?"

The stall owner looked up, and he was a middle-aged man with a beard, probably older.

He glanced Qi Yun up and down, "A pile of blank rune paper, a spirit stone is enough." Are you sure you want to draw your own charms, though?

Young man, as a passer-by, I can tell you clearly. The success rate for beginners is not high.

The craft of drawing talismans, without a little bit of wealth as confidence, will only make you poorer and poorer the more you practice.

If you want to use the talisman seal against the enemy, buy it directly from me, which will save you money and trouble. ”

"Thanks, but I want to try, so I'll take it as a ticket. Qi Yun smiled politely, and picked out two stacks of blank rune paper from the boss's stall, a large bottle of fire rabbit demon beast blood.

In fact, drawing a rune seal also requires a talisman pen full of spiritual energy, as well as a town rune stone.

It's really just like the literati in the mundane world, the four treasures of the study, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are exactly the same. I don't know if there is any other relationship between the two.

Qi Yun paid the bill, and although the boss received the money, he still shook his head unnoticeably, as if to say in his heart: Another person fell into the big pit of drawing talismans.

As a person who has come over, he knows how difficult it is to learn a craft, and the spirit stones that need to be spent are not supported by a force, which can simply drag down an immortal cultivator.

Both spiritually and financially.

Qi Yun didn't know what the stall owner was thinking, and he also had a small abacus in his heart.

The benefits of using the talisman seal against the enemy, he has tasted the sweetness.

No matter how strong the enemy is, as long as he is still in the Qi training period, he throws the talisman seal over and keeps the enemy holding his head and running away.

However, this thing consumes too many spirit stones to buy the finished product, so it would be nice if you could make it yourself.

There are twenty blank talisman seals, two piles of forty seals, and a large bottle of fire rabbit demon beast blood is enough to draw forty or fifty pieces, and these materials are added together to sell three spirit stones.

According to the success rate of half of the total, three spirit stones can get twenty rune seals.

Counting the labor costs, the fixed asset costs of the rune pen and the town rune stone, the rune seal business is also profitable!

As a beginner, he doesn't expect too much, and he is very happy that he can draw one or two of these dozens of pictures.

Or rather, as long as he is a little more skilled, he is also satisfied. You can always succeed with a few hundred shots, right?

Proficiency is always to be improved slowly, and it is a gradual process.

When the time comes, he will be able to use the talisman seal, which is cheap and affordable, and full of energy.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Yun put those thoughts behind him again, calmed down and continued to browse the stalls.

Since he has killed seven immortal cultivators, the net worth of these people has also fallen into his hands.

Not to say that he is rich, but he can be regarded as the richer among the immortal cultivators of the same level.

For the elixir that can improve one's strength, or something that catches his eye, he will not blink his eyes when he spends a spirit stone.

No, a small stall in front of it was overwhelmed by the crowd watching the excitement.

Qi Yun also gathered around, and he didn't know what was going on inside, so he patted an old man on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, why is it so lively inside?"

The man glanced at the hand on his shoulder, and when he saw Qi Yun put it away, he explained impatiently:

"The stall owner has two talismans in his hand, one is a high-grade escape talisman, which can be used to immediately escape ten miles away, which is definitely a good thing to save his life.

The other is a medium-grade mire talisman, which can turn the horizontal and vertical ground into a mire that is difficult to walk inch, and it is also a rare talisman.

The stall owner's asking price is a bit expensive, we can't afford to see the excitement, the guy in front of me is bargaining with others!"

Qi Yun instantly understood when he heard it, no wonder!

There are four levels of spells, low, medium, upper, and top, which are basically divided according to the difficulty of the practice.

Qi Yun has only mastered some low-level spells now, such as fireball techniques, icicle techniques, and the like. Medium-level spells, he also tried to practice, but he hasn't mastered one yet.

The level of the rune seal is similar to the spell level, after all, the rune seal is to seal the spell in the medium of the rune seal.

When the user releases, there is no need to pinch the mantra.

You don't need to pinch the spell to recite the spell, which also means that you can achieve the effect of using this spell without having mastered it.

That lowers the threshold for using the sigil a lot, as long as you have the money to buy it.

Qi Yun used the ingenuity of his martial arts to pull away the crowd and squeeze in. The immortal cultivator who was picked up by him only felt that his body shook, and someone passed by.

The little thing of a martial artist is not completely useless in the immortal cultivation world.

The stall owner was a young man in his twenties, with his eyebrows joined together and two black wooden boxes tightly in his hands, arguing with someone.

And the buyer who argues with him is a man with a strong physique, a face full of meat, and he is not a master to be messed with at first glance.

"What I said, one hundred and twenty spirit stones from the Escape Talisman, you just told me today to break the sky, and you won't sell one less child. ”

"Boy, don't talk so badly. Your Escape Charm isn't really of the highest quality, and the person who drew it isn't skilled, resulting in a slight error.

What a subtle thing the rune seal is, the difference is a thousand miles. Who knows what unpredictable consequences will come from using your sigils?

If the escape is facing down, then you will bury yourself alive and become a suicide. ”

"How is it possible, if you want to escape so far underground, you can't connect with the masters of the Dan stage. Do you think my talisman is omnipotent?" The stall owner couldn't stand his slander, and his face turned red when he fought with him.

The people who eat melons looked at it and felt that what the buyers and sellers said was a little reasonable, but also a little biased.

Of course, it may not be as dangerous as the buyer says, but after all, there are some minor flaws, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

The burly man snorted coldly, and said, "Then let me say one more thing, your escape talisman is flawed, do you dare to guarantee that after using it, you will be able to escape in the direction you want?"

If something goes wrong and you run into the Jedi, you're killing yourself. So this thing isn't worth that much, eighty spirit stones, just ask if you sell it!"

What the burly man was worried about was actually what other immortal cultivators were worried about.

Although the vast majority of them have not used it, it does not prevent them from imagining.

What if he used this escape talisman to escape the pursuit of the enemy, and suddenly escaped himself to the Jedi.

Then it's really "stewed" yourself.

And the young man of the seller frowned, and raised his eyebrows, looking very hesitant.

The burly man pressed the price too hard, and his psychological price was one hundred and ten spirit stones, and it was not enough to make do with a hundred.

But eighty spirit stones are too low.

"I'll give you a hundred and twenty dollars, but I'll add that mid-grade mud talisman. ”

Everyone followed the sound to see who was sticking to it!

It was Qi Yun who spoke, he felt that both of these things were useful to him, and he could buy them with money.

Of course, he is not wronged, and bargaining is deserved.

Before the seller could speak, the buyer who gave out eighty spirit stones, the burly man, was already staring at him with a murderous gaze: "Boy, don't you know the rules, what is it for you to insert a bar?"
