Chapter 12: The Journey

In the name of going home to visit relatives, Zhu Youdao said goodbye to Master Zheng's family and left Vientiane City.

But he did not return to Langya Mountain, but got on the flying boat of the Vientiane Chamber of Commerce.

The territory of this world is vast and boundless, not to mention overseas and wild regions, and the area controlled by human monks alone is divided into ninety-nine states. And Yunzhou, which is only one of them, has an area that is not less than the area of the earth in the previous life.

For low-level monks, it is very inconvenient to travel, not to mention the vast area and sparsely populated, and many places are still very dangerous. Therefore, between the various monk gathering areas, there are floating flying boats of the Chamber of Commerce.

The flying boat departs from the MixC, flies around the territory of Yunzhou, and then returns to the Mixc, during which it will pass through nearly 100 Xiuzhenfang cities.

Zhu Youdao is preparing to convert spirit runes into spirit stones in these markets, and by the way, buy the elixirs, refining materials, talisman materials, and so on needed in cultivation.

Of course, ordinary people are reluctant to take a flying boat to run around, and the boarding fee of ten spirit stones between every two fang markets is not cheap, but for Zhu Youdao now, ten spirit stones are drizzling, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, and sightseeing on the flying boat is not bad, so it is considered to go out on a trip.

The flight route of the flying boat is a safe area that has been explored for many years, and there are no particularly dangerous monsters, so the flying boat is thick and strong, and the load capacity is super strong, and there are not only warehouses on it, but also rooms for passengers to live in. But in terms of flight speed, it is far inferior to the flying magic weapon.

Ten days later, the flying boat landed in Panyun Shanfang City, which is the first Fang City after leaving the Vientiane City, the flying boat will load and unload goods, will stay here for a day, and continue on the road the next morning.

Zhu Youdao got off the boat and followed the flow of people into Fang City. Naturally, this place cannot be compared with Vientiane City, there is only one main street, and the shops along the street are controlled by various sects and big families, and a stall area is also left for casual cultivation.

First of all, he walked around Panyunfang City, and then went to the stall area for a long time, and when he came out, he already knew almost everything about Panyunfang City, such as which shop had the most complete goods, which shop had a fair price, and which shop shopkeeper was the most black, etc., he was clear.

Then, Zhu Youdao entered an inconspicuous shop on the street, and it is said that the shopkeeper here is one of the blackest shopkeepers in the market.

Then the two sides began to perform, Zhu Youdao was first "inadvertently" tricked out to be a junior of a talisman maker, and then accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, and he secretly took a batch of spirit talismans to sell while the elders were not paying attention.

The treacherous and cunning black-hearted shopkeeper naturally wanted to lower the price, of course, in order to trick the young man into continuing to take some inconspicuous little things from the elders to sell, he didn't lower the price too hard.

This is also Zhu Youdao's purpose, if you want to establish a channel that can ship for a long time, it is worth losing some profits. After all, if one of the goods is unknown and the other is black-hearted to lower the price, neither party will publicize the content of the transaction, and the result is naturally that both parties are very satisfied with the results of the transaction.

When he came out of the black-hearted shopkeeper's shop, Zhu Youdao already had three hundred spirit stones on his body. This amount is just right, which will not attract attention, but also ensure Zhu Youdao's shipments.

With the same means, Zhu Youdao sold a batch of spirit runes in the other two shops, and purchased a batch of talismans and refining materials in the stall area, after all, he made talismans very quickly, and the consumption of materials was also very fast.

After doing all this, Zhu Youdao boarded the flying boat and waited to continue on the road.

Zhu Youdao has his own single room on the flying boat, and his daily cultivation naturally did not fall, after completing the daily Tongzigong cultivation and the cultivation of the Five Elements Qi Induction Technique, Zhu Youdao first refined a magic weapon, which is still a flying knife, but now his refining skills have been greatly improved, and he can already carve two runes on the flying knife: sharp and tough.

The price of this flying knife with two runes is around fifty spirit stones, but the cost has not increased, and the profit is already very considerable.

In the middle, I passed by two more markets, and the flying boat landed on Yulou Mountain.

Yulou Mountain is the territory of the Chen family, that is, the family where Master Zheng's family was before, and there is a Fang Market opened by the Chen family on the mountain.

The Chen family is famous in Yunzhou for their talisman making, and Zhu Youdao did not sell spirit talismans in Yulou Mountain in order not to cause trouble. It's just that after buying a few bottles of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan in a store that specializes in pills, he handed over a spirit stone in the stall area and rented a stall for a day to sell the magic weapons he refined.

On the flying boat, his revealed identity is a trader. There are many small traders running around like this in the casual cultivation, and Zhu Youdao is not afraid of attracting attention.

After another two months, Zhu Youdao took a flying boat to the Jinghu area, which is a huge lake, and there is a big island in the center of the lake, and there is a Jinghufang city on the island.

In recent months, Zhu Youdao's pocket has been enriched a lot, and he has used pills to assist his cultivation every day, and with Tong Zigong reaching the second level, his cultivation speed has increased a little, and the cultivation results of a few months are not inferior to those of the past three years. Especially in the last few days, he felt that the mana in his body was full of agitation, which was a sign that he was about to advance. He has been in the second layer of qi training for more than four years, and now he is about to reach the third layer of qi training.

There was no spiritual vein on the flying boat, and it was easy to have an accident when breaking through, so Zhu Youdao decided to stay on Jinghu Island for a while, planning to wait for the third layer of qi training before going on the road.

So he missed this flying boat and rented a small building with a spiritual vein on Jinghu Island, and lived in peace of mind.

The time for the formation of Jinghu Fang City is only more than 100 years, originally a few scattered cultivators settled here, these scattered cultivators settled here, married and had children, and after several generations, five or six small Xiuzhen families were formed, and they jointly founded Jinghu Fang City, attracting more and more scattered cultivators to settle down.

The spiritual veins of Jinghu are only of the second grade, and the highest cultivation is only in the foundation building period, so Jinghufang City is far less prosperous than the Fang City opened by big families such as Yulou Mountain.

After Zhu Youdao lived here, in order to wait for a breakthrough in cultivation, he lived a very leisurely life, he adjusted his mentality very peacefully, and just practiced Tongzigong every day, meditated and practiced qi, and then had nothing to do, read and study, and went to the lake to fish. Even the refiners and talismans were put down for the time being.

On this day, Zhu Youdao had nothing to do, basking in the sun in the courtyard of the rented small building, when someone suddenly visited.

It was the next-door neighbor, an elegant middle-aged man, Zhu Youdao had met each other a few times, but he had not communicated.

"My name is Liu Xiu, I live next door, I don't know what to call my friend?"

Zhu Youdao said in his heart, fortunately, you are not surnamed Wang, otherwise you will definitely be beaten out. He is a businessman, and when a guest comes to visit, he naturally greets him with a smile: "Under the surname Zhu, Zhu Lin has seen Taoist friends." ”

He walked outside, using the name of his previous life, so as not to make enemies with anyone and leave his heels.

"It turned out to be Zhu Daoyou, I saw you live here a few days ago, I wanted to come to visit, but I was afraid of being abrupt, today I saw that Daoyou is so leisurely, so I came to get to know you, if you are disturbed, please don't be surprised!"

Zhu Youdao said with a smile: "Don't bother, I was about to meet my friends around me, Liu Daoyou came in to talk!"

The two sat down on a rattan chair in the courtyard, and Zhu Youdao took out the tea leaves and brewed them.

Liu Xiudao: "It just so happens that I know all the people who live nearby, so I'll introduce Zhu Daoyou to another day!"

Zhu Youdao poured Liu Xiu a cup of tea, and the two chatted.

Liu Xiu claimed to be a disciple of the Liu family in Zilu Mountain, and because he failed to practice, he was sent to run a family shop in Xiaojing Lake, and was the shopkeeper of a spiritual plant shop here.

Many families are like this, the core children with good spiritual roots stay in the family to practice, and those with poor spiritual roots are sent out to run the family business.

The Liu family of Zilushan is good at spiritual plants, so most of the family business is related to spiritual plants.

Spiritual planting is a kind of cultivation of the hundred arts, to put it bluntly, he is a farmer among cultivators, and he is good at planting all kinds of spiritual objects.

Don't look down on farmers, farmers in the cultivation realm have always been a very popular profession. The spiritual rice and spiritual fruit they planted can increase their cultivation when eaten, and the effect is not inferior to that of elixir, and there is no erysipelas, the effect is milder; spiritual herbs are even more versatile, and spiritual wood is also very important in refining and other fields.

Hearing that the other party was the shopkeeper of the Lingzhi shop, Zhu Youdao's eyes lit up, and he planned to make a good acquaintance, his first-order low-grade talisman carving was enough, and he was trying to refine the engraving of the first-order middle-grade spirit rune, but because there was no first-order middle-grade spirit wood, he tried several times and failed.

During this period of time, every time he passed through a market, he had to search for first-order mid-grade spirit wood, but he had never gained anything. Since this Liu Xiu in front of him is the shopkeeper who deals in this kind of items, he must not be disappointed.

But Zhu Youdao was also able to hold his breath and never mentioned it, just making friends wholeheartedly.
