Chapter 139 - Procurement Needs
"This fellow Daoist seems to be a little strange. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" a monk on duty bowed his head and muttered.
Jiang Li and Han Lingshu glanced at each other, said to the monk on duty, handed over some spirit stones, and the two monks on duty did not feel embarrassed anymore, registered for Jiang Li and the two, and the two of them successfully entered Zhangyan City.
"These five hundred spirit stones, but you owe me. After entering the city, Jiang Li counted the extra spirit stones on Han Lingshu's head.
"You made me like this, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" Han Lingshu was obviously very concerned about Jiang Li's "disguise" for her.
The two wandered around the market for a while, and then found a place to stay, named Jing Yaxuan. Jiang Li asked the shopkeeper, the lowest price of the room here is 200 spirit stones per month, if it is a single door and a single courtyard, it needs more than 800 spirit stones per month.
However, now that Jiang Li has obtained the goods of the Five Elements Scattered People in his hands, he naturally didn't take this point of spirit stone to heart, and reported his name at will, rented a single courtyard, and 1,000 spirit stones per month, so he paid for the house for three months first, and then looked at Han Lingshu who was standing aside.
Han Lingshu didn't have a spirit stone with him, so he went to Jiang Li's small courtyard, looking like he should be.
Jiang Li didn't bother with her, but asked Han Lingshu to agree, not to make noise, otherwise he would sweep her out of the house.
Han Lingshu immediately nodded in agreement.
After handling it properly, a handyman led the two to the small courtyard.
said that it was a small courtyard, but it was actually not big, compared to Fan Dongmu's house, it was even smaller, but fortunately, the hall and room were all available, Jiang Li naturally picked the main room on the right side of the living room, and left a small room on the left for Han Lingshu.
"This seems to be the room of the next person. Han Lingshu looked at her room with a reluctant expression.
Jiang Li made a gesture of "please" outside the door, and said lightly: "Han Daoyou, please." ”
Han Lingshu immediately sat on the edge of the bed, looked around, and nodded, "This is actually quite good." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Li returned to his room and thought about his next plan.
"The blackfriar is meticulous and powerful, what he saw that day is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is still unknown how many strongholds he has in secret. ”
Jiang Li thought for a while, and felt that he was still a little reckless in Chongshan Temple before, his own cultivation had only just entered the late stage of Qi cultivation, if the black-clothed monk had set up manpower at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to retreat safely.
"It's better to raise the cultivation first. ”
Jiang Li now has a lot of spirit stones in his hands, but he doesn't have time to cultivate, and now he is going to find trouble with the black-clothed monk, it seems that his strength is not enough, and he is being targeted by Wang Yuezong and Xu Meirou, so it is better to cultivate first, and it will be easy to deal with it in the future.
"It's not okay to sit and eat empty, this talisman making business has to be done. Jiang Li took out the talisman pen, looked left and right, and felt that the grade of this pen was too low, and now it was a bit difficult to refine the first-order high-grade talisman, and it needed to be replaced.
Without further ado, Jiang Li made a decision, and did not delay any longer, and immediately set off to the market to buy some talisman materials and cultivation pills.
was about to go out, Han Lingshu followed.
"Jiang Li, where are you going?" Han Lingshu straightened out her clothes and appearance, no longer the embarrassed appearance she had before.
"Go to the market and buy something. Jiang Li said casually.
"You are not familiar with life, I will accompany you, lest you spend more unjust spirit stones. Han Lingshu patted her chest and said.
"You're not worried about being recognized?"
"If you come, you will be safe, if you are bumped into by someone, there is no way, you can't keep hiding. Han Lingshu said, thought for a while, with a treacherous smile on her face: "The spirit stone I saved for you will be regarded as paying off the spirit stone I owe you, and it will be used as the room fee!"
It turned out that Han Lingshu had this idea.
Jiang Li smiled, didn't speak, and went out of the door, his spirit stone was not picked up, so naturally he would not be easily black-hearted by the shopkeeper.
"Jiang Li, if you don't speak, I can say yes to you. Han Lingshu chased after him.
The two walked for a while, Jiang Li casually entered a shop, and immediately a small guy stepped forward to entertain him, and this little guy vaguely also had the intention of testing Jiang Li.
Han Lingshu looked at this shop, feeling extremely ordinary, and whispered to Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, if you want to buy pills, why do you want to come to this kind of small shop?"
"It's just to buy some pills, let's take a look first. ”
Jiang Li's face was calm, and he said to the waiter: "I want some Zhuyuan Dan below, don't ask about the rest." ”
"Distinguished guest later. ”
The waiter walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered a few words, and the shopkeeper beckoned Jiang Li to the front of the counter, took a bottle of Zhuyuan Dan and handed it to Jiang Li, and said at the same time: "Daoyou is polite, this Zhuyuan Dan needs 200 spirit stones for a bottle, I don't know how much the guest needs?"
Jiang Li opened the jade bottle and looked at it, the condition was good, he thought for a while, this thing doesn't have to buy too much, and if it costs too much, it is easy to attract attention, so he replied: "Let's have ten bottles." ”
When the shopkeeper heard that Jiang Li wanted to buy ten bottles, the smile on his face was even bigger, and he immediately took out the other nine jade bottles and enlarged them in front of Jiang Li.
At this time, Han Lingshu stopped Jiang Li from taking out the spirit stone, and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, his eyes are not good, and let me see how your pills are!"
She grabbed the jade bottle in Jiang Li's hand, poured out one of the pills inside, pinched it on her fingertips, checked it carefully, and leaned over to her nose to sniff it.
Jiang Li's face was a little puzzled, the color of these pills was better than the pills he saw in Yuyangfang City, there should be no problem.
Suddenly, Han Lingshu frowned, as if he had noticed that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Jiang Li, who just wanted to scold loudly, but was afraid that it would be too high-profile to attract attention, so he lowered his voice and asked: "Shopkeeper, you kind of Zhuyuan Dan dare to sell a bottle of two hundred spirit stones?" Do you believe it or not, Miss Ben smashed your store!"
When the shopkeeper saw Han Lingshu's fierce and vicious appearance, he was stunned for a moment, a little weak-hearted, and said with a smile: "Miss, this Zhuyuan Dan is genuine......
"Don't talk nonsense, you are not sincere in the shopkeeper, don't do this business!" Han Lingshu put the jade bottle on the counter with a "snap", and pulled Jiang Li out.
"Distinguished guest, wait ......a minute," the shopkeeper shouted, but he didn't plan to chase it out, and he probably knew that this business couldn't be done.
After leaving the store, Jiang Li asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"You're a shrewd runner, but you're far from shopping. You see, if you bought that elixir just now, you will lose money, and this spirit stone will be credited to my account. Let's go, I'll take you to some big stores. ”
Han Lingshu couldn't help but say, so she took Jiang Li to the most prosperous street market in the city, where the business is done by big shops, and there will naturally be no shortage of good things.
This time it was Han Lingshu who took the lead, entered a few shops, and when he entered the door, he randomly reported several pills needed by monks in the late stage of qi training, and when the store took them out, Han Lingshu looked at them one by one, and explained them to Jiang Li one by one, but he didn't buy any of them, and the faces of the angry shops were a little unsightly.
Jiang Li thinks that he is a master who does not suffer losses, but after entering the Dao Path, he has only walked in the cultivation realm for a few years, and he has not been in any great city of cultivating immortals, and he has not seen many pills, and he has no experience in checking their quality.
If the spiritual weapon is okay, if you hold it in your hand and infuse it with mana, you can probably estimate the advantages and disadvantages.
The pill is different, and you can't eat it on the spot, just looking at the appearance, but you can't see anything, Jiang Li will subconsciously compare it with the quality of the pill in Yuyangfang City.
This time I can say that I have learned a lot, and I naturally admire Han Lingshu's knowledge very much.
The two of them walked for a long time, looked at a lot of shops, and finally picked one and bought the pill, Jiang Li looked at it all the way, and naturally made a comparison, looking at this pill, he was very satisfied, and at the same time saw Han Lingshu's smug smile, nodded and said, "Your five hundred spirit stones are exempt." ”
"And the room fee!" Han Lingshu shouted.
"Count it separately. Jiang Li looked at Han Lingshu and said lightly, and then asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you have any good talismans?"
When Han Lingshu heard Jiang Li ask about the talisman pen, she asked, "What do you want the talisman to do?"
"Naturally, it's a talisman. Jiang Li said casually.
"You still know how to refine talismans?" Han Lingshu naturally didn't believe it, and then thought of something, and said with a shocked face: "Could it be those talismans you gave me......"
Jiang Li nodded, took a talisman pen handed by the shopkeeper, and took it in his hand to study it carefully.
He is a talisman maker, and the quality of the talisman is naturally revealed.
"But is there anything else?" Jiang Li shook his head slightly and returned the talisman pen.
The shopkeeper was not surprised, he saw that Jiang Li was probably just starting to enter the late stage of Qi training, it seemed that the contact talisman time was not long, and he should not use any too good talisman pen, so he took an ordinary goods out, but at this moment, looking at Jiang Li's actions, it seemed that there was some doorway, so he took the talisman pen and took out another one.
Jiang Li also took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he was still not satisfied.
The shopkeeper didn't speak, Jiang Li looked at a few more rune pens in a row, and always felt a little worse.
Jiang Li put down another talisman pen, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Distinguished guest, this talisman pen is already of good grade......
Han Lingshu also took it and looked at it, frowned slightly, and whispered: "Jiang Li, in my opinion, this talisman pen is really good, it is enough for you, right?"
"If not, that's it. Jiang Li was a little disappointed on his face, took the talisman pen from Han Lingshu, and returned it.
Jiang Li looked at a few talisman pens, and some monks in the shop also saw it, and they were naturally very envious of Jiang Li becoming a talisman maker at such a young age.
However, seeing that Jiang Li seemed to be dissatisfied with all the talismans, some people thought about it for a while, and had some conjectures in their hearts, probably thinking that Jiang Li deliberately revealed the identity of the talisman maker, and disdained the talisman pens in the store, so he was proud in front of them.
At the same time, some people are jealous, thinking that Jiang Li probably only knows a little about making talismans, and most of this talisman pen can't afford it, and they are afraid of losing face, so they simply say that they are not satisfied.
The shopkeeper also had this idea, his eyes rolled, and he thought that Jiang Li had deliberately come to trouble him, and his smile gradually dimmed.
Open the door to do business, especially the big store where he is located, if there are no good goods by the customers, it is a matter of face.
There are naturally good goods in the store, but seeing that Jiang Li's cultivation is not high, he didn't take it out directly, but picked a few talismans that he thought were okay, but Jiang Li didn't even fancy one, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he decided that Jiang Li was here to find fault.
He lowered his head and muttered for a while, then took out a talisman pen this time, and said confidently: "If this talisman pen still can't satisfy the distinguished guest, it can only mean that the noble guest has ulterior motives." ”
Jiang Li took the talisman pen, poured in the mana slightly, and a smile appeared on his face, "Shopkeeper, if you take out this thing earlier, you don't have to waste time." ”
The shopkeeper's face was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong, was it really here to buy a talisman pen?
"This talisman is worth 26,000 spirit stones, you can see ...... honorable guest" The shopkeeper knew that 20,000 spirit stones were also a lot of money for a monk like Jiang Li who had entered the late stage of Qi cultivation.
"Really, it costs 20,000 spirit stones? It's too expensive. Everyone was shocked when they heard that this talisman pen actually cost 20,000 spirit stones.
"Deal. Jiang Li took out the spirit stone and was about to settle with the shopkeeper.
"Wait!"
At this time, someone walked into the store quickly and stopped him.
