Chapter 81: Increasing Strength
The five of them stood outside a small courtyard.
Yu Chu raised his head and glanced at the courtyard, and shook his head again and again, "For such a small courtyard, the rent of a thousand taels of silver is actually a month, and the price is too expensive." No wonder there are no mortals in the City of Ten Thousand Immortals, how can mortals live in such a place?"
Xu Jia smiled and said, "Brother Yu, there are still mortals. It's just that most mortals are related to immortal cultivators and are the family members of immortal cultivators. In the shops and shops, some of the guys are also mortals. In addition, there are some mortals who specialize in handling household waste. They don't live in these places and, in general, don't see them. ”
Yu Chu said 'um', which was regarded as approving her words.
Whether it is an immortal cultivator in the acquired realm or the innate realm, as long as it is not to the point of being a qi refiner, clothing, food, housing and transportation, it is inevitable that domestic garbage will be generated, and of course someone needs to come and deal with it. These things are not something that immortal cultivators will do, so they have to be handed over to ordinary people.
Song Hua took out the key and went to open the courtyard door, and explained with a smile while opening the courtyard door: "This key is just a show, whether the courtyard door can be opened or not, it doesn't matter." With our strength, even if we don't have a key, we can jump in. But with this key, it means that this courtyard is decided by the five of us, and if someone dares to make trouble in the yard, we can fight back. ”
"When the steward of Wanxian City arrives, he will only punish the troublemakers, not us. Therefore, for a thousand taels of silver, what is rented is not actually a courtyard, but the right to make your own decisions in this courtyard. ”
Then he opened the door and let everyone in, and then said, "Choose a house for each of you." ”
The five houses are all about the same, there is nothing to choose, but Xu Jia and Chu Xiaozheng both want to be next to Yu Chu's house and mention it.
Song Hua did not object, and gave Yu Chu the second house on the right, and let Xu Jia and Chu Xiaozheng live on his left and right respectively. Of the remaining two houses, Song Hua chose the second room on the left and the first room on the left for Guo Xian.
The accommodation was thus settled. The house was rudimentary, there was nothing left but a plank bed.
However, there is a gazebo in the courtyard, and there is a stone table in the gazebo, and several stone benches are placed around the stone table. There is a well not far from the pavilion on the right, and there is a latrine in the corner of the left.
There is no kitchen, presumably when building a house, the person who built the house thought about it, knowing that these immortal cultivators rarely cook by themselves, so they simply didn't even build a kitchen.
After seeing their houses, the five men came out of their houses, sat down in the gazebo, and discussed their plans for the future.
Song Hua said: "I want to go to the shop first, sell something by the way, and then buy something." Then try to see if you can go out of the city with people, hunt beasts or gather herbs, and bring them back to sell. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Yu Chu, "Brother Yu, what about you, do you want to go together?" With Brother Yu's strength, if you go together, no matter where you go, you will definitely be welcome." ”
"Me?" Yu Chu shook his head, "The matter of going out of the city to hunt fierce beasts, let's forget it for the time being." I'm going to go to the shop first, with the same purpose as Brother Song, to buy something. ”
He is not short of money, with Suo Bao Lingjian, he can collect heaven and earth spirit liquid when he sees a stone, and the value of heaven and earth spirit liquid is far more than the best Baicao Dan, so for a while, there is no need to go out of the city to hunt fierce beasts.
The top priority is to raise the cultivation first. Cultivation is raised, and then find a set of secret techniques to enhance your own strength. After all, there is only cultivation, no technique, and against the enemy, it is also tied.
The sneak attack of Ma Fei and others that day proved this point. Song Hua's cultivation, like Chen Jue and He Ling, is the fourth day after tomorrow, but relying on half a set of secret techniques, he dragged the two of them back, allowing himself to deal with Ma Fei with peace of mind.
If he knows a complete set of secret arts, he may not be defeated against both of them at the same time.
Whether there is a powerful means of attack or not, it is very important for immortal cultivators.
"Oh!" Song Hua couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard Yu Chu's words.
After all, whether it is Yu Chu's own strength or his pet Xiaojin, who can find medicinal materials, it will inevitably be very popular in any team that goes out of the city to hunt fierce beasts.
I had to say: "If Brother Yu goes out when, don't forget to notify the next one." If nothing else works, there is still a lot of strength. ”
Yu Chu said politely: "It's good to say, if you go out of the city to hunt fierce beasts, you will definitely inform Brother Song." ”
When you go out of the city to hunt fierce beasts, you may encounter danger at any time, and of course it is best to walk with acquaintances. Therefore, knowing that Song Hua's purpose with him was to get some benefits from himself, Yu Chu didn't mind taking him along.
Next is Guo Xian, Guo Xian wants to go around, and for a while, he has no intention of going out of the city. Xu Jia and Chu Xiaozheng's plans have been said a long time ago, one wants to learn talisman making, and the other wants to learn alchemy, so they won't go outside the city.
From this point of view, the team formed by Song Hua, choosing such a few people, although it reduced the trouble for himself, but it also did not bring him any help in the matter of going out of the city to hunt fierce beasts.
In a team, five people vouched for each other, one person made an accident, and five people sat together. Although Wan Xiancheng basically didn't care about what happened outside the city, compared to outsiders, the people in the same team were more trustworthy after all. It would definitely be best if we could go out of the city together to hunt fierce beasts.
If you can't do it together, you'll have to join another team, or team up with others, or go it alone.
After Song Hua asked, he obviously thought of this situation and couldn't help but sigh.
Then everyone went out together to do their own business.
Yu Chu went to the main shop street alone and went to the Gongfa book shop.
The shop looks similar to a bookstore, except that the shelves are behind the counter, and customers are not allowed to flip through them.
Yu Chu entered the store, and a clerk from the acquired realm walked out from behind the counter with a smile on his face, walked up to Yu Chu, and greeted him with a smile: "What do you want to buy?"
Yu Chu asked rhetorically, "What do you have here?"
The clerk introduced: "Exercises, classics, techniques, everything. ”
Then Yu Chu went to the front of the counter to look, Yu Chu looked at the shelves across the counter, and on these shelves, there were all martial arts.
Although they are all top-grade martial arts, after Yu Chu saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again. He didn't lack martial arts, and he didn't need to cultivate superfluous martial arts.
He frowned and said, "Is there only martial arts here?"
The clerk explained, "There are others, but they are too expensive, so they are not on the shelf." If you want something, you might as well say it and help you find it. ”
Yu Chu thought for a while before asking, "Is there a secret technique?"
"Secret arts?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If the guest officer wants to practice the exercises, our store can still come up with some." When it comes to secret arts, there are none. ”
Yu Chuqi said: "Why not?"
The clerk smiled and said, "It turns out that the guest officer doesn't know that it is difficult for ordinary people to get such a thing as secret art, so even if there is a secret art, it will not be sold in the store, but will be sent to the auction for auction." ”
"Auction?" Yu Chu asked rhetorically, and after thinking about it, it was understandable. There are a large number of immortal cultivators, and things like secret arts are in short supply, so of course it is better to auction them.
"Where's the auction house?"
The clerk helped him tell him the way, and then asked, "Don't you want to buy something else?"
Yu Chu asked: "I don't want things at the level of secular martial artists, things at the level of immortal cultivators, apart from the exercises, do you have anything else?"
"This ......" the clerk thought for a while before saying, "There is a set of strange techniques, I don't know if it fits the mind of the Taoist friend." ”
"Thaumaturgy?" As soon as Yu Chu heard the strange magic, his eyes lit up, and his magic breaking strength was a kind of thaumaturgy, although the power was not large, but he specialized in breaking secret arts. Relying on this set of thaumaturgy, in the fight with other immortal cultivators, Yu Chu had repeatedly taken advantage.
Hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
The clerk replied, "It's a method of subduing the beast, and it can catch the beast for your own use." ”
Yu Chu was quite interested in this set of magic techniques, thought about it for a while, and then asked, "How many levels of fierce beasts can you subdue?"
The clerk replied, "Level three." ”
"No matter how high it is, can you still submit?" Yu Chu asked again.
The clerk shook his head.
Yu Chu was suddenly disappointed that he could only subdue the third-level fierce beast, which meant little to him.
He thought about it again, and then asked, "Do you have any talismans, or alchemy books?"
The clerk shook his head again and explained: "The law book for making talismans and alchemy, Taoist friends have to go to the talisman shop and the pill shop to ask." ”
"I'm tired. Yu Chu thanked him and came out of the store.
He went to the auction house first, and when he arrived at the auction house, he asked again, the auction house had an auction tonight, but unfortunately there was no secret technique. When asked about the occult arts, the clerk couldn't guarantee when the mystical arts would arrive. It's just suggested that Yu Chu register in the auction house, and once there is a secret auction, someone will be sent to notify him.
Yu Chu followed the advice of the clerk, hung up a number, left his address, and didn't want to go out with another bottle of low-grade Baicao Dan, so Yu Chu paid the bill with twenty medium-grade healing pills.
Yu Chu visited a few more shops with exercises and classics, but he also didn't find the secret technique, so he suddenly felt excited, so he casually turned around a few times, bought some food, and went back to his residence.
Back at the residence, Song Hua and Guo Xian had not returned. Xu Jia and Chu Xiaozheng are both there, the two of them have registered in the talisman making and alchemy shop respectively, and in two days, if they can pass the test, they can enter the store, learn alchemy or talisman making from others, and become an apprentice.
asked about Yu Chu, and Yu Chu said his own thing.
The two looked at each other, and finally Xu Jia suggested: "Brother Xu, there is no secret technique, why don't Brother Xu buy some talismans and seals for self-defense?"
Yu Chu remembered the Vajra talisman and Shenxing talisman that Chen Jue had used that day, and suddenly moved, nodded and said, "This idea is good, then buy some talismans for the time being." By the way, Xiao Jia, what talismans are sold in the store you signed up for?"
