247 Zou Lao's speculation

Ye Chen and Wei Ming found an ordinary inn in Wangtian City.

The Sun couple, Ruan Yufeng, Sun Shibin and others also planned to stay in this inn. They took the same carriage and traveled for several days to Wangtian City, which can be regarded as fate, and there are no acquaintances and old friends in Wangtian City, and they live in the same inn, so they can take care of each other.

Old Man Zou often goes back and forth to Wangtian City, and there should be many acquaintances and old friends in the city, but strangely, he also came to this inn with everyone.

However, what made Ye Chen, Wei Ming and the others a little unhappy was that the inn in Wangtian City was really ridiculously expensive, and the most ordinary wing room actually cost a spirit stone a day. You must know that in Tianwu Immortal Yuan City, you only need one spirit stone a month.

The room price of this inn is still cheap in Wangtian City, and those luxury stores, at least ten spirit stones, or even hundreds of spirit stones a day, are amazingly expensive. The cost is like water, and I am afraid that only the monks of those wealthy families can afford to live.

Wei Ming complained a few words that the house money was too expensive. Although he is a monk of the Heavenly Void Immortal Sect, he is only from an ordinary immortal cultivation family, and he is poor, and he can't take out a total of thousands of spirit stones in his pocket, so he is reluctant to spend so many spirit stones on the inn.

The innkeeper immediately replied, the inn in Wangtian City is at this price, if it is too expensive, go to Yunze deep mountains to open a cave to cultivate, and even the rent of this inn will be saved.

The monks were speechless.

There are high-level demon beasts everywhere in the deep mountains of Yunze, and without extremely high cultivation and combat power, who dares to open a cave in the deep mountains. Even the Jindan Monk didn't dare to stay in the Yunze Mountain Range for a long time, and I'm afraid that only the Yuanying Monk would dare to do so.

There is no way, everyone pays the rent and lives in this ordinary inn, otherwise there is no place to stay in this Wangtian City.

They are either scattered monks or ordinary Xianmen monks, who are accustomed to saving if they can, and of course they will not go to the expensive inn.

Ye Chen's situation was better, he had just taken 50,000 spirit stones from Liu Hongdan, a female disciple of the Wind Demon Sect, a few days ago. I have a lot of money. But. He didn't need to waste it, he just had a place to stay in the city.

After everyone settled down in their accommodation, they left the inn separately and tried to find a way to earn spirit stones.

The most important purpose of their group coming all the way to look at the Heavenly City was of course to cultivate.

But cultivation requires spending a lot of spirit stones.

Cultivation is mainly two aspects, on the one hand, it is the cultivation of the Yuan Shen, which is the foundation of the strength of the monk, the stronger the Yuan Shen, the longer the longevity. The more powerful the overall strength. On the other hand, it is the cultivation of combat skills and spells, etc., if the cultivation is high, but there are no combat skills and spells that can be mastered, it will also be very weak, and it will not be able to compete with monks of the same rank.

To cultivate the Yuan Shen, you need to buy the Yuan Qi Pill, the Gong Law Classics, and a large amount of spirit stones.

To practice combat skills and spells, you need to buy magic weapons, magic weapons, combat skill secrets, spell secrets, as well as spiritual wine and various spiritual elixirs to replenish mana. A large sum of spirit stones is required.

If you want to raise a raptor spirit animal. It is also necessary to feed the Spirit Valley.

Even living in Wangtian City, every day requires spirit stones. Without spirit stones, it is difficult to move an inch. Otherwise, let alone cultivation, you wouldn't even be able to afford to live in the city.

The strength of an immortal cultivator does not depend on one meditation and meditation, one enlightenment, and then he can advance by leaps and bounds and rise day by day.

There is not enough financial resources to build a foundation. Even if he is a genius-level immortal cultivator, he can only hold grudge and grievance, running around every day to earn a few spirit stones, and waste his cultivation.

The reason why the Nine Great Immortal Sects and the Great Cultivation Immortal Family are so powerful is that they can support a large number of powerful monks by gathering huge financial resources with the strength of the entire Immortal Sect and the family.

When it comes to earning spirit stones, there are many ways. Each has its own powers.

The Nine Great Immortal Gates directly occupy almost all the large-scale spiritual mines and spiritual wood producing areas in Yunzhou, occupy the best spiritual mountains and spiritual fields, and cultivate the alchemists and refiners of their own sects, which are produced and sold by themselves. This is the financial foundation of the major immortal gates, supporting tens of thousands of monks in the major immortal gates.

For example, Ye Chen and Wei Ming, as disciples of the second generation of the Tianxu Sect Foundation Building Period, were assigned a large spiritual field on a mountain peak in the Tianxu Immortal Gate to plant spiritual valleys and elixirs.

They don't have to bother to take care of it themselves, they only need to hire a few disciples of the third generation of Tianxu Sect Qi Cultivation Period to take care of them on their behalf, and they can receive a sum of spirit stones every year. Although this spirit stone is not much, it can also provide a small amount of daily expenses.

Of course, it is not possible to rely solely on this income to cultivate. The second-generation disciples of the Xianmen also need to go out often to experience and find ways to earn more spirit stones.

The Immortal Cultivator family was slightly inferior, operating merchant pavilions, shops, and spiritual fields in various immortal cities, planting spiritual valleys, spiritual medicines, and so on. Although it was a small fight, it was still very easy to feed dozens or hundreds of monks in the family.

The most bitter are the lonely monks.

The vast majority of loose cultivators have mediocre spiritual root qualifications, neither immortal sect disciples, nor family cultivators, they are helpless, and they have to spend a lot of time to find a way to earn spirit stones by themselves.

If you are lucky, you will find that you have a little alchemy talent and refining talent, so you can worship an alchemist and a refiner as a master, and learn a skill, which can be regarded as having a future and being able to mix decently.

Those who don't have a skill in casual cultivation either take the risk of hunting demon beasts and collecting elixirs, and if they are lucky, they can make a small fortune, and if they are unlucky, they will die directly in the barren mountains and mountains, and no one knows. Either go to the business, the risk is not big, it is a bit hard and time-consuming. It takes half a month to run a short trip, and a few months and half a year long.

Old Man Zou's way to earn spirit stones was to run a business, purchase spiritual objects at a low price in Wangtian City, and then transport them to other places where monks lived far away to sell them at a high price, making a difference in price.

Time is wasted and is on the road, which delays cultivation very much, and the old man Zou only cultivated to the second layer of the foundation building period at the age of one or two hundred, which can be seen. But it can't be helped, who made him a casual cultivator with mediocre qualifications and no skills.

Old Man Zou was a little resentful of the injustice of the immortal cultivation world, and he had a cold face all day long, and he didn't have a good face. His greatest hope in this life is to find a way to earn more spirit stones, buy spirit pills for cultivation, and break through to another level of cultivation.

"Senior Brother Ye, let's go find some work to do? Why don't we go to the refining workshop in the city and see if they need any refining manpower?! With our cultivation, it should be no problem to take care of the furnace. Earn less, but it won't delay cultivation too much. ”

Wei Ming came to discuss with Ye Chen how to earn spirit stones.

"I'm not going, I still have some spirit stones on hand, enough to use for a long time! Senior Brother Wei, you better go and do it yourself." However, tomorrow the Demon Punishment Tower will be opened, so remember not to delay. ”

Ye Chen shook his head and said.

Wei Ming scratched his head and remembered something. Extremely envious. "I heard that Senior Brother, you have made a great contribution to the Shimen in the Diyan Mountain of the Ulan Empire, and the Shimen has rewarded you with a large amount of spirit stones, which will definitely be enough for you to use for a long time. It's no wonder that Senior Brother's cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and he has made such rapid progress. Well, since Senior Brother doesn't plan to go, then I'll find it myself. Early tomorrow morning, let's go to the Demon Punishment Tower together!"

This kind of thing that has made great contributions to the Xianmen is hard to come by, and not everyone can encounter it. Others only have envy. Wei Ming also traveled around the secular realm for a while, but unfortunately he didn't encounter anything, so he came to the Yunze Mountain Range to cultivate.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, and didn't explain much.

In fact, the 600,000 spirit stones that the Immortal Gate rewarded him had already been spent by him and used to feed the fire crows in the Immortal Mansion. raised dozens of fourth-order fire crows, which directly increased his combat power dozens of times, which was staggeringly strong.

He only had 50,000 spirit stones in his hand to use.

Fortunately, Ye Chen was able to refine the pill and refine the weapon in the Xianfu Island. There is no need to waste time deliberately trying to find a way to earn spirit stones. The time saved is used to cultivate the original gods, combat skills, and spells.

Wei Ming saw that Ye Chen didn't plan to earn spirit stones, so he could only go to the city alone to find work.

"Tomorrow, the Demon Punishment Tower will be opened, go to the Wangtian City Market and buy something. ”

Ye Chen pondered, and prepared to leave the inn to walk on the street.

To his surprise, Old Man Zou came to the door.

"Zou Daoyou, don't you want to run a business, don't go to purchase goods. Why are you still staying at the inn?"

Ye Chen said a little strangely.

"Runners pay attention to vision. There's a guest right in front of you. Why should the old man go far and near!"

Old man Zou showed a smile on his cold old face.

"What do you mean by that?"

Ye Chen said.

"Brother Ye Daoyou and Wei Daoyou are both second-generation disciples of Tianxumen, Wei Daoyou is in a hurry to find a way to earn spirit stones, he must be very short of money. In contrast, Ye Daoyou was not in a hurry at all, obviously Ye Daoyou had surplus wealth and was not short of spirit stones. The old man has been doing business all year round, so he naturally distinguishes who can afford to buy the goods. Who can't afford to buy the goods, or else the business can't be done. The old man estimated that Ye Daoyou was not in a hurry to earn spirit stones, but wanted to buy things, so he came to the door, first, to see if Ye Daoyou needed it, and secondly, the old man could also earn a little spirit stone, why not!"

Old Man Zou smiled lightly.

"Hehe, in this way, what spiritual object does Zou Daoyou want to sell to me?"

Ye Chen's heart moved, guessed a few points, and asked with a smile.

Old man Zou shook his head, "The old man has no goods on him, but the old man has been running businesses in Wangtian City for many years, dealing with the local snakes in the city, and knows a good place to buy and sell." There is a black market organized by local snakes in the city, specializing in small bulk goods. ”

"Black market?"

"Yes, the shopping pavilions and street shops in Wangtian City are heavily taxed, and even the street stalls in the market have to be taxed. There are many local snakes who come forward to do the black market, so that they can reduce taxes. It is mainly a casual cultivation to buy and sell, the scale is small, specializing in selling some rare spiritual objects, there are few goods, but they are all superb. That place must be introduced by an acquaintance to enter, and the introducer can get a small commission for the transaction that is traded. The old man is also a broker who makes a match. I wonder if Brother Ye Dao wants to go to the black market?"

Old Man Zou was worried that Ye Chen would misunderstand, so he explained in detail, "However, the minimum price of the goods there is also a thousand spirit stones, and the highest ones even cost thousands or tens of thousands, which is not cheap." ”

Old Man Zou said this, a little hesitant. He couldn't see Ye Chen's details clearly.

He only knew that Wei Ming had great respect for Ye Chen, a fellow senior brother.

This is unusual.

The Xianmen sect has a large number of disciples. It is precisely because there are too many disciples, so generally speaking, even if they are fellow disciples, the relationship is not actually close, and many of the same disciples and brothers are strangers, let alone respect.

Unless it is a Tianjiao monk who has built the eighth or ninth layer of the foundation and is terrifyingly powerful, and is one of the few figures among his peers, he will let his fellow disciples take the initiative to bow their heads. Otherwise, everyone is a disciple of the same generation of the Xianmen, and their status is similar, and no one will be humble to anyone.

Wei Ming's attitude towards Ye Chen was obviously extremely respectful, and even a little flattering. Ye Chen's cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building was not very powerful.

Old Man Zou was not sure what Ye Chen's status was in the Heavenly Void Immortal Gate.

But one thing is obvious, Ye Chen's status is much higher than Wei Ming, and it is very likely that he is the descendant of a certain Jindan elder, who holds great power in the Immortal Sect, so Wei Ming will stammer like this.

Old Man Zou has been in the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation Realm for hundreds of years, and he has seen a lot of things, and he has long been a human spirit.

He didn't look for the other six or seven monks in his company, but he came to Ye Chen, and he saw this. Even if he was quite jealous in his heart that Ye Chen had a fourth-layer cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building at such a young age, he still visited Ye Chen privately to see if he could make a few business.
