Chapter Seventy-Three: Lin Quan's Friend (I)

There are no years of cultivation, and before I knew it, Lin Quan had been in Tiemufang City for two years.

He has a regular daily routine. Among them, alchemy and meditation take up more than half of the day, and the rest of the time is to continue to study the way of the formation or tease the spiritual incense silkworms raised by themselves, and in addition, they will take some time out every month to make some talismans to sell.

The only thing that disappointed Lin Quan was that he never saw anyone sell that kind of humanoid puppet from the Gu Xiu period again.

In such a stable cultivation environment, Lin Quan's cultivation had successfully reached the peak of the eighth layer of Qi Condensation, and he was only a little short of reaching the ninth layer of Qi Condensation. While his own strength was improving, Lin Quan did not neglect the cultivation of spells. However, all the practical spells noted in the "Five Elements True Solution", such as the Fire Snake Technique, the Giant Wood Technique, the Rock Spear Technique, and so on, have been cultivated.

In addition, after living in Tiemufang City for more than half a year, Lin Quan was able to achieve complete self-sufficiency in all the pills needed for cultivation at this stage, and with the continuous improvement of his alchemy skills, the remaining number of pills was also mentioned again and again. It's just that Lin Quan will still go to the Qingdan Fang every month to buy a certain amount of pills to cover up. All of this is due to Lin Quan's correct choice at the beginning, Tiemufang City is worthy of being a good place for alchemy, as long as there are enough spirit stones, everyone can easily buy all kinds of classics and experiences about alchemy, so Lin Quan's alchemy is naturally improving rapidly.

However, compared to alchemy, Lin Quan was a bit unsatisfactory in the production of high-grade talismans. Although there is also a sufficient supply of raw materials, its success rate is still very speechless in the absence of classics and the guidance of famous teachers. Often, after using up more than a dozen first-order high-level blank talismans, they can't even make a finished talisman.

In fact, Lin Quan had already estimated the difficulty of refining high-grade talismans, as long as it was not particularly painful, he had been practicing unremittingly. Especially after he personally tested the power of high-grade runes, he spent a huge amount of money refining several practical runes to keep for self-defense.

As a result, the materials he had accumulated over a long period of time were also consumed.

"Alas, it seems that this cultivation still needs the guidance of the master. After picking the last batch of thirty-year-old seven-star kapok in the Yin-Yang Tower, Lin Quan looked up to the sky and sighed.

..................

Baibao Pavilion is a famous large shop in Tiemufang City.

On this day, a monk who was covered in a black robe and a black scarf walked out of the 'Hundred Treasure Pavilion' quickly, and after looking around, he quickly fled away, and disappeared into the crowd of people in the main square in an instant. Taking advantage of the cover of the crowd, the black-robed masked man suddenly left Tiemufang City after making a large circle. After going around a few big circles outside, he found an opportunity to withdraw his black robe and black scarf, and after recovering his original costume, he walked unhurriedly in the direction of his cave.

This black-robed masked man is Lin Quan, who has been in Tiemufang City for two years.

Today is the semi-annual "Hundred Treasures Conference" trading day in Tiemufang City. The location is set in the most prestigious Hundred Treasure Pavilion. To put it bluntly, this Hundred Treasures Conference is a grand auction. However, in this kind of Ironwoodfang City, which is mainly for Condensation Stage monks, all the items sold are only for the majority of Condensation Monks. As long as you are willing to pay the entrance fee for five lower-grade spirit stones.

This time, three high-level magic weapons appeared as the finale of the "Hundred Treasures Conference" at the same time, and for a while, all the monks who thought they had some strength set their sights on these high-level magic weapons. In this case, the competition for intermediate magic weapons was naturally not as fierce as the previous times. So Lin Quan, who had long been greedy, saw the opportunity to make a decisive move, and after a price competition that was not too fierce, he finally got his wish and bought the item he liked.

The two items in hand are mid-level defensive artifacts. They are a close-fitting inner armor called the "Rouyun Armor" and a small black shield with a pointed structure called the "Black Thorn Shield". Lin Quan knew that he was not short of means of attack at present, but he was still relatively weak in terms of defense. And no monk ever dislikes having too many defenses, and there's always nothing wrong with having the opportunity to prepare a few good life-saving items. Therefore, although this auction cost nearly seven hundred low-grade spirit stones and offended some stronger monks, these Lin Quan didn't care.

Due to the existence of bottlenecks, Lin Quan had already had the idea of going out for trials more than once. Therefore, this defensive magic weapon that can improve survivability is something he is determined to obtain.

In fact, Lin Quan has already participated in such a grand event three times. It's just that the first two times didn't appear the good things he desperately wanted to get, plus his cultivation at that time was too low to make a casual move. In order to be able to auction what he wanted more safely, Lin Quan would make full preparations before each auction in the future, so he would decisively auction those two extremely precious defensive magic weapons today.

After returning to the cave and familiarizing himself with the two newly acquired magic weapons, Lin Quan came back to the main square. Today is the semi-annual "Hundred Treasures Conference", and the number of people who take this opportunity to come to Tiemufang City for various transactions is also the largest. Lin Quan naturally would not give up this rare opportunity.

After coming to the trading area, he first set up a simple stall in his old position, then made himself a pot of ordinary spiritual tea, and then lay down on a Taishi chair on the ground, and closed his eyes comfortably to recuperate.

At this time, Lin Quan did not forget to use his powerful spiritual sense to listen to the things he was interested in in the noise of various transactions while resting. The crowd here is very fluid, and you can often hear all kinds of gossip about the immortal cultivation world. This is also the best way for Lin Quan to pass the time after setting up a stall.

As for his own rune business? Since Lin Quan started in Lingquanfang City, he has never been worried about this until now.

Sure enough, after a while, a familiar voice came to Lin Quan's ears from a long distance.

"Aha, Brother Jin, I'm sure you'll definitely come out to set up a stall today! How about it, do you still have a high-level talisman seal now? Hurry up and sell a few copies of my brother to save the emergency, without this thing to protect my brother, I really don't have the confidence to go to the depths of Qianyun Mountain to hunt demon beasts again." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhou. I'm really sorry, Jin has been unlucky in the past few months, and he hasn't even succeeded in getting one, so he wasted a lot of spirit stones in vain. Lin Quan said with a smile after glancing at the visitor.

This monk surnamed Zhou was more than eight feet tall, and his whole body muscles were bulging, and he was a rare monk who mainly focused on body refining. His big voice, which resembles his big man, is his hallmark. Ever since he accidentally bought a high-grade talisman seal that Lin Quan accidentally missed at Lin Quan's stall, he would find time to visit Lin Quan's stall almost every month.

Because he is quite upright and has a relatively bold personality, plus he has always had a good reputation in Tiemufang City, so he has become one of Lin Quan's recognized friends.

"Alas, that's a shame. So how many intermediate-level talisman seals are there? Big brother, I'll cover it this time. Ha! It's such a good spiritual tea, just to moisten my throat for Lao Zhou. The monk surnamed Zhou was not surprised at all when he heard this, but picked up the teapot that Lin Quan had just brewed for a while as if he had entered his own house.

This big man surnamed Zhou seems to be a big man, but in fact, he understands it very well in his heart. The first-order high-level talisman seal is very rare, and the talisman maker with that ability has generally been recruited by the various sects or immortal cultivation families, and it is difficult to buy ordinary casual cultivation at the stall. So his purpose from the beginning was just those intermediate talismans.

"Brother Zhou, why do you ...... every time Alright, alright, you can leave me a little bit too!"

Seeing that the spiritual tea that had just been brewed and didn't even have time to drink a sip was actually dried up by the big man surnamed Zhou with a pot, Lin Quan couldn't cry or laugh at the same time, and at the same time hurriedly grabbed the only teacup and covered it tightly.

Although this spirit tea is only the cheapest of all his collections, it is worth a few spirit stones on the market. Lin Quan naturally has to make a good appearance.
