Chapter 60: Wulongfang City
Lu Xu didn't know how long he would stay here, so he spent two spirit stones to rent an attic with a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
Immediately, the old man handed Lu Xu a palm-sized jade plate engraved with a lot of delicate runes, and said: "The accommodation provided by this inn is accompanied by prohibitions, and this jade plate is a magic weapon that inspires Daoists to rent a small courtyard with prohibitions, and the method used is also very simple, and it is written on the back of the jade plate, but if Daoyou opens the prohibition for a long time, the spirit stones consumed by the forbidden magic circle need to be produced by Daoyou themselves." And when the lease period is up, the ban will automatically dissipate, and if there is anything you don't understand or what you need, you can just come to the old man. ”
"Thank you!" Lu Xu nodded, secretly saying in his heart that he also had his own security system, which was really advanced.
Came to his residence, a small courtyard that was quite exquisite, not too big. Entering the attic, there are all kinds of tables, beds and chairs in it, although they are simple and simple. He then activated the forbidden magic circle according to the method engraved on the back of the jade plate, and the entire attic and small courtyard were immediately covered by a layer of light shroud, and a trace of mist slowly emanated from the light cover, and soon formed a white cloud, covering the small courtyard. Lu Xu couldn't help but attack, then pursed his lips and muttered: "I'll wipe it, it's also called a ban, I'm afraid that anyone can break it with one punch here." ”
After a slight rest, Lu Xu walked out of the small courtyard, planning to wander around and familiarize himself with the surrounding environment. When I went out, I canceled the ban, which is equivalent to wasting spirit stones when the ban is not open.
Wandering along the streets, I found that the immortal cultivators here generally use two ways to trade: one is to barter, and some immortal cultivators use things they can't use to exchange for the items they need in small stalls or shops, and the other is to use the way of buying and selling spirit stones, and the money and goods are cleared.
After shopping for a long time, he suddenly found that he couldn't see even a piece of silver, Lu Xu shook his head with a wry smile, I am afraid that the value of silver here is about the same as the value of the stones on the ground, and the hundreds of thousands of taels of gold in his storage bag may be able to buy some food.
Lu Xu first went to the shop selling elixirs in Wulongfang City, planning to see if he could find the elixir needed for alchemy. After going in and inquiring, I found a lot of the elixir I needed, but the price was terrifyingly expensive, especially the main medicine of the fire pear fruit, which cost five or six hundred spirit stones. As for the seeds, they are cheap, so Lu Xu also bought a large number of them and prepared to plant them in the Linglong Secret Realm.
Walking out of the store, Lu Xu walked around, but he was full of interest, and almost every stall had something that made him blush and extremely excited. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the dozen blank rune papers, although this thing is the most ordinary thing in the market, but it is the thing that Lu Xu needs most at the moment.
Guy now has only about two hundred spirit stones on Lu Xu's body, and since entering the late stage of the refining period, Lu Xu feels that the magic weapons on his body are a little out of the table. There is only one mid-grade magic weapon, the rest are low-grade magic weapons, and there is not even a defensive magic weapon. Although he hasn't encountered any danger in this outing, I'm afraid that his opponents in the future will all be monks in the late stage of the Qi refining period, and the low-grade magic weapons are really a little insufficient.
However, the price of magic weapons is extremely expensive, especially medium-grade or even high-grade magic weapons, and a good high-grade magic weapon costs at least a few hundred spirit stones. The elixir that he refined himself can't see the light of day, so he can only pay attention to other things, and talisman making is one of the skills to make money.
Lu Xu has visited so many stalls along the way, and he also has a certain understanding of the prices of these talismans. A dozen of primary and lower-level blank runes can be bought with a low-level spirit stone, and the primary and lower-level runes that have been refined can be sold for one or two low-level spirit stones depending on the type of spell. For example, the Ice Arrow Charm and the Fireball Charm.
As for the primary and mid-level spirit runes, they immediately doubled several times, and the defensive spirit runes were so expensive than the offensive ones, just like the vajra runes in Lu Xu's storage bag.
After carefully observing the vajra talisman on the stall, he found that the aura of the talisman was much more sufficient than the few in his arms, and it was obviously a new product that had not been used yet, and it was estimated that his old product could only be sold for one-third of the price of the other family at most. Especially the one that was already extremely dim, Lu Xu was a little afraid to use it, for fear that it would suddenly fail when facing the enemy.
Suddenly, Lu Xu stopped in front of a stall, only to see that the sign on the stall said to sell Gu Yuanpei's elixir. Lu Xu's heart moved, and he didn't know how the pill here was better than his own solid spirit pill.
Lu Xu picked up a bottle and opened it, sniffed it, and shook his head gently, it was far worse than his own pill, and he couldn't even achieve one-tenth of the effect, not even as good as the few Qi Refining Pills he bought near the sect. And the quality is very poor, and I am afraid that the mana will become turbid after taking it. "Fellow Daoist, I don't know what kind of elixir this is?"
"How about raising qi and dispersing, Daoyou, come to a bottle, it can be used during the qi refining period. This elixir is the most sought-after thing in this city. The person selling the pill was a young man, with a pimple on his face, and he said enthusiastically. Most immortal cultivators have excellent skin due to the reason for absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth all year round, but this person has pimples all over his face for some reason.
"Oh, what a price. Lu Xu said when he heard this. Even if you don't buy it, it's good to ask the price, just to compare the price of your own solid elixir.
"Hehe, it's not expensive, two low-level spirit stones for one. The young man laughed, and the pimples on his face were like a pimple flower blooming on his face, which made people feel a little tired.
Lu Xu shook his head slightly, secretly happy in his heart, just this elixir can be sold for two low-level spirit stones, so wouldn't his own solid spirit pill be sold for twenty or thirty low-level spirit stones.
In fact, Lu Xu was wrong, the pills he refined were all high-grade pills with extremely strong medicinal potency, this kind of high-grade pills were rare things in the world of cultivating immortals, and I am afraid that thirty spirit stones would be bought desperately.
Along the street, Lu Xu paced slowly, and after a while, he stopped in front of a stall selling books and seals. I picked up a copy of the "Secrets of the Immortal Cultivation World" and a "Beginner Low-level Rune Seal Production Book" and looked through it, and found that there were many secrets of cultivating immortals and the production methods of the primary low-level rune seals that I didn't know.
Lu Xu smiled at the young man who was setting up the stall and said, "Fellow Daoist, how do you sell these two classics." ”
The young man glanced at Lu Xu and said with a smile: "A total of forty low-rank spirit stones. ”
"It's so expensive. Lu Xu smacked his tongue.
"It's not expensive, fellow Daoist, this includes almost all the beginner low-level rune seal production methods and many secrets of the immortal cultivation world. The young man smiled slightly.
"That's it, I don't have a spirit stone on me, you see how many spirit stones this pill is worth. Lu Xu took out a bottle containing a solid elixir from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"Oh, I'll see. The young man opened the cap of the bottle, sniffed it slightly, and immediately said with ecstasy: "This, this is a high-grade elixir, which has a miraculous effect on the bottleneck, Daoyou, do you still have it, I want it all." ”
"No, this one, it's still given by the teacher. Seeing the other party's ecstatic look, Lu Xu was shocked, he just wanted to try how valuable his pill was. Immediately took it out with some regret, Lu Xu had long known the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty, but at this moment, he was seen by the other party, so he simply traded it.
It's no wonder that all the pills that Gu Yuanpei can instinctively promote the improvement of the exercises, who is willing to exchange them, and it is not enough for them to use themselves. What's more, it is a high-level elixir like Lu Xu, which helps to break through the bottleneck.
Only a guy like Lu Xu, who eats this kind of medicine as a snack, can be willing to exchange it for pills. However, Lu Xu knew the truth that wealth was not exposed, and he didn't want to leave the other party with the appearance that he had a large number of this elixir, so he made up a master to come out, and high-level monks would never be so shocking if they had this kind of elixir.
"That's really a pity, okay, just use this pill for this talisman seal and the secret of cultivating immortals. The young man said with pity on his face.
"No, I'm losing this way, so I'll have to add these five dozen blank runes. Seeing that the other party valued this elixir so much, Lu Xu immediately took advantage of the situation to raise the price, and pointed to the five dozen blank runes on the side.
"Well, changed. The young man thought for a moment and immediately said.
When he left with the two books and five dozen blank rune papers, Lu Xu felt that he was still at a loss, looking at the other party's happy appearance, the price of the pill could still be raised. However, the Gu Ling Pill has no effect on Lu Xu now, so he doesn't care. At the same time, he made up his mind that he would never take out his pill again.
Along the street, Xiao Xu spent two more spirit stones to buy a talisman pen and dansha, and returned to his small courtyard along the same path and began to try to practice talisman making.
A talisman maker is a person who makes a talisman seal. Relatively speaking, the Fu Seal Master is the least expensive to cultivate among the four major professions in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, but this is relatively only for a sect, and it is also extremely difficult for an individual to become a talisman master by his own financial resources, and it can even be said that the possibility is very small.
In fact, to put it bluntly, talisman making is that the talisman seals a certain spell and its spiritual power on the rune paper with a special spell to make a talisman with the power of this spell. When you need to use this rune, just recite a few short spells and refine a little spiritual power on the rune paper, and you can immediately activate the spell sealed in the rune, which is much more convenient and faster than using a spell. And more importantly, once the sigil is refined, it can be sold or given to other monks, and other monks can easily use it.
Take the simplest fireball talisman as an example, as the name suggests, it is a talisman that seals the low-level spell "Fire Bomb Technique". The first thing a talisman master has to do is to master the fire bomb technique, and then it is a process that is daunting to ordinary immortal cultivators.
At first, it is normal for a novice who wants to learn talisman making to fail hundreds or thousands of times in succession. It is not uncommon for you to run into someone with poor qualifications, even if you continue to fail thousands of times! Only after making a thousand talismans can the success rate gradually increase, and this only refers to the drawing of the same kind of talisman.
If you change to another kind of talisman, although it can't be said that it is still the same as a novice, the failure rate at the beginning is still amazingly high, which is breathtaking. Therefore, it is impossible for a qualified talisman maker to be cultivated without tens of thousands of talisman making exercises. It is conceivable that how many people can bear such material loss?
