Walking down the stone path from the square at the top of the mountain, there are often monks sitting and meditating on the side of the road, as if they are practicing and digesting what the Jindan real person just said. After walking a short distance, a flat land of several acres appeared in front of you, which should have been carved out by someone, planted with a layer of turf, surrounded by ancient trees, full of greenery.

The meadow was very lively, people came and went, dozens of monks set up stalls, neatly arranged in three columns, behind each stall sat quietly a monk, watching this scene, similar to the small traders in the world, the difference is that the things they sell are rare things. Monks stop in front of almost every stall, but few monks stay for a long time, they just look at it once or twice and then walk away, occasionally finding something of interest, and after some whispered bargaining, it is rare to be able to complete the transaction.

Hong Jun found that a small percentage of the monks who successfully traded were bartered, and more were exchanged for spirit stones.

"That's where the deal is, let's go and see, and if you see what you want, tell me. Jiang Mingyu walked on the ground, and Hong Jun and the two followed behind him.

Walking past the stalls, Hong Jun turned on the Qi Lookout technique and carefully probed the goods on the stalls. He had just finished reading the spirit record, and it came in handy immediately, most of the things on the stall he recognized, they were all common things in the cultivation world, talismans, pills, refining materials, unfinished magic weapons, the fur on the body of demon beasts, rare spirit stones, and even the Taoist books of exercises, and some unknown things that contained spiritual energy, most of them were clearly priced, and the price was marked on the side of the goods in the unit of the following spirit stones.

Jiang Mingyu quickly looked at all the stalls on the flat ground, and didn't find anything he was interested in, so he took Hong Jun and the others to continue walking, and soon came to the edge of a stone cliff, where there were also more than a dozen monks doing business.

Between the mountains, there are hundreds of similar trading places, either under a tree, or in a cave, or on the edge of a cliff, and the stalls range from hundreds to two or three, and some monks prefer to be quiet, and put their stalls in remote corners alone, or even hang up a sign.

Hong Jun has the ability to never forget, the light brain constantly entered information, and quickly compiled a simple database, when he walked through several trading places in a row, he roughly grasped the price level of the cultivation realm, understood the basic value of many things, and the purchasing power of spirit stones.

According to the spirit record, a low-grade spirit stone is enough for a monk below the first level of qi refining to absorb it for ten days, and after ten days, the pure spiritual energy contained in this spirit stone will be consumed. The higher the cultivation, the faster the consumption rate of the spirit stone, and with this standard, when the cultivation reaches the fifth level of Qi refining, a low-grade spirit stone is only enough for one day of cultivation before it is reduced to nothing.

For monks above the Jindan stage, the spirit stones they consume every day are even more dizzying, and the spirit records do not explicitly say it, which must scare many monks.

With this kind of speed of absorbing spiritual energy, no monk in the cultivation realm can provide him with enough spiritual stones, and every time he refines his qi, he is assisted by spiritual stones, which is simply something that he can't dream of. Monks have been refining qi all their lives, all their years of refining qi combined, if they can have three percent of the time assisted by spirit stones, it is already shocking wealth, the vast majority of monks have spirit stones to assist in refining qi for less than one percent, and the rest of the more than ninety percent of the time is to rely on their own hard work to meditate and breathe, exhaling the aura of heaven and earth, so as to accumulate mana.

However, it is really refreshing to have spirit stones to assist in cultivation, the efficiency of qi refining is twice the result with half the effort, and it is easy to increase cultivation, and the vast majority of monks consume them after getting the spirit stones, and they rarely leave a large number of spirit stones in their hands. In this way, the spirit stones are only few, not much, and they can't make ends meet at all, even if the number of spirit stones skyrockets a hundred times, they will soon be consumed by the monks, so the spirit stones will always be the hard currency of the cultivation realm, and there will never be a depreciation.

The preciousness of the spirit stone can be seen from this.

And what can a spirit stone be exchanged for in the cultivation realm? Hong Jun came to the conclusion through statistics that a spirit stone can be exchanged for ten blank rune papers, three Qi Returning Pills that quickly restore mana, a fist-sized copper essence used to refine magic weapons, or a venom of the third-order demon beast Red-eyed Poison Toad.

However, these things are not very useful, they are the most common things in the cultivation realm, and what can really be exchanged for a large number of spirit stones is still magic weapons, Taoist books, and precious things such as pills that can increase cultivation, and hundreds of spirit stones are needed at every turn.

Hong Jun only has one spirit stone on his body, which is the black crystal, although he doesn't know which variety and attribute, but judging from the amount of energy it currently contains, Hong Jun is probably equivalent to three hundred low-grade spirit stones, or three medium-grade spirit stones. In addition, the rest of Hong Jun's valuable ones are the flying sword and the Xuanjiao Leaving the Flame Ring.

Magic weapons are one of the most valuable things in any stall, and Hong Jun has also seen a few monks who sell magic weapons, even the lowest-grade magic weapon embryos that have not even been sacrificed on a layer of prohibition, they have to sell hundreds of spirit stones, not to mention the magic weapons that have been sacrificed. A low-grade magic weapon that only sacrificed to one heaven, the power is acceptable, at least the price is more than three hundred spirit stones, the flying sword is even rarer, and the value is higher, Hong Jun estimates that his flying sword can sell at least thousands of spirit stones!

The value of the other Xuan Ant Flame Ring is difficult to estimate, Hong Jun has not found that there are monks selling medium-grade magic weapons, let alone the high-grade magic weapons of the Nine Heavens Consummation, it is estimated that no one in the entire Secret Pagoda Festival will sell this grade of magic weapons, he doesn't want to make a move, and he doesn't dare to make a move, and the truth of Huaibi's guilt is understandable needless to say.

When Hong Jun walked past a special sale of things and stalls with talismans, he couldn't help but pay attention to a few more looks, when he got the "Five Elements Yuan Miao Fu Ying Jing", he wanted to learn the art of drawing talismans, but the materials at hand were insufficient, Zhao Jingcheng's small Qiankun bag did have a rune pen, but the lack of spiritual liquid for drawing talismans, such as the blood cinnabar, may have been used up by Zhao Jingcheng, and he couldn't find these things in the wilderness, so he had to do it.

This stall sells cinnabar spiritual liquid, as well as talisman pens, blank talismans, and more finished talismans.

Hong Jun swept it at a glance, these are all primary talismans, but there are many types, there are more than fifty kinds, more than the five elements of the Yuan Miao Fu should be recorded, and there are several very rare primary talismans, including flying talismans, stealth talismans, Dunjia talismans, immobilization talismans, doom relief talismans, wind, snow and ice talismans, each of which is very practical.

However, the price of these rare talismans is also several times higher than that of ordinary talismans, a finished flame talisman is priced at one spirit stone, while the flying talisman costs fifteen spirit stones, and those powerful wind and snow ice talismans cost twenty spirit stones, which is staggering.

No one wants good goods, even if the price is ridiculously high, there are still many monks watching this stall, and after a while, several transactions were completed, earning hundreds of spirit stones.

Hong Jun couldn't help but observe the stall owner, and found that the other party's cultivation was similar to Jiang Mingyu's, and it was also the fourth layer of qi refining, but it was not as good as Jiang Mingyu's promotion to the fourth layer for so many years, which was slightly inferior.

"This person should be a Fu Xiu. Hong Jun secretly thought in his heart, he was very excited about these talismans, and he also wanted to learn the art of drawing talismans, but unfortunately there was no spirit stone on his body, so he could only give up for the time being.

Jiang Mingyu saw Hong Jun's movements, and did not ask on the spot, and when the three of them walked to a place where there was no one around, he asked in a low voice: "Lieshan Daoyou is interested in Fu Gong?"

"Jiang's predecessors are as wise as torches, and the younger generations have indeed thought about learning the art of drawing talismans, just now I saw that talisman cultivator, the talisman made is extremely exquisite, and the value is high, so pay more attention. Hong Jun nodded and replied truthfully.

"The way of the talisman is broad and profound, and that Daoist's talisman is indeed amazing, and I am far inferior to him. Jiang Mingyu also sighed, and said: "But I am not a Fu cultivator, I have always specialized in the way of alchemy, if it comes to alchemy, I am confident that I can beat that Taoist friend." ”

Hong Jun was not surprised, when he first saw Jiang Mingyu yesterday, he had a tripod-shaped magic weapon on his head, which was mentioned in the spirit book, and generally tripod-type magic weapons have two functions, one is to defend oneself against the enemy, and the other is to smelt elixir, so Jiang Mingyu said that he can make alchemy, which is not a strange thing.

"Do you need me to buy you a few talismans for study?" Jiang Mingyu asked kindly.

"Jiang's seniors are kind, and the juniors understand it. Hong Jun shook his head and refused, and said: "The art of drawing talismans is not easy to learn, and the spirit book also says that the success rate of making talismans is extremely low, and beginners may not be able to do it once in ten times, it takes a lot of experience in drawing talismans, and the success rate will be improved, and the more powerful the talisman, the more difficult it is to make, and buying a few talismans does not have much effect, and Jiang seniors still don't have to break the bank." ”

In addition to this reason, Hong Jun didn't want to covet Jiang Mingyu's belongings, after all, those talismans were really too expensive.

"That makes sense. Jiang Mingyu bowed his head, in fact, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the price of those talismans was also a little pressure on him, he said slowly: "Cultivating the true hundred arts, all of them require a lot of time and financial resources to initially master, the cultivation of Lieshan Daoist friends is still shallow, it is not appropriate to spend energy on this, most of the monks only start to study an auxiliary path after the third layer of qi refining, it seems that although Lieshan Daoist is young, he is a rare rational person." ”

"The seniors praised it falsely. Hong Jun said humbly, in fact, he didn't think so, if there were enough spirit stones, he would definitely try to make talismans.

As for how to get the spirit stone, Hong Jun already had a vague plan in his heart.
