Chapter 55: Fang City
"Foundation building period?" Just as he was puzzled, another light passed from above, but he seemed to see the two of them, and after a slight pause, he fell, but it was a young man with a beautiful face. looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The two Taoist friends are very raw, aren't they local monks?"
Li Chuan smiled and said: "Daoyou's eyes are like torches, and my brother is indeed not a local. ”
"It's funny for Daoyou to speak!" the young man was confused by his nondescript words, and for a moment did not know how to continue.
"Where are you going?" The two brothers are feeling bored, and they want to find a place to pass the time, I wonder if you can give you some advice?"
The young man said in surprise: "Isn't Daoist friend here to participate in this Fang Market?"
Li Chuan asked strangely, "Fangshi?"
The young man's brows furrowed slightly, and then he let go, "It seems that Daoyou has just come down the mountain to practice, but this should not be, didn't your senior elders mention it to you?"
Li Chuan sighed and said: "My master likes to be pure, he rarely interacts with people, and he has been in retreat for the past few years, so I am not very clear about many things in the cultivation realm. It's not that he deliberately concealed it, but it's too complicated to tell the truth, and it's easy to get into trouble, so I have to talk nonsense for the sake of the future.
The young man seemed to believe his words, nodded and said, "So that's the case, no wonder Daoist friends don't know about these cultivation common sense." By the way, you haven't asked for a mentor yet?"
Li Chuan looked embarrassed and said: "Forgive me for not being able to tell the truth, please forgive me! Alas! It is still my master's reason, he has a very strange temper, and he is always afraid that I will go out and use his name to cause trouble, and he has sternly warned me that I am not allowed to tell anyone the origin of my master and his old man's name, otherwise I will be severely punished! As for me, my surname is Shen, and this is my sister. ”
When the young man heard this, he did not continue to ask, but explained the city. To put it bluntly, it is the market of the cultivation realm, but the trading goods have been exchanged from various daily necessities to various cultivation materials and magic weapons. "In the next surname Song, a session of loose cultivation, this time specially for this Fang market, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can go with the next one, it's good to see, by the way to see if there is anything you need. After speaking, he glanced at Shen Sitong inadvertently, revealing a look of pity.
Li Chuan quietly looked at his demeanor, but he didn't care, after all, there is no man who doesn't love beautiful women, not to mention just a glance, even if he looks twice, it's normal. "But I can't ask for it, and I ask Brother Song to lead the way. As he spoke, he took out a piece of light yarn from the Qiankun bag and threw it to Shen Sitong. This is prepared in advance, after all, women are always prone to causing trouble, although people with high cultivation can see through the veil, but after all, it is not polite behavior, and most people will still pay attention to their own image.
The three of them walked together, and Li Chuan couldn't put Shen Sitong into the ring anymore, so he had no choice but to reluctantly lead her forward with the cultivation of the tenth level of Qi training. Originally, the speed was slow, but at this time, he brought a big living person, and the speed was like a "turtle crawling", but fortunately, the monk surnamed Song was patient and slowed down, so he could barely keep up. Shen Sitong was held in his arms, full of reluctance, his brows were furrowed, but he couldn't think of any solution, so he had to sigh secretly, helplessly enduring this rascal eating his own tofu intentionally or unintentionally.
Fang City is located in a valley, the scale is not large, and because the exchange items are relatively ordinary, there are basically no monks in the Dan stage and above. Therefore, the general management of such a fang market is not strict, and you only need to hand over a few spars to the responsible forces to participate. Of course, there is no guarantee of safety at all, and those who come to participate are either confident in their own strength or come in groups.
Lowered his body and handed over the hedron needed for entry together.
The two chatted briefly, and the monk surnamed Song turned to leave.
Li Chuan looked ahead, and said without looking back: "Let's go, follow me closely, don't get lost." ”
"I'm not a three-year-old child!" Shen Sitong, who was following behind, snorted angrily.
The corners of Li Chuan's mouth tugged slightly, and he strode towards the market.
There are all kinds of things in the market, wood, herbs, pen, ink and paper, everything is available, of course, they are not ordinary items. After looking at it for a while, I found that it was either bartering or buying spars, and it turned out that the cultivation realm used spars as currency. I couldn't help but touch the Qiankun bag on the waistband of my trousers, it was really deflated, if it weren't for the defeat of Li Hongyan, we would also be a rich man in the cultivation realm! The more I thought about it, the more I sighed: "If it weren't for the spar support scene of those unlucky guys, we would really be the richest and poorest bastards!"
When passing by the stalls, even if you are not interested, you have to ask, and after many times, you have a simple understanding of the prices of many materials and pills.
After the transaction failed again, a man in Tsing Yi in the middle stage of foundation building suddenly stopped him, "This Daoist, I see that your cultivation is about the tenth level of Qi cultivation, and I happen to have a bottle of Lingzhi Pill, which is very suitable for you to take, although it is only five pills, but if Daoist friends can meditate and cultivate, it will be enough for you to upgrade to a level." ”
Li Chuan glanced at him, "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to see other things now, if there is no one I like, I will consider it again." ”
The man in Tsing Yi seemed to be a little anxious, "Fellow Daoist, my Lingzhi Pill is not expensive, only a hundred low-grade spars. ”
Li Chuan said: "A hundred low-grade spars are indeed not expensive, but what is needed most now is not this, and Daoist friends should leave it to those who need it." After saying that, he smiled apologetically and continued to walk forward.
"Huh, what is this?" After walking for a moment, the inconspicuous earthy yellow stone on a stall suddenly caught his attention. When he had nothing to do, he spent a lot of time studying the ancient jade slip in the Songwen Ancient Ring that recorded all kinds of strange things, and one of them was very similar to this stone. Especially the lines on it. If he is really lucky, if this does produce citrine, his harvest will be great.
Although Li Chuan could not practice the high-level exercises of the Five Elements, he was able to practice the spells in them, and after studying them for a while, he became interested in each series of swordsmanship, so he decided to start practicing the swordsmanship of each system after reaching the Dan period, and the natal magic weapon was naturally the Five Elements Spirit Sword.
Earth citrine is a necessary material for refining the Earth Spirit Sword, and it is exciting to find such a precious material in this grade of Fang Market. Of course, he was not carried away by this joy, although there was a certain possibility, but it was not finalized after all.
"What kind of spar is this?" asked Li Chuan, pretending to be curious.
The stall owner was an eleventh level old man who practiced qi, and when he heard this, he glanced at him casually, and said unreasonably: "Goose Yellow Stone, thirty low-grade spars, take it if you want it." ”
Li Chuan shook his head, "Thirty spars are too expensive, and I'm not very interested, so I just ask." He didn't say whether to buy it or not, and casually looked at other items, and one of the shuttle-shaped magic artifacts caught his attention and asked, "How do you sell this thing?"
The corners of the old man's mouth moved slightly, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, "This is a flying shuttle for transportation, which is barely usable in terms of Daoyou's cultivation, but the price is not cheap, two hundred low-grade spars." ”
"So expensive?" Li Chuan shook his head and turned around to leave.
The old man frowned and said, "The price can't be lowered, but I can give you this goose yellow stone." ”
Looking at his demeanor, he probably didn't think that this business could really be successful, and he said this just out of habit.
Li Chuan hesitated for a moment, "That's the case, I'll just buy it with pain, who made me lack a means of transportation!" As he spoke, he took out two hundred low-grade spars from the Qiankun bag with a painful face and handed them to the old man. That is basically one-tenth of his wealth, if it weren't for the fact that the monk of the Hehuan Sect still left a little spars, it is estimated that this alone would have bankrupted his family.
The old man obviously didn't expect that someone who didn't even recognize the shuttle would be able to take out so many spars, and his eyes suddenly looked at Li Chuan a little strange. Li Chuan didn't care about this, put away the goose yellow stone and the flying shuttle, and continued to move forward. With the gains, his interest in visiting the market has greatly increased, and even Shen Sitong has seen the change in his attitude before and after, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have to say a few sarcastic words.
After collecting a few more nice little things, Li Chuan began to walk back, and when he passed by the man in Tsing Yi who sold Lingzhi Pill, he couldn't help but look at it.
Sure enough, the man in Tsing Yi spoke again, "Fellow Daoist, have you encountered something you like?"
Li Chuan smiled: "It's quite a bit of a gain." ”
The man in Tsing Yi said with some embarrassment: "Then, is my bottle of Lingzhi Dan Daoist ......?"
Seeing his slightly anxious expression, Li Chuan was puzzled in his heart, "Looking at the appearance of Daoyou, it seems that he is in a hurry to sell this bottle of Lingzhi Pill!"
The man in Tsing Yi sighed helplessly and said: "I can't hide it, I took a fancy to something in the Fang Market this time, but unfortunately I didn't have enough spirit stones on my body to buy it, and that Taoist friend didn't agree with me to exchange it for the pill, so I had no choice but to beg the Taoist friend to buy my bottle of spirit pill." ”
Li Chuan said: "So that's the case, but I don't know what your friend is looking for?"
The man in Tsing Yi hesitated, "It's a medicine tripod, I'm afraid that others will buy it first, so I'm in a hurry." ”
After thinking about it, Li Chuan took out a hundred spars and put them on the stall, "Now this bottle of elixir belongs to me." ”
The man in Tsing Yi let out a sigh of relief, with an excited expression on his face, "Thank you so much!"
Seeing that he had received the spirit stone and still didn't leave, Li Chuan asked, "Aren't you afraid that the medicine tripod will be snatched away by others?"
The man in Tsing Yi said: "That's the case, in fact, the number of spirit stones that bought that medicine is more than a hundred, in addition to the next, there are three junior brothers and one junior sister to help me sell the spirit pill." As he spoke, the man in Tsing Yi took out a paper talisman and pinched the magic trick, and the rune paper flashed and shot into the distance. A moment later, three men and one woman, four young people in the early stage of foundation building, appeared in front of them. "How is it? Have you sold all the Lingzhi Pills?"
Several people shook their heads. The young woman said: "I did sell a bottle, but it was only a drop in the bucket, alas! I don't want to buy those who can afford it, but I can't afford to buy it, it seems that it is very difficult for us to get together eight hundred spars!"
All five of them sighed helplessly.
Li Chuan looked at them, remembered some of the things he had heard from Hong Yuan, suddenly had an idea, realized something, thought about it for a while, and said casually: "It seems that there is no shortage of pills for several people, and what they want to buy is a medicine tripod, but they don't know what it has to do with the Divine Danmen?"
Hearing his words, the faces of the five people changed.
The man in Tsing Yi thought for a while and said, "Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, the five of us are the masters of the Divine Danmen, and this time we came out just to practice." ”
The speculation was confirmed, but Li Chuan was even more puzzled, "As far as I know, the financial resources of the Shendanmen should be very strong, but how many ......"
The man in Tsing Yi smiled bitterly: "Daoist friends don't know, the Shendan Gate has a rule, before reaching the Dan period, in addition to the talisman magic weapon and the spirit pill necessary to improve the realm, you can only rely on yourself, whether it is alchemy or materials, the sect will not produce even a single spar for you." ”
Li Chuan was moved by this and sighed: "There are still such rules! No wonder the Divine Dan Sect has been prosperous for a long time." ”
The woman shook her head, "Look at the meaning of this fellow Daoist, I am quite envious that the Shendanmen has such rules, in fact, it is just that you have not suffered from it, just like this time, it is really sad to watch the treasure slip away from under your nose, but you can't do anything." ”
The corners of Li Chuan's mouth hooked up with an unfathomable smile, "I wonder if you can lead the way, let me also see what that Baoding looks like?"
The man in Tsing Yi said: "Naturally, there is nothing to do. ”
