"Out of money?"

Although Hu Qi's words were tactful, Qiu Yan still grasped the point at once.

Whether in the past life or in this life, as long as there is a saying in human society, there is always a saying that will not be wrong -

It's hard to move without money.

Qiu Yan and the others' silver money was the money he earned from selling words in Dongdu at the beginning, a lot of money, but along the way, the ordinary expenses were just that, and there were a few accidents, and the expenditure was not small, and now, after buying a pile of medicinal materials, it is finally going to be exhausted.

Of course, for monks like Qiu Yan and Hu Qi who condense their souls and refine their souls, it is not difficult to get money, but there are many inconveniences in Xingjing, and it is after the examination and before the list, so there are not many ways to make money in a short time.

However, Qiu Yan did not show surprise at this, as if he had expected it, while listening to Hu Qi's words, he also maintained the connection between his mind and the will of Xingjing, and at the same time shook the muscles and bones, so that the medicinal power spread to the limbs and bones, replenishing the consumption of qi and blood.

Most of these medicinal materials are ordinary things, but when combined, the medicinal power can be called a tonic.

The bowl brought by Hu Qi is very large, enough for ordinary people to eat for ten days and half a month, ordinary people swallow it in one bite, it is inevitable that the deficiency will not be replenished, but it will be harmed, and although Qiu Yan said that his breath is weak, the foundation is there, and the seven spirits turn into a void pill, and he can bear it.

However, although the amount of medicinal materials is extremely heavy, in fact, it can only barely replenish the qi and blood consumed by Qiu Yan, and it is faintly insufficient.

In fact, Qiu Yan has a better choice, such as the jade pendant on his waist. It contains surging qi and blood, which can strengthen muscles and bones and replenish consumption, but it comes from the acquired power of the demon king, which is not as good as the innate nutrition of medicinal materials.

Qiu Yan had now condensed the Void Pill and entered the second stage of the Third Realm. Able to change the nature of flesh and blood. During this period, any impurities that affect qi, blood, bone marrow and bone marrow cannot be ignored and will become an obstacle to future advancement.

Know the way. I want to turn the void pill into reality. Turned into a golden pill. Removing impurities and purifying the seven spirits is one of the steps, and then the true element can be generated, so how can the impurities be increased?

Compared with. Although medicinal herbs also have acquired residues, they are different from the essence of human flesh and blood, and are easier to excrete from the body.

In addition, Qiu Yan has a more ideal choice of medicinal materials by his side, but it is difficult to start because of friendship.

"Supplementing qi and blood with medicinal herbs, in the end, there is still a shortcoming, although it can prevent the regression of the cultivation of the life path, but as long as you continue to comprehend, continue to strip off the qi and blood, and grow and nourish the soul, the weakening of the physical body is inevitable, however, in terms of my current feelings, it is not necessarily a bad thing......

Qiu Yan's heart changed, he took a deep breath, his heart moved, his soul shrank, and the connection with the will of the city became closer and closer, and the soul seemed to be able to break out of the body at any time, and he went away with the wind, and the restraint of the flesh and blood body on the soul was almost dissipated.

"The body is weakened, the soul is getting stronger, the balance of life is broken, and the connection between the soul is almost broken, on the one hand, my body is rapidly weakening, but at the same time, it also makes the soul temporarily override the flesh and blood, and the perception of releasing the soul is more sensitive, not bound by itself, and more conducive to contact with Xingjing's thoughts, this is an opportunity, but the specific context has not yet been sorted out. ”

Ordinary monks, when they reach the third realm, in their lives, there must be one as the main and the other as a supplement, so as to merge into one and no longer affect each other, and Qiu Yan's life is on the same footing, but there is no way to truly integrate into one, usually nothing, but in fact, they restrain each other, and the perception of the divine soul is limited.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Hu Qi and slowly got up.

"You might as well maintain a weak state first, the soul cultivation is still there, and you can use the will of Xingjing to probe the surroundings, but you are not afraid of danger, in the national capital Xingjing, even the monks must rein in the open spear, and at most use the hidden arrow. ”

When the thought fell, Qiu Yan took out a piece of writing without hurry and handed it to Hu Qi.

This time, he is going to sell calligraphy and paintings in exchange for silver taels like before.

Just like Dai Guo said, Qiu Yan's words are valuable, as long as they are knowledgeable people, they can see the value, Xingjing as the capital of Darui, is the center of the world, the city is indispensable to study and painting shops, in terms of quantity, there are a lot more than the eastern capital.

As soon as Qiu Yan's calligraphy and painting were taken, the eyes of those proprietors and shopkeepers shone up.

Qiu Yan's words have a charm in them, as long as they are not blind, they can see that it is just the most unsatisfactory result.

When Hu Qi returned to the inn with the painting, Qiu Yan couldn't help but have doubts.

Hu Qi had to explain with a wry smile: "Childe, their bid is too low, not even one-third of the Qianshu Zhai in the Eastern Capital." ”

The last time I sold a word, I got ten taels, which is not a small amount, and now Da Rui mainly uses copper coins as the currency in circulation, and the merchants near Guanzhong also use Jiaozi, relatively speaking, the mining and import of silver is not much, it is a store of value, and the value is not small.

Ten taels of silver, put in Qiu Yan's previous life, at least it was a year's income of the middle class.

When the Eastern Capital sold words, Qiu Yan did not have much fame, even if the words have charm, it is considered a high price, although the calligraphy and painting itself is important, but also affected by other factors, the most typical point is that the works of the living are not as good as the dead, and the young are not as good as the old.

But right now, Qiu Yan has a certain reputation in Xingjing, and the words have a signature and a seal, if it can only be worth three taels of silver, it would be too much.

Qiu Yan frowned slightly and groaned.

"Three taels? This is beyond the general price reduction, some suppression, listen to your meaning, and also go to a lot of study, is it all this price?

Three taels of silver, it stands to reason that it is also a lot of income, but Hu Qi knows that in the future, he will have to buy a few medicinal materials every day, and then count the daily expenses, it will be very insufficient.

Silver seems to be a trivial matter, but it affects the whole body, and without medicinal materials to supplement the body, it is impossible to maintain the understanding of the will and dragon qi of the city, and then disrupt Qiu Yan's plan, so that the rare opportunity is lost, and the gains outweigh the losses, but it is also impossible to be the wronged boss and everyone slaughters it.

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan shook his head, wondering if he wanted to change the method.

"Childe, although I don't know much about calligraphy, but I still know the way of buying and selling, it has always been rare and expensive, one of your paintings in Xingjing can only be exchanged for three taels, if you want to maintain expenses, you have to sell one every two or three days, but if you sell more, it is worthless, Childe's words are Mobao, how can you be so humiliated!"

As he spoke, a look of resentment appeared on his face.

If you paint and write every day, don't say anything about the time, it is easy to be looked down on by others, leaving gossip, Hu Qi also understands this truth, but seeing his expression, Qiu Yan turned his mind and asked, "Did you find out any news?"

Hu nodded and said: "Back to Gongzi, I got a hint in a study, I heard that Xingjing's calligraphy and painting business is mastered by one person, buy low and sell high, although Gongzi's words have charm, but the name of calligraphy and painting has not yet spread in Xingjing, they can handle it!"

"Industry monopoly?" Qiu Yan was slightly surprised, "Xingjing is worthy of being the national capital, and the development of this tertiary industry is in full swing. ”

"Well, Childe, what did you say?"

"No, nothing. Qiu Yan shook his head and flicked his fingers, "This study is the same as the branches, it really has rules, I have some reputation in Xingjing, but it is limited to Shilin candidates, it is not loud in the end, it is not easy to do after all, it seems that I have to change the method, but I am not good at making money, I hope not to delay too much time." ”

When Hu Qi heard this, he wanted to stop talking, he was looked at by Qiu Yan and asked, and he said: "When I was leaving, an old man woke up and said that now in Xingjing, the most famous of the younger generation are Bai Zhaoyuan, Wen Zhizhen, Qi Jiulian and others. ”

"Looking for someone to co-brand?" Qiu Yan frowned slightly, although he didn't want to trouble, but after all, it was his own work, and he could only be raised by other people's names, and his heart would definitely not be comfortable.

Hu Qi put forward his opinion, so he didn't say more, just waited.

Qiu Yan thought about it, and said after that: "Anyway, things in the world always have to be invested in order to get the harvest, I wanted to wait until after the list was released to start raising hope, but it was not bad for a few days, so I will solve the matter in front of me first." ”

"Childe has an idea?" asked Hu Qi at the right time.

Qiu Yan glanced at him: "Didn't you say that Pang Qianru was going to hold a banquet?"

"Yes, Childe is planning to go to the banquet?" Hu Qi had a worried look on his face, obviously worried about Qiu Yan's body.

"It's just three things, if you refuse the kindness of the tiger girl again, it will be self-defeating," Qiu Yan said with a smile, "Besides, this Xingjing banquet really needs to be seen, otherwise when you become an official, you won't have a chance to experience it again." ”

When the words fell, other thoughts flashed through his heart.

"These many things are crowded together, and they are really involved, but I just hope that Jiuling Mountain can support it for a longer time. ”

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

At the same time, in the next room, the second elder of the Golden Crow was sitting with his eyes closed, but suddenly opened his eyes at the same time, and there seemed to be flames dancing in his eyes, and then they both showed a look of surprise.

"At that moment just now, you and I were trembling, and the chill was inward, as if we were being targeted by someone!"

The two glanced at each other, communicated with a special method, followed the turn of their eyes, and both looked out the window, but what they saw was just an ordinary scene, and there was nothing abnormal.

"Strange ......"

They didn't notice that in the sky, there were two faint shadows, shuttling through the gap in dragon qi.

"The host of the heart ape is in this house!, but for some reason, the will of the city here is too strong, and it needs to be considered in the long run......" (to be continued......
