Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 14: way

Views:

The so-called jade slip for transmitting skills is when a cultivator infuses his own insights into the practice of a skill or spell into a jade slip. Others can then gain these insights through the jade slip, which can increase their understanding of the skill or spell and improve their practice speed.

Chen Lin was a little excited and blurted out, "How many spirit stones does a jade slip for the exorcism skill cost?"

As the saying goes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. He still has some spirit stones, and in order to leave this strange place as soon as possible, he doesn't care whether to waste them or not.

"Two thousand spirit stones!"

The woman quoted a price that almost made Chen Lin fall to the ground.

This is not just expensive, it's stealing.

This is the price for just an exorcism spell, so what about other spells, higher-level spells, must be extremely expensive!

Noticing the change in Chen Lin's expression, the woman smiled faintly and said, "Do you think it's expensive, fellow Daoist? But you have to know that to make a jade slip of inheritance, you must at least be at the foundation-building stage. Do you still think it's expensive?"

"ah!"

Chen Lin opened his mouth wide.

Does it require a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage to take action

It's just a simple thing called exorcism. Is it necessary to make such a big fuss

However, if a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage really needs to take action, two thousand spirit stones are really not expensive. For a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, any less would not be worth it.

Moreover, the blank jade slip itself is also a valuable item.

etc!

The other party said so, could it be that there is a Foundation Establishment cultivator behind Shuiyue Pavilion

He always thought that it was just an ordinary shop, but now it seems that it is very hidden!

But no matter whether what the other party said was true or false, he couldn't afford it.

It’s really fun to spend money, but the conditions don’t allow it.

After leaving Shuiyue Pavilion with a helpless look on his face, Chen Lin began to inquire about the prices of enlightenment pills and jade slips for passing on skills in the market.

Just as the woman said, there is no jade slip that can transmit low-level spells such as the art of exorcising objects.

The spells are too low-level and not worthy of such high-end configuration.

As for the Enlightenment Pill, the price is an exaggerated six thousand spirit stones, and there is no demand for it, so it is impossible to buy it!

This is a relatively advanced elixir. After using it, one can enter a state of enlightenment for a period of time. Using it to practice the art of exorcising objects is a waste of resources.

In fact, it's not just the Enlightenment Pills. Apart from the popular Qi-replenishing Pills and hemostatic Pills, all pills related to cultivation are not sold publicly and are controlled by various major forces.

After learning this, Chen Lin couldn't help but secretly curse the unscrupulous businessman for wasting his ten low-grade spirit stones.

The woman from Shuiyue Pavilion seemed to give him two choices, but in fact he could only choose the second one.

Do I really have to spend two thousand spirit stones to buy their jade slips for passing on my skills

Chen Lin walked while thinking silently.

Of course, it was just a thought, and he knew it was unrealistic.

He didn't know how long it would take him to save up two thousand spirit stones. And even if he saved enough to obtain the art of exorcising objects, what about practicing other spells? He couldn't always rely on this, right

"If it really doesn't work, I can only rely on hard work to learn the art of driving away things and the art of controlling the wind, and I can think of other ways later!"

Chen Lin muttered helplessly.

It's not like he didn't have the idea of refining the enlightenment pill himself. After all, he had the golden finger, so he was sure he could refine it.

But not to mention the price of raw materials, even the recipe for the pill is impossible to get.

Not to mention the recipe for the Enlightenment Pill, there is no recipe for sale in any shop in the entire market!

I was in a depressed mood and didn't want to continue shopping, so I prepared to go back home.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a fur coat approached him stealthily.

This man has triangular eyes, a pointed chin, and a mustache, and at first glance he is the villain in the novel.

Chen Lin became alert and secretly placed his hand on the Xiaoyao Sword in the package, while his other hand held a stack of fireball talismans.

"Daoyou, do you want the recipe?"

After the other person approached, he suddenly opened the arms of his wide leather coat. There were several pockets sewn on both sides of the coat, and in each pocket was a yellowed paper roll, giving people a sense of age.

This scene really surprised Chen Lin.

This scene seems familiar.

It brought back memories of his past life.

On the dim night street, a wretched old man stopped him and asked mysteriously, "Do you want a disc?"

Same scene, same action.

“No!”

Chen Lin replied coldly and was about to pass by.

But the other party's words made him stop again.

"The recipe for the Enlightenment Pill only costs three hundred spirit stones, and it is guaranteed to be copied from the original recipe, word for word!"

The other party actually directly told the recipe of the Enlightenment Pill!

Chen Lin's expression suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the other party and asked, "Are you following me?"

"Haha." The wretched man laughed dryly and said, "It's not a matter of following me. I just happened to see you looking for the recipe for the Enlightenment Pill in the store.

To be honest with you, the recipes are the treasures of the alchemists, and no alchemist would sell them. It is wishful thinking to want to buy them through formal channels!"

"Oh? If the recipe is so precious, how come you have so many of them? Are you a master alchemist?"

Chen Lin looked at the other person teasingly and said sarcastically.

The wretched man paid no attention to Chen Lin's ridicule. He puffed out his chest and said in a somewhat arrogant manner, "Snakes have their own ways, and mice have their own ways. You don't need to know where I got the recipe for the elixir. You just need to know that if you miss my place today, you won't be able to buy the recipe for the Enlightenment Pill anywhere else."

After saying that, the man carefully looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he urged anxiously, "Do you want it or not? If you do, hurry up, or I'll leave!"

Chen Lin frowned and wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he asked casually, "How can I be sure that your recipe is real?"

"I can swear to my inner demon that if there is even a trace of falsehood in the recipe I sell, my soul will be shattered!"

The wretched man straightened his expression, pointed to the sky and swore an oath.

Chen Lin was stunned.

The other party actually dared to swear an oath to the devil in his heart!

The oaths made in this world are not made casually. There really is a divine law in the dark. Especially the oath to the inner demon, it is almost always accurate.

Could it be that the pill recipe the other party sells is real

He couldn't help but move with pride.

It doesn't matter where the other party's things came from, whether they were stolen or robbed, as long as they are real, it's fine.

Anyway, he has changed his appearance now, and no one will be able to find him after he leaves.

"Can I see it?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and wanted to inspect the goods first.

Unexpectedly, the other party waved his hands repeatedly, "No, that won't work. There isn't much information on this recipe. If you read it once, you will remember it all. Do you want to buy it or not? Forget it, I won't waste my words with you!"

The wretched man seemed a little angry and turned to leave.

"etc!"

Chen Lin hurriedly called out to the other party.

The other party's reason is very reasonable. It is really difficult to inspect the quality of something like a pill formula.

After thinking about it, he stopped talking and said, "I won't check the goods, but can you give me a discount? I don't have that many spirit stones!"

He really needed the recipe for the Enlightenment Pill right now, so even though he knew there was a high possibility that the other party was a liar, he still decided to take a gamble.

However, there is no way he would agree to gamble with three hundred spirit stones, but he might consider it if it was cheaper.

"Ah, a grown man can be so fussy. Tell me, how much cheaper do you want?"

The wretched man turned around with an impatient look on his face.

"Ten spiritual stones."

Chen Lin's voice was very low, and he himself felt that the price was a bit too much.

As expected, the wretched man flew into a rage and said, "Ten spirit stones? Are you kidding me? This is a pill recipe, not cabbage!"

Chen Lin also felt that he had bargained too hard. After thinking for a while, he took out a small purse from the package and shook it, saying, "Here are twenty spirit stones. This is all the money I have. If you agree, then we can make the deal. If not, forget it!"

To be honest, Chen Lin felt that this transaction would definitely not be successful.

Twenty low-grade spirit stones and the recipe for the Enlightenment Pill cannot be equated in any way.

Even if it's stolen, you still have to sell it for risk money!

But to his great surprise, the other party pulled out one of the paper rolls in a furious look, walked up quickly and stuffed it into his hand, then snatched the bag of spirit stones away.

"Today I'm giving you a good deal. If I hadn't won today, you wouldn't even have to think about this price!"

After saying this, the man closed his fur coat and disappeared from sight at lightning speed on the snow.

"It's over, I've been fooled!"

Seeing this scene, even if Chen Lin was slow-witted, he knew that the spirit stones had been wasted.

"As expected, gambling and drugs should not be involved!"

Taking a look at the yellowed paper roll in his hand, Chen Lin's mouth twitched, not knowing how to evaluate his own behavior.
