Big red lanterns, flags, umbrellas and fans, and a sedan chair carried by eight people.
It's a grand ceremony.
The groom rode a tall horse. Although he was just an ordinary man, he looked very dignified.
After knocking and hammering all the way, they stopped at the gate of a tall courtyard.
There were many people watching the fun on both sides of the road, and it was quite joyful.
Chen Lin also leaned against a big willow tree, watching with interest.
It has been a long time since he felt the breath of such a life. It actually made him feel comfortable. The disordered mood caused by the improvement of his cultivation just now also slowly calmed down.
The sound of discussion among the crowd was audible.
It turned out that the family's surname was Liu, and the young man they married had been studying abroad, had passed the imperial examination, and had just returned not long ago.
No wonder he didn't find it when he explored.
The bride was from Pingyang City, and was said to be from an official family. Marrying to Guyuan City was considered a downgrade.
Chen Lin listened, watched and laughed.
I feel a yearning for it, yet I feel out of place.
Separated from the immortals and mortals, one can never return to ordinary life.
What he wants to pursue is the improvement of his cultivation and the path to immortality. Although the worldly things like getting a place on the imperial examination and having a wedding night are infinitely beautiful, they are only a moment of splendor.
The wedding procession of a wealthy family was complicated. After watching it for a while, Chen Lin lost interest and planned to leave.
"Um?"
At this moment, the curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly lifted, revealing the figure of the bride.
She was wearing a big red veil, so her face couldn't be seen.
This was a very normal situation, but Chen Lin discovered that the moment the curtain was opened, an extremely strange aura emanated, but it disappeared immediately.
It seemed like just an illusion.
But Chen Lin's expression began to change.
The feeling just now was very clear, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if it was very similar to the strange appearance in Kaiyuan City at midnight, but it was countless times weaker.
If his cultivation had not just improved and his perception had not been extremely sharp, he would not have noticed it at all.
After thinking about it, Chen Lin secretly touched the storage bag and took out a small bottle.
It was the Ming and Qing spiritual water that Yu Yuehai had given him. He had already used a lot of it and there was about half a bottle left.
He took out a little and smeared it on his eyes, then looked at the bride again.
There's nothing unusual.
At this moment, the bride had already stepped out of the sedan chair and was welcomed inside with great joy.
"Is this really an illusion? Have I stayed up too late recently and am too stressed?"
Chen Lin was a little suspicious.
If it is weird, this Ming and Qing spiritual water will definitely allow him to find out the abnormality. This thing is very useful.
He took a breath, glanced at the bride who had already walked into the yard, and walked away from the crowd.
In the end, Chen Lin decided to wait and see for a while.
You can't just run away like a frightened bird when something happens. If you do that, there will be no time to stop.
Calming down his mood, Chen Lin came to the market town.
Nothing is more important than making money.
Many Fireball Talismans and Power Talismans have been produced. According to the current price, it is estimated that they can be sold for about sixty medium-grade spirit stones.
This is mainly due to the sharp rise in the price of talismans.
Especially the powerful talisman.
Because the ancient cultivator's cave had been underground for so many years, many places had been buried by rubble and dirt. They could not use powerful spells or magical tools to clean it, for fear of damaging fragile treasures such as elixirs and jade slips, so it had to be excavated manually.
As a result, the strength-enhancing talisman became in short supply, and its price kept rising, from one low-grade spirit stone per piece to seven low-grade spirit stones per piece.
The seven-fold increase made Chen Lin's mouth twist with joy.
The Fireball Talisman has also grown by about three times and can be sold for thirty low-grade spirit stones.
Although the price of materials has also risen, Chen Lin's success rate in making these two talismans has reached a very high level, especially the Power Talisman, with a 90% chance of hitting the target out of ten times, and the Fireball Talisman has a 70% chance, so the profit is quite considerable.
The only regret is that the success rate of those kinds of pills is still zero, and the pills can only be made by relying on one’s innate ability.
But Chen Lin felt that this was not a problem with his technique, but a problem with the alchemy furnace and the recipe.
Both the Enlightenment Pill and the Chu Yuan Pill were improved by Yu Yuehai using the Qiyun Alchemy Technique. They are not normal pill recipes, and no one else could be able to refine them except him.
Although the Yang Shen Pill is a legitimate pill recipe, his pill furnace is not good enough. It is good enough that an iron pot can meet the restriction of "using the correct method" of the innate ability.
So, this is not him being a scumbag.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, your presence here makes our little shop shine!"
When Chen Lin walked into Ruyifang, the wealthy middle-aged shopkeeper immediately came up to him with a smile on his face.
During this period of time, Chen Lin has been selling talismans in his house, and they have become long-term partners. Moreover, Chen Lin's output is astonishing. The Power Talisman and the Fireball Talisman are both hot-selling talismans recently, which have brought a lot of traffic to his store.
"Haha, don't be so pretentious. It's better to give me a price increase."
Chen Lin looked down on the other party, then took out all the talismans and placed them on the counter.
"Oh, there are so many this time. Fellow Daoist Chen's success rate has increased a lot. Congratulations!"
The shopkeeper directly blocked out the talk about price increase and counted the talismans while flattering the boss.
Chen Lin didn't take it seriously.
He had already inquired about the prices of talismans in the entire market before, and this store offered the highest price, and the attitude of the shopkeeper was also good, otherwise he would not have chosen to cooperate here.
And even though the other party's cultivation level is only the third level of Qi training, since he can open such a store in this market, it is impossible for him to have no background. He is probably just an employee.
Soon, the talismans were counted, and the shopkeeper counted them and put the spirit stones into the bag one by one.
"You are indeed a smart man. It is much better to make a fortune quietly than to risk your life in an ancient cave. To congratulate us on our happy cooperation, I will give you an extra middle-grade spirit stone as a token of my appreciation!"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper took out another medium-grade spirit stone and put it into the bag.
Chen Lin nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Even a stingy person can pluck feathers. Not bad, not bad. There is room for development!"
The shopkeeper didn't care and handed the bag to Chen Lin, then said mysteriously, "Did you hear that a top-grade spiritual weapon appeared in the ancient ruins?"
Chen Lin was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the other party's words.
"It's just a spiritual weapon, not a magic weapon used by Jindan cultivators. This means that the level of the cave is still in the foundation-building stage. What's so surprising about that?"
The shopkeeper curled his lips and said, "What do you mean by 'just a spiritual weapon'? Do you think spiritual weapons are cabbages? Even many cultivators in the foundation-building stage are using magic weapons!"
"Really?"
Chen Lin was a little skeptical. Not to mention others, just the people he met, Yu Yuehai, Ye Jingyun, and Qiu Chenggang, all used spiritual weapons, which didn't seem to be that scarce.
The old shopkeeper looked at Chen Lin's expression, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He said, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Chen is from some aristocratic family, and is he no longer surprised by spiritual weapons?"
Chen Lin rolled his eyes, "Are you laughing at me? Have you ever seen a disciple from a noble family making a powerful talisman to earn spirit stones?"
"Ha ha!"
The shopkeeper burst into laughter, and his doubts were dispelled.
Then, he changed the subject, "Fellow Daoist may not know much about magic tools. Qi training cultivators basically use magic tools, and being able to use a top-grade magic tool is already very impressive. Top-grade magic tools are very rare and are generally in the hands of foundation building cultivators."
"As for spiritual weapons, they are even more scarce resources and very difficult to refine. Even foundation-building cultivators cannot guarantee that each of them will have one, let alone Qi-cultivating cultivators. The owners are all those with strong backgrounds, and Qi-cultivating cultivators are also unable to unleash the full power of spiritual weapons."
"Oh, by the way, the reason why you think spiritual weapons are not scarce is because you saw Fellow Daoist Qiu Chenggang of Lieyang Sect using one at the trade fair?"
Chen Lin nodded upon hearing this.
"Yes, I did see Fellow Daoist Qiu using a spiritual flying sword that can change size. Isn't he also a Qi training cultivator?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Chen Lin and said with a faint smile: "Now I believe that Fellow Daoist Chen is a casual cultivator. He doesn't even know the identity of Fellow Daoist Qiu Chenggang."
"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Qiu is not only an inner sect disciple of Lieyang Sect, but also has another identity?"
In Chen Lin's opinion, since Qiu Chenggang has a spiritual weapon, then the other inner disciples of Lieyang Sect must also have spiritual weapons. Even if not all of them have them, it is impossible that he is the only one.
The Lieyang Sect is so large that there must be a lot of inner disciples, so he felt that although spiritual weapons were scarce, they were not extremely scarce.
He still had a scroll on the production of the Qingjiao Spear spiritual weapon in his hand, but he had never taken it out to study.
"hehe."
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "You know, Qiu Chenggang's father, Qiu Shouli, is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, and his combat power is extremely strong. The Qiu family is also a family with a long history of Qi training. Even so, as a representative of this generation of the Qiu family, Qiu Chenggang only owns a low-grade spiritual weapon flying sword!"
Chen Lin was stunned.
It seems that he really underestimated the value of the spiritual weapon and the identity of Qiu Chenggang.
No wonder the other party is so generous, it turns out that he is also a rich second generation like Lu Li.
"So that's how it is. I'd like to ask the shopkeeper to explain more. It seems that the shopkeeper knows a lot about the Yan Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. You must tell me about it in detail in the future."
After holding it up for a while, Chen Lin asked in confusion, "Even low-grade spiritual weapons are so scarce, so if a high-grade spiritual weapon appeared in the ancient cultivator's cave, the competition must have been fierce, right?"
