Bone Heart Sword looked indifferent.
"I'm going on a mission in a few days, come and see Yang Tengsha."
"Yang Tengsha, yes, Mr. Zhuang wants it, no matter how small the shop is, you can get it." Wu Niang quickly returned to the counter with a smile, took out a small dark red wooden box from below, and handed the bone heart sword with both hands.
At this time, a few more customers entered the store, both men and women, in different clothes.
One of them has clean eyebrows and a pale complexion. He looks like an ordinary weak man from a rich family, with a faint bookish air about him.
This guy was dressed in a light yellow Taoist robe, a white belt, and an ordinary long sword on his back. He looked no different from the other outer zone disciples around him.
This person was Lin Xin who had been at the market for a long time. He didn't buy anything when he came to the market. Instead, he went shopping and found the most popular shop, which was Yuguangzhai, and then he guarded the door for several hours.
He was observing, from the shop owner Wu Niang's attitude towards different customers, he could judge which customers were powerful, which customers were ordinary, which ones had high status, and which ones had low status. Then he remembered these powerful and high-status people one by one.
No one is trustworthy in this place, vicious competition is ignored, it is obviously a standard law of the jungle, he simply collects information honestly by himself.
Standing in front of a grid where jade pendants were hung, Lin Xin stretched out his hand to casually pinch an oval jade pendant. The emerald green jade pendant was cold in the hand, as if it had just been frozen from a freezer.
The entire jade pendant is extremely simple to make, only a symbol is hollowed out in the middle, like many incomprehensible characters superimposed together.
"This is the Hanxin Pendant, which can suppress the demons in the mood for a short time, and the runes on it can last for half an hour." A middle-aged man dressed as an old farmer whispered beside him.
"Han Xin Pei..." Lin Xin turned over and glanced at the back, where the price was written in red pen: ten.
"Ten jade coins, do you want to buy them?" The old farmer glanced at Lin Xin and shook his head, "This is for missions, it's useless for you to buy it now. The shelf life is only fifteen days."
"Just looking at it casually." Lin Xin smiled, and took out another book from the book column next to the jade pendant, flipped through it, and found that it was full of complicated characters, which were slightly different from the characters of his hometown, Dayuan. , more strokes, but still understandable.
"My lord, Huang Guizhi, everyone calls me Lao Huang. From your appearance, you seem to be a newcomer who just entered the door?" The old farmer asked casually, picking up a black copper coin to look at casually.
"Good eyesight. My name is Lin Xin." Lin Xin smiled.
"Lin Xin... as a newcomer, did you join any small group?" Lao Huang asked in a low voice.
"Little group?"
"All the newcomers here have their own groups, just to avoid being bullied, or to be bullied less. No, it should be said that everyone under 100 has a group. Not only is the task convenient, but it can also resist the oppression of stronger experts. Can exchange cultivation experience with each other." Lao Huang grinned and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, "I belong to the Lingzhu Gang."
"Brother, can you tell me how many groups this newcomer has?" Lin Xin took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.
"There are only four that have existed for a long time. The Lingzhu Gang established by the leader of the Lingzhuzi Gang, the Yinyang Gang, the Heyin Gang, and the last Poison Gang. This place is not big, but it is not small." Lao Huang replied casually.
"Existence for a long time?"
"Well, there are also many small groups, but they are established quickly and disbanded quickly. Anyway, a group of people will die soon."
"A monthly mandatory task?" Lin Xin's heart trembled.
"Of course, the Zongmen gives you the opportunity to learn the Supreme Dao, so naturally it can't be without price." Lao Huang took it for granted while looking for things.
He picked up another copper pot at once, as if he had taken a fancy to it.
"Wu Niang, I want this thing." He walked towards Wu Niang with the copper pot, and said goodbye to Lin Xin.
"Let's go first, take your time."
"Well, brother, go slowly." Lin Xin nodded. He could understand why people in the town came and went in a hurry, and with the death crisis of this monthly task on top of their heads, no one could live slowly with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Lin Xin thought of his own special ability, which can be formed into a skill if it succeeds once, and it is 100% successful. This kind of ability is most suitable for refining pills.
He found a book about pills in the books.
'Basic of Alchemy', 'Bundling of Alchemy', 'Outline of One Hundred and Eight Waidan', 'Medicine Solution'. There are a total of four relatively basic books, all of which are very thin booklets.
After thinking about it, Lin Xin took down the booklet "Basic of Alchemy", turned it over and looked at the price.
'Fifty-five'
"Hiss... fifty-five jade coins... so expensive!" He gasped, not to mention fifty-five jade coins, he didn't even have a single jade coin on him. There are only gold leaves, about two hundred taels of silver. As for the conversion of jade coins, he already knew about it after squatting outside the shop for so long.
One piece of jade is equal to one hundred taels of silver, which is the converted price.
In other words, all the silver on his body is enough to exchange for two jade coins.
Looking through the other pill books one by one, none of them were less than thirty jade coins.
Putting the book back again, Lin Xin knew it was a dead end.
"In addition to the elixir, I can also consider looking at the talisman or formation." Lin Xin selected the basis of the book drawn by the talisman and the basis of the formation one by one.
But none of the books are less than thirty jade coins, and the minimum is thirty-five.
Sighing, Lin Xin could only look for the book with the lowest price directly. Like him, there was another man rummaging in front of the bookshelf. He seemed to be a newcomer, and he was also shocked by the price. They looked up at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
"If you can't afford it, don't flip through it. You can afford it here." Wu Niang seemed to have finished dealing with the bone heart sword over there, and when she turned her head to see the two flipping through the books, she pointed impatiently at the bookcase next to her. In the corner, there was a pile of worn-out pamphlets randomly stacked together and arranged in a mess.
Lin Xin and the man walked over and knelt down, and they were not angry, after all, they were indeed too poor.
He picked up a copy and flipped it over gently. The words on the back were: sale, one.
This is the meaning of a jade coin.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and began to slowly search for the book he wanted in the pile of books.
There are more than 30 of these books, most of them are story books of anecdotes and strange events, and there are a few books whose writing is so blurred that they don't know what they are about.
Lin Xin quickly found what he wanted, a copy of "The Growth of the Master of Pills", and the other four were the same "Detailed Explanation of Arrays".
Lin Xin put down the former and looked at the latter. There is a booklet with more than 30 pages of detailed explanations of arrays, which contains a lot of messy content. It records how to use arrays on utensils. The person who wrote the book seems to have extremely poor writing skills. , often upside down and incoherent, and there is only one example of the formation with a complete production process. It is still the most basic and crude formation that does not require aura input during the Qi refining period.
Lin Xin flipped through it, trying to write down some of the content above, but found that even the simplest formation involved a very complicated prototype of the formation, and it was a three-dimensional formation, and the structure was very troublesome. There are also many complex processing techniques and precautions for materials scattered throughout the book, so don't try to memorize them in a short time.
"I have a high success rate. Although this formation is not very valuable, it is still a bit profitable. If the materials are resold into formations, you can also earn a little difference in price." Lin Xin was thinking. According to what is written in the book, the success rate of formations is generally not high, and it is related to materials and people's abilities.
Ordinary people, including formation masters, arrange formations in advance, and use higher-level materials to set up formations to increase the success rate. In this way, there is a market for his high success rate.
"I want this book." Lin Xin stood up and handed the book to Wu Niang behind the counter.
Wu Niang waved her hand and refused to accept it.
"One piece of jade, newcomers can settle with gold and silver."
Lin Xin took out a gold leaf of one hundred taels of silver from his pocket, took a book, and walked out of Yuguangzhai slowly. Looking back, the newcomer was still flipping through the books carefully, as if he planned to squat there and read the white books.
Shaking his head, Lin Xin flipped through the book and found the part that gave examples of formations.
He wants to see how this legendary formation can produce those miraculous effects.
'Small Sunshine Formation: Generates a small amount of Sunny Fire Qi, slightly increases the temperature inside the formation, and is used to maintain suitable flowers and plants. It can expel evil spirits. The number of uses depends on the material. '
"Sun Yang Qi?" Lin Xin shook his head slightly. The effect of this thing is too weak. It is estimated that the market will be very low if it is traded.
But now he can only afford this thing.
Along the street, he used the remaining money to purchase daily necessities, seasonings, rice, pots and pans for cooking, and a bundle of firewood. Fortunately, the market was on the outskirts of the town, and the place where he lived was also the closest Periphery, not far from the market.
After going back and forth five times, he bought all the daily necessities such as beds, quilts, water glasses, bowls and chopsticks.
There are also materials used to try the Xiaoyanyang formation, and I also bought a whole set. This formation itself is a very low-level foundation, and its effect is also very weak, and the materials are not so expensive. Tree roots, live scorpions, etc., Lin Xin can get them directly from the nearby mountains and forests.
After buying everything, Lin Xin prepared fifteen copies of Xiao Yanyang Zhen's materials, and packed them separately in paper bags.
There are only a few taels of silver left in the money on my body, and I am a little hungry.
Finding the wooden food bottle distributed to the newcomer, he opened the lid, poured out a handful of brown rice-like stuff, stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.
The taste is a bit like chocolate beans, and it is a bit hard, so I swallow it directly after drinking saliva.
First make the bed and the like one by one. It was getting late gradually.
After closing the stone gate, Lin Xin began to practice his inner strength every day.
Xiao Gui Yuan Jue slowly circulated in the body along with his mind, it took more than an hour, and the meridians also began to ache.
The strange thing is that just after the pain in the meridian appeared, it gradually calmed down, as if something cool had penetrated into the meridian to relieve the frictional damage it suffered.
Lin Xin's heart twitched slightly. It is estimated that this is the key to speeding up the practice in the stone house. .
