There was a huge flow of people. Ye Ming walked among the crowd and entered Qicheng so easily. No one questioned him, and no officers or soldiers set up cards. Passing through the gate tower cave, a bustling atmosphere hits your face. This kind of prosperity is extremely heavy, with a sense of historical vicissitudes and the strong atmosphere of this era. The two are in harmony.
He took a casual look and found that the people in Qicheng and the people in Yancheng were very different. Those who can settle down in Yancheng are either rich or noble, so there is a superficial sense of superiority on the faces of Yancheng people. But the people of Qicheng are different. They are very calm. Even if they have a sense of superiority, it is hidden deep in their bones, so their temperament becomes a bit unpredictable.
Especially people from small places can easily be overwhelmed by the temperament of people from Qicheng. Ye Ming didn't have any sense of inferiority. He looked at this and that curiously, and wanted to visit the Duobao Building here. He felt that if the Duobao Tower in Guyang City was so grand, then the Duobao Tower in Qicheng would be even more extraordinary. Besides, he wanted to buy some soul pills for backup. Whether it is divine acting or three-dimensional arithmetic formation, there is a great demand for divine soul pills. Besides, the master gave him 10,000 Martial Lord Coins for monthly expenses. If he didn’t spend it, it would be wasted.
Before he found Duobao Building, he encountered a pawn shop instead. The pawn shop was called Qicheng Pawn Shop, and it looked quite large. He was moved. He had gained a lot of merit from doing tasks in Yancheng before, and he got a lot of bits and pieces by plundering sheep. In addition, the Sumeru ring that the old lady gave him also contained a lot of unused items. He might as well sell them all to get some money.
So, he turned around and went into the Qicheng pawnshop. This pawnshop in Qicheng is much more impressive than the pawnshop in Yancheng. There are more than thirty people in Chaofeng alone, and there are dedicated boys to serve every customer who comes to the door.
"Is the guest a gift or a redemption?" a boy asked with a smile and a very polite attitude.
Ye Ming said: "Pawn items."
The boy then invited Ye Ming to a court official. Ye Ming took out the storage ring, and Chao Feng just took it and took a look at it. He raised his hand and patted it on the paper, then made a densely written list and handed it to Ye Ming.
Ye Ming took a look and saw that every item had a price tag. The total price of everything was more than 70,000 Wuzun coins, which was about the same as he expected, so he nodded and agreed to the price. Before leaving, Na Chaofeng handed Ye Ming a sign and said with a smile: "Dear guest, this is the VIP card of our Qicheng Pawn Shop. You are now a first-class VIP. The next time you come again, you can get half the sale price." price."
Ye Mingxin said this was good. The more he sold, the higher the price would be, so he accepted it.
After coming out of Qicheng Pawnshop, not far away is Duobao Tower. As expected, the Duobao Tower in Qicheng has twenty-four floors, making it the tallest building around. He was a regular customer of Duobao Building, so he walked in immediately.
Bei Ming said: "Master, buy more soul pills, some talisman-making materials, formation materials, and things needed by the inscription master to facilitate research."
Ye Ming nodded. He had understood "Inscriptions" and "Falm Array" and had long wanted to try inscriptions, making talisman, and making magic arrays. However, the materials are very expensive. If not, there would not be so few inscription masters and rune masters in the world.
The credit card can use 10,000 Martial Lord Coins. Counting the 66,000 Martial Lord Coins rewarded by Tianyimen Arena, he has a total of 70,000 Martial Lord Coins hanging on his body. He thought for a while, fearing that the money would not be enough, he decided to sell part of the sixth-level spiritual stones he got at the bottom of Devil's Lake last time. Thirty-seven six-level spiritual stones, of various types, with different sizes and shapes, weighing about four thousand taels. Different types of level six spiritual stones have different prices. Ye Ming took out seventeen yuan and sold it.
After some haggling, Duobaolou's appraiser finally gave the price of 41,300 Wuzun coins. After this calculation, the price of one or two level six spiritual stones was worth about four hundred Wujun coins, which was within his acceptable range.
The first thing to buy is naturally the Soul Pill. The selling prices in Duobao Tower were basically the same in various places. After some consideration, he bought three thousand soul pills, each worth three hundred and fifty Wujun coins. After a 30% discount, the total price was forty-nine thousand Wujun coins.
The next step is to choose the tools for making the inscription. As the saying goes, the inscription master has three treasures: the inscription knife, the inscription sword and the rhinoceros horn. The inscription knife is used to engrave Qi meridians on weapons, which is equivalent to opening up meridians for weapons. The patterned sword creates an aperture-like existence for the weapon. As for rhino horn, it does not refer to ordinary rhino horn, but the small piece at the bottom of dragon rhino horn, which has super strong bonding energy.
The function of the dragon and rhinoceros horns is to stabilize the "meridians" and "acupoints" in the weapon to complete the final process.
Of course, the above refers to operating directly on the weapon. As the saying goes, inscription talismans are not divided into different families. Some inscription masters also practice talisman making, so they create inscription talismans. However, the effect of the inscription talisman is inferior to that of directly inscribing it on the weapon. The latter can be adapted to local conditions and will have a higher degree of compatibility.
Ye Ming was a newbie, so he naturally couldn't buy too good tools, so he asked the shopkeeper to recommend a set with the highest cost performance. Including the primary inscription sword, primary pattern sword, and low-level rhinoceros horn, their quotation is 42,000 Martial Lord Coins, which after a 30% discount is 29,400 Martial Lord Coins.
In comparison, Talisman Maker's tools are much cheaper. To make talismans, you need talisman paper, talisman pen, and talisman ink. Beiming told him that the bald pen he got from the treasury of Yan State was just a talisman pen, and it was of high grade, so there was no need to buy it separately, so he only bought some talisman paper and talisman ink.
The grade of the talisman paper and talisman ink corresponds to the grade of the talisman. Talismans are divided into nine levels, and talisman paper and talisman ink also have nine levels. Ye Ming mainly purchased it for basic hand training purposes, and finally spent 8,000 Wuzun coins.
The last thing I bought was the magic circle materials, which was more complicated. Things like formation flags, formation disks, etc. were all big items, and in addition, some odds and ends needed to be purchased. Ye Ming spent a long time choosing and spent 36,000 Martial Lord Coins before he bought something he was satisfied with.
Speaking of which, the magic circle can essentially be regarded as the fusion of inscription patterns and talisman making. Therefore, if a person is proficient in inscription patterns and talisman making, he is often also a master of formation techniques. Of course, most of the formation mages in the world are just formation mages. After all, a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to learn too much.
However, Ye Ming obviously does not have this awareness. He believes that since there is a three-dimensional arithmetic array and since he has understood the Chaos Sutra, he might as well learn it all.
When the general ledger was finally calculated, Ye Ming spent a total of 114,400 Wuzun coins. Excluding the 10,000 Wuzun coins deducted from the credit VIP card, he himself paid 104,400 Wuzun coins. Zun coins, there are about 12,000 Wuzun coins left in his pocket. He almost spent all the money from selling the spirit stones and the money he got from Tianyimen in one go.
When he walked out of Duobao Tower, he couldn't help but sigh and said to Bei Ming: "Sooner or later, all my wealth will be lost."
Bei Ming: "There is a lot of money, but it is valuable only if it is spent on cultivation. After the master becomes stronger, he can go out on adventures or take on tasks. There are many ways to make money."
Having said that, Ye Ming is still very heartbroken. He spent one hundred thousand martial coins just after coming to Qicheng. Can he pay it back in the future
Dongqi College is located in the center of Qi City. Ye Ming came to the entrance of Dongqi College and saw students coming in and out, which was very lively. The gate is very wide, with rows of shops open, offering all kinds of businesses, including brothels and casinos.
There was a tile-roofed house built at the gate. An old man was holding a small teapot, sipping tea as he looked at the students coming in and out, looking like he was enjoying it. The old man was dressed simply, with gray hair and beard, wrinkles on his face criss-crossed, and his triangular eyes always squinted.
Ye Ming came to the academy for the first time and didn't know anything, so he asked the old man: "Senior, where can newcomers register?"
The old man looked at Ye Ming and asked: "The registration time for newcomers has already passed. Are you recommended by the following?"
Ye Ming nodded: "This junior is the guard of the Dong Qi Hou Mansion. It was the young Marquis who recommended me."
The old man said: "That's right. If you walk a hundred steps in, you will see the registration desk. Show them your sign and they will arrange it."
Ye Ming thanked him and walked in quickly. There was an endless stream of students on the road, but no one noticed the arrival of this newcomer. Not long after walking, he saw the registration office. It was a three-story building, and the door was deserted. Apparently there were very few people checking in at this time.
On the first floor of the small building, facing the door, sat a young man, not much older than Ye Ming, with a square face and a very stereotyped expression. Ye Ming came in, he looked up and asked, "Reporting?"
Ye Ming quickly handed over the sign and said, "Yes, I'll report."
The young man took a look at the sign and said: "There are very few people registering now, and it is impossible for the college to teach you from scratch. So you have two options now. One is to wait until next spring to register again, and then you will be with the first-level freshmen. Study. The second option is to go directly to the current first-level student class to participate in training and evaluation."
Now that he's here, Ye Ming doesn't want to go in vain and says: "I choose the second option, go to the first-level student class."
The young man said: "I want to remind you that the first-level class will be evaluated every three months. After each evaluation, the 30% of students with the lowest scores will be expelled."
Ye Mingxin said that Dongqi College is really strict, and even 30% of them were expelled! However, he was not too worried and said he could accept it.
The young man immediately asked Ye Ming to fill out a form and asked him to go to the second floor to collect the corresponding items, such as water cups, quilts, etc. Fortunately, he had storage equipment, so it was not difficult to carry so many things, and then went to the Academic Affairs Office to receive them. Instructors divide classes.
The Academic Affairs Office is not far from the registration office and we arrived quickly. Ye Ming went to the door and saw several young mentors talking and joking there, so he knocked on the door.
A young woman looked over. She was quite beautiful, wearing tight-fitting black clothes, with curvy front and back, and her long hair was tied into a simple ponytail. She asked him: "What's the matter?"
Ye Ming said: "Hello, instructor, I am a newbie reporting."
