At noon, Wang Changsheng appeared deep in the Qingzhu Mountains and landed slowly outside a green bamboo forest.
The Wang family and two other immortal cultivating families have opened a city, which is similar in size to Qingzhufang City. However, the city opened by the family is far away from Ping'an County. Furthermore, his current duty is to guard Ping'an County. There is no special reason. If you rush back to Family Square City, you will be punished.
Through the bamboo forest, there is a narrow valley, overgrown with weeds, and at the end is a steep stone wall.
Wang Changsheng came to the stone wall. After a burst of blue light lit up his body, he walked towards the stone wall and burrowed into the stone wall.
After his eyes blurred, he suddenly appeared on a neat bluestone street.
A few feet ahead, there is a white stone archway with four golden characters "Qingzhufang City" engraved on it, and behind the archway, there is a long bluestone street.
On both sides of the street are buildings of different sizes, ranging from attics five to six feet high to simple stone houses.
People were coming and going on the street. These people were all cultivators. They walked into the shops on both sides of the street from time to time, which was very lively.
This was not the first time for Wang Changsheng to come to Qingzhufang City, so he walked along the street without stopping too much.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared in a square paved with bluestones. The square was very spacious and had dozens of stalls.
There are many products on the stall, including weapon refining materials, alchemy materials, talismans, and spiritual weapons, but they are all ordinary goods.
"Come and take a look at the fine golden marrow rice! Three pieces of spiritual stone per pound."
"The Golden Moon Sword, a medium-grade spiritual weapon, only requires eighty spiritual stones. It is extremely powerful. Come and take a look."
"A bottle of Qi Lian Pills, made by an experienced alchemist. Don't miss it when you pass by."
As we approached the square, there were constant shouts.
Most of the people who set up stalls in the square are casual cultivators. They can't afford to rent a store in the market. They don't charge any fees for setting up stalls in the square, so casual cultivators go to the square to set up stalls.
There are seven counties in Ningzhou, and each county has a small market. In order to attract casual cultivators to stay, each market will set aside an open space to set up stalls for casual cultivators for free.
Of course, stalls have strict restrictions. The length of the stall cannot exceed one foot and the width cannot exceed two feet. If you exceed this limit, you will be charged a fee. This is to protect the interests of the immortal cultivators who rent the shop.
Life is not easy for casual cultivators. The shops of the Xiuxian family will not recruit help from outsiders. Only a few retail traders or large shops will recruit help from outsiders.
Most of the casual cultivators have no special skills. They either resell supplies, work as guides in large markets, or work for people. As long as they can earn spiritual stones, no matter how hard or dirty the job is, there are casual cultivators rushing to do it.
Most casual cultivators make a living by hunting monsters and harvesting elixirs. This profession is very dangerous. Every year, countless casual cultivators die at the mouths of monsters. Even so, a large number of casual cultivators become demon hunters every year, specializing in hunting and killing. Demonic beasts harvest elixirs, and only a small number of casual cultivators go astray, killing people and grabbing treasures, becoming evil cultivators that everyone wants to beat.
The life of evil cultivators is even worse. Most casual cultivators are in poverty. They can't earn many spiritual stones by robbing and killing casual cultivators, and they may even lose money. As for the children of cultivating immortal families or disciples of sects, they have deep foundations and are protected by their elders. If you have the opportunity to do something, once the matter is exposed, you will be wanted and will be punished quickly.
Therefore, only a few monks who can't think of things will kill people and seize treasures, and evil cultivators often don't live long.
Liu Qing'er repeatedly told him to stay on Lotus Island and not run around to avoid being targeted by evil cultivators.
Wang Changsheng did not take his mother's advice to heart. He felt that his mother was unfounded. There were so many evil cultivators in the world. If they were not forced to do so, who would run to do evil cultivators? Even if there were evil cultivators, how could they be so lucky to target him.
He found an open space, took out a piece of coarse cloth, and placed the spiritual egg on it. Next to the spiritual egg, he also placed a sign with a line of words on it: The spiritual eggs laid by Xueyun Chicken can be exchanged for water attribute spiritual objects of the same value.
Spirit eggs contain rich spiritual energy and are suitable for all monks to take. However, Wang Changsheng practices water-attribute skills. In comparison, he needs water-attribute spiritual objects more.
Spirit eggs can be hatched into Snow Cloud Chickens. A first-level low-grade Snow Cloud Chicken is worth much more than a spirit egg. However, the spirit egg needs to absorb enough spiritual energy to hatch. Placing the spirit egg on top of a first-level spirit vein also costs two. It takes more than a month to hatch.
Although the spiritual vein he found was small, it was more than enough to hatch the spiritual egg, but he couldn't stay there all the time. If he was there and the spiritual egg was discovered and eaten by a poison-seeking rat, he would suffer a big loss. After much thought, he decided to go to Qingzhufang City and exchange the spirit egg for a water-attribute spirit object.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a simple face stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's stall.
"Fellow Taoist, I don't have any water-attributed spiritual objects in my hand. How about I buy some spiritual stones from you? How about ten spiritual stones!"
The middle-aged man's eyes showed some shrewdness.
Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man and said unceremoniously: "Do you think I am a rookie who has just stepped onto the path to immortality? I want to take advantage and go somewhere else."
Some experienced casual cultivators specialize in picking up scams in the squares where casual cultivators set up stalls. Only those rookie cultivators who don’t understand the market are deceived. Wang Changsheng has received comprehensive knowledge of cultivating immortals. He is not a rookie who has just entered the world of cultivating immortals. So easy to deceive.
The middle-aged man was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "It seems that fellow Taoist is also an expert. How about I pay you nineteen spiritual stones to buy this spiritual egg?"
The spirit eggs hatch into Snow Cloud Chickens, and you can earn a fortune of spirit stones by selling them. Although it takes a long time, the most important thing for casual cultivators is time.
"I won't sell it, I will only exchange it for a water attribute spiritual object of the same value." Wang Changsheng shook his head and refused.
"In this way, twenty-one spiritual stones cannot be more."
Wang Changsheng shook his head with a very firm attitude.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man didn't force himself and turned around to leave.
In the next half day, people stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's stall one after another, all wanting to trade with Wang Changsheng.
Some of them were willing to pay for the spiritual stones, some were willing to exchange for talismans and seals, and some were willing to exchange for spiritual weapons, but they were all rejected by Wang Changsheng.
The sky was getting dark, and various shops took out lighting tools one after another, illuminating the city brightly.
The stall owners also took out lighting moonstones to illuminate their stalls brightly.
Wang Changsheng thought for a moment, put away the spirit eggs, and wandered around the square to see if he could come across anything good.
There was a dazzling array of things on the stall. Wang Changsheng saw a few things that he liked, but he was short of money and did not buy them.
"Hey, what is this?"
Wang Changsheng let out a light sigh and stopped at a stall.
The stall owner is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a green skirt. She has a graceful figure, skin like snow, and long black hair that reaches her waist.
There were several monster materials, two bluestone wine bottles and two spiritual weapons placed on the stall. The two spiritual weapons were a string of blue beads and a green knife about a foot long.
Spirit weapons are commonly used weapons by monks in the Qi refining stage, and their prices range from tens to hundreds.
Wang Changsheng practices "Yunyu Jue" and is relatively sensitive to water aura. He can clearly sense that the water aura of the girl's stall in the green skirt is richer than that of other stalls, while the water aura near the blue bead string is richer.
He knelt down, picked up the blue bead string, and looked through it carefully.
He can be sure that the blue beads have the effect of gathering water spiritual energy. Although the water spiritual energy gathered is not very much, if he wears it on his body to practice, it will speed up his practice.
"What is the name of this spiritual weapon? What effect does it have? How many spiritual stones are there?" Wang Changsheng asked straight to the point.
"This middle-grade spiritual weapon, the Water Gathering Bead, is an auxiliary spiritual weapon. It has the effect of gathering water spiritual energy. It is refined from the clam beads of the first-order middle-grade spiritual beast Bihe Clam. Although the effect is not as good as that of the first-order gathering water. Water array, but if Taoist friends who practice water attribute skills wear it, their cultivation speed will be faster. Everything on the stall will only be exchanged for items of the same value and will not be sold." The woman in the green skirt said slowly, pointing to the stall A wooden sign on the wall.
Only then did Wang Changsheng notice that there was a wooden sign in the corner of the stall with the four characters "Only for exchange, not for sale" written on it.
Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment and took out the spirit egg and a green talisman from the storage bag.
"This is the spiritual egg laid by the first-order spiritual bird Snow Cloud Chicken. In addition to this first-order high-grade flying talisman, how about you exchange it for this water-gathering bead?"
The woman in the green skirt was a little moved, and her face looked thoughtful. After a while, she said: "Add five more spirit stones, and I will exchange them with you."
Wang Changsheng frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "This water-gathering bead of yours is obviously something that has been used by others. A spiritual egg plus a flying talisman is more than enough to replace your water-gathering bead. If the fairy doesn't Just be willing to exchange."
"Add another spirit stone, just one." The woman in the green skirt raised a finger.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed. This water-gathering bead could speed up his cultivation, and he really couldn't refuse it.
