At noon, Wang Changsheng appeared in the depths of the Green Bamboo Mountains and slowly landed outside a green bamboo forest.
The Wang family and two other immortal cultivators have opened a square market, which is similar in size to Qingzhufang City. However, the square market opened by the family is far from Ping'an County. Besides, his current duty is to guard Ping'an County. There is no special reason. Rushing back to the family square is to be punished.
Passing through the bamboo forest, there is a narrow valley with overgrown weeds and a steep stone wall at the end.
Wang Changsheng came to the stone wall, and after a burst of blue light lit up on his body, he walked towards the stone wall, and the whole person drilled into the stone wall.
After a blink of an eye, he suddenly appeared on a neat bluestone street.
A few feet in front, 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 five to six zhang high attics to simple stone houses.
People come and go on the street. These people are immortal cultivators. They walk into the shops on both sides of the street from time to time, which is very lively.
It was not the first time for Wang Changsheng to come to Qingzhufang City.
Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared in a square paved with bluestone. The square was very spacious with dozens of stalls.
There are many commodities on the booth, including alchemy materials, alchemy materials, talismans, and spiritual tools, but they are all ordinary goods.
"The best golden marrow spirit rice, come and have a look! Three spirit stones a pound."
"The middle-grade spiritual tool, the Golden Moon Knife, requires only 80 spiritual stones, and it is extremely powerful. Come and take a look."
"A bottle of Qi-refining pills is made by experienced alchemists. Don't miss it when you pass by."
As soon as they approached the square, the shouting continued.
Most of the people who set up stalls in the square are casual cultivators. They can’t afford to rent a storefront in Fangshi, so they don’t charge any fees to set up a stall in the square.
There are four counties in Ningzhou, and each county has a small square market. In order to attract the loose cultivators to stay, each square city will set aside an open space for the free cultivators to set up stalls.
Of course, there are strict restrictions on booths. The length of the booth cannot exceed one zhang, and the width cannot exceed two feet. If this limit is exceeded, a fee will be charged. This is to protect the interests of the immortal cultivator who rents the store.
The life of a loose cultivator is not easy. The shop of the Xiuxian family will not recruit outsiders to help, only a few retail investors or large shops will recruit outsiders.
Most of the loose cultivators don't have a skill. They either sell supplies, work as a guide in a large market, or work for others. As long as they can earn spirit stones, no matter how hard or dirty the work is, there are scattered cultivators rushing to do it.
Most of the loose cultivators make a living by hunting monsters and picking spiritual medicines. This profession is very dangerous. I don’t know how many loose cultivators die in the mouth of monsters every year. Even so, a large number of loose cultivators become monster hunters every year, specializing in hunting and killing. Monster beasts pick elixir, and only a small number of loose cultivators take the evil path, killing people and stealing treasures, becoming evil cultivators that everyone shouts and beats.
The life of the evil cultivator is even more difficult. Most of the loose cultivators are destitute, and they can't earn much spiritual stones from robbery and killing loose cultivators, and maybe they will lose money. As for the children of the Xiuxian family or the disciples of the sect, they have a deep background and have elders to protect them. The opportunity to start, once the matter is revealed, will be wanted, and will soon be subdued.
Therefore, only a few cultivators will kill people if they can't think of it, and evil cultivators often don't live long.
Liu Qing'er repeatedly told him to stay on Lotus Island honestly and not to run around to avoid being targeted by evil cultivators.
Wang Changsheng didn't take his mother's advice to heart. He felt that his mother was unfounded. There are so many evil cultivators in the world. If they were not forced, who would go to do evil cultivators?
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 placed a sign with a line of words on it: The spiritual egg laid by Xueyun Chicken can be exchanged for a water-type spiritual item of the same value.
The spirit egg contains a strong spiritual energy, which is suitable for all monks to take, but Wang Changsheng practiced the water attribute exercises. In contrast, he needed water attribute spirits more.
Spirit eggs can be hatched into Xueyun chickens. A first-order low-grade Xueyun chicken is much more valuable than spirit eggs, but spirit eggs need to absorb enough aura to hatch. Putting spirit eggs on first-order spirit veins requires two It takes months to hatch.
Although the spiritual vein he found was small, it was more than enough to hatch spiritual eggs, but he couldn't stay there all the time. If he was there and the spiritual egg was found and eaten by a drug-seeking rat, he would have lost a lot of money. After thinking about it again and again, he still plans to go to Qingzhufang City and replace the spirit egg with a water-type spirit.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's booth.
"Fellow Daoist, I don't have any water-type spirits in my hands. How about buying them with you? How about ten spirit stones!"
The middle-aged man's eyes revealed a bit of shrewdness.
Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man, and said unceremoniously, "Do you think I'm a rookie who has just stepped into the immortal way? I want to take advantage and go somewhere else."
Some experienced loose cultivators specialize in picking up leaks in the square where they set up stalls, and only those rookies who do not understand the market will be deceived. Wang Changsheng has received comprehensive knowledge of cultivation, but he is not a rookie who has just entered the cultivation world. So cheating.
The middle-aged man was not annoyed, he smiled shyly and said, "It seems that fellow Daoist is also an expert. How about I buy this spiritual egg with 19 spiritual stones?"
Spirit eggs hatch into snow cloud chickens, and you can earn a fortune of spirit stones if you sell them. Although it takes a long time, the most important thing for loose cultivators is time.
"I won't sell it, I'll only exchange it for water-type spirits of the same value." Wang Changsheng shook his head and refused.
"In this way, there can't be more twenty-one spirit stones."
Wang Changsheng shook his head, his attitude was very firm.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he didn't force it, he turned around and left.
In the next half-day, people stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's booth one after another, all wanting to trade with Wang Changsheng.
Some of them were willing to buy spiritual stones, some were willing to exchange talismans, and some were willing to exchange spiritual tools, but they were all rejected by Wang Changsheng.
The sky was getting dark, and various shops took out lighting tools one after another to brighten the market.
The stall owners also took out the moonstones that illuminated the booths to brighten the booths.
Wang Changsheng thought for a while, put away the spirit egg, and wandered around the square to see if he could come across something good.
There were a lot of things on the booth. Wang Changsheng saw a few things that he liked, but he was too shy to buy them.
"Hey, what is this."
Wang Changsheng let out a small murmur and stopped at a stall.
The stall owner is a 16- or 17-year-old girl in a green skirt, with a graceful figure, snow-like skin, and long black hair that reaches her waist.
There were several kinds of monster materials, two bluestone jugs, and two spiritual tools on the booth. The two spiritual tools were a string of blue beads and a blue knife that was about a foot long.
Spirit weapons are commonly used weapons for cultivators in the Qi refining period, and their prices range from dozens to hundreds.
Wang Changsheng practiced the "Yunyu Art" and was more sensitive to the water aura. He could clearly sense that the water aura of the girl in the green skirt was stronger than other booths, and the water aura near the blue bead string Relatively strong.
He squatted down, picked up the blue beads, and looked at it carefully.
He can be sure that the blue bead string has the effect of gathering water aura. Although there is not a lot of water aura gathered, if it is worn on the body to practice, it will speed up his practice.
"What is this spiritual tool called? Does it have any effect? How many spiritual stones?" Wang Changsheng asked straight to the point.
"This middle-grade spiritual tool, water-gathering beads, is an auxiliary spiritual tool, which has the effect of gathering water aura. It is made from the mussels of the first-order middle-grade spiritual beast, Bihe mussels, although the effect is not as good as the first-order gathering. Water array, but if you wear it on your body, you will speed up your practice. Everything in the booth will only be exchanged for things of the same value and will not be sold." The woman in the green skirt said slowly, pointing to the booth. on a wooden sign.
Only then did Wang Changsheng notice that there was a wooden sign in the corner of the booth with the words "Only for exchange, not for sale" written on it.
Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then took out a spirit egg and a green talisman from his storage bag.
"This is the spirit egg laid by the first-order spiritual bird Xueyun Chicken, plus this first-order high-grade flying talisman, how about this water-gathering bead?"
The woman in the green skirt was a little moved, and her face looked thoughtful. After a while, she said, "I'll exchange five more spirit stones with you."
Wang Changsheng frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This water-gathering bead of yours is obviously something that others have used, a spirit egg plus a flying talisman, it is more than enough for your water-gathering bead, if the fairy doesn't If you are willing to exchange it.”
"Add another spiritual stone, just one." The woman in the blue skirt raised a finger.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed, this water-gathering beads could speed up his cultivation, and he really couldn't refuse.
