134 Night Market Linggu and Xisui Dan (Part 2)(1/2)
At night.
The lights are brightly lit all night in Chaoge Fairy City, and the pearls and treasures of the Spirit Tower are shining, making it more noisy and lively.
There are shops of all sizes on both sides of the streets in the fairy city, mostly the industries of the immortal cultivator families. The various spiritual weapons, elixirs, immortal cultivator techniques, etc. sold in it are usually more expensive.
Mr. Lu took Su Chen and others to visit the Chengnan Night Market for a long time, and told them about the situation of the night market.
Chengnan Night Market is a large square.
Every night when the cultivators gather to set up stalls and sell some small goods.
Without a shop, the price is naturally slightly cheaper. Many immortal cultivators like to take advantage of the bustling night to stroll in the south of the city to see if they can find the spiritual objects they need to practice.
Some immortal cultivators hunted from afar, or found rare spiritual treasures, which they would sell in the night market.
If you have a good vision and can pick up good things that can be cheap, you can make a small contribution.
There are many small stalls and vendors in this night market, and the ground is filled with a wide range of goods, so pedestrians can only pass by.
Master Lu did not take them to see those precious spiritual weapons, immortal cultivation techniques, spiritual arts and secrets, etc. There were no spirit stones in his pocket, so it would be useless to see them.
Just go around in areas where all kinds of cheap and erotic goods are sold.
"Ling Valley, the Spirit Valley is sold! This guy, the top-grade Spirit Valley, only one or two Spirit Valleys sells one spirit stone! After eating it, you can save you ten days of hard work. Try two! "
The hawker saw that Su Chen, Wu Qiaofu and others were quite ruthless and hurriedly stopped him.
Su Chen had never eaten it before, so he curiously twisted two grains of Linggu rice and chewed it in his mouth.
The spiritual energy is quite strong.
Eating the rice cooked from this Linggu is probably more than ten times faster than practicing the cultivation technique.
But he was not familiar with the prices of Chaoge Fairy City.
I don’t know if one or two pieces of spirit stone is expensive or cheap?!
Master Lu, carrying his hands on his back, glanced at the rice bag from behind, but snorted coldly, "Boy, who are you puzzling? The beige in the Linggu in this bag is uneven, how many inferior rice is mixed in?"
"My Master, are these old friends of you? How many of you are so handsome... are new casual cultivators coming to the Immortal City? Then you can sell them to you a little cheaper, how about four spirit stones and five liang of spirit valleys?!"
The hawker was stunned.
He saw that Anu next to Su Chen was a mortal woman, and he couldn't help but say: "A mortal eats this Spirit Valley, and there is great hope that it can condense its soul and become an immortal! Or, buy a few taels to try your luck?"
"No need!"
Master Lu snorted twice, greeted Su Chen, Wu Qiaofu and others, and left swagger.
"The price of Chaoge Fairy City is based on the exchange of one or two top-grade spiritual valleys for a piece of spirit stone, which is the spiritual valley planted in the spiritual fields of the top ten families of Chaoge. These spiritual fields are at the foot of the mountain, closest to Lingshan, and the most abundant spiritual energy, so they are worth a spiritual stone.
The further away from the Lingshan Mountain, the more valuable the spiritual valley he planted is. His bag of inferior spiritual rice is all spiritual fields thirty or forty miles away, and he has barely been touched with a little spiritual energy. A piece of spirit stone can buy at least three or four taels of inferior spiritual valley!”
Master Lu said to Su Chen.
The reason why he took Su Chen to see the most common spiritual valley in the night market was that he was familiar with the prices so that he would not be deceived. In the future, he settled in Chaoge Fairy City to practice and often had to deal with these spiritual traffickers, and he would be fooled if he was not careful.
He has been doing business in Chaoge Fairy City for decades and has been very popular.
Wu Qiaofu only cut wood, did not do business, and did not practice immortality. He followed them and just watched the fun.
"Brother Lu, can mortals become immortals when they eat Spirit Valley?"
"Yes, this is the most normal way! All immortal cultivation families do this."
Master Lu, Su Chen and others were strolling and chatting.
Soon, Su Chen understood and solved many doubts.
His own cultivation progress is also the problem of slow progress, as well as how Anu, as a mortal, can embark on the path of immortality.
After Master Lu said this, Su Chen was surprised to find that these two problems were solved in the same way - eating spiritual objects.
No matter what kind of cultivation techniques the immortals in the Qi Refining Stage use, they essentially draw spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth, and transform it into vital energy through the spiritual marrow.
The spiritual energy in the air is thin, and at most hundreds of invisible spiritual energy particles float around several feet. No matter how powerful the cultivation technique is, the spiritual energy that can be drawn from the heaven and earth is very limited.
Even if it is a place with spiritual veins in the heaven and earth like Chaoge Lingshan, the spiritual energy is far dozens or hundreds of times higher than that in the secular world, but there are a huge group of immortal cultivation led by the 800 immortal cultivation families gathered here, and everyone is practicing, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough.
The effects brought by the immortal cultivation technique are very limited and are not enough to quickly improve the realm of Qi-refining cultivators.
In order to practice faster, monks have to adopt other methods.
The best way is to eat all spiritually rich foods including "spirit valley, spirit beans, spirit peaches, spirit tea, various spirit beast meats" and so on, so as to absorb more spiritual energy.
In this Chaoge Fairy City, most monks mainly focus on Ling Valley.
One or two top-grade spiritual valleys are about the price of a spirit stone, which is the cheapest food rich in spiritual energy.
The monk who has spare money often eats a meal of Linggu rice and makes a cup of Ling tea in his spare time.
This spiritual valley, spiritual tea contains rich spiritual energy, and the effect is equivalent to more than ten days of hard practice in immortal cultivation. The speed of cultivation can be increased instantly.
The immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage improves his soul's cultivation, while mortals have a certain chance of condensing the soul and turning them into immortals.
If the spiritual energy accumulates in the body of a mortal, it will form a powerful spiritual power, breaking through the barrier of the Niwan Palace, and thus a wisp of thought power enters the sea of consciousness. If there is spiritual marrow in this mortal body, the spiritual energy will be transformed into vital energy. Such a mortal can give birth to a soul in the body and successfully enter the realm of a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.
In Chaoge Fairy City, all the newborn children are mortals, and no one has the soul and spiritual marrow that are immortals when they are born. They all rely on the acquired eating of the spiritual energy of the Spirit Valley to become immortal cultivators.
The eight hundred families in Chaoge Fairy City will supply Linggu to the descendants of the young members of the family.
Every family member can receive a few taels of spiritual valley every month. In the long run, new cultivators will automatically be born among the family members.
Those who are over 20 or 30 years old and have no hope of becoming immortals will be "cut off" by their family and will no longer be supplied to Linggu.
For the immortal cultivation family, their only remaining function is probably to reproduce for the family. But they are reluctant to leave Chaoge Fairy City. Although they cannot do it themselves, their descendants may still be expected to become immortals.
When Su Chen heard this, he couldn't help but ignite hope.
As long as you find a solution, you only need to earn spiritual stones and buy more spiritual valleys.
"Brother Lu, how many spiritual valleys are there that ordinary people are expected to become immortals?"
"This depends on the potential of mortals to cultivate immortals. The potential of spiritual marrow is very strong, and ten kilograms of high-grade spiritual valley is enough. If it is bad, one hundred kilograms of spiritual valley. Most mortals are in the middle. If it is not enough to exceed one hundred kilograms of spiritual valley, it means that this person has no spiritual marrow and he must have no hope of cultivating immortals."
Master Lu said lightly.
He glanced at Su Chen with concern.
If the immortal cultivation family wants to train a mortal to become an immortal cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, the cost is about 100 spirit stones to 1,000 spirit stones.
There is a huge risk here. If this mortal does not have spiritual marrow, then the early investment of hundreds to thousands of spiritual stones will be in vain.
It is difficult for a casual cultivator to earn spirit stones, and usually he will not waste huge energy to cultivate a mortal.
Only when the eight hundred immortal cultivation families in Chaoge Immortal City accumulate over a long period of time can they have the financial resources to cultivate their descendants into immortal cultivation personnel in the Qi Refining Stage.
"That is, one hundred spirit stones to one thousand spirit stones can transform into immortals."
Su Chen couldn't help but think.
It seems that the first thing I do in Chaoge Fairy City is to find a way to earn more spirit stones.
"This is not an easy task!"
Master Lu smiled and said, "You are a newcomer and casual cultivator like Brother Su, who is in the early stage of Qi refining, and you can find a job in a shop or workshop in Chaoge Xian City. You can earn three or five spirit stones in about a month.
If you set up a vendor yourself and do business, you can’t say it. Judging from your personal perspective, you can make a small profit or lose a lot, and profit and loss are common.
Or go to the distance to hunt low-level spirit beasts and earn dozens or hundreds of spirit stones at a time. But it’s too dangerous. You have just come to Chaoge and haven’t learned any protective magic. Don’t take risks.”
"So low?!"
Su Chen couldn't help but look shocked.
A novice in the early stage of Qi refining work in a shop for a month before earning three or five spirit stones. It can reach up to fifty spirit stones a year.
It will take at least two or three years to accumulate the lowest 100 spirit stones. This is just the lowest limit of the Spirit Valley. If one thousand spirit stones are needed, it will happen decades later.
The little hope that had just ignited in Anu's eyes also dimmed.
This is too difficult...the hope is slim.
Besides, this cannot guarantee that she will become an immortal. If she has no spiritual marrow and fails... it will be a loss and will also drag Su Chen to cultivate immortality.
"Take it slowly, don't worry. Many mortals in the Chaoge Fairy City are staying here and unwilling to leave, just wanting to try their luck. Maybe one day after eating a bowl of Linggu, they will become immortals in the Qi Refining Stage."
Master Lu couldn't help but comfort him when he saw that both of them had changed his face.
Five people continued to stroll in the night market.
In addition to the staple food of Linggu, Lingtao is also very popular. It doesn’t even need to be cooked, just wash it and eat it directly, which is extremely convenient. The price of a Lingtao is about the same as a liang of Linggu.
Su Chen saw a monk in gray sitting alone in a stall.
Unlike other vendors who have set up a large number of goods in a dazzling array of goods, there is only a small box in front of him, and there is a spiritual pill filled with energy.
Occasionally, a Qi-refining monk passed by and asked curiously.
"Marceal Cleansing Pill! One thousand spirit stones, no bargaining price!"
The frivolous offer from the gray monk shocked them.
This is too expensive to afford.
To be continued...
