135 Immortal City Difficult to Live (Part 3)
Master Lu, Su Chen and a group of five people visited the crowded Chaoge Night Market for several hours.
Su Chen found something else at the vendor's place that interested him.
Some monks sell low-level spirit beads of various five elements. A low-level five-type spirit bead is worth about 30 spirit stones. It contains various spiritual energy. Holding the spirit beads in your hand, you can cast low-level spells of various types. However, the spiritual energy stored in the low-level spirit beads is limited, and you will lose it after casting two or three times.
Su Chen compared the water spirit bead he got from the big fish monster. It was about the same size as the spirit beads of the spirit bead dealer, and it was worth about thirty spirit stones.
There are also vendors selling various low-level talismans. The cheapest five elements low-level talismans are about two or three spirit stones per.
In addition, there are vendors selling various low-level spiritual arts and jade slips. One jade slip records a spiritual art, such as fireball skills, etc., which is about thirty spirit stones per.
Su Chen compared the prices of vendors in this night market and finally figured out his own assets.
From the hands of Hanshan Zhenren Zhuang Wuhui, he obtained a volume of immortal cultivation techniques, eight jade slips for spiritual arts, eight jade slips for talismans, five or six low-level spiritual talismans and scattered talisman making materials.
These eight spiritual jade slips and eight spiritual talismans alone are worth hundreds of spiritual stones.
Of course, Su Chen didn't dare to sell these jade slips from Hanshan Zhenren. First, it would be easy to be noticed and something would happen, and second, he would also have to practice these spiritual techniques and talismans.
And this jade slip for cultivating immortals is probably even more expensive.
This sect’s immortal cultivation technique is not sold at night markets. The sect’s immortal cultivation techniques on the market are all ordinary public exercises, such as “Fire Burning Immortal Art”, “Xuanyi Art”, “Thick Earth True Art” and so on.
Su Chen didn't dare to inquire about the origin of this book of martial arts. Is this the ancestral cultivation technique of the merchant?
In addition, he did not find any sale, it should be a relatively non-subtle spiritual book.
The Water Spirit Pearl is worth thirty stones, but it is useful to him and cannot be sold.
As for the few fragmented spiritual materials he collected before, he could not buy them at the price. Only by making low-level spiritual talismans could he sell a few spirit stones.
The piece of osmanthus spiritual branch cut down by Qiaofu Wu can be used to make spiritual tea, but it is also very cheap, and is about two or three spiritual stones.
After counting, Su Chen was a little worried.
In this way, his property is very small and valuables cannot be exchanged for spirit stones.
There are only a few low-level talismans, which are useless for the time being. You can sell them for more than a dozen spirit stones and come back for use.
Master Lu saw that Su Chen was a little worried and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Su, don't be discouraged. You are a newcomer, so it's normal for you to lack spirit stones! I spent sixty or seventy years in Chaoge, and I finally reached the middle stage of Qi refining. My wealth is worth less than a few hundred spirit stones. It's not that easy to stand out in Chaoge City! Let's do it step by step!"
Before they knew it, the five of them visited the night market for a few hours and gained a lot of knowledge. Seeing that the night was over and the dawn was approaching, fewer and fewer cultivators in the night market were cultivating.
Su Chen already had some idea of his path to cultivating immortals.
Mr. Lu looked at the sky and it was almost time to leave the night market. He said a little embarrassedly: "The prices in this fairy city are high, the inn is too expensive, a piece of spirit stone for one night. I have no place to live in Chaoge Fairy City, so I can't entertain the two brothers. We are just other casual cultivators outside the city, living in a house."
There are guards in Chaoge Xiancheng, and the security is very good, and no one dares to cause trouble. When you live outside the city, the security is naturally worse. Among the people who practice immortals, there are also thieves.
Of course, there are many immortal cultivators in Chaoge Lingshan who live in Qi Refining, and everyone wants to live in peace and quiet. No one dares to offend the public and cause trouble in Chaoge Lingshan.
The biggest advantage of living outside the city is that you don’t charge money.
Su Chen, Wu Qiaofu and others were all short of money, so of course they all agreed and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in Chaoge Lingshan and settled down.
"There are masters of the spiritual woods on Chaoge Lingshan, so we can't cut them down. Let's go to the forest a hundred miles away and cut some back. I'll hire a carriage and pull the wood back."
"Leave the logging to me."
When Qiaofu Wu had a place to use his skills, he immediately patted his chest and said.
Four of the five of them were immortal cultivators, especially Wu Qiaofu was good at cutting wood. It was also easy to cut down the wood from several large carriages and pull them back to Chaoge Lingshan and live in a hut.
The house is not demanding, and ordinary solid wood is enough.
In just two or three days, they opened up a flat land in Chaogeling Mountain and built three wooden houses.
Su Chen and Anu, Master Lu and his young follower Zhang, and Wu Qiaofu lives alone. He lives next to each other, so he can take care of him if he has something to do.
After building a wooden house for settlement, they went to Chaoge Xiancheng to find work.
Wu Qiaofu still does his old job.
Some alchemy workshops and weapon refining workshops in Chaoge Fairy City require a large amount of low-level spiritual wood to make spiritual charcoal to burn. The fire is fierce and resistant to burning.
Although this spiritual wood is simple, it is not something that anyone can cut.
The bark of the spiritual wood is as hard as iron. The ordinary cultivator of the Qi Refining Stage may not cut it. Even if it is cut, it will quickly consume the spiritual energy, which takes a very long time. The first-level low-level spiritual wood is worth more than a dozen spirit stones. The first-level high-level spiritual wood is more valuable, but it is too difficult to cut.
This life is very hard, it is coolie.
Wu Qiaofu did not practice martial arts, did not practice spiritual skills, and did not like to do other things. He went into the mountains all day long to cut woodcuts and transported the spiritual wood back to Chaoge Xiancheng.
For him, cutting woodcutting is the best practice. If he can cut back a low-level spiritual wood and exchange it for one or two kilograms of spiritual valley, it will be enough for him to eat.
Master Lu seemed a little frowning. He had been in Chaoge Fairy City for sixty or seventy years. He had experienced and had an absolutely vicious vision and was very accurate in looking at people and things.
But the problem is that his luck is too great. He encounters all kinds of unlucky things as soon as he does things. He is most likely to lose money when doing business.
This made him very worried.
But no matter how difficult it is, he still has to do it. He took his young follower and went to Chaoge Xiancheng to look for business opportunities every day. The night market in Chaoge Xiancheng is fierce, and the profits of doing business are very low. There are not many immortal cultivators who can really earn spiritual stones.
It really doesn't work. He has some connections in Chaoge, so he goes to find a job to do it.
Su Chen originally wanted to do business, but he lacked the capital to do business, so he searched in Chaoge Fairy City for three days, wanting to see if there is any suitable job, and work for a few months first, earn more money and do business.
But the result of this search disappointed him very much.
"Let's come to my Song family's spiritual medicine garden to take care of the spiritual medicine, three spirit stones per month!" A manager of the Song family saw that Su Chen was a new casual cultivator, and he looked like he was rewarded with a job and was pity for food.
Seeing the arrogant Hengqiu, who was in charge of the affairs, Su Chen turned his head and left.
After searching for several days, as Master Lu said, the new cultivator in the early stage of Qi refining was looking for work in shops, workshops, and medicine gardens, and at most earn three or five spiritual stones a month. Even the expenses for self-cultivation were difficult to earn.
Su Chen was completely disappointed, so he was naturally unwilling to be exploited by these immortal cultivators in Chaoge Immortal City.
The only way left is to be a small vendor like Master Lu, setting up a stall to do some small business.
But business requires a certain amount of capital, otherwise it cannot be done
On that day, Su Chen returned to the wooden house where he lived. Anu was preparing the meal and waiting for him to come back.
This meal is all rice and vegetables for ordinary people, and you can buy it with silver.
After all, many mortals in Chaoge Fairy City do not have spirit stones and cannot afford the spirit valley. Even those who practice immortals in the Qi Refining Stage cannot be filled with spirit valleys and spirit flesh every time.
For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he would occasionally eat a meal of Ling Valley every three or five days, which was already very good.
Seeing Su Chen looking taciturn, Annu obviously couldn't find a suitable job today.
"Young Master, this is my newly learned cooking dish, try it!"
She was also a little sad, adding vegetables to Su Chen.
After dinner, Su Chen smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, there will always be a solution. I won't go out today and will go into seclusion indoors."
Su Chen sat cross-legged in the wooden house, thinking about what to do.
During the days when he was in Chaoge Fairy City, he did not hear Master Lu and others mention Lingshan. This made him very puzzled, but he could only swallow it in his stomach and slowly find opportunities to study it in the future.
Without capital, it is difficult to do business.
He sold several low-level spiritual talismans left by Hanshan Zhenren at a cheap price in the night market and exchanged them for ten spirit stones. What is this spiritual stone enough?! It is definitely not enough to do business.
Su Chen thought about it and thought of himself going to the Lingshan Fangcun Mountain in the Dantian Sea, and bought a 20-odd Ling Valley and came back for experiments.
Before, on his way to Chaoge Fairy City, he once planted spiritual beans in Lingshan. Few monks liked to eat spiritual beans, and most monks ate spiritual valleys.
Since spiritual beans can be planted, this spiritual valley can naturally be planted.
The only thing to consider is the question of how much it costs.
Su Chen thought of this and took a few Spirit Valley seeds into his spiritual mountain. He wanted to try how much benefit the Spirit Valley could bring.
But in addition to the Spirit Valley, it also needs the source of spiritual energy from the outside to allow it to grow.
Su Chen was reluctant to use the green energy he had cultivated to cultivate Linggu.
Then, he took out another spirit stone, held it in his hand, and could clearly feel a strong spiritual energy in the spirit stone.
However, it is difficult to extract the spiritual energy from this spirit stone. It takes up to one or two hours to extract the spiritual energy from the spirit stone. It is impossible to eat it directly like the Spirit Valley.
Only when cultivators recover their magic power will they use it and use the spirit stone to replenish the magic power consumed after exerting their magic power.
In contrast, the spiritual energy stored in the Water Spirit Pearl can be released instantly, and the speed of mobilizing the spiritual energy is far more than ten thousand times that of the spirit stone. With the help of the Water Spirit Pearl, even if he is not a water-based immortal cultivator, he can still perform low-level water-based spiritual techniques.
Su Chen grabbed the spirit stone hard and instantly crushed it.
Then absorb it into Lingshan and evenly scatter it near a few Linggu grains, so that these Linggu seeds can absorb the spiritual energy of the spirit stone.
Su Chen was observing carefully and observing the growth status of these Ling Valley seeds.
