"Having said that, I bought this invitation this time not just to go in and learn more. I have already inquired about it. At this auction, the Shengye Sect will bring out a kind of medicine called Huayuan Dan. The elixir can help break through the bottleneck in the foundation building period. Its efficacy is better than those currently on the market. It is said that the output is extremely rare and not many bottles can be made in a year. Therefore, except for the bottle sold at the auction, only Orders from other sects are not sold to casual cultivators," Yu Qingli said.

"Hey, I remember the last time we met, Qingli, didn't you still complain about the slow pace of practice in the foundation building period, and you don't know when you can reach the initial bottleneck? Is it too early to think about buying pills to assist breakthroughs now?" Zhang Zhi said doubtfully.

"Hehe, Brother Zhang, you don't know something. The Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop in the city seems to have opened a few years ago. It has released a new product called Zi Xuanxiang. The effect is much better than Qingxuanxiang. In the past two years, I have But by buying it frequently and using it in conjunction with the elixir, my cultivation speed is much faster than before, and my current cultivation level has reached the peak level of the early stage of foundation building." Yu Qingli said with a smile.

"Oh, is this happening? I also bought a stick of Qingxuan Incense before. At that time, I thought the effect was too poor and it was only suitable for use during the Qi Refining period. I didn't expect that it can also be used during the Foundation Establishment period. It seems that it will be used later. When I go back, I have to buy a few to use." Zhang Zhi said in surprise.

"I'll go back later. Their incense is limited. If you go now, even the Qingxuan incense will be sold out. Are you still thinking of buying the Zixuan incense? What a dream!" Yu Qingli shook his head.

"So popular? When will his store open? I should go to the head office early." Zhang Zhi frowned.

"His store opens at 9am in the morning, but there are so many people buying. If you really have to queue up, you still have to go in the middle of the day to grab a few. However, there is a way here that doesn't require queuing, but I don't know if Brother Zhang is willing. Yes." Yu Qingli said.

Zhang Zhi saw the malicious smile on his face and felt a little guilty in his heart, but he still couldn't resist Zi Xuanxiang's temptation.

"Brother Yu, stop being so secretive and just tell the truth."

"Actually, I have been patronizing his business for a long time, and I have saved a lot of points. I can make a reservation from the store one day in advance. However, the number of Zi Xuanxiang purchased by the same person in one day is also limited. If I give it to you, I There will be less here." Yu Qingli's words were full of profound meaning.

Zhang Zhi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yu and I have been friends for so long, so naturally I won't let you suffer. How about I pay 10% more for each incense stick?"

Yu Qingli nodded and agreed with a smile.

However, at this moment, Yuan Ming beside him suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Yu, I heard that if the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop finds out that someone is reselling spiritual incense by using points, he will be blacklisted by the shop and will never be seen again. You’d better be more cautious when selling incense to him.”

Hearing this, Yu Qingli was stunned, but Zhang Zhi reacted and burst into laughter.

"Brother Yu, we have been friends for many years. How can I bear to see you suffer a loss? To be on the safe side, I'd better buy it from you at the market price. Otherwise, it will be bad if someone reports you."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Yu Qingli's face, and he glared at Yuan Ming fiercely, but he could only hold his nose and agree to Zhang Zhi's request.

Yuan Ming didn't take it seriously. After all, regular customers with points would get discounts on perfume purchases. After all, Yu Qingli still made a profit.

The reselling business cannot be forbidden, and Yuan Ming does not have the free time to take care of each one, but it is all happening before his eyes, so he must always remind him.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, since you want to make a reservation, why don't you help me order a few sticks of beauty incense? You probably won't need this. How about I give it to you at the market price?" Fairy Hua also said.

Seeing this, fellow Taoist surnamed Lu stroked his beard and couldn't help but sigh: "Even the monks who want to buy incense have to make a reservation. The business of this Xuanhua Lingxiang shop is really booming. The boss behind the scenes is probably making a fortune. ?”

"That's not true. According to the price of spiritual incense in his store, if it is sold out every day, he will earn thousands of spiritual stones just sitting at home in a month." The monk surnamed Cui also nodded, his words full of envy.

"That's great! The top disciples of Changchun Temple are not treated like this. If I can open a shop like this in my life, I will be satisfied." Zhang Zhi sighed.

"Come on, it's just you? You should just do some alliance-breaking tasks honestly. You don't have a separate business, how can you make such a profit." Yu Qingli said with a smile.

"It's so easy to lose money if you're just doing simple business? Besides, compared to opening a shop, it's more dangerous to do the task of breaking up the alliance, right? Not to mention the usual exploration of secret realms and escorts chasing murderers. I heard that there were some The alliance was ruined and they started to engage in human trafficking, specifically deceiving local monks to strange places to poison and frame them. Those who were lucky would have their cultivation level sealed and rush to dig for spiritual stones. Those who were unlucky would be sold directly to evil cultivators as materials for blood sacrifices. ." Zhang Zhi said.

"Really? So scary?" Yu Qingli was surprised.

"I have a friend who encountered a similar situation. When he accepted the mission, he said he was going to a mountain forest in the northern part of Zhao State. As a result, he walked closer and closer to the Northern Desert. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and ran away immediately when he realized something was wrong. I saved my life," said the monk surnamed Cui.

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces after hearing this, and at this moment, Jiang Xiong, who was sitting at the table next to him, leaned over again.

"Everyone, I am from the Northern Desert, and there are some things I shouldn't say in the first place. It's just that a few fellow Taoists were so enthusiastic to help me just now. If I don't remind you, I would feel really sorry. In fact, in the past few years, our cultivation world in the Northern Desert has The situation is a bit strange. Many monks have disappeared inexplicably, and many people with little potential have suddenly emerged. Slaves in the Qi Refining Period often appear in the black market of Wangyue City. If possible, it is best not to get close to the Northern Desert. In fact, If you want to go, you must be well prepared.”

His words made everyone tense up, and Yu Qingli laughed a few times and quickly changed the topic, which relaxed the atmosphere a little.

But after this encounter, they stopped talking about other rumors and rumors, and instead started chatting about trivial matters. Yuan Ming listened on the side, adding a few words from time to time, and after staying there for more than half an hour, Just stood up to say goodbye.

However, when he was going out, he suddenly saw Hu Tu driving a carriage hurriedly and stopped in the alley behind the tea house.

Seeing that Hu Tu didn't seem to notice him, Yuan Ming was a little curious, so he quietly stood at the entrance of the alley.

In the alley, Hu Tu jumped off the carriage and knocked on the back door of Sixiang Tea House.

"Who is it?" A man in light blue clothes stuck his head out.

"Xuanhua Ling Incense Shop, as agreed with your manager, has sent incense." Hu Tu rubbed his hands.

The clerk glanced at him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll call the steward."

Not long after, a middle-aged male cultivator came out. When he saw it was Hu Tu, he smiled and cupped his hands.

"Oh, Brother Hu Tu, you can just ask someone from me to do this kind of thing. Why bother to go there yourself?"

"There is no other way. The boss has sent a message and asked me to tell you that from now on, the incense you want will be supplied centrally and delivered on the first day of each month. And when you use it, don't forget to help us promote it." Hu Tu said.

"It's easy to talk about." The steward nodded, counted them one by one, and confirmed the number. Then, he turned around and entered the building, and soon walked out carrying a storage bag.

"Brother Hu Tu, do you want some of the Xiangqian from your store?"

Hu Tu took the storage bag, counted the spiritual stones inside, and suddenly raised his head: "Manager Xu, the spiritual stones you gave me seem to be a bit too much, right?"

"Hehe, this is the hard-earned money I specially prepared for Brother Hu Tu. It's just a little thought. It doesn't matter. It's the rules of the city lord's palace." Manager Xu said with a smile.

Hu Tu rolled his eyes, and then put away the storage bag without changing his expression: "With the friendship between you and me, even if Manager Xu doesn't mention such a trivial matter, I won't forget it."

After chatting for a few more words, the two laughed together.

Outside the alley, Yuan Ming turned around and left.

…

After Yuan Ming returned home, he sat down cross-legged and carefully thought about the information he got from the teahouse trip.

The news about Sha Hao spread throughout the city, and even the deaths of Gu Qiulong and Xu Changqing were blamed on him. Now there are countless people who want his life.

It's just that it would be okay to kill him directly, because some people are worried about Sha Hao's soul cultivation skills and deliberately spare his life so that he can have the opportunity to reveal his soul cultivation identity.

Yuan Ming thought of the reward for Pu Zhengqing on the list of evil cultivators and the word "capture alive" marked at the back. His face suddenly darkened, and he felt more murderous intent towards Sha Hao.

It is not difficult for him to find Shahao. At most, if he uses the soul seal a few more times, he should be able to find some information about his location.

However, most of his magic weapons are now destroyed, and Shahao is a master of illusion. If he does not make sufficient preparations, he may find it difficult to keep Shahao.

In the past few days, he has also visited all the shops in Xiaohu City, but he has not found the best magic weapon he likes. If he still wants to buy one, he may have to go to Tianxiang Auction.

It's just that the new magic weapon may not be as useful as the magic weapon he was used to before. Rather than buying a new one, he still wants to upgrade the black needle in his hand into a top-quality magic weapon.

He thought for a moment, then took out the weapon-refining books he had bought in the past few days and read them carefully.

He bought these books at a high price, and they contain a lot of content about top-quality magical weapons.

He had already learned the basic content in the book in Bi Luo Cave, so he quickly skipped it and focused on the explanation and analysis of the best magical weapons.

For monks in the alchemy stage, the best magic weapon can also be called a "treasure embryo" and can be regarded as a magic weapon that has not yet been refined.

It's just that unlike magic weapons, the runes on top-quality magic weapons cannot be connected in series to form a talisman array, and they still exist independently of each other.

Not all magical weapons can withstand the fourth rune being engraved and become the best magical weapons. The fundamental reason is that there are differences in spiritual materials.

For ordinary spiritual materials, the upper limit of being able to carve three runes has been reached. If you want to add one more, it will destroy the original balance of the runes, causing the runes to break, and the material of the magic weapon to be unable to withstand the power and be damaged.

Only a magic weapon that has the best spiritual materials added to it during the refining process can withstand the imprinting and imbuing of the fourth rune. Even if it fails, the magic weapon will only be reduced by one level and will not be completely damaged. .
