Gou Zai Shen seeks immortality

Chapter 2 Difficulties in casual cultivation

Dahuangfang City belongs to the Five Elements Sect. It was originally a city opened by the Five Elements Sect on the edge of the Dahuang.

In the past ten years, more and more monks have gathered, and the scope has expanded. Many casual monks no longer call Dahuangfang City, but Dahuang City.

The official name is Dahuangfang City.

This is a large city covered by a magic circle, covering an area of more than ten miles.

Fangshi is close to Dahuang Mountain, and what you see are trapezoidal spiritual fields.

Green seedlings and rice are planted in the Lingtian. Before the harvest season, the green rice sways in the wind, which is quite spectacular.

"Do you have an ID token?"

"When entering Fang City, you are not allowed to stay overnight without a place to stay."

The guards questioned the new monks and gave them a warning as usual. When he saw Jia Ren carrying a fish basket, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Fisherman came back so early? How was your catch today?"

"Don't get too close, stay away from me!"

Smelling the fishy smell, the guard subconsciously took a few steps away, unable to hide the contempt in his eyes.

The spiritual fish crisis in Yanbo Lake arose the day before yesterday. The monks who knew about the dangers of Yanbo Lake were just happy and didn't pay attention.

As the first casual cultivator to take advantage of Jia Ren, he did not earn any spiritual stones, but instead attracted a large number of casual cultivators to compete for food.

Really miserable.

As both casual cultivators, there is also a chain of contempt.

The highest level is the casual cultivator who has mastered the art of cultivating immortals and possesses the art of eating. The level of skill is average, and one can barely make ends meet, but the level of skill is high and there is a chance to become a guest of the family and sect.

Secondly, he has a stable source of income, which is similar to his position as a guard in Dahuangfang City. The spiritual stones he earns every month are acceptable, not enough compared to those above, but more than below.

The worst thing is that they are casual cultivators who are busy all day long, their income is not stable, and their livelihood is precarious.

Every few years some familiar faces disappear.

"One green jade carp, a dozen small fish, barely making ends meet."

Jia Ren didn't care that the guard dog looked down upon others, and was happy to use the other person's mouth to spread the word.

"What a piece of shit luck..."

The guard's mood suddenly became bad. When he could no longer see Jia Ren, he rolled his eyes.

"I'll help you publicize Yanbo Lake more and attract more casual cultivators. Let's see if you can still laugh."

He didn't know that his dark thoughts coincided with the results Jia Ren wanted to achieve.

Jia Ren changed the way he made money, hoping that the more people could promote Yanbo Lake, the better.

…

Dahuangfang City initially only had an inner city. As more and more casual cultivators gathered, its size expanded several times.

To this day, it is divided into four districts: southeast, northwest, southeast and the inner city.

The four districts of southeast, northwest and northwest are collectively referred to as the outer city, where the casual cultivators at the bottom who are looking for a living gather.

The inner city belongs to the core area of Fang City, and the spiritual energy is more intense. There are also caves specially opened for high-level monks, and the spirit gathering array is arranged, which is far from comparable to the outer areas.

The price of the cave...

A piece of spiritual stone a day is a sky-high price for low-level casual cultivators.

Jia Ren lives in the West District and often visits Fangshi in the West District.

There are two sales channels for catching fish. One is to sell it to Xianzhai, a restaurant. The price will be suppressed by the purchasing manager, and the profit is not much.

Setting up a stall takes a long time and the selling price is much higher.

After paying the booth fee of one piece of soul per day, we came to Fangshi, West District.

At noon, there was an endless stream of casual practitioners, and the sound of hawking came and went.

"White corn is cheap, two pieces per pound, don't miss it if you pass by."

"Big sale of low-grade magic weapons, every item is a high-quality product."

"The Poison Widow beast eggs are sold cheaply. Do you want a powerful spiritual beast? It is perfect!"

"Excellent Talisman Stall, a ten-year-old brand with guaranteed reputation."

Jia Ren stepped on the muddy path, smelling a stench similar to that of sewers, and the smell of urine coming from nowhere, and he couldn't help but frown.

Until now, he still can't adapt to the dirty and messy environment of Fangshi.

Wearing animal skin boots, we tried our best to avoid muddy areas, and it took us a long time to find a suitable open area.

A large skin bag was taken out from the storage bag, and thirteen spirit fish were thrown into the skin bag.

"Water Gathering Technique!"

Subtle spiritual energy fluctuations spread out, and the water splashes gathered together, like a spring, filling the water skin in a moment.

Spirit fish have a tenacious vitality and cannot die if they are not out of water for more than two quarters of an hour.

A thin wire mesh covers the skin bag to prevent the spirit fish from jumping out.

A price sign was erected: A catty of green-scaled crucian carp can be broken into pieces.

Six pounds and eight taels of green jade carp, three spiritual stones and four broken spirits.

Jia Ren sat on the animal skin and waited for business to come to him.

Lingyu is not expensive and has its own advantages as Lingmi.

Yanbo Lake has always been a forbidden area, and there is a shortage of spiritual fish, so it is not difficult to sell them.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, the harvest is good, there are also green jade carp, Yanbo Lake is a good place."

"Tell me the secret, I also have an idea for fishing."

The fisherman showed up in West District Fang City and had a good harvest. Catching green jade carp is the best sign.

The casual cultivator in Xifang City who was looking for a living came over to get close to him with a smile.

In the past, Jia Ren would definitely have tried every means to drive him away so as not to disturb his business.

“The most important thing in fishing is bait. If you want to catch more fish, you must use high-quality bait.”

"Starting from tomorrow, Jia will be selling bait. I hope all fellow Taoists will take care of their business."

"must."

The casual cultivators said a few polite words and left one after another.

Less than half an hour after setting up the stall, there were only two-inch-long small green-scaled crucian carp left, and the green jade carp was also bought by a large buyer who did not bargain.

Jia Ren was in a good mood and received four spiritual stones and two broken spirits in a short period of time.

"It's time to restock."

The materials used to make bait are not ordinary, otherwise, it would not be attractive to spiritual fish.

Green sprout rice, earthworm powder, Polygonatum sibiricum plus musk and a little fruit wine.

Putting away the stall and the spirit fish, Jia Ren went straight to the familiar stall.

"Fellow Daoist Jia, we have collected ten more ground dragon worms. Do you want more?" A simple and honest man with a black and red face stood up from the stall. He kept waving to Jia Ren with an indelible smile on his face.

Earthworms are garbage spiritual insects, naturally beneficial insects, and spiritual farmers are too lazy to take care of them.

Since Jia Ren's fishing has attracted many casual cultivators to follow the fishing trend, earthworms have become popular. The number of casual cultivators buying earth dragon worms has increased, which has become an extra income for spiritual farmers.

"I've got ten ground dragon worms, and I'll bring twenty kilograms of green sprout rice."

"Twenty pounds of green sprout rice and two spiritual stones, ten earth dragon insects and one spiritual stone, Cheng Hui has three spiritual stones in total."

After speaking, Yang Bingzhi rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Jia Ren took the green sprout rice and inspected it carefully.

Not every stall can guarantee quality, and it’s normal to pass off shoddy products.

The quality is good and I didn't get any defective products. He is of sufficient weight and has no shortage of weight. He is an honest man.

The ten ground dragon worms are of acceptable size, each one is more than a foot long, and the quality is very satisfactory.

"We will continue to cooperate in the future."

"Definitely, I also hope to earn more spiritual stones with Daoist Jia."

"Do you want the Earthworm Corpse? It's become so popular recently. It's cheap in large quantities."

Jia Ren glanced at the Earthworm corpse, showing no interest.

There is still half a piece of Huangjingzhi in hand, and the rest is Lingmusk and fruit wine. The price of the former is on the high side, and a defective product as big as the belly of your little finger costs one spiritual stone and two broken spirits.

After spending half a day negotiating the price, I managed to cut off the two broken spirits.

The dosage of Lingmusk is not much, and the external version is available so you can save as much as you can.

Finally, there is fruit wine, which is the favorite cheap spirit wine of casual cultivators. One piece of spirit makes a pot. I bought three bottles at once, and used the excess drinks to satisfy my appetite.

"Everyone makes money, everyone spends money, but don't even think about taking home a penny."

Four spirit stones and two broken spirits are all spent, and an additional broken spirit is added.

"It's time to go back to making bait."

Jia Ren arrived at the edge of the West District without incident. Simple bluestone houses are scattered all over the place.

From time to time, you can see yellowing pools of water and mud everywhere. You can still vaguely smell the smell of urine and residual feces, and the environment is no less than that of slums in some backward areas.

Dahuangfang City is located in a remote area with many monsters and monsters, and is thousands of miles away from the nearest human stronghold.

The only fertile land grows precious spiritual rice. Ordinary rice has to be transported by foreign caravans. It is said that one tael of gold and one pound of rice have no room for mortals to survive.

Most of the monks are indifferent by nature, and they sweep away the snow in front of their doors.

Dahuangfang City will not spend any energy on improving the environment. If things go on like this, alternative slums will be born.

Jia Ren carefully avoided the 'bomb crater' and entered the stone house.

The stone house is not big and has all the necessary features.

Lounge, bait room, kitchen and guest area are all available.

Jia Ren first threw the spirit fish into the water tank, then skillfully found the rice tank and took out half a catty of ordinary rice.

The green sprout rice I just bought is still placed in the storage bag and has not been poured into the rice vat.

Safety cannot be guaranteed in the West District. Thieves often visit. The stone house is not protected by a magic circle. It is best to carry valuable belongings with you.

Mix half a pound of jade-colored green sprout rice and half a pound of ordinary rice into one pot.

In the morning, I ate the remaining half of smoked fish and simply fried some seasonal vegetables, and my lunch was complete.

While eating lunch, a thought occurred to me, and the proficiency panel that I could only see appeared.
