I'm A Late Bloomer And I'm Immortal.

Chapter 57 058: Turmoil Renewed! Forced buying and selling! The first seat is a thing of the past (please subscribe to the monthly ticket for the fifth chapter)

"It's actually Mr. Tiger."

When Chen Dengming got the answer, he was surprised but also felt that it was expected. There was a look of regret on his face. After thanking him, he left with fists in his hands.

As early as when he decided to come to Jinxiufang, he had already had an idea in his mind - to continue working on the Gu business.

After all, monster meat is a one-time deal.

Even if he harvested two to three hundred Low Grade Spiritual Stones, it would only be enough for him to practice for a few months. Not to mention that if he wanted to stay in Jingxiufang for these few months, he would have to pay accommodation fees, which was simply unaffordable.

The only way is to find other ways to make money.

A long time ago, he knew that there were many pirated ghosts produced by small ghost workshops in Jingxiu Fang, but the sales were not very good.

But poor sales does not mean there is no sales.

Especially after the appearance of his works as a genuine Gu refining master, sales will naturally improve.

But his idea at the beginning was to sell in a low-key manner. He would first let Jiang Qiang cooperate with the selling of small stocks in one light and one dark for a while, and then withdraw immediately after making one vote, so as to avoid trouble caused by the value of the poison.

But now, since Mr. Hu, an old friend, is also with Jinxiufang, and the other party has obviously not given up his interest in Gu things, this can be said to be a coincidence between the two parties.

As a powerful member of the business alliance, the other party can also gain a firm foothold in Jinxiufang. Cooperating with the other party in sales is much better than him showing up every day.

However, this idea needs to continue to be observed and prepared for a while.

"Everything will be done if you are hesitant, and if you are not hesitating, it will be wasted. If you are determined in advance, you will not be hesitant. If you are determined in advance, you will not be sleepy. If you are determined in advance, you will not feel guilty. Don't be anxious."

Following Xu Ning's lesson last time, Chen Dengming did not plan to go to Master Hu immediately.

At this time, the spiritual stones obtained from selling the meat of monster beasts were enough for him to practice quietly for a period of time.

…

Time passed and ten days passed quickly.

Eight days ago, Jiang Qiang sold all the huge green-backed water spiders and harvested two hundred and forty Low Grade spiritual stones.

The hyena monster meat was only Qi Refining level 2 and was not of high value. After selling half of it, the two of them kept part of it for themselves.

In the end, apart from the 10% transaction tax paid, there were still 216 Low Grade spiritual stones left.

Such a huge profit was among the best among the many stalls in Jinxiufang. It naturally attracted the attention of many monks, who knew that there was a meat seller setting up a stall in the city.

However, the bullshit that Chen Dengming had been wary of did not happen.

Jinxiufang truly proves that its rules are rules.

As long as he was in the city, no one dared to cause trouble, which made Chen Dengming fall in love with this place more and more - it was so comfortable that he spent money willingly.

So on the third day after sleeping on the street, Chen Dengming persuaded Jiang Qiang, who was in pain, to move into an inn.

No matter how reluctant you are to give up money, you still have to spend it for the sake of a better and comfortable cultivation environment.

Otherwise, he wouldn't secretly watch the little formation spirits dancing and practicing in the streets and alleys every day. The privacy and security of practicing in the open air would be much worse.

At this point, he also realized the involution of the world of cultivating immortals.

In my previous life, in order to have a place to live in a big city with abundant resources, so that I would not have to rent a house every day or stay in a hotel for a few days as a transient, I desperately wanted to buy a house in a big city.

As a result, in order to stay in Jingxiufang in this life, he actually came up with the plan to buy real estate in Jinxiufang.

Unfortunately, Jinxiufang does not sell residences to the public.

Only by joining the Independent Cultivator, which works for the Lin family, can one be qualified to purchase a residence. The price is also ridiculously high, and at worst it requires hundreds of Middle Grade spiritual stones.

In the past ten days, Chen Dengming relied on his High Grade spiritual roots to cultivate at a gratifying speed.

Even if he has two spiritual roots that are in conflict with each other and does not use formations, his cultivation speed is no less than that of ordinary Middle Grade spiritual roots, and the speed of practicing Taoism is naturally faster.

Once at a gathering place, I used the spirit seizing array to practice the twelve three-yuan Spirit Gathering skills for a whole day, but it could only increase the skill's proficiency by four points.

Now, practicing in Jinxiufang, which has a stronger aura, and with stronger spiritual roots, he can increase his proficiency by fourteen points by practicing for a whole day. Basically, he can increase his proficiency by one point by practicing one posture. The efficiency is gratifying.

However, this speed of cultivation still failed to maximize his spiritual root qualifications.

Because until now, it was no longer his spiritual roots that limited his cultivation speed, but the three-yuan Spirit Gathering Technique, a popular Taoist method.

Different Taoist methods are suitable for different people to practice.

The reason why major immortal sects such as Five Elements Escape Sect, Dragon Transformation Sect, and Tiandao Sect dominate the Immortal Cultivation World, and there are endlessly powerful and outstanding disciples within the sects, is because the fundamental Taoist methods within the sects are powerful.

The stronger the Tao method, the faster it absorbs spiritual energy during practice, the wider the range, and the spiritual roots with different attributes, which naturally makes people practice faster.

However, many powerful Taoist methods also have restrictions on spiritual root qualifications, cultivation level and even physical constitution. People with low spiritual root qualifications are not qualified to practice at all.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the old Taoist from Shizong gave Chen Dengming a copy of the popular Kung Fu. His original qualifications were indeed not good enough.

But now, his spiritual root qualifications are no longer the same, but he can pursue the powerful Taoist method that flies deeper and deeper into the cliff.

"It's good to have strong spiritual root qualifications. Now I have stronger control and perception of metal spiritual energy. Originally, I had to practice the Golden Touch for a while to shorten the casting time to one breath, but now I can do it directly."

At the edge of the mountain forest not far from Jinxiufang, Chen Dengming casually used the Midas Touch.

A ball of golden spiritual energy shimmered at the fingertips and flew out, condensing half of the body of the bared hyena beast opposite him into metal.

He carefully felt the spiritual energy that was not much consumed in his body, nodded with satisfaction, and observed the progress of the two Taoist techniques at this time.

""Three Yuan Spirit Gathering Skill" (Fourth Floor 228/400)"

""The Midas Touch" (Beginner 78/100)"

Continue to practice at the current pace.

In at most half a month, he will break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining.

At that time, you can learn more powerful Taoist methods, continue to extend your life, and make up for the current shortfall in longevity.

"Woof! - woof -"

The hyena monster, which had always been very brave, had half of its body turned into gold. It finally became frightened and struggled and rolled on the ground begging for mercy.

Chen Dengming instantly cast a golden spear technique to kill the beast, which was only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Several hyena monsters in the distance that were originally baring their teeth and preparing to surround them saw this, and they all barked to avoid it. They looked at Chen Dengming from a distance and did not dare to approach rashly. Even their green eyes were staring at their companions. corpse.

Chen Dengming suddenly pulled out the Ice Spirit Sword, and as soon as he made the seal, the spiritual power spread, and his clothes were hunting.

The flying knife flashes with lightning, and the sword energy is like wind, cloud, ice and snow.

It went away in an instant and kept flashing. The ferocious sword energy crisscrossed like silk threads, and the sword intent was as strong as its substance. In an instant, it killed several hyena beasts at the first and second levels of Qi Refining, screaming in agony and urinating.

After a few breaths, there were several more corpses of hyena monsters on the ground.

Chen Dengming made a move with his hand, and the Ice Spirit Blade buzzed and flew back without even a drop of blood.

Monsters are monsters. People-eating monsters, especially dog ​​monsters, know how to bully the weak and fear the strong. Even if they temporarily turn into Erha and wag their tails to beg for mercy, they will not show mercy, otherwise they may turn into Zhongshan wolves again in the next moment.

In recent days, he often leaves Jinxiufang at safer times during the day to familiarize himself with the conditions in the nearby wild areas. At the same time, he practices Taoism, looks for points of convergence between Taoism and Martial Dao, and trains for actual combat.

Ever since he achieved great mastery in the art of swordsmanship, and the combination of sword control and weapon control techniques can reduce the spiritual energy loss by half after the Qingqiu Mad Dragon is used, he has a vague feeling that Martial Dao may not be incapable of Spirit Ascension.

Perhaps if he continues to study, Martial Dao may also be able to leverage the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. By then, his Chen's Martial Dao master plan may break through to another level again.

However, this kind of research is difficult to accomplish overnight. The only way to get a feel for it is through actual combat.

He didn't dare to go too far away from Jinxiu Square for fear of being targeted by powerful demon birds.

But it was only within a few dozen miles of Jinxiufang, so I still had the guts to try it out.

This is not a risk, but a precautionary measure.

Recently, the Luo family and the Zhu family have started to fight again. The specific reason is still unknown. It has gradually affected the prices of goods in Jinxiufang, and some monks have even fled from there to here.

Chen Dengming once again felt that the situation was turbulent. The seemingly stable Jinxiufang may not be able to survive alone.

If one day he can no longer stay in Jinxiufang, he will have to enter the wild again to survive. It is also necessary to adapt to the surrounding terrain and the number of monster species in advance.

In addition, hunting down some hyena monsters that are prevalent in the nearby mountains can also subsidize daily food and clothing, and train Taoism. It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

At this time, there was a slight movement in the mountains not far away.

Several monks appeared fearfully from behind the bushes and trees one after another. When they looked at Chen Dengming and the corpses of monsters lying on the ground, they were all filled with fear and awe.

Judging from the appearance of the three destitute monks who appeared, it was obvious that they were all grey-headed and extremely embarrassed fugitive monks who had just escaped from a group of hyena monsters.

At this time, seeing that all the monsters were slaughtered by Chen Dengming, this group of people dared to come forward, looked at Chen Dengming in awe, and expressed their gratitude with clasped fists from a distance, without any malice.

Chen Dengming lowered his bamboo hat and said loudly, "Are you all from the gathering place? Do you know what happened over there? Why are the Luo family and the Zhu family fighting again?"

Several monks looked at each other, and one of them walked out of the fist-holding way, "Brother Taoist, we did escape from the gathering place. It's too chaotic over there now. I heard that it's the genius Luo Fairy from the Luo family. Building failed. Although it was only the first failure and there would be opportunities in the future, it also gave the Zhu family a chance.

The Zhu family captured the Luo family’s secret copper mining area two days ago, and now it seems that there is chaos again.”

"Luo Bing failed to break through."

Chen Dengming frowned, surprised.

Luo Bing has High Grade spiritual root qualifications. Logically speaking, a Foundation Building Pill is at least 80% sure of a successful breakthrough, but now I don’t know if it’s bad luck, or other factors affecting it, or maybe it’s a sect competition. Injuried?

Chen Dengming continued to inquire about the fighting process between the two sides, feeling troubled.

The recurrence of war, even at the level of the Immortal Cultivation Clan, would be a disaster for Independent Cultivators like them who live nearby.

At least the price rise is real.

He waved and called the people over there, pointing at the corpse of the monster on the ground.

"I will only take one of these monster beast corpses back. I will sell the others to you at a price that is cheaper than the market price. Do you want it?"

Several people looked at each other in confusion, their eyes widening as they looked at the hyena carcass on the ground that was still steaming with cold air.

Is this forced buying and selling? Or just a simple question?

You might want to refuse, but you wouldn’t dare to say anything in this wild place.

And the other party just saved them.

But buying this monster meat, they can't eat so much, and they have to spend a lot of spiritual stones.

One of them accidentally saw half of Chen Dengming's face under the bamboo hat, his eyes were fixed, and he almost screamed, and immediately laughed dryly.

"Buy, we are definitely willing to buy it. We usually want to buy monster meat, but it's not easy to buy it. Let's buy one each."

The other two monks were a little dumbfounded when they saw this, but seeing that the usually vicious boss was so humble, they didn't know what was going on, so they expressed their willingness to buy with generous smiles.

Chen Dengming took a deep look at the man who spoke, and smiled lightly, "I can tell at a glance who is a smart person and who is a fool in the crowd. Now that I have arrived at Jinxiufang, I am cutting off the past at the gathering place. Buy mine Meat, don’t chew it with your tongue.”

"Then how dare you?"

"We here at Jingxiufang will start from scratch and keep a low profile. Please take care of us, Brother Dao."

"The spirit meat shop in Jingxiufang sells this kind of low-grade monster meat for fifty kilograms of spirit stone. I'll make it cheaper for you guys. The price is four low-grade spirit stones per head."

"No, no, no, one price, five Low Grade Spiritual Stones per head. We brothers must never let our savior suffer a loss."

Chen Dengming was speechless. He had never encountered such a bargain before.

But with so many spirit stones, he was happy with it.

After collecting the spirit stone, he picked up the body of a hyena monster with his knife and quickly moved away from the dust.

Several monks were looking at the meat of several hyena beasts and were about to cry. After the spiritual stone was released, they had to carry it to Jinxiufang and sell part of it. How could they finish it all?

"Boss, you just"

"Shut up! Didn't you recognize this person when you went out without any tricks? That's Mr. Chen!"

"Ah! It's Mr. Chen?"

"The chief obviously recognized us and just deliberately tested us. If we are obedient and sensible, it's okay to buy meat. If we are not sensible, do you think we are in the wild?"

"Hiss! - I didn't expect it to be Chief Chen. But Chief Chen is too outsider. A few of us defected from Jinzifang, and we will no longer work for Xu Ning."

"Do you think the leader is stupid? He must have seen that we defected earlier, otherwise the two sides are at war at this time. Why do we appear here in such a panic?"

"The first seat is worthy of being the first seat. You can get away with it wherever you go. You said we were new to your place, didn't you..."

"Don't think so much. Don't call him the first person when you meet him in the future. It's obvious that he doesn't want to get involved in the past grudges. Let's all be honest."

…

"Brother Chen Dao, did you hit another monster? It's awesome!"

"It's just a puppy with the second level of Qi Refining. Fellow Daoist Liu, just call me Xiao Chen. What do you call me, Brother Daoist? I'm born!"

"How dare you!"

…

Chen Dengming returned to the spiritual vegetable market near the inn carrying the hyena meat.

Throw the hyena to a Qi Refining second-level monk who works part-time as a butcher.

Some of the scraps, such as unpalatable offal dog eggs, will be given to the other party as payment.

He returned to the hotel room he was renting and took off the array plate from his waist.

Xiao Zhenling was so suffocated that he couldn't wait to fly out, humming and dancing in the house. He was in a happy mood, and Chen Dengming often feasted his eyes on it.

Chen Dengming had just washed his hands when there was a knock on the door, and the little Zhenling quickly shrank away.

Jiang Qiang walked in from outside carrying the treated hyena and said with a somewhat bitter face.

"Brother Chen, Tugou just told me that the price of spiritual rice in the Lingmi store has increased again. I heard that there is a complete fight at the gathering place this time. Now many monks who have fled are rushing over. Not only is the spiritual rice rising, but also the price of spiritual rice has increased. Law Weapon and Talisman are also rising.

I think the price of hotel rooms might increase. To put it in your hometown dialect, isn't it called involution? "

Chen Dengming was surprised, "A complete fight?"

"Yes. The news may come through in a few days." Jiang Qiang shook his head.

Chen Dengming frowned and felt troubled. He walked around the room and said, "Qiangzi, it seems that we have something to do soon."

Jiang Qiang perked up, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Every time Chen Dengming mentions something, he knows there is a way to make money. Unfortunately, hunting monsters is not suitable for him. Recently, he only makes money by making some formation plates and selling them, which is not easy to sell. He can find birds in his spare time.

By following Chen Dengming, he can earn a lot of spiritual stones.

The last time he sold monster spirit stones, Chen Dengming directly gave him fifty Low Grade spirit stones. In his opinion, this was indeed very generous. After all, Chen Dengming basically killed the green-backed water spider by himself. At most, I just helped for a while.

"I will give you a batch of Gu items first, and you can sell them in the city. Remember, be careful."

…

"It's really troublesome!"

After giving a batch of Gu creatures to drive away Jiang Qiang, Chen Dengming felt a little confused.

Rising prices will also increase his cost of living, resulting in fewer spiritual stones available for cultivation.

Although hunting monsters these days, apart from practicing Taoism and actual combat, has also subsidized some living costs, it is basically a drop in the bucket.

The Dark Shop will open in two days. If you want to buy your favorite defensive Law Weapon from the Dark Shop, you will also need to spend more spirit stones.

"It seems it's time to find that tiger."

A while ago, while Chen Dengming was practicing, he often wandered around the city to familiarize himself with various prices and environments. At the same time, he also secretly observed the sales of Gu items in the Merchant Alliance.

On the way, he saw the familiar figure of Mr. Hu walking by with a pipe in his mouth several times from a distance.

By now, he was basically certain that Mr. Hu would not have many pirated Gu items in his hands.

Recently, the number of stalls selling voodoo products in the city has decreased significantly, and Master Hu seems to be preparing to shift the focus of his business.

This proves that the other party may no longer have contact with Xu Ning.

Otherwise, Xu Ning still has the second batch of goods from the Gu Refining Field. If the other party is interested, they should be interested in that batch of goods.

But now, with wars raging over the gathering place, there is probably even less contact between the two parties.

However, everything is not absolute. The reason why Chen Dengming still decided to cooperate with Hu Ye is that he is about to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Hu Ye is the only suitable target in Jinxiufang.

Even if the cooperation with the other party fails, he is sure to escape intact...
