Rise of Qinglian

At noon, Wang Changsheng appeared in the depths of the Green Bamboo Mountain Range, and slowly landed outside a green bamboo forest.

The Wang family and two other cultivating families opened a market, which is about the same size as Qingzhufang City, but the family's Fang City is far away from Ping'an County. Moreover, his current duty is to guard Ping'an County. There is no special reason. If you rashly run back to the family market, you will be punished.

Passing through the bamboo forest is a narrow valley with overgrown weeds and a steep stone wall at the end.

Wang Changsheng came in front of the stone wall, his body surface lit up with a blue light, he walked towards the stone wall, and his whole body got into the stone wall.

After a blur before his eyes, he suddenly appeared on a neat bluestone street.

A few zhang ahead stood a white stone archway with four golden characters "Qingzhufang City" engraved on it, and behind the archway there was a long bluestone street.

There are buildings of different sizes on both sides of the street, there are attics five or six feet high, and there are simple stone houses.

There are people coming and going on the street. These people are all immortals. They walk into the shops on both sides of the street from time to time, which is very lively.

It wasn't the first time Wang Changsheng came to Qingzhufang City, so he didn't stay too long and walked along the street.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared in a bluestone-paved square, which was very spacious with dozens of stalls.

There are many products on the booth, including refining materials, alchemy materials, talisman seals, and spiritual weapons, but they are all ordinary goods.

"The best golden marrow spiritual rice, come and have a look! Three pieces of spiritual stones weigh one catty."

"The golden moon sword, a medium-grade spirit tool, only needs 80 spirit stones. It is very powerful. Come and have a look."

"A bottle of Qi Refining Pill, made by an experienced alchemist, don't miss it when you pass by."

As soon as they approached the square, there was constant shouting.

Most of the stalls in the square are casual repairmen, they cannot afford to rent a storefront in the square market, and there is no charge for setting up stalls in the square, so casual repairers can set up stalls in the square.

There are four counties in Ningzhou, and each county has a small square market. In order to attract casual practitioners to stay, each square city will set aside an open space for free stalls for casual practitioners.

Of course, there are strict restrictions on the booths. The length of the booth cannot exceed one foot, and the width cannot exceed two feet. If the limit exceeds this limit, a fee will be charged. This is to protect the interests of the cultivators who rent the shop.

The life of casual cultivators is not easy. The shops of the Xiuxian family will not solicit help from outsiders. Only a few retail investors or large shops will recruit people from outside.

Most of the casual cultivators don't have any special skills, and they either resell supplies, or act as guides in large markets, or work for others. As long as they can earn spirit stones, no matter how hard or dirty the work, there are casual cultivators rushing to do it.

Most casual cultivators make a living by hunting monsters and picking elixir. This profession is very dangerous. I don’t know how many casual cultivators die at the mouth of monsters every year. Even so, there are still a large number of casual cultivators who become monster hunters every year, specializing Monsters pick elixir, and only a small number of casual cultivators go on evil paths, killing people and seizing treasures, becoming evil cultivators that everyone shouts and beats.

The life of evil cultivators is even more difficult. Most of the casual cultivators are poor and poor. They can’t earn many spirit stones by robbing and killing casual cultivators, and they might lose money. Opportunity to attack, once the matter is revealed, he will be wanted and will be punished soon.

Therefore, only a few monks who can't think about it will kill people and seize treasures, and evil cultivators often don't live long.

Liu Qing'er repeatedly told him to stay on Lianhua Island honestly and not to run around, so as not to be targeted by evil cultivators.

Wang Changsheng didn't take his mother's advice to heart. He felt that his mother was worrying unnecessarily. There are so many evil cultivators in the world. If they were not forced to, who would run to do evil cultivators?

He found an open space, took out a piece of coarse cloth, and placed the spirit egg on it. Next to the spirit egg, he placed a sign with a line written on it: Spiritual eggs laid by Xueyun chickens can be exchanged for water-type spirits of equal value.

Spiritual eggs contain rich aura and are suitable for all monks to take. However, Wang Changsheng is practicing water-attribute exercises. In comparison, he needs water-attribute spiritual things more.

A spiritual egg can hatch into a Xueyun chicken. A low-grade Xueyun chicken of the first level is worth much more than a spiritual egg, but a spiritual egg needs to absorb enough spiritual energy to hatch. It takes more than a month to hatch.

Although the spiritual vein he found is small, it is more than enough to hatch the spiritual eggs, but he cannot stay there all the time. If he is there, and the spiritual eggs are found and eaten by some drug-hunting rat, then he will lose big. After thinking about it again and again, he still planned to go to Qingzhufang City and replace the spirit egg with a water attribute spirit.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's booth.

"Fellow Daoist, I don't have any water-type spiritual objects. How about buying them with spirit stones? How about ten spirit stones!"

The eyes of the middle-aged man revealed a bit of shrewdness.

Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes at the middle-aged man, and said bluntly: "Do you think I am a rookie who has just stepped into the fairyland? If you want to take advantage, go to another place."

Some experienced casual cultivators specialize in picking up leaks in the squares where casual cultivators set up stalls, and only rookies who don’t understand the market will be deceived. Wang Changsheng has received comprehensive knowledge of cultivating immortals, and he is not a rookie who has just stepped into the world of cultivating immortals. So easy to cheat.

The middle-aged man was not annoyed, he smiled coyly, and said, "It seems that fellow Taoist is also an expert, so I will offer nineteen pieces of spirit stones to buy this spirit egg, how about it?"

The spiritual egg hatches into a snow cloud chicken, and if you sell it, you can earn a fortune of spiritual stones. Although it takes a long time, the most important thing for casual cultivators is time.

"I won't sell it. I'll only exchange it for a water-attribute spirit of the same value." Wang Changsheng shook his head and refused.

"In this way, twenty-one spirit stones, no more."

Wang Changsheng shook his head, his attitude was very firm.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man turned around and left without any reluctance.

For the next half a day, people stopped in front of Wang Changsheng's booth one after another, all wanting to trade with Wang Changsheng.

Some of them were willing to buy spirit stones, some were willing to exchange talismans, and some were willing to exchange spirit weapons, but they were all rejected by Wang Changsheng.

As the sky darkened, various shops took out their lighting tools one after another to brighten up the city.

The stall owners also took out the moonstones for lighting to illuminate the stalls brightly.

Wang Changsheng thought about it for a while, put away the spirit eggs, and wandered around the square to see if he could come across any good things.

There were a lot of things on the booth, and Wang Changsheng saw a few things he wanted, but he was too short-pocketed to buy them.

"Hey, what is this?"

Wang Changsheng let out a sigh, and stopped at a small stall.

The stall owner was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a green skirt, with a graceful figure, snow-like skin, and long black hair reaching to her waist.

On the booth were several materials for monsters, two bluestone wine jugs and two spiritual artifacts. The two spiritual artifacts were a string of blue beads and a blue knife about a foot long.

Spiritual weapons are common weapons used by monks in the Qi refining period, and their prices range from tens to hundreds.

Wang Changsheng practiced "The Secret Jue" and was more sensitive to water aura. He could clearly feel that the water aura in the booth of the girl in the green skirt was richer than other booths, and the water aura near the blue bead string was more intense.

He knelt down, picked up the blue beads, and looked through them carefully.

He can be sure that the blue beads have the effect of gathering water aura, although the gathered water aura is not very much, if he wears it on his body to practice, it will speed up his cultivation speed.

"What's the name of this spiritual weapon? Does it have any effect? ​​How many spirit stones?" Wang Changsheng asked straight to the point.

"This medium-grade spirit artifact, the water-gathering bead, is an auxiliary spirit artifact, which has the effect of gathering water aura. It is refined from the clam beads of the first-order middle-grade spirit beast, the Bihe clam. Although the effect is not as good as that of the first-order gathering Water array, but if a fellow Taoist who practices water attribute exercises wears it on his body, the speed of practice will be accelerated, and all the things on the booth will only be exchanged for things of the same value, and will not be sold." The woman in the green skirt said slowly, pointing to the booth on a wooden sign.

It was only then that Wang Changsheng noticed that there was a wooden sign in the corner of the booth, with the words "Only for exchange, not for sale" written on it.

Wang Changsheng pondered for a moment, then took out the spirit egg and a piece of green talisman from the storage bag.

"This is the spiritual egg laid by the first-level spirit bird Xueyun chicken, and this first-level high-grade flying talisman, how about this water-gathering bead of yours?"

The woman in the green skirt was a little moved, and she looked thoughtful. After a while, she said, "Add five more spirit stones, and I will exchange them with you."

Wang Changsheng frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Your water-gathering beads are obviously used by others. A spirit egg and a flying talisman are more than enough for your water-gathering beads. If the fairy doesn't If you are willing to exchange it."

"One more spirit stone, just one." The woman in the green skirt raised a finger.

Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed, this water-gathering beads can speed up his cultivation speed, he really couldn't refuse.
