"Uncle, you're back?"
"Sniff... Hmm, although there's no scent of powder, but uncle, you only went to pay your respects, and when you came back, you changed your clothes. You must have gone to do something bad again, right?"
Seeing Chen Changsheng return, Xiao Moxi couldn't help but speak.
"Ahem...what nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to pay my respects, not to a wedding banquet. Why would I go to a place like that?"
"Stop talking about this, look what I brought for you."
As Chen Changsheng spoke, two porcelain bottles appeared in his hands...
"Pills? Uncle, did you really get the pills?" Little Moxi said in shock.
"Rhubarb Pill, one of the most useful pills for the middle stage of Qi training!"
Chen Changsheng smiled and handed two bottles of rhubarb pills to Xiao Moxi.
"It's really rhubarb pill, uncle, you are so amazing!" Little Moxi said excitedly.
With the elixir, her cultivation speed will be faster and she will be able to avenge her parents sooner!
"It's okay. I exchanged it with Song Xing using a talisman. Little Moxi, you must draw more talismans when you have nothing to do in the future!" Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will!" Little Moxi nodded vigorously.
The leisurely days passed slowly...
Relying on his superb disguise and breath-concealing skills, Chen Changsheng took on different identities and sold talismans in the market, gathering more and more spirit stones on his body.
One day half a year later.
Chen Changsheng walked out of the secret room, feeling refreshed.
"My physical training realm is finally the same as my Qi training realm. I'm cultivating both my body and my mind. With my current strength, I should be invincible after reaching the seventh level of Qi training. Unfortunately, apart from killing Zhou Cong and others a few years ago, I've never had any actual combat..."
It’s best not to engage in actual combat, because without actual combat there is no real danger!
"Well, I've been in seclusion for over ten days, but I haven't been to the Treasure Pavilion for over a month. It's just the right time to go there and process a batch of talismans... This kind of cultivation really consumes too many spirit stones..."
There is no other way. Without spiritual veins, the speed of cultivation is too slow. I can only spend spirit stones to use a small spirit gathering formation.
It's a pity that I'm not a member of the Song family. Otherwise, if I could go to the top of Shouyang Mountain to practice, my efficiency would definitely increase a lot...
Immortal cultivators need spiritual energy. Sitting in meditation, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is too slow, so they have to look for places with rich spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy is emitted from the spiritual veins, which is the best place for spiritual practice. It can also be cultivated into spiritual fields, planted with spiritual medicines, etc. It can be said to be the foundation of immortal practitioners!
Practitioners are divided into different realms, and spiritual veins are of course divided into different levels. The lowest level is the inferior level, followed by the first level, the second level, the third level...
All the spiritual veins in the world that have been discovered are almost all occupied by practitioners. Even those that are not of the highest quality are extremely precious and will be occupied by some small immortal cultivation families!
There is a second-grade medium-quality spiritual vein on Shouyang Mountain. The Song family used it to establish a market to attract independent cultivators to come and trade.
The best place in the spiritual vein is of course the part on the top of the mountain, which is all occupied by the Song family themselves. The place where they have opened up the market is almost of a decent standard, which naturally attracts a large number of independent cultivators to settle down.
After all, for a casual cultivator, having a place to absorb spiritual energy is already very good, so why would he be picky?
"Uncle, you look full of energy. It's only been half a year. Have you made another breakthrough?" Little Moxi asked in surprise.
"You have a good eye. You have made a slight breakthrough in body refining. Little Moxi, are you sure you don't want to practice both magic and body? It's very powerful!" Chen Changsheng said, waving his fist.
"No, body refining is too difficult. I don't have the talent for it. Besides, most cultivators practice Qi training, and body refining is just a minor skill!" Xiao Moxi shook his head.
Physical training requires talent and even more so, time.
Practicing Qi and making talismans already occupied most of her time, so she had no time to cultivate her body.
"That's such a pity... Oh, by the way, I've been in seclusion for these days. Take the talismans you've made these days and let's go to the Treasure Pavilion. By the way, it's time to get you and me a magic weapon..." Chen Changsheng said.
How can monks fight without magic weapons?
The only magical weapon in Chen Changsheng's hand was the one he had killed Zhou Cong with. It was already rotten and almost unusable...
"Magic weapon? Uncle, are you finally going to buy me a magic weapon?" Little Moxi asked in surprise.
"Well, haven't I had many transactions with Song Xing in the past six months? From what he said, I vaguely felt that the world seemed to be a little unstable..." Chen Changsheng said.
"Is the world not peaceful?" Little Moxi asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the Song family's suppression of bandits is not going smoothly. It seems that there is a force that is specifically against the Song family..."
"Also, the situation at Baibao Pavilion is very strange. We have been selling talismans to them over the past few years, but we have never seen them selling any of them... So where did all these talismans go?" Chen Changsheng said slowly.
"He is hoarding talismans? Baibao Pavilion is a merchant, why would he do this?" Xiao Moxi frowned.
"So, it's unusual... Perhaps, this market won't be peaceful in the future, so we must increase our ability to protect ourselves!" Chen Changsheng said.
First, he disguised himself and brought little Moxi all the way to the Treasure Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw Shopkeeper Wan chatting with two people wearing bamboo hats. After seeing Chen Changsheng and little Moxi arrive, their conversation stopped instantly...
"Brother Pan, you are finally here. Counting the days, you haven't been here for more than a month!" Shopkeeper Wan said happily when he saw Chen Changsheng.
"I secluded myself for a while in search of a breakthrough, but the result..." Chen Changsheng said with a hint of embarrassment.
"You can't rush into cultivation, especially after the fourth level of Qi training. Every breakthrough is difficult. I've experienced this deeply!"
"However, Brother Pan is still young and has a long way to go!" Manager Wan said with a smile.
"Boss, we brothers will take our leave for now!"
At this moment, the two men in the bamboo hats bowed to Manager Wan.
"Okay, go ahead!" Manager Wan waved his hand.
The two passed by Chen Changsheng, who glanced at them casually, his brows furrowed slightly...
"Brother Pan, how many talismans have you brought me this time?" Manager Wan asked with a smile.
"Two hundred first-grade low-quality talismans and thirty first-grade mid-quality talismans!" said Chen Changsheng.
"So many? Fellow Daoist's speed in making talismans is truly amazing!" Shopkeeper Wan said with his eyes wide open.
Doesn't he need to practice?
However, the more talismans the better...
"These talismans were not only drawn by me, but my disciple also helped a lot!"
"Manager Wan, I don't plan to use spirit stones for the talisman this time!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Not taking the spirit stones? What's the matter, fellow Daoist?" Manager Wan asked in confusion.
"My little disciple's cultivation is becoming more and more advanced. I want to choose some magical weapons for her!" Chen Changsheng said.
"Magic weapon? Haha, okay, of course there is no problem with that!" Shopkeeper Wan said with a smile.
Who doesn't like a business that makes money on both ends...
