Chapter 34 Change of appearance Xiao Changqing had thought about setting up a stall at the market before. Because the Lingfu Pavilion has a clear rule that no talisman master in the pavilion is allowed to take his or her talismans to other talisman shops to sell. This is a taboo and if discovered, there will be severe punishment. Ling Fu Pavilion can turn a blind eye to privately drawing talismans to make extra money, but if they blatantly cooperate with other talisman shops, that would be aiding the enemy! In this regard, Lingfu Pavilion has strict monitoring. Especially since Xiao Changqing doesn't have 'white gloves', he can't sell it through other people's hands, so he will be found out once he investigates. After much thought, the only solution is to set up a stall at the market. This is equivalent to exploiting a loophole in the Lingfu Pavilion. Because the Lingfu Pavilion only stipulates that the works of all talisman masters cannot be circulated to other stores, but it does not say that they cannot set up stalls in the market. The influence of market stalls on shops is very limited and cannot cause any impact. Before, Xiao Changqing felt that setting up a stall at the market was too troublesome, and he had no experience. There were too many people and too many eyes, so he had not made up his mind and kept procrastinating to see if there was a better sales channel. Now it seems that I have to set up a stall at the market.
With so many talismans piled up, he wouldn’t be able to afford the pills if he didn’t buy more, and his cultivation speed would be affected! After becoming a first-level talisman master, Xiao Changqing now pays the most attention to his own cultivation. At present, his physical body is already thirty-six years old, and it seems that he is still far from the sixty-year deadline for building a foundation, with still twenty-four years to go. However, his current cultivation level is still low, he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining! In a short period of time, he should be able to break through the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he is still a long way from reaching the great perfection of the ninth level of Qi Refining. Xiao Changqing's plan is to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage within ten years, or at the latest fourteen years. Make sure to complete it before the age of fifty. In short, you must never wait until you are sixty years old to make an impact. Firstly, it leaves enough time to prevent accidents. For example, if the first impact fails, there is still a second chance and room for error. Secondly, the earlier you impact the Foundation Establishment Stage, the higher the probability will be. Even though Xiao Changqing has the great success level of longevity skills, his spiritual root aptitude has now been upgraded to the middle level, and he also has a good understanding... it will be quite difficult for him to reach the great perfection of the ninth level of Qi Refining within ten years. So Xiao Changqing hardly saved any money, and all his salary and the spirit stones he earned from picking up bargains were used to buy pills. In the path of cultivation, talent is undoubtedly the most important thing. But good talent plus krypton gold is a two-pronged approach, the best effect! Now that he has accumulated so many talismans, if he doesn't sell them, he won't be able to afford the pills. "But even if we set up a street stall, we can't sell it openly...we have to disguise it!" Xiao Changqing pondered in his mind. Although the rules of Lingfu Pavilion do not specifically stipulate that talisman masters cannot set up stalls in the market, if a talisman master does so openly, it will undoubtedly be a slap in the face of Lingfu Pavilion, and it will be impossible for Lingfu Pavilion not to cause trouble for you. "Fortunately, I was also prepared and had hidden something early on." Xiao Changqing was playing with a black cloak in his hand. This cloak is a magical tool for concealing breath. When put on, it can completely cover up the breath of the monk. Especially at night, it will blend into the surrounding night and be almost difficult to detect. Of course, this magical cloak is only effective against the Qi Refining Stage and has almost no effect on Foundation Establishment cultivators. Furthermore, the user cannot make large movements or use magical powers.
Otherwise, the moment they riot or use their magic power, they will be exposed instantly. Due to these restrictions, the value of the cloak is greatly reduced, and it is only of some use in escaping to save one's life, or in sneak attacks and assassinations. And it's not very useful. It is far less useful than a magical weapon that focuses on lethality or speed. In the end, Xiao Changqing spent forty low-grade spirit stones to get the cloak. Considering the cloak's own limitations and ordinary concealment effect, forty low-grade spirit stones are not cheap. But for Xiao Changqing, the equipment effect of the cloak [Change Your Face (Mastery)] is very worthwhile! The art of changing one's appearance, the effect of this equipment is simply the immortal version of the art of disguise! Not only can one's appearance be changed, but even the height and aura can be transformed into that of another person! With the mastery level of the art of changing appearance, no cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm can see through his true colors. If he can be upgraded to the Great Completion level and Perfection level, this spell can be used in the Foundation Establishment Realm. So when Xiao Changqing first came across this black gauze cloak, he still bought it even though it was a bit expensive. "Get your equipment ready!" Xiao Changqing did not hesitate any longer, and the next moment the black gauze cloak appeared on the equipment frame in the inventory. Before, Xiao Changqing wanted to save equipment, and since the black gauze cloak would not be used in the short term, he did not equip it. "Six equipment frames are full..." Xiao Changqing looked at a row of equipment bars. They are: the talisman master's notes, the longevity jade slips, the divination tortoise shell, the enlightenment cushion, the double-winged tiger-hair brush, and the black gauze cloak. Now he only has six equipment frames and can equip two items at a time. Other items can be taken down, but once the equipment frame is occupied, no other items can be equipped. Therefore, even if Xiao Changqing got new equipment with useful effects later, he would not be able to use it in the short term. We can only wait until his cultivation breaks through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, which is the late stage of Qi Refining, and the system should add a new equipment frame. "Now is not the time to save equipment frames, we need to make money!" Xiao Changqing was not disappointed and immediately began to use the power of his new equipment to change his appearance. "What a wonderful feeling..." Unlike the mundane disguise techniques that require all sorts of auxiliary props and makeup, Xiao Changqing only needs to use his magic power in a special way, and his face in the mirror will begin to change like dough. His originally angular and handsome face becomes rough at a speed visible to the naked eye. The outline of his eyes also changed, becoming somewhat fierce like an eagle's eyes, his nose bridge became high, and beard began to grow on his cheeks and chin. After a while, Xiao Changqing stopped until he couldn't recognize himself anymore. Then he began to change his height. He was originally meters tall, but he grew nearly 20 centimeters taller and his shoulders became much broader. A burly man appeared.
"Hey, bro! Long time no see!" Xiao Changqing shouted to himself, and even his voice became much deeper. When the final breath became completely different under the stimulation of the characteristics of magic power, Xiao Changqing rushed towards the direction of the market with more than fifty first-level talismans. …… …… Setting up a stall at Nanshanfang Market does not require high rent like setting up a shop. The stall fee is only twenty grains of spiritual sand per month, which is affordable even for the lowest-level casual cultivator. However, this naturally leads to a mixed crowd in the street markets, with all kinds of people. But overall, in addition to the many low-quality high-quality products in the market, there are also many stall owners who like to cheat customers... As long as you have a good eye, you can generally buy cheap goods. It is generally acknowledged that the price of the same item at market stalls is generally 10% to 20% lower than that in major stores. If you are lucky and the stall owner is in a hurry to sell, it is possible to buy goods at a 50% discount. Xiao Changqing used the alias Bai Wuji, paid twenty spirit sands to the stall management office, registered his name, found a vacant space, and started his stall business. Xiao Changqing was mentally prepared to accept a 10% to 20% loss in selling prices at street stalls. It’s better than having it in your hands and not being able to sell it. (End of this chapter)
