NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27 Market trends, planning and foundation building
Wei Zhong resisted the impulse in his heart. His life was not in vain, but he could not waste seven and a half years of his life in a place like this because of a little curiosity.
'Well, when you reach the later stage of Qi refining, you may be able to experience the feeling of foundation building once every fifteen years to provide experience for future foundation building. ’
"well!"
At this moment, Wei Zhong really wanted to take a few plants of 'Chalcedony Mushroom' and go out for a spin. He didn't know if he would encounter a Jie Cultivator who didn't have a long-sighted mind. When the time came, he would directly use the Taoism of Time, and I'm afraid he would be able to scare the opponent.
"No, no, there are still mines in my cave, and there is no shortage of Jie Xiu's three melons and two dates."
Speaking of which, ten years have passed, and I wonder how the Qingmu Sect has developed the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.
And I don’t know if the second true biography was fed to the monster.
Wei Zhong considered himself not a person who held grudges, but Lu Yibin, who had dug his own spiritual mine and had hunted him down, was not one of them.
It's time to go out and see the situation and talk to Lao Ning.
In the past ten years, Wei Zhong has devoted himself to cultivation. Even the harvesting and selling of the spiritual rice in the spiritual field was left to the casual cultivators who took over the task here.
With Ning Cankun's relationship, Wei Zhong was confident that no one would dare to steal his spiritual stone.
After tidying up, Wei Zhong took two pots of spiritual wine and went out.
"Hey, brother Chu is a rare visitor."
Ning Cankun was surprised when he saw Wei Zhong coming to the door. This was the first time that Wei Zhong took the initiative to visit in the past ten years, so it was no wonder that he did what he did.
After taking the spirit wine from Wei Zhong's hand and taking out the side dishes, the two began to chat.
"Brother, I have devoted myself to cultivation these years, but I have gained a lot, right?"
Wei Zhong grabbed a spiritual bean and stuffed it into his mouth:
"Not much, just enough to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. There is still some distance from the eighth level of Qi Refining, but it's not far away."
Although Wei Zhong had already fallen to the sixth level of Qi Refining due to the transfer of cultivation techniques, Wei Zhong used the Taoism of Time to borrow a piece of skin from the past. It looked like it was at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but it turned out to be a mirror, without the power of the later stages of Qi Refining. able.
"I didn't expect that it only took me more than ten years to break through this level. It's much faster than ordinary monks. If I can maintain this progress, I can expect to build a foundation in my lifetime."
"The later stage of Qi refining is so difficult!"
As if being hurt by Wei Zhong's words, Ning Cankun seemed to think of something, and held the wine glass in silence.
Wei Zhong only reacted after clinking glasses with him:
"My little brother walked along this way and found that Mingyuefang City was quite deserted. I don't know why."
Ning Cankun put away his emotions and said:
"I don't know, little brother, but thanks to the sect's development of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains in the past ten years, we, the human monks, have established a firm foothold in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains in Mangyuan Prefecture.
Hunting monsters and finding medicine is much safer than before, and the rich resources in it have attracted many monks to go there.
Today, Mingyuefang City is getting worse day by day.
Maybe there will never be a need for me as an outer deacon. "
"Brother Ning is joking. After all, there are only a few monks who dare to take risks. There are still many people who are willing to plant some spiritual fields and practice in peace. Only with Brother Ning sitting in the battle, the spiritual fields of Qingmu Sect will be stable."
What Wei Zhong said was not nonsense, at least in his own opinion.
In previous years, when I was farming in the Yan family, I often had disputes with other spiritual farmers over the spiritual fields.
During this time in Qingmu Sect, Ning Cankun, as the outer sect deacon, handled such matters extremely well.
"It's just relying on the power of the sect. Speaking of which, prices in the world of immortality have been reduced recently because of the incident in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
Especially for elixirs, the price of ordinary elixirs has been reduced by 10% to 20%. Even the Foundation Establishment Pill, which was rarely seen in the past, will occasionally be seen in auctions. "
"Oh?" Wei Zhong became interested, "I wonder what the price is?"
Ning Cankun drank a glass of wine and said:
"About five thousand spirit stones. The highest auction was 7,000 spirit stones, which were auctioned off by the Li family, a nearby foundation-building family."
"This Foundation Establishment Pill is not much cheaper. The Li family pays such a premium. Could it be that there was an accident at home?"
Wei Zhong asked, stroking the cup.
"I heard that the ancestor of the Li family is nearing the end of his life."
"No wonder, if the Li family can't have another foundation builder, it might be difficult."
"Who says it's not the case? Without the foundation-building monk who is the backbone of the family, this family will become a big piece of meat. I don't know how many people are eyeing it."
Ning Cankun took a bite of the spirit beast meat, obviously not surprised by this kind of thing. As an outer deacon of the Aoki Sect, I have seen the demise and rebirth of countless foundation-building families.
"Speaking of which, brother, do you plan to be a spiritual farmer forever?"
Wei Zhong's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly:
"That's probably the case. Work hard to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then see if you have a chance to build a foundation. If not, then go home and leave a legacy for the family."
Looking at the wine glass handed over by Ning Cankun, the two clinked their glasses and drank.
"In my opinion, Brother Chu, instead of continuing to farm, it is better to find a job in the Qingmu Sect. Doesn't that true disciple owe you a favor? Just use it."
Wei Zhong just held the cup and said nothing.
Ning Cankun sighed, knowing that the young man in front of him had not given up the idea of building a foundation.
"Good luck to Taoists!"
······
After Ning Cankunna left, Wei Zhong started wandering around the city.
After all, what he said just now was only one side of the story, and Wei Zhong still needed to confirm it himself.
After asking around, it turns out that most of the elixirs in Fang City are much cheaper than before.
For example, the price of a bottle of high-grade Qi-nourishing pills that Wei Zhong often used for cultivation dropped from two hundred low-grade spiritual stones to one hundred and sixty low-grade spiritual stones.
Buy more and get discounts.
Such a cut in half made Wei Zhong regret it. If he had known better, he would not have bought a lot so early.
Although the lost spiritual stone is only a drop in the bucket compared to the spiritual mine in his cave, a spiritual stone is still a spiritual stone.
When did Wei Zhong, who was frugal in his previous life, suffer such injustice?
"Hey, the shopkeeper brought me three bottles of high-quality Qi-nourishing pills."
Based on his past life experience, Wei Zhong knew that he had to increase his position at this time.
Then he changed his identity and went to several other stores to buy a few more bottles.
In this way, you will have almost all you need for your next practice.
"Shopkeeper, do you have the 300-year-old 'Chalcedony Zhizhi' here?"
Feeling the ninth level of Qi refining cultivation of the mysterious monk in front of him, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect him.
He quickly replied:
"'Chalcedony Mushroom'? This little shop in Lao Dao doesn't have it in stock. If fellow Taoists are not in a hurry, there will be a batch of goods shipped from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains in March. You can come and take a look."
Wei Zhong thought to himself, times have indeed changed, and even the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, 'Chalcedony Zhizhi', is no longer rare.
"I wonder what the price is?"
"The market price is two thousand spiritual stones. If you sincerely want it, you can pay a deposit first and make up the balance when the time comes. Then the 'Chalcedony Mushroom' will be yours. In this market, there are many Taoists like this There are many people who are eyeing 'Chalcedony Zhi'."
At this moment, Wei Zhong didn't even realize how expensive this 'Chalcedony Zhizhi' was.
When I look back, I think that I am no longer a small cultivator who relies on spiritual fields for a living. Instead, I have a mine at home and am extremely rich.
Naturally, my mentality has changed unconsciously.
‘No, it has to be changed. How could a spiritual farmer behave like this? ’
Wei Zhong suddenly became nervous:
"Can it be cheaper?"
The shopkeeper's expression remained unchanged:
"Fellow Taoist, this is already a conscience price."
Wei Zhong grabbed his beard in embarrassment:
"Rong Pindao will think about it again."
Then he left the store under the watchful eye of the shopkeeper.
A faint sentence of "poor ghost" came from behind, and Wei Zhong, whose spiritual sense was beyond ordinary people, heard it.
With Wei Zhong's self-cultivation, he didn't take the little shopkeeper's words seriously.
After some inquiring, at least I understood that it was not unusual for me to take out the 'Chalcedony Mushroom' at this moment.
‘Well, when you have reached the point where you have perfected your Qi refining, you will take out the ‘Chalcedony Zhi’ and find someone to make elixirs. ’
