Chapter 14: A small deal

There is a market in the county that specializes in serving warriors, which sells various cultivation resources, and more than half of the experts in the county are concentrated here.

There are many teams that make a living by hunting monsters. They hunt monsters every day, and the materials they obtain are exchanged for a large amount of spirit stones in the market, and then use spirit stones to exchange for cultivation resources and various magic weapons.

At the same time, this is also the main source of tax revenue in the county town.

When trading here, because the government is insured, ordinary people and forces really dare not cause trouble here.

Yang Shiyun entered the market. After Yang Shiyun digested the memory of his predecessor, he was quite familiar with such markets, because before his predecessor was discovered, he had been living in such markets for more than ten years.

Yang Shiyun ran to a special shop familiarly, cleared the monster materials in the storage bag, exchanged them for more than a dozen spirit stones, then took out one spirit stone and bought a temporary shop in the square market.

To put it bluntly, it is the location of a street stall. After paying a spirit stone, you can place it for a day. That spirit stone is equivalent to management fees, taxes and stalls. For casual cultivators, they can barely accept such a price.

In the entire market, many casual cultivators set up street stalls here because of the government's management, which seemed orderly.

Yang Shiyun took a white cloth and a small stool, came to the bunk with the number, put the white cloth into a bunk, took out more than a dozen jade bottles from the storage bag, placed them on the white cloth, and then sat down.

Immediately afterwards, I took out a piece of cardboard and wrote it on it with a pen: "Selling the body-healing pill, the blood and energy pill, and purchasing the first to third-level spiritual herbs."

Because a new secret realm is opened near the county town and free entry, and such healing pills are very intimate, it has not been long since Yang Shiyun asked for the price.

Ten third-level spiritual herbs sell ten spirit stones, and ten spirit stones can just buy one Blood Qi Pill! The cost of a furnace of blood Qi Pill, including the failure rate, requires fifteen spirit stones, and one furnace produces at least five elixirs. From this we can see the huge profits in the alchemy industry.

Moreover, the higher the level of the pill, the more profit it will be.

After a morning of trading, Yang Shiyun received hundreds of spirit stones and a batch of spiritual herbs below level three.

With the spirit stone, Yang Shiyun returned to the inn, paid the room for one month in advance, and instructed the waiter not to disturb his cultivation, and then returned to the room to start practicing the Star Dharma body.

Time flies, twenty days have passed, Yang Shiyun has used up all the spirit stones on hand, and his cultivation has been successfully upgraded to the eighth level of Qi training!

Immediately afterwards, Yang Shiyun refined the spiritual herbs on his hand into pills. He prepared to exchange some spiritual stones and spiritual herbs from the market to support his cultivation.

It took another day to refine the alchemy, and the door that had been closed for twenty-one days was opened again.

Yang Shiyun walked out of the room.

When he arrived at the hall, the waiter came over and greeted, "What are the instructions for the guest?"

"Prepare a table of good wine and food," Yang Shiyun said.

There are actually quite a few people like Yang Shiyun who stayed in the room for more than 20 days and haven’t come out.

Because everyone is a monk, it is common for me to go into seclusion to practice, and some guests are in seclusion for three or five months.

In the inn, I naturally wish that every guest would stay longer as much as possible.

After sitting down, Yang Shiyun heard a lot of new news, more than 80% of them were about the secret realm.

For example, XXX has lost her luck and obtained a treasure of nature and has developed overnight.

For example, if a famous master is completely trapped in the secret realm, he will never be able to get out.

I also have a rough impression of the newly opened secret realm.

Whether it is Yang Shiyun or his predecessor, they basically haven't entered the secret realm to take risks. Why?

Because as an alchemist, he does not lack spiritual stones at all. Although he is not as good as the disciples of some major forces in terms of cultivation resources, self-sufficiency is enough and there is no need to take risks with his own body.

You can only leave unless you are looking for some rare and unseen materials.

But as a low-level alchemist, almost all materials can be purchased with spirit stones.

"I heard that the two princes of the royal family, as well as the Duke of Wei, and several young masters of the Duke of Zheng's mansion, are also going to enter the secret realm to experience it."

"Your information is not complete at all. It was because the Imperial College put this graduation experience in this newly emerging secret realm. In addition to the fifth prince, the sixth prince and several young masters of the Duke's mansion, some senior officials also participated."

"Hey, these wealthy young men are all fat sheep!"

"So what about fat sheep? It's not your turn. I heard that the government will close the secret realm and give these young men a separate experience. There is nothing we can do."

When Yang Shiyun heard this, his heart moved. This was an opportunity!

If the government wants to block the secret realm, it will inevitably use a large amount of manpower. If it wants to effectively block the secret realm, at least two battalions of people will be needed.

At that time, the military camp will inevitably be empty, and there may be a chance to find and kill Chen Wei.

The reason why Yang Shiyun stayed in the county town and remained silent was because he wanted to kill Commander Chen, the leader who led his troops to massacre Gejia Village.

Yang Shiyun came to the market again and started selling elixirs. In one hour, he sold out all sixteen bottles of elixirs, twenty bottles of each bottle, and harvested about twenty bottles of spiritual herbs that could refine elixirs and two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Yang Shiyun's success rate in refining elixirs is 100%!

The cost is so low!

Two thousand low-grade spirit stones can be considered a small deal, which is enough to support Yang Shiyun to practice to the mid-stage of the eighth level of Qi training.

Yang Shiyun closed his stall and walked around the streets, alerting him that someone was following him.

Yang Shiyun immediately became alert and thought to himself, could my identity be exposed?

Yang Shiyun walked quietly and found who was following him, but strangely, until Yang Shiyun was about to approach the inn, he still did not find where the person who was following him was.

After Yang Shiyun practiced the Star Dharma Body, his spiritual awareness increased greatly. This kind of warning in the dark is absolutely impossible to be false.

This kind of alertness is also an existence similar to a magical power that only after practicing the "Star Dharma Body".

There are only two explanations when the person who followed him was not found.

The first one is that not only one person is following, but many people.

Another explanation is that the person who is following is still above Yang Shiyun himself, otherwise it would be impossible to discover it.

As for the gap in tracking and counter-tracking skills, it is impossible that there is no clue to it.

Yang Shiyun estimated that the first possibility was basically zero. What was left was that the person who was following was above him.

In this small county, those who have the motivation and strength to follow themselves are either interested in the wealth in their storage bags or are from the government!

Two thousand low-grade spirit stones are definitely considered huge sums.

Even if a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage meets, he will inevitably become interested in seeing money, especially the huge sum of money is still placed in the hands of a warrior in the True Qi Realm.

If it were the latter, then the other party would have taken action long ago, because the government officials could directly attack in the city without any scruples.

So, more likely the former.

After some analysis, Yang Shiyun felt very confident. As long as he was not from the government, he proved that his true identity was not exposed.

"Are the masters of the foundation building realm? Those foundation building masters who can be moved by just two thousand low-grade spirit stones should only be those random cultivators from wild ways? Just right, use you to test whether my Beidou sword finger is really as powerful as the inheritance said." Yang Shiyun said in his heart.

The Beidou sword finger, among the seven fingering techniques, any fingering technique can be extremely powerful when practicing it to the extreme. Even if Yang Shiyun is just a beginner, he can still challenge him even if he has learned the four fingering techniques!

But no matter how good the secret technique is, if you have not experienced it in practice, it will be a bit unreliable after all.

…………

Gui Tathagata, one of the most wanted criminals in the government, was a vicious person because of his killing officials, burning and looting the family, and doing all kinds of evil. However, this person's disguise skills are unique. He was wanted for more than ten years and is still at large.

This time, he was a little tight, so he set his sights on a fat sheep in the true Qi realm like Yang Shiyun.

However, even if he is as brave as he is, he will not dare to rob him openly in broad daylight and in full view of everyone.

Doing this way is equivalent to openly attacking the government and the royal family, which makes the royal family angry. Even if the Ghost Tathagata is powerful, he may not be able to move forward.

Yang Shiyun casually found a roadside restaurant for lunch and went out of the city to hunt monsters as if nothing had happened.

Yang Shiyun ran to a remote and deserted valley, waited quietly, sat cross-legged on a large stone, closing his eyes to rest.

The Ghost Tathagata was cautious by nature. He chased him to the mouth of the valley, and did not show up or enter the valley. Instead, he took a detour and climbed up the mountain, crossed the hill, and quietly observed the situation in the valley.

It seemed that there was no ambush, but when Gui Tathagata saw Yang Shiyun sitting there with fearlessness, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. A warrior in the True Qi Realm was so calm that he must have been cheating!

The ghost Tathagata, who is cautious by nature, cannot help but feel a retreating mentality.

Ghost Tathagata was extremely unwilling to give up, so he carefully investigated the valley, but found nothing. If it was a trap, it would be impossible to find any clues. Ghost Tathagata was extremely confident in his exploration skills. If there was a trap that could be hidden from his eyes, then those who could set up such a trap would not need to set up any traps. The strength alone would be enough to crush him.

Therefore, the Demon Tathagata is 80% sure that there are no traps in this valley.

"Is it an empty city plan?" Ghost Tathagata said to himself angrily.
