During the time spent with Xu Yang, Lin Yu understood his character clearly and did not like to let others know his strength.
"This world is dangerous. It's not good for people to know your exact strength." Xu Yang explained.
"I know, I won't talk nonsense."
"Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"When I was doing laundry recently, my neighbors often asked me about you, when did you improve your strength and what you practiced, so I just fooled you."
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Well, there's no need to say more."
"The ten spiritual herrings should be sold tomorrow."
"Keep five of them for yourself. You will probably be able to advance to a third-rate warrior by then. By then, you will be in better health."
Lin Yu was shocked, "This is a waste, I can just eat something ordinary."
These were spiritual herrings. When her father got two of them, he couldn't bear to part with them and exchanged them all for spiritual stones.
"You can eat as much as you want. You have to take good care of yourself, you know?"
"Yes, thank you husband." Lin Yu hugged Xu Yang tightly.

The next day, the weather became darker and soon started to rain lightly.
Xu Yang got up and saw the reward.
[My wife is happy again for your improvement in strength. At the same time, she felt particularly excited about the scene in the water yesterday, which made her satisfied. She gained 80 attribute points and obtained the second-level high-grade talisman: the golden light talisman. 】
"Haha, sure enough, with increased strength and a happy wife, there is a major reward, which is a second-level high-grade golden light talisman."
This talisman, if used well, can deal with people in the early stages of foundation building. It is naturally easier to deal with people in the later stages of Qi training!
"It turns out that Yu'er likes to be in the water. I get it, I get it!"
Looking at the shining golden talisman in his hand, Xu Yang carefully put it away.
…………
…………
Lin Yu packed up five spiritual herrings in the kitchen, picked up the raincoat and straw hat hanging on the wall, and walked out to give them to Xu Yang.
"Husband, please wear it, the rain will not stop for a while."
Although Xu Yang can use his spiritual energy to prevent rain, the journey back and forth consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Unless he is strong, he will not be able to persist.
Xu Yang responded, put on his raincoat and straw hat, carried the bag containing the herring, and took some passion fruit, stepped over the water at the door, and walked step by step towards the distance.
On a rainy day, few people went to work in the fields. Along the way, Xu Yang kept sensing the smells in the houses on both sides.
Speaking of which, although this is the world of cultivating immortals, the life of casual cultivators is similar to that of ordinary people.
This time, he came to Shopkeeper Xu. As soon as he reached the door, he found that there were many people inside, packing things, moving a lot of materials out, and putting them into storage bags, as if they were about to move.
Before I walked in, I was stopped by someone: "Buying something?"
"Yes, I know Shopkeeper Xu here." Xu Yang looked at this elegant middle-aged man in a green robe.
"Shopkeeper Xu." The middle-aged man called inside.
After a while, shopkeeper Xu walked out. His face was pale and he walked out with his waist hunched over. When he saw Xu Yang, he had no intention of saying hello.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what are you doing? Are you moving?"
"Yes, do you remember the two guys in my shop? They are both dead."
"What?" Xu Yang was shocked: "I saw them a few days ago. Why did they die in good condition?"
"It was done by a demon cultivator. All the essence and blood were drained from the body, and all the valuables in the store were gone. Hey...be careful next time. There is a demon cultivator in our place. Our store has been temporarily moved to the inner city, where it is even more dangerous." Safety."
Xu Yang's expression changed completely.
The demon cultivator is a more terrifying existence than the calamity cultivator.
In addition to robbing wealth, they also treat cultivators as food and use their flesh and blood for cultivation.
"If you want to buy things in the future, go to the inner city. Our Linhai Chamber of Commerce has two branches there." Shopkeeper Xu sighed: "By the way, what are you here to buy?"
"I sell some things. Yesterday I caught five spiritual herrings."
"Hey! You can actually catch the spirit herring, you are so capable."
Shopkeeper Xu was surprised.
The elegant middle-aged man next to him was also surprised and said, "The most difficult thing about catching the spirit herring is that it is very flexible in the water and cannot be caught without some tricks."
As he said that, he looked at Ling Qingyu specifically. Unfortunately, Ling Qingyu's wounds had been treated by Xu Yang, and they looked fine.
"I'm also lucky." Xu Yang didn't say much.
"Well, it seems that you have at least the third level of Qi training and are good at sensing breath, right?"
Xu Yang was shocked. This middle-aged man could guess this, so he didn't even hide it and nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man continued: "You are a spiritual planter. With such strength, you can be considered a talent. I wonder if you are interested in joining our Linhai Chamber of Commerce? Our Linhai Chamber of Commerce has high-grade spiritual lands in some places. You can plant them in the past." The land is not only rent-free, but also has a house to live in, the monthly salary is negotiable, and safety is guaranteed."
Shopkeeper Xu smiled and said: "Xu Yang, this is the regional deacon of our Linhai Chamber of Commerce, Senior Song Wei. This condition is very good. Please consider it carefully."
Xu Yang's first reaction was to refuse.
The conditions for joining the Linhai Chamber of Commerce are indeed good, but you lose your freedom.
His biggest secret is to ripen spiritual plants. After joining, his travel will be restricted and he will no longer be able to freely buy and sell spiritual plants.
He looked troubled, licked his lips, and sighed: "I also know that the conditions are very good, but I am used to village life, and I am afraid that I will not adapt in the past."
"Then think about it carefully."
Song Wei also felt that there was a shortage of people recently, so he just mentioned it casually. Xu Yang didn't understand, so forget it.
He entered the back room. Shopkeeper Xu quickly pulled Xu Yang and said, "Xu Yang, why did you refuse such a good opportunity just now? Do you know that the spiritual place that Deacon Song is responsible for is next to the residence of the eldest lady Song Yuqing?" , practicing in that spiritual land will allow you to get twice the result with half the effort, and Deacon Song Wei is a true direct descendant of the Chamber of Commerce, if you can be favored by him, you will have a bright future in the future."
"Then...well, I'll think about it carefully when I get back."
In order to prevent shopkeeper Xu from talking anymore, Xu Yang pretended to think about it.
"Well, from now on, you can come to the store in the inner city to find me, and I will count these five spiritual herrings for you."
Finally, the transaction was completed at a price of 25 spiritual stones.
After walking out of the shop, Xu Yang frowned. There was a demon cultivator here.
The outer city of Fangshi is becoming increasingly unsafe.
"How about moving to the inner city?"
His first reaction was spirit stones, a lot of spirit stones.
Even the cheapest house in the inner city costs at least four to five hundred spirit stones. It would take at least forty years for the original person to save this amount of spirit stones.
Of course, he can rent, but it is obviously not easy for him as a spiritual husband to rent a place with a house and land.
"It seems that we can only increase protective measures."
When I arrived at Shen Manyun's store, I saw her sighing behind the counter: "What can we do? What can we do?"
Xu Yang's expression changed and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Shen sighed so early in the morning. Why is that?"
"I'm afraid I can't save my shop. They want me to pay the rent within ten days. I still have eighty spiritual stones left."
The corner of Xu Yang's mouth twitched, secretly thinking that Shen Manyun had closed the door and it was time for him to contact other people.
"Hey, it's all my fault that I was too anxious a while ago. I bought a batch of talisman paper raw materials, hoping to refine some more talismans and make a fortune. Who knew that those times I was in extremely bad shape, not to mention not making any money, but also losing money. Talisman Most are unqualified.”
Xu Yang asked: "What is the level of the talisman made by fellow Daoist Shen?"
"The first-order low-grade is just a little unstable."
Good guy, a low-level first-level Talisman Master, the lowest level, is not very stable yet.
In this regard, Xu Yang could only express sympathy, but it was impossible to help.
"Have you heard about the evil cultivator here, Fellow Daoist Shen?"
"I heard it. If I didn't live here, it would be even more dangerous."
The shop she rented had a high-grade protective formation. If she moved out, even the formation would have to be considered again.
"Hey, what can I do? What can I do? Is there a suitable location for my Taoist friend? If it doesn't work, I can only find another place to live."
She had already thought that if it didn't work out, she would just find a place to specialize in making talismans and make a living like some casual talisman makers.
"Young Daoist Shen don't want to live in the city?"
"I can't afford to live here, I guess." Shen Manyun shook his head and sighed, holding his chin in his hands, and suddenly said: "Oh, I forgot to greet Fellow Daoist Xu. Fellow Daoist Xu, please sit down. Do you have any big business to do?"
If Xu Yang discovers dozens more hemorrhagic grass ginseng plants, it might be able to solve her urgent need.
Fortunately, Xu Yang didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have scolded her for being greedy.
Later, Xu Yang took out dozens of passion fruits: "The harvest in the fields has been good these days, so I picked some more."
"You are quite powerful. It seems that your spiritual planting technique is at least a first-level high-grade one."
Xu Yang smiled and said nothing.
This time, the passion fruit was sold for 80 spirit stones, which surprised him.
"Hey, I can't keep running here, so I won't be able to make any profit. Fellow Daoist Xu recently helped me find a house closer to here."
"There are houses." Xu Yang collected the spirit stones and said, "Several families over there were killed by Jie Xiu. Now the houses are vacant. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."
"Really, that would be great."
Xu Yang was talking about where Wang Hu lived and where Lao Wang and Jie Xiu Zhou Bo lived.
Among them, Jie Xiu Zhou Bo lived three or four houses away from his home. It was a big place, and the yard and backyard were more than twice as big as his home.
"That's great, I'll go back and take a look."
…………
After leaving here, Xu Yang entered the city and came to a place where formations were sold.
Now that he had nearly five hundred spirit stones, he could afford a first-level high-grade formation, so he decided to buy a good one.
In this way, three sets of formations at home are safer.
As expected of a place that specializes in selling formations, the formations here are of a much higher grade.
He took a fancy to a set of first-grade high-grade flame formations, which had the same attributes as the first set of formations he bought before, but the level was different.
Used together, they have additive effects.
But the price is very impressive, it costs three hundred and forty spiritual stones!
"Little brother, this formation can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You don't need to deliberately input the spiritual energy after use. It is extremely durable. You live in the outer city, and now there is a demon cultivator in the outer city. With this formation, you can be safe."
The shopkeeper saw that Xu Yang was not wearing a robe, so it was easy to guess that he lived in an outer city.
In the end, after counter-offering, I got five spiritual stones cheaper.
After paying the spirit stones, he went to the second-hand market and spent 80 spirit stones to buy a storage bag that could only hold two cubic meters of supplies.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of days passed.
Early that morning, news came again from Shopkeeper Xu's street that the demon cultivator killed a merchant and all five people inside died tragically.
At the same time, people from the Xu family came down to check those who had not yet paid their rent.
There are a total of eleven families here who have not paid their rent on time and will be evicted.
