Previously, Luo Ziren felt that Fire Crow Technique needed to incorporate spiritual consciousness to guide spellcasting, which was very similar to the principle of sword control.
In addition, the strength of his spiritual consciousness has reached the level of perfect Qi refining, and it is only a month or two before he transforms into a foundation-building spiritual consciousness!
Under the premise that it is temporarily impossible to obtain sword control skills from the Library Pavilion——
Luo Ziren entrusted Lan Qingquan to help him go to the market to inquire about the selling price of sword-controlling techniques.
"I wonder what the outcome will be?"
Luo Ziren picked up the psychic phone and checked the pop-up psychic message:
[Lan Qingquan: Boss Luo, I have inquired for you. There are many casual cultivators in Fangshi who are willing to sell sword-controlling techniques, and the price is not particularly expensive. There's just one thing. Most of the exercises have not been registered. Are you sure you want to buy them? 】
Luo Ziren frowned slightly when he saw this news.
The Taoist League strictly controls the spread of the exercises, not only targeting Taoist academies, sects, companies and other institutions, but also targeting individual practitioners.
It stands to reason that if casual cultivators want to disseminate the exercises, they need to fill in the registration information with the Law Enforcement Bureau, indicating the seller's information and the source of the exercises, as well as proof of permission to spread.
And every time a transaction is completed, you need to go to the Law Enforcement Bureau to supplement the registration of the buyer's information and pay the transaction tax!
The whole process is not only troublesome, but also requires additional tax!
Obviously, such harsh regulations are not conducive to casual cultivators earning spiritual stone coins.
Therefore, when most casual cultivators sell their skills, they choose not to register them!
In this case, the origin of the technique is unknown, and the buyer may get into unnecessary trouble.
But the advantage is that you can save some spirit stone coins.
After all, the seller is spared the trouble and doesn’t have to pay taxes, so he must sell it cheaper!
Although Luo Ziren is not a rule-abiding person, he only takes risks on small issues.
A sword-controlling technique, a large-scale transaction worth at least tens of thousands of spiritual stone coins.
What should I do if I encounter a scammer if I buy an unregistered exercise? !
Luo Ziren thought it was too risky, so he sent a message back to Lan Qingquan:
[Is there no registered sword-controlling technique? 】
The message was sent and a reply was received quickly:
[Lan Qingquan: You can file it if you want. If the selling price increases by 50%, the seller will be willing to cooperate with you to register with the Law Enforcement Bureau. 】
Luo Ziren: "..."
The wool comes from the sheep!
Luo Ziren thought for a while and decided to understand the price first.
[Let me talk about the prices of several sword-control techniques in the early stage of foundation building, so that I can have a firm idea. 】
[Lan Qingquan: Okay! I have found two pretty good second-level low-grade sword-control techniques here. A technique is used to control a single flying sword, which is famous for its speed. It is called "Thunderbolt Electric Sword" and sells for 12,000 spirit stone coins. The other is a sword technique for controlling multiple flying swords, called "Rain of Flowers in the Sky", which sells for 20,000 spirit stone coins. These are the prices without registration. If registration is required, the price will increase by 50%! 】
Luo Ziren couldn't help but frown when he saw the selling price of this long series of numbers.
Is the price of this sword-controlling technique too expensive? !
You know, if you can successfully establish a foundation in a higher Taoist academy, you can at least learn a sword-controlling technique for free!
At most, you need to do some tasks to earn contribution points!
Ordinary sword control skills at the early stage of foundation building actually cost more than 10,000 or 20,000 spirit stone coins?
A foundation-building pill that can change your destiny, or even a gram of soul crystal, a fourth-level tool-making material, only costs 100,000 spirit stone coins!
"Thinking about it this way, the price of soul crystal, a natural and earthly treasure, is too low!"
"Are the fourth-level heavenly materials and earthly treasures that make spiritual treasures so worthless?"
"Or is there no shortage of soul crystals in the market? The supply exceeds demand and the price cannot rise?!"
Luo Ziren felt unfair about the price of the soul crystal.
This is the only treasure of heaven and earth that he can bring back from the wild world!
Such a low price is simply not worthy of Soul Crystal’s fourth-level title!
"etc......"
Luo Ziren suddenly felt something was wrong.
The prices are quoted by Lan Qingquan, he may not be honest about the original price!
You know, Lan Qingquan was originally a scalper who was reselling his training room qualifications and was persuaded to quit by the Taoist Academy.
"When it comes to such a large transaction volume, you still have to go to Fangshi to have a look in person before you feel at ease."
"Otherwise, it would be too miserable to be killed by Lan Qingquan with a ruthless knife!"
Thinking of this, Luo Ziren sent a message back to Lan Qingquan:
【Thanks! I will tell the elders in the family about the quotation and let them make a decision. 】
Luo Ziren made a friend out of nowhere and ended the topic.
In a spell shop in Fang City, the eastern suburb of Lingzhou.
Lan Qingquan didn't become suspicious after seeing Luo Ziren's last message.
After all, Luo Ziren was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining and a poor Taoist student. He could not be a potential buyer of sword-controlling techniques.
It is very reasonable for the elders in the family who are in the foundation-building stage to ask the young people to help with running errands and asking questions!
For such a big order, Lan Qingquan didn't expect to seal the deal just by talking.
How can business be so easy?
Luo Ziren guessed correctly.
The price quoted by Lan Qingquan was indeed higher than the market price.
People always have to earn spiritual stone coins to be motivated to do things.
A 10% handling fee is Lan Qingquan's "business rule" as an intermediary.
Don't work in vain, don't kill people.
He is such a principled blue man.
"By the way, looking at the entire Lingzhou, there don't seem to be many foundation-building monks named Luo, right?"
“I don’t know which person or persons are the elders of Luo Ziren’s family?!”
Lan Qingquan held his chubby chin with his hand and fell into deep thought.
...
the other side.
Luo Ziren ended his communication with Lan Qingquan, and the usage time of the training room was also exhausted.
At this time, the afternoon classes were about to begin. Just when Luo Ziren was considering whether to ask for leave, Yu Dehua suddenly sent a message:
[Brother Luo, go back to the classroom quickly! Lao Huang conducts a surprise exam! He said that he had missed more than two exams this semester and failed the exam! 】
Lao Huang is the head teacher Huang Quan, who is also the formation teacher.
As the head teacher of the third year of high school, the evaluation records given by Huang Quan will be included in the student status file, which may affect the admission to the college entrance examination. This should not be underestimated!
Therefore, Luo Ziren could only rush to the classroom to participate in this formation theory assessment.
When Luo Ziren returned to the classroom, Huang Quan was already standing on the podium with a cold face.
Under the stage, there was a jade slip placed on everyone's table.
"The questions for this formation theory test have been stored in the same jade slip used in the college entrance examination room."
"You should also do the questions seriously just like you did for the college entrance examination, and don't think about cheating again!"
"Those students whose spiritual consciousness is not strong enough and who cannot complete the questions should find a way to deal with it themselves!"
Huang Quan's tone was merciless, even a little gloating:
"You don't listen to me telling you to work harder in practice. Now it's time for the exam. Don't expect me to be lenient!"
Luo Ziren was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Actually using jade slips to write the questions, Lao Huang was quite willing to spend a lot of money this time.
The reading and burning of jade slips require the use of spiritual consciousness.
Compared with paper test papers, using jade briefs is too troublesome.
For this mock assessment, Huang Quan either worked overtime for several days to burn the jade slips himself, or spent spirit stone coins to hire help.
Spending so much money is just to make students adapt to the rules of the college entrance examination in advance.
No matter how unpleasant Huang Quan's words are or how snobbish he is, he is still a responsible teacher after all.
For students, using jade slips for exams can be very troublesome.
First of all, it is completely impossible to cheat when reading the jade slips with full concentration and thinking.
Moreover, using spiritual consciousness to write jade short-answer questions is a very labor-intensive task.
Students whose spiritual consciousness is below the fifth level of Qi Refining are simply unable to answer the questions.
This is also an invisible threshold in the college entrance examination.
If you don’t have the fifth level of Qi Refining and can’t even finish the exam questions, why do you still want to take the entrance exam to a higher Taoist academy? !
The former Luo Ziren, if he suddenly faced this kind of test, the ending would definitely be quite bleak!
Usually I can get 80 points on the paper, but if I use jade slips to take the exam, it will be good if I can get 60 points on the test.
But now...
Luo Ziren was thinking about what score he should get this time.
Recently, he often stayed in the wilderness world for ten and a half days at a time.
Moreover, as a snake who cannot leave the cave at will, he has nothing to do except practice ecstasy and review theoretical knowledge.
Luo Ziren has completely mastered the theoretical knowledge of formations in high school.
If he weren't worried about exposing his secret, Luo Ziren could easily get full marks in this assessment.
Here’s the problem, the spiritual consciousness at the fourth level of Qi Refining can’t even finish the questions.
If he got perfect marks on the exam, wouldn't he tell everyone that he had a problem?
"You can't get full marks, but at most you can get a slightly better score than before."
"It proves that my theoretical knowledge of formations is improving."
"Just leave the last big question blank!"
With this thought in mind, Luo Ziren returned to his seat, picked up the jade slip, put it against his forehead, and began to concentrate on taking the exam.
The first part of the exam is fill-in-the-blank questions:
Geng plus Rigan is Fugan, ________
Add one Gong Xi to fight in the wild, ________
Geng added value Futian Yifu, ________
_________, when adding Ren, it is the upper grid.
...
"Qimen formation formula? This is the basic formation theory. I will give you points!"
Without thinking, Luo Ziren's spiritual consciousness moved slightly and he burned all the correct answers on the blank spaces.
Next are judgment questions, short answer questions, formation identification questions by looking at pictures, formation design questions, formation improvement questions...
All the questions became very simple in Luo Ziren's eyes.
Even if this test paper is a difficult question designed with reference to the real questions of the college entrance examination in previous years!
If he wants, he can answer all the questions in three to two minutes.
In this case, the speed is a bit too shocking!
The time given for the entire exam is two hours!
Luo Ziren deliberately left the last big question blank, and then answered all the other questions.
Next, Luo Ziren took the opportunity to practice the [Ecstasy] method. It was only half an hour before the exam time that he pretended to be tired and took the jade slip.
This performance is very consistent with the state that a fourth-level Qi refining student should have.
After Luo Ziren put down the jade slip, he found that he was almost the first to "hand in the paper".
Everyone else was still holding the jade slips on their heads, thinking hard.
In this way, Huang Quan on the podium inevitably paid attention to Luo Ziren.
"You ran out of energy so quickly?"
"Huh, what a disappointing guy!"
Huang Quan glanced sideways at Luo Ziren, snorted softly, walked over and took away the jade slip.
"There's still half an hour until the exam ends!"
“Don’t leave questions blank if you don’t know how to solve them!”
"Don't give up until your mental energy is exhausted!"
Huang Quan held the jade slip in his hand and said lazily while slapping the palm of his other hand casually.
For him, the most boring thing in the world is invigilating exams.
After returning to the podium, Huang Quan glanced at the "exam paper" belonging to Luo Ziren in his hand, and felt curious.
'In the past, Luo Ziren's theoretical scores on formations were pretty good. I wonder how many points he can get this time when his mental power is limited? ! '
Thinking of this, Huang Quan subconsciously picked up the jade slip, put it in front of his forehead, and started reading at will.
Within three to five minutes, Huang Quan put down the jade slip with a strange look on his face.
"This kid Luo Ziren, the questions he made are all correct?"
"You scored 85 points without taking the last 15-point question?!"
"If his spiritual consciousness was stronger, he would still be able to get a score of 90 or above even if he didn't get all the last questions right."
"This is already among the top five in a single subject!"
"Why is this kid progressing so fast? Is it possible that he has been trying to defeat me on the theoretical knowledge of formations during this period?"
When Huang Quan looked at Luo Ziren again, his eyes softened a little.
As a teacher, Huang Quan naturally likes students who work hard.
It would be even more gratifying if the student's efforts happened to be the subject he taught.
In the past, Huang Quan ignored Luo Ziren, on the one hand because Luo Ziren's cultivation was too weak, and on the other hand because Luo Ziren often scored full marks in the weapon-making test, and only about 80 in the formation and Dao test.
This kind of performance made Huang Quan not satisfied with Luo Ziren.
After all, Formation Dao is the basis for making weapons. You can’t get perfect marks in the weapon-making test and say you’re not good at Formation Dao!
Huang Quan feels that Luo Ziren allocates his study energy in this way because he wants to use his expertise in tool making to get into the Cultivation and Hundred Arts College with a professional counterpart!
In that case, Luo Ziren's achievements basically have nothing to do with him!
Since it can't bring honor, why should Huang Quan look down on Luo Ziren?
Now...
Although Huang Quan didn't understand why Luo Ziren changed his mind.
But he thinks this is a good thing!
'As long as you concentrate on studying the formation, you will be my good student! '
As soon as this idea came to mind, Huang Quan felt that Luo Ziren was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
He was suddenly curious, did this kid know the answer to the last big question?
Otherwise, ask?
Thinking of this, Huang Quan walked down the podium with his hands behind his back, walked to the "mentally exhausted" Luo Ziren, and asked gently:
"How are you doing? Are you feeling better?"
At this time, Ye Ningzi, who was in front of Luo Ziren, had just finished answering the question. When she heard Huang Quan's concerned greeting, she couldn't help but be stunned.
'When did the head teacher become so gentle to Luo Ziren? '
Ye Ningzi didn't understand.
Luo Ziren was also a little confused.
Didn’t Lao Huang always think of himself as air?
What's going on today? Suddenly transitioned?
Luo Ziren didn't think that a test paper with a score of 80 or so could make Huang Quan suddenly "feel different".
"Okay, what's wrong with Teacher Huang?"
Luo Ziren asked, pretending to be strong.
"I want to ask you, have you thought about the solution to the last big question?"
Huang Quan looked at Luo Ziren with burning eyes, his face full of expectation.
When Luo Ziren heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
That’s what it’s for!
