Luo Ziren knew very well that he was not a great person.

I don't even dare to have such extravagant hopes.

Only when he is sure that he will not get burned will he do some good deeds within his power.

Unless it involves himself and his close relatives, he will never fight tooth and nail.

He is just an ordinary person who is 70% selfish and 30% kind.

Luo Ziren felt that it was not good for him to be like this, but before building a foundation, this was probably the best way to survive.

eight pm.

Luo Ziren left the Taoist Temple and came to Jiufang City, located in the eastern suburbs of Lingzhou.

Before setting off, he thought "Jiufang City" was just a trading market.

When I arrived, I discovered that Jiufang City not only covers a large area, but also has a ridiculously large population!

Looking around, there are many old residential buildings with more than 80 floors, forming a large dense shadow.

Under the slightly dim yellow psychic street lights, every street and alley was crowded with people of all kinds.

There are various small vendors on the roadside selling various fast food, snacks, and fruits.

A gust of wind blew, and the rich smoke of human fireworks made Luo Ziren, who was wearing a mask, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

People, mostly mortals.

Food is not spiritual food either.

There is no spiritual vein here, it is a place where mortals live!

Luo Ziren has always felt that his parents' work in the device factory was very hard.

From an early age, I couldn’t see my parents before sunset every day.

Luo Ziren felt that such family conditions were very bad.

But now, Luo Ziren understood.

For many people, their parents, who are Qi Refining monks, are already considered masters.

The hard work of Daomeng's directly-affiliated device manufacturing factory is even more unimaginable and decent life!

The hundreds of people crowded together in front of him made Luo Ziren feel dirty in one word.

Dirty streets, dirty clothes, dirty hands and feet, dirty food...

Even without using his spiritual consciousness, Luo Ziren can clearly perceive the filth of the world.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Luo Ziren wouldn't have believed that there was such a place in Lingzhou.

Is this really the location of Lingzhou Jiufang City?

Did you take the wrong bus?

Luo Ziren is a little skeptical about life.

"This is your first time coming to Fangshi. Do you need to hire a guide? I'm very cheap."

A timid voice sounded.

Luo Ziren looked down and met a pair of longing eyes.

He was a child in his early ten years, barefoot, wearing old clothes full of patches, with a dark face and short hair, making it difficult to identify his gender.

This...winter isn't over yet!

Luo Ziren was silent for a second and asked:

"Is there really a market near here?"

Luo Ziren's response made the child's eyes light up:

"Yes! The market is right inside. As long as you are willing to buy a bag of bread for me, I can take you in."

Although you can find the best route by using your spiritual consciousness to scan.

But Luo Ziren decided to buy some bread and experience the experience of being led by a guide.

Two large bags of bread weighing 5 kilograms cost 0.01 spirit stone coins.

The price is definitely expensive, but Luo Ziren is too lazy to care.

"Thank you, distinguished guest!"

The short-haired kid was holding two bags of bread with all his might, with a happy smile on his face.

"Where is your home? Why don't you put your things home first."

Luo Ziren said casually.

"impossible."

The child shook his head: "If you accept the reward without completing the task and throw the guests aside, you will be punished by the 'elder'."

"Who is the elder?"

Luo Ziren asked calmly.

"The elder is Elder Songbai, the master of Jiufang City."

When the child said this, he added:

"By the way, Elder Songbai is a late-stage foundation-building monk!"

"The entire Fang City, as well as these mortals outside Fang City, are under his control."

Late stage of foundation building!

Luo Ziren frowned. He didn't expect that the owner of a place like this had a similar level of cultivation to the dean of his Taoist academy?

Does this mortal town hide such huge interests?

Or is this market not as simple as imagined?

correct!

Luo Ziren remembered that there seemed to be a black market near Jiufang City that started trading in the early morning!

The majority of Elder Songbai's revenue should come from the black market, right?

As for how to earn spirit stone coins, it's hard to say.

Buy low, sell high? Black and white? It's possible!

The child carrying the bread led Luo Ziren to turn left and right in the dark alley for about ten minutes, and finally arrived outside a quiet manor like a small park.

"Dear guest, this manor is the city you want to go to."

"I don't have spiritual roots, so I can't get in."

The child held two bags of bread in his arms, raised his head, and spoke seriously to Luo Ziren.

"I see."

Luo Ziren nodded and asked, "What's your name?"

"An Zhiyue."

When the child said his name, his voice became a little gentler, and he finally heard it was a female voice.

"Okay, An Zhiyue, goodbye."

Luo Ziren walked into the manor and vaguely heard a voice coming from behind:

"Goodbye...good-looking big brother!"

...

An Zhiyue didn't lie.

Inside the Quiet Manor is indeed Lingzhou Jiufang City.

After Luo Ziren passed through a simple psychedelic formation, he truly entered the boundaries of Jiufang City, Lingzhou.

What comes into view are three ancient-style commercial streets with many shops on the streets.

Spell shop, elixir shop, magic weapon shop, exercise book shop, spiritual animal shop... you can find it all.

Not surprisingly, Lan Qingquan's spell shop should also be among them.

In the corner of the wall next to the shop, there are also many individual stalls for casual practitioners.

On a piece of dirty rag, there are various "treasures" that I don't know where they came from.

Some are made very real, like antiques.

Some of the handwork is not very good, and it looks fake at first glance.

As for customers, I don’t know if it’s because of the night, but there aren’t many customers in the market.

Luo Ziren, who suddenly broke in, was a bit conspicuous.

Fortunately, the monks had very stable personalities. Even though they thought Luo Ziren was like a fat sheep, he didn't mean to yell at him and remained aloof enough.

Luo Ziren pretended to be familiar with the road and walked directly into the nearest Kung Fu book store.

The main reason he came to Fangshi this time was to check the price of the sword-controlling technique.

Previously, Luo Ziren asked Lan Qingquan to help inquire about the price, but he felt that the final offer was a bit high.

He was ready to come over and try it himself.

Luo Ziren's actions immediately attracted the attention of many casual cultivators setting up stalls.

"Any book on Kung Fu can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of spirit stone coins! This guy is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, but he is so rich?!"

"She must be a Taoist student! Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They don't have companions and they don't know how to hide themselves. They are very courageous!"

"I think he is desperate? Do you think this is Lingzhou City?"

"madness!"

...

Xinyuan Classics Store.

The store manager Han Xihu, who was doing the accounting, felt happy when he heard that a customer came in.

Looking up and seeing Luo Ziren, the smile on his face suddenly froze a bit.

Was there any mistake?

Young people at the fifth level of Qi refining come to buy exercises?

Even if you have enough spirit stone coins to buy the exercises, can you take them home smoothly?

If there are not enough spirit stone coins, then this boy has nothing to entertain!

Thinking of this, Han Xihu continued to take stock and let Luo Ziren wander around by himself.

Luo Ziren walked around and quickly found two sword-control techniques that Lan Qingquan had mentioned to him: [Thunderbolt Electric Sword] and [Sky of Flowers Rain].

The former sword-controlling technique involves using a fast sword, while the latter involves controlling multiple flying swords at the same time.

I have to say that Lan Qingquan has a pretty good eye for choosing sword-controlling skills.

These two sword-control techniques are very practical and are what Luo Ziren needs.

After looking at the price:

[Thunderbolt Electric Sword 13500 Spirit Stone Coins]

[23,000 Lingshi coins in the rain of flowers]

"Um?"

Luo Ziren was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that the price quoted by the Kung Fu Book Store for the Sword Control Technique was actually higher than Lan Qingquan's price? !

"Could it be that that guy Lan Qingquan helped negotiate the price?"

"In this case, even if he earns a handling fee, the price I get is still cheaper than in the store?!"

Luo Ziren quickly figured out what was going on and felt a little dumbfounded.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have made this trip!

Thinking of this, Luo Ziren looked at the shop owner with some reluctance:

"Boss, can the price of this sword-controlling technique be cheaper?"

When Han Xihu heard this, an apologetic smile appeared on his face:

"I'm sorry, our store is a chain store and we don't negotiate the price of Kung Fu books!"

Han Xihu didn't even ask Luo Ziren which sword-controlling technique he wanted. He just asked Luo Ziren to retreat.

"Understood."

Luo Ziren shut up in embarrassment.

His bargaining power has been fully utilized.

I really don’t have the ability!

Next, Luo Ziren tried other Kung Fu book stores.

The results are pretty much the same.

Even in shops where they can bargain a little, the final negotiated price is beyond Luo Ziren's psychological range.

Now he was really convinced.

It seems that Lan Qingquan is still trustworthy.

Whatever you buy in the future, let him help you do it.

Luo Ziren thought of this and prepared to leave Fangshi.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a stall of casual cultivators with an advertising banner hanging vertically.

There are two big words written on it:

"Xianyu!"

...

[Sorry, the update is late. I didn’t expect that the coding state would be so bad after 12 o’clock, and coupled with the revision of the previous chapter, it would actually be delayed until now. 】
