"Hey! Isn't this the leader of the Gu family?"
Not far away on the right, a slightly harsh sound sounded.
Gu Tingyue's figure froze, and she turned around with a smile.
A woman dressed in yellow cedar, whose cultivation is at the ninth level of Qi Refining, stands next to a tall man with sword-shaped eyebrows and a somewhat cold gaze. This tall man's spiritual power fluctuations are faintly approaching perfection, and he is obviously at the Great Perfection state of Qi Refining. , a monk who is about to build the Dao foundation and break through the foundation building period.
The words just now came from the mouth of the Huangshan woman.
The stunning face of Gu Tingyue turned around, making the tall male cultivator who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining Realm shine brightly. Although there were few ugly girls among the cultivators, the beauties in front of her were obviously naturally beautiful, which was a joy to watch.
He turned his eyes and glanced at Gu Qing and An Menghuan behind Gu Tingyue, and immediately sensed that An Meng was just an ordinary person without spiritual power. As for the young man with black stripes all over his body, he could not sense it either. If there is even the slightest fluctuation in spiritual power, he is probably an ordinary person with no spiritual power.
"Junior Sister Dou, I wonder who this is..." So, the man completely ignored Gu Qing and An Meng, these two ordinary people.
For most monks, the only value of ordinary people in the world, apart from their own relatives, is to reproduce offspring, continue the bloodline for the human race, or give birth to babies with spiritual roots.
"This is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Gu family in Huanhua Lane, Siling Town. Gu Tingyue is also the aunt of the head of the Gu family."
The Huangshan woman heard the words and responded softly.
Before she finished speaking, she realized something and looked at the tall male cultivator with some displeasure: "Why, does Senior Brother think that Gu Tingyue's appearance is exquisite, and can't help but feel a little coveted in her heart?"
"How could that happen?"
Embarrassment flashed across the tall male monk's face.
But it was only for a moment, and then it disappeared.
The tall male cultivator turned around and passed a few disgusting words to the ear of the Huangshan woman. The Huangshan woman's face immediately turned red, and the look of pride in her eyes as she looked at Gu Tingyue became more intense.
At this time, Gu Tingyue slowly spoke.
"Who do you think I am? Isn't this the young lady from the Dou family who was returned? It's really strange. Many years ago, I heard that the young lady from the Dou family was annulled and committed suicide before she could go crazy. Now that we meet again, it's true!" Gu Tingyue said. An old lady sighed at last, shook her head, looked at the tall male cultivator with pity, opened her mouth, but said nothing, turned around and left.
When the tall male cultivator heard this, he looked at the Huangshan woman with a strange look.
The face of the Huangshan woman became a little ugly. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Gu Tingyue! Don't slander anyone! The person in my Dou family whose engagement was broken off is one of my cousins, and she is already married now!"
"Whether it's a slander or not is up to others to decide." Gu Tingyue said without looking back, obviously not taking the Huangshan woman seriously.
The Huangshan woman's tall chest rose and fell, and she wanted to say something more, but she realized that Gu Tingyue had walked away. In the end, she could only stare at Gu Tingyue's back angrily, and stamped her feet in anger.
The tall male cultivator on the side said at this time: "Ahem! Junior Sister Dou, don't worry about this matter. Although that fellow Taoist Gu Tingyue's words were sharper, they were probably just teasing... Hey! Junior Sister Dou!"
"Junior Sister Dou! Stay and don't walk so fast!"
Gu Qing didn't care about the little episode just now.
On the contrary, after Gu Tingyue walked out of Baizhang, she leaned over and apologized to him, saying that she had been impulsive just now and hoped that Gu Qingmo would not blame her.
"do not mind."
Gu Qing responded.
He looked at a stall selling various spiritual materials in front of him, and asked Gu Tingyue: "Fellow Taoist Tingyue, I wonder how much the various spiritual materials used in making first-level spiritual talismans in Yinyuefang City are worth?"
Gu Tingyue said: "Returning to my senior, the prices of talisman-making materials sold in major shops in Yinyuefang City are pretty much the same, but there is a big gap between stalls."
"The spiritual materials needed to make talismans are nothing more than talisman paper, talisman ink, and a spirit liquid. As for the talisman pen and inkstone, which are already in the category of magic tools, they are not included in this list.
Leaving aside the liquid, this is not necessary. "
"In this way, only the talisman paper and the talisman ink are left. Among these two items, the talisman paper is made from a wide variety of spiritual plants, or directly made from the skin of monster beasts, while the talisman ink is mostly made of the blood of monster beasts. The main material is supplemented by various spiritual objects. After grinding, it is dried in a special way with earth fire and made into ink sticks for sale."
"Therefore, the sales price of spiritual materials for making talismans often decreases due to the discovery of a large number of spiritual plants in a certain place, or the occurrence of a beast tide somewhere, and increases due to the lack of basic materials. In recent days, it should be regarded as the price A lower stage." Gu Tingyue talked eloquently, and she actually knew a lot about this aspect.
After hearing this, Gu Qing said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Tingyue, for letting me know!"
Immediately, Gu Qing headed towards that stall.
Previously, among the seal painting techniques for spiritual talismans that Gu Qing had obtained in the world in that square tripod, apart from some seal painting techniques for ancient spiritual talismans, the rest were two second-order high-grade spiritual talisman seal drawing techniques, and three second-order low-grade spiritual talisman seal drawing techniques. method, as well as the seal painting method of twenty-seven first-level spiritual talismans.
Seeing Gu Qing taking action, Gu Tingyue hurriedly followed.
Gu Qing turned around slightly and asked: "Friend Tingyue, do you know what are the conditions for setting up a stall in Yinyuefang City? Can I set up a stall at will, or do I need to report to someone?"
"No need."
Gu Tingyue shook her head.
"There are indeed many markets on the island, and you need to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones to set up a stall. However, there is no such rule in Yinyuefang City. However, there were stall owners who dared to defraud other monks of their spiritual stones in Yinyuefang City. I wanted to use my cultivation to force the monk who was suffering a loss and make him settle down. In the end, the stall owner who defrauded other monks of their spiritual stones was slapped to death in front of the stall by the stall owner."
An Meng's face turned pale after hearing this.
Gu Qing nodded and said: "That's good! You don't need to pay additional spirit stones to set up a stall! But, if this is the case, this Yinyuefang City..."
He did not continue speaking and stopped mid-sentence.
What makes Gu Qing a little confused is that if the Silver Moon method does not charge the monks to set up stalls, then the value created by this huge Silver Moon Square market for the stall owner and the spiritual stones earned will be greatly reduced?
While talking, Gu Qing came to a stall selling various spiritual materials.
There are quite a few monks in front of this stall.
In addition to Gu Qing and the others, there were more than a dozen people gathered in front of the stall. The stall owner was a thin man with sparse stubble on his face. He was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. He was sitting on a futon behind the stall. On the stall, the old god closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, seemingly not worried about anyone taking the things on the stall.
Gu Qing scanned the stall a few times, picked up a stack of talisman paper placed on the edge of the stall, brought it to his nose, and sniffed it a few times.
"The quality is average, and it's a top-grade seal painting talisman, so it won't be a problem." Gu Qing commented, then raised his hand to the stall owner.
He said: "How many spiritual stones does this kind of talisman paper cost? If I buy it in large quantities and match it with your own talisman ink, can I collect less spiritual stones?"
The stall owner's eyelids moved.
Then a sharp voice sounded: "The talisman paper in your hand is a stack of hundreds, and each stack contains four low-grade spiritual stones. If it is paired with ordinary talisman ink, and if you purchase more than fifty stacks at a time, you can receive half a low-grade spiritual stone per stack. "
"The talisman equivalent to this talisman paper is this kind."
"A strip of ink, a piece of spiritual stone."
The stall owner stretched out his hand towards the stall in front.
A few gray ink sticks floated in front of Gu Qing's eyes.
Gu Qing grabbed an ink stick and made a brief distinction.
This kind of ink stick is obviously larger than the low-grade ink sticks he has seen. Judging from its texture, there should be no other difference.
Gu Qing nodded and said, "Yes! A hundred stacks of these talisman papers and five hundred such ink sticks, I wonder if you can get them here?"
The stall owner's originally closed eyes suddenly opened.
He smiled and said, "Of course we can get it together!"
"The spiritual materials for making talisman paper here should be the most comprehensive in Yinyuefang City, apart from the major shops! Fellow Taoist, you can rest assured."
The stall owner quickly took out the Gu
The five hundred ink sticks and one hundred stacks of talisman papers that Qing needed were handed over to Gu Qing after Gu Qing took out nine middle-grade spiritual stones. Since the total price of this batch of talisman-making spiritual materials was 850 low-grade spiritual stones. Stone, the stall owner gave Gu Qing fifty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones.
"No need for now."
Gu Qing waved his hand but did not pick it up.
"There is no talisman paper or talisman ink in this stall that can be used to seal and draw second-level talismans. I don't know..." Then, Gu Qingru said to the stall owner.
The stall owner's expression changed slightly.
"The talisman paper and talisman ink for the second-level seal drawing talisman?" He was shocked by Gu Qing's powerful spiritual consciousness. He repeated Gu Qing's needs through the same voice transmission, and then directly asked the question, "Dare you ask what my friend needs?" , is it the talisman paper and talisman ink required for seal painting of second-level low-grade and medium-grade talismans, or the talisman paper and talisman ink required for seal-painting of second-order high-grade and extremely high-grade spiritual talismans?"
"What about the former, what about the latter?" Gu Qing asked.
This time, when Gu Qing transmitted the message to the stall owner, he showed a little bit of his cultivation aura, and the stall owner's eyes immediately changed.
"senior……"
The stall owner was shocked and said with a wry smile: "If seniors have such a need, then the former and the latter are nothing more than the price."
He really doesn’t want to sell talisman paper and talisman ink that can seal the second-level high-grade and top-grade talismans. After all, he is just a monk who sets up a stall, and his status on the island is low. However, as a foundation-building monk, if he refuses His words had been leaked before, and it was unlikely that he would be resented by the foundation-building monk in front of him.
Just thinking about being resented by a foundation-building monk, he felt that the next time he left the island, he would die and leave this world forever.
Gu Qing did not continue to speak.
He stared at the stall owner and waited quietly.
The stall owner was also a straightforward owner, and he closed the stall on the spot. Regardless of the complaints from the monks around him, he led Gu Qing and the other two people, and started circling in the dark alleys of Yinyuefang City.
Gu Qing had some doubts that this guy had plans to get rid of him and others, but with his sensitivity, this plan undoubtedly ended in failure.
The stall owner finally came to a very remote and simple house in the outermost area on the south side of Yinyuefang City, and reached out to push open the door.
A mountain of messy debris piled up in front of the house. A few ancient trees with pink petals were surrounded among the debris. As soon as the stall owner opened the door, various strange smells hit his face. As he came, a continuous sound of cracking warnings and restraints was heard in the courtyard.
"Hundreds of early warning restrictions."
Gu Qing glanced at the courtyard with interest.
"Hundreds of early warning restrictions have been arranged in the courtyard, and these early warning restrictions are quite sophisticated... This is somewhat interesting. If you are not proficient in the art of restrictions, just these hundreds of early warning restrictions are enough to make a cultivator A monk in the late stage of refining Qi will spend at least half a month."
The figure of the stall owner paused after walking out of the yard.
He turned around respectfully, clasped his fists and said, "Senior, I do have some of the spiritual materials needed for the second-level high-grade seal painting and the top-grade spiritual talismans. However, I need to give them to my senior first." stone."
"One piece of talisman paper and three middle-grade spiritual stones."
"A bottle of talisman and fifteen pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones."
After the stall owner finished speaking, he lowered his head and said nothing.
Gu Qing could sense that this person was locking onto him, and there should be some formation in this courtyard, and he was a little amused.
If he really wants to kill people and seize treasures, then the formation in this courtyard will never stop him, but he may cause a certain amount of noise. If he is new here and makes trouble in Yinyuefang City, it is unlikely that he will attract the Yin Yuefang City. Master Yuebo took action... This stall owner was indeed cautious enough, and he was not tired of it.
Being careful and cautious is the first important thing in practice.
"How many of these talisman papers and talisman inks do you have?" Gu Qing's eyes darkened, he put his hands behind his hands and looked at the stall owner with his head lowered, and asked in a calm tone.
"Sixteen pieces of this kind of talisman paper that can be used to seal second-level top-grade and top-grade spiritual talismans were obtained from the storage ring of a senior monk who died in a cave of monster beasts. Together with most of the bottle of talismans, Mo! That senior cultivator
The monk's other belongings were taken away by fellow monks, and the younger one only got the talisman paper and talisman ink. "
the stall owner responded.
Gu Qing nodded silently.
He now has thirty-two middle-grade spiritual stones left.
You can buy up to ten talismans.
He only regretted that he had not reserved a fortune in the past, and had just fallen into this predicament. Looking at the stall owner with a look of caution and hope on his face, Gu Qing felt an unspeakable feeling that he had not experienced in many years.
What should he say?
A foundation-building monk can only produce thirty middle-grade spiritual stones!
He wants to live on Changming Island for a long time!
In addition, Gu Qing did not hide his face now. If the monk in front of him knew about it, he, a new foundation-building monk, only had this little net worth. Once word spread, it would probably be looked down upon.
Gu Qing thought for a while and then sent a message to Gu Tingyue: "Ahem... Fellow Taoist Tingyue, do you have thirty-one middle-grade spiritual stones?"
"Thirty-one medium-grade spiritual stones? This..." Gu Tingyue suddenly received a message from Gu Qing and looked over with some doubts. After seeing Gu Qing's solemn expression, she swallowed and responded truthfully, "Forget it. Taking the piece that the senior gave me earlier, this junior has a total of seventy-two middle-grade spiritual stones."
"However, these are all the spiritual stone reserves in the junior clan. Since the junior has the highest cultivation level in the clan, this is why the junior is here."
Gu Qing touched his chin.
He raised his eyes and stared at the stall owner, and said word by word with a sinister look in his eyes: "You haven't sold these two things for a long time, right? Taken together, I will give you fifty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones." ?」
"Fifty middle-grade spiritual stones? Senior! This..."
After more than ten breaths.
Gu Qing and the other three walked out of the courtyard.
With regret on his face and a bit of joy hidden in his eyes, the stall owner sent Gu Qing and the others out, complimented Gu Qing for a while, and then returned to the courtyard and closed the door tightly.
"Fellow Taoist Tingyue, those fifty-five pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones will be returned someday." Gu Qing glanced sideways at Gu Tingyue, who was bitter and resentful.
He didn't have enough spiritual stones, so he asked Gu Tingyue to bring out the spiritual stones. In this way, he pocketed these sixteen pieces of talisman paper that could be used to draw second-level top-grade and top-grade spiritual talismans, and half a bottle of equally valuable talisman ink. middle.
Gu Tingyue forced a smile.
Her smile was somewhat ugly.
Letting a foundation-building monk owe his family fifty-five pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones. Although it would be a matter of honor to tell his family, will this foundation-building monk remember this and transfer the fifty-five pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones to his family? Are the spiritual stones still available? Gu Tingyue didn't hold out much hope for this. After all, their family was too weak.
Not to mention a foundation-building monk.
Even a monk who has reached the Great Perfection realm of Qi Refining can bully their family arbitrarily, but their family can only accept it and cannot put up any decent resistance.
This is the current reality.
Ever since the old guest in the family who had attained the Great Perfection of Qi Refining passed away, the strongest monk in their family was Gu Tingyue, and she had never been good at fighting. She only had the realm of being able to bully and bully those in the middle stage of Qi Refining. , monks in the early stage of Qi refining are really weak compared to other monks in the late stage of Qi refining.
Gu Tingyue followed Gu Qing and An Menghuan numbly, walking in the intricate dark alleys of Yinyuefang City, feeling quite lost. .
She really didn't know how she would be ridiculed by her junior, now the head of their Gu family, after she returned to the family, and it was difficult for her to say anything to refute this time. The family trusted her by placing the spirit stone with her, and now But she took out fifty-five yuan in one go, wiping out most of her family fortune.
An Menghuan's eyes were a little strange. She turned around and looked at Gu Tingyue, who was like a walking corpse, and seemed to have lost her previous moving color.
"Why did the master let this girl from the Gu family cultivate spiritual stones..." An Meng had never heard of the Gu family, a family of monks. She was a maid trained by the Qing family. She had been raised by the Qing family since she was a child and rarely went out.
Accompanying her master to visit Yinyuefang City this time, An Meng also had an eye-opening experience, and she really understood many things that she had never seen before.
In the past, she had never dared to imagine that there were people in this world who were so poorly dressed, with only a few pieces of cloth or a few small iron pieces on their bodies, and that there were people who looked so weird that they could only barely make out their human form.
This is the first time she has gone to sea with the spirit boat, and it is also the first time she has left the small building where the Qing family trained their maids for so long. When the spirit boat docked, she was worried whether she would be taken back by the Qing family. , but when she saw those Qing family monks just glanced at her, then hurriedly withdrew their gaze and left with the other sisters, she was completely relieved.
While An Meng was still walking, she could still think of those sisters from time to time, and their envious eyes when they were taken away by the Qing family monks. She had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. This kind of feeling had never been experienced in her previous life.
She was very proud.
She was prouder than those little sisters and found a master who was in the foundation-building realm. Although she didn't want to admit it and even felt a little despicable, she couldn't deny that she was indeed proud and proud of it.
Sometimes she would even fantasize about what it would be like to meet those little sisters and acquaintances again in the future, which made her heart beat faster.
Gu Qing didn't know what An Menghuan was thinking.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Human nature is what it is.
As the saying goes, wealth does not return to its hometown, just like walking at night in brocade clothes.
Being able to surpass those who are originally in the same class will bring you a sense of satisfaction, or an emotion called vanity.
An Meng is still young, not familiar with worldly affairs, and has little contact with outsiders. She has been trained as a maid by the Qing family since she was a child, so it is normal to have such emotions.
At this time, he was not paying attention to An Menghuan.
His eyes scanned the Yinyuefang City.
In Yinyuefang City, where there are many cave mansions, it is not easy to find shops that rent out cave mansions. After walking for a long time, Gu Qing passed by three shops that rent out cave mansions. Just the price, the cheapest one costs five middle-grade spiritual stones per year. Gu Qing was a little bit speechless. The vast sea in this land of spiritual power was indeed extraordinary.
Now his cultivation has reached the level of foundation building.
Even if there is a stone tablet space, I am afraid that after several retreats, more than ten years will pass. To rent a cave, it will take at least twenty years to start, which is a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, and with these hundred middle-grade spiritual stones, it will take at least twenty years to rent a cave. To taste the spirit stone, he might as well throw it into the spirit pool in the stone tablet space and turn it into spirit liquid.
After all, he practiced mainly in the stone monument space.
In fact, there is no need to live in any cave.
Moreover, he does not refine elixirs or weapons, and has no need for the underground fires, spiritual springs, etc. that are equipped in better caves. If he rents a cave, he can at best raise some demon pets, and by the way, he can raise some demon pets, and take the spiritual energy that comes with the cave. Judging from his experience, the amount of spiritual stones he could earn by growing some spiritual rice in the fields was pitiful.
So, after walking out of the rented shop in Dongfu for the third time.
Gu Qing stopped.
He turned to look at the lost Gu Tingyue.
Gu Qing's gaze finally brought Gu Tingyue back to her senses.
Gu Tingyue forced a bright smile and said: "Senior, do you need to rent a cave? I know the cheapest rental cave in Yinyuefang City. Junior, I will be led by senior."
She specially emphasized the word "cheap".
It's a small vent.
So what if Gu Qing is a foundation-building monk? Is it possible that he can treat himself who just gave him fifty-five middle-grade spiritual stones?
Gu Tingyue said, going to lead the way.
Gu Qing put his hand on Gu Tingyue's shoulder.
He said: "Slow down! This matter is not urgent."
Gu Tingyue turned back stiffly, looking at Gu Qing's cheeks full of black protrusions. Gu Qing's somewhat smiling tone echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but shiver secretly.
This baseless foundation-building senior doesn’t have any other plans, does he? Is it possible that the spirit stone that cheated her is not even going to let go of her people?
Gu Tingyue shrank her shoulders and took a few steps back.
"Senior! Ting Yue has something important to do, so he will go back first..."
"Someone was on the boat earlier and vaguely heard that
Your family is in need of a guest? I am somewhat interested in this matter, please tell me in detail. "Gu Qing interrupted.
