Before dawn, Chen Ping once again flipped through one of the books he had kept for his own use.
---"Preliminary Interpretation of Five Elements Taoism".
This is not a magic book, to be precise, it is a popular science book.
The so-called Five Elements Taoism includes the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
These five elements can derive countless spells.
For example, escape techniques include metal escape, wood escape, water escape, fire escape, and earth escape.
Earth Escape alone contains more than ten escape techniques each with its own merits, which shows that the magical power is very vast.
There is no strong or weak distinction between these five elements, only whether they are suitable for you.
for example.
The earth element is the most practical in daily combat, because earth is the most common. Whether it is earth escape, earth shield, or earth arrow, you can summon it at a moment's notice.
You can even use the power of 'earth' to communicate with fairies and ghosts.
But if you stay in the forest all year round, then the wood system is the most suitable, such as growth, vine driving, forest walking and other related spells.
Unfortunately, most of the Five Elements spells cannot be practiced by monks in the Qi Refining Stage, and those high-level Five Elements spell books cannot be purchased casually in the market.
Only a few basic spells are suitable for mid-stage Qi training.
Chen Ping silently memorized the names of these basic Tao techniques, thinking that he could pay more attention to them and buy them back to practice if he encounters suitable ones.
...
Chengdongfang City.
As usual, Chen Ping did not rush to sell the supplies immediately after arriving at Fangshi. Instead, he first inquired about the selling prices of his peers.
He found that the prices of most resources such as magic weapons, Taoist robes, and books had risen sharply.
The price of a first-level low-grade magical sword was less than 2 mid-grade spiritual stones some time ago, but now it is worth 2.5 mid-grade spiritual stones. Although it is still far from the normal price of "at least 3 mid-grade spiritual stones" distance, but there has also been a significant recovery.
The same is true for the first-level low-grade robes.
This puzzled him.
Isn't it a big mess?
Why did the price increase?
It's unreasonable.
He pretended to be buying a magic weapon, squatted in front of a casual cultivator's stall, and picked out a strange first-level low-grade magic weapon:
"Fellow Taoist, how can I sell this magic weapon?"
The stall owner was in a good mood and said:
"This magic weapon is very popular. This monk hesitated for a long time before selling it. It contains 2 medium-grade spiritual stones and 80 low-grade spiritual stones. Do you want it, fellow Taoist?"
"Why is it so expensive?" Chen Ping frowned:
"Don't lie to me. I've seen something similar a while ago. You can get one medium-grade spiritual stone plus 80 low-grade spiritual stones. Are you not shouting at random prices?"
The stall owner said unconcernedly:
"Fellow Taoist also said that it was a while ago, but things are different now. There is no need to worry about selling the magic weapons now. After a while, the price may have to return to the normal price of previous years. Now it is a bargain. If not We are in urgent need of spiritual stones, who is willing to sell the magic weapon at this time?"
The stall owner looked as if he didn't want to buy it, and he didn't seem to worry about not selling the magic weapon at all.
"How do you say this?" Chen Ping was curious.
The stall owner looked at Chen Ping with an expression of "You don't know this?" and said with a sense of superiority:
"Did you not hear about the second team of the family contacting the Qingyun Sect? It has been spread a few days ago. It is said that Lianyun City will return to normal in a few days."
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
How come the news is said to come out as soon as it comes out?
A few days ago, He Xianxiang said that Qingyun Sect was not allowed to enter. How come the two parties have already contacted each other now?
How many days has it been?
Chen Ping remained calm:
"Where did this news come from?"
"Who knows this? Anyway, it has spread in Fangshi a few days ago and everyone knows it. You haven't been to Fangshi for a while, have you?" The stall owner looked at Chen Ping in confusion.
...It’s been a while since I’ve been to Chengdongfang City.
Chen Ping and the stall owner tried their best to negotiate the price to 2 spiritual stones and 55 low-grade spiritual stones.
In the end, he left because it was too expensive.
I moved to several stalls to inquire about prices.
I found that the messages from all the stalls were extremely consistent.
'It does seem like prices have gone up. '
'Then do I still want to sell it? '
Chen Ping did not rush to make a decision and continued to observe the city for a while.
Just as he was hesitating, he saw a stall owner selling magic weapons in the distance that looked more and more familiar to him...
'Manager Wang? '
'Manager Wang of Ning Mansion? '
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment.
Although Manager Wang changed his appearance at this time.
A person's face can be changed, but his words and deeds will always be imprinted, and the look in his eyes is not so easy to disguise.
Chen Ping has been in Ning Mansion for many years and has had a lot of contact with Manager Wang, so he is very familiar with him.
That is Manager Wang of Ning Mansion.
Manager Wang came out of Ning Mansion?
Or selling goods in Tining Mansion?
With doubts, Chen Ping continued to observe the city with purpose. This time, as expected, he also discovered a disciple who seemed to be a disciple of the Liu family and another disciple of the Ning family.
They all have changing faces and are selling resources such as second-hand magic weapons and Taoist robes.
this...
Chen Ping suddenly figured out a lot of things.
Could it be that the five major families deliberately released wrong information to cover up their silent shipments?
Why is this routine so familiar?
Chunjiang Plumbing Duck Prophet, people from several major families chose to come to Fangshi to ship goods at high prices, which also confirmed that He Xianxiang's words were correct.
What is being circulated in the market is wrong.
If we really contacted the Qingyun Sect, how could the family's goods be sold at this time?
'And those who buy the goods are probably casual cultivators who still have some savings and are ready to make a lot of money. '
'Throughout the ages, the fate of retail investors has never changed. '
Chen Ping was filled with emotion.
He no longer hesitated and took advantage of the opportunity of the 'banker' to create a short-lived 'calf market' and chose to take action decisively.
In batches, changing faces, going back and forth to the house several times.
In the end, it took a whole day to get rid of all 18 long swords, 12 short swords, 3 Taoist robes, 1 first-level low-grade hairpin and 28 books.
A total of 34 medium-grade spiritual stones and 79 low-grade spiritual stones were earned.
Compared with a month ago, I earned about 30% more spiritual stones, which is almost 8 medium-grade spiritual stones.
...How many talisman skins will be made?
Sure enough, the power of capital is the most profitable, and this is always the case.
After Chen Ping finished selling the goods, he continued to browse the market and spent 2 low-grade spiritual stones to buy a book.
——"Small Code for Beginner's Study of Five Elements Taoism".
Unfortunately, apart from this most basic entry-level spell book, I have never found any other Five Elements spells suitable for practicing in the middle stage of Qi training.
Keep this little book.
I plan to study it carefully when I have time.
