Qingfeng Island.
Zhang Liang returns and everything is safe.
Under normal circumstances, no one comes to my small shabby house.
Outside, it was getting light.
When Zhang Liang went out, he found that half of the spiritual insects in his pond were missing.
"Hey! Did someone steal my spirit worm?"
"It shouldn't be! Who is still short of these spiritual insects?"
Almost every household of fishermen and farmers raises spiritual insects, because when hunting at sea, spiritual insects must be hung on hooks and ropes as bait.
Generally, a trip to the sea requires hundreds of spiritual insects, so breeding has become a habit.
There are mostly three types of spiritual insects they can afford to raise, namely sea cockroaches, sword water fleas, and swallow-tailed horseshoe crabs.
There is no distinction between the three types of spiritual insects. Sea cockroaches are all-eating types and may take a bite from any fish. The sword water flea is an active type, likes to jump, and can toss in the sea. It usually attracts ferocious and aggressive beasts. The swallow-tailed horseshoe crab is beautiful, bright yellow, and the most eye-catching in the sea, but its shell is too thick and the taste is not good.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Liang raised sea cockroaches. He didn't want to attract aggressive beasts every time he went to sea, but the horseshoe crab ate too much, so he abandoned it.
now.
Zhang Liang lowered his head and inspected the pond, and finally found a green sea cockroach in the pond.
"Hey! Jade cockroach, a first-order spiritual insect?"
Zhang Liang was a little surprised. He looked around and saw the corpses of other sea cockroaches everywhere, and he suddenly understood. The co-author was not at home for a long time without feeding, so these sea cockroaches began to kill each other, and finally a first-order jasper cockroach was born?
However, although it is a first-order spiritual insect, it is only a low-grade first-order insect. Others are occasionally raised. But the quantity is too small, it has no climate, and it is of little use.
If you get it from the Lingxian Tower and sell it, you can sell it for the price of one spirit stone, so usually everyone chooses to sell it as an extra income.
Zhang Liang is lacking for everything now. He is thinking that he is at the Blackfish Coral Reef and has to go to the Sea Locust Sea area. The jade cockroach might be of some use if he keeps it.
Thinking that this thing might be useful, Zhang Liang paid some attention to spiritual insect breeding for the first time, so he fed some ordinary fish dry feed in the pond, thinking that he would observe it later.
As a result, he suddenly discovered that the jasper cockroach did not eat it.
"Huh? You don't like ordinary dried fish?"
Zhang Liang couldn't help but smile, then looked around and threw some flesh and blood of first-level mid-level ferocious beasts into the pool.
Sure enough, this time the jade cockroach moved and got directly into the flesh.
"Zhang Liang, what are you doing?"
Zhang Liang was about to observe when he heard a woman's voice not far away. It was his neighbor Wang Min.
Zhang Liang stood up, smiled casually and said, "Sister Min! I haven't put any food in the past two days, and I found that there are fewer spiritual insects in the pond."
Wang Min: "Without food, the spirit insects will naturally kill each other, which is a little bit normal. A first-order spirit insect was born in my pond two days ago, and I sold two spirit stones."
"Oh? The price has increased?"
Wang Min nodded: "Since those sect monks came, the prices of many basic things have begun to drop. On the contrary, the prices of things such as spiritual insects that I usually don't care about have increased. If you also raise first-level spiritual insects, you can also take advantage of the opportunity. Sell it at a high price.”
"Okay. Thank you Sister Min for reminding me."
Wang Min's words gave Zhang Liang several signals.
First of all, the sect monks have arrived.
Secondly, prices began to change.
The increase in the price of spiritual insects is by no means an accident. It only shows that the value of spiritual insects is already higher than that of a previous spiritual stone.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang felt that maybe it was necessary for him to buy a spirit beast bag. If he could cultivate more first-level spirit insects, the value might be higher.
Wang Min paused and suddenly said: "Zhang Liang, I have something to tell you. My house has been rented to a monk from the sect. I will not live here for the next three years. If you see me in the future, The monks of the sect must be careful when dealing with them."
"Um?"
Zhang Liang was slightly startled: "Rent?"
Wang Min sighed slightly: "Rent it! 150 spirit stones in three years, why not rent it? The sect monks have high requirements, and we are the only original residents of Shili Linghu Lake on Qingfeng Island who built on the edge of the first-order spiritual veins, so Most of the monks in the sect have taken a fancy to this place. Currently, half of the fishermen and farmers in Shililing Lake have rented out their houses. I think there are people coming to see your house, but you seem to be very busy recently, so I didn't come across them. "
"Ah! Yes, I'm quite busy and I don't come back often. Hey, Sister Min, where would you live if you don't live in Shili Linghu?"
"We people, aren't we casual? Qingfeng Island is so big, can't we just build a house along the coast? Anyway, there are not many people managing Qingfeng Island now."
"Indeed, congratulations to Sister Min."
Zhang Liang thinks that if you say that, then I also want to rent it. Maybe I can stay for two more days and wait to see if anyone comes to rent it.
…
Qingfengxianfang.
When Zhang Liang came here again, he was stunned for a moment. Is this still the original Qingfeng Xianfang?
In the past, there were only dozens of merchants in Qingfeng Xianfang, and fishermen and farmers generally would not come to the market unless necessary. And now...the scale of merchants has expanded dozens of times, not counting the stalls set up along the street.
At this moment, the Immortal Square was crowded with people, and at a casual estimate there were at least five or six hundred people.
Zhang Liang once wondered if he had gone to the wrong place.
It has to be said that Zhang Liang felt vitality for the first time in Qingfeng Xianfang.
Although most of the people here are fishermen and farmers, there are occasionally young men and women wearing blue-grey robes among the crowd. These people have outstanding temperament and can be distinguished at a glance. When fishermen and farmers meet head-on, they have to stay away for fear of bumping into each other.
But what surprised Zhang Liang was that these disciples of the sect, who were expected to be superior, actually opened a stall here and even hawked food along the street. This made him look up to the sect and suddenly dropped.
For example, someone is shouting at this moment.
"Spirit lobster, the spirit lobster we just hunted. Fellow Taoists who haven't hunted it yet can come and have a look. The price is favorable."
"Tingshui Secret Technique is sold cheaply. It only costs ten spiritual stones. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated."
"There are only three rolls of deep-sea white silk. Some are fast, some are slow, some are slow. The stall will be closed when it is sold out..."
"..."
Zhang Liang came to the stall and saw that it was filled with jade slips. He was about to ask when he heard the disciple of the sect said: "Fellow Taoist, would you like a copy of the Secret Technique of Listening to Water? This method is the only one on Qingfeng Island. Not even Lingxian Tower."
Zhang Liang asked, is this awesomeness a bit too much?
The stall owner seemed to sense Zhang Liang's suspicion and couldn't help but said: "If you don't believe it, fellow Taoist, just buy it and take a look at it. This technique coincides with the rhythm and allows you to listen to various sounds under the sea."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "It's a pity that I'm too poor. Forget it, I'll take a look again."
Things that can be bought with ten spirit stones are not available in Lingxian Tower. Maybe they don’t want to include them at all, right?
"No! Fellow Taoist, I think you are destined to me, how about I give you a 20% discount?"
"Feel sorry."
Zhang Liang hurriedly left the stall. It was said that the disciples of the sect could not afford to be offended, and if they were resented if they did not buy something, then the gain would outweigh the loss.
Along the short journey, Zhang Liang saw people selling tortoise shell materials, magic weapons, drawing talismans, demonstrating formations, and selling spiritual insects. He was really dazzled by what he saw.
Sure enough, the arrival of the sect brought vitality to Qingfeng Island and also brought hope to the fishermen and farmers.
Zhang Liang did not stay at these stalls, but turned around and entered Lingxian Tower.
Nowadays, Lingxian Tower has one more floor than before. After asking around, it is said that the second floor is where high-grade magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, formations, and talismans are sold. As the grade increases, the price will naturally increase.
For example, the Green Sword Talisman has been reduced to two spiritual stones per bottle, the spiritual liquid has been reduced to seven spiritual stones per bottle, and the price of the storage bag has been directly discounted by half. Almost everything that was originally a first-level mid- to low-grade product has been discounted a lot.
Zhang Liang sold a spiritual lobster, and the price was suddenly suppressed to 18 spiritual stones per piece, which made Zhang Liang stunned.
After much hesitation, Zhang Liang did not go to the second floor.
Even though he was an aboriginal fisherman and farmer, he could afford to buy things on the second floor, but if he really spent a lot of money, it was uncertain where the money came from, whether he would attract attention, and whether he would be suspected of murdering people and grabbing treasures.
On the other hand, the stalls outside sell a mess, but you can find something useful.
As for the second floor of Lingxian Building, it won't be too late in a few months, and it is reasonable in the eyes of others, thinking that you are the spiritual stone that you have worked hard to save.
on the street.
Zhang Liang searched for a while and came to a stall selling spiritual insect breeding. This stall was relatively remote and not many people stopped there.
The person setting up the stall was a female cultivator from the sect. Her strength was unclear, but she was probably stronger than herself.
There are some low-level spiritual insects on the stall, as well as related jade slips of martial arts.
Seeing Zhang Liang coming over, the sect's female cultivator's eyes lit up: "Does this fellow Taoist want to know the magical method of controlling insects or the method of cultivating spiritual insects?"
Zhang Liang: "What's the difference between the two?"
The woman said: "Some spiritual insects can only be used as bait, while some spiritual insects can become fighting partners. If you just want to cultivate fish bait, then you can buy the cultivation method. If you want to know more about the method of controlling spiritual insects, you can , it is recommended that Taoist friends first purchase "Insect Classic", "Hundred Methods of Raising Insects" and "Art of Controlling Insects". If you buy these three items separately, each requires 50 spiritual stones. If you buy them together, you can get a 20% discount and only need 120 spiritual stones. Just a spiritual stone."
Zhang Liang immediately took a step back with a wry smile on his face: "It's so expensive, Taoist friend, maybe it's cheaper? Although I have intentions, I'm really short of money..."
The female cultivator's eyes suddenly darkened: "I have already given you the cheapest price. Lingxian Tower is right across the street. You can go and ask. Adding these three items together, Lingxian Tower costs 150 spiritual stones. Counteroffer. Or, fellow Taoist, you can buy one separately first?"
Zhang Liang was a little surprised: "Why would Lingxian Tower allow fellow Taoists to sell the same thing here?"
The female cultivator said casually: "Lingxian Pavilion cannot be used exclusively by one family in cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. Moreover, since they are all from their own sect, they must leave some space for the people below. Moreover, every time I sell a piece, I also have to pay tribute to Lingxian. The building pays a certain fee, but not everything is pocketed.”
Zhang Liang understood, thought for a while and then said: "Fellow Taoist, in addition to spiritual stones, can I exchange them for spiritual lobsters?"
The female cultivator's eyes lit up: "Of course, according to the current price, the price of a first-grade low-grade product is 18 spiritual stones. If it is a medium-grade product, the price is 58 spiritual stones."
Although the price of soul lobster has seriously shrunk, there is no doubt that this is the best-selling item.
Zhang Liang: "Are there any spirit animal bags for sale?"
"Of course there is, a bag of spirit beasts the size of a square, priced at 10 spirit stones."
"Okay, I bought it, and I want two more square-sized spirit animal bags."
