When Chen Xuejiao saw that Zhuzhu insisted on living outside, she didn't say anything more. Before leaving, she gave Zhuzhu fifty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones as a reward for saving her life.
Zhuzhu was very happy to get the spiritual stone that she had longed for. She bid farewell to Chen Xuejiao and stayed in the inn temporarily after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Since it was still nearly a year before we left the capital to go to Wujiling Mountain, staying in an inn and living in vain during this period was not a long-term solution.
In addition, the daily cost of the inn is not low. Although fifty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones is a lot, the consumption in the capital is not low. She and Huahua may spend it all quickly.
So not only did she need to find a cheap and quiet little courtyard to rent, which would make it easier to release Huahua from the demon pet bag, but she also needed to find a way to make money.
The small courtyard was quickly found. Although there were only two rooms, it was enough for Zhuzhu.
The main reason is that Huahua has protested several times in the demon pet bag, and today I can finally let it out to have fun.
Moreover, renting a courtyard is much cheaper than staying in an inn. Zhuzhu paid the rent for a year for only five middle-grade spiritual stones.
The inn needs one medium-grade spiritual stone every month, so it can save several spiritual stones.
The next step is to find out about Ni Sitao while trying to make money.
No matter whether she searched through the Prime Minister's Mansion or inquired on her own, there was no news. Ni Sitao may not have been to the capital city and several nearby cities. Zhuzhu searched in vain and had to give up. I hope she is safe!
It's just that the Zhu family, Zhu Zhu's expression turned cold. Now she only has the seventh level of Qi refining, and has no ability to take revenge. She will return to Shuiyue City to take revenge when her cultivation reaches the foundation building stage.
As a monk, Zhuzhu knows almost nothing except cultivation, but there is one thing that no one else has, and that is hair growth and mutated plants.
After being chased by Taoist Priest Xuanji last time and accidentally comprehending the first level of "All Creatures", she gained the ability to fabricate plant mutations out of thin air. She used the energy of life in her body to turn the wood spiritual power in her body into mutated Liu. The branch shattered Taoist Master Xuanji's magical attack.
Plants can also be used to induce growth and mutation, changing their varieties.
Of course, with her current understanding, she can only activate and mutate ordinary plants, allowing them to grow, mature and mutate in a short period of time. Either they have offensive properties, or they can mutate ordinary plants into sources. A spiritual plant that constantly emits weak spiritual energy.
Peonies are loved by everyone from the rich and powerful to the common people in the capital, especially the rare varieties of spiritual peonies that contain spiritual energy and have been sold at sky-high prices.
A few days ago, Zhuzhu went to the peony flower garden to visit. It was said that one of those precious varieties containing spiritual energy could be sold for ten yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones, which was far more than the value of the spiritual peonies themselves. However, they were still expensive but not marketable.
Zhuzhu specially bought a hundred pots of common varieties of peonies and brought them back with mutations.
She decided to only sell ten pots every time she went out, and only one or two mutated pots in each ten pots would be good, and sell them every few days to maintain her and Huahua's cultivation and flower use.
With her current level of cultivation, if she could find one or two spiritual peonies, even if they were rare, they wouldn't be too eye-catching. If there were too many, it would arouse suspicion.
Moreover, there are too many changes. Not only is the spirit peony worthless, but it will also attract ill-intentioned people to take advantage of the peony, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
Soon she succeeded in mutating two spiritual peonies that contained weak spiritual energy and could bloom all year round.
Moreover, the successfully mutated peonies are not only more vivid in color, but the flowers are also larger than before, with richer layers, and a refreshing floral fragrance.
After a while, many butterflies were flying on it, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Zhuzhu put ten pots of peonies into her storage bag, told Huahua to take care of her home, and then went to Free Square Market to sell peonies.
At the same time, in a small courtyard two streets away from her, a tall and strong young man was giving medicine to a bedridden elder.
"Fourth Uncle, didn't I tell you that I am already a sixth-level Qi Refining monk, and I have also learned spells. I can go to the mountains to fight low-level monsters, and I can also serve as a guard for relatives and officials, so I don't have to worry about being ineffective. Shi Huayong, why are you still secretly spending your energy on making the magic talisman? You see, your energy has been severely damaged this time, and your cultivation has regressed to the middle stage of foundation building."
"Ahem... I know my illness myself. Don't worry, I won't die. You are only at the sixth level of Qi refining, and your cultivation and spells are still very weak. You cannot go out of the city and into the mountains alone, and you are not allowed to be a servant in other people's homes. These magic talismans If you sell it, you will have the spirit stone flower to use, and we, the Ni family, must never serve others."
Ni Xinzhi, who was lying on the bed, was thinner than he was more than two years ago, but his eyes were still bright. He stared at Ni Siqi and continued: "When we go to Wujiling Mountain next year, I heard that Tianyun Sect will be widely opened. The sect accepts disciples, you can try it, if you can enter the sect, your achievements in the future will definitely not be inferior to that of your fourth uncle."
"What if I join the sect and become my fourth uncle?" Ni Siqi was unwilling to leave Ni Xinzhi, whose condition was getting worse.
If the fourth uncle hadn't led them to escape from Lingfeng City, how could he have damaged his foundation and caused his cultivation to retreat step by step.
"Silly boy, my fourth uncle is such an adult and can't take care of himself. If you can join the Tianyun Sect, my fourth uncle can return home in fine clothes. Then I can walk around in Lingfeng City. No one dares to bully me..."
Before Ni Xinzhi finished speaking, his throat felt extremely itchy, and he couldn't help but cough violently.
During the catastrophe of Lingfeng City more than two years ago, he forcibly absorbed the spiritual energy of two middle-grade spiritual stones regardless of his physical endurance. From the late stage of foundation building to the Great Perfection state, he damaged the foundation.
Later, he carried out several powerful magical attacks one after another, and reversed his spiritual power and almost self-destructed. His foundation became more and more shaky, and his dantian and spiritual veins were seriously damaged.
If you have spiritual stones and buy a fourth-grade Peiyuan Pill and a third-grade Strengthening Pill and take them at the same time, you can repair your foundation and slowly recover.
However, the prices of these two pills were astronomical to the Ni family uncle and nephew. Even when Ni Xinzhi was still the city lord, he could not afford the Peiyuan Pill.
So I can only take some first-grade tonic pills and second-grade rejuvenating pills, which are better than nothing.
Even these two ordinary healing elixirs require a lot of spiritual stones.
For the uncle and nephew who escaped with nothing, they not only had to find a way to gain a foothold in the capital city, but they also had to work hard to earn spiritual stones to buy elixirs and for cultivation.
Ni Xinzhi took on the burden of supporting his family and began to learn how to make talismans with his injured body.
Fortunately, he was already a first-level spiritual talisman master before, but as the city lord, he was busy with official duties and had no time to continue studying.
Now that he has time, and with his good understanding, it took him two years to become a third-level spiritual talisman master. At the same time, he spent too much energy and effort studying spiritual talismans, and his physical foundation became increasingly unstable, and his cultivation gradually regressed to the level of foundation building. mid-term.
"Fourth Uncle, you also know that my qualifications are average. It's hard to say whether I can be selected."
Ni Siqi is self-aware. Like Ni Sitao, he is a monk with three spiritual roots.
Among ordinary monks, he may not be the last one, but in a sect full of geniuses, he is probably the last one.
"Don't belittle yourself. I heard that the Tianyun Sect's acceptance of disciples not only depends on spiritual qualifications, but also on character, understanding, and state of mind."
After Ni Xinzhi drank the medicine, he took out the talisman he had painstakingly drawn over the past few days and handed it to Ni Siqi.
"We haven't set up a stall for several days. I guess those old customers who often come to buy magic talismans should be anxious. Here are ten first-grade magic talismans, five second-grade spiritual talismans and one third-grade spiritual talisman. You can go to the market today to set up a stall. Well, don’t let old customers lose.”
"Then Fourth Uncle, have a good rest at home and don't make any more talismans."
Ni Siqi took the talisman and headed to Free Square City in the west of the city.
