"Sister Ying~
Chu Chen shouted in his heart for the first time in his mind. He was about to put it into his mouth, but he held it back and held it in his stomach for a while.
It's not that he's arrogant or anything like that. If he could get so much money just by calling "sister", Chu Chen wouldn't mind turning "sister" into a mantra and saying it every day.
However, things are not that simple.
Dragon Girl Qingying's words were half joking and half serious.
It is important for people to know themselves.
After these days of dealings with Long Nu, he and Long Nu had developed a good friendship, but not to the extent of giving away tens of thousands of jade coins and treasures in just one sentence.
To take a step back, even if Long Nu really has a crush on him, the daughter of a dignified Dragon Lord is definitely not a lover, and she would give tens of thousands of jade coins to her all at once.
The treasures that were given tens of thousands of jade coins at once were mostly "political investments" and they were optimistic about Chu Chen's potential.
It’s similar to what Long Jun did back then.
However, now that Chu Chen and Long Nu have a deeper friendship and stronger strength, Long Nu's "funding" conditions will be lowered.
Chu Chen is still awake and has a clear understanding of these doorways.
Just like Master's motto, you can soar in a clear sky, but don't imitate moths.
In fact, spiritual practice is not only practice in a narrow sense such as dynamic work and fine work. Similarly, being a person and doing things is also a kind of practice.
A person should be down-to-earth, act according to one's ability, and not exceed one's consumption capacity.
With Chu Chen's current financial resources, the Kongming Stone Immortal Cave Bracelet is a treasure he cannot afford. It is a desire and a demon that is ready to move in his heart.
If you cannot control your desires and think of taking shortcuts, you will go astray.
At first, it may be just a small hole, but as you develop a habit, the hole will naturally tear and become bigger and bigger.
For a time, Chu Chen's thoughts were clear, his mind was clear and his energy was calm, and his Taoism became more and more profound without realizing it.
"Princess Ying, if you can, please keep the Kongming Stone for me for a few more days, and I will buy it later."
...
Under the angry gaze of the dragon girl Qingying, Chu Chen left the quiet side hall with a smile and rushed to the busiest market in Longgui City, Guangping.
Chu Chen did not accept Qingying's support, but he did not waste the friendship between the two and asked her to help him stay.
Qingying's face was full of reluctance, but she agreed immediately.
"Senior brother, you are so stupid. Just call me sister and you will get countless money. What a great thing."
After leaving the side hall, the little ghost sent a message to Chu Chen with his spiritual consciousness, his tone full of regret:
"If it were me, I would have hugged her thigh and called her sister on the spot."
The skilled little guy gave a professional and critical review, which sounded like he was "angry and unwilling to argue".
Chu Chen smiled hoarsely.
"Then why didn't you come out and call me sister just now? Dragon Girl is very wealthy, and she might reward you with a hundred and eighty sticks of incense at once."
The little devil scratched his head:
"Yeah, why didn't I think of that!"
"Hahahaha~"
Chu Chen was in a good mood now that the matter was settled.
Just because he's temporarily short of money doesn't mean he's incapable of making money.
A secret treasure-hunting technique [Earth Talisman] appeared in the Heart Temple. He only needs to master this technique and go to Longling Mountain to hunt for treasures. Not to mention getting rich overnight or having a windfall from the sky, at least he will gain something every time he enters the mountain.
Not to mention anything else, relying on the [Earth Talisman], just collecting elixirs is a good income.
Thanks to the misty flow of spiritual energy in the heavens, earth, mountains, and rivers, whether it is heaven, earth, treasures, spiritual roots, rare treasures, or ordinary elixirs and herbs nourished by spiritual energy, their birthplaces are highly random.
In the same place, there were no treasures a few days ago, but after a while, treasures are likely to be born.
This is also the reason why countless demons, demons, ghosts and gods flock to the mountains and rivers.
I heard Wang Ping say that with the treasure-hunting rat in his hand, he gained something more or less every time he went into the mountains. The small sums add up to a steady stream of income, which is a very reliable income.
Compared with the salary of the Ghosts and Gods Division, this income is much richer.
As long as Chu Chen refines the [Earth Armor Talisman] and sacrifices a treasure-hunting boy, he will have a fairly stable income in the future, and it is no problem to buy the Kongming Stone.
This was also Chu Chen's greatest confidence in rejecting Long Nu's funding.
He is short of money, but he does not lack the means to make money.
On the eve of the Ghost Festival, the ghost market is already extremely busy.
The city is built on the mountain.
In addition to the major permanent shops, there are stalls everywhere in the streets and alleys.
The stall owners include monsters, ghosts, and even strange creatures with strong demonic auras. Once you enter the market, you feel like you have entered a strange and bizarre world.
Chu Chen can be sure that a few random people on the roadside are most likely wanted criminals from the Ghosts and Gods Division. Catching them will definitely be an act of merit.
The idea is tempting.
However, Chu Chen just thought about it and did not take action.
The biggest fun of visiting the ghost market is picking up missing treasures.
However, Chu Chen is self-aware and picking up leaks is not easy.
He wandered around, not wanting to buy anything, but his main goal was still to find the spiritual wood materials for practicing the [Earth Armor Talisman].
The spiritual wood materials for refining the Earth Armor Talisman are quite extensive and are not limited to a certain type of spiritual wood.
It's similar to the spell [Open Immortal Cave], it can be used with less materials, but the effect of the spell is a bit worse.
Chu Chen didn't plan to save money on the [Earth Talisman].
The treasure-hunting boy is a tool to make money and make a living, so naturally the more amazing his magical powers are, the better.
After wandering around for half an hour, Huang Tian lived up to his expectations and allowed Chu Chen to find a very suitable piece of spiritual wood.
A piece of Netherworld Baoguang wood taken from the heartwood of the root, the whole body shows a dark luster, the brilliance is restrained and unpretentious.
The Netherworld Treasure Light Wood is a tree that grows at the intersection of the underworld and the Yang world. It is ordinary, but after being nourished by the Netherworld Spiritual Qi and turned into a spiritual tree, it has the ability to absorb the treasure light.
Any treasure or divine object will be eclipsed and become ordinary when encountering the Netherworld Treasure Light Wood.
Therefore, Netherworld Baoguang wood is generally made into high-grade treasure boxes, used to hold heavy treasures and hide people's eyes and ears.
Chu Chen wanted to use it to refine the [Earth Armor Talisman], and he also took a fancy to the ability of the spirit wood to absorb precious light.
The [Earth Talisman] refined from the Netherworld Treasure Light Wood was sacrificed to give the treasure-hunting boy even more amazing magical powers.
As soon as he saw "Netherworld Baoguang Wood", Chu Chen made up his mind to buy this.
"Senior, how do you sell Baoguangmu?"
The stall owner is a ghost with a horse face and a human body. He is not a Taoist soldier who practices Tao Qi, but a serious practitioner of the Eight Classics. He is surrounded by ghostly aura and sinister winds. He is not shallow in Taoism. He is estimated to be at least a seventh-level Taoist cultivation level.
The horse-faced ghost cultivator glanced at Chu Chen, but did not speak, but sent a message from his spiritual consciousness:
"One price, fifty thousand jade, no counter-offer."
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment and showed a poor smile.
He is not surprised that the Netherworld Treasure Light Wood is expensive. After all, it is a spiritual material for refining high-grade treasure boxes. Many monks with great supernatural powers can use it, so the price is definitely not low.
However, he didn't give up just yet.
He was not refining a high-level treasure box, but only used it to refine spiritual talismans. Palm-sized spiritual wood was enough. The piece of wood in front of him was too big for him, and he would suffer a loss if he bought it.
"Senior, do you have any smaller ones? I just want a palm-sized piece of spiritual wood. Can you cut some for me?"
"This piece of precious light wood is just for making a treasure box. How can I cut it for you? Come on, don't delay my business."
The horse-faced ghost cultivator waved his hand, leaving no room for negotiation.
Chu Chen was not angry either.
The heartwood of this piece of Baoguang wood is taken out and is extremely complete. It is indeed a bit of a waste to cut it and sell it. It is normal for people to ignore it.
Chu Chen shook his head, feeling quite regretful, and was about to leave to find other suitable spiritual trees.
Suddenly, the stall owner, the horse-faced ghost cultivator, transmitted his spiritual consciousness and said:
"Junior, if you want pieces of Baoguangmu, you can go to the Xiaogui Market outside. I saw a few small ones somewhere before. The price is not expensive."
Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."
The horse-faced ghost cultivator shook his head and sneered:
"There's no need to say thank you. There is no Dragon Lord to look after Xiaogui City. Dragons and snakes are mixed inside, and it is very chaotic. Maybe you will be stared at and killed. When you get to the underworld, don't complain to me. Jie Jie Jie~~”
