Because he was stimulated by Ji Qingling's ninth-level Qi refining and second-level talisman master.
Ji Qingyuan and Ji Hui unanimously decided not to waste time. They went back to practice first, and Ji Qingling was responsible for buying steamed crabs fermented with wine.
When I came to Fangshi, I first went to a few small shops to inquire about the prices of second-level talismans.
Sure enough, you can earn spiritual stones by learning techniques, and the price of this second-level spiritual talisman is three or four times that of the first-level spiritual talisman.
After coming out of the store, the corners of Ji Qingling's mouth kept rising.
She felt like there were spiritual stones floating above her head now.
There was a Treasure Pavilion in Fang City. She bravely went in once and came out quickly. That was not a place she could go.
Now that I know the price of the second-level talisman, I think I can consider changing my equipment.
Standing at the entrance of Zhenbao Pavilion, the door is much wider than other shops, and the door frame is carved with exquisite patterns.
I don’t know what kind of tree it is made of, but the lingering aura carries a unique fragrance.
As soon as I stepped into the store, a pretty female cultivator came out to greet me.
"Fellow Taoist, please come in. What do you need? All kinds of weapons, robes, elixirs, talismans, and formations. Our shop is the best in this city."
Ji Qingling nodded, "I'll just take a look."
"Okay, fellow Taoist, just take a look."
After the woman finished speaking, she stepped aside and stopped following Ji Qingling, which made her feel much more comfortable.
The items placed on the display racks of Zhenbao Pavilion have jade plaques next to them indicating their prices.
Jasper gourd, medium-grade flying magic weapon, ten thousand spiritual stones.
Flying sword, low-grade flying magic weapon, three thousand spirit stones.
Jiuli war drum, mid-grade attack weapon, eight thousand spirit stones.
Panlongbi, a middle-grade defensive spiritual weapon, nine thousand spiritual stones.
Arhat Pearl, top grade attack weapon, 30,000 spirit stones.
…
After passing through the rows, Ji Qingling saw that the cheapest one was the low-grade flying magic weapon, three thousand spirit stones.
Both Ji Linhai and Mo Sanniang are of this type, which is also the most common among monks in the foundation building stage.
She thought the Panlong Wall was suitable. It had a defensive effect similar to that of a robe and only needed to be worn directly on her hand.
His eyes looked at the dragon wall again and again, and the female cultivator just walked over.
"This dragon wall is most suitable for female cultivators to wear. Wearing it on the arm does not affect fellow Taoists from wearing disciple uniforms or robes. Moreover, although it is a middle-grade spiritual weapon, its effect is better than an ordinary middle-grade spiritual weapon in terms of defense. You And look at how it feels.”
The female cultivator took the middle-grade spiritual weapon off the display rack and let Ji Qingling try it out.
Well, it looks like jade but not jade, looks like skin but not leather, and it fits well on the arm.
Ji Qingling was moved, "Is there any discount on that price?"
The female cultivator remained calm-faced, "Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, the items in our Treasure Pavilion are all clearly marked with prices."
That means not even one spirit stone can be missing.
Ji Qingling was a little confused. Nine thousand spirit stones was the number she could just come up with, and it was enough to add up what Ji Qingyuan had given her before coming here.
It was said that she was in the late stage of Qi refining. When she went to the market, she saw suitable equipment that she needed to change and bought it.
These were accumulated when neither she nor Ji Qingyuan needed to directly use spiritual stones to practice.
If you buy it, you will be a pauper again.
The more I looked at it in my hand, the more excited I became. I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take this one."
The female cultivator had a smile on her face and said, "Okay, fellow Taoist, please come this way."
Ji Qingling followed her to the counter to pay the spirit stone.
"Are you collecting magic talismans?"
The shopkeeper took the spiritual stone from her and said, "Fellow Taoist, our store does not accept first-grade spiritual talismans."
…
It is indeed the pride of the big store!
"Do you accept the second-grade ones?"
The shopkeeper took the talisman, and the two golden lines were clearly visible. It was indeed the second grade.
The talisman contained a lot of spiritual energy, and it looked like it was made by an experienced talisman master.
Ji Qingling handed him several second-grade spiritual talismans.
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Taoist, how many of these second-grade spiritual talismans are there?"
"There are only thirty or so cards here. I'll have to wait for my uncle's instructions next time."
The shopkeeper nodded. There were quite a few second-level Talisman Masters in the Taiyi Sect in the foundation-building stage.
It seems that this spiritual power is quite accomplished in making talismans.
As for why a talisman master with such good skills still sells talismans?
Rather than being booked within the sect, this is not what he needs to know.
"This is a powerful talisman with thirty spiritual stones, a bursting talisman with fifty-one, a magical talisman, and a defensive talisman with thirty-five spiritual stones."
"Why does the powerful talisman need to be lower?"
Ji Qingling was a little puzzled. The powerful talisman and the defensive talisman used similar spiritual power, and they were all the same price before.
The Explosive Talisman takes a long time and has more spiritual energy, so it is a bit more expensive.
"Fellow Taoist, most of these second-grade spiritual talismans are used by foundation-building monks. Foundation-building monks mostly focus on spell attacks. This powerful talisman is suitable for use in close combat. If there are fewer people buying it, the price will naturally be lower."
"Okay, then sell these."
After coming out of the Treasure Pavilion, Ji Qingling only had the spiritual stones he had just bought from selling the spiritual talismans.
But you still have to buy the steamed crab with rice wine.
The restaurant's business is still very good, and the steamed crabs in wine are still delicious.
As soon as she returned to her yard, she found a transmission talisman on the door of her house.
It was from Zhou Yan.
"Qing Ling, if I need to see you, I'm here with Junior Sister Ji Hui. Come quickly!"
When she arrived at Ji Hui's place, after hearing what Zhou Yan said she had something to look for, she wanted to turn around and leave.
Ji Hui also had a strange expression on her face.
Zhou Yan came to them for a mission. Because Taoist Yun Zhi asked her to concentrate on her cultivation, she was advised not to go on a mission like hunting monsters.
It is said that there are many opportunities after foundation building. The most important thing now is to build the foundation as soon as possible.
That's true. Many disciples from big families or inner sects rarely do tasks for spiritual stones or contribution points.
Most of them have only one goal in the outer sect, to build the foundation and go to the inner sect. The inner sect is the core of Taiyi Sect!
However, there are still very few disciples like Zhou Yan who have reached the eighth level of Qi refining and have only been out of the mountain gate a few times except for going to Fangshi.
In these years, apart from the people she originally knew from the inner sect, she was only relatively familiar with Ji Qingling.
And the small group from the inner gate didn't like her.
Ji Qingling was willing to go on missions with her at first, but after actually going out once, she realized that she was wrong!
Because the whole process is really speechless.
There is also a foundation-building monk who comes with Zhou Yan. Generally, when outer disciples do tasks, unless the task is difficult and they can recruit people from the inner sect, no foundation-building monk will join them.
The foundation-building monk was arranged by Taoist Yun Zhi to protect Zhou Yan's safety.
It wouldn't matter if the monk was just there to protect them, they would also be a little safer.
Who knew that this so-called protection already included him being responsible for hunting monsters.
After discovering the monster, they watched the whole process. The uncle who was in the foundation building stage eliminated the monster in a few strokes.
They and Zhou Yan only need to deal with the corpse of the monster, and then come back to hand in the task.
It would be fine if there was a collection mission. Zhou Yan was allowed to collect spiritual herbs, but that was limited to this. She would not be allowed to try anything else that might be dangerous.
Ji Qingling felt that she had taken advantage in the past, so now she and Zhou Yan could practice together and go to the martial arts field to compete together.
But we can never do tasks together!
Zhou Yan also knew Ji Qingling's concerns, but Taoist Yun Zhi was too stubborn and there was no room for negotiation.
