"right."
After hearing what Lao Qi said, Zhang Yao said calmly:
"There is a magic weapon. It's a bit troublesome to sell it on the surface. It's best to sell it through the market."
The best way to cover up a secret is often to use another plausible secret.
Lao Qi couldn't report him anyway, because Qingyun Pavilion basically didn't care about such nonsense, and he wouldn't get any benefit from it. It would only make Zhang Yao fall out with him.
"hey-hey……"
Hearing Zhang Yao's admission, Lao Qi chuckled, with an expression that said:
"I knew you couldn't be so honest."
"Is the secret revealed now?"
Competition in the world of immortal cultivation in Weiguo is fierce, and conflicts often break out among major forces in order to compete for resources.
Qingyunfang City's annual salary is three times that of Lingnong. The price is to act as a thug for the two major families. They often have to fight with each other and have a high casualty rate.
In this kind of environment: if you can practice casual cultivation in the early stage of Qi refining without any support, you can practice all the way to the middle stage of Qi refining. It can be said that there is no good fault.
"I made you laugh, Lao Qi."
Zhang Yao smiled and said with emotion:
"It was difficult to practice cultivation at the beginning. For the scraps that others missed, I often had to fight with my fellow monks and risk my life."
"It wasn't until I reached the middle stage of Qi refining that I really didn't want to live this kind of life anymore, so I came to Fangshi to be a spiritual farmer, just for stability."
When Lao Qi heard this, he showed a hint of deep understanding:
"Yes, the life of a casual cultivator is too hard. It was the same when I was in Dali..."
He rambled on for a few words, reminiscing about the past, and Zhang Yao listened patiently.
"correct."
Lao Qi came back to his senses, patted his head and said:
"I almost forgot. Since you want to go to the market, I'll give you this token."
As he spoke, he took out a dark metal talisman from his storage bag and threw it to Zhang Yao.
"this……"
Zhang Yao showed a hint of gratitude, took the black command talisman, and said:
"Lao Qi, thank you very much."
"You're welcome."
Lao Qi waved his hand and said casually:
"I still have two pieces of this. It's no use holding more. It's just for you."
As he spoke, he detailed the opening date of the market and the method of entering.
After Zhang Yao noted it down carefully, he thanked Lao Qi again, played several games of chess with Lao Qi, and sent him away.
After Lao Qi left, Zhang Yao took out the black talisman, held it in his hand and played with it, thinking to himself:
"This market is a treasure to me."
He learned from Lao Qi that there was a bounty list in the market. Most of them were about spying on intelligence and hiring murderers, but there were also some normal bounties.
The customers in the market are all powerful Qi-refining monks who are spread across all the major forces in the Wei Kingdom. He can definitely issue a reward to buy the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Jing", which is much more efficient than searching for it himself.
"In addition to the Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra, you can also collect evil secrets."
Zhang Yao's thoughts were racing:
Evil Taoist skills are those that find new paths and take shortcuts. They often advance quickly and break through easily. Moreover, the spells are sinister and vicious, and they are very powerful against the enemy. Everyone is afraid of them.
The only disadvantage is that it is easy to become possessed by cultivating evil cultivators. It can be said that only one cultivator of evil cultivators can end well.
In the world of immortal cultivation in hundreds of countries in the Central Plains, evil monks also account for a large proportion. Although they are not favored by orthodox monks, they are still stronger than the demonic monks that everyone shouts about.
"The evil methods have too many disadvantages, and it is impossible for me to practice them."
"But the evil secret method is a good thing for me..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.
He has two great talents, and he doesn't care about ordinary obsessions. As long as it doesn't cause him to become insane or dementia, no matter how serious the sequelae are to his body, he can make up for it afterwards.
Therefore, he should be able to use some evil secret techniques that burn essence, energy, blood, or even shorten his lifespan without restraint, and can be used as a powerful trump card to greatly enhance his combat power.
"We need to go to this market as soon as possible and post a reward."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but clenched the black metal talisman in his hand.
…………
Two months later.
When the market opened, Zhang Yao changed his appearance and went shopping around, announcing a reward for buying the secret method of evil and the "Wanhuadu Zhenzhen Jing".
After the bounty was announced, he patiently waited for the news. At the same time, he slowed down his cultivation speed and put more energy into figuring out the spiritual patterns, so as to have another way to make money as soon as possible.
Half a year later:
After Zhang Yao fully mastered and integrated the "Detailed Explanation of Basic Spirit Patterns", he chose to become a Talisman Master.
Among the three paths of formation, talisman, and weapon refining, the weapon refiner has the highest status, but learning weapon refining is too expensive and requires a lot of money to support it.
The cost of learning to make talismans is minimal.
Even so, Zhang Yao almost lost his money in the first two or three years. Not only did he invest all the dozens of spiritual stones he earned as a spiritual farmer, but he also borrowed hundreds of spiritual stones from Lao Qi.
Fortunately, he has an attribute panel for visual reference, and he has good talent in this area. After experiencing many failures, he gradually figured out a lot of tricks, his success rate increased all the way, and he finally became a qualified Talisman Master. , can make money by relying on the craft of making talismans.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed since Zhang Yao joined Qingyunfang City.
In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Yao came to his own stall on North Street early, set up the stall, placed dozens of talismans, and waited for customers to come.
Several years have passed, and Zhang Yao is now well-known in Qingyunfang City. He specializes in selling some low- and medium-level talismans and has a good reputation.
"Master Zhang Fu, morning."
"Lao Li is here, just take a look."
After waiting for a while, an old customer came to the door, and Zhang Yao greeted him skillfully.
Among the markets, the most popular one is naturally the first-level high-level spiritual talisman. Its effect is equivalent to the spell in the later stage of Qi refining. It is also convenient and quick, and does not require the consumption of one's own mana.
For high-level spiritual talismans, monks in the middle stage of Qi refining need them, and monks in the later stage must also prepare some. Therefore, the supply exceeds the demand and there is no worry about sales.
It's just that due to his cultivation level, Zhang Yao is currently unable to create a first-level high-level spiritual talisman. Although the success rate of low-level and medium-level spiritual talismans is not low, he does not earn many spiritual stones.
"Why……"
After working hard for two hours, he sold more than a dozen talismans. Zhang Yao sighed slightly and could only close the stall and prepare to go back.
To rent a stall in North Street, you have to pay one spiritual stone a month. After a month of hard work, he can often only earn a difference of four or five spiritual stones.
"There are too many people selling ordinary talismans, and the competition is fierce. If you can't refine high-level talismans, you can only earn a little hard money."
"The blank talisman paper and spiritual sand are almost gone. We have to stock up in two days."
"It's still the most profitable to open a platform. In Qingyunfang City, just the commission is enough to make money every day..."
Zhang Yao felt helpless, but he had no choice.
This was the first time in his life that he had experienced this feeling of poverty, and it was particularly unforgettable.
"Master Zhang Fu!"
"Lao Zhang is back."
"Old Zhang, thank you for helping me take care of the spiritual field two days ago..."
Returning to the west residential area, many acquaintances greeted him and came up to chat with him along the way, and Zhang Yao responded to them one by one.
After living in Qingyunfang City for seven or eight years, Zhang Yao has gradually integrated into the collective of Linggong in Qingyunfang City. No one has deliberately made things difficult for him, and the overall atmosphere is still very good.
"Um……"
After returning to his home, Zhang Yao raised his head and glanced at the sky, with a hint of expectation in his heart:
"Tonight is the day when the market opens again."
"I hope there will be new gains this time..."
