From Jingzhou to Nanhuang.
Even if everything goes smoothly, it still takes more than half a year.
Therefore, casual cultivators in Jingzhou generally hunt on the edge of Southern Wilderness. This teleportation array connecting Nanhuangfang City is undoubtedly a great boon to the monks in Jingzhou. It is almost expected that within fifty years , Jingzhou will definitely catch up with Luanzhou, the neighboring state city.
Everyone had excited smiles on their faces.
Fu Shiyi frowned:
"Uncle Qi, you said that if the people of this royal family really want the Nanyang monks to enter the Southern Wilderness, wouldn't it be enough to just build a formation that leads directly to the Southern Wilderness? Why do they still waste manpower and material resources to build a transit in our Jingzhou state? Teleportation array?"
Their Jingzhou is the poorest state and city in the country of Yue.
Moreover, a transmission array has a very short transmission distance. Not counting the labor costs of the formation master, the formation diagram alone, as well as the Kongming Stone and Void Breaking Stone to build the formation, would cost millions of spiritual stones.
in this case.
This Nanyang King must have some plans in Jingzhou.
Qi Bo smiled helplessly and said:
"Although King Nanyang is just a prince, judging from the foundation-building monks transmitted over the past few days, their foundation is beyond our imagination. Therefore, anyone can guess what the intentions of King Nanyang are. Anyway, Just help those who want to develop our Fu family."
It seems now.
Things are looking great.
It is indeed a good time for the Fu clan to show their talents.
Qibo introduced some of the situation in the market to Fu Shiyi and others. After Shitou urged him a few times, he said: "The patriarch said that tomorrow the royal family will entertain the foundation-building monks of our four major families, so you guys will start today Let’s take a break for now, if you want to take a walk outside Fangshi, you can.”
Jiufang Street.
Although not as good as those newly developed stores.
But what they sell are all specialties from Jingzhou.
The flow of people is naturally much higher than in the past.
After Qibo went out, almost everyone present could not stay any longer. Only Sanniang and my uncle had wandered outside, and everyone wanted to see something strange outside.
So they went out one after another in twos and threes.
Only Sanniang and Fu Shiyi were left.
"Eleven, you just woke up. You have to go to the banquet tomorrow. It's better to go back to your room and rest today."
Fu Shiyi was in good spirits.
Besides, she also has a lot of things to buy.
It used to be unavailable in Xihefang City, but now that Fang City has expanded, people from Nanyang Prefecture and Nanhuangfang City have opened shops on the streets, so the things they need to buy can be bought.
"Sanniang, let's go out for a walk too."
Fu Shiyi said, took Sanniang's hand and walked out. Sanniang wanted to stop her, but seeing Fu Shiyi's interest, she swallowed her words.
Jiufang Street.
It is almost the original store of the four major families.
Fu Shiyi passed by directly.
After leaving the street, Fu Shiyi stood at the intersection and took a look around. He found that Xihefang City was actually divided into four streets. The other three were Nanyangfang, Nanhuangfang and a street dedicated to casual cultivators setting up stalls.
People from Nanhuangfang City can occupy a street.
Obviously, a lot of money should have been invested in the expansion of Xihefang City.
When standing at the entrance of Nanhuangfang, Fu Shishi paused. She immediately saw the familiar Mitian Building in Fangshi, and wondered whether Daoyou Liu, the eldest disciple of Nanhuang Patriarch, had come.
Back then, their Fu family members were hunted down by Suzaku.
Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Liu led others to stop him.
Otherwise, Fu Zhihong and his party would have died long ago.
Sanniang saw Fu Shiyi stopped and asked, "Eleven, do you want to go in and take a look?"
Fu Shiyi shook his head: "No, let's wait until tomorrow. Let's go to Nanyangfang first."
Today's Nanhuangfang.
It's just a smaller version of Nanhuangfang City.
Fu Shiyi, who had already seen it, was naturally not very interested.
Nanyangfang stands on the central street in the city. Even the stone bricks lying on the ground are made of willow bluestone. If the entire ground was pried open and sold, it would probably fetch a hundred spiritual stones.
It can be seen that the people in the royal family are really wealthy.
Most of the people who come in and out of Nanyangfang are monks from Jingzhou.
"Sanniang, let's go to the Weapon Refining Pavilion first."
Fu Shiyi's current alchemy furnace is only the second level, so she needs to buy a third level alchemy furnace. In addition, she also needs to buy a set of spirit gathering arrays for use in Konggu Peak in the Consciousness Sea Space. A set of defensive formations also needs to be purchased. In Caiyun Valley on the other side of Frost City, although the spiritual fields are all first-level, they are as large as thirty acres, so Fu Shiyi plans to purchase a set of third-level defensive formations.
There are not many monks entering and leaving the Weapon Refining Pavilion.
In fact, a first-level magic weapon also requires dozens of spiritual stones to purchase. At the second level, there are hundreds of spirit stones. For the casual cultivators in Jingzhou, this is obviously an astronomical amount of money.
The third uncle had been saving for decades.
I just purchased a set of magic tools to assist with raining.
It is enough to show what a poor place Jingzhou is.
If it hadn't been for coming out of a secret realm this time, the Fu family would still be a pauper.
The boy who sees guests off.
When he saw Fu Shiyi and the other two coming to the door, he glanced at the jade pendants on their waists and his eyes lit up. He had been hosting Jingzhou casual cultivators here for several days, but his words were worn out and he didn't close a few orders. Later, He finally understood that in a poor place like Jingzhou, only members of the four major families had some financial resources.
The boy greeted him warmly:
"Senior, please come inside. The first floor is full of first-order magic weapons, and the second floor is second-order. Senior, if you are buying it for yourself, you need to go to the third floor with me."
Fu Shi nodded.
I followed the boy directly to the third floor.
At the entrance to the third floor, the waiter apologized and retreated. The fat shopkeeper, who had been napping on the counter with his cheek propped up, narrowed his eyes when he saw a customer coming:
"Oh, I turned out to be a fellow Taoist from the Fu family. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you."
The fat shopkeeper stepped forward with a smile, and after introducing Fu Shiyi and the others, he waved his sleeves and a long bar table appeared next to the counter. He pointed to the log stools beside him and asked Fu Shiyi and the others to sit down. , while starting to make tea, he kept talking:
"Two Taoist friends, my surname is Liu, and Tian is an external steward of the Nanyang Palace. When doing business in our palace, we always do not bully the young and the old, and it is all about fate. After a while, these two Taoist friends always take a fancy to something. Just ask, come on, let’s try our Nanlin tea, a specialty of Nanyang Prefecture.”
Nanlin tea is a third-level spiritual tea tree.
It takes five hundred years to grow, and within fifty years you can pick eight taels of tea leaves.
If it is the first time a monk takes it during the Qi training period, just one cup can improve his skill for ten years. And if a foundation-building monk can take it for decades, there is a certain chance that he can refine the double-pupil technique.
Shopkeeper Liu is very generous.
Fu Shiyi saw that others had brought the tea to him, so he took it and sniffed it gently, but he didn't smell any aroma. When it reached his mouth, there was no taste after drinking it. After drinking a cup of tea, he felt... It's like drinking a glass of water.
After two breaths.
There was a mellow aroma on the coating of her tongue, and the true energy in her body started to circulate even more automatically.
Fu Shiyi was shocked.
She smiled and said to Shopkeeper Liu:
“Great tea, it certainly lives up to its reputation!”
"As long as fellow Taoist likes it, that's fine!"
Shopkeeper Liu seemed extremely happy and gave Fu Shiyi and Sanniang another cup. As the saying goes, people are short-tongued. After a cup of tea, Fu Shiyi went straight to the topic and said:
"Shopkeeper Liu, I came here this time because I actually want to buy a third-level alchemy furnace. I wonder if you can survive here?"
Shopkeeper Liu heard this.
His eyes lit up: "Fellow Daoist Fu, are you a third-level alchemist?"
Fu Shiyi smiled and said nothing.
She just came to buy an alchemy furnace and had no intention of telling others her true identity. Seeing that Fu Shiyi didn't answer, shopkeeper Liu said embarrassedly:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, don't be surprised. In fact, in twelve years' time, our Nanyang Prefecture will hold an alchemist competition once every fifty years. And those of us who are in charge will each have a recommendation quota. I have been friends with you in the past. The third-level alchemist who went out on an adventure was stabbed in the back and died unexpectedly. The other alchemists in Nanyang Prefecture had formed an alliance with other stewards a few years ago. That’s why I asked you so abruptly when I heard that you wanted to buy an alchemy furnace. .”
Alchemy competition?
This was the first time Fu Shiyi had heard of it.
In the past, it was difficult for them to find an alchemist in Jingzhou.
So where does the competition come from?
Fu Shiyi thought for a moment and realized that if shopkeeper Liu wanted to inquire about her, he couldn't hide her identity, so he didn't hide it and told her truthfully:
"Shopkeeper Liu, I am indeed an alchemist, but I am only at the second level. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. I purchased the third-level alchemy furnace just to prepare for advancing to the third level."
But if it takes another twelve years.
She should be able to advance to a third-level alchemist.
Shopkeeper Liu heard this.
The look of disappointment on his face flashed away.
If you want to gain something in the alchemy competition, you must be at least a third-level alchemist. Shopkeeper Liu cheered up, stood up, led the person aside, and shined a light on the empty storage shelf. In an instant, three rows of alchemy furnaces all lit up.
Fu Shiyi glanced at it.
There are twelve tripods in total.
Each cauldron is a third-level alchemy furnace. The Nanyang Palace's Weapon Refining Pavilion is really wealthy.
"Fellow Daoist Fu, the top four were refined by our Wangfu Chunren. He himself is already a fourth-level weapon refiner, so the alchemy furnaces he refined are directly third-level top-grade ones. If it weren't for the materials, Limitations, even if it becomes a magic weapon, it’s not impossible!”
Shopkeeper Liu pointed to the middle floor.
Continued:
"Although these four alchemy furnaces are only third-level middle-grade magic weapons, they are made from our third-grade high-grade Yanliu Stone from Nanyang Prefecture. After adding chalcedony powder and a little refining, they can be upgraded to third-grade alchemy furnaces. The highest-grade magic weapons. The bottom row is the third-grade lower-grade magic weapon, but it is made from Beiming Stone."
Shopkeeper Liu said regretfully:
"Beiming Stone is a fourth-level material. I don't know which prodigal's thing it is. Where can I refine a third-level magic weapon? Hi, in short, these three rows are all good alchemy furnaces. Fellow Daoist Fu, come to us The Weapon Refining Pavilion is right, I wonder which one do you like?"
The nameplate under the alchemy furnace only has the name written on it.
There is no price tag.
Fu Shiyi smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, you should tell me how these three alchemy furnaces are sold, right?"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded and said: "Although the ones in the top row are all third-level high-grade magic weapons, the refining materials are different and the selling prices are also different. Moreover, they are made by pure people, so the minimum cannot be less than 4,800. Bai Ling Stone. The third-level medium-grade magic weapon in the middle, look at the last two, they have added powder."
For the alchemist, the powder at the end is the best.
The most familiar.
Because during the alchemy process, adding a certain amount can help some alchemists who are not skilled in alchemy techniques to increase the chance of condensing elixirs.
"So the two at the back require 4,300 spirit stones, and the two at the front cost the same as the four third-level low-grade magic weapons below, at 4,000 spirit stones."
This alchemy furnace is too expensive!
Fu Shiyi's throat rolled.
Secretly smacking his lips.
Seeing this, Sanniang whispered:
"Don't worry, if you don't have enough spiritual stones, I will add more for you. Just buy the most expensive one."
Sanniang doesn’t make elixirs.
Therefore, I don't know the quality of this alchemy furnace.
Fu Shishi just smiled and said nothing. He checked the alchemy furnaces one by one with his spiritual consciousness. After that, he made up his mind and said to Shopkeeper Liu:
"Shopkeeper Liu, I also want to see a third-level spirit gathering array and a third-level defensive array. I would like to ask you to introduce them."
Shopkeeper Liu’s eyes lit up.
Although Fu Shiyi has not decided which alchemy furnace to buy.
But at least he would buy one. He heard that two sets of formations were needed, and the smile on his face became a little more genuine. He took out a spiritual card from his sleeve, and after inputting enough mana into the spiritual card, a spiritual light flashed on the right side. After a while, the glow faded, and a row of formations suddenly emerged:
"The functions of the third-level spirit gathering array are the same. I won't introduce them here. One set costs 6,300 spirit stones. As for the third-level defensive array, our store has a main defense one and a defense one. Integrated with attack, I don’t know, Fellow Daoist Fu, which one do you want?”
Frost City Caiyun Valley.
The three disciples Fu Shiyi accepted have not yet established their foundations.
She thought for a moment and said, "Tell me, what types of offensive and defensive models are there, and what's the price?"
The smile on Shopkeeper Liu’s face became even brighter:
"For offense and defense, we have the Four Evil Formation, which is a simplified version of the defensive formation used by the seven sects of the ancient Yue Kingdom to resist the devil. In addition, we also have the Sky Wind Crazy Formation, the Escaping Water Wave Formation, and the Beidou Liangyi Formation... .. Among the Poison Cloud Purple Miasma Formation, the Four Evil Formation is the most powerful and operates at full power. Even if a monk at the peak of Foundation Establishment is trapped in it, if he does not understand the formation, there is a 50% chance that he can be killed in the formation. Within, so the price is a little higher, nine thousand six hundred spirit stones."
Fu Shiyi was stunned for a moment.
I almost swallowed my own saliva.
She has never purchased a magic weapon since she started practicing.
Either given by others, or exchanged with the clan's contribution points, this Four Evil Formation actually requires nine thousand six hundred spiritual stones. This is the spiritual stone that their clan has not been able to collect in forty years!
Shopkeeper Liu saw this.
Shao Bi explained:
"Fellow Daoist Fu, this Four Evil Formation consists of seventy-two third-order formation flags alone, as well as four formation disks and a central formation disk. If sold individually, the price would more than double."
But who wants a single formation flag?
Therefore, this is why alchemists are more popular than formation mages.
A set of formations consumes more manpower and material resources, but the price is not high, and it is difficult to sell, at least in a small place like Jingzhou, it is difficult.
