Xiaodanshanfang City imposes heavy taxes, and casual cultivators are unwilling to leave. There are two reasons.
One is aura, and the other is safety.
Now that the theft case has emerged, it will definitely make the casual cultivators in the city panic, fearing that the spiritual stones they have worked so hard to accumulate will be lost in one day.
During the Qi refining period, the life expectancy is at most one hundred and fifty years, and most people only live to be one hundred and twenty-three years old. Suffering such a big loss can affect their practice for more than ten years at the least, or directly end their path in the worst case.
"Selling shovels to gold diggers and installing security doors to those who are vulnerable to thieves, so everyone should be willing to spend spirit stones to buy a protective formation, right?"
"After all, the Pure Heart Talisman and the Diamond Talisman can only counterattack, but the Mysterious Formation can prevent it!"
The east wing room where Zhou Yi practiced on weekdays had a tracking array inside. It was a pity that the thieves didn't come because they thought he was too poor, otherwise they would have earned a fortune of spiritual stones in vain.
The core of the lost formation only needs to draw one lost formation flag, and the rest of the formation inscriptions need to be arranged on the spot. The total cost does not exceed one spiritual stone. When the formation is activated, it can disrupt a person's direction and line of sight. Monks who don't know how to break the formation will be turned around if they fall into it.
This formation does not have a strong protective effect, but it is more than enough to warn outsiders from intruding.
"You can't earn much spiritual stone by simply selling formation flags. It's time to meet with Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Zhang at Fengming Tower!"
…
Fengming Tower.
Hearing that there was a way to earn spiritual stones, Senior Brother Liu and Senior Brother Zhang came as promised.
Fast forward twenty years, Senior Brother Liu is over a hundred years old, his gray hair has completely turned into snow, and he is very old.
Eat and drink well before talking about things, this is the same for all immortals and mortals.
After three rounds of drinking.
Zhou Yi took out a Mystic Formation flag and said: "Two senior brothers, this is the way to make money. As long as you set up the Mystic Formation, the cave will no longer be afraid of the spiritual stone thief."
Because the thieves only stole spiritual objects and spiritual stones, they were nicknamed the spiritual stone thieves.
Senior Brother Zhang was surprised that Zhou Yi knew the formation, but monks all have secrets and are most taboo about asking about the inheritance.
"Junior Brother Zhu, we know how to fight and kill, but we don't understand the formation. If you encounter someone who doesn't open their eyes when you sell the formation flag, and they come to see me, I will make them understand the rules."
Senior Brother Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "Junior Brother Zhu is planning to let me buy the formation flag?"
"I will sell it myself. Not to mention all the troubles, the monks will definitely cut the price in every way."
Zhou Yi said: "Senior Brother Liu sets up a sign in the office, and Senior Brother Zhang informs the monks in each cave when patrolling, and the price of the Lost Tracing Formation is fixed, and the business is done!"
Senior Brother Zhang knew that it was easy to make money from this spiritual stone, and he smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, how much can we make from this business?"
Zhou Yi said: "I only sell ten spirit stones for my Lost Tracing Formation. The two senior brothers can sell them as much as they like!"
Senior Brother Zhang silently calculated and said to Senior Brother Liu: "The formation method is mysterious and profound, and besides, it is related to the safety of life. It is not expensive to sell it for fifteen or twenty, right?"
"Fifty!"
Senior Brother Liu's voice was old and slow: "Don't miss this opportunity. The Dongfu Formation is a one-time deal, so you can make a big profit."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly and looked at Senior Brother Zhang. He didn't understand why Senior Brother Liu, who was usually kind-hearted and generous, suddenly became so greedy.
Fifty spiritual stones is what an ordinary monk can harvest in a year. Due to the threat of spiritual stone thieves, he may grit his teeth and sell it, but he will be resentful afterwards.
Could it be that Senior Brother Liu is old and confused because his longevity is about to end?
Senior Brother Liu said: "Junior Brother Zhang can talk to Commander Li of the law enforcement team. I have good relations with the Ling family. With the power of two official disciples, I will directly handle this matter in the name of Fangshi."
Zhou Yi suddenly realized that this was not a private enterprise workshop transformed into an official order!
There are four to five thousand caves in the periphery of Xiaodanshanfang City, with an occupancy rate of 23/10. Although there are few caves in the central area, the occupancy rate is high, and the number of monks is not much different from that in the periphery.
There is an Alchemy Sect formation in the inner area. Not to mention the Lingshi Thief, even the Foundation Establishment Master cannot break it!
A little rough calculation shows that this is a big business worth about 100,000 spiritual stones.
A formal disciple of the Alchemy Sect is also a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. After being matched by Senior Brother Liu, he absolutely cannot refuse such a number of spiritual stones.
"No wonder they all like to take official orders..."
Zhou Yi thought over the telegraph that he must not be the first to do this, just quietly make a fortune, so he took the initiative to lower the price: "Two senior brothers, I am willing to supply the five spirit stones to the formation flag."
“Brother Zhu is very particular!”
Senior Brother Liu praised: "I suffered a lot back then, and then I understood the principle of taking a step back to gain a brighter future."
"Wherever, we can eat as much rice as we have."
Zhou Yi asked curiously: "Senior Brother Liu also has no shortage of spiritual stones. Why are you so anxious today?"
Senior Brother Zhang raised his brows and waited quietly for Senior Brother Liu to explain that gathering all the casual cultivating spiritual stones in the name of formation would inevitably lead to resentment even if Fang Shi was responsible for the bulk of the resentment caused.
"We are getting older, and our life expectancy will only last ten or eight years. It is inevitable that we will die soon, so we need to make arrangements for our death as soon as possible."
Senior Brother Liu explained: "There is a junior in the clan who has the talent of three spiritual roots. It will delay the path like me, so I plan to sell my merits and become a registered disciple!"
Merit is a certificate given by Xiaodanshan to meritorious monks. If you accumulate enough, you can be registered on the door wall and become a registered disciple of the Danding Sect.
The Alchemy Sect does not provide registered disciples with training resources, nor does it have real people or true monarchs to teach them, but they can continue to use their merits to exchange for skills and the inheritance of the Six Arts.
The sources of meritorious deeds are mostly from local tasks, such as chasing down evil heretics, eradicating troublesome monsters, etc.
The meritorious service required to become a registered disciple is an astronomical figure for ordinary monks, so it is natural that a private transaction of meritorious service is born out of surprise. Although the merit values cannot be transferred, the heads of evil cultivators can be bought and sold, and the buyer can directly submit the task.
Xiaodanshan turned a blind eye to this. Those monks who had a large amount of spiritual stones to buy meritorious deeds were either from cultivating families or had special skills.
The Alchemy Sect only offered a quota at no cost, so it would not be a loss no matter what.
Senior Brother Zhang looked envious when he heard this. He was both gifted with the Three Spiritual Roots, so he directly became a registered disciple, and there was hope for him to build a foundation in the future.
"Um."
Brother Liu promised: "This matter is all handled by Pindao. When I die at the end of my life, all causes and effects will naturally dissipate. In the future, when the two Taoist friends meet my tribe, please take care of me."
"Haha, easy to talk about!"
"After joining the Alchemy Sect, I have to call you Senior Brother!"
Zhou Yi and Senior Brother Zhang nodded in agreement. It was a dream to have someone who was willing to stand up to the thunder.
Then we discussed the details, such as the two official disciples who would take the big share, the specific proportion, how much profit the other named disciples involved in the matter would need to share, and urging Zhou Yi to draw the formation flag as soon as possible.
Formation masters are the rarest among the four arts of cultivating immortals, but there are a few in the market. People sell the lost formation flags cheaply, and it is difficult for Xiaodanshan to stop them.
Zhou Yi promised: "I have already taken care of this matter."
The details were carefully considered and finalized, and it was time to celebrate when I saw that I could earn a large amount of spiritual stones.
Senior Brother Liu had a successor, and with a wave of his hand, he was the one to settle the bill this time.
Gray hair does not affect old age and strength. For ordinary people, pear blossoms outweigh begonias, let alone those who are cultivating immortals!
After the Zhouyi Double Cultivation, my magic power improved slightly, but I did not forget the business. I personally visited the house and invited the only four casual cultivator formation masters in Xiaodanshanfang City.
Arrays, weapons, elixirs, and talismans. Among the four arts, talismans have the most, alchemy weapons are the richest, and formations are the most difficult!
Without the guidance of a master, a formation master can only become an entry-level master after decades of study. The results are far less effective than using talismans and seals. Earning spiritual stones is not as good as refining alchemy and refining weapons. He only has a distinguished reputation in vain.
The four formation masters heard that they could earn a lot of spiritual stones. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, they did not refuse the party invitation.
