"Boy, the person you took advantage of ran away. Now, how do you plan to repay the money?"
A sinister smile appeared on Mr. Hu's sinister face, and he stared at Gao Lei with his fists clenched, his joints crackling.
"No, don't do it. I have a way."
Gao Lei trembled with fright and said quickly: "Master Hu, I have a way for you to make a small fortune."
"oh?"
Mr. Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me and listen."
"Master Hu, if I can make you a small fortune, can you forgive my debt?"
Gao Lei took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
“Debt forgiveness is impossible.”
Master Hu shook his head, "But if you really have a way to make me a small fortune, I will naturally not miss your share."
"this……"
Gao Lei still wanted to ask for benefits, but was interrupted by Master Hu.
"Boy, don't be ignorant!"
Master Hu raised his fist fiercely again.
He is a villain, fearing power but not being moral. After being so frightened by Master Tiger, Gao Lei dared to pester him and quickly said the so-called "a small fortune".
"Master Hu, the small fortune I talked about happened with Xu Ke just now."
Gao Lei looked like a thief and said to Mr. Tiger: "Just now, when I pulled Xu Ke, I saw him carrying a sack. I deliberately released a trace of spiritual power, explored it, and then..."
"Stop being so pretentious, what's in it? Tell me quickly."
Master Tiger slapped Gao Lei on the head impatiently.
"I don't know what's in it."
Gao Lei shook his head and saw Master Hu raising his fist again, and quickly explained, "Don't hit, don't hit. Although I don't know what's inside, I noticed that the things in the sack can conduct spiritual power, and there is also a slight The fluctuations in spiritual power must contain some kind of spiritual material."
"How can a sack of spiritual materials be worth dozens or hundreds of spiritual stones? Lord Tiger, is this a small fortune?"
"Snapped!"
Huya slapped Gao Lei on the head.
Why are you still fighting? Did I say something wrong? Gao Lei was immediately stunned.
"Not bad! You are quite capable!"
Master Hu looked at Gao Lei with admiration.
It turns out... this slap is a compliment?
------------------
After a long journey, Xu Ke arrived at the market town.
This market town is very small, just a crossroads, with some shops on both sides of the road. Many of these shops sell daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, but there are very few shops selling spiritual supplies.
This is also normal.
After all, the nearby area is full of farming disciples who are in the early stages of Qi training and have limited spending power.
Take Xu Ke himself as an example. He worked hard for half a year and earned twenty-four low-grade spiritual stones. It’s not easy to maintain a living, so where do you get the money to buy spiritual materials?
In the market town, the only store that specializes in practicing supplies is the "Baobao Zhai" opened by the Zongmen General Affairs Hall.
The things in "Baobao Zhai" are quite complete, including elixirs, charms, talisman papers, talisman pens, spiritual ink, jade slips of martial arts, magic volumes, spiritual rice, spiritual tea, spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, spiritual wine... ...Although they are all "low-end products", the variety is very rich.
Xu Ke even saw several magic weapon long swords on the display rack behind the counter.
Boss, are you serious? Are you sure anyone here can afford a magic weapon?
Looking away from the sword, Xu Ke came to the counter carrying the sack.
Behind the counter, there was a skinny old man sitting. This man has gray hair and a goatee. He is sitting on a recliner and reading a book.
Xu Ke glanced at the cover of the book, which had the words "Jade Futon" written on it.
Oh, uncle, at your age, you are still so elegant? Can your body tolerate the food? Are your kidneys okay?
"Ahem!"
Xu Ke stood in front of the counter and coughed a few times.
"Huh? Is something wrong?"
Looking up from the book, the skinny old man glanced at Xu Ke and frowned, as if he was unhappy with Xu Ke interrupting his "reading".
"Boss, do you recycle talismans here?"
Xu Ke put down the sack and asked the skinny old man.
"talisman?"
The skinny old man glanced at the sack that Xu Ke had put down, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He put down his book and walked up, "Of course I'll accept it. As long as the quality is up to standard, I'll accept as much as I can get."
Talisman paper, a consumable for drawing talismans, is in great demand.
After all, among the cultivation skills such as the Alchemy Talisman Array, only the drawing of talismans has the lowest threshold and the least cost. The consumer group of talisman paper is naturally very large.
"That's good."
Xu Ke nodded and took out a bunch of talismans from the sack. More than three thousand talisman papers were piled into a pile like stacks of bricks.
"so much?"
The skinny old man's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Ke up and down for a while, "The origin of these talismans... Well, if you dare to sell them here, the origin must have nothing to do with the sect, so I won't ask. "
As long as he didn't steal the Zongmen Talisman Paper Workshop's warehouse, it doesn't matter where he got it.
"There's no problem with the origin."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "Take a look and give me a price."
"Um."
The skinny old man nodded slightly, reached out to pick up a bunch of talisman paper, and pointed it over with one finger. A ray of spiritual power was released from his fingertips, seeping into the talisman paper to check the quality of the talisman paper.
"The spiritual power runs smoothly, the veins are evenly distributed, and the quality is excellent. It's very good."
After checking one by one, the skinny old man nodded to Xu Ke, "Are these talisman papers left by the elders in your family? This elder of your family must be an old craftsman from the talisman paper workshop. He has such good craftsmanship." !”
"hehe!"
Xu Ke smiled but didn't answer.
"On the market, the price of white talisman paper is ten pieces per spirit stone. The recycling price must be lower than this."
The skinny old man counted the quantity, and then said: "However, the quality of these talisman papers of yours is good. There are a total of 3,230 talisman papers here. I count you three hundred low-grade spiritual stones. How about it?"
"Fine!"
Xu Ke nodded. The retail price is definitely different from the recycling price, which is understandable.
"Do you want spiritual stones, or do you want to buy something?"
The skinny old man asked Xu Ke while putting away the talisman.
"Buy something!"
Xu Ke asked the skinny old man: "Do you have any sword cultivation techniques here?"
"Sword cultivation technique?"
The skinny old man rolled his eyes, "Even if there is one, can you afford it? Your three hundred spirit stones are not even enough."
Well, I haven’t escaped poverty yet.
Xu Ke shook his head helplessly, "Then... what about body training techniques? What about boxing and kicking skills and weapon skills? Do you have these?"
"That's true."
The skinny old man glanced at Xu Ke, "Young man, don't blame me for talking too much. You don't seem to have the talent for body training with your physique, and body training is even more expensive than Qi training. You have to think about it carefully. .”
"Thank you for reminding!"
Xu Ke bowed his hands and said, "I bought the body training method for my own reasons."
"Fine."
The skinny old man waved his hand, turned around and took out a few volumes from the container at the back, "This is the 'Yellow Turban Body Training Technique'. It is an authentic Taoist sect, Zhongzheng and peaceful, with a solid foundation. Even if there is no one to guide you and you practice blindly, you should at least practice it. Immortal.”
"Haha." Xu Ke laughed dryly.
"This is a swordsmanship called 'Zhengfa Sword Technique'."
The skinny old man took out another book, "It is said to be the inheritance of the Legalist sword cultivation. It is known as the 'Sword Technique of Zhengfa, Zhengfa on the spot'. It is very decisive in killing. However, there are only sword moves and no Qi training method of the Legalist. It can only be used as a melee swordsmanship."
"As for this book..."
The skinny old man threw out another book, "This is the 'Mountain Shaking Fist', it's just an ordinary fist and kick skill, it's a bonus."
"Yellow Turban Hercules body training technique, fifty spirit stones. Zhengfa Sword Technique, twenty spirit stones. Mountain Shaking Fist is given for free. A total of seventy low-grade spirit stones. If you think it is suitable, just check out and pay!"
