The city was crowded and lively. This location is a must for low-level monks on their way, so there are a variety of shops and there are many monks setting up street stalls. Li Changsheng only had fifty-two spiritual stones on his body. He sighed and secretly reminded himself that he must save some money.
He walked around and looked carefully at more than a dozen stalls, but he couldn't find the materials he needed to cultivate immortality. When he passed a corner, he suddenly found a shabby sword manual on a stall, which only cost twelve low-level spiritual stones.
Li Changsheng's heart moved, and he raised his hands to the stall owner and said, "Can I have a look at this sword manual?"
The stall owner looked up at him, nodded and said, "Fellow Taoist, please."
Li Changsheng picked up the sword manual and examined it carefully with his spiritual consciousness. He found that the sword manual was called "Golden Sky Sword Art", but there was only half of it, and the difficulty of practicing it was extremely demanding. According to the requirements in the sword manual, the monk needs to condense the spiritual energy into the shape of the sword, making it the prototype of his own magic weapon. Then, through constant cultivation and practice, the invisible sword gradually evolves into something tangible, and it must be a sword.
However, practicing this sword art requires a lot of spiritual energy, and improving one's cultivation also requires a lot of spiritual energy. This means that if you want to practice this sword technique, you need double the spiritual energy. No wonder no one has bought this sword manual, and there is only half of it.
However, Li Changsheng was very interested in this sword manual. He asked the stall owner: "Can it be less?"
The stall owner looked young, a teenager. He whispered to Li Changsheng: "If you sincerely want to buy it, fellow Taoist, you can take it away if you give me ten low-level spiritual stones."
Li Changsheng shook his head and said to the stall owner: "This sword manual is very difficult to practice, and there is only half of it. I can only produce eight low-level spiritual stones at most."
The young stall owner rolled his eyes and said to Li Changsheng: "It's too little. If you buy something else, I can consider less."
Li Changsheng took a look at the young man's stall and found that except for this sword manual, he didn't need anything else. "There's nothing else in your stall that I need," he said.
As a result, the young stall owner immediately took out a dozen books of exercises from his pocket and handed them to Li Changsheng, saying, "You take your time and choose."
Li Changsheng was speechless and suddenly felt like he was being cheated.
When Li Changsheng was flipping through those exercises, he found a book called "Qi Condensation Technique" that was pretty good. This skill can hide one's own cultivation level, and can confuse the enemy at critical moments and make them take it lightly.
He looked at the stall owner and asked, "How many spiritual stones does this book have?"
The young stall owner smiled and said: "This "Qi Condensation Technique" contains twenty low-level spiritual stones."
Li Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a bit expensive!"
The young stall owner hurriedly said: "The point of this book "Qi Condensation Technique" is to be unexpected. It may save your life at a critical moment. It is already very cheap to charge you twenty low-level spiritual stones. I just said that I can give you two copies. It’s cheaper, so the two books total 28 low-level spiritual stones.”
Li Changsheng hesitated for a moment and said to the young stall owner: "I really want it, but I don't have that many spirit stones, so I might as well forget it."
The young stall owner immediately said: "How much can fellow Taoist offer?"
Li Changsheng said: "I only have twenty-five low-level spiritual stones."
The young stall owner chuckled and said, "Deal."
Li Changsheng was stunned and felt more and more that he had been cheated. But he felt that the "Qi Condensation Technique" was useful, and the "Golden Sky Sword Technique" mainly felt cheap. It was only half a book. Anyway, he had no other skills to practice now.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Li Changsheng collected the exercises, went shopping again, and bought two bottles of fifth-grade spirit-gathering pills for twenty yuan of low-level spirit stones. Now there were only seven spiritual stones left, and there was nothing he needed to buy, so he went to the Wanbao Tower that Li Li said to wait for him to meet up.
After about three hours, Li Li finally arrived. Li Changsheng should have gained a lot from seeing the smile on his face. In comparison, Li Li's net worth is much richer than his own.
Li Li greeted Li Changsheng and said, "Senior brother, we will rest here for a day and start again tomorrow. Although it is relatively close to the sect, there are many people here and it is not safe to travel at night."
Li Changsheng nodded and agreed. He also felt that it would be better to rest here for a day, so that he could sort out his gains and prepare for the next training.
The two chatted about their gains in the past few days, and Li Li joked: "I work in the alchemy room, and there are a lot of defective elixirs. Although the efficacy is not high, there are a lot of them. The registered disciples are all grabbing them, and I was the first to get the moon from the near water tower, and I ate a lot to reach the third level of Qi Condensation today. But my senior brother has already reached the fifth level of Qi Condensation, and his immortal fate is really beyond my reach."
Li Changsheng couldn't tell the truth, so he changed the subject carelessly. The two chatted for a long time. Li Changsheng felt that the time was almost up and said, "Junior brother, it's getting late. Let's rest early so that we can leave as early as possible tomorrow."
Li Li has been on the road these days and is a little tired. He said "Okay" and went back to their rooms to rest.
