Duan Yu was a little hesitant about who to go to next.
In this small group, the only one who is familiar with Wang Budu is Zhao Zhong.
Zhao Chong, as the leader, has not been seen for a few days. I am afraid the situation is not good. Otherwise, with his straightforward and loyal character, he would have come to see him long ago.
Duan Yu bravely walked to Zhao Zhong's residence.
Zhao Zhong is the leader, so the place he lives in is not bad, it is in the center of the city.
The houses here need to be built in a more orderly and beautiful manner, but there are still a lot of weeds growing on the roadside.
On the way, Duan Yu passed a market section.
Many monks gathered here to do business, some opened shops, some set up stalls, some sold rice, some sold animal meat, and of course some sold meat.
"Selling animal meat buns, selling animal meat buns, one or two pieces of meat per bun, after eating it will strengthen the kidneys and strengthen yang."
"Little fellow Taoist, come and have some fun, my sister is very caring."
"Ah, how many of you are there at a time?"
"Fresh Zhujin fruit, you can eat one without getting tired for a few days, a must-have for treasure hunting in the wild."
...
In fact, Duan Yu likes the lively atmosphere very much, but he has to be careful here.
In his mind, this market was a bit like a train station in his previous life. Even if it was managed by someone, it was still full of deceitful people.
On the way, he found that many monks looked ugly.
Most of this ugly appearance is acquired.
For example, a skinny man has blisters covering half of his face and his temples are bulging. Some women have extremely high heads, making their foreheads appear to be extremely long.
This should be caused by practicing different techniques.
In my memory, the cultivation techniques in this world have many side effects, especially for casual practitioners like them, who have to try all kinds of techniques. Some of them can't be helped, and they will continue practicing if they are ruthless.
It can be seen that the casual cultivators do not reject the techniques of Lue Xie Sect.
There are techniques that make you more handsome as you practice without any side effects, but most of them are the treasures of the Millennium Sect, and they are not good enough.
As long as they don't lose control and go crazy, they can bear the price.
Duan Yuxingqing himself has a plug-in for conversion, otherwise he would very likely join the ranks of these ugly people.
When passing by the stall, Duan Yu looked at the price of rice and meat, and felt even heavier.
His rice vat is almost at the bottom.
Forty taels of silver was not a small amount for ordinary people, but it was not enough in Liangshuigou where the mountains were covered with snow.
Even rice here costs five taels of silver per pound, let alone spiritual rice, which is a sky-high price for Duan Yu.
This means that even if he only eats white rice every day, he will not be able to last for two months with this money.
The simple wish of eating rice and bacon every day is about to be shattered after just one day.
Duan Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The monks who have refined their Qi are more likely to starve, but Duan Yu found that his food intake is not small. It is estimated that firstly, he is recovering from a serious injury and needs to supplement nutrition. Secondly, as the Qi refinement deepens, his physique is also changing, and he also needs nutrition. .
Perhaps only when you reach the golden elixir stage will you be able to live without grain.
But that's all the business of the Jindan ancestor, and what does it have to do with a Qi-refining rookie like me.
On the way, he saw a vendor selling secret books.
"Fellow Taoist, buy the secret book, it's guaranteed to be true!"
These secrets look fake at first glance, and there are probably not many genuine ones, let alone good ones.
This is why few people here care about it.
But Duan Yu stopped because he was different from others.
He picked them up and read them one by one.
["Sixteen Ways of Qi Movement Technique" is nothingness and cannot be practiced. ]
["Tian Yuan Sword Art" is void and cannot be practiced. ]
["Yuan Shuang Fist" is nothingness and cannot be practiced. ]
...
Duan Yu estimated that the so-called "nothingness" in the plug-in should be something written randomly. It was a complete fake and couldn't even be called a secret book.
It wasn't until the tenth book that the sea of consciousness found the real one.
[The Art of Making Love with Two Women is true and can be practiced. ]
Duan Yu: "..."
Duan Yu flipped through five more books before he got his first harvest.
[The "Holy Dog Dharma Sacrifice" was identified as fake, but it was actually the "Three Caves Raising Evil Technique". ]
[[Three Holes to Raise Evil Technique]: Use the secret method of flesh and blood to feed dog beasts. When the evil dog matures, the three holes in the dog's body will be like a big mouth, and it will be as thirsty for blood as life. Once hungry, it will be in danger of devouring its owner.
[Sacred Dog Dharma Sacrifice]: Dog beasts raised by immortals can be transformed into magic weapons of gods. When the divine dog is fully grown, it will look up to the sky and roar, killing evil spirits and retreating. ]
[After reading it thoroughly, you can pretend to practice it and change your understanding. ]
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to buy it? Let me talk about the rules first. If you don't buy it, don't break it."
Those who sell secret books naturally have rules for selling secret books. You can only turn to the first few pages. Otherwise, if someone is knowledgeable and memorizes it, then the secret book will be wasted.
As soon as the stall owner saw Duan Yu, he felt that this guy wanted to have sex for nothing.
Duan Yu wanted to transform his practice, so he had to know the whole book, so he replied: "Buy it and take a look."
Duan Yu put down the "Sacred Dog Technique Sacrifice" and continued to flip through other secret books. The result was that they were all "nothingness" mixed with two useless real skills.
Seeing that the stall owner was already angry, Duan Yu pretended to be picky, picked up the book "Sacred Dog Dharma Sacrifice" again, and said, "How can I sell this book?"
The stall owner's expression softened and he said, "This is a book of ten liang."
"What about this one?"
Duan Yu asked, pointing to the empty "Tian Shuang Fist".
"This book costs twelve taels."
Duan Yu didn't say a word.
The stall owner looked at Duan Yu carefully for a while, then coughed and said, "You are also a qi refining person, you know everything about it, this is just for the count."
After realizing that Duan Yu was in the second level of Qi Refining, he knew that this random fabrication would not be able to deceive the other party.
It was no coincidence that the other party could pick out this true book among all the books.
Duan Yu pointed to the "Sacred Dog Dharma Sacrifice" again and said, "How much less can it be?"
The stall owner quickly shook his head and said: "This book was consigned by someone else, and it cost a lot of money."
"Forget it."
Duan Yu stood up and left.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The other party didn't even call him after five steps. It seemed that this bargaining technique was useless.
However, it is also confirmed from the side that this secret book is most likely to be sold on consignment.
The original owner must have realized that there was something wrong with the secret book, so he consigned it anonymously and sold it at a low price.
After all, this is actually the "Three Caves Raising Evil Technique", and who knows what kind of master-eating thing will be cultivated.
But for Duan Yu, this is not a problem.
He can turn evil into treasure.
Duan Yu came back, took out ten taels of silver, and said, "I want this book."
At this time, the stall owner finally smiled and sighed: "I didn't expect that my Taoist friend is very good at bargaining at a young age."
On the surface, he was praising Duan Yu, but in fact, he was praising himself.
No matter how many skills you have, it will be of no use to me.
Duan Yu took the secret book and left.
While the stall owner was placing the secret books that Duan Yu had messed up, he silently sighed: "Haha... There are really people these days who fantasize about raising a magical dog."
"If you can raise it, I will learn from dogs and eat shit."
Not two fake cheat books were sold in one day, and the stall owner was very angry.
Yes, Liangshuigou became famous for more than a day or two. The monks who came died one after another, and the remaining ones became more and more sophisticated.
It’s not easy to lie.
Duan Yuhuai came to Zhao Chong's house with the secret book in hand.
He prayed that the other person was still alive.
This should be the most trustworthy friend in his memory, bar none.
