Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44 Encounter (Please recommend)]

After hiding for a while.

Fang Xi felt that Situ Qingqing didn’t pay much attention to him, so he finally found an opportunity, disguised himself as a casual cultivator, and entered the Qingzhu Mountain Market.

This time, he was wearing a dark green robe and a conical hat. He had a burly figure and looked menacing.

‘Last time I was only in the early stages of Qi training, and even the waiter looked down on me.’

“This time it’s much better. My cultivation level is in the middle stage of Qi Refining, which is not bad…”

When passing by Baiqiao Tower, Fang Xi didn’t even move his eyes.

Some hatred, unless the right time comes, he will just bury it deep in his heart.

After paying a spirit crystal as a stall fee at the Situ family’s base in the market, Fang Xi came to his stall and slapped his storage bag.

A roll of snake skin, a large amount of white snake bones, and snake meat preserved in ice emerged.

The smell of blood mixed with stench made the stall owners on both sides frown.

But looking at Fang Xi, who looked ferocious and not someone to be trifled with, he dared not say anything and could only complain in his heart.

“It’s actually monster meat!”

“Those cultivators who can hunt monsters are all first-rate ruthless people!”

“I also want to hunt monsters, but unfortunately, monsters in Yue Country are extremely rare. If we occasionally find one, it has already been bought up by local monks…”

“Let me see!”

The onlookers were talking sporadically, and a cultivator dressed as a scholar stepped forward and said, “Excuse me, brother, I wonder what grade this monster meat is? How much is it for sale?”

“First-grade low-grade demon snake meat costs one low-grade spirit stone for every ten kilograms! Snake bones cost five spirit stones! Snake skin for negotiation…”

Fang Xi sat cross-legged and answered with his eyelids slightly raised.

“What a pity! This meat looks like it has been stored for a while. Even with the ice, it doesn’t look very fresh…”

The scholar stood up and commented with regret.

“Get out of here, poor bastard!”

Fang Xi opened his eyelids, revealing a gleam of brilliance.

This scholar is not a body-refining cultivator, and his clothes are not worth a low-grade spirit stone. The key is that his cultivation is only at the initial stage of Qi Refining!
He is not his target customer at all!

“Hey hey…brother, why are you so angry? I’ll leave now…I’ll leave now…” The scholar was so scared that his legs went weak and he blended into the crowd.

The casual cultivators who were just watching the show laughed, but they didn’t think anything was wrong.

A cultivator with a high level of cultivation can wantonly bully a cultivator with a low level of cultivation. This is the law of the jungle in the world of cultivation.

Fang Xi used to be at the bottom, but now after being promoted to the middle stage of Qi Refining, he has barely climbed up a little.

Unfortunately… there is still a long distance to the top.

“Oh? More monster meat?”

Not long after, a rough voice was heard.

The crowd parted ways, and a sturdy man over two meters tall, as strong as an iron tower, walked to the stall. He ignored the snake skin and bones and only stared at the snake meat.

After asking about the price, he shook his head and said, “One spiritual stone is ten kilograms, it’s too expensive!”

Fang Xi took a look at the other person and confirmed that he was also a physical cultivator. He immediately showed a kind smile: “If you buy more than 50 kilograms, I can give you a discount…”

After some bargaining, the big man finally paid out four spirit stones and bought fifty kilograms of snake meat.

Unfortunately, after this big man, there wasn’t much business.

Only one talisman master apprentice came and spent one spirit stone to buy all the snake blood, saying that he was going to use it to make talisman ink.

Fang Xi was not in a hurry either. Immortal cultivators have always been very patient, and the spiritual energy inside the market town was far superior to that in the shantytowns, so it was just the right time for meditation.

This meditation lasts for one day.

When it was almost time to close the stall, Fang Xi secretly calculated: “Today’s market is not bad, and I have also received nine spirit stones…”

Individual cultivators who do not have a residence token in the market are not allowed to stay overnight. This is also to prevent individual cultivators from taking advantage of the market’s spiritual energy.

Just as Fang Xi was about to close his stall, he saw two monks coming over, talking and laughing. His eyelids jumped slightly: “It’s these two people?”

The ones who came were Chen Ping and Lu Zhi.

At this time, Chen Ping was wearing a lake blue silk robe embroidered with gold edges, looking very energetic. Lu Zhi changed out of her mourning clothes and wore a bright red skirt, looking even more charming.

The two of them looked around and soon arrived at Fang Xi’s stall.

“Not bad, not bad, there really are monster skins for sale here!”

Chen Ping poked the snake skin with his finger, and said with some regret: “What a pity… it’s just a first-class low-grade monster. Fellow Daoist, how much do you sell this roll of snake skin for?”

Obviously, he did not recognize Fang Xi.

After all, Fang Xi had already used his internal energy to adjust his body shape, and now he looked tall and strong, completely different from his previous slightly thin appearance.

“One price, ten spirit stones!”

Seeing the sucker coming to his door, Fang Xi glanced at Lu Zhi thoughtfully and immediately raised the price.

Men, in front of women, especially beautiful women, always like to pretend to be rich and waste money.

“make a deal!”

As expected, Chen Ping agreed without even thinking about it.

Instead, Lu Zhi frowned and said, “Your snake skin is worth at most five spirit stones… ten is a bit too much.”

“Hey… this snake skin is in complete condition. If it is processed carefully, at least hundreds of talisman papers can be made. The special talisman paper made from monster skin is much better than ordinary straw paper. It is said that it can also increase the success rate of talisman making. It is really not expensive…” Fang Xi is a good friend of Chen Ping after all, and he also knows some of the tricks of talisman paper, so he said casually.

“That’s right. Besides… Sister Zhi, this kind of monster skin talisman paper is even more special to me… Besides, you know, I’m already a first-class top-grade talisman master. This little premium is just a drop in the bucket. I can make it back by drawing a few more.”

Chen Ping looked at Lu Zhi affectionately.

“Have these two become so close? Should we have a wedding banquet next time?”

“No… Is Chen Ping’s progress in the art of talismans really that fast? The last time I heard Jiu Xuan say that he was trying to refine a first-grade top-grade talisman, and now he has succeeded? This is not scientific… No, this is not cultivation!”

Just as Fang Xi was complaining in his heart, Lu Zhi was actually convinced and nodded, “Forget it, I’ll do as you say!”

Chen Ping immediately threw out ten spirit stones and took away the demon snake skin.

Fang Xi watched this sucker leave, feeling a little regretful.

“If I had known this, I would have sold the chameleon skin as well… Unfortunately, it’s a bit eye-catching now.”

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

He had dealt with the chameleon monster and handed it over to Di Qi. If he sold its skin again, his identity might be exposed.

Besides, the leather of this monster has special properties, and Fang Xi wants to keep it for himself.

Just as he was watching Chen Ping leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a green shadow out of the corner of his eye.

Fang Xi’s pupils trembled slightly, and then he continued to pack up his stall and leave as if nothing had happened…

Only after leaving the market did he let out a long sigh: “It turned out to be Situ Qingqing… She is following Chen Ping?”

“Could it be… that she is really investigating Chen Ping, and not me?”

“Did I just overthink it before?”

“No… Why is the Situ family so concerned about Chen Ping? Are they trying to win him over, or kidnap him and use him as a tool? No… Chen Ping cannot enjoy this kind of treatment unless he can break through to the second-level Talisman Master, but how is that possible?”

Fang Xi laughed, burned his clothes, changed back into his spiritual farmer’s clothes, and returned to the shed to continue practicing.

The key to cultivation is perseverance.

Even though his daily Qi training speed was as slow as a snail, he couldn’t waste it.

“Now that we have the spirit stones, can we go buy some elixirs tomorrow to assist in our cultivation?”

While sitting cross-legged, Fang Xi had an idea in his mind: “But this doesn’t seem worth it… The spiritual stones on me are enough to buy a few ‘Qi Xue Dan’ and other elixirs suitable for physical cultivation… If I have the assistance of elixirs, my martial arts will improve faster. If I can push my martial arts to the third level of physical training, then I will feel more at ease whether I sell meat or engage in other trades. The spiritual stones will accumulate faster, and buying spiritual pills to assist in cultivation later seems to be more efficient and can also improve my combat effectiveness!”

Improve your combat power!

When Fang Xi felt that dark clouds were approaching, this reason became even stronger.

After all, saving lives is the first priority!

The next day.

Fang Xi got up early and went to the market town without paying attention to the call from the female cultivator next door.

Bailianfang!
As soon as I entered, I felt a wave of fire coming towards me.

As the largest magic tool manufacturer in Qingzhushan Market, Bailianfang looks very plain and simple.

In the front is a counter selling magical instruments, and in the back are many furnaces. A dozen apprentices in refining instruments are trying to repair and refine magical instruments under the guidance of their respective masters.

“Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy a magical instrument?”

A blacksmith with bare arms and red cheeks came over and asked politely.

“I want to customize a magic weapon!”

Fang Xi said, taking out the chameleon skin from before: “Although this monster is not of high rank, it is good at hiding its body. I want to use this skin as material to create a special magic weapon suitable for hiding!”

“I see. Please come in. I’m going to look for Master Gu!”

The blacksmith took Fang Xi to a guest room. Not long after, the door opened and a gray-haired old man walked in. “I’m Gutian. Does this Taoist want to create a special magical tool?”

“That’s right!” Fang Xi nodded.

Gu Tian looked the monster skin up and down, took out a strange magic weapon and examined it for a long time, then nodded and shook his head: “This monster skin is of average grade and average defense… Fortunately, it is relatively complete and can be engraved with a magic array. Do you have any other requirements?”

“The magic weapon doesn’t need to be high-grade, low-grade will do. There are no requirements for defense…” Fang Xi said, “It’s mainly about hiding your body. It has to be the best, and it’s best if mortals can’t detect it anyway… As for the detection of immortal cultivators’ spiritual eyes, there are no requirements.”

Even though Gu Tian had seen many strange guests, he was still shocked by Fang Xi’s request: “So… this is a magic weapon specifically for mortals?”

This kind of magical weapon that a cultivator could see through at a glance was simply an insult to his craftsmanship!
Fang Xi finally revealed his true intentions, “So… no need to add any precious materials, no need to use any special formations… can it be cheaper?”

The low-grade magic tools in Qingzhushan Market usually cost about ten spirit stones, while the middle-grade and high-grade magic tools cost dozens or hundreds of spirit stones.

However, custom-made special magic tools will definitely be more expensive, even if they are low-grade magic tools.

Master Gu was speechless for a moment, and then he said, “Okay, I’ll take fifteen low-grade spirit stones from you. Pay a deposit of five spirit stones first, and then sign the contract…”

Since its establishment, Bailianfang has been a very reputable shop.

Moreover, after signing the contract, it can be guaranteed that no secrets will be leaked.

For Fang Xi, it was naturally something he wanted more of.

After imprinting a trace of magic power on the two copies of the contract to form an imprint, Fang Xi paid five spirit stones and walked out of Bailianfang.
