In the simple hut, Ji Yuan sat at the tea table, playing with a bronze oil lamp in his hand.
In terms of the quality of this oil lamp, it was almost the same as the three-talented treasure he had earned in a humble way. Even its ability to gather spiritual energy and concentrate and meditate was far superior to that of attacking.
It's just that the spiritual energy in the bronze oil lamp has been exhausted. If you want to restore it to intact, you need to replenish a large amount of spiritual energy.
In this case, coupled with the cost of repairing the Sancaibao, I am afraid it will be a staggering amount of money.
"It seems that I have to go to Mingxinxuan and sell all the elixirs and talismans in my hand."
Ji Yuan sighed, and the joy in his heart was suddenly diluted a lot.
In the final analysis, his cultivation time was too short. Even with the means of refining elixirs and making talismans, coupled with his strong fortune, he still failed to accumulate a solid family fortune.
After shaking his head a few times, he stood up and went to the corner of the room. From the old wooden cabinet, he took out seven or eight porcelain bottles and a wooden box.
The bottle contains elixirs that strengthen the body and nourish the body's vitality. As for the wooden box, there are stacks of yellow paper talismans.
These are the assets that Ji Yuan has accumulated for several months. He originally planned to use them himself, but now he can only take them out in exchange for some money.
"Let's make a few more batches of elixirs later."
The little Taoist priest muttered as he put the things in his bag, then opened the door and walked out.
But as soon as he reached the courtyard, he went back again, returned to the house, and put a brass pill furnace in the corner into the body of the white jade flying sword in Zifu.
After doing this, Ji Yuan clapped his hands, carried his baggage and long sword, climbed over the Taoist temple wall, and walked on the streets that were gradually becoming noisy.
Qianyu City was once a great city renowned for its dynasty, but due to the great changes hundreds of years ago, it was affected by the battles between many powerful people, thus destroying most of the city.
Now, more than 300 years after its reconstruction, although it is no longer as prosperous as before and has been downgraded from a first-class county to a third-class county, it is still comparable to an ordinary second-class county.
At this time, the morning sun has risen high, and there are more and more pedestrians walking on the street. Most of them are rushing to work or opening their shops to do business.
There are many stalls selling breakfast on some street corners. Nowadays, they are naturally full of people. When you pass by, you can smell the aroma from a distance, which makes people twitch their fingers.
Smelling the fragrance wafting not far away, Ji Yuan finally remembered that he had not eaten for half a day and a night. Although the pills he took could make up for some of the physical consumption, they were not completely satisfied after all.
It's just that for those who are practicing, they should not be careless about everything they drink or eat. What ordinary people think of as delicious food is full of turbidity in the eyes of monks, and eating it will harm the Taoism.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
Ji Yuan whispered a few words of honor and quickly moved away from the place, suppressing his desire to speak.
It wasn't until he stood outside Mingxinxuan that he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he strode into the door with a meteoric stride and walked to the reception room next to him with familiarity.
Not long after, a young woman came slowly. Even though it was already autumn, she was still gently shaking a round fan in her hand.
"Hey, isn't this Taoist Master Ji Xiao? Are you free to come to our place today?"
The young woman sat down and said slightly differently: "Didn't I just sell a batch of elixirs a few days ago, and I'm already running low on money after not seeing each other for a few days? Could it be that I'm following the example of those scholars?"
Ji Yuan ignored the young woman's teasing and skillfully threw the bag into her arms, then grabbed the snacks that had just been served and ate them hungrily.
Although the snacks used by Mingxinxuan to entertain guests are not a good spiritual meal, they do not contain much turbidity. Even if they are eaten, they only need to be vomited a little to get rid of them.
"Shopkeeper Liu, in addition to maintaining the same ratio of silver coins and spiritual coins this time, I also need some things like spiritual water."
While he was eating, he did not forget to explain a few words.
Usually when he comes to Mingxinxuan, in addition to selling elixirs and talismans, he will also replenish some materials for alchemy and talisman making. The rest will be settled in silver coins and spiritual coins.
The former is a common currency in the Chongqing Dynasty and even the entire world, while the latter is a must-have for practitioners.
The full name of the so-called spirit coin is "Yunling Coin". It is a hard currency among monks. It contains rich and pure spiritual energy. Whether it is used to refine mana or to set up formations and refine weapons, it is first-rate.
The best choice for you.
But generally speaking, no monk would do such a wasteful thing, because the value of the spirit coin itself is far beyond these functions.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's eyes flashed, and he looked at the little Taoist priest in front of him meaningfully, then he chuckled and turned to buy the goods for the transaction.
Naturally, Ji Yuan could not fail to feel the gaze of the shopkeeper Mingxinxuan, and also knew its meaning. It was just that the other party had guessed something from the spiritual water he wanted.
After all, the place that can be used to restore spiritual water is nothing more than refining some elixirs or magic weapons, or else it is to make up for the loss of spiritual energy in the magic weapons.
It's just that although he is known as Qianyu City's little alchemy master, he is not yet capable of refining elixirs that require spiritual water recovery. As for refining weapons, it is naturally impossible.
Then the only thing left is the spiritual energy to make up for the loss of the magic weapon.
The value of a magical artifact is naturally self-evident. Ordinary monks often spend their entire lives and may not be able to accumulate enough wealth to purchase a magical artifact of extremely low quality.
At the same time, if a monk has a weapon in his body, there will be a gap between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain, and the status will naturally be different.
If you are an alchemist, even if you are worthy of respect and friendship, or even need to be pleased, this is just a business relationship, but if you are facing a monk who possesses a magic weapon, you must not be hostile to him.
That's why Liu Ruyan had that profound look.
Ji Yuan could even guess that from now on in his transactions with Ming Xinxuan, the other party would definitely offer more profits to express his goodwill.
The truth is actually very simple. Even if an alchemist is offended, at best he will not be able to make a profit. But if he offends a monk holding a magic weapon and they suddenly come to you, that is not something that can be settled with a little money.
.
In the arena, force is supreme, and the same is true for monks.
After clearing away all the snacks on the table, Ji Yuan grabbed the teapot and drank a swig. Then he patted his belly with satisfaction and looked around in boredom.
It was still early at this moment, and there were not many monks in Qianyu City, so besides him, there was no other guest in Mingxinxuan.
Just some of the waiters in the store were busy going back and forth, which didn't make the place feel deserted. On the contrary, some maids were whispering to each other, making the place feel a little more lively.
When they saw him looking around, some familiar maids and waiters would smile and nod in response. This chapter has been completed!
