With the help of the spiritual elixir, Hou Jiuming quickly immersed himself in cultivation.
Time flies, and seven days fly by in the blink of an eye.
The next morning, Hou Jiuming had to stop practicing.
Because today is the time for system replication and refresh.
“Finally refreshed!”
Although he has been practicing, he is always paying attention to the system situation.
Now that the refresh was successful, there was no delay and he left the cave directly.
This time, the one he wanted to copy most was the alchemist.
After all, he had seen with his own eyes the huge profits from the pills.
Just one elixir, plus some elixirs refined from auxiliary herbs, actually cost ten spirit stones each.
If he can refine it, he won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.
Stepping into the square from the steps, I saw that the square was more lively than the first day.
There were at least hundreds of people coming and going.
The scale of the stalls is also several times larger.
"You found a special skill, do you want to copy it?"
"whether"
"no"
Without hesitation, Hou Jiuming chose no.
Because he has a goal this time, he can't just copy every immortal cultivator he sees like before.
Standing on the edge of the square and observing for a while, I quickly located a stall.
Alchemists are not cabbages, they can be found everywhere.
If you want to know, you have to ask someone.
And since he had just arrived and had no acquaintances, he naturally wanted to find someone with whom he had met once.
This person was none other than the one who sold talismans on the first day the market opened.
After passing through the crowd, I saw a young man selling talismans in the innermost corner of the square.
When he saw him coming, the talisman seller recognized him immediately.
"I haven't seen Taoist friends show up for several days. I thought that Taoist friends had left there. What talismans do you want to buy today?" Chen Hua was very happy that the guest could come back.
Although the talismans he sells are cheap, because they are elementary talismans, the business is not very good.
Now that someone can come here twice in a row, they are naturally very enthusiastic.
"I'll just take a look!" When you are looking for someone to ask about something, you can't just talk in vain. At the very least, you have to let the other party get some benefits.
Otherwise, if you open your mouth just to inquire about something, it would be strange if others would tell you sincerely.
"Okay, you can choose whatever you want, and I'll give you a discount this time!"
"Yeah!" Hou Jiuming nodded, squatted down, and started picking at the stalls. While picking, he asked without missing a beat, "What's your surname, fellow Taoist, where is your fairyland?"
Chen Hua, who was observing the monks coming and going, withdrew his gaze when he heard Hou Jiuming's words. He looked at him and smiled without thinking too much, saying,
"My surname is Chen, and my name is just a Chinese character. I don't dare to take it as a name in Xianxiang. I'm just a casual cultivator who hangs out in the Luoyue Mountains. Fellow Taoist, he looks unfamiliar. He's not from nearby, right?"
After just getting started, the two started chatting.
After picking out the talismans and paying for the spiritual stones, the two parties had already informed each other of their names and had a lively chat, as if they were close friends meeting each other late at night and unable to express their feelings.
No one came to Chen Hua's stall anyway, so he simply took Hou Jiuming to chat.
Most of the conversation was about recent mortal wars.
And Hou Jiuming also learned about it from Chen Hua.
It turns out that the war between the Hanyue Kingdom and the Qianyu Kingdom was tacitly agreed upon by both parties.
It happens every few decades.
This is actually done for the sake of training for the younger generations of the two families.
Of course, mortal combat is essential.
Because the Qianyu Kingdom and the Hanyue Kingdom are small in size and lack supplies, and the two immortal cultivating families do not have any fixed income, they can only choose to cultivate the Blood Jade Fruit to increase their income.
This matter is not a secret in the world of immortality, almost everyone knows it.
When Hou Jiuming heard this, he felt vaguely unhappy.
He did not expect that the secular war would actually start because of the cultivation of children and magical medicine by two immortal cultivating families.
Such behavior is truly disgusting.
At the same time, I secretly decided in my heart that I would never show mercy to the monks from these two families in the future.
After that, Hou Jiuming suppressed the matter in his heart and began to inquire about the alchemist.
Chen Hua thought he had met a friend with whom he could get along, so naturally he knew everything and told Hou Jiuming everything he knew.
"...... Don't look at the Wang family selling elixirs here. In fact, their entire family does not have an alchemist. All the elixirs here are purchased from the Huating Sect..."
Chen Hua's answer immediately made Hou Jiuming's heart sink, but he did not give up and asked.
"Is there not even one alchemist in the entire Shanyue Kingdom?"
"No, the scarcity of alchemists is comparable to that of golden elixir monks. A small family cannot cultivate them at all, because it consumes too many resources. With those resources, it is no problem to cultivate a golden elixir monk.
Among casual cultivators and families like the Wang family, even if they have alchemy talent, it is impossible to cultivate it unless they join the sect..." When saying this, Chen Hua shook his head and sighed,
He once wanted to become an alchemist, but his dream was still a dream. With his status, if he wanted to learn alchemy, it would be even harder than climbing to heaven.
In the end, I had no choice but to switch to talisman cultivation.
Chen Hua's answer made Hou Jiuming very disappointed.
I originally wanted to copy an alchemy skill, but I didn't expect that alchemists were so rare. There was not even one in the entire Shanyue Kingdom.
This temporarily shelved his idea of making a fortune by refining alchemy.
"Forget it, we have entered the world of immortality anyway, and the alchemy skills will be copied sooner or later, so there is no rush." After comforting himself in his heart, Hou Jiuming turned his attention to Chen Hua.
Since alchemy cannot be replicated, the next best thing is to make a talisman.
"You found a special skill, do you want to copy it?"
"whether"
Looking at the panel, Hou Jiuming felt a little nervous, wondering if he could copy the talisman at once.
After all, the copy function is random, and no one knows what will be copied.
However, this tension was quickly suppressed.
"yes"
He concentrated on the word "YES" and waited slightly uneasily to copy the new skill.
"Bang~"
A sound that only Hou Jiuming could hear exploded in his mind, and then countless light spots penetrated his mind.
"Very good!"
The first time he received the information, Hou Jiuming felt happy.
Because the information transmitted is none other than the symbol.
And it's not just a few simple ones, but a "Complete Collection of Basic Talismans"
It contains not only all primary talismans, but also various spells.
Fireball, ice stab, quicksand, ground trap, and all kinds of spells are all available.
It can be said that all the spells that can be learned during the Qi refining period are included in it.
"Now, you don't have to worry about not having any spells!"
Although I didn't copy the alchemy skills this time, it was still a worthwhile trip to copy a basic talisman collection, not to mention getting so many spells.
