Xia Po still has a good impression of these two guys. After all, in the world of cultivation, any news will be spread among the monks in the same circle.
Therefore, it is inevitable to make friends. Otherwise, if you stay here all the time, and you don't know what sect the Fuyao Sect will go to war with one day, etc., and you still stay here, won't it be a lot of trouble?
The names reported by these two people are all false, but this is normal. After all, they are not familiar with each other. Who would tell their real names?
Moreover, his strength is low and he is not a demon cultivator, so he does not pose any threat to himself at all.
The three people had a conversation, talking to each other about their life experiences and so on.
They were all helpless casual cultivators. Brother Meng was a member of a cultivating family, and then he was detected to have a talent for cultivating and embarked on the path of cultivating. Later, the cultivating family was destroyed, and he ran away.
.
Liangzi's life experience was even more miserable. According to him, he was once a disciple of a small sect, but he was directly expelled from the sect because he committed a crime.
As for the self-reports of these two people, just listen to them and don't take them seriously.
Xia Po also made up a rather bizarre life experience, saying that he was adopted by an old man when he was a child, and then the old man was killed by his enemy, and he helped him escape before he died...
There is a reason why I made up this reason.
Because not all monks would come to this ungrateful place on the edge of the world of cultivation.
Usually those who come here are unable to survive in places that are slightly inside the cultivation world, so although the reason he made up is cliché, it makes sense.
Xia Po saw that the time was almost up, so he asked tentatively.
"You guys have been here for a long time, right? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
Xia Po's words made the two of them deep in thought.
"This place is mostly populated by us young monks who are just hanging around. Those who are really talented and want to make progress join the Fuyao Sect. However, having said that, there are still a few places that you must not approach.
For example, in the caves at the top of ours, although I don’t know who lives in them, I have seen with my own eyes that the stewards here have to grovel when they go there, and I vaguely saw someone flying with a sword above!"
"Sword flying!"
Xia Po and Liangzi were shocked at the same time. Of course, Liangzi was really shocked, but Xia Po was just pretending.
Not because of anything else, but because flying with a sword is an exclusive skill for foundation-building monks.
If the people living in the top few caves can really fly with swords, then it means that they are foundation-building monks.
What is this place?
If you have a high EQ, this is a place where young monks with low cultivation experience go too far. If you have a low EQ, this is the sewer of the cultivation world, where all kinds of talented garbage and low-level monks gather.
Isn’t it shocking that there is a foundation-building period in a place like this?
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Brother Meng just nodded slightly.
"So let's just stay down there with peace of mind and never go near the top. There are only five caves on our floor. The people in the other two caves are not good people, so the three of us are good friends and take care of each other on weekdays..."
After Brother Meng said some polite words, he started talking about rumors of monsters and demon cultivators around. In short, they were all dangerous places, so Xia Po and Liangzi should be more careful.
After Xia Po memorized these places one by one, he still had lingering fears about the caves on the top floor.
I still have to be careful. After all, if I start a war with the monks in the foundation building stage, let alone whether I can win, even if I can win, it will cause a lot of noise.
Plus, you might not be able to win, so it’s better not to provoke him at all.
After saying this, Brother Meng began to ask the two of them if there was any way to earn spiritual stones.
If a monk wants to survive in the world of cultivation, it is necessary to earn spiritual stones. Of course, except for those disciples of aristocratic families.
Lingshi can not only buy elixirs and magic weapons, but can also be used for cultivation. In short, it is the most important cultivation resource. Moreover, living here also requires spending Lingshi.
According to Brother Meng himself, in addition to practicing every day, he often goes to the outer gate of Fuyao Sect to do odd jobs to earn money.
Liangzi, on the other hand, went to help a guest village brew spiritual wine in exchange for reward.
When they asked Xia Po, Xia Po showed an awkward smile.
"I...hahaha, I can draw some talismans and so on."
"Talk? I don't know if it's a spiritual talisman or..."
It was obvious that the two of them were very interested in Xia Po's words.
"Some tiny talismans."
As Xia Po said this, he took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag.
These talisman papers may have been just ordinary talismans before, but Xia Po has been drawing them for thousands of years and has long understood the Tao in these talisman papers, and has long been able to draw spiritual talismans.
Although these spiritual talismans are of no use in the ordinary world without spiritual energy, once they reach the world of cultivation and absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, they begin to transform and become spiritual talismans.
This was something Xia Po didn't expect.
Seeing these talismans, the two people's eyes instantly shone, and they both expressed admiration for Xia Po.
Being able to draw spiritual talismans, even though they are only some minor ninth-grade spiritual talismans, in this world of cultivation, it is definitely a good craft that can support oneself.
Not many monks would be envious of him, let alone one at the edge of the world of cultivation.
There are two reasons why he showed his ability to draw symbols.
One is to make these two guys trust him more. After all, in the eyes of these two people, their cultivation is higher than his. If they have evil intentions, they will just rob him.
Xia Po actually dared to say that he could draw talismans and showed it to them generously. This was undoubtedly telling the two of them.
"I'm a newbie in cultivation and I don't know anything."
Facing a new monk with a low level of cultivation, you can imagine how low the two people will be on their guard.
The second reason is that he must have been staying in the cave all year round and not going out. When the time comes, these two guys will wonder why he has been staying and not going out, and there is also Lingshihua. If they become suspicious, they will be in trouble.
"Although your talisman is not of high grade, the talisman is surprisingly delicate. It is definitely of the highest quality of the same grade. I suggest you not sell it to those talisman dealers. They are not reliable. Go to the Fuyao Sect.
Let's try our luck at the Foreign Affairs Office.
If people like your talisman, you will make a lot of money. The Fuyao Sect is so grand that your price can be two or three times higher than those of those talisman dealers."
"Really?" Xia Po was overjoyed.
I am still worried that I can’t find a channel to sell my own talisman, so what’s this?
You must know that he has been in the mortal world for so many years and has been painting talismans into spiritual talismans for four to five hundred years. During this period, he has accumulated so many spiritual talismans that his storage bag cannot hold them.
As long as you sell it slowly little by little, you can accumulate a large amount of spiritual stones.
Although he practices the way of the soul and does not have that much need for spiritual energy, when he reaches the peak of the soul refining stage and breaks through the foundation building stage, he seems to have to take a pill called the soul way pill.
And because there are too few monks in the way of the divine soul, and because you don’t want to expose that you are practicing the way of the divine soul, you will definitely have to practice it yourself when the time comes.
I took a quick look at the recipe for this elixir, and found that it actually used a sixth-grade spiritual herb as the medicine's introduction, as well as many seventh- and eighth-grade spiritual herbs.
You must know that the medicinal primer of the ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill is a seventh-grade spiritual grass, but this is enough to give most ordinary monks a headache.
So this is definitely a big expense.
While practicing, you also have to save money!
Thinking of this, Xia Po hurriedly raised his hand.
“I don’t know where to look for Fuyao Sect’s external affairs?”
"This is easy to handle. The Fuyao Sect's foreign affairs officer is going out for shopping in three days. I have some friendship with him. When the time comes, you can bring all the talismans with you and I will lead you to find him."
"Then thank you first, Brother Meng."
As Xia Po said this, he stuffed a few talismans into Brother Meng, and then stuffed a few more into Liangzi.
The ones he took out were all the ones Xia Po thought were the worst, so he didn't feel bad at all. It just happened to increase the favorability of these two people.
The three of them were talking and laughing as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
