Silver Pine Peak got its name because of the silver pines growing on the mountain. It was originally just one of the many peaks in the Jinfu Sect and was usually deserted.

Later, a few errand disciples occasionally "took" some things from their workplace and traded them in a small open space on the mountainside.

Over time, more and more people came here, and this place became a trading place for disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. Every five days, they would come here to see if there were any resources they needed.

Spirit stones, contribution cards, and talisman paper are all common currencies here, and of course there are many people who barter with goods.

These are the information in Chu Ci's memory, but his previous incarnation has never been here once.

Today was a trading day, and Chu Ci walked for nearly half an hour after leaving Wei Meng's place. After entering the woods, he could occasionally see Qi Refining disciples passing through the woods.

Half of them had their faces covered with green gauze, presumably because they did not want to reveal their identities. Chu Ci also tore off a piece of his clothes and tied it around his face.

From a distance, I saw an open space in front of me. There were about five or six groups of people talking about something in twos and threes.

Just as I was about to look over, I heard a voice behind me.

"My dear junior brother, I wonder what you would like to exchange. Why don't you come to my place and have a look? Maybe there is something you need."

Chu Ci looked back and saw a man in a green gown standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile.

The eighth level of Qi Refining! Chu Ci was shocked and immediately bowed and said, "Hello, Senior Brother."

The man smiled and waved his hand: "Junior brother, no need to be polite. We come here to trade, not to mention our cultivation level."

Chu Ci nodded quickly, but he was thinking in his heart, not sure whether he should trade with the person in front of him. The other party's cultivation was much higher than his, and whether there would be any risks.

Seeing Chu Ci's reaction, the person in front of him smiled and said, "It seems that this is your first time here, otherwise you wouldn't be so cautious."

Before Chu Ci could speak, he continued, "Don't worry, Junior Brother. When we do business here, we don't ask about your origin or your name. If you need anything, just tell me. If I don't have it, you can go to the front and look for it."

"I wonder if senior brother has any books on talismans here?" Chu Ci asked tentatively after hearing the other party say this.

Talisman paper and books are what he lacks most now. He has entrusted Wei Meng to exchange the talisman paper. Chu Ci came here today to look for some talisman books.

"I think Junior Brother probably wants the Complete Collection of First-Level Talismans, which costs three hundred Spiritual Stones."

Chu Ci was stunned: "How did you know..."

"Hehe, how did you know you wanted this book?"

The man smiled and said, "First, most people who come here to look for talisman books are looking for this one. Second, every disciple of the Golden Talisman Sect has a copy of the 'Introduction to Talismans', so I don't think you need it. Third, the Level 2 talisman book is useless even if you want it. Of course, I don't have one either, and it's only used by foundation-building cultivators. So if you don't want the 'Complete Collection of Level 1 Talismans', what else do you want?"

Chu Ci suddenly realized that there seemed to be quite a few people looking for this book, but he didn't have a single spiritual stone that the other party had mentioned.

"Brother, three hundred spirit stones..."

"I know you can't afford it, but you can exchange it with something else. The three hundred spirit stones I mentioned is the approximate price of this book. It's the same here. Convert the things into spirit stones first, so it's easier to calculate."

Before Chu Ci could finish, the green-robed monk spoke first.

Then he added, "I guess you are a menial disciple. Menial disciples usually have special things, which are even more valuable than those of us regular disciples. That's why we are willing to trade with menial disciples."

This time Chu Ci didn't say anything, but stared at the man in front of him, waiting for him to speak.

Sure enough, the man in green shirt in front of him started talking again:

"Some of the menial disciples are responsible for cleaning the cave, some are responsible for looking after the spiritual medicines and plants, and some are responsible for distributing elixirs. These are all lucrative jobs, so naturally the one who is close to the water will get the moon first. Therefore, the menial disciples who can come here usually have quite a bit of savings. I wonder what treasures Junior Brother brought with him?"

After listening to the words of the green-robed monk and looking at the menial disciple uniform on himself, Chu Ci seemed to understand something.

It seems that the reason why the other party called him just now was because of his identity as a menial disciple.

And according to what he said, there were quite a few menial disciples who came here to exchange things. Chu Ci felt relieved when he thought of this.

"I have some talismans in my hand, can they be exchanged?"

"Talisman?" The green-shirted man hesitated for a moment, "If it's an ordinary fire bomb talisman, it's fine. Almost everyone in our Golden Talisman Sect can make this talisman. I can't sell it. If it's other diamond talismans or earth wall talismans, senior brother is willing to exchange."

Can anyone refine the Fire Bomb Talisman? Chu Ci was a little speechless.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother, how much are these Vajra Talisman and Earth Wall Talisman worth?"

"Earth wall talisman for seven spirit stones, diamond talisman for nine spirit stones."

So little? Chu Ci couldn't help but frown. According to his understanding, ten pieces of talisman paper and a bottle of cinnabar cost about ten spirit stones.

For ordinary cultivators in the sect, the success rate of this earth wall talisman is about 20%, which means the cost of one talisman is five spirit stones.

The Vajra Talisman is a little more difficult to refine, so it is reasonable to sell it for nine spirit stones.

However, he only had five of each of the two talismans in his hand, which together were less than a hundred spirit stones, far from enough according to the price in the book.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci said, "I don't have these two talismans, but I have another kind of talisman. I wonder if you need it, Senior Brother?"

"Oh? What talismans do you have, Junior Brother?"

"Brother, take a look. Do you need this kind of talisman?" As he said that, Chu Ci stretched out his hand and took out a low-grade spirit gathering talisman.

"Gather..." The green-robed monk was about to exclaim, but was afraid that others would hear him, so he quickly lowered his voice and whispered, "Gathering Spirit Talisman! Of course I need it. I don't know how many you have, brother. I want them all!"

For these Qi Refining cultivators, a spirit gathering talisman is far more meaningful than any other offensive or defensive talismans.

Seeing this, Chu Ci knew that he was right. The Spirit Gathering Talisman is very difficult to draw, and it can also assist in spiritual practice, so it must be very expensive.

"I wonder how many spiritual stones can you calculate based on, Senior Brother?"

The green-robed monk thought for a moment and said, "If it's just this one, I can give you seventy spirit stones. If there are more than one, I'll give you seventy-five spirit stones. You only need four to exchange for the "First-level Talisman Collection"."

Seventy spirit stones? Chu Ci was quite satisfied with this price, but unfortunately he only had this low-grade spirit gathering talisman left in his hand.

Seeing that Chu Ci didn't say anything, the green-shirted monk thought that he was not satisfied with the price, and quickly added: "Junior brother, these seventy spirit stones are already very high, aren't you satisfied?"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Brother, you misunderstood. This price is acceptable, but I only have one of these low-grade spirit gathering talismans."

"Oh? From what Junior Brother said, could it be that you still have mid-grade ones in your hand?" Upon hearing what Chu Ci said, the green-shirted monk was stunned and asked hurriedly.
