Mortal Cultivator

"Don't go... Daoist friend, please stay!!!"

The old man saw that the rich man was leaving, and he cried out in a hurry.

Just now, he saw Wang Lu had a storage bag on him with his spiritual sense, and he saw that Wang Lu was a child. He wanted to make a fortune, but he didn't expect that the kid would turn around and leave. How could he dare to hold him back? He didn't dare to stop for a moment and called Wang Lu.

The books he sold were what he saw and heard and some cultivation experience. These things were valuable, but they were not valuable.

In any case, no one usually bought them, because he could use his spiritual sense to carve ten books a day, and the materials used for the books were ordinary paper, so the price was negligible.

And knowledge is something that casual cultivators generally don't buy. Who has spirit stones to buy this stuff? It's not enough for cultivation.

Wang Lu turned around after hearing this. He was not in a hurry to cultivate, and his resources were not abundant. Last time he saw many people selling books in the casual cultivator market, he wanted to buy them at that time, but unfortunately he was short of money.

"Here."

Wang Lu paid a spirit stone, reached out and picked up a book to read. Seeing the dense handwriting inside, he was satisfied and put away the other books. Although the descriptions inside were more complicated, they were all real things.

The old man took the spirit stone, his face showed joy, and then he flipped his hand and took out a jade slip.

"Hehehe, this is a jade slip of alchemy experience I got. Do you want it? The original, 7 spirit stones, no cheating!"

The old man gestured with a smile, with a flattering look on his face. He didn't lie, but this kind of thing is not something that a casual cultivator can get his hands on. I'm afraid he can't even afford an alchemy furnace, let alone the medicinal materials wasted by the furnace explosion. I'm afraid it will make him heartbroken.

He took it to Wanbao Pavilion to sell before, but Wanbao Pavilion was only willing to give 4 spirit stones, so he didn't want to sell it.

Wang Lu took the jade slip, probed it with his spiritual sense, and checked it for a moment. He confirmed that it was the experience of a first-class alchemist in alchemy, and the material of the jade slip alone was worth 1 spirit stone. After thinking for a while, Wang Lu replied.

"5."

"Okay, deal."

Seeing the old man agreed, Wang Lu did not hesitate. He took out five spirit stones and handed them to the old man, then turned and left.

The old man took the spirit stones and sighed. He was originally a chores of a sect. When he was over 50 years old and had no hope of promotion, he retired from the sect. He returned to the secular world and lived a carefree life for a while, but he was unwilling to give up. He stepped into the world of immortal cultivation again and became a casual cultivator. Now he is old.

"Alas, it's time to return to the secular world!"

The old man sighed in his heart. Saving some spirit stones can also give his descendants a better cultivation environment. Looking at Wang Lu's leaving figure, he sighed for a while. He was so rich at a young age and his mind was so mature. His eyes were full of envy and melancholy.

…

Wang Lu walked around the market again and bought books from four old monks. He packed all the books with one spirit stone each, and returned to the cave after spending all the spirit stones.

He placed all the books on the bed, picked up a book and flipped through it, took out the remaining four spirit beard fruits on his body, and threw them into his mouth one by one like eating candy beans.

…

A month passed, and he had read every book thoroughly, and had deduced the jade slips several times.

Stepping into the space, Wang Lu looked at a field of red fruits. It would be a lie to say that he was not excited. He picked them one by one, a total of 780.

This time, Wang Lu did not go to Li's Dantang, but went to a shop far away. He thought it was better to be cautious.

[Qingyu Dantang]

Wang Lu looked at the shop in front of him. It was not a very big shop. When he stepped into the shop, a monk who looked like a servant was sitting behind the counter. Wang Lu stepped forward.

"Senior, I want to sell Lingxu fruit."

"10 Lingxu fruit, one Lingshi."

The servant said without raising his eyelids.

"Okay."

Wang Lu did not bargain for the price. He reached into his arms and threw the storage bag on the counter.

The servant opened his eyes and stood up straight when he saw the storage bag on the counter.

"Hahaha, a distinguished guest, I'm sorry for your disrespect." The servant did not look down on Wang Lu because of his plain clothes. When he saw the storage bag, he immediately had a flattering face.

The spirit sense probed into the storage bag.

"Ah, so many." The servant exclaimed in surprise. Looking at the hundreds of Lingxu fruit inside, the spirit sense scanned and found out the number.

"I'll get you the Lingshi right away."

"No, I still need to buy something. I need to buy the seeds of the Qi Gathering Grass."

The servant was about to get the Lingshi, but stopped when he heard the words.

"Qi Gathering Grass seeds? Do you want all?" The servant said hesitantly.

The seeds of Qi-gathering grass can be planted and used as an auxiliary medicine for some elixirs. Three seeds are produced every ten years. Wang Lu doesn't look like an alchemist, and there is no such young alchemist. Is he an errand boy? That's right, it must be!

"Yes, I want all of them." Wang Lu answered affirmatively.

"Okay!"

The servant responded and ran into the back hall with Wang Lu's storage bag. After a while, he ran back and handed the storage bag to Wang Lu and said respectfully: "There are 240 seeds in it, most of which are given by the store. Young man, you must choose our store next time you have a deal."

The servant handed the storage bag to Wang Lu with a flattering face. Wang Lu took the storage bag and saw that there were indeed 240 seeds in it. He also smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely come to your store next time. Thank you for your care."

Wang Lu said so, but I'm afraid only a fool would believe it.

"Hahaha, I don't deserve it. I'm just a handyman." The servant looked silly and said embarrassedly while touching his head.

Although Wang Lu was just a kid, and his cultivation was lower than his, he did not dare to neglect him. Just by looking at Wang Lu's behavior, he could tell that even if Wang Lu was an errand boy, he must be doing better than himself.

After exchanging a few polite words with the servant, Wang Lu left the shop and walked towards the cave. As soon as he arrived at the door of the front hall, he saw the female cultivator again. He had not seen her several times before, but another manager, whose status was obviously not as high as this female cultivator.

"Fairy sister, long time no see." Wang Lu went up to greet her.

The female cultivator rolled her eyes at him when she heard this. Just as she was about to reply, a cultivator came to rent the cave. Wang Lu did not bother her and returned to the cave.

Entering the space, he planted all 240 seeds, almost filling the space, leaving a small piece of land in the center, and then quickly produced black beads. Looking at his old clothes, Wang Lu thought, next time, next time, it's useless to buy them now anyway.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Wang Lu took out the books and read them again, then took out the jade slips of his experience in alchemy and continued to study.

Wang Lu couldn't help laughing when he saw the first few sentences again. The first few sentences were plain words, but they also showed the difficulty of alchemy.

"If you want to make an elixir, fry a hundred furnaces first. If a hundred furnaces fail, don't make an elixir..."

It's easy to say, fry a hundred furnaces first, and if a hundred furnaces fail, don't make an elixir, but this also shows the difficulty and financial cost of alchemy.

Not to mention the furnace and the fire source, the medicinal materials for alchemy alone are very valuable. If you refine a hundred furnaces of Qi-cultivating pills, the materials will cost more than 2,000 spirit stones. It's no wonder that the elixir is expensive. It's really too much financial resources to become an alchemist, and it's not certain to succeed.
