Chapter 7: Fellow Daoist Long Visits

Qin Ming pondered in his heart.

It seems that the connections behind Shopkeeper Liao are probably extraordinary, and he can get news about things like the upper echelons of the immortal cultivation world in advance.

It may not be a bad thing for him to have a good relationship with the other party.

"Thank you, Manager Liao, for telling me."

"But is there anything else?" Qin Ming asked.

Shopkeeper Liao smiled and suddenly said to him meaningfully: "Haha, Fellow Daoist Qin is really low-key!"

"I have a humble request. When the animal tooth rice matures in two years, can you sell some of it to our store?"

"This pavilion can purchase it at a price 10% higher than the market price."

Qin Ming was shocked. It had only been less than a few days and the other party already knew this.

"Manager Liao is really powerful. I can't hide anything about the spiritual fields from you." Qin Ming did not agree immediately.

"The animal tooth rice seeds have been planted, but I can't guarantee that they will be mature and harvestable in two years."

It turned out that Shopkeeper Liao had just paid him spirit stones at the increased price of spirit rice, and also revealed to him a lot of information about Lingyu Sect.

In fact, he just wanted to buy out Qin Ming's channel of "Beast Tooth Rice" by paying an extra twenty or thirty spirit stones.

He is indeed an experienced businessman!

"Of course, if Brother Qin has other conditions, we can certainly discuss them!" Shopkeeper Liao observed Qin Ming's reaction and immediately poured him tea.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is so young, yet he has already achieved such accomplishments in spiritual planting. He must be gifted. It is certain that he will be able to harvest the beast tooth rice."

"I wonder if your company has any body-building exercises for sale." Qin Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Of course Shopkeeper Liao understood it immediately.

He directly took out several sets of body-building exercises and introduced them to Qin Ming one by one:
"Nine Transformations to Return to Life, a top-level body-building technique that can be practiced all the way to the foundation-building stage. It is extremely masculine and strong, and is priced at three thousand spirit stones."

Qin Ming curled his lips and couldn't help thinking: "The technique is good, but the price is also very touching."

"The Ming Wang Body Tempering Technique can open up 270 acupoints in the body and condense the true energy. It is a high-level body-refining technique. The price is one thousand spirit stones."

"Vajra Forging Qi, a mid-level physical training technique that can be practiced for thirty years to achieve a small degree of success. Price: five hundred spirit stones."

……

Shopkeeper Liao's mouth was dry after introducing it, so he took a sip of tea and continued, "The Heavenly Evil Summoning Demon Sutra, eighty spirit stones."

"Wait a minute!"

"Boss, please introduce this technique in detail."

"The Heavenly Evil Summoning Demon Sutra, hmm. This technique is pretty good!"

"It sounds very positive, that's it!"

Shopkeeper Liao: “.”

Qin Ming pondered for a while and made a firm decision.

"This is a magic skill. Anyone who practices it will be able to kill you." Shopkeeper Liao said.

"Then you'll sell it to me?"

"Sorry I got the wrong one."

"."

An hour later.

Qin Ming left Juxuan Pavilion.

The skills in Shopkeeper Liao's hands are either too expensive for Qin Ming to afford with his current wealth, or they take decades to practice and show results.

There is no way to seek the Dharma.
Qin Ming could only stare blankly.

However, in the end, Manager Liao still pointed out a clear way for him.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, there is a Ruan family in the East District of Qingyangfang City. Their family has fallen into decline, and their ancestors have passed down a body-refining technique."

"I once offered a hundred spirit stones to buy this technique, but Fellow Daoist Ruan refused to sell it, saying that he would only sell it if I added some Qi and blood-boosting pills or medicines."

“I don’t think it’s worth it.”

"Maybe you can try your luck there."

"But you don't have to get your hopes up."

What Shopkeeper Liao meant was that Qin Ming currently had some animal tooth rice that was about to be successfully cultivated, and if it was used as a bonus, it might be able to impress the other party.

In return for this news, he also promised to sell a portion of the animal tooth rice to Juxuan Pavilion if it was ripe by then.

Transaction is over.

Both parties were happy.

He just walked out of the store.

They ran into a large patrol team from the Lingyu Sect, who were rushing out of the market town in a hurry.

He looked ready for battle, and his aura was intimidating.

"Hello, fellow Taoist, may I ask what happened?" Qin Ming casually asked a passerby who was watching the fun.

"It seems like you are going to kill monsters?"

"But don't worry, our market is very safe. Even a Foundation Establishment monster cannot break through the market's second-level protective formation."

"Just don't run around everywhere, fellow Taoist."

Qin Ming seemed to be thinking about something.

Then, following the instructions of Manager Liao, he went to the Ruan family in the eastern district of the market.

But when they got there, they found that the door of the Ruan family was closed.

The monk who lived nearby told him that Brother Ruan had gone out on business and would not be back for three or four months.

Qin Ming had no choice but to come back later.
……

Back to the shantytown.

evening.

Inside the house, Qin Ming was preparing dinner.

Somewhat absent-minded.

Qingyangfang City is quite safe, but the protective array does not extend to their shantytowns!
"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Qin Ming opened the door cautiously.

I discovered that the person who came was actually Fellow Daoist Long.

It's a rare occasion, he is truly a rare guest!

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I heard that the yield and quality of your spiritual rice are both good. I would like to purchase some from you."

Fellow Daoist Long went straight to the point.

Qin Ming thought about it for a moment and forced a smile: "Yes, the recent output of spiritual rice is good, but most of it has been sold."

Fellow Daoist Long frowned upon hearing this, but he still said in a gentle manner: "I wonder how much spiritual rice Fellow Daoist Qin still has. I will take whatever I have and buy it all at the market price."

"Friend Long, I heard that the price of spiritual rice in the market will increase by about 50% in the next two days." Qin Ming said with a slight hesitation.

Although he didn't really want to offend the late Qi training cultivator in front of him, he also didn't want to be taken advantage of for nothing.

Fellow Daoist Long was obviously stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but start to look at Qin Ming. Few people knew about the price increase of spiritual rice.

Although it will be made public in a few days, in Qingyang Market, it is only controlled by a few people in the late stage of Qi training and a few forces.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is quite well-informed."

"In that case, then I will buy it according to the increased price. What do you think?" Fellow Daoist Long said simply.

Qin Ming nodded in agreement after hearing this: "I currently have about 50 kilograms of stock to sell. I don't have any more, so I have to wait until next season."

The transaction of Lingmi is completed.

Fellow Daoist Long said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Qin Ming didn't dare to really offend the other party.

After all, the nearby alleys are under his protection.

"Alas, even the cultivators in the late stage of Qi training have begun to make preparations. It seems that things are really going to change."

“The increase in the price of Lingmi is a good thing for me.”

"But it also means that the surrounding environment is becoming increasingly harsh."

……

Qin Ming had a meal of spiritual rice.

He went to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the cushion on the bed, and began to practice Changchun Gong.

There were still two entries of 'weak mana' left in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Today is the day!"

Qin Ming's mind moved, and a 'weak magic power' entry disappeared.

The magic power that surged out of the Dantian began to circulate through the body over and over again.

Constantly flush and widen the meridians.

at last!

boom!
When the magic power in Qin Ming's dantian accumulated to a certain critical point.

A thin membrane seemed to be torn apart.

"Qi training stage three!"

The fluctuation of Qin Ming's mana increased to a higher level.

"Whoo~"

Qin Ming let out a breath of foul air.

"After so many years, I finally don't have to spend time in jail at the second level of Qi training."

He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he had changed a lot in just over a year.

"As long as you develop steadily, it is possible to build a foundation."

Qin Ming felt the Changchun spiritual power in his dantian increase by nearly double.

Although he was happy, he was not too happy: "The third level of Qi training is still unstable, and I still need to improve my strength as soon as possible."

"The world of immortal cultivation is ever-changing. The bottom of the Qi training stage is like cannon fodder. You have to at least reach the foundation building stage to gain a foothold. Your own destiny is ultimately in your own hands."

Nowadays, living under someone else's roof brings many inconveniences.

You may also be drawn into the vortex of sect fighting at any time and have no control over your own behavior.

In order to be exempted from the corvée labor of Lingyumen and regain freedom, one must meet any one of the three conditions.

The first is to break through the foundation-building stage.

Second, among the hundred arts of cultivation, any one of them can be promoted to the second level.

Third, hand over any kind of foundation-building resource.

He understood that he also had to work hard in these three directions.

And next.

Breakthrough from the third level of Qi training to the fourth level.

For Qin Ming, this is a huge test.

The fourth level of Qi training marks the beginning of the cultivator's entry into the middle stage of Qi training.

Strictly speaking, it is the first bottleneck in cultivation.

It was countless times more difficult than when he had just broken through to the third level of Qi training.

……

Ten days later.

Most of the cultivators in Qingyang Market and the shanty towns surrounding it have learned about the sharp price increases of spiritual rice, meat and other daily necessities.

The prices of spiritual weapons, elixirs, and talismans also began to rise.

Ever since Qin Ming planted the 'animal tooth rice', the supervisor Du Haifu's frequency of inspections of his spiritual field has gradually increased.

Things have not been peaceful recently, so he has specially added more people to patrol around the spiritual field.

During this period of time, Qin Ming not only practiced the intermediate spiritual rain technique to increase the fertility of the spiritual fields.

Just immerse yourself in the study of spiritual plant knowledge.

In addition, you need to find a suitable body-building exercise.

Qin Ming's 'animal tooth rice' is not yet mature, so there is no rush.

In the blink of an eye.

Three months passed.

In the spiritual field.

Perhaps Qin Ming's luck had run out during this period.

In the second season's four-acre golden rice field, only two 'weak mana' entries were harvested.

But fortunately it is.

After Qin Ming broke through to the third level of Qi training, his magic power doubled. He no longer had to run out of magic power when performing the intermediate Spirit Rain Technique as before.

In the second season, the output of Jinling rice also reached a new high, exceeding nine stones.

This time, after Qin Ming paid the spiritual rice tax, he was not in a hurry to sell it.

Instead, a portion of it is kept and stored in case of emergency.

Shopkeeper Liao wanted to take advantage of the price increase to buy more.

Qin Ming had already found an excuse.

He also told him about Fellow Daoist Long asking him to buy the spiritual rice.

The price of spiritual rice in the market has also skyrocketed recently, with the increase exceeding 60% of the original price.

Qin Ming also made a small fortune.

The number of spirit stones in the storage bag exceeded 150 for the first time.

He also bought a low-grade golden protective talisman and a low-grade magical weapon, the Qingling Sword, from Shopkeeper Liao, spending another twenty-five spirit stones.

"These days, you have to have some self-defense equipment."
