Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 23 Fangshi
Although the sect is safe, there are also examples like Fan Shaoming. Fan Shaoming had a relatively good ending. Although he lost his magic weapon, he was noticed by an outer sect deacon.

But we can't be too optimistic about everything. Fan Shaoming was just lucky. If the murderer had been a little more powerful, Fan Shaoming would probably be a corpse.

"It seems that I can only try my luck in the market." Because his contribution is not enough to exchange for the Hidden Qi Technique, Gu Mo plans to go to the market to see if he can obtain a similar secret technique.

There are not only disciples of Qinglu Sect in the market, but many independent cultivators also come here to trade. Therefore, in theory, any strange and weird things can be found in the market, but the probability cannot be guaranteed.

After leaving the Hall of Honor, Gu Mo chose to go down the mountain and head to the market town.

Now that the spiritual rice in the spiritual field has been harvested, it won't delay things to go out for a few days. Moreover, Gu Mo has long wanted to go to the market. Many rumors of finding bargains come from the major market. Gu Mo doesn't expect to find a bargain, but it's okay to come here to broaden his horizons.

After speeding all the way, with sweat on his forehead and most of his spiritual power consumed, Gu Mo finally arrived at the market outside the sect. At this moment, Gu Mo felt a little regretful. He should have used his contribution points to exchange for a paper crane for transportation.

But Gu Mo quickly suppressed his regret. It was a complete injustice to exchange contribution points for such an ordinary item as a paper crane. The same paper crane could be half the price in the market. Gu Mo's current wealth did not allow him to waste money.

Entering the market town, this market town for immortal cultivators is actually not much different from the commercial street in Gu Mo's memory. The central street of the market town is lined with various shops.

Many of these shops are industries owned by various peaks of the sect. For example, the peaks that produce elixirs, weapons, formations, and talismans will bring some of their excess production capacity here for sale, and they will also purchase the required materials from individual cultivators.

In addition, there are some shops owned by nearby immortal cultivation families, and a few shops belong to some powerful independent cultivators.

As for the more average independent cultivators, they set up stalls in a square in a corner of the market town, and the rumored incidents of picking up bargains originated from there.

Gu Mo was naturally very interested in this, but before that he needed to sell some spiritual rice in exchange for spiritual stones. Gu Mo did not need spiritual stones to assist in his cultivation, but the uses of spiritual stones were not limited to cultivation. The restrictions on his magic weapon hut needed spiritual stones to open.

In the future, he will also need spirit stones to set up formations, and only with spirit stones can Gu Mo purchase some of the things he needs now.

For example, paper cranes used for transportation.

It is not worth exchanging contribution points for paper cranes, but that does not mean Gu Mo does not need paper cranes. If there are cheap paper cranes, Gu Mo will still buy them.

As an immortal cultivator, you can't always rely on your legs when you go out, which is too un-immortal. Although flying on a sword is very immortal and very handsome, you are short of money, so you can only use a paper crane instead. Besides, flying on a crane is also very in line with the temperament of an immortal.

After taking a walk on the bustling Central Street, Gu Mo finally walked into a wine shop run by a casual cultivator. After strolling around, Gu Mo was able to find out the price of spiritual rice. The shop's purchase price was 1 spiritual stones per catty, which was 3.3 higher than the sect's price of 3 spiritual stones.

If you set up a stall in the square and sell slowly, the price can be at least 3.5.

But Gu Mo finally chose to sell it to the store. After all, he was going to sell 100 kilograms of spiritual rice this time, and it would probably take a long time to set up a stall. After all, 3.5 kilograms of spiritual rice would definitely be very stressful for many casual cultivators.

Since it can be sold at a low price, why not sell it directly to the store? This will also save time.

"I've seen the immortal master!"

When Gu Mo entered the wine shop, he was greeted by a young and beautiful female clerk. From the way she addressed him, he knew that she was just a mortal.

The largest population in the market town is actually mortals, and they basically serve the monks who come here. After all, the price of hiring a monk and hiring a mortal is absolutely worlds apart.

And those mortals also hope to be noticed by the immortal master and embark on the path of cultivation. If not, they hope to receive some rewards from the immortal master, so as to provide some help for their descendants to embark on the path of immortality.

"I'm here to talk to your boss about business." Gu Mo said to the clerk. The clerk was pretty among ordinary people, but she was far inferior to Chu Feifei, especially Chu Feifei, whose special physique was activated, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Master, please wait a moment!"

The female clerk bowed and then disappeared into the back of the store. She was only responsible for reception and conducting some small transactions. If a high-level monk appeared or there was a large transaction, it would be beyond her ability.

"So you're a fellow Taoist from Qinglu Sect!"

After a while, a man in a short shirt appeared. After seeing the Qinglu Sect's menial disciple robe on Gu Mo, his face suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

Although the menial disciples are like cattle and horses of the sect, this is, after all, the market town under the jurisdiction of Qinglu Sect. When encountering the menial disciples of Qinglu Sect, ordinary casual cultivators would not want to offend them.

Moreover, a errand disciple said that he had business to discuss with him, which was even more worthy of attention, because there might be someone behind this errand disciple.

Gou Youyu, who has been doing business in this market for many years, knows this very well.

"I've met the shopkeeper!"

Gu Mo quickly returned the gift. The other party was a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. Although his enthusiasm was a little confusing, it should not affect the transaction.

It's impossible for Gu Mo to lower the price just because the other party is enthusiastic. This is absolutely impossible. Lingmi has no worries about sales. Wine shops need Lingmi to brew Lingmi, restaurants also need Lingmi, and even pharmacies need Lingmi. Some elixirs require Lingmi.

"Little brother wants to sell spiritual rice!"

Gou Youyu was delighted after learning about Gu Mo's purpose of coming. Brewing wine consumes a lot of spiritual rice, but the spiritual rice purchasing channels he currently has cannot meet the consumption at all.

Although Gu Mo's 100 kilograms of spiritual rice were not much, it should be a test from the person behind the other party. And a test of 100 kilograms of spiritual rice meant that the strength was not weak.

If he could stabilize this channel of spiritual rice, it would definitely be a great thing for his shop. As a result, Gou Youyu changed the way he addressed Gu Mo from fellow Taoist to little brother.

"That's right!"

Gu Mo nodded, then took out two bags of spiritual rice weighing a total of 100 kilograms from his sleeves.

After checking the spiritual rice that Gu Mo took out, Gou Youyu was overjoyed. He was happy because the spiritual rice that Gu Mo took out was of very good quality. It was definitely the new rice of the season. You should know that the spiritual rice he got from his previous spiritual rice purchasing channels were all some inferior old rice. Qinglu Sect would not sell the high-quality new rice easily, and would give priority to supplying it to the disciples within the sect.

As for purchasing spiritual rice from independent cultivators, this is basically impossible. Independent cultivators can't even take care of themselves, so how can they have the time to farm? Only some immortal cultivation families own some spiritual fields, but those immortal cultivation families also give priority to using the spiritual rice produced from the spiritual fields for their own families.

Moreover, because the Xiuxian family has limited resources, the output of their spiritual fields cannot be compared with that of large sects like the Qinglu Sect, which means that the Xiuxian family basically does not have much surplus food.

Only a large sect like the Qinglu Sect would have a lot of surplus grain every year. After these surplus grains become stale grains, they would be sold to the market and bought by people like Gou Youyu.

Although there is no big problem in making wine with inferior aged rice, if it is high-quality spiritual rice, it can obviously improve the quality of the wine.
