Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 22 Procurement
After the toast arranged by He Degong, the He family caravan was about to set off just after noon.

When everyone was saying goodbye, the intimacy between He Degong and Kang Dabao reached a new level. He held Kang Dabao's hand and chatted for a full quarter of an hour. It was not known whether it was because of Yuan Jin's beating or Jiang Qing's ability.

Kang Dabao finally managed to get away from He Degong and walked up to Jiang Qing.

"It only takes fifteen years for a slug to grow into a heroic man." Kang Dabao thought with emotion as he looked at his junior fellow apprentice who was now much taller than him.

"No need to say more. You must be tired of hearing my usual instructions. Just remember that nothing matters. No matter what happens, as long as you come back safe and sound, that's all."

Kang Dabao patted Jiang Qing on the shoulder and whispered.

"Let's go, be careful." Yuan Jin also said.

"Don't worry, my two senior brothers!" Jiang Qing nodded in agreement and got into a luxurious four-wheeled animal carriage.

"My two brothers, we are leaving now. We will have a feast and chat with you two brothers when we come back next time!" He Degong and a dozen Qigong monks also got into the beast carts.

His caravan was actually quite large, with nearly a hundred trucks loaded with all kinds of goods.

The black camel pulling the cart was tall and docile, an excellent beast of burden. It was common for it to carry tens of thousands of pounds of cargo. It would even pant and exhale white steam when starting to pull the cargo.

If this caravan were placed among the several small markets that Kang Dabao often visited, it would be considered first-class.

Not until the convoy disappeared from sight did Kang Dabao bring Yuan Jin back to the courtyard.

He also had to figure out what things he needed to buy and bring back to the clan. He had been away for a while, and he was a little worried that there was no one to look after his family.

So in the next few days, he visited almost all the shops in Xuanwei City and bought a lot of useful things.

Seriously speaking, as a sect leader, the importance of improving the sect's overall strength should far outweigh the improvement of his personal cultivation. This is what he urgently needs to do now.

The first-class superior killing formation, the Red Light Cloud Fighting Formation, can release hundreds of red fire spells to defend against the enemy and can cover an area of ​​ten miles around the center of the formation.

With this kind of power, according to common sense, it would be no problem for it to counteract a dozen ordinary peak Qi training cultivators.

To be honest, this is not a sophisticated formation, but it is simple and easy to use, and is very suitable for the requirements of the Chongming Sect.

What's more, the original price was 1,100 spirit stones, but it was bought with only 870 spirit stones, and he even bought it by using those hard-to-sell magical instruments!
After his last defeat at the hands of Huo Ying, Master Kang has staged a brilliant comeback!
The only problem is that it requires spiritual veins to supply energy to the array. The Chongming Sect does not have spiritual veins, so it can only use spiritual stones. It requires twenty spiritual stones just to operate it for a month, and the amount required when fighting against the enemy will double.

Therefore, Kang Dabao finally did not sell the small cloud and mist formation. He planned to use it normally when he had nothing to do. It would be more cost-effective to open the red light formation when there were guests or when he really faced the enemy.

As for the magic, even though that group of uncles had moved everything out of the scripture room, Kang Dabao, as the next leader already designated by the old leader, still had the original version in his hands.

The common five-element magic, elixir, array and talisman collections are all available in the Chongming Sect today.

What's more, it is rare to find such treasures in Xuanwei City. Even if you come across them, their value is not something that Kang Dabao can afford with the money he has.

Kang Dabao just casually visited a few study rooms and lost much interest. It seemed that finding a bargain only appeared in story books, and Master Kang had never encountered such a thing in his two lifetimes.

So he turned around and went into several spiritual medicine shops, compared the goods among them, and successfully earned a lot of contempt.

Four first-grade top-quality Qingxin grass cost sixty-one spirit stones, and fifty first-grade low-quality wheel fruits cost thirty spirit stones.

This is prepared for Han Yundao and Duan Anle.

According to Kang Dabao's estimation, the two of them have been making the medicinal bath for more than three years, and one Qingxin grass and two Zhuanlun fruits are almost enough to draw the spirit into the body, and the rest can be used as reserves.

Eight taels of first-grade top-quality red crystal sand for one hundred and eight spirit stones, two bottles of first-grade top-quality smart liquid for two hundred and sixty spirit stones, these are all auxiliary materials for practicing pupil techniques.

According to what was passed down by the sect's masters, this amount is enough for the Golden Eyes to practice for half a year.

After being the head of the sect for so many years, Kang Dabao spent so many spirit stones on himself at one time, which was unprecedented. If he still couldn't cultivate the golden eyes that could see through delusion, head of the sect Kang would probably wake up crying out of heartache in the middle of the night.

A first-grade, top-quality spirit beast bag. Now Kang Dabao is still very sad when he thinks about how his "turtle son" fell into the hands of the four ghosts of the Liu family.

It has been with me for more than ten years, but it has never even lived in the Tianling Beast's bag and has used the inner pocket of its clothes as its nest.

The role of spiritual beasts is unquestionable. If it weren't for the white-armored tortoise protecting its master, the four ghosts of the Liu family might be kicking their own heads as if they were balls.

I spent most of the day wandering around several spirit beast shops in Xuanwei City, and saw many kinds of rare and exotic animals, but in the end I left empty-handed.

Obviously, many of the young animals were good, and there were even a lot of white-shelled tortoises like "Turtle Son", but it seemed that they lacked a little bit of appeal, so Kang Dabao suspended his plan to raise spiritual animals. The head of the Kang family, who was always not particular and could make do with anything, was stubborn and felt strange.

Originally, I was just thinking of picking one up at random and raising it casually, preferably one that could take itself away and protect its offspring.

But it happens
But there is no rush for this matter, there is still time to put it aside for some time and make a choice later.

Kang Dabao went out again and walked towards the most imposing puppet shop in Xuanwei City. A powerful stone tablet with the word "工" stood in front of the door.

This is a shop opened by the Lugong faction, a major puppet sect of the David Immortal Dynasty.

Unlike ordinary puppet shops, the pretty maid standing in front of the door has a much higher level of cultivation than Kang Dabao, but judging from her age, she is probably less than half of Kang Dabao's.

The shopkeeper who was reading a book at the counter was not very enthusiastic. When he saw Kang Dabao step into the door, he just smiled professionally, stretched out his hand as if to invite him in, and continued to pick up the book and flip through it, allowing Kang Dabao to check the items in the store.

Kang Dabao was amazed by the dazzling array of puppets, some for assisting in cultivation, some for assisting in alchemy, some for assisting in refining equipment, some for fighting, some for teaching, some for raising spirit beasts.
It really has everything.

Among them there was even a fighting puppet with the strength of a fake Dan realm. According to Kang Dabao's guess, even the Dingnan Niu family, which owned the entire Xuanwei City, could not find someone who could compete with this puppet.

Kang Dabao didn't even look at the price tag of the puppet. He thought that even if he sold off the entire Chongming clan's family, it wouldn't be enough to earn a small fraction of the price.

After looking around, there was nothing that Kang Dabao didn't like.

Among them is the Armor Sword Puppet series that Kang Dabao had heard of for a long time and finally got to see it today.

The head of the Kang family looked at it with envy, but unfortunately he couldn't afford it.

A sixth-level Qi training Jiajiansi type puppet costs 1,500 spirit stones, and each hour it is activated costs 20 spirit stones.

The Lugong Sect is one of the largest sects in the David Immortal Dynasty. It has more than one Nascent Soul ancestors. Even a low-level cultivator like Kang Dabao who lives in a remote corner is well-known for his fame.

The fighting abilities of puppets made by such sects are comparable to those of disciples from large sects, and are definitely far superior to those of small sects and low-level independent cultivators near Yunjiao Prefecture.

They are both at the sixth level of Qi training. If they were to face someone like Wang Daoqiong, he might be able to kill him with just one sword.

Good things are really good, and valuable things are really expensive.

These big sects have so many spirit stones that they have no place to burn them, so they open their shops in such remote places.

I heard that except for the Dingnan Niu family who gave face and made the City Lord's Mansion hold their nose and order a dozen armor sword puppets, I have never heard of the Lugong School opening another one.

But it is estimated that the compensation will not be many spirit stones. If the Dingnan Niu family has the courage to collect rent from the Lugong faction, Kang Dabao will respect their whole family as real men and will definitely take a few more chopsticks when eating at the feast of these hundreds of heroes.

Kang Dabao stared at it enviously for a while, said goodbye to the shop owner and the pretty maid at the door, and then turned around and went into the shop in Qiaogongbao to order a training robot puppet.

This mechanical puppet is pretty good. It can simulate enemies with different cultivation levels and different magic weapons below the seventh level of Qi training for disciples of the sect to fight against.

A familiar cultivator once told Kang Dabao about this kind of mechanical puppet. Master Kang had been thinking about it for a long time. After listening to the shop owner's attentive introduction, he felt very satisfied.

In addition, the shop opened by this foundation-building sect is very affordable, and the price is only 720 spirit stones, and it only costs 20 spirit stones to use it a day.

If this is the case, then Emperor Chongming can grit his teeth and use it ten times a year, not to mention that the company also provides three on-site repair services.

Kang Dabao, who was excited to see the prey, tried to operate it in the open space provided by the store, and found that the puppet was even weaker than he had imagined.

After setting up the fifth level of Qi training mode, Kang Dabao could easily defeat the puppet in just one or two rounds without holding back.

This level of strength is far inferior to that of the Lugong School's Armored Sword Puppet, and can only barely reach Wang Daoqiong's level at most.

There is no way, who doesn’t want to buy good things, but who can blame Chong Mingzong for only being able to afford cheap ones!
This was obtained by using the few remaining spirit stones and Bai Bian's flying sword as collateral, and also after a lot of effort in negotiating the price!
After buying the training robot puppet, Kang Dabao still had less spirit stones left than when he participated in the barter meeting at Niu Guier's place. It was just enough for the daily operation of the sect, and he couldn't do anything big.

As a result, the only remaining reserve fund of the Chongming Sect was the four pickled heads of the Liu brothers.

"I was born to be poor," Kang Dabao counted on his fingers for a long time while sitting in the guest room. He shook his head and sighed. He stretched himself and went to the kitchen to heat up two pork elbows to eat.

He washed his hands again, took out a pen and paper, and scribbled a letter to Yuan Jin with just seven or eight strokes. Finally, he called Duan Anle and Han Yundao, got on the donkey cart, and leisurely left the city.

"Fuck, we haven't even been to the Huang's old store and Miaoyunzhai yet!" Halfway through the journey, Kang Dabao, who was lying on the donkey cart, suddenly propped himself up and slammed the wooden board, making a loud bang.
