I'm brushing proficiency in the realm of comprehension

Chapter 53 Cow chewing peony
After breakfast, Ma Yang took the little brothers of the Sky Surveyor and began to patrol the East Street.

This main street alone is more than ten miles long.

There are also many small alleys at forked intersections. During the day, there are two teams walking back and forth on one street, and at night, each team takes turns.

It's not heavy work, but things are still quite complicated.

Disputes between monks and monks, disputes between monks and mortals, disputes between buyers and sellers, they have to try to mediate, and if they can't, they will bring them back to Xuntiansi.

Zhou You was busy going out of the city to practice marksmanship, so he didn't have time to work with them.

As he said, the city is under the control of the Sky Surveyor, and the outside of the city is under his control.

……

In the Qinglian Mountains.

Zhou You's spear turned into a fire dragon and stabbed a first-order bear demon to death.

Although the battle was not long, marksmanship proficiency did not increase.

But this pair of bear paws, my daughter-in-law must be happy when she sees them.

Zhou You happily put the bear demon into the storage bag, and asked, "Boss, are there any second-level monsters in this area?"

"I didn't see anything, why don't you go in again?" The girl asked with a smile.

She felt that Zhou You didn't have the guts to drill into the Qinglian Mountains.

After walking another two or three hundred miles, there will be not only first and second-rank monsters, but occasionally a third-rank monster will pop out.

Sure enough, Zhou You immediately shook his head and rejected the idea, "I'd better go east."

It’s okay to walk horizontally, but it’s absolutely impossible to go deeper!
Safety first, I am definitely not cowardly when traveling around!

After walking more than a hundred miles to the east, Zhou You found today's first Tier [-] monster, which was a beautiful piebald leopard.

Zhou You glanced at it for a while, then directly swung his gun and killed him.

He was wearing a top-grade dharma robe, coupled with a middle-grade Vajra Talisman amulet, and after spending so many days in the Qinglian Mountains, he was not afraid of second-order monsters at all.

Marksmanship proficiency +1
Marksmanship proficiency +1
……

It was not until dusk that Zhou You got up and returned to Qingshan County.

Today, compared to the past, there is no time to rest.

He ran wildly the whole time, and only killed three second-order monsters. He even fought to restore his spiritual power, and he was very tight on time.

"Maybe I really have to go inside in a few days." Zhou You shook his head, feeling that there were no strong characters in this area.

In fact, this is also due to the fact that Tier [-] and Tier [-] monsters are not particularly strong, the growth cycle is not too long, and there are a lot of stocks deep in the mountains.

Otherwise, the ecological chain must have problems.

Of course, the number of monks who die in the Qinglian Mountains every year is by no means small.

Either eaten by monsters or killed by monks, the number of deaths in these two situations should be about the same every year.

There were quite a few monks and mortals returning from outside the city in the evening, and there were 50 to [-] people waiting in line.

When he arrived at the city gate, Zhou You didn't wait in line to register.

He walked up to the guards, waved Xun Tiansi's badge, wrote his name on the register, and entered the city.

At any rate, he is considered one of his own, and this small privilege can still be enjoyed.

After entering the city gate, Zhou You put away his spear, walked by the small stalls on the street while watching, and walked forward.

These stalls, regardless of whether the stall owners are monks or mortals, are not simply spread out with white cloth.

Whether it is the Xuntiansi Yamen or the Qingshan County Yamen, they are all under management.

The officials will pick out places on the street in front of various buyers and sellers, draw a frame, and the stalls will be inside this frame.

If you want to sell something, you have to report it to the Yamen Gate and get a paperwork.

This also involves subsequent tax issues, which are generally three to five points, which is lower than the tax of regular stores.

Or if it is said that there are a lot of troubles in the Sky Survey Division team, they usually have to watch the stalls of these monks in the city.

"Three questions about Qi refining, what is this?" After walking a few steps, Zhou You looked at a booklet and asked the stall owner in doubt.

The owner of this booth is a red-faced man in his fifties, a monk in the Qi refining period, and he doesn't look very smart...

"This is written by myself. There are many things that need to be paid attention to during the qi refining period." The stall owner was very satisfied when he talked about the three questions about qi refining.

"Is it related to cultivation?" Zhou You looked strangely, and glanced at the proud stall owner.

"That's natural. I've been trapped in the late stage of Qi refining for many years. Although I haven't been able to break through this level of cultivation, no one knows more about this Qi refining period than I do."

The stall owner uttered big words, and many people gathered around.

"Is this booklet really useful?"

"I don't think so."

……

There are old and young people talking around, all of them are in the Qi refining period.

"Everyone, you can't buy a copy of a spirit stone!"

"There are many of them, the experience I have summed up over the years!" The stall owner immediately yelled vigorously when he saw more people.

Zhou You was just curious, and he didn't waste his money to buy some kind of Qi Refining Manual.

He walked out of the crowd and went to the booth next to him.

This is a stall selling antique calligraphy and paintings, and the owner of the stall is an elderly man.

No matter what the era background is, what cultivation level division, there are always some literati.

The old man who was the owner of the stall was sitting on a ponytail, shaking his head and looking at the book in his hand. His expression was really, as happy as he could be.

Zhou You squatted in front of the booth, looked at the thick novel called "The Merry Fairy" in the other party's hand, grinned, and then flipped through the calligraphy and paintings on the booth.

The book Merry Fairy is quite famous.

There are hundreds of short stories of various colors in it, and the characters are all fabricated monks and fairies. The content is exciting and substantial!

When my predecessor was a teenager, he worked in a shop during the day, and when he came home at night, he would sleep with this book in his arms.

Zhou You believes that this book has helped most people through the period of hard struggle.

The book itself is nothing special, ordinary people can buy it with money, it is the most widely circulated welfare novel in this cultivation world.

"Old man, how do you sell this painting?" Zhou You raised his head and asked while holding a scroll in his hand.

"Five low-grade spirit stones." The old man said, and then turned his head to read.

"Old Zhao, if you sell things like this, no one will buy them, and you won't introduce them." The cultivator next to him, who was selling Qi Refining and Three Questions, finally finished his work, and stood aside to persuade him.

"I bought this painting." Zhou You took out five spirit stones, got up and left.

The old man didn't see any storage bag on his waist either. He directly reached out and put the spirit stone on the stall into his arms, and then continued to read the book with relish.

He was just seeing a fairy from a certain sect untied her skirt, and now that it was a wonderful moment, she didn't care about others at all.

The Qi Refining Cultivator at the booth next to him was stunned when he saw someone readily paying the bill to buy a painting. After he realized it, he stood behind the old man and read the books together.

"Old Zhao, turn the page quickly, turn the page quickly!"

"Don't worry, the cow chews the peony!"
