I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 14 Become a Taoist Companion
Accompanied by Chen Yuankang, a well-known mid-to-late Qi training master in the Eastern District, today's trip to the outer city market did not have a lot of prying eyes.

"Xiao Li, the market is basically safe. Just don't go to places with few people. I have to go to the Danding Pavilion to pick up some tasks. We will gather here afterwards. If I don't come, you'd better not go back by yourself. This time is not peaceful." When he came to the market, Chen Yuankang gave a warning, and headed towards the Danding Pavilion on his own.

Li Jizhou nodded slightly, remembering the attack on the Danding Pavilion guards in the first quarter news.

It turned out that Chen Yuankang was injured at that time.

He had to lament that in this incident, it was said that the elders of Danding Pavilion Dharma Guardians were no match for Jiexiu, and they fled far away for their lives. He never thought that Chen Yuankang would be able to save his life under the masters of the Foundation Establishment Period.

Saying goodbye to Chen Yuankang, Li Jizhou took a stroll around the market as usual, sold the storage bags of the man and woman half a year ago at the street stall, and then asked about the price of the talismans.

"Has the price of primary talismans increased?"

When asked about the overall market price, Li Jizhou had a keen sense that there must be something wrong.

Generally speaking, primary talismans have weak functions, low prices, and stable supply and demand. It is basically difficult to increase the price except for a short-term increase in the population of low-level monks that brings the market up.

But now the price of primary talismans in the market has increased by nearly [-]%.

The most important thing is that in the entire market, the price of elementary talismans has increased, while the prices of other talismans have not changed.

"Could it be that a lot of low-level monks have poured in from the Hanging Mountain recently?"

"The incident of evil cultivators in the last quarter was just exposed, why are there still a large number of low-level cultivators running over?"

Judging from the increase in the price of talismans, the monks who have increased in large numbers recently should all be in the junior and middle stages of Qi training.

He didn't have a clue at the moment, but his experience in the practice world of more than 200 years in his previous life told him that something must have happened.

He was not in a hurry to go to the store to sell talismans, but went to the Tianji Pavilion in the inner city first.

The one who received him was the nun from last time.
"Li Daoyou, it's a pleasure to meet you, what do you need this time?"

Li Jizhou took out the jade talisman, but did not express his intention directly.

"I would like to ask, if I want to upgrade from a quarterly report to a monthly report, how much will I need to add?"

"Li Daoyou, for the quarterly report, we get four spirit stones a year, and for the monthly report, we get twelve spirit stones a year. But for the sake of old customers, I can personally apply for a discount with the steward. If it succeeds, the minimum can be ten spirit stones. Considering that half a year has passed, Li Daoyou only needs to pay four more spirit stones this year." The female nun explained skillfully.

"I don't know how the monthly report compares to the quarterly report. In terms of content..." Li Jizhou pondered slightly.

"Li Daoyou, you are also a regular customer of ours. You have read our mansion newspaper twice. I believe you are quite satisfied with the content of our mansion newspaper."

"Exactly."

"Compared with quarterly reports, monthly reports are mainly time-sensitive. Secondly, some things will be more detailed, and you can see the details."

"Is there a ready-made monthly report? Let me have a look and compare it, so that I can decide whether to upgrade the monthly report." Li Jizhou tentatively asked.

The female cultivator at the reception smiled slightly, and took out a jade talisman from the storage bag: "According to the rules, we have no such precedent, but for old customers, I am personally willing to meet the needs of fellow daoists. Here is the monthly report for this month. Please take a look."

Li Jizhou smiled slightly, took the jade talisman and checked it.

[The several avenues in the center of the inverted mountain are recruiting disciples, and they are suspected of forming forces. 】

That short sentence made Li Jizhou slightly distracted.

The inverted mountain is divided into four parts from the inside to the outside.

The core is naturally the ruins of Lei Yanzong suppressed by the top of the upside-down mountain, and now it has become a ring-shaped Feiyue Lake with a vast circle of tens of miles.

However, because of the deterrent big characters left by the four Daoist priests on the inverted mountain, it is difficult for ordinary people to get close, let alone stay for a long time, so there are almost no people in this area.

However, every month, there are quite a few pretentious monks who want to try how hard their lives are, and in the end, their corpses float on the surface of the lake, becoming the food of fish and beasts in the lake.

Outside Feiyue Lake is the best dojo where you can live and practice in the inverted mountain. During Lei Yanzong's time, the quasi-fourth-order spiritual veins have been refined by a large number of casual cultivators in recent years. Now they have degenerated to third-order spiritual veins, and they are still declining.

The people living here are all casual cultivators, and it is said that there are several true alchemy masters who have subconsciously cultivated here.

The area surrounds Feiyue Lake, which is fifty miles long, and there are hundreds of dojos!

Known as the inverted mountain dojo area.

Besides, there is the Inner City of the Upside-Down Mountain, where most of the masters from the late stage of Qi training to the stage of foundation building are located, and it is also the area with the most frequent casual practice activities.

The outermost part is the outer city, and Li Jizhou lives in the slums in the outermost part of the outer city.

Over the past 800 years, the four characters "There is no owner here" engraved on the inverted mountain by Taoist Moli with the power of transforming the gods, no one dares to claim the owner of the inverted mountain so far.

There is no separatist regime!
But now, several bigwigs in the central dojo have started recruiting disciples!
"Could it be that they want to challenge Mo Li's majesty?"

"impossible!"

Li Jizhou knows very well how much experience is required for a casual cultivator to become a real person.

There is no such thing as a fool!
Even the Three Sects and Five Aristocratic Families kept them at arm's length, and they didn't dare to covet them. How dare these casual cultivators?

And even if you really want to dominate the inverted mountain, you shouldn't recruit the bottom of Qi training.

Recruited as cannon fodder?

"Cannon fodder?" Suddenly, Li Jizhou felt something in his heart, but he didn't have enough information, and he couldn't grasp the clue.

However, he can already be sure that there will be no major disturbances in Daoxuan Mountain for the time being.

"What's the plan of these big guys in the dojo?"

His thoughts were fruitless, and Li Jizhou didn't ask the female cultivator of Tianji Pavilion.

They may not know this secret.

After finding an excuse to decline the matter of upgrading the quarterly report, Li Jizhou came to the Wanfu Pavilion in the outer city again.

After some inquiries, the price trajectory of Wanfu Pavilion's primary talisman seal became more obvious.

The prices of daily necessities such as cleaning talismans and prohibition talismans have risen significantly.

This shows that there are indeed a lot of casual cultivators at the bottom.

The price of offensive talismans such as golden knife talisman and blood dart talisman increased slightly.

The prices of defensive talismans such as golden bell talismans have risen significantly.

The prices of life-saving auxiliary talismans such as smart talismans and hidden talismans have risen significantly.

Having figured it out, Li Jizhou sold some of the talisman seals he had drawn in the past six months.

However, the few talisman seals that have increased significantly have not been sold, and now it is just the beginning, and the price of the latter talisman seals will definitely rise even more.

He has already made a conclusion in his mind, and he will focus on drawing these types of talisman seals after returning home, and temporarily postpone the upgrade to the first-tier intermediate talisman master.

When Li Jizhou sold out the talismans and seals, bought the necessities of life, and returned to the place agreed with Chen Yuankang, Chen Yuankang had already been waiting for a long time.

"Senior Chen, I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, there's nothing left or right!" Chen Yuankang's mood at this time was much more depressed than when he first came here.

Li Jizhou didn't ask, and silently followed behind him back to his residence.

"quack~"

As soon as the two of them pushed open the courtyard door, a frog as big as a millstone jumped over.

I haven't seen it in two years, and the frog has doubled in size!
Guagua didn't pay much attention to Chen Yuankang, but just moved closer to Li Jizhou's feet and poked his head at the corner of his clothes.

"This little bastard has been upgraded, it's really unreasonable!" With a sigh, Chen Yuankang ignored Guagua's eyes that wanted to eat him, and leaned on the recliner in the yard alone, staring at the clouds in the sky with a lonely face.

"Gua~" Guagua used his tongue to roll out half of the dead animal from its big mouth, and placed it at Li Jizhou's feet.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a raccoon marten in the middle of the first order!
Although the raccoon mink is only a monster in the middle stage of the first level, it is superior in speed and spirituality. Eating its brain can enhance the soul, and eating its flesh can increase agility. It is the favorite soul meat of many Qi training monks, but ordinary monks really can't catch it!
Li Jizhou looked at Quack strangely, and he knew his talent in his heart, it should be his specialty in speed and spiritual sense!

I have lived for more than 200 years in my previous life, and I have never seen a beast master raising frogs.

So he has never been very clear about the innate characteristics of Quack.

"Little beast, don't come back yet!" At this moment, a loud roar came from the house.

Immediately, Xu Mei, who had been away for two years, came out with the same ugly appearance.

"Senior Xu." Li Jizhou hastily bowed in greeting.

Guagua was startled, and hurriedly ran to Xu Mei's side.

Xu Mei prepared to go back to her room without even looking at Li Jizhou.

"Senior Xu, this..." Li Jizhou pointed to the half raccoon mink on the ground.

"Hmph, I gave you this little bastard, do you want me to take it back?" Xu Mei snorted coldly.

At this moment, Chen Yuankang suddenly turned to look at Xu Mei.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, if not, let's form a Taoist couple!"
