Journey to the head

Chapter 5 Shopping in the Marketplace
Since you have to spend money, you must first have money.

Lu Qian explained: "The expenses such as food, accommodation, elixirs, etc. these days are all senior sister's private money, and I don't expect it to last long. Although we want to revive the mountain gate, we must distinguish between public and private matters. These collective expenditures should naturally be paid for by the public."

Jiang Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, glanced left and right, and when he saw no one around him, he asked in a low voice: "Master? Junior brother, are you saying that you want to use the secret treasure?"

Lu Gan smiled: "Exactly, reviving the sect without spiritual stones is just a daydream. Secret treasures are only when they are used on people, and they are just a few stones if they are hidden and not used. Looking back, I changed the spiritual stones, and the senior sister put this paragraph Calculate the time spent, I will supply senior sister."

Such words are not like what Lu Gan could say in the past.Jiang Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Lu Gan carefully from head to toe. It was indeed his junior brother.

But why, in just a few days, his words, deeds, mental attitude, and demeanor have undergone earth-shaking changes?

What Lu Gan wanted to take action was the spiritual crystal in the secret cache.Spirit crystals are very rare and are the agglomeration of spirit stone veins. Based on the amount of spiritual energy stored in them, one spirit crystal is equivalent to approximately one thousand spirit stones.

However, if it is used in the manufacturing process of refining weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc., a piece of spiritual crystal will instantly produce a large amount of spiritual energy, which will have a better effect on manufacturing than 1000 Yuan spiritual stones.Therefore, when trading, a piece of spiritual crystal can often be exchanged for more spiritual stones.

However, he did not go to exchange it immediately. Instead, he found a clothing store and said with a smile: "Before we exchange the spirit stones, we have to give ourselves a new layer of skin first."

It turned out that after running and fighting all the way, the change of clothes had long been used up, and the clothes of several people were now dirty and torn.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu Gan complained to Qing Feng in a rough voice: "Mom, I said I couldn't come to practice. Master insisted on letting me go out. Now it's better. No one was caught, and I got dirty and smelly."

Turning around, he shouted at several shop assistants: "What are you doing here? Take out all your best clothes. I'm not short of money!"

The few clerks in the store originally saw the three people in shabby clothes and were a little reluctant to greet them. After hearing what Lu Gan said, they realized that it was a big customer who came to the door. They quickly came forward with smiles on their faces, and their tails were wagging in the sky. .

After leaving the store, several people were already looking brand new.

Lu Qian was wearing a crow-green narrow-sleeved gown with a crane pattern embroidered with silver thread on the chest, making him look clean and elegant.Jiang Qingfeng wears a narrow-sleeved coat with a light blue horse-faced skirt, which makes her look even more elegant and charming.Taotao put on a chest-length undershirt. Besides being cute, she also showed a bit of nobility.

I bought several additional sets of clothes and put them in storage bags.This time, 25 spirit stones were spent.Although it was Lu Qian who paid for it, Jiang Qingfeng still felt distressed. She felt that although the clothing was made of expensive materials, luxurious and beautiful, it was not a magic weapon after all, so there was no need to spend so much money.

"Besides, aren't we too eye-catching when we dress up like this?"

"Senior sister, today we not only have to exchange spiritual stones, but also have to spend a large amount of spiritual stones. Do you think, which one is more suspicious, the low-income casual cultivator who spends lavishly, or the wealthy children who spend money like water? People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, we are like this Once you wear it, you can claim to be a disciple of a famous sect, and you can trade rare items for a while without arousing suspicion. Of course, it is not appropriate to walk around the market all the time. After you finish shopping, you can just go back to the inn and change into ordinary clothes."

These words made Jiang Qingfeng nod secretly.Lu Qian asked the passers-by for their location, and then led the two of them forward.

Not long after, several people were standing in front of a three-story building.This building has eaves and brackets, high hanging lanterns, and shining golden plaques, which is very grand.There were many guests in the building and it was noisy.This is the largest weapon refining business here.

This medium-sized market has a relatively primitive business model. Various shops do both sales and acquisitions according to the categories they operate. There are no pawn shops, exchange houses, auction houses or the like.

Therefore, if you want to exchange spiritual crystals, you can only go directly to the merchants such as weapon refining, alchemy, and talisman making.Among these types of trading firms, the weapon-refining firms generally have the strongest capital, so it is also the most suitable place for exchange.

Besides, Lu Qian still needs to buy a few magic weapons.So I simply chose here to exchange for spiritual stones and spend spiritual stones at the same time.

Magical weapons are an important means for cultivators to fight with others and avoid disasters. They can be called the second life of cultivators.Qi-training monks use magic weapons, foundation-building Taoist priests use spiritual weapons, but when it comes to Jindan Zhenren, whom everyone looks up to, he begins to use magic weapons to reach heaven and earth, and is omnipotent.

Magical weapons are divided into three levels: low-level, mid-level, and high-level. The prices also vary widely. Low-level magical weapons generally cost around a hundred spiritual stones, while mid-level magical weapons rise to three to five hundred. High-level magical weapons can even cost as much as Breaking through a thousand spiritual stones.

Among the magic weapons, defensive magic weapons are more expensive, often two or three times more expensive than offensive magic weapons.Therefore, some cash-strapped Qi Practitioners cannot even afford a defensive weapon.

Among Lu Gan and others, he only had an intermediate flying sword given by his master after entering the fifth level of Qi training and reaching the middle stage of Qi training.Jiang Qingfeng was at the sixth level of Qi training and only had one mid-level bead hairpin for attack. But by chance, she got a mid-level jade pendant for defense.

When Qi Practitioners fight, some use spells, some use talismans, and some use magic weapons, but in the end, magic weapons are simple and fast, consume less spiritual energy, have good attack and defense, and are therefore the most widely used.

Whether it is to deal with possible enemies or for future battles, good magic weapons are necessary.This time Lu Gan was prepared for a heavy hemorrhage, and no matter what, he and his senior sister would have to exchange the two most powerful combatants.

Lu Qian quietly took out three spiritual crystals from the master's ring, and whispered: "Spirit crystals are still too eye-catching. With our Qi training period, taking out three at a time is enough." It’s the limit. If you exchange too much, I’m afraid it will arouse people’s suspicion. If you go into some small stores to exchange, you may even be jealous and followed.”

"Let's work together in a while and don't show any cowardice. I will play a rich kid, and my senior sister will play an unsmiling iceberg beauty. As for Taotao..."

Seeing Jiang Baitao's eager eyes, Lu Gan laughed: "Just play yourself."

With that said, he took the lead and walked into the door with his head held high.

Seeing that the three of them were dressed luxuriously, a clerk had already come forward to receive them.But after looking at a few magical artifacts, Lu Qian dismissed them and shook his head repeatedly. The shopkeeper, who had been observing for a long time, hurriedly came forward and took several people to the second floor seating area to serve tea.

Facing the shopkeeper alone, Lu Qian changed his arrogant tone, talking about my senior brother and my master, as if he was a member of a big sect.The shopkeeper didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took out the high-level magic weapons in the store and asked Lu Qian to take a look.
