Chapter 513 Another Monk

Yuchi Wu was walking in the market town with a swagger, because now the fighting between the two camps was fierce, the monks had fewer opportunities to trade. It was a rare market town, and it was crowded with people, people were squeezed together, and people were close to each other. The big man that Gu Shiyi transformed into was tall, and she had a lot of strength. She squeezed into the crowd, spread her arms to the left and right, and the monks next to her couldn't help but make way for her on both sides.

Gu Shiyi had a fox on her shoulder, looking around. She didn't come to the market to trade, but just to get information. So she went to where there were a lot of people, listening carefully, and she did get a lot of useful information.

"The Alliance will hold a monks' conference in Wanshou Mountain from time to time..."

"How... did you get the news too?"

"It was just an internal discussion at the Alliance meeting before, but now the news has been sent to all parties. Do you want to go?"

"Why not? We have been bullied by those outsiders for the past few years. Although we have the Alliance, it is still a mess. I heard that the purpose of holding the conference is to elect a leader, gather everyone's strength, and drive those outsiders out..."

"Exactly. Shall we go together then?"

"Of course we have to go together, but I heard that not everyone is qualified to participate in the monks' conference. You need a recommendation from the sect and a handwritten letter from the elders of the sect!"

"Is it?"

Gu Shiyi listened to it and thought to himself,

"The monks' conference... I would like to go, but because of the war, all local monks have adopted a real-name system. I can't get an identity that people can trust, so I can't get in!"

Gu Shiyi listened to the conversations of the monks for a while. They were either talking about the monks' conference or about the invaders occupying a certain spiritual mine or a certain spiritual mountain. After listening to it so much, he felt that the overall strength of the monks on this continent was not as good as that of the outsiders, and they were being beaten everywhere!

Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"The spiritual energy over there is so thin that it is extremely bleak, so the cultivators are all worried about themselves. In order to survive and seek the great way, they rack their brains and think of all kinds of crooked ways. In comparison, the cultivators here are pampered and are like flowers in a greenhouse. Moreover, their inheritance has been interrupted, so they are naturally no match for the opponent's endless tricks in a fight. They will really suffer a lot after the confrontation!"

After walking around for a while and hearing enough, he found a teahouse and sat down. This kind of teahouse opened in the cultivation market, and even the waiter was a cultivator in the Qi training stage. He came over and asked with a smile,

"Fellow Daoist, what do you want? We have Tianshan Spiritual Tea here, one pot costs one Spiritual Stone, and we also have Green Lotus Dew from Bixian Lake, one pot costs three Spiritual Stones..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Give me a pot of spiritual tea!"

"okay!"

The waiter went to get the spiritual tea and served it, and poured a cup for Gu Shiyi himself. Gu Shiyi looked down and saw that the tea was clear yellow in color, with a fresh fragrance and a faint spiritual energy floating around. + If ordinary people drink a cup, some colds and flu will be cured immediately. If a monk drinks it, it will also have some benefit, but it is very slight, so just think of it as a health supplement!
Gu Shiyi pointed at the fox on his shoulder and said to the waiter,

"Do you have any fresh fruits or something? Get me some..."

The waiter smiled and said,

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to feed your spirit pet? We do have spirit animal food from the Liuyu Sect. One bag costs five spirit stones..."

Gu Shiyi clicked his tongue when he heard this.

“Why is their food more expensive than mine?”

The waiter smiled and said,

"Although a spirit pet is a beast, it is also a loyal partner when you fight against the enemy. Shouldn't it be fed better?"

"You're right... indeed!"

Having said that, it would be inappropriate not to buy it!

Gu Shiyi glanced at the fox standing on her shoulder, so she drank a pot of tea while the fox ate a bag of dried meat. It cost her six lower-level spirit stones in total, and Gu Shiyi felt a little pained.

"Most of our wealth is with Yan'er. I only have some earthly gold and silver items, but very few spirit stones. It looks like I have to find a way to get some spirit stones!"

how to do?
Gu Shiyi hadn't made up his mind yet, but he drank a pot of tea and was about to get up and leave when he saw a smiling bald monk with a big belly sitting opposite him.
"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, do you know if I could be sitting here?"

Gu Shiyi looked him up and down. In this market, one cannot use spiritual sense to randomly scan people. This is the rule. However, she could see the faint Buddha light coming from the back of the monk's head. Monks who can cultivate Buddha light are all at a high level, at least at the Nascent Soul stage. She nodded immediately.

"Whatever you want, big monk, I'm just about to leave!"

The monk heard this and quickly spread his hands to stop him.
"My fellow Taoist, to be honest, I came here specifically to look for you. I wonder if you could sit down and talk to me?"

"Oh……"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows,
"Master, what do you want from me? Let me tell you first. I am not a Buddhist, and I don't have any money to donate..."

"Ha ha……"

The fat monk smiled.
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. Thousands of great ways finally become one. Be it Taoism or Buddhism, the Way of Heaven is the right way. It doesn't matter which way you enter!"

Gu Shiyi nodded upon hearing this.

"Well... you are right, Master Monk. Then I will talk to you about a spiritual stone!"

So he sat back in his original seat. The big monk was also very sensible. He turned around and called the waiter.

"Please bring a pot of green lotus dew..."

When the Green Lotus Dew was served on the table, the monk poured a cup for Gu Shiyi and then poured a cup for himself. After they drank from their cups, Gu Shiyi said,
"Master, now that you've had your tea, isn't it time to talk?"

The monk smiled and said,
"My fellow Taoist, I am Jiunan. You can just call me Jiunan..."

Nine difficulties? Gu Shiyi lowered his head involuntarily when he heard this, and glanced at the storage bag hanging around his waist, in which was placed the demon-subduing pestle.
Ten Commandments?

Nine difficulties?

Is this from the same family?

Gu Shiyi said,
"So it's Master Jiunan. I wonder where you are practicing and which temple you are a senior monk in?"

"Amitabha! I have been traveling around the world without any temples or monasteries. Now I am a small deacon in the Alliance!"

"Oh... so you're a master from the alliance. My apologies!"

After that, Jiunan bowed and said with a smile,

"I came to look for you because I heard that you have a magical herb that is more than a thousand years old. I wonder if you would be willing to give it up?"

"Well..."

Gu Shiyi pondered and thought to himself,
"Just now when I was talking about how to earn spirit stones, someone came to trade with me. There are a lot of thousand-year-old spirit herbs in the medicine garden, so I can sell him one or two. He is also a deacon in the alliance, so I think he can find out some things about the alliance. But now I am using someone else's identity, so I am afraid that if I say something wrong, I will be exposed!"

After thinking for a while he said,

"I do have the spiritual herbs you mentioned, but they are very expensive!"

Say a high price to scare the monk and see if he is sincere!
The monk's smile remained unchanged.
"Please tell me a price..."

"This spiritual herb of mine costs 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones!"

"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones?"

Monk Jiunan frowned.
"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones is not a small amount. I wonder if you can let me inspect the goods?"

Gu Shi nodded,

"Of course you can..."

I looked around.
"But there are too many people here!"

Monk Jiunan thought for a moment and said,

"If you feel at ease, you can follow me to the shop opened by the alliance to have a chat..."

"This one……"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and shook his head.

"I am not reassured..."

Her unconventional conversation confused Monk Jiunan, who didn't know how to respond for a moment. Then he heard Gu Shiyi say,
"How about this... There are too many people in the market, and I don't want to attract attention. Let's meet in the city tomorrow..."

Monk Jiunan thought for a moment and said,

"That's fine..."

So the two agreed to meet at Kelailou in the small town tomorrow. After the discussion, Gu Shiyi took Fox out of the market and left Liao's Teahouse. Fox then asked,

"Gu Shiyi, why did you ask him to meet outside the market tomorrow?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and took the king out of his bag.

"We are in need of spiritual stones, so we would like to do business with the monk. However, I only have one spiritual herb in my hand, and I can't really sell it. I have to find a chance to get a spiritual herb from the medicine garden!"

The fox then remembered that Gu Shiyi didn't have the real magic herb in his hand. The king shook his body and turned back into the white and fat child. He hung around Gu Shiyi's neck and said in a baby voice,

"Gu Shiyi, I'll go help you pick them. I'm familiar with all the grass in the garden..."

Gu Shiyi nodded and ordered,
"Don't make it too good, one that's about two or three thousand years old will do. The species can't be too rare, just make an ordinary one..."

The king nodded,

"Okay! I know, don't worry!"

Gu Shiyi turned back into the widow who carried a load on her shoulder and sold wontons everywhere. She returned home with her son and the dog. The old couple were a little surprised to see her come back so early.

"My son, business is not good today, why did you come back so early?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"Mom, you're wrong. Business was so good today that we sold out early, so I came back early!"

The old woman was delighted to hear this.
"Oh, by the way, Auntie Zhong from next door said that there are a lot more merchants coming and going in the city these days. I guess it's the season for buying furs, so there are more people coming!"

This small town is adjacent to the wilderness, and in the past there were mortal merchants who would settle here and then go to the edge of the wilderness to trade with the civilized barbarians, using silver, salt, cloth and the like to trade with the barbarians for animal skins, bones and other items. However, due to the wars among the cultivators in recent years, the number of mortal merchants has decreased a lot.

Gu Shi nodded and said,
"That's right, my wontons are delicious and famous, even people from other places know about it!"

The old woman came over and took over her burden with concern, while the old man picked up his little grandson and went inside.
"Let's go, grandpa made you a small wooden gun, let's go play with it!"
