Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 229 Throwing bait and fishing

Because many casual cultivators are dissatisfied with the prices of shops in the market, they simply occupy a random place here and set up stalls to sell things.

The method is extremely primitive and wild.

There are monster meat, elixirs, precious spiritual ores, etc.

Just throw it there in plain sight, and then put a sign next to it with the price marked on it.

A noisy and crowded free trading market has formed.

After all, everything in the store is sold at a low price, and when sold, the price is raised as much as possible.

After being deceived several times, some savvy casual cultivators will no longer sell things directly to stores.

Instead, they will choose to sell first in the square.

It's just that the monks selling things here are uneven, and if you don't have a good sense, you will be more easily deceived.

Although the items in the store are priced relatively high, the quality is basically guaranteed and guaranteed to a certain extent.

For example, there was once a casual cultivator who was greedy for cheap and spent a hundred spiritual stones to buy ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills.

In the end, I discovered that almost all of them were useless pills, and only a few pills were edible.

If purchased in a store, ten bottles of Qi Gathering Pills would cost at least 130 spiritual stones.

In order to get a little advantage, I ended up being cheated.

There are countless examples of this happening.

The biggest difference between Youyangfang City and Zongmenfang City, where Luo Yan once stayed, is that there are almost no mortals here.

They are all monks!

The cities within the territory of Five Elements View are all set up in mortal cities.

It is a typical city within a city.

The fundamental reason is that there are many mountains and forests in the southern region, and there are many kinds of beasts in them.

When alien beasts attack the city, the monks in the city within the city can come out in time to kill the alien beasts.

It can protect the lives of ordinary mortals to the greatest extent.

Because the population of the Southern Territory is too small.

The number of mortals determines the basis for the birth of a monk.

That's why in the Southern Territory, mortal lives are taken so seriously.

Moreover, most of the southern regions are desolate mountains and forests, which contain extremely ferocious and terrifying beasts.

It is almost impossible for ordinary mortal tribes to survive in the wild forests of the Southern Region.

Therefore, for the sake of the sect's inheritance, it became natural for the monks of the large sects to protect mortals.

The Western Region is completely different.

There are no vast forests here, except for a few restricted areas.

Most of the places have been divided up by sects and families of all sizes.

There are not enough resources to serve as a habitat for high-level alien beasts.

The number of monster beasts will become scarce, and it will be greatly difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to obtain cultivation resources.

Because there were no monsters for them to hunt, they had to pick the elixirs.

Therefore, most casual cultivators must rely on various families and sects if they want to obtain cultivation resources.

But the monks from these families and sects don't have many cultivation resources, so how can they care about the lowest-level casual cultivators.

As for the four methods of obtaining resources in the world of cultivation: talismans, formations, elixirs, magic weapons, etc.

All require a certain threshold.

And this threshold is not generally high.

Not only is the investment huge in the early stage, but it also requires a certain amount of talent to achieve certain results.

But for most casual cultivators, they don’t have half a spiritual stone, and even a clever woman can’t make a meal without rice.

Based on this situation, there is a soil for the survival of demonic monks and evil cultivators.

If the resources in the cultivation world are not enough, then just grab them directly.

Therefore, in most places in Cangwu Realm, the more stable the large sects are, the more casual cultivators there are, and the more demonic cultivators and evil cultivators there are.

Like a parasite, firmly parasitizing on these sects.

There are also some casual cultivators who will subconsciously gather in places with abundant resources.

For example, it's close to wild forests like the Southern Territory.

Therefore, although the land of the Western Region is very suitable for human habitation.

In this foreign land in the Western Region, humanity flourishes and there are countless mortal kingdoms.

The probability of monks being born is also higher than in the Southern Territory, but more often they are miscellaneous spiritual roots such as four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots with poor qualifications.

Not to mention the low cultivation speed, most sects do not recruit such disciples with miscellaneous spiritual roots.

So he could only become a casual cultivator.

As the number of casual cultivators increases, naturally all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant.

Evil cultivators and demon cultivators do not simply rely on spiritual stones or elixirs, but only need to devour other people's blood and souls to advance.

This has become the choice of some casual cultivators.

Demonic monks, except for a few demonic cultivating holy places.

The disciple's inheritance method relies on this method.

Extremely hidden!

There are only a few mortals in the Southern Territory, let alone monks, and the number of natural demonic monks is even smaller.

And it is adjacent to the wilderness, where there are countless monsters to hunt.

As long as you are brave enough, you don’t have to worry about running out of cultivation resources.

This is why Luo Yan rarely heard of demonic monks when he was in the sect.

Moreover, the monks in the Southern Territory are notorious for being extremely xenophobic.

Once a foreign sect plans to move, it will only squeeze the soil of the sect that originally lived here.

The Heavenly Demon Palace in the depths of the wilderness had established boundaries with the major sects in the Southern Region thousands of years ago.

This is the reason why no matter how the sects in the Southern Region evolve and go through thousands of years, there are only five super sects.

But places outside the Southern Territory are different.

When there are more mortals, there will be differences between immortals and mortals, as well as good and evil.

The monks of big and small families and sects are righteous, but if they don't obey their arrangements, they are evil!

So the mortals here seek immortality and fear it!

The core area of ​​Youyangfang City is controlled by several small sects' trading houses.

The entire protective formation outside Fangshi and the rules of Fangshi were led by these companies and then formulated.

Because the location of this place is relatively remote, it already belongs to the border area of ​​the Western Region.

Therefore, the overall strength of the monks in Youyangfang City is actually not very high.

The person with the highest cultivation level here is only two years old, the slightly older Jindan stage elder is in charge.

It's a typical example of living in another place, eating and drinking, and waiting to die.

In addition to regularly arranging his subordinates to collect rent from residents and shops in the city, he hardly meddles in any other business on weekdays.

Even if the sound of fighting outside Fang City is shocking, as long as there is no fierce fighting inside Fang City.

They won't care.

As a result, fighting broke out very frequently outside Youyangfang City.

Various bloody incidents such as robberies, robberies, and sneak attacks occurred frequently.

However, the location here is close to the wilderness veins of the Southern Territory and is rich in monster resources. It is a very good hunting place.

Therefore, there are very many casual cultivators who come to Youyangfang City to hunt monsters and live here.

Once there are more people, there will be more right and wrong.

In order to practice cultivation, some people go to the wilderness to hunt monsters from dawn to dusk.

Some people simply set their sights on the monks who travel inside and outside the city.

Since Luo Yan stepped into Youyangfang City, in just a moment, he found that there were more than a dozen eyes with inexplicable emotions staying on him for a long time. Every word has a malicious look.

Because his spiritual puppet body was blessed with several breath-condensing spells, even ordinary foundation-building monks couldn't see through it.

Not to mention these casual cultivators with low cultivation levels.

Luo Yan ignored these malicious glances and walked straight to several shops in the central area.

“Is the customer buying or selling?”

“If you’re buying, go to the left, and if you’re selling, go to the right.”

This is a shop called ‘Empty Cicada Valley’.

The moment you entered the door, the receptionist monk specifically informed you.

Kongchan Valley is a little-known small sect in the Western Region.

The sect was founded by a Jindan monk, and the store was named directly after the sect.

Almost all the shops are personally supervised by disciples from Kong Chan Valley.

Luo Yan walked to the sales area on the left and looked around.

This is a shop that sells various spiritual materials, talismans, and magical instruments.

In the southeast corner on the left side of the hall, there is also a special display counter.

Used to sell some elementary skills and secret techniques.

Luo Yan briefly scanned around the hall, his eyes lightly passing over the jade slips introducing magic spells, without even intending to stop.

A basic Five Elements Magic Jade Slip is priced at thirty spiritual stones.

It’s ridiculously expensive!

And it is still an entry-level thorn technique.

I don't know if there are any better spells, or they haven't been placed yet.

There were several Qi Refining minors standing in front of the display cabinet, and they seemed quite satisfied with this type of technique.

The Kongchan Valley disciple standing behind the display cabinet didn't say anything and just stood there quietly.

The jade slips in the store are all clearly marked with prices. If you want to buy them, just give them to Lingshi directly.

As for the purchase of magical instruments or talismans, as long as you mention it, there will be corresponding people to receive it.

The second floor of the store is a secret room.

Generally, you need to be a monk in the foundation building stage, or to sell or collect something of relatively high value, in order to go to the secret room on the second floor.

Because it was opened by the sect, the reception attitude of these disciples was not very warm.

The only advantage is safety and a certain guarantee.

Don't worry about the problem of black and white, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, jade slips and so on.

All on the level.

"I want to sell a high-grade magic weapon!"

Finally, after staying for a short moment, Luo Yan looked hesitant, as if he was weighing something.

He deliberately lowered his voice, but it was still enough for people in a small area to hear.

"Okay, guest, please come with me!"

The disciples of Kongchan Valley reacted quickly, and someone immediately came out to receive him, no longer as lazy as before.

In fact, they had already noticed this strange Taoist in Qingyi.

His eyes were out of focus, and he was completely uninterested in the things displayed on the counter, but he did not leave the store.

It's very much like there is an ulterior motive.

Now I finally understand that I am here to sell things.

That's why the posture he showed was rather weird.

They have seen too many people like this and are completely wary of everyone.

Don't trust anyone.

Worried that others will steal the treasure in his hands.

After a while, Luo Yan walked out of the shop holding the spiritual stones for sale of high-grade magical instruments.

But this time, there were more people staring at him from behind.

Luo Yan seemed completely unaware that he was being followed from the moment he entered Fangshi.

He continued his own style, pretending to be cautious and entered several other shops funded by private individuals or small families.

From the moment he entered these stores, he was warmly received.

It's completely different from the lazy attitude at the Kongchan Valley store before.

Every time, Luo Yan would take out a high-grade magic weapon from his storage bag and sell it for less than 800 spiritual stones.

Then he did the same thing again.

Located near the central area of ​​the square, he deliberately came to sell a magic weapon in a seemingly regular shop.

Basically, they are all high-grade instruments, and a few of them are medium-grade instruments.

This time, more people paid attention to him.

However, those people were very careful. They all watched from a distance and did not approach directly.

As if afraid of disturbing the big fat sheep.

Luo Yan himself still didn't react at all and continued to wander around various shops.

In the smaller store, he did not sell magic weapons.

But from time to time, he pretends to accidentally take out something, sometimes a few rare spiritual fruits.

Several high-grade elixirs in good condition, etc., Luo Yan was like a big bag, constantly taking things out and taking them out to exchange for spiritual stones.

And he always does it a little bit, deliberately pretending to be very careful.

This also led to more and more people noticing him.

After all, monks who can survive in the city have their own logic of viewing people.

Luo Yan, a newcomer like this, looks like a fledgling, a typical big fat sheep!

As the number of stores going in and out increased, Luo Yan also discovered a very interesting fact.

That is, the larger the store is, the less spiritual stones he will receive when selling these things.

When selling to shops opened by small families or individual monks, the prices they offer are often slightly higher.

In fact, the quality of these magical instruments is quite good.

After all, they all came from outside the previous different space.

Those unlucky ones who wanted to attack him, but were instantly restrained by him, the contents of their storage bags.

Even though they couldn't survive a single breath in Luo Yan's hands.

But those few people are basically casual cultivators with foundation-building level cultivation.

The quality of the magical artifacts left in the storage bag was, of course, barely acceptable.

More than an hour passed, and Luo Yan had browsed almost all the shops in Youyangfang City.

Look at the remaining bits and pieces in these storage bags.

He has no use for all kinds of low-level talismans, elixirs, and the like.

Luo Yan looked straight ahead.

There is a quaint three-story attic there, which looks low-key, but is actually the largest store in Youyangfang City.

It occupies quite a lot of space.

This is also his last stop today.

That’s about it for bait.

Luo Yan thinks that he is a good person and will not hurt innocent people indiscriminately.

However, when studying thunder spells, damage is inevitable.

Whether it is the dissection of the monks' flesh and blood or the embedding of those lightning runes, it is inseparable from a large number of living experiments.

So Luo Yan thought of using this method to lure those with bad intentions into action.

When the time comes for him to take action, there won't be a particularly big psychological burden.
