Chapter 25 Beware of scams in the world of immortality

Laoshanfang.

"Forty-five pieces of spiritual sand, keep them."

The dissolute middle-aged stall owner yawned, his hair was messed up in the shape of a chicken coop, and there were a few nail scratches on his face. He didn't know if he had a good night last night or not.

Chen Lin took the small bag containing the spiritual sand, and after a brief inventory, he confirmed that the quantity was correct.

Then he nodded his face and signaled to the stall owner.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then belatedly touched the scar on his face and muttered: "That bitch is too strong..."

"Little brother, do you want some talismans?"

"If you want, it's still one hundred and fifty, please..."

Chen Lin took the three stacks of blank talisman papers thrown by the stall owner and glanced at the market.

Laoshanfang is actually not very big. Apart from the stall in the west, there is only one building in the north.

There are about dozens of stores among them.

Looking from a distance, the tallest ancient building is the Qianfa Tower, and next to it are the 'Wanbao Pavilion', the 'Golden Pill Hall', and the 'Tripod Square'...

They are all famous old shops in the area.

"Let's take a half-day off today. I just want to go shopping in the store."

"Although I most likely won't be able to buy anything there."

"Just treat it like meeting the world."

Chen Lin walked towards the building to the north.

As a result, before leaving the market stall, I saw a group of people surrounding a certain position in front:

"Grandma, where's that profiteer?!"

"Who knows where this person lives? He cheated me of two spiritual stones!"

"It's no use. I've already looked for him, but he's not here..."

It’s fun to watch!

Chen Lin immediately moved over and blended in with the other monks who were also watching the fun.

In just a few words, he understood.

Someone has been tricked.

The incident of street stalls packing up and running away happened again...

This was commonplace for other monks.

But this was Chen Lin’s first time watching it, and he immediately found it interesting.

Especially listening to people around him who have had the same experience tell about their experiences of being deceived can help him improve his awareness of fraud prevention and avoid falling into some simple routines.

Even if you come to the world of immortality, you must always remember to guard against fraud!
  Everyone shared the same hatred and was cursing the unscrupulous stall owner, but suddenly someone said quietly:
  "You said that this stall owner doesn't even have a home anymore. Could it be that he has disappeared?"

"Yes, there have been so many casual cultivators who have disappeared in the past few years. Maybe he didn't run away, but just died, right?"

As soon as this guess came out, the surrounding monks showed thoughtful expressions and agreed:
  "Indeed, he may actually be dead."

"Speaking of which, he still has some unsold fakes in his house..."

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, the scene gradually cooled down.

Wait until the excitement subsides.

Chen Lin also left with the crowd and walked directly into various shops in the north.

He was wearing Master Xuanfu's apprentice clothes, and his cuffs were painted with thunder talisman patterns. From the first glance, he was not an ordinary casual cultivator, but no one looked down upon him.

Every time he goes to a store, someone will patiently answer his questions and his service attitude is excellent.

The items introduced range from the low-grade elixir Qi Gathering Pills to the middle-grade magic weapon Black Whale Moon Drop Hammer, to the high-grade rare Yang Yang Water...

It has literally everything.

"The stuff is really good!"

"However, forty-five pieces of spiritual sand are really too few."

"The desire is hard to satisfy. The more I read, the more I want to buy. I can't read any more!"

Chen Lin pinched the spiritual sand in his pocket, shook his head suddenly, and walked out of Wanbao Pavilion resolutely.

It’s not that he can’t afford it, but that he must not fall into the trap of consumerism in the world of immortality!

With his wealth, he can actually buy a lot of good things in this store.

For example, Yun Yang's medium-sized talisman paper.

All it takes is a mere twenty-five pieces of spiritual sand.

……

……

Return to the mountain with three stacks of talisman papers.

Chen Lin put it on the table casually and was about to take a rest with the spirit sand in his arms.

As a result, there was a knock on the door, and it was an "old acquaintance" who came.

"Brother Li?"

The person coming was none other than Li Tao.

He smiled faintly and was about to suggest sitting in the room, but turned around and saw three stacks of yellow talisman papers on the table. The smile suddenly stiffened.

"Junior brother Chen is still working hard to practice the talismans?"

Li Tao almost said through gritted teeth.

How could Chen Lin not know what he was thinking.

The second oldest, Li Mingzhang, has become a Taoist. The eighth oldest, Ye Xuan, has not only become a Taoist, but he has also become a practitioner of talismans.

If he, a person who had given up competition long ago in his eyes, was actually secretly practicing talisman...

Then his mentality will definitely explode!
  ……

Although I really want to see what Li Tao's face will be like then.

But Chen Lin just wanted to sleep now and was too lazy to tease him. He yawned and made it clear.

Li Tao was visibly relieved after learning the truth, and he pretended to take out a few hemostatic and healing charms, saying that he was worried about his usual injuries, so he drew them specially for him.

"Okay, thank you!"

Chen Lin couldn't help yawning. He really didn't want to hear what he had to say, so he closed the door.

If you gave me a spell before, I could still call you a gold master.

Give me a few bad spells now, and you will be considered the best if you step on the horse!
  Bah!
  Li Tao looked at the door panel close to his nose and could smell the smell of the forest. He was trembling with anger for a moment. The guy didn't even take away the talisman in his hand...

He took a deep breath, his whole body stagnated for a moment, and then he exhaled heavily.

"At least this Chen Lin really doesn't have to worry anymore. He is no different from the casual cultivators outside."

Li Tao turned and left.

Chen Lin thought that he would be able to sleep well after Li Tao left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down, people came to visit me one after another.

Moreover, the visitors were actually the fourth and fifth cousins.

Even Li Mingzhang followed closely...

The four people just stood at the door, staring at each other.

At this time, Chen Lin struggled out of his sleepiness, glanced at the expressions of the other three people, and then thought of Li Tao who had just come to the door.

I understood in a daze.

'Is this a new phase of the struggle? '

'The little demon in the temple is so powerful! '

'Can there be so many factions among eight people? '

'So progressive! You guys! ! '

Chen Lin wanted to give these motivated monsters a thumbs up.

But he himself didn't want to become a monster.

So he decided to end the game:

"Everyone, Chen recently discovered a way to make money and has already earned some spiritual stones. I wonder if you are interested?"

The three people in embarrassment instantly cast their gazes.

Chen Lin went back to the house and took out the three stacks of talisman papers he had just brought back, as well as the booklet he brought back last time, which recorded the methods of cultivating the talisman papers.

A stack was given to each of the fourth, fifth, and Li Mingzhang.

Then he showed them the method in the brochure.

"As long as you follow this method to cultivate the talisman paper, I can recycle it for you. For every ten pieces of inferior talisman paper, there are two spiritual sands. For every ten pieces of inferior talisman paper, there are two spiritual sands..."

Wait for him to finish telling the price.

The fourth child suddenly said: "But the recycling price in Laoshanfang is higher than yours, right?"

Chen Lin glanced at Lao Si in surprise, "You, a tall and fat man, are actually knowledgeable?"
  Although there was an episode.

But he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he nodded and said straightforwardly:
  "Yes, I took your talismans back to Laoshanfang, and of course I have to charge you the price difference!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Do you want to do this? This is a really effective way to make money. The more you do, the more you get, and the work is easy. For example, I only need to do three rounds a month and I can earn one and a half spiritual stones."

"I just earned back forty-five spirit sand today."

"If you don't do it, return the talisman to me. I will have to rely on it to earn spiritual stones."

silence……

In the end, Li Mingzhang is the most sensible.

He knew what Chen Lin meant.

The strong man raised his hand and returned the talisman: "I won't disturb Brother Chen."

As soon as he left, the fourth and fifth brothers also looked at each other, threw the talisman back, left and right, turned around and left.

Faintly voices could be heard coming back:
  "A madman!"

"Instead of working hard to practice drawing talismans, I went to do the work of casual cultivators in the mountains!"
