Dao fruit.

"No money?"

Although Hu Qi's words were euphemistic, Qiu Yan still grasped the point at once.

Regardless of previous life or this life, as long as there is a saying in human society, there is always something wrong——

Without money, it is difficult to move an inch.

The money for Qiu Yan and others was what he earned from selling calligraphy in Dongdu back then, and it was a lot of money, but along the way, the ordinary expenses were nothing more than a few accidents, and the expenses were not small. After the medicinal materials are finally exhausted.

Of course, for monks like Qiu Yan and Hu Qi, it is not difficult to get money, but it is inconvenient in Xingjing, and it is after the exam and before the announcement of the list, so you need to be cautious Acting, so there are not many ways to make money in a short period of time.

However, Qiu Yan did not show any surprise about this, as if he had expected it for a long time. While listening to Hu Qi's words, he also maintained the connection between his mind and Xingjing's will, and at the same time vibrated the muscles, bones and membranes, causing the power of the medicine to attack the limbs and bones. Diffusion, replenishing energy and blood consumption.

Most of these medicinal materials are common things, but when combined, the medicinal power can be called a tonic.

The bowl brought by Hu Qi contains a huge amount of medicinal materials, which is enough for ordinary people to eat for ten days and a half months. If ordinary people swallow it in one gulp, they will inevitably suffer from it instead of nourishing it. Although Qiu Yan's breath is weak, his fundamental Putting it there, the seven souls transforming into emptiness pills can certainly bear it.

However, although the medicinal materials are extremely heavy, they can barely replenish the Qi and blood that Qiu Yan has consumed, which seems insufficient.

In fact, Qiu Yan has a better choice, such as the jade pendant on his waist, which contains surging qi and blood, which can strengthen muscles and bones and supplement consumption, but it comes from the acquired power of the demon king, which is no better than the natural nutrition of medicinal materials. Absorbing it hastily will not only leave impurities in the body, but also integrate into the bone marrow of qi and blood. If you want to get rid of the influence, it will take too much energy and time to spend too much.

Qiu Yan has now condensed the Void Core, and has entered the second stage of the third realm, which can change the nature of flesh and blood. During this period, any impurities that affect Qi, blood, bone marrow, and cultivation base cannot be ignored. hinder.

You know, if you want to turn the illusory core into a real core and turn it into a golden core, removing impurities and purifying the seven souls is one of the steps, and then you can produce true essence, so how can you increase the impurities?

In contrast, although medicinal materials also have acquired dregs, they are essentially different from human flesh and blood and are easier to excrete from the body.

In addition, Qiu Yan has a more ideal choice of medicinal materials, but it is difficult to start because of friendship.

"Supplementing qi and blood with medicinal materials is not enough after all. Although it can prevent the decline of fate, as long as you continue to study, continue to peel off qi and blood, strengthen and nourish the soul, the weakening of the physical body is inevitable. However, with As far as I feel now, it may not be a bad thing..."

Qiu Yan changed his mind, took a deep breath, his heart was agitated, his spirit shrank a bit, and his connection with the will of the city became more and more closely. It seemed that his spirit might break out of his body at any time, and he would go with the wind. Almost dissipated.

"The physical body is weakened, the soul is getting stronger, the balance of life is broken, and the connection between the souls is almost broken. On the one hand, my physical body is weakened rapidly, but at the same time, the soul is temporarily above the flesh and blood, and the perception released is more sensitive. Restricted by oneself, it is more conducive to contact with Xingjing's thoughts, this is an opportunity, but the specific context has not yet been sorted out."

For ordinary monks, when they reach the third realm, one of their lives must be the main one, and the other should be the supplementary, so that they can be integrated into one body and no longer affect each other. However, Qiu Yan's life and death go hand in hand, but there is no way to truly integrate into one body. , usually nothing, but in fact they restrict each other, and the perception of the soul is restricted.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Hu Qi and slowly got up.

"It's better to maintain a weak state first. The cultivation of the soul is still there. I can use Xingjing's will to explore the surroundings. I am not afraid of danger. In Xingjing, the capital of the country, even monks have to refrain from fighting openly and at most use hidden arrows."

After thinking about it, Qiu Yan unhurriedly took out a piece of writing and handed it to Hu Qi.

This time, he was going to sell calligraphy and paintings in exchange for silver taels as before.

Just like what Dai Guo said, Qiu Yan's words are valuable, as long as someone who knows the goods can see the value, Xingjing, as the capital of Darui, is the center of the world, and there are study and painting shops in the city. In terms of quantity, it is more than Dongdu And a lot more.

As soon as Qiu Yan's calligraphy and painting were taken away, the eyes of the bosses and shopkeepers immediately glowed.

How many people in this business don't know what to do?There is charm in Qiu Yan's words, as long as he is not blind, he can see it, but the final result is not satisfactory.

When Hu Qi returned to the inn with that picture, Qiu Yan couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Hu Qi had to explain with a wry smile: "My lord, their bid is too low, not even one-third of that of Dongdu Qianshuzhai."

The last time I sold a picture of characters, I got ten taels, which is not a small amount. Nowadays, Darui mainly uses copper coins as currency in circulation, and merchants near Guanzhong also use Jiaozi. Relatively speaking, the mining and import of silver Not much, it can be regarded as a store of value, and the value is not small.

Ten taels of silver, in Qiu Yan's previous life, was at least a year's income of the middle class.

When Dongdu sold calligraphy, Qiu Yan was not well-known, and even if the calligraphy was charming, it was considered expensive. Although calligraphy and painting techniques are important, they are also affected by other factors. The most typical point is that the works of the living are not as good as those of the dead. Not as good as the old ones.

But right now, Qiu Yan has gained a certain reputation in Xingjing, and the inscription and stamp on that painting, if it is only worth three taels of silver, it would be too much.

Qiu Yan frowned slightly and pondered.

"Three taels? This is beyond the usual low price, and it has the meaning of suppressing it. According to you, I have gone to many studies. Is it all at this price? No one wants to pick up the leak?"

Three taels of silver, logically speaking, is not a small income, but Hu Qi knows that in the future, he will have to buy several medicinal materials every day, and if the daily expenses are counted, it will be greatly insufficient.

Silver seems to be a small matter, but it affects the whole body. Without medicinal materials to supplement the body, it is impossible to maintain the understanding of the city's will and dragon energy, which will disrupt Qiu Yan's plan and cause the rare opportunity to be lost. The gain outweighs the loss, but it cannot To be taken advantage of, everyone butchers.

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan shook his head, wondering if it was necessary to change the method.

"My lord, although I don't know much about calligraphy, I still know the way of buying and selling. Rare things are always more expensive. One of your paintings can only be exchanged for three taels in Xingjing. If you want to maintain your expenses, you have to spend every day." It will be sold in two or three days, but if you sell too much, it will be worthless, and the calligraphy of the young master is a precious calligraphy, how can you be humiliated like this!"

As he spoke, resentment appeared on his face.

If you paint and write every day, if you waste time and don’t talk about it, you will easily be looked down upon by others and leave gossip. Hu Qi also understands this truth, but seeing his expression, Qiu Yan changed his mind and asked: "Who are you?" Didn't you hear some news?"

Hu Dian nodded and said, "My lord, I got a reminder from a study. I heard that Xingjing's calligraphy and painting business is all in the hands of one person, who buys low and sells high. Before it spreads in Xingjing, they can figure it out!"

"Industrial monopoly?" Qiu Yan was slightly surprised, "Xingjing is worthy of being the capital of the country, and the tertiary industry is developing like a raging fire."

"En? Son, what did you say?"

"No, it's nothing." Qiu Yan shook his head and flicked his fingers, "This study is full of energy, and it really has its own rules. I have some reputation in Xingjing, but it's only among the scholarly candidates. Loud, after all, it's not easy to handle, it seems that I have to change the method, but I'm not good at making money, I hope it won't waste too much time."

When Hu Qi heard the words, he hesitated to speak, but Qiu Yan saw it and asked, and he said: "When I was leaving, an old man woke up and said that now in Xingjing, the most famous young people are Bai Zhaoyuan, Wen Zhizhen, Qi Jiulian and others, if they are allowed to jointly name on calligraphy and painting, even the person behind the study and painting shop will not be able to suppress them too much, and they will be able to get some justice."

"Looking for someone to co-sign?" Qiu Yan frowned slightly. Although he didn't want to be troublesome, it was his own work after all, and it would definitely not feel comfortable to rely on other people's names to promote it.

After Hu Qi raised his opinion, he didn't say more, just waited.

Qiu Yan thought for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, in the world, you have to put in something before you can get something. I wanted to wait until the announcement of the list before starting to look after it, but it's not bad for a few days, so I will solve it first. Let’s talk about the matter in front of us.”

"Young master, do you have an idea?" Hu Qi asked at the right time.

Qiu Yan glanced at him: "Didn't you say that Pang Qianru is going to throw a banquet?"

"That's right, Young Master is planning to go to the banquet?" Hu Qi had a worried look on his face, obviously worried about Qiu Yan's body.

"There are only three things, if you refuse the kindness of the general's tiger girl again, you will be self-defeating," Qiu Yan said with a smile, "Besides, you really need to experience this cultural banquet in Beijing, otherwise you won't have the chance to be there when you become an official." experienced."

After the words fell, other thoughts flashed through his mind.

"There are so many things crowded together, it's really unclear. I just hope that Jiuling Mountain can support it for a little longer."

………………

At the same time, in the next room, the two elders of Jinwu were sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, but they suddenly opened both eyes at the same time, as if there were flames beating in their eyes, and then they both showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

"At that moment just now, you and my Nascent Soul trembled, and a chill came from within, as if we were being watched by someone!"

The two looked at each other, communicated with a special method, followed their gazes, and both looked out the window, but the purpose of entering was only the ordinary scene, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"strangeness……"

They didn't realize that on that day, there were two faint shadows shuttling through the gap between the dragon's aura.

"The Heart Ape host is in this room! But for some reason, the will of the city here is too strong, and we need to think about it in the long run..." (To be continued. Please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
