Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!

After leaving Yunshangshang, Zhang Wei still did not leave Izumobo City, but continued to wander around Izumobo City using the cover of the moonlight.

In Izumobo City, there is not only the Yunshanglou family, but also the strongholds of the cultivating families of Yun Kingdom and several nearby countries in Izumobo City.

At the beginning, it was mainly to facilitate the handover of Izumo Bei with the Unshang Sect. But later, as the scale of the market expanded, these strongholds were gradually converted into shops, and some of their own specialty products were also sold on weekdays.

For example, the Yunwu tea from the Jiang family in Yunwu Valley, the Luoxia fruit from the Wang family in Luoxia Mountain, and the green bamboo rice from the Mi family in Qingzhulin are all top products produced by their respective spiritual veins. Zhang Wei bought some of everything.

Relying on the nourishment of spiritual veins, these spiritual foods have less turbidity than ordinary food, and the spiritual energy is easier to absorb. They are also very beneficial to cultivation, but the corresponding price is also ridiculously expensive.

Cheap green bamboo rice costs one or two spiritual stones per kilogram. If it were Yunwu tea, the price of one tael would be no worse than the second-order elixir. It is impossible for casual cultivators to take it daily.

At this time, the four hundred taels of spiritual stones that shopkeeper Yun Shanglou had found were almost spent. Zhang Wei had to sigh that the money was really wasted.

This was because he had obtained the inheritance from Master Luoxia's tomb. If it were before, he would not have dared to even think about such a level of consumption.

Unfortunately, after wandering around the streets for several times, Zhang Wei did not find the Hehuan Sect's properties widely distributed in all the worlds. Otherwise, he would have to go in to see it... and criticize it.

"It seems that the immortal cultivators also want to save face. After all, they have already cultivated immortality. They can easily live a wealthy life in the mortal world. How can they sell their bodies for some benefits? Even if they have the need to practice, they are still in trouble. You can go to a brothel in the mortal world. Isn’t it safer to pick up yin and replenish yang or use yang to replenish yin than in a city where immortals live in groups? "

Zhang Wei continued to wander around the market until he found that he had reached the end of the street without realizing it. However, it's not that there are no immortal cultivators at the end of the street. On the contrary, there are still a lot of people. It's just that the shops like Yun Shanglou are gone and replaced by a market composed of street stalls.

Those selling elixirs, talismans, and fish, grains, and daily necessities, all selling a chaotic mix. It is in sharp contrast to the business street next door.

Zhang Wei originally planned to leave. After all, he had already bought everything he needed in a regular store. But in this market, Zhang Wei suddenly saw an old friend who stopped him from leaving.

Zhang Wei brushed his face, Yueying's face changed slightly, and then walked to a stall selling magic talismans and called to a middle-aged scholar-looking man with gray temples.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

Xiao Yunshan, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, raised his head to look at the person who came, and found that it was a strange monk in the late stage of Qi refining.

"Well, you are..."

Zhang Wei cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I haven't seen each other for three years since the sunset."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yunshan suddenly showed a look of surprise. He said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang! Oops, I'm getting older and my memory is bad.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing you for three years, you have already reached the late stage of Qi refining. Come on, please take a seat. "

Xiao Yunshan quickly moved a chair for Zhang Wei, and then Zhang Wei discovered that there was a little boy with a horn on his back behind Xiao Yunshan's stall, timidly grabbing the corner of Xiao Yunshan's clothes and looking at him.

"He is... your son?" Zhang Wei asked.

Xiao Yunshan laughed, touched the little boy's head lovingly, and said, "Well, how is my son Xiao Ke? He's cute, isn't he?"

Zhang Wei nodded, took out a few candies bought from the market and handed them to Xiao Ke from his pocket. The little boy's eyes, only three years old, suddenly shone, but he still looked at his father cautiously.

After getting Xiao Yunshan's permission, Xiao Ke said thank you to Zhang Wei in a sweet voice, and then took the candy and ate it happily.

Zhang Wei smiled and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you would have children after not seeing each other for a few years."

"There is no way. I have passed the age of knowing my destiny, and the hope of obtaining the foundation of heaven and earth spiritual essence is extremely slim. It is better to draw more spiritual talismans while I am still young to earn more spiritual stones, so that future generations can cultivate themselves on the road to immortality. It's easier to walk." Xiao Yunshan shook his head and smiled, looking free and easy, but the loss in his words was also very obvious.

After hearing Xiao Yunshan's words, Zhang Wei also fell into silence for a while.

As the saying goes, you stand at thirty, you have no doubts at forty, and you know your destiny at fifty. For most immortal cultivators, the age of fifty is the bottom line for foundation building.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t build a foundation after the age of fifty, but it just means that you have insufficient energy.

Half a life wasted is enough to make most immortal cultivators exhausted. Therefore, immortal cultivators over fifty years old often no longer work hard on the immortal path, but choose to give up their obsession with building a foundation.

Either return to the secular world and rely on the money earned through hard work in the world of immortality and the skills learned to become a wealthy man. In time, it is not impossible for the family to become a powerful part of the mortal dynasty.

But there are very few immortal cultivators who choose this way. The vast majority of immortal cultivators will be like Xiao Yunshan, who place their hopes on the next generation, while they themselves struggle in the market to accumulate cultivation resources for future generations.

Then Zhang Wei chatted with Xiao Yunshan about their respective three-year experiences, and attributed his breakthrough to the late stage of Qi refining to an opportunity in the wild, which aroused Xiao Yunshan's envy for a while.

Why didn't I have such good luck in the first place?

"Xiao Lang, are you an acquaintance?"

At this time, a charming voice came. Zhang Wei looked back and saw a familiar beautiful woman in palace clothes walking towards him carrying a basket of vegetables.

Zhang Wei is very familiar with this person. He had bought elixirs from the other party's stall before!

"Um!!!!"

Zhang Weiwei was shocked and mechanically turned his head to look at Xiao Yunshan who looked embarrassed.

"Xiao...lang?"

"Ahem, this is Qin Xiaoling, a first-level mid-level alchemist." Xiao Yunshan coughed twice and introduced to Zhang Wei.

"Not only do you know each other, but you've actually had an affair for a long time, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't have become Taoist companions and had children. So when you asked me to go to Taoist Fellow Qin's stall to buy elixirs, were you actually robbing strangers?" Zhang Wei said with a faint look.

Xiao Yunshan said awkwardly: "Ahem... The wealth will not go to outsiders, and I didn't cheat you. Just tell me whether the elixir of the bitch is good or not!"

Zhang Wei immediately defended: "I have never used that thing. I bought it for my brother. But your elixir is indeed useful. I have gained three more nephews and a niece in the past three years."

Qin Xiaoling's memory is much better than Xiao Yunshan's. Not long after meeting Zhang Wei, she remembered the junior she had talked to several times in Luoxiashan. So he covered his little mouth and joked: "Ah, isn't this Zhang Daoyou who had a bad waist back then?"

"I told you I haven't used it before!"

"I understand, we all understand."

The couple's perfunctory attitude made Zhang Wei unable to vent his anger, so he simply stopped worrying about it. Anyway, this hatred can't compare to the grudge he used to destroy the market price of Luoxia Mountain's spiritual talisman with 800 thunderbolts.

So Zhang Wei still wins!

"It just so happens that you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, have just arrived in Izumobo City and are not familiar with the place. So today I will be the host and invite some of my friends over at Zuixian Tower. Let's get to know each other." At this time, Xiao Yunshan said.

Zhang Wei asked: "You don't do business anymore?"

He knew that Zuixianlou was a restaurant specializing in spiritual meals in Izumobo City, and he originally planned to go there to try something new after visiting the city. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunshan actually brought it up first.

"Let's close the stall today. Besides, business matters are not as important as supporting Daoist friend Zhang."

Xiao Yunshan said, stroking his beard. Then Qin Xiaoling, who was next to her, picked up her son Xiao Ke and revealed it mercilessly: "I think you are greedy for Yun Bo Niang from Zui Xianlou? You want to drink in the name of supporting Daoist Zhang."

"No way!" Xiao Yunshan immediately retorted, followed by words such as "Drinking is not drinking, can the thing about immortal cultivators be called drinking as vulgar as drinking?" This made Qin Xiaoling and Xiao Ke, mother and son, smile. For a moment, the stall was filled with a cheerful tone.

Behind them was Zhang Wei who was silent and silent.

He felt that he didn't need to go to Zuixian Tower, he was satisfied just watching the two couples flirting!

But having said that, I still have to go to Zuixian Tower. After all, it is a Taoist friend who kindly invites me to have a meal, and it is a spiritual meal. Also introduce yourself to friends. If I don't go, I won't be sorry for Daoist Fellow Xiao's kindness, and I won't be sorry for my own belly either!

And Zhang Wei is also very interested in the people Xiao Yunshan will introduce to him.

Although Xiao Yunshan is a casual cultivator, he is also a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining. They are considered to be the top group of people in this three-acre area of ​​​​Izumobo City. The friends he has made must be people of the same level, which will be very helpful for Zhang Wei to further explore the world of immortality.

Of course, Zhang Wei knew that the reason why he attracted Xiao Yunshan so much was because the other party took a fancy to his potential and strength.

The cultivation level in the later stage of Qi refining is enough for Xiao Yunshan and others to take seriously, not to mention that Zhang Wei is still young now. If one day he gets lucky and gets the foundation of heaven and earth spirit essence, it will be equivalent to Xiao Yunshan knowing a master of foundation building. !

Not long after this, after Zhang Wei came to Zuixian Tower and sat down, the spiritual meal was not even served. A middle-aged man dressed like a fisherman walked in.

"Brother Xiao! Is this the Daoist Zhang you want to introduce to me?" the middle-aged man asked carelessly after he walked in.

Xiao Yunshan immediately introduced: "Here we come, let me introduce you to Fellow Daoist Zhang. This is Fellow Daoist Jiang Shunjiang! This is Fellow Daoist Zhang Xiaofan!"

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Zhang Wei smiled and bowed to Jiang Shun, while his nose couldn't help but twitch.

What a strong fishy smell.

Jiang Shun had a familiar and cheerful personality. After meeting Zhang Wei, he laughed and said: "Zhang Daoyou is such a handsome young man. When I was your age, I didn't even break through to the middle stage of Qi refining."

"It was just a fluke."

Having said that, Zhang Wei is still a little proud in his heart. At this time, Xiao Ke's nose moved, and then he couldn't help sneezing.

"Ah sneeze——"

Jiang Shun smelled the smell on his body and then said apologetically: "Oh, my fault, my fault, I didn't even clean up the fishy smell on my body, and it got to Xiao Ke. I’ll punish myself with a drink!”

As soon as Jiang Shung raised his wine glass, a cold voice came from outside the restaurant.

"You should clear away the fishy smell from your body first before talking about drinking!"

Zhang Wei looked for the reputation and saw a young man in brocade clothes striding in. There is such a sharp feeling when walking.

When the young man arrived here, he sat down directly. After giving Jiang Shun a body cleansing technique to drive away the smell, he explained: "Lao Jiang is from Izumo Kaiba. He is responsible for driving away fish in the water on weekdays. He carries A fishy smell is inevitable.”

Then he introduced himself: "Si Junpeng, I have met fellow Daoist Zhang."

Jiang Shun said: "Don't look at Xiao Si's frail appearance. He is a famous fighting master in Izumobo City! His main job is to catch monsters. He often chases and kills monsters that cause trouble outside. He is not open in March and eats when he is open. Three years! It’s not easy to call him here just in time.”

Si Junpeng also smiled and said: "If there are any traces of monsters in the future, Fellow Daoist Zhang, please don't hesitate to tell me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

"must!"

Zhang Wei looked at the two of them and couldn't help but admire Xiao Yunshan's good taste in choosing friends.

Whether it is Si Junpeng, who is a professional monster hunter, or Jiang Shun, who works at Izumo Bay Field, both of them are high-quality customers who are not short of money and have a fixed demand for magic spells and elixirs.

Moreover, both of them have a very high status among the casual cultivators in Izumobo City, plus they are the wives of alchemists and their own status as spiritual talisman masters.

As long as he doesn't go to those shops in the city that have the background of cultivating immortal families and sect forces, Xiao Yunshan can basically walk sideways in the city, even those shops will give Xiao Yunshan some face.

At this time, the spiritual meal ordered by Xiao Yunshan was also served.

The dishes are normal, the same standard as when treating guests to a banquet in the world, eight dishes and one soup. But all the dishes here are full of aura, and just smelling them will make people want to eat.

Zhang Wei had already read the menu before he came, and there was no one on this table who couldn't eat twenty taels of spiritual stones.

"I'll go, Lao Xiao, are you rich? You spend so much money, Xiao Qin, you don't care about him." Jiang Shun couldn't help but sigh.

"It doesn't matter, since we haven't seen each other for a long time, we just want to take this opportunity to get together." Qin Xiaoling said with a smile while giving Xiao Ke a chicken leg.

Xiao Yunshan poured himself a full glass of wine, and then said: "That's right, come on, let me toast you all first!"

After saying that, he sighed, and then showed a series of expressions like Zhang Wei's father in his previous life after drinking.

First there was a grimace, then a grimace, and then relief after the constipation was relieved.

It can be seen that since having a child, Daoist Fellow Xiao has been very strictly controlled by Fellow Daoist Qin. I am afraid he has been craving for this Yunbo Niang for a long time.

Zhang Wei also tried to take a sip.

"Hmm~~This wine..."

As the wine entered his throat, Zhang Wei's facial features immediately wrinkled.

So spicy. It feels like I have been drinking liquor for a lifetime and I am not used to it.

Jiang Shun smiled and said: "Yunbo wine is famous for its soft entrance and throat! How about it, is it stronger than those ordinary wines? I like to take a sip before going into the water, otherwise I will soak for a long time once I soak in the water , even if I am in the late stage of Qi refining, I still feel cold.”

Zhang Wei breathed out a breath of alcohol and asked, "Are you people from the Yunshang Sect working so hard too?"

Si Junpeng took a fried peanut into his mouth and sneered: "What kind of person is he from the Yunshang Sect? He just works under the water as a contract worker. A formal disciple of the Yunshang Sect will not do it unless necessary. The water is affected.”

Oh, got it, outsourcing.

Then Si Junpeng said: "But there is an advantage to Lao Jiang's job. He can cultivate the spiritual energy in his spiritual veins openly. The spiritual stone reward given by Yun Shangzong is pure profit! Compared with those of us who put our heads in our pants The demon hunter on the belt is much more stable.”

Jiang Shun replied in a dull voice: "But you guys who catch monsters also make a lot of money."

It's okay not to say it, but saying it is like mentioning Si Junpeng's sad story, making him feel bitter.

"Hey, don't mention it. I'm so angry when I talk about this. A few months ago, I heard that there were traces of monsters in Luyang County, so I rushed there to kill them. But guess what happened?"

Si Junpeng clapped his hands and complained: "Someone got there first!"

"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Wei suddenly couldn't breathe and coughed violently.

"Oh, why are you so careless?" Qin Xiaoling said with concern, while pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Wei.

"Thank you."

Zhang Wei lowered his head while drinking tea and complained secretly in his heart.

If he guessed correctly, the person Si Junpeng was talking about seemed to be him.

At this time, Si Junpeng was still pouring out his bitterness, and said with full of resentment: "I heard that he was beaten to death by a martial arts prodigy from a secular family! It made all my trip in vain!"

Xiao Yunshan advised: "A monster that can be beaten to death by a mortal means that it is just a monster in the early stage of Qi refining that got lucky and is not worth much."

"I heard from the villagers that the monster beast was as thick as an anaconda at that time, and the monster material it produced was worth fifty taels of spirit stones even if it was low value. In addition, after the monster was subdued, the villagers said With the filial piety of the people, don’t I have what I need for these two months of cultivation? It’s better than traveling in vain!” Si Junpeng was obviously still worried about this.

At this time, Zhang Wei asked: "Fellow Daoist Si, is this monster valuable?"

"That's not an ordinary value." Si Junpeng explained: "The demon clan is full of treasures. Demon blood, demon bones and demon beast meat are all excellent whether they are used to make elixirs and medicines or as raw materials for spiritual ink. Take It’s also good to come to refine weapons.

It's a pity that there are too few monsters in the Yun Kingdom, and it takes too long to hunt them down. If you want to find a large number of monsters, you can only go to the coast, but this is too dangerous. This has resulted in the price of demon materials remaining high in the Yun Kingdom. The corpse of a monster beast in the early stage of Qi refining costs fifty taels of spirit stones. "

Zhang Wei asked: "What about those in the later stage of Qi refining?"

Si Junpeng shook his head and said, "The late Qi Refining monsters are too dangerous. Even cultivators like me are in danger of falling. The last time a late Qi Refining monster's body was sold to Chuyun Market, how much did it sell for?"

Xiao Yunshan stretched out three fingers and said, "Three hundred taels of spirit stones, and then the man went to exchange for a magic weapon. It's a pity that I haven't seen that person for several years."

"Who knows, maybe he died while hunting monsters, or left Chuyun Market to venture somewhere else." Si Junpeng said nonchalantly.

Living in the open air and living in fear of death is the norm for monster hunters like them, so Si Junpeng is not very interested in the fate of the monster hunter who hunted the late Qi Refining monster. He cares more about where to hunt monsters.

While these people were discussing, they didn't see that Zhang Wei's expression next to him was a little complicated.

The late Qi Refining monster... is very strong?

But how did I kill one with just a few moves?
