Chapter 33 The life of a casual cultivator is hard... what a piece of shit!

"Success!"

The Qingzhi Sword took shape, and Zhang Wei immediately beamed with joy. He stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword and input spiritual power into it.

In an instant, cold light erupted from the sword blade, and a sharp breath extended from the sword blade, turning into a sharp air blade.

"Sure enough, spiritual tempering is not necessary. It's just that ordinary people cannot do as high-intensity labor as cultivators."

Zhang Wei was very excited. The success of this experiment showed that refining magic weapons, at least in some steps, does not necessarily require the cultivator to work personally. Ordinary people who have mastered the method can also complete part of the content for the immortal cultivators.

Since ordinary people can do it, what about metals smelted using modern industrial methods?

"In addition to materials science, do I have to learn mechanics?" Zhang Wei showed a wry smile that was about to burst into tears. The road to becoming a Duobao Taoist is indeed not easy, and I don't know if his hair can withstand it. .

Then Zhang Wei took out an iron ingot and threw it into the air. He waved his Qingzhi sword and flashed his air blade. The iron ingot was cut into two pieces and fell to the ground.

Zhang Wei picked up the two iron ingots and carefully observed the cross-section. He found that although there were some stubble on them, the overall surface was smooth.

"The power with the blessing of spiritual power is already comparable to the normal attack power of the first-order high-grade magic weapon I got back from Master Luoxia, so...should it be considered a first-order mid-grade magic weapon?"

"It's just these ordinary materials. If you melt them and refine them into a magic weapon, you can make it as powerful as the knife in the hand of the host in the live broadcast room. It can also be controlled remotely. It's incredible."

Zhang Wei released his hand holding the Qingzhi Sword and saw that the Qingzhi Sword did not fall to the ground, but was quietly suspended in mid-air.

Then Zhang Wei's mind moved, and the green sword was like a spiritual fish, flying around him according to his wishes.

The art of refining weapons is magical, right?

He took back the Qingzhi Sword and put it together with the magic weapons he got from the tomb of Master Luoxia. A first-level mid-grade magic weapon placed among a bunch of first-level high-grade magic weapons would be very eye-catching.

But this should be considered the lowest level magic weapon in his inventory, right?

But Zhang Wei did not feel discouraged.

You must know that this is the first magic weapon that young people refine. For a novice weapon refiner, if the first magic weapon he refines is a first-level mid-grade weapon instead of a first-class first-class magic weapon, it already shows that this weapon refiner is extremely talented. Very memorable.

What he lacks now is just a lack of proficiency, and the magic weapon formula is just two of the most common products.

This all restricts his progress.

Zhang Wei wants to make progress too much.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wei took the Green Sword in his hand again. After checking out, he went to the market of casual cultivators in Izumobo City and found the biggest local snake he knew.

"Brother Yunshan!"

Xiao Yunshan raised his head and saw that he was an acquaintance, so he smiled and asked, "It's Xiaofan. Do you need anything? Do you want to see the talisman you just drew yesterday?"

Zhang Wei did not look at the magic talisman. Instead, he walked to the stall and sat opposite Xiao Yunshan. He asked in a low voice: "You are an old man in Fangshi. I would like to ask, do you have access to the magic weapon formula?"

"Magic weapon formula? What do you want that thing for? They are all for refining..." Xiao Yunshan stopped mid-sentence and looked at the indifferent Zhang Wei with disbelief. He also asked in a lowered voice.

"Have you become a weapon refiner?!"

"Well, it was just successfully refined."

Zhang Wei nodded, and in order to prove that what he said was true, he placed the newly refined Qingzhi Sword in front of Xiao Yunshan.

Xiao Yunshan quickly took it and observed it carefully.

"First-grade mid-grade Qingzhi sword!" Xiao Yunshan's eyes lit up and he said, "Did you just refine it? Xiaofan, you are extremely talented!"

After receiving the affirmation, Xiao Yunshan praised repeatedly: "Good, good! There is also a first-level middle-grade genius weapon refiner among the people I know.

Some of them blew up after they went out! Your sister-in-law and I, plus you, account for three of the four skills of the alchemy and talisman formation. If we meet another formation master from a big sect, we will be like marrying a dragon in an ordinary wedding and funeral. From the immortal cultivator His entry was arranged for him to be buried! Hahaha……"

"Haha..." Zhang Wei also laughed twice. In fact, Xiao Yunshan's idea has been successful. After all, Zhang Wei, who has inherited the formation method from Master Luoxia, is now a half-hearted formation master.

Then Xiao Yunshan returned the Qingzhi Sword to Zhang Wei and said in a tone of experience: "But to be honest, magic weapons are out of reach for most casual cultivators.

After all, most casual cultivators are miserable. If you ask them to spend one or two spiritual stones to buy a magic talisman, they will have to dig and search, let alone spend hundreds of taels of spiritual stones to buy magic weapons.

Therefore, there is no market for low-level magic weapons. Children of sect families do not need to buy them outside, and casual cultivators have no money to buy them. Only when it reaches the level of first-level high-grade magic weapon used by monks in the late stage of Qi refining, can it be sold in casual cultivators at a lower price than in shops.

"Low price?"

Zhang Wei's eyes sharpened instantly. He seemed to have heard something terrible just now.

At this time, Xiao Yunshan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, and still explained: "Yes, low price. Otherwise, people can go to shops with guaranteed reputation and quality to buy, and they also have regular maintenance services. Why would they come to us, the wild ones?"

Zhang Wei said faintly: "That is to say, in fact, buying talismans from you is cheaper than in shops. Then why is the price of a first-level medium-grade talisman one or two spiritual stones, and the price of your wild ones is the same?"

"Of course... ahem, I was in Luoxia Mountain because the mountain was high and the road was long, so I had to earn some money for the trip, right?" Xiao Yunshan finally came to his senses and quickly changed his words to defend himself.

Speaking of this, he was also depressed. Originally, he wanted to make a lot of money by relying on the Luoxia Corpse Chaos and raising the price before the group of cultivators entered the mountain.

Unexpectedly, he met a fool who came from nowhere and ruined the market! He ran thousands of miles to make a few dozen spiritual stones!

Lost a lot!

Xiao Yunshan coughed twice and changed the subject: "Let's get back to the topic. I do know a few independent cultivators whose ancestors were rich. They also have magic weapon formulas. But even if they are not weapon refiners, they will not easily sell these things."

"Anything can be bought and sold. If it fails, it can only be said that the price offered is not enough." Zhang Wei said.

Xiao Yunshan nodded and said, "Yes, I asked them before why they didn't sell the formula to those shops in exchange for cultivation resources. Guess what? They all said that the price given by the shops was too low."

Zhang Wei frowned and asked, "What do they want?"

Xiao Yunshan stretched out three fingers and said, "One formula, three first-grade magic weapons."

Zhang Wei widened his eyes and said subconsciously, "Three first-grade magic weapons, and just one formula? This is a robbery! It costs thousands of spirit stones. I'm more likely to try my luck in the shop than to find these people."

Xiao Yunshan spread his hands and said helplessly, "I said that at the beginning, but that person said that the price of his formula was still cheap. Three first-grade magic weapons with one less will not be sold."

Zhang Wei calmed down after hearing this and asked, "What magic weapon can their formula refine?"

Xiao Yunshan laughed, leaned down, and said mysteriously, "One of them is a flying magic weapon, the first-grade Moyun Shuttle!"

Flying magic weapon!

Zhang Wei's eyes widened, thinking that this was no wonder.

Although with the help of the control technique, the cultivators can also move in the air by stepping on weapons and magic weapons. But the function of these magic weapons is only for fighting. If they are used to carry people, it will consume a lot of spiritual power, and it is not suitable for long-distance travel.

But flying magic weapons are different. After all, they are specially used for this purpose. Not only do they consume less spiritual power of the cultivators, but they are also fast.

Even at the foundation-building level, the cultivators can fly in the air by themselves, and a flying magic weapon can greatly increase their speed. It is really a weapon for killing people and escaping from the enemy.

But flying magic weapons are also recognized as the most difficult to make except for space-type magic weapons, and the price is also the highest among magic weapons of the same level. In addition to the limitation of the formula, many second-level refiners will not refine first-level flying magic weapons.

This can be seen from the fact that none of the magic weapons he got from the tomb of Master Luoxia is flying.

Maybe there were some among his burial objects, but they were definitely carried by the corpse king, and then all of them became the spoils of the people in Yunhai.

"Flying magic weapon! That's no wonder..." Zhang Wei sighed.

"But three first-grade magic weapons are still too expensive..."

Xiao Yunshan also understood, and while pouring a cup of tea for Zhang Wei, he comforted him: "Xiao Fan, this road has to be taken step by step, and the food has to be eaten bite by bite.

Don't be too ambitious, you should practice these skills first, stabilize your refining skills, and then think about getting new magic weapon formulas."

However, Zhang Wei shook his head violently and said firmly: "No, if it is an ordinary attack or defense type magic weapon, then I will miss it, but this is a flying magic weapon, which is very useful to me!"

If he had a flying magic weapon, not to mention that his ability to save his life would be greatly improved, he would save a lot of time just going back and forth between Yundu and Chuyunfang City.

In the past, he needed to take three days off to row a boat back and forth to do business. But once he had a flying magic weapon, Zhang Wei could run back and forth between Yundu and Chuyun Market by staying up all night.

This is so useful!

Zhang Wei couldn't give up no matter what!

So Zhang Wei asked: "Brother Yunshan, please help me contact someone. I don't have a first-grade magic weapon. Can I buy it directly with money?"

Xiao Yunshan said in shock: "No, Xiaofan, are you serious? Three first-grade magic weapons are worth at least 1,000 taels of spirit stones. Where do you get so much money?"

Zhang Wei sighed: "I don't have so many spirit stones, but before I entered the world of immortal cultivation, I still had some family assets in the mortal world. It's okay to convert them with silver and gold, right?"

"This..."

Xiao Yunshan touched his beard, his face a little solemn.

But looking at Zhang Wei's determined eyes, he was embarrassed to refuse his new friend.

And what if Zhang Wei really succeeded in refining the Moyun Shuttle?

As a matchmaker, it is not impossible for him to shamelessly ask Zhang Wei for a discount.

Besides, it is not his own money.

So after a brief thought, Xiao Yunshan, who could not think of any harm to himself, agreed. "Okay, since you insist so much, I will be the middleman."

Zhang Wei immediately stood up. "Then I will go back and collect the money."

Xiao Yunshan shouted to Zhang Wei's back: "Come back to the west of the market to find me, I will wait for you there."

After leaving the market, Zhang Wei found a deserted place, took out some gold bars from the mustard bag and put them in the package, and after a while, he walked towards the west of the market that Xiao Yunshan mentioned.

As soon as he arrived there, Zhang Wei saw Xiao Yunshan standing under an archway waiting for him.

Behind the archway is a building with a concave civil and wood mixed structure. It has five floors, and each floor has doors and windows, which makes people know at a glance that this is a residential area.

And this specification and style made Zhang Wei have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

It feels like the Pig Cage Village in Stephen Chow's Kung Fu movie!

It's just that the environment here is much better than that of Pig Cage Village. It's clean, bright, and the small square in the recess has a garden. The overall facilities are more like modern apartment buildings.

Xiao Yunshan and his friends' homes are here.

Xiao Yunshan smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't think that this place is not as luxurious as the mansion where you lived when you were a landlord in the mortal world. But there is a different world inside."

Then Xiao Yunshan led Zhang Wei to a door, took out a jade talisman and gently swept it on it, and the door opened with a click.

Zhang Wei: "..."

"Come in."

Xiao Yunshan led Zhang Wei into the house. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Wei felt a warmth, isolating all the moisture from the outside.

You must know that Chuyunfang City is located on a small island in the center of Yunmengze, which is humid and cold. If a mortal came to live here, he would probably get rheumatism in a few months.

But the house is dry and warm, in sharp contrast to the outside world.

Click——

Xiao Yunshan pressed the side wall, and then the whole room became bright. Zhang Wei saw that there was a light strip-like facility on the ceiling of the room.

Zhang Wei was a little numb.

And then...

"Is that a refrigerator? It must be a refrigerator?"

Zhang Wei watched Xiao Yunshan open a cabinet, and a cold air came out of it. Then he took out two bottles of juice-like drinks and handed them to him.

"The juice brewed by Luoxia Yun fruit is quite sweet. Try it." Xiao Yunshan opened a bottle and drank half of it in one breath.

Zhang Wei held the cold glass bottle in his hand blankly, his brain went into a state of shutdown, and then he asked a question involuntarily.

"It costs a lot of money to live here, right?"

"It's okay. It's really a burden for a small casual cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. Just renting a three-bedroom, one-living room house here costs three taels of spirit stones every month.

The remaining four-season spring array that controls the temperature, the realgar array that repels snakes, insects, rats and ants, the bright fluorescent stone light belt that provides light, and the whole set of furniture I bought all require the spiritual veins of Chuyunfang City to provide spiritual energy. So I have to pay another two taels of spirit stones for spiritual energy every month.

Five taels of spirit stones per month, how much does a small casual cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining earn per month? So they all rent with others, and only those at my level have the foundation to buy a house on their own."

Xiao Yunshan also showed a proud expression when he said this.

"And there are private schools in the back that teach children knowledge and cultivation methods, branches of Baicao Pavilion that treat difficult and complicated diseases, and even places to relieve boredom such as light and shadow operas shot by those big sects. How about it, I don’t lose out on the five taels of spiritual stones I spend every month?"

Zhang Wei was completely numb.

It seems that there are hospitals, schools and various entertainment venues nearby! This configuration would have been a high-quality school district house in his previous life!

He understood why most of the immortal cultivators would rather continue to live in the difficult life of Chuyunfang City than return to the secular dynasty to be landlords.

Except for the lack of Internet and mobile phones, the living standards of immortal cultivators are not inferior to his modern life in his previous life.

Zhang Wei drank a sip of Xiayun juice in an extremely complicated mood and found that the juice was sweet and contained a faint spiritual energy, but the taste was just so-so.

"Will carbonated drinks and the like have some potential in the world of immortal cultivation?" Such an idea inexplicably emerged in Zhang Wei's mind.

After finishing his drink and resting enough, Xiao Yunshan got up and took Zhang Wei to the destination.

In fact, the place where the casual cultivator lived was not far from Xiao Yunshan's home, just half of the distance of Chuyun Community. So the two families were still neighbors.

"Old Wu! Open the door!"

Xiao Yunshan shouted loudly without any courtesy, and knocked on the door while shouting, and the surface of the door was shone repeatedly.

People who didn't know thought that Xiao Yunshan and Zhang Wei were gangsters from some black society who came to collect debts.

But thanks to this, it didn't take long for movement to come from the house.

"Here they come! What are you urging me for!"

The door opened, and a little old man with a slightly wretched face poked his head out, giving people the visual sense of a turtle poking his head out.

"Oh, it's Old Xiao. You actually have the time to come to my little temple? What are you doing? Do you remember to pay back the money?" When Old Wu saw that it was Xiao Yunshan, he had no intention of inviting him into the room. Instead, he just stood at the door and flirted with him.

"What a waste! Are you still thinking about paying for a mundane meal? How many meditation charms have you taken away from me over the years?"

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Yunshan cursed unceremoniously, but judging from Old Wu's still smiling expression, this was considered the daily routine of this pair of bad friends.

Only then did Lao Wu see a strange young man following Xiao Yunshan, so he asked, "Who is this young master..."

Xiao Yunshan stepped aside and introduced: "This is Zhang Xiaofan, a friend I met two years ago. He wants to buy the magic formula of Moyunsuo in your hand.

Xiaofan, this is Wu Gui, just call him Old Turtle. He is the one I told you before who used silver powder instead of gold powder and mixed it into the spiritual ink to draw talismans. So don’t buy his talismans in the future. . "

Of course, Zhang Wei couldn't really call the people he just met by their names as Xiao Yunshan did, so it was just a formal salute. "It turns out that it was Fellow Daoist Wu in person. I, Zhang Xiaofan, have met Fellow Daoist Wu."

"Well, you are more polite than Lao Xiao. Come in." Wu Gui nodded, then stepped aside to welcome Xiao Yunshan and Zhang Wei in.

Xiao Yunshan was a step behind, holding Wu Gui's arm and whispering: "Fellow Taoist Xiaofan is already a first-level middle-grade weapon refiner. And he comes with sincerity, don't go too far!"

"I know it well!" Wu Gui gave Xiao Yunshan a roll of his eyes.

The layout of Wu Gui's house is similar to that of Xiao Yunshan's family. It's just about the hygiene inside the house...

Zhang Wei moved lightly to avoid stepping on any clothes that shouldn't be touched.

Zhang Wei and Wu Gui sat down opposite each other, and then Wu Guicai said: "I understand your purpose of coming to me, but I have to say something ugly before. The price of my Moyunsuo formula is not low, Brother Daoist Zhang."

"Understood, three first-class magic weapons." Zhang Wei nodded and was about to pay.

However, at this moment, Wu Gui shook his head and corrected: "No, not three pieces, but four pieces! You have to be responsible for ten years of maintenance!"
