Do not die

After taking a rough inventory, Meng Zhou found that there were still a lot of resources that could be used.

Among them, there are three idle high-grade magic weapons, a magic robe, a strange-shaped magic weapon that looks like a water-dividing Emei thorn, and an ordinary attack magic weapon.

Six medium-grade instruments.

There are five high-grade magical swords and five medium-grade magical swords.

There are eight low-grade magical artifacts, two of which are seriously damaged and can only be sold at a 50% discount at most.

There are also many talismans and other bits and pieces.

Most of these are the contributions of the Red Pine Ridge Anle Gang, and some are the contributions of three unlucky robbery cultivators.

In addition, there is the bear monster meat stored in the jade volute, occupying nearly fifteen square meters of space.

One storage space can store more than two thousand kilograms of monster meat. A first-level high-quality demon bear with a length of five to six meters from head to tail can easily select five to six thousand kilograms of high-quality demon beast meat.

When he left the Yunwu Mountains, Meng Zhou filled up almost all the spare storage space.

After selling a small portion in Baiguoyuan last time, he still had about 15 cubic meters of reserves, nearly 30,000 kilograms.

Meng Zhou planned to take action on all of them without leaving any behind. Anyway, he was tired of looking at this thing now.

The next day, Meng Zhou first visited several restaurants specializing in spiritual meals and sold all the monster meat in his hands.

Because all the more valuable bear skins, bear blood, etc. had been sold last time, the spiritual stones obtained after the sales were slightly less than those at Baiguoyuan, with a total of 7341 low-grade spiritual stones.

Then, he went to the specially designated stall area in the commercial district.

The eight low-grade magic weapons in his hand, as well as a large number of talismans and other scattered items, were packaged and sold at an average price of less than 20% off, resulting in a total of 1,068 low-grade spiritual stones.

Five medium-grade magic swords were sold in a package at a 20% discount price, earning 650 low-grade spiritual stones.

Five high-grade magic swords and six medium-grade magic weapons were sold in a package at a 15% discount, with a total of 3740 low-grade spiritual stones.

The reason why we package and sell them at reduced prices is to save time and trouble.

It's really because these things are so fragmented and numerous that it takes a lot of energy and time to find the right buyer.

Compared to the few spiritual stones he saved, his time was obviously more valuable.

Only the three most valuable high-grade magical artifacts took Meng Zhou more than an hour to match them to the most suitable customers, and a total of 6,200 low-grade spiritual stones were sold.

Because he has lived in Qinglinfang for more than a month, and he has consciously collected all kinds of information, his understanding of Qinglinfang is like an old man who has lived here for several years.

When dealing with various items, you will not touch them like a headless fly and know how to maximize their value in the fastest time.

In less than half a day, he took care of everything that needed to be done, without leaving any trace behind.

"More than 29,000, nearly 30,000, it's enough no matter what."

Fortunately for Meng Zhou, just two days after he finished disposing of the items in his hands, a "Spiritual Stone Scarcity" began to appear in the entire Qinglinfang.

If he were to sell those supplies now, the amount of spiritual stones sold would be reduced by at least 20%.

This is because word has spread that Qingxuanzong will host a large-scale auction at the end of the month.

Almost all the foundation-building monks are gathering spirit stones, which has caused a sharp decrease in the number of spirit stones circulating on the market.

Since the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the number of monks coming to Xiangming Tower to listen to the news has gradually decreased, and Meng Zhou also stopped checking in once a day after three days.

Once again devote yourself wholeheartedly to practice.

More than a month has passed since his cultivation broke through the ninth level of Qi training.

In addition to the steady improvement in cultivation level, the knotting techniques have also improved by leaps and bounds.

Following the cultivation level, he advanced to the ninth level of Qi training, followed by the Rope Knot Hundred Techniques, which led to a breakthrough from a minor achievement to a great achievement.

The knotting speed has been greatly improved.

Previously, when he first entered Xiaocheng, it would take him about fifty minutes to complete one hundred knotting methods.

Then, even as the speed of repeated practice increases, the time to complete a set of movements is more than forty minutes.

After being promoted to Dacheng, his thinking has almost synchronized with his rope-tying movements, and his efficiency has been greatly improved.

It only takes about a quarter of an hour to complete a set of actions, that is, hundreds of knotting methods, and one can be completed in nine to ten seconds.

Gain +4 experience per hour.

Apart from formal training, he arranged no other tasks for himself. In his spare time, he devoted all his energy to completing the rope.

He didn't feel bored, and he even gradually ignored the technique of tying the rope itself, and instead immersed his mind in the perception of the spiritual flow of energy in the process of saving.

Every day, the experience progress of knotting is +52.

On the sixteenth day after the hundred techniques of knotting were promoted to Dacheng, which happened to be the first day of the first lunar month, Meng Zhou took another step forward in mastering the hundred techniques of knotting, and was promoted from Dacheng to master.

"Master 0/1600"

After becoming a master of knotting skills, the knotting skills of one hundred knotting methods have been completely integrated into the instinct of his hands and fingers.

How fast your hands are, how fast you can tie the rope.

Under extreme circumstances, if the residual images of his hands and fingers had substance, he would be able to complete a hundred knotting methods in his hands in less than three minutes.

Although this kind of high-intensity performance consumes a lot of energy, if you slow down a little and take necessary rest, the average experience will be +12 per hour.

However, because it takes some time to go to Xiangming Tower every day, the average daily experience is +140.

After more than ten days of persistence, on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, he further mastered the knotting techniques and advanced from master to grandmaster level.

"Grandmaster 0/3200"

This time he was promoted, but his knotting speed did not increase much, because at the master level, the ultimate knotting speed was close to the limit of his fingers.

This promotion will at most make him less mentally exhausted during high-intensity knotting, with an average of +15 experience points per hour.

As of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Meng Zhou stopped checking in at Xiangming Tower once a day and resumed normal retreat practice.

The Hundred Methods of Rope Knots has gone more than one-third of the way to the master stage.

"Grandmaster 1170/3200".

After that, he would spend fourteen hours every day on knotting techniques, and his daily experience would be +210.

Ten days later, on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, the day before the auction officially started.

The Hundred Methods of Knotting has successfully completed the last step from master to perfection.

After completing the hundred knotting methods, Meng Zhou's biggest gain was just like Zhang Wuji learning Tai Chi but forgetting Tai Chi. One hundred knotting methods suddenly became unimportant to him.

In his heart, there is only one rope, one thread.

He held Bai Ya, the rope spirit, and fiddled with it randomly with his fingers. The aura and spirit contained in the rope were completely at his will. How he wanted it to flow and what kind of properties he wanted it to change were all up to him.

He no longer needs to follow the hundreds of inherent knotting techniques, he can break them up, piece them together and reorganize them at will.

Follow your heart's desires without exceeding the rules.

It may seem chaotic, but in fact everything is in order.

With his hands and fingers, he can create new patterns at any time.

"The knot is perfect"

"Knot Master Level 1 100/100"

At this point, he has completely mastered the tool of knotting.

He had to walk the rest of the way by himself.

Meng Zhou was confused, but not worried. He would wait until the auction ends tomorrow.

The next day, Meng left Ruyiju early on Monday and came to Hexin Building in the central area.

At this moment, a large number of monks had gathered in front of Hexin Tower.

But not many are actually qualified to enter.

Although this auction is mainly for the foundation building group, it does not prohibit the participation of Qi practicing monks. In fact, there are many auctions specifically for Qi practicing monks.

But before entering the building, there is a capital verification link.

Those with less than 5,000 low-grade spiritual stones in their hands are not even qualified to enter.

Meng Zhou was naturally prepared for this. He put fifty middle-grade spiritual stones in a spiritual stone bag and easily qualified to enter.

At this moment, his heart moved and he looked to the side.

There, a beautiful female cultivator walked in holding the arm of a handsome male cultivator.

When passing the door, the two of them did not verify their capital. Instead, the male cultivator took out a token, shook it and walked in.

Meng Zhou's keen eyesight immediately saw the words on the token.

"Inner Gate Jinghao".

But what really attracted Meng Zhou was not him, but the stunning female cultivator holding his arm next to him.

Xu Wanzhen.
