Chapter 117: Catching ghosts and selling them for money, Red Hair Body Refining Technique, Seven Steps to Immortality
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
After entering, Shi Hao hurriedly expressed his thanks.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to get in for a moment.
"It's just a small favor."
Chen Yushu waved his hand.
Walking through the gate, you will immediately see a tall statue.
The statue is wearing armor, holding a spear in his hand, and stepping on a tiger, looking very majestic.
It was the statue of the unparalleled general.
However, they did not stop in front of the statue. Guided by someone in the distance, they went up the stairs next to them and entered a room.
As soon as they entered, a unique fragrance hit their noses, refreshing their minds.
"Faxiang?"
Chen Yushu's heart moved.
This kind of incense that can directly make people feel refreshed is naturally unusual and should be a Dharma incense without a doubt.
Then he saw the people inside.
The number is not large, but it is not small either.
Not only was there the shouting of the coffin bearer whom he had met once before, but also the shouting of two of the four ghost walkers he had seen earlier.
If he remembered correctly, these two had the cultivation level of two incense sticks.
However, there was another woman beside these two people, wearing a red scarf that covered her face. But judging from the expressions of the two men, it seemed that this woman was still the leader.
This surprised Chen Yushu a little.
Could it be that this woman's Taoism is even more advanced?
In addition, he noticed that although there was a man with his face covered, his figure and demeanor looked a bit like Lord Wu Hong of the Underworld Suppression Department.
After all, the face can be hidden, but the body shape will always leave traces.
However, he did not see Taoist Master Ma from Qingfeng Temple.
As for the organizers mentioned by Shi Hao before, Taoist Guangyi, Master Zhou, the Iron-hearted and Divine Calculator Wang Yi, and the Three Heroes of Lingxia... he did not know them because he had never seen them before.
At this time, a group of people entered and remained silent.
Someone did arrange tea.
But in places like this, no one dares to drink tea easily.
After a while, someone else came in.
Chen Yushu took a look and found that it was Feng the talisman maker from whom he had asked the price and bought the animal skin talisman paper.
"alright.
By now, almost everyone who can or wants to come in should have arrived."
Just when Chen Yushu was wondering how to carry out this activity, someone finally spoke.
One of the three standing together.
"These three are the Three Heroes of Lingxia."
Just at this moment, Shi Hao whispered something in his ear.
Chen Yushu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
If these three people are the Three Heroes of Lingxia, then who were the two who walked with two of them at the beginning?
Perhaps, because of his low ability, he was not included in the film.
Or was it deliberately hidden?
"good!"
Then, one of them nodded and said, "Everyone! Perhaps many of you know me, but of course there are also some new friends who are not familiar with me.
Here, let me introduce myself first.
My name is Wang Guangyi, also known as Guangyi Taoist, and I am also the initiator of this rally.
The main reason is that this time, many like-minded people have gathered together, and we can get together and share our knowledge with each other.
Of course, since everyone comes from different places, it is inevitable that there will be differences in ideas.
So in order to maintain good relations and avoid unnecessary casualties, I gathered everyone together to get to know each other first.
So that the next cooperation can go more smoothly..."
Chen Yushu glanced at the Taoist Guangyi, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a decent appearance, and indeed had an air of immortality.
“Originally, I didn’t want to initiate such a rally this time.
After all, although I, an old Taoist, have some reputation, I believe that I cannot compare with many fellow Taoists.
But out of respect from a few friends, and since they were gathering everyone together this time to discuss something, they shamelessly extended the invitation.
I am also very ashamed that so many people give me some face.
certainly.
We can postpone the discussion for now. As it is a gathering, transactions are inevitable.
So, let’s do the deal first.”
Upon hearing this, the others also nodded.
Opportunities in this kind of channel are originally oriented towards transactions.
As for other matters, it’s not too late to discuss them in detail after the transaction is completed.
“Then I’ll go first.
Many old friends should know that I have been practicing the Three Incense Sticks Taoism for a long time and have been searching for an opportunity to break through.
As we all know, the distance between three incense sticks and entering the Tao is like an insurmountable chasm, which is difficult for ordinary people to break through.
There are only three methods known today.
One is to enter the state of meditation and reach the level of great meditation. There is a certain probability of natural breakthrough, but this belongs to the category of "genius", so let's not talk about him.
The second method is to accumulate the essence of evil spirits. If you accumulate enough, you will naturally be able to break through.
But this number is uncertain.
And there is a high possibility of backlash. In mild cases, the temperament may change drastically, and in severe cases, the soul may change and the person may turn into an evil spirit, which is extremely harmful.
Therefore, we often choose the third option.
That is to take the pill.
So, I still say the same thing, here, I want to buy a Dao-initiating Pill, or if that's the next best thing, a Barrier-breaking Pill or a Meditation-initiating Pill will do, or even just need some information about such an elixir, I am willing to give up this piece of jade I carry with me in exchange.
This piece of jade is called health jade.
This health-preserving jade can prolong your life just by carrying it with you.
The previous owner, my master, lived to the age of 120 thanks to this jade.
In addition, this piece of jade also records a health-preserving exercise, Changchun Gong, which is the practice of ancient monks.
Although it is not suitable nowadays, it has many advantages.
If one finds a suitable spiritual or precious place, it might be possible to cultivate the 'spiritual power' used by ancient cultivators."
As he spoke, Taoist Guangyi looked at everyone with anticipation.
“Senior Guangyi, you also know that whether it is the Dao Entry Pill, the Barrier Breaking Pill, or the Meditation Entering Pill, they are all good things that countless people in the sects dream of.
How could it be possible to appear in this small Jianghuan Town?
It was hard to find a single pill in Qinghe County, let alone here."
Someone familiar with the situation, seeing the silence around him, couldn't help but speak up.
"I'm just asking a routine question."
Hearing this, Taoist Guangyi showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he just nodded, then took out a bronze mirror from his bosom and said, "Also, I have a Yin-Yang mirror here, which I found while traveling some time ago. It has the effect of reflecting Yin and Yang, and it also has a certain effect of imprisoning ghosts and gods.
The grade has also reached the level of a low-grade magical instrument. Who wants it? What's the price?"
Magical bronze mirror! Yin-Yang mirror!
Suddenly, everyone around showed excitement on their faces.
"One hundred taels of silver!"
"Three hundred taels!"
"Three hundred and fifty taels of silver!"
…
At this moment, silver seemed to be worthless, and its prices soared.
Many people made bids.
Chen Yushu noticed that even Lord Wu Hong from the Underworld Suppression Department followed suit and called out a price, but by the time he did, the price had already soared to five hundred taels of silver.
Chen Yushu opened his mouth, but when he realized that there were only three hundred taels of silver left in his pocket, he decisively shut it up.
Before, he thought he was now a man of some wealth.
It was not until this time that I realized that compared with the real rich people, he was still very poor.
Three hundred taels of silver are not enough to buy even a magic weapon.
Finally, this Yin-Yang mirror was bought by a hunchbacked old man, and the price he paid for it was as high as six hundred and fifty taels of silver.
Then, a fat old man came forward and said, "I've been planning to refine a furnace of Happy God Pills recently. I have all the other ingredients, but I'm still short of a precious medicine called Lotus Heart Grass.
If you happen to have some on you, I'd like to exchange them for three Hua Yuan Dan.
Of course, if you trust my alchemy skills, I can also give you a Happy Pill once the pill is ready.
By the way, this Happy Spirit Pill is a magical pill that can increase the spiritual awareness of those who have gone into the underworld. It also has a certain recovery effect on some cultivators who have suffered mental trauma."
"This is Master Zhou, a rare alchemist in the industry."
Shi Hao, standing aside, hurriedly introduced them, with a hint of envy and yearning on his face.
The eyes of others were also slightly heated.
Alchemists hold a very high status in the industry. If you can make friends with them, at least you will not lack the elixirs needed for your practice.
For example, this Happy Pill.
That is something that can directly enhance your mental strength.
For people in this industry, mental power is the way of doing things, and it is the outward manifestation of strength.
"It just so happens that I came across a Lotus Heart Grass when I was out and about. I'm having trouble figuring out how to deal with it, so I decided to exchange it with Master Zhou."
At this time, a slightly shorter man stepped forward, took out a wooden box from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Since Master Zhou is willing to exchange this Happy God Pill for three Hua Yuan Pills, it must be very extraordinary.
Then I will choose to wait for a while and ask for the Happy God Pill."
"good!"
Master Zhou first opened the wooden box, and after confirming that it was indeed lotus heart grass, he nodded happily and agreed to the transaction terms of the two.
Then of course the two of them would have some contact privately.
However, Master Zhou's deal was clearly not over yet. After a while, he spoke again, "Also, I have some Hua Yuan Dan here. Do you need any?
This Huayuan Pill is an elixir that increases a warrior's vitality and is very useful for warriors in the internal strength realm.
By the way, if we who are practicing the Yin sect have any method of body training, we can also use it to greatly increase our physical strength.
I have twenty of them, each worth fifty taels of silver."
"I need a few here."
"I'll have three too."
There is still a huge demand for this kind of elixir on site.
Even if you don't use it yourself, you can probably make some money by selling it to someone else.
After all, panaceas are hard to come by.
Chen Yushu hesitated for a moment and then bought three.
Seeing this, Shi Hao on the side also hurriedly spoke up and asked for three. Seeing Chen Yushu looking at him, he hurriedly explained: "In my sect, the stronger the body, the greater the force it can withstand.
I don't want to practice martial arts anymore. I'm not cut out for it.
But my mother-in-law said that I could learn the art of body training, but unfortunately she doesn’t have any good body training methods.
So, I came here this time to try my luck.”
As he spoke, all twenty Huayuan Pills were sold out.
Then more people come forward, take out the items they want to exchange, or what they need, and quote the prices one by one. Whoever has them and offers the right price can naturally be exchanged.
Of course, there are also situations like the Taoist Guangyi before, where the things needed are too precious or too rare, so no one has them.
In this case, the person who proposed the exchange will be greatly disappointed.
There are also cases where the treasures brought out are not pleasing to the eye.
Just like one of the three heroes at the foot of the mountain, he held a bag in his hand, stretched out his hand and waved, and immediately three little ghosts appeared.
“I found these specially, three little ghosts.
They can be used as religious ghosts. The age of each ghost is no more than three years, and their souls are pure. They have never harmed anyone and do not have much evil spirit.
If you like any of them, you can choose them.
One hundred taels of silver each."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.
Many people showed disgust on their faces.
Catch ghosts and sell them for money.
In the industry, it is actually quite despicable.
At least on the surface, everyone maintains basic decency and disdains to do such things.
However, since the other party will catch believers, there will naturally be such a market.
There was actually someone who spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a little ghost and left.
The remaining two, one with a lame leg and the other looking like a dirty little beggar, also bargained for the price, which was reduced to fifty and eighty taels, and then they were taken away.
Chen Yushu watched the whole process but did not participate.
Although, he actually also lacked a believer.
After all, he had learned how to raise a faithful ghost from Liu Qiaoer before.
But thinking that Xiaoyin was in his jade pendant, and these little ghosts were not to his liking, he gave up.
Then the scene was quiet for a while.
Then another person went up, it was the big man carrying the coffin.
"Here, I have a few donkey hooves that I made myself. They are quite effective against zombies.
I want to exchange for a few soul beads. If you don’t have soul beads, Yin bone jade will also do."
As he spoke, he took out a few donkey hooves from a snakeskin bag.
Seeing this, Chen Yushu suddenly remembered the donkey hoof that Zhao Yufeng, the corpse breeder next door, used to kill the evil zombie.
Not only is it effective against the evil zombie, but it is also extremely powerful and easy to use.
He was also very curious and eager at the time. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to buy it in this market. He was immediately attracted.
Chen Yushu quickly touched the jade pendant and his voice came in, "Xiaoyin, let me lend you some Yin Bone Jade. I'll pay you back double later."
Then, Chen Yushu saw a piece of red cloth in his hand.
When the red cloth was opened, five Yin Bone Jades were clearly visible.
Including the one he earned in the opera troupe during the day, that made six in total.
So, he stepped forward and said, "I have a few Yin Bone Jades here."
“Six Yin Bone Jades.
How about I give you two hooves?"
The big man took a look at the Yin Bone Jade in his handkerchief and spoke quickly.
Chen Yushu didn't know the price either, but after thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.
Soon, he had two donkey-hoof-like things in his hands. When he held them in his hands, a pungent and smelly smell came out.
He quickly found a piece of cloth to wrap it up, which covered up the smell.
There were also two people at the scene who were interested in the donkey's hoof. One took out a soul bead, and the other simply took out silver to buy it, and the transaction was completed.
Next, Chen Yushu was about to step forward, but saw Shi Hao suddenly walk forward.
“Here, I have a spiritual stone used by ancient cultivators, which contains pure energy and spiritual particles.
I want to exchange it for a method of body refining."
As Shi Hao spoke, he took out a sandalwood box from his arms and opened the box. A crystal stone the size of a baby's fist was immediately revealed in front of everyone.
"Spirit Stone!?"
"Is this really a spirit stone?"
Suddenly, one or two exclamations were heard.
Obviously someone knows about this treasure.
A hint of surprise also appeared on Chen Yushu's face.
He also knew about spirit stones.
For many days, he had been reading in the Wenchang Pavilion of Ningjing Academy, but it was not in vain.
Although most of the contents are poems, songs, essays and policies, there are also some general histories, records, and unofficial histories and legends.
It was mentioned that spirit stones were the common currency of the ancient strongmen, and were also a kind of energy crystal that could be used for absorption in cultivation, and their effects were no worse than many elixirs.
It’s just because many years ago, the environment of heaven and earth changed suddenly, yin and yang were divided, ghosts descended, and all kinds of spiritual energy dissipated. This kind of spiritual stone was consumed in large quantities, and it can be said that one less is one less.
Nowadays, it is rarely seen.
Unexpectedly, Shi Hao already had one in his hand.
"Here, I have a book called 'Red Hair Body Refining Technique'. If you practice it to a high level, you can become as powerful as a Red Hair Blood Zombie.
Of course, I only have the basic volume here, but it is also considered a top-level body refining method.
It's more than enough to exchange it for your spirit stone."
Soon, someone came forward and spoke.
"I also have a copy of 'Yin Qi Body Refining Method' here..."
Then someone else walked up.
Both of them took a fancy to the spirit stone in Shi Hao's hand.
In the end, Shi Hao hesitated for a moment and finally chose the book "Yin Qi Body Refining Method".
As for the "Red Hair Body Refining Technique", although it is more advanced, it only has the basic chapter, which is a bit useless. It is not as good as the "Yin Qi Body Refining Technique", which can be practiced continuously.
Soon, Shi Hao retreated.
Then, Chen Yushu rushed forward and saw Master Feng Fu walking up.
Then he took out a book and said, "This is a secret technique related to the soul leaving the body, the 'Seven Steps to Immortality'. I would like to exchange it for a Bull Essence Yellow Treasure. Is there anyone willing to do so?"
The scene suddenly became quiet.
The secret art of leaving the body.
In the inheritance of the Yin-walking people, it is also a very advanced "art", at least for everyone present, it is very advanced. Some inheritances are not perfect, and some have never even heard of it.
Finally, it was the Taoist Guangyi who stepped forward and said, "I am quite interested in your secret technique of leaving the body.
However, this Bull Spirit Yellow Treasure is a top-level beast treasure. Not only is it difficult to find a Bull Spirit, but even a Bull Spirit may not give birth to this Bull Spirit Yellow Treasure.
It can be said that only one in ten survives.
I am willing to exchange other items, such as gold and silver, with you. What do you think?"
"I won't exchange it for anything other than ox essence and yellow treasure."
Master Feng Fu shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Guangyi was silent for a while, sighed, and retreated.
Seeing that no one else said anything, Master Feng Fu knew that no one had what he needed, so he walked away.
Seeing this, Chen Yushu, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward, saying, "My needs are not high. I just need a portion that is large enough to act as a talisman against evil spirits.
If anyone can provide it, I am willing to exchange it for an equal value, or even a premium of one or two, which is not unacceptable.
In addition, this is the talisman I made.
They are the calming talisman, the ghost-killing talisman, the thunder-inducing talisman, the body-lightening talisman, and the spirit-inducing talisman. They believe that their power and effects are quite good.
Among them, the Ghost-killing Talisman can kill ordinary evil ghosts with one talisman, while the Thunder-attracting Talisman is more powerful. Even if a fierce ghost is in front of you, it will only take three to five talismans to kill it.
The Calming Talisman can calm the mind and assist in cultivation, with excellent results. The Lightening Talisman can make one as light as a swallow, and the Soul Attracting Talisman can gather spiritual particles, generally increasing their power by about two to three times compared to usual. This is equivalent to triple the effect of one practice."
As Chen Yushu spoke, he rummaged into his arms and took out a stack of talismans, which he displayed. Everyone could faintly feel the spiritual pressure emanating from the talismans.
"Are these ghost-killing talismans and lightning-inducing talismans really that powerful?"
"Can the Soul-Attracting Talisman really gather spiritual particles? To the extent of two or three times?"
"We have seen these talismans before. They are commonly used in the Chaoyang Taoist Temple. I don't think their effects are as strong as you said, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people couldn't help but ask questions.
Some people even refuted it.
Among them, Master Feng Fu's expression was the most interesting.
He looked at the talismans and thought about how he had previously thought that the other party was a beginner and might become his big customer in the future, so he generously sold all the animal skin talisman paper.
As a result, when he saw the talismans displayed by the other party, each one had a restrained aura but contained a powerful aura. They were much stronger than the talismans that Ta had displayed before.
Especially when he looked at these talismans, some of which had even reached the level of finished talismans, he was speechless again.
So, the other party is the real talisman maker?
At best, I am just a beginner?
Thinking about how he had underestimated the other party before, a trace of shame suddenly appeared on his face.
“There is a talisman master on the scene.
Naturally, one or two things can be verified.”
Chen Yushu spoke directly.
After hearing this, Master Feng thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "I am also a talisman master, and I can prove that these talismans are not ordinary talismans.
But it is a finished talisman that has reached the lower grade level.
Low-grade talismans are more than 50% stronger than ordinary talismans.
It does have the effect that this young friend mentioned."
Master Feng Fu continued to explain as he spoke, "Talismans are divided into four types: basic talismans, low-grade talismans, medium-grade talismans, and high-grade talismans.
Every time the talisman's grade is upgraded, its power will become much stronger.
Basic Talismans are the weakest, while Low-grade Talismans can increase the power of Basic Talismans by 50%.
A mid-grade talisman is 50% stronger than a low-grade talisman, almost twice the power of a basic talisman.
As for the top-grade talismans, they are 50% stronger than the mid-grade talismans.
These talismans are basically of the lower grade, and their power is indeed much stronger."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face showed excitement.
Especially at this moment, they all have to take the risk of entering the century-old tomb.
If you carry this talisman with you, your safety will be much more guaranteed.
