Chapter 108 Frost Blade

Zheng Fa followed Senior Sister Yuan on a tour around the market town, mainly to familiarize himself with the duties of the market town manager.

Sister Yuan introduced as she walked:

"The market we are talking about is actually divided into three parts, to be more precise - the square where the big shops are, the market where the small shops are, and the market consisting of those small stalls."

"Our main task is to maintain order in these three places. The first thing is to make sure that no one bullies or bullies happen. The second thing is to prevent some scoundrels or high-level monks from bullying the shop owners."

Senior Sister Yuan really knows all about this.

"We don't need to worry about those big stores. They are all owned by the big sects of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and almost no one dares to cause trouble." Senior Sister Yuan said, "Well, no matter how expensive the things they sell are, we can't do anything about it."

Zheng Fa was silent.

These big shops not only have backgrounds, but also have rare spiritual materials.

For Jiushan Sect, they also contributed the most rent.

The God of Wealth has a fist as big as his own, and no one can afford to offend him, nor does anyone want to offend him.

"But we need to be more careful in these markets and streets."

"The shops in the market are generally very honest. Most of them are opened by immortals, and they are the only ones who have the capital. These people may not be kind, but they are definitely afraid of trouble from Senior Sister Zhang."

"But it's hard to say about those stalls. There are all kinds of people there. They are the most difficult to manage and there are the most disputes."

"Most of my disciples will be patrolling this market." Senior Sister Yuan said, "By the way, when are you going to meet them?"

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said, "Let's wait a few more days."

It was right for him to meet these disciples on duty in the market, but he could also sense that this matter was not that simple.

Not only does he have a low level of cultivation, but he also has little experience, having only been in the sect for two months.

Even with Senior Sister Zhang backing him up, it wouldn't be smooth sailing to manage such a large market.

Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Senior Sister Zhang.

Is her talent not good? She is the fastest in building a foundation in the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and the recognized number one in the art of talismans before Zheng Fa.

Isn't her background strong? Her master is a Yuanying Zhenren.

But Zheng Fa could also understand from Sister Zhang's story that she had experienced many disputes and doubts along the way.

Background and talent cannot solve everything in the immortal sect.

"Okay then! Let's set it for half a month later!" Senior Sister Yuan seemed to have noticed something and patted his arm: "It's okay, Senior Sister, I will help you!"

Zheng Fa bowed to Senior Sister Yuan to express his gratitude.

After Senior Sister Yuan introduced Zheng Fa to him, she took his arm and ran around in the market that was full of stalls.

“Come, come, come!”

"Senior sister?"

"Although there are so many shops, there are only a few that have good stuff!"

Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little excited. He had been in Jiushan Sect for so long, but he had hardly spent any money here - he was afraid of making a mistake and falling into a trap.

It was obvious that Senior Sister Yuan was well-connected there, so maybe she could introduce me to some reliable stores, which would make it convenient for me to buy magic weapons, spiritual materials, etc. in the future.

"The meat pie here is a traditional craft!" Senior Sister Yuan pointed to a stall and said, "The seasoning is secret, and the meat is rich and oily!"

"…Is this the good thing you mentioned, Senior Sister?"

"Of course, walk forward a hundred steps, then turn right and the third stall is a delicious cake stall... I'll tell you a secret, Senior Sister Zhang loves their osmanthus cake the most!"

“…”

"By the way, there is a meat skewer stall at the entrance of the market. It has been in business for more than ten years and has a very good reputation!" Sister Yuan said as she looked at Zheng Fa proudly: "I have told you all the treasure shops I have found out about over the years!"

"...Thank you, senior sister." Zheng Fa thanked with difficulty.

"It's okay. I promised Senior Sister Zhang that I would teach you well!" Senior Sister Yuan patted her chest and quietly leaned close to Zheng Fa's ear and whispered, "There is a grain store in the market town. The spiritual grains there are especially delicious! No one else knows about this, only I buy it!"

She looked so sincere that I didn't tell anyone else.

"Senior Sister... Is it possible that others don't buy it because most people's tastes are different from yours?"

Thinking of Senior Sister Yuan's true form, Zheng Fa was silent for a while and then asked.

…

Thirteen days later.

Zheng Fa’s courtyard.

He sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding a green jade bottle in his right hand.

He pointed the bottle mouth at the palm of his left hand, and a Ningyuan Pill rolled into his hand.

This was what he bought today with all his wealth - including the wages given by Senior Sister Yuan and the income from selling talismans these days.

If he had not advanced to the second level of Qi training and could draw two more talismans every day, he might not have been able to save up enough twenty spirit stones.

This is also the reason why he asked Senior Sister Yuan to wait a few more days before introducing him to the disciples in the market town - he wanted to condense the second Yuan Fu first.

The first Yuan Fu he chose was the Upright Shadowless Fu, mainly to ensure his own safety in the modern world.

But the upright shadowless talisman is of little use in the Xuanwei world.

This time, Zheng Fa’s goal was very clear - to find something powerful, and preferably one with a cooler effect.

Senior Sister Zhang said that he was a Xuan-grade Talisman Master, which was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but Zheng Fa did not think so.

The main thing is that anyone can buy talismans. Does holding a Xuan-grade talisman mean one can be said to be at the foundation-building stage?

I'm afraid these disciples from the market town don't recognize them very much - everyone envies the krypton gold warriors, but on the other hand, it's inevitable that some people will look down on them.

But the "Foundation Building Method of Talismans" is different. It can allow Zheng Fa to transform talismans into magic.

Being able to cast Foundation Establishment spells instantly, there is nothing wrong with saying that you are half at the Foundation Establishment stage.

According to Senior Sister Zhang's classification, the Upright Shadowless Talisman is of the feminine and earth element.

Earth produces metal, so the talisman that Zheng Fa chooses must be feminine, metal.

There aren't many options.

Senior Sister Zhang only tried a small part of the talismans, and Zheng Fa could only condense the Yuan Fu - according to Senior Sister Zhang, the talismans were too complicated, and one Ning Yuan Dan was not enough.

Among these optional meta-talismans, the best choice he could find was the Frost Blade Talisman.

This talisman is not only powerful, but also has considerable lethality.

It can also freeze the enemy's body, slowing down their movements.

It is also very popular among talisman masters.

Zheng Fa raised his head and swallowed the Ningyuan Pill into his throat. He skillfully mobilized the spiritual power in his body and condensed it into the Yuanfu pattern of the Frost Blade Talisman in his Dantian.

With the strength of his soul and the fact that this was not the first time he had condensed a Yuan Fu, this was not a difficult task for him.

But when he was condensing the Frost Blade Talisman, he also found that the medicinal power of this Ningyuan Pill seemed to be one or two points weaker than the last time.

This is probably the drug resistance that Senior Sister Zhang mentioned in "The Foundation Building Method of the Way of Talismans".

After the Frost Blade Talisman was condensed, it fell directly next to the upright Shadowless Talisman. The two seemed like a perfect match, and together they formed a somewhat complicated pattern.

Zheng Fa tried it and after condensing the Frost Blade Talisman, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy during cultivation became faster.

Market town.

Six disciples dressed in green were patrolling the aisle left by the stalls.

The other five people surrounded a senior brother who looked a bit older, and seemed to be led by this person.

The vendors on both sides looked at these people with a bit of awe, and even the sound of their hawking became a little quieter when they passed by.

It can be seen how popular these people are in the market.

But this time these people had no intention of showing off. As they walked, they moved their lips quietly and talked to each other in low voices.

"Have you heard about that? That Zheng Fa."

"It has already spread. We have to hand over this market to him."

"He is only at the second level of Qi training and has only been practicing for two months. Senior Sister Zhang really dotes on him..."

The three were talking about the fact that Zheng Fa was going to take over the market.

Senior Sister Zhang did not intend to hide this matter from anyone. Not only the disciples in the market who were well-informed, but even some people in the shops in the market had heard about it.

“…If you ask me, he has a good talent in the art of talismans, but it’s a bit too much to promote him like this.” A short and strong disciple said in a muffled voice.

"This was appointed by Senior Sister Zhang."

"Is Senior Sister Zhang always right?" the disciple said indignantly, "Let's not talk about anything else. Who can accept a Qi training level 2 person?"

"There's a riot in the market, can he calm it down?"

"He is a talent in talismans, so he should just draw talismans well. But the market cannot be managed by drawing a few talismans. He has only been a student for two months and has not even figured out the Nine Mountains Sect. How can he manage the market well?"

"..." The others looked at each other and felt that what this person said made sense.

"According to you, who should be in charge? Do you want me to be in charge?"

The short and strong disciple glanced at the senior brother among them who had been silent the whole time and said, "It would be fine if Senior Sister Yuan was the one who was in charge all the time. But if it wasn't Senior Sister Yuan, I think Senior Brother Yang would be the best."

The others were stunned and looked at Senior Brother Yang.

"Brother Yang is not only in the late stage of foundation building, but he also has connections in Jiushan Sect for decades and has worked in the market for many years. Is he much better than Zheng Fa?"

Several other people were also moved.

On the one hand, they certainly felt that what this person said made some sense.

But on the other hand, they have a good relationship with Senior Brother Yang. If Senior Brother Yang has a bright future, they can certainly benefit from it.

Senior Brother Yang waved his hand and said, "I have no desire for power. Besides, Senior Sister Zhang has spoken, so we can only obey her orders."

"Brother Yang, the amount of spirit stones that flow through the market manager every month is more than we have ever seen in our entire lives," the short and strong disciple instigated.

Senior Brother Yang was silent for a while, then looked at him and said, "What you said makes sense. How about this, when you meet Zheng Fa in a few days, tell him this - and don't mention my name. I support you to be the manager of this market!"

"...How dare I oppose Senior Sister Zhang?"

"I dare?" Senior Brother Yang sneered.

The others didn't know what to say.

Among the disciples in Fangshi, many of them have objections to Zheng Fa being in charge of Fangshi, or rather, the majority of them.

The reasons behind this are complicated.

As an old disciple, he was of course indignant when being suppressed by a new disciple who was at the second level of Qi training.

On the other hand, it also shows a lack of trust in Zheng Fa's abilities.

But what’s more important is the interests, they all want to replace it - this position represents too many spirit stones.

But no one dared to openly oppose Senior Sister Zhang, and everyone was hoping that someone would step forward.

"Anyway, I just don't accept it, and Zheng Fa is too young." The short and strong disciple said gritting his teeth.

The others were also silent. Zheng Fa's youth meant something very disadvantageous to them - he could sit in the position of manager of the market town for a long time, leaving no chance for others. If it was a Jindan like Senior Sister Yuan, they certainly wouldn't dare to object, but Zheng Fa's cultivation was too low.

“Why not go find Senior Sister Yuan and let her help us out!” Seeing everyone silent, the short and strong disciple gritted his teeth and said.

"Hmm?" Senior Brother Yang raised his head and looked at the man.

"Senior Sister Yuan cares the most about the position of manager of this market." The disciple analyzed: "Now Senior Sister Zhang wants Junior Brother Zheng to be in charge of this market. Isn't Senior Sister Yuan the one who is the most angry?"

"Why did I hear that Senior Sister Yuan and Zheng Fa have a good relationship?"

"Do you believe it?" the short and strong disciple retorted, "With such a huge profit, even a husband and wife can turn against each other!"

"Besides, if they really have a good relationship, why not just give the position to Zheng Fa?" The more he spoke, the more he felt that he was right: "Is Zheng Fa stupid? Does he want to have another senior sister above him?"

"you mean?"

"Senior Sister Yuan is reluctant to give up this position, and Senior Sister Zhang cannot be too partial to Zheng Fa, so we can only compromise like this. In the future, one of these two will definitely fight for it, and only when they fight will we have a chance."

The short and strong junior brother raised his chin, looking very wise, and he was just about to take a fan and wave it in front of his chest.
