I glanced at Yu Banxia, who was still struggling to choose from the bookshelf.
After all, the dilemma is that if they choose spells that are too advanced, they will have just started and may not be able to learn them in a short time.
But if you choose a spell that is too basic, the exchange price will be too cheap, and you will lose the chance of a reward this time.
Fortunately, Jiang Li has less worries in this regard.
He touched the small pocket in his arms, and twenty-one spirit stones were lying quietly inside.
A bottle of Qi-nourishing Pills cost two spirit stones, and a bottle of Qi-restoring Pills cost one spirit stone. He used two bottles of Qi-nourishing Pills and two bottles of Qi-restoring Pills to exchange for six spirit stones from Yan Hong.
Together with his original fifteen spirit stones, he now had a total of twenty-one.
After he had made the breakthrough, Yan Hong helped him inquire about the prices of the spells in the Sutra Repository. Some of the most basic five-element spells even cost less than ten spirit stones.
Jiang Li saw that it was indeed the case.
When he chose the "Corpseed Puppet Technique" just now, he chose the one with the highest price in spirit stones.
However, on the Yin attribute bookshelves and the Wood attribute bookshelves, it was the opposite. He only looked at the row with the lowest prices. There was nothing he could do because he couldn't afford the slightly higher-end ones.
Without much hesitation, Jiang Li selected a spell from each side, then walked to the counter and handed them to Elder Li.
Elder Li from the Sutra Repository raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Li.
!
"Twenty Spiritual Stones."
Jiang Li's small bag immediately deflated, leaving only a lonely spirit stone lying there.
Elder Li casually put away the spirit stones. Such a small amount of spirit stones was not worthy of his attention at all. He handed over three jade slips and placed them on the counter.
Jiang Li has reached the Qi Refining Stage and is already capable of using his spiritual energy to use the jade slips on his own.
He sat on the cushion next to him, placed three jade slips on his forehead one after another, and slowly injected spiritual energy into them according to the techniques he learned in class. A large amount of information about the spells slowly flowed into his mind like liquid.
After using three jade slips in succession, my head still feels a little swollen, but I no longer feel the dizziness I felt the first time.
After returning the jade slip, Yu Banxia finally chose his own spell.
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
They tacitly did not exchange their chosen spells with each other, and parted ways amicably after leaving the inner gate area.
Jiang Li did not return to the dormitory to continue practicing, nor did he rush to try out the spells. Instead, he came to the functional area of the outer gate.
The functional area is where outer disciples conduct most of their daily activities, such as the trading area and the task area.
Jiang Li first walked into the trading area.
The trading area is very large, but the layout inside is very messy.
In addition to rows of shops with storefronts, there were also many disciples who spread a piece of cloth on the ground and sat down on the side of the road, setting up stalls like the night markets in their previous lives.
This made the outer gate trading area lively and chaotic at the same time.
The prices at street stalls are somewhat lower than those in stores, which has attracted many disciples who are short of money.
From time to time, disciples would come forward to look through the items and bargain.
Jiang Li would sometimes be one of them, but more often, he would just wander around aimlessly in the direction of the trading area.
He's certainly not boring.
With every step he took, he would use his level 3 identification skills crazily.
In fact, most of the things placed on the ground here are just some ordinary sundries, weapons used by mortal warriors, swords, guns, sticks and so on, which are at most more sophisticated.
There are also some animal skins, bones, internal organs and other biological materials, most of which are the additional trophies brought back by outer disciples when they go out on missions.
Elixirs, magic weapons, fragments of secret manuals and other items of cultivators can also be seen here, but the quantity is quite rare, and nearly half of them are either broken or fake.
We are not fools. We would hide away anything that is slightly better or valuable. It is hard to find it here.
However, the security in the outer gate trading area is quite good. The disciples just spread their items on the ground, and no one has ever been seen stealing or robbing.
After all, the existence of the Law Enforcement Hall is a huge deterrent to them.
"Yanhong, how's business today?"
When Jiang Li walked deeper, he saw his friend with a chubby head.
Yan Hong also occupied an ordinary stall in the trading area, and was very cautious in doing some reselling activities.
There weren't many things on his cloth, just a few bottles of basic elixirs and several basic spiritual materials. They were common goods that were everywhere on the street. Jiang Li had seen them at least twenty times along the way, and only a few people came forward to ask about the price.
"Haha, Jiang Li, it's you who came. Today's harvest is good. I plan to wait a little longer and officially open next month."
Yan Hong waved a booklet in his hand, which was filled with densely packed names and numbers.
With such a bleak business, the gains he mentioned were certainly not spirit stones, but just these numbers.
Yan Hong has been hanging around in this market for more than ten days. After figuring out the rules from the beginning, he casually set up a stall and sat here.
Their nineteen subordinates were also called over, and every day they found different ways to ask about prices and negotiate prices throughout the entire trading area. Finally, the information was reported to Yan Hong, who would record and count it.
He was a newcomer and didn't know how to start doing business without first understanding the market conditions.
"You are really a good businessman. The 19 monthly payments from them next month will be used as start-up capital. Don't give me any for now. But don't fall behind in your Qi training."
Jiang Li naturally expressed his support for this. After all, if he had a businessman friend supporting him, it would be of great help to him whether he was acquiring resources or selling items.
"I know, I know. Brother, I have a top-grade spiritual root, so you can rest assured."
"By the way, didn't you go to pick spells today? How did your selection go? Are there any special resources you need? I can keep an eye out for them for you."
Yan Hong remembered this.
Jiang Li thought about it, sorted out the spell information in his mind, and found that there was really something he needed.
"Are there any zombies for sale in the outer trading area? What's the specific price?"
Yan Hong was stunned and scratched his head, looking thoughtful.
After reminiscing for a moment, he put some saliva on his fingers and began to flip through the book quickly.
"There are zombies, but they are too big to be carried around, and there is little demand for them in our Sutra Valley, so the outer disciples rarely capture them when they encounter them."
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"So there are only two shops outside the gate that sell zombies, and their quality is very low, but the price is very high. Generally speaking, it is not cost-effective."
"Well, okay, then you can help me keep an eye out for them. It would also be okay if you could find a way to capture zombies or refine zombies."
"Also, please help me find some seeds of spiritual trees and spiritual materials. I don't need them urgently. I can get some if the price is right."
Jiang Li stated his needs, Yan Hong nodded, and wrote down the two points on paper.
"See you later then. I have to go to the mission area again to see if there are any missions that can be accepted in the early stages of Qi training."
After practicing the identification technique for an hour as usual, Jiang Li walked towards the mission area.
This identification technique is a skill that comes with the panel, but the slow upgrade process is as frustrating as ever. I can only take time out every day to brush up the progress, but haste makes waste.
However, what he learned in the past few days made him deeply understand his own poverty.
The monthly salary given by the sect is far from enough, and he needs to think of a way to earn more spirit stones.
However, he didn't know how to make pills or refine weapons. As a novice without any skills, he could only go to the mission area to see if there were any tasks suitable for him.
After all, in Sutra Valley, outer disciples must be forced to carry out their mission after one year, and some disciples have not even drawn Qi into their bodies.
Even they can receive missions in the mission area, so why can't Jiang Li, who is in the early stage of Qi training, do it?
The outer sect mission area was a large indoor hall, with a large number of disciples as well. They were talking in groups of three or five, while more of them were gathering in front of three large signs to check out the missions they could accept.
And here, Jiang Li could clearly sense an atmosphere that was different from the trading area.
The expressions of the disciples here are obviously more anxious than those in the trading area. Some of the disciples who have been here for years have even colder faces, as if everyone they see is the enemy who murdered their father.
From time to time, a few older outer disciples would come back to hand in tasks. Some of them were covered in blood, while others were even carrying some unknown monsters, looking quite ferocious.
Jiang Li looked into it and found out that although the mission area did not have any requirements for accepting the mission, it was still considerate enough to divide the mission into three levels of difficulty to recommend acceptance based on one's ability.
The initial stage of Qi training and below, the middle stage of Qi training and the late stage of Qi training.
Although these three stages are all Qi Refining Stage, the gap between them can often reach several times or even dozens of times.
Jiang Li estimated his own strength. He had only started practicing Qi for a few days and had not yet mastered any spells or magic.
The only secondary profession of an internal martial artist can at most make his body stronger than that of an ordinary person in the early stage of Qi training. It doesn't seem to have much advantage here.
However, in terms of recovery ability, he is more confident because of his good condition.
As he was thinking, he realized, "I am very ordinary and I am sorry." Then he walked to the task board for the initial stage of Qi training with a sincere heart.
