When Lin Jiang arrived at the West City Market , he found many people gathered together, holding the mentality of eating melons and watching the show. Lin Jiang also leaned over to take a look and found that the guards of Yunzhong City were escorting three immortal cultivators, both men and women.
Through the conversations of the people next to him, Lin Jiang knew that these three people were assassins of the Dark Night Organization, who were captured by Yunzhong City and were about to be beheaded.
"Beheadings are things that people in the immortal world also like to watch."
Lin Jiang looked at the crowd of onlookers inside and outside, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then Lin Jiang himself started to watch, without any intention of moving his feet.
"Brother, why don't they do it yet?"
"Fishing"
"Fishing?"
"Yes, there are many people in the Dark Night Organization, and there are still many who have not been caught. They are waiting for the people of the Dark Night Organization to rescue them. I heard that the other two large markets are doing the same." "
The people of the Dark Night Organization won't be so stupid, right?"
"Who knows?"
Lin Jiang saw someone discussing why they didn't take action for a long time. Lin Jiang also felt that it made sense, but he felt that the people of the Dark Night Organization wouldn't be so stupid.
Yunzhong City has a Yuanying Patriarch sitting in charge all year round. If the Yuanying Patriarch is not good enough, the two major sects still have the Huashen Patriarch waiting. With the strength of the Huashen Patriarch, it would only take a blink of an eye for him to rush over from the two sects' mountain gates .
The fact is just as Lin Jiang expected. The Yunzhong City guards waited for more than an hour, but no one came to rob the execution ground. Knowing that no one came, they took action.
"Good"
The executioner raised his knife and fell, and the onlookers cheered loudly. There was no such thing as a blood-stained steamed bun. Immortal cultivators are not superstitious.
Lin Jiang followed the crowd and dispersed. He seemed to see Zhang Ruifang vaguely, but he was not sure. He didn't want to deal with Zhang Ruifang too much.
Back to his stall, Lin Jiang started selling talismans. In the past few days, Lin Jiang's talisman technique has improved again. He can draw ten first-level high-quality talismans a day.
This is not something incredible. Lin Jiang could draw first-level high-quality talismans decades ago. He has been at this level for decades and his talisman drawing skills are extremely proficient.
In addition, he has practiced the Soul Refining Technique for decades and taken the Soul Nourishing Pill. His consciousness is much stronger than that of the average ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, so it is natural for his talisman skills to improve.
This is Lin Jiang's unique advantage. Think about other cultivators with good qualifications. Those who break through the foundation-building stage in their thirties or forties can stay in the late stage of Qi Refining for a long time, and the time they stay is mainly for cultivation.
If those with poor qualifications stay for a long time, after the age of sixty, their Qi and blood will begin to decline, let alone further progress. It is already good to be able to maintain the same state.
Only Lin Jiang has always maintained his peak state, and with the passage of time, his talisman drawing skills have continued to improve, so he has achieved such an achievement.
"Ten talismans a day, if all are sold, we can break even again."
Lin Jiang estimated that if all the talismans can be sold, his net income per day will be about ninety, a high income in the Qi Refining stage, which can almost break even. If he saves a little more, he can save a little every year.

There is no planned living market in Yunzhong City. All the stalls are in the big market. The cultivation resources such as elixirs, talismans, and arrays are in the big market, as are fruits and vegetables, as well as food and snacks. I don’t know if Zhang Ruifang did it
on purpose. Since Lin Jiang helped her once in Sanjiangkou, he often saw her in the big market. But every time he saw her, Zhang Ruifang had no killer temperament at all. Instead, she looked like a housewife, buying vegetables every day. "Look at that foundation-building senior, he also buys vegetables and cooks every day. Is the foundation-building period similar to ordinary women?" Lin Jiang asked the people around him. Shouldn’t the foundation-building period be detached from the mundane world? Not all fairy-like, but not like a woman, right? “Is there anything strange about this? Cultivators are also human beings. Although the foundation-building cultivators can theoretically not eat for half a year, everyone has been eating for decades. Who would like to chew fasting pills every day? Besides, spiritual food can increase spiritual energy and it does not cause poison. If Fellow Daoist Lin goes to the restaurant, you will find that there are many foundation-building cultivators there.” “I see, thank you for your advice.” “Nothing, but this senior is a bit strange. Don’t you make money by hanging around like this every day?” said a vendor on the side. The foundation-building cultivators in Yunzhong City are also very busy every day, trying to get spiritual stones and resources.
Seeing that everyone around him was suspicious, Lin Jiang quickly changed the topic. If he continued to explore, something might happen. However, as they chatted, they talked about the killer organization again.
According to them, there have been many killer organizations in Yunzhong City over the past few hundred years. Most of them are small-scale, that is, they are not many people and are put together temporarily. They can do the business of hiring killers to kill people.
Compared with the Dark Night Organization, those killers are very amateurs, while the Dark Night is much more professional. Their killer organizations are carefully cultivated. The cultivation methods are mainly killing, and they are proficient in various skills. Even if they are in the foundation building stage, they may be assassinated by the killers in the Qi training stage.
Therefore, the two major sects hate the killer organizations very much and destroy them as soon as they see them. Look, the Dark Night was besieged by the two major sects. After the battle of Sanjiangkou, the two major sects took action and the Dark Night organization suffered heavy losses. Now there is no sound, and it may have been disbanded.
Lin Jiang could not deny this. He felt that even if Zhang Ruifang was lurking, the Dark Night could not be disbanded.
"Forget it, forget it, it's none of your business, don't worry about it, it's best to be safe and sound."
Finally, Lin Jiang shook his head. He couldn't care about this kind of shit. The more he cared, the faster he died. He just had to live his own life.
As time went by, Lin Jiang's spiritual power became more and more mellow, and it never stopped growing. This was a very good thing, because on the road of cultivation, you will encounter a very pitfall, that is, the bottleneck.
The bottleneck is a very strange thing, that is, no matter how you practice, your spiritual power will not grow, and you don't know where the refined spiritual power has gone. It is
also difficult to solve the bottleneck. Some people rely on pills, such as the famous barrier-breaking pill, but the barrier-breaking pill is not only expensive, but also not effective for everyone.
Some people go out to practice. There is a theory that bottlenecks will only occur when there is a problem with the state of mind, so you have to travel around and experience different things, and the bottleneck will be broken. Some people
rely on endurance. If they keep enduring, it is possible that the bottleneck will be solved naturally. Of course, the biggest possibility is that they will die of old age.
Lin Jiang has no signs of bottleneck yet, which is considered lucky. Of course, there are many people who don't have bottlenecks, such as Lin Die and Lin Ying. They both built their foundation early. There is no way there is a bottleneck in the Qi training stage, but I don't know about the foundation building stage.
"I have been practicing Qi for almost four years. I expect to reach the perfection of Qi training in another ten years. After Qi training is perfect, I have to find a way to build a foundation. I just don't know how many foundation building pills I need for my rubbish talent."
Lin Jiang pondered. There are geniuses who can break through without foundation building pills, but obviously, Lin Jiang is not such a genius.
He has already inquired about it. There are foundation building stages with five spiritual roots, but he has never heard of casual cultivators with five spiritual roots who can build foundations, because casual cultivators don't have money to buy a lot of foundation building pills, and they can't even afford one foundation building pill.
Don't look at the foundation building pill as only 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones, but for the Qi training stage, this is already a sky-high price. Ordinary people practice at the age of twelve, and their qi and blood begin to decline at the age of sixty, so there is a saying that the sixty-year-old is the limit.
That is to say, ordinary people only have 48 years in total for the Qi training period. In these 48 years, to improve the cultivation level of the tenth level of the Qi training period, a lot of resources are invested every year. In addition, there are expenses such as food, drink, defecation and urination. It is too difficult to save another 20,000 or 30,000 spirit stones.
This is also the reason why casual cultivators envy the sects and families. The families and sects not only have territories and can continuously generate income every year, but also gather manpower and can raise funds to do big things. This is far from what casual cultivators can do alone.
"I've thought about it, I've thought about it, let's get back to the topic. How many foundation-building pills should I prepare?"
Lin Jiang quickly retracted his divergent thinking, stopped thinking about it, and planned how to build the foundation.
According to the information Lin Jiang had inquired about, some five spirit roots from big families who wanted to build the foundation had to prepare at least two foundation-building pills, and also prepared some auxiliary pills, plus an environment with abundant spiritual energy, and guards of masters to ensure their stable environment.
If Lin Jiang also had to prepare these conditions, then the consumption of spirit stones would be more than 100,000, or even more.
"Prepare four foundation-building pills. Other auxiliary pills and environmental factors will cost 10,000 to 20,000 spirit stones, which means it will cost more than 100,000. With this calculation, it will take 100 years to save 1,000 spirit stones a year. It turns out that the hope of the lower-class people lies in mutation."
Lin Jiang calculated with his fingers. This consumption is too great. If the lower-class cultivators do not have good qualifications, then they really have no hope of breaking through the foundation-building period.
