"When you are in the martial arts world, you can't help yourself. Brother Xie, come and spar with me in Yingchun Tower in your next life. Anyway, I don't have a next life."
Outside the cave, Lin Jiang dealt with Xie Youjia. For a moment, Lin Jiang felt a little guilty, but he recovered quickly. In this world for more than a hundred years, the concept of Blue Star has become weaker and weaker, and he has become a native.
There is nothing he can do about it. If he still maintains the legal concept of the peaceful era, he would have died long ago, and the world of immortal cultivation would not be able to survive.
Back home, Lin Jiang opened Xie Youjia's storage bag. Xie Youjia lost tens of thousands of spirit stones, and his wealth has been shrunk. He only has less than 30,000 spirit stones, and some sundries, such as flying swords, array plates, and materials for refining arrays.
Lin Jiang picked out the jade slips inside and took a look. He gave up the skills directly. He didn't find any high-level skills for ordinary casual cultivators. Most of them were yellow-level or low-grade Xuan-level, and he had seen middle-grade Xuan-level skills.
Lin Jiang had two Xuan-level skills from Liu Jian and Shen Bo, but the characteristics of these skills were too obvious. They were all suitable for water-type spiritual roots. He didn't want to learn them, so he put them aside.
"I already have hundreds of skills and secrets. I can build a small library."
Lin Jiang sighed. Since his debut, he has killed many people and obtained more storage bags. There are some jade slips in almost every storage bag. In addition to the ones he bought, there are seven or eight hundred of them. They are placed in a separate room, and several cabinets are full.
"Basic Array Collection"
"One Hundred Killing Arrays" " On
the Thirty-six Variations of the Trapped Array"
Two days later, Lin Jiang took the jade slips he found from Xie Youjia's storage bag and read them with relish. The basic array is not difficult, or the entry-level knowledge of Dan Fu Qi Array, Ling Zhifu Puppetry, etc. is not difficult, because it has been learned by countless people, and various experiences are widely circulated.
But any craft is easy to learn but difficult to master. If you want to make money and eat with it, you have to pay a lot of effort, and it is closely related to talent.
After getting Sun Man's storage bag, Lin Jiang also became interested in alchemy, especially since Sun Man had a complete record of alchemy, which was very suitable for beginners. Lin Jiang also wondered if he could learn an alchemy skill to try to learn more skills.
But after studying seriously for half a month, Lin Jiang gave up completely because it was too difficult.
To give a simple example, ordinary non-alchemists only need to know about a thousand common spiritual medicines for the spiritual medicine of the cultivation world, which is basically enough for life. If it is a finished elixir, it is even simpler, knowing a hundred kinds is enough.
But for alchemists, the most basic medicine identification requires more than 30,000 kinds of spiritual medicines to be remembered, and it is not just a simple memory of the name of a medicinal material, but also their medicinal properties, dosage and many other factors, and even the changes of spiritual medicines in different environments. They all need to be memorized, and they can recite them backwards.
Seeing this, Lin Jiang gave up. He had to admit that everyone has their own specialty. Alchemy is a systematic science. It is not something that can be mastered by just studying for a few days. Similarly, the same is true for his talisman drawing technique. If an alchemist can learn it by just looking at the talismans for a few days, then this person is either a genius of the demon level or a braggart.
"It is a false proposition that many skills are better than many others."
"Don't use your interests to challenge other people's professions."
"It is better to master one than to master ten skills roughly."
Lin Jiang repeatedly reminded himself. This can be regarded as his life experience. He is not a genius. If he is a genius, he would have shown it in his childhood. He is not even a talent. He is just an ordinary person.
His advantage is time. Even if it is drawing talismans, he has acquired the skills by spending more time than others, not just learning it in one go.
So Lin Jiang is now looking at the jade slips related to the formation, not to become a powerful formation master. He just wants to know more about the formation, so that he will not be cheated by unscrupulous merchants when buying formations in the future.
······
Yuntuo River, Lin Jiang emerged from the water, cursing, because some of the spiritual herbs he left behind were taken away by others, and he lost a lot of money.
Lin Jiang took in Liu Dong and Liu Siyu in return. Liu Hui gave him a treasure map, not a real treasure map, but a distribution map of some spiritual herbs at the bottom of Yuntuo River.
Lin Jiang later found all the spiritual herbs according to the map, but many of them were still young and not worth much, so he kept them. After that, he came to take a look every five years and took away the mature ones.
But every time he came, there would be less batches, and the people who picked the herbs were very wicked, not even letting go of the seedlings. If Liu Dong hadn't compensated him, he would have lost a lot of money.
"I'm so angry. I'm going to Yingchun Tower to ask the fairy to help me relieve myself,"
Lin Jiang said bitterly at last. There were not many spiritual medicines left at the bottom of the river, and he was not going to come. He would leave them to other people with predestined relationships.
In fact, Lin Jiang had quite a few spiritual medicines, all of which were inherited from Sun Man. There were hundreds of acres of ordinary second-level spiritual medicines, and the spiritual medicine garden behind the house had fourth-level spiritual medicines. However, the fourth-level spiritual medicines were not yet mature, and Lin Jiang was still investing continuously. It was estimated that it would take at least a hundred years.
On the other hand, Lin Jiang had already harvested a batch of spiritual medicines from the second-level spiritual medicine garden, and it had reached a good training cycle, and new seeds fell and took root.
It was precisely because of these incomes that Lin Jiang was able to practice in seclusion in the past few years and reduce the time spent on drawing talismans. Otherwise, he would spend half of his time drawing talismans to make money, so what was the point of practicing in seclusion?
In fact, this is also the dilemma of most low-level cultivators. They have to spend a lot of time working to make money every day, but the money they earn is only enough for rent and food and clothing. They cannot have enough resources to invest in cultivation. Their cultivation level is slowly improving, and their cultivation level is not high, so they don’t earn much money. They have to spend more time to make money. This vicious cycle will never get them out of this dilemma.
Therefore, for the low-level cultivators, the only chance to break through this dilemma is to keep warm together, form a sect or family power, and then by sacrificing part of their cultivation, concentrate resources on some of them with good qualifications and understanding. After these people become strong, they can protect these people and obtain more resources through violence, thus becoming a virtuous circle.
Unfortunately, this path is not suitable for Lin Jiang. This is also one of the reasons why Lin Jiang left the Lin family. Otherwise, with his identity as the second generation of the Lin family, even if his qualifications are poor, his treatment cannot be too bad.
When I came to Yingchun Tower, I met some familiar people. In fact, the circle was small. Although there were many foundation-building cultivators in Yunzhong City, the number was much less than that of independent cultivators. Lin Wu had used this identity for many years. Most of the independent cultivators in the foundation-building stage had met each other several times, even if they were not familiar with each other.
The only advantage was that Lin Jiang did not need to change his identity frequently. With a life span of 200 years in the foundation-building stage, he could use this identity for more than 100 years.
The incident in Anhua City had brought some negative impact on Lin Jiang's reputation. Some people thought that Lin Jiang was vicious and colluded with Anhua City to cheat them, so they kept a distance from Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang accepted this with pleasure. He did not need those ineffective social interactions. It was enough to maintain basic social interactions.
"Master, I'm your little fairies, do you remember me?"
"Master, I'm Ah Mei, we were together a few days ago..."
"Master..."
Lin Jiang is a regular customer of Yingchunlou. As soon as he entered, a bunch of fairies came, and 90% of them had talked to Lin Jiang before. Now they all came together, and Lin Jiang couldn't handle it. He was a thin-skinned person.
"Well, what's going on?"
Lin Jiang quickly pulled the mother of the fairies to ask.
"Master, it's all because of Anhua City..."
The old procuress who still had charm complained to Lin Jiang. Anhua City was really kind and didn't cheat the poor. The people who were cheated this time were either in the late stage of Qi training or the foundation building stage.
The early and middle stages of Qi training were too poor and weak. They wanted to go to Anhua City to make a fortune, but they couldn't go because they didn't have the capital, and the Jindan stage didn't look down on this little income.
It just so happens that the people in the late stage of Qi training and foundation building are the middle class of Yunzhong City, and they are also the largest customer group of industries such as Yingchunlou. After all, the poor can't afford it, and the rich don't need it. Inadvertently, the entire industry in Yunzhong City has suffered a heavy blow.
"Am I so awesome?"
Lin Jiang was a little dumbfounded. His actions this time had such a big impact?
"Immortal, my daughters are not easy, otherwise you can call a few more daughters to learn Taoism from you today?"
After complaining, the madam complained to Lin Jiang. Without business, her daughters would not have a good life.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, so I'm leaving first. I'll treat the fairies to tea with this spirit stone."
Lin Jiang left two spirit stones and ran away. What a joke, his storage bag can hold it, but his waist can't.
After sneaking out of Yingchun Tower, Lin Jiang turned around and went to Baihua Tower. Without so many acquaintances, Lin Jiang felt much more relaxed and could talk to the fairies at will. Generally speaking, Lin Jiang would not talk to the same fairy twice, which was out of protection for himself. Therefore, Lin Jiang would not go to Yingchun Tower for a long time in the future, unless all the fairies in Yingchun Tower were replaced.
"Man, you are so ruthless"
Lin Jiang said self-deprecatingly, everyone scolds scumbags, but everyone wants to be a scumbag.
