Chapter 43 Steamed Crab with Wine

Ji Qingling walked out of the lecture hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Qingling."

Ji Zuo waved at her from not far away.

"Brother Ji Zuo."

Ji Zuo did not ask her what Yiming Daojun said.

"Did Ji Hong and the others come looking for you?"

"kindness."

Ji Qingling looked a little strange.

Ji Zuo certainly knew what was going on. "Your cultivation is too low now, so there's no need to rush out to complete missions. Improving your cultivation is the most important thing."

After returning to her residence, she spent several days carefully studying the book of talismans given to her by Yiming Daojun.

The book describes in detail how the talisman paper used in daily life and the animal blood used to draw talismans are made.

There are many types of talisman paper, including paper, animal skin, and jade.

In addition to the blood of monsters, the blood used to draw talismans also needs to be refined together with other minerals or the bones of spiritual beasts.

Different animal blood plus different materials will produce different talismans.

It seems that she still has a lot to learn, but the most important thing is to go down the mountain. These things cannot be bought in Taiyi Sect.

She hasn't seen Ji Qingyuan for a long time. It is estimated that he will not go out until he reaches the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Although Ji Hui has been practicing hard recently, when Ji Qingling found her and asked her to go shopping in the market, she immediately agreed.

I have never worked so hard before. I am really feeling depressed.

Girls naturally love beauty. They changed out of their gray disciple uniforms and dressed up beautifully before going out.

It would take a whole day to walk to the nearest market town from Taiyi Sect. They had not yet established their foundation, so they had to rent cranes from the sect when they went out.

With two spirit stones, the crane sent her to the unified settlement of Taiyi Sect disciples in the market town.

The street was bustling with people. The first destination of the two was Tianshangju. Ji Xia said that his steamed crab with flower wine was delicious and she kept saying that she wanted to try it.

The waiter said proudly, "The two fairies have good taste. The crabs in our Tianshangju are famous in Dongyue. These crabs are spiritual crabs caught from Yanxia Lake in Xishan. The meat is tender and the roe is like solidified fat. It tastes delicious and is the best crab."

Ji Hui was tempted by the waiter and was about to order three or five when Ji Qingling grabbed her hand.

"Waiter, how many spirit stones are there for this spirit crab?"

"My dear fairy, our Tianshangju is famous for its cheap and good products. They are not expensive. Thirty spirit stones each."

The two of them smacked their lips in amazement. This was not expensive. Taiyi Sect only gave them ten spirit stones every month.

The waiter remained calm and smiled, "How many do you two fairies want?"

Ji Qingling originally planned to order something else, but Ji Hui felt that since they were already here, it would be a shame not to eat.

In the end, the two of them ordered two crabs and together with other items, they spent a total of eighty spirit stones.

Ji Qingling sat in his seat waiting for the food to be served, thinking to himself that he would never come to this shady shop again, but the slap in the face still came quickly.

When she opened the lid of the crab, the bright yellow crab roe was revealed, and its delicious aroma carried a strong spiritual aura.

A spoonful of crab roe in your mouth will leave a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth. It is truly a delicacy.

Break off a crab leg, the crab meat is white and tender, take a bite, the taste is really amazing!

As expected, desire is the driving force. She wants to earn a lot of spiritual stones and come to this restaurant every day in the future! This is the most real thought of the two of them after eating crabs.

After leaving Tianshangju, the two of them went in and out of various shops.

Ji Hui is a person who wants to buy everything she sees, and she bought a bunch of miscellaneous things in a short period of time.

If Ji Qingling hadn't pulled her back, she would have used up all the spirit stones that the three elders had given to each of them.

When Ji Hui fell in love with a streamer cat and couldn't walk again, Ji Qingling pulled her out of the store.

"Why did you buy that cat? You have to practice on weekdays, so how can you have the time to take good care of it? Even if you can take good care of it, it will delay your practice time."

Ji Hui felt wronged, "But it's so pretty."

Ji Qingling was furious. "Can being good-looking help improve your cultivation? Can you guarantee that when you are practicing, it will meow and act cute to you, and you will not stop to tease it?"

"I don't think so." Ji Hui said hesitantly. It would indeed affect her cultivation.

"Neither can I, so the best solution is not to buy it. Let's go. We can think about the spiritual pet after we build our foundation."

She pulled Ji Hui, who kept looking back every few steps, and decided not to let her come to the market again next time, as she would only buy useless things.

The two walked into another small shop, and this time Ji Qingling directly asked what he wanted to buy.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any talisman paper or beast blood for sale?"

"Of course there are. Please come this way, fellow Taoist."

The shopkeeper took out a stack of talisman papers and said, "This is one hundred pieces, fifty spirit stones. This beast blood has been refined, one bottle is ten spirit stones."

"I bought one hundred pieces for thirty spirit stones before, why are yours so much more expensive than others?"

"Fellow Daoist, take a close look at my talisman paper. Those who have used it say it's good. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."

Ji Qingling observed carefully and found that it was indeed better than before.

But it was really expensive, and she felt that if she continued to study, her family would be depleted of all their savings.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She took out the spirit stone from her storage bag and asked casually, "Boss, do you accept talismans?"

"Of course I did."

Ji Qingling took out all the talismans from the storage bag.

"Shopkeeper, take a look."

The talisman is full of spiritual power.

"Did you draw this yourself, little Taoist friend?"

"Yes, how?"

"The Power Talisman, the Divine Movement Talisman, the Defense Talisman, and the Sound Transmission Talisman are all two spirit stones each, and the Earth Escape Talisman is three spirit stones each. This depends on the quality of your talismans. Otherwise, you won't get this price anywhere else."

"Okay, then I want to buy two hundred pieces of talisman paper and two bottles of beast blood. Shopkeeper, can you calculate the total cost?"

Ji Qingling had never thought that low-grade talismans could be sold for money. She had heard before that most stores didn't buy them, so she was so wasteful and used up several sound transmission talismans.

If I had known I could sell it for money, I would have just said what I wanted to say myself instead of showing off.

In this way, at least the spirit stones she gets from selling talismans can allow her to continue studying without worrying about running out of spirit stones to buy talisman paper in the future.

"My dear fellow Taoist, here are thirty-one talismans, which are worth sixty-eight spirit stones in total. These two hundred talisman papers and the beast blood are worth one hundred and twenty spirit stones. I'll give you a small change, and you can pay the shop another fifty spirit stones."

Ji Qingling handed over fifty spirit stones and said, "Thank you very much, boss."

"Okay, okay. Next time you have talismans, we will accept them. If you have other talismans, the price can be negotiated."

After they left the store, Ji Qingling was in a good mood and suggested treating Ji Hui to the barbecue skewers they had just seen.

The freshly grilled meat skewers should be sizzling with oil and have a shiny, browned color.

The taste is slightly spicy with a fresh fragrance, the meat is tender and delicious, not greasy or smelly.

"Qingling, when you become a great talisman master in the future, you have to keep my talismans for me."

Ji Hui was also happy for her, otherwise she would become a pauper sooner or later with only spending money and no income.

Ji Qingling swallowed the fragrant spiritual mutton, "Didn't you and my brother look down on my talisman? I forced it upon you last time. You forgot about it so quickly."

Ji Hui's eyes widened with an innocent look, "What's your memory? It was obviously Brother Qingyuan who was disliked. I even praised your talisman at that time."

Ji Qingling admires Ji Hui most for her thick skin.

"Ji Hui."

"What?"

"If you put your thick-skinned skills into practice, I think you'd be close to building your foundation."

"Get out of here, boss, give me ten more skewers of meat."

Doujie is a bit of a jerk in naming. There will be several important friends appearing later, and I haven't thought of names yet. Let's come up with some names. Both male and female should be easy to remember, smooth to pronounce, and nice to hear...hahahahaha, those are the three requirements
