Jubao Tower is located in the center of the market town, right next to the General Affairs Hall of the Bishui Sect.
It is a shop opened by the Bishui Sect specifically for independent cultivators who are looking to open up new land.
It contains all kinds of elixirs, magic tools, talismans, etc.
Li Qiu asked the independent cultivators to earn money in the market and spend it in the market, without taking a single cent home.
Shen Lian’s destination is Jubao Tower.
He walked out of the house quickly and rushed all the way to the center of the market.
After entering the big archway, he took a few deep breaths of spiritual energy.
"A group of black turtles was discovered on plot 98, and several people stole turtle eggs."
"When the Black Spirit Turtle grows up, it may become a demon beast in the late stage of Qi training. If it works hard, it may even become a second-level foundation-building stage."
"If we raise one in our family, it might become the clan's guardian spirit beast."
"Tsk...if you grow this thing until it grows to adulthood, my grandson's grave will be covered with grass for more than a dozen times."
As soon as he entered the shopping street, Shen Lian heard the passing monks talking.
I saw another monk got the opportunity.
Everyone's back teeth were almost broken.
A turtle egg costs at least hundreds of spirit stones.
Shen Lian remained unmoved. Over the past six months, one or two tiny children of destiny would emerge every month.
Arriving at Jubao Tower, Shen Lian looked around from outside and walked in after seeing that there were not many people inside.
"What do you want to buy, fellow Taoist?"
Inside the Jubao Pavilion, the chief shopkeeper hid behind a screen and drank tea.
Among the busy managers coming and going, one of them saw Shen Lian.
"Daoyou, what do you want to buy?"
The steward had a smile on his face.
"I have a dozen Flame Talismans to sell."
Although it was the first time for Shen Lian to come to Jubao Tower, his predecessor had already found out that Jubao Tower collected talismans.
"One Flame Talisman costs three low-grade spirit stones. How many do you want to give, fellow Daoist?"
The manager's expression did not change as he led Shen Lian towards a small counter inside.
Shen Lian placed twelve fire talismans on the small counter.
The steward picked up each one, checked it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Daoyou's talisman skills are very solid. Twelve pieces cost a total of thirty-six low-grade spirit stones."
The manager smiled and said that the store sold a fire talisman for four spirit stones.
Although he could only get one spirit stone for this deal, a grasshopper, no matter how small it was, was still meat.
"I need a bottle of first-grade lower-grade spiritual ink, two pieces of talisman paper, and a bottle of anti-miasma pill."
Wait until you leave Jubao.
There was not a single spirit stone left in Shen Lian's storage bag.
A bottle of anti-malaria pill costs ten spirit stones.
There are five in it.
This is another blessing that the Bishui Sect gives to the independent practitioners.
Unfortunately, a large number of independent cultivators do not have spirit stones to purchase when they accept missions.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t collectively spit out black circles.
Without staying outside, Shen Lian returned to his residence.
He sat cross-legged on the bed, poured out a miasma-removing pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
“Ahem…”
It tasted terrible and was a bit choking, and the pain in my lungs started to increase rapidly.
Shen Lian just lay down.
The miasma was like a maggot in his tarsal bones, entangled in his meridians and flesh.
If you want to completely eliminate the miasma, this bottle of miasma-eliminating pill may not be enough.
Fortunately, I have a way to earn rent in the future and I don’t have to breathe in the miasma anymore. Compared with other casual cultivators, I am already quite lucky.
Every once in a while, the Bishui Sect’s spirit ship would send in a group of wandering cultivators.
However, the market town has been established for more than five years, and the number of cultivators in the market town is still fluctuating around three thousand.
The vast majority of the monks who died were poisoned to death.
“Cough cough cough…”
“…cough cough cough…puff…”
Shen Lian, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up from the bed and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.
After the dirty blood fell to the ground, black smoke came out.
"Comfortable."
Shen Lian wiped his mouth and lay down again.
With his eyes narrowed, he was thinking.
The next step is to get rid of the miasma, improve your strength, and find an opportunity to leave Yunmengfang City.
The Bishui Sect belongs to the immortal cultivation world of the Chu State and is one of the three major immortal cultivation sects in the Chu State.
There are five immortal cities in total within the territory of Chu State, three of which belong to sect forces.
The remaining two were built spontaneously by independent cultivators. Now, they are both manned by Jindan or Jiadan cultivators.
"The Bishui Fairy City built by the Bishui Sect has Jindan cultivators stationed there and is protected by formations. It's a good place to go."
"This place is stable enough."
Perhaps it was because he had a means of survival, and the miasma in his body began to dissipate.
At this moment, Shen Lian's mind calmed down faster than ever before.
[Keep calm, insight points +1]
…
[God has no external things, God's enlightenment point +1]
When he was in a daze, the sudden voice in his mind made Shen Lian stunned for a moment.
A divine insight? For the past six months, he could only gain insights when he was in a stable mood.
Sometimes, we are unable to gain insights due to the turbulent environment and disturbed mind.
"What is the divine enlightenment point?"
Shen Lian showed a puzzled expression.
"panel."
He silently said this in his mind, and a translucent data panel appeared in front of him.
[Shen Lian: Qi Training Level 3]
[Five Elements Spiritual Roots: Gold 17 Wood 29 Water 18 Fire 31 Earth 18]
[Talisman Master: First-class Low-grade (0/1000)]
【Insights: 27】
【Divine enlightenment point: 1】
Looking at the sudden increase in data, Shen Lian couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind.
After becoming a talisman master, those were the most comfortable days for him since he had traveled through time.
As a result, I can have three or four insights every day.
He was lying on the bed just now and was about to fall asleep.
“God has no external things.”
"Perception points can be used to increase experience in making talismans, but divine enlightenment points..."
Shen Lian had a bold guess.
As his mind moved, changes appeared on the light screen.
[Five Elements Spiritual Roots: Gold 17 Wood 29 Water 18 Fire 31 Earth 18]
The fire attribute spiritual root has changed from 31 to 32. Divine enlightenment points can be added to the spiritual root! Buzz——
Before Shen Lian could react, he felt a warm sensation on his body.
The spiritual roots of a cultivator are hidden within the body.
Only a special spirit-detecting platform can detect it.
Back then, the original owner also wanted to join the sect, but was expelled because his spiritual roots were too poor.
The spiritual roots of cultivators are divided into upper, middle and lower levels, and also into single, double, triple, quadruple and five.
In this era, the fewer the spiritual roots, the higher the spiritual root scale, the faster the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.
The best of the single spiritual roots, with a spiritual root scale of more than ninety, are known as the strongest heavenly spiritual roots.
You can even cultivate all the way to the Golden Core level without any major bottlenecks.
Not only does Shen Lian himself have five spiritual roots, but the quality of each of his spiritual roots is also very poor.
It is just opposite to the top-grade single spiritual root. It is at the bottom among the lower-grade five spiritual roots and the worst lower-grade five-element spiritual root.
If this kind of spiritual root wants to do odd jobs for the sect, people will think you are polluting the spiritual energy.
It would be good if any of his five spiritual roots could be above fifty.
At the very least, I can plant some crops for the sect.
After a long while, Shen Lian felt the mysterious feeling in his body dissipate, and he got up from the bed.
I paced back and forth in the cabin, feeling emotions that were indescribable.
He seemed to feel that the top-grade five-element spiritual root was waving at him.
“Be steady.”
“Be steady.”
"Today, I exchanged the talisman for spirit stones. Now I have a foothold. The tension in my mind after half a year has eased. I finally feel like I am free from all external things."
"...It seems that I still need to move and find a safe place with powerful monks to practice. This is the right way for me to practice..."
