Liuxian Island.

The spirit ship will stay here for two days.

Shen Lian came to Sanxian Pavilion, the largest chamber of commerce in the city.

Second floor.

Manager Wei of Sanxian Pavilion received him.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the second-level medium-quality talisman paper you need."

Inside the tea room, Shen Lian took the talisman paper handed over by Manager Wei, looked at it, and shook his head.

This quality is only slightly better than the second-grade inferior talisman paper in his hand.

Originally, he thought that buying a second-grade mid-quality talisman paper would be enough, but he didn't expect that the quality of the second-grade mid-quality talisman paper he imagined and the second-grade mid-quality talisman paper on sale was much worse.

Seeing Shen Lian's expression, Shopkeeper Wei said, "Fellow Daoist, you are an expert and you also understand that good monster skins and materials are rare for tanning talisman paper."

The second-level middle-grade one corresponds to the strength of the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of foundation building. This has led to a phenomenon where the skin of a monster with the strength of the fourth level of foundation building can be used, but who would be willing to use the skin of a monster with the strength of the sixth level of foundation building?

In addition, the animal skins used to make talisman paper are all leftovers, which are tanned bit by bit.

For example, the piece of talisman paper in front of Shen Lian was obviously made of the leftover skins of a monster comparable to the fourth level of foundation building.

But it is a solid second-level intermediate level, nothing wrong with it.

Between listening to the noise and refining defensive magic weapons, the monks would naturally choose the latter.

High-quality second-grade or even third-grade talisman paper is even more difficult to obtain in the market town or fairy city, and can only be found in some higher-level auctions.

What's more, some high-level talisman masters will even invite people to hunt monsters or collect high-level spiritual plants and tan talisman paper by themselves.

The same is true for alchemists and weapon refiners. High-level cultivators all have their own small circles, and many spiritual objects are exchanged within the circle.

Looking at the talisman paper in front of him, Shen Lian felt that it was very likely that he would really embark on the path of self-production and self-sales in the future.

You can make money without spirit stones, but if you have spirit stones but no market, then there is no solution.

As for purchasing second-grade superior quality talisman paper, not to mention whether it is easy to buy, it is not worthy of the second-grade inferior quality spiritual ink nourished by fire spiritual power.

It's embarrassing to be neither high nor low.

After careful consideration, Shen Lian decided to buy this medium-grade talisman paper.

There's nothing else to do, just use whatever you have on hand.

One thousand spirit stones are five times more expensive than the lowest-grade second-level talisman paper.

Seeing that the goods that had been piled up for years were finally sold, the smile on Shopkeeper Wei's face became even brighter.

"Sanxian Island is a small place. To be honest, this medium-quality talisman paper has been kept in the store for many years. If you want talisman paper of better quality, you can only try your luck in the larger immortal cities."

Shen Lian nodded and said nothing more.

That being said, it may not be easy to obtain better quality second-grade mid-grade or above talisman paper in a larger fairy city.

For other talisman masters, talisman papers of various grades are enough. Using talisman papers tanned from better quality monster skins would be a waste of spirit stones.

Moreover, the higher the level of the monster's skin and bones, the more attention paid to their integrity when refining magic weapons.

No weapon refiner would affect the quality of the magic weapon just to save some leftover monster skins.

Correspondingly, when hunting monsters, cultivators will also try their best to ensure the integrity of the monster's corpse.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian spoke again: "Do you have second-level low-grade talisman paper and spiritual ink?"

"Yes, yes."

Shopkeeper Wei spoke repeatedly, saying that Liuxian Island was not large, and only a few foundation-building cultivators came here in a year, so the second-level resources in the pavilion were really not sellable.

Shen Lian also realized that Sanxian Pavilion was really poor.

He bought all the dozen pieces of talisman paper and five bottles of spiritual ink stored in the pavilion.

So when he was leaving, Manager Wei saw him out the door with a smile on his face. Even after he had walked a long distance away, he could still see Manager Wei swaying outside the door.

The spirit ship will set off the day after tomorrow. After coming out of the Sanxian Pavilion, Shen Lian did not rush back, but found a restaurant and prepared to sort out the next plan.

In the restaurant, while drinking, he took out a jade slip to check the spirit ship's route and the number of islands along the way.

Because he was in a hurry to get out of Yishan Island, he chose the spirit boat that departed the fastest.

This spirit boat takes a circular route around the northwest area of ​​the Wanxing Sea. The journey takes more than nine months and passes through more than 50 islands and archipelagos along the way.

The final destination is Ao Shi Xian City in the north of the central waters of Wanxing Sea.

Ao Shi Immortal City is an immortal city under the control of Xuan Hai Sect, and its prosperity is no less than the previous Black Whale City.

From Liuxian Island to Aoshixian City, the islands and seas passed along the way all belong to the marginal areas of the Jindan forces, and the strongest one is the foundation-building family.

There is no doubt that the spiritual objects that can be sold in the shops on these islands are not expected to be too expensive.

If you want to purchase Xuanling Jadeite, a second-grade mid-grade or high-grade spiritual item, the possibility of being able to buy it is not high.

We can only think of a solution when we reach the final stop, Ao Shi Xian City.

"A piece of Xuanling Jade Marrow is more expensive than three thousand."

Thinking of the price of Xuanling Jadeite, the second-grade top-grade spiritual ink, Shen Lian's back teeth clenched.

The more than 30,000 spirit stones obtained from the three demon cultivators killed before can only buy six pieces of Xuanling Jade Marrow.

But having Xuanling Jadeite alone is not enough, spiritual ink is also needed.

What is more important is the subsequent nourishment of the jade talisman. He used the spiritual power of fifty-seven Juling Pills to nourish one Tianyan Jade Talisman. Based on the pill yield rate of six pills per furnace, he needs to refine it in ten furnaces.

Ten sets of materials for the Spirit Gathering Pill and twenty-three thousand spirit stones.

In addition, it takes at least half a year to nurture the plant, which is too costly.

You have to earn spirit stones, a lot of them.

Thinking about the more than fifty stops along the way, Shen Lian had some ideas in mind.

Since I can't buy second-level mid-quality or higher resources for the time being, I'll just have to use second-level lower-quality ones for now.

The initial goal is to prepare ten... fifteen... twenty... sets of ordinary type of Tiangang Disha Leihuo Talisman Array.

He would wait until he got to Ao Shi City and see the situation. If he really couldn't buy good quality talisman paper and spiritual ink, he would buy a monster and make it himself.

How could a talisman master let the materials suffocate to death?

After having a small meal, he left the restaurant, flew hundreds of miles away from Liuxian Island, and plunged into the vast ocean.

Half an hour later, Shen Lian emerged from the water in a different appearance, and a figure wrapped in a long robe appeared in the distance from him.

It was the foundation-building puppet Ding San.

By using the Silk Condensation Method from the Wanling Immortal Puppet Technique to forge his soul, his spiritual thoughts were gathered into a thread that extended from eight hundred and sixty feet to one thousand three hundred feet.

Can control the puppet to move independently within the range of divine consciousness.

At this moment, Shen Lian's sea of ​​​​consciousness formed a line, and another perspective appeared in the dark.

"Fellow Daoist Ding, please go first."

Ding Sanda's robe rustled as he soared into the air and flew towards Liuxian City.

Shen Lian fell far behind.

The small island also has its advantages. There are not many strong foundation-building cultivators. At most, cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of foundation-building can pass through. The puppet Ding San can move freely.

In addition, Shen Lian specially let the Five Elements Spirit Puppet take over Ding San's body, which made it easier to control.

It looks like there is only one foundation-building warrior, but in fact there are two foundation-building warriors.

If there is a great danger, the Five Elements Spirit Puppets can integrate into the environment with different attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth according to the environment they are in, and abandon the foundation-building puppet.

For this purpose, Shen Lian placed some Tiangang Thunder and Fire Talismans at the core position of Ding Shan's body to ensure self-destruction and self-sufficiency.

In the core area of ​​the city, Shen Lian entered a restaurant and asked for a private room to sit down.

Three hundred feet away, in another medicine shop, the puppet 'Ding San', wrapped in a loose robe, was buying herbs.

This time, one person and two bodies are just a preliminary attempt to see how it works.

The medicinal herbs that Shen Lian bought using Ding Shan's identity were not of high quality at all, they were all of first-grade quality.

The islands on the spirit boat route are not rich, just like Chiba Island before. He sold thousands of first-level yellow bud pills and almost shook the local pill market.

Let’s not talk about whether we can gather enough materials for the second-level elixir. There are only a few foundation-building cultivators on an island, especially those from a family. How many can they afford to buy?

Since he couldn’t sell the second-level elixir, Shen Lian chose to start from the bottom and seek happiness for the cultivators.

He sells pills for infatuation and happiness.

It’s not that he doesn’t sell elixirs for cultivation, but when he takes out these two kinds of elixirs, the relationship between the buyer and the seller is invisibly brought closer.

You can tell at first glance that we are like-minded people.

These two kinds of elixirs can be used by anyone, regardless of what level of Qi training or foundation building one is at.

Who wouldn’t want to find some happiness during the boring practice?

Shen Lian was not planning to sell to individual investors. He would only look for one or two alchemy shops, department stores, and beauty shops on each island to sell to.

The normal circulation price of Happy Pill is 20 spirit stones. He sells it for 15 spirit stones. The selling price is reduced by one spirit stone for every 100 pills purchased.

The normal circulation price of the Dianluan Daofeng Pill is sixty to seventy spirit stones. He sells it for forty spirit stones, and gives one for free if you buy ten.

Let these stores also make money.

Another reason is that these two kinds of medicinal materials are easy to find and easier to refine. He can fry dozens of happy pills in one iron pan.

After purchasing the herbs, Shen Lian and Ding San each flew out of Liuxian Island. In a remote place outside the island, Ding San fell directly into the depths of the ocean and disappeared.

I got a secret method of concealing breath called "Extinguishing the Soul and Concealing the Soul" from Pei Huoyu before.

When he was on Qianwang Island, Shen Lian also learned a little.

Outside Liuxian Island, he changed his appearance and dress, making himself look like someone who had reached the ninth level of Qi training.

After finding an inn on the island, he took out the first-grade intermediate alchemy furnace he had used before, lit a fire with spiritual charcoal, and began to bring happiness to his fellow Taoists.

…

The next afternoon, Shen Lian walked out of the inn and disappeared off the island.

When he came back, he had turned back into a foundation-building cultivator and walked towards the spirit ship parked in the city.

The spirit ship stopped at the square in the east of Liuxian City. There were also many shops here. In order not to attract attention, Shen Lian did not buy any spirit objects here.

He took out the spirit ship jade talisman, walked through the crowd in the square, and prepared to board the spirit ship.

"Um……"

The Yanling Divine Mind Talisman attached to the inside of his robe was passively triggered, and Shen Lian looked around without changing his expression.

At this moment, ripples appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

A familiar smell of blood entered the perception.
