Chapter 12: Being followed After a

while.

The communication symbol began to flash.

Shopkeeper Chen replied: "The cheapest alley is rented for five mid-grade spirit stones per year. A group of cultivators arrived yesterday, so there are basically no vacancies. Now the only places that can be rented in the market are some small courtyards for single-family residences. The annual rent for such places is more than twenty mid-grade spirit stones, and it also depends on the location!"

have to.

Shen Ping completely gave up the idea.

But just as he sighed.

The talisman began to flash again.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, if you want to live in the market, you can wait a little longer. According to inside information, the Jinyang Sect has recruited a lot of cultivators to develop the Yanjin Mine. Yesterday was just the first batch, and there will be more later."

"The residential area of ​​the entire market is a bit small, so Jinyang Sect plans to expand the market eastward. At that time, some small courtyards will be built to accommodate more high-level cultivators."

Hear the news.

Shen Ping immediately replied, "Manager Chen, I can't afford a small courtyard to live alone!"

Shopkeeper Chen said, "Fellow Daoist Shen can rent the house with other cultivators."

Shen Ping was stunned. "Can we share the house?"

You should know that most of those who can afford to rent a small courtyard to live alone are late-stage cultivators above the eighth level of Qi training, and some are even foundation-building cultivators.

What they consider is not the price, but the spiritual environment.

not to mention.

Monks are very concerned about their privacy.

No one wants to share a house with other monks. If they see each other every day, it will be easy to expose all kinds of information.

Shopkeeper Chen replied, "I don't know the details, we will know when the courtyard is built. Fellow Daoist Shen, these are secondary. The most urgent task now is to make talismans as soon as possible. There will be more and more cultivators in the future, and the price of talismans will rise!"

Shen Ping quickly responded, "I understand!"

After the end.

He fell into deep thought.

Shopkeeper Chen actually knew some of Jinyang Sect's subsequent plans, which undoubtedly showed that there were Jinyang Sect's inner disciples or even cultivators of higher status behind him.

It seems that we will have to increase our cooperation with Xiuchun Pavilion in the future.

Like this news.

The other party gave the money because of our many years of cooperation.

"I have to break through to the middle stage of Qi training as soon as possible and make high-quality talismans..."

The market town is much safer than Hongliu Lane.

After removing the toxins from his body, Shen Ping would rather spend more spirit stones and move there. This is very important to him.

In Hongliu Lane, every time you go out, it's a matter of life and death.

He had lived in fear for many years, and was already tired of this.

…

Next.

Shen Ping began to reduce his rest time.

I would get up and make talismans every day at the hour of Yin.

Such hard work makes his wives and concubines feel even more distressed.

Even Bai Yuying's favorability increased by 5 points.

Knock knock.

There was a noise coming from the door that day.

Shen Ping opened the door.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I am a newly rented cultivator from nearby..."

It's a new neighbor.

Apart from Fellow Daoist Yu, the house next to him had been empty for more than half a year. That cultivator was one of the first to venture into the Yunshan Swamp to open a path. Although there was no news of his death, it now seemed that he was most likely dead.

After a few pleasantries, the other party left.

And the days that followed.

The number of monks visiting gradually increased.

After all, Shen Ping is one of the very few mid-level talisman masters in Hongliu Lane, and he has lived here for many years. Most of the newly rented cultivators will come here to visit and inquire about the general situation of Hongliu Lane.

He couldn't refuse the visit.

That would make you seem a bit aloof and arrogant.

So I had no choice but to talk to these monks.

Until early July.

There are fewer visits to the monks.

The main reason is that there are basically no vacant houses in Hongliu Lane.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, our fellow alchemist He from Hongliu Lane died in the wild the day before yesterday."

This day.

When Shen Ping went out to relax and relieve his boring thoughts, fellow Taoist Yu next door happened to be throwing bath water and told him this news.

"Dead?"

He was slightly startled.

I still remember the arrogance that Fellow Daoist He showed when he first came to my house and introduced himself as an alchemist. Later, he became so attached to the flowers that he became embarrassed. I didn't expect that not long after that, he was gone.

Yu Yan sneered and said, "You're at a loss. I asked you to lend him the spirit stones."

Shen Ping ignored Yu Yan's sarcasm and asked, "How did he die?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"That guy's reputation has long been bad. Recently, many strange cultivators have rented here. He took the opportunity to borrow a lot of spirit stones by using his reputation as an alchemist, and then spent them on the bellies of the female cultivators in Tianyin Pavilion. Two of the cultivators who were borrowed were in the late stage of Qi training..."

Yu Yan went back to the house and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you have finally made a breakthrough to become a mid-level talisman master, so don't let yourself fall on a woman's belly."

Shen Ping smiled bitterly. It turned out that Yu Yan said this news just to take the opportunity to mock him! "This widow, is she really interested in me?"

He touched his greasy middle-aged face and shook his head secretly.

Another ten days passed.

Under the painstaking efforts of making the talisman.

He finally used up all the talisman materials he bought last time, dozens of days ahead of schedule.

"The price of high-quality anti-poison pills has increased again. Fortunately, the price of amulets and fire charms has also increased slightly. After this sale, I can get the anti-poison pills!"

Shen Ping walked out of his house carrying a large number of talismans worth nearly thirty medium-grade spirit stones.

He was extremely vigilant along the way.

There are many unfamiliar cultivators in each alley now, and no one knows how many Tribulation cultivators there are.

Just walked halfway.

He sensed that there was a monk following him.

Shen Ping suddenly became nervous and immediately pinched the fire talisman, the earth-sinking talisman, and the freezing talisman in his hands. He had more than fifteen amulets on his body when he went out this time, which could activate the protective aura more than ten times. As long as the enemy was not a high-level cultivator, he could hold on for dozens of breaths.

Speed ​​up your pace.

Turning a corner, he saw several monks talking to each other, and the monk following behind him noticed it and immediately hid in a dark corner.

He felt a little relieved and took the opportunity to quickly shake it off.

There was a senior cultivator among these cultivators. He just glanced at Shen Ping and withdrew his gaze when he saw that he was only at the third level of Qi training.

We passed three corners in succession.

The main road is right in front of you.

It is rare for robber cultivators to take action in such places. If there is any movement, it will attract the attention of many cultivators, making it difficult for them to deal with the corpses and plunder the property.

Not long.

Shen Ping arrived at the market town safely.

This time he did not go directly to Xiuchun Pavilion, but went to other shops respectively, sold half of the talismans, removed the purchased talisman materials, and had ten more medium-grade spirit stones on him, and then entered Xiuchun Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, come in quickly!"

Shopkeeper Chen welcomed us warmly.

Still the same old rules.

Shen Ping took out the talismans from the storage bag. This time, in addition to the amulet and fire talisman, there were also several ground-sinking talismans and freezing talismans.

Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist Shen's talisman skills have improved again, congratulations, congratulations!"

“I got away with it a little bit.”

Shen Ping replied modestly that he was just showing off his own value a little bit. Manager Chen had a strong background and he might be able to get more information from him in the future.

Shopkeeper Chen settled the bill promptly.

After deducting the cost of materials, he obtained eight medium-grade spirit stones from here.

Including the savings in the storage bag.

He now has thirty-five medium-grade spirit stones.

"Shopkeeper Chen, do you have any high-quality anti-poison pills left?"
