Chapter 9 Spiritual Root Breakthrough (Please collect)
The next few days.
Shen Ping's life went on as usual, but he was restless inside. The success rate of making talismans had obviously dropped. Only when he looked at the flashing fonts on the virtual panel did he feel a sense of security.
As a low-level monk.
The reason he was able to survive in Red Willow Lane for such a long time without any accidents was because he was very cautious.
Other monks would occasionally go out into the wild to hone their skills or practice spells to improve their combat capabilities, but he had never been there.
After all, the chance of encountering a robbery in the wild is very high.
Even if he was proficient in magic and had quick reactions as he was only at the third level of Qi training, he could not defeat those robbery cultivators who were constantly fighting and had extremely rich experience.
What’s more important is that if you succeed in fighting once, you may become addicted.
No wealth is accumulated faster than by plunder.
The so-called gold belt for murder and arson!
Once, twice... if you do it too many times, it will be like gambling, you will get more and more addicted, and the final result will be a tragic death.
Unless you can guarantee that you will always win.
However, cultivators themselves are fighting for their lives against the will of heaven. Without fighting and seizing opportunities, there is no possibility for them to build a foundation.
Shen Ping also knew this, but deep down he just didn't like taking risks and killing.
Now there are golden fingers that can continuously improve.
He had no intention of taking any risks.
"I have to go out!"
"While the outskirts of the market are relatively safe now, I will buy more spiritual rice, meat, and other daily necessities, as well as materials for talismans..."
I can't calm down.
Shen Ping simply walked out of the house and walked towards the market along the winding streets.
He was very vigilant along the way, holding fire talismans, earth-sinking talismans, ice talismans, etc. in his hands. As long as anyone dared to block his way, he would activate the talismans without hesitation to greet them.
From Hongliu Lane to the main road, one has to pass through six or seven alleys. There are a large number of houses in each alley. The closer to the main road, the more expensive the house rental will be, and only middle and high-level monks can afford to live there.
But now these alleys are sparsely populated.
More than 60% of them were among the first and second batches of cultivators who went to Yunshan Swamp. He had never encountered any danger in his previous several trips.
It’s the same this time, but the mentality is different.
Step onto the main road.
Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief and came to a stall selling talismans. "Daoyou, how much are the amulets?"
"Sixteen low-grade spirit stones, no bargaining!"
The monk said calmly, full of confidence.
"Where's the fire charm?"
"Ten low-grade spirit stones...will you buy them?"
After just two questions, the monk became impatient.
Shen Ping left immediately, and heard a cursing voice behind him, "Poor bastard!"
He didn't take it to heart at all, walked along the main road into the market, and went straight to Xiuchun Pavilion.
When Shopkeeper Chen saw Shen Ping coming, he walked out of the counter and greeted him at the door enthusiastically.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are finally here."
"Let me tell you, the price of talismans is rising rapidly now. They are very popular!"
Without saying a word, Shen Ping took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag.
These are half of his results in the past two months.
Among them, there are thirty amulets, sixteen flame amulets, and ten ice amulets...
Shopkeeper Chen's eyes lit up, "Fellow Daoist Shen must have some good stuff!"
Shen Ping smiled and said, "Manager Chen, are there enough talisman materials?"
"Don't worry, how much do you want?"
Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile.
"One hundred amulet materials, fifty fire amulets, and thirty ice amulets."
Shen Ping reported the required materials.
Shopkeeper Chen said hurriedly, "Now the price of the amulet materials in the market has risen to two low-grade spirit stones each, and the price of the flame talisman is one low-grade spirit stone... The total cost of the materials is 274 low-grade spirit stones, and Fellow Daoist Shen's talismans cost a total of 670 low-grade spirit stones!"
As he spoke, he took out four crystal clear medium-grade spirit stones.
Shen Ping did not answer, but said, "Shopkeeper Chen, the price of the amulet outside has risen to sixteen low-grade spirit stones, and you gave fifteen."
Shopkeeper Chen laughed dryly, "You know, the price of a stall outside is definitely higher than that of the market."
Seeing that Shen Ping was unmoved, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go with sixteen dollars."
Another twenty-six pieces were taken out.
A smile appeared on Shen Ping's face. For a shop in the market town, customer flow is the most important thing. Once they have made a name for themselves, they can make a lot of money just by selling a few magic tools or high-quality elixirs.
Before leaving the store.
Shopkeeper Chen warned, "Fellow Daoist Shen, hurry up and make the talisman. We are out of stock now!"
He ignored it and walked around the market, buying a large amount of spiritual rice, meat, etc., and then went to other shops to sell talismans. Just as Shopkeeper Chen said, all major shops were out of stock, and the shopkeeper was more excited to see the talismans than the magic tools.
On the way back.
Shen Ping became nervous again, but still nothing happened.
Close the door.
His whole body was completely relaxed.
This house was built by Jinyang Sect. Anyone who destroys it without authorization would be provoking Jinyang Sect. Every six months, outer sect stewards would come to inspect. Even those arrogant robbers would not dare to destroy the house.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The net profit from the hard work of making talismans for the past two months is one more medium-grade spirit stone than before. However, because I bought four months of living expenses, the net profit has not changed much."
"Now my family has accumulated 17 middle-grade spirit stones!"
"effort!"
Shen Ping thought about it in his mind and realized that he was getting closer and closer to buying high-quality detoxifying pills. Next time he went out, he would be able to get rid of the miserable days of being eroded by the monster's venom.
"My husband is back."
"The meal is ready, come and eat."
The wives and concubines had not eaten yet and were waiting at home.
Shen Ping looked at the table full of sumptuous food, his appetite excited, "You guys should sit down too."
…
late at night.
The bed was covered with quilt.
Warm as spring.
Although the house is small, the wives and concubines are very satisfied with their life.
Shen Ping held his beautiful wife and concubine on his left and right and opened the virtual panel.
[Gain Talisman Experience +2]
[Current wife's favorability: 100]
[Bonus: 4]
[Talisman Master: First-class mid-level (9612/10000)]
…
[Gained a gold spiritual root aptitude increase of +2, a wood spiritual root aptitude increase of +2]
[Current Taoist Companion Favorability: 80]
[Gold Spiritual Root: Low Grade (1108/1000) can be broken through]
[Wood Spiritual Root: Low Grade (1002/1000) can be broken through]
This is the result of his hard work over the past two months.
Among them, the gold spiritual root could have broken through a few days ago, but he had been holding back, planning to wait until the wood spiritual root also reached the breakthrough standard before breaking through together.
Touching Bai Yuying's shoulders.
Shen Ping shook his head in his heart. Cultivators are different from mortals. Take his wife Wang Yun for example. If he treats her a little better, the rewards will be very obvious.
To this.
He expressed his understanding.
After all, cultivators will not trust others wholeheartedly, no matter how close their fellow cultivators are. Moreover, cultivators at the lower levels lack a sense of security. Although he is a mid-level talisman master, his strength is too low, and he might die at any time.
In this situation, how could Bai Yuying completely entrust her feelings to him?
Of course, it may also be because the time is too short.
The next day.
When the wife or concubine went to empty the chamber pot.
Shen Ping calmed down and looked at the possible breakthroughs on the virtual panel, silently praying for breakthroughs in his heart.
boom.
An invisible force is pouring down from nowhere.
He felt a sharp pain inside his body as if cramps were being pulled out of his marrow, but the pain went away quickly, and the moment it disappeared, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth quickly poured into his meridians.
