Chapter 46: Battle Bears and Soldiers in Bamboo Shadow Shop(1/2)
"This set of martial arts was newly discovered by the sect. Grandpa also thought it was quite exquisite after reading it. Zhang Lie, do you like it very much?"
Seeing Zhang Lie concentrate, Han Ling'er, who was standing beside him, looked at him and asked casually.
"...Don't exchange it for me. Privately giving it to others is a serious crime for the sect." Zhang Lie was slightly stunned when he heard this. The next moment he realized it and said.
"I think you are self-righteous, who will exchange it for you? There are 2,800 small good deeds, what's wrong with me?" Han Ling'er's pretty face turned slightly red. Fortunately, at this time, the inner disciple of the blue-clothed deacon had returned. After deducting the good deeds of Zhang Lie's identity jade tablet, she handed the jade slip recording the recipe for the Yangshen Pill to Zhang Lie.
Because he has always been generous in spending money, although he mastered the second-level alchemy technique, Zhang Lie still did not have much good skills on his identity jade tablet.
Leaving the Inheritance Dharma Hall, Zhang Lie left the mountain gate and went to the nearby market. Only sect merit transactions are allowed within the sect. There are indeed good things that cannot be bought in the market outside, and the items are of better quality and cheap and good quality. Zhang Lie has been using good skills for his sake for many years, so he has been trading with good skills, but now he regrets it. In fact, many resources are a little troublesome, so he can go farther and buy them from the surrounding markets. The consumption of good skills should be used on the blade.
Lianshan Fang City.
"Second Brother, are you trying to buy some herbs? My family recently opened a Shanyuan Hall in Lianshan Square. Second Brother went to take care of me. I promise that it is much more cost-effective than buying it from other places." At this time, the fourth junior brother Jin Zuzhi came over and said with a smile.
At the last Immortal Ascension, Master Han Nuo accepted the matter of the elders of the sect's external affairs and accepted it in one breath: Zhang Lie, An Shijie, Jin Zuzhi, and Ye Ling. His purpose at that time was actually the second priority to cultivate disciples. The core purpose was to recruit a group of supporters for senior sister Han Linger who could support each other. Therefore, including Zhang Lie, all of his four disciples are descendants of the Immortal Cultivation Family. In fact, many immortal masters don't like such disciples, because on the one hand, they have to spend their efforts to adjust the other's previous practice, and on the other hand, the family disciples are inevitably unable to give all their loyalty to the sect and the master.
However, in terms of Han Nuo's needs, if each family has its own support, it can also assist Han Ling'er from all aspects.
For example, the Jin family, whose fourth junior brother Jin Zuzhi, was born in the herbal business for generations. Although it is not large in scale, it is quite powerful. Don’t underestimate such a family of immortal cultivation. The chances of cultivating high-level cultivators are N times higher than those of ordinary casual cultivators. As long as one senior cultivator is cultivated, the entire family will enter a glorious period of taking off due to the accumulation of early foundations.
The fourth junior brother Jin Zuzhi has already said this. Of course, everyone is going to Shanyuan Hall to take a look. Ye Ling is certainly An Shijie and Jin Zuzhi are pursuing, but Zhang Lie is also the object of these two people need to please. Zhang Lie has a long-term future and the two are originally brothers. As long as they are not stupid, who will destroy this natural and powerful connection?
In Lianshan Fangcheng City, Shanyuantang is a small shop that is not too big in a corner. It looks a bit shabby. There is no way. The shops in the surrounding areas of the seven major sects in Mingzhou are extremely expensive, because the markets near the seven major sects in Mingzhou have almost been affected by the war for hundreds of years. The richer people are, the more they cherish their lives. In order to save their lives, the more they are worth spending.
Although it is just a little shabby shop, the core area of Yiqiufang City at the foot of Qinglu Mountain may not be as expensive as the rent is this time.
"Uncle Seventeen, Uncle Seventeen, these four are my fellow brothers. They want to pick some medicinal materials, and you can take out all the good ones and give them the lowest value!"
"Good, good." In the shop, Jin Zuzhi's seventeenth uncle who had some goat beards agreed repeatedly after hearing this.
Then Zhang Lie reported various medicinal materials like a dish, not just for the Shenshen Pill. In the Wu family in Yiqiufang, he sent him one thousand medium-grade spirit stones, white bone necklaces, and green poison ruler two primary spirit weapons. One piece sold for five hundred spirit stones and two thousand one thousand. The price is not too high, but it can be called fair and affordable. If Zhang Lie sold it himself, he might be able to sell one or two hundred more, but I don’t know how long it will take.
In addition, the Zhang family in Qinglu Mountain also sent Zhang Lie 1,600 medium-grade spirit stones. A small part was the income from the Danyuan Dharma Assembly, but most of them were the family rewards after Zhang Lie handed over many storage bags. Not to mention the others, it was just the thief of Yanzhou. If there were not tens of thousands of spirit stones, how could they play?
Of course, it is not something that one person can do in a short time to digest all the thiefs silently. It is difficult for the seven families to consume it together, and it is difficult to achieve silentness.
Two thousand six hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 26,000 low-grade spirit stones. Not to mention in the hands of cultivators in Qi Refining Realm, even in the eyes of cultivators in Foundation Building Realm, this is already a lot of money. Therefore, Zhang Lie did not blink when buying medicinal materials, and when his friend moved out bags of medicine, he opened and selected bags of medicines, took out the medicinal materials and crushed them, and then placed them in front of his nose and sniffed them lightly.
Seeing that the medicinal materials of Shanyuantang were indeed good, Han Ling'er and An Shijie who were present also chose to buy some, but the one they purchased was not even a fraction of the price for Zhang Lie.
"These Polygonum multiflorum have been damp and the medicinal properties have decreased, so you can no longer be called a top-quality product. You either change it to a top-quality product for me, or I will buy it in another place." He did not give his junior brother Jin Zuzhi any face. When Zhang Lie discovered the quality of some medicinal materials, he even ignored other customers in the store and said it directly, saying that Jin Zuzhi's seventeenth uncle's face turned blue and white. If Jin Zuzhi had not been there, he could hardly help but want to refute the attack.

In fact, the quality of these Polygonum multiflorum is still qualified, but passing does not mean the best quality. Using too many such medicinal materials will lead to the success rate of alchemy and the elixirs after the elixir. The most important thing is that most alchemists still find it difficult to detect where the problem occurs, and they only think that there is something wrong with them in the cumbersome alchemy steps.
After almost half a day of inspection, Zhang Lie got up from a pile of basic medicinal herbs and walked out.
"Most of the medicinal materials are pretty good. All the ones I have picked are sent to my mansion. If they are used well, you will give me medicine here in the future."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Senior Brother."
Zhang Lie's words made Jin Zuzhi's eyes lit up, but he knew clearly that the senior brother in front of him was almost the leader/idol of the junior alchemist of Qianzhushan Sect. If he had been buying medicine at his Shanyuan Hall for a long time, then his business would have opened a small gap within the Qianzhushan Sect. If it weren't for the many precious herbs that Master Han Nuo needed, his family would not be able to provide them, Jin Zuzhi would have already found a way to solve the problem of Master Han Nuo.
When the senior brothers and brothers walked out of the pharmacy, Jin Zuzhi's seventeenth uncle gently pulled his nephew's sleeve from behind and said, "Zuzhi, who is your senior brother? With such a big temperament, I have never received you, the foundation-building immortal master, and I am not so picky. If you do this business like this, our family won't make much money!"
"Oh, Uncle Seventeen, you have received the Foundation Establishment Immortal Master, how many second-level alchemists have you received? Where are the second-level alchemists in the Qi Refining Realm? My Senior Brother Zhang's deal, don't say that you don't make money, you can also grit your teeth and make money. If my Senior Brother finds that the goods you offer are not of good quality, don't say that I will turn against you as my nephew, the patriarch will not spare you!"
Knowing that although his seventeenth uncle was good at trading, he was sometimes short-sighted and saw that money was jealous. Jin Zuzhi was worried that this guy would ruin his major affairs, so he immediately said with a stern expression. After a fierce warning, he quickly caught up with the people who had left.
"The second-level alchemist at the Qi refining realm!" The goatee-bearded pharmacy shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and thought about it slowly came back.
A genius alchemist who can advance to the second level of Qi refining realm will have a high chance of the foundation-building realm reaching the third level of alchemist in the future. Even if the probability is not high, it is completely worth a bet for his own Shanyuan Hall.
The connections of the alchemist are very terrifying, and a third-level alchemist can be very respectful in almost any part of the world of immortal cultivation.
"What's wrong, the fourth brother? What did you say to your seventeenth uncle just now?" Seeing that Jin Zuzhi was catching up, Zhang Lie asked casually.
"It's nothing. My seventeenth uncle is sometimes stupid when he sees money. I just told him specifically that if he dares to deceive Senior Brother Zhang, I will break his leg with my own hands!"
"Hehe, the fourth brother, is there no one in your family? How can such a person be sent to a shop near the mountain gate? Isn't this destroying your reputation in the sect?" The third brother An Shijie laughed at him, feeling a little dissatisfied.
"Oh, there is nothing we can do about it. When the family is big, there are all people. A big family has great business and a big family has great difficulties."
"Second Brother, I have bought the medicinal materials I need. Why don't you go to the Ling Food Pavilion that I owned at home to take a rest?" An Shijie asked.
"This is where I go. Next, I will be banned from the underground without seeing the light of day. Many materials need to be stored in the past five years. You don't have to accompany me. I don't know how long I will go around next."
"If it's not the case, we are brothers and sisters. Senior brothers, you will be away for five years next time. We can't see you often. After this meeting, we will have to meet again in five years."
…………
I had 2,600 medium-grade spirit stones in my hand, and I just spent 1,220 in Shanyuantang. The basic reservation is enough to provide basic medicinal materials for the next five years.
Zhang Lie planned to spend two hundred spirit stones left in his hand as an emergency, and spend all the remaining one thousand two. Anyway, the spirit stones will not be given up even if they are left in his hand. There is no need to save any benefits for his own cultivation, whether it is medicinal materials or spiritual tools.
When passing by a large store called "Bamboo Film Store", Zhang Lie seemed to suddenly think of something. He had already walked over, but suddenly stopped and turned around and walked back.
"Bamboo Film Store? Senior brother, have you never practiced puppet art? What should I do when I enter this bamboo film store?" Ye Ling, who was standing beside him, asked curiously.
"I haven't practiced before, but it doesn't mean I won't practice in the future. Speaking of which, this bamboo movie shop is still a specialty store of my Qianzhushan Sect, but I have never come in."
The true disciples of Qianzhushan Sect all practiced the "Yang Shenzhi" technique. Because of their outstanding spiritual consciousness, they were of course very easy to control the puppet formation. During this period, Zhang Lie has had a deep understanding of the formation method and the wood-slide and the wood-science. Therefore, when he passed by today, he suddenly thought of entering: the Yangshen Zhi plus the puppet formation plus the formation. This can be said to be a classic combination of the true disciples of Qianzhushan Sect.
When you walk into the store, everyone feels a cool and pure aura. In this bamboo film shop, green and jasper-like spiritual bamboos are planted in many places to purify the turbid air and strengthen the aura. In addition, there are many large crystal gardens in the store, and even all the grounds under your feet are made of transparent crystals. The convenience of the entire bamboo film shop is a large panda garden, with many chubby and cute black and white striped pandas walking inside, including gray and orange special pandas.
Zhang Lie noticed that among the many pandas, there was an old panda covered with thick golden armor, sitting on an overwhelmed tree branch, looking up at the distance, as if missing something, which inexplicably gave people a very sad and sad feeling.
"This golden-armored war bear is missing his previous master. The life of the spirit beast is far longer than that of the human monks of the same level. Therefore, after giving one loyalty, the spirit beast is often more hurt." At this time, a maid in green walked over and introduced the history of the old golden-armored war bear in the spirit garden to everyone present.
"It feels so sad, it feels so sad? Do the bamboo movie shop also sells spirit beasts?"
"We are not sold by everyone. If we were not recognized by the War Bear, we would only sell them spiritual bamboo utensils, but the spirit beast War Bear will not sell them. The equal blood contract signed by our store with the War Bear clan is not just goods."
"Oh, that's it. Are these war bears strong?" Han Ling'er and Ye Ling were both quite curious. After all, these war bears who looked cute and slow to act were more capable than the other in terms of appearance. When they saw a pink and white panda, their eyes almost turned heart-shaped, but they didn't seem to be very good in actual combat.
"Haha, many years ago, war bears were not called cat bears. Before Panda, they were the main war beasts famous in the Mingzhou region. They enjoyed great reputation in many nearby states. There was even a sect that used this spirit beast as a symbol of the battle flag. They were once as famous as the Green Dragon Flag, Red Flag and other banners. However, later, monks gradually discovered that this spirit beast had the effect of gathering luck and praying for blessings, so they gradually stopped cultivating them as combat-type spirit beasts. Many sects and large families kept them in the spirit garden as ornamental spirit beasts. However, I can still tell you with certainty that most monks of the same level could not last for three or five rounds in front of them."
“Wow!”
"How many spirit stones are there?"
"Guests, you are here this time. Our store is currently holding a large-scale guest remuneration event. If you can get the recognition of the War Bear, you can get a Qi Refining Realm War Bear without equipment with 10,000 low-grade spirit stones!" The female cultivator in blue looked very cost-effective, and you looked like you had taken a big advantage.
However, Han Ling'er and Ye Ling were silent all the time. Following An Shijie beside him, Jin Zuzhi held his storage bag tighter, his face turned blue.
Zhang Lie didn't dare to look at the fat bears too much because he knew very well that spiritual beasts like this with the characteristics of "gathering luck" and "praying blessings" are all super-large sects and super-large immortal cultivation families. Although their luck has always been vague, the purchase price of spiritual beasts like those of fat bears that are both gathering luck and praying blessings, viewing, and combat will still be exaggerated to the point that many monks find it difficult to understand and accept.
However, you can't afford it, how many sects and large families are crying and shouting how many are they trying to invite back.
"Don't you really buy it? The opportunity is rare. Statistics show that the power of raising bears and the number of spiritual roots derived within the sphere of influence have increased significantly."
"It's not that they don't want to raise it, but they can't afford this price. Moreover, the later price of raising this high-quality spirit beast is also very exaggerated. Sister, don't tease these guys." Zhang Lie stepped forward and spoke out to relieve the situation, and at the same time brought the topic back to the point.
"I plan to buy some top-quality Qi Refining Spiritual Bamboo Puppets, and the money should be considered relatively abundant."
The budget for a medium-grade spirit stone of 1,200 is normal enough to buy two of the initial spiritual weapons, but Zhang Lie only dares to be more generous when buying magic weapons. He was really shocked by the heroic spirit of the woman in blue.
The man in front of him seemed to be accustomed to doing bulk transactions, and even one or two thousand spirit stones were ignored.
"You rarely catch up with our store celebration. You can keep these five jade tablets. When you want to buy them in the future, you will still calculate the price of the reward event."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."
After distributing five jade to the five people present, the woman in green led the five people to the second floor puppet store.
This bamboo movie shop is obviously closely related to the Qianzhushan Sect. The Qianzhushan Sect's spiritual beasts and various classic puppets are almost all of them here, and even giant sect war puppets are sold in this store. Normally, this is already a contraband and should not appear in this type of store.
"I don't need anything particularly exaggerated. Such super-large puppets are of no use to me. What I need is personal use, just a classic spiritual bamboo puppet." The super-large sect war puppet, because of its completely deformed design, can reach a very exaggerated level, but the consumption of spirit stones is like burning. If it is not a large force, it can basically not burn at all. Moreover, this kind of monster is only suitable for driving near the mountain gate, with high consumption and high attacks, but for high-level monks, it is particularly crisp.
"I understand your requirements. So, how about a Red Rainbow Flying Boat like this? Second-level mid-grade spiritual weapon. It uses a five hundred-year-old Red Rainbow Spiritual Bamboo as the main material of the dragon bone, and uses the tendons of the dragon as the bones, and uses the dragon's skin to make sails. Outside the dragon bone are four-layer defensive spiritual bamboos, which can withstand the attacks of most first-level magic weapons for a long time and resist the attacks of most second-level magic weapons for a short time. A space magic array is also designed at the core of the inside, so that this flying boat can enlarge the space."
This is obviously a strategic spiritual weapon suitable for people who have been traveling for a long time. Zhang Lie asked about the flight data. Whether it is the capacity or speed, it is better than the Tongbi Gourd. There is a mechanism in the flying boat, so that poisonous mist can be sprayed out when necessary to cover the flight and escape. It can be said that the design is very fine.
"Are there any other types? Besides, this is not a Qi-refining-level spiritual bamboo puppet, right?"
"Uh, sorry, the old problem has been dealt with again, I'm taking the initiative." In fact, it's not taking the initiative. The woman in blue obviously saw that Zhang Lie was vaguely as the leader among the people, and was obviously rich and worth a lot of money. Therefore, she still tried to sell spiritual weapons instead of making money. Although the top quality of magic weapons may not be inferior to some spiritual weapons, such things rarely appear. On the contrary, for big businesses, it is easier to buy junior and middle-level spiritual weapons.
"The first-level Qi-refining Spiritual Bamboo Puppet, 189 soldiers' formation map. This scroll is sealed with 189 spiritual bamboo puppets. It is the work of a puppet weapon refining master. To be honest, although it is not a spiritual weapon, I really don't want to sell it. I have hosted the bamboo movie shop for many years, but there are not many top-quality magic weapons like this that can be seen."
Open a long brocade box, and then the woman in green took out a scroll from it. The scroll was almost half a person tall. When it was slowly opened, everyone present exclaimed softly.
In the long scroll, a group of swordsmen of straw raincoats go to a banquet and drink together. Some of them are carrying lamps and swords. At this moment, the gray and dark sky is falling down, but this cannot extinguish the interest of these swordsmen of straw raincoats go to drink together with lanterns to protect the wind and rain.
In the forest where the swordsmen walked out, blood gradually diluted by the rain spread out, and half of the head was cut to the ground.
The whole picture shows the meaning of desolation, struggle, and the ten-year lantern of night rain in the rivers and lakes. A group of down-and-out swordsmen in the rivers and lakes. After they fought in the bamboo forest, those who walked out alive, carried lanterns and sheathed swords, went to a banquet, drink and eat meat together, helpless, but also showed an inexplicable free and easy heroism.
"This picture is almost not a top magic weapon, but a work of art. Therefore, if it weren't for the customer's repeated requests, I really wouldn't plan to take it out for you to see it. It's not long since I bought it, and I haven't appreciated it enough."
"I want it, let's make a price." His palm slowly rubbed over the "One Hundred and Eighty-Nine-Man Soldier Array Map", feeling the spiritual ripples and murderous sword intent. Zhang Lie's expression at this moment seemed to have drunk several sips of mellow and delicious top-grade magic wine one after another. He could feel that the sacrificial scholars of this picture must have been to the world of the world. He had even collected a lot of soul artistic conceptions and integrated them into it. He was extremely ambitious, but unfortunately, his life was over before he could complete his full efforts.
This puppet weapon refiner is not afraid of death. It’s just a pity that the work he has gathered through his life has not been completed in the end.
This is a puppet weapon refiner who came from Qianzhushan Sect but has not known why he has been in the secular world for a long time. Because of almost the same experience, Zhang Lie found that feeling of "closeness" in this picture.
And he can also be sure that this thing is almost the best among magical instruments!
"Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."
"Sister, are you robbing it? Two thousand medium-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a top-grade spiritual weapon!" The first-grade/lower-grade spirit weapons are five or six hundred, seven or eight hundred, and medium-grade spirit stones often exceed 1,000 to 1,500 medium-grade spirit stones. Depending on the different functions, two thousand medium-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a purely attack-type spiritual weapon. Even if it is a top-grade magic weapon, its power can be comparable to that of the first-grade/lower-grade spiritual weapon, but it is impossible to match the middle-grade and high-grade spiritual weapon after all. Otherwise, why do you have to distinguish between first-grade magic weapons and second-grade spiritual weapons?
To be continued...
