Another world: I loaded the career panel

Chapter 113
"Fortunately, I run fast."

The person asking for the price was none other than Raymond.

At this time, he was wearing a face-covering bamboo hat. This kind of bamboo hat had gauze to cover his face. The effect could only be said to be unsatisfactory, and there were also many people wearing bamboo hats in the square.

After shopping around, Raymond had almost found out all the prices. Some were written directly on the brands, and some were not written. He waited for someone to ask the price, but there was no one, so he did what he had just done.

Although the prices vary a bit, we understand the general price range.

"The next step is to set up a stall."

Soon, he found an empty stall, and then took out a few brands and brushes and ink from his bag.

I bought these for one tael of gold when I just inquired about the price. There are also a few blank booklets inside, which will be sold and used to write down the techniques and spells.

Raymond dipped his brush in ink and wrote down the items he wanted to sell and the price.

"Fourth level of Five Elements Kung Fu, four spiritual stones."

"The fifth level of Five Elements Kung Fu, eight spiritual stones."

"Light Feather Technique, ten spiritual stones."

"Protection technique, fifteen spiritual stones."

Light Feather Technique and Body Protection Technique are both third-level Qi training spells, but defensive spells tend to be more expensive, and the same goes for talismans.

Raymond looked at the handwriting he had written. It was crooked, like an earthworm crawling, and he couldn't bear to look at it.

Looking at the eyes around me, I couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, I had a bamboo hat so that no one would see me.

Thinking that they didn't know who he was, Raymond became more stubborn. He immediately sat up straight and put the sign in place.

"As long as you sell one piece at random, you can pay off the usury of the two spirit stones."

However, after being put on display for a long time, no one asked about the price. Most people took one look at it, crossed the stall, or laughed at the words on his sign.

This made Raymond wonder for a while, couldn't these people afford exercises and spells?Or do they already have them?
Raymond kept waiting until the sun was high in the sky, but failed to sell a copy. During this period, only two people asked about the price, both asking if it could be cheaper. After Raymond expressed his willingness, they both refused.

It made Raymond wonder if the stall owner whom he asked about the price was deliberately looking for someone to entertain him.

But these are not the main thing. The main thing is that tomorrow is the deadline for returning the spirit stone!

"Wait, wait, maybe it will happen in a while." Raymond comforted himself to calm down.

But my heart became heavier and heavier.

After a while, Raymond lowered the price of each item by one spiritual stone.

But still no one cared.

So it was lowered again and again, and the fourth level of skills was directly reduced to two spiritual stones. But not only did the situation not improve, but no one even asked if it could be sold at a lower price.

"Do we really have to sell magical artifacts?" Looking at the crowd gradually thinning out, Raymond knew that he probably wouldn't be able to sell them today.

In this case, there is only one way to sell the magic weapon.

Before last night, Raymond would never have dared to think so.

But now he can draw talismans. With the spirit stone and the talisman-making tools, he can make a living by drawing talismans at home. There is no need to go to the wild to find elixirs and herbs. As long as he is careful and does not go out, his safety is still guaranteed.

As for the spiritual weapon, once you have accumulated enough spiritual stones by selling talismans, you can buy another one.

The Light Feather Talisman has one spirit stone per piece, and the amulet has four spirit stones per piece!
Because of this, Wang Ming was able to have two high-grade magical weapons close to him before.

"No hurry, no hurry, come back tomorrow and have a look." Until the end, Raymond didn't want to do this.

After staying for a while, just as Raymond was about to close his files, a passing monk glanced at him, then smiled contemptuously and said:
"It's sold so cheaply, and it looks like it's a fake exercise."

Little did Raymond know that lowering the price would be counterproductive, causing people to mistake the product for a fake.

"I'm really not good at doing business." Raymond finally closed the stall reluctantly.

Before leaving, Raymond bought some ferocious beast meat and some ordinary fruits.

The ferocious beast is not a monster. One tael of gold per pound is quite cheap.

On the way back, Raymond felt heavy in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't see the vicious man.

But there’s no telling whether the other party might be hiding in the dark.

……

night.

In the dimly lit room, whispered spells sounded from time to time.

"Quick!" Raymond shouted.

As the voice fell, an invisible force burst out from his body. This force finally condensed twenty centimeters away from his body, like a shield.

This is exactly the amulet that comes with the memory of the amulet.

It is also the most difficult spell to learn at a lower level.

Not only are there many spells and various techniques, but they also consume a lot of spiritual energy. Using the third level of Qi training twice can consume all the spiritual energy in the body.

Before Raymond could be happy, the shield suddenly shook, and before he could react, it disappeared into nothingness with a 'pop' sound.

"Well, it's a pity, we almost succeeded." Even if it failed, Raymond was not annoyed at all.

Because this is the second time he has used self-protection.

If others knew about it, their jaws would probably drop.

The Body Protection Technique is the most difficult first-level low-level spell to learn, and is more difficult than many first-level mid-level spells. Even monks in the middle stage of Qi training need to spend a lot of time learning it.

Spells are difficult to learn, consume a lot of mana, and are inconvenient to cast. These shortcomings have caused many people to give up learning spells.Come to think of it, this is the reason why no one buys magic skills today.

And the price of defensive magic weapons is extremely expensive.

Therefore, amulets that only consume a small amount of mana, are convenient and low-cost, have become the best choice for middle- and lower-class monks.

Even though the defensive power of the amulet is a little lower than that of the amulet, it does not affect many monks from flocking to it.

"If you cast it a few more times, you should be able to fully master this spell."

This feeling that no one else can learn, but that he only needs to perform a few times to fully master, makes Raymond feel comfortable.

He was going to meditate to regain his spiritual power and try to win it tonight.

Although it is not necessary to learn the amulet technique to draw an amulet, learning the amulet technique can increase the chance of the amulet being successful.

"Clap clap clap!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Raymond's heart suddenly tightened.

Is it already the second day?
Is that vicious man here to collect loan sharks?

"Who is it?" Raymond put his hand on the Biyue Flying Knife and moved slowly and cautiously towards the door.

"Friend Daoist Liu, it's me." A clear and sweet voice came from outside the house.

Ren Qingqiong.

When he heard that it was her, Raymond, who was tense all over, relaxed immediately.This little girl didn't sleep at night, why did she come to me?

He doesn't think that the other party likes him. He is a 36-year-old middle-aged man who looks 40 years old and is not very attractive.

Raymond still has this self-awareness.

Opening the door, Ren Qingqiong had changed into a goose-yellow dress today. She was standing outside the door, looking quite innocent.

"Fellow Daoist Ren, is there something wrong?" Raymond asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Ren Qingqiong glanced in the direction of her home, and then whispered quickly:
"Have you got any spiritual stones to repay your debt?"

When asked about the thing he least wanted to talk about, Raymond felt a little embarrassed and hesitated: "That...that...not yet...but I still have a spiritual weapon, I can just buy it tomorrow. "

When he thought of the spiritual weapon, Raymond became a lot tougher when he spoke.

"If you sell the spiritual weapon, then you will be fooled! You may lose your life!" Ren Qingqiong said anxiously at this time.

"Huh?" Raymond looked confused and puzzled, then frowned.

"Oh, you..." Ren Qingqiong glanced in the direction of her home again, feeling a little nervous, "Forget it, I'll tell you tomorrow. You can take these five spiritual stones first and wait until you return the spiritual stones tomorrow. .”

Ren Qingqiong took out five spiritual stones from her sleeves, stuffed them into Raymond's hands, and hurried back.

Raymond's brain was still a little unable to react.

As if she thought of something again, Ren Qingqiong suddenly stopped, turned around and said seriously:

"Don't use the extra spiritual stones to hook the fence. My brother said that the female cultivators there have practiced evil secret arts and can eat away people's bones and marrow."

After saying that, he took a deep look at Raymond and left without looking back.

Raymond's face turned red and he was embarrassed.

I have never been to that kind of place, how could I accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!

But for the sake of the spirit stone, Raymond decided to forgive her.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Raymond looked at the five spiritual stones in his hand that exuded a faint blue light, and shook them hard. There was still a trace of Ren Qingqiong's body temperature on them.

Thinking of the nervous look on Ren Qingqiong's head that kept turning around just now, Raymond couldn't help but smile:
"I'm afraid he secretly gave the spirit stone to me without telling his brother. She is such a kind little girl. I never expected that she solved the spirit stone crisis in this way."

This is indeed a bit beyond Raymond's expectation, but as long as he can solve the problem that has been bothering him.

"Five spirit stones. After returning the spirit stones, there are three more, which are just used to buy tools for making talismans. Now, everything is complete."

However, from Ren Qingqiong's previous words, Raymond, who came back to his senses, also realized that this spiritual stone loan shark might not be as simple as he imagined.

"Borrow usury... sell spiritual weapons... go to the wild to find elixirs... Could it be..." Raymond suddenly took a breath as he thought of some possibility.

……

After Raymond closed the door, in a dark corner not far from his residence, a strong man slowly walked out.

It's that vicious man!
He heard clearly the conversation between Ren Qingqiong and Raymond just now, and naturally saw their behavior clearly.

The vicious man's face was uncertain. He glanced at the two-story building with deep fear in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he turned around and left.

What he didn't know was that there was always a figure standing on the second floor, but because of the formation, others couldn't see it.

Ren Ling watched the vicious man leave with an indifferent expression and did not stop him.

Until he heard the sound of the door opening from downstairs, his indifferent expression immediately turned into helplessness.

When Ren Qingqiong tiptoed up the stairs, when she climbed to the second floor and was about to sneak back to her room, there was a coughing sound behind her.

"Cough cough!"

Ren Qingqiong was instantly excited, then immediately pretended to be confused, turned around and asked:

"Hey, brother, you can't sleep either. Why don't you get up and look at the moon?"

Ren Ling had a straight face and snorted: "Why can't you see the moon here, why should you go to the door of Lei Meng's house to see it?"

"Oh, brother, how pitiful Raymond is. We can help him and it will be fine. When we first came here, he still found this place for us to live." Seeing that things had failed, Ren Qingqiong stopped pretending and began to wonder. With love.

Ren Ling was reluctant, "Don't you know why he found such a position? It's because we are strong. Living next to him can intimidate Xiaoxiao."

After saying that, Ren Ling couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Qingqiong, you are just too naive, and you can easily be taken advantage of."

"Okay, brother, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again next time." Ren Qingqiong lowered her eyebrows and looked like she knew she was wrong.

Seeing the other party like this, Ren Ling shook his head and said nothing more.

In fact, he also knew that Ren Qingqiong would not meddle in other people's business.

The reason why she helped Raymond this time was because the other person was their neighbor. When they first came here, they had accepted a small favor from each other, so she wanted to help Raymond this time.

But how did she know that she had driven away robbers who tried to break into the house on behalf of Raymond who was still sleeping in the middle of the night more than once.

The favor has already been repaid.

It's just that he never wanted to say more.

"Go back and rest, don't delay tomorrow's work." Ren Ling said with a straight face.

"I know." As if knowing the importance of tomorrow's matter, Ren Qingqiong nodded and returned to the room.

……

Of course Raymond didn't know what was happening outside.

At this time, he guessed the real purpose of those who lent him spiritual stones at usury.

What these people were interested in from the beginning was not the two spiritual stones, but the spiritual weapon on his body!

The people they borrow spiritual stones from are selectively selected from the beginning and will definitely not be able to return the spiritual stones.

In the end, he could only sell his spiritual weapon.

Without spiritual weapons to protect you, if you go to the wild to find spiritual herbs and elixirs, in the eyes of others, you will be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

And those people happen to know which lamb is.

"The world of cultivating immortals is really full of intrigues. Even a low-level cultivator like me is plotting against him!" Lei Meng's heart was cold and he was frightened for a while.

Although he doesn't have to go to the wild even if he sells the spiritual weapon, even in a shantytown, it is not absolutely safe, otherwise the Talisman Master Wang Ming would not have been killed last night.

This was the first time that Raymond felt that death was so close to him, which gave him a strong sense of crisis.

"Tonight, you must learn the art of self-protection!"

Raymond did not dare to waste any more time, and immediately returned to bed to meditate, running the exercises according to his memory, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to restore his spiritual power.

As for why the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is not absorbed, this is because the spiritual energy in the low-grade spiritual stone has too many impurities. Direct absorption will not only fail to increase cultivation and restore spiritual power, but will cause serious damage to the meridians.

Generally, medium and low-grade spiritual stones are used to provide spiritual power for formations. Only the spiritual energy in high-grade spiritual stones can be directly absorbed.

Almost two hours later, Raymond slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air.
