Chapter 16: The Blood Maple Boat Riding Linglong [Please recommend, please read]
“It’s easier to spend money than to make money.”
After putting the talismans and pills into his backpack, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the purse that was deflated by a quarter, and he also stuffed a fasting pill into his mouth.
Mm, it tastes good, beefy.
After using spiritual power to transform it, I felt a stream of energy flowing into my abdomen, filling my stomach, and I instantly no longer felt hungry.
According to the female alchemist, one fasting pill can provide a person with energy for seven days. During these seven days, the person does not need to eat, which is quite magical.
As for the Qi-boosting pill that was said to increase the speed of Qi-refining monks' cultivation, Zhang Wei didn't feel much after taking it. After taking a bottle, it didn't help him expand his Dantian as much as an electrotherapy session.
Even this bottle of Qi-boosting pills costs a high price of one or two spirit stones each!
As expected, craftsmen are popular wherever they go.
I worked hard for more than a year to make a thunder bomb, and I only earned more than 200 taels of spiritual stones from selling it. But I spent 50 taels on just buying a few talismans and a few bottles of elixir.
This alchemy and talisman drawing are really good helpers for other colleagues to make money. With such a skill, isn't it easy to make money from these resources?
However, Zhang Wei also knew that this was just a survivor bias. There were many people who invested all their wealth in refining pills and drawing talismans but achieved nothing, but how many of them really achieved success?
Danqi Fuzhen, each of which requires a lot of resources and energy to build up to achieve something. Unless you are a disciple of a family of immortal cultivators or a sect, it is too difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to make a name for themselves with this.
However, despite this, Zhang Wei still wanted to try his hand at the four arts of cultivation. However, his primary target was not the ordinary alchemists or talisman masters, but the weapon refiners!
Because he will still need enough electricity to practice in the future, which requires some special equipment, it is better to make it himself just in case.
If he really doesn't have the talent for refining equipment, then he can try other ways.
Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, Zhang Wei must have a relevant inheritance.
Unfortunately, along the way, Zhang Wei did not see any stalls selling related books, not even any stalls selling magic weapons.
Most of them were selling things that they had found from who knows where. As for those like Xiao Yunshan and the pretty and innocent woman who were selling talismans and elixirs, they were already the most high-end stalls on this street!
Not only that, Zhang Wei also found that the immortal cultivators he met along the way seemed to have no magic weapons to protect themselves. Although the weapons carried by many people were of good quality, they were just ordinary items, and were not even as good as the hundred-forged long sword he had obtained for martial arts training.
"It seems that magic weapons are very precious in the world of immortal cultivation. Weapon refiners should be very popular." Seeing this situation, Zhang Wei couldn't help but guess in his heart. He wished he could get a piece of weapon refinement inheritance immediately to try his hand.
By the way, Zhang Wei was also thinking about whether he could use the power of the books in his mind to modernize the equipment. If he succeeded, he would just use the infinite sword technique when fighting with others in the future, and treat the magic weapon as a disposable bomb!
But after thinking about it, Zhang Wei sighed: "Forget it, I'd better wait until the late stage of Qi Refining, go to Chuyun Market, and go to a regular store to see if I can find a legacy."
But the prerequisite is that he has enough spirit stones.
At present, he has to spend one or two spirit stones to buy a first-level middle-grade spirit talisman. The price required for the four inheritances of alchemy, weapons, talismans and arrays is definitely not low, not to mention the resources needed to study the four arts afterwards. His more than two hundred spirit stones are probably just a waste.
“You still have to make money…”
Just as Zhang Wei was feeling emotional, he heard a hurried sound of horse riding coming from outside the village.
“Gee, gee, gee—”
stomping on...
A team of knights riding on red-maned horses simply ignored all the martial artists present and drove straight to the place where the most people were.
The monks were about to get angry, but they all fell silent after seeing the flag raised by the knights.
There is no other reason, because the other party’s banner is Luoxia Wang family.
The overlord behind Luoxia County! A family of immortal cultivators with a foundation-building master! Even the horses they ride are half-demon beasts with demon bloodlines! This is something that those of them who came from humble backgrounds cannot compare to.
Not to mention that the leader of this team of knights is also a great master with the cultivation of the late stage of Qi Refining. The combination of the two is enough to suppress the dissatisfaction of everyone present.
“Oh——”
Wang Deming pulled his horse to a stop, then shouted to the martial artists who were watching him, "According to the order of my Wang family's ancestor, I am calling on you to go into the mountains and suppress the corpse chaos from now on! The Wang family promises that for every ordinary corpse servant or corpse beast you kill, you will be rewarded with one ounce of silver!
If you kill a corpse slave with cultivation, you can reward him with spirit stones of varying values depending on his cultivation! Those who perform outstandingly can join our Wang family and get a glimpse of the secret of immortality!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an instant uproar, and countless martial artists' eyes instantly turned red, looking as if they couldn't wait to rush into the mountains and kill everyone in the group of zombie beasts.
Wang Deming's voice naturally also reached the village, or in other words, his words were actually addressed to the immortal cultivators in the village.
However, compared to the already excited martial artists, the cultivators in the village were generally much more reserved. Although they were excited, they did not lose their composure.
"The Luoxia Wang family really spent a lot of money." Someone sighed: "After this battle, even if the Luoxia Wang family solves the corpse chaos, they will still bleed a lot."
"Who cares? We are here to make money. The higher the price they offer, the more we will earn. It would be best if we could exchange all of Wang's wealth and let them occupy the spiritual vein of Luoxia Mountain! Humph!"
"Joining the Wang family... this is the chance we have been waiting for! Fellow Taoists, whether you can escape the predicament of being a casual cultivator depends on this battle!"
After Wang Deming made his promise, the cultivators in the village gathered to discuss the pros and cons. Many of them just wanted to make money. There were also some who wanted to take advantage of the situation to join the Wang family, and even more.
After all, for most casual cultivators, even if they were to stay with a foundation-building master, their life would be much better than wandering around in the outside world without support. Therefore, Wang Deming's promise was still very attractive to most casual cultivators.
So in this atmosphere, many cultivators and martial artists immediately chose to go into the mountains early, intending to seek a better future.
Before the sun set, as the first group of cultivators and martial artists returned with the heads of corpse beasts and slaves and received the promised rewards from Wang Deming, everyone's enthusiasm for entering the mountain reached a climax!
Just after dawn the next day, thousands of martial arts masters and hundreds of immortal cultivators poured into Luoxia Mountain. For a time, there were more people than wild beasts in this branch of Luoxia Mountain. The hidden corpse beasts and corpse slaves were directly pulled out and became the achievements of these people.
But casualties also increased. Zhang Wei could clearly feel that the village had become much more desolate. Someone he had met once before did not return the next day. After two days, the stalls at the village market would have one or two more bloody objects.
Many people were bitten by corpse slaves and beasts. Fortunately, Wang of Luoxia had integrity and took the initiative to treat these people. Otherwise, when the next day dawned, Zhang Wei would probably see a scene of widespread grief.
This further strengthened Zhang Wei's determination to stay in the gathering place of immortal cultivators and not go to Luoxia Mountain to fight the zombies to the death.
The little money that Wang promised was not worth Mr. Zhang's life to earn!
Some people were injured, and naturally some people gained something from this corpse chaos. With the rewards from killing corpse beasts and corpse slaves, this small village at the foot of Luoxia Mountain gradually prospered.
No matter if they are cultivators or martial artists, the first thing they choose to do after receiving the reward is to consume it, transform it into strength as quickly as possible and then kill more zombie beasts and zombie slaves.
During this period, the thunder bombs sold by Zhang Wei performed brilliantly when everyone was exploring Luoxia Mountain, and attracted unanimous praise from users.
According to the immortal cultivators, although this thing doesn't have as large an attack range as the talisman, it is quite powerful and has a miraculous effect on corpse servants and beasts. One blow can blow the corpse servants and beasts equivalent to the middle stage of Qi Refining to pieces. You can easily earn several taels of spiritual stones. Can you believe that such a treasure only costs one or two spiritual stones for three pieces! The cost-effectiveness is much higher than those talismans, right? !
Therefore, after returning from Luoxia Mountain, the cultivators who had witnessed the power of the Sky-Bomb began to look everywhere for the black-robed man who had sold the Sky-Bomb, hoping to get some more from him for backup.
It’s okay to increase the price!
Unfortunately, the black-robed man who sold the thunder bomb at a low price with great righteousness has disappeared. All the monks sighed and praised this noble fellow Taoist.
In this regard, five-star good man Zhang Wei said.
It doesn’t matter, this is what I should do!
Seeing the second-hand thunder bombs being sold at the same high price as talismans, at one or two spirit stones each, Zhang Wei's mouth was grinning with joy.
"Hmph, what strange and shabby tricks! How can such unorthodox things be as useful as my talismans! Using such vulgar things is simply tarnishing the identity of cultivators like us!" Xiao Yunshan sneered.
Eight hundred thunderbolts comparable to first-class mid-grade talismans directly reduced Xiao Yunshan's talisman business by 90%! Now Xiao Yunshan can only sell low-grade talismans such as exorcism talismans.
Zhang Wei had no doubt that if he dared to reveal his identity in front of the other party, the other party would take out a stack of talismans and bombard him with them to vent his anger.
So out of guilt, Zhang Wei took care of a lot of Xiao Yunshan's business in the past few days. Although he could not get the price of those first-grade mid-quality talismans, he took the opportunity to bargain and bought a lot of those first-grade ones.
By the way, he also established a preliminary relationship with Xiao Yunshan, a casual talisman master. He would chat with him whenever he had time, or discuss doubts about his cultivation.
Xiao Yunshan was indeed a talisman master in the late stage of Qi training, and the suggestions he made were very helpful to Zhang Wei. The same was true for the partner in the land of wealth, companion and law.
Apart from Xiao Yunshan, the business of other vendors was not affected by the rain, especially the young woman selling elixirs, who came to her to buy elixirs in an endless stream every day.
As for the noble families outside the village who came with weapons, armor, food, and healing medicines to sell, they naturally made a fortune. According to the information Zhang Da had heard, many things of the Zhang family's caravan from his master Zhang Er had been sold out.
According to Zhang Wei's estimation, his Zhang family could earn at least five thousand taels of silver from this opportunity, which was equivalent to the Zhang family's total income for a whole year. Even if other families came later and earned less, they could still earn a thousand taels of silver.
Some people from the Wang family helped to suppress the corpse chaos, martial artists and independent cultivators were rewarded with gold and silver resources, and those who set up stalls also made a lot of money. It can be said that everyone was happy.
However, on the fifth day after the cultivators entered the mountain, Zhang Wei, who was still wandering around the mountain village looking around and buying some things, suddenly heard a whistling sound coming from above his head.
In fact, not only he, but also the entire mountain village and thousands of people outside the village heard it. The other party had no intention of hiding it.
As a huge shadow enveloped the mountain village, everyone looked up and opened their mouths in horror.
I saw a thirty-meter-long building ship appearing above the mountain village at some point. The surface of the building ship was glittering with light, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary thing.
"Oh my god... that is..."
A knowledgeable cultivator said in astonishment, "A flying boat magic weapon! That's at least a second-grade top-grade magic weapon! This one is so big, it must be at least third-grade! Which sect's direct descendant is this from?!"
"That is……"
Some sharp-eyed monks even keenly spotted the blood-red maple leaf logo on the ship below and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
“Blood Maple Valley! It’s the treasure ship of Blood Maple Valley!”
"Blood Maple Valley, why did they come to our Linglong Region!"
Everyone started a heated discussion, involving thousands of martial artists outside, making the small mountain village look like a vegetable market.
At this moment, an orange-red rainbow light flew rapidly from the direction of Luoxia Mountain, and soon crossed a distance of more than ten miles and arrived in front of the Blood Maple Treasure Boat.
The rainbow light dissipated, and a middle-aged man with white hair and beard appeared in front of everyone. He then bowed to the Blood Maple Treasure Boat and said, "I didn't know that the Blood Maple disciple was here. Please forgive me."
"That's the ancestor of the Wang family! A master of foundation building!" Someone revealed the identity of the middle-aged man, which immediately caused an uproar.
For a cultivator who has established his foundation in Taoism, all of his spiritual energy will transform into spiritual fluid to nourish his entire body, which will extend his lifespan by another sixty years compared to the theoretical limit of 120 years in the Qi Refining Realm!
At least 180 years of life! When the cultivation breaks through the middle and late stages, it will increase the lifespan by at least half a century. This is enough for a foundation-building cultivator to watch the rise and fall of most secular dynasties. Coupled with powerful strength, he can be called a master in any place in the five domains and seventy-three countries.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances at the mastermind behind Luoxia County. After all, this was the most powerful person he had ever seen.
Just as he turned his gaze towards the ancestor of the Wang family, a powerful voice came from the Blood Maple Treasure Boat.
"You are too polite, Mr. Wang. We are here to lend a helping hand to your clan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of blood-red light flew out from the treasure boat and stood opposite the ancestor of the Wang family.
This was a big man with a red beard and muscular body, which formed a sharp contrast with the immortal-like appearance of the Wang family ancestor. Some people believed that he was a commoner.
But it is precisely such a person who exudes an aura that is even more powerful than that of the ancestor of the Wang family.
"Another person who has established the foundation! And his strength is even stronger than that of the ancestor of the Wang family!" Zhang Wei thought to himself. At this moment, he suddenly spotted a familiar beautiful figure on the Blood Maple Treasure Boat from the corner of his eye.
"Sister Jun Qiu?!"
Zhang Wei widened his eyes in disbelief as he looked at the girl who was leaning against the side of the boat, curiously looking at the mountain village below, while chatting and laughing with a burly "young man" beside her.
Looking at the sturdy young man chatting and laughing with Liang Junqiu, Zhang Wei thought to himself: "I didn't expect that Sister Junqiu is actually related to the Blood Maple Valley. And it seems that the person has a high status in the Blood Maple Valley..."
He didn't mean to be jealous. After all, although he and Liang Junqiu had a good relationship, they were not yet boyfriend and girlfriend. He just felt a little emotional.
I thought back to a few days ago at the Lu Ming Banquet, when I was still able to maintain the arrogance of an immortal cultivator and coldly watched the clown making a fool of himself in front of me.
In the blink of an eye, the classmate who had been chatting and laughing with me in the painting boat boarded the Blood Maple Treasure Boat and joined the Blood Maple Valley, one of the five great sects. The gap between him and a casual cultivator like me was directly widened.
It felt like the clown was actually me.
“Pride and complacency shouldn’t be tolerated. You’re just a middle-stage Qi Refining cultivator, but you’re already so arrogant and conceited, looking down on your former mortal self. What’s the difference between this mentality and those dissolute villains who can’t survive more than three chapters?” Zhang Wei sighed, then bowed to the treasure ship in the sky, or to Liang Junqiu, who had taught him a lesson, and then disappeared into the crowd.
On the other side, after a brief greeting, the ancestor of the Wang family also extended his hand to invite, "Fellow Daoists from the Blood Maple Valley, please follow me into the mountain."
