After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 44. The Time to Return Has Come
A few days later.
Snake corpse market.

On one side, there was a gloomy look, on the other side, there was a smile, all kinds of laughter mixed with crying. Looking up, one scene was still crying with head bowed, and the next scene was laughing out loud.

Song Yan came to Dan Lazi's stall with ease.

Dan Lazi, that is, the casual cultivator who sold him the "Duan Zang Dan".

These few times, he deliberately looked for the same person. Firstly, he felt that Dan Lazi was quite capable; secondly, he saw that Dan Lazi even brought his daughter to the city, and seemed to be doing business for a long time, so he wanted to establish some relationship with him.

Today, he scanned the stall and found that there were many more things on the stall, including elixirs, mysterious tools, and even jade slips. Next to the jade slips were the "name of the spell" and the price required for inheritance.

He looked up at the little girl guarding the stall.

This little girl is called "Xiao Hongla" and it seems that she also has a mysterious root.

At this time, Xiao Hongla was pouting.

Song Yan wanted to congratulate him on his "rich harvest", but when Xiao Hongla looked up and saw that it was him, she turned around without saying a word and shouted, "Dad, Dad, Taiyi is here."

Taiyi is the Taoist name Song Yan gave to himself as a casual cultivator, and its function is equivalent to that of "Hua Rong".

Soon, the door opened and Dan Lazi walked out.

Song Yan was stunned. This middle-aged cultivator with sharp eyes actually had his left arm broken. His face was pale and very weak.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I have to thank you." Dan Lazi came over and spoke with great emotion.

Song Yan asked with concern: "Brother Dan Dao, what happened?"

Dan Lazi sighed and said, "Let's talk inside."

Song Yan nodded.

Seeing that he did not hesitate, Dan Lazi nodded secretly in her heart and her expression became more friendly.

After a while, they both entered the house.

The house looked ordinary from the outside, but it was extremely luxurious inside. A beautiful woman poured spiritual tea for the two of them.

Dan Lazi actually introduced directly: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, this is my Taoist partner Chunyun. Chunyun, this is the fellow Daoist Taiyi I told you about before."

The beautiful woman bowed and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, my husband is thinking about you and said that you might be a great leather craftsman.

Thinking of being your neighbor.

You are now at the sixth level of Xuan. My wife is slightly better than me and has already reached the seventh level of Xuan.

If we were neighbors, we could still help you."

Dan Lazi said: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, my Snake Corpse Market suffered heavy losses this time, and many experts have gone.

Even I, even though I lost an arm, am now one of the top three in the neighborhood.

If you come, you can also become one of the top five in the community, and you will have a lot of say. In addition."

He lowered his voice and said, "We have a beautiful female cultivator here, her realm is the fifth level of Lianxuan, and her Taoist partner just happened to die in the Demon Swamp. If Taoist Taiyi stays, I can act as a matchmaker."

As he spoke, he chuckled and said, "Only when a Taoist couple practices together can they cultivate quickly."

Song Yan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother Dao, the Demon Swamp is so dangerous? How could there be so many losses?"

Dan Lazi smiled bitterly and said, "This time, I teamed up with several Daoist friends who are at a high level in the Lianxuan realm, and went deep into the Demon Swamp together to open up new areas and explore some new areas.

As a result, all my fellow Taoists died. I was able to escape only with the help of your bodyless phantom crow."

Immediately, he continued his story.

The two sat together.

Song Yan listened to him while drinking the spiritual tea.

This time, even Chunyun looked at him with a much friendlier expression.

He entered the house and drank tea without any hesitation or vigilance. This certainly shows that the other party may not be careful enough, but it also shows that the relationship between the other party and his family is quite close.

Dan Lazi finished his speech, saying, "That giant crocodile demon was too terrifying. I only used the bodyless phantom crow to block the attack at the critical moment, so I escaped in embarrassment. However, the harvest was also quite rich."

Song Yan said: "I see that the number of people setting up stalls in the market has increased instead of decreased. What's going on?"

Dan Lazi said: "Isn't it because the resources in the Demon Swamp are abundant? Several people got the chance and actually gave birth to 'mixed Xuan roots' directly from 'no Xuan roots', and those small cultivators with low realms reaped even more rewards.

This demonic swamp is good, but if you go deeper, something bad will happen."

It was the first time that Song Yan heard that "Xuan Gen" could be grown by external objects.
Although it is only the lowest level of "mixed Xuan Gen" among the Xuan Gen, it is still outrageous.

He was possessed by ghosts for forty years before he developed the ghost root.
This is enough to prove that there are indeed many treasures hidden in the "Devil's Swamp". No wonder these high-level cultivators would venture deeper into it.

Now that it has suffered heavy losses, the "Snake Corpse Market" is thinking about recruiting "high-combat-power independent cultivators".

That's why Danlazi and Chunyun were so active in trying to win over Song Yan, and even wanted to act as a matchmaker for him and find him a Taoist partner.

To be honest, Song Yan was somewhat tempted. After all, although this "Snake Corpse Market" was weird, as long as he didn't enter the "Demon Swamp", he would be relatively safe, at least better than the spooky place of the Puppet Sect.

However, after Song Yan asked about the price of the "monster fur", his face turned green.

Firstly, there are very few monster skins in the "Snake Corpse Market", and a piece of "monster skin similar to that of a low-level monster like the two-headed wolf" is sold for as much as 10 black jade beans.

These black jade beans are black jade the size of soybeans. If they are bigger, they can also be calculated as two.

10 black jade beans weigh about 1 tael.

And 20 Xuanyu beans can also be used to buy a set of "Public Magic Spells of the First Level of Lianxuan" in the "Snake Corpse Market".

The high price immediately shattered his desire.

He suddenly felt that the Puppet Sect still had its advantages.

In the Puppet Sect, he never had to worry about the "demon beast fur". He just had to keep making leather, leather, and leather.

He loves leatherworking.

This is what he regards as his life's work.

Outside, it’s too difficult.
But whether or not to return to the Puppet Sect does not depend on him, but on whether the sect leader will still be there in five years.

Song Yan did not agree to "stay" nor did he refuse, but just said that there were still some unfinished business.

The Danlazi couple did not force them and just said they were welcome here anytime.

Afterwards, Song Yan wandered around the Snake Corpse Market for quite a while, only to find that the high-level "Breath Concealing Technique" was not for sale at all.

He thought about it carefully and agreed.

There is mysterious energy flowing everywhere in your body, how can you contain it?
But the problem is that Song Yan must be prepared to "hide", otherwise he will not be able to return to the Puppet Sect.

Soon, Song Yan considered the problem from a different angle: Since it cannot be contained, can it be sealed temporarily?

With this change of thinking, he actually found a good thing - a sealing talisman.

The Sealing Talisman is a low-level common talisman with only one function: after subduing a ghost, stick this talisman on the ghost to restrain it. The principle is that the Sealing Talisman can absorb the evil spirit of the ghost and imprison it at the place where the talisman and the flesh are connected. If a naughty child tears off the talisman, the evil spirit will return instantly and the ghost will revive instantly.

This thing has limited effects, so not many people draw it, and it can also be traded with gold and silver.

Song Yan spent a 100-liang silver note in exchange for a sealing talisman, and then left.

After returning to Tianyun City, he found a quiet place and stuck the sealing talisman under his navel. Suddenly, he felt that the evil spirit in his body was pulled towards his navel by a small force, and then stored in the place where the talisman and his flesh were touching.

At this time, even if someone uses Qi to explore the body, they will not be able to detect the evil spirit that is "hidden" by the sealing talisman.

Although this sealing talisman cannot hide all of his evil spirit, it can do so when combined with the "Mystical Art of Condensing Evil Spirit and Controlling It".

'it works! ’

Song Yan's eyes lit up.

A few days later.
He took a large sum of silver bills from Tianyun City and went to the Snake Corpse Market to buy all 50 sealing talismans.

However, the method for becoming a talisman master is the same as that for becoming a leather master, and is part of some kind of inheritance. He did not find it in the market, so he had to give up.

After a few days, news from outside began to spread to Tianyun City.

Pieces of information were delivered to Song Yan.

When the Jin Dynasty moved its capital, the second prince of Wei and the general of the former prince of Zhennan led a surprise attack from Shu and took the opportunity to attack the imperial capital.

The State of Wei was restored. The second prince showed the demeanor of a wise king, and the general was good at commanding the troops.

The King of Wei actually returned, and the Second Prince still succeeded his father.

The capital of Wei seemed to be struck by a demonic disaster, and its people fled in panic.

The imperial capital is under lockdown.

More refugees appeared and fled south in panic.

Some people from the northern martial arts world who have fled here said that demons are now wreaking havoc in the north.

Those demons either transformed into human form and forced themselves on handsome men and women, or simply captured young children and strong men and devoured them in the streets. It was so miserable that it was hard to describe in words. It was simply hell on earth.

The Wei army initially managed and arrested people, but soon for some unknown reason, they all backed down.

Song Yan stayed out of it and watched the news in a safe place.

As time passed, only three months were left until five years.

There was no earth-shattering news coming out of the Puppet Sect, and the sect leader was obviously still alive.

He has to go.
