Changsheng Xiuxian: I can see through everything

Chapter 119: Strange Insects Cultivating Dao (Please Subscribe)

The top-grade golden spear talisman caused a small commotion on the West City Commercial Street.

The Golden Spear Shop is bustling with people, and every day the top-quality Golden Spear Talismans are snapped up by the casual cultivators lining up.

Even though Jinqiangfang has set a purchase limit of only one ticket per person per day.

Through word of mouth, this small shop has become a check-in destination for people with special hobbies.

Jiang Zhengming suggested that Chen Xuan raise the price.

Supply exceeds demand, which means the price is low.

Chen Xuan thought about it and refused.

Hunger marketing helps to build product reputation.

What's more, there is limited room for price increases.

After all, the prices of peers are there.

Cultivate, practice swordsmanship, make talismans, and raise insects.

Chen Xuan seemed to have returned to his youth in a small town in his previous life, devoting himself to improving his skills.

Every ten days, he would preach to the strange insects in front of the Taoist temple.

It is also a way to temper one's own state of mind.

Along the way, he was like a tireless swift, practicing hard.

It is a rare opportunity to have a stable environment, to rest and recuperate, and to look inward.

It is impossible for all seven strange insects to accompany him forever.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are common to humans, let alone monsters and insects!
After a period of preaching, the strange insects' ability to learn the Tao began to show.

The psychic green snake is naturally intelligent and has extraordinary comprehension ability. Every time it listens to the teachings, it seems to have gained some understanding.

The pipa scorpion and the thousand-eyed centipede were particularly focused, chirping with joy from time to time, unable to contain their joy.

The Jade-faced Queen Bee is quite intelligent and always bows with her front limbs when listening to sermons.

The Iron-backed Mantis stood there stupidly, its triangular head turning left and right from time to time, clearly not paying attention.

No one knows where the poisonous flame golden silkworm has hidden.

The heavily armored cricket had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Apart from eating, it has no interest in anything else.

Of the dozen or so soul-devouring demon insects, only two were left.

Chen Xuan just let it go.

Everyone has their own destiny and cannot be forced.

……

On this day, an old Taoist priest came to the Golden Spear Shop.

"Brother Xuan, it's really you!"

The old Taoist Yu Qingsong was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Mr. Xu told me that you came to Lingyun Immortal City, but I didn't believe it!"

As Chen Xuan came to the backyard and sat down, Yu Qingsong took out a black bag from his storage bag.

Inside were the corpses of more than a thousand poisonous insects.

"This is what Master Xu asked me to bring to you. He will find a way to transfer the rest from nearby, which will take some time."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

For Chen Xuan, the corpses of more than a thousand poisonous insects were better than nothing.

The Xu family originally had to supply a quota of poisonous insect corpses for ten years, which came to more than 20,000, enough for him to use for a while.

Yu Qingsong told him that after he got the news of the beast tide attacking the city, he spent all his fortune and caught the last train back to the Lingyun Fairy City Chamber of Commerce.

"Xuan'er, I originally wanted to inform you. But time is urgent and you are in seclusion. On second thought, as a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, you should know about this matter."

"I do know."

Chen Xuan said calmly.

"That's good! After learning that the beast tide had broken into the city, I was worried about you for a long time!"

Then Yu Qingsong started nagging.

The prices in the fairy city are too high, life is hard, and the rent is three hundred spirit stones every year.

It’s also Tianxiang Pavilion, but the monsters here are more powerful and charge higher fees.

In the past three years, he has been to Tianxiang Pavilion only a handful of times.

Chen Xuan listened to his complaints with a smile.

When Yu Qingsong was tired of talking, Chen Xuan asked, "Master Yu, if Xu Anjing and I were to fight to the death, and only one of us could survive, who would you help?"

"of course……"

"Don't be impatient. Think carefully before answering."

Chen Xuan was still smiling: "Tell the truth, don't lie to me."

Yu Qingsong sat there blankly. Looking at the smiling Chen Xuan in front of him, he felt an inexplicable fear.

If Chen Xuan and Xu Anjing were to fight to the death, who would he support?
"Brother Xuan, believe me, I will never stand against you, no matter if it's Xu Anjing or anyone else!"

Yu Qingsong seemed to have made up his mind: "However, I dare not help you. I dare not offend the Xu family of Wanshouling and the fake Dan ancestor."

After saying this, he felt relieved.

Chen Xuan smiled.

Patted Yu Qingsong on the shoulder.

"There are two vacant rooms here. Choose one and move in!"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xuan!"

Yu Qingsong suddenly became energetic and recovered with full health.

A Class A residence, much better than his previous residence, and it can save a considerable amount of rent.

If he lives here for a few more years, he might be able to break through to the late stage of Qi training!
……

A month later, Chen Xuan and Yu Qingsong walked into the West City Auction House.

This was his first time attending an auction.

Everything inside was orderly and everyone was silent. Most people wore masks, restrained their aura, and were well versed in keeping a low profile.

There are very few people like Chen Xuan and Yu Qingsong who are open about their actions.

I found a corner to sit down and watch quietly.

Auction houses are all hosted by the sects and auctions are held once a month.

Most of the auction items are first-level, and there are very few second-level items.

Don’t even think about the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Only at this time did Chen Xuan truly understand the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In fact, it is a spiritual elixir that can break through the levels from Qi training stage to foundation building stage.

There are general types, as well as special types for various attributes such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

The main materials are demon pills and spiritual fruits above the second level, and the auxiliary materials are various second-level spiritual plants.

Collecting materials is not easy, and making pills is even more difficult.

Only large sects have the strength to refine foundation-building pills in batches with good quality.

Most of the sect's foundation-building pills are of medium quality, with a small amount of high quality.

The pills produced by individual alchemists are not only few in number but also of poor quality. It is extremely rare to find a mid-level quality pill.

The vast majority of foundation-building pills circulating on the market are made by individual alchemists and are generally of low quality.

Even so, forget about even thinking about getting a low-grade foundation-building pill without 10,000 spirit stones!
A mid-grade foundation-building pill costs twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones, which is more expensive than he imagined!

For a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, if he works as a servant in a cultivation family, his annual salary is three to five hundred spirit stones, and his savings of thirty years are only enough to buy a low-grade foundation-building pill.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for a Qi-cultivating cultivator to build a foundation for the Tao.

Chen Xuan is now at the eighth level of Qi training and uses a top-grade spirit gathering formation to practice for three hours every day.

According to his estimation, he would reach the ninth level of Qi training in three years and complete Qi training in four years.

The entire late stage of Qi training takes ten years to polish, and the foundation is laid at around thirty years old.

This speed is not inferior to that of the geniuses of the major sects.

It is said that the average age of Jinyang Sect's inner disciples in establishing their foundation is as high as forty-three years old.

This time, Chen Xuan came to the auction just to take a look and had no intention of auctioning any items.

Gain experience and observe prices.

Prepare for future action.

Not long after we sat down, the auction began.

After the auctioneer finished his formal remarks, he began the auction.

The items for auction were varied, including elixirs, magical instruments, techniques, formation flags, spiritual plants, etc., and the starting price was also low, which attracted many cultivators who had attended the meeting to raise their hands and bid, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

There were many things he had only heard of but never seen before.

This auction gave him a lot of knowledge.

He even saw familiar strange insects being auctioned.

Red-eyed green bamboo snake, first-grade mid-grade.

The transaction price was one hundred and sixty spirit stones, which was much more expensive than the market price in the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains.

The auction lasted for three full hours.

At the end, many people were still not satisfied.

Some people even stared at the monks who won the items at the auction, with greedy eyes.

There will inevitably be another bloody storm.
