Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

"Pay the rent once a year and pay it in spiritual stones, or do you want to be a spiritual husband?"

The monk in blue asked again.

"Spirit stone payment."

Chu Chen took out a bag of spiritual stones that he had prepared in advance and handed it to the monk in blue.

There are three hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones in it.

"Let's see, which cave do you want to rent?"

The monk in blue took the spirit stone, swept away his mental power, and felt a little more energetic, with a smile on his face.

He took out a jade slip with a lot of cave information written on it, handed it to Chu Chen, and gave some casual instructions:

"Except for the caves that have been rented out, among the remaining third-class caves, Cave No. 61 and No. 67 have the most spiritual energy."

"Cave No. 61, please."

Chu Chen looked around and randomly selected a cave.

"This is the key to the cave. Remember to pay the rent on time every year. Otherwise, the cave will be forcibly taken back and everything in it will be confiscated."

The monk in blue nodded, took out a jade key from his arms and handed it to Chu Chen, and gave a few more instructions.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

Chu Chen held up his hands again and thanked the monk in blue.

Leave the office.

Following the map in his identity badge, he walked out of the central area where the shop was located and walked a few miles further, finally finding Cave No. B61.

A cave.

Compared with the caves in the Yunwu Mountains, the size is no different, and the layout is reasonable. There are several rooms in it, including bedrooms, study rooms, kitchens, and quiet rooms.

The surrounding caves are also separated by hundreds of feet, so privacy is guaranteed and each other will not be disturbed.

"Chiyanfang City occupies the entire Chiyan Peak, and the area is not small. However, the place where there are really many people is the central area where shops are concentrated. The area where the cave is located pays more attention to the privacy of practice."

Chu Chen was very satisfied with this.

Enter the cave and use the jade key to activate the defensive formation inside the cave.

Yunshui Sect has set up a defensive formation outside each cave. The power of the formation varies depending on the level of the cave.

The defensive formation outside the third-level cave can withstand attacks from ninth-level Qi-training monks.

"Tidy up the cave."

Chu Chen used the cleaning talisman to clean up the entire cave.

Then, some traps were arranged throughout the cave that were difficult to detect.

The purpose is not to cause much harm to the intruder, but to provide an early warning and warn the cave whether someone has invaded.

After doing this, Chu Chen opened the wooden box on his waist, and the white mouse ran out.

The little white mouse stayed in seclusion with him for a long time, fed it with the Essence Pill, and occasionally swallowed a few Spirit Gathering Pills. Until now, its size has more than doubled compared to its original size.

The eyes are small and lively, and the fur is getting shinier and fuller in color. In the sunlight, it can reflect a metallic luster.

There were faint fluctuations similar to mana in his body, which was probably the so-called demon power.

The intensity of this wave is comparable to that of a monk at the fourth level of Qi training.

"Go ahead and find a place to build your own little nest."

Chu Chen patted the white mouse and waved his hand, and a bunch of small wine bottles and porcelain bottles suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Yes, Master."

The little white mouse responded. Since it developed demon power, it can speak human words.

The next moment, it turned into an afterimage and disappeared at a speed that was no worse than that of a sixth-level Qi-training monk.

This may be the racial talent of the little white mouse, its speed is several times faster than that of monks at the same level.

then.

Chu Chen went to the kitchen next door and cooked a pot of spiritual rice.

Ling rice is combined with the sweet spring water in the mountains. Once cooked, the aroma is immediately fragrant.

The entire cave is filled with the unique aroma of Lingmi. The rich aroma makes people salivate instantly, and even the mice are attracted.

Chu Chen couldn't wait to open the lid of the pot, and the spiritual rice became crystal clear, like gems.

Scoop a bowl of steaming rice for yourself and the white mouse, and then taste it.

"It is worthy of being a spiritual food. Although it is not as good as elixirs and elixirs, it is better because it is cheaper. If you take it for a long time, it is no worse than elixirs and elixirs."

After finishing one bowl, Chu Chen scooped up another large bowl of spiritual rice.

Finished eating.

He immediately returned to the quiet room, meditated, practiced the longevity skills, and digested the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual rice.

As soon as he activated the longevity skill, countless spiritual energy swarmed in and merged into his body.

The concentration of spiritual energy far exceeds seven or eight times that of a small spiritual land, coupled with the spiritual energy contained in spiritual power, creating an unprecedented speed of practice.

This speed is much faster than directly absorbing the spiritual energy from low-grade spiritual stones.

"At this speed, coupled with the pills such as the Spirit Gathering Pill and other cultivation-increasing pills, I may be able to break through the eighth level of Qi training in a few years."

Chu Chen's heart was filled with ups and downs, but this was only when he had enough Spirit Gathering Pills and Spirit Rice.

There is not much Spirit Gathering Pill left in him, so he either needs to buy the elixir to refine it, or buy the Spirit Gathering Pill directly.

The former is better because the price is relatively cheap, but it requires renting an alchemy room in the city to make alchemy, which is also expensive.

The latter is more direct, and the direct finished elixir is relatively more expensive.

Either way, it's a big expense.

Besides, there is also the rent of the cave and spiritual rice, which requires a large amount of spiritual stones.

On the first day Chu Chen came to Chiyanfang City, he had already spent four hundred low-grade spiritual stones. If the development continued at this rate, the remaining spiritual stones would not be able to withstand several years of hard work.

He also wanted to buy the sword control method and the flying sword.

"We can't just sit back and have nothing. Tomorrow morning we will go to the market to sell talismans."

Chu Chen decided immediately.

Not all monks are aloof and aloof from the world. Most of the low-level casual cultivators are not much different from ordinary people in the world. They are mediocre and work all day long for spiritual stones.

In other words, if the casual cultivators at the bottom do not work hard to create value for Yunshui Sect, how can the disciples of Yunshui Sect concentrate on their practice and break through the foundation building stage and even the golden elixir stage?

The next day.

Chu Chen took the flying sword talisman, divine power talisman, light body talisman, and concealment talisman that he had practiced in the past, followed the example of a group of casual cultivators, and found an open space to set up a stall in the street market to sell talismans.

"Looking at the quality of the Flying Sword Talisman, it is much worse than the ordinary Flying Sword Talisman."

Soon, customers came to the door.

On Chu Chen’s stall, the flying sword talisman that was most frequently displayed was the one that was refined with true energy in the past.

"Although the quality of my Flying Sword Talisman is a little different, it's also much cheaper. It only costs five spirits per piece."

Chu Chen explained with a smile.

He specifically inquired about the price of the Flying Sword Talisman yesterday. The price of an ordinary Flying Sword Talisman was probably between ten and twenty low-grade spiritual stones.

The flying sword talisman he refined with his true energy was slightly weaker, but the price was also twice as cheap.

"Five spirits and one spirit?"

The customer's eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said: "Bring me five."

When the sun went down, Chu Chen closed the stall with satisfaction.

It’s been a busy day, but it’s been a productive day.

Many casual cultivators can draw low-level talismans such as divine power talismans, light body talismans, and concealment talismans, but no one will buy them.

But the Flying Sword Talisman was quite popular. Because the price was relatively cheap, a hundred Flying Sword Talismans were sold in a whole day, in exchange for 500 low-grade spiritual stones.

Before returning to the cave, he bought a batch of talisman papers that could be used to refine the flying sword talisman, as well as a complete collection of intermediate talismans.
