Chapter 28 – Scattered Cultivation Gathering!

Chapter 28 – Scattered Gatherings!

Lu Changsheng walked into the path.

There was a vast expanse ahead, as if there was no end in sight.

But after walking a hundred meters or so, it was as if he had passed through a layer of lake, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

It becomes a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides, lush and full of flowers and plants of all colors.

The only thing that was behind himself where he had just come in was a pathway that was blocked by the mists.

The valley was not very large, covering about thirty or forty acres.

On all sides were built a loft of ancient houses, quite a bit of a paradise.

In the central area of the valley, at this time, many people were as if they were secular vendors, neatly and orderly setting up small goods stalls, ground stalls, and the surrounding crowd was surging.

The scene in front of him made Lu Changsheng slightly dazed, remembering the rural market in his previous life, the open-air farmer’s market.

If he didn’t know that this was a gathering place for loose cultivators and that it was basically filled with Immortal Cultivators, he would have believed it if he had said that this was a secular rush.

“There should be a spirit vein beneath this valley.”

“But it should be an unclassified spirit vein, and its aura is much worse than that of the Green Bamboo Villa.”

Lu Changsheng said in his heart as he walked towards the central area where the stalls were set up.

The cultivators here are dressed differently.

There are Confucians, monks, Taoists, chivalrous men.

There were also those with long swords and daggers on their hips, a giant gourd on their backs, spirit animals and whatnot.

Of course, there were also quite a few like Lu Changsheng, who had a cloak shrouding his entire person.

“Top quality healing elixir, martial arts elixir at a cheap price!”

“One hundred years of ginseng, one hundred years of He Shou Wu, all for only one spirit stone!”

“One auger tendon, to the highest bidder!”

“The legacy technique left behind by the True God of Transformation, the Nine Turns Golden Body Technique, for only ten spirit stones!”

“A strange stone found in the ancient secret realm, harboring strange treasures inside, don’t miss it if you walk by!”

There was a lot of hustle and bustle as people came and went from the stalls and many others yelled and hollered.

Lu Changsheng could not help but shake his head when he saw that some of the stalls still had pots and pans, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, and other miscellaneous things.

It seemed that this loose assembly was a little worse than one would have thought.

Or rather, this is what the real bottom life in the Immortal Cultivation World looks like.

Same as the average person struggling at the bottom of the world.

The only difference is that one is in the secular world and the other is in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Like the Qingzhu Lu Family, even if it is worse, it still has a Foundation Establishment Ancestor sitting in the town, and has its own Spiritual Vein blessed land.

After strolling around for a while, Lu Changsheng’s heart also had a number in mind for this trade fair.

These stalls sell a variety of things, but most of them are relatively cheap and inexpensive items or fakes.

Only a small number of them were selling items of things that cultivators could use.

A few are also stores at the lofts of the neighboring houses.

The stuff sold inside is much more formal and high-end.

Given the size of this scattered cultivator stronghold, if he wanted to be here and sell all of the nearly 1,000 talismans he had on him, it was simply impossible.

If he dared to do so, he was afraid that it would be very difficult to get out of the Ox-Head Mountain.

The sale part is not a big problem though.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng followed suit and found an empty seat, taking out a thick pile of talismans from the storage bag in his arms and placing them in front of him.

On the wooden board erected next to it, it was written that first-order lower-grade talismans were 1~2 spirit stones, buy five and get one free.

Through his observation just now, Lu Changsheng didn’t see a few selling first-order mid-grade talismans.

So after thinking about it, he didn’t take out the first-order mid-grade talisman, otherwise it would be a bit conspicuous.

As for the price, things like magic weapons, pills, and talismans are hard currency everywhere, and their prices generally don’t fluctuate much.

In order to sell faster, Lu Changsheng still made a buy five get one free.

“Fellow Daoist, this buy five get one free, is the free one randomly selected?”

Within moments, someone came forward to check the talisman and asked questions out loud.

“If you buy five for two spirit stones, you can choose whatever you want, otherwise you can only choose from one spirit stone over here.”

Lu Changsheng opened his mouth, and a low, hoarse voice emanated from his black robe.

“OK.”

Immediately, the cultivator took six talismans worth two spirit stones and handed ten spirit stones to Lu Changsheng.

With the opening of the first business, one after another people came to buy talismans.

Talismans were relative bestsellers among cultivators, and basically every person would carry a few for defense.

At this time, buy five get one free, plus Lu Changsheng’s talisman, even if a layman looked at the outline of the talisman lines on it, he could see that the quality was good.

In an hour or so, the nearly one hundred talismans that Lu Changsheng had taken out were sold out.

A total of one hundred and thirty-three spirit stones were harvested.

“It’s true that having a trade is a moneymaker.”

Lu Changsheng was very satisfied and pleased with this first bucket of income.

The cost price of a hundred talismans was almost twenty-two spirit stones.

But now it’s being sold by itself for six times the price.

If he was selling first-order mid-grade talismans, at the price of 3 to 5 spirit stones a piece for a mid-grade talisman, the profit could still be doubled.

After all, with ordinary talisman-making materials, Lu Changsheng’s success rate for drawing first-order mid-grade talismans was also one hundred percent!

This was also Lu Changsheng’s confidence that he could gain a foothold in this world even after leaving the Lu Family.

After selling these talismans, Lu Changsheng did not continue to take out talismans for sale.

Because other people selling talismans, are ten or so, brace for a few dozen, selling nearly a hundred by yourself is already exaggerated.

If you re-sell it, there’s a big chance it will be targeted, so it’s good to be careful.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng took the spirit stones that were still warm and started spending.

In one of the stores, Lu Changsheng saw that there were high-grade talisman paper and high-grade spirit ink for sale.

But the quality is all average, if not a little poor.

Talisman-making materials are categorized into ordinary, advanced, and extreme.

However, depending on the raw materials, manufacturing process, there are good and bad.

This store’s just not very good.

But there wasn’t much of a choice, and Lu Changsheng inquired about the price.

Talisman paper is five spirit stones for a pile of ten, and spirit ink is five spirit stones for a box.

It’s five times as much as ordinary rune paper spirit ink.

It’s also a normal price.

If one were to buy this kind of high-grade material and use it to draw first-order mid-grade talismans, there would be little price profit to be made.

But for Lu Changsheng, who was able to draw first-order upper-grade talismans, it was still earning anyhow.

Immediately, Lu Changsheng made a counter-offer and spent sixty-six spirit stones to buy all twelve piles of high-grade talisman paper and three boxes of spirit ink that were the only ones in the store.

He continued to look around and didn’t see any Extreme Grade Talisman Paper or Extreme Grade Spirit Ink for sale.

That’s normal.

The materials used to draw extremely high-grade talismans were also somewhat high-end for this kind of loose cultivation assembly.

In the course of wandering around, Lu Changsheng saw a stall selling books on Immortal Cultivation.

Various cultivation of immortals, travelogues, and handwritten journals made him feel very interesting, and he spent one spirit stone to buy ten books.

And then, he saw that there were five elemental spiritual materials for sale.

After Lu Changsheng walked through a few stall stores, he bought all the five elemental spiritual materials he needed and went back to use them to cultivate the Immortal Stance Technique.

These materials were all first-order mid-grade spirit materials, not too expensive or cheap, and cost a total of fifty-nine spirit stones.

The spirit stones he had just earned were almost spent, and Lu Changsheng didn’t leave.

Continued shopping to see if there were any better charm pens for sale.

The talisman pen he was currently using was the Golden Hair Talisman Pen given by the Lu Family.

It belonged to the very best of ordinary talisman pens, but it had not yet reached the point of being a magic weapon.

Although it could be used to draw first-order upper-grade talismans, it was ultimately inferior.

After strolling around and not seeing a favorable talisman pen, Lu Changsheng could only forget about it.

Thinking that he still has to make a trip to the Red Whale Gang to look for Knight Fei Yu, trouble the Red Whale Gang to take care of his family, and how he has to carry something to the door.

Lu Changsheng bought a few more bottles of mundane pills at a stall.

These mundane pills were very cheap, and were unranked pills made by alchemy apprentices.

The price was about the same as the basic talisman, one spirit stone for two bottles.

Lu Changsheng spent two spirit stones on five bottles and felt that it was about time, so he didn’t continue to loiter.

Come to the trail you came in on and leave the valley directly.

After leaving the valley, Lu Changsheng saw that no one was there before he put the things he was carrying in his hands into his storage bag.

Then out of a mindset of being careful of everything, he took out a lightness talisman from his storage pouch and used it on himself.

With a slight point of his toes, the whole person was as light as a swallow and flew down the mountain.

However.

Just a moment after Lu Changsheng had left, three silhouettes walked out of the valley.

“This kid’s talismans are all very superb, obviously from the hands of a high-level talisman master.”

“But this kid only has the third level of Qi Refining cultivation, and he comes to this kind of place to trade and is still so careful, he must be a loose cultivator who has gotten lucky, and there are still good things on his body!”

The three of them looked greedily and sinisterly in the direction Lu Changsheng had left, and executed the Wind Sentry Technique to quickly run away.
