Chapter 44.
The recruitment of the three outer door halls, Wang Dust did not want to go.
However, he still had to go to the General Hall.
He first took his identity nameplate to the Hall of Honors and received his own battle merit reward.
Five hundred Hoon points.
Then he headed to the Law Transmission Hall.
There were quite a lot of people coming to the Book Depository to exchange their merit points today, and Wang Chen stood in a very long line before he got his turn.
“Senior.”
He respectfully handed the nameplate to the Law Transmission Elder, “I would like to exchange a recluse technique that suits me.”
The Dharma Transmission Elder received the nameplate, and a flash of essence flashed in his eyes.
“Fourth level of qi cultivation, five hundred hun points.”
Elder Law Transmission nodded and said, “You exchanged the follow-up technique of the Five Elements Technique last time, so the most suitable one is of course the Five Elements Transportation Technique, but your current cultivation level is too low to practice it.”
Regardless of whether they were inner or outer disciples, they were all equipped with a nameplate that represented their identity.
This nameplate was extremely important, with the owner’s divine soul breath sealed inside, and thus could not be forged and imitated.
It functioned much like the electronic cards commonly used by Wang Chen in his previous life, and could be used to store and pay for Hoon points, as well as record personal information, making it a great invention in the Immortal Cultivation World.
So as long as Elder Transmission was holding the card in his hand, he would be able to understand Wang Chen’s basic situation.
Wang Dust saluted once again, “I still ask for Elder’s guidance.”
Elder Dharma Transmission thought for a moment, “If what you need is an escape spell, then I recommend Shadowless Divine Walking, three hundred and fifty Hoon Points, no problem cultivating it until you reach the Great Circle of Qi Practicing.”
“Thank you senior for your guidance!”
Wang Chen didn’t hesitate, “Disciple would also like to exchange for the Breath Convergence Technique.”
The Breath Convergence Technique, as the name suggests, is a spell that converges the breath, and is mainly used when one needs to sneak around and hide oneself.
In addition, after enchanting the Breath Convergence Technique, it would be difficult for others to see the true cultivation level.
It just restrains the Spiritual Eyesight Technique.
Of course the restraint is mutual, the effect of the spell often depends on the strength of the cultivator, as well as the skill level!
As a small cultivator at the fourth level of Qi cultivation, Wang Chen had no need to hide his cultivation for the time being.
However, Shadowless Divine Walking plus Concealed Breath Technique was undoubtedly an excellent combination skill for escaping!
Change for change!
The Breath Convergence Technique could be exchanged for as little as thirty HON points, so after paying three hundred and eighty HON points, Wang Chuan had two more spells with sealing incantations in his sea of consciousness.
The remaining one hundred and twenty hunter points were naturally saved for a rainy day!
After leaving the Outer Sect Main Hall, Wang Chen ran to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce again.
This time, he looked for Boss Jin, whom he had dealt with before.
“Hello, fellow Daoist.”
Shopkeeper Jin’s memory was obviously extremely good, and when he saw Wang Chuan, he asked with a smile, “How is the cultivation of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Positive Technique going?”
“Not bad.”
Wang Dust didn’t talk nonsense with him and directly touched out the Yin Qi Bead, “Please estimate the price.”
“Huh?”
Boss Jin was surprised, “This Yin Qi Bead is not bad.”
He took the crystal bead and carefully examined it, then murmured, “How about four hundred lower spirits?”
“Forget it.”
Wang Dust frowned, revealing a displeased look, “I’ll go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion and ask.”
In fact, Wang Dust had no idea how many spirit stones this Yin Qi Bead was worth, and it was impossible for the record about the Yin Qi Bead inside the Evil Sneak Speak to be labeled with a specific price.
However, he was very clear about the truth that there was no business without treachery.
The reputation of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was certainly very good, but if one thought that their family was the real deal, that would be too naive!
“Don’t!”
Shopkeeper Jin obviously didn’t want to miss out on this deal: “Then what’s your price?”
Wang Chen: “Eight hundred.”
The gold shopkeeper immediately returned the Yin Qi beads to him, “You’d better go to the Wanbao Pavilion and ask first!”
“Good.”
Wang Chen took the crystal bead back into his storage bag and patted his ass in preparation to leave.
A sale above four hundred lower spirits was already qualified to step over the threshold of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Even if the opening price there was low, it didn’t matter, Wang Chen could come back and continue bargaining.
As for whether or not this would lose face ……
Face can be worth a few spirit stones ah!
“Five hundred!”
Seeing that Wang Chen was really going to leave, the gold shopkeeper stomped his foot and took the initiative to raise the price.
He was afraid that Wang Chuan was young and full of pride, and would rather bid at a low price in the Wanbao Pavilion than eat the grass that comes back to him.
That would be a real miss.
As a result, Wang Dust walked faster!
But in the end, Wang Chen still didn’t make it out of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
Shopkeeper Jin opened a price of six hundred and eighty lower spirits and managed to retain his footsteps.
Wang Chen felt that he had reached the other party’s bottom line.
After completing the transaction, Shopkeeper Jin smiled bitterly and said, “Fellow Daoist, I can guarantee that you will never be able to ask for this price when you go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”
The reason for the premium was that recently, the chamber’s senior management had requested the following branches to purchase a large amount of various precious spirit materials.
Among them were the Yin Qi Beads.
He, the shopkeeper, also had a KPI performance appraisal!
It was just that these were not enough for outsiders to know.
And Wang Chen didn’t take all the spirit stones, he purchased thirty bottles of Vajra Ghee from Shopkeeper Jin.
In one go, there were three hundred less spirits.
The Vajra Ghee was really good stuff, and it had a marvelous effect in supplementing the Body Refining Technique.
Wang Chen had practiced the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Proper Technique so far, and had yet to break through the first layer of the Copper Skin Realm, and his Physique had already added 2 points.
Currently 6 points.
His physique and physique all greatly exceeded when he had just crossed over!
Mainly, this thing was a consumable item, and the more he used it, the more addictive it became.
So he took advantage of the fact that he still had plenty of money on hand to get a few more bottles, so that he wouldn’t have to go through a hard time if he went off the grid.
“It’s still at this price.”
Shopkeeper Jin said to Wang Dust, “But if you come back next time, I guess the price will go up.”
Wang Dust’s heart stirred, and he didn’t say that he would buy more, saying goodbye and leaving with a few polite words.
He turned around in Yunshan City, only to find that the price of white corn had actually risen to eight crushed spirits a catty.
Compared to the past, it had doubled!
Knowing that the new rice would be harvested soon, normally at this time the price of stale rice would fall slightly, there was no reason for a big price increase in turn.
And even though the price of rice had risen a lot, there was still an endless stream of people coming to the Immortal Grain Shop to buy spirit rice.
Some cultivators cursed and the atmosphere was quite tense.
Wang Chen thought about it and didn’t join the ranks of the grain buyers.
He had already bought a thousand pounds of spiritual rice last time, and the harvest of his family’s ten acres of spiritual fields hadn’t gone wrong.
So even though he knew that the price of rice might rise again.
Wang Chen did not have the idea of hoarding.
Compared to spiritual rice, he needs demonic beast meat to fulfill his body refining needs.
In the end, Wang Chen bought 500 pounds of demonic beast meat at the butcher store, and also got some commonly used talismans to fill his arsenal.
The price of demon beast meat had also increased.
However, the range was not as large as that of spiritual rice.
Instead, it seemed affordable.
The talismans purchased were mainly Evil Warding Talismans, Past Life Talismans, and Dust and Smoke Talismans.
All of them were used in actual combat with good results.
This additional expense also greatly strengthened Wang Chen’s determination to master the art of talisman making.
Whether he could earn spirit stones or not was not important, what mattered was that homemade talismans could save spirit stones!
In addition, he bought two packs of Cloud Mist Spirit Tea.
Wang Chuan planned to visit the Li Chief again to ask for some information – Old Master Sun loved tea.
On the way back, Wang Dust heard mournful cries coming from a few roadside homes.
There were also white streamers representing funerals hanging under the eaves of peasant houses.
This scene made one’s heart feel heavy.
