Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

After changing into the robes that he had bought with a few low-grade spirit stones, Luo Shan checked his storage bag. Good, there were only five low-grade spirit stones left.

If I had known this earlier, I would have given less spirit stones.

Luo Shan thought about it without any psychological burden, completely unaware of how angry Li Ruoyao on the other side was.

The absence of spirit stones is an extremely bad sign for a cultivator. After all, spirit stones are not only a measure of value for cultivators to trade for the items they need, but also an indispensable resource for cultivation.

While thinking about how to get some spirit stones for himself, his steps were flying towards the southeast.

When they reached the edge of the pine mist forest, they saw more and more monks, many of whom entered in groups. These should be Qi-refining monks who came to the pine mist forest to hunt low-level monsters.

Luo San's cultivation level was at the Foundation Establishment stage, so naturally, in the eyes of the Qi Refining cultivators, he was someone they could not afford to offend. Therefore, after realizing that Luo San's cultivation level was higher than theirs, they all took detours to avoid him.

After leaving the pine mist forest, Luo Shan once again set out on the road to Suyue City. This journey took three days. Looking at the city with a flag with the words "Suyue" on it and the entrance to the city with a very long queue, Luo Shan took a deep breath and walked calmly into the queue entering the city.

The queue moved quickly and soon it was Luosan's turn.

"Do you have a monk's token?" The guard in front of Luo San stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

"No!" Luo Shan, who was originally in a happy mood about to enter the city, frowned after hearing these words.

"If you don't have a token, you need to pay three low-grade spirit stones to stay in the city for a month. If you want to get a cultivator token, you only need five low-grade spirit stones, and you can stay in Suyue City for half a year."

The monk guarding the city spoke in a very friendly tone. After explaining to Luo Shan, he said no more.

Hearing that he had to pay spirit stones to enter the city, Luo Shan subconsciously wanted to cover his storage bag, but then he reacted and the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking to himself:

The monks from Dongyue are really arrogant. You have to pay spirit stones to enter the city.

Thinking about the only five low-grade spirit stones left in his storage bag, Luo Shan felt more and more regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have robbed the two siblings who seemed to have considerable wealth.

"These are five low-grade spirit stones."

He tightened his grip on the spirit stone, and finally handed it to the guard.

When the guard at the city gate saw Luo Shan's appearance, he looked at the spirit stone with some confusion. After confirming that it was indeed a low-grade spirit stone, he put it into the storage bag.

When Luo Shan entered the city, the guards were still a little confused. Aren't they just five low-grade spirit stones? This was a bit expensive for a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. But the man just now was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, so why did he look so painful?

After entering the city, the first thing you see is a long street with shops on both sides selling all kinds of things, and there are also scattered stalls on the street.

He found a shop that looked pleasing to the eye and walked in. There was a middle-aged man sitting at the counter. Luo Shan took a look and saw that he was a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Judging from his appearance, he was around fifty years old.

He was wearing a navy blue robe. When he noticed Luo San's presence, he quickly stood up and came over.

"Senior, I am the owner of this store, my last name is Li."

The shopkeeper was smiling and looked Luo Shan up and down. His expression froze, and he was a little unsure about the situation of the female cultivator who came in.

Although she has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the robes she wears are of the lowest grade. Only cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining would wear such robes. However, the female cultivator in front of him is indeed at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Could it be that this female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage likes to keep a low profile?

Just as he was thinking about it, Shopkeeper Li heard Luo Shan speak:

"Does your shop accept magic weapons, talismans, and some pills?" Although there were no snacks in Luoshan's storage bag, he still "obtained" a lot of other people's storage bags in the Donglin Secret Realm. As for spirit stones, they were pitifully few.

But it is understandable. Who would bring so many spirit stones into the secret realm? Of course, they are going to be converted into talismans, magic weapons, pills and other life-saving items.

It's impossible that I have to carry a storage bag of spirit stones into the secret realm to find a cave to absorb them for cultivation, right?

"Senior, are you selling something?" Shopkeeper Li was stunned, but he quickly reacted and continued to smile:

"Of course I will accept them, but my shop is not short of low-level elixirs and talismans at the moment. If you have any high-level talismans, my shop is willing to buy them with sincerity."

Luo Shan raised his eyebrows and took out a stack of talismans from his storage bag, followed by a few white jade bottles, a flying sword and several strangely shaped magic weapons.

Shopkeeper Li moved his eyes away from the stack of talismans and looked fixedly at the magic weapons, frowning.

Of the seven magic weapons, except for the flying sword and an earth-based magic weapon emitting a yellow aura, the remaining five all carry demonic energy.

"This is a magic weapon used by the devil cultivators." Shopkeeper Li looked a little embarrassed. This is Dongyue, not the Demon Realm. The magic weapon used by the devil cultivators has to be processed before they can be sold.

"Yes, take a look and tell me how much you are willing to pay for it." Luo Shan didn't have a single spirit stone now. If he didn't find a way to get some spirit stones, he might not even be able to afford to stay in the inn tonight.

"Can I take a look first?" Shopkeeper Li thought to himself and did not refuse the business.

Seeing Luo Shan nod, he walked forward a few steps, looked at the stack of talismans, opened the pill bottles one by one and smelled them, then nodded, pointed at the talismans and pills and said:

"There are a total of thirty second-level talismans here, twenty of low-grade, eight of medium-grade, and two of high-grade. Our store is willing to purchase them at the price of five low-grade spirit stones for one second-level low-grade talisman, ten low-grade spirit stones for one medium-grade talisman, and twenty-five low-grade spirit stones for one high-grade talisman."

As Shopkeeper Li said this, he looked at Luo Shan's face, and seeing that he had no expression, he quickly said:

"Don't worry, this price is a fair purchase price in the market. Our shop has been operating in Suyue City for a hundred years. It is also a time-honored shop. We will never cheat our customers."

When Luo Shan heard this, he glanced at Shopkeeper Li, and finally nodded with a cold face: "Okay."

"Okay" means that he accepts the price. Shopkeeper Li continued to smile:

"The remaining eight bottles of elixirs are all common second-grade healing elixirs, all of which are mid-grade. They cost thirty-five low-grade spirit stones per bottle. What do you think?"

"Can!"

Luo Shan calculated that these talismans and pills alone amounted to five hundred pairs of low-grade spirit stones, which was a sum of spirit stones that could be temporarily consumed.

"As for these seven magic weapons..." Shopkeeper Li thought about it and said:

"This flying sword is a low-grade magical weapon, and the manufacturing method is relatively simple. Fortunately, it is made of red iron. Our store is willing to purchase it for eighty low-grade spirit stones."

"Although this defensive seal magic weapon is a mid-grade magic weapon used in the foundation-building period, it has some damage. Our store can only buy it for 120 low-grade spirit stones. As for the other five magic weapons used by demon cultivators, I can only offer 100 low-grade spirit stones."

Shopkeeper Li continued to explain:

"This seal still needs to be repaired. We also need to use special methods to remove the evil spirits from the other five magic weapons used by the magic cultivators. Otherwise, they may not be able to be sold in Dongyue. Therefore, the price is slightly lower than that of ordinary mid-grade magic weapons."

"Senior, are you dissatisfied with the price?"

Shopkeeper Li made every effort to show his kindness to Luo Shan.

Luo Shan thought about it carefully. She had no need for these things anyway. She also kept some consumables such as talismans and elixirs. She wouldn't feel bad about selling them all.

After all, strictly speaking, these things were all obtained by her from the monks who died at her hands.

"can."

"Okay, these are 1,410 low-grade spirit stones, keep them."

Shopkeeper Li presented the storage bag containing spirit stones with a smile on his face.

Luo Shan took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, counted the numbers lightly, and when he found no difference, he turned around and left the store.

After finishing this business, Shopkeeper Li turned his head to look at the servant not far away and called him over:

"Put these things in the backyard, and when Manager Li comes, give them to him."

As he spoke, he put the damaged square seal and five magic weapons emitting demonic energy into a storage bag and handed it over.

"Okay, shopkeeper."

The servant lowered his head, respectfully took the storage bag, turned around and quickly walked towards the backyard.

A male cultivator who had just been received by the servant not far away had flickering eyes. He looked in the direction where Luo Shan left and left the shop without a trace.

Luo Shan walked out of the shop and went to the nearest inn which looked quite lively. As soon as he stepped in, he heard a striking knocking sound in the lobby of the inn.

"It is said that in the Chenyuan Valley of the Donglin Secret Realm, the geniuses of the Li and Song clans, together with hundreds of independent cultivators, fought fiercely to snatch the treasure, but they did not want to let a female cultivator named Ling Wanran from the Qingyun Sect, who was in the early stage of foundation building, get it."

"Speaking of the female cultivator from Qingyun Sect, you all guessed correctly that she was the one who announced three days ago that she would leave the sect and become a casual cultivator."

"This girl has dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, and has a good talent. Now she is seventeen, and she is already in the early stage of foundation building. It is said that on that day in the Valley of Injustice, this girl snatched the treasure from the hands of the geniuses of the Li and Song clans with one hand."

"………" Luo Shan, who was about to go to the front desk to ask for a room, paused, walked to the seat where a Qi-refining cultivator had just left, and sat down.

Perhaps because the storyteller was too exciting, the lobby of the inn was filled with people. The place where Luo Shan was sitting at the moment was originally occupied by a Qi-refining cultivator. When the cultivator saw Luo Shan's eyes sweeping over him, he tactfully moved aside.

Luo Shan said nothing. After sitting down, he stared at the storyteller intently, just like the monks in the lobby.

“Speaking of the Donglin Secret Realm, this time, apart from the Qingyun Sect, no, it should be called the Fairy Ling who is a casual cultivator, this time, apart from Fairy Ling who stole the limelight, there are Song Guili and Gu Qingcheng from the righteous Wuji Sect, as well as Su Jue and Bai Yue. Not to mention Song Guili and other famous geniuses on the Tianjiao List, even Gu Qingcheng has a rare ice spirit root and is the last disciple of Wuji Sect's Wuhen Sword Master. Now that he has established his foundation and has comprehended the sword intent, he is even better than Wuhen Sword Master back then.”
