Living in the world of cultivation

Half a year later, Shaoyang Market.

Although it was early spring, the weather was still a little chilly.

Su Fan, wearing a half-worn grey cotton gown, sat in front of a roadside stall, holding an ancient book and reading it with great interest.

"Xiao Fan, business is good today."

Hearing the words of the old man next to him, Su Fan put down the book and laughed, "Thanks to you, it's okay..."

"It's still your Fu Master. With this skill, you can expect a great career."

Su Fan smiled, did not respond, picked up the book and continued to read.

The old guy next to him is a chatterbox. If you start talking, he will never stop.

Compared with a few months ago, his image is completely different, even the most familiar people can't recognize him.

As a physical cultivator, changing his body shape and appearance is simple.

Today's Shaoyang Market has long been different.

The last time the demon cultivators invaded, the strength of the Shaoyang Sect was greatly damaged, and the foundation-building ancestor was also injured in Qin.

After the invasion of the demon cultivators, the Qingxuan Sect of Qin State took over the management of the market on the grounds that Shaoyangfang was important.

Shaoyangfang also became a transportation hub and was the only place where Chu could dock its flying boats during the war.

Every few days, a flying boat would come to the market to pick up and drop off personnel and cultivation resources and transport them to the Qin war zone.

Individual cultivators could also take a flying boat to other secular countries in Yongzhou, but the price was three medium-grade spirit stones.

With the docking of the flying boat, more and more people came to Shaoyangfang.

Qingxuan Sect rebuilt Shaoyangfang, expanding its area by nearly one-fold, strengthened the market formation, and sent a foundation-building cultivator to sit in charge for a long time.

A large piece of open space was specially opened up to centrally manage the scattered stalls in the market.

Now that the war is over, Qingxuan Sect has no intention of withdrawing from the market.

Facing the Jindan Sect, the Shaoyang Sect did not dare to say a word, and simply closed the mountain gate and became a turtle.

After the last catastrophe, many individual cultivators around the market died.

In addition, at least half of the independent cultivators who went to Qin to participate in the war were lost, and the independent cultivators in Shaoyangfang were reduced by 30%.

But after a few days, independent cultivators from other places poured into Shaoyangfang.

The independent cultivators around the market not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

Su Fan also took the opportunity to change a new identity and became a new talisman master who settled in Shaoyangfang. He would set up a stall in the market every few days to sell talismans.

The name had been thought of long ago, it was called Fan Su.

In addition, Su Fan changed his appearance again, rented two houses nearby, and often appeared in the market in rotation with several identities.

It took more than two months to deal with the magic tools, storage bags, and unused elixirs in his hands in batches in the market.

It was not until last month that the immortal and demon disputes in Qin came to an end.

It is said that the final stage of the war was extremely tragic.

The war has spread to several surrounding states, and the Demon Sect in Ningzhou, as well as the Sword Sect in Ganzhou and Lanzhou, have all participated.

Fortunately, several major immortal and demon sects in the Western Wilderness intervened, and the situation finally calmed down.

In recent days, a large number of immortal sect cultivators and independent cultivators from all over the country have returned from Qin State, and many of them will rest in Shaoyangfang for a few days.

Especially independent cultivators, they simply set up stalls here to deal with various resources in their hands and exchange them for spiritual stones as soon as possible.

There are also independent cultivators who survived the night when the demon cultivators broke through Shaoyangfang, and they have gained some benefits to some extent.

Although the market was plundered by the demon cultivators, how could they plunder it completely in a hurry.

These independent cultivators also want to take this opportunity to sell what they have gained.

In the past few days, Shaoyangfang has been unprecedentedly prosperous, whether it is a shop or an independent market, there are crowds of people everywhere.

However, with the end of the war, the prices of various resources have begun to fall sharply.

Those independent cultivators who can survive the immortal and demon war can save a lot of good things.

The first thing they do when they come back is to exchange these things for spiritual stones.

Especially talismans and magic tools, the prices have been ridiculously low.

Some things even dropped by more than half compared to before the war, but still no one was interested.

Su Fan's business was also greatly affected.

The price of talismans was ridiculously low.

Su Fan didn't rely on selling talismans to make spiritual stones anyway, so he simply cut the price by more than half.

Although the profit was less, the sales volume increased, so he sold a lot.

Near the evening, Su Fan got up, packed up his things, and left the market.

He carried a tattered bag on his back, staggered with his thin body hunched over.

His face was sallow and he looked sick.

The white cotton robe on his body was obviously a few sizes larger and looked loose.

No one could have imagined that the loose cotton robe covered the three storage bags hanging around his waist.

What's even more bizarre is that this guy actually wore a top-grade robe as an inner lining.

Su Fan's current residence is not far from the market, only more than two miles away.

It used to be the residence of a late-stage Qi training cultivator, but unfortunately that senior died in Qin State.

He had the opportunity to rent it and made it his new home.

Su Fan walked into an alley and exchanged a few polite words with several neighbors.

Then he came to a yard, unlocked the door and entered the house.

The new home not only has a good location, but also has a large area. The yard in front of the house alone is nearly 100 square meters.

The yard is paved with large pieces of green slabs, arranged with stone tables and stone chairs, and a flowerbed of more than 20 square meters is reserved.

Su Fan has already thought about planting various vegetables here in the future.

What kind of flowers can be planted on such a good piece of land? Can they be eaten?

When you enter the house, you will see a hall, with a talisman making room and a practice room on both sides, and a bedroom further inside. The kitchen and storage room are located at the back of the hall.

According to his own needs, Su Fan rearranged it.

The furnishings in the house are simple, with blue bricks all over the hall and a few wooden furniture, including an eight-immortal table, a matching coffee table, and a long desk.

There is a rosewood wooden table by the window, and two pearwood chairs leaning on both sides.

There are two rows of bookshelves in the talisman making room, and a rosewood talisman making table.

The animal skin tablecloth is spread on the table, and a set of fine talisman making tools is placed on it.

Next to the table, there is also a high-legged table with a brass incense burner, which is filled with a light and unique fragrance, which makes people calm and concentrate.

The practice room is empty, except for a futon placed in the middle of the house and a small incense burner next to it.

Under the house, there is a basement of more than 100 square meters. Several night-shining stones embedded in the wall make the basement as bright as day.

This is where the senior used to practice magic and magic tools.

The walls and the ground around it have been repeatedly reinforced with "fossil talismans", and there are several black ironwood targets in the innermost part.

The senior has lived here for decades, and the house is very well maintained.

Of course, the rent of this house is not cheap.

Ten spirit stones per month, and the rent must be paid for a full year each time.

Encountering such a good house, Su Fan rented it without thinking.

Fortunately, he rented it early, and it was the most depressed time in the market, and there were many vacant houses.

If he waited for a while, this house might not fall into his hands.

In the past six months, Su Fan has lived a very fulfilling life.

Except for setting up a stall in the market for a few days every month, the rest of the time is spent practicing exercises and practicing magic.

Su Fan came to the practice room and sat cross-legged on the futon.

He opened the panel. After several months of practice, the data in all aspects have changed greatly.

First is the realm of cultivation. A few days ago, the third level of Qi training was completed.

Due to taking the Yellow Spirit Pill, the progress of the third level of Qi training on the panel is nearly doubled, and it can increase by about 15 points every month.

In the past few days, the bottleneck has been loosened a little, and the breakthrough is just a matter of the next few days.

In addition, he now takes some time out every day to practice the "Ghost Demon Forging God Technique".

Because of the assistance of the "Soul Refining Pill", he quickly broke through to the second level. As the pills were exhausted, the speed slowed down.

The increase in spiritual consciousness was not much, but the soul was purer and more condensed.

He also ate all the bottles of "Qi and Blood Pills". Not only did his strength increase a lot, but his physical strength also increased.

As for how much he increased, I don't know, but the proficiency of "Horizontal Training Body Forging Skill" has increased by dozens of points.

The two pills are indeed extraordinary, but unfortunately they are gone.

The most annoying thing is that even if you have spirit stones, you can't buy them on the market.

Xingyiquan and Jiuji Lianhuanzhan have been brushed to the fine point, and finally ushered in a qualitative change.

Not only has the power increased greatly, each move is extraordinary, and there are more changes.

As for what kind of changes, Su Fan can't say.

The new spells "Void Spirit Method" and "Object Control Technique" have been added, and now they have been brushed to a small success.

As for the souls needed for the practice of "Xu Ling Fa", it is also very simple.

Su Fan deliberately created several opportunities for the bandits, and several desperate men were extracted by him.

And he practiced "controlling objects" just to add some different means of attack in the future battles.

Su Fan carefully studied "Heavenly Corpse Secret Collection" and specially learned "corpse control" and "corpse control" skills.

"Corpse control" is known without explanation.

"Corpse control" is a very magical spell.

You can place a wisp of your own consciousness in the body of a zombie, and when controlling a zombie, it is as easy as moving your arms.

After half a year of accumulation, Su Fan's experience in making talismans has greatly increased, and he can already make six kinds of talismans.

Although they are all low-quality auxiliary talismans, they are all necessary talismans for casual cultivators in the wild, and they are the best-selling ones.

And the success rate is more than 50%, especially the "Evil-Repelling Talisman" has reached 80%.

Because he received the talisman-making inheritance of Shuiyun Sect, the talismans he made are better than most wild casual cultivators.

Moreover, he set up a stall to sell talismans in the market, not to make spirit stones, and the price of talismans was not high.

Therefore, the talismans made by Su Fan are very popular among casual cultivators in the market.

Although he doesn't make much, the profit every month is about a dozen spirit stones.

For a casual cultivator, it is already very awesome.

The two magical powers of "Thunder Eyes" and "Thunder Ghost Step" have both entered the realm of great success.

Especially "Thunder Ghost Step", he attaches great importance to it and spends a lot of time practicing it.

This magical power is absolutely a magical skill for a physical cultivator.

When fighting, if you use the subtle "light body technique", your combat effectiveness will increase exponentially.
