The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Ning Ping, the pills here are so cheap, do you want to take a look?" Sure enough, after a while, Shen Qingyao was attracted by the low price of pills here, which is also a major reason why the night market attracts monks.

Ning Ping smiled slightly, and used this time to master the sound transmission technique to quietly send a message to Shen Qingyao: "They are all fakes, don't bother."

Shen Qingyao was disappointed when she heard it.

During this period of time, he used his spare time to basically comprehend the "Five Elements Techniques" and then gave it to Shen Qingyao to practice. As a result, there are more methods, especially the fireball technique, which is simply a weapon for killing people.

While walking, Ning Ping suddenly stopped and stared at a stall not far away. It seemed that something was calling him. He thought it was an illusion before, but after repeated confirmation, he locked the target. It turned out that it was not a call, but a strange soul fluctuation.

The source was an inconspicuous, even a little broken jade slip on a street stall. After careful observation, it was found that there was nothing special about it, and it could even be said that it was not at all. If it were not for his strong soul sensing ability, he might not have found it at all.

Ning Ping deliberately swept his eyes over the other items sold on the street stall. It turned out that the other items were mainly some talismans and some books on talisman making.

"Sister Qing, didn't you say that your soul power is good? There are books on talismans over there. Let's go and have a look." Ning Ping found an excuse casually and pulled Shen Qingyao to the street stall.

The stall owner was a smart-looking man. When he saw the two of them coming, he greeted them warmly.

"You two, just take a look. It's okay if you don't buy."

Ning Ping picked up a copy of "Talisman Making Essentials" and flipped through it casually, while his spiritual consciousness went deep into the broken jade slip, but then he found that it was empty.

Unwilling to give up, he carefully read it for a long time, and finally felt that there was something else in the broken jade slip. A certain subtle part seemed to be blocked by something, making it impossible to explore the hidden content.

"How is it, little brother, the importance of talismans is beyond words. If you buy this book and study it carefully, you can make a lot of spiritual stones in the future."

The stall owner talked nonsense, but the handwriting inside was also neat. After careful reading, it was found that the content was not randomly written.

"Ning Ping, many of the talismans in it are so magical." Ning Ping turned his head and saw that Shen Qingyao was holding a book "Talisman Collection" in her hand, and her eyes were shining.

"Boss, how much are these two books?" Seeing that Shen Qingyao liked it, Ning Ping asked with a thought in his heart.

"These two books are 100 spiritual stones, what do you think." Seeing the two people's looks, especially the other woman liked it, the stall owner started to think about it.

"Sister, let's go. The price at the Merchant Alliance is much cheaper." Ning Ping's voice became softer as she spoke, but the stall owner could hear her.

"Don't leave yet, how about 20 spirit stones?" The stall owner was anxious when he heard this, and immediately stood up to keep the two of them. It seemed that he couldn't get a lot of money, so he gave a real price.

"You see, this refining method alone is not enough. Add a good tiger whisker talisman pen, a bottle of monster blood, and a stack of empty talismans. I'll give you 30 spirit stones. I dare say you can't find such a cheap price except from me."

Ning Ping carefully calculated in his mind, and the price was about the same, but he also had another idea.

"Look, the 30 spirit stones you mentioned just now are also fine, but you have to give me this jade token." Ning Ping said, picking up a delicate jade token next to the broken jade slip. It was cold and smooth.

"Oh my, that won't do. This jade token alone is worth 30 spirit stones. Look at the carving and the texture. Wearing it for a long time can calm the mind. It has been worn by high-level monks."

"Then why not get this." Ning Ping put down the jade token in his hand and picked up a paperweight that faintly exuded spiritual energy.

"Brother, your taste is impeccable, and this is even worse. I won't sell this paperweight for less than 100 spirit stones."

"Boss, you can't do this or that. To be honest, I can buy it anywhere at your price, and other business alliances have more credibility, don't you think?"

Some of the secret books on the street stalls outside are actually copied and sold, so the actual cost is not much. If there is a mistake in the skills, it is a big deal, so many people would rather find a reputable merchant even if it is more expensive.

"Ning Ping is too expensive, let's go, don't want it." Shen Qingyao was reluctant to give it up when she heard that it still cost so many spirit stones.

When the stall owner heard this, he suddenly noticed the broken jade slip and picked it up.

"I won't let you suffer a loss, 35 spirit stones, plus this jade slip." Seeing Ning Ping seemed to be about to speak, the stall owner hurriedly continued.

"Little brother, listen to me, don't underestimate this jade slip. It is said to be owned by a large ancient family. After several twists and turns, I have never found anything. Originally, I would never sell it for less than 100 spirit stones. Now I charge you 5 spirit stones, which is just my cost. If it doesn't work, there is nothing I can do."

Ning Ping knew that even if he refused, the other party would definitely give in, but it was enough since the goal had been achieved.

"Hey, boss, you are really good at talking. Okay, let's do this." Ning Ping looked embarrassed as he turned the jade slip over and over in his hand, but his eyes showed that he was moved by the other party's words.

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, this jade slip must have a certain origin.

"Okay, it's straightforward to deal with a little brother. You two take it." The stall owner prepared the things quickly.

Ning Ping and the others left happily after handing over the spiritual stones, especially Shen Qingyao who flipped through the books while walking.

A transaction is a good transaction when both parties get what they need.

Resisting the urge to check the jade slip, the two continued to move forward. Shen Qingyao also put away the talisman book at Ning Ping's urging, but was attracted by the dazzling array of ornaments in the jewelry store on the side of the road.

"This is so beautiful..." Shen Qingyao saw a pair of teardrop-shaped necklaces and exclaimed, then reached out to take them off for a closer look.

Ning Ping took a look and was impressed by the clever design of the necklace. Generally, this type of water drop-shaped pendant is either inlaid as a whole or hanging from the top. However, this one is cleverly embedded in the middle of the water drop, just like a teardrop sliding down the cheek but being retained by the necklace on the chest, which is novel and beautiful.

But at this moment, a white and slender hand reached out from the side and was also grasped in the hand.

"This is what my lady likes." A little girl dressed as a maid passed it over.
