Chapter 32 Taoist Pinglu
Intermediate spiritual talismans are indeed more popular than low-level spiritual talismans in the market. In just half a day, only one of the dozen or so golden light talismans on Song Qingming's stall was left. Qin Zhen alone purchased four of them at once. open.
Most of the exercises practiced by casual cultivators are just ordinary ones, without any powerful magical powers. When they go out to hunt monsters, they basically rely more on external forces such as magic weapons, spiritual talismans, and formations. In addition to formations, among items of the same level, spiritual talismans The power when used is much more powerful than magic weapons, and it is also a commonly used method by monks.
When Song Qingming was in Yunwu Mountain, he was able to escape the pursuit of the Yingchao Ridge robber because he used a relatively powerful mid-grade spiritual talisman to attack in a sneak attack. Situations like this are common in the world of immortality. At certain critical moments, talismans are much easier to use than other spiritual objects.
However, although the talisman is easy to use, it is a consumable item. It is a one-time use spiritual object. It is gone after use. Although the price is much cheaper than the magic weapon, it is not something that can be easily used. It can only be used at critical moments. Because of this, regardless of the level of cultivation, every monk will choose to keep a few spiritual talismans on his body in case of emergencies.
Some time ago, Song Qingming spent thirty spiritual stones to buy two high-grade spiritual talismans for himself in Guiyunfang, and put them on his body to guard against possible dangers. With these two high-grade spiritual talismans, Song Qingming came back from Guiyunfang. On the way, he felt much more at ease. Even if he met a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining, he would have some confidence to escape with two high-grade spiritual talismans in his hand.
After not coming here for several months, Song Qingming’s stall setting up was surprisingly smooth. Not only were all the intermediate spiritual talismans sold out, but also the elementary spiritual talismans he had hoarded before were sold out a lot this time. Before sunset, Song Qingming There were not many spiritual talismans left on the stall, only twenty or thirty low-level spiritual talismans left.
Seeing the sunset, people started to close their stalls and leave here one after another. Song Qingming also got up and packed up, preparing to leave Caolu Mountain. This time he came here and gained a lot.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the yard, a person walked towards him, interrupting his departure.
The person who came was an old monk with white hair and a ruddy face. He was dressed as a Taoist. He was Taoist Pinglu, one of the three owners of Caolu Mountain. Song Qingming was a little surprised to see this man. He didn't know that this old Taoist was looking for him. What's the matter?
"Song Xiaoyou, you are young and have made great progress in cultivation. Compared with me, you are not willing to give in too much. You are a rare young genius in Qinghe County. I am afraid that you will be able to build a foundation in the future." Taoist Pinglu smiled. Looking at Song Qingming, he obviously regarded him as a genius monk with three spiritual roots.
After hearing the Pinglu Taoist's praise, Song Qingming thought about it and felt that he didn't need to explain too much. It didn't really matter if others regarded him as a genius with three spiritual roots. Anyway, he just didn't admit it on his face. In Qinghe County, major universities Cultivation families, in order to protect the important monks of the family with outstanding spiritual roots, generally do not disclose the spiritual roots of these genius monks to the outside world. This is also to protect them from being targeted by their enemies when they go out.
Song Qingming stopped and responded humbly, "Senior is a monk at the pinnacle of Qi refining. How can his cultivation level be comparable to mine? Qingming will have no regrets if he has the opportunity to reach the level of cultivation of his seniors in this life. How dare he want to build The matter of gaining enlightenment.”
This Pinglu Taoist has reached the peak of Qi refining. He also tried to break through the foundation building decades ago. However, he did not have the foundation building pill in his hand and failed to succeed in the foundation building. However, he still relied on his will and survived by luck. , there are nearly a thousand monks in the entire Qinghe County, and there are only a handful of legendary figures like him who dare to try to build a foundation who are still alive without a foundation-building pill.
Although these people failed to successfully build the foundation, they dared to risk their own lives and fight for the path. They are also heroes in the hearts of many Qi Refining monks in Qinghe County. Song Qingming also admires him very much. In exchange for Even he himself may not have the courage to risk everything and make such a life-and-death decision.
"Humble and polite, down-to-earth, he is a good candidate for cultivating immortals. I heard that you need to purchase a large amount of mid-level talisman-making materials. The old man just happened to have some on hand recently. I wonder if you still need them?"
"Yes, of course!"
So it turns out that these three old men from Pinglu rarely appear at gatherings, and those who maintain order in the courtyard are always their disciples. This old man suddenly came here, and as expected, it was for a few spiritual stones. Song Qingming was at this moment Finally, he figured out the true purpose of Pinglu Taoist looking for him, and he couldn't help but smile.
Following the old Taoist to the inn in Caolu Mountain, the two of them found a secluded guest room. They thought that the old man didn't have much material in hand, and he had to go to Qinghefang this month. Unexpectedly, this old Pinglu Taoist, Hiding deeply and making extraordinary moves, he took out more than a hundred mid-level talisman-making materials at once, which really frightened Song Qingming. Good guy, he almost caught up with the ordinary material shops in Guiyuanfang.
Song Qingming took inventory of these materials, and he had just received some at the rally. The total was enough for him to use for half a month. After negotiating the price with Taoist Hepinglu, he readily accepted the batch of materials.
Seeing Song Qingming take out dozens of spiritual stones, Pinglu Taoist took it over, glanced at it and quickly put it into the storage bag, raised his head and said with a smile.
"Song Xiaoyou, if your family wants to make a long-term acquisition, you can inform me in advance. The old man has some connections in Caolu Mountain, so it won't be difficult to help your family raise some talisman-making materials."
When Song Qingming heard this, he felt happy. If this old Taoist really had such a way here, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future. After thinking about it for a while, he decided on the matter with Taoist Hepinglu, and the two of them had a long-term relationship from now on. There was a secret deal in this inn.
However, Song Qingming did not dare to ask for too much at the beginning. He only asked him to provide a hundred mid-level talisman-making materials and a hundred low-level talisman-making materials every month. If there were too many, he was afraid that it would cause this cultivator. The nearly century-old fox became suspicious.
Secondly, although he can now make mid-level spiritual talismans, he still needs to make some low-level spiritual talismans to serve as cover. Otherwise, if he only sells mid-level spiritual talismans in the future, in this gathering alone, he will soon be exposed as a mid-level spiritual talisman. The identity of the Talisman Maker.
"Don't worry, little friend, I have an old friendship with the head of your family. Since I agreed to you, I will definitely be able to help you raise money within a month. Then you can just come to me to pick up the goods." Pinglu old man saw that Song Qingming was willing For long-term acquisitions, I began to swear that there would be no problems.
It has to be said that this Pinglu Taoist is a good hand in business. Caolu Mountain can reach the scale it is today, and his contribution is definitely indispensable.
However, he and Song Gushan, the head of the Song family, are monks of the same generation. They are both old men who are nearly a hundred years old. They only have a few years of life left. At such an age, they are still running around for a few spiritual stones. Think about it. He is also paving the way for his descendants.
In the world of cultivating immortals, there are often only a few monks in a generation who can build a foundation. After most monks have lost their way to further their path, they will choose to recruit disciples or establish a family to help them raise cultivation resources and bring them into the world. Hope rests on the next generation of monks.
