Chapter 54: Cave, Transaction
Chen Ming took the handwritten list of spiritual medicines from Li Yi, carefully put it in his arms, and then said seriously: "Okay, Brother Li, don't worry!".
"However, Brother Li, where can I find you if I have an emergency?" Chen Ming asked.
"If you need to find me in an emergency, you can make a smiley face mark at the bottom of the city wall at the East Gate, and I will find you." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
After another conversation, Li Yi said goodbye to Chen Ming and left the small courtyard. From beginning to end, he did not talk to other cultivators.
Li Yi originally planned to open a small shop by himself, slowly collect spiritual medicines, and then slowly exchange the pills in his hand for spiritual stones, but this was a waste of time. Now that he met Chen Ming, he felt that this person had good character and could be trusted. He had saved his life, and if he gave him a lot of money, he should be able to drive this person to do things for him. He just spent some pills.
When Li Yi was strolling in Juxian City, a one-armed old man stood in a small courtyard in the north city of Juxian City, reporting something to a young man. If Li Yi was there, he would definitely recognize the one-armed old man, the old man who had a conflict with him outside Juxian City.
"Sixth Young Master, the boy who killed the Ninth Young Master has appeared again." The one-armed man said with anger on his face.
"That boy has appeared again. Didn't you say that he was chased into the Ghost Bat Cave? How could he, a boy at the fourth level of Qi training, escape from the Ghost Bat Cave?" The young man in black stared at the old man and said with great suspicion. He felt that the old man was lying to him. Even if he was chased into the Ghost Bat Cave, he would be in great danger.
The old man was sweating profusely after being asked by the young man, and then hurriedly said: "Yes, Sixth Young Master, I dare not lie to you. I did see him escape into the Ghost Bat Cave. And I waited there for a long time. Not only did the monks of the Blood Ghost Sect search in, I also searched in, but I didn't find the body of this kid. He could stay in the Ghost Bat Cave for so long, nothing happened, I think he must have a secret."
After listening to the old man's words, the black-clothed young man thought for a while and said: "What you said makes some sense. You are sure it is him, you are not wrong."
"No mistake, young master, I can recognize that kid even if he turns into ashes." The old man gritted his teeth and said. He saw Li Yi being chased by someone last time, but he didn't chase him immediately, because the monk chasing Li Yi was too powerful, he really didn't dare to take action, and because he was incompetent, the black-clothed young man broke one of his arms. He didn't dare to hate the young man, so he had to put the account on Li Yi's head.
"Okay, keep an eye on this person. If he leaves the city, notify me immediately. I will do it myself this time. I can handle this little thing!" The young man in black licked his lips, showed a cruel smile, and said coldly.
After hearing the young man's words, the old man in black shuddered and said in horror: "No, I won't let him run away again this time."
Li Yi naturally didn't know that he was being targeted by the old man again.
After wandering around Juxian City again, Li Yi found the cave house rental place in Juxian City.
"Does this Taoist friend need to rent a cave house?" As soon as he entered the hall, a servant asked.
"I need to rent a cave house with earth fire for cultivation. I don't know what the price is." Li Yi asked.
"A cave house with earth fire, could it be that Taoist friend is an alchemist or a weapon refiner?" The servant looked at Li Yi and asked excitedly.
"Why, must you be an alchemist or a weapon refiner to rent it?" Li Yi asked.
"You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. This kind of cave is usually only used by weapon refiners or alchemists. If you can show proof of being an alchemist or weapon refiner, we can give you a 20% discount." The servant said.
After hearing his words, Li Yi's heart moved, and then he took out the jade card with the word "one" engraved on it given by Danta.
"Ah! It's actually Danta's grade certification jade card, so fellow Daoist must be a first-grade alchemist. The annual fee for our cave with earth fire is 500 low-grade spirit stones, and first-grade alchemists can get a 20% discount. How long do you need to rent it?" The servant returned the jade card to Li Yi and said very respectfully.
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's rent it for a year first!" After that, Li Yi took out the spirit stones and paid a year's fee.
Then, Li Yi was taken to a quaint little courtyard in the northeast of Juxian City. There was a green light cover above the courtyard, which protected the courtyard tightly, and people outside could not see what was inside the courtyard at all.
Li Yi took out a jade token from his bosom and placed it on the light shield at the door. Then the light shield opened a hole that allowed one person to pass through. Li Yi walked into it, and then the hole closed again.
The small courtyard was very wide, with various flowers, plants and trees planted, full of greenery, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy, and the spiritual energy in it was much richer than outside. Although it cost some spiritual stones, Li Yi still felt it was worth it.
After checking the layout of the cave, Li Yi did not practice immediately, but fell on the bed to rest.
Two days later, Li Yi tidied up and left the cave, and came to Wanbao Tower again. After coming out this time, Li Yi felt that there was always someone following him behind him, but Li Yi did not take it to heart, but a faint sneer hung at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you need to buy something, fellow Taoist? We have spiritual tools, elixirs and talismans here, everything you need." A green-clothed servant said to Li Yi.
"I need to buy some elixirs and talismans. Is Sun Xiang still here? I know him." Li Yi said. It was Sun Xiang who reminded him last time that someone wanted him. He thought this guy was not bad, so he decided to trade with him again this time.
"Fellow Daoist, you know our Manager Sun. Please go to the VIP area to rest for a while. I will go and invite him for you." The servant looked at Li Yi with some surprise and said.
After a while, Sun Xiang came down from upstairs, looked at Li Yi from a distance, and smiled like Maitreya Buddha on his face, saying: "I was wondering why I always felt that something good was going to happen today. It turned out that Brother Li was coming. I haven't seen him for a few years. Brother Li's cultivation has improved a lot. I can't tell it anymore."
After that, Sun Xiang carefully looked at Li Yi for a few times, and was secretly surprised in his heart. With his strength, he couldn't see Li Yi's cultivation. You know, four years ago, Li Yi's cultivation was only about the 4th level of Qi training.
"Brother Sun, you are joking. I do have some opportunities. I came here to buy some things from you." Li Yi said enthusiastically.
"Brother Li, you are too polite. Just tell me what you want. I will not delay if I can help you." Sun Xiang said with a big wave of his hand.
"I need to buy some detoxification pills and some healing pills, as well as some low-level talismans, and the formula of the second-grade pill that can improve the cultivation of the Qi Refining Stage." Li Yi said his needs in one breath.
