The King of Black Fog

Chapter 523: Selling Cultivation Insights


The Immortal felt hazy, as if she hadn't slept for days and nights. Ever since the Energy Introduction, she had always been clear-headed and spirited. This was the first time feeling like this.

She sat in a pile of weeds under the eaves, leaned against the wall, intending to rest for a while, but ended up falling asleep directly.

When she woke up again, it happened to be sunset. The setting sun cast its glow on Spirit Field Mountain, the terraced fields glittering like mirrors of neon, breathtakingly beautiful.

The Immortal watched for a while.

As the sky darkened, she still couldn't concentrate, so the evening class—Cultivation—was not going to happen.

She remembered in the last batch of scrolls, there was a book "Cultivation Basics" that said:

A person's Heart Power is limited, and this is true for Cultivators as well. In a short period, if one is practicing Alchemy, drawing Talismans, or cultivating Spells, it's best not to cultivate Cultivation Techniques, otherwise it's very easy to fall into Deviation.

It even listed many sect examples:

Within sects, the person with the highest cultivation is never an Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, Talisman Master, or Array Master, but those who focus solely on Cultivation without engaging in production.

The Immortal never felt this before; even when practicing Cloud Rain Skill, it didn't affect her afternoon classes or evening classes that day. She even thought the book was lying, studying was useless, and the gods wasted Money. Now she finally understood.

Actually, if it weren't for sharing Li Changzhou's comprehension, quickly mastering the "Shield Skill" and deducing it to a very profound Realm, the Immortal wouldn't have felt lost.

Immortal Cultivation requires high Talent.

The Immortal is top-notch in all aspects, including energy.

When she was a maid, she slept half an hour later than the young mistress and got up half an hour earlier than the young mistress every day. She served people tirelessly with energy.

Besides, it's the Talent for Cultivation.

In one lesson, she could absorb and refine three strands of Spiritual Energy, while other Cultivators could only absorb one a day, and even that couldn't be fully refined.

When she ate Spirit Rice, she could completely absorb four strands of Spiritual Energy, while other Cultivators, like Jiang Xiaoyue, would only obtain a small amount after refining four strands.

"Hmm."

But the Immortal still played with the Shield Skill for a while. Even though it was a low-level Spell, she still liked it.

Early the next morning, after completing the morning class, since the Spirit Field needed resting because it was just harvested, there was no need to climb the mountain to work, so she went directly to Jiang Xiaoyue's home.

The two had planned, and today they were going to sell Spirit Rice and spirit vegetables together.

These Loose Cultivators—even among Loose Cultivators, they were poor—naturally couldn't afford to eat what they grew themselves, so they had to sell it to exchange for cheaper cultivation materials.

For example, Concentration Incense, to prevent Deviation and also extend Cultivation time.

Or the seeds for the next planting.

Scythes and hoes also needed to be bought new, as the old ones weren't sharp enough.

The Immortal and Jiang Xiaoyue tacitly didn't bring up yesterday's topic, and together loaded the Spirit Rice and spirit vegetables onto the ox cart.

They didn't rush off but waited to join other Loose Cultivators and a big group of people drove their ox carts together to the market, in a grand procession.

A person would be robbed along the way.

Two girls sat together, eating meat buns while chatting about what they planned to buy after selling the Spirit Rice and spirit vegetables.

"If everything goes smoothly, I'll soon be able to start Alchemy," Jiang Xiaoyue said, "I'll start with something simple, Fasting Pills. I've already chosen where to set up a stall, right across from the Lu Wei Weapons Shop, where hunters frequent; Fasting Pills are essential for them."

"Mm-hmm." The Immortal ate a bun.

"Once the Fasting Pills make money, I'll start on Qi Nourishing Pills, the Elixirs used in the early stage of Qi Cultivation; that's where the real money is, no worries about food and drink!"

The Immortal finished the bun in one bite.

"When I say food and drink, I mean Spirit Rice, Demon Beast Meat, not meat buns; the drink would be Spiritual Tea, not well water!" Jiang Xiaoyue explained.

Everyone around had smiles on their faces, just like Jiang Xiaoyue, filled with hope for life.

The Immortal particularly liked this atmosphere.

"I plan to learn a craft too," she said.

"Oh? What do you want to learn?" Jiang Xiaoyue flicked the grass to swat at the ox's hindquarters and turned her head in curiosity.

"Talismans!"

"When you become a Talisman Master, you better sell them to me cheap."

"You won't need to pay!" The Immortal waved her hand grandly.

Jiang Xiaoyue laughed happily: "Alright then, when you need Alchemy, I won't charge you either!"

The Immortal propped her hands on either side of her body, kicking her dainty feet, her face full of smiles.

The sun shone brightly today, the sky was blue, and the clouds were white.

The ox cart hadn't entered the market but stopped under an old locust tree, where some Shopkeepers from the rice shops were sitting.

They inspected the goods one by one. Once confirming the Spirit Rice and spirit vegetables were fine, they would purchase them.

Goods from a few low-level Spirit Plant Masters were in high demand.

"Xiaoyue, this year's harvest is good, huh?" The Shopkeeper responsible for the two was from Baihe Rice Shop, a female cultivator, plain-looking, with a big butt.

"Sister Bai, can you slightly raise the purchase price?" Jiang Xiaoyue asked sweetly.

Sister Bai put down the Spirit Rice in her hand, clapped her hands, and shook her head: "The harvest is more, but the Quality is still inferior. The purchasing price remains unchanged. It's not that I don't want to help you; it's my husband who makes the decisions now."

"No problem at all, just thought I'd ask. Sister Bai, look, this is the Immortal, please take care of her in the future, she's learning Cloud Rain Skill!"

Sister Bai laughed: "You are the Immortal?"

"Hello, Sister Bai~" The Immortal greeted obediently.

"Who gave you that name?"

"The gods."

"Hahaha! Good!" Sister Bai patted the Immortal's slender shoulder, "In the future, I'll buy your rice and vegetables without lowering your price!"

"Thank you, Sister Bai!" The Immortal and Jiang Xiaoyue said in unison.

Sister Bai's purchasing price is 1 Spirit Crystal higher per hundred jin than other rice shops.
