Um?
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu's expression changed, and he asked hurriedly, "What do you mean by that?"
After saying this, he stared at Zhao Sheng intently.
Zhao Sheng extended his right hand and gently patted the jade box, then said calmly, "If I sell it to you, would that be considered a good thing?"
Manager Liu was startled when he heard this, but his anger instantly turned into joy. He said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, what do you mean? I can't produce the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Zhao Sheng also smiled and said, "No need for Foundation Establishment Pills, just medicinal pills and spirit stones of equivalent value will suffice. I just want to make friends with Manager Liu."
As the saying goes, listen to the words and the meaning.
Manager Liu was very smart and immediately understood that the person opposite him clearly wanted something from him.
He felt relieved and said with a smile: "Great! I have made Zhao Daoyou my friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to me."
While Zhao Sheng secretly praised the other party for his sophisticated handling of the matter, a hint of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face, and he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.
Seeing this, Manager Liu asked, "Just right," "Brother Zhao, is there really something difficult for you? Why not tell me about it?"
Seeing the other party's tacit cooperation, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but show "gratitude" and took the opportunity to tell the real purpose of his visit.
"To be honest, Brother Liu, my family has so many members that our original residence is almost full. Is the family worried now? I don't know where to find a new spiritual land.
"Brother Liu comes from the Danding School and is very knowledgeable. I wonder if you've heard of any sacred land for rent?"
After hearing this, Manager Liu was shocked and secretly surprised that the other party was so well-informed.
Two months ago, word did come out from the sect's elders' hall that they were going to hold a small auction to rent out several vacant spirit veins.
However, this auction was just a formality.
Long before this, those spiritual veins had already secretly found their destinations.
Zhao Sheng's sudden attempt to intervene was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Thinking of this, Manager Liu shook his head secretly and was about to say that he had never heard of it. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhao Sheng playing with the Red Fire Ganoderma with a smile on his face.
His expression froze and he hesitated.
Looking at the red fire fungus in front of him, Manager Liu became more and more jealous.
Even though he came from a large family, there were several Jindan ancestors in his family.
But the bigger the family, the more intense the competition.
Although he was born into a legitimate family, it was not easy for him to obtain a foundation-building pill.
This red fire ganoderma can only be exchanged for a foundation-building pill in the hands of an outsider.
If it fell into his hands, he would ask the elders of the family to refine it in a furnace, and make a net profit of at least several foundation-building pills.
Never mind.
Even if I offend those relatives, so what? How could the great Danding Liu family be afraid of a few poor little families?
After making up his mind, Manager Liu immediately said, "To be honest, my sect is planning to release a few Hundred Year Orders recently. You've found the right person, brother."
Zhao Sheng thought to himself, "I'm looking for you. I've already spent hundreds of spirit stones on this."
As soon as Manager Liu finished speaking, Zhao Sheng immediately said with delight: "Really? That's great!
May I ask Brother Liu how I can obtain a Hundred Years Token?"
Manager Liu glanced at Chihuozhi and said nothing.
Zhao Sheng understood and said generously, "Brother Liu, don't worry! No matter what the result is, I will only sell this Red Fire Ganoderma to you."
Upon hearing this, Manager Liu smiled with satisfaction and said in a gentle tone, "Three months from now, our Danding Sect will hold a Centennial Token Auction. Anyone with an invitation can participate. However..."
Seeing the other party hesitant to speak, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask seriously: "But what? Brother Liu, please explain clearly."
Cough cough!
Manager Liu coughed twice and said awkwardly, "To be honest, brother, I'm afraid those Hundred Years' Tokens have already found a buyer."
Zhao Sheng smiled slightly and said calmly, "I will certainly not make things difficult for Brother Liu. I just want an invitation. This shouldn't be difficult for Brother Liu."
Manager Liu was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately patted his chest and promised, "It's just an invitation. Don't worry, it will be here in half a month at most. Come to Dan Ding Pavilion again and I promise to give you the invitation."
Zhao Sheng smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Liu."
"Don't worry, it's a small matter."
At this point, both parties were happy.
A quarter of an hour later, Manager Liu enthusiastically escorted Zhao Sheng to the door of Danding Pavilion and finally watched him leave.
…
After leaving Danding Pavilion, Zhao Sheng crossed a few streets and slipped into an inn. When he came out, he had changed his face.
Next, he wandered aimlessly in the inner city until he was sure that no one was following him. Then he changed back to his original appearance and returned to the courtyard where he lived.
As soon as he got home, Zhao Sheng went into the quiet room.
After sitting cross-legged on the cushion, Zhao Sheng took out his storage bag and took out a pile of bottles and jars from it.
Ten bottles of Soul Gathering Pills, ten bottles of Spirit Nourishing Pills, seven bottles of Meridian Strengthening Pills, four bottles of Soul Exploding Pills, and three bottles of Barrier Breaking Pills...
In addition to various first-level elixirs, Zhao Sheng also specially exchanged for some spiritual medicine seeds. The total value was about 30,000 spirit stones, which was exactly the market price of a foundation-building pill.
Zhao Sheng knew he had lost out.
These elixirs were sold to him by Manager Liu at market price, so his cost must be lower.
But Zhao Sheng had no regrets. Sometimes, suffering a loss is a blessing, and one must have foresight.
After checking the pills, Zhao Sheng put most of them back into the storage bag, leaving only one bottle of Spirit Gathering Pill in his hand.
The Soul Gathering Pill is a first-grade, superior elixir that is 30% more effective than the Spirit Yuan Pill.
As a "waste material" with four spiritual roots, Zhao Sheng is destined to become a drug-addicted player if he wants to build a foundation.
After taking a spirit-gathering pill, Zhao Sheng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, concentrating his mind. Countless colorful spiritual particles soon appeared in the air.
As the effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill spread, the rotation speed of the spiritual power vortex in Zhao Sheng's dantian suddenly increased by three points, and countless spiritual particles were sucked into the dantian vortex faster than before.
Correspondingly, the subsequent purification and refining process is also greatly accelerated.
Zhao Sheng estimated that with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, it would have taken at least eight years to break through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, but now it only takes five to six years.
This deal saves at least two years, so it's a good deal.
Zhao Sheng was delighted to see the prey, and practiced for three days and three nights until he could no longer sustain it. He then came out of the quiet room, climbed onto the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
…
Seven days later, in the quiet room,
Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on a cushion, with an ancient scroll spread out on the floor in front of him.
The left side of the ancient book is filled with densely written tiny characters, while the right side is covered with a series of intricate and complex symbols.
The talisman that Zhao Sheng was looking at was a second-order true talisman called "Phantom Escape" recorded in the Yuxu Talisman Sutra.
The Phantom Escape Talisman is a type of water-based talisman and also a type of escape talisman.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the Escape Talisman, as a special talisman for saving lives, has always been several times more expensive than other talismans.
But correspondingly, the escape talisman is also the most difficult type of talisman to draw.
