Chapter 15 White Dew
Six plants of Gastrodia elata and five bottles of Micro-Gastrodia Pills.
Yu Huai sold about 40 spirit stones on this trip.
For independent cultivators, this can be considered a huge sum of money.
Naturally, the Qi-gathering Grass made up the majority of them.
However, he then bought several more talismans and elixirs, and his spirit stones were all spent again.
Yu Huai suddenly realized that the spirit stones usually didn't stay in his pocket for long.
However, touching these talismans...
Yu Huai felt much more at ease.
This time, he spent a huge sum of money to buy a first-grade high-quality talisman called the Sharp Wood Spike Talisman, which is an attack talisman with the wood attribute.
Because it was an offensive talisman, it was more expensive than others, costing him a full 17 spirit stones.
In addition, there is one first-tier mid-grade defensive talisman and one attack talisman, worth 12 spirit stones.
The talismans cost a total of nearly 30 spirit stones.
Regardless of what he was selling or buying, Yu Huai chose several different shops because he disguised himself and even removed his Silver Ring to release the aura of a fifth-level Qi Refining cultivator. His purpose was to prevent anyone from coveting him.
The shopkeepers colluded with the robbers.
Jie Xiu was certainly not stupid.
Knowing that Yu Huai has so many talismans for self-defense, and that he has already used up all his spirit stones, how much do he have left?
Therefore, it's impossible for them to foolishly keep their eyes on him.
However, if Yu Huai goes with only the third level of Qi Refining, then things might not be so certain.
Yu Huai stepped on the yellowing maple leaves.
He hasn't forgotten the entry for "seeking medicine".
On the way home.
He took several detours, but he didn't find any medicinal herbs.
If it really exists.
That too was intercepted by the monks living nearby.
Having wasted some time, Yu Huai had no regrets. He returned to his own courtyard, planted some more spiritual herbs, and began refining the Micro Qi Pill once more.
He spent money to buy the prescription, but he hasn't even made back his investment yet.
Time flies, and several days pass in the blink of an eye.
early morning.
Today marks the White Dew solar term.
The updated entries these past few days have been quite good, including entries on alchemy and talisman making. This has not only greatly improved Yu Huai's talisman making and alchemy skills, but also allowed him to make a small fortune.
In addition, a new entry for the word "blue" was created.
However, this was only an auxiliary planting term, and still not as important as [luck], so Yu Huai did not choose to replace it.
Today seems to be the White Dew solar term.
The trade fair is tonight, right?
While feeding the small bluefish, Yu Huai glanced at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then turned to look at the panel in front of him.
[Entry: Perception (White): Has an intuitive warning of traps and mechanisms]
[Entry: Penetrating Vision (Green): Increases perception of others' cultivation level by 20%, can penetrate ordinary clothing]
[Entry: Herb Picking (Green): When picking herbs, remove inferior products; herb quality +20%]
[Fixed Affix: Luck (Blue): Luck +50%, chance to snag a lucky break, chance to avoid fatal damage]
[Perception] should be similar to [Alertness], and it came just in time.
However, this "peephole"...
Hey.
That's not right, he's not that kind of person.
Yu Huai shook his head.
Then I looked at the entry for "picking medicine".
Yu Huai currently believes that his alchemy skills are sufficient to refine first-grade low-level pills.
I just never had the chance.
He also had neither the recipe for the elixir nor the alchemical furnace.
Pill recipes are expensive. Last time, he only bought a recipe for a low-grade Qi Pill, which cost more than ten spirit stones.
The formulas for advanced pills are generally many times more numerous than those for advanced pills.
The price of an alchemical furnace is comparable to that of a ritual implement.
A good alchemy furnace can sell for hundreds of spirit stones, or even more.
Generally speaking, apart from some common elixirs and formulas, few forces buy and sell elixirs, especially those that are helpful for cultivation.
Therefore, Yu Huai could only refine some non-ranked pills, which served as practice and earned him some spirit stones.
There is still a long time until Hai hour (9-11 PM).
Taking advantage of this little bit of time, and using the opportunity to "collect medicine," he refined a few more Micro Qi Pills.
With that thought in mind, Yu Huai went into the kitchen.
Boil, rotate, compress, and roll into a ball.
After going through the whole process, some more time had passed.
Next came drawing some talismans to bring back spring.
In the blink of an eye.
As the sun sets, rays of light pierce the sky.
Yu Huai put on a newly made wooden mask covered with maple leaves, rested for a moment, and then went out.
West Street.
Yu Huai stood in front of a pavilion, slightly raised his head, and looked ahead.
Zhuliguan is a restaurant.
It was organized by a small Qi-cultivation clan.
The building was noisy and bustling, filled with a fragrant aroma, but no one knew what kind of spirit it was.
There were many cultivators dressed similarly to him, most of whom concealed their faces; it was unclear how many of them had come for the trade fair.
I glanced at it for a moment.
The entry for "[Perception]" did not trigger a warning.
There shouldn't be any traps or mechanisms.
After pondering for a moment, Yu Huai stepped inside.
He looked up and saw a black-clad monk covering his face with a cloth and showing the jade pendant to the waiter who came to greet him.
The waiter then had a maid lead him inside with a smile.
That maid was just an ordinary person.
"Fellow Daoist, are you staying at the inn or just drinking?"
"Our family's Maple Frost Wine is also considered top-notch."
The waiter, dressed in plain clothes and with a cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining, greeted Yu Huai with a smile as he entered.
Every restaurant claims its Maple Frost Brew is top-notch, but they're all pretty much the same.
Yu Huai did not immediately reveal the jade pendant, but instead said to the waiter in a deep voice:
"Bring me a jar of maple leaf wine; I want to see what's different about yours."
It's still early, so he's not in a hurry.
Let me take another look.
After speaking to the waiter, he found a seat by the window and sat down.
At this moment, Yu Huai's aura was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
He had already removed the silver ring.
In a place like this, if he were to still show off his Qi Refining Level 3 cultivation, he would be asking for trouble.
He didn't come here to fish.
Not long after.
The waiter brought over a jar of maple frost wine and also gave us a free plate of snacks that looked like peanuts.
I poured myself a glass and drank it.
Ok?
This restaurant's Maple Frost Wine is indeed quite special, with a slightly sweet taste, probably due to the addition of some honey water.
As Yu Huai pondered, his peripheral vision fell upon the cultivator who had entered.
He possessed the "Penetrating Eyes" attribute, granting him a penetrating ability similar to divine sense, allowing him to see the faces and cultivation levels of the cultivators who entered and exited.
After finishing the jar, we drank it all.
It seems his alcohol tolerance has increased quite a bit.
Yu Huai sighed, glanced at the time, used his spiritual power to dispel his drunkenness, stepped towards the waiter, and followed the other person, revealing the jade pendant, before entering the house with the maid.
The basement level of Zhuliguan.
Yu Huai's arrival did not attract much attention from the cultivators inside; only a few glanced up briefly.
The monks sat on either side.
Yu Huai found a seat towards the back and took a quick look around.
They all concealed their faces.
Fortunately, he possessed the "Seeing Eye," which allowed him to see the faces of all the cultivators one by one.
There also seems to be a nun.
Yu Huai remained expressionless and coughed lightly.
Most of the cultivators here are at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, with only a few at the front being at the late stage, and the female cultivator was none other than the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.
As for cultivators in the early stage of Qi Refining, he did not see any.
Perhaps I'm not even qualified to be here.
Yu Huai pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes to rest.
