Chapter 53 A good harvest

Although it sounds a bit harsh for Mrs. Xiang to give a 40% discount on the goods, others are open about the price they offer without hiding anything.

And the price was 180 spirit stones, which was equivalent to four or five medium-grade storage bags. Mo Juren, who was penniless at the moment, could only agree, but on the surface he just calmly replied,
"can."

Madam Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and then apologized,
"But please forgive me, Master Tie. Although Maoxiang Valley can provide these 180 spirit stones, we cannot give them all to Master Tie at once. This is because our valley will be hosting the Loose Cultivator Trade Fair in the future, so we need to prepare some more spirit stones for flexible use."

"If Master Tie doesn't want to give up, can you consider taking only a portion of it? You can use the remaining spirit stones to buy some immortal cultivation items from this valley to offset the loss. How do you think?"

Mo Juren pondered for a moment and decided that it was okay, so he asked,
"I wonder what's for sale in the valley, so that Zhang can have a rough idea."

"There are still some pills, talismans, magic tools, and common immortal cultivation items."

Old Hong happened to have brought with him a catalog, which listed all the immortal cultivation items for sale in Maoxiang Valley, with relevant introductions, and the prices were clearly marked, which was very detailed.

After a quick look, Mo Juren selected two bottles of Qi-recovering pills, ten pieces of quicksand talismans, and ten pieces of entanglement talismans. A bottle of Qi-recovering pills has five spirits, and a low-grade talisman has one spirit, so a total of thirty spirit stones were used.

The Qi-restoring Pill is a pill that helps to quickly restore magic power. It is much faster than the recovery through meditation and can be used as a temporary emergency during a fight.

As the name suggests, the Quicksand Talisman and the Entanglement Talisman can perform quicksand and entanglement techniques, which are elementary spells that Mo Juren has not learned.

Of course, there are various kinds of poisonous insects in the catalog, such as the parasitic poison, corpse-controlling poison, voice-changing poison, blood-hiding poison, soul-bewitching poison, etc. They are varied and ever-changing, and each has different magical uses. It is worthy of being called the land of the southern barbarians, and it is really eye-opening.

However, the price of the poisonous insects is not cheap. Mo Juren just took a quick look at them and did not consider buying them for the time being.

When he turned to the end of the catalog, Mo Juren's eyes suddenly lit up. There were actually several magical instruments recorded here, including an umbrella, a gun and a set of magic needles.

Among them, the umbrella-shaped magic weapon is used for defense. It can dispel fog and poison. It is quite useful, but it is useless to Mo Juren.

The gun is closer to mortal weapons. After being injected with magic power, it can exert gun energy, suddenly increase its sharpness, and be able to defeat the enemy from a distance, which is equivalent to obtaining the ability of a mortal warrior out of thin air.

This has no effect on Mo Juren. His Tiansha Sword Body Technique allows him to wield sword energy with mortal weapons, which is more magical than ordinary sword energy. Naturally, he does not need this kind of low-level magic weapon.

Among the three magic weapons, the last set of spirit needles has the highest price tag, reaching fifty spirit stones, which includes a set of three needle-shaped magic weapons and matching sacrificial techniques.

The name of the magic weapon is the Red Thread Needle. According to Madam Xiang, it was a magic weapon that a female cultivator consigned to her for sale. It is a rare complete set of magic weapons.

Although the power and strength of the needle-shaped magic weapon are not very good, it has the advantage of being secretive. If used well, it can also produce miraculous effects.

Since Mo Juren learned the art of driving objects, he has not possessed any real magical weapon except for the fireball and small sword talisman.

Moreover, he often used the Worry-Free Needle to practice medicine in his daily life and had no aversion to needle-shaped instruments, so this set of instruments was very much to his liking, so he took action and bought this set of instruments.

After this round of inquiries and selections, the transaction was completed and both parties got what they needed. Mo Juren sold a plant of Iron Yellow Essence and received elixirs, talismans and magic tools. Finally, he had one hundred spirit stones left in his pocket. Both parties were happy.

For Maoxiang Valley, this may be considered a not-so-small "business". Madam Xiang looks radiant and her face is even more radiant and charming.

After Mao Xianggu's men delivered the items, the two sides counted the transactions. After all this hassle, an hour passed quickly. Mo Juren said goodbye to Madam Xiang, went down to the first floor of Qiuxiang Pavilion, picked up the drunk Master Jin Guang, and used a magical power to wake him up.

Master Jin Guang shuddered, woke up, and saw that it was Mo Juren, then he realized that his time of departure had come.

Facing the room full of drunken men, Master Jin Guang clasped his fists silently, then caught up with Mo Juren and left the place where he had been living a life of drunkenness and debauchery.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and after leaving the gate of Maoxiang Valley, they headed east.

Passing by a peach forest, we saw peach blossoms blooming all over the hillside, shining brightly and creating a beautiful scene.

Master Jin Guang pointed to the front and introduced,
"That peach forest is where the Sanxian Trade Fair was held in previous years. Mr. Tie, please take a look. You can see the difference using the Sky Eye Technique."

Mo Juren's magic power turned, and he saw from his Sky Eye that there was a different flow of spiritual power in the peach forest than in other places. He asked in doubt,
"What is that? Is it a formation?"

"Yes, Master Tie. Generally, markets and places where immortal cultivators gather will have some illusion arrays or mazes set up outside. They are mainly used to drive away mortals, but they also have a certain defensive effect to resist the attacks of cultivators."

Master Jin Guang was lost in thought.
"Although the casual cultivator trade fair in Maoxiang Valley cannot be considered a market, there are more than 20 casual cultivators coming at the peak, which is quite lively. Every three years, I will come to join in the fair. There are also several female cultivators among them, which is quite good, hehe."

"How are the cultivation levels of these independent cultivators? Are they all like you, practicing among mortals on a daily basis?" Mo Juren asked curiously.

"That's not the case," Master Jin Guang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"They usually go deep into the heart of this barbarian land and cultivate in places with slightly stronger spiritual energy. Usually they are in the wild mountains and wilderness, with insects and beasts as their companions. It's very boring."

"Spiritual energy is indeed a big problem. I see that there are so many mortals mixed in this Maoxiang Valley, and the spiritual energy is extremely scarce. Then how do the cultivators in this Maoxiang Valley, such as Master Hei Jue, Madam Xiang, and Baturu, practice? Do you know?"

"Hehe, Master Tie is wise. He saw the key point at a glance."

Master Jin Guang complimented him,

"The key to this is still in the peach forest. We can only go there when the Caoxiang Valley holds a trade fair for independent cultivators. The spiritual energy there is much more abundant than outside."

Mo Juren was surprised.
"Is there another spiritual vein beneath the Thatch Valley?"

"It shouldn't be. According to the information I have gathered from various sources, it is very likely that Master Black Jue has set up a spirit gathering formation under the peach forest!"

"A spirit gathering array? Can it increase the concentration of spiritual energy?"

"That's right. When I was practicing at Qin Yeling's house, there were some small spirit gathering arrays at home. With the help of these arrays, we can gather the spiritual energy in the surrounding environment and increase the spiritual energy depth in the local area."

Mo Juren's biggest headache now is how to solve the problem of lack of spiritual energy in future cultivation, so he asked with great interest,

"Then do you know how to set up these spirit gathering arrays?"
