Chapter 408: Volume D: At Dusk, the Sea Is Full of Ups and Downs, and the Beauty Accompanies the Soldiers to Prepare for Battle.
After walking for a long distance, Kou Qing realized that she had unconsciously turned from pulling Chen Huaisheng's arm and pushing him.
She was so panicked that she quickly shook off Chen Huaisheng's hand and stamped her feet angrily.
In this era, the etiquette between men and women is not so strict, especially in the world of cultivation.
But walking hand in hand on the street is rare even for couples, unless they are from a sect that doesn't care much about etiquette, and even less so for couples.
The atmosphere in Xitang is more open, and perhaps this phenomenon can still be seen in Chang'an City, but it is still rare in Bianjing.
"What's wrong?" Chen Huaisheng was still a little confused. Why did he suddenly get angry again?
Kou Qing snorted with a proud look, and rolled her eyes at him: "In such a big city like Bianjing, is there nothing you want to buy? Is the trade so prosperous in Hebei?"
"It seems that there is nothing special to buy." Chen Huaisheng scratched his head.
He still prefers Kou Qing to hold his hand, even if it is a little dangerous to do so in Bianjing City. Bao Liu is still in the city, so of course the possibility of her coming out is very small.
"Didn't you say you were practicing thunder magic?" Kou Qing glared at him: "Thunder magic starts with water, fire and wood. Xuanhuang Divine Soil can certainly add soil power, but it can't add these three attributes. If you want to achieve great success in thunder magic, these three attribute spiritual plants are indispensable. Since you already have a spiritual mountain cave, you must have a lot of spiritual fields and land. Buy more seeds of the three types of spiritual plants and cultivate them well. They can also increase your three attribute spiritual power, which is not only beneficial to spiritual realm cultivation, but also thunder magic."
Kou Qing had been planning for Chen Huaisheng early on. Chen Huaisheng built his foundation so quickly. If he wants to continue to improve in the spiritual realm, it will take time, but he can make a difference in spells, instrument cultivation and talisman spells.
Especially when Chen Huaisheng practiced thunder magic, it was a spell that required extremely high spiritual power. The three attributes of water, fire and wood were all indispensable. Fortunately, Chen Huaisheng's spiritual root was neutral, and the five elements could be tolerated, so it was okay, but if you want to reach the extreme, you need to have a higher attainment in the three attributes of water, fire and wood.
This requires starting from the usual accumulation and supplementing it bit by bit. It is difficult to practice thunder magic to the extreme with neutral spiritual power alone, and the progress will be very slow.
Spiritual food is the most important part, and it is also necessary to purify spiritual power in a certain direction during practice.
Chen Huaisheng also understood this, but before building the foundation, he was not qualified to consider so many details, but after building the foundation, he should consider it.
There is no need to talk about spiritual realm practice, but thunder magic will be his main direction in the future. The cultivation of the three attributes of water, fire and wood is the focus, and spiritual food is the most basic.
Now his fire attribute spiritual plants are relatively abundant, and some water attribute spiritual plants can be obtained in Yefenggou, but there are almost no wood attribute spiritual plants.
The demon vine is considered to be of wood attribute, but it is an offensive spiritual plant, not a food-replenishing spiritual plant.
Now I need to supplement the spiritual plants of the three attributes of water, fire and wood, so that I can continuously improve the spiritual power of the three attributes and support the practice of thunder magic.
"Junior sister is right, where in Bianjing City is suitable to buy such spiritual plant seeds?" Chen Huaisheng nodded.
"It depends on you. The three major markets, Yunzhong Miaofang, Wanxiang Zhengdian, and Taihe Dashi, each of which has its own background, namely Tianyun Sect, Wanxiang Sect, and Taihua Dao. In addition, Xixi Shop is not bad. It is backed by Huaxi Sword Sect. It is said that Dacheng Sect is also preparing to set up a market in Bianjing City, which will open during the Shangyuan Daohui,..."
The Kou family is also a wealthy family in Beijing, and they are very familiar with the situation in Beijing. Kou Qing has been in Beijing for more than four years, so he is naturally not unfamiliar, especially these markets are closely related to cultivators, and they usually have to go to these markets for transactions.
"I'm afraid the prices in these markets are quite high, right?" Chen Huaisheng asked.
"How should I put it? The prices of ordinary spiritual materials are still acceptable, but the unique or rare spiritual materials of each family are definitely not cheap." Kou Qing was realistic, "Of course, if you want to sell spiritual materials in these shops, as long as they are special and rare items, you can also sell them at a good price."
"So these markets are still quite fair." Chen Huaisheng laughed.
"Brother Huaisheng, in such a big city like Bianjing, there are not only one or two shops. Almost every one of the ten major sects has its own shop, and the competition is fierce. Even the big aristocratic families have their own shops, including our Kou family. However, the price-performance ratio of the Kou family shop is not as good as these big shops, so I suggest that you go to these big shops first. Of course, if you want to get a better deal, you can only go to the ghost market or the auction market."
Kou Qing's consideration for himself made Chen Huaisheng feel warm, "Then let's go and see, which one is the most cost-effective?"
"To say that these markets are large in scale and have a complete range of categories, but they also have their own strengths. Yunzhong Miaofang is famous for magic tools, Wanxiang Zhengdian is especially famous for talismans, Taihe Market has a wide variety of categories, many spiritual materials, and the prices are also acceptable. Xixipu has the best spiritual plants..." Kou Qing thought for a while, "Why not go to Xixipu first, and then to Taihe Market, anyway, the two are not far apart."
After agreeing on the location, the two walked away.
Xixipu is located on Zhonglin Street near the Bianhe River. Looking at the rows of shops and the courtyards inside, you can tell that this Xixipu is definitely not something that ordinary people can open.
If you don’t have enough background, you can’t run it even if you can afford it.
The Taoist who greeted guests at the door was very attentive. When he saw the two people coming, he knew they had purchasing power after a quick look.
These days, the cultivators with the most purchasing power are generally those in the middle stage of Qi Refining, the high stage of Qi Refining, and the foundation-building cultivators, especially those in the high stage of Qi Refining and the foundation-building cultivators.
Because the high stage of Qi Refining needs all kinds of spiritual materials, elixirs, and skills to impact the foundation-building, no matter which one, if their own sect cannot meet their needs, they will seek to buy them in the market.
And the foundation-building cultivators.
The foundation-building cultivators are the backbone of every sect. Those who have crossed the threshold of foundation-building are trustworthy characters in the sect, and the sect will not treat them badly.
As the main characters in the sect, improving their own spells, weapon cultivation, and talisman spells is their top priority. Otherwise, whether you are traveling or performing tasks, if you are not strong enough, you will fall into danger.
In improving their spiritual realm strength and combat effectiveness, the foundation-building cultivators will not be stingy with spending spirit stones.
So people at this level are willing to spend spirit stones, as long as you have the right goods.
Kou Qing's recommendation is still very pertinent. Xixipu is large in scale and has many varieties, especially in spiritual plants.
Chen Huaisheng saw that the Taiyin Baizhi, Fireweed, Ice Mushroom, Golden Flame Bean, Pure Yang Purple Ganoderma, etc. that he planted in Wolongling can basically be found, and after asking, the supply of these spiritual plants can be guaranteed.
It has to be said that this is the confidence of the super sect. Their spiritual fields and lands may be several times that of your Chonghua Sect, and there are special cultivators to be responsible for planting and cultivation, so the output is also very large and the quality can be guaranteed. In this regard, Chonghua Sect is still far behind.
It can be said that the number of Zifu Xianqing and foundation-building disciples in Chonghua Sect is not small now, at least it can be ranked around 20 among the sects, but compared with these super sects ranked in the top ten, the biggest gap is in these soft power, and it is not even comparable to 20% or 30% of their strength.
Although it is also trying to make up for it now, it is difficult to achieve this kind of strength without decades of deep cultivation and huge investment.
Chen Huaisheng himself no longer counted on the resources of the sect. He would rather spend a lot of money to save up for himself.
The natural conditions of Yunzhong Mountain are not bad. With the nourishment of Xuanhuang Divine Soil and Chiyan Yuanjiang, he has already had a lot of confidence in the fire-type spiritual plants. In addition, he has domesticated the red cloud flying deer, and has also started to domesticate the Tianyang mouse and the red-eyed exquisite rabbit. At least he can barely meet the needs of himself and the winged fire snake.
But in other aspects, it is still far behind. Ice-type spiritual plants are a branch of water-type spiritual plants. There are some foundations, but not enough, and wood-type spiritual plants are almost blank.
It is still far from satisfying the spiritual plants that can improve spiritual power, not to mention those offensive and defensive spiritual plants that are specially used for the production of magic tools or direct use.
"Do you need seeds of wood-type spiritual plants? Do you want to grow them yourself?"
The Daozhong who accompanied Chen Huaisheng and Kou Qing was very considerate. Before Chen Huaisheng spoke, he just walked quietly with him, without deliberately making noise, but once Chen Huaisheng showed interest, he immediately asked.
This made Chen Huaisheng and Kou Qing see what professionalism is.
"Well, do you have all kinds of spiritual plant seeds here?" Chen Huaisheng walked all the way here. This is a special seed area. He saw seeds of mainstream five-element spiritual plants such as Taiyin Baizhi, Binggu, Fusongyuanjun, Huoshen, Danxinhonglian, and Huolingcao, but he didn't see the niche seeds such as blue moss, red moss, and osmanthus marrow.
In the finished product area over there, he saw finished spiritual plants such as blue moss, red moss, and osmanthus marrow, which shows that Xixipu's business is still mainly based on finished products, which have the highest profit.
As for seeds, they should be a by-product. After all, no merchant wants customers to buy seeds to cultivate instead of buying finished products from them.
"Most of them are available, but some are not very popular or have low yields. If customers need them, they need to book in advance." The accompanying Dao Zhong said confidently: "Whatever is available for finished products, seeds are also available, but the price may not be so cost-effective."
"I need some spiritual plant seeds. Because it is too far from Bianjing, it is impossible to purchase them frequently. It is good to come once a year, so I hope to buy some." Chen Huaisheng deliberately pointed out that he was far away and made his intention clear, which made the other party feel at ease. Cultivating a competitor is definitely something the other party does not want.
