Chapter 132: Street Stalls on Passenger Ship
Lin Changqing used the jade token in his hand as a credential to open Room A15, and found that the layout was the same as Chen Ziya's room, so he lost interest in exploring.
However, I still had to check the room carefully first to see if there were any surveillance arrays or other things that could monitor me. Fortunately, after searching around, I found nothing.
Sitting in the living room, thinking about this destination, Jinzhou Prefecture, according to the current speed of travel, it will take about four or five days to reach a provincial capital, plus one or two days for loading and unloading goods and waiting for guests.
It would take about a month to reach Tongshan Village. Fortunately, Lin Changqing and his team were not in a hurry.
It is no wonder that few foundation-building cultivators would choose to travel on this kind of passenger ship, it is really too slow.
Unless it is a relatively long journey, such as crossing multiple spheres of influence, this method is the safest.
However, Lin Changqing has no plans to take such a long journey for the time being, so it is enough to just learn about it.
Lin Changqing didn't dare to use up all his energy on the passenger ship, so he had to reduce the time he spent practicing the Thunder Sutra.
But it was not long after the Chen hour, it was still early and not the time to practice the Thunder Sutra.
The group of purple crystal scorpions in the Sanbao Spirit Beast Bracelet had just been fed last night, and there were also ice crystals and black crystal rocks in the space where they were for them to chew on, so there was no need to pay attention to them for now.
It needs to be let out on the first day of the new year to get some fresh air. After all, it is used to flying freely, and it is not good to stay in the space of the spirit beast bracelet all the time.
With a thought, Chuyi appeared in front of Lin Changqing. Seeing his master, Chuyi became excited, but unfortunately the space in the living room was relatively small and he couldn't fly.
Lin Changqing held it and smoothed its feathers, while Chuyi used his head to butt Lin Changqing. This can be considered an interaction between the master and servant!
Now Chuyi is already a late first stage spirit beast, but it’s a pity that he has only been in the late stage for a short time.
It’s only three or four months, less than half a year. Lin Changqing really doesn’t dare to improve its strength. Let’s wait for a while!
After playing for a while, I remembered that I still had a white soul-seeking rat, so I gave it some Hundred Flowers Soul-Drunken Wine to heal its soul injuries. A few days have passed, so it should wake up!
When I probed my spiritual consciousness into the Sanbao Spirit Beast Bracelet, I saw a white mouse sleeping soundly in a small space. Could it be that it hasn’t woken up yet?
Lin Changqing was a little confused, so he took it out of the spirit beast bracelet and held it in his hand.
After feeling the spiritual pressure emanating from it, I found that it was already at the late first stage, proving that it had successfully absorbed and digested all of the Hundred Flowers Intoxicating Wine.
I poked its belly with my finger. The little guy was quite alert. He woke up immediately when he felt someone poking him and looked at the man and the bird in front of him.
I couldn't help but shiver. The look of this natural enemy was so unfriendly. It was staring at me like I was food. It was so scary!
Lin Changqing didn't care about that and said directly to it: "Little guy, has the injury on your soul healed? If it is healed, you will bark four times, if not, you will bark twice."
Soon the little guy called out four times. He knew that this golden-winged bird was the human's spiritual animal, and that the human wanted to sign a contract with it. He also wanted to sign it, so that he could ensure that he would not be eaten by his natural enemy.
"Now that you have recovered, I will sign a contract with you. Are you ready?"
The little guy raised his two front paws and squatted on his two hind paws, nodding at Lin Changqing. He looked quite cute.
Lin Changqing laughed. This little guy looked quite smart.
At that moment, he began to chant the spell of the master-servant contract, then used the golden needle to prick his finger, forcing out a drop of blood containing his own spiritual energy, and dripped it on the little guy's forehead. It was quickly absorbed into the little guy's sea of consciousness, and he could immediately sense the little guy's existence in his mind, and through the contract, he could also feel the little guy's waves of submission.
Since it’s already your own mouse, let’s give it a name. It’s all white and furry, so let’s call it Furball!
I conveyed my intention to it through the contract, and unexpectedly it agreed immediately. It looked quite happy and kept jumping up and down on the table.
In fact, it is like this. Lin Changqing is willing to raise spiritual beasts that do not consume many resources, but he does not want those that require a lot of resources.
Now it is very stressful for Lin Changqing to raise this group of purple crystal scorpions. Every other day, he has to gnaw on a portion of first-grade high-quality spirit crystal.
Each portion is worth about 150 spirit stones, which means 2250 spirit stones a month and 27000 spirit stones a year. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford it.
Now, not counting those few high-quality spirit stones, Lin Changqing's entire fortune is only about 65000 spirit stones, which can only support the consumption of the purple crystal scorpion group for about two and a half years.
They are simply huge consumers of resources. It is not an exaggeration to say that they grow up eating spirit stones.
Moreover, if they are promoted in the future, they will definitely have to be replaced with higher-level spirit crystals, and the consumption will definitely be even greater by then. It is really a bit unaffordable to support them.
Therefore, if another big resource consumer comes along, Lin Changqing might go bankrupt directly.
After thinking about it, the first grade is the best. You can be self-reliant and consume less energy. When you advance to the second grade in the future, you may be able to earn spirit stones to support your family.
Lu Youqiang's family is also very good. Anyway, they just need to eat grass and can help with work, such as promoting the growth of spiritual medicines and plants. By the way, they can also work part-time as spiritual therapists. They are simply the representatives of good employees in the world of cultivation!
Now there is another spirit-seeking mouse fur ball, which looks like a spirit beast that can work and doesn't eat too much.
When we get to places like the Qingyun Mountains in the future, Maoqiu will be of great use. Lin Changqing likes this kind of spiritual beast the most.
Considering that it had just joined Lin Changqing's pet family today, he decided to reward it with a Soul-Nourishing Pill. It must have eaten this thing before, so it held it in its hands and started to chew it hard.
Now the passenger ship is already flying in the sky. It is still early, so Lin Changqing wants to go to the first floor of the passenger ship to take a look. Just now, when he saw someone setting up a stall, Lin Changqing was already itching to go there.
Now that we have time, let's go down and take a look! He took Chuyi back to his spirit beast bracelet. As for Maoqiu, he hesitated for a moment, and finally put it in his arms, telling it not to make any sound.
Then he went out and opened the restriction on the door with the jade token in his hand. After taking a look at the tightly closed door of Jialiu next door, Lin Changqing thought for a while and still didn't call Chen Ziya.
I went down from the top floor to the first floor. As soon as I entered the first floor, I immediately felt it became noisy. At a glance, I saw more than a hundred stalls. There were also many monks visiting the stalls, always two or three hundred people.
Lin Changqing liked this kind of atmosphere the most and immediately started to visit the first stall from the entrance.
The stall owner is a middle-aged monk, and you can smell a faint fragrance of elixir when you get close to him.
The things he was selling were also several common elixirs, and he seemed to be an alchemist. Unfortunately, Lin Changqing would not buy elixirs from casual practitioners outside.
After walking a few steps, he saw another stall selling talismans and supplies for making talismans. Lin Changqing stopped and looked around the stall. In the end, he bought several dozen first-grade, top-quality talisman papers, thinking that this thing was a consumable and no matter how much he bought, his mother would use it up.
The next stall sold various sundries, including low-level magic tools, storage bags, piles of empty jade boxes, jade bottles, and so on. Lin Changqing had a lot of these on him, so he was naturally not interested and did not stop.
