Chapter 20: Mission Area (1/2)

He glanced at Yu Banxia, who was still picking at the bookshelf.

After all, there was some conflict between what to choose. If they took a profound technique, they might not be able to learn it in a short time since they had just entered the Qi Refinement realm.

However, if they chose a spell that was too basic, then the value of this reward would be too low. They would be wasting this opportunity.

Fortunately, Jiang Li was less troubled in this aspect.

He touched the small pouch in his arms. There were 21 spirit stones lying quietly inside.

The Qi Nourishing Pill cost two spirit stones per bottle, and the Qi Recovery Pill cost one spirit stone per bottle. He used the Qi Nourishing Pill and the Qi Recovery Pill to exchange for six spirit stones with Yan Hong.

Adding on the 15 spirit stones he had, he had only managed to gather 21 spirit stones.

After he had made his breakthrough, Yan Hong had helped to ask around about the prices of spell techniques in the Scripture Storage Pavilion. Some of the most basic spell techniques of the five elements even cost less than ten spirit stones.

Jiang Li saw that it was indeed the case.

When he was selecting the [Zombie Puppet Technique] earlier, he was aiming for the most expensive one.

Now, on the other hand, the Yin-Wood attribute bookshelves were the exact opposite. He looked at the lowest price row. There was nothing he could do about it. He could not afford anything of a higher grade.

Similarly, without much hesitation, Jiang Li selected a technique from both sides and walked to the counter to hand it to Elder Li.

The Scripture Storage Pavilion's Elder Li raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Li.

”20 spirit stones.”

Jiang Li's funds immediately shriveled, leaving only a single spirit stone lying there.

Elder Li casually put away the spirit stones. This small amount of spirit stones was simply too insignificant to him. He handed over three jade slips and placed them on the counter.

Jiang Li was already in the Qi Refinement realm and could already use his spiritual qi to activate the jade slip.

He sat down on the mat next to him and placed the three jade slips on his forehead one after another. He slowly inserted his spiritual qi into the jade slips according to the techniques he had learned in class. A large amount of information about the spell techniques flowed into his mind like liquid.

After using three jade slips in a row, he still felt a little dizzy, but he no longer felt dizzy for the first time.

After he handed the jade slip back, Yu Banxia finally chose his spell technique.

”Bye.”

”Bye.”

With tacit understanding, they did not exchange information about any of the techniques they had chosen. After leaving the inner sect area, they parted amicably.

Jiang Li did not return to the dormitory to continue cultivating, nor did he rush to try out the cultivation method. Instead, he arrived at the function area of the outer sect.

The function area was the area where the outer sect disciples had the most daily activities, such as the trading area and mission area.

Jiang Li first walked into the trading area.

The trading area was huge, but the planning inside was very messy.

Other than the rows of shops with shop fronts, there were also many disciples who laid a piece of cloth on the ground and sat down by the side of the road, setting up stalls like the night market in his previous life.

This caused the outer sect trading area to become even more bustling and chaotic.

The prices of the goods were lower than those in the shops. This attracted many disciples who were short of money.

From time to time, disciples would come forward and haggle.

Sometimes, Jiang Li would be one of them. But most of the time, he would wander aimlessly in the trading area.

Of course, he was not bored.

With every step he took, his Level 3 appraisal skill would be thrown around crazily.

In fact, the majority of the items on the ground here were ordinary miscellaneous items. The weapons used by mortal warriors, such as sabers, spears, staffs, and so on, were at most of better quality.

There were also some animal fur, bones, internal organs, and other biological materials. Most of them were obtained by the outer sect disciples when they went out on missions.

Medicinal pills, artifacts, incomplete manuals, and other cultivator items could be seen here. However, the quantity was quite low. Furthermore, nearly half of them were either broken or fake.

No one was a fool. Things that were slightly better and had value were kept and used by themselves. It was very rare to see them sold here.

However, the security in the outer sect trading area was pretty good. All the disciples placed their items on the ground but nobody tried to steal or snatch anything.

After all, the existence of the Law Enforcement Hall was a great deterrent to them.

”Yan Hong, how's business today?” Jiang Li walked to the depths and saw his chubby friend.

Yan Hong also took up an ordinary stall in the trading area. He was very careful in doing some business.

There were not many things on his cloth. A few basic medicinal pills and a few basic spiritual materials were goods that were commonly sold on the streets. Jiang Li had seen them at least twenty times along the way, and there were even fewer people who went up to ask for the price.

”Haha, Jiang Li, it's you. I've gained quite a bit today. I plan to wait a bit longer and officially open my shop next month.”

Yan Hong waved a booklet in his hand. It was filled with names and numbers.

Of course, he was not talking about gains as in spirit stones, but these numbers instead.

Yan Hong had been in this market for more than ten days. From the moment he figured out the rules, he casually set up a stall and sat there.

As for their 19 lackeys, they were also called over. Every day, they would go around the entire trading area asking about the price and haggling. Finally, they would gather at Yan Hong's place for him to register and tabulate.
