Chapter 89 Choosing merit
Zheng Fa received the life card, followed Han Qi out of the General Affairs Hall, and walked towards Scripture Repository.
He looked at Han Qi, whose face was still complicated, with confusion on his face.
Ever since I heard that Zheng Fa has one hundred talisman papers and two pieces of spiritual ink every month, this person has been acting inappropriately.
It seems that this additional reward is too generous.
"Junior Brother Zheng, you probably don't really realize what I mean when I say spiritual materials are expensive." Han Qi seemed to understand what he wanted to ask, explained.
Zheng Fa nodded.
"In my Nine Mountains Sect, a piece of spiritual ink costs at least one Spirit Stone, and a hundred pieces of talisman paper are almost the same as one Spirit Stone."
Zheng Fa After calculation, the materials I get every month are three yuan Spirit Stone - three times the monthly salary.
"How much gold is that Spirit Stone worth?" Zheng Fa asked.
"The ratio for the General Affairs Hall to acquire Spirit Stone is two hundred taels of gold per Spirit Stone..."
Zheng Fa did the math quickly.
What I get in a month is worth almost four Spirit Stone, which is eight hundred taels of gold.
Are you actually so rich?
"General Affairs Hall is cheating fools! The price of two hundred taels of gold was a thousand years ago. Now on Marketplace, whether you can exchange four hundred gold for one piece depends on your luck!" Han Qi sneered.
"Is it so expensive?"
Zheng Fa, who grew up in poverty, admitted that he was shocked by the prices.
"It will only be more expensive! Spirit Stone has always been in short supply on Marketplace." Han Qi explained, "Any slightly higher-end spiritual material Spirit Treasure can almost only be purchased with Spirit Stone. The gold is just because the quantity of Spirit Stone is not enough. I and other low-level monks have no choice but to choose."
Zheng Fa understood it and understood what Han Qi meant.
The price of the Immortal Sect sounds like a dual currency system--
Immortal Sect probably used to only trade with Spirit Stone, but Spirit Stone was unable to produce large amounts due to the decline of Spiritual Qi, which resulted in a shortage of currency in the market and could only be made up for with gold.
But the spiritual materials are also insufficient - is this a coincidence?
Therefore, the price of Spirit Stone and the spiritual materials took off hand in hand. As for whether disciples like Immortal Sect can afford it, they don't care.
Nowadays, among the high-end spiritual materials in the Immortal Sect, we still only recognize Spirit Stone.
The things that gold can buy are limited, and because Spirit Stone is becoming less and less, the exchange ratio between the two is becoming more and more outrageous.
Scripture Repository is not far from the General Affairs Hall. The two of them walked half a stick of incense and arrived.
This place is a little more plain than Zheng Fa thought - it's a three-story building, neither tall nor gorgeous, and dusty.
But there were quite a few people coming and going.
"Take out the life card." Han Qi told Zheng Fa: "With the life card of the outer disciple, you can receive a Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Method for free."
Zheng Fa was refreshed and followed Han Qi into the small building.
At the entrance of the first floor, there was a wooden table. Behind the wooden table sat a man in his twenties and thirties. When he saw the two people coming in, he was quite enthusiastic.
"New disciple?" He walked out from behind the wooden table and said, "Come to receive Cultivation Method?"
"Yes." Zheng Fa replied.
"I can tell at a glance that junior brother, you are extremely talented and have a good foundation. If you have a good technique, you will definitely become the mainstay of my Nine Mountains Sect in the future!"
This senior brother looked at Zheng Fa with admiration in his eyes.
"Senior brother, I'm so grateful..."
Zheng Fa always felt that this person looked at him like he was looking at a fat sheep.
"That's right..." The senior brother frowned, as if he was worried about Zheng Fa: "We are full of the Nine Mountains Sect Cultivation Methods. If we can't choose the right Cultivation Method, then I'm afraid it will affect your Dao Path!"
"So what does senior brother mean?"
"Senior brother, I have been working at Scripture Repository for more than three years, and I know the characteristics of Cultivation Method very well... As long as you are willing to make me your friend, junior brother, I will definitely find the most suitable Cultivation Method for you!"
"..." Zheng Fa glanced at Han Qi. Han Qi was looking at a white cloud in the sky outside the building. It seemed that the shape of the cloud was full of Daoist charm, which suddenly made him realize something.
Got it, convention!
"Then how much is this friendship, senior brother, worth?"
"Fifty taels of gold."
"Bah!" Zheng Fa hadn't spoken yet. Han Qi, who was still enlightened just now, immediately jumped to his feet. "Don't you dare to talk about the morality of the world! At fifty taels, you can still shout out?"
"... Who is this?"
"As if I haven't worked at Scripture Repository! It used to cost only ten taels of gold, but now you want fifty taels? I thought I was a shady person who wanted 15 taels of gold before, but I didn't expect that there was someone even more shady than me!"
Zheng Fa glanced at him.
"It turns out to be senior brother!" As soon as he said this, the senior brother Scripture Repository understood, and the smile on his face faded, "Twelve taels was the old almanac, and now it's not like senior brother Scripture Repository doesn't understand prices!"
"Okay, let's choose ourselves!"
Han Qi waved his hand and pulled Zheng Fa directly into Scripture Repository.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Han."
Zheng Fa I also saw clearly just now that this person was not willing to offend others - until the other person opened his mouth.
"Senior Sister Zhang asked me to take care of you, can I see you suffering like this?" Han Qi snorted, "These newcomers are too greedy and have broken the rules! The atmosphere in the family is getting worse day by day!"
"?"
No... don't you have a share of the credit for this trend?
To Zheng Fa's surprise, the first floor of Scripture Repository was actually filled with paper books, not Jade Slip - he soon understood that people like Jade Slip couldn't read them.
The Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method and Spirit Mountain Method that Nine Mountains Patriarch gave him before were recorded in Jade Slip.
He tried them all, but had no reaction.
"What are you Spirit Root?"
"Fire-Wood Dual-Spirit Root."
"Then come over here." Han Qi led him to a row of bookshelves and said, "Qi Refining Realm Cultivation Method Except for special Spirit Root, it is usually cultivation Five Elements Cultivation Method. You are Fire-Wood Dual-Spirit Root, wood makes fire, and you are considered top grade among Dual-Spirit Root. It is best to practice a fire Qi Refinement Realm method."
"Senior brother, do you have any recommendations?"
"I Nine Mountains Sect have many fire element Cultivation Method, it depends on what type you want." Han Qi seemed to be really familiar with this Scripture Repository: "The one that is most suitable for alchemy is <Blazing Yang Formula>, the most suitable for weapon refining is <Fire-Refining True Scripture>, the most suitable for fighting is <True Fire Demon-Refining Method>, this Cultivation Method is the most powerful, and there are many people to choose..."
He talked about five or six books eloquently, and Zheng Fa also felt dizzy listening to it.
"Senior brother, I don't care about the power... is there anything that can be repaired quickly and safely?"
"..."
Han Qi looked at him in silence.
"What's wrong?"
"... Your personality is very different from Senior Sister Zhang." Han Qi looked puzzled. "How can she like you?"
Zheng Fa understood, he was not so tactfully scolding himself for being a coward.
"... is there any?"
"<Scarlet Firmament Formula>!"
Zheng Fa thought about it for a while, took over the books that Senior Brother Han just talked about, and read them again, and found that he did explain them in detail.
These fire attribute Cultivation Method do have their own characteristics.
Only <Scarlet Firmament Formula> is the most neutral and peaceful among the fire element Cultivation Method. Although there is no additional bonus, the chance of highlighting a Qi Deviation is low.
The training speed is also considered above average.
"That's it!"
Zheng Fa put it away with satisfaction <Scarlet Firmament Formula>.
He took it out of his pocket and took out ten gold coins and handed them to Han Qi who was standing aside.
"This is?"
"Routine!"
"Junior brother, you are really annoying!" Han Qi grabbed ten taels of gold. "Senior Sister Zhang, I'm convinced by this look!"
