The rain is coming.
Su Qing feels a little heavy.
These days, although he has been forgetting to eat and sleep while refining, he occasionally goes out to buy materials and hears a few words about the current situation of Forward Camp.
As the monsters occupied Dwarf Mountain Defense Line, they seemed to be digesting the fruits of victory and did not immediately attack Forward Camp.
Thinking about it, people are afraid of monsters and monsters, and monsters are also afraid of people.
If something had not happened to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range and they had no way of survival, they would not have gone down the mountain to fight Human Cultivator.
Now that I have a piece of Low Mountain that contains branches of spiritual veins to support my practice, there is no need for the monsters to fight to the death with Human Cultivator for the time being.
But this situation will obviously not last long.
As monsters and beasts descend from the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range one after another, the resources currently occupied cannot support more and more monsters.
The monsters will definitely look forward again!
"The calm before the storm, I don't know how long it will last."
Su Qing whispered to himself, guarding Forward Camp is what Cloud Mountain Disciple needs to worry about, so he shouldn't worry about it blindly.
As the so-called Outer Disciple, which only has a short establishment and does not even have basic benefits, Su Qing consciously joined Stall Area.
He cupped his hands towards a middle-aged stall owner with a square face and a thin coat, and asked with a smile:
"My Daoist friends are polite. I want to set up a stall here. I wonder who is in charge of this place and what is the rent? What are the rules?"
White Cloud Market Town, or the rules of Market in the world, as long as a large-scale trading place is established, there must be strong people to collect rent taxes and fees, and Forward Camp will certainly not be exempt from this rule.
The middle-aged stall owner sells some simple and mysterious items. If he is allowed to sell and boast, every item in this stall has a great origin. It may be a secret treasure produced by Dang Neng Cave, or a sacred relic from ancient times.
But in fact, among a hundred items, maybe only one has some value. Naturally, few of Forward Camp's Rogue Cultivator veterans will fall for such a half-cheated business.
Therefore, his business was extremely cold. When he heard Su Qing asked, he replied calmly:
"This area is currently under the control of Rat King Team. The rent is ten Spirit Crystals per day. As for the rules, there are no rules except not to buy or sell by force!"
"Rat King Team? Niu Ya escaped back?"
Su Qing wondered, Dwarf Mountain Defense Line collapsed, the original four Great Hunt teams were the first to bear the brunt, and they all suffered heavy losses. Niu Ya has not returned to Forward Camp, and everyone thought he was dead.
"It doesn't matter to me whether Niu Ya is dead or not, anyway, most of their team has returned, and they are all War Cultivators who are good at fighting.
Cloud Mountain Sect wants them to work hard and hand over this area to them, we can just pay Spirit Crystals!"
The middle-aged stall owner, whose business was not doing well and might not even be able to earn back the rent, had no patience to chat with Su Qing anymore, so he tightened his thin coat and stopped talking.
Seeing him like this, Su Qing realized belatedly that it was already the beginning of winter.
But even with the onset of winter, the weather has turned cooler. As a monk, it's not like I can't resist the cold wind.
He removed the cold-resistant effect of Dust-Repelling Dharma Robe from his body and faced the cold.
I just feel like my exposed skin is being scraped with a knife, and I turn on the Dharma Robe effect again.
This kind of cold air is definitely not caused by normal seasonal changes. No wonder along the way, I saw many Rogue Cultivator wearing thin jackets.
It is better to wear Dharma Robe, which is more decent. Su Qing secretly says that Spirit Crystals is more comfortable.
He handed over his hands and wanted to say goodbye to the middle-aged stall owner and went to look for the Stall Area manager, but unexpectedly, he glanced at the stall owner's stall and found a special object.
This object seemed to be a broken fragment on a stone wall, about the size of a palm, in clear gray color, with a headless and tailless black line on it, like part of a rune.
"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this Dao Heaven Talisman Wall?"
The middle-aged stall owner makes a living from this, and he has such a sophisticated eye. When Su Qing looked at the broken wall, he put on a smile, leaned over and asked.
"It's just a broken wall, how dare you call it Dao Heaven Talisman Wall?" Su Qing sneered.
The so-called Dao Heaven Talisman Wall is rumored to be a mural Tongtian that records numerous patterns.
If you can understand all the Dao patterns on the wall of this talisman, then Hundred Arts of Cultivation will be completely clear. If you set up the ladder Tongtian, you can reach the top of the blue clouds by raising your feet, so it is called Dao Tian.
If this talisman really fell off the wall, even just a piece of broken wall would attract Golden Core Venerable to fight for it. How could it be casually placed on the stall by a Rogue Cultivator.
The middle-aged stall owner also knew that bragging too outrageously would not fool anyone, so he continued:
"This wall is not a real wall, but it is a real work that Immortal Isle Upper Kingdom Nascent Soul True Person, Tier 4 Talisman Master Lin Shanlu copied the real wall.
Even though we can't fathom its true meaning, even if I'm lucky enough to collect it, it's still a beautiful thing!"
Lin Shanlu, Western Sea Cultivation World is a person who is known to all monks. It is said that he once obtained a piece of Dao Heaven Talisman Wall real wall, from which he understood the Tao pattern, and he has been out of control since then.
As a talisman master, he is able to overwhelm the West Sea. One talisman can calm the sea for millions of miles, making the Penglai Immortal Kingdom where he lives become one of the three major immortal kingdoms in the West Sea.
If this person really copied the real wall, this broken wall would be priceless.
After all, although it cannot be compared with the real Dao pattern broken wall, the imitation brings together Nascent Soul True Person's understanding of this Dao pattern.
For low-level monks like them, it is easier to understand and may be more practical than the real wall.
But if it is truly a copy, how can it be that Qi Refining Rogue Cultivator can be taken out casually?
In Su Qing's opinion, this piece of broken wall must be that Penglai Sect disciple, who had seen the real-life works produced by the elders of the master's sect, and some of them, who were short of money, imitated cats and tigers by themselves, and then spread the word.
When it was passed into the hands of Rogue Cultivator, this broken wall had gone through countless copies, and it was already far different from the original real wall.
"Three pieces of Spirit Crystals, this piece of broken stone is needed for the trail. The material is pretty good, but it is suitable to melt it with Refining Puppets."
Su Qing squeezed the broken wall indifferently and said without caring.
The middle-aged stall owner's face turned cold.
"Fellow Daoist, are you joking? Three Spirit Crystalss for such a treasure are simply insulting it. Isn't this treasure, which combines the mysteries of Ancient Dao Pattern and the Daoist Yuan Ying's insights, worth ten Spirit Crystalss?"
"Five!" Su Qing turned around to leave.
"Okay, then six, and the extra one should be used to honor Master Lin!"
Six Spirit Crystals were exchanged for a piece of broken wall that looked like an imitation. Su Qing didn't care about this small amount of money.
What he didn't expect was that the middle-aged stall owner took out another piece of broken wall that was exactly the same before he had gone far.
"The slightest difference in the Tao pattern makes a thousand miles. Fake Wall only has its shape and no Tao rhyme. Others want to get Enlightened Dao Pattern from this Fake Wall. It is impossible. I wonder if I can get Proficiency!"
Su Qing wants to give it a try, but if he fails, he will only lose six Spirit Crystals. If he succeeds, he will have the possibility to master the Dao pattern!
There is no urgency about this matter, right now it is more important to set up the stall and get out the inventory.
