Chapter 8: Debt-free, practicing new magic

The day's practice time passed quickly.

Today is the deadline agreed with Shopkeeper Tong. Chen Ze got up in the morning and practiced Xuantian Lu once to ensure that there was enough spiritual energy in his Dantian.

When everything was ready, Chen Ze left the room and locked the door.

He didn't plan to wait for Shopkeeper Tong to come to him. He decided to return the spirit stone in advance, which was a worry.

Moreover, he planned to stop by and see if he could find cheaper elixir, or elixir seeds.

After killing the thief yesterday, he also harvested 5 spiritual stones. He now has 15 low-grade spiritual stones on his body.

Coupled with the 200 kilograms of spiritual rice stored yesterday, it shouldn't be a problem to buy some cheap elixirs.

Not long after, Chen Ze came to Tongfu Restaurant, "Well, this place is very familiar. It seems that I have been here many times before."

After glancing at the sign of Tongfu Restaurant, Chen Ze walked in directly.

It's still early, it's not time to eat yet, and there aren't many customers in the store.

When the waiter saw a customer coming in, he immediately came up to greet the customer.

But after seeing the person clearly, the waiter who had greeted him with a smile immediately changed his expression.

"You still dare to come, do you have money to drink?"

Chen Ze glanced at the waiter and wondered, "When did a mortal dare to talk to an immortal cultivator like this? The original owner was in such a miserable state."

Chen Ze didn't care about the waiter's sarcasm. He was just trying to take advantage of others. He asked directly: "Is shopkeeper Tong here? I'm here to pay back the money."

"Ah?" The waiter looked at Chen Ze in disbelief.

"I'm looking for Shopkeeper Tong." Chen Ze said impatiently.

The waiter confirmed that he heard correctly, but still looked down upon Chen Ze, an alcoholic, and said unhurriedly: "Wait."

The waiter went to the backyard to call shopkeeper Tong, and Chen Ze stood there waiting.

After a while, shopkeeper Tong and the waiter walked out of the backyard.

When the waiter called Shopkeeper Tong, he had already told Shopkeeper Tong that it was Chen Ze who came to return the spirit stone.

Although shopkeeper Tong had already made plans in his mind, when he saw Chen Ze, he still returned to his usual appearance and looked at Chen Ze with a smile.

"Here we are, I didn't expect you to keep your word. You said five days, five days."

"It's not that I owe you the spiritual stone. I feel bad about it. What's more, you gave me time to collect the spiritual stone. Naturally, I can't break my promise." Chen Ze also responded to shopkeeper Tong with a smile.

Then, Chen Ze took out 10 spiritual stones from his arms and handed them to Shopkeeper Tong.

"Here are 10 spiritual stones, thank you!"

Shopkeeper Tong took the spirit stone with a smile, "Okay, I'll keep the spirit stone. It's still early. Do you want two drinks?"

"No more drinking, quit." Chen Ze said with a smile.

"Quit?" Shopkeeper Tong didn't believe that an alcoholic could quit drinking.

Chen Ze nodded and said with a smile: "I'm really quitting. Shopkeeper Tong is busy, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, Chen Ze turned around and left Tongfu Restaurant. He would never come to this place again.

Watching Chen Ze leave, shopkeeper Tong, who had been smiling just now, had a gloomy look on his face.

After a while, Chen Ze had already walked away, and the subordinate who had been staring at Chen Ze walked into Tongfu Restaurant, "Shopkeeper, just let him go like this?"

"Haha, it's broad daylight, and there are patrols from the City Lord's Mansion outside. What do you want to do?

He's just a drunkard. He can't run away. Continue to monitor him, find an opportunity to catch him, and send him directly to the mine. "

"Yes." His subordinate agreed sternly. He had wanted to do this for a long time, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again.

"You think everything will be fine if you return the spirit stone? The miners I like can't run away. Just work hard for me and mine." Shopkeeper Tong looked at the direction Chen Ze left and muttered to himself.

...

After returning the spirit stone, Chen Ze was strolling around the market relaxedly.

He can't afford to spend money in those shops, but he can still visit the stalls set up by casual repairmen on the roadside.

However, after shopping around, Chen Ze found that those elixirs were still too expensive. He still couldn't afford them even if they started with 10 spiritual stones.

There is no way, no one will pick the elixir that is not old enough, and if picked, it has no medicinal value, so no one will sell it.

However, Chen Ze came to Taobao with a purpose.

He still found a stall selling cheap elixir seeds.

It's just that the seeds of the elixir are sold very cheaply.

For the price of one spiritual stone, Chen Ze bought ten kinds of elixir seeds.

The casual cultivator who sells elixir seeds introduced Chen Ze in detail what elixir each seed is.

It's a pity that Chen Ze has too little experience and can't tell whether what Sanxiu said is true.

However, Chen Ze could still feel that there was a faint layer of spiritual energy surrounding each elixir seed.

Even if it wasn't what the casual cultivator introduced, it would definitely be a magical medicine when it comes out.

The spiritual fields in the space of all things have time to accelerate. It doesn’t matter what kind of seeds they are, as long as they can grow elixirs.

Anyway, he still had enough spiritual rice seeds left, and it only took 50 days to slowly sell the spiritual rice to collect 100 spiritual stones.

It just so happens that I don't have to worry about food and drink now, but I still have to focus on improving my strength. There is no problem in breaking through the first level of cultivation in 50 days.

Chen Ze spent 1 piece of spiritual stone to buy 10 kinds of elixir seeds. He was very satisfied with the price, and so was the stall owner.

After collecting the money and goods, Chen Ze took the elixir seeds and walked towards a stall he had seen before.

Just now, I saw people selling various spells at this stall, most of which were basic spells, and they were not expensive.

Before, I wanted to sell spiritual medicine, so I didn't dare to spend spiritual stones carelessly.

Now that the spiritual medicine seeds are in hand, I naturally have to go and spend some.

When he came to the stall selling spells, Chen Ze didn't waste any words and directly picked up the three spell books he had liked before.

Breath Containment, Earth Shield, and Heart Piercing.

These three spells are the most basic spells. Breath Containment is used to restrain breath. It is a must-have spell for cultivators to explore the monster forest.

Earth Shield is an earth-based defensive spell. Chen Ze happened to have a low-grade earth-based spiritual root, and he was also lacking a defensive spell.

Heart Piercing is an offensive spell. Although the power of the Ignition Spell doubled after the upgrade, one more attack method means one more means of fighting.

"Daoyou, how much are these three spells?" Chen Ze asked casually. He had already taken a fancy to these three spells, but he couldn't show it, otherwise he would definitely be ripped off.

The stall owner looked at the three spell books that Chen Ze had chosen, which were very ordinary, and said directly: "2 spirit stones per book, a total of 6 spirit stones."

"Can you make it cheaper? You see, I have chosen the most common spells. How about 4 spirit stones?" Chen Ze only had the last 4 spirit stones left in his hand.

"Okay, take 4 spirit stones." The casual cultivator stall owner said happily.

These spells are only useful for beginners like Chen Ze, and these three spells can be copied again. As long as they can be sold, it's fine. It's also profitable to save 2 spirit stones.

Chen Ze paid 4 spirit stones, collected the three spell books with satisfaction, and left eagerly. He couldn't wait to go back and start practicing.
