"Fellow Daoist, I picked quite a lot of Phoenix Feather Grass today. Do you want some more?"

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side. He turned around and saw that it was the stall owner, Old Ninth Nie, who looked like an old farmer.

Xu Wen quickly glanced at his stall and chuckled. He shook his head and strode away.

Even if he didn't have any, Old Nine's stall, which didn't even have a single treasure light, wasn't his cup of tea.

"This silly bird, why does it seem to be smarter?"

Looking at Xu Wen's receding figure, Old Nine muttered in a low voice in confusion.

The yellow-faced man seemed to have heard his words. He glanced at him without showing any emotion, but he did not say anything. He turned his head and continued to greet the guests.

When he got home, he closed the doors and windows, untied the bundle of water candles, and picked out five from the hundreds of water candles.

Under the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, the other Water Candles did not have any treasure light. They were just ordinary unranked feys, but these five Water Candles were glowing with an eye-catching gray treasure light.

The Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique was fully invested into it, and the treasure light suddenly disappeared. A message appeared in Xu Wen's mind:

Ice Pattern Water Candle, a mutated level one Water Candle.

There was only a name, not even a function or usage, as if he didn't care to introduce it, but Xu Wen was very happy.

Water Candles were ordinary spiritual plants that could be planted on a large scale. They were not very valuable and could not even be considered as Level 1 spiritual items. They could only be used to make low-level spiritual incense.

After advancing to the first rank, it could not only be used to make spiritual incense, but also had many other functions. Its value would increase by dozens of times.

With the addition of the mutation, the price of the Ice-patterned Water Candle would definitely be higher.

When the two types of water candles were placed together, there was almost no difference in length, thickness, and flexibility.

After a long time of careful comparison, he discovered that the leaf edge of the Icy Water Candle was surrounded by a faint, twisted white line, like a crack on thin ice.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, even if he had discovered these ice patterns, he would have thought that this Water Candle was sick or had been attacked by insects. He would never have thought that it was a mutation.

With joy in his heart, he wrapped up the five Water Candles separately and tied up the bundle of Water Candles again. He rested for a while and waited until dawn before rushing out.

I said that I had left early, and there were even early pedestrians. It was different from ordinary people. Although it was only early in the morning, there were already many pedestrians rushing outside.

Xu Wen greeted the people he knew along the way and headed toward the center of Green Maple City.

The closer they got to the center of the city, the more shops there were. The area they occupied was larger, and the decorations were more magnificent. The aura of the people who entered and exited the shops was also more profound.

From afar, he saw a shop with the word "Zhou" painted on the banner. He strode forward.

"Little Brother Xu, you're so early today!"

The waiter who was standing at the door greeted him when he saw him.

Usually, if there was anything that wasn't too expensive, Xuwen would sell it to this shop. After a while, both parties were very familiar with each other.

Looking at the water candle in his hand, the waiter couldn't help but laugh,

"Little brother, although we collect Water Candles here, we only collect them in large quantities of dozens of bundles. You only have so little…"

"Insensible fellow, go and pour a cup of spiritual tea!"

Without waiting for Xu Wen to reply, the shopkeeper who was arranging the goods inside walked out. He sized up Xu Wen a few times and cupped his hands.

"Congratulations, young friend, for stepping onto the path of Dao. Today, no matter what Fellow Daoist brings me, I want it!"

After saying that, he called Xu Wen to walk in.

" Fellow Daoist!?"

The waiter at the side was still a little confused. He looked at Xu Wen's back and rubbed his head. After a long time, he said in disbelief,

"He has formed the Qi Condensation Technique?"

The waiter had also been working hard to form the qi condensation technique. Although he had the support of his uncle, he had never succeeded. He did not expect that this incomparably shabby Xu Wen would actually succeed in one day.

Putting aside the spiritual tea handed over by the waiter, Xu Wen took out the package with the Ice-patterned Water Candle wrapped in it. He carefully opened it and pushed it in front of the shopkeeper.

Zhou Yuncai was stunned at first, then he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly picked up the Ice Pattern Water Candle and observed it carefully.

The more he looked, the more surprised he became. After a long time, he put down the Ice-patterned Water Candle and looked at Xu Wen, exclaiming,

"Fellow Daoist, not only are you talented, but your luck makes me envious! I'll take all of them. The price for each of them is... ten spirit stones!"

"Cough cough cough!"

A series of hurried coughs sounded. The waiter standing at the side choked on his own saliva and coughed several times. He almost thought that his shopkeeper had been bewitched!

He glared at the waiter. Compared to Xu Wen, Zhou Yun felt that his nephew was not presentable.

"Alright, fifty spirit stones it is!"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Wen agreed.

He was a regular customer of this shop and knew that Zhou Yuncai had a good reputation, so this price was reasonable.

With the help of the Heavenly Eye Treasure Light Technique, he would not lack spirit stones. Instead of being calculative about those spirit stones, he might as well be more generous and pave the way for future transactions.

"Shopkeeper, please give me a price for these Water Candles as well!"

Making spiritual incense was just an excuse to pick up the leftovers. Naturally, he couldn't really learn it. These Water Candles were useless to Xu Wen. He had to get rid of them. He might as well sell them to Zhou Yuncai.

"Ten spirit stones too!"

After a brief inspection, Zhou Yun gave a price that satisfied Xu Wen.

Originally, the price of the goods in the shop was slightly lower than that in the ghost market. This bundle of Water Candles was missing five, so the price should be even lower.

However, Zhou Yuncai was also a good businessman. He did not haggle over the details and directly rounded it up.

Both sides were very satisfied.

It was unlike some small shops where one had to suffer a stomach full of anger when buying something, making people not want to take half a step in.

Soon, Xu Wen had 60 Spiritual Stones in his arms.

In just one night, he had earned fifty spirit stones. It was comparable to digging a spirit stone mine.

Money was a person's courage. Xu Wen, who had never been so rich, could finally take a good look around.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, how much is this book about the first understanding of spiritual talismans?"

After looking around for a while, he pointed at an inheritance book and asked.

The book he had obtained at the bottom of the cold pool only contained some insights and experiences on talisman creation. There was no specific talisman creation method, so he had to buy it.

"I personally carved this with the Golden Cauldron Spirit Text. It records the drawing methods of 30 types of ungraded spiritual talismans and 10 types of lower grade spiritual talismans."

Zhou Yuncai chuckled and said,

"If it's anyone else, it'll be a hundred spirit stones. However, today is your wedding day, so I'll give you a 20% discount!"

Knowledge had always been precious, especially when it came to spiritual books related to legacies. 80 spirit stones was not considered expensive. It was definitely much more affordable than legacies in the Ghost Market that were only at level 2 or level 3 but only cost a dozen spirit stones.

However, this price was still far beyond Xu Wen's current wealth. He could not spend all his spirit stones on making talismans. After all, cultivation was the most important thing.

Shaking his head to indicate that it was inappropriate, Xu Wen left.
