He was so careless just now that he was knocked to the ground before he even realized what kind of magic weapon Su Lingshuang was offering.
It wasn't until he gradually regained consciousness that he finally remembered that what Su Lingshuang sacrificed was actually the Five Fire Qingyuan Cauldron.
But hasn't she never been able to repair this artifact, and haven't been able to figure out how to use it as a sacrifice?
Didn't he come up with the idea of this artifact after hearing the news from a familiar weapon master?
You were careless, you were careless. It turned out that that damn girl was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. In fact, she had already found someone to repair the Five Fire Qingyuan Cauldron, and was just waiting for her to jump into the pit. Thinking this in his heart, Xiang Chaozong was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.
But when he thought about it again, he felt something was not right.
If Su Lingshuang had found someone to repair the Five Fire Qingyuan Cauldron, how could he be imprisoned in the barrier by himself, trapped for three whole days, and how could he be seriously injured under the shadow of the sword in the barrier?
Although that little girl is not stupid, she is not that deep in the city.
The Five Fire Qing Yuan Cauldron must have been repaired after she was trapped in the barrier.
According to the weapon master, Su Lingshuang knew nothing about the art of weapon refining and definitely did not have the ability. So the only person who could repair this artifact was Gu Qingxi!
Xiang Chaozong's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up and chased down the mountain, but just after running a few steps, he staggered and fell to the ground.
The cauldron just hit me so hard that it was fine just lying on the ground. But as soon as I got up, I felt like the world was spinning and I felt dizzy.
There was no other way, so Xiang Chaozong could only take out a handful of healing elixirs and drink them, then sit down cross-legged and recover on the spot...
"Lingshuang, is the Five Fire Qing Yuan Cauldron an ancestral heirloom of your family?" Gu Qingxi asked Su Lingshuang as she walked down the winding bluestone path.
"No, I bought it from a street stall." Speaking of the origin of the Five Fire Qingyuan Cauldron, Su Lingshuang's little baby-fat face showed a bit of pride.
"Street stall?" Gu Qingxi was a little surprised.
Seeing that Su Lingshuang knew nothing about the ritual method of the Five-Fire Qingyuan Cauldron, she guessed that she might have thought wrong: Su Lingshuang was not a descendant of that ancient powerful man, and this semi-divine weapon should be her chance. Found it from a certain cultivation relic or a cultivation cave left by a senior.
But she didn't expect that she actually bought it from a street stall.
The street stalls in Tianyuan Continent are so high-end, do they even sell ancient semi-artifacts?
"It's funny to say that the vendor thought I didn't know the goods and wanted to defraud me of money. He said that this square tripod was the proud work of Ou Ye Mingzhi, the master of the art of weapons. It was called the Bafang Tiandi Ding. It was originally a heavenly magic weapon, but Because the damage was so severe, no one could recognize it.
But he didn't know at all that this was the Bafang Heaven and Earth Cauldron. It was clearly the Five Fires Qingyuan Cauldron. I saw that the price he asked was not too high, so I bought it directly. In the end, he only spent 200,000 spirit stones to buy a legendary ancient artifact.
He didn't even look at who I, Su Lingshuang, was, and actually wanted to cover my head, hahahaha. "Seeing Gu Qingxi's doubts, Su Lingshuang said happily again, laughing so hard that she could hardly close her mouth.
"Then do you know the goods?" Gu Qingxi asked curiously.
"Uh... Well, I really don't know the goods. Later, I asked someone to help me identify it, and I realized that I had found a treasure." Su Lingshuang's smile suddenly turned shy.
Gu Qingxi curled her lips: Seeing you smiling so proudly, I really thought you had good eyesight. After a long time of fussing, it turned out that it was just good luck. The blind cat encountered a dead mouse.
What’s more, you dare to throw 200,000 spiritual stones on the street stall without even understanding what the magic weapon is. Do you know that you are a prodigal?
"Have you heard of Zhuo Moying, Luo Guiyun and Duan Qingyang?" Gu Qingxi then asked.
"Who is Zhuo Moying, who is Luo Guiyun, and who is Duan Yang?" Su Lingshuang began to be confused again, obviously she had never heard of the names of Gu Qingxi's disciples.
"I'm just asking casually, forget it if you don't know." Gu Qingxi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"You should be talking about senior experts in the world of cultivation, right? I don't know much about the world of cultivation, but Xiang Chaozong may have heard of it." Seeing that she had not helped Gu Qingxi, Su Lingshuang felt a little ashamed and apologized. explained, "The Xiang family is the oldest cultivation family in our Xishui City. I heard that his great-grandfather was selected by the shrine to participate in the trial when he was young, and he almost became a priest of the shrine.
Although they were finally dismissed, the major sects and aristocratic families in the world of cultivation still wanted to give them some face to the Xiang family, and even the city lord was unwilling to offend the Xiang family easily. "
"Shrine?" Gu Qingxi repeated doubtfully.
In my memory, the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent is similar to that of Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent. There are sects and aristocratic families, as well as organizations such as the Immortal Alliance Conference and the Cultivation Alliance, but I have never heard of a divine palace.
"Sister Qingxi, don't you know about the shrine?" Su Lingshuang looked at Gu Qingxi with an expression even more confused than hers.
It was as if, as a monk, he had never heard of how strange the shrine was.
"I have been living in seclusion with my master since I can remember. Recently, my master passed away, so I started to go out to practice." Gu Qingxi made up a reason to excuse himself.
"So that's it." Su Lingshuang suddenly realized.
Although she didn't know much about the world of cultivation, she had heard of people who had lived in seclusion since childhood, or even stayed away from the world for their entire lives, so she didn't doubt Gu Qingxi's words.
Without waiting for Gu Qingxi to ask, she continued to explain: "Tens of thousands of years ago, the demons once invaded our Tianyuan Continent in large numbers. I don't know how many sects and families were destroyed, and I don't know how many people were displaced by the tragedy.
At the critical moment, it was the powerful men from the Divine Palace who took action to save the Tianyuan Continent and drive the demons back to their home base.
After experiencing the war between humans and demons, Tianyuan Continent was devastated and in need of reconstruction. It was also thanks to the Divine Palace that presided over the overall situation that Tianyuan Continent did not fall into turmoil, and it only took less than a thousand years to recover.
For this reason, both sects and aristocratic families regard the shrine as the supreme holy place in the world of cultivation. "
As she spoke, Su Lingshuang's face was filled with reverence and yearning, and her eyes were filled with brilliance.
Gu Qingxi's heart sank suddenly: It was clearly her and Ye Wuchen who led many strong men from three continents to repel the demons, but why did Su Lingshuang say that all the credit was attributed to the palace?
Su Lingshuang herself said that she didn't know much about the world of cultivation, so of course she wouldn't make it up out of thin air.
This statement was obviously spread deliberately by someone, and it was definitely not spread for a day or two, so that Su Lingshuang believed it deeply.
What is the origin of this shrine? Why are you so greedy for heaven's merits? Why do you want to erase the achievements of her, Ye Wuchen, and other ancient powerful men?
Gu Qingxi had an intuition: The palace may have done this to win over people's hearts and let generations of powerful people from Tianyuan Continent use it, thereby breaking the sky mark barrier and occupying Tiancang Continent and Yuanzhen Continent.
"Where is the shrine?" Gu Qingxi asked eagerly.
"I don't know about this." Su Lingshuang shook her head and said: "Not long after Tianyuan Continent returned to peace, the shrine suddenly disappeared.
Some people speculate that those powerful people did not want secular disputes to affect their cultivation, so they retired after their achievements and lived in seclusion in the fairyland.
However, every more than a thousand years, the shrine will send a message from the crane to summon young monks with outstanding qualifications to go for trials. If you pass the trial, you can become a priest of the temple and reach heaven in one step. "
Did it suddenly disappear? Since Gu Qingxi had already guessed the conspiracy and ambition of the palace, she certainly would not believe that those strong men would hide from the world in order to concentrate on their cultivation.
She guessed that the disappearance of the shrine was either to gain strength by breaking the sky mark barrier in one fell swoop. Or, something unexpected happened and I had to rest and recuperate.
Regardless of the reason, the disappearance of the shrine is not a bad thing. The situation in Tianyuan Continent is not as critical as imagined, and Gu Qingxi is still a little relieved.
After all, her cultivation level has only returned to the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation. If the Divine Palace summons many powerful people from Tianyuan Continent to attack the Sky Mark Barrier at this time, she really can't stop it.
"By the way, Sister Qingxi, I heard that it has been thousands of years since the last trial in the shrine, and a new round of trials might start soon.
With your weapon refining skills, you will definitely be able to pass the trial and become a priest of the shrine. "Su Lingshuang said excitedly again.
Gu Qingxi smiled slightly. If she had the chance, she really wanted to go to the shrine to see what was going on.
