Glancing at the blood on his body, and then looking at the ground covered with spirit stone fragments, Gu Qing stretched out his hand to hold it, a little mist of light condensed on his fingertips, and quickly spread to the whole body, like a ball of steam steaming.
He jerked it aside.
puff!
The steaming water vapor was thick, and as he swung away from the body, a pool of black and red blood suddenly appeared on the spiritual stone fragments on the ground, exuding a faint fishy smell.
Looking at Gu Qing again, he was already spotless, except for the blue Confucian shirt that was a little whitish, as if the blue Confucian shirt had been starched many times.
Gu Qing has used this dust removal technique countless times, and it has reached the point where he can easily master it.
He took out a bronze mirror, several silver needles of different lengths and a moustache, pretended to be the middle-aged scholar again, and then went to the side and took out the small formation plate that emitted the water curtain. Two spiritual stones.
The gauze-like water curtain dispersed.
The formation engraved on this small formation disk is the smoke screen formation in the basic formation. With any attribute of the spiritual stone, a corresponding veil will be generated, which can cover up the movement inside and outside, and isolate the monks from the spiritual exploration. .
Gu Qing put the formation plate, spirit stones, and bronze mirrors into the storage bag on his waist, then took the two empty storage bags in his hands, cleaned up the blood and spirit stone fragments on the ground, and collected them. In a storage bag.
Then he stuffed the two storage bags into the hidden pockets of the lining of his sleeve robe and left the room.
"Fellow Taoist, stay!"
In the long corridor on the side, the horse-faced monk who had been waiting for a long time saw Gu Qing leaving the door and heading straight to Xiaopanshui Pavilion. His eyes flickered, and he took a few steps forward to speak.
Gu Qing's steps stopped and he turned around to look.
A monk with a moustache and splayed eyebrows, whose cultivation is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. It seems that his Qi will break through soon. He is also holding a long-necked jade bottle that seems to be a magic weapon.
"What's the matter, fellow Taoist?" Gu Qing said calmly.
"My Excellency, Xiu Xiuyuan, a member of the Ma family in Tianbei County, just saw the spiritual mist drifting away from the Taoist friend's room, so he used this bottle to restrain the scattered spiritual mist. Now he is about to hand it back to the Taoist friend." Xiu Xiuyuan said, twirling his beard. , with a slight smile on his face, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"Oh?" Gu Qing turned around slowly.
Tianbei County is one of several counties close to Huifeng Valley. Gu Qing has never heard of the Ma family. He only knows that there are four cultivation families in Tianbei County: Li, Qi, Wang, and Xiao.
Thinking about it this way, if what the man who calls himself Xiu Yuan is true, then the Ma family should be an ordinary small cultivating family in Tianbei County, without any monks in the foundation-building stage.
"However, this bottle is quite valuable, and the spirit mist cannot be delivered to fellow Taoists alone..." Xiu Xiuyuan observed the expression of the person in front of him, and saw that he also looked calm in the face of himself, a fifth-level Qi refining monk with "extreme cultivation" The look on his face immediately confirmed his suspicion, so he pretended to be embarrassed.
"How about giving Ma Mou twenty low-grade spiritual stones to fellow Taoist to offset the spiritual mist?"
As if he thought of something, Ma Xiuyuan frowned and said, "his eyes lit up."
"It's all right." Gu Qing glanced at this person strangely, and rushed to give him the spirit stone. This was the first time he had encountered him in so many years of practice, and it was an eye-opener.
After putting away the twenty pieces of low-grade spiritual stones given by Xiu Xiuyuan, Gu Qing glanced at this person again, with a hint of a smile flashing across his face, and turned around and left Xiaopanshui Pavilion.
…
Today is the first day of the Chihu monks’ gathering.
There were densely packed monks mixed together. A rough calculation suggested that there were thousands. The scene was very lively. The monks coming and going ranged from old men to young men. There were even monks practicing special techniques. These monks might be very strong. He may be tall, or he may be as short as someone else’s knees. Gu Qing noticed that there were many more cultivators in black robes and hats near Chihu than yesterday.
"Is it an auction..."
Gu Qing followed the flow of people and came to the front of Xiangjia Siyuanxuan. A huge venue had been built here. Most of the venue was built on the water. There were beautiful waitresses who introduced the monks into the venue one by one.
It is worth mentioning that most of the monks entering the venue wore black robes and bamboo hats to hide their faces.
The auction on Chihu will be held for seven consecutive days.
Gu Qing recalled the words of peace between Feilei Taoist and the two foundation-building monks of the Shanyin Sect on Feilei Peak that day. Feilei Taoist seemed to have bought a bottle of Huanglong Pill at an auction. , offending the two foundation-building monks of the Shanyin Sect.
Huanglong Pill is a third-grade lower-level pill.
It is said that for monks in the foundation-building stage, taking one Huanglong Pill into their belly can save them three years of hard training.
"It shouldn't just be for the Huanglong Pill..." Gu Qing's thoughts drifted away, and he returned to Feilei Peak that day. The scenes seemed to reappear in front of his eyes, and finally he condensed on the big azure cauldron.
Gu Qing's intuition told him that the water surrounding Feilei Peak was very deep, and it was definitely not an ordinary feud.
Gu Qing rubbed his brows and turned around to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Gu!"
A slightly familiar voice sounded from one side. Gu Qing looked around and saw Xiang Lichen, who was taken away by the purple-robed old man yesterday, running over with excitement on his face: "You are also here to participate in today's first auction. ?"
"It's just a long experience."
Gu Qing responded with a chuckle.
"Fellow Daoist Gu has also received the news and knows that there is a True Crimson Pill among the items in this first auction?" Xiang Lichen was stunned when he heard this and glanced at Gu Qing suspiciously.
"I don't know that."
"Hey! Listen to me..."
Gu Qing and Xiang Lichen came to the veranda nearby, and the two started talking. Most of the time, Xiang Lichen was talking happily. Until a moment later, Xiang Lichen looked suddenly nervous and hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Qing.
After looking around for a few times, Gu Qing saw the purple-robed old man again yesterday. The purple-robed old man's cold eyes swept over him, with a hint of warning.
There was no further threat. Gu Qing shook his head mockingly and glanced at the stunning female cultivator in red clothes next to the old man in purple robe. Listening to the discussions among the monks around him, this was the famous Mo family in Huaining County. Mo Fairy'.
"This generation of Mohist cultivators, who are less than twenty-five years old, have already reached the seventh level of Qi refining. Even if they are placed in an immortal sect such as Ziyun Sect, they can still qualify as inner disciples. Calling them 'fairy' is not enough." It's not an exaggeration." Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and left silently.
The journey was uneventful. Gu Qing found Master Zhai Tong's stall and pretended to look at it for a while.
The elixirs sold by Master Zhai Tong are much more expensive than those sold in other places. Therefore, there are only three or four monks stopping in front of the stall at this time. One of them moved his lips slightly, as if he was talking about Master Zhai Tong. Voice conversation.
Soon this person patted the storage bag on his waist, took out more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, handed them to Master Zhai Tong, and took away a bottle of elixir called 'Yushu Pill'. Gu Qing remembered this Yushu Pill. , taking it can enhance the power of the soul.
The practice in the early stage of the Qi refining period is to accumulate spiritual power until the sea of consciousness is opened and the spiritual consciousness is born. Entering the middle stage of the Qi refining period, the subsequent practice must pay equal attention to the soul and spiritual power.
The cultivation of the soul lies in the word visualization.
Just like Jin Yang Gong, the content of the mid-stage Qi training of Guishui Gui Yi Gong should also have corresponding visualization methods.
"I don't have any elixirs here that can be used in the early stage of Qi refining." Master Zhai Tong glanced at Gu Qing, and then his cold voice sounded in Gu Qing's ears.
"Senior, is it acceptable to barter?"
Gu Qing did not respond, but asked.
"Barter?" Master Zhai Tong looked at Gu Qing carefully for a few times, and suddenly noticed something. His expression became a little strange, and he didn't see any movement. A layer of fire-colored mist isolated Gu Qing from the outside world. Come on.
"What's that in your hand?"
With his eyes narrowed, Master Zhai Tong's eyes flashed with a fiery color, and his consciousness locked on Gu Qing.
Gu Qing held the jade bottle with the Forbidden God Talisman in his hand, and his face deliberately showed a bit of anxiety: "Senior, this is a rare treasure that this junior got by chance."
With that said, he handed the jade bottle to Master Zhai Tong.
Master Zhai Tong felt urgent in his heart, but he still took it calmly and took off the forbidden talisman. When he looked at it with his spiritual consciousness, his pupils shrank and he exclaimed in his heart: "This... this is actually a monk in the foundation building stage. The remaining The power of pure soul!”
His breathing became rapid and uncontrollably, but Master Zhai Tong suppressed it. He looked at Gu Qing.
"What do you want to change?"
Master Zhai Tong's voice transmission did not fluctuate, and was still as cold as before, ringing in Gu Qing's ears.
"Junior...Junior has completed his cultivation at the third level of Qi Refining and is about to replace it with an obstacle-breaking pill. In addition, I also want to attend today's auction..."
Gu Qing rambled hesitantly.
Listening to the small cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining in front of him chattering for a long time, Master Zhai Tong felt impatient. Now that he had obtained the pure soul power of this foundation-building cultivator, he had already hurried back to his cave to study it. thoughts.
"I can give you one barrier-breaking pill in exchange for five hundred low-grade spiritual stones." Master Zhai Tong sent a message to Gu Qing.
Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones?
Gu Qing sneered in his heart.
All the things among monks that can be related to the word "foundation building" are marketable and priceless, let alone the pure soul power of this foundation building monk! If this thing goes to auction, according to Gu Qing's past experience, the final transaction price will probably be four to five thousand yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.
"This..." Gu Qing looked surprised, but his face was a little tangled, as if he wanted more. After a while, he looked at Master Zhai Tong with a somewhat greedy look, swallowed, lowered his head and said , "Senior, I want to exchange this item for two thousand lower-grade spiritual stones, plus two barrier-breaking pills and a bottle of Yushu Pill."
"Um?"
Master Zhai Tong frowned, stared at Gu Qing with a gloomy gaze, and said nothing for a long time.
Glancing at the jade bottle in his hand, Master Zhai Tong flashed a sly smile on his face: "This treasure is really good. Although you, a minor cultivator on the third level of Qi Refining, are a bit like a lion, but you are not greedy for some spiritual stones. How about you?" Are you greedy for immortality? I have always admired people who are a little bit greedy, so I can give it to you in exchange for today! Hurry up and get the storage bag."
Gu Qing looked overjoyed and quickly took out the two empty storage bags from his sleeves and handed them to Master Zhai Tong.
Soon, the fire-colored mist dispersed, and Gu Qing turned around and left with a face full of joy. His expression seemed to be mixed with a bit of caution about the cultivators coming and going along the way. Master Zhai Tong looked at this scene with an expressionless face. There is a coldness in it.
