The slightly noisy first floor of Qiandan Pavilion, at a rough glance, is about three to four hundred feet in diameter and is divided into several areas.
A large number of low-level monks were walking back and forth between the balconies and corridors on the first floor of Qiandan Pavilion, chatting in low voices and comparing shopping.
There are extra spiritual stones, and most of the low-level monks who can come here to enjoy spiritual meals gather together in groups, some in private rooms, some sitting in secluded corners, all well-dressed.
On the first floor of Qiandan Pavilion, most of the monks came to buy some low-level elixirs like Jingqi Pills, and not many actually came to enjoy the spiritual meal.
In the corridor directly opposite the gate of Qiandan Pavilion.
Some handsome young men in black robes, namely Gu Qing, walked through the crowd with their hands behind their hands, scanning the surroundings with a bit of novelty in their eyes.
Behind Gu Qing, the alchemist He Xu followed step by step.
"Qing has only heard of the Bigu Pill in the past, but he doesn't know how the Jingqi Pills sold here are different from the Bigu Pill?" Gu Qing's eyes fell on the cultivators who were queuing up to buy the Jingqi Pills, and his eyes flashed slightly. , looking at each other's eyes, nose and heart, He Xu, who looked respectful, asked through the message.
He Xu responded without thinking.
"Senior, what I don't know is that this essence pill is the unique elixir of Alchemist Chu Ting among the two alchemists in the Dihuo Mountains. In addition to having effects similar to the Bigu Pill, it also has an ordinary first-grade lower-level essence. The elixirs made through advanced training are as effective as 50/20 of the elixir of life and the elixir of strengthening qi."
"Oh? So, this alchemist named Chu Ting is really amazing and talented. He was able to create his own elixir." Gu Qing was slightly surprised.
When He Xu heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the cultivators who were queuing up to buy Jingqi Pills, and seemed to have a trace of pity on his face: "Alchemist Chu Ting, although he also refines alchemy and practices near the Dihuo Mountains, he is one of the three major forces near the Dihuo Mountains. One of them, one of the outer elders of the Wuhe Sect, I heard is the daughter of the head of the Wuhe Sect, so she is not comparable to other casual cultivators like us."
Gu Qing nodded.
He turned around and went up the stairs to the second floor.
One of Gu Qing's purposes during this trip was to see if he could use some of the gains gained from sorting out the disciples of the Luotian Talisman Sect.
The second step is to purchase the two elixirs needed to form the elixir, as well as the elixir called "Five-Colored Jade Zhi".
Of course, Gu Qing did not think that these three things could be prepared in this small Qiandan Pavilion. Therefore, his trip was probably to find out some information related to these three things.
The third step is to prepare all the necessary materials for alchemy and prepare for the first attempt to make alchemy.
"Five He Sect? I wonder how it compares to Luoyan Valley? To be honest, Qing doesn't know much about the situation in the cultivation world here." Gu Qing continued to ask He Xu behind him.
Gu Qing was a little amused about this He Xu.
This person actually followed him here and has not yet thought of leaving. From this point of view, he must have something to ask for.
"Luoyan Valley is also one of the three major forces nearby. It should be on par with the Wuhe Sect in terms of strength... Among the three nearby forces, the strongest one should be the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce. Rumor has it that behind the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce, It's the Guo family, one of the six major families." He Xu responded.
"It is rumored that Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce has a senior who is in the middle stage of pill formation. However, Luoyan Valley and Wuhe Sect, the Supreme Elder who has the highest cultivation level on the surface, is in the early stage of pill formation."
"In addition, due to its influence on the cultivation world near the Dihuo Mountains, or in the southeastern part of Ganchuan County, the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce is far above the Yuluoyan Valley of the Wuhe Sect... But the Wuhe Sect and Luoyan Valley are sect forces after all. , has a long heritage, and if there is a conflict with the Wanzhen Chamber of Commerce, it may not fall back below." He Xu added a few more words.
Gu Qing nodded slightly.
The layout of the second floor of Qiandan Pavilion is quite different from that of the first floor.
But the number of monks on the second floor is much lower than that on the first floor.
As soon as Gu Qing climbed up to the second floor, he was stopped by two middle-aged men in black.
"Stop idlers!"
"Mortals are not allowed on the second floor!"
Two middle-aged men in black spoke coldly.
Talk to Gu Qing.
These two people have also cultivated themselves. They are both at the third level of Qi refining. They are tall and have calluses on their hands. They should also have practiced secular martial arts.
As soon as these two people stopped Gu Qing, they noticed that behind Gu Qing, the famous Alchemist Xiao He walked out from near the Volcanic Mountains!
The expressions of both of them changed, and they saluted quickly.
He Xu waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and scolded: "Don't you have eyes? How dare you block this senior's way! Don't you two think you have a long life? You are really looking down on others! In the next three months, the spiritual stones and elixirs will Don’t ask for any more medicine! He will talk to your shopkeeper about this matter!"
As soon as He Xu said this, the expressions of the two middle-aged men in black changed drastically.
"Alchemist He...this..."
The middle-aged man on the left spoke anxiously.
"Senior, you are short-sighted, you should be punished!" The middle-aged man with a hooked nose on the right rolled his eyes, clasped his fists at Gu Qing, and slapped himself several times.
Gu Qing frowned slightly.
"No need, it's just a small matter." He said to He Xu, and then walked past the two middle-aged people.
Seeing this, the two middle-aged men in black breathed a sigh of relief.
He Xu sneered: "Oh, fortunately, senior is generous and spares you two this time, but if you two are still like this in the future and bump into any senior, you may not have the good luck this time... Keep your eyes open, if you are really a mortal, how can you have the courage to go to the second floor?"
"Yes, yes, that's what Alchemist He taught me." The hook-nosed middle-aged man responded with a flattering smile.
"That's what Alchemist He taught me." The middle-aged man on the left, who was also a little cold, complimented with a smile.
He Xu did not continue to talk to these two people.
He walked straight past these two people, looked at Gu Qing in front of him who seemed to not really care about this matter, and frowned secretly. ..
I just felt that all my performance was in vain.
Of course, he didn't show anything on his face, he just walked quickly and followed Gu Qing.
The layout of the second floor of Qiandan Pavilion is no different from that of the first floor.
It's just that the number of monks on the second floor is much less than that on the first floor.
Although the number is much smaller, only one-tenth of the number on the first floor, which looks deserted, the monks on the second floor of Qiandan Pavilion are mostly higher than the monks on the first floor, and they are generally in the middle and late stages of Qi refining.
Gu Qing took a quick tour and went straight to the third floor.
"Senior, the alchemy furnaces in Qiandan Pavilion are probably sold on the fourth floor. The first and second floors only sell some first-grade elixirs. The third floor sells some second-grade lower-grade and second-grade mid-grade elixirs. As for the fifth floor, , it is not open to the public... Seniors who want to buy any medicinal materials need to go to the fourth floor."
He Xu reminded.
Gu Qing was noncommittal and did not respond.
The layout of the third floor of Qiandan Pavilion is somewhat different from that of the first and second floors, and the number of cultivation levels is slightly smaller.
This third floor does not sell spiritual food. The elixirs sold are basically between the upper-level first-level and the lower-level second-level. There are only about twenty monks gathered on the third floor, and even the ones with the lowest cultivation level are On the ninth level of Qi Refining, there are five people who are practicing in the early stage of foundation building, and one person who is practicing in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Fellow Daoist He!"
"Alchemist Xiao He..."
All the cultivators on the third floor recognized He Xu, nodded, or said hello to He Xu, and all their eyes focused on Gu Qing.
The moment they saw Gu Qing, several foundation-building monks gathered on the third floor looked at each other in shock and confusion.
Although Gu Qing said he had restrained his cultivation aura, he had not activated the breath-containing technique after all, nor had he closed the pores around his body in order to hide his cultivation aura.
To a foundation-building monk whose five senses are more sensitive than those of a Qi-refining monk, he is like a 'mortal' who has no cultivation aura, but is full of energy and blood, and carries a huge sense of oppression.
The strange behavior of these foundation-building monks also attracted the attention of other Qi-refining monks. For a while, the third floor seemed a little quiet, with almost only the sound of He Xu greeting other cultivators.
"Sun
senior……"
"Senior Zhao..."
"Young Daoist Liu..."
He Xu and the acquaintances nodded one by one.
Gu Qing started wandering around on the third floor, walking past the counters with elixirs placed everywhere, as if he was unaware of the gazes gathered around him.
"Qionghua White Dew Pill... Sanyuan Heliang Pill... Are these two second-grade mid-level elixirs the only ones here?" After walking around, Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at a middle-aged man stroking his beard behind the counter. asked.
This middle-aged man with a beard is named Zhao Huanzhen.
He is one of the shopkeepers of Qiandan Pavilion. Among the hundreds of alchemists near the Dihuo Mountains, he is the oldest alchemist. His cultivation has already reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, reaching the fifth level of Foundation Establishment. In this state, this matter has not restrained the aura, and of course, it has not completely released the spiritual pressure.
After Zhao Huanzhen heard Gu Qing's words, he raised his thick black eyebrows slightly and his eyes flashed: "Does this fellow Taoist need an upper-level second-level pill, or even a top-level second-level elixir?"
Gu Qing shook his head.
Zhao Huanzhen's expression moved slightly and he narrowed his eyes.
"If we purchase other second-grade intermediate elixirs, this fellow Taoist will have to wait for some time." He said in a somewhat cold tone.
Gu Qing nodded upon hearing this.
He looked at the two kinds of elixirs placed on the counter and said: "I really don't need the second-grade pills and top-level second-grade pills. What I need is two third-grade pills... I don't know. , does this fellow Taoist know where to buy Ningyu Pill, Yuqing Guiyuan Pill, or Sancai Fuhu Pill?"
Zhao Huanzhen only listened to half of it and opened his eyes slightly.
After Gu Qing finished speaking, Zhao Huanzhen looked at Gu Qing and took a deep breath.
As a second-grade alchemist with many years of experience, he naturally knows that the Jade Condensation Pill, the Yuqing Guiyuan Pill, and the Sancai Fuhu Pill are all the elixirs that monks need when they are about to break through the shackles of the Formation Pill.
'This cultivation...could it be..."
'Are you a monk in the fake alchemy realm? "
Zhao really didn't dare to neglect, and his originally cold face quickly became kind, with a little more smile.
"This fellow Taoist is joking! How can there be such third-grade elixirs for sale in my small Qiandan Pavilion? However...if fellow Taoist really needs to purchase these two third-grade elixirs, Zhao would suggest that fellow Taoist Let’s go to the nearest large market, Jiuchuanfang.” Zhao Huanzhen said.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for your advice." Gu Qing cupped his fists and thanked him, then turned and headed towards the fourth floor of Qiandan Pavilion.
A moment later.
Gu Qing and He Xu walked out of the gate of Qiandan Pavilion.
'This alchemy furnace is much more expensive than ordinary magic weapons and spiritual weapons. "Gu Qing rubbed the storage ring on his finger.
At this time, his storage ring already contained a dark golden pill furnace with a simple format.
This alchemy furnace is about one foot high and looks like a toad sitting on the ground. It was purchased by Gu Qing on the fourth floor of Qiandan Pavilion. He spent a hundred pieces of middle-grade spirit stones. The hundred pieces of middle-grade spirit stones can already buy a pill furnace. A good low-grade spiritual weapon, but it can only be exchanged for a high-grade magic weapon, the Alchemy Furnace.
Apart from this high-grade magic weapon, the Alchemy Furnace, Gu Qing did not purchase anything else on the fourth floor of Qiandan Pavilion, nor did he sell anything. ..
Although there are indeed some elixirs among the things he wants to sell, the size of Qiandan Pavilion is too small. If he sells it here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell it at a good price.
Moreover, it is difficult to sell them all at once.
Gu Qing didn't want to spend too much time on this little elixir.
"Qing is going to Jiuchuanfang and his party now. What do you want from fellow Taoist Xiao He? You might as well tell me." Gu Qing left the Qiandan Pavilion, walked a while, looked back at He Xu, and asked.
This second-grade alchemist He Xu also gave him some information and helped him a little. If it was what the person asked for, it was not troublesome for him, and he didn't mind helping him casually.
A second-grade alchemist still has some value.
He Xu's eyes flashed, and he was about to say something, but held back.
He lowered his head slightly
, said: "The junior does not need the help of the senior for the time being. The junior has accepted the kindness of the senior."
Gu Qing took a deep look at He Xu.
He withdrew his gaze, no longer paying attention to He Xu, and took a few steps, as if he were stepping on invisible stairs, rising step by step. Not long after, he was already in mid-air, circling a few times above the Earth Fire Mountain Range, and headed towards where he had just been. The person who came from Hexu asked about the location of Jiuchuanfang and flew away.
He Xu frowned slightly as he watched Gu Qing leave.
'Master, is this person an enemy or a friend..."
Jiuchuanfang is located on the southeast side of the Dihuo Mountains.
It is about one hundred thousand miles away from this volcanic mountain range.
Gu Qing did not use the Five Elements Escape Technique, but simply escaped through the air and rushed to Jiuchuanfang.
As they flew all the way, the surrounding scenery flowed like water. The original blue sky, without a single cloud, quickly turned into a layer of dark clouds. Thunder rolled all around, and silver-white thunder flashed in the dark clouds, and a piercing sound broke through Gu Qing's ears. The air fell on his body.
However, it did not shake Gu Qing's body in the slightest. Even the black robe on his body was not broken by the silvery thunder.
When this thunderbolt landed on Gu Qing, it seemed to be swallowed up by a layer of white air current on Gu Qing's body.
The golden mana in Gu Qing's body circulated rapidly, refining the thunder. But at this moment, he was slightly shocked to find that traces of golden thunder were born from the limbs and bones of his body.
'This thunder... is the golden thunder that you get every time you are in the world in the Fantasy Thunder Cauldron? I see……"
A feeling of enlightenment made Gu Qing feel complicated.
He finally understood why Taoist Feilei was practicing thunder at Feilei Peak in Huaining County of Ye Country.
It turns out that one of the opportunities in this phantom thunder cauldron is to gather the thunder between heaven and earth, refine it, and turn it into this kind of golden thunder.
But this kind of golden thunder is very weak in power.
For him, even if he could strengthen the golden thunder in his body to the extreme through thunder refining, and once he was at his command, he could trigger an overwhelming golden sea of thunder, so what?
After all, it’s just tasteless chicken ribs!
Gu Qing refined the thunderbolt, and his flight speed slowed down a bit, taking the initiative to attract the thunderbolts to hit his body.
Feeling the golden thunder in the body getting stronger and stronger.
A trace of doubt emerged in Gu Qing's mind.
In the past, he had also practiced the thunder when dark clouds gathered.
But at that time, this golden thunder had never been born in his body!
Is it possible that one needs to enter the Fantasy Thunder Cauldron many times in order to possess such a special ability? Gu Qing frowned slightly.
While thinking about it, Gu Qing had already emerged from the cascading dark clouds. His eyes lit up and he was facing a bright sun emitting thousands of miles of golden light. He slightly changed his direction and continued towards Jiuchuanfang.
Jiuchuanfang is one of the many large-scale cultivation workshops in Ganchuan County.
Given the vastness of Ganchuan County, it is natural that there are not only a few large-scale monks' shops and cities, such as Jiuchuanfang and other large-scale monks' shops. There are more than thirty on the east side of Ganchuan County alone, and among these thirty Among several large cultivation cities, Jiuchuanfang's prosperity is still ranked at the middle to lower level.
But despite this, when Gu Qing approached Jiuchuanfang, he was still shocked by the prosperity of Jiuchuanfang.
Even the most prosperous Xiuzhenfang City he had ever seen before was not even half as good as Jiuchuanfang!
Jiuchuanfang is surrounded by six mountains and covers an area of 20,000 to 30,000 miles.
Of course, apart from the two to thirty thousand miles in the core, there are some monks' caves and self-established stalls and shops on the periphery.
These messy stalls and shops were only scattered at first, but became denser as you went deeper and closer to the core.
Gu Qingfei escaped in the mid-air of Jiuchuanfang, looking down at the scattered stalls and shops below, until he noticed a soft force appearing in mid-air, and knew that this was the forbidden air restriction above Jiuchuanfang. Then, together with the other monks around him, he pressed down the escape light.
His figure was like a fallen leaf in the wind, landing lightly on a low mountain. Instead, he glanced around briefly, then headed down the mountain, looking at several stalls on the way down the mountain one by one.
"Just selling some common things needed by Qi Refining monks..." Gu Qing was at the foot of the mountain, and Yaoyao looked towards the core area of Jiuchuanfang, her body turned into a shadow, and fled away close to the ground.
Along the way, Gu Qing stopped and walked, spending half a day looking at dozens of stalls and more than a dozen shops. Finally, he saw Ning Jade Pill at a stall closer to the core area of Jiuchuanfang. However, there are no pill patterns on this Ning Jade Pill, and the price is too expensive.
Condensing Jade Pills without pill patterns are also sold in the virtual world of Lingxu Dao, and each pill is sold for 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
The price of the Condensing Jade Pill without the Dan pattern at this stall is 11,500 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones, which is even more expensive than the price of the Condensing Jade Pill in the virtual world of Lingxu Island. Out a lot!
Of course, this price is still many times cheaper than the Jade Pill that Gu Qing saw in the store selling elixirs in Chilingfang before. In the store selling elixirs in Chilingfang, there was not even one pill. The Danwen Jade Pill actually requires 100,000 mid-grade spiritual stones! .
Thinking of this, Gu Qing's expression moved slightly.
He looked at the stall owner whose graceful figure was shrouded in black robes, pointed at the Jade Pill, and said through a message: "How many Jade Pills do you have here? If there are less than ten, then I will take them all." "
"It's a coincidence. There are indeed ten Condensing Jade Pills here in the slave's house...Does this fellow Taoist have to take them all?" The stall owner gave a sweet smile that looked both male and female, and sent a message back to Gu Qing. .
Her beautiful eyes, shrouded in black robe, looked at Gu Qing up and down.
I have been setting up a stall here for about half a month.
The black-robed monk in front of her was the first to purchase Condensing Jade Pills, and he was so wealthy that he wanted to purchase so many Condensing Jade Pills at once... Although, with her eyesight, she could not tell what his cultivation level was, but he was that The probability of a fake alchemy monk is already high.
"Then I need ten Jade Pills! If that's not enough, can this fellow Taoist collect less spirit stones?" Gu Qing touched the storage ring on his finger.
The purchase of these ten Jade Pills was a matter of careful consideration on his part.
Although the Jade Pills sold at this stall are more expensive than those sold in the virtual world of Lingxu Island, the virtual world of Lingxu Island is currently inaccessible through the Naxian Order due to some problem.
Judging from the prices of the Condensing Jade Pills he had seen in the elixir shop in Chiling Square, the forces in Dali should be very strict in controlling elixirs.
In this case, for him who is wealthy, it is necessary to prepare some Jade Pills for emergencies, even if they are at a premium.
"Giggle... This Taoist friend is so cheerful, the slave family is very happy... Let's do it this way, for ten Jade Pills, I will receive 110,000 mid-grade spiritual stones from my Taoist friend." The stall owner responded with a smile. road.
Gu Qing's scalp felt a little numb when he heard the awkward smile in his ear that looked like a man or a woman, and he quickly took out 110,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.
As soon as Gu Qing took out the 110,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, the stall owner sensed them with his spiritual consciousness, swept them over, and then put away the pile of medium-grade spiritual stones.
Gu Qing also picked up the bottle of elixir on the stall.
He had already checked before and found that this pill was a genuine Jade Pill.
Just after he was about to put away the bottle of Condensing Jade Pills, Gu Qing frowned and looked at the stall owner with a deep look in his eyes: "In this bottle of pills, there are four Condensing Jade Pills, and there are six more. Please join us, fellow Taoist." Give it to someone."
The stall owner's expression couldn't help but change slightly as Gu Qing stared at him with a gaze that seemed like heavy pressure.
She felt as if there were tens of thousands of pounds of boulders tied to her body, and it seemed that it was difficult to even move. This was of course an illusion, but it was enough to explain the problem.
'This black-robed monk must be a fake alchemy monk! Even if his cultivation level has not reached the fake elixir level, his soul power is already comparable to, or even surpasses, Senior Brother Luo who has been in the fake elixir realm for many years..." She licked her delicate red lips and took out the contents from the storage ring. The remaining six Jade Pills.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be anxious! I'm so scared that my heart is trembling..."
The stall owner glanced at Gu Qing through his black robe.
Listening to the "coquettish" voice that was both male and female, Gu Qing took a half step back with an expressionless face and took the six Jade Pills.
