The colorful attic only has two floors, but each floor is quite high and wide, hanging ten feet high. There is only one ebony wooden step leading to the door.
Xu Zhuang took a leisurely step on the hanging steps, and before entering the door, he heard a hoarse voice coming from the pavilion, calling: "Pang Ban, please give me a pleasant word, you and I are old acquaintances, don't let this hurt our friendship."
The man named 'Pang Ban' responded calmly: "This is the price for doing business in Banlan Pavilion."
"Okay!" The hoarse voice responded angrily, quickly walked out of the door, took a look at Xu Zhuang, and without even dangling, he directly set up the escape light and left.
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and stepped into the door. He looked around and saw that the hall was empty except for one person standing behind the counter. He must have been the person named Pang Ban.
He is quite tall, with broad shoulders. He wears a black robe. He does not look like a businessman, but has the bearing of a master, which is extraordinary.
Seeing Xu Zhuang coming in, Pang Ban looked up and couldn't help but be a little surprised. In his beautiful pavilion, it was rare to see such a person with such pure Taoism and immortal wind. He changed his mind and said: : "What does this guest need?"
Xu Zhuang looked beyond Pang Ban and looked at the wall panel behind him. There were many wooden sticks hanging on it, with inexplicable words written on them: Xuanwu, Zhuoliu, Xumu, Wuyin, King of Light... and so on.
Xu Zhuang nodded in understanding and asked with a smile: "Is what your pavilion is doing really a devil's business?"
Pang Ban looked back and suddenly thought of something. First he raised his finger and knocked down a wooden stick with the word 'Five Yins' written on it. He said, "Yes, there is something left for all the demon heads with names hanging on the wall."
He immediately explained: "I failed to negotiate the business of the Five Yin Demons, and I only have one left in my hand, which I have reserved."
"That's it." Xu Zhuang responded, glanced at the wooden sign on the wall, and asked: "There is no invisible demon?"
"Huh?" Pang Ban's eyes moved slightly, and he responded quietly: "The invisible devil is very strange. Ordinary monks cannot deal with it. The Demon Sect also has its own uses. Even in this Weiyun Immortal City, it is very rare to see it. .”
Seeing that there seemed to be a hidden meaning in his words, Xu Zhuang followed the current and asked, "I am looking at the meaning behind the words of my Taoist friend. Is there anything I can think of?"
Pang Ban showed a tactless smile on his face and said: "If the customer can afford the price, I can personally catch one for the customer."
"Oh?" This person was quite confident. Xu Zhuang laughed, but did not inquire about the price. Instead, he asked, "Zhuoliu, how does this devil price it?"
The so-called Zhuoliu Demon, as the name suggests, is just a kind of low-level heavenly demon formed by the gathering of turbid air in the universe. Not to mention magical powers, the harm is mediocre. Perhaps only its huge number can be considered commendable. Every time the Zhuoliu Demon appears, They are all black and black, covering the sky and the sun, sweeping away the stars...
So naturally I don’t cherish it either.
Xu Zhuang asked about the invisible demon just out of curiosity. None of the invisible demons he had captured in the mysterious bronze palace in the Heavenly Waterfall Realm had been put to use yet. It would be useless to look for another one now.
Perhaps it is not consistent enough with his Taoism, or perhaps it is because his practice relies on pure spiritual energy. Xu Zhuang's "Yuan Zun's Teaching of Demon Refining Scripture" has not been very satisfactory, and it has not been published at all. To the heat that can refine the 'Magic Talisman of Providence'.
It's not like Xu Zhuang has never thought about giving up this method altogether. Now that he has already practiced it, it is not his temperament to give up halfway before he has achieved any results.
Moreover, according to his expectation, the Magic Talisman of Heaven's Will, which contains the way of invisible transformation, should be consistent with Taisu Taoism. At least, it should be refined into the Magic Talisman of Heaven's Will before contemplation.
Therefore, Xu Zhuang needed to use this turbid current demon.
"Yuan Zun's True Demon Refining Manual", this marvelous true magic refining method, even if the eight true magic refining methods are omitted, it still records the methods of massacre and refining, restraining demons and refining elixirs, refining demons, and increasing mana. Replenishing the essence, indulging the demon, seizing one's body, fighting with the soul, tempering the mind... all kinds of demon refining methods.
Among them, there is a method of refining turbid current demons, turning turbid qi into benefits, and increasing one's merits. It is said to be the foundation-building method of "Yuan Zun's Preaching Demon Refining Manual", but it is suitable for Xu Zhuang's practice of demon refining. The progress of the scriptures.
Although Pang Ban was a little surprised that the topic suddenly changed from the invisible demon to the mere turbid demon, he thought for a moment and said calmly without asking, "This temple only uses Weiyun Tongbao, or spirits linked to the value of Weiyun Tongbao." Spirits and spirits are really traded.”
"The Turbid Current Demon, two thousand heads, always a towering cloud treasure."
Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, put his hand into his sleeve, but didn't see any movement. When he took it out, he had separated a small amount from a bottle of Taiyin Spirit, placed it in an empty bottle, and put it on the counter. , asked: "Is this possible?"
Although Xu Zhuang didn't know the value of Weiyun Tongbao, he had a good idea of the value of Zhuoliu Demon, and he didn't make any jokes.
Pang Ban just glanced into the pure bottle, slightly surprised, and said: "Such a pure Taiyin spirit is rare."
He didn't go to pick up the elf. He reached out and picked it up. From nowhere, a patent leather gourd that was not tied around his waist flew up. He put it on the counter and said, "Two thousand turbid current demons."
Then he flicked his sleeves on the cabinet and lined up a hundred bronze-shaped Dharma coins that were round on the outside and square on the inside, and said calmly: "Count one hundred and twenty-one Weiyun Tongbao."
Xu Zhuang actually didn't know the amount of the money, but he didn't mean to worry about it. He took the gourd, put away the money, and said with a smile: "If you need it, I'll come back."
Pang Ban nodded slightly and said: "Go slowly."
Xu Zhuang didn't hesitate, he cupped his hands casually, turned around and left Banlan Pavilion.
After randomly looking for a treasure pavilion, Xu Zhuang was naturally interested and stopped running away. He walked along the street, looking at interesting things along the way, so he went inside and took a look. Among the treasure merchants in the Mirror Tower, a long silk of Hongchen Lian was harvested.
Xu Zhuang had a few Hongchen trainings at hand, and he had already started to refine the sword energy with the secret method of killing the sword with one thought. However, even if all the training was completed, he still had a long way to go to refine the sword with one thought. Since there is Hongchen Lian purchasing it in Shuijing Tower, he will naturally not miss it.
The manager of the Shuijing Tower is a person who knows how to look at faces. Seeing that Xu Zhuang cherished Hongchen Lian and was in great demand for something that was not easy to sell, he told him that the Shuijing Tower was among the other branches. There are still some leftovers from Hongchen Lian. If Xu Zhuang still needs it, he can arrange it for him.
Xu Zhuang naturally agreed happily and left the contact letter before leaving Shuijing Tower.
Weiyun Immortal City is worthy of the name of the intersection of thousands of directions. There are also many treasure merchants of all kinds in the city. When flying in the air, I didn't realize it. It took me half a day to walk to the originally designated ten A family near Tongtianbao Pavilion.
Although the eleven treasure pavilions are located on one side, they are not very far apart. They seem to form a prosperous area. When they arrive here, there are many more monks in the area, and it seems a bit bustling.
In particular, there is a six-storey pavilion built under the Tongtianbao Pavilion named "Linglong Qibao Pavilion", which is actually more lively than the Linglong Qibao Pavilion. There are always people who are setting off or hurriedly walking. Monk, go inside.
Xu Zhuang looked up and saw that on the plaque of this pavilion, there were three big characters written on silver hooks and iron, 'Lai Xianzhai', which was very impressive.
"Oh? It's actually a restaurant for spiritual food and immortal food?" Xu Zhuang became interested. Spiritual food and food are not rare, but it is interesting to attract the favor of so many cultivators. Could it be that the reputation is very wide and spread throughout the immortal city?
He has already been shopping for half a day, so he might as well try the spiritual food in Weiyun Immortal City, there is something special about it.
As soon as Xu Zhuang moved, he didn't see anything strange. He seemed to be stepping on the breeze, and he arrived at Laixianzhai in a moment. His current escape technique has returned to his original nature, with the invisible taste of an elephant. Several monks seemed to be unaware that he had already entered the door in front of him.
As soon as you enter the Immortal Studio, you will see a screen wall with brightly colored glazes and a picture of heavenly maidens. There are about hundreds of them, with fat and thin bodies, vivid and vivid, each with their own charm.
As soon as Xu Zhuang entered the door, a hazy light suddenly appeared on the screen wall. A goddess with a double-snail bun on her head, curved willow eyebrows, almond eyes and a beautiful nose floated down from it, flew to Xu Zhuang, and performed a blessing. , Rourou said: "Does this guest have a meal?"
Xu Zhuang was not surprised and responded: "Exactly."
"Please come with me, sir." That day the girl bowed in response, and then asked: "Sir, will you go to the sixth floor for the banquet, or will the slave arrange a quiet room in the courtyard?"
Xu Zhuang asked curiously: "What kind of banquet are you attending on the sixth floor?"
The goddess was surprised and said, "Didn't your guest know this?"
It seems that the reason why Xianzhai is so lively here is not all because of the good reputation of Lingshan. Xu Zhuang said with a smile: "I really don't know. Please ask the girl to explain it to me."
"You're welcome, sir." That day, the woman's face was flushed, and she replied: "The master of the Immortal Zhai, Master Yu Bo, held an immortal banquet on the sixth floor to invite all the Taoist geniuses to talk about mysteries, so Many monks came to attend the banquet."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly and asked, "That being the case, how can I be considered a monastic genius and attend the banquet on the sixth floor? Do you have an invitation?"
"There is no invitation, and the real person has not stated the standards. He only said that those who can climb to the sixth floor can attend the banquet." That day the girl said shyly: "I am a slave to the guest officer, with his immortal appearance and extraordinary demeanor. It is expected that he will be He is a talented person, so he asked this question."
Xu Zhuang didn't pay too much attention to the compliment from the goddess. He just smiled and said, "In that case, Xu will go to the sixth floor for the banquet."
As for whether he can climb to the sixth floor, Xu Zhuang is naturally confident... Maybe there is a possibility that he will be rejected, but Xu Zhuang is not a kind-hearted person, and it is not an important matter.
A real person, regardless of whether he is a real person from the Yuanshen or a side disciple, must be a man of the Tao. It is a good thing to be able to talk about mysteries with such a person.
Of course, perhaps this real Yu Bo had other plans, but Xu Zhuang thought that he was just here for the first time, so he would not fall into anyone's scheme. Even if he came back disappointed, that would be all.
That day, the girl Rourou said, "Your Majesty, please come with me." Then she led Xu Zhuang straight to the top floor. On the way, some young Taoists slumped down the stairs, accompanied by the goddess Xi. Soothing voice.
Some of the free and easy ones changed their way to the courtyard, and some of the good-looking ones consciously lost face and became angry. The goddess also greeted her with a gentle voice, and the reception was completely considerate.
After a while, Xu Zhuang was led by the goddess to the staircase. The goddess said: "The immortal banquet has its own entertainment, and there is no need for a slave to accompany it. The slave has to escort the guests here."
She didn't say anything about waiting here, but seeing her expectant look, there was no need to say anything more.
Xu Zhuang smiled hoarsely and said, "Thank you, miss." Then he stepped up the ladder. To his surprise, he didn't feel any detection or test at all, and Xu Zhuang just casually climbed to the sixth floor.
The furnishings on this floor are not extravagant, just like an ordinary restaurant. There are several sets of tables and chairs for seating, but there are a few people sitting there. They are all dressed as Taoist priests. They are divided into two and divided into two tables. Climbing the stairs, they all looked at each other.
Xu Zhuang smiled back calmly, glanced at the four people, and was slightly surprised.
I saw two young Taoists sitting on a table in the hall. One of them was wearing a Taoist bun and a crane cloak. He had a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance. He also had the appearance of an immortal who had been relegated to the world. He was not a bell god, but also a Who?
What surprised Xu Zhuang even more was that Zhong Shenxiu was all over his body, with six qi flowing around him, harmonious and long, and there was a faint hint of the great accomplishment of Xuan Gong, and the momentum of practicing the third level.
Xu Zhuang thought to himself that his progress in martial arts was very fast, but it would still take one or two hundred years before he could reach the perfection of Xuan Gong. If he cultivated yin and yang and increased his foundation, he might have to delay it even more. He didn't think of Zhong Shenxiu. He has already crossed the pass halfway.
He expected that Zhong Shenxiu was by no means an impatient person, so his progress in cultivation was truly terrifying.
Seeing Xu Zhuang ascending the tower, Zhong Shenxiu was also a little surprised. He knew that Xu Zhuang would come to Guangyuan, but he never expected that he would have such a fate. He smiled unconsciously, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, it's been a long time."
Xu Zhuang didn't see anyone else, he walked straight over, sat down at his table, and said with a smile: "After all these years, my Taoist friend's cultivation is still improving by leaps and bounds, which makes Mo marvel."
"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary." Zhong Shenxiu smiled slightly and responded: "With the encouragement of fellow Taoist, I have to practice diligently, otherwise I'm afraid there will be no chance of getting a son back in the future."
At this time, another person at the table asked: "Brother Zhong, won't you introduce him to me?"
Zhong Shenxiu responded with a smile: "This is Xu Zhuang, fellow Taoist Xu whom I mentioned before." He then said to Xu Zhuang: "This is Cen Fenghong, fellow Taoist Cen, who practices in the Blue Sky Realm... and is also the person invited by Senior Ji De."
Cen Fenghong also looked like a young man, with long and narrow eyebrows, but not sinister, and a clear Taoist spirit. Hearing this, he raised his brows slightly and cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Taoist friend Xu. He is famous but not as good as meeting him. I have admired him for a long time."
"Fellow Taoist, you are joking." Xu Zhuang bowed back and replied, "What kind of reputation does Xu have?"
Cen Fenghong laughed, but said nothing. He only said: "Cen is very much looking forward to meeting fellow Taoists. He never thought that he would be here in the Immortal Village. It is destined."
While several people were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from the stairs. They followed the sound and saw a black-robed man with black hair hanging down his shoulders and a calm expression. He stood tall and looked like a master, boarding the room. .
