The black-armored head exploded in an instant, and the blade's sharpness suddenly weakened. It struck Xue Tonggang's demonic shield and stirred up pieces of black smoke.
Xue Tong looked for the blurry figure and punched out like a mountain.
A red pointed cone shot through the void, and Yu Qing's figure also emerged.
Yu Qing put his five fingers together and stabbed straight with one arm. Cone Shadow collided violently with Xue Tong's Tianbei heavy punch.
Xue Tong's fist power is enough to flatten a hundred-foot stone mountain.
The fists and palms struck each other, and the fragments of power danced like silver snakes.
The courtyard was covered with earth, rocks, branches and leaves, and the buildings were devastated.
The bluestone floor was split into deep ditches, the bonsai rockery was destroyed, and several courtyard walls were torn apart and collapsed.
Xue Tong's soles felt warm, and the feedback forced him to take a step back.
Yu Qing's face turned red and he let out a breath.
Xue Tongman put the glove on his hands and punched again.
The sound of fists was faint, like thunder rolling slowly across the distant horizon.
Wu Maxiong's expression suddenly changed.
Yu Qing couldn't hide in time, so he closed his palms and pushed instead of poking. With a loud shout, he pushed out with all his strength with both palms.
Dark anthurium clouds burst out.
"Boom~!"
Xue Tong took two steps back, and Yu Qing's figure shot straight out. He fell to the sky and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.
"Okay, the winner is decided!"
"Elder Xue won with the magic weapon, but he didn't suffer any loss in the first move. For the sake of Holy King Wuma coming all the way, I made the decision and waived the bonus." Hou Qingdan stopped the competition.
"It's inevitable if we agree to it. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the name of this saint!"
Wu Maxiong threw out the spirit stone bag and said: "The rumors are true. Xue Xiaoyou's strength is indeed extraordinary. Don't take Yu Qing's inappropriate words to heart."
"Don't you dare? I will forgive you if I offend you inappropriately." Xue Tong replied hurriedly.
"Please ask Wuma Sheng to move to Xiaoying Garden"
"Elder Chang immediately sent people to repair this place!" Hou Qingdan said.
The eyes of Sha Jinkang and Wu Haitang were not only shocked, but also filled with sincerity. They did not expect that Xue Tong was so powerful.
…
At the time of Xu, the lanterns were first lit.
The exchange meeting brought together more than a hundred monks. Hou Qingdan attended. Everyone except Yu Qing came.
Xue Tong saw several Martial Saint level spiritual objects!
The most powerful one is Hou Qingdan's two barrels of refining earth, which can temper half of a magic weapon to the fourth level of the earth level.
Xue Tong thought: "Hou Qingdan generously presented a fourth-grade Dragon King shield. In addition to the Fox Fairy's double swords and the snatched bone gun, there must be a fourth-grade defensive weapon. She sold the tempered soil in public, which means she announced that she does not plan to refine the fourth-grade shield anymore. meaning."
The art of tempering weapons in the spiritual world is far more widespread than that in the human world. Elite weapon masters of all races have continuously summarized their own clan's art of tempering weapons. It is unknown whether they were the first to learn from the dwarf clan's tempering techniques.
The quenched earth can quench half a piece, which means that two barrels are needed to quench it into one piece. Hou Qingdan selling the earth means telling Wu Maxiong, "I have enough magic weapon, don't have any evil thoughts."
"Oh, the fourth-grade quenched soil is very rare. Although the quantity is not enough, it is enough to refine two third-grade ones. Hou Sheng doesn't keep it?" Wu Maxiong asked with narrowed eyes.
"If you want to exchange for some magical elixirs, Holy Wuma should also bring some good things." Hou Qingdan said with a smile.
The Wuma Sage comes prepared, and the things he brings out will not disappoint.
He took two pages of the ancient book and handed them to Hou Qingdan.
"Tianmi Danfang"
"Oh, ancient elixir recipe?!" Hou Qingdan stared in surprise.
"Sixth and seventh-grade ancient prescriptions!" Wu Maxiong stroked his beard, feeling very proud.
Xue Tong was shocked. Everyone knew about the common elixirs. Ancient elixirs were similar to folk remedies. They collected neglected spiritual herbs and elixirs and refined them into sixth- and seventh-grade elixirs with comparable effectiveness. This expanded the source of elixirs and often made them more effective. To save money.
The home page displayed by Wu Maxiong was a sixth-grade qi-refining elixir called "Jihua Dan". The five-flavor formula elixir concealed two flavors and erased the refining method.
The value of the six ancient elixirs is one step higher than Hou Qingdan's tempered soil.
"I don't know how to exchange?" Hou Qingdan asked.
"Twenty million for the genuine sixth grade, fifty million for the seventh grade, and eighty million for the genuine seventh grade. Fellow Taoist's tempered earth can be exchanged for one genuine and one from the second and seventh grade elixirs." Wu Maxiong offered the price.
"Okay, I believe the friendly prescription is valid!"
Hou Qingdan switched to ancient recipes and browsed quickly.
Xue Tong hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Hou Qingdan had no intention of jumping up and shouting about the fake prescription, he spent 20 million spirit stones to buy the Jihua Pill prescription. Counting Jiong Yuan Dan and Bo Tian Dan, his Qi refining pills expanded to three types.
Chang Zhiqian bought Zhengliu "Zhuo Can Dan" prescription.
The transaction lasted for several hours, and Xue Tong purchased several more bottles of rare toxins.
In the first month of the Xiashan Conference, Xue Tong bought the elixir formulated with Jihua Dan on a large scale. These elixirs were of average price, and the special effects of Jihua Dan were not known to most people.
Ancient elixir prescriptions will slowly spread over a period of time and become common. It is necessary to recover the cost as soon as possible. Tens of thousands of monks will gather in Xiashan Mountain. This is a great opportunity that cannot be missed.
Wu Sheng Palace.
"I bought Luo Yundan and Jingyan Pill in exchange for your Jihua Pill." Hou Qingdan handed over two pamphlets.
Xue Tong was a little at a loss, "This... is too different. Xue doesn't dare to accept such a generous gift."
"You have made great achievements by defeating Yu Qing, and there were no mistakes in several trade fairs. Qinggu, let's not distinguish between you and me." Hou Qingdan's tone was gentle and full of meaning.
Xue Tong is a person who has come here, how can he not understand what it feels like?
"Qing Gu received the award. Xue's cultivation level is still low and needs to be improved urgently. How dare Qing Gu forget about dignity and inferiority?"
Xue Tong wanted to practice the exercises as soon as possible and did not want to get involved in a personal affair.
"Don't forget to go to Chang Zhiqian's place to exchange for the elixir prescription. Wu Maxiong will investigate the truth. The Xiashan Sect's performance is acceptable, and the level of spiritual object trading at the grand gathering is average, which may not lead to the greed of annexation." Hou Qingdan got down to business. , to avoid embarrassment.
"Qinggu is right!"
Xue Tong took the prescription and left in a hurry.
After the grand meeting, the situation became more stable, and all forces were sincerely under the control of the Xiashan Sect.
Rare years of peace!
…
Time flies, eighteen years pass in the blink of an eye.
Xue Tong Fahai refined it four times, and the bone puppet progressed steadily, finally reaching the realm of heaven and man.
The day after Bone Puppet was promoted, Hou Qingdan visited Jinlin Peak in person.
"The Bone Puppet is here today, thanks to Qinggu's help, all kinds of toxins are supplied at affordable prices, otherwise it will take another twenty or thirty years." Xue Tong said.
"I just want you to succeed in your cultivation as soon as possible. I have been waiting for something for a long time, and now I can arrange it as soon as possible." Hou Qingdan felt like he had been waiting so hard until now.
"What's the matter?" Xue Tong asked.
"The Xiashan Sect is located in a cold area, and temperate and tropical elixirs are grown in greenhouses. However, the sunshine is insufficient, and the yield of some elixirs is low, so trade with the south needs to remain open."
"When Lu Yi was here, the trading channels of the two Xueyuan Miaogao sects were sufficient for his own use, but with the addition of a group of people from the Xiashan sect out of thin air, the elixir was clearly insufficient, and it was necessary to expand transactions."
"Chang Zhiqian goes to the south every five years to purchase warm and tropical elixirs. After several trips, he almost doesn't dare to go."
"The elixir is worth hundreds of millions. If it is lost, the loss will be too great. Moreover, the inland is becoming more and more unstable. The latest time, there has been a serious conflict with people."
"I originally planned to ask Qiu Hongwu to go with him, but I felt it was not safe. It would be better to go to Huicheng in person and try to expand trading channels."
"Going to Huicheng is not a negotiation. It is not advisable to bring many people with you. Just let me go with you." Hou Qingdan explained the cause and effect.
Regardless of whether she has both public and private concerns, or she is purely for the sect, Xue Tong cannot refuse. He can only ask: "Xiashan needs Qinggu to guard it, how about I make a trip?"
"Huicheng is far away, I'm worried!"
The old woman who was close to Hou Qingdan died a year ago, which further strengthened her belief that she would never leave Xue Tong.
Xue Tong stopped being verbose.
"Get ready and set off in half a month."
…
Huicheng is a warm city. It is as warm as early summer for more than half of the year, and the elixirs produced complement the Cambrian Mountains.
Most of the warming elixirs needed in Xiashan are supplied by Huicheng's two major elixir dealers. With the addition of more than 10,000 monks, the supply of the two medicine dealers is beyond their capabilities and they need to open up new channels. This will inevitably affect the existing balance in Huicheng. .
It is not so easy to rearrange the situation, so Hou Qingdan said that it was not a negotiation, but only an attempt.
Hou Qingdan hurried on his way. The journey of 70,000 to 80,000 miles would take more than half a year.
"It's rare for Qinggu to travel far away, so you have no problem with taking a walk."
"No way, Xue has finished practicing and is just relaxing."
Two months later, Hanbo Mountain.
The climate is warm, the mountains and plains are colorful, and the flowers, plants and trees are lush.
"Wow~"
Suddenly I heard a vicious dog roaring twenty miles away.
Xue Tong's yellow horse beast trembled slightly, slightly frightened.
“Go check it out!”
Hou Qingdan was very interested. He rolled up his pet bag to collect the horse and beast, and headed towards the direction of the sound of the dog.
Tens of miles later, two groups of people were confronting each other in front of a small Taoist temple.
It feels like a few congenital vicious dogs will pounce on you at any time.
"What are you doing?" Hou Qingdan started to mind his own business.
She is still dressed as she was last time at Jinjiling, and she has reached the "peak of heaven and man".
"...Senior...it's a small matter of the magic weapon being broken."
The people who brought the dogs were dumbfounded. How could this dilapidated Taoist temple in a remote rural area have reached the peak of heavenly cultivation?
"Aren't they willing to pay compensation if the magic weapon breaks?"
Hou Qingdan is a master of weapon refining, and he is very familiar with the rules.
"Senior, the temple master paid 70% of the compensation as agreed, but they still refused to give in. They injured the temple master and continued to cause trouble. They said that it was difficult to refine the materials. They would either pay for the magic weapon or double the price of the materials." The monk in the temple complained.
"Are you telling the truth?" Hou Qingdan asked coldly.
"Young men, let's go now..." Grandmaster, who was the leader of the evil side, saw that the situation was not going well and immediately expressed his stance and left.
"Wait a minute, just forget about hurting someone?" Hou Qingdan stretched out his hand to indicate compensation.
"Yes, yes." The evil master hurriedly took out the bag of spiritual stones, without counting them, and stuffed them into Hou Qingdan's hands.
Approximately more than 800,000 were touched.
"Okay." Hou Qingdan looked satisfied.
"Go away, if you dare to pester me again, you will be shattered to pieces and die without a single body!"
The evil master and his subordinates ran away in panic.
The master of the temple was supported by his disciples and went out of the house to express his thanks. Hou Qingdan and Xue Tong had already gone far away, leaving only the bag of spiritual stones on the ground.
"Just leave like that?"
The two of them walked a hundred miles, Xue Tong suddenly said.
"Do you mean that the Taoist temple will be retaliated against?" Hou Qingdan has experienced countless dangers, and he immediately woke up after being reminded.
"Xue likes to think of people as more sinister!"
"Then let's wait and practice the exercises for a month and see how it goes!"
Midnight after the twentieth day.
A large group of men in black surrounded the Taoist temple. The high-ranking master kicked open the door and was about to rush in and kill them.
"Wave!"
The seemingly ordinary hillside outside the Taoist temple was suddenly exposed, shooting out two green lights.
The monks onlookers fell in pieces like falling leaves.
…
Hou Qingdan was left alive, and what he asked was: "The two seniors have such high cultivation levels, they must be passing by. The leader of the horse gang waited for twenty days before taking action, thinking that everything was safe!"
"Is there anyone else above the gang leader?" Hou Qingdan's intention to eradicate this situation was unambiguous.
"Dongpingzhuang Yan Tianren..."
The monk was already dead before he could finish his words!
