Hao Qingyan exchanged a few pleasantries, but because he couldn't figure out the background of the two people around Chen Heng, he didn't dare to be too enthusiastic, so he just led Chen Heng to the second floor of Baojuzhai, with a smile on his face, and said :
"If you think about it carefully, I haven't seen you for a while. Fellow Taoist, are you here to sell some more things, or do you want to buy something for the two of you?"
The first floor of Baojuzhai is where guests are received in the lobby. It is separated by several landscape screens. The site is decorated with bonsai old pines and green jade ivy. The ceiling of the first floor of the corridor is decorated with hundreds of palm-sized curved gourds. , the sound of music, like playing a flute or a flute, comes out slowly and quietly from the holes of the gourd. When it enters the ear, it lingers and is thick and does not disperse. When you hear it, you will feel happy and refreshed, like a bright wind lingering around your body. It can be regarded as elegant and quiet.
But above the second floor, there is a place for sales and transactions. Not only are all kinds of spiritual objects and magic weapons stored there, they are also heavily guarded, and there are even Taoist priests who have cultivated Zhenqi.
After hearing Hao Qingyan's words, Qingzhi, who was struggling to climb the stairs with his two short legs, his eyes suddenly lit up.
She let out a cry and jumped over several long stairs with great force. Her two chubby hands tugged at Chen Heng's hanging sleeves and looked at him expectantly, her intentions self-evident.
"..."
Wei Lingjiang glanced at Chen Heng lightly, then pulled back the green branch like a rabbit.
"I want to buy a flying sword."
Chen Heng cupped his hands and said.
"I don't know what grade my friend needs? A low-grade talisman or a medium-grade weapon?"
The smile on Hao Qingyan's face became even brighter, he returned the salute and said:
"Seeing that it has only been a few days since the Jingu Market reopened, all the shops and stores have already prepared their goods. I, Old Hao, have always kept in mind that Taoist friends want to buy flying swords. My friend left a few things that I liked, but——"
The plump steward in purple gave a flattering smile, bowed his waist, rubbed two fingers and said:
"Have you heard, fellow Taoist, that the master of Huaiwu Cave wants to reopen the 'Huaiwu Cave'?"
Chen Heng nodded slightly.
"Originally it was fine, but once the 'Huaiwu Cave' opened, all the fellow Taoists went crazy trying to get a good ranking, so the price is——"
Hao Qingyan lowered his voice, glanced left and right, and then said:
"The price is slightly higher than usual by 10% or 20%..."
After saying these words anxiously, Chen Heng and others still had no expressions on their faces, and they left without even turning around.
Hao Qingyan secretly clenched his fists and shouted in his heart, knowing that the order was done.
The second floor is full of low-grade talismans, mixed with some Taoist arts, formation disks, flower and bird entertainment devices, such as fox maidens and sharks, etc.
Hao Qingyan was also very good at observing words and expressions. He only took a few people for a brief tour, and then led Chen Heng and others to the third floor.
The sculptures on this floor are far better than those seen before.
The first thing you see when you look at it is a bright pearl hanging high in the sky. It is as bright as fire and bright as stars, shining brightly all over the room.
The pearl seemed to be breathing like a living thing. Every few dozen breaths, nine pores would appear from the pearl. It was like nine pupils opening, looking around and scanning across the entire layer of the earth. The power of thunder could not be triggered. After taking a breath, it slowly closed again, and the holes disappeared.
"Nine-threaded Fixation Divine Photo Formation?"
Wei Ling Jiang looked away from the pearl and didn't care.
At this time, there was another layer of restrictions at the entrance to the third floor, blocking several people.
"Fellow Taoists, please wait a moment. Please allow me to explain."
Hao Qingyan laughed, took out Baojuzhai's talisman from his waist, pinched a spell with one hand, shook it in the air, and then shouted loudly:
"Mr.
When the voice fell.
I don't know where this building is, but a spiritual consciousness as vast as a mountain descended from the air, towering and inexplicable. The consciousness only glanced at a few people briefly, and then withdrew again.
"please."
A clear voice suddenly sounded, and the restraint in front of him was released. After Chen Heng and others entered, it was slowly closed again.
"Mr.
Hao Qingyan sighed with infinite melancholy before leading him forward.
The third floor is full of jade railings and vermilion inlays, with rich colors. Not only is the scene between this floor and the second floor very different, but there are no Taoist priests to monitor it.
Coming and going, there were only a few Baojuzhai stewards dressed in purple like Hao Qingyan, leading the guests to wander around and sometimes stop.
Looking around, I could see hundreds of square crystal jade cases. On each table, there were some talismans, treasures, or elixirs of foreign medicine. Chen Heng even vaguely saw a few cases. A secret treasure of the devil's way, bloody and evil. Even though it was sealed on the jade case, there was still a faint feeling of resentment.
"Fellow Taoist, let's see, what about this strange beast?"
When passing by a jade case, Hao Qingyan suddenly laughed and asked Chen Heng to look at the object on his left hand.
There was actually a living creature on the jade table, and it was a small parrot with bright fur.
Seeing several people looking at him, the parrot fluttered its wings in displeasure, and immediately screamed at the top of its voice, but its scream was like an old toad growing at the bottom of a pond, making it hoarse and unpleasant to hear.
When the parrot screamed, its eyes were as red as blood, and a stream of red smoke faintly floated out from the eye sockets, making it look like a sad and evil ghost.
"This thing is called the Red Lingcai Parrot. It was caught from the extremely remote and wild forests of the Southern Region. It can be regarded as a real monster."
Hao Qingyan smiled earnestly and said:
"Don't think that its sound is unrefined, but its demonic cry is quite powerful. A monk at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Qi training will immediately break his bones and tendons after eating it, and he will not be able to get up after a while. It's very useful in fighting! Originally, Baojuzhai caught dozens of them, but who would have thought that the 'Huaiwu Cave' was about to open again. In order to compete for a good ranking, everyone is rushing to buy it first, so now we can only This is the only one left.”
"If you are interested, fellow Taoist."
Hao Qingyan opened his mouth and said: "I can decide to drop some talisman money, which can be regarded as a filial piety to my fellow Taoist, Mr. Hao."
"Can this red parrot speak human words?"
Chen Heng asked casually.
"This... it's not possible. All monsters need to refine the Henggu before they can talk about human nature. This Cai Ying's skill is not enough, I'm afraid it's still far from refining the Henggu. If it reaches that level of kung fu, , I’m afraid this demonic cry ability can be doubled several times, but it won’t be the price it is today.”
Having said this, Hao Qingyan hurriedly made up his mind.
It is said that the ancestor of this Red Lingcai parrot is suspected to have the blood of a blue bird. If it is raised well, it may be able to return to its ancestors and become pure in the future. Even if it transforms into a blue bird, it is unknown.
Hearing these words, Qingzhi's eyes turned red and burst into flames. He clenched his fists and was about to fight Hao Qingyan, but Wei Ling Jiang quickly held her in his arms and quickly covered her mouth.
"..."
Hao Qingyan was stunned for a while, quite confused, but when he turned around and saw that Chen Heng was not interested in it, he also took his interest and led him to the next Fang Yu case.
What he saw along the road were all kinds of treasures. Chen Heng originally wanted to just buy the flying sword, but all the things he had never seen before, he stopped from time to time. Seen it.
…
…
"The golden body of Bailu Youshen contains a lot of water divine power and human willpower. For those who practice incense and fire, this fist-sized piece is difficult to buy even with three hundred talismans." have to!"
Hao Qingyan pointed to a strange fragment as smooth as glass and said with a smile:
"It's a pity that the Taoist teachings of the incense and the power of a single stick of incense have been spread outside. It has always been too high and too low. It can only be used to amuse people. It is of little use after it is practiced. It is just a faggot.
And those who are the best are all collected by the Sima clan, and they have never been willing to let them go easily... I don't know why such supreme immortal nobles cling to the incense and will not let go, it is very strange! I heard that they were passed down from some ancient times to this day. It’s such a long ancient history! It’s truly a profound achievement of Broad and Bright! "
"The Sima clan among the twelve generations?"
Chen Heng looked away from Bai Lu Youshen's golden body and said.
In addition to the eight sects and six sects in Xudutian, there are also twelve aristocratic families, each with its own territory. They have deep roots and can be said to have vast magical powers.
The Tangting Sima family is one of them.
However, this clan is located in Xiyizhou, which is located in the far west.
The two western states, whether Xisuzhou, Xiyizhou, or even the entire Western Sea, are filled with countless kingdoms of gods, gods, demons, and Zen lands, all of which coexist and are extremely complex.
This situation is also due to the fact that although the West is as vast as two states, there is only one spiritual cave, which is located on an overseas spiritual island and is occupied by Wenhuang Sect, one of the eight sects and six sects.
Although Xisu and Xiyi have vast lands, they are not valued by the Xuan Sect Demon Sect because they do not have spiritual caves.
But as for why the entire western land is a mixture of thousands of Taoisms, and why there is even a Samana religious tradition, the Taoist book that Chen Heng saw was not clear about it, and he only skimmed it.
"Yes, it is the Sima clan of the Twelve Generations, the Sima clan of the royal family!"
Hao Qingyan was filled with emotion:
"If you are born in a clan of the Twelve Generations, it will be like stepping into the gate of Yuanshen with just one foot. You need a law and a partner, not to mention wealth! If I were a member of the clan, I can't say that. I can open my own shop! A shop that is ten times bigger than Baojuzhai!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After Hao Qingyan finished speaking with great enthusiasm, Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh before Chen Heng said anything.
"The emperor always uses a golden hoe to hoe the ground, and he has to add two green onions to the flatbread he eats, right?"
Qingzhi put his hands on his hips: "You kid, read more books and don't be too uneducated! And -"
The girl became anxious again as she spoke:
"That bullshit Red Lingcai Parrot has nothing to do with the Blue Bird! Where did you hear it? Don't be too ridiculous! Hu——"
Halfway through the words, Wei Lingjiang covered his mouth again with an expressionless expression. Chen Heng didn't take it seriously and said calmly:
"She went out in a hurry. She hasn't eaten the morning meal and is already so hungry that she can't think clearly. Don't mind it, steward. Please continue."
"This little boy is wrong. Who said that the Twelve Aristocratic Family will not open shops? Who in this world can do without merchants? At most, they can open more shops."
Hao Qingyan didn't take it seriously, patted his round belly, laughed loudly, and continued:
"Fellow Taoist, let's see, this elixir is called Dabao Huang elixir. It can increase the body's qi and blood and replenish the essence..."
Hao Qingyan didn't find it too troublesome. He must have seen Chen Heng's desire to increase his knowledge. Whenever he passed by the jade case, he would briefly say a few words about it.
External elixir, thunder gang turbid energy, magic array, puppet furnace...
And among them.
There are even superficial practice tips for the martial arts of gods and demons from outside the world, fragments of superior Taoist techniques, and various techniques for refining ancestral sacrifices from the gods in the West...
After spending half an hour circling the entire three floors, Chen Heng finally selected three suitable flying swords.
The turbid sword.
Dragon Pan Sword.
Qinglu Sword——
——
"Both the Yin Zhuo Sword and the Dragon Pan Sword are medium-grade talismans, and the restraints are also the Tianbao Great Forbidden, twelve restraints! And they are from the hands of Xue Xuan, the refiner of Shenhuo Cliff. They use fine materials and extraordinary materials. They have always been used. The price is priceless!”
Seeing Chen Heng frowning slightly, Hao Qingyan felt anxious and quickly changed his words:
"As for this Qinglu Sword, although it is a Nineteen Heavenly Treasures Great Taboo and is of higher quality, the price is also several times more expensive! It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective!
With the current Qi training level of fellow Taoist, the middle-grade talisman that drives the twelve prohibitions is just barely suitable. When he achieves true qi in the future, it is time to use the full power of this talisman! "
A mid-grade talisman is no better than a low-grade talisman.
Logically speaking, only a Taoist Taoist who has cultivated Zhen Qi can fully utilize the power of a mid-grade talisman.
However, because Chen Heng’s total amount of fetal breath is more than ten times that of other Qi practitioners, he is almost comparable to some low-level Zhenqi. This is why he can easily control the Thunder Fire, Thunderbolt Yuanzhu and Liuxiao Ruler in the Qi training realm. reason.
If they are Qi practitioners like Yangshan Taoist and Rong Jin, although they can also use mid-level talismans to defend against enemies, they cannot fully display their functions. They are often several percent weaker and cannot last long.
As for the high-grade talisman.
Then it's even more different...
High-grade talismans can easily destroy mountains and cut off flows with one strike. Magical weapons of this grade can only be obtained by Dongxuan and a few great monks from Zifu.
Magical weapons of this level are rare not to mention in Baojuzhai, and often require bidding to obtain them. However, no matter how broad Chen Heng's fetal breath is, he will never be able to activate it. Holding it in his hand is useless at the moment. .
Therefore, from the very beginning, he wanted to buy a medium-grade talisman.
——
"The Yin Zhuo Sword uses some dark iron, which makes it look very gray and the color is not very nice. In my humble opinion, it is better to buy the Dragon Pan Sword. It is bright, majestic and grand!"
Hao Qingyan was still trying to persuade him and spent his whole life talking.
"Is the Dragon Pan Sword more expensive than the Yin Zhuo Sword?" Chen Heng suddenly said.
"It's friendly and knowledgeable! It's more expensive...but not too expensive."
Hao Qingyan laughed sarcastically and scratched his head.
"As long as it's suitable, the foreign minister doesn't matter."
"That fellow Taoist likes the Yin Zhuo Sword. It's easy to talk to. I -"
"Qinglu Sword."
Wei Lingjiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Bring it here."
"..."
Chen Heng turned around and looked.
Wei Lingjiang just looked calm, didn't speak anymore, and didn't pay attention to him.
"what ever."
He looked away and said.
Hao Qingyan was stunned at first, but then he listened to the instructions, went to a jade platform to remove the restrictions, carefully held a green magic sword in his hand, and handed it over.
"Fellow Taoist, this sword is quite expensive..."
He licked the corners of his lips and looked a little hesitant: "Otherwise, it's still the Yin Zhuo Sword, right?"
"Sister, it's your turn."
Chen Heng looked calm.
Hao Qingyan turned around in shock.
I saw Wei Lingjiang handing something over casually. When he took it, the corners of his eyes twitched so hard that he almost dropped the Qinglu Sword to the ground.
"French money?!"
Hao Qingyan's whole body trembled violently, and his fat body undulated like water waves.
"I also want to compete for a place in the 'Huaiwu Cave', but to enter the cave, I need a robe to be with me."
After taking the Qinglu Sword and examining it again, Chen Heng put it into the Qiankun bag. Shi Shiran handed it over and said to Hao Qingyan, who had not yet recovered from the shock:
"Excuse me, please take the trouble and choose another cassock for me."
"..."
Hao Qingyan still seemed to be in a daze, and it wasn't until a few breaths passed that he finally came back to his senses. Hearing Chen Heng's request, he hurriedly nodded and spoke, and carefully explained the robes in Baojuzhai one by one.
"...so expensive?"
I heard that even the cheapest mid-grade robes have eighteen divine treasures and great prohibitions.
Chen Heng's hand reaching for his Qiankun bag froze slightly.
He pulled down his sleeves and robe and said as if nothing had happened:
"It doesn't have to be a medium-grade talisman, just a low-grade talisman."
"Everyone knows that the 'Huaiwu Cave' is about to open, and you need a robe to enter it. All the lower-grade robes have been sold out, and only the middle-grade robes are left, which are still the most expensive!"
Hao Qingyan spread his hands and laughed again:
"Why are you so poor, fellow Taoist? Your wife is so rich! We are one family! Why do we need to live apart from one another?!"
Wei Lingjiang has not spoken yet.
And this time.
Suddenly there was another voice.
"What a coincidence. Senior brother is also going to Huaiwu Cave?"
Chen Heng followed the sound and saw Zhu Wanzhi and a group of people from Baihe Cave not far away. Seeing him looking over, the leader Zhou Xingling smiled and waved.
"Get a vestment."
Zhu Wanzhi came forward with a blushing face. The beautiful girl almost didn't dare to raise her head to look at Chen Heng. She just took out the Qiankun bag:
"I want the most expensive one! I want to give it to senior brother!"
"..."
Hao Qingyan was dumbfounded for a moment. He looked at Wei Lingjiang, Chen Heng and Zhu Wanzhi. He couldn't accept or push him.
And beside Chen Heng.
Wei Lingjiang's expression remained calm, but his eyes were unconsciously colder.
