Xu Shi is approaching, and lights have begun to light up in Danxia Town.
On the most remote street in the west end of Danxia Town, two people were walking slowly side by side. The huge street was very quiet, and they could only hear the footsteps of the two people. However, in the east end of Danxia Town, the lights were bright and there were a lot of people. The contrast is very strong.
"We're almost there, Brother Yang. Ye Dao behaves in a strange way. If you have any dissatisfaction, please don't get angry, Brother Yang. Business is important." The two of them were Lin Yang and Mu Ning, who were approaching the gate of a small house with a high wall. When entering the house, Mu Ning turned his head and whispered a reminder in Lin Yang's ear.
Lin Yang nodded and responded softly: "I know, Brother Mu, rest assured that Yang is not a reckless person."
"Bah, bang, bang," Mu Ning knocked on the copper ring on the door of the small house three times in a row. He knocked very softly, but in this secluded street, the sound was particularly loud.
Two breaths passed, and there was no movement in the house.
Muning waited for a while, then tapped the copper ring again, this time three times, but the difference was that this time he paused slightly before tapping the third time.
With a creak, the door opened, and a strange man with the appearance of an adult and the body of a child walked out. He was holding a red lantern in his hand. He didn't know what the lantern was made of. The red light was a bit dazzling.
The weirdo stood on tiptoe, held up a lantern and waved it in front of Mu Ning and Lin Yang respectively, and then asked aloud: "Do you have a Night Island Order?" His voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
"I have Ye Dao Ling, he is my friend." Mu Ning showed a triangular black metal token.
The weirdo glanced at the token and ignored Mu Ning. He raised his head and stared at Lin Yang, asking, "What do you want when you come to Ye Island?"
"Practice skills." Lin Yang lowered his head slightly and answered softly.
"Practice skills are expensive, do you have enough Yuan Stones?" The weirdo looked Lin Yang up and down, as if he was examining Lin Yang's financial resources.
Lin Yang was a little dissatisfied with the weirdo's unscrupulous scrutiny and cold words, but he remembered Mu Ning's previous reminder and endured it.
"It's not much, but it should be enough to buy a book of practice techniques." Lin Yang raised his head and his eyes fell directly on the messy, henhouse-like hair on the top of the weirdo's head.
"Hehe, as long as the Yuan Stone is enough." The weirdo laughed strangely, and then said to Muning: "You brought people here. If something goes wrong, you have to take responsibility."
"Of course I know this. If you are not a trustworthy friend, I will not bring him here." After Mu Ning finished speaking, he reached out and patted Lin Yang's shoulder gently.
"Come in with me." The weirdo took the lead with a red lantern, leading Lin Yang and Mu Ning into the door.
After walking around the screen wall, passing the lotus pond and floating bridge, and then walking through the winding corridor, we finally came to a courtyard.
There are eight huts side by side on the left and right sides of the courtyard. On the door of each hut is a small wooden sign with a different number written on it, one to four on the left and five to eight on the right. Oil lamps were lit in several of the eight huts, emitting a dim yellow light through the window paper.
"Room Three." After the weirdo led Lin Yang and Mu Ning here, he coldly dropped a few words and turned around and left.
"Brother Yang, I won't go in. I'll wait for you here. I wish Brother Yang in advance that he will get his wish." Mu Ning said to Lin Yang with a smile.
Lin Yang nodded and walked straight to room three.
"Dong dong dong." Lin Yang gently knocked on the door a few times.
The lights came on in the originally dark cabin, "Please come in," a voice came from inside.
Lin Yang pushed the door open and saw a long counter dividing the small room in half. A dark curtain hung above the counter, only revealing a two-inch wide gap. Looking through the gap, you could see someone sitting behind the black curtain. Looking at a person, one cannot clearly see their appearance and cannot tell the difference between male and female.
"Please take a seat. I wonder what your distinguished guest needs?" The voice behind the curtain was made by a man. His tone was gentle and polite, which was in sharp contrast to the weirdo carrying the red lantern earlier.
"Practice the exercises." Lin Yang sat down outside the curtain.
"There are two levels of skills available for sale here: Xuan level and Huang level. I wonder what level of skills your distinguished guest needs?"
"Yellow level." Lin Yang only has a total of more than 300 low-grade Yuan stones, and he has no hope of Xuan-level skills.
"The price range for the upper-grade Huang-level skills is 600 to 800 lower-grade Yuan stones; the price range for the middle-grade Yellow-level skills is 400 to 600 lower-grade Yuan stones; the price for the lower-grade Huang-level skills is generally 300 Between 400 low-grade Yuan stones. I wonder which yellow-level technique your distinguished guest will choose?" The man behind the curtain continued to give Lin Yang multiple-choice questions.
"Huang level is inferior." Lin Yang was helpless. Without enough Yuan stones, he could only choose the lowest level technique.
"There are seven books of low-level Huang-level exercises. Distinguished guest, please take a look first." As the man inside the curtain spoke, he took out seven books of exercises from behind the curtain and placed them in a row on the counter in front of Lin Yang. .
"Please take back the skills that cost more than three hundred and fifty yuan of low-grade Yuan Stone." Lin Yang could tell from the opponent's posture that this was not a place for bargaining, so he took the initiative to remove these skills that he could not afford. Law, so as not to waste each other's time.
When the people inside the curtain heard about it, they immediately took away six books of practice techniques, leaving only one book called "Liu Bo Lu".
Lin Yang was dumbfounded at the moment. He had no choice at all!
He picked up "Liu Bo Lu" and turned to the first page. As soon as he saw the first sentence: "Liu Bo Lu" is..., he heard the person behind the curtain say: "Once you read it, you will see In order to agree to the purchase, distinguished guest, please hand over three hundred and thirty yuan of low-grade Yuanshi."
"I've only read a few words. Doesn't it count as reading?" Lin Yang said in explanation, with a tone clearly showing some reluctance to buy "Liu Bo Lu".
Because he had already obtained a book that seemed to be about cultivation techniques from the middle-aged man who set up the stall, Lin Yang was not very eager to get "Liu Bo Lu". After all, he still didn't know what the exercises were. Fineness. Moreover, as soon as he heard the three words "Liu Bo Lu", he was a little resistant to this technique and didn't like it very much. He originally wanted to browse the general content before making a decision, but he didn't expect that Ye Dao had such a tyrannical rule: if you browse through it, you must buy it!
"Dear guest, please deliver the Yuan Stone." The voice behind the curtain was no longer as gentle as before.
Lin Yang was displeased, but he knew that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. Ye Dao was so powerful that it was far beyond what a seventh-level warrior like him could provoke.
As if sensing Lin Yang's displeasure, the person behind the curtain changed the topic and said: "If the distinguished guest really doesn't want to buy "Liu Bo Lu", I have a copy of the same price, and the level is not low, at least. It should have reached Xuan level."
"Should it at least reach Xuan level?" Lin Yang suspected that he heard wrongly.
"Because this skill is incomplete." The tone of the person behind the curtain gradually became calm, and he continued: "Of course, the choice is yours. Do you want "Liu Bo Lu" or this one?"
After the person behind the curtain finished speaking, he placed a thin book on the counter.
"Huntian Dafang Sutra?" Lin Yang saw the title on the cover at a glance. He reached out and was about to turn over the Dafang Sutra, but suddenly remembered Ye Dao's rule of buying it after flipping through it, so he quickly retracted his hand.
"Whether it's the Dafang Jing or the Liu Bo Lu, has your guest decided?" The person behind the curtain did not give Lin Yang too much time to think, and asked Lin Yang to make a decision quickly.
"Although the Dafang Jing is incomplete, its grade is much higher than that of "Liu Bo Lu". Anyway, it is just a temporary transitional technique. I might as well choose the incomplete Dafang Jing. This will not be too insulting to my qualifications of Jiu Ming Pulse." Lin Yang weighed it again and again, and finally chose the incomplete "Huntian Dafang Jing".
After handing over the Yuan Stone and Dafang Sutra, there was no movement behind the curtain.
"The transaction has been completed, why don't you give me a Night Island Token?" Lin Yang thought that he would not have to deal with Ye Dao in the future. With a Night Island Token in hand, he would not need to trouble Mu Ning anymore.
"Only by consuming more than a thousand yuan of low-grade Yuan Stone on this island at one time can you obtain the Night Island Order." It took a moment for the voice to come out from behind the curtain, and there was already a hint of coldness in the voice.
"Is it because I spend less and don't have any Yuan Stone? A piece of broken iron seems so rare. Ye Dao, just wait for me. One day, I will make you beg me to accept the Ye Dao Order!" Lin Yang suppressed the anger in his heart and swore secretly in his heart.
…
In a Danxia shop in Danxia Town, Lin Yang and Mu Ning were sitting opposite each other.
""Huntian Dafang Jing"! Why did you buy it? This is three hundred low-grade Yuan stones! Not three hundred useless stones." Mu Ning looked at the thin book in Lin Yang's hand and exclaimed, his face There was a look of pain on his face.
"Brother Mu, what do you mean by this?" Lin Yang didn't know why.
Mu Ning didn't say anything, and turned around and went into the shop. When he came out, he was holding a thin book in his hand, with the five characters "Huntian Dafang Jing" written on the cover.
"Is it possible that I bought a fake?" Lin Yang became uneasy.
"Of course the skills are real. Although Ye Dao is a bit overbearing in business, he still needs a little face. However, what they sold you is a useless book." Mu Ning casually handed over the Dafang Jing in his hand. He threw it on the counter and said dejectedly: "If I had known that you would have to spend three hundred lower-grade Yuan stones to buy the Dharma Sutra, I might as well give you my copy and I'll give you a 50% discount, or a hundred lower-grade Yuan stones would be fine. ."
"Brother Mu, the matter has come to an end, and there is no use in talking any more. Please tell me first, why is the Dafang Jing a useless book? People in Ye Island say that it is at least a Xuan-level skill." Lin Yang knew that he had been fooled. He was taken advantage of, but he wanted to be an obvious taker.
Muning lamented and said: "The level of the "Huntian Dafang Jing" is indeed not low, but it is a broken copy and can only be cultivated to the Yuanji realm."
"It's not bad to be able to cultivate to the Yuanji realm." Lin Yang is now a disciple of the Danxia sect after all. Although he is only a handyman disciple, he knows a little bit about Yuanxiu. He knew that there were nine realms in Yuanxiu: Condensing Yuan Realm, Yuanji Realm, Baixuan Realm, Tianlun Realm, Yuanfu Realm, Fuling Realm, Dharma Realm, True Presence Realm, and Supreme Realm. Back in Xian'an City, Lin Yang faced Lin Tianhao, who was only at the first level of the Condensing Yuan Realm, and had little power to fight back. Therefore, he believed that Yuan Xiu who could cultivate to the Yuan Ji realm was already very powerful.
"If it can be successfully cultivated to the Yuanji realm, I won't say it is useless. The Dafang Jing is hateful because when it is promoted from the Condensing Yuan realm to the Yuanji realm, it requires three lines of Yuanji Dan. You said this is not Are you kidding me?" Mu Ning felt a little itchy when he talked about the Dafang Jing. He said bitterly: "Ordinary Yuan cultivators can get a double-grain Yuanji Dan, which is considered capable. Three-grain Yuanji Dan, you Even if you have enough Yuan Stone, you have to be able to find a place to buy it. The Danxia Sect is pretty good at alchemy, but I haven’t heard of any time when they refined the Three Patterns Yuan Ji Dan. This obviously doesn’t allow people to practice it. Well, if it’s not useless, who will be? Otherwise, a cultivation technique that is at least a Mysterious level and can be bought with three hundred low-grade Yuan Stones, can it become a piece of bad stuff on the street?”
"Three Patterns Yuan Ji Dan, isn't this a technique tailor-made for me?" Lin Yang listened, and his somewhat annoyed mood suddenly became happy. Three Patterns Yuan Ji Dan is out of reach for others. Things, but for Lin Yang, they are within reach.
"Brother Yang?" Mu Ning saw that Lin Yang was a little distracted and thought that Lin Yang was regretting the Dafang Sutra, so he comforted him: "I'm lucky, I only lost 300 low-grade Yuan stones. Although the Dafang Sutra is not suitable, Cultivation, but the cultivation experience can still be used for reference.”
"Brother Mu, thank you for your kindness. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." Lin Yang was not an excuse. It was almost Haishi. If Lin Yang went back too late, it would be difficult for the disciples guarding the mountain.
"Then I'll be here waiting for Brother Yang's next visit." Mu Ning sent Lin Yang out of a shop, bid farewell to Lin Yang warmly, and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, when Lin Yang would come again.
Lin Yang knew Mu Ning's thoughts, so he said to Mu Ning in a positive tone: "Brother Mu, don't worry, next time Yang comes to Danxia Town, there will definitely be a shop first."
After receiving Lin Yang's clear and affirmative reply, the smile on Mu Ning's face became fuller. He stood at the door of the store and waved until Lin Yang disappeared.
Because of his last encounter with brothers Li Chang and Li Gu, Lin Yang was much more cautious now. It wasn't until he left Danxia Town dozens of miles away and walked to a remote mountain road that he used the Mystical Art to change his appearance.
At this time, it was dark and there was no moon. Lin Yang's eyesight was very good, so he could naturally see the mountain road clearly, which would not hinder his night walking. However, he just got a listening bead today, and he felt itchy unconsciously, so he took out the listening bead and put it on the Palm.
"Papa", Lin Yang snapped his fingers twice, startling the birds that were already perched on the nearby trees to flutter away in panic.
At the same time, the sound-listening bead in Lin Yang's hand began to glow brightly. The green light reflected the green color of Lin Yang's palm, which looked really scary. But the middle-aged man who set up the stall was right. Listening beads are really good for traveling. There is no need to light a fire or refuel, saving money and effort.
Lin Yang walked a few miles with the Listening Bead and then lost the novelty, so he was ready to put the Listening Bead away.
Suddenly, Lin Yang's expression suddenly changed, because he sensed hundreds of auras of varying strengths and weaknesses approaching him rapidly from all directions.
