"It makes sense!" Mingluo nodded suddenly, grinning, "You and your little tiger cat are both lovable."
He raised his head again and asked, "You can also come and take a look at night. After practicing all day long, you finally encounter a bustle among the disciples. It's here. Just put on the breath-hiding cloak. You can exchange it for a few contributions from Wandao Peak. But. , I agreed, don’t steal my magic talisman.”
"Of course!" Guo Ying'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Zhao Ning, who was not very interested in the best spiritual talismans, naturally agreed.
"Okay, you can go to the exchange meeting by yourselves. I'm going to find my fellow disciples." Minluo picked up the little tiger cat's chin, waved her hand and left.
Guo Ying'er leaned next to Zhao Ning and unfolded the top-quality talisman she had grabbed. "This talisman seems to be no different from ordinary talismans. How can it increase its power?"
Zhao Ning took the talisman and turned it back and forth to look at it. The pattern of the talisman's runes was the same as that of an ordinary explosive talisman, and even the patterns were more random. There was no information about the creator on the yellow paper of the talisman, not even a logo. He was not afraid of others at all. Someone pretended to be someone else.
She put the magic talisman under her nose and smelled it. In addition to the astringent smell of cinnabar, there was also a faint sweetness that was difficult to distinguish among the cinnabar smell. "Ask me, this cinnabar seems to be mixed with something else."
Guo Ying'er blinked in surprise and sniffed hard for a moment, her brows drooping even lower.
"No, it just smells like cinnabar."
"Really?" Zhao Ning sniffed lightly again. Since she felt the cinnabar mixed with other fragrances, the sweet smell became more and more obvious, and it felt like a delicate and moist feeling like a spiritual spring in the mountains.
But Guo Ying'er didn't smell it after several sniffs. Zhao Ning smiled and shook his head and said, "I probably smelled it wrong."
Guo Ying'er said carelessly, "Why don't we try the power of this talisman and see if it's really that powerful?"
"Senior Sister Minluo will be very distressed if she hears this." Mingluo tried to grab it for a long time but couldn't get it. Guo Yinger was so excited when she got it. Minluo probably wouldn't shirk it.
"Shh, give it a try." She pulled Zhao Ning and walked out. Suddenly she paused and asked, "Where is Jin Fan?"
"She followed you, didn't she look for you?" Zhao Ning didn't know where she was. The two of them stood in the crowd and wandered around. After a while, Guo Ying'er exclaimed, "There!"
Yun Jinfan was shopping at a clothing store.
This shop probably has a long history. It is not like the stalls spread out everywhere outside. It is located in a pavilion. There are vines hanging around the pavilion, which naturally forms a curtain to isolate the outside world.
There were only female disciples in the pavilion, and there were not many of them. Most of them were running for low-level robes, and very few were wearing ordinary clothes like Yun Jinfan.
The two of them walked to the pavilion, and Yun Jinfan was asking if there was a place to change clothes and try on clothes, which almost shocked the female disciple opposite her so much that she couldn't close her jaw.
"Junior sister, these clothes are not worth much spiritual stones. If you like them, you can take them with five spiritual stones. There are so many people here, but they don't have enough clothes." The female disciple smiled again, "Junior sister, why not take a look at this robe? As long as you use your spiritual power, the robe will automatically transform into your body, and there will be no worries about size.”
Yun Jinfan's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, take them all out and take a look."
Seeing Yun Jinfan's cassocks transforming one by one, Guo Ying'er was speechless. She dragged Yun Jinfan back and said, "Jinfan, don't try it. Once the cassocks are stained with breath, they have recognized their master. You must buy them all back."
"Ah...ah?" Yun Jinfan had three pieces of colorful feather gauze folded on his body, "Recognize your master? Shouldn't you shed blood to recognize your master?"
Guo Ying'er was dumbfounded by this question. She looked at Zhao Ning, who explained, "Recognizing the owner by dripping blood is a saying in the common sayings. It is rare for spiritual weapons in the world of cultivation to be said to be recognized by the owner. After being stained with breath, spiritual energy penetrates, and is used, If you follow it, you will recognize the master, and it is quite troublesome to purify the aura of others."
Yun Jinfan lowered his head to look at the robes on his body, and then turned to look at the female disciple who was selling the robes. The female disciple smiled so guiltily that she simply stretched out her hand calmly, "Junior sister, I'm glad to meet you. There are fifty spiritual stones in total."
"You profiteer!" He said he was about to start a scene.
But it was impossible to cause trouble. After a cup of tea, Yun Jinfan hugged several wooden boxes and followed the two dejectedly.
"Aren't you going to put them back into the storage bag?" Zhao Ning asked.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuori, I have no spirit stones." Yun Jinfan hummed, "Only in this way can I comfort my empty storage bag."
Guo Ying'er smiled without any image.
Yun Jinfan was so angry that he kicked her.
The two of them fought and quarreled back to the Purple Bamboo Forest of Yunxia Peak, Zhao Ning followed behind, and it was Guo Ying'er who invited her to see the effect of the ultimate Explosive Flame Talisman.
As soon as she arrived at the Purple Bamboo Forest, Guo Ying'er found a dead bamboo. She patted the dead bamboo and turned it around twice. "With the power of the Explosive Flame Talisman, if you spread it out, this dead bamboo will definitely turn into ashes."
She chose the angle, "You two get out of the way, I'm going to recite the spell!"
Several people took three steps back. Guo Ying'er held the magic talisman between her fingers and silently recited the talisman in her mouth. After three breaths, she threw out the talisman and said, "Burn!"
As she shouted loudly, the flames jumped up, burning the dead bamboo into residue in an instant. The residue fell, and suddenly collapsed in all directions.
"Yeah!" Yun Jinfan screamed, shrank his head and hid behind the stacked wooden boxes.
Zhao Ning took a step forward and used the Water Shield Technique. The Water Shield Technique rushed away and extinguished the flames instantly.
After the black smoke passed, Zhao Ning looked at Guo Ying'er across from him in shock. Yun Jinfan poked his head out and saw Guo Ying'er in a black and gray look, and burst into laughter.
"Guo Ying'er has turned into ashes!"
Guo Yinger was so angry that she glared at her, but did not come to her. Instead, she glared behind her, "Little Black Tiger, come back here!"
Only then did the two of them realize that the little tiger cat that had been hanging around her neck pretending to be a fur collar had also abandoned her. The little tiger cat poked its head from a bamboo branch not far away, meowing, but would not come down. .
After playing around for a long time, Zhao Ning picked up a half-burnt leaf and applied a gentle force, which shattered the bamboo leaf into pieces.
Guo Ying'er pinched the Qingchen Jue, holding the little tiger cat's neck with one hand and combing her hair with the other. She walked into Zhao Ning and said, "The power of this top-grade Explosive Flame Talisman will probably be increased by more than three levels."
"Yeah." Zhao Ning scattered the ashes in his hand, "It has also drained most of the spiritual energy within the flame range. If it is stained by the flame of the ultimate explosive flame talisman, there will be no chance to extinguish the fire."
Guo Ying'er was speechless, "What a powerful talisman! Who made it?"
Zhao Ning suddenly remembered that when they were dealing with the Kong family's grandfather and grandson, they had also mentioned matters related to the talisman, but she didn't know if they knew about the top-quality talisman.
But after all, there are many strange people and magic tricks in the world, and it seems greedy to inquire into the details. Zhao Ning just shook his head and dismissed the matter.
Chapter 073
The sun had just set, and the afterglow of autumn passed quickly. After a while, the purple bamboo forest fell into silence and darkness. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the forest, and someone groped near the Zhao Ning Bamboo House. The mysterious man in black robe carefully touched the forbidden area around the courtyard. Fortunately, the forbidden area around the courtyard was not opened.
It became easier for the mysterious man to sneak in. He slipped into the room and walked around. He saw the bed curtain in the room lowered and a vague figure lying on his side.
The corners of the lips under the hood curled up into a smile, making people jump towards him off guard, but missed.
Not only did he not catch the person he wanted to tease, but he also got tangled up in the curtain.
"Oh, Zhao Ning, it's me!" Guo Ying'er struggled.
A ray of light fell on the curtain, melting a large area. Guo Ying'er broke free, opened her hood, and pouted, not satisfied. She was even more dissatisfied when she saw Zhao Ning sitting on the couch in the outer room meditating for some time.
"When did you find me coming in? I changed into this invisible cloak from Wandaofeng this afternoon, but it turns out it has no effect! It's so boring!"
Zhao Ning got down from the couch, wearing a Yunsi Qianhuan cloak, which had transformed into a normal black appearance.
"The breath has indeed been reduced by 30%. I can detect that you came in because of the ban on the bamboo house. Even if the ban is not opened, there will still be fluctuations if someone enters."
Guo Ying'er suddenly realized, "Let's go. Let's go for a secret shooting session. Jin Fan said that she has spent all her spiritual stones and will cry all night, so she won't go."
It was close to You hour when the two of them arrived at the secret auction meeting. The moonlight was dim on this day, but the secret auction meeting was extremely lively.
A stone platform is placed under a century-old locust tree. There are several lanterns hanging on the high branches of the locust tree. They are not used for lighting, but to set off the atmosphere. But many of the disciples who came ignored him, wearing a hood but not even a hood. His face was clearly visible in the crowd, and everyone knew his identity.
Zhao Ning also saw Minluo in the crowd. She and her fellow disciples and fellow disciples didn't even bother to put on their robes. They stood carelessly in the crowd talking and laughing.
In the sky above the moon, the first person stepped onto the stone platform. Without saying much, he placed a wooden sword box. The sword box opened to reveal a simple long sword. Seven layers of sacrificial refining patterns could be faintly seen on the long sword. It turned out to be A top-grade spiritual sword!
While everyone gasped in shock, the man raised his voice and said, "Everyone must know what I got from the secret realm, so I will just tell you the starting price, a thousand low-grade spiritual stones or top-grade Qi Gathering Pills."
Everyone was silent for a while. It wasn't that they didn't know the goods, but the price was too expensive. I'm afraid they came here specifically for the inner disciples.
Sure enough, after a while, a hoarse voice said, "One thousand one hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
The voice broke the waiting in the crowd, and bids were placed all at once, and the excitement of the auction was completely kicked off.
After several rounds of auctions, Zhao Ning discovered that no one actually organized this so-called secret auction. As long as you have something to auction, just go up to the stone platform, introduce yourself, and set the starting price yourself. The people below think the price is appropriate. If there is value in increasing the price, just call out the price yourself. Selling and buying are very easy.
After a few rounds, I saw a lot of good things, but Guo Ying'er never closed her mouth from the beginning to the end. Without him, the price was too expensive, and it was impossible for the poor outer disciples to buy what they wanted based on their monthly income.
"If I had known I would have asked my eldest brother for more spiritual stones. This is not training, but cultivating spiritual stones!"
Although it was a complaint, it had to be said that Zhao Ning still approved it.
While he was talking, another man in black robe walked onto the stone platform.
He took out a box and did not open it directly, but introduced it first, "I accidentally entered the ancient Jindan Cave a while ago and got a few seeds. I couldn't identify what they were for the moment. If anyone can recognize them, I will give them half the price." Out."
He just aroused everyone's curiosity, so he slowly opened the box. There was a seed the size of a broad bean in the box, wrapped in a green shell. Circles of lines were naturally formed on the shell. If you concentrate on observing those lines, you can actually see faint traces. A mysterious and mysterious feeling.
"Is this really a seed? It looks like a dead thing."
The auctioneer didn't say anything, didn't take everyone's doubts to heart, and looked confident.
"I'm afraid that the other two seeds have sprouted before he dares to swear like this." Guo Ying'er whispered.
Zhao Ning nodded and asked her if she had ever seen such seeds.
Guo Ying'er shook her head, "There are very few ancient seeds left today and can only be seen in the travel notes and anecdotes of our predecessors."
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Senior brother, everyone only knows the ancient seed by its name and rarely sees it. Why don't you describe the environment when you saw it in detail, so that everyone can make some guesses. "
"It's not that I hid it, but that it was enshrined in front of the statue of Sanqing Dharma in the cave dojo and wrapped in bark paper. The bark paper had already rotted away for nearly ten thousand years, and then it was transferred to the yellow pear wood box."
"I have heard about the cave you mentioned. I heard that it was the cave of an ancient ascetic monk who was good at elixirs. I heard from the master uncle in Fengzhong that there are a lot of elixirs found in the cave, which can be used for golden elixir realm elixirs. Refining!" Someone in the auction crowd said enviously.
The auctioneer smiled and said nothing, "Since everyone has guessed which cave it is from, I wonder if any of the learned brothers and sisters know that this thing is the seed of the elixir."
The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly someone sneered, "Don't think too wonderfully, this kind of seed is not a magical medicine seed at first glance."
The speaker was not wearing a hood, he had his arms folded and his chin raised, looking arrogant, but everyone around him was silent and did not dare to say anything. In fact, it was because this person's cultivation was in the foundation building stage. This is reasonable, this machine The person above can enter the Jindan Cave, and he is probably in the foundation-building stage.
The auctioneer smiled instead of getting angry, "Oh? Senior Brother Cheng said that, do you think he knew it?"
"Of course. In addition to being good at elixirs, this ascetic monk also loves drinking tea. There are hundreds of tea sets in the cave. Smell the seeds carefully, but there is a hint of tea fragrance."
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, doubtful as he came closer and took a sniff. The faint fragrance of tea hidden deep in the rich and rotten smell passed by his nose. Was it just a tea seed? !
Seeing the auctioneer's silence, everyone knew that what the uncle of the Foundation Architect was talking about was exactly what he said. While whispering to each other, someone said, "It turns out it's a tea seed. That means it's not worth much spiritual stone. How much will it cost if you put it at the auction?" The price has been raised." Others retorted, "Spiritual tea also has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. I even heard that in ancient times, there was spiritual tea that could help monks realize their enlightenment. It is very precious. The price of this product cannot be discussed."
While everyone was gossiping, the auctioneer was also confused. It was really shameful to put something up and then end up in despair after changing hands.
As soon as he closed the wooden box, he raised his voice and said, "Since it is a tea species, the variety is unknown, and whether it is cherished or not is unknown, then I will hang it with two hundred spiritual stones. I wonder if anyone is willing to find out the true identity of this thing. "
The price of two hundred low-grade spiritual stones is neither low nor high. Most of the people here can join in the fun, but the question is whether the two hundred low-grade spiritual stones are worth it.
While everyone was hesitating, someone from the edge of the crowd answered the price, "Two hundred pieces, I'll take it!"
The person who accepted the bid was the Uncle Foundation Establishment Master who had revealed his appearance before. Seeing the doubtful eyes from around him, he smiled disdainfully and said, "Junior Brother Mu, it's my fault, Chai, that ruined your business, so I'll bear the burden for you." The lowest price is to avoid not being able to harvest even a single low-grade spiritual stone.”
These words were clearly meant to be helpful, but actually meant to be sarcastic. The auctioneer was so angry that he said "you" and swallowed his words without knowing what he thought of.
"Two hundred spiritual stones, but there are still bidders."
The auctioneer gritted his teeth and shouted.
