Both he and Tiehu were stuck at a bottleneck and needed Huang Lingdan to help them break through. This stumped Zhou Yang, and he couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
Zhou Yang discussed with Tie Hu that now that he had the spirit stone, there was still a lot left after deducting various expenses. He wanted to buy a space storage bag.
In fact, he had this idea when he was in Tu Yancheng, but he had no choice but to think about it because he was short of money.
Zhou Yang earned all the spiritual stones, so Tie Hu certainly had no objection to this and even praised Zhou Yang for his ability.
Zhou Yang's life experience was unfortunate and he was orphaned when he was young. However, God gave him the opportunity to refine the Huang Ling Dan, which allowed him to practice without the need for spiritual stones below the Tianyuan realm.
Based on his and Tiehu's current state, each of them needs at least three first-grade spiritual stones every day, and they can absorb four with all their strength, which means that the two of them need more than 200 first-grade spiritual stones every month.
Without Huang Ling Dan, at the original rate of earning Ling Stone, they would not know how long it would take to reach the peak of Kaiyuan, let alone have enough money to purchase the elixir and magic weapon. This is also the reason why Mo Chenglong's spirit stones are never enough.
Now that their business is on the right track and there is a surplus of spiritual stones, Zhou Yang can realize some of his wishes.
When I was in Tu Yan City, I could only bid on the space storage bag in the auction house, and even the lowest level one cost a thousand first-grade spiritual stones. In Anping City, low-end storage bags can be purchased in stores.
On this day, Zhou Yang entered Anping City with more than a thousand spiritual stones in his arms.
It stands to reason that with his current net worth, he should have enough left over to buy a low-end storage bag. But when he arrived at the store and asked about it, he felt a little stupid.
The lowest-end storage bag actually costs 1,350 yuan!
This price is 30% more than previously thought. Could it be that the price of materials has increased due to the animal epidemic?
The total amount of spiritual stones he has should be 1,300 yuan, but it is still 50 yuan short, and this store does not allow counter-offers, so why not buy a bird!
I can only forget it and talk about it later.
Zhou Yang was a little frustrated and turned around to leave.
"Isn't this Fellow Daoist Zhou? Why do you have time to come here today?" A voice came from behind him.
Zhou Yang sounded familiar, and when he turned around, it was Manager Liu! Only then did he realize that the store here was opened by Tongzhou Trading Company. But as far as he knew, Manager Liu was not in charge of this store.
"It turns out it's Manager Liu, please be polite." Zhou Yang raised his hand and said, "I'm just walking around casually today, Manager Liu is..."
"Oh, the manager of this store has been transferred to another place, and the company has asked me to take care of it temporarily. I see that Zhou Daoyou is paying attention to the storage bags. Just tell me which one you like. I can still make the final decision on the price." Manager Liu said with a smile.
He spotted Zhou Yang just now. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after taking a closer look, he was surprised. After not seeing him for a few days, he unexpectedly reached the peak of Kaiyuan. This surprised him, so he took the initiative to say hello.
When Zhou Yang heard what Manager Liu said, he was secretly happy. But he understood that he couldn't always ask others to help him, otherwise he would really treat himself as an outsider. He said, "Thank you, Manager Liu, but you are doing business, and I cannot break the rules of your store."
"It doesn't matter, I can still handle dozens of spiritual stones. What's more, if you come here to buy things, you're also taking care of my business." Manager Liu waved his hand.
"So, thank you, steward. I want this storage bag!" Zhou Yang pointed at the counter.
"No problem." Manager Liu asked the clerk to take out the storage bag and hand it to Zhou Yang, and then said: "Thirteen hundred spiritual stones, Fellow Daoist Zhou, take it."
"Then I accept your kindness." Zhou Yang took the storage bag and said.
"Little things, little things."
After paying the spirit stone, Zhou Yang said goodbye to Manager Liu, who personally delivered him to the door.
"This boy is young, his cultivation has advanced rapidly, he is calm and capable, he is also disciplined in his work, and he is smart in business. If he is willing to join the company, it will be a great help to me." Manager Liu looked at Zhou Yang's back , thinking secretly.
Zhou Yang was very excited after finally possessing the legendary space storage bag. He walked slowly out of the store and found a deserted place. He quickly took out a palm-sized storage bag, injected his energy into it, and the storage bag opened automatically.
The clerk at the counter said that the internal space of this storage bag was the size of two rooms, and since he had not formed his spiritual consciousness, he could not consciously penetrate it to check, but he felt that the space should not be small and it would be enough.
He opened his skin bag again and put the moonlight halberd, mountain fox shield, alchemy furnace and other items into the storage bag one by one.
In addition to these, he also threw in a few bottles of good wine in his bag. The storage bag in my hand is still the size of a palm, and its weight has not increased.
Zhou Yang was very curious, "The material of this thing must be extraordinary. It can hold things in it. It must be related to space. Being able to refine a space storage bag, such a refiner is really brilliant."
If you want to take out an item, you can only use your hands to feel inside, find what you want, and then take it out.
If you reach the Lingtai realm and have spiritual consciousness, then you don't have to go to such trouble. As long as your spiritual consciousness penetrates into it and your mind moves, the items you need will automatically appear. No wonder few Kaiyuan cultivators have storage bags. It’s not only a matter of spiritual stones, but also of realm limitations.
Zhou Yang has also seen cultivators with storage bags. Most of them hang around their waists, which are very conspicuous and very cool to look at. But his cultivation level was too low, and he didn't dare to hang such a valuable thing on his waist openly.
After thinking about it, he put the storage bag in his arms. Only in this way did he feel safe. However, the skin was not lost. It was normal for a Kaiyuan cultivator to have a skin and would not arouse suspicion.
So he hung the leather bag around his waist and filled it with some ordinary materials.
In this way, the attire is the same as that of the Xian family, with a long sword on the left and a leather pouch on the right.
After doing this, Zhou Yang came to Freefang City, walked around casually, inquired about some information, and then left the city.
Not long after they walked out of the city gate, they met a team head-on.
This team is very neat, all wearing black helmets and black armor.
Those black-armored guards rode giant lizards and were divided into two teams, front and rear. There were six giant lizards in front and five in the rear. There were three people sitting on the giant lizard at the front of the row, and five people on the other giant lizards. In the middle of the two teams of giant lizards were ten lower-ranking but huge earth-walking dragons, with twenty people sitting on the back of each earth-walking dragon.
Zhou Yang hurriedly avoided the team, but his eyes curiously swept around these people.
The total number of the team is about three hundred, with two teams of fifty black-armored guards at the front and back, and the rest are low-level cultivators and mortals. These fifty black-armored guards are all cultivators of the Lingtai realm, including ten in the late Lingtai stage and forty in the middle stage.
Among the three people at the front, two of them have stronger auras than the late guards of the Lingtai, and they should be peak cultivators of the Lingtai. But the man named Elder Shou has a much stronger aura than these two people, and he is actually a master of Tianyuan!
This lineup is very strong.
With Zhou Yang's cultivation level, he can at most detect cultivators who are in the late Lingtai stage and below, but those who are above the late Lingtai stage have to guess.
The reality is similar to what Zhou Yang guessed. In this team, the old man is indeed a Tianyuan master. The other two are both at the pinnacle of the Lingtai realm.
The more than 200 low-level cultivators and mortals in the middle of the team all looked sad and depressed.
Fortunately for the mortals, those cultivators in the Kaiyuan Realm had obviously lost their freedom and were motionless on the Earthly Dragon. The acupuncture points should have been sealed.
"Are these all prisoners? Who are those black-armored guards?" Zhou Yang was full of doubts.
At this moment, two black-armored guards jumped off the giant lizard and walked straight towards him.
"Are you Zhou Yang?" someone asked directly.
"I, I am, do you two know me?" Zhou Yang was stunned and said in surprise.
"Someone reported to Xuanfu Sect that you are not a resident of this city, your identity is unknown, and you have killed Xuanfu Sect practitioners. Now come with us!" The black-armored guard said coldly.
"You are mistaken! I am a permanent resident of Anping City, and I have never killed anyone from the Xuanfu Sect. Moreover, I have an identity token!" After saying that, Zhou Yang stretched out his hand into his arms.
"No need!" The man refused to say anything and took action before he finished speaking.
Zhou Yang changed his color, but he would not be restrained. Just when the big hand of the black-armored guard was about to touch his shoulder, he swept back sharply, and at the same time, he swung out the long sword and grabbed the opponent's arm.
The black-armored guard missed the target with one move and received a fierce counterattack. He was furious. Instead of retracting his big hand, he changed his palm into a fist and hit Zhou Yang's chest directly with the sword peak.
With a "dang" sound, the long sword struck the black armored guard's arm diagonally, but sparks shot out. He only missed it slightly, but the opponent's fist still came like lightning through the wind.
Zhou Yang's pupils shrank sharply. He didn't expect that the black armor was so hard that he could see the sword as if it were nothing. It was simply unbelievable.
The opponent's speed is too fast and his level is much higher than Zhou Yang's. If he is hit, he will be seriously injured even if he is not dead.
If it were Zhou Yang from before, it would be impossible to avoid it. However, Zhou Yang is no longer what he used to be. Not only has he broken through to the peak state of Kaiyuan, but due to the ancient alchemy technique, his six senses have greatly improved and his body skills have also become several times faster.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, he mobilized all his energy at his feet and moved a few feet horizontally, barely able to pass the big hand of the black-armored guard.
A look of surprise flashed on the black-armored guard's face. He kept moving and his strength did not slow down. His arm suddenly swept across and hit Zhou Yang on the head.
With the previous buffer, Zhou Yang moved laterally and took the opportunity to retreat violently, while swinging his sword to block again.
At this time, due to timely dodge, the two of them were already staggered. Sparks flew everywhere, and Zhou Yang calmly avoided the second blow.
"Young Master Zhao, you are a sixth-level cultivator of the Lingtai, but you can't defeat a young boy within two moves. You must be a huge disgrace to our black-armored guards!" Another black-armored guard who was standing next to Leng Yan saw this. Scene, but couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Young Zhao's face turned red instantly, he glared at his accomplices fiercely, raised his hand and a white light appeared, targeting Zhou Yang.
"Aura!" Zhou Yang only had time to shout out two words. His arm went numb, and his entire arm lost consciousness instantly. The long sword hit the bluestone ground with a clang.
