Auspicious snow falls one after another, Jinzi Ridge is covered with pink makeup and jade, and the mountains are all white.
Under the guidance of Hu Bugui, Lu Yuan's cultivation level broke through from first-level four-star to five-star.
His attack, reaction, endurance and physique have all been significantly improved.
The power of many sword moves also increases with the improvement of cultivation level.
Facing a boulder, without using mystical strength, he might have needed to stab it three times before to break it, but now he can do it with just one blow.
There are also basic five elements mysticism. Because of the increase in mystical strength, their power also increases.
Especially the book "The Art of Engaging Flame" given by Qiu Jizi made his fire mysticism even more refined.
He wanted to further increase the speed of his practice, but after some signs of becoming obsessed, he had to give up.
Because there were no other brothers around him to compare with, he didn't know that this speed was actually very fast.
the student surpasses the master. Hu Bugui was very pleased that there was a successor to the Demon Master!
Hu Bugui's eyes shone brightly: "It is difficult for monks of the same level to cause trouble to you. When you reach the late first level, you can even leapfrog and challenge second level enemies!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said: "Yes! I will make more time to practice!"
…
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.
One day, Hu Bugui looked at Lu Yuan who was practicing swordplay on the front terrace and said: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. We are going down the mountain to Shuixi Town to buy some daily necessities and alchemy materials. Although we are monks, it is still necessary to relax a little." "
Monks can't just meditate and practice. They really need to enter the world of mortals and experience their character.
Because this is more conducive to enlightenment, and it is not easy to get carried away when attacking the realm entrance.
Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his face and sheathed his sword.
He came over and took a sip of water: "Is the Chinese New Year coming so soon? Okay! I feel like I've gained a lot during this period, so it's time to go for a walk."
Hu Bugui touched his head: "You are now a first-level five-star. According to your cultivation speed, you will be able to reach seven-star in less than half a year. At that time, we will start to capture your first demon servant."
"Wow! Demon Attendant! Are they like Wu Yu and Bai Yuan?" Lu Yuan was extremely happy.
Having a demon servant as your assistant will give you an even greater advantage in battle!
Hu Bugui nodded: "Yes. Each demon servant must live in a gourd. The higher the level of the demon servant, the higher the level requirements for the gourd. So this time we have to buy a few gourds. "
Lu Yuan said excitedly: "When should we go?"
"Tomorrow morning."
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Okay! Master, actually I have always wanted to ask, why do we have to wait until the seventh star to catch the demon servant?"
Hu Bugui said: "The demon master can only control the demon servants when he separates his spiritual thoughts. When we reach the first level of seven stars, the separated spiritual thoughts will be strong enough to control them."
…………
Shuixi Town is located in the west of Fuyi River, close to the water and backed by mountains, with beautiful scenery and dense population. It is about one hundred miles south of Jinziling.
Precisely because it is not too far from the mountains, many people come here to trade medicinal materials and mystical materials.
There are many shops on the street and people come and go. There are all kinds of delicious and fun things to eat on the roadside, which is dizzying. The joy of the New Year spreads to every corner of the town.
Lu Yuan followed his master, looking here and there, scanning goods along the way.
At the same time, miniature detection arrays are hidden in their clothes to detect abnormalities at any time.
Hu Bugui told Lu Yuan that ordinary materials and items can be purchased with secular money, while powerful materials must be purchased with black stones, and they must be purchased from large auction houses.
In a town like Shuixi Town, there is only one small auction house, and the items auctioned are not very good. And the big ones have to go to bigger cities.
Lu Yuan said: "I know the function of black stone. It can be used to restore mysterious power, set up formations, cast mysterious arts, refine magic weapons, etc. But I have been practicing in the mountains since I was a child, and I have never used black stone to buy anything."
"Oh. It's probably like this. One hundred low-grade black stones are equivalent to one medium-grade black stone. And one thousand medium-grade black stones can be exchanged for one high-grade black stone. This kind of black stone is too rare, so it is often expensive but not marketable. .”
The two of them didn't need too high-end materials for the time being, so they didn't go to the auction house to join in the fun.
Common materials are sold in ordinary stores.
While passing a street stall, Lu Yuan's eyes were attracted by something.
Rather than being attracted, it is better to say that he was summoned by this thing.
On this ordinary stall, all kinds of miscellaneous monks' supplies were piled together haphazardly.
Underneath these things, half a map drawn on parchment was revealed.
Lu Yuan looked at the stall owner, first picked up a few objects and looked at them for a while, then picked up the half of the map.
This map was very old, some of the strokes were blurred, and he had never seen the mountains and terrain depicted. When Hu Bugui looked at it, he shook his head.
The upper left corner of the map is basically complete, and there is also a red monster head with two sharp horns painted there.
What kind of monster is this? How many pieces will there be in the entire map? Lu Yuan muttered in his heart.
He put down the map, took a few other items and asked the stall owner for the price, showing that he was more interested in buying them, but felt that the price was too high and had to reluctantly part with them.
Finally, he seemed a little impatient and picked up the map and asked the price.
The stall owner also wanted to make a deal. Seeing that the customer asked for several things, he was afraid that the price would be too high and scare people away, so he quoted a relatively low price.
Lu Yuan frowned and asked if the price could be lower.
The stall owner smiled apologetically and said, "Fellow Taoist, we are all doing business sincerely. Let's each take a step back. If the price is right, you can take it immediately."
After some conversation, the deal was finally settled for three coins.
Seeing Lu Yuan take away the remaining pictures and walk away, the vendor laughed in his heart: How could there be such a fool? Ha ha! The goods I collected casually were actually sold at such a good price.
Seeing Lu Yuan put the map into the Qiankun bag, Hu Bugui said to him seriously: "Master, I can see it."
"What do you see?" Lu Yuan was confused.
"You also have a gift of supernatural powers."
"Really? What is it?"
Hu Bugui touched his chin and said with a smile:
"Taobao."
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Master, you are joking again. I have a good eye for you."
"What clues can you see on today's map?"
"I couldn't understand it. But when I first saw it, I felt a rush of blood."
"The king of street stalls and Taobao talent. Well, your wife will be lucky in the future." Hu Bugui said seriously.
For a moment, Mu Rong's appearance appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.
He blushed: "Master! I... I just want to improve my cultivation, avenge my master, and take back the jade flute!"
Hu Bugui smiled slightly and nodded.
After walking for a while, I almost bought everything.
It's already noon.
Hu Bugui said: "You must be hungry after walking for so long. An old friend of mine has opened a restaurant nearby. Let's go and support him."
