"Wait a moment" Li Xun took the white paper, looked at the list listed on it and thought for a while, then said,
"I would like to congratulate fellow Taoist. Of these nine kinds of elixirs and materials, this pavilion can collect exactly seven. But these things are relatively rare, and in terms of price..."
"It doesn't matter, fellow Taoist, just go get it, including the snow crystal marrow. Mo will pay enough spiritual stones." Hearing that he could collect seven kinds, and adding the snow crystal marrow, it would be eight, Mo Juren was immediately overjoyed. .
No wonder Qiyuan Island is flocked to by countless monks. It does have its own advantages in terms of materials. You know, these things are not found even in Tianxingchenfang City.
Speaking of materials, when he met Ling Yuling before, the other party gave him a surprise, which was a large amount of rare resources that he had entrusted the other party to collect.
Since returning to Tiannan this time also yielded a lot of rewards, there were some duplications. However, at this point, all the resources needed to refine the four seventh-level demon bloods of gold, wood, fire, and earth have been collected, and we just need to find a place to start refining.
He didn't wait too long, and soon the old man returned, bringing eight kinds of materials including snow crystal marrow and agate horn.
These are all extremely rare items and are naturally worth a lot of money. However, what surprised Mo Juren was that the price offered by the other party was far lower than he expected, with a total of only more than 100,000 spirit stones.
According to his original estimate, it would be normal to have at least more than 200,000. The other party actually gave a reason. Since it was the first time to visit Cunjin Pavilion, a certain discount would be given.
This is obviously far-fetched. Cunjin Pavilion is not a charity. Even if there is a discount, it will not be so high.
Of course, since the other party said so, he was not polite and just accepted the order. Anyway, even if the other party has any purpose or calculation, he doesn't care, and he has enough confidence to deal with everything.
He settled the bill happily, then took Han Li to say goodbye and left. The old man even stood up to see them off in person, and did not return again until they could no longer see their backs.
"What's going on? Those resources are not cheap in total. Why did you offer such a low price just now? There is almost no profit." As soon as Fang sat down, a surprised voice sounded in the room.
Immediately afterwards, a vague figure suddenly emerged from the landscape painting on the wall. It turned out to be a monk in the early stage of pill formation. His white clothes were flowing and his face was covered with green light, which made him look particularly mysterious.
"Do you think Li can make the decision in this kind of thing?" The old man rolled his eyes at the other person and snorted coldly.
"What do you mean, it's not you who makes the decision, is it still..." At this point, the man in white was suddenly startled, and he reacted instantly and said,
"It turns out it was the Pavilion Master who said something, but why? Could it be..."
As if he thought of something, the man in white suddenly changed his expression, and his eyes showed shock.
"What, you figured it out?" The old man chuckled.
"Absolutely." The man in white nodded and continued,
"Just now, I have been observing carefully in secret. None of these two people are simple. They all discovered my presence after they came in. This is nothing. The one who has an ordinary appearance and is slightly younger is okay. He is definitely a pill-forming person. No doubt a monk.
However, the one named Mo is completely different. Although his specific cultivation level cannot be seen, he is as unfathomable as a bottomless abyss. The other party noticed me instantly when he came in, and when he glanced at me, I instinctively felt a creepy feeling. "
"That's right." The old man nodded and continued,
"When I went out to look for materials before, the pavilion master told me that the monk named Mo is very likely to be an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage."
"As expected!" The man in white sighed softly,
"If this is the case, it would be appropriate to charge the other party a cost price, and we can also make good friends along the way."
"The master of the pavilion also means the same thing. Faced with an existence of this level, even if you can't be on good terms, you must not be on bad terms. In comparison, what does a little material mean?" The old man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said,
"Besides, this Qiyuan Island is no different from other places. Even if you are an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, you can't guarantee that it will be foolproof. If the other party comes from a certain force in the inner sea, that's it. If it is a rogue cultivator, there will be a time when it comes to us. Then it will be the best time to win over the other party.”
"From his words and deeds, he has the aura of a superior person. He is similar to the top leaders of many major sects, but he is not like casual cultivators. You may be thinking too much." The man in white shook his head slightly.
"I'm just guessing. Anyway, I've tried my best to be friends with you. Even if I'm not, it doesn't matter."
"Uh...that's true..."
…
Above the vast sea, a small spaceship was escaping at great speed.
On the deck, two figures stood side by side, none other than Master and Disciple Mo Juren and Han Li. Leaving Black Rock City, the two of them directly chose a direction and left through the sky.
Behind the two men stood a burly figure. It was Han Li's corpse-refining clone. It had been put into the Tianxiang Pendant space before, and was only summoned again after leaving Black Rock City.
"Are you saying that the other two spiritual ginsengs have been found?" During the flight, Mo Juren informed Han Li of some of his previous harvests in Tiannan, which immediately surprised him.
"It can be regarded as a coincidence. Of course, there is only one seedling of Xuanjing White Jade Ginseng, but Jiuyou Xuanshui Ginseng is old enough and can be used directly as medicine." As he spoke, Mo Juren's hand flashed with brilliance, revealing a white jade box, which he handed over directly Tell the other party,
"The ginseng seedlings are inside, and I'm going to trouble you later."
"Master, don't worry, just leave it to my disciple." Han Li naturally had no objection and immediately put it away. At this time, he also felt envious of his master's luck. He could meet treasures wherever he went.
In the storage bag that was given to me before, in addition to the elixirs and the inheritance of ancient alchemy, there were also a large number of seeds, roots, etc. stored in those large wooden boxes, all of which had long been extinct. ancient elixir.
He could imagine how valuable these elixirs would be once they were successfully cultivated, and it would be of great help to him.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something and said again,
"I have been cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo before, but I have delayed the Soul-nurturing Wood. I will give a copy to Master after cultivating it successfully."
"That thing is not in a hurry." Mo Juren shook his head slightly and continued,
"Whether it is Xuanjing White Jade Ginseng or the other elixirs required for the two elixirs, most of them are not old enough and they all need you to cultivate. This will definitely take a lot of time. You can take your time. Of course, Jiuqu The Spirit Shen Pill is simpler, so it’s best to put it in the front. It won’t be long before the teacher will need it.”
"Master is planning to attack the Nascent Soul stage?" Han Li reacted instantly, and even more guessed in his mind. From the master's tone, it seemed that he was planning to break through directly to the sea.
Normally, he would really be worried. After all, the environment in the open sea is too complicated, and if you are slightly unlucky, your life will be in danger.
However, he visited Tianxiang Pendant before, and while reunited with his relatives, he also saw the existence of senior Xiao Qi. Most of his worries dissipated, and he understood why his master had the confidence to come to Qiyuan Island.
The great demon in the transformation stage, as well as the red gold giant ape, the seventh-level demon beast at the time, had to admit that the master was too powerful, far beyond what he could compare with.
Fortunately, I am doing well and have a lot of tricks up my sleeve, otherwise this outing might become a pure burden.
"It's not possible now. We have to make some final preparations, but it won't take too long." Mo Juren gave a positive answer. While speaking, he took out a jade slip, which was the detailed sea map of Qiyuan Island. .
If you want to break through the Nascent Soul stage, you must first hunt down a water-attributed demon in the transformation stage and obtain its soul.
This is the bloodline aspect, and the other part is the inner demon part that must be experienced when making a breakthrough. According to the original idea, it is best to go to Luoyun Sect and find a way to get a Soul-fixing Pill, which is the safest way.
However, things may not go as expected. The Luo Yun Sect belongs to the Tiandao Alliance and has a competitive relationship with Zhengmo Dao. There is not much friendship, and it is impossible for someone to refine it for him for no reason.
After much thought, he simply gave up. The only way to resist inner demons is the Ding Ling Dan. There are also many similar elixirs and treasures, but the effects are different. He has already prepared some for this. He believes that with his own concentration, he can assist these elixirs and treasures to overcome the inner demons. It shouldn't be a problem to pass the final demon level.
Everything is ready, all he needs is Dongfeng. As long as he gets a water-attributed great fairy soul, he can retreat and break through at any time.
Of course, before that, he has to find a safe place to refine and fuse the blood of the other four attributes. By then, he will be able to increase his strength again, which will also help make subsequent actions smoother.
There is also the matter of Xu Qingcheng. After all, he is his subordinate, so he cannot really let him fall.
Fortunately, there is a blood ban connection between the two parties. Especially after the last blood ban upgrade, the connection has become closer and closer. It is certain that he is not dead, but he still has no clue where.
Before departure, he had already learned from Ling Yuling about the mission status of the three Nascent Soul stage monks, and he also wanted to investigate this time out.
After browsing for a while, I was suddenly attracted by a place called "Rocky Island". Firstly, the sea area there is relatively remote. Secondly, the island itself is extremely barren. There is nothing but rocky and barren mountains all over the island. .
Monks would look down on such a place, and this island is not far from Black Rock City and is within the control of the human race. The probability of monsters appearing is very low, so it is suitable for a temporary stay.
Half a day later, a small island with an area of only dozens of miles came into view. As described in the information, this is a deserted island.
In the sky above the island, Mo Juren glanced at the scene of rocks and barren mountains below, and then let go of his consciousness to inspect it carefully.
After a while, after confirming that there was no other abnormality, he immediately drove the flying boat under his feet again, and soon flew down to a small valley somewhere.
"I need to practice for a period of time, at least about a month. During this period, I need you to protect me..."
"Master, you can go ahead and leave the rest to the disciples."
After explaining everything, Mo Juren stopped delaying and immediately thought of heading to the foot of a barren mountain somewhere. This mountain is not high, only about seventy feet, and its surface is full of jagged rocks and no greenery at all.
After observing for a while, he summoned a flying sword and got busy. In just a moment, a simple cave had been dug.
This time it was not a training retreat, it was just for the purpose of refining and merging four kinds of seventh-level demon blood. Therefore, he just set up a formation to conceal his aura outside the cave, and then walked in.
As for Han Li, he took his corpse-refining clone and found a secret place to sit down cross-legged, and then waited patiently.
He was naturally curious as to why the master stayed here and what he planned to do. However, I was just out of curiosity and had no intention of prying.
Now he began to think about his next action. According to the master's wishes, he was going to hunt down the great demon in the transformation stage. This was not a trivial matter, but contained great danger.
According to the data, although there are a large number of high-level monsters in Qiyuan Island, most of the big monsters above the transformation stage live in the depths of that huge ocean abyss.
It's too dangerous there, it's completely the base camp of high-level monsters. With the current strength, it won't help even if Senior Xiao Qi helps out.
At this time, Han Li still didn't know. Although Xiao Qi was a great demon in the transformation stage, he was better at assisting. On the contrary, he was weak in fighting. His real combat power was not even comparable to that of Mo Juren.
Of course, whether you know it or not, you cannot deny the fact that with your current strength alone, entering the depths of the abyss is a narrow escape.
"In addition to the depths of the sea abyss, the outer areas of the sea abyss, and even other sea areas, are there any other high-level monsters?" Han Li thought in his mind, and at the same time, he took out the jade slip recording the information on Qiyuan Island again and looked at it.
The outer sea is boundless, and the sea map only covers part of the area. Only the parts recorded in the jade slips do not reveal any useful information.
Seeing this, he could only sigh helplessly and wait until the master came out before talking. He always had a character of making decisions before taking action, so he might have already had a plan.
Putting away the jade slip, he immediately gathered his thoughts and began to close his eyes to rest.
Although this is a deserted island, it is within the sphere of influence of the human race after all. There may be other monks passing by. If they notice it, it will be troublesome to come down to investigate.
Therefore, he will not practice meditation, but will let go of his consciousness to check the situation of the surrounding sea every once in a while.
Fortunately, a whole month passed without any accidents.
In the early morning of this morning, the formation that had been silent for many days finally started to move. The transparent light curtain shook, and the familiar figure of the master slowly walked out.
I don’t know what the other party has done in this month, but one thing is certain. In such a short period of time, the master’s strength has improved significantly again, and the aura emanating from him is like some kind of wild beast. , which made him tremble with fear.
He suddenly remembered one thing, which was the blood fusion mentioned by Cai Huan before, which was also the reason why the Master and the others were still young and immortal even though they were mortals.
He didn't really know anything about this matter, but he had made some guesses and understandings very early on. But because it involved the master's secrets, he didn't delve too much into it. Now he completely understands it.
Being able to make mortals stay young and live a long life span simply subverted his cognition. He could imagine how big a ripple would be caused in the spiritual world once such news leaked out. (End of chapter)
