"It turns out to be Aunt Yun, nice to meet you!" Qin Ziling said hello with a smile.
"I've met Mr. Qin!" Yun Xiwu quickly stood up and saluted slightly.
"We are all our own people, no need to be polite, no need to be polite." Seeing that Yun Xiwu stood up slightly to salute, Qin Ziling quickly motioned for her to sit down.
Yun Xiwu sat down and was secretly surprised.
Others don't know what Xiao Qing's current strength is or what her character is, but Yun Xiwu knows it clearly.
Xiao Qing said that a life-threatening friendship is definitely a friendship in which one can sacrifice one's life for the other person, not what most people say.
"Brother, Shi Long and Shi Hu are both Ning Jin martial arts masters, but they are both born with divine power. Even if they meet Yun Jin martial arts masters in their prime, they are not inferior at all. Aunt Yun is a Qi refiner in the early stage of true power.
Aunt Yun and her deceased husband, Uncle Shi, were both from Jinliao County, Qinghe County. The Shi family is a small qi-refining family in Jinliao County. The family has a qi-refining method that has been passed down orally from generation to generation. Aunt Yun has the spiritual root of qi refining. After marrying into the Shi family, she also practiced the qi refining method.
Therefore, Aunt Yun is relatively familiar with the terrain, various forces in Qinghe County, and the situation of the Qi Refining Dao Sect in Qinghe County. It will be much more convenient for us to have her accompany us to lead the way. "After Qin Ziling and Yun Xiwu greeted each other, Xiao Qing spoke again.
When Qin Ziling heard that Yun Xiwu was from Qinghe County, he raised his eyebrows slightly and showed a hint of joy on his face.
He actually had many purposes on his trip to Qinghe County, one of which was to visit the Qi Refining World in Qinghe County.
If you have an experienced driver to lead the way, you will naturally avoid a lot of setbacks and troubles.
"Is it possible that Mr. Qin is also a member of Qi Refining Dao?" Yun Xiwu looked at Qin Ziling in surprise when he heard this.
Logically speaking, the two of them were sitting in the same carriage, and at such a close distance, if Qin Ziling was a member of the Qi Refining Dao, she should be able to feel the fluctuations in his real power.
Unless the other party has not yet cultivated her true power, or her level is much higher than hers.
"I learned a bit by chance, but I'm basically a novice in the world of Qi refining and don't understand many things. I have to trouble Aunt Yun more when I go to Qinghe County this time." Qin Ziling replied modestly.
"Mr. Qin, you're welcome. The young lady has been very kind to our family. You are her sworn brother. I can't afford to trouble you." Yun Xiwu said quickly, feeling much relieved.
The circle of qi refining magicians in Fang Chang City is very small, there are not many people in total, and there are only a dozen or so qi refining masters who have reached the realm of true power.
There are all those qi refiners Yun Xiwu who don't know each other.
If Qin Ziling's realm was much higher than hers, there was no reason why she wouldn't recognize it.
If Qin Ziling was just a novice, then it would be normal if she didn't recognize him.
"Aunt Yun's family had a feud with someone in Qinghe County, and they were being hunted. They happened to be met by the old man. The Shilong brothers were still young at the time, and the old man took pity on them and rescued them. From then on, Aunt Yun's family followed The old man.
Eight years ago, when the old man was ambushed, the Shihu brothers were also there. If it hadn't been for the young lady's desperate fight and reinforcements, Aunt Yun would have been the white-haired man sending the black-haired man away.
In these years when the young lady lost power, Aunt Yun's family felt the kindness of the old man and the young lady. They always followed the young lady in doing things, and they also suffered a lot of suffering and grievances.
Years ago, when the young lady regained her strength and took over the power in the family, she spared no expense in cultivating Aunt Yun and Brother Shilong. A few days ago, Aunt Yun finally condensed her true power, and Brother Shilong broke through and became a powerful martial artist.
That's why Aunt Yun said this, and Mr. Qin really doesn't need to be too polite to Aunt Yun. "Xia Yan took over the words and explained.
"Yes, without the old man and young lady, we, the third wife, would not be where we are today. Unfortunately, my husband was seriously injured when he was being chased. Even though the old man came to rescue him, he still died of his injuries in the end. Otherwise, if he saw How happy it would be to have our two sons not only grow up healthy, but also become martial arts masters!" Yun Xiwu said with slightly red eyes after hearing this.
"Uncle Shi knows something underground, and he must be very happy." Xiao Qing quickly comforted herself when she saw this.
"Thank you, miss, you don't have to worry about me. After so many years, I have long looked away. It was only when Xia Yan mentioned it today that I felt a little emotional." Yun Xiwu said.
"Has Aunt Yun been to Taihuang Mountain?" Qin Ziling asked when he saw that Yun Xiwu's mood had returned to normal.
"Mr. Qin, do you want to ask Biyun Sect?" Yun Xiwu asked without answering.
"I heard that Biyun Sect is one of the two most powerful Qi Refining Sects in Xiyun State. I don't know if it is true or not?" Qin Ziling nodded and said.
"Biyun Sect is indeed one of the two most powerful Qi Refining Sects in Xiyun Prefecture. It has many disciples. The sect leader Qingsong Taoist is said to have great supernatural powers. His cultivation has reached the realm of Fa Yuan, and he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand. , once the flying sword is released, it can take a person's head several miles away." Yun Xiwu said with a hint of awe.
"Fa Yuan Realm?" Qin Ziling was slightly shocked when he heard this, and then asked, "I wonder which Five Elements Technique the Biyun Sect is best at?"
The highest cultivation method of his "Everlasting Blue Wood Technique" only reaches the true essence. The subsequent realm of the magic element is only mentioned briefly, but there is no cultivation method.
In the past, Qin Ziling thought that the realm of Fayuan was very far away from him and didn't care.
But he didn't expect that his practice progressed very quickly. In less than a year, he had reached the middle stage of his true power in the "Everlasting Green Technique" and was very close to the late stage.
So judging from this speed, the True Yuan realm is not far away, and he has to plan the magic formula for the Fa Yuan realm in advance.
Also, Zuo Cong had completed the practice of removing the waste and preserving the essence a few months ago, but because Qin Ziling did not have the golden method, she was unable to practice the stage of obtaining the truth.
Fortunately, after Zuo Cong breathed and refined Qi, his physical condition improved greatly, so Qin Ziling asked Shao E to teach him the Folding Wave Palm.
The Wave Palm is not as strong as the Han Iron Palm, but it is more suitable for Zuo Cong to practice his strength first and build the foundation of martial arts. Unexpectedly, Zuo Cong also had some talent in martial arts, and he actually practiced well. In the future, he might be able to cultivate both martial arts and martial arts. Zuo Le and Qin Ziling didn't rush to find a qigong master for him.
However, Zuo Cong has a unique metal-type single spiritual root, and the key to refining Qi is to practice it from an early age.
Children are simple-minded and have relatively few acquired turbid substances in their bodies. They are the easiest to cultivate, so the search for a Qi Refiner for him must not take too long.
This is nothing like the way to practice martial arts.
In martial arts training, children's muscles and bones have not yet grown, and their Qi and blood are relatively weak. When practicing moves, the flexibility and strength of the muscles and bones are okay, but it is not suitable for high-intensity polishing of the skin of the muscles and bones and a large amount of supplements. Generally, you have to wait until you are older before you can engage in high-intensity martial arts training and polish your skin. Moreover, when you have enough energy and blood, it is easy to condense your strength.
Therefore, there are very few people like Xiao Qing who become Yunjin martial arts masters at the age of sixteen.
Children from ordinary families who want to practice martial arts usually start training when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. At this time, progress is rapid, and you can achieve results after a few years of practice. A slightly wealthy family can still afford it, and a poorer family can also afford to sell everything.
But to start practicing martial arts from a young age, basically only children from wealthy families are eligible.
"The most famous and powerful skills of the Biyun Sect are the 'Evergreen Technique' and 'Yunyu Jue'. It is said that Taoist Master Qingsong practices the 'Everlasting Green Technique'." Yun Xiwu replied, There was a trace of yearning in his eyes.
"The Evergreen Kung Fu!" Qin Ziling's face changed slightly, and he was surprised and happy in his heart.
What was surprising was that the technique practiced by Gongyangmu turned out to be the "Evergreen Technique" of the Biyun Sect. During his trip to Qinghe County, he would definitely not be able to easily perform the "Evergreen Technique" in front of the disciples of the Biyun Sect. "Gong", I am happy that there is news about the practice method of "Evergreen Gong" in the Fayuan realm.
"Actually, I practice water-based techniques. Unfortunately, the Shi family's techniques are very common and incomplete, so I have practiced hard for many years. If the young lady hadn't spent all her money to help me, I probably wouldn't have had the hope of cultivating true power in this life.
Later, I went to Biyun Sect and wanted to join the sect to learn arts. However, since we didn’t have extraordinary spiritual talent, strong background, and financial resources, how could Biyun Sect take a fancy to us.
To put it bluntly, it took a lot of money to accept us into the outer sect and work as coolies in the spiritual fields.
My husband and I worked as coolies for several years and felt that we were not getting ahead, so we finally chose to leave.
So Mr. Qin, don't blame me for talking too much. Qi refining seems to be otherworldly and has vast supernatural powers. It seems to be the way to immortality, which makes people infinitely yearn for it.
But refining qi is difficult, it is difficult to reach the sky. Not only are the techniques difficult to obtain and the spiritual talent requirements are high, but the resources for cultivation are also precious and rare.
If you don't have good spiritual talent, but just want the magical power of Qi refining, I advise you not to take this path. For example, I have been practicing hard all my life, relying on the lady to spare all my money, and I have just reached the early stage of my true power, but this is probably the end of my life.
You just asked me about the Biyun Sect. You probably have the idea of becoming a disciple of the Biyun Sect and learning advanced Taoism. But even if you pay a lot of money to become a disciple of the Biyun Sect, if you don’t have a good spiritual root talent, this He can only hang out at the bottom of Biyun Sect for the rest of his life.
In this case, it is better to focus on martial arts. For example, my Shilong also has spiritual roots, but only three spiritual roots. I know that this road is extremely difficult to walk, and it will not go far, so I simply let him only follow the martial arts.
Now you have also seen that with the cultivation of the young lady, he became a Ningjin martial artist at the age of only twenty-seven. In terms of strength, he is actually not inferior to the Qi Refiner in the early stage of True Strength, but his status is slightly worse than that of the Qi Refiner. .
But he is still young, and he may still have hope of becoming a Huajin martial artist in the future, unlike me, whose life has basically come to an end. Yun Xiwu looked at Qin Ziling and hesitated for a moment, then persuaded him sincerely.
"Thank you Aunt Yun for your advice. I want to visit some Qi Refining Sects in Qinghe County this time. The main purpose is to gain experience and have a deeper understanding of the Qi Refining Sect. I don't have to follow this path or join the Qi Refining Sect. The door's plan." Qin Ziling cupped his hands and said.
Seeing Qin Ziling's humble words, Xiao Qing twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at him with a smile.
She had witnessed Qin Ziling's flying sword with her own eyes, at least at the early stage of true power. This time she planned to inquire about and visit some Qi Refining Taoist sects in Qinghe County. How could it be as simple as gaining insights?
However, she knew that her eldest brother Qin had always kept a low profile and would not expose himself unless needed, so she would not expose him.
Yun Xiwu had another thought when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I can understand Mr. Qin's mood. The immortal arts of walking with a sword, calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and seas, etc., have been the pursuit and dream of countless people since ancient times.
Now that Mr. Qin has come into contact with Qi Refining, he will definitely not give up easily. I am just a reminder to Mr. Qin as someone who has been through this. If something cannot be done, you should stop in time to avoid wasting money and time. "
"Thank you Aunt Yun for reminding me that my focus is mainly on martial arts." Qin Ziling said sincerely.
"That's the best!" Yun Xiwu nodded.
While talking, the clouded leopard horse pulled the cart into a fork.
Qinghe County is located east of Fangshu City.
The captain guarding the East City Gate was Lin Tianrui, the second son of the Lin family, so Xiao Qing and his party had to make a large circle to avoid being noticed.
The cold morning wind gradually died down.
In the sky behind Wuyang Mountain, the morning glow illuminates the mountain peaks red.
Every so often, a round fire-like wheel slowly breaks away from the clouds behind Wuyang Mountain and sheds red light on the earth.
On a mountain road connecting the official road outside Dongcheng, a luxurious carriage pulled by two clouded leopard horses appeared on the high side of the mountain road facing the sun.
From this high point, you can overlook the mountain road extending to the official road.
"Hey!" Shi Long suddenly pulled the reins back and stopped the Clouded Leopard Horse.
"Miss, it seems that Pang Tianpeng and his party are on the other side of the official road." Before the people in the carriage could ask, Shi Long had already opened his mouth to report.
Xia Yan heard this and quickly helped open the car curtain.
Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling looked down through the car window.
On the official road below, there were twelve clouded leopard horses galloping toward the east at lightning speed.
The first three people were all wearing silver clothes and golden cloaks.
Among the three people, one of them was about 27 or 28 years old, with a majestic figure like a mountain, a long beard on his chin, and his long beard was tied into pigtails. He looked both powerful and rugged and wild.
The men on the left and right are similar in age, but their bodies are not as majestic as the man in the middle.
Behind the three people were nine men in dark red attire and black cloaks, with sturdy builds and stern expressions.
"Pang Tianpeng! Where are they going?" Xiao Qing's face changed slightly, with a hint of thinking in her eyes.
"Is that Pang Tianpeng among them?" Qin Ziling pointed at the twelve riders who had gone away, their backs gradually shrinking, and asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Yes, that one is Pang Tianpeng. He is the head of two families, and he is in his prime. It is said that his strength is not inferior to that of Pang Qiwei, who has been working hard for more than ten years in the early stages of bone refining." Xiao Qing replied.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Qin Ziling's eyes narrowed even more when he heard this, and the majestic man with the beautiful beard he saw in Sanyuan Mountain appeared in his mind.
"The men on his left and right should be his fellow juniors in the Jin Lie Sect. Qin Gen and Sui Wufang are both martial arts masters who have cultivated their strength. The nine people behind him are the Blood Wolf Guards of the Pang family.
The Pang family's blood wolf guards are very few in number, only eighteen in total, but each one is a powerful martial artist and is good at combined attacks. The nine people attacked together, and their strength was close to that of a bone-refining martial artist.
With Pang Tianpeng's strength and his two junior brothers, he was already invincible in Fangshan County. They even brought nine blood wolf guards with them on this trip. It seemed that their destination was not Gaitong County. "Xiao Qing continued.
Gaitong County is also located in the east.
"Maybe going hunting in Wuyang Mountain!" Qin Ziling said casually.
"No, Wuyang Mountain is dangerous and unpredictable. Pang Qiwei will not be willing to let Pang Tianpeng take the risk. Besides, if they really want to go hunting in Wuyang Mountain, they will not go into battle so lightly. They must bring some hunting tools, and also Bring experienced martial arts masters with you, not blood wolf guards.
Although the Blood Wolf Guards are great at killing people, they are not necessarily great at hunting exotic beasts! "Xiao Qing shook her head.
"Don't worry, as long as they don't come for us, you don't care where they go." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
He was not interested in where Pang Tianpeng was going.
"It's true." Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled slightly and looked away, and Xia Yan lowered the car curtain.
"Drive!" Seeing Xia Yan put down the curtain, Shi Long shook the reins and shouted loudly. The Clouded Leopard Horse raised its hooves and pulled the carriage down the mountain road.
…
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with sunset.
A luxurious carriage appeared on the official road.
"Miss, Mr. Qin, Jinliao County is ahead of us. Should we go around and continue moving forward, or should we go into the city to have a rest and stay one night?" Shi Hu turned back and said to the car curtain.
Xiao Qing did not answer, but looked at Qin Ziling.
"We are not in a hurry, and Jinliao County is Aunt Yun's hometown, so just stay in the county for one night!" Qin Ziling saw Xiao Qing looking at him, and he would not be humble to her, so he directly took the words and replied.
After saying that, Qin Ziling lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked out the window.
A few miles away, there is a city with a wall more than ten meters high, more than ten miles long in all directions, and a city surrounded by a moat.
The county seat of Jinliao County is naturally not as tall and majestic as Fangshu City, but it is much more spectacular than Gaitong County below Fangshu County.
At this time, although it was almost dusk, there were still many people coming and going at the city gate, which was quite lively.
In the countryside outside the city, you can see smoke rising from many houses, and some children running and playing in the fields outside the houses.
"This Qinghe County looks much more stable than Fangshan County!" Qin Ziling recalled that since entering Qinghe County, there have been fewer refugees and fewer corpses on the roadside. This Jinliao County looks more stable and orderly, and he can't help but feel a little bit sighed.
"Qinghe County is, after all, the largest county outside the state city. It has fertile land and rich resources. It also has Feixing Sect, one of the three major martial arts sects in Xiyun Prefecture, and Biyun Sect, one of the two major Qi Refining Sects. When you are in charge, not to mention thieves and bandits don't dare to be too rampant, even the officials and wealthy families in the county are quite scrupulous about doing things and don't dare to be too showy." Xiao Qing said.
"That's true." Qin Ziling nodded in agreement.
Qinghe County is the foundation of Feixing Sect and Biyun Sect, and they do not allow others to disrupt their foundation.
The five major families of Pang, Yu, Xiao, Lin, and Lu in Fangshan County actually don't want others to disturb Fangshan County, but their strength is not enough to deter everyone. The Pang family is an outsider, and they have fights with the local Xiao family and others. , which is why there are many forces in Fangshan County, especially the forces outside the city, which are complicated and bandits are rampant.
Qinghe County is different here. Feixing Sect and Biyun Sect are both local sects that have been passed down for hundreds of years. They are powerful and have many powerful people under their sects. The sect leaders and sect leaders are even martial arts or Taoist master level figures. All parties If the forces really go too far and provoke them to take action, who can stop them?
In other words, Feixing Sect and Biyun Sect were able to control the scene.
"By the way, Aunt Yun, what kind of mountain is that?" Qin Ziling suddenly pointed to a mountain peak in the south outside the county town, like a sharp sword thrust into the sky, and asked.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow shone slantly on the mountain peaks, as if giving them a layer of golden-red light, making them look sharper and more extraordinary.
"That's Jinjian Mountain, and it's also where the Qi Refining Dao Sect Jinjian Sect is located. Speaking of which, the lives of our people in Jinliao County are more peaceful than in other places. We are rarely attacked by bandits or bullied by local bullies. Thanks to Golden Sword Sect." Yun Xiwu replied, with a look of awe in his eyes.
"Master Geng Jin kills!" Qin Ziling's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and then asked: "Does this Golden Sword Sect mainly practice gold-based exercises?"
"Yes." Yun Xiwu nodded.
"As expected!" Qin Ziling was secretly happy when he heard this, and said again: "Aunt Xi, can you tell me about the Golden Sword Sect?"
"Of course." Yun Xiwu nodded, then sat up straight, with a solemn look on his face.
"When it comes to the Golden Sword Sect, we people in Jinliao County are all in awe. It is said that more than a hundred years ago, the most powerful Qi Refining Taoist sect in Qinghe County was not the Biyun Sect but the Golden Sword Sect.
However, Geng Jin is the master of killing, and the sword is a killing weapon. The disciples of Jin Jian Sect not only hate evil, but also have a relatively competitive and aggressive personality, so they have made many enemies.
Later, one time, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect made a big enemy in another state. The big enemy entangled many people and came to kill him. Although the Golden Sword Sect was not wiped out in that battle, its vitality was severely damaged.
But even so, the Jinjian Sect still tried its best to protect Jinliao County and did not allow thieves, bandits and monsters to commit evil in Jinliao County, otherwise the disciples of the Jinjian Sect would come to kill them.
It is precisely because of this that among the entire Qinghe County, the most stable one is Jinliao County. Unfortunately, this good times may not last long! "Speaking of this, Yun Xiwu sighed deeply.
"Why did Aunt Yun say this?" Qin Ziling asked.
"More than a hundred years ago, the Jinjian Sect was the number one Qi Refining Dao Sect in Qinghe County. Their property was extremely impressive. Since the Jinjian Sect's vitality was severely damaged and gradually declined, many people naturally coveted their property.
Of course, there are also the 'Golden Snake Geng Golden Technique' and the 'Seven Killing Sword Technique' of the Golden Sword Sect, which are also the profound Taoism and sword techniques that many people covet.
But even though many of the surrounding industries of the Golden Sword Sect have been taken over by other forces over the past hundred years or so, the Golden Sword Sect still firmly occupies the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles of the Golden Sword Mountain.
This mountain range not only has spiritual veins and spiritual fields, but also mineral veins that can be used to refine superior weapons and even flying swords. It is said that even the Biyun Sect is jealous of them.
The reason why the Golden Sword Sect has been able to occupy the mountains within tens of miles of the Jinjian Mountain and keep the sect's cultivation techniques and sword techniques until now is not because the Biyun Sect adheres to the gentleman's way and does not come to seize them, but because the Golden Sword Sect's Tai Go up to the Elder Jianbai Tower.
It is said that Jianbailou is in the late stage of Zhenyuan. With his superb swordsmanship, his strength is close to that of the Taoist master in the Fayuan realm. Therefore, even the Biyun Sect is jealous of the Golden Sword Sect's property, skills, and sword techniques and does not dare to take it by force.
However, Jian Bailou is nearly a hundred years old. Originally, it would not be a problem for the Qi Refining Master to live for more than a hundred years, but twenty years ago, it was said that he was plotted by a master of magic and was seriously injured. When I returned to Jinliao County a few years ago, I heard people say that he was going to die soon, but I haven't really heard the news of his passing until now.
But even so, it probably won't be delayed for a few more years. Once Senior Jian passed away, there was no strong person in the Golden Sword Sect. Nowadays, the world is getting chaotic, and the Qi Refining Taoist sect is relatively detached. As long as they don't join in the world and cause trouble, the government generally doesn't dare to interfere too much. In this Jinjian Mountain, there are still Taoism and sword techniques. I can't even keep it. Yun Xiwu said this with a look of emotion on his face.
"Every man is innocent of the crime of harboring a jade!" After hearing this, Qin Ziling couldn't help but think of the allusions from another world, sighed secretly, and asked: "The Golden Sword Sect once had a Qi Refining Master in the Fayuan realm, right?"
"There must be, otherwise the Golden Sword Sect would not have been able to suppress the Biyun Sect more than a hundred years ago." Yun Xiwu replied.
When Qin Ziling heard this, a flash of joy flashed deep in his eyes.
As long as the inheritance is strong, it doesn't matter if the sect declines a little. On the contrary, it will make Zuo Cong more valued, which is not a bad thing for him.
Of course, it is also a good thing for Qin Ziling. Among the five elements skills, he still lacks the three skills of gold, earth and fire.
If the Golden Sword Sect falls, he may still have a chance. If the Golden Sword Sect is at its peak, his chances will definitely be much smaller.
"Besides Jian Bailou, who else is strong in this Golden Sword Sect?" Qin Ziling asked.
"It is said that the leader of the Golden Sword Sect, Feng Ziluo, is a Qi Refining Master at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm, and the number one master under the Jianbai Tower in the sect. Apart from him, it seems that the Golden Sword Sect has no Qi Refining Master at the True Yuan Realm. Yes." Yun Xiwu replied.
"That is indeed much worse than Biyun Sect." Qin Ziling said after hearing this.
While talking, the carriage and horses arrived at the city gate.
The strong are respected no matter where they are. In addition, the Xiao family's signature, the iron-tower-like Shilong brothers revealed their identities and paid some entry fees. The soldiers guarding the city gate did not check what was sitting in the carriage. The person just handed him over and let him go.
In winter, the sun sets quickly.
Just outside the city, the sun was shining over the western mountains, and the sky was filled with sunset. By the time the carriage entered the city, it was already dusk and the sky was filled with mist.
With Yun Xiwu, a local, leading the way, the group quickly found one of the best local restaurants and inns, and directly booked a guest room with an independent courtyard.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone left the county and headed straight for Jinjian Mountain.
During dinner yesterday, Yun Xiwu mentioned that there is a small town of Zhanjian at the foot of Jinjian Mountain.
This small town is located at the foot of Jinjian Mountain, and many people come here every year.
Some of these people have no background in Qi refining, and some are casual cultivators like Yun Xiwu who have learned some teaching methods and want to further their practice.
However, Qi Refining is a "sport" that only a small group of "elites" are qualified to play. Unlike martial arts, which is a "mass sport", what's more, the Golden Sword Sect has once been glorious, and there are still late-stage Zhenyuan students in the sect. The Supreme Elder is in charge, so it’s not like anyone can get started just by wanting to get started!
Therefore, many people come here every year because of its reputation, but only a few of them really have the opportunity to join the Golden Sword Sect, and they are not exceptionally talented people. Even those who come from a noble family can only start as an outer disciple.
Most people don't have the opportunity to enter the Golden Sword Sect and learn swordsmanship.
Some of these people who had no chance could not bear the blow, so they went back home disheartened, while some did not give up and stayed, hoping to seek immortality.
Those who remained unwilling to give up were basically those half-assed qi refining sorcerers who had come into contact with qi refining because of family traditions or chance, and had already begun to practice.
Over time, many such people gathered in this sword-fighting town.
These people knew a little bit about the art of qi refining, and they communicated with each other and sometimes exchanged cultivation materials. Over time, Zhanjian Town became a more famous qi refining workshop city in Qinghe County.
Later, the disciples of the Golden Sword Sect would sometimes go down the mountain to visit the market, search for treasures, and sell their useless things in Zhanjian Town in exchange for what they need.
Later, some Golden Sword Sect disciples opened shops in Qi Lianfang City, Zhanjian Town.
As a result, the reputation of Qi Refining Workshop City in Zhanjian Town has become more and more famous, and some Qi Refining Warlocks from other places in Qinghe County have also come here because of its reputation. Some Qi Refining Sects and families, seeing the profit, have also sent people to open Qi Refining Workshops here. shop.
Qin Ziling came out this time to learn about the world of Qi Refining and to buy some cultivation materials. The Golden Sword Sect was the sect he was looking for, so after hearing what Yun Xiwu said, he naturally wanted to go and have a look.
Jinjian Mountain is not far from the city.
Soon the group arrived at the small town of Zhanjian at the foot of Jinjian Mountain.
To Qin Ziling's expectation, on the surface, the Qi Lianfang City was not much different from the ordinary market.
Not only were the shops filled with a dazzling array of products, but each merchant did not have the aloofness and refinement that a Qi Alchemist should have. Many people stood at the door to solicit business, and Qin Ziling could even hear shouts from time to time.
"Guest, please come in and take a look. Our store sells blank talisman papers, talisman inks, and talisman pens made by famous artists. The quality is guaranteed. It will definitely greatly increase the success rate of your talisman making!"
"Take a look, take a look. Our store sells various talismans, all made by disciples of the Golden Sword Sect. They are extremely powerful..."
"This store sells all kinds of swords, flying swords..."
"The black gold spiritual rice just harvested this autumn is plump and full of spiritual energy..."
"..."
Walking on the street, watching the merchants trying hard to attract business, Qin Ziling would have almost thought that he was in the wrong place if he hadn't seen that the items in the shops were not vulgar.
"Miss, Mr. Qin, don't be surprised. Some of these merchants are just half-assed Qi refining magicians. Apart from knowing some techniques of breathing in and out to nourish Qi and nourish the body, they are actually no better than ordinary people.
But they have already come into contact with Qi Refining Dao, and they are unwilling to be ordinary, so they are thinking hard about earning more training resources to improve their cultivation.
There are also some ordinary people hired by various Qi Refining Sects or Qi Refining families to visit stores and solicit business. Their behavior is not much different from street vendors.
However, most of the things sold here are related to Qi refining, and are relatively difficult to buy in markets outside. "Yun Xiwu saw the surprised looks on Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing's faces and explained in a low voice beside him.
"Haha, after listening to Aunt Yun's explanation, there is nothing surprising." Qin Ziling smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then started shopping with interest.
"This blank talisman paper is made of special wood, the talisman pen is made of the hair of alien beasts, and the talisman ink is the most exquisite, it is refined from the blood of alien beasts.
Qi refining sorcerers in the realm of truth-taking can already distinguish and take in the five-element spiritual energy that suits their own spiritual root attributes. However, the purity and degree of condensation cannot meet the requirements of true energy, and they cannot directly release true energy to hurt the enemy or manipulate magic weapons.
However, it is possible to use the talisman pen and talisman ink to write talismans with certain attack, defense or auxiliary properties. Of course, it is not very powerful, but it looks more mysterious and magical. "Yun Xiwu explained to Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing in a store that sold various calligraphy materials and talismans.
"Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. If I hadn't come here, I really wouldn't have known that these talisman materials were so sophisticated. I also didn't know that the truth-taking realm could already write runes, perform attack and defense, etc. Magic." Qin Ziling said with emotion when he heard this.
"If Mr. Qin is interested, I can write some talismans for you when you go back." Yun Xiwu smiled upon seeing this.
"It turns out that Taoist friend has actually reached the state of truth-seeking. I really admire him. I admire him." The merchant heard from the side and quickly bowed to Yunxi Wuzuo with a look of envy.
Although the strength in the realm of truth-taking is not very good, at most it is equivalent to a warrior at the skin level, it does mean that one has spiritual talent and real cultivation techniques, not just the basic techniques of breathing in and nourishing qi.
This kind of people are many times rarer than warriors at the skin level.
In this small sword-wielding town where most of the half-baked Qi refining magicians are half-hearted, he can barely be considered an expert.
"How sharp are you? My mother is a Qi refiner in the realm of true power!" Shi Hu was a fool, and he said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
The merchant was shocked when he heard this. He quickly bowed to Yun Xiwu and said, "It turns out he is an immortal master. How disrespectful and disrespectful!"
Yun Xiwu has only recently broken through to the realm of Qi Refining Master, and it is not appropriate to publicize it in the Xiao family. She is quite regretful that she is walking at night in brocade clothes. Now that she is being praised by this merchant, who also calls her an immortal master, she feels a little proud and shows off to the merchant. Waving his hands, he looked like a master.
"I don't know which Taoist method Immortal Master is good at? Our store has a collection of water-type magic tools. Do you want to take a look at it?" After the merchant praised Yun Xiwu, he quickly changed the topic.
Yun Xiwu's eyes brightened slightly when he heard this, but soon dimmed. Just when he was about to wave his hands and say no, Qin Ziling's heart moved slightly and he said, "Then let's take a look."
The two magic weapons he got from Gongyang Mu and Bai Xiuqi were both wood magic weapons, and there was still a water magic weapon missing.
Although the merchant concluded from the words and deeds of the group that Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing were not members of the Taoist sect or were just newcomers to the Qi refining world, seeing that Yun Xiwu and the group were obviously led by Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, he did not hesitate to hear this. Dare to be negligent, he responded quickly, then turned around and went to the back room.
Soon, the merchant returned with a brocade box in his hand.
"Everyone, please take a look!"
The brocade box was opened, and a bright cold light suddenly shot out.
Inside the brocade box is a jade sword half the size of a palm, completely transparent and exuding an icy coldness.
There are looming runes on the jade sword.
"This magic weapon is called Xuan Bing Dao. The weapon refiner of Biyun Sect took the elites of Guishui that were bred in thousands of years of ice. After three hundred and sixty-five days, it was refined into ninety-nine and eighty-one magic talismans. Made from.
Once it is used, it will fly into the air, the cold air is overwhelming, and it is extremely sharp. Removing a person's head is like picking out an object from a bag. "After the merchant opened the brocade box, he opened his mouth and boasted.
Yun Xiwu looked at the Xuanbing knife in the brocade box, and his breathing became a little disordered and heavy.
Qin Ziling glanced at the Xuanbing knife and took it back. On the surface, the Xuanbing knife looked much better than the peach wood sword and green dove beads, but with Qin Ziling's current eyesight, it was easy to see that the runes engraved on it were quite expensive. It's rough, and the magic power is constantly leaking out. I'm afraid it won't be used for many times before it will be scrapped.
Unlike the mahogany swords and green dove beads he collected, they looked simple and unpretentious when not released for sacrifice, and their magic power was restrained but not released outwards. It was much more advanced than this mysterious ice knife.
"How much does this Xuanbing knife cost?" Qin Ziling asked when he saw that Yun Xiwu seemed to like the Xuanbing knife and wanted to know the market price of the magic weapon.
"One thousand taels of gold can of course be bartered," the merchant replied.
Today's world is not good, and the exchange ratio of gold to silver is still rising, reaching about one to twenty-five.
One thousand taels of gold is equivalent to twenty-five thousand taels of silver.
Even though Qin Ziling now frequently gave away wild beasts to his subordinates, he was still shocked when he heard that this small black ice knife was worth a thousand taels of gold.
"No wonder the old Taoist Wu He doesn't have a magic weapon on him. Originally, refining qi requires more resources and money than practicing martial arts. It is estimated that the money he usually earns is not enough to spend, so how can he have enough money to buy such an expensive magic weapon."
Only then did Qin Ziling suddenly understand why he couldn't find the magic weapon after searching Wuhe Old Dao's body.
Daqing, it's not that he doesn't want to have it, but that he doesn't have the money to buy it.
"Miss, Mr. Qin, let's go and look at other places." When Yun Xiwu heard the merchant's quotation, his eyes became darker and darker, and he forced a smile on his face and said to Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling.
"Aunt Yun, you are now a Qi Refiner, and you should also have a magic weapon of your own, so that you can truly display your abilities." Xiao Qing waved her hand and said.
"What this lady said is absolutely true. Once a Qi Refiner possesses a magical weapon, his strength will immediately double!" the merchant said quickly after hearing this.
"Thank you, Miss, but the price is too expensive." Yun Xiwu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, showing a touch of excitement, but he quickly regained his composure and waved his hands.
She is an honest and simple woman.
Xiao Qing has spent a lot of money and resources to help her and her two sons break through!
How could she let her spend so much money again!
"Haha, Aunt Yun, your increase in strength is actually my increase in strength. Just make money after spending money, the key is strength!" When Xiao Qing said this, he paused slightly and changed his tone: "But the price is indeed relatively expensive. "
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive. This Xuanbing knife was made by the famous master of Biyun Sect. It was also placed in our store by the immortal master and entrusted to our store for sale. It is suitable for use by water-type Qi refiners and has the properties of ice. It is much more powerful than a simple water magic weapon.
And it’s not that I, Mr. Yang, am boasting. This Xuan Bing Sword is just one thing in Zhanjian Town. If you miss it, it will be gone. "The merchant said with a hint of pride on his face.
"Aunt Yun, what do you think?" Xiao Qing didn't know much about magic weapons. Hearing this, he looked at Yun Xiwu.
Yun Xiwu knew Xiao Qing's character well, and when he saw this, he already understood that she had made up his mind to buy a magic weapon for her. It was just a matter of quality and price.
Yun Xiwu felt that her throat was a little dry. This Xuanbing knife was naturally a very high-quality magical weapon for her!
"Why don't you try another one?" Qin Ziling knew as soon as he saw Yun Xiwu's expression that she could no longer resist the temptation of the Xuanbing knife, and suggested before Yun Xiwu could speak.
Yun Xiwu's expression froze, he glanced at Qin Ziling with complicated eyes, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"Mr. Qin, you don't understand the magic instrument, but you still listen to Miss and Mother ..."
Shi Hu is a man, and he naturally looks at himself.
Dear, and he can't see what Qin Ziling is so powerful until now, and he is somewhat dissatisfied why his lady listened to him everywhere, so seeing his good thing to destroy his mother and couldn't help but say.
