Chen Guo, Lishui County.
Lishui County is located in the northwest and has a vast territory. It is the largest county in Chen State. However, there are many Gobi deserts in it, so it has always been sparsely populated.
On that day, a flash of silver light crossed the sky and fell deep in the desert. A clear young man appeared, with loose clothes and long sleeves, his hair tied up and holding a sword.
It was Yuan Qing.
Putting the sword into his sleeve, he looked around. The young man's eyes flashed with silver light. He had released his spiritual thoughts, and then he jumped up. After several ups and downs, he came to a low sand dune and stepped forward in one step.
It's like a fantasy world in the mirror, the scenery has changed drastically, but you can see the pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions, which are in harmony with each other. It looks like a gentle water town, but there is no trace of desolation in the desert.
Walking on Qingyu Road, the young man gradually felt a sense of familiarity.
This place is quite similar to the "Xuanyuanfang City" in the door: there are also vendors and merchants standing along the street, and monks are constantly coming and going, but there are more merchants, and no identification is required for entry and exit; the people who come and go are dressed in strange clothes, with different smells, and it is extremely mixed. .
In addition, you can also see many mortals walking here, either as servants or doing mundane things.
Business, settling down and building a house, thriving, and a thick atmosphere of red dust and smoke.
"Such an immortal seems to be prosperous. It seems that this trip should be rewarding." Yuan Qing thought to himself.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a respectful voice: "Hello, Supreme Immortal! May I ask if this is your first time coming back to Jingshuifang City?"
But there was a young man in commoner's clothes bowing beside him. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old. He was described as thin and without the slightest breath of life in his body. He looked like a mortal.
Yuan Qing glanced at him and replied quietly: "Not bad."
The boy straightened up a little, and continued with a smile: "So that the Immortal can know, my name is Zhang Fan, and he is a local young man. If you have any orders, just tell me! As long as this guy is There are some in the city, everyone knows about them; even if you don’t know, I can guide you to look for them in major shops, and the price is cheap, one or two percent lower than what is advertised."
"There's no need to lead the way. Just tell me about the general situation and taboos of this place." Yuan Qing thought for a moment and replied, then stepped forward.
The boy immediately followed him, with his eyebrows lowered and his head lowered, still respectful, and at the same time he said:
"If we go back to Shangxian, Jingshui City can be regarded as one of the two largest cities in Liang and Chen. It is said to have been established for more than 500 years. It's too long to mention. As long as I can remember since I was little, there have been many gods and goddesses traveling from north to south in this city, and all kinds of mysterious things have emerged in endlessly. It can be said that only you can’t think of it, and you can’t find anything like it!”
"Oh? I heard you say that, there are many other markets?" Yuan Qing's heart moved when he heard this, and he interrupted.
The boy smiled and replied: "To be fair to the Immortal, I only know about another Dafang City called Shuiyuetian, which is in the legendary Jingtian Sect, and I don't know anything about the rest. But I heard from the shopkeeper that Shuiyuetian There are a lot of rules in heaven, but unlike here, apart from not picking quarrels and causing trouble in the street, there are no other taboos."
"What if there are troublemakers?" Yuan Qing asked calmly.
"Anyone who causes trouble will be expelled from the city by the joint law enforcement team of the shops, or punished on the spot." The young man replied in a slightly serious tone. As he spoke, he raised his eyes and secretly glanced at the young man in front of him, with a look on his face. A look of uneasiness:
"But this kind of thing has never happened since my grandfather's generation. I guess all the gods and lords came to Fangshi for rare treasures, so peace is the most precious thing."
Yuan Qing ignored the implication and asked, "Who is your shopkeeper?"
The young man was stunned when he heard this, and then he respectfully replied: "If I go back to Shangxian, the shopkeeper's surname is Chen, and he is the head shopkeeper of Tongbao Tower."
"Tongbao Tower," Yuan Qing recited silently in his heart, and then motioned for him to continue.
Although the boy was worried, he still forced a smile on his face and continued: "Tongbao Building is the number one shop in Fang City! Tongbao Building is located on the east side of Fang City, and... ..”
After a stick of incense.
Yuan Qing stopped, turned around and said to the boy: "Let's stop here. How to settle the matter?"
The young man was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said: "It is a great blessing for me to serve the Immortal. I dare not ask for any reward. If the Immortal is happy, just give me a few taels of silver!"
Yuan Qing nodded, turned his palm and took out a piece of emerald jade the size of a walnut, threw it to him, and said, "I don't have gold or silver, so I used this to make up for it."
The young man took the jade stone and put it into his arms without looking at it carefully. Then he bowed to the end and shouted: "Thank you, God, for the reward!"
After saying that, he wisely stepped back and disappeared into the crowd.
Not long after, at a corner, the boy was still there, looking at the jade in his palm, with a face full of joy, and whispered to himself: "It's actually a low-grade wood spirit stone! What a profit!"
...
Let's talk about the Yuanqing Dynasty. After dismissing the boy, he continued to wander around the city alone. After going around in a circle, he finally stopped in front of a three-story building.
"Tongbao Tower."
The scent of tea mixed with the fragrance of sandalwood still hits your nostrils. The maid is standing beside you and whispering softly to your ears. All of this is exactly the same as the Tongbao Tower in Xuanyuanmen. Even the layout and layout of the building are different. Almost the same.
Yuan Qing couldn't help but recall what Su Tianqi said in the past: "Tongyi Pavilion spans the continent and is a giant force as famous as Xuanyuan..."
After going up to the second floor, the tea smell is slightly reduced, but the sandalwood is stronger. There is also a quiet and dark fragrance hidden in it, which makes people feel peaceful.
After sitting down to serve tea, not long after, I saw a plump woman walking slowly. She was about thirty years old, wearing a robe and a hairpin. I felt her spiritual pressure, and she should have been in the middle stage of foundation building.
"I have met my Taoist friend, I am Wang Zhuoya, and I am in charge of this place. I don't know how to call you?" the woman said with a clear and clear voice, like a child.
Yuan Qing then stood up, slightly cupped his hands and returned the salute: "Yuan Qing."
After sitting down again, the woman continued: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Yuan. I wonder why you are here?"
"Yuan needs a lot for this trip, including magic weapons and secret techniques such as flying escape or breath concealment, elixirs for healing and restoring energy, instant talismans, various high-grade array forbidden materials, and precious treasures." Yuan Qing replied calmly.
The woman smiled slightly after hearing this and said: "It seems that I am very lucky and have met a big customer. I think with my Taoist friend's cultivation, ordinary utensils will definitely not be able to catch my eyes. Jasper, go and get the collection from the building for Brother Yuan to have a look at." "
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a girl in green clothes saying goodbye, but after a moment she led a dozen girls in yellow skirts back with jade plates in their hands. The various colored auras flashing on the jade plate are all extraordinary.
As the woman nodded slightly, the two girls on the right leaned forward, holding a small ink jade boat and a crystal ball.
"This is the Black Spirit Boat and the Cloud Wing Pearl," the girl in green said, her voice clear and clear, like beads falling on a jade plate: "The Black Spirit Boat is made entirely of black crystals. Gold and iron are indestructible, and water and fire are easy to change. There are more embedded in it. There is a set of high-grade defensive forbidden formations called 'Xuanyu'. Although it is a flying boat, in terms of defensive capabilities, it is not much better than a pure defensive weapon."
"When the Cloud Wing Beads gather, they form beads, and when scattered, they form clouds. They can be hidden and invisible. Although they have no ability to guard, their speed is extremely fast, far superior to ordinary ones. It is difficult for any magical weapon of the same level to be better than it."
Yuan Qing was not interested in Fei Zhou, but he was quite interested in the Yun Yi Bead. After hearing the introduction, he took it into his hand and looked at it carefully.
When the woman saw this, she didn't show much emotion. She just winked at the girl in green clothes. The latter immediately understood, pointed out three people, and continued to introduce: "These are the "Wan Hua Jue", "Yan Ling Shu" and "Yan Ling Shu". "Wither Breathing Technique": "Wanhua Jue" can simulate one's own breath and contact with grass, trees and gravel; "Yanling Technique" can collect the spiritual pressure of the whole body, just like a mortal; "Withering Breathing Technique" can suppress one's own blood energy and practice it to the deepest level. It can even be no different from dead wood.”
A flash of light flashed, and the book floated down in front of Xiao Nian, but it was the "Jue of Ten Thousand Transformations".
"Next is the elixir, this is..."
About a quarter of an hour later, the maids retreated, and on the table in front of the young man, there were three more Baili Instant Talisman, two bottles of Muscle Jade Pill, two bottles of Qinglin Powder, and three array weapons, named Panshi, Chunhua, and Ling. hidden.
The guard of the Panshi Division is as solid as a rock, and is not afraid of the same level. Even when facing a Danjie monk, he can stand upright for a moment; Inexhaustible, everlasting.
As for the Lingyin Formation, it is a spirit-sealing array, which also has the effect of shielding spiritual consciousness. Once it is laid out, it will cover a hundred feet in radius and there will be no leakage of spiritual breath, which is quite miraculous.
"Congratulations to fellow Taoist, you have gained a lot, only one treasure is missing," the woman put down her tea cup and said leisurely, "But before that, do you have to show yourself to fellow Taoist? It's not that you can't trust fellow Taoist, it's just... ....”
However, before he finished speaking, he saw the boy opposite him taking out a storage bag and placing it on the table. Then he waved his sleeves and put all the utensils on the table into it.
The woman felt unhappy, but she still looked like she was talking and laughing. She took the storage bag and swept it inward with her spiritual thoughts. However, the next moment, her pupils shrank and she looked at Yuan Qing, her eyes were very different.
"I'm sorry for being disrespectful. I hope Brother Dao will forgive me. As for the animal materials in this bag, there are many types of animals, so we need to ask someone to identify them." The woman bowed slightly and said.
"There's no rush now. Yuan still has some precious materials that he hasn't purchased yet. We can settle them all together at that time. If your building wants to acquire the remaining materials, Yuan can also sell them all." Yuan Qing replied with a smile.
"Just as Brother Dao said," the woman Zhanyan said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of treasures Brother needs?"
"Wanhua mud, Tianxing sand, silver marrow." Yuan Qing was prepared early and blurted out.
The woman frowned when she heard this, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "I am presumptuous, may I ask where Brother Yuan comes from?"
"Xuan Yuan."
The woman's face was clear and somewhat solemn. She stood up and said, "In that case, please follow me to the third floor to talk to me."
Without waiting for Yuan Qing to ask questions, he explained: "All the Taoist brothers need are raw materials for magic weapons, which are extremely precious. According to the rules of this building, I have no right to touch them, but as a disciple of Xuanyuan, I have reached the perfection of foundation building." , you can discuss it with the elders of this building."
After speaking, he turned to a maid in a white dress and ordered: "Bai Xia, take it to Mr. Cao and tell him that all the animal materials in the bag will be purchased at the highest price."
"Yes, ma'am."
...
Tens of thousands of miles away, somewhere in the desert.
On top of the sand dunes, a layer of red light curtain shone with a strange light, making it particularly eye-catching.
Around the light curtain, there are four figures, one red, one yellow, one green, and one purple. There is a purple jade flying boat hanging on it. There is a person in the boat, about forty years old, tall and thin, wearing a green robe and square scarf like a scholar. , but the two eye sockets are dark purple and sunken.
"Shopkeeper Chen, your cousin really has some skills. He has managed to survive in the Red Sun Formation until now." The cyan figure said aloud.
"Hmph, let's see how long he can last, then practice it for me!" the man in the boat said fiercely.
Within the light film, a water-blue figure is struggling to hold on...
