Seeing Lu Li's strange expression, the woman couldn't hide her disappointment, but the open-chested man was not surprised at all. He sat back down beside the flower bed and looked around in disinterest.
Lu Li took a look at it and was about to give it back to the woman, but as his mind moved, he used his celestial eye to take another look.
But at this glance, Lu Li suddenly discovered that the treasure map was not that simple. There was something else hidden under the seemingly random green ink of the mountains.
However, this was obviously not the time to examine it carefully, so he rolled up the scroll quietly.
Seeing this scene, both the woman and the middle-aged man no longer had any illusions, but unexpectedly, Lu Li suddenly said, "This may really be a treasure map, but it's only half of it. We can't be sure of the specific location."
Upon hearing this, several people's eyes suddenly lit up, and the chest-chested man sitting on the flower bed stood up in surprise, saying in disbelief: "No way, it's true?"
Lu Li smiled faintly, "I said it's just possible. This painting is very careful, and the material of this leather scroll is good. It looks like it has been around for a long time. It should be from the skin of at least a third-level monster...
There is no need to use the skins of third-level monster beasts to fake it. Of course, I cannot rule out that some people have guessed what I am thinking now and do it deliberately..."
"So that's it. I thought it was really a treasure map." This rough man seemed to be really straight-tempered. When he heard that Lu Li was just guessing, he lost interest.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "Although I'm not sure, no one can say for sure about chance. If it is really a treasure map, and I am lucky enough to come across the second half of it in the future, I may actually get something unexpected. So, If your asking price is not high, I am willing to buy it, and I allow you to make a copy..."
Lu Li's words were half true and half false, making it difficult for several people to tell the truth. The woman's eyes flashed and she smiled and said: "Hey! Seniors have said so, what else do we have to say..."
"This thing is just something we accidentally picked up. To be honest, we have already copied it. Since senior likes it, we can just give this treasure map to senior. Anyway, there is only half of it, and it is useless for us to hold it in our hands... .”
"Yes, senior, if you like it, just take it. Even we, the four friends of Yunshan, will honor you, senior." Even if this picture is real, there is only half of it. The middle-aged man was so bold when he heard this. Give it to Lu Li.
Although he said this, he still mentioned the names of the four of them in passing. If Lu Li really obtained the treasure through this map in the future, he might remember them as a favor.
The other two people didn't have any objections and asked Lu Li to accept it.
Lu Li naturally easily saw the thoughts of several people, and said with a faint smile, "Okay, since these fellow Taoists are so generous, I won't be polite. If I really rely on this map to get treasures in the future, I will definitely I will never forget you, the four friends of Yunshan."
The four people heard this and said no, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.
If it is a complete treasure map, even if it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false, they will never take it out, but this half-copied map is used to exchange for the friendship of a golden elixir genius. This is not a loss at all for them. ah.
After getting the treasure map, Lu Li exchanged greetings with a few people and left with some excuses.
After wandering around the square for a few more times, he left Taihua Square and went to the Longxuan Chamber of Commerce. He processed all the third-level elixirs harvested from him and obtained a total of 250,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.
Counting what he already has, he now has a full 2.7 million middle-grade spiritual stones. This number, let alone ordinary cultivators, would not necessarily have so many middle-grade spiritual stones in a third-rate sect's warehouse. stone.
Of course, this was mainly due to the extremely fast growth rate of his medicinal garden elixir, and also because Ye You, a rich man, directly gave him 1.5 million.
Return to Qingyun Tower.
He sat at the table, took out half of the ancient animal skin scroll, used his pupil technique to peer into the sky again, and looked at it carefully. As expected, there was a layer of gray patterns hidden under the green ink. .
It's just that the gray is very light and covered with thick ink. If it weren't for Lu Li's pupil technique that can detect almost micro-organisms, it would be difficult for ordinary people to see the clues.
Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but look thoughtful.
After a moment, his eyes flashed, he lifted the teapot on the table, carefully dropped a few drops of tea on the picture, and then rubbed it gently with his index finger, hoping to wipe away the thick ink on it.
But what surprised him was that the thick ink seemed to have taken root. No matter how much he rubbed it, there was no sign of fading.
In desperation, Lu Li could only think of another way.
He first tried roasting it with fire. Of course, he only released a little flame to burn the outermost pattern, but this roasting gave off a strong burnt smell, which seemed to be burning the animal skin, which made Lu Li The decision to grill must not be abandoned.
Seeing that the fire failed, Lu Li used water drops condensed from the true essence to cleanse, but after several attempts, it still had no effect.
This made Lu Li a little suspicious. Wasn't that gray pattern left on purpose?
Finally, Lu Li reluctantly tried to identify the owner with a drop of blood. As expected, there was still no response. Seeing this, Lu Li didn't bother to study anymore and just put away the animal skin.
He planned to ask Wu De when he met him later, whether he had ever encountered such a situation. After all, the old man was well versed in the treasure tombs, and he might have some unique insights.
Afterwards, Lu Li came to the Temple of Time and was about to start repairing the small bronze bell.
This clock is called Jiuzhanqing, which is a bit strange.
The damaged location was at the mouth of the trumpet, with a large piece broken off. It seemed that at least hundreds of runes were missing, which greatly reduced the bell's defense.
Lu Li stared at it and studied it for a while, then put the small bell aside, took out the Qingyan and started to refine the piece of Qingyun Iron Essence.
With Qingyan's strength, refining the third-level iron ore was not difficult. Lu Li extracted all the essence without much effort. The next step was the critical moment.
He needs to shape the refined Qingyun Iron Essence and outline the defensive runes, and then fuse it with Xiao Zhong's body.
Moreover, the fusion of appearance alone is not enough. The head and tail parts of the runes inside must also be connected, otherwise it will affect the movement of spiritual energy, which is equivalent to not making up for it.
This process must be done carefully and carefully. If you are not careful at all, you will fall short of the success.
Naturally, Lu Li did not dare to be careless at all, so he worked hard and controlled the small clock to heat up, while controlling the Qingyun Iron Spirit to shape and outline the runes. It can be said that he multitasked, which really consumed his mind.
In this way, more than ten hours passed quickly in the Time Palace...
