Chapter 97: Tracking
Chifeng Town is a quaint town with pavilions. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In Chifeng Town, there are immortal cultivators and secular mortals. After all, there are thousands of disciples in Lingxiao Palace, and they have multiplied from generation to generation. There are always some mortals who don't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals. Or some palace disciples who have entered the world and experienced it, met a secular woman, and took her to a place not far from the palace gate to settle down.
After a few generations, many people gathered here. It has developed into a small town with a considerable scale. Occasionally, monks passing by near Lingxiao Palace will also choose to settle here. There are some casual cultivators who kill people and seize treasures in other places, offending other sects, and it is inconvenient for them to sell spiritual objects, and if they can't go through formal channels, they will go to other sects and choose to sell spiritual objects privately. Especially this time, the disciples of several major sects have to cross the border from here, which makes Chifeng Town much more prosperous than usual.
Lu Xiaotian landed in a nearby grove on a spirit crane, and when he came out again, he was already a man wearing a black cloak with a long scar on his face.
He shuttled through the streets of the town, walked through a few alleys, and found the address of the auction at the gate of a compound. There are two late-stage guards at the door, and there is also a tent man.
"Stop, no one is allowed to enter. The monk at the door stopped Lu Xiaotiandao.
"I'm here to sign up for the auction. Lu Xiaotian's voice was hoarse.
"Five spirit stones. The tent man smiled.
Lu Xiaotian didn't talk nonsense, and directly handed over the spirit stone. The bookkeeper handed over a green jade plaque and said, "There is still an hour and a half before the auction starts, and Daoists must enter the auction before it starts, and it will be invalid after that." ”
"Got it. Lu Xiaotian paid the spirit stone directly. While there was still time, he wandered around the streets of the town, and the Fang Market of Lingxiao Palace basically appeared some spiritual weapons, pills, and some spiritual grasses cultivated by the disciples of Lingxiao Palace. This time, the disciples of various sects gathered, although the level was not high, but there were also many novelties.
Lu Xiaotian looked at some vendors along the way, but he didn't see a suitable one. couldn't help but be surprised, but when he thought about it, he had a magic weapon in his hand, and a superb defensive spirit weapon, Ice Silk Silkworm Armor. Other things that can be used in the Qi refining period are naturally not worth it.
But just when he felt that there was nothing to go about, he suddenly inadvertently saw an inconspicuous corner of the alley, an old woman coughing, who was cultivating in the late stage of qi refining, and there was a book on the stall, which was the "Mixed Yuan Sutra", and there were three black spirit tablets next to the "Mixed Yuan Sutra".
The few things that the old woman put out turned out to be similar to those that the old man in the black robe had. Lu Xiaotian took a closer look, and couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart, it turned out to be the early stage of the foundation building of the "Mixed Yuan Sutra".
"How do you sell this exercise?" Lu Xiaotian walked up to the old woman's stall and asked.
"If you don't sell it, you can only exchange it for an elixir that will enhance your cultivation in the later stage of qi refining. Twenty Yuan Qi Pills are sufficient. The old woman shook her head.
Lu Xiaotian frowned, although the exercise of "Mixed Yuan Sutra" was rare, he had already looked for it in the library of Lingxiao Palace, but he couldn't find it at all, but as long as he could successfully build a foundation, he would naturally be able to obtain other foundation building exercises in Lingxiao Palace. You can spend a part of the spirit stone, and the price is not too expensive. It's not that he doesn't have the pill in his hand, but this old woman's request is a little strange, it stands to reason that most people won't choose such a partial-way exercise. If you sell the spirit stone, you can also buy the pill. Why bother asking for such a move to exchange for a spiritual elixir? In vain, some people who want to buy the exercises will be turned away.
However, the "Mixed Yuan Sutra" was very important to him, although Lu Xiaotian hesitated slightly, he still took out a bottle of Wuhuadan and said, "Here are eight Wuhuadan." ”
"Uhuadan?" A look of surprise flashed on the old woman's face, most of the Qi refining disciples used the more popular Yuan Qi Pill, and those who could use Wuhuadan all had a very good background, from the Immortal Cultivation Sect Zhuji, and even the children of the Jindan family.
Seeing that the old woman had accepted Wuhuadan, Lu Xiaotian took the exercises and turned around and left.
"This fellow Daoist, do you want to take a look at these scales? The old woman called out to Lu Xiaotian behind her.
"Do these black scales have any effect?" Lu Xiaotian froze, turned around and asked.
"I don't know much about the old body, but this is the strange thing about these scales, the origin of these scales is not simple, I heard that they are all from an ancient monk ruins. It must have its own uniqueness, but ordinary monks can't figure it out. The old woman laughed.
"No, since ordinary monks can't figure it out, there's no need for me to spend my time on such useless scales. ”
He already had a few scales on his hands, and he couldn't figure out what they were. The old man who built the foundation in the library hall also had a few pieces in his hand, and even the foundation building monk couldn't study it thoroughly, so it was useless to hold it now. And the old woman didn't look quite right, he didn't want to cause too much trouble. After speaking, Lu Xiaotian left directly.
"Second sister, is there anything strange about this person?" Lu Xiaotian had just left, and three monks appeared in the alley, one of whom asked with a hooked nose with a gloomy gaze.
This person was extremely careful, when he bought the Mixed Yuan Sutra just now, he obviously glanced at these scales a few times. I don't dare to conclude, but if I can take out Uhuadan in exchange, I must be worth a lot of money, so I will rush to the pill on his body, and I have to get to the bottom of it. If you can get other mixed yuan scriptures from him, you will make a lot of money. The map we have now is part of the second layer of the secret land, and that's where the foundation building monks went, so it's of no use to us at all. Only by obtaining the exercises of the Qi refining period and getting the map, maybe you can enter it and find Zhuji Dan. The old woman snorted, "There was a mistake in killing, and I didn't let it go." The exercises of the "Mixed Yuan Sutra" are so out of the way that ordinary people will not choose them at all. If he hadn't cultivated, how could he choose this book of exercises for no reason?"
"The second sister said well, there was a mistake in killing, and she didn't let it go, it's rare that this person is still alone. When we're out of town, let's find a chance to intercept it. Another stubby, middle-aged man nodded.
"In this case, third brother, you are good at tracking, follow this person, leave a code, I will follow the second sister, and the fourth brother will chase after you. The hook-nosed old man immediately made a decision, and said to the middle-aged man in green shirt who had not spoken next to him.
The middle-aged man in the green shirt nodded, and followed the direction Lu Xiaotian left with light steps. Walking and stopping all the way, after nearly an hour, I saw Lu Xiaotian hand over a jade plaque to the guards and entered the courtyard where the auction was held. The middle-aged man in the black shirt smiled secretly, "I even went to the auction, it seems that I am indeed a fat sheep." ”
