The secluded capital covers an extremely wide area, and behind the towering city gate are rows of houses and long streets, but the establishment is not like a city of cultivating immortals, but like a mortal capital. In the center of it, there is a palace with strict palace forbidden, and the splendid pavilion palace is magnificent, and the momentum is solemn.

It is said that that is where the Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor lives every day, and it is also the place where the concubine ceremony was held this time.

However, I heard that there is a dungeon under the hidden capital, but only the close subordinates of the Ghost Emperor can enter it, and it is not open to outsiders.

Because there was also a forbidden sky circle in the city, Liu Qinghuan and his party slowly walked in, and successfully entered the city gate, he looked up, and saw that the spacious street was noisy with cars and horses, and the voices of people were boiling, and it was really very lively.

Feng Xian stretched out his hand and beckoned, and a low-ranking monk immediately ran over: "Go, bring your car to a big one." ”

The low-ranking monk nodded in response, turned around and shouted at a few boys in the corner, but after a while, a large car stopped in front of the three of them.

Liu Qinghuan was quite interesting, and looked at the five demon beasts pulling the cart, each of them was above the second order, and their appearance was somewhat similar to that of a horse, but they were even more divine and tall.

The three of them sat down, and the demon beast ran briskly, and the car was very stable.

Hearing that Liu Qinghuan was in Youdu for the first time, Feng Xian enthusiastically pointed to both sides of the street to introduce him, and said: "Then let's go to a rented residence first, monks like me and others generally live in Dongcheng." ”

Wen Zhen reminded: "We came back late, and there must have been a lot of Taoist friends in Youdu recently, and I'm afraid that there are no good places to live." However, I have a small courtyard in the city, and if you don't dislike it, you can stay with me for the time being. ”

Liu Qinghuan thought about it, he was not used to living with people, so he had to politely refuse: "Thank you Wenzhen Daoyou, but it is not good to bother me more, I will just go to rent a residence." I've never been very particular about where I live, just be quiet. ”

"That's fine. Wen Zhen didn't force it, only smiled: "My residence is close to the east of the imperial city, not far from Brother Fengxian, you have found a place to live, we will visit again." ”

"Definitely, definitely. ”

Feng Xian was very happy since he entered the city, and said with a smile: "There are so many Taoist friends, it is a good time to come and go, and there must be a lot of various gatherings at that time, but I wonder if Aoki Taoist friends are interested in participating?"

Liu Qinghuan looked happy and said, "That's really unwanted, I have the intention of making friends." ”

The three of them walked as they talked, and soon arrived at the rented residence that Wind String had mentioned, and the other two took their leave with him, got into the car and left.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared around the bend of the street that Liu Qinghuan withdrew his gaze, smoothed out the slightly wrinkled clothes, and then walked into the door behind him.

As Wen Zhen expected, now that there are only about ten days left before the ceremony, most of the rented courtyards in the eastern city have been occupied by people who have come from all directions, and even the better inns in the city are full, so it can be said that in order to participate in this celebration, the high-ranking monks of the entire netherworld have gathered in the hidden capital.

Fortunately, Liu Qinghuan really didn't pay attention to these, and just found a remote courtyard.

Walking out of the rented residence, Liu Qinghuan was not in a hurry to go back, first walked around the city, and then found a lively teahouse to sit down, listening to the gossip of the people around him, while drinking tea slowly.

The news in the market is the most well-informed, and the Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor Concubine is the biggest thing now, and everyone naturally talks the most.

At the end of the day, Liu Qinghuan almost listened to the complicated relationship between the big forces such as Youdu, Senluo City, and Luo Yu Mountain.

Hongsheng, born in Senluo City, one of the side concubines of the Luo Tu Ghost Emperor of Luo Yu Mountain, cultivated in the late Yuan Infant period, and his sibling sister Su Luo Yuan Infant was in the early stage, and will marry into the secluded capital ten days later.

When he returned to the rented courtyard, he laid out a heavy magic array, took out the Tainan Immortal Sword from the storage space, and immediately said, "Brother Sword, please be smart." ”

Tainan Immortal Sword lay on the table sluggishly, and it took a while to react, and he stood up angrily.

Liu Qinghuan didn't wait for it to be chopped, and said loudly with a dissatisfied face: "That ghost cultivator called the red robe, the cultivation is only one step away from turning into a god, how can you tell me to kill a monk who has just married a baby? I'm afraid that I will be killed by her before I can do it! You don't want to be strong, I can't kill it at all now, and I want to save my life and go back to Yunmengze." ”

It's a pity that the Tainan Immortal Sword obviously didn't want to listen to him, and twisted desperately in his hand, wanting to come out of the scabbard.

Liu Qinghuan held it down desperately, and said: "Stop, stop, I want to discuss it with you, not to say that I won't kill it, but you have to give me time, at least let me raise my cultivation to above the middle stage of the Yuan Infant." ”

Yes, he needs time. If he runs to find Hongyi now, it is tantamount to sending him to death, and it is even more impossible for him to do it at this concubine ceremony.

Not to mention that his cultivation is much higher than him, there are many high-level monks in the ceremony, maybe there are several ghost emperors, as long as he makes a slight move, he may end up with a dead end.

After some persuasion and explanation, Tainan Immortal Sword finally quieted down, and a trace of resentment called frustration seemed to float around his body.

Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to reassure: "Therefore, the matter of avenging you needs to be considered in the long run, I am going to retreat for a period of time in a few days, in addition, I will also find a way to wash away the filth of your body as soon as possible, you need to cooperate well." ”

He groaned and said, "If only I could find a large amount of Forgetful Cold Water, the filth on your body is too heavy, and a little bit should not have any effect, but unfortunately I have never seen that kind of spiritual water anywhere except in the Treasure Washing Pool...... Maybe we can find other spiritual objects that have similar effects......"

In the next few days, Liu Qinghuan went to find Fengxian and Wenzhen and attended a meeting between high-ranking monks with them. And these gatherings, in addition to staggering and socializing, occasionally have a small private trade fair.

Cultivating to the Yuan Infant and above, the materials, pills, and items needed are not natural treasures, rare and rare, and it is basically impossible to buy them in the shops outside. Last time, he was able to buy a floating shuttle in Guzuka Dungeon, also because the other party asked him, otherwise he might not have taken it out at all.

Therefore, after arriving at Yuanying, the monks either searched for it on their own, or exchanged with others. This is because the things that the Yuanying Monk needs can only be found in people with the same cultivation.

Feng Xian pressed his voice and said excitedly: "There are more than a dozen Taoist friends who participated in the exchange meeting this time, which is considered a good scale." If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Zhaoyang took a concubine and brought everyone together in the hidden capital, there would not be so many people. ”

Liu Qinghuan followed him into a small building and said, "Why didn't Daoist Wenzhen come today?"

"Brother Wen Zhen went to paint with a few sour Confucian poems today, and he didn't care about him. Wind String replied casually, and the two walked up the stairs and asked, "Aoki Michigo, have you prepared what you want to exchange, and have you thought about what you want to exchange?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "I just don't know what kind of charter it will be when it comes." ”

"It's easy, it's ...... then"

The two soon went up to the third floor, and saw that several people had already arrived, and they were gathering in twos and threes in the spacious hall to talk and laugh.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at it, naturally most of them didn't know each other, all the people present were cultivators above the Yuan Infant, and even two of them had reached the late Yuan Infant stage.

Feng Xian walked towards one of the late-stage monks with a smile on his face, and raised his voice slightly: "Nangu Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

The man turned around, but it was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, and said with a smile: "Wind String Daoist, I thought I wouldn't see you this time, why did you arrive at this time?"

Feng Xian smiled heartily: "I was drunk and forgot the sword wall, and I forgot the time for a while." I heard that you were going to organize an exchange meeting, how could I miss it, so I naturally rushed back quickly. By the way, let me introduce you, this is Michitomo Aoki......"

Liu Qinghuan bowed his hand gently and politely, and Nan Gu exchanged a few words of greeting him, and then went to greet the others.

After staying for a while, a few more people came one after another, and soon the hall was very lively.

Nan Gu clapped his hands outside the crowd, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said: "The time is up, and the people are almost here, thank you for your face appreciation to participate in this exchange meeting, I believe everyone should not be able to wait, this will start, right?"

Immediately, several people were ready, and they all moved to the long table on the side of the hall and sat down.

Liu Qinghuan followed the wind string and sat in the fourth place on the left, and then Nan Gu who heard the head of the first laugh smiled: "According to the convention, let me talk about the rules first, this exchange will adhere to the principle of fairness and voluntariness, everyone has a chance to speak, and you need to prepare three or less things that can be used by our cultivation, spiritual materials, pills, spiritual treasures, etc., and say what you want to exchange, or how much it is worth the spirit stone." If other Taoist friends have it, they can exchange it, but they cannot be forcibly exchanged, and both parties need to agree. Is that clear?"

A female cultivator on the right fanned the silk handkerchief in her hand and said with a smile: "Brother Nangu, I already know, so you can be less verbose." ”

Nangu laughed twice and said, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense, I'll start with my first one, and then continue from left to right." ”

As he spoke, he put a brocade box, a jade bottle, and a jade slip on the table in front of him: "What I took out this time are a five-hundred-year-old Soul Melting Divine Tree, a Xuanyin Yin Spirit Pill that I refined with my own hands, and an Ancient Dan Recipe that can indeed be used after my research. What you want to change is a spirit grass that is at least two thousand years old, no matter what kind of spirit grass it is, as long as the medicine is two thousand years old. As long as any Taoist friend can take it out, he can choose two of these three things. ”

After speaking, he looked at the others expectantly.

Liu Qinghuan was slightly shocked in his heart when the other party took out the Soul Melting Divine Wood, but he didn't expect that the first item would meet what he needed.

The fungus branch is slender and thick, resembling a curved pine root, the root whiskers are intact and dense, as if they have just been pulled out of the soil, the fungus cap is thick and solid, and the surface has a circle-like texture.

When he heard what the other party was going to change, he was slightly happy in his heart, and glanced at the other people at the table, but saw that most people's eyes were focused on the bottle of Xuanyin Yin Elixir.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone say, "Brother Nangu, what kind of elixir are you going to refine, right? You have to use more than 2,000 years of spiritual grass, you are worthy of being an alchemy master! I just don't know what kind of elixir it is, are you willing to sell it?"

Nangu smiled perfunctorily at the man, then turned to the others, "I wonder if you have anything I need?"

There was silence on the table for a moment, and a male cultivator with a pale face on the right shook his head and said, "The Xuanyin Spirit Pill is extremely useful for ghost cultivators like us, but the spirit grass that is more than a thousand years old is already extremely difficult to find, let alone two thousand years old. ”

"Yes, Nangu Daoyou, I'm afraid that no one here will have two thousand years of spirit grass. However, I am willing to give 50,000 high-grade spirit stones to buy you this Xuanyin Spirit Pill, I don't know if it is possible?"

Nangu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, shook his head and said, "Then forget it." ”

"Dare to ask, what kind of pill is recorded on your Gu Dan prescription?"

The person who asked was naturally Liu Qinghuan, but he was not interested in what the Xuanyin Spirit Pill was.

Nan Gu looked at him with burning eyes and said, "What is recorded in the Gu Dan recipe is a pill refining method called Qingling Jade Qiongdan, which can improve the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, and the medicinal effect is better than our cultivation, another Xuanyuan Pill that can also improve the cultivation. However, each of the elixirs above is also rarer and more difficult to find. ”

He asked tentatively, "It turns out that Daoyou is also an alchemy master?"

Liu Qinghuan smiled lightly: "The master doesn't dare to call it, but he only occasionally refines two furnaces." Qingling Jade Qiongdan...... Daoist friend just said that you have carefully studied this Dan prescription, which is indeed feasible?"

After asking in such detail, everyone had already guessed that Liu Qinghuan must have more than two thousand years of spirit grass in his hands, and they couldn't help but look at him sideways.

When the medicinal age of the spirit grass reaches two thousand years, it is already priceless, and I am afraid that if it is placed outside, it will be a battle for blood......

Nan Gu couldn't hide his joy on his face, and said eagerly: "Yes, I got this Danfang from an ancient secret realm, many of which materials have become extinct, I have carefully studied for so many years and found the corresponding alternative elixir, which I have recorded on the Danfang, so I promise that it will be absolutely usable." ”

Liu Qinghuan thought about it, an almost extinct Soul Melting Divine Tree, plus an ancient Dan recipe that had been studied by an alchemy master, was barely worth a two-thousand-year-old spirit grass.

What's more, these two things were what he urgently needed, and he didn't have anything else in his hands, but the spirit grass with a high medicinal age could have as much as he wanted.

With a flip in his hand, a long box was pushed over by him: "Look at it." ”

Nan Gu hurriedly took it, lifted the lid of the box and opened a crack, only to smell a refreshing medicinal fragrance that immediately flowed out of the crack.

"Hahaha, okay!" Nan Gu snapped the lid shut, laughed excitedly, and said, "Aoki Michigo, you can choose two of the three things I took out." ”

He naturally chose the Soul Melting Divine Wood and Gu Dan Fang, and after finding out that it was indeed true, he nodded.

Nan Gu said with a red face: "Very good, this exchange meeting is also a good start, so please invite the next one." ”

Sitting on his left side was an old man, who put his three things on the table, and after introducing them, he glanced at Liu Qinghuan: "What I want to exchange is a piece of Extreme Yang Yan Blazing Iron that is at least the size of a fist, or a three-striped yellow dragon grass that is more than a thousand years old." ”
