Chapter 153: Gathering with Old Friends (Revised)
"Brother Liu, do you have any feelings that there have been fewer demon beasts recently?" asked Mo Qianli. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Liu Qinghuan nodded: "It has been less since half a month ago." ā
At this time, they shuttled on a field of water reeds, looking for traces of demon beasts.
"Half a month ago?" Mo Qianli scratched his head, he didn't feel anything before, but they hadn't encountered a single demon beast in the past two days, which was strange: "Could it be that they were all killed by our monks?"
"How is it possible!" Liu Qinghuan said: "If the number of demon beasts was only so small, the Qu Xuan Swamp would not have existed for so many more than 10,000 years. They may have retreated into the depths of the swamp or fled elsewhere. ā
The monsters are beginning to react to the monks' extensive cleanup, and it seems that the situation in the Qu Death Swamp will change again.
Liu Qinghuan looked at the gray sky: "I think we should go back to Haoyuan City." ā
The two of them had been hunting demon beasts together for almost two months, and they were both extremely tired, so it was time to go back to Haoyuan City to recuperate.
So he changed direction and ran all the way. If you encounter a monster on the road, you will solve it, and if it is difficult to fight, you will avoid it. It took half a month for the two to finally arrive outside Haoyuan City.
Mo Qianli said in surprise: "This wall is built so high!"
Standing in front of them was the newly built city wall of Haoyuan City ten miles outside the city, which was now more than one zhang high, and the width reached an astonishing twenty or thirty zhang!
However, they could only see a small part of what was exposed, and all the rest of the place was covered by the magic circle.
Liu Qinghuan took a closer look and found that every brick on the exposed city wall had some peculiar patterns.
The two of them passed through the gap reserved in the city wall, walked another ten miles, and entered Haoyuan City.
Liu Qinghuan said: "Let's go back to the station first, and the supplies that should be replenished will be repaired for a few days." ā
"Well, you're done arraigning me, I'll go first. Mo Qianli waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the station of the Star Moon Palace.
Liu Qinghuan saw that he was finished, and he was also ready to return to the station.
At this time, an uncertain voice came from the side: "But, but Liu Daoyou?"
Liu Qinghuan turned his head and saw a monk standing not far from the city gate who only had the second level of qi training, looking at him hesitantly.
Liu Qinghuan recognized it, and saw that he was nearly middle-aged, with a trace of worry and fatigue in his eyes, so he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Wu Daoyou." ā
The middle-aged monk stepped forward in surprise: "It's really you, Liu Daoyou!"
The person who came was Wu Tianyong. When the twelve-year-old Liu Qinghuan first arrived in Haoyuan City, he hired him as a guide for a day, and the two had a conversation.
Liu Qinghuan said: "Wu Daoyou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm?"
"Good, good. Wu Tianyong smiled and his face bloomed: "It's a coincidence, I also told Chun Niu a few days ago that there are so many sect monks in Haoyuan City these days, I don't know if you will come." ā
Liu Qinghuan arched his hand and said: "There are Lao Daoyou who are concerned. I have been using the few magic artifacts I bought from you for many years. Originally, I thought that I would come to you when I had time and buy two more spiritual weapons. I remember that your father-in-law was an intermediate refiner, right?"
Wu Tian swept it over him, and was even more surprised: "Liu Daoyou, have you successfully built the foundation?"
Liu Daoyou smiled and nodded, Wu Tian congratulated him in a continuous voice, and said with emotion: "I saw that Daoyou must be extraordinary in the future......!
He was silent for a moment before he said, "My father-in-law passed away a year ago, and the few spiritual artifacts left behind are now almost sold, and there is only one left. If you want it, come and have a look?"
Liu Qinghuan thought that it didn't matter what happened next, so he said, "Then there will be work." ā
Wu Tianyong led the way, and the two chatted while walking.
Wu Tianyong said with emotion: "When I first saw Liu Daoyou, you were still a young teenager. In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, but I am already old, and Liu Daoyou is still in his prime. ā
Liu Qinghuan was also a little touched, and the two chatted while shuttling through the streets and alleys of Haoyuan City. After a while, I arrived at the small shop that I used to have.
The furnishings in the store have not changed much compared to those days, except for a boy about ten years old standing behind the counter, as if time has frozen here.
Wu Tianyong pointed at the kid and said, "This is my eldest son, called Wu Jiabao." Jiabao, call Uncle Liu. ā
Wu Jiabao looked clever and smart, and hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, and saluted decently: "Boy, meet Uncle Liu!"
Liu Qinghuan helped him up, pulled him and said, "I didn't expect Wu Daoyou's sons to be so old." ā
He saw at a glance that this child had no spiritual root, thought about it, took out a piece of jade pendant and put it in Wu Jiabao's hand: "When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare any meeting gifts. If this piece of spiritual water jade is worn all year round, it can drive away evil spirits and cold, invigorate blood and nourish the body, you can take it and play with it. ā
Wu Tianyong was taken aback and hurriedly excused himself. Seeing that Liu Qinghuan really wanted to give, he asked Wu Jiabao to accept it, and thanked him repeatedly.
"Jiabao, where is your mother?"
"My mother is taking care of my sister in the room. ā
Wu Tianyong asked him to continue to look at the store, and while guiding Liu Qinghuan to the small courtyard behind the store, he shouted: "Chunniu, Chunniu, look who I brought back!"
Liu Qinghuan walked into the narrow backyard, and saw a middle-aged woman with a somewhat haggard look walking out of the middle of the main room.
Wu Tianyong said about the scene of meeting Liu Qinghuan, and said: "You go and clean up a table of good wine and food, and I want to have a drink with Liu Daoyou today." ā
He turned to look at Liu Qinghuan: "Liu Daoyou, I don't know if you can have a drink with me?"
Liu Qinghuan smiled: "It's time to have a drink." ā
Chunniu happily agreed on the side and entered the kitchen next to her.
Wu Tianyong let Liu Qinghuan into the main hall, he turned around and entered the room on the right, and after a while, he took out a box, opened it and put it on the table.
Liu Qinghuan looked at it, and there was a jade pendant inside.
"This is a spiritual pendant, but it is not a spiritual weapon, but a medium-grade magic weapon, the last thing my father-in-law created before he died. It can hide the fluctuations of the monk's own spiritual power, and it can also hide the true cultivation realm. Even in front of someone who is two levels higher than you, the other party can't see it. ā
Liu Qinghuan touched his chin, this is a good function: "How many spirit stones do you need?"
Wu Tianyong said with a sad face: "This Shaling pendant has been placed in our store for many years, and the function is absolutely good." However, because the price was too high, it was never sold. If Liu Daoyou wants it, he will give 20,000 spirit stones. ā
This price is indeed high, and the average magic weapon is only more than 10,000 spirit stones.
Liu Qinghuan only has about seven or eight thousand spirit stones on his body, but he has a lot of pills: "Daoist friends can accept pills, how about I give you eighty percent of the market price?"
Wu Tianyong really had no objection, the elixir, as a substitute for the spirit stone, was more popular than the spirit stone itself. And Liu Qinghuan said that it was eighty percent of the market price, obviously considering that he was also going to sell out, which made him a little embarrassed.
It's just that no matter how embarrassed he is, he didn't say no, because he is really in dire need of spirit stones now.
Liu Qinghuan first took out eight thousand spirit stones, and then took out five bottles of Peiyuan Pill. The market price of Pei Yuan Dan is one hundred and five spirit stones, and the eighty percent discount is one hundred and two, twenty pieces per bottle, which is just enough for 20,000 spirit stones.
The two exchanged spirit stones and shading spirit pendants, and they were both happy.
At this time, Chun Niu also brought out the wine and food one after another, and said with a smile: "Immortal Master Liu, the food is simple, and I hope that the Immortal Master can move a little." ā
Liu Qinghuan sat down with Wu Tianyong and chatted while eating and drinking.
Wu Tianyong is very talkative, he knows Hao Yuancheng very well, and he has well-informed information from various channels. And Liu Qinghuan was trying to understand the movements in Haoyuan City since the cleanup of the Qu Yan Swamp, but he got a lot of news from other places that it was impossible for non-earth snakes to know.
The two were talking about Xingtou when they suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking in the middle room of the main room.
