Chapter 67: Unprovoked Trouble
Chapter 67: Unprovoked Trouble
Falling on the lava, the soles of his shoes were immediately incinerated, and after a while, Gu Yuntian was gone. At this time, the power of the immortal body of the gods and demons that he had cultivated for many years was highlighted, and in this hot magma that seemed to melt all things in the world, although he didn't say that he didn't feel it, he at least moved freely. He released his senses, carefully probed in the lava, and after a while, he felt a piece of lava with a trace of cold air, and immediately came to him, and the aura gushed out, parting the lava, and there was a small dark green flame in it, flickering and shining, in this place where the red light was dazzling, it looked extremely beautiful.
Gu Yuntian knew that this was the Yin Fire of Nayu, and stretched his finger into the flames, and the aura worked, and began to absorb it. As soon as his fingers touched the flames, it seemed to be cool, but then a sharp stinging pain penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and he was about to scream in pain. The flame seemed to be lukewarm and devoid of heat, but the energy contained in it far exceeded the temperature of the lava surface, and it seemed to be unbearable with the strength of his flesh.
But how resolute his mind is, pain is only regarded as a kind of cultivation, and he keeps his mind tightly at the moment, runs the exercises, and directs the Yu Yin fire to his heart. The roasted meridians along the way were scorched, and the pain from the inside out was really tantamount to hellish torture, and he could only repair it while exercising. The flames reached his heart, burning it so much that it contracted instantly, and at that moment he even felt like he was about to fall. After getting through the initial pain, the heart encapsulates this flame essence. By the time he had absorbed the flame, he was on the verge of delirium. But time was pressing, and he breathed for a moment, and went back to look for the next flame.
Gu Yuntian was cultivating underneath, and I don't know how long it took, Luo Wentian had been locking him with his divine sense, and when he learned that he was still alive, his heart was a little relieved. But half a month passed quickly, and he hadn't come up yet, so the phoenix fairy was in a hurry first. She originally wanted Luo Wentian to go down and bring Gu Yuntian up, but Luo Wentian resolutely refused to allow it, and left a sentence in desperation: "At most, there will be half a month at most, someone in the clan will definitely come here, I have to go back now, you can do the rest by yourself, and then you will bear the consequences." He walked away in a rage.
Gu Yuntian absorbed more than ten clouds of Yu Yin Fire underneath, and finally refined his heart to be crystal clear, like a piece of glass, and a small dark green flame flickered. If this heart is taken outside, it will definitely make people marvel at the miracle of the Creator to give birth to such a beautiful treasure. He probed again, and felt that there were still five or six lava places in the Yu Yin Fire, remembering Luo Wentian's instructions, he must not collect them all, so he reluctantly left and swam quickly to the top of the pool.
Luo Wentian had already found out that he had come up, and hurriedly communicated with his divine thoughts: "It's done?" "It should be done." "Let's go, it's been a month, and it's too late if you don't leave. The two of them surfaced out of the cold pool and hurried down the mountain, and on the way they saw the mountain guard spirit bird again, and when they saw the two, they disdained it, but they did not embarrass them.
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, fortunately, there was no one around, and the phoenix fairy's clan had not yet arrived, so the two hurriedly flew away. What they didn't know was that only half a day later, a woman came in a hurry and said, "It's done." Sister Allure was so enthusiastic for some reason, and she insisted that I stay with her for two more days to delay my practice. She quickly went up the mountain, and without caring about making love with the mountain guarding spirit bird, she hurried into the cold pool. Five days later, the woman came up again, her face full of doubts and resentment: "How can this Yu Yin Fire be conceived so slowly this time, and it is only five or six regiments that have matured, I thought it would be done this time, but it seems that I will suffer a crime again, and I am angry to death!"
After Luo Gu and the others left this peak, they went all the way to the west, followed the path they came, and returned to Xuanwu Prefecture through Baihu Prefecture. As soon as he entered Xuanwu Prefecture, Luo Wentian took out a book and said: "This 'Flame Heart Sutra' is a heaven-level exercise, you are now a fire spirit root, and your attributes are born together, from today onwards, cultivation can be regarded as a smooth path." However, I think that your qualifications are not good, and you started late, so you should not rush to break through, it is better to build a solid foundation and compress the signs of breakthrough to the limit, and you really can't suppress it and break through again. There are many meridians that can be cultivated in your body now, and the top priority is to open up as many meridians as possible, and do your best to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the thicker your savings, the easier it will be to break through. Moreover, if the aura reserve is sufficient, it is enough to reach the level of combat power, which is also a great guarantee for your own safety. Gu Yuntian nodded in agreement, and the two immediately rented a beast cart and hurried, Gu Yuntian cultivated with all his might, and Luo Wentian was by his side to protect the Dharma.
When Gu Yuntian started his cultivation journey across the Chengtian Continent, Su Aotian was on his way to Xuanwu City in Qinglong Prefecture. Along the way, he didn't sleep for a moment, and when he was sleepy, he meditated and meditated to cultivate the divine soul, and when he walked, one soul was in charge, and the other two souls practiced exercises, talismans, and so on. Now his cultivation speed had surpassed that of his fellow cultivators in Qinglong Prefecture, but thinking of the fact that Fang Shenghan was one hundred and thirty-seven years old, while standing still in the mountains, he also deeply realized that his start was too late, and these small achievements in front of him were not worth mentioning at all. The handsome man hoped that he would come to Chengtian Prefecture as soon as possible, and Su Aotian felt from the bottom of his heart that he was sincere, and hoped that he could do something great with him. This expectation made his heart very warm, and at the same time, he felt a heavy responsibility, which prompted him not to waste a single bit of time.
That's 30 years. The fierce beasts on the road could no longer arouse his interest, the ninth-level fierce beasts were as scarce as the Yuanying monks, and he couldn't see one or two when he was idle, and the seventh- and eighth-level fierce beasts were simply bullying them, which was really boring. Along the way, he exuded coercion, and the fierce beasts avoided it, and did not dare to come to find death, so when he found the monks, he laid a ban on cultivation, and waited for them to go far before hurrying. The handsome man had already clearly told his Divine Soul Realm, and he knew that his Divine Soul was not only higher than the Yuanying Monks, but also threw them far away from nowhere. In this way, he slept in the open air, walked like an ascetic for thirty years, and finally arrived at Xuanwu City, and his water soul also broke through to the middle stage of foundation building, and the golden soul also laid a solid foundation, and he felt that he was not far from a breakthrough. The price paid was that all his top-grade spirit stones were squandered, and there were only hundreds of high-grade spirit stones left in the storage bag, which was really not enough to stuff his teeth in a place like Xuanwu City. Once again, he fell into the familiar dilemma, that is, every time he came to a city, he was a standard pauper, and he needed to work hard for resources. He secretly thought in his heart that he might not have a relationship with the God of Wealth in this life, and he had already made a fortune several times, but all kinds of changes made him spend it all again, and he could not leave any savings.
Su Aotian first cleaned up his appearance, got rid of the excess hair, found a mountain stream to take a bath, changed his clothes, and then entered Xuanwu City with a radiant face. After entering the city, he saw the bustling crowd and the bustling streets, which made him feel reincarnated after a long absence. Walking down the street to the auction hall, it was not the day of the auction, there was no door open. He entered the guild hall next to it.
As soon as he entered the hall, the hall that had been lively and noisy suddenly became quiet, and many monks who were talking enthusiastically were silent, and some monks who had not noticed him entering were also silent at the signal of others. The guild's reception staff also hurriedly stepped forward to greet respectfully. Su Aotian looked around and found that most of the monks here were in the Qi refining period, basically in the eighth or ninth stage, there were only three or five foundation building monks, and there was only one monk in the middle stage of foundation building, and that was himself. Almost all of them had a look of confusion on their faces, not knowing what this senior master was doing here.
Su Aotian signaled that he was just going to take a look, declined the monk's reception, and looked up at the tasks on the crystal plate, the heaven-level tasks were just to buy the beast cores, bones, etc., or some rare medicinal materials of the sixth-level fierce beasts, regardless of the reward, these tasks were not attractive to him. Seeing the surprised expressions of the monks around him, he suddenly realized that he had become a master in the casual cultivation, and with the capital to settle down, he didn't need to go to a place like the guild to take tasks to earn resources.
Out of the guild hall, Su Aotian knew that he needed to seriously consider how to make money in the future. Guild tasks, hiring, etc., these methods take time to delay cultivation, and the remuneration is low, which is far from meeting his needs, Xuanwu City must also have a colosseum, this is a way out, but now that it has been cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building, the eighth-level fierce beast is not enough, and the ninth-level fierce beast is estimated to be no, and it is estimated that there will be no compensation after a few fights, and it is not a long-term solution. At present, the way to earn a stable and large amount of spirit stones is to make talismans.
He examined his savings, except for a few talismans and some refining materials, there were only two magic weapons and five blades left, three were swords, a long knife, and a long stick. Some of these blades were used by the Yunding Master during the Yudan period, and some were captured when he killed the enemy, after he cultivated to the Yuan Infant, he crisscrossed the Qinglong Continent, almost invincible, and the blades were no longer needed, but these blades witnessed the journey of his life, which was quite memorable, and he always carried it with him.
Now for Su Aotian, the talisman is indispensable, and the refining materials will also be used in the future, but these blades, although the quality is extraordinary, but they are really useless, Su Aotian decided to sell a sword first, as the current use and the economic source of refining the talisman.
After making up his mind, Su Aotian paced into a shop. This store is gorgeously decorated, and the guests in front of the door and the people entertained inside are all young female cultivators, and their cultivation is all high-level Qi refining, all of them are like flowers and jade, and they are full of smiles, which makes people involuntarily want to enter the door.
Su Aotian explained his intentions, and a woman let him go to the inner room, and after serving the spiritual tea, a middle-aged man came in after a while, and he was cultivating in the early stage of foundation building. After seeing Su Aotian, he exchanged two words of greeting, and Su Aotian took out a sword. Seeing this, the man's eyes lit up, and after taking the sword and playing with it carefully, he was full of praise, and immediately decided to accept it at the price of two hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
Su Aotian walked out of the shop, came to the street, and looked up to see a restaurant not far away, the building is four floors high, the eaves are painted, the decoration is very exquisite, the flag is displayed in front of the door, the customers are full, and the business is very prosperous. He hadn't eaten for thirty years, and these were already dispensable things for monks, but the allure of delicious food was still great, and many monks came to eat and drink purely to satisfy their appetites. Seeing this restaurant, Su Aotian was also aroused by the long-lost gluttony, and walked in uncontrollably.
After entering the door, Xiao Er was warmly welcomed, but his expression was a little peculiar, and he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with Su Aotian coming in. The downstairs seat was full, and after obtaining Su Aotian's consent, Xiao Er took him to the second floor. There are few diners here, Su Aotian picked a location facing the street, ordered three courses of animal meat, a plate of spiritual vegetables, asked for a pot of wine, and felt very comfortable while tasting and watching the street scene. No wonder everyone loves to enjoy it, this kind of life is indeed much stronger than penance, and those who are not determined can easily get lost in it, so there are so many monks who are willing to sing and dance, get drunk and dream of death, and never get tired of it.
Of course, Su Aotian is not one of these pompous people, but it is not impossible to indulge occasionally after a long period of penance, his nerves have been too tight, and he also needs to be properly adjusted. Besides, it is human nature to love good food, and monks are not exempt from it, forcing themselves to go with the flow. Su Aotian poured himself a drink and was very happy to eat.
At this moment, there was a "pop" sound at the staircase, and someone came down from the stairs. Before anyone arrived, the sound of light laughter came first. After a while, six people came down, four men and two women, all of whom looked young, all handsome and beautiful, with extraordinary appearances, and they were all at the level of the early stage of foundation building. Su Aotian only glanced at it, then ate and drank by himself, and didn't pay attention to it again, the six of them wanted to go downstairs, and suddenly one of the men saw Su Aotian, first stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of disdain and indignation on his face, and said: "When will this Piaoxiang Building also have poor cultivators come in?"
Su Aotian heard that his words seemed to be aimed at himself, so he paid attention to the diners around him, and sure enough, except for him who was dressed ordinarily, the rest of the people were all dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, wearing gold and jade, not to mention gorgeous, but also with good texture, and his own green robe was really eye-catching here. Only then did I suddenly realize the strange look of Xiao Er when he saw him come in, it turned out that the things here were not something that ordinary people could afford.
However, even in a big city like Xuanwu City, renting a quiet room with a strong spiritual aura to cultivate, a medium-grade spirit stone can be rented for half a year, how many spirit stones can be spent on such a meal, although Su Aotian didn't ask, but there are two hundred medium-grade spirit stones in his pocket, no matter what, it is enough, it is because Su Aotian listened to the words of the young man, although he felt uncomfortable, but how could he entangle with this kind of person more, directly turn a deaf ear, and continue to eat and drink.
Seeing this, the man's anger surged upward, so he continued to make trouble, but it was a man next to him, dressed in the same color as him, and had the same appearance, and seemed to be in the same door as him. This person is still unwilling, and his mouth is full of words, and he is angry. The others also showed disdain, and the two women even looked disdainful, as if looking at Su Aotian too much would also damage their faces.
Su Aotian has seen the face of this so-called disciple of a famous sect many times, and he has become psychologically numb, and he has also killed a few such guys under his hands, just turning a blind eye to these, if you don't provoke me, we will be fine, if you don't know whether you live or die, I won't be polite to you.
After eating and checking out, a total of ten lower-grade spirit stones, Su Aotian took out the medium-grade spirit stones to pay the bill, the shopkeeper was first surprised, and then overjoyed, after all, although the medium-grade spirit stones are worth a hundred lower-grade spirit stones, but few people are willing to exchange them like this, and they have a good impression of Su Aotian's generous loose cultivation, and after finding and paying the excess spirit stones, he respectfully sent Su Aotian out of the door.
Su Aotian was full of wine and food, and without any further delay, he went directly to a shop that operated talismans and bought some good talisman materials. The talisman master is an existence that everyone respects, and when the shopkeeper saw him make a move, he guessed that he might be a talisman master, although he saw that he was a casual cultivator, he didn't dare to slack off, plus Su Aotian bought a lot of money, and gave him a lot of discounts, and finally sent him out respectfully.
Su Aotian took these things and found a small inn, the price was not too expensive, and the several upper rooms in it were all made of boulders, which was convenient for monks to practice. Su Aotian asked for one, and after entering, he laid down a prohibition, began to make talismans, cultivated, and was very busy. Three months passed in a flash, and Su Aotian refined forty-five talismans, all of which were powerful in the early stage of foundation building, and he still maintained the principle of keeping a low profile, and he didn't need too many spirit stones, just enough.
Su Aotian came to the shop again with the talisman and asked the shopkeeper about the price. The shopkeeper saw him come to the door with a talisman, and became more and more sure that he was a talisman master, and when he saw Su Aotian's talisman, it seemed ordinary, but the rune patterns were looming, obscure and mysterious, and there were almost no fluctuations in the aura, but it gave people a faint sense of coercion, knowing that this refining technique was extraordinary, he was even more impressed by Su Aotian, and hurriedly let him into the room.
After the two of them sat down, the shopkeeper said: "The talisman of the Taoist friend is of good quality and breathtaking. I have a word, and I hope that Daoist friends will not be surprised, is this talisman refined by Daoist friends himself?" Su Aotian saw that he didn't seem to have malicious intent, his words were sincere, his eyes showed a look of hope, and secretly thought that in a big place like Xuanwu City, although talisman masters are rare, there should be some, and the famous faction has a deep heritage, and it is not surprising that there are one or two talismans in each family, even if he exposes the identity of the talisman, he will not be shocked, looking at the appearance of the shopkeeper, it seems that he is asking for himself, and see what he has to say, so he nodded and said: " Yes, it was under his own refining, and the shopkeeper smiled. ”
The shopkeeper was very excited: "Sure enough, I was not mistaken. I have something to ask for, and I hope that fellow Daoists will not be presumptuous and consider it carefully. This matter is beneficial to Taoist friends, and small shops can also benefit a lot, and Wanwang Taoist friends agreed. ”
