Volume IV: Taiqingmen, 528, Changyangfang City
According to the records of Taigang Sword Duel, this sword is one, and the secret technique of flying the sword can greatly increase the speed, and the sword light that wraps the whole body is infused with all the mana essence of the caster, and the power is far from being comparable to the basic sword technique.
If the enemy is in the void near the retreat, he will be affected by different Cheng dù, and if he forcibly approaches, his skin will be opened, so once this technique is performed, it will still be offensive and defensive in a certain way.
Its only flaw is probably that it is a kind of high-power valve that is desperate to cast this technique, which consumes too much mana, and Liu Ming's current mana can't last too long.
And once this method is unsuccessful, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to send yourself to the opponent, and you must use it very carefully.
For Liu Ming, his swordsmanship has only reached the point of Xiaocheng, and if he wants to exert the true power of swordsmanship, he has to go through continuous actual combat experience.
After the two secret techniques had been basically cultivated and mastered, he immediately decided to go to Fang City to buy some alchemy materials and continue to refine some pills.
With a twist of thought, he put away the small red sword, and immediately left the cave, stepping on the black clouds and breaking through the sky in the direction of the Xuandian.
After receiving a task of collecting elixir from the Xuan Bang, he left the sect and headed towards a certain canyon.
In the next two or three months, he took some tasks that were of ordinary difficulty and did not have high contribution points, but they were far away from the sect, but every time he went, there would be a small and medium-sized market nearby that was not very noticeable.
After he sold the more than 20 condensing pills in his hand in batches, he purchased a lot of auxiliary materials needed for refining.
As for these sect tasks, for him, whose strength was no longer weaker than the crystallization stage. Naturally, it was effortless, and it was all completed smoothly.
One day after three months. On the third floor of a large shop in Taiqing Menfang City, Liu Ming was sitting on a brown wooden chair. A thoughtful look.
In the past few days, he has visited many shops in Taiqingmen Neifang City, large and small, that he has never patronized, and as long as the green condensate fruit that meets the requirements of the fire has been swept away by him.
If it weren't for the fact that other accessories had already been prepared, but there was still some green condensate missing, he wouldn't have come to this shop of some size to inquire again.
However, what made him happy was that the shopkeeper said that there were indeed more than a dozen green condensation fruits that were about two hundred years old in the store, and if these dozen or so were counted, it would be just enough to use up the remaining excipients to refine the pill.
"This fellow Daoist has been waiting for a long time. This is the green fruit you want. ”
After about half a cup of tea, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a gray robe, walked upstairs with a yellow jade box in his hand, and respectfully placed the jade box in front of Liu Ming.
"I'm tired. After Liu Ming got up to return the salute, he immediately took the jade box and patted it lightly with one hand.
After a faint yellow spirit pattern flashed on the jade box, the lid of the box slid open, revealing more than ten fist-sized pieces. A green fruit.
For Liu Ming, who had already seen hundreds of green condensation fruits, there was no need to carefully identify them, but after a rough glance with his eyes, he was sure that these green condensation fruits did have a fire temperature of about two hundred years.
But he still grabbed a green condensate fruit in one hand. After carefully looking at it in front of him, he carefully put it back into the jade box.
"These are indeed green condensation fruits that have been in the heat for two hundred years. Dare to ask the shopkeeper, how much are these green condensate fruits in total?" Liu Ming glanced up at the middle-aged man. Shen Sheng asked.
"There are thirteen in total, each with six thousand spirit stones. A total of 78,000 spirit stones. The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Seventy-eight thousand spirit stones..."Liu Ming's face sank, and he looked noncommittal.
"This fellow Daoist. If you really want it, you can give 70,000 spirit stones. Forgive for taking the liberty of the next day, it seems that it is not the first time that Daoyou has come to our store to purchase Qingning Fruit, I don't know what kind of pill the guest intends to refine when purchasing Qingning Fruit? The middle-aged man gave Liu Ming a discount quite happily, and then asked softly with a smile on his face.
"I only purchased raw materials for a certain alchemy master in the sect, and I didn't know what kind of elixir he wanted to refine. Liu Ming frowned in his heart, but replied very quietly on the surface.
"Most of the alchemy masters in this sect are familiar with each other, but I don't know ......."
"The shopkeeper, I have been instructed not to reveal the identity of this master to outsiders. Okay, there are still important things to do, so I'll take my leave first. Liu Ming didn't wait for the middle-aged man to finish speaking, he put away the jade box, took out a cloth bag containing spirit stones from his waist and put it on the table, and after a slight bow, he hurriedly went downstairs and left the store in a hurry.
Although he had been very careful to purchase a large number of accessories from other markets, but because this green condensate fruit was only available in Zongmenfang City in this vicinity, he purchased it in large quantities, but obviously this move was too eye-catching, and it had already attracted the attention of people with hearts.
After some deliberation in Liu Ming's heart, he decided that he would not be able to buy this elixir in Zongneifang City so wantonly in the future.
After returning to the cave, he retreated again for more than a month before refining all the remaining materials in his hands.
At this time, among the Sumeru snails on his waist, there were already hundreds of condensation pills, among which there were even seven mortal pills and one earth pill.
Liu Ming played with the pill with four Dan lines, and immediately groaned.
At this moment, he already had a clear understanding of the value of the condensation pill in the condensation period, and basically he could sell about fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones when he entered the condensation pill, which was almost ten times more than ten times that of the ordinary level condensation pill.
However, other similar condensation-grade pills that enhance mana, the price of ordinary pills is almost the same as that of condensation pills, but after entering the product, the price of ordinary condensate-grade pills can only be sold for about 30,000 spirit stones, which is far less than the price of the incoming condensation pills, and it is only several times the price of its own ordinary pills.
During this time, he also asked a middle-aged shopkeeper about the purchase price of Dipin Condensing Pill in a shop pù in Zongwaifang City.
As a result, the shopkeeper who seemed to have a late-stage cultivation of condensate immediately grabbed his hand excitedly, and offered a sky-high price of 500,000 spirit stones without hesitation, and was full of good words.
This made Liu Ming feel very surprised.
If he hadn't hurriedly said that he was just asking casually, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to leave lightly.
After this experience, he inquired a little in other markets, and finally knew what was going on.
Originally, there were many cultivators who relied on swallowing a large amount of pills to improve their mana, because they took too many pills, so they all developed a certain resistance to a variety of pills in their bodies, and if they wanted to rely on the power of similar pills to break through the bottleneck in the future, the effect would be greatly weakened, or even completely ineffective.
And the condensation pill, originally very few people refined, and there are even fewer who can refine the grade, from a certain point of view, in breaking through the bottleneck is to take it, and it is also a better pill to break through the bottleneck.
I don't know how many cultivators or cultivation families who have failed to hit a certain bottleneck many times are eager for these out-of-the-way pills, and even do not hesitate to offer sky-high prices to buy them in the Fang Market all year round.
In this way, the incoming condensation pill will be much more expensive than other common pills of the same kind.
On the one hand, the local pill is because of its excellent efficacy, and on the other hand, it is very rare, so the price is even higher, and it can be sold at such an unbelievable sky-high price in the market.
Because of this, Liu Ming became more and more afraid to let others know that he had the ability to refine refrigeration and condensation single-level pills, otherwise even if Taiqingmen knew about it, I am afraid that the best result would be to keep it in captivity and let it refine the pill day and night.
Liu Ming naturally refused to do this kind of thing that sacrificed one of them and benefited the entire sect.
After thinking about it for a while, he put all the pills in his hand into the jade box.
He had already decided that next time he would go to a large market outside the sect where he could collect a large number of green condensate fruits.
In this way, whether it is the sale of pills or the purchase of raw materials, it will all be completed outside the Taiqing Gate, and it will not attract anyone's attention.
After thinking about it, he immediately left the cave mansion and drove the clouds to the Xuan Hall again.
This time, after Liu Ming made a selection on the Xuan Bang, he took on a task that was outside the influence area of the Taiqingmen forces.
The specific content of the task is that the Zongmen refining shop in a remote and large Fang City has a time limit of one year, and you can return to the sect within one year.
The reason is that the outer disciple who was originally in the town needs to leave for a period of time because of something, and he will return within a year at most, so he needs to temporarily find another outer disciple to take care of him.
However, because this task does not give many contribution points and takes a long time, although it has been hung up a month ago, no one has taken it.
However, such a rather unpopular sect task, for the current Liu Ming, just meets the standard in his heart, and one year is enough time for him to complete a series of things such as purchasing materials, alchemy, and selling pills in Zongwaifang City, and he has made a lot of money.
After he received this sect task, he immediately inquired about a deacon disciple and learned that to go to this Changyangfang City, he had to use the special long-distance teleportation circle in the sect, and then pass through several teleportation circles of other forces before he could reach the Fang City where the task was located.
He immediately returned to the cave, sorted out the necessary materials, and planned to leave on the second day.
Early in the morning of the second day, at the foot of a relatively hidden peak in the Wanling Mountain Range, a black cloud flashed, and a young man in a green robe fell from the black cloud.
It was Liu Ming.
At this moment, the sky was still dark, and he came to this special teleportation place in this remote place.
At a glance, at the foot of the mountain peak is a seemingly ordinary stone hall seven or eight zhang high, and there are two cyan giant stone statues holding huge axes at the door, the door is closed, and the surface is shrouded in a white expanse. (To be continued......)
