Chapter 97 Tracking
Chifeng Town is an ancient town with pavilions and pavilions. In the small town of Chifeng, there are people who are cultivators of immortality, and there are also secular mortals. After all, there are thousands of disciples in Lingxiao Palace, multiplying from generation to generation. There are always some mortals who are not qualified to become immortals. Or perhaps some palace disciples who had experienced the worldly affairs met a secular woman and took her to a place not far from the palace gate to settle down.
After several generations, many people gathered here. It developed into a sizable town. Occasionally, monks passing by Lingxiao Palace would choose to stay here. Some casual cultivators kill people and seize treasures in other places, offending other sects. If it is inconvenient to sell the spiritual objects and unable to go through formal channels, they will go to other sects and choose to sell the spiritual objects privately. Especially this time, disciples from several major sects are passing through, which makes the small town of Chifeng much more prosperous than usual.
Lu Xiaotian rode the spirit crane and landed in a nearby grove. When he came out again, he was already a man wearing a black cloak and a long scar on his face.
He walked through the streets of the town, walked through several alleys, and found the address of the auction at the entrance of a compound. There are two late-stage Qi Refining guards at the door, and there is also a cashier.
"Stop, no strangers are allowed in." The monk at the door stopped Lu Xiaotian and said.
“I’m here to sign up for the auction.” Lu Xiaotian said in a hoarse voice.
“Five spiritual stones.” Mr. Accountant said with a genuine smile.
Lu Xiaotian didn’t waste any time and handed over the spirit stone directly. Mr. Accountant handed over a green jade sign and said, "There is still an hour and a half before the auction starts. Taoist friends must enter before the auction starts, and it will be invalid after that."
"Got it." Lu Xiaotian paid the spirit stone directly. While there was still time, I wandered around the streets of the town. Basically, what appeared in the market of Lingxiao Palace were some spiritual weapons refined by the disciples of Lingxiao Palace, elixirs, and some spiritual herbs grown. This time, disciples from various sects gathered together. Although the level was not high, there were still many novel things.
Lu Xiaotian looked at some vendors along the way, but didn't see anything suitable. I couldn't help but feel uninterested, but when I thought about it, he already had magical weapons in his hands, as well as a top-quality defensive spiritual weapon, the Ice Silk Silk Armor. Naturally, I don't like other things that can be used during the Qi refining period.
But just when he thought there was nothing to visit, he suddenly saw in an inconspicuous corner of the alley, an old woman coughing, with a cultivation level in the late stage of Qi refining, and a stall displaying He was reading a book, which was clearly the "Hunyuan Jing". There were three black spiritual tablets placed next to the "Hunyuan Jing".
The things this old woman put out were almost the same as those owned by the old man in black robes. Lu Xiaotian took a closer look and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. It turned out to be the early foundation-building chapter of the "Hunyuan Jing".
"How do you sell this exercise book?" Lu Xiaotian walked to the old woman's stall and asked.
"If you don't want to sell it, you can only exchange it for elixirs, which are used to improve your cultivation in the later stages of Qi refining. Twenty Vitality Pills will do." The old woman shook her head and said.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. Although the "Hunyuan Jing" is a rare skill, he has already looked for it in the library hall of Lingxiao Palace and couldn't find it at all. But as long as he can successfully build the foundation, he can naturally get other books in Lingxiao Palace. Foundation building technique. It only costs part of the spiritual stones, and the price is not expensive. It's not that he doesn't have any elixirs, but the old woman's request is a bit strange. Logically speaking, most people wouldn't choose such an unorthodox technique. After selling the spirit stones, you can still buy elixirs. Why bother asking for a magic pill in exchange? Pingbai turned away some people who wanted to buy the exercises.
However, the "Hunyuan Jing" is very important to him. Although Lu Xiaotian hesitated a little, he still took out a bottle of Wuhua Pill and said, "Here are eight Wuhua Pills." "Uhua Pill?" A look of surprise flashed across the woman's face. Most of the Qi refining disciples used the relatively popular Vitality Pill. Those who could use the Wuhua Pill all had a very strong background. They came from the Xiuxian sect's foundation building, or even from the Jindan family. Children.
Seeing that the old woman had received Wuhua Dan, Lu Xiaotian took the skill and turned around and left.
"Fellow Taoist, do you want to take a look at these scales? I only need a few Wuhua Dan." The old woman called Lu Xiaotian from behind.
"What's the purpose of these black scales?" Lu Xiaotian stagnated, turned around and asked.
“I don’t know very well, but this is the strange thing about these scales. The origin of these scales is not simple. I heard that they all came from an ancient monk site. They must have their own uniqueness. , It’s just that ordinary monks can’t figure it out,” the old woman said with a smile.
"No need, since ordinary monks can't understand it, there is no need for me to spend time on such useless scales."
He already has a few scales on his hand, Never figured out what it was about. The old foundation-building man I met in the library hall also had a few pieces in his hand. Even the foundation-building monks couldn't study them thoroughly. There is no use holding them now. And this old woman didn't look right. He didn't want to cause too much trouble. After saying that, Lu Xiaotian left directly.
"Second sister, is there something fishy about this person?" Not long after Lu Xiaotian left, three monks appeared in the alley. One of them, an old man with a hooked nose, asked with a gloomy look.
"This person is extremely careful. When he bought the Hunyuan Jing just now, he obviously looked at these scales a few times. I can't say for sure, but if he can offer Wuhua Dan in exchange, he must be rich, so just focus on the Dan on his body. If you can take medicine, you need to get to the bottom of it. We can make a lot of money by getting other Hunyuan Sutras from him. The map we have now is part of the second level of the secret place. It is a place where foundation-building monks only go. It is of no use to us except for refining it. Qi period exercises can obtain the earth After the picture, you might be able to enter it and find the Foundation Establishment Pill." The old woman hummed, "If there is a mistake, I will not let it go. The "Hunyuan Jing" technique is so partial that ordinary people will not choose it. If he had never practiced, how could he choose "Choose this book of exercises?"
"The second sister is right. I have killed him wrongly, so I won't let him go. It's rare that this person is still alone. After we leave the town, we will find an opportunity to intercept him." ." Another stubby middle-aged man nodded.
"In this case, third brother, you are good at tracking. Follow this person closely and leave a code. Second sister, I, and fourth brother will chase after him." The hook-nosed old man immediately made a decision and turned to the side. The middle-aged man in green shirt who didn't speak said.
The middle-aged man in Qingshan nodded and followed Lu Xiaotian in the direction he left with brisk steps. After walking and stopping for nearly an hour, Lu Xiaotian handed over a jade token to the guard and entered the small courtyard where the auction was held. The middle-aged man in black shirt smiled secretly, "I actually went to the auction. It seems that he is indeed a fat sheep."
