Chapter 252: The Poor Xutian Rogue Cultivator
There was a crowd outside Dongyuan City.
Except for the residents of the nearby ancient city, the monks from outside are not comparable to Wuyi City.
On the way forward, Gu Yuanqing saw four Xutian monks entering the city.
"Brother Gu, does he have condensed ancient coins? If not, Zheng can lend you some."
"No, thank you."
The two walked slowly and arrived at the city gate in an instant.
The native residents of the ancient world had road guides and identity fish charms, while outside monks had to pay ancient coins.
Zheng Kun handed over an ancient coin. The captain at the city gate took it and took a look at it. He handed over a waist badge and let him go.
Zheng Kun looked back and saw Gu Yuanqing taking out a token.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the city gate quickly clasped his fists and bowed: "I have met you, sir."
Gu Yuanqing clasped his fists in return.
"Your Majesty, please!"
The City Gate Colonel stepped aside with a respectful expression.
Gu Yuanqing smiled and nodded and walked towards the city gate. Although this offering order came from Wuyi City, with this order, all ancient cities and cities can enter.
Zheng Kun's eyes widened.
“Let’s go, Brother Zheng.”
Zheng Kun lowered his voice and said, “Brother Gu, where did you get this heavenly order?”
“What a coincidence. It’s just what you get.” Gu Yuanqing chuckled.
This is correct. He just stayed in Wuyi City for one night and went out for a walk. Someone personally delivered it to his door. Even he was surprised.
Got it by chance? Zheng Kun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He guessed that it was given by one of Gu Yuanqing's elders.
After all, this thing is not an ordinary item. Only heavenly people are qualified. But Gu Yuanqing didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He suddenly said excitedly: "This is a good thing, Brother Gu, you have to help me if I need a favor!"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"Heavenly Order can buy things in any city. Enjoy 10% off. There is a piece of fishing gear that I have wanted to buy for a long time, but I am short of money. It took me several years to accumulate it and I can barely get enough. Don’t worry, Zheng will not let Brother Gu help in vain. Half of the ancient coins saved are. Brother Gu’s reward.”
Gu Yuanqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need for remuneration or anything like that. It's just a favor to buy something. I'll be there soon."
"That's not possible. This is also an established rule. Heaven and man's orders require heaven and talent. Yes, those big sects have elders like me Even if a casual cultivator wants to use it, there is no way to use it. Tianren Daxiu doesn't like it at all. It seems that Brother Gu has entered the ancient world not long ago, so it would be good to have more ancient coins. Not much, but mosquito legs are also meat.”
Tianbao Tower.
The largest magic weapon shop in Dongyuan City.
“It is rumored that this Tianbao Tower is owned by the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. The magic weapons, talismans, and spiritual objects in it are the most complete in the ancient world. I heard that there are even treasures of heaven and man, but they are horribly expensive, and If you want to buy the treasure of heaven and man, you won’t accept ancient coins with one pattern. You need ancient coins with five patterns to be eligible.”
Five-pattern ancient coins?
Gu Yuanqing was thoughtful.
The so-called five patterns refer to the Tao patterns that appear on ancient coins after condensing them. Normally Xutian monks can only condense one pattern of ancient coins, and with each additional pattern, the value of the ancient coin increases tenfold. More than enough.
These ancient coins are all condensed souls and souls. Although they are used for circulation, they are actually no different from talismans. It is said that the method of condensing ancient coins comes from the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. Many of the magic formations of the Wei Dynasty are reliable. This ancient coin moves.
Tianbao Tower occupies a very large area. It is a seven-story building. Each floor is nearly 100 feet long and nearly 100 feet tall. It is like a majestic palace.
Various rare and exotic items are displayed on it.
In the shop, the magic circle is shrouded, and a sword hangs in the center of the shop, faintly exuding terrifying energy, as if it will escape from its shell at any time.
The clerk in the shop is at least a Daohuo cultivator, and the shopkeeper is Xutian Daxiu.
It can be said that in this shop, ordinary heavenly beings would not dare to mess around.
In the shop, there are more than a dozen monks selecting treasures, including outside monks and monks born and raised in the ancient city.
"Waiter, bring me a set of Qinglin Bamboo Mysterious Fishing Tackle."
Zheng Kun had clearly taken a liking to the item, and as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to a counter.
The shop assistant in Tsing Yi glanced at it, smiled and said: "Okay, sir, wait a moment."
He raised his hand and waved, and the two sets were wrapped in leather. The fishing tackle fell into his hands.
This is the transit city to the Wuliang River. If there are other treasures, there may not be any, but this fishing gear can be said to be very complete.
"Sir, please take a look. These two pieces are the finest pieces of Xuanjie fishing gear. They were made by Bai Zuogong, the treasure-casting master of Tianbao Tower. They use green-scaled bamboo as the rod, Qiqiaotian silk as the thread, and the finest Qianqiao Tianbao. The iron smelting essence is used as a hook, not to mention other things, it is of Xuanpin quality. Daohun definitely doesn’t have to worry about the line breaking or the rod breaking.”
Zheng Kun took it out and saw that the true soul entered, and he immediately felt that the soul’s aura was unobstructed and flawless. It was better than his previous fishing gear. How much.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, can you help me palm my eyes?"
Gu Yuanqing also took it and took a look at it curiously.
“Let’s do this, it looks more pleasing to the eye.” Gu Yuanqing gave the suggestion.
Zheng Kun compared it and felt a little hesitant.
The store clerk looked at Gu Yuanqing in surprise. The shopkeeper of the two sets of fishing tackle also said that he could not tell whether they were good or bad, but he said that the treasure casting master Bai Zuogong once said that one of them was slightly defective. The shopkeeper, who was proficient in the art of casting treasures, took many days of comparison to see the clues, but the young man in front of him seemed to recognize it at a glance.
He had a guess in his mind, and he didn’t know if he was also proficient in the art of casting, or if he was just guessing.
The clerk said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, as long as the props produced by my Tianbao Tower, no matter which one is a high-quality product, you can't be deceived."
Zheng Kun finally started comparing after repeated comparisons. Referring to Gu Yuanqing's suggestions.
"That's it, how much is it?"
"The price is clearly marked, three thousand dollars."
Zheng Kun asked: "Can I have less?"
"Guest, Tianbao Lou never bargains. This is true for both monks in this world and outsiders."
Zheng Kun sighed, looked at Gu Yuanqing and said, "Brother Gu, I'm in trouble."
Gu Yuanqing took out the token: "Can I get a discount if I have this?"
The waiter was surprised when he saw this, and his smile became more respectful: "Please wait a moment, sir."
Then he heard from the shopkeeper.
A moment later, the shopkeeper came quickly, took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then sent it back respectfully.
"With the enshrining order, of course it's okay. The guest officer can give you two thousand seven hundred knives." Zheng Kun took out the ancient coins from the Qiankun bag, and they were all in the shape of a knife.
Looking at the few ancient coins in the Qiankun bag, Zheng Kun felt heartbroken.
Putting the fishing gear back in his bag, he couldn't help but say: "We, the casual cultivators, have a really hard life. We thought we would be able to achieve heaven and find fortune by coming to this ancient world, but everything here has to start from scratch. , I didn’t find many opportunities, and I spent the whole day thinking of ways to make money. What’s even more annoying is that this thing. If you want to take it out of the ancient world, you have to spend money."
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The guest wants the Void Stone, and we have it too."
Zheng Kun waved his hand and said: "Forget it. Well, it would be more cost-effective to find ways to catch some Dao Souls and increase Dao Xing.”
Then he asked Gu Yuanqing: "Brother Gu, do you want to buy a prop? Although it is possible to fish with the true soul as a hook, it is too labor-intensive. It is better to have a magic weapon in hand. You can also practice or condense ancient coins while fishing. ."
Gu Yuanqing pondered for a moment, his eyes swept across the store, and then Pointing to a piece of fishing tackle, he said: "That's the one."
The shopkeeper looked back and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, are you talking about this yellow-grade black iron fishing tackle?"
In his opinion, Gu Yuanqing was a big shot holding the Celestial Token, so he would actually choose such a piece of fishing gear.
Zheng Kun couldn't help but said: "Brother Gu, it would be better if I got one. I still have some ancient coins that I can lend you."
Gu Yuanqing smiled and said: "No, I'm the first to come here, so I'll try it out first."
The shopkeeper raised his hand and handed it to Gu Yuanqing.
Gu Yuanqing took it and tried it: "That's it, it's very convenient."
The shopkeeper said: "Fellow Taoist, just give me twelve knives."
Gu Yuanqing He took out two ancient coins from his arms and handed them over.
After taking it, the shopkeeper handed another one back, and then found three ancient coins with one pattern and came back. He smiled and said: "One coin with two patterns is enough. Our shop is not a bank. Ancient coins with two patterns are worth fifteen." Knife. The golden sign of my Tianbao Tower is that no one can deceive anyone."
Zheng Kun took a look and couldn't help but look at Gu Yuanqing with a hint of surprise.
Everyone knows that ancient coins with two patterns are much more valuable than those with one pattern, but the two Dao patterns are not so easy to condense. The soul, Dao Yun, and technique all need to be of the highest quality. According to his understanding, this is at least as good as You have to be at the peak of Xutian to have this strength.
It’s just that Zheng Kun didn’t know whether Gu Yuanqing condensed the ancient coins himself or if they were given by others.
But this involves personal cultivation, so it’s not good to ask more.
Whether it is the outside world or the ancient world, cultivation is a personal secret. If you have the ability, you can estimate it yourself. If you pry into it rashly, you will easily become enemies.
Gu Yuanqing took another look at the storage bag on the treasure shelf. The cheapest one cost nearly a thousand dollars, so he gave up and asked again: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell void stones here?"
“Which one does the guest officer want?”
“Lao Please tell me.”
“Then let me introduce it to you. A low-grade void stone costs one thousand dollars, a medium-grade one costs five thousand dollars, and a high-grade one costs ten thousand dollars. However, the high-grade one is considered a small shop. There are very few of them. If you need it, you have to book it in advance and get it from the treasure house.”
Gu Yuanqing nodded and said: "Thank you very much. I will come back to you if necessary."
"Okay, you are welcome to come over at any time."
"Do you have anything else to buy?" Gu Yuanqing Ask Zheng Kun again.
“I can’t afford it even if I want to buy it.” Zheng Kun shook his head.
Hearing this, Gu Yuanqing suddenly realized that the Xutian monks in this ancient world were really poor.
"Then let's go."
The two walked out of the store.
Zheng Kun suddenly said: "Fellow Taoist, are you thinking that in this ancient world, the life of Xutian monk is really miserable?"
Gu Yuanqing nodded and said: "Indeed, the Void Heaven Realm can also be considered Daxiu is also a big shot in the Linglong world, and his strength is extraordinary, so he shouldn’t be like this.”
Zheng Kun smiled bitterly and said, “You’ll know when Brother Gu stays in the ancient world for a long time. .”
Gu Yuanqing asked: "Can you tell me about it?"
Zheng Kun said: "Anyway, we still have to wait for one day to move the formation to Wulianghe. We have nothing to do today, so let's find a place to sit down and talk. ."
After a while, the two sat down in a restaurant.
Zheng Kun ordered wine and food, and while waiting, he first presented one hundred and fifteen ancient coins with one pattern.
"Brother Gu, please accept it. Thank you very much for today."
Gu Yuanqing did not refuse anymore and took it with a smile: "Then I'm not polite."
"It should be true. What we monks fear most is owing favors. Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay." I felt relieved after my friend accepted it."
Gu Yuanqing laughed: "That's true."
After a while, the waiter brought the food and wine.
Zheng Kun said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, you can try it. The wine and food in this ancient world are not bad. Although we don't need these worldly foods, we can still try these delicacies occasionally."
Gu Yuanqing tasted a few mouthfuls and felt that his appetite was whetted. It was much better than the food and drinks at Zuixianju in the floating world.
The two chatted casually for a while, and then turned to the current situation of the ancient world again.
Zheng Kun waved his hand and covered it with the domain barrier, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Gu should have experienced the full moon night in this world, right?"
Gu Yuanqing said: "I was there that day Something happened in Wuyi City that night, and the whole city was in chaos."
Zheng Kun said: "Did everything return to the status quo the next day?"
Gu Yuanqing nodded and said: "It is true, and they have all forgotten what happened last night."
Zheng Kun said: "The native people in the entire ancient world have been like this for countless years. They are neither alive nor dead, and exist forever. How on earth? became like this, or Perhaps only the Celestial Masters of large sects such as the Taikoo Shen Sect and the Phantom Spirit Sect know about it."
Recalling the scene of that night, Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but sigh. This kind of immortality has even erased his memory. Go, living in this world may not be a blessing.
Zheng Kun said again: "Although the Great Wei Dynasty tolerated outside monks in this world, it was very wary. At most, it issued a heavenly order to give great respect to heavenly beings. Except for the ancient divine sect, there were few people with whom Outside monks cooperate. What’s more important is that no monk wants to provoke the native residents of this world.” When Gu Yuanqing heard about this for the second time, he couldn’t help but ask: “Why is this?”
Zheng Kun said: "Because he can't be killed, and under the rules of this world, even if he is killed, he can be resurrected after a month. And outside monks like us will be stained with evil spirits, which will not dissipate for a long time. If the evil spirits are too strong, wherever he passes, All the native residents will regain their memories under the stimulation of evil spirits and turn into ghosts. They will also be hunted down by the masters of the Great Wei Dynasty.
All places of opportunity in the ancient world require the help of the Great Teleportation Formation in the ancient city. We monks are here to seek opportunities, so even the most treacherous and evil people will not cause harm in this world. Damn it."
"That's it."
Zheng Kun smiled bitterly: "It would be better if it were a heavenly being. Well, there are many discounts under the Heavenly Order, but it is even more difficult for casual cultivators like us in the Void Heaven Realm. The Great Wei Dynasty only used ancient coins to trade with outside monks. In the Land of Chance, buying artifacts requires money. Even if you find a real ancient artifact, you still have to buy it if you want to take it out of the world. Void Stone, and these things are either controlled by the Wei Dynasty or in the hands of the great sects. Do you think this life can be sad?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuanqing finally understood why Chen Zhengfeng, Bai Xianghui and others, obviously There is an ancestor Xutian in the clan who has entered the ancient world, but he knows so little about the ancient world.
As a great cultivator of Xutian, he is an ancestor in one world, but he seems to be nothing in the ancient world. He lives such a miserable life, how can he tell his juniors?
