Chapter 123 Accepting the bet and admitting defeat; Huoyang Jade participates in the fourth-level spiritual ruler
“I can’t believe that I can still find such a big bargain here!”
Spending hundreds of spiritual stones, After buying a few ginseng plants, Xiao Yuxue quickly pulled Lu Cheng away from the stall area as if she was a successful thief.
Then the little girl excitedly showed off to Lu Cheng while walking: "This is Huoyang Jade Ginseng. The grown Huoyang Jade Ginseng is red in color and is very different from ordinary jade ginseng, but the young ginseng seedlings are very red. Only the rhizome appears red, so it is easy to be confused.”
Lingshen is a common second-level elixir that replenishes vitality and promotes qi and blood. Huoyang Jade Ginseng is a fourth-level elixir, and can even be used as an auxiliary medicine for many fifth-level elixirs. The value of the two is vastly different, and these Lu Cheng also know it.
"But, you took advantage of it so easily?"
Lu Cheng was puzzled, then reached out to take the jade box in Xiao Yuxue's arms, and checked it directly on the street.
Opening the jade box, Lu Cheng found the Huoyang jade ginseng larvae that Xiao Yuxue was talking about, stared at its roots, and finally, with Xiao Yuxue's nervous and distressed eyes, touched the roots and put Smell under the nose.
"Xuesha, junior sister, you have been deceived. These red parts were stained by the stall owner using a special technique."
"Huh?"
Xiao Yuxue's expression changed when she heard this. She took the spiritual ginseng and then tested it like Lu Cheng did. Gradually, her expression suddenly came to her senses.
"I'm going to find him. Normal spiritual ginseng seedlings don't cost forty spiritual stones."
Xiao Yuxue was about to explode with anger at this moment.
For the first time in my life, I picked up a leak in the market, but it turned out that I was tricked, and it was in front of Senior Brother Lu Cheng.
Those spiritual stones are nothing, the main thing is that this breath is really hard to swallow.
Seeing Xiao Yuxue walking back angrily, Lu Cheng had no choice but to follow. Just walking, Xiao Yuxue's pace in front was getting slower and slower.
"What's wrong with junior sister?"
"...Forget it, I won't go. Not to mention whether I can find the stall owner after I go there. Even if I find a fair deal, I can't. The truth is, I want to pick up the leaks, and others want to earn my spiritual stones. Based on my ability, if I mess around at this time, I will embarrass myself and my father."
"..."
Listening to these words, Lu Cheng looked at Xiao Yuxue in front of him. , I just feel that the words and deeds of Master and Master are really good.
You want to pick up the leaks, and others want to earn your spiritual stones. Everyone relies on their eyesight and admits defeat. Otherwise, they are messing around and can only take advantage but not suffer losses. There is no such truth in the world.
The price of items in the stalls in Fangshi City is cheaper than those in the shops in Fangshi, but naturally there are shoddy goods and various tricks and methods that can be used in other places. But this is the Wanbao Conference run by Ba Jingjing. If Xiao Yuxue goes there, even if Xiao Yuxue takes out her father's name and forces the stall owner to withdraw the spirit stone, Huang Longzi's face will be lost in the end.
However, this matter aroused the interest of Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue, and they returned to the stall area to continue "picking up leaks."
A monk practicing, in addition to being a true disciple of a prominent sect, must learn a hundred arts to cultivate immortality. The problem is that Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue are true disciples of a prominent sect. They have been practicing to this day. They are all dedicated to cultivating the Tao without any distractions, and their attainments in cultivating immortals and various arts are far inferior to the level of many foundation-building monks in the same realm.
In addition, the two of them are not just good at being coaxed and deceived in this area.
It's just that Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue no longer buy things easily, but focus on the skills of these monks to invite you into the urn. Sometimes, it is not worth spending some spiritual stones to see the designs that people have exhausted their ingenuity.
Both Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue can go to the back mountain of Guanzhong at this time, continue to participate in the Eight Views Dharma Assembly that has not yet ended, and watch the sword fights of the true monks of various sects.
However, both of them had just taken the Yuxu Yan Dao Fruit, which was quite mentally draining, so they did not go there. Instead, they hung out at the Wanbao Conference at the foot of the mountain to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge.
On this day, the two of them also hung out in the stalls of these monks and learned many tricks to deceive people. Suddenly, Xiao Yuxue tugged on Lu Cheng's sleeve and sent a message with her spiritual consciousness:
"Senior brother, look at that thing!"
As he said that, he pointed to a gray jade ruler on a stall. There were many items in this stall, such as animal skins, jade slips, elixirs, talismans, magical instruments, medicinal materials, and animal bones.
The jade ruler Xiao Yuxue pointed to looked dim, but it was very moist and seemed to have a strange charm.
It’s just that she has been deceived a lot during this period. Although she only lost a few hundred spiritual stones in total, Xiao Yuxue’s alertness has increased. A few days ago, she would not have been so careful. .
Lu Cheng blinked at Xiao Yuxue, then walked to the stall as if nothing had happened and picked up the white and cyan jade ruler.
“Fellow Taoist, what kind of magic weapon is this?”
The owner of the stall was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with dark skin and a strong build. He had obviously been here for many years. His eyes wandered back and forth between Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue. Although Xiao Yuxue was wearing a veil, he see this girl With a graceful and graceful figure, a look of amazement still flashed in her eyes. When she heard the question, she quickly turned away her gaze and replied to Lu Cheng:
"Shang Xiu has really good eyesight. He selected the best products in my stall at a glance. Treasure, this is a fourth-level magic "
"Don't bluff people, are you selling fourth-level magic weapons at your stall?"
"Hey, of course I can't sell intact fourth-level magic weapons here, but It is a damaged fourth-level magic weapon. My ancestors once There were high-level monks in the upper realm, but it was passed down to my generation. I really feel sorry for my ancestors, but I have no choice but to sell the relics of my ancestors."
"How many spiritual stones. ?”
Lu Cheng picked up the jade ruler and played with it in his hand. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
Lu Cheng is not proficient in the art of refining artifacts, nor is he a prospector, nor is he proficient in artifacts or mineral identification. But he had cultivated his sword intention, and at this moment, an extremely weak sword intention emerged from his body. Faintly, Lu Cheng felt that on the jade ruler in his hand, a wave of sword intention emerged against his own. Fierce and bloody murderous intent.
"This is the evil spirit that was cultivated after killing many people." Such a realization flashed in Lu Cheng's heart.
"Hey, fifteen thousand spirit stones."
The sturdy man tried his best to smile honestly, but Lu Cheng put down the jade ruler and left after hearing this.
"Do you have a serious illness? Are you selling me fifteen thousand spiritual stones for a broken magic weapon?"
After saying that, Lu Cheng flicked his sleeves and left with Xiao Yuxue.
"Guest, please don't leave. Please listen to my explanation. I guarantee it with the ancestors of my Wei family. This jade ruler was really my ancestor's favorite thing back then. After repairing it, it will be at least a fourth-level top-grade one." 15,000 spiritual stones to buy a fourth-level high-grade magic weapon. Where can I find it? ?”
“Guest, please don’t leave, how much do you say?”
Xiao Yuxue originally wanted to follow Lu Cheng, but she was stunned for a moment when she received a message from Lu Cheng. He was a little confused, as if he was confused by the stall owner's words.
Seeing that his female companion had not left, the young Taoist had no choice but to turn back and said:
“Five thousand spiritual stones, no more.”
“Guest, no one can bargain like you, just give me a fraction. Forget it, you wiped out my main price and gave me a small change?”
“Are you going to sell it? If you don’t sell it, I’ll leave.” I went to hold Xiao Yuxue and wanted to force her away.
"Old Wei, your jade ruler has been sold since your father's generation. It's rare to meet a big customer now, so you should sell it quickly."
There is a stall owner watching next to him. Jokes, interjected.
"Guest, you can give me another two thousand spirit stones. I will guarantee it with my ancestors. This is really a fine magic weapon. My grandfather told me that in those days, my ancestors of the Wei family were most proud of This magic weapon once cost fifteen thousand spiritual stones, but my grandfather was not willing to sell it."
The stall owner surnamed Wei ignored others and continued to confuse him.
"Don't pull me, you don't feel sorry for me at all. It will be my father's birthday in a while. You haven't even prepared a decent gift. How can you get my father to agree to our affairs! I Where have I visited the stalls before? It wasn’t just for you.”
The young couple quarreled and suddenly became a mess.
In the end, the young Taoist, under attack from both sides of the stall owner and his young lover, had to reluctantly take out 7,000 spiritual stones to buy the fourth-level weapon that had been damaged for many years. Magical weapon. It is said to be a fourth-level magic weapon, but in fact, who knows whether it can still be repaired well.
Anyway, the Wei family has not been able to repair it over the years. It is difficult for the low-level monks of this generation to find a fourth-level high-grade weapon refiner.
“Hey, I really let you sell it!” Seeing that both parties had paid off, the stall owner surnamed Wei next to him was a little envious.
"..." Seeing that his ancestor's beloved magic weapon was bought by others, the stall owner surnamed Wei stood there in a daze. Finally, he came to his senses at the call of his companion.
“That’s all, that’s all, that magic weapon, grandfather and father, cannot be repaired by generations of my Wei family, so why am I still attached to it? With these seven thousand spirit stones, my son can buy the Foundation Establishment Pill. It's almost certain, this is the future of my Wei family. Those two people still don't know that seven thousand spiritual stones bought an irreparable magic weapon. If they find out about it, they might come back and make things worse. I’d better leave quickly and avoid the limelight.”
Although we agreed to buy it and let each of them rely on their abilities, the seven thousand spiritual stones are worth it. After all, the matter was still too big. After thinking about it, the stall owner surnamed Wei decided to leave and never come here again.
On the other side, Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue walked to a deserted corner. Xiao Yuxue finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked anxiously: "Brother, we won't be deceived by them again this time, right? Did we really get a bargain this time?”
Hearing this, Lu Cheng took out the jade ruler again, his sword intent surged, and a faint force spread out from the jade ruler. The green light is ominous.
"It is indeed a damaged fourth-level magic weapon, and I can confirm that it should have been a very powerful magic weapon when it was intact. Seven thousand spiritual stones, even if it cannot be repaired, will be given to friends who practice the art of weapon refining. It’s definitely not a loss if you play with it. This time we should It’s time to really pick it up and miss it.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yuxue covered her mouth and smiled until her eyes turned into crescents. After suffering so much at the hands of these vendors these days, she finally got rid of those hateful vendors. In hand, it is cheaper to earn a little bit.
These days, Xiao Yuxue has come to realize one thing: there is no businessman without treachery. The masters of those stalls are not very good, but they are really treacherous and slippery.
Seven days later, Tang Shi was ready to leave here and return to Yinshan.
Although he still has some senior brothers participating in the Eight Scenery Dharma Conference, the relationship between Tang Shi and those senior brothers cannot be said to be harmonious. This time they did not win the secret treasure of overcoming the tribulation as expected. If they act together again, they may have to listen. Some unpleasant words were said, so Tang Shi wanted to leave first.
Restaurant, Chaolelou.
Lu Cheng and Tang Shi were discussing current affairs, with Xiao Yuxue accompanying them. The Beast Incarnation Palace and the Gu God Sect united to fight against the Dongyang Orthodox Sect. Therefore, Xiao Yuxue also had a good impression of the monks of the Gu God Sect. Get along well.
"Brother Tang, please be more careful when you go back this time. It is said that Yinshan Master's methods are quite fierce. This matter is not your fault."
"Oh, Brother Lu, you are too worried. Yes, as a brother, I will serve him after all. The old man has worked hard for many years without any merit. "
Lu Cheng and Tang Shi have known each other since they were young. If Tang Shi, who was in the foundation-building realm, had not been determined to make friends, it would not have been so easy for Lu Cheng and the Chen family brothers to secure their hearts. View.
Over the years, both parties have helped each other, and their friendship has become increasingly deeper. Therefore, Lu Cheng had previously obtained two Jade Void Evolution Dao Fruits, and he really wanted to exchange them for a secret treasure to help Tang Shi survive the tribulation. Distress.
But this matter was not done, and Gu Qinghong did not give this face.
A farewell banquet for all guests to enjoy.
Just before Tang Shi left, Lu Cheng walked up and handed him a small cloth bag.
It is full of ancient blood mosquitoes that have been captured with the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu from Jiuli Ding these days. These blood mosquitoes are now injected with trace amounts of toxins and cannot move, but as time goes by , it will naturally return to its ferocious nature.
"This is a blood mosquito? No, it is, this is"
Tang Shi also raised some blood mosquitoes, but the quality of the ones he raised was very different from the ones Lu Cheng gave him.
If you want to truly inherit the Taoist tradition of Yinshan Master, the practitioner must have an ancient strange insect-level spiritual Gu as his natal Gu. Although Tang Shi's Thousand-winged Flying Centipede is good, it is still inferior. add This time, Tianluo Sect An Changjun figured it out, so he might as well just take advantage of the situation and change his natal Gu. However, Tang Shi no longer had any better Gu than the Thousand-Winged Flying Centipede. Now that he had obtained Lu Cheng's Ancient Blood Mosquito, he was overjoyed. .
"Brother Tang is loyal to Master Yinshan. I know it. It's just a small stick that can be used by a big stick. Brother, please don't be confused and trap Master into injustice. If you have time, why not go to the Heavenly Palace of Ten Thousand Beasts to meet Brother Xiao?" Let’s get together for a few days and wait until the real person changes his mind.”
“I understand, Lao Lu, you may not be too serious.”
If it were other precious spiritual objects, Tang Shi could still refuse, but with the ancient blood mosquito in his hand, a spiritual Gu that was related to his own path, Tang Shi had no room to refuse.
After the two sides exchanged a few more words, clouds formed under Tang Shi's feet and flew away.
When Lu Cheng was talking to Tang Shi just now, Xiao Yuxue just watched from a distance and did not get close. The little girl only came over after Tang Shi flew away.
"Senior Brother Lu, you, Brother Tang, have snake eyes in terms of physiognomy. My father said that people with this kind of appearance are docile on the surface, but at critical moments, they will reveal their true nature to achieve great goals. The end justifies the means. Senior brother, you have a loyal nature. It is okay to have friendship with him, but It is essential to be on guard against others.”
“I have known Brother Tang for many years, and I believe that as long as the interests are not too important, Brother Tang will not easily abandon our friendship. If we force him to be in a dilemma, he will not. I did something wrong.”
Lu Cheng would never give Tang Shi the opportunity to gain huge benefits by betraying himself. In this way, the friendship between the two parties could last forever.
Different friends have different ways of communicating. As a human being, you should not let friends who exchange interests have to bear the burden of doing things at your own expense. There is something wrong with doing that.
"Brother Lu, I just received the summons talisman, saying that my sister's competition is about to start. Let's go together."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Lu Cheng was also looking forward to what the sword fight between the most outstanding Ningsha and Liangang realm monks in the Tongxuan world would be like.
Because of Huang Longzi's arrangement, the forces of Gongbeizong, the Incarnation of Ten Thousand Beasts, rarely entered the Central Plains. They mostly accumulated strength and strengthened their control in the Western Region headquarters.
So this time, only the Xiao family sisters and ninth disciple Lu Cheng came to the Eight Scenery Dharma Assembly, and the other disciples did not come.
The Xiao sisters themselves have a certain ability to protect themselves. Coupled with the double deterrence of Huang Longzi and Ba Jingjing, at this time, the number of individuals and forces who dare to attack the three of them is almost equal to No, safety is guaranteed.
Yingyuan Mountain, a Taoist temple in the mountain.
After Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue handed over the invitations, the Taoist boy with eight views led them to the back mountain and passed through a waterfall.
Lu Cheng faintly felt an invisible ripple sweeping past, and then the two of them arrived at another place.
On the top of thousands of mountains, among the giant mountains, the silvery white clouds roll and surge with the agitation of the wind, just like running through the current.
Lu Cheng glanced around and found that the world had changed.
"Was it the teleportation circle just now? This is the real eight landscapes!"
"Two distinguished guests, please come this way."
Lu Cheng remained calm on the surface, but there was already a huge stir in his heart. Under the guidance of the Taoist boy, after passing the Purple Jade Stone Bridge and the Nine-Hong Sea of Clouds, Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue finally arrived at the location of the Eight Views Dharma Assembly.
Between the mountain shapes, I saw a group of monks who looked like immortals, sitting on the stone wall, enjoying spiritual tea and spiritual fruits, while watching the monks in the realm of Ningsha and Refining Gang, fighting with each other in sword and sword fighting. .
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
A handsome man wearing a green robe rubbed his hands together, and there were actually a series of thunder and fire spells intersecting in the void. Stacked out.
The person he was fighting with was a demon cultivator. Although his cultivation and magic power were not weaker than his, he could not withstand the spell that combined thunder and fire. After casting spells repeatedly, he was finally hit by a thunderbolt from the man in green robe. , half of his body was charred and fell down, defeated.
"Junior brother Lu, Yuxue, come here."
At this time, Xiao Yuhong also paid attention to Lu Cheng and Xiao Yuxue, and sent a spiritual message to them to come over and sit together. sit.
