Chapter 374: Heifang City, the Insect Bookstore, endless treasures (please subscribe!)
"Hu..."
After practicing swords for a hundred days in the Golden Light Cave of Canglong Mountain, Lu Cheng sat on the platform and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
Beside him, the five-element flying sword flew in the sky, and the evil and fire nature appeared in the spiritual light.
In fact, it is never easy to refine the three and sixth-level magic weapons into one. Even if a skilled weapon refiner can do it, it is definitely not a few years of hard work. Lu Cheng's Samadhi True Fire power has completely surpassed the realm that the sixth-level magic fire should have.
Many cultivators’ natal supernatural powers and magical powers are easy to use when practicing qi and building foundations, but they are not easy to use when they are in the realm of purple palace and golden elixir.
It doesn't even coincide with my later cultivation route, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Because some monks choose to gather extremely powerful killing magical powers in qi training and foundation building, deal with disasters, seek to gain the upper hand in the fight with monks, obtain cultivation resources, and replenish their practice.
But these supernatural powers are of no value in the subsequent cultivation of Taoism and are abandoned by the monks themselves.
There are also disciples of major sects who gather the most potential of magical powers, and then they were directly killed by the former cultivator, without waiting for the day to realize their potential.
Lu Cheng's natal magical powers: practicing Qi Qi and Sea, building base fire, condensing evil fire, and heavenly fire in the golden elixir realm, and combining the three fires in the golden elixir realm, to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire magical power that is infinite, regardless of killing power and cultivation potential.
This is of course the best foundation for Taoism, but most monks in the world cannot do this.
If Lu Cheng did not get blood nerves or practiced Taoist techniques such as the Taoist transformation and ascension technique during the journey of cultivation, he would probably not have the blood and fire of his natal life, and there would be no subsequent Taoist laws.
The practice of the Great Five Elements Earth Extreme True Fire that was condensed before will not have much significance for practice. It is useful but not very useful, and it is nothing.
"Refining Samadhi Returns to True Fire, and realizing Vajra Indestructible Body." Lu Cheng knew that he was still receiving the profound benefits of the early stage of practicing Taoism.
In fact, this is also the idea of orthodox Taoism in cultivation: lay a solid foundation, do not be anxious or slow. The road to practicing Taoism is a long and long journey. It is not fast for a while. The more you practice, the more stable you become. The faster you practice, the longer you practice, the longer you will be, the more you will be, the longer you will be.
After taking a little breath, the floating messenger talisman at the entrance of the cave flashed with a faint blue light, which was particularly eye-catching.
The Taoist Lu Cheng stretched out his hand and the talisman flew into his palm and injected magic power into it. Gu Yunge's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Fellow Daoist Lu, there is a good thing coming. If you are interested, you will meet the emperor at the 14th of July."
"What good thing is it?"
Lu Cheng calculated the time by counting his fingers and found that there were still a few days to prepare, so he was not in a hurry. He opened his mouth and absorbed the Five Elements Flying Sword and slowly nourished it.
He was not too worried that Gu Yunge would harm him, because based on various verifications during this period, Gu Yunge had indeed investigated the true spirit ice phoenix for a long time.
The many things Feng Dong said were fine if he didn't verify them, but it would be difficult to hide clues if he sent someone to verify them.
Gu Yunge believes that he is a true disciple of the Yuanshen Sect. This period is the time to transfer his own interests, so he said it is a good thing, so it is very likely that it is a good thing.
When the fourteenth son of July was in the forefront, Lu Cheng took off his merits and returned to the Dharma for a little preparation, and stepped out of the cave.
Walking in the moonlight, clouds emerge from his feet. Under his magic power, the clouds fly up and soar into the sky like a divine horse with wings on his back.
Along the way, Lu Cheng looked down at the earth under his feet, and his thoughts changed.
Not long after, Lu Cheng came to the hidden secret residence written on Gu Yunge's message talisman.
It was a magnificent mansion with tall gates and various exquisite patterns carved on it. There were auspicious beasts soaring and fairy grass swaying, demonstrating the extraordinary identity of the owner of the mansion.
As soon as Lu Cheng pressed the clouds, Gu Yunge came out.
Today, Gu Yunge was wearing a blue robe, with a bunch of hair tied up, a strong face, and a temperament of enlightenment and true cultivation.
He saw Lu Cheng, and a smile appeared on his face, holding the Taoist scriptures and said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, he is indeed a punctual person."
Lu Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied, "Brother Yunge invites you, how can I delay it? I wonder what the important thing is about my brother's platform?"
Gu Yunge looked at the starlight in the sky, then lowered his voice and said, "This matter is hidden, Fellow Daoist Lu will know it will come with me."
After that, Gu Yunge took the Taoist Lu Cheng into the mansion, and then came to the back garden of the mansion. When he came to a rockery, Gu Yunge slowly pressed a stone, revealing a secret door.
Lu Cheng could see that this mechanism was extremely rough. With Gu Yunge's magical body cultivation, his face changed slightly. There was no clever mechanism design at all, and it was purely a powerful door to open.
But in this way, there is no need to worry about ordinary servants, or even monks accidentally discovering the secret here. Sometimes, the more exquisite the design, the more wrong it is.
The two of them entered the rockery secret door together. They walked along a quiet path, as if they were slow and fast, so they came to a valley soon.
The valley was filled with clouds and mist. Gu Yunge stopped in front of a huge rock, then made seals with both hands, muttering words in his mouth.
After a stone wall, there seemed to be a magic light flowing for a moment, another huge rock slowly moved, revealing a hole.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, let's continue to enter from here and we will arrive soon." Gu Yunge turned his head and said, taking the lead in walking into the entrance of the cave.
Although Lu Cheng was confused, he still walked in.
"What kind of blessing is it? It's worth the trouble of fellow Taoists?"
"You will know soon, and you will definitely feel that this trip is worth it."
"Oh, then I'll wait and see."
The tunnel inside the cave was dark and damp, and there was a smell of rottenness.
Lu Cheng circulated his magic power, forming a faint halo around his body to isolate this unpleasant scent.
He could feel that the two of them were probably walking underground.
This time, the two of them walked in the tunnel for a long time and finally saw a ray of light.
When walking out of the cave entrance, Lu Cheng found himself in a strange place.
This place seems to be the underground of Haiyuan City, surrounded by intricate tunnels, and the walls are inlaid with gems emitting faint light, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.
Before coming out, Gu Yunge handed Lu Cheng a ghost face and a black robe. It was worn on his body to cover up others' spiritual sense to explore.
"Basically, every monk gathers, there will be such a place. This is the underground black market in Haiyuan City. People in some places call this kind of place a ghost market or a secret store, which actually means the same."
This underground black market is a small gathering circle, surrounded by a mysterious restriction to prevent outsiders from spying.
In the market, everyone has a ghost face. The ghost faces have different styles, some are hideous and terrifying, and some are mysterious, making it impossible for people to see their true faces clearly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you can go here first. Next we will go to the Nascent Soul Cultivator's Market Fair, but it is indeed easier to choose some useful things here, even for us."
The overall atmosphere in the Black Market was very depressing, and people whispered to trade some rare spiritual objects and magic weapons that were explicitly prohibited by the laws of Haiyuan City.
Gu Yunge left for the time being, let Lu Cheng go around here alone.
While walking, Lu Cheng saw a spiritual bead emitting a faint purple light on a stall. The spiritual bead seemed to contain a small world, mysterious and beautiful.
On the next moment, a red fire appeared in Lu Cheng's eyes, and he saw a resentful aura entangled on the faint purple spirit bead, as if there were white bones and skeletons flying around. "Is this Dao Master a little interested in this treasure? This is the soul-binding bead, which is obtained by us exploring the ancient demon cultivator's cave. What does those demon cubs have to do with us? Buying this treasure and refining it into our own natal magic weapon can greatly increase the spirituality and power of the magic weapon."
"No interest." Lu Cheng has a Red King of the Tang Dynasty who believes in the soul reincarnation, and has no interest in purchasing this treasure. Although the Reincarnation Banner is a type of Ten Thousand Soul Banner, this soul-bound bead can indeed increase the power and spirituality of the Reincarnation Banner to a certain extent.
But such things involvement are very complicated. If Lu Cheng buys this treasure, it will be considered to have cause and effect. It is a merit to reliance on the undead, but if there is a resentful soul and soul, it will never be saved, which is also troublesome to a certain extent.
You can't let them go, because they will almost certainly kill people and kill people. At that time, they will be considered a sin on you, but they will always suppress and consume magic and divine power. Many ancient god powers just cannot handle this well, and accumulate too many resentful souls that cannot be saved, which eventually led to the fall of the Kingdom of God and turned into a ghost prison and demon prison, and are still drifting in some cracks in space.
After walking dozens of steps, Lu Cheng found a broken spear that exuded a fierce aura at a stall not far away. The spear tip of the broken spear was engraved with ancient talismans, and the talismans flashed with dark red light, which seemed to be unique. "It should be an item like Wu Zhuyansheng. This lineage has long been cut off in the immortal cultivation world. There are even such things here?"
The ancient witch practice method was cut off earlier than the Shendao practice method, because it is said that the deeper the research of many powerful witch curse techniques, the more it is, not only does not increase the life spanking, but will not deny that it has historical significance, but it is not favored by the modern immortal cultivation world.
After wandering around the cup of tea, Lu Cheng found another old book stall surrounded by many people. When he went to look up, he found that there were actually many ancient Taoist books, and the first few pages could be read. If there was no way to resolve the mantra, it would be blank.
Lu Cheng found the insect scriptures he had been thinking about for a long time in this book stall, and there were one to six books.
It happened that someone was trading. After reading it, Lu Cheng asked, "The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥First⊥! "We also collect the merits of hunting demons here?" "We have all the merits of hunting demons, and the Taoist scriptures here are only one-fifths or even lower." The owner of the book stall replied with a hiss.
"Haha, the books here of Chen Cutezi are cheap, but you have to learn to identify them yourself. Many classics here are missing pages or trivial matters. Some of them are deliberately mixed with miscellaneous pages and randomly practice visualization, but they have brought the extraterritorial demons to themselves."
At this time, a ghost-faced man in black robe next to the book stall said.
"I can't stop reading your mouth in vain? How many people have I helped climb up these books? I am already in a high position and still can't bear to spend some spirit stones. It can be said that there is no way to be good or bad, but I can blame anyone."
The stall owner Chen Crookzi was righteous. It seemed that there was a high-level cultivator in Haiyuan City that had already cultivated to the realm of the Nascent Soul. As a result, he attracted evil things that should not have been attracted in a Taoist ritual. Not only did he die, but he even affected the sect.
Because this incident was extremely harmful, Haiyuan City sent someone to investigate and found that the Taoist scriptures that the Zhenjun read had been maliciously tampered with several pages of content.
If you have the opportunity to enter this black market, buy some Taoist scriptures and scriptures at a low price to enhance your own foundation and make up for the foundation of Taoism.
But this person who has practiced to the state of Nascent Soul still does this, and he does not seem to be completely responsible.
At least, although Lu Cheng read and read the "Insect Sutra" on the stall, he did not dare to buy it. The "Insect Sutra" Taoism must be integrated into the five elements poison of his own Taoist system, and it is unacceptable whether it is missing pages, supplements, or confusion. "But some methods of practicing and simplifying immortals and practicing all kinds of arts seem to be able to read more books. Bento is to increase your knowledge."
Lu Cheng stayed in this book stall for a long time and used spirit stones to buy many Taoist books, many of which were high-level Taoist books.
Although after purchasing high-level Taoist books in Haiyuan City, you must enter into a contract and not resell them to others, if you are willing to pay the price, you can still get around it. For example, let a dying person go to buy those Taoist books and then hand them over to the underground black market for copying.
When the backlash falls, everyone dies. What is the significance of those spiritual contract treaties?
In the end, Lu Cheng even bought the "Insect Sutra" from one to six parts, and bought the pirated version, and it would be fine if there were a few pages less. If there were really a few more pages, those who dared to add them to this level of Taoist sutra would be considered not to be ordinary, and they might not lose.
Just as Lu Cheng kept looking through these classics, a spiritual talisman flew over and turned around. Lu Cheng reached out to take it, but it was a spiritual talisman that Gu Yunge sent to Lu Cheng.
"I'll buy all these and give me half the price."
"Master Dao, I'm so cheaper, how can I get this price..."
Because Lu Cheng bought enough books, although Chen Crooker was yelling that he was losing money, he actually laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.
What I fear most in their business is that they are hunted and hunted by the Haiyuan City Law Enforcement Team. In terms of profit, it is actually profitable if they sell.
After buying these Taoist books, Lu Cheng followed the talisman to the core of the market.
The number of ghost-faced people here has decreased significantly, and Lu Cheng has to pass through a shop under the guidance of the talisman, where a middle-aged beautiful woman is waiting to welcome Lu Cheng.
"Please follow me."
This underground black market itself is already secret enough, and the place where Gu Yunge and his friends trade is even more secret.
The middle-aged beautiful woman came to a corner of the room and stretched out her hand and pressed it on the bookshelf.
A flash of magic light on your hands, and the bookshelf in front of you slowly opened to both sides. The middle-aged beautiful woman greeted Lu Cheng and walked in first.
This is an iron cage that closes and settles quickly after Lucheng enters.
After a while, the iron cage opened again, and there was a black room inside. There was only a ray of light in the room, and a chair was placed in the center.
"Please give me some advice, I can only come here with you. After about a cup of tea, the trade fair will begin."
Lu Cheng walked into the house without any surprise when he heard this, his spiritual consciousness projected from all directions and found that it was a grotto.
He sat on the chair, closed his eyes and calmed down his mind, and then heard the rumbling sound, but the stone wall in front of him slowly rose, and there were twelve cultivators who were like himself, with deep magic power like him.
Everyone's eyes and temperament are quite good.
"You must have been impatient with waiting, so this trade fair will begin directly."
There was also a ghost-faced man among the thirteen ghost-faced true kings in black robe. However, after saying this, he retreated back to the darkness and quickly disappeared.
There is a great profit to hold this high-level monk trade fair. Not to mention the rest, just the thirteen Yuanying True Lords present can shake the stability of the entire Haiyuan City. They each need, get to know, and even trade with each other. The managers of the Heifang City do not even need to draw any commissions, as long as they are the brokers, they can gain huge benefits.
Of course, it is not easy to join this circle if there is no channel. Gu Yunge comes forward to guarantee Lu Cheng and join.
This itself is a kind of show of goodwill, a transfer of interests, ensuring that he is willing to do his best in the mission of hunting the true spirit ice phoenix.
"This treasure is Changchun Heart Sutra, the sixth-level exercise, which is central and peaceful in nature and is most beneficial to health preservation. Changchun Gong is a very common wood-moving exercise, but it is rare to deduce it to the sixth-level exercise. This exercise is also an unexpected gain, but it is inconsistent with my Taoist tradition. Whoever is willing to buy it and comprehend and practice can have an extra life span of two or three hundred years."
A green light flashed in front of Lu Cheng's eyes, and a green jade slip appeared, but it was thrown by a ghost-faced man opposite him.
Since it was taken out for auction, it would naturally not be completely unavailable for people to read and comprehend. The ghost-faced man again shot out a ray of light and hit the jade slip, causing the spiritual light to spread and texts to emerge.
It is indeed a subtle and profound meaning, and it is extremely exquisite.
But such a martial art is probably extremely unfavorable to the fighting, so the cultivator who created this martial arts will be taken away by this person's inheritance.
There is no monk who doesn't want to extend his life. Therefore, the auction of this Changchun Heart Sutra is quite fierce. Lu Cheng is only over 400 years old, so of course he has no interest in it. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment before he opened his eyes again after the competition for this Taoist book ended.
The second monk raised his hand and shot out a yellow light.
Lu Cheng opened his eyes and saw that it was a spiritual ape puppet, appearing vividly like a living creature. After falling into the field, he scratched his ears and looked around. There was a faint red light flashing in his eyes.
"A mid-grade puppet with seven sixth-level spells, adapts to various environments and can assist in fighting and block enemies..."
