Chapter 2664 Picking up leaks (1)
Being stared at by Brother Yan with expectant eyes, Yan Zhen understood what he meant and felt guilty. He was not good at appraising ancient times either.
Ask him to appraise the quality of the magic weapon, he will at least know something about it, and ask him to appraise the ancients, this is just trying to catch a duck on the shelf.
"I don't see anything special about it. It looks like a sacrificial object used in water or mountain rituals in some areas."
Yan Zhen smiled awkwardly, told the truth, and asked the stall owner: "Since it is an ancestral treasure, why are you willing to sell it?"
He really couldn't tell him directly that the incense burner used in the Yunlan Spirit Realm to burn incense or worship the gods of heaven and earth has always had an unwritten rule - it can have three legs or four legs, but the incense burner must have the image of the ancient auspicious beast Suanni.
However, the incense burner used as a burial object must not be painted with images of the auspicious animal Suan Ni.
The reason for this is that in ancient times, there were demon immortals who cultivated to the golden immortal level in Suanni. They died trying to save the world. In order to show their respect and gratitude to the mythical beasts, there was an unwritten rule later.
There is no image of a mythical beast on the incense burner, so its origin is questionable.
"They are all poor." The stall owner said helplessly: "My spiritual roots are low, and I can reach the level of foundation building. My son's spiritual roots are also poor. Fortunately, I have a grandson with good spiritual roots, and the three spirits of gold, fire, and earth. The root and root value are both over 50%, so it is easy to cultivate, and there may be hope for golden elixir.
No, my little grandson has reached the final stage of Qi refining and needs to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill to get ready.
The family doesn't have much knowledge. I went out hunting a few months ago to save up some spiritual stones to buy a foundation-building pill for my grandson. However, I didn't catch the prey, almost broke my body, and lost my storage bag.
Now he had to take care of his grandson's Foundation Building Pill and buy a new storage bag, both of which required spirit stones. He had no choice but to make this family heirloom. ”
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is not expensive either. A top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill costs 2,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, a medium-grade Pill costs 1,500 lower-grade Spiritual Stones, and a lower-grade Pill costs 1,000 Spiritual Stones.
Storage bags are not too expensive. A storage bag that is a hundred feet wide only costs 30,000 spirit stones, and a bag that is ten feet wide only costs 2,000 spirit stones. How can it be reduced to selling ancestral treasures. ”
Yan Zhen leisurely quoted the price of the storage bag and the Foundation Establishment Pill. It was obvious that he would sell the ancestral treasure just for these spiritual stones. The ancestral treasure contained too much water.
The stall owner explained with a wry smile: "It is not easy for casual cultivators to earn spiritual stones, and foundation building is the most important step in a monk's career. I don't dare to be careless. I have to prepare at least three or two pills before I can rest assured. Naturally, I need to raise more spiritual stones." Stone.
In my family, only one of my sons and I are monks. It is quite difficult to support the seven or eight younger members of the family who have spiritual roots. ”
Mr. Xuan blinked; "So, how much does this heirloom of yours cost?"
"Fellow Taoist, I really want a thousand low-grade spiritual stones." The stall owner gritted his teeth and quoted a price.
Young Master Xuan Yan: "..." Oh my god, after all this fuss, the ancestral treasure is sold for a thousand spiritual stones?
The two of them thought it would cost one hundred and eighty thousand, but they were shocked!
Visual inspection revealed that the so-called heirlooms contained too much water.
The fat owner of the neighboring stall looked shocked: "Yesterday you said you wanted 10,000 spiritual stones."
Being exposed, the stall owner's face flushed red, his head sullen, and he didn't say anything back.
Le Yun listened for a long time, took the incense burner from Young Master Yan, turned it around, looked at the inside, looked at the location of the rust, and smelled the smell: "This incense burner was buried in the mud with water for a long time. The time must be at least tens of thousands of years. It is most likely that it is a water sacrifice or a burial object.”
The stall owner's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes stared like bells.
"Could it be that little loli was right?" Xuan muttered when he saw the stall owner's expression was wrong.
Talking about her guess, Le Yun continued: "In theory, the material of this incense burner is also ordinary copper, which is really not worth the price. However, the mud it is stained with has the smell of some kind of spiritual plant.
And this fairy happened to be looking for this kind of spiritual plant. I bought this incense burner. In exchange, I asked the Taoist friend to tell the truth where the incense burner was dug, and I bought it as a piece of news.
What do you think, fellow Taoist? ”
The stall owner originally thought that the ancestral treasure was turned into a sacrificial object and was smashed into his hands, but unexpectedly, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
Le Yun said the truth, handed a medium-grade spiritual stone to the stall owner, and waited for the stall owner to fulfill his promise.
The stall owner did not hide anything: "This incense burner was obtained by one of my ancestors when he was hired by a direct son of a cultivating immortal family to capture spiritual beasts. It was located on the outskirts of the Baiyao Mountains, approximately southeast of the continent called Zizhou today. Picked up from an island five thousand miles away.
It's been so long that I don't know which island I picked it up on or what the characteristics of the island are.
My family's ancestral home is in what is now Zizhou. Later, we moved to the Northern Continent and the ancestor who picked up the incense burner was a golden elixir. ”
"Hey, your family really comes from Zizhou?" The fat stall owners at the neighboring stalls were extremely surprised. They thought someone said that the incense burner was obtained from the outside of the Baiyao Mountains.
The stall owner said "hmm".
"I believe you are telling the truth. The mud on the incense burner is sea salt mud.
It wouldn't be surprising if it was picked up outside the Hundred Demons Mountain Range. During the changes in the Hundred Demons Mountain Range, countless lives were killed and injured. It would also happen if humans or beasts held water rituals and threw incense burners into the sea. Le Yun threw the incense burner into her storage container: "The deal is done, don't worry, I won't go back on it."
Now that I know the approximate location, I will go to the Zizhou in the southern continent to look for it. Whether I can find the spiritual plant or not is my own business. ”
"Thank you, Fairy, for your understanding." The stall owner thanked him gratefully. He immediately cleaned up the stall and got a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. It was the best way to buy enough spiritual stones for his grandson to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Le Yun got what she wanted. She was neither happy nor sad, and continued to shop for goods at other stalls.
The stall owner who sold his ancestral treasures neatly packed up his stall, carried the package, spread his legs and ran at full speed. In a blink of an eye, he left Mortal Square and went into other streets to blend in with the crowd.
In view of the generosity of a certain nun, the stall owners nearby wished that she would fall in love with the items they were selling. Unfortunately, their luck was not as good as that of the one selling heirloom treasures.
On the other hand, those stall owners who have spiritual rice are very happy. Basically, as long as the spiritual rice in their hands is not inferior, they will sell it.
The little loli was very patient and swept away the spiritual rice at the Mortal Square stall, and also found out a lot of information about the spiritual rice.
Wanghaicheng has a mild climate, and Lingmi is harvested three or twice a year. The yield is very high, and most of it is purchased by merchants and sold inland.
This season, spiritual rice has begun to be harvested one after another, and a large amount of spiritual rice will be on the market soon.
Classmate Le Xiao learned about inside information. After shopping one street, he went to other streets. He rarely bought anything. He then walked two streets and looked for an inn to stay.
Yan Zhen's family has a family station in Wanghai City, and he doesn't stay in an inn.
The little Loli only ordered an upper room, handed over the spirit stones in advance, and prepared to retreat and continue to refine storage containers. Most of the objects and storage bags she had refined before were used to contain the spiritual marrow stones.
The number of spiritual marrow stones dug up in the quasi-artifact secret place was too large. Some of them were loaded in storage containers, and some were still piled in and around the square of the nine-story altar of the divine tree in the star core space.
I went on a shopping spree at the harbor a few days ago and used a lot of storage bags.
Little Loli purchased a lot of spiritual ore for refining storage containers at the seaport, and also traded moonlight jade for refining spirit beast bags from a ship owner.
Yan Zhen knew the inn and room number where the little fairy lived. He also told him where the Yan family was stationed and the name of the steward. If the little fairy wanted to see him for something, he could go to the Yan family station to find someone.
Brother Yan went to his own trading house, and Young Master Yan followed Little Loli into the guest room.
The upper room of the inn is still worthy of the spiritual stones collected. It is thirty square meters wide and has an independent small array. After you check in, you can turn on the array and it will become its own boundary, shielding it from prying eyes.
Le Yun took out another formation disk, opened it and placed it in the guest room as a second layer of defense. Then she took out her usual Ruyi House and put it aside. She used another Ruyi House as a retreat place.
In this way, when she was refining weapons in seclusion, Young Master Xuan and Handsome Yan could come and go freely without worrying about affecting her.
The little fairy was going into seclusion, so she could not be disturbed. Teng Guo got out of the little fairy's sleeve and climbed into the sleeve of the monk Xuan of Shuimu Linggen and stayed there.
Calabash Baby is of the wood type, and he is also close to Young Master Xuan. Young Young Master Yan has the Golden Thunder Spiritual Root. Both spiritual roots are not compatible with his spiritual roots, so he is not attached to Young Master Yan.
Little Loli is expected to stay in Wanghai City for three months. Young Master Xuan Shaoyan is quite excited and is ready to have a good rest and find a job to earn spiritual stones tomorrow.
Yan Zhen left the inn and went to the Yan family's station in Haiwang City.
The Yan family has its own caravan, and has its own stations in several monster king cities in the east and west. Wanghai City is an important seaport, so the trading hall is naturally indispensable.
The entrance of the Yan family's trading house is in the southwest area of Haiwang City near the south gate. Yan Zhenzhen flew for two quarters of an hour to arrive. He did not go to the trading hall and went straight to the house of the head of the trading company in Wanghai City.
The person in charge was also a member of the Yan family and was not at home, but the servants and housekeepers of the Yan family recognized Mr. Zhen of the Yan family and immediately invited Mr. Zhen into the house and sent him to the study, and then sent someone to the hall to inform Mr. Yan.
When Manager Yan heard that Young Master Zhen had returned to Wanghai City, he flew back from the business hall and rushed into the study. He was surprised and happy to see the Young Master sitting in the study, spreading out paper and studying ink.
"Master Zhen, you are back!"
Manager Yan, who had a goatee beard, bowed and saluted with tears in his eyes: "Old slave, please give my regards to the young master!"
"You don't have to be polite. You have always been my grandfather's old man, so you don't need to be called a slave." Yan Zhen stood up, helped the old steward, and said with a smile: "Look at you, a big man, how can you shed tears like a girl?" .”
Manager Yan wiped away tears, his voice still a little unsteady: "After the young master went to sea, my subordinates have been paying attention to the news. Later, I heard that there was a big storm on the sea that could not be seen in ten thousand years. Many casual cultivators and expedition teams were in the storm. Lost a trace in
Since then, there has been no news about the young master, and his subordinates sent news back to my family. The family went to Saga Mountain and saw that the young master’s soul lamp was still alive, so they were reluctantly relieved.
After that, there was still no news from the young master, and the transmitter could not be contacted. The trading company hired several teams to search for the young master at sea, but no trace of the young master was found.
More than thirty years later, the young master was finally back. His subordinates were so happy that they cried with joy. ”
