Yuan Ming used the roots of the immortal tree to clearly see the situation in the spiritual veins. He saw that there was no one in the bronze square pool, and there seemed to be no guards around. He thought several times in his mind, but finally couldn't help it, and probed towards the spiritual veins.
.
But in the next moment, the roots of the undead tree that had just been explored seemed to have hit a steel wall and were stopped in place. A blurry light yellow mist floated out near the spiritual veins, blocking it just in place.
Before it could reach the roots of the immortal tree, it quickly dissipated after blocking it back.
This restriction... Yuan Ming frowned slightly, activated his roots again, and used the power of breaking through the air.
However, the space near the spiritual vein was as solid as an iron block. No matter how Yuan Ming urged it, he could not open a path to allow the roots to pass through the restriction and penetrate deep into the spiritual vein.
Yuan Ming tried several more times without giving up, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly and retract the roots.
This was the first time he encountered that even the roots of the immortal tree could not break through the travel restrictions. He did not know if the situation would change if he used the Heaven-Bearing Magic Pillar. However, once there is a loophole in such a high-level restriction, it will inevitably
As everyone knows, this goes against Yuan Ming's idea of secretly stealing the power of the sun, so let's make a plan from Chang.
Yuan Ming sighed in his heart, sat down cross-legged again, and silently began to practice.
Boy, at midnight tomorrow, we will go to Fangshi in the east of Baidi City. At this moment, Kong's voice suddenly sounded.
Did the senior find any traces of treasure again? Yuan Ming asked quickly.
As soon as I left, I realized that I didn't say much and fell silent again.
The next day, at the beginning of Chen hour.
Yuan Ming left Wulu Cave alone, and followed Kong's instructions to Fangshi, located east of Baidi City.
Since it was still early, there were not many people setting up stalls in the market, so Yuan Ming wandered aimlessly, even passing several stalls, but what he saw were all inferior utensils.
Senior Kong, what exactly are you looking for when you ask me to come here? Yuan Ming couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Walking further east, at the innermost stall on the left, the stall owner was wearing animal skins. Kong still didn't say anything clearly, he just gave instructions.
Yuan Ming walked forward in confusion, and soon saw the stall Kong mentioned.
Surprisingly, the stall owner wearing animal skins seemed to have just arrived and was taking out the items for sale one by one.
Yuan Ming pretended not to care and wandered around, but his consciousness was always shrouded in the stall, carefully inspecting each product.
This is snow jade! When the stall owner took out a piece of light white jade that was crystal clear and exuded gusts of cold air, Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. Fellow Taoist, how can I sell this jade? He immediately stepped forward and asked for the price.
.
Five thousand spirit stones are worth the price, so don’t be too expensive. After all, this is me... The strong man in animal skin said.
After buying it, before he could finish his words, Yuan Ming threw out the storage bag with the spirit stones, took the jade, turned around and left.
The strong man in animal skin subconsciously caught the storage bag and quickly counted it to confirm that the number was correct. He raised his head and wanted to say something, but could only look at Yuan Ming's retreating figure. This... am I selling cheaply?
?
He thought with some annoyance, wanting to catch up and get the things back from Yuan Ming, but for some reason, whenever he had this thought, he would always feel an indescribable palpitation in his heart. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided
After cursing for a few times, he sat back down depressedly, complaining only that he had poor eyesight and did not recognize real treasures.
On the other side, Yuan Ming, who bought the jade, was in a particularly good mood.
Senior Kong, your detection ability is terrible. You are always the first to know where there are treasures! If you are free in the future, why not help me find more treasures? I will also find a way to give you more wish pills.
I will never let your attack go in vain, Yuan Ming sighed, and then had other thoughts.
You should stop making such idle ideas. Every time I use my magical power to find objects, it consumes a lot of money. If it were not to fulfill my promise, I would not do it easily. Kong mercilessly extinguished Yuan Ming's illusions.
Yuan Ming also knew that it was not easy to persuade an existence of Kong's level. Now he could only wait until he also wanted something, and then try to bargain.
After this episode, Yuan Ming did not return immediately, but wandered around the market, which could be regarded as understanding the style of Baidi City from the side.
Unknowingly, Yuan Ming came outside a unique pavilion that resembled an eagle spreading its wings.
He looked up and saw the eagle holding a square plaque of nanmu in its beak, with the words "Wanwu Xianxing" written on it.
As a huge chamber of commerce whose business scope covers the entire Izumo world, it is not surprising that there is a branch of Wanhuoxianxing in Baidi City. Judging from the appearance of the store, it seems to be much more luxurious than the branch in Dongjihai.
Yuan Ming thought for a while, then quickly walked in and walked into the store.
Who is the steward here? Yuan Ming casually called a waiter and took out the guest token to show it.
After a while, the waiter saw him and hurriedly invited Yuan Ming into the inner hall, while he went to find the steward.
Haha, I have long heard that our bank has an extraordinary guest, Mr. Chang, and now that I have met him, he is indeed very impressive.
After a while, an old man with a thin body and a Taoist robe holding a floating dust came over with a smile.
Yuan Ming was a little confused when he saw him dressed up.
I am the Marquis Luyuan, and I am here to take charge of the affairs on the order of the head office, the old man in Taoist robes said.
Temporary explanation? But because of the Sky Fire thing? Yuan Ming saw that his body magic power had reached the peak of returning to the void, and he suddenly became convinced.
Wan Taoist friends are aware that since the fire incident has become a big issue and it happened in such a key place as Baidi City, several big shopkeepers are really worried about it, so they first sent me over to check the situation, Hou Luyuan explained.
I see, but I came here today just to buy some things from your place. Since my fellow Taoist has other important matters, I really don’t dare to bother, Yuan Ming said politely.
It doesn't matter, Tianhuo hasn't been born yet, and I have nothing to do at the moment. Furthermore, since I am in charge of this place, I must be loyal and fulfill my responsibilities. If you have any needs, fellow Taoist, just ask me, and I will send someone to find them right now. But Hou Luyuan
road.
When Yuan Ming heard this, he was not polite to him and even reported a lot of things he needed. In addition to the high-level spiritual wood he had been buying, it was the Nine Netherworld Iron and the remaining spiritual materials needed to refine the Moon God Ring.
These spiritual materials requested by fellow Taoist Wan are quite precious. There is not much stock in the store and it will take some time to search. Hou Luyuan said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, just give it to me after you collect it all. Yuan Ming has already collected these things in several cities and knows that it will take time.
Thank you for your understanding, Fellow Daoist Wan. Speaking of high-level spiritual trees, I have a piece of spiritual wood that I don’t know the details of. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wan needs it? Hou Luyuan looked happy, but then seemed to feel embarrassed.
, said.
Oh, can you let me have a look first? Yuan Ming nodded.
Hou Luyuan waved his right hand, and a jade box about a foot tall and three feet tall appeared on the table.
As he gently opened the lid of the jade box, a faint ancient aura hit his face. Yuan Ming looked intently. Lying in the wooden box was a bowl-thick, two-foot-long bamboo with an old and rough appearance.
A tree trunk that is between blue and gray in color.
In an instant, Yuan Ming felt the bark of the World Tree in his Dantian begin to stir, pulling up the roots and vines of the immortal tree, desperately trying to break out of the air, wrap around the branch, and swallow it completely.
"This is the World Tree!"
There was no change in the expression on his face, but there was a turmoil in his heart.
Last time he only got a piece of World Tree bark. After cultivating it, he got countless benefits. There is such a thick bark here!
Yuan Ming tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, but there was still no change in the expression on his face. It was as if he had seen this branch for the first time. After looking at it for a moment, he slowly said: I can't see anything interesting, but this tree trunk
It looks quite old and may be useful. I will buy it. I wonder how much your friend is asking for it?
Since fellow Taoist likes it, the price is easy to negotiate. I heard that fellow Taoist sold a batch of high-grade soul refining pills in our bank last time. I should still have some stock on hand. I don’t want more. I only need twenty pills. I will sell this branch to you.
Fellow Taoist, Hou Luyuan covered the jade box and looked like he was selling it at a cheap price.
After hearing this, Yuan Ming took another look at Hou Luyuan. The fragment of the World Tree had a restrained aura and had no other characteristics except that it was slightly ancient. This Hou Luyuan would seize the opportunity and dare to bid such a high price.
Of course, if Hou Luyuan knew that this branch was a fragment of the World Tree, he might not be able to get it, let alone twenty, or even two hundred.
Twenty top-grade soul refining pills? Fellow Daoist Hou is really a lion. Do you know the origin of this tree? Yuan Ming asked with a sneer.
Hou doesn't know the origin of this thing, but I have tried it. No matter whether it is burned with real fire or flooded by lightning, it cannot be shaken at all. The origin must be extraordinary. A trace of embarrassment flashed on Hou Luyuan's face and he said.
It turns out that Fellow Daoist Hou didn't know that you were ruthlessly killing customers. No matter what, Wan was still a guest of Wanwu Xianxing, Mr. Chang, Yuan Ming said lightly.
If fellow Taoist Wan feels that it is too expensive, fifteen high-grade soul refining pills are also enough. Hou Luyuan also feels that the price just asked is too aggressive and takes the initiative to lower the price.
Fifteen soul refining pills are worth at least fifteen million spiritual stones, and you can buy several of the best spiritual treasures. You should keep these for yourself, fellow Taoist Hou, Yuan Ming waved his hand and said.
Those ten high-grade soul refining pills, Hou Luyuan said thoughtfully.
Wan's high-quality soul refining pills have been used up. Let's settle the matter with spiritual stones. Three million spiritual stones, Yuan Ming said.
Don’t have a high-grade soul refining pill? The twelve million spirit stones are indispensable. Hou Luyuan was stunned for a moment and said decisively.
He also noticed that Yuan Ming said he didn't want it, but kept bargaining, obviously wanting to buy it.
Wan's business just now can make you Wanhuo Xianxing a lot of money. If Hou Daoyou really wants to do this business again, give him a sincere price. Yuan Ming saw that his thoughts were guessed, so he simply didn't pretend.
Ten million spiritual stones. Hou Luyuan thought for a moment and said.
Four million spiritual stones.
Nine million.
The two haggled for a while, and finally Yuan Ming reluctantly agreed to the price of eight million spiritual stones.
For the sake of Fellow Daoist Hou, eight million is just eight million. But Wan doesn’t have that much on hand. Why not, I’ll pay five million spirit stones first, and the remaining three million will be paid the next time I pick up the materials.
Qing, what do fellow Daoist Hou think? Yuan Ming thought for a while and asked.
Okay, Hou Luyuan did not hesitate. He nodded immediately and pushed the jade box to Yuan Ming.
This...fellow Taoist is not worried about me defaulting on my debt? Yuan Ming was a little surprised.
I can trust fellow Taoist Wan and the token in his hand, Hou Luyuan said with a smile.
Yuan Ming understood immediately and was not polite to him. After taking out five high-grade soul refining pills, he put the jade box away.
"Do you have a place to live in the city, fellow Taoist Wan? Do you need my help in arranging a cave in Yuanjian District?" Hou Luyuan stood up to see him off, and took the initiative to be polite on the way.
Yuan Ming naturally declined him politely, and then left Wanhuo Xianxing and returned to the cave in Ulu.
After saying hello to Ulu, he entered the secret room in the cave. After placing several restrictions, he couldn't wait to take out the branches of the World Tree and put it in his hands to look at it.
The immortal tree in his Dantian was dancing with its roots and vines almost crazily, as if it wanted to take the initiative to manifest itself and swallow the branches.
Yuan Ming did not let him wait for long. He stared at the branches for a moment, and then transformed into the form of an immortal tree with a thought. Countless roots and vines spread out, completely wrapping the World Tree in his hand.
In an instant, the ancient aura from ancient times overflowed, and Yuan Ming once again saw the hazy scene of the World Tree when it was first born.
At the same time, the World Tree in his hand melted directly and turned into a ball of chaotic spiritual light, which quickly merged into the bark of the World Tree along the immortal tree.
The origin of ten thousand trees in the bark of the World Tree increases at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bark also expands rapidly.
