Yangcheng is still the same as before, no different from when they left.
Busy streets.
Practitioners who come and go.
The open markets on both sides are filled with small merchants and hawkers.
The ring of pavilions and auras are looming, and coupled with this rich aura, it can indeed be called the residence of gods.
Tu Shanjun used sound transmission to enter the secret and asked: "Is there a place where I can rent alchemy fire?"
Upon hearing Tu Shanjun's words, Ding Xie swallowed twice and spit.
Tu Shanjun is very good at drawing talismans and has a good understanding of the formations.
But this alchemy skill is really hard for him to praise.
Even the blasting furnace and the alchemy furnace were cracked.
If they went to a place where someone rented alchemy and alchemy fires, and their alchemy furnace exploded, the two of them couldn't afford such a big loss.
"Yes, yes, but brother Tushan, please listen to your advice."
"To cultivate immortality, you only need to know one. Brother Tushan, your ability to draw talismans is already very strong."
"Practice requires specialization, no one can do everything."
Ding Xie persuaded him earnestly.
They need to accumulate spiritual stones. If they invest too much, the spiritual stones will be consumed quickly.
Although it is easy for Tu Shanjun to earn spirit stones, that is because the Yinhun pill is rare and of high quality. One pill can be sold for thirty-eight spirit stones. Ordinary foundation-building pills cannot be sold at this price.
After decades of saving, Ding Xie had accumulated more than 20,000 yuan of merit, which he could exchange for spiritual stones one-to-one at the sect.
This is because of his strength in the middle stage of foundation building and his diligence in completing tasks.
The worth of an ordinary foundation-building monk is only a few thousand spirit stones in total, not including magic weapons.
There is not enough spiritual energy in the world outside, and most of the spiritual veins are occupied by others. If you want to use your spiritual veins to practice, you have to pay the price.
If you can't keep up with your practice, you need elixirs. Sometimes you have to use spiritual stones as an emergency, or directly absorb the spiritual energy of the spiritual stones.
There are only more than 2,000 spiritual stones in Xiao Wanli's holding talisman.
You can't keep spiritual stones. If you have them, you want to spend them.
Spend spiritual stones to improve your cultivation level, and then use your own cultivation level to earn new spiritual stones. This creates a virtuous cycle and allows your cultivation level to grow steadily.
Ding Xie just encountered difficulties, otherwise he would never have taken out the sect's meritorious deeds. Those things were saved to prepare the pills for him.
Even the most inferior elixir-forming spiritual object costs hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones, and it depends on the sect to fight for a quota, including disciple exemptions and other things, otherwise it will not be possible at all.
Although it was persuasion, Ding Xie did not stop Tushanjun. Instead, he told Tushanjun a few places to rent alchemy rooms.
He also knew that Tu Shanjun's decision would not be changed easily.
Tu Shanjun looked at Ding Xie and smiled calmly: "The furnace exploded because of the fire."
No matter what, it is just refining the elixir that has just entered the level, and it will not cause too much loss.
And the two of them are no longer so poor.
The demon cultivator's soul flag provided a strong evil spirit, which swallowed up Xiao Wanli's soul flag and condensed a large amount of Yin Soul Pills.
The Yinhun Pill, which is equivalent to the peak level of Foundation Establishment, consumes more evil energy because of its higher quality.
Even so, more than 800 spirit stones have been gathered. If the price provided by Zi Shaoqing is doubled, it can be sold for at least more than 60,000 spirit stones. Even if they are divided equally, Ding Xie can get more than 30,000 spirit stones.
As expected, a man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass.
Killing Xiao Wanli, the demon cultivator, would save at least half of the time.
As for those unused ghosts, Ding Xie used the afterlife spell to save them.
As soon as we arrived at the inn, the beautiful monk at the counter was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted her: "Senior, you are finally back."
Tu Shanjun understood clearly, it seemed that Zi Shaoqing had already been here.
Ding Xie was not an idiot and asked, "Has that person come to look for us?"
"Exactly, that senior came here a month ago. The senior said that if the two seniors come back, they must tell them, 'The person has been found.'" The beautiful monk told Tu Shanjun and Ding exactly what he said.
evil.
Tu Shanjun's red pupils hidden under his hood flashed slightly.
I didn't expect Yangcheng to be so efficient. It took more than a month to find it.
Suddenly hearing the news about the Hou family, Tu Shanjun was slightly frightened.
After more than ten years, he finally came to Yangcheng.
The causal relationship is really unclear.
"It's a good thing." Ding Xie said happily. It's always a good thing to find someone.
Immediately, he looked at Tushanjun and saw Tushanjun standing there without saying a word.
"Walk."
Tushanjun turned around and walked towards the door of the inn.
No matter what, now that the person has been found, he must fulfill the promise he made at that time.
As soon as the two of them left the inn, Zi Shaoqing and the maid Rong'er had already arrived.
Seeing Tu Shanjun in black robes, Zi Shaoqing smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, let the little girl wait easily."
Walking quickly, Zi Shaoqing cupped her hands in greeting and said, "I've met two fellow Taoists."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Tu Shanjun and Ding Xie returned the favor.
"Two fellow Taoists, will you follow me to the Falling Heart Pill Pavilion for a chat?"
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
After a while, the two of them followed Zi Shaoqing to the elegant room of Yuexindan Pavilion.
Ding Xie discovered that Zi Shaoqing had never taken his eyes away from Tu Shanjun.
The effect of the elixir is indeed very good, and Ding Xie can even notice the increase in his own cultivation, but he still seems to have underestimated the Yin Hun Dan: 'Is the Yin Hun Dan worthy of the Young Master of the Fallen Heart Dan Pavilion, so interested in it?'
"The person Li Daoyou asked us to look for has been found. This is the returned spiritual stone." Zi Shaoqing took out the talisman and pushed it in front of Tu Shanjun.
Tu Shanjun didn't show any pretense, he directly put away the talisman and asked: "How are they doing?"
Zi Shaoqing, who had been observing Tu Shanjun's reaction, was a little strange.
From what this fellow Daoist Li said, it seemed that he cared about the Hou family very much.
However, she didn't know the specific situation. Since the ghost cultivator surnamed Li was looking for him, she just handed everything to him.
Anyway, we were still in Yangcheng in the end, and there was nothing new.
"We are a family of four, living very hard. These are all the records." Zi Shaoqing handed the envelope containing the information to Tu Shanjun.
Open the envelope and take a look.
Hou Boxu's wife died of illness early, leaving behind a five-year-old child who was raised by his second uncle's family.
‘I’m already seventeen.’ Tu Shanjun sighed in his heart.
If it weren't for the refined soul flag, Hou Boxu might not have died.
But then again, without the pursuit, Zhao Shixian would not have come to Xiaolingzhou in desperation to find a mortal to refine the soul flag.
What is the cause and effect is really sad.
Tushanjun didn't think too much. It's not always good to be entangled in cause and effect, so he just paid it off.
…
"Jing Yan." The sharp-mouthed monkey hurriedly called Hou Jingyan.
"What's wrong Fuda?"
Fuda, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, made a hissing gesture and hurried to the end of the corridor to see if anyone was paying attention to them.
This kind of mineral vein tunnel extends in all directions, and everyone can dig a new one by himself. Later, if you dig too many mines, it will be as cumbersome as a mouse hole.
Those who are familiar with each other will work together to dig together.
This is the case with Hou Jingyan and Fuda.
They have been digging this new tunnel for more than two months. Although the ore produced is not much, it is relatively stable.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Fuda suppressed his excitement and lowered his voice and said: "Jing Yan, there is a dark cave inside, which looks like a door. It is either a former cave or a hollow mine.
.”
"Really?" Hou Jingyan asked quietly.
Whether it's an ancient cave or a hollow mine, the first person to discover it can always make a profit.
"I'm going to block that side, and let's open it up and take a look."
The front was blocked and no one came, so Hou Jingyan and Fuda quickly excavated.
After dozens of hammers went down, the wall suddenly shattered, and then a dark passage appeared in front of the two of them.
Fuda swallowed, fear flashed in his eyes, why did this newly appeared dark hole exude such a heavy cold atmosphere.
"Jing Yan, do you want to get off?"
Hou Jingyan hesitated slightly, then nodded and said: "Go."
Opportunities in this world are reserved for those who are prepared.
If you don't even have the courage to take advantage of opportunities, how can you talk about becoming an immortal?
"Really want to do it?"
"Whether it's an ancient cave or a hollow mine, this is an opportunity for us."
"Fuda, if you are afraid, you can stay here while I go in."
"Who is afraid."
Fuda bravely followed Hou Jingyan into the dark cave.
Deep and cold.
It was very narrow at first, but after walking for about ten breaths, my eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of the two people was a hollow mine.
The surrounding ores are not independent, but are melted into other shapes by something, and finally connected together.
Dots of crystals reflected light, lighting up the originally dark mine.
Although their cultivation level is not high, they can still see at night.
As long as there is a little light, you can see clearly what is in front of you.
"Wow!"
Fuda exclaimed: "Jing Yan, we have found a large vein of minerals."
With such a large mine and so many unknown ores, they would definitely be rich if they could take them all away.
Hou Jingyan touched the wall. It didn't look like it was formed naturally, but rather like someone used great magic to create an underground space.
And from where they came, it can be found that there should be a doorway left by someone.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Hou Jingyan was relatively calm and looked around vigilantly.
The two of them slipped down along the ore exit.
"Jing Yan, there is someone there."
Hou Jingyan took a closer look and said, "It's not a living person."
That area was even darker, and there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center of the mine.
The two boldly stepped forward.
Because of the passage of time, the appearance of the senior in front of him could no longer be clearly seen, and even the Taoist robe on his body had turned into dust.
Sitting down is a square formation, and the surrounding formations and body are completely integrated.
"Jing Yan, we made it, it's the legacy of our seniors."
"Senior, please forgive me, I didn't mean to offend." After Hou Jingyan bowed three times, he started to move the body.
Suddenly, a ray of purple light shot straight into his sea of consciousness.
Hou Jingyan was stunned for a moment. He touched his forehead and looked at Fuda and said, "Fuda, did you see the purple light just now?"
"What purple light, Jing Yan, are you dazzled?"
"What's this."
Fuda stretched out his hand to untie a bulging bag around the skeleton's waist.
I don’t know how long this skeleton has been here, but as soon as it was touched, the Taoist robe turned into dust.
Immediately afterwards, the entire body turned into smoke and dust.
"Boom!"
The moment the senior's body turned into smoke and dust, the mine suddenly collapsed as if it was disintegrating.
"run!"
The two of them didn't dare to hesitate at all, and ran towards the cave entrance in a rolling and crawling manner.
