Chapter 2: Distress
On a hazy winter moonlit night, with the cold wind howling like sharp knives, the sound of two people fighting each other could be heard in a forest outside Luofu City.
"I discovered this treasure first, go away quickly!" A woman in blue robes in the dark forest shouted to the man in gray and white linen in front of her. Only the woman's long head and eyebrows, white teeth and starry eyes were visible.
His skin was as smooth as gel, and he wore an indigo robe made of brocade. He held a stone talisman in his left hand, and from time to time, his right hand used the magic treasure in his hand to fire out icicle rays at the man.
"Sister! Don't you know that the one who sees the spiritual treasure that has no owner in the world has a share?" The man moved to avoid the icicle rays and made seals with his hands. The surrounding trees, flowers and plants were hit by the icicle rays and instantly froze.
The man was wearing a plain gray linen clothes, with an unremarkable appearance, and a unique messy short hair. His name was Chen Guo. Originally, Chen Guo only planned to come to the dark forest to dig up a low-level herb called "Bingling grass".
I plan to go back and refine first-level magic talismans such as the ice-condensing talisman.
Who would have thought that when passing by the forest, he found an idiot female nun shouting: "I found a high-level magic weapon!" Chen Guo was attracted here. Just when Chen Guo was squatting on the haystack and preparing to grab the treasure, he was attacked by the female nun in blue.
He was discovered and now he is being chased and beaten by a female nun in blue.
Seeing that the magic weapon repeatedly failed to hit Chen Guo in front of him, the female cultivator in blue took out several magic charms from her sleeves with an angry look on her face.
"Blue stone talisman? Burning fire talisman? Red thunder talisman?" Chen Guo was frightened when he saw the female cultivator in blue holding out a series of second-level talismans.
"If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude." Because she had a trump card in her hand, the female nun in blue became very proud and said arrogantly to Chen Guo with raised eyebrows.
"Look at my Heavenly Fire Cloud Palm." After completing the hand seals, Chen Guo rolled on the ground, spread his hands and shouted to the female nun in blue.
Hearing Chen Guo's words, the female cultivator in blue was stunned for a moment. She looked at Chen Guo with wide eyes, stopped firing the magic weapon in her hand, and said, "Could it be the Fire Cloud Sect's Heavenly Fire Cloud Palm?"
I saw a bright light suddenly emitting from Chen Guo's palm. In an instant, a large area of light lit up in the forest, and then dimmed. The eyes of the female cultivator in blue were flashed by the bright light. She covered her eyes with her hands and squatted down in pain. She held the stone talisman in her hand.
She left the cards, her magic weapons, and talismans on the ground.
"I'm sorry, this is not the Heavenly Fire Cloud Palm, this is my little brother's Nirvana Technique." Chen Guo immediately ran to the female cultivator in blue, rolled up the things left behind by the female cultivator, and then frantically headed toward the city.
Run away.
After a long time, the female cultivator in blue slowly recovered. When she opened her eyes, she found that the magic weapon and stone talisman in her hand had disappeared. She stood up and looked around, and found that Chen Guo's figure was also there.
He disappeared, stamped his feet angrily, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What a little thief, he actually used a small Nirvana Technique called Mysterious Level Technique, Sky-Fire Cloud Palm, to bluff me. Don't let me meet Xu Niannian next time."
arrive."
At this time, a figure appeared furtively in a dilapidated wooden house in Luofu City.
"I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich. I never thought that I, Chen Guo, would be rich one day." Chen Guo happily put all the things he had snatched from the nun in blue on the broken wooden table.
There was no decent furniture in the dilapidated wooden house, only a rotten wooden bed covered with straw, a round wooden chair with missing wooden legs, and a broken wooden table with a
There were some old yellow talisman papers, a writing brush with messy bristles, and a half-cut candle. Looking at this, one didn’t know where Chen Guo had picked these things up.
With a thought in his mind, Chen Guo flew out a small piece of flame from his hand, lit half of the candle on the table, picked up a small stone on the ground and placed it on the missing leg of the log chair, then sat on the chair and hugged the table to grab it.
After sniffing the thing carefully, it seemed like a fetish, and he let out a perverted and evil smile "Jie Jie Jie".
"This idiot girl, how could I, who is only at the third level of the Xuyuan Realm, use the Xuan-level spell, Sky-Fire Cloud Palm, to be deceived by me like this? She is really stupid. Although this woman is stupid, she is quite stupid.
Rich." Chen Guo couldn't help laughing when he thought of the scene of fighting with the female cultivator in blue.
"The bluestone talisman can instantly cause a person's body to suffer a heavy weight like a thousand catties. The burning talisman can inspire flames to burn the enemy. The red thunder talisman can inspire red lightning to strike the enemy. These second-level talismans are all good things.
Ah, each one is worth thirty low-grade spiritual stones." Chen Guo picked up the talisman and kissed it, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a pile of low-grade spiritual stones placed in front of him.
This low-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to the general currency of Xuanmo Continent. It can be used to purchase things and for self-cultivation. After all, Xuanmo Continent is a continent of monks who mainly practice Taoism.
Chen Guo looked at the ice grass on the table where he was boiling juice. The writing was crooked, and the ice-condensing talisman worth two low-grade spiritual stones looked like waste paper. He raised his eyebrows disdainfully.
Then, Chen Guo stared at the magic weapon used by the female cultivator in blue and smiled "hehe", then picked it up and inspected it. He saw that the magic weapon was in the shape of a blue porcelain jar, with mysterious runes painted on it and the mouth of the jar.
Some ice crystals remain.
But Chen Guo watched for a moment and then used his spiritual power to touch the jar, but there was no response from the jar. Chen Guo put the jar down in annoyance and said angrily: "Smelly bitch, you actually used all the spiritual energy of a low-grade magic weapon on the spiritual level."
It’s over. This is worth a hundred low-grade spiritual stones!”
After a moment of annoyance, Chen Guo stared at the stone talisman on the table that the female nun in blue said was a "high-level magic weapon." There were no runes or pictures on the stone talisman, only the word "Chen Guo" was engraved on it.
Not understanding the words, Chen Guo stretched out his hand and carefully touched the stone talisman with his spiritual power, but there was no reaction.
"Did I make a mistake? It shouldn't be." Chen Guo stretched out his hand again and rubbed the stone talisman repeatedly.
After rubbing it for a long time, the stone talisman was heated up, but there was no trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, which made Chen Guo couldn't help but wonder if he had snatched a broken stone.
Chen Guo shook his head, strung the stone talisman with a rope, hung it around his neck, and comforted himself: "Forget it, forget it, I've made a lot of money anyway, I will exchange the talisman for a spiritual stone tomorrow, it will be enough."
I will advance to the next level of cultivation." Thinking of this, Chen Guo couldn't help laughing.
The current Chen Guo is only at the third level of Xuyuan Realm. Originally, according to this level of cultivation, he would need to consume five low-grade spiritual stones every day to cultivate enough. Due to his low level of cultivation, Chen Guo was doing fake goods business during the day and going to the counterfeit goods business at night.
Picking ice grass and making an ice-condensing talisman for sale, because he earns very few spiritual stones, he only dares to use two low-grade spiritual stones for practice every day, causing his cultivation to stagnate. Tonight's harvest was quite fruitful, which made Chen Guodu
Dare to be extravagant.
After a while, Chen Guo lay on the straw bed holding a few talismans and gradually fell asleep, with a satisfied smile on his sleeping face.
And the stone talisman hanging around his neck emits bursts of yellow light from time to time.
"Ah, where am I?" In his sleep, Chen Guo seemed to have stumbled into a dark place, groping around in the darkness.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed around him, and the surrounding area became brighter. Chen Guo covered his eyes with his hands and said, "What is going on?"
When Chen Guo put down his hand, he slowly opened his eyes and looked around him, as if he had come to an empty space, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and there was nothing except himself.
"Is there anyone there?" Chen Guo shouted to the surroundings, but no one gave any response. The empty space was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Just when Chen Guo was facing the uninhabited space and full of questions, an old voice came from behind him, "Young man, I'm here."
Chen Guo was startled by the sudden sound. He turned to look at the source of the sound behind him. He saw an old man wearing a white plain robe and a short beard suddenly appeared behind him, looking at Chen Guo with a smile.
"Old man, who are you?" Chen Guo swallowed involuntarily, looked at the old man in white robe and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Old man?" The white-robed old man's face twitched. In order to maintain his inscrutable appearance, his face slowly turned back to a smile and looked at Chen Guo, and said: "Young man, it is fate that you and I meet each other. I can satisfy you."
You have a wish, what do you want?"
"What, you want to help me fulfill a wish?" Chen Guo looked at the old man in white robes in surprise, dumbfounded.
"Yes, what do you want? A cloud of wives and concubines?" The old man in white robe stroked his short beard and looked at Chen Guo with a smile.
Chen Guo shook his head after hearing this.
"Is it billions of spiritual stones?"
Chen Guo shook his head again.
"Otherwise it's the power of heaven?"
Chen Guo shook his head like a rattle.
It was the white-robed old man's turn to be confused. He stopped stroking his short beard and said, "Then what do you want?"
Chen Guo stretched out his right hand, raised it in the air and clenched his fist tightly, and said with firm eyes: "I want them all!"
The white-robed old man's face twitched again, and then he laughed and said, "Yes, you are greedy enough. I like it."
"Old man, am I dreaming? Are you so cheerful?" Chen Guo said in disbelief as he looked at the smiling old man in white robes in front of him.
"Whether it's a dream or not, won't you know if you pinch your face?"
Chen Guozhen reached out and pinched his face...
With a sound of "Yeah", Chen Guo woke up from his sleep on the straw bed. Looking out the window, it turned out that it was already dawn and the candles on the table were all burned out.
"It turns out to be Huang Liang Yi Meng." Chen Guo couldn't help but sigh.
