Yuan Ming moved his eyes away from the middle-grade spiritual stone in the bald man's hand and looked at the two black jade slabs. He was slightly startled, looking a little confused.
"It seems like this is your first time trading runes, right?" the skinny old man asked tentatively.
"Ahem, I have never been involved in this area before." Yuan Ming coughed lightly and said with a little embarrassment.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. There is always a first time for this person. This is a jade tablet with inscriptions. It is specially used to record the runes. It can record the starting trend of the runes for reference at any time. You only need to gather
Just put a trace of mana on your fingertips and outline the runes on them." The skinny old man chuckled and gave Yuan Ming an encouraging look, but secretly rejoiced in his heart. Yuan Ming has been officially judged as secretly stealing the family's rare runes.
He was a prodigal son who was taken out and sold.
After all, the existence of every rare rune is a product of heaven and earth. It is in the hands of some ancient sects and cultivation families. It is related to the power of magic weapons, magic weapons and even talismans. It is an inherited thing and no one will take it easily.
Those who exchange for spiritual stones will find a rare commodity.
Hearing this, Yuan Ming reached out and took the black jade plate. Following what the old man said, he concentrated his magic power on his fingertips and drew the "Tingfeng" rune on one of the jade plates with inscriptions.
I saw that the jade plate, which originally looked dark and nothing special, lit up a little white light when Yuan Ming's fingertips touched it, and extended with the movement of Yuan Ming's fingers. When his fingers left, the jade plate
A seemingly complex rune that glowed white was left behind, and disappeared in a flash, and the jade plate returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened before.
As soon as he finished painting, the old man snatched the jade plate away and injected some magic power. A white dot lit up on the jade plate, and then a complex rune was outlined, and then disappeared in a flash. The entire drawing process,
Even the speed is the same as what Yuan Ming had drawn with his fingers before.
"Wonderful, it's really wonderful..." The old man looked like he was intoxicated. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to imitate the situation, as if he was distracted.
Yuan Ming secretly marveled in his heart, and immediately without hesitation, he drew the "Phantom" rune on another jade tablet with talismans in one go and handed it to the old man.
"That's right, that's right! I see you, Huo Lian, are very familiar with each other, but are you a new monk visiting this Black Rock City?" Huo Lian held the two jade plates with talismans in his hands and fondled them for a long time.
Then he smiled and said to Yuan Ming.
"This is my first visit to Black Rock City, Yuan Ming." Yuan Ming said.
"The name is good, it fits the temperament of a weapon refiner. Work hard, and your achievements in the future will be limitless! If you are not in a hurry to make a magic weapon, you can come to me at any time after you have thought about it." A day of fire training
He said in a great mood after achieving two wishes.
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I'll take my leave first."
Yuan Ming took six middle-grade spiritual stones from the bald man and was about to stand up to leave. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something and stopped and turned around and said, "Senior Huolian, you have never seen these two runes, have you?
?How to tell whether they are true or false? Aren't you worried that someone will lie to you with a made-up rune?"
At this moment, Huo Lian's mind was once again immersed in the two black jade slabs in his hands, and he did not hear Yuan Ming's questions at all.
"Don't worry about this. The runes are created by the great road of heaven and earth. People who know enough about the runes can sense the aura in even unfamiliar runes. You can tell at a glance whether they are true or false." The bald man said.
Explained for him.
"I see." Yuan Ming said thoughtfully and left.
…
Gu Yue was half squatting on the street with a piece of grass in her mouth, looking at the passers-by in boredom. When she saw Yuan Ming coming out of the shop, she immediately threw the grass away from her mouth and stood up to greet him.
He didn't ask Yuan Ming what he did in the store, he just instinctively felt that Yuan Ming was in a good mood, and that was enough.
If those in their line of work are satisfied with hiring their own "boss", they will naturally benefit from it. After all, although Yuan Ming seems to be shrewd, he does things well.
Before Gu Yue could speak, Yuan Ming suddenly asked: "Next, do you want to take me to Zhongyuan's shop?"
"First go to the shops in Zhongyuan. If there is nothing suitable, it is not too late to go to other places." Gu Yue nodded.
"Is there a place where I can buy Central Plains clothing? Take me to see it." Yuan Ming asked again.
When Gu Yue heard this, she was a little confused, but she still took Yuan Ming to a nearby clothing workshop. Yuan Ming asked Gu Yue to wait. After he went in for a while, he came out dressed like a Central Plains person.
"Tsk, tsk, if no one had told me about Brother Yuan's attire, I would have thought you were a young man from a certain noble family in Jin Dynasty!" Gu Yue clicked her tongue in amazement.
"Let's go." Yuan Ming smiled and didn't explain much.
What Gu Yue said was actually correct. The clothes he was wearing were indeed the ones he remembered wearing when he went out to play in the Jin Dynasty, which was consistent with his true identity.
As for why he did this, he couldn't explain it himself. He might have returned home after a long absence and wanted to express his thoughts here. At the same time, he also considered that it might be more convenient for people from the Central Plains to visit their shops.
The two continued walking and stopped in front of a shop half a quarter of an hour later.
This is a large store with five floors, green tiles and yellow walls, and flying eaves and standing animals. It looks extremely grand. Above the open door of the store hangs a huge gold-lacquered plaque with the words "Changxian Tower" written on it.
With big characters, there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out of the shop.
"Is this right here?" Yuan Ming looked at the large golden plaque.
"Yes, Changxian Tower is the largest Central Plains store in Fang City. It is the property of Changchun Temple, a wealthy family of Dajin cultivators. Many of the goods in it are sent directly from Dajin. Apart from being expensive, there are no shortcomings." Gu Yue
Said with a smile.
"Changchun View!" Yuan Ming's heart moved and he looked at the shop in front of him again.
Isn't the "Nine Yuan Jue" he practiced the secret technique that Changchun Temple only provides to elite disciples?
In terms of cultivation effect, it is indeed not comparable to any other technique in Biluodong. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would be quite reluctant to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, even the fourth and fifth levels.
Coupled with the close relationship between this sect and the royal family of the Jin Dynasty and the fact that they opened their shops to southern Xinjiang, the term "rich family" is well deserved.
"By the way, I heard that Brother Yuan came from it. You must have heard of Changchun Temple, right?" Gu Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"It seems to be a Taoist sect in the Jin Dynasty." Yuan Ming said vaguely.
"Brother Yuan is indeed knowledgeable. The religions in the Central Plains are Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian. Changchun Temple is the orthodox Taoist religion and is good at refining elixirs and talismans. The elixirs and talismans in the Changxian Tower are far from comparable to any sect in southern Xinjiang. Yuan Ming
In addition to spiritual materials, if you are interested, you can take a look later," Gu Yue said.
"Okay." Yuan Ming responded, thoughts swirling in his mind.
The elixir is what he wants. As for the talisman, it is a one-time consumable. Although it is quite convenient to use, a low-level talisman requires at least one or two low-level spiritual stones, which was not what he considered originally.
thing.
However, today is different from the past. He now possesses more than 600 spiritual stones, so he naturally has a lot more confidence.
The two walked into the Changxian Building one after another, and a rather grand hall came into view. It could accommodate a hundred people without being crowded. The interior decoration was similar to that of other shops. There were many shelves with a variety of goods on them.
.
There were many guests in the hall at this time, and there were voices and bidding everywhere, making it very lively.
Yuan Ming glanced at the shelves. Most of them were spiritual materials. He did not see the elixirs and talismans that Gu Yue mentioned.
"The Changxian Building has five floors, and the items sold on each floor are different. The sales of spiritual materials, elixirs and talismans on the first floor are on the second and third floors. As for the fourth floor, it is said that it is a private room specially designed to receive distinguished guests. It must be
Only when you get a special invitation." Gu Yue saw Yuan Ming's doubts and explained, with a look of yearning on her face when she mentioned the fourth floor.
Yuan Ming nodded and walked through the shelves looking for it.
The spiritual materials in Changxian Tower were also placed in categories according to the attributes of the five elements. He quickly came to the place where water-attribute spiritual materials were sold. After searching for a while, he finally saw a half-cup on the top of a shelf not far away.
The transparent cyan stone box contained a piece of white cold jade the size of a thumb. The cold air was overwhelming, and there was still a slight chill showing through the box.
"Ice Soul Stone! A genuine mid-grade spiritual material!" Yuan Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.
Before Yuan Ming walked over, an attendant in green came over, his eyes fell on Yuan Ming, and he said with a smile: "What spiritual materials do you two guests want? I have a lot of goods in Changxian Tower, which are cheap and high-quality. Absolutely."
It will make you two feel right at home.”
"I want to find some spiritual materials, preferably medium-grade or above. If there are good elixirs and talismans, I can also take a look." Yuan Ming said calmly.
Yuan Ming spoke in the Central Plains dialect this time, with a standard and fluent Central Plains Dajin accent, which surprised Gu Yue.
He works as an information dealer in Black Rock City. He can naturally understand and speak a few words in the Central Plains dialect, but he cannot be so fluent.
The most important thing is that when Yuan Ming asked for something, he was obviously much louder than when he first met. You must know that just a medium-grade spiritual material requires dozens of spiritual stones. Let’s not forget the elixirs. Talisman is not an ordinary refinement.
The monks in the Qi period can afford it.
If you really buy all these things, you will get hundreds of spiritual stones, right?
"The distinguished guest turns out to be from the Jin Dynasty. How inconsiderate it is? Please move to the private room on the fourth floor. I will go and invite the deacon." The attendant in green clothes originally thought that Yuan Ming was dressed in Jin Dynasty clothes and behaved well, so he heard him say
He became even more excited, seemed extremely enthusiastic, and replied in Chinese dialect.
Then, he called another female attendant to receive Yuan Ming and the others, and left quickly.
Yuan Ming and Gu Yue followed the female attendant up the stairs next to them and arrived at the fourth floor.
As Gu Yue said, the second and third floors are places where elixirs and talismans are sold. The stairs on the fifth floor are locked by an iron door. After asking the attendant in green, he learned that only monks in the foundation building stage can enter there.
There are separate rooms on the fourth floor. The layout of the rooms is very particular. The furniture and refreshments are all meticulous, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
The female attendant arranged for the two of them, served them two cups of light red spiritual tea, and left.
"Fire Yang Tea? This is a spiritual tea made from the Fiery Yang grass that grows near the crater. Drinking it has the effect of refining the meridians and calming the mind. Today, I have been blessed by Brother Yuan." Gu Yue picked up the tea cup.
, drank it all in one gulp, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Yuan Ming also took a sip and a warm current entered his organs from his throat and then spread throughout his body.
He just felt as if he had taken a hot bath in winter, his whole body was warm, and he felt indescribably comfortable. He was also glad that he had changed his clothes. He had been treated differently in Biluo Cave because of his identity as a Central Plains person.
That feeling of cowardice also melted away.
Here, it is still convenient to be a Central Plains person!
