Chapter Forty-Nine: Purple Scale Green Python Skin
When Han Yuan saw the long-bearded old man choosing Gu Chi's Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures, his expression was not very good. Now that he saw the colorful Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures, his expression was extremely dark.
He has been dormant for decades, and recently came to the Diming Mountains to collect materials. He accidentally saw the weapon refiner competition and met someone from the Weapon Control Sect.
He thought this was an opportunity given by God to avenge the Blood Valley Sect, but who would have thought that he would still miss out on the top spot!
If he lost to Gu Chi, he would be convinced, but what was even more hateful was that this unknown person, who was inconspicuous in the first two rounds and could only be described as a fluke, actually kicked him off the high platform.
Coupled with Gu Chi's calmness, what he did originally made him look like a clown!
The flowing colorful light is the most ruthless ridicule.
The long-bearded old man held the colorful seven-orificed exquisite heart in his hands, frowned, and stared at the thing in his hands. He was so excited that he could not speak.
It was as if this seven-orificed exquisite heart was a living thing at this moment, looking at him but speechless.
This weird scene lasted for a long time, and voices of dissatisfaction came from the stands.
"What are you looking at? They don't explain it, and they don't announce the results! I'm so anxious!"
Only then did the long-bearded old man come back to his senses, his face still unable to conceal his excitement. "Master, I'm afraid you have reached the third level of Xuanjie, right?"
Hearing this, the calm Gu Chi couldn't help but tremble. When he looked at Xuan Ye, in addition to shock, there was also a hint of admiration in his eyes.
On the other hand, Han Yuan raised his eyebrows. He was a third-level Xuan-level person, but he was a top-level Xuan-level person. He did not lose unjustly.
At the same time, he also secretly cursed that this old monster has such a weird temperament. He had to refine it like that in the first two rounds, which made him lose face!
Xuan Ye shook his head and did not respond, fearing that his age would be exposed if he spoke.
The old man with a long beard did not ask any more questions. He just showed joy and smiled at Gu Chi.
You have to pay for the materials and buy them yourself. But the winner of this competition is probably already obvious."
Gu Chi nodded and bowed to Xuan Ye again, "Thank you, senior, for your advice. Gu Chi is convinced."
Han Yuan curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "Xuan Jie came to participate in such a competition, huh, I don't want money or buy it, so I'm leaving!" After that, he flew away from the arena.
Xuan Ye felt guilty for a while. If Master Ding hadn't taken action, he wouldn't have been able to compete with the two of them. Fortunately, he was hiding under the mask and didn't need to be seen through. He just waved his hand pretending to be a master.
The long-bearded old man smiled slightly, quietly accepted the exquisite heart with seven orifices, and extended his hand to invite: "Master, please follow me to the inner room to talk."
Traveling with Xuan Ye was Gu Chi.
His guess was correct, Gu Chi should be the person Tianbao Pavilion was looking for from the beginning.
Because the stakes are so high, no one can be completely sure about the weapon refining, and it is easier to perform exceptionally well on the field, so this weapon refining competition was held in a hurry.
Even if the participants are not strong enough, Gu Chi can still be used as a guarantee. It just takes a little more time.
Facts have also proved that Tianbao Pavilion made the right bet.
Entering the room, the long-bearded old man asked Xuan Ye to sit down for a while, then hurriedly left with Gu Chi.
The wait only lasted for half an hour. Fortunately, there were many rare treasures inside and there was a dedicated person to introduce them, so it didn't seem so boring.
When the long-bearded old man hurried back, he saw Xuan Ye playing with a jade cup. As an apology, he immediately decided to give it to him.
Xuan Ye was a little surprised. He could tell that the quality of the jade cup was not bad, so he had to accept it after trying to refuse it to no avail.
The long-bearded old man showed joy, took out a jade bottle the size of a thumb, and presented it with both hands. "This is the prize of the competition, the Heavenly Spirit Liquid. In addition, you can also buy an item at a low price. I wonder what you want to buy, Master?"
Xuan Ye was not polite and put the jade bottle in his arms. As for the purchase, he had already thought about it carefully, "I wonder if there is Tiangu tung oil in Guibao Pavilion?"
He didn't want to buy it, but wanted to see if it was particularly rare. If he could buy it, he wouldn't have to worry about much in the future.
Seeing the confused look on the old man's face, he understood in his heart, so he changed his mind and asked about the elixir for repairing the spirit body.
The long-bearded old man frowned and said frankly: "I have heard of it, but this kind of elixir is extremely rare and not many people need to use it, so Tianbao Pavilion does not have it in stock. There is a prescription for the elixir. I wonder if Master needs it?
"
Xuan Ye thought that the pill prescription was not bad. Anyway, let Gu Meier recover her spiritual body first and increase her strength to prevent the monsters from attacking. Now there was only one problem left, he had no money!
He had carefully counted and found that he only had a few pieces of Hunling Stage demon crystals and a dozen of Transformation Stage demon crystals left on his body. Unless the elixir was very cheap, it would be impossible to afford it.
This demon crystal is not easy to obtain, so we can only think of other ways, such as exchanging objects for objects?
After hearing this, the long-bearded old man chuckled. "Tianbao Pavilion also collects all kinds of rare objects. Naturally, it supports the exchange of objects for objects, and the price can be reduced to the master!"
Xuan Ye knew that the other party wanted to buy a favor, but even if he didn't want to sell it, he didn't have the capital, so he might as well go with the flow and accept the favor, and took out a piece of purple snake skin half a person's length and width from his Xumi bag.
The old man with a long beard was shocked when he saw the snake skin, "Is this the skin of a green python with purple scales? Judging from the density of the purple scales, it may have taken hundreds of years of cultivation, so it is considered a rare thing!"
He touched it carefully for a while and marveled, "It's hard for me to estimate this kind of treasure. Why don't you wait here while I go get the elixir recipe?"
Xuan Ye nodded and continued to wander around the rare treasures.
This time, the long-bearded old man came back very quickly, holding a scroll in his hand, handed it to Xuan Ye respectfully, and then said.
"This purple-scaled green python skin is considered to be of the highest quality, but the quantity is a bit small. It can only be sold for 3,500 Hunling Stage demon crystals. The base price of this prescription is 2,000 demon crystals. The remaining ones can be exchanged for demon crystals, or we can
There is an alchemist in the pavilion, waiting for you to find enough main materials to buy you auxiliary materials and make elixirs."
Xuan Ye knew that it was extremely difficult to recruit good alchemists and weapon refiners, so this allowed him to save himself the trouble. He thanked them immediately and accepted the tokens from the other party.
Seeing that nothing happened, he bought a map of the Diming Mountains, exchanged a few polite words with the long-bearded old man, and left Tianbao Pavilion.
After Xuan Ye left, Gu Chi came out of the inner hall again with a serious look on his face. "Mr. Qin, I have already asked that none of the old monsters who have been refining weapons recently have any intention of coming out. I don't know when this person will show up."
In Jinglu Town."
The old man with a long beard chuckled, "Didn't you hear that he deliberately made his voice hoarse and hoarse? His true identity must be that of a young man in his twenties!"
"About twenty!" Gu Chi couldn't believe how he could have such superb refining skills at this age, and the belief in his heart seemed to collapse.
Thinking about how he started to work on weapon refining when he was three years old and is now twenty-seven, and how many hardships he has gone through to achieve success, he couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the sky. I still have a long way to go!"
Mr. Qin glanced at Gu Chi with relief, and then laughed. "No matter what, I have asked him to owe us Tianbao Pavilion a favor. This son is extraordinary. As long as this favor is still there, he will be of great benefit to the Dan clan in the future."
benefit."
…
After leaving Tianbao Pavilion, Xuan Ye walked around in a secluded place and asked Gu Meier to check that no one was following him. Then he took off his disguise and went to the rented courtyard.
When he returned to his residence, the first thing he did was to open the scroll. He skipped the process of refining the medicine and went straight to the material column.
By coincidence, the Heavenly Spirit Liquid obtained from this competition happened to be what was needed. In addition, three kinds of herbs were also needed.
Gu Meier appeared, leaning lazily on Xuan Ye's back, looking at the complicated elixir recipe, and smiled sweetly: "Don't worry so much, it's more important for you to improve your strength. If the opportunity comes, search for these herbs again.
.”
Xuan Ye did not answer, but asked: "If I can break the seal, will you be able to return to your body and you won't have to worry so much?"
"That's natural. It's just that even I can't break through the old master's seal. Unless you reach the soul-locking stage or get a magic weapon, you can break the seal."
"Soul-locking..." Xuan Ye thought that above the Hun Ling was the Yuan Mansion, above that was Baice, and after that was the Soul-locking period.
The higher you go, the harder it is to improve your cultivation. Just like Gu Mei'er once said, when someone reaches a certain level, it will take hundreds of years to not even increase their cultivation.
Simply speaking, the entry of Hun Ling into the Yuan Mansion is a hurdle that many monks would struggle to overcome even after hundreds of years. In addition to talent, it also requires a certain amount of opportunity.
He is still in the middle stage of Hun Ling, and the word "soul lock" is tantamount to listening to heavenly scriptures, so he can only put this idea aside for the time being.
Putting these things aside, Xuan Ye turned his attention to the Diming Mountains. This was the most important thing at the moment.
However, the heavy fog still lingered, making it impossible to enter the mountain, so we had to postpone the trip. In addition, today was a waste of energy, so I had to go to bed early.
While he was sleeping soundly, the sky was already turning upside down outside. People were spreading rumors about today's weapon refining competition and how the mysterious mysterious weapon refiner defeated his opponent.
As for the sacrifice of the thunder in the end, it is even more mysterious.
Early the next morning, Xuan Ye came to the town entrance and met Nan Guanghong again.
"Brother Xuan Ye, the fog has cleared, do you want to go into the mountains together?"
When Xuan Ye arrived for the first time, he naturally hoped for someone to lead the way, so he happily agreed. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he found that the same group of people recruited that day, including people from the Tianlan Sect, were also there.
He couldn't help but wonder why Nan Guanghong and the Tianlan Sect were not mortal enemies? Why were they still willing to go into the mountain together?
Nan Guanghong saw the doubts of the young man in black and explained: "The Diming Mountains are very dangerous. There is only this team recently. If we don't go into the mountains together, we may have to wait for several days."
Xuan Ye understood clearly, but he also saw that all around him were small sects or casual cultivators, and the big sects all gathered together and stood a little far away.
I couldn't help but frown, knowing that these small sects wanted to treat the big sect as a big tree to seek shelter. But from this point of view, this big tree not only cannot protect against wind and rain, but it is also very likely to eat people!
"Into the mountains!"
With an order, a large number of people crossed over the thorn trees used for protection and took the lead into the desolate wilderness.
Xuan Ye followed Nan Guanghong and set off a little later. When he crossed the thorn trees as straight as swords, he came to the misty mountains.
Separated by a thin line, it's like two worlds.
The mountains and fields are not only cold, but also very humid. The mist is like a handful of clear springs floating in the air, making people wet in a short time.
Looking at the mountains in the distance, it looks like an evil beast crouching on the ground, as if waiting for these monks to step into the tiger's mouth.
Xuan Ye looked at the people walking around him, all of them were walking in a hurry, with a hint of panic, and he didn't know what they meant.
Until a low roar came from the valley, which was a bit more horrifying than a mad bull.
