"Senior brother Xie, whom I know as junior brother, has always been easy-going and gentle. He rarely gets too happy or angry. Now that I heard senior brother mention it, I never imagined that senior brother was in such torment during the divine period." Shi Xuan still can't quite understand this feeling. , I broke through the two hurdles of Yingqi and Shenhun very quickly, and I basically didn’t feel the stagnation of my cultivation, and the feeling of being stuck at that step that was difficult to overcome for decades.
Xie Fangwei smiled bitterly: "It is my brother's character to be easy-going and bland, and to suffer in my heart are two different things. In Shenhun Consummation, my brother has been stuck for nearly fifty years. There was even a period of time where I couldn't even see the advanced high-grade gold. At that time, the hope of elixir was often wavering. At one moment, I thought that I might as well just settle for a middle-grade golden elixir, which would be better than 300 years of life. The next moment, I reversed my previous decision, and I felt as if I was trapped in a trap. It's like a secret room, where you struggle but don't see the light of day. Several times, Brother Wei went to the Ziqi Donglai Building, ready to exchange for the Nine Turns and Nine Returns Jade Recovery Liquid Divine Pill, but every time at this time, Brother Wei's stubborn temper broke out. , you must achieve a top-grade golden elixir.”
Shi Xuan did not expect that Xie Fangwei would pour out his bitterness in front of him, nor did he expect that Brother Xie, who had always been confident and powerful in his heart, would have such an experience. The high-grade golden elixir was indeed extremely difficult. No wonder so many casual cultivators and sects The disciples thought it was out of reach: "Fortunately, senior brother, you finally persisted, and the sect finally got a high-grade golden elixir. In fact, senior brother, your stubborn temper should be due to your firm Taoist heart."
Xie Fangwei regained his usual calmness and said with a faint smile: "Brother, you are similar in character to Junior Brother Shi. In addition, we are supported by Junior Brother Mo, so I vomit this bitterness in front of you and share this experience with you, so as not to hurt you." You will also be immersed in this kind of suffering in the future. If you make a mistake in a moment, it will be difficult for you to make up for it. I can't tell you how to achieve the top-grade golden elixir, but I still have four words for you: Persistence and determination."
"Thank you for the advice, senior brother. I really didn't expect that the master would ask you, senior brother." Shi Xuan really didn't expect it, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Master Mo Yuan achieved the top-grade golden elixir thirty years after he attained the perfection of the divine soul. A prodigy, I'm afraid he doesn't have much struggle and suffering, so he asked Xie Fangwei to give him guidance. Only this kind of heartfelt feeling can impress him deeply.
Xie Fangwei smiled and said: "Actually, even if Master Uncle Mo doesn't come, I will come and exchange cultivation experiences with you. After all, our friendship is not shallow, and even other true disciples, Elder Shenhun, and inner disciples, as long as they If you come here to ask me for advice, I will tell you the truth. This is one of the foundations of my Penglai sect’s ten thousand-year inheritance. By the way, when Master Mo comes to Tianshu Peak this time, there is one more thing that concerns you, Master Shi.”
"I don't know what's going on?" Shi Xuan was a little curious.
Xie Fangwei's face became solemn: "Uncle Mo recommended to the leader that you take over Tianji Peak, because he will break through to the Yin God stage in five or six years. My brother is the head of the Zhanglu Hall, so he was summoned by the leader to observe , I just found out about this.”
"Master has mentioned this to junior brother, but why is senior brother so solemn?" Shi Xuan asked puzzledly.
Xie Fangwei did not hide anything: "The main reason is that I think this will put a lot of pressure on you, junior brother. According to the sect's regulations, the first person on each peak is the person with the highest cultivation level. If the Yin God Venerable is not in this world, it will not be mentioned. Mo After Uncle Master left, there were several people with the highest cultivation level in Tianji Peak, including the elders of the previous generation and the true disciples of this generation. Their cultivation level is the same as that of you, Junior Brother Shi, and to this level of perfection. The stay is much longer than that of my junior brother."
"So, it is very possible that within a few years of you taking over Tianji Peak, Junior Brother Shi, some of them will have achieved the Golden Elixir. At that time, you will have to give up your first position. Brother Wei is worried that this will affect your state of mind, Junior Brother Shi. If there are bad changes, you will be hit hard, but in fact this is unfair competition. Junior brother, you have just achieved divine perfection, but their oldest has been perfected for more than eighty years. Maybe he will be able to survive in a few years. I can’t continue to use the Nine Turns and Nine Returns Jade Rejuvenating Liquid Divine Pill to achieve the golden elixir.”
Shi Xuan knew this, but taking charge of the world of Lei Mansion and having more opportunities for enlightenment would be of great benefit to his own practice. It was impossible to push away the master's good intentions, so he had to say: "Junior brother can only turn pressure into motivation."
Xie Fangwei shook his head: "There is no need to bear this pressure. The change in life span is the biggest pressure, anything more than that will be worse. In short, if this really happens, junior brother, just keep a normal mind."
After continuing to chat with Xie Fangwei for a while, and making an appointment to come to ask for advice next time, Shi Xuan said goodbye to him and went to the Foreign Affairs Hall.
…………
Two years later, Shixuan Cave Mansion.
"You said that in half a month's underground auction in the Western Wilderness, there might be genius treasures such as phoenix blood, invisible divine iron, and seven-color spider queen silk?" Shi Xuan asked the foreign affairs officer standing in front of him quietly. Zhao Feng'an, the hall deacon, was slightly surprised at the same time. Not to mention the invisible magic iron, phoenix blood was very rare.
Because although the Phoenix clan is tied with the Dragon clan, it has become extinct in this world, and the phoenix blood of the genius earth treasure type that Shi Xuan needs must come from a phoenix of the soul level.
However, no matter how rare Phoenix blood is, it is not as rare as Kunpeng Wei. Both of them require the level of Yuan Shen. Phoenix blood can also be obtained through tricky methods, such as collecting drops of it when Phoenix is fighting other Yuan Shen real people or monsters. The fallen blood, or directly exchange it for an item that can make the phoenix in the Yuan Shen stage feel excited. After all, it is only a few drops of blood. For it, it is really not a big sacrifice. But Kunpeng Stomach can only fight head-on, and it cannot be done. He went up and said, "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, let's talk about lending your stomach to Pindao?" There can only be one consequence of doing this, and Kunpeng will swallow it directly to comfort his stomach.
Zhao Fengan replied respectfully: "Reporting to Uncle Shi, according to the information collected by the Foreign Affairs Office, this is indeed the case. Not long ago, a relic of Yang Shen Zhenren was discovered in the outer layer of the Western Wasteland. This phoenix blood, invisible divine iron , the seven-color spider queen silk, etc. are all flowing out from it, and may appear in this auction. Moreover, it is rumored that there is a magic weapon deeper in the palace. Unfortunately, the combination of formation restrictions and space storms, even ordinary Yang It is difficult to reach even the real God."
The reason why it is possible is because of the rules of the auction itself. Those monks who have items that need to participate in the auction will not give the items to the auction host in advance, because in that case, they are likely to encounter the forces hosting the auction. They are very interested in the item, so they buy it forcibly or simply rob it. Even if it is not the first two, but a fair sale, it will not be as much as the one with the highest bid at the auction. Therefore, these monks are all at the auction site. Take out the items and auction them on the spot, paying the money and delivering the goods.
For example, if Shi Xuan now puts the reincarnation disk up for auction and hands it over to the presiding force, the most likely outcome is that the other party will directly take it away. After all, this is what all monks below the Yuan Shen dream of, and then they will compensate him with a sum of property of comparable value. Shi Xuan, this is for the sake of Shi Xuan being a true disciple of the Penglai Sect.
However, there is a problem. If the items to be auctioned are only known at the auction site, it will be difficult to ensure that the monks who come to participate in the auction have what they want, and it will be difficult to sell them at a good price. Therefore, in the Western Wasteland The rules of the auction are that if there are items that you want to put on the auction, you should inform the power hosting the auction in some way in advance, and then the host will reveal the news to the monks who have the ability to buy it back, so that these monks can see Once you have the items you want, you will come to participate, and there will be no silence.
Of course, this means that the information given by the auction is only about the items that are willing to be auctioned at the auction. There is no guarantee that they will be available at the time. For example, the monk who owns the item has an accident, or finds a better buyer, or uses it. It's just a matter of chance, or someone is simply bragging. In short, there is only a possibility of Phoenix blood and invisible magic iron appearing.
Shi Xuan nodded: "I know this, but will there be restrictions on monks participating in this auction?"
"Uncle Shi, there are restrictions. This auction is jointly organized by the casual cultivator alliance and some medium-sized sects in the Western Wilderness. I'm afraid that there will be too many people and troubles, so I made some special tokens and gave them to those who have the ability to participate in the auction. Our Penglai sect has received three of the monks who have met, so Uncle Shi, if you want to go, there will be no problem. As for those monks who have not received special tokens, if they can prove their financial resources, they will be able to enter." Zhao Fengan's words made Shi Xuan feel relieved. Auctions hosted by the Loose Cultivators Alliance and others would basically not lead to bad situations like fighting at the auction. As for being followed later and leading to a fight, the auction would not be concerned. It's a matter of course.
Shi Xuan asked slightly curiously: "What kind of financial resources do I need to prove to get in?"
Zhao Fengan smiled cautiously: "A piece of top-grade spirit stone, a symbol of identity and financial resources." In nature, there are no top-grade spirit stone mines. Where they come from, Shi Xuan does not know, and there is no mention in the sect's classics. There is no record, but it is very rare anyway. After all, other spiritual stones become waste stones after being used up in formations, but top-quality spiritual stones can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own to recover.
"Well, nephew Zhao, please step aside." Shi Xuan gave Zhao Feng'an a middle-grade spiritual stone. With Shi Xuan's current status, it would be too stingy to ask someone to do something without giving him any reward. Of course, The reward does not have to be spiritual stones, it can be advice, it can be magic weapons, it can be materials, it can be special spells, and so on.
Waiting for Zhao Fengan to leave, Shi Xuan still couldn't believe it. It took only two years for the Foreign Affairs Office to inquire about the Phoenix blood. It was beyond Shi Xuan's expectation. He could only say that he was really lucky. After all, he knew that in just a short time In the past two years, Shi Xuan's cultivation, techniques, and magical weapons have not changed much. He only took the time to visit Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan on Yaoguang Island to exchange their experiences on each other's cultivation.
However, the dandy children of the Yu family were in awe of Shi Xuan and did not dare to show off their arrogance in front of him. They did not play the role of the children of the family who were short-sighted, high-minded and narrow-minded, thereby offending Taoist Master Shi. After all, in Mishima In the sea area, not to mention Master Mo Yuan, Shi Xuan's own name alone, a master of the Divine Soul Period, a true disciple of the Penglai Sect, and a master of swordsmanship, no one of them can be offended by the family's children.@.
