Five hundred and thirtieth chapters first day riot
Because the blood moon is coming, Liu and Liang can only temporarily stay in this dark inn.
The canyon is very dark and deserted at night, but it is quite popular during the day. Guys who don't look like they are wandering around with nothing to do, making the already narrow canyon lively like a mortal market.
.
The area near the mountain wall was filled with small stalls made of wood, or simply a piece of rag spread on the ground, with all kinds of strange things piled on top. There was a man sitting behind who looked at passers-by with malicious eyes.
monk.
Liu Qinghuan put on a black robe, covering her whole body in shadow, and blended in the crowd inconspicuously, looking slowly along the row of stalls.
This is a test of your eyesight, because most of the things on these stalls are deliberately ambiguous and difficult to distinguish between true and false. For ten spiritual stones, you can buy a lot of chelicerae and ox bones, which are dyed black and passed off as a thousand spiritual stones.
Pu iron bones; crushed marigolds that can only be used to feed spiritual animals, cut off the head and tail, trim them, and then sell them as shredded star grass.
But not all good things were missed. Liu Qinghuan squatted down and picked up a palm-sized piece of ore from a pile of messy things, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Blood-patterned soft gold is an excellent fusion of spiritual materials when refining various offensive magic weapons." The stall owner said lazily: "Five thousand spiritual stones, no two prices."
Seeing Liu Qinghuan rubbing the ore with his fingers, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he stood up angrily and growled: "What are you doing? Get out of here if you don't want to buy it!"
Liu Qinghuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly. It seemed that this person regarded the ore as ordinary soft gold and jade, and then used the flaws and cracks on it to dye it with blood, passing it off as more expensive blood-patterned soft gold.
He said: "Buy it, of course I want to buy it, and I want to buy it sincerely! It's just that your blood-patterned soft gold is too expensive. The ones larger than this can only cost three thousand spirit stones at most, and yours can only cost two thousand and five thousand at most."
It’s not worth it anymore!”
The stall owner's eyes squinted slightly, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he made a very reluctant look: "Two thousand and five! Boy, do you think that these are all inferior goods? Four thousand and five spiritual stones, we can never do it again."
One penny less!"
After some haggling, Liu Qinghuan finally pocketed the ore, which could not be worth a penny less, for 3,020 low-grade spiritual stones.
Liu Qinghuan was very satisfied because he got a thumb-sized piece of top-quality chalcedony for only half the price.
The stall owner was also very satisfied, and his attitude was a little more enthusiastic. He carefully took out a small celadon bottle from his arms, pretended to create a soundproof cover, and whispered: "Fellow Taoist, I think you are a person who knows the goods. Today counts."
Here it comes! I also have a bottle of Qingji Dew made from a secret recipe passed down from the ancient beast tribe. This dew can ensure that your blood will not infect your mind during the blood moon. You only need to concentrate on cultivation and only need five thousand spirit stones.
One bottle, do you want it?"
Liu Qinghuan hesitated and said: "Is it true?"
"How could it be fake! Go and ask, who in this Burial Valley knows my name as the alchemy master? Even the Buddha's Heart Sect has asked me to refine elixirs."
Liu Qinghuan took the vial and slowly uncorked it: "Buddha's Heart Sect is asking you to make elixirs? I don't believe it."
"Hey!" The stall owner squinted his eyes and said, "The blood moon is coming soon. Those guys from the Buddha's Heart Sect can't just block the path of calamity and ignore their cultivation. They finally changed from ancient times this year.
The orcs cheated out the elixir, which naturally required a lot of people to refine it, so I had it... and was invited over. To tell you the truth, I am the only one who has this Qingjilu on this street, you can look for it elsewhere.
Can’t even find it!”
While he was speaking, Liu Qinghuan had carefully examined the light cyan liquid in the vial. With the eyesight of a true alchemy master, he had identified several of the elixirs based on smell and observation, and they matched the description of the stall owner.
of medicinal efficacy.
It’s just that the spiritual liquid in this bottle is damn watery!
Although it is mixed with spiritual water, it is indeed mixed with water!
Liu Qinghuan was quite speechless, and slowly put the cork back on the bottle under the expectant gaze of the stall owner, and said: "It's really good stuff, but such a small bottle is not enough. If there is a prescription..."
The stall owner's eyes lit up and then darkened, and he waved his hand listlessly and said: "Come on, you really think that the Buddha's Heart Sect is really a Buddha's Heart. Apart from robbing and killing, what else can they do? Of course, it's impossible for us to let them.
These outsiders know all the elixir recipes, and we are only helping to process a few spiritual materials. We should separate them, and no one knows how others are handling them."
Liu Qinghuan shrugged: "There's nothing we can do about it, I don't have that many spiritual stones in my body."
The stall owner raised his eyebrows and took the vial back: "Are you fucking kidding me?!"
"You can't say that, I just bought you a piece of blood-patterned soft gold!"
"Gungun, why am I wasting so much time without the spirit stone! Don't let me see you next time, or I'll beat you to paralysis!"
Liu Qinghuan's mood was not affected in the slightest by being blasted away, and he continued his shopping and inquiring trip.
At the end of the day, he actually got a lot of information and had a general understanding of the situation and forces in this place.
When he returned to the inn, Liang Jing'an had already returned first. When he saw him, he waved excitedly: "Come and see."
Liu Qinghuan walked over and saw a map on the table. It was much more detailed than the one the old ghost gave them. The calamity path on the side of Langdian Snow Peak was clearly visible on the map, and it stretched all the way to the darkness.
Moon realm.
Liang Jing'an pointed at a mountain ridge: "Here, it is said that the mountain gate of the Buddha's Heart Gate is located." He raised his head: "You should have heard about the Buddha's Heart Gate, right?"
Liu Qinghuan nodded: "A small sect lingering on the path of calamity."
"Yes." Liang Jing'an lowered his head and continued: "I caught a member of this sect today. After searching the soul, I got a lot of information. Don't underestimate this sect. They actually have a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge..."
The two exchanged what they had gained today.
As a passage connecting two continents, Jie Dao carries much more than its name.
Perhaps in the beginning, this passage was famous for robbing, killing and trapping passing monks, but as time went by, the proportion of such things became less and less. More often, monks from the two realms would secretly trade here to exchange what they lacked.
supplies.
This also involves the history of mutual hostility between the Floating Moon Realm and the Dark Moon Realm, which limits this kind of transaction to a small area. Therefore, the Tribulation Path is filled with various forces, including gangs like the Buddha Heart Sect, and some alone.
A practicing monk.
"That's good." Liang Jing'an said: "The situation is much better than we imagined. Is it not as difficult for us to cross this road as before?"
Liu Qinghuan smiled bitterly: "How is that possible?"
He stood up and walked to the window and looked out through the small window: "Who stipulates that they can't rob when they are doing business? Faced with passing monks like us, they can naturally be 'honesty-based' businessmen just a moment ago.
In the next moment, he transformed into a gangster in the green forest. But we don't have to worry too much. With our cultivation, there shouldn't be many people who really dare to jump out."
He raised his head. The wind and snow finally stopped tonight. Dark clouds drifted across the sky from time to time. Behind the dark clouds, three rounds of the nearly full moon occasionally showed their heads, shedding bright moonlight. When the red moon showed up,
, the earth turned bloody.
"It's only a few days away..." Liu Qinghuan murmured.
Liang Jing'an also walked over, slightly worried, and said: "The blood moon is coming, do you think we should make any preparations? After all, we are not from this world, and we have never experienced a blood moon."
Liu Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. If you're worried, I still have some anti-evil pills here. I can give you two pills."
Liang Jing'an smiled and said: "That's just right."
The two of them talked for a few more words, and then Chu Yi's voice suddenly sounded in Liu Qinghuan's mind. He was startled, then stood up and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Liang Daoyou, please rest."
Liang Jing'an opened her mouth in surprise, but in the end she didn't say much: "That's fine."
Liu Qinghuan turned around and entered the inner room, opened the magic circle, and created a private space.
He released Chu Yi and recruited Xiao Hei from the Songxi Cave Sky Map.
As soon as Xiao Hei came out, he straightened up in confusion, twitched his nose and said, "Master, I feel a strange aura!"
Liu Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully and looked at the hoofed beast: "On the first day of the year, you said you have something to tell us?"
On the first day of the month, it walked around restlessly in the house, looking out the window from time to time, and even a few times seemed to want to use the sharp corners of its head to push against the edge of the window. When Liu Qinghuan asked, it turned back and said eagerly: "Master
, I want to go out! The blood moon is an opportunity for me and Brother Xiaohei, we want to go outside!"
"Outside?"
Liu Qinghuan had never seen Chuyi lose his cool so much before, and stretched out his hand to grab the little white beast: "Chuyi, are you okay?"
Chu Yi turned around, avoided his hand, and snorted: "The woods outside, the mountains over there, I think there are things we need in those mountains and fields!"
Liu Qinghuan frowned: "You mean the mountain forest where the ancient beast tribe is located? But in your current state..."
"Master!" The little girl's voice suddenly climbed up, almost screaming in Liu Qinghuan's mind: "There are things we need there, we have to go out..."
She repeated these two sentences over and over again, tapping her four hooves on the ground.
Xiao Hei has been staying in the Songxi Cave Sky Map these days, so he has not been affected by the blood moon. He is a little baffled at this time. However, the induction of the spirit beast also made him discover something in a very short time, and he turned around to look.
In the direction of the invisible ancient beast forest.
Liu Qinghuan looked calm, grabbed the restless hoofhorn beast without any doubt, and said sternly: "First grade of junior high school! If you can't keep your mind, how can I let you out!"
However, the usually docile and well-behaved little beast had lost its calmness at this time. The four strange pupils in its eyes were slowly dyed red with blood. It looked at Liu Qinghuan fiercely and let out an angry roar!
Its shrill voice turned into an invisible wave and rushed around, causing the protective array in the room to immediately let out a sharp buzz!
Liu Qinghuan's complexion suddenly changed as he was very close to her. He waved his hands in an instant, and a green light blocked him in front of him, and then spread to the entire room, tyrannically suppressing all fluctuations!
Xiao Hei was shocked, rushed up to hug the angry hoofed horned beast, and shouted: "First grade, wake up! That is our master, your favorite master, how can you attack him? Wake up quickly
!”
Liu Qinghuan calmed down instead, turned his hand, and stuffed a cold snow-white elixir into the hoofhorn beast's mouth in a blink of an eye.
The hoofhorned beast trembled all over, and it took a while to stop struggling. It was panting heavily and was pressed under Xiao Hei's body.
"Xiao Hei, you can let go."
Xiao Hei raised his body tentatively, and then let go of the hoofhorned beast after making sure.
"Master?" The clear and clean little girl's voice sounded again. Chuyi raised his head, his big eyes that had regained clarity were full of regret and fear.
Liu Qinghuan sat on a chair by the window and said, "Calm down?"
Chuyi timidly approached him, and when he saw that he didn't move away, he carefully rubbed his leg and said with a tearful voice: "Master, I was wrong..."
Liu Qinghuan sighed and reached out to touch her head comfortingly: "No, you are right."
Seeing that the two spirit beasts were puzzled, he continued: "I just thought about it and you are right. As spirit beasts, you should seize this opportunity and accept the gift from the blood moon. Maybe your cultivation
There will be a breakthrough.”
Now, both of his spirit beasts have reached the middle level of the third level, and both seem to be stuck at a bottleneck.
The little black monkey's eyes were darting around, not knowing what he was thinking.
On the first day of the new year, he finally recovered a little from the shock of his rebellious attack on his master, but he was still too scared to speak anymore and only looked at him with tears.
Liu Qinghuan was thinking, pacing in the room, and said slowly: "When do you want to go?" Then he immediately asked and answered himself: "Well, naturally the sooner you go out, the better, and you can get used to it before the blood moon.
Well, you cannot completely suppress your animal nature, otherwise you may miss the opportunity to break through... But you cannot completely lose your mind, otherwise you will not be able to avoid fatal dangers, and you may even fall into crazy bloodlust."
He stopped, took out two bottles of elixirs, and distributed them to the two spirit beasts: "Here are the Jinghan Dan that I just ate on the first day of the new year. Take it with you. Although you may not remember to take it at that time, but you said
I don’t know when it will come in handy.”
Xiao Hei happily took it and stuffed it into the ring on his thick finger, while Chu Yi put it into his own sharp corner.
"Without further delay, let's leave now." Liu Qinghuan said, after taking back the two spiritual beasts, he opened the magic circle and went outside.
Liang Jing'an was sitting in front of the window with her legs crossed, drinking a plate of side dishes, and was very happy.
Seeing him coming out, he raised his glass and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, would you like some?"
"No." Liu Qing said with a smile, "I have something to go out for, and I might not be able to come back until later."
"Ah? Oh!"
Liang Jing'an endured the question: "Then be careful."
"You too." Liu Qinghuan cupped her hands, opened the door a small crack, and slid into the darkness.
