Dong Dabin was afraid that Jing Shizhen, the troublemaker, would come to cause trouble again, so he didn't care about it anymore. He gave the black tortoise shell to Master Zhixuan and exchanged it for the vajra pestle.
"Old Jing, when we hold the trade fair next time, someone will tell you who your grandson is!"
Dong Dabin was actually not that satisfied with the transaction. He was still cursing after getting the vajra.
"Tch, why don't you just get a turtle shell? Do you really think it's a good thing?"
Jing Shizhen sneered at Dong Dabin's words, stood up suddenly, and slapped a palm-sized object on the table.
"What is this? It's so dark..."
"Old Jing, is this the object of your transaction?"
"It seems to be a piece of wood struck by lightning, but it's too small."
Seeing what Jing Shizhen took out, everyone immediately started talking. Most of the cultivators who had cultivated under the Three Flowers Gathering did not recognize this thing.
But there are still people in the field who know the goods. The characteristics of lightning-struck wood are very obvious. If you use your spiritual sense to detect it, you can feel the trace of lightning power contained in the wood.
"Lightning strikes the wood, exchange for exercise materials!"
Jing Shizhen threw the piece of wood on the table and made her own conditions.
"That's it, what kind of technique can I change?"
Dong Dabin smiled and said: "Well, Lao Jing, how about replacing my bone-shrinking skills with your lightning-struck wood?"
"While we're having fun, I'll also use some of my sneaky skills, but I won't change them."
Jing Shizhen's nostrils almost turned to the sky, "If you have any good stuff, feel free to bid. This piece of lightning-strike wood is just a model. As long as the item is good, I can have any number of lightning-strike wood!"
Hearing Jing Shizhen's words, everyone in the venue immediately thought. Such a small piece of lightning-strike wood is indeed not valuable, but if there are more, it will be different.
In addition to containing the power of lightning, lightning strike wood is also extremely hard. When it is made into knives, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons, it is no worse than weapons made from alloys.
Moreover, the attack formation engraved on the lightning strike wood is far more tolerant than metal. Once the formation is completed, the weapon made of the lightning strike wood can be turned into a magic weapon.
Another very important point is that when an offensive magic weapon made of lightning strike wood is used, there is a high probability of triggering the power of thunder and lightning in it.
Although this power of thunder and lightning may not kill people, if a master is paralyzed by the power of thunder and lightning for a moment, the outcome of the battle may be changed.
So after hearing Jing Shizhen's words, everyone began to think in their hearts. If there really was lightning strike wood that could be made into weapons, they could be exchanged for it.
"Dear donor, have you gone to the death zone?"
Master Zhixuan put one hand on his chest and said, "Honor the benefactor, you are so courageous. I admire you for being able to get the lightning-struck wood from the forbidden area of death."
"What? It came from the Death Zone, no wonder."
"Old Jing, you don't want your life. Why don't you go to such lengths in exchange for something?"
"That's right, the danger level of that place can definitely be ranked among the top three in the country."
The people speaking at this moment are all at the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, because cultivators at the Great Zhoutian Realm are not qualified to enter the Death Forbidden Zone at all. At most, they have only heard some rumors about the Death Forbidden Zone.
"Old Jing, how do you replace your lightning-strike wood?"
Zhao Yijian from Qingcheng Sword Sect took out a short sword and said: "This is the unique flying sword of our Qingcheng Sword Sect. What do you think?"
"Um?"
Seeing the flying sword, Su Xiaofan narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that his flying sword should have a great connection with the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
Because the dagger that appeared in front of Su Xiaofan, except for the different materials, other aspects such as the style and length were very similar.
Although it cannot be said that they were carved from the same mold, the two flying swords can definitely be regarded as close relatives. Su Xiaofan knew it after comparing them in his mind.
"I have to take a look first." Jing Shizhen reached out for the flying sword.
"Okay!" Zhao Yijian hesitated for a moment, then handed the flying sword out.
A member of the Qingcheng Sword Sect will receive three swords in his lifetime.
The first one is a wooden sword given by the master when he became a disciple. Wooden swords are usually made of iron wood and are used by disciples to practice sword moves.
The second sword was chosen at the Sword Sect Sword Tomb, Qingcheng Sword Tomb, which is also a very famous place in the cultivator world.
It is said that there are tens of millions of swords raised in the sword tomb. After the disciples of the Qingcheng Sword Sect reach the Qi refining stage, they can go and choose a sword of their own.
It is said that it is the man who chooses the sword, but in fact it can also be said that the sword chooses the man.
The swords in the Sword Tomb are all spiritual. When they meet someone they are destined to, they will automatically unsheath them and let the person choose them away.
The flying swords raised in the sword tomb are all of excellent quality, and combined with the Sword Sect's sword-control techniques, you can use some extremely lethal killing moves during the Qi training period.
The flying swords in the Sword Tomb can be used by Sword Sect disciples until the foundation building stage. Many people use this sword throughout their lives.
The third sword needs to be refined by the Sword Sect disciples themselves, because only the flying sword refined by oneself can be integrated with one's own mind, put into the body to cultivate, and become the natal flying sword.
The sword that Zhao Yijian took out was actually the flying sword he got from the sword tomb. It had been with him for almost a month, and it was extremely precious to Zhao Yijian.
"Brother Zhao, would you like to exchange this sword for me?"
Seeing the dagger Zhao Yijian took out, Jing Shizhen's playful smile suddenly disappeared.
Jing Shizhen and Zhao Yijian had some friendship, so they naturally knew that this was Zhao Yijian's main weapon, and he never left the sword.
"Brother Zhao, a gentleman doesn't take away favors from others, so let's forget about this sword."
Although Jing Shizhen was a little envious of the opponent's flying sword, he also knew that this sword had been raised by Zhao Yijian for decades. When he took it, it was just a sharp dagger at best, and he could not use the flying sword at all.
Power.
"Then how do you replace your lightning strike wood?"
Zhao Yijian frowned when he heard this. Although he couldn't bear to part with the sword, the lightning struck wood was more important to him.
Zhao Yijian has now reached the second level of perfect cultivation in the Three Flowers Gathering. He is only one step away from entering the last level of the Three Flowers Gathering, which is the realm where the Yin God leaves the body.
The state in which the Yin God leaves the body can also be called the realm of refining the spirit. It tempers the spiritual consciousness, thereby solidifying the Yin spirit and cultivating the Yang spirit. This state can be said to be the cultivation of spiritual consciousness.
For the disciples of the Sword Sect, spiritual consciousness is crucial for sword control. It can be said that only when you reach the realm of Yin Shen leaving the body can you truly practice the art of sword control.
Before entering the Yin Shen and leaving the body, it is best for Sword Sect disciples to start refining the rough embryo of their natal flying sword and send it into the body to cultivate it.
In this way, after a breakthrough in cultivation, the natal flying sword in the body can be connected to one's own mind.
Then the disciples of the Sword Sect can refine the rough embryo into a sword according to their own ideas. Only in this way can the refined natal flying sword be able to truly move like an arm and use fingers, completely integrated with itself.
Zhao Yijian chose the rough embryo because he wanted to use lightning strike wood.
Because lightning strike wood has been tempered by thunder and lightning, its compatibility is very good, and the material itself is no less than gold and iron.
More importantly, by refining the Lightning Strike Wood into a flying sword, you can capture the lightning properties in the Thunder Strike Wood and put it into your body to nourish your body.
Therefore, Zhao Yijian has been trying to find a suitable lightning strike wood to refine, and he found several pieces before and after, but none of them were suitable.
Only the lightning strike wood in the Death Zone has been struck by lightning all year round. Not only is it made of high quality, but the trace of lightning power contained in it is also spiritual, making it an excellent material for flying swords.
However, Zhao Yijian went to the Death Zone several times but failed to collect the Lightning Strike Wood.
In fact, the threat from the giant apes is relatively small. Go sneakily and don't go deep into the restricted area. The giant apes will generally not come out if they don't feel threatened.
But collecting lightning-struck wood is an unsolvable problem for Zhao Yijian.
Because as long as the lightning strike tree is moved, thunder will inevitably fall in Devil's Valley.
Zhao Yijian's physical skills were average, and it was impossible for him to have time to escape out of the valley after obtaining the lightning strike wood. He almost died in the sea of thunder several times.
In fact, Zhao Yijian is not the only one. There are many people who want the Thunder Strike Wood, and the Thunder Strike Wood in the Death Zone is placed there. However, after so many years, few people can get the roots of the Thunder Strike Wood from Devil's Valley.
This is why Zhao Yijian is willing to trade the flying sword that has been with him for decades in exchange for the lightning strike wood.
"Old Zhao, I can't use your sword even if I take it."
Jing Shizhen thought for a moment and said, "If you want to trade this sword, you must trade sword control skills at the same time!"
"This is impossible!"
Zhao Yijian didn't wait for Jing Shizhen to finish his words, he shook his head repeatedly, "Sword control is a secret that is not passed down by our Qingcheng Sword Sect, how can it be traded?"
Nowadays, the reason why many sects are unwilling to join relevant departments is because of their own inheritance. They don't want the sect's inheritance that has been passed down for countless years to be cut off in their own generation.
The continuation of inheritance is more reflected in the inheritance of skills. For Zhao Yijian to use sword control skills, it is tantamount to digging into the roots of the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
"If we change the conditions, if we change the conditions, sword control is absolutely impossible."
Even if Zhao Yijian wanted to trade sword control, he would not dare, otherwise the old guys from the back of the Sword Sect would definitely come out to hunt him down.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, you guys are boring now."
Jing Shizhen said dissatisfied: "You said that sword control is a secret that is not passed down by the Sword Sect. Well, I wanted to join the Sword Sect before, but you didn't accept me. Wouldn't it be solved if you accepted me? I am a disciple of the Sword Sect.
, you can naturally practice sword sect techniques."
Jing Shizhen, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, had been alone in the past few decades, and the sect had no rules against switching to other sects, so Jing Shizhen had been pestering the Sword Sect for a long time.
"Brother Jing, you and I have similar cultivation levels before. I have no right to accept you into the sect."
Hearing that Jing Shizhen mentioned old things again, Zhao Yijian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's my ancestor who didn't like you. What can I do?"
"Grandma, I am now at the highest level of cultivation, which only shows that your ancestors are blind!"
Mentioning this matter, Jing Shizhen gritted his teeth with hatred. He was also a handsome guy in Hong Kong back then and a genius in cultivation. When he visited Qingcheng, no one took notice of him.
Although this matter has been over for almost a month, Jing Shizhen is still full of complaints when it comes to it.
"Brother respect, don't disrespect the ancestor, the ancestor is still here..."
Zhao Yijian glanced at Jing Shizhen. If he hadn't known his character, he would have drawn his sword at these words.
"Ah? The ancestor is still alive?"
Hearing Zhao Yijian's words, Jing Shizhen immediately shrank her head. The ancestor was almost sixty or seventy years old back then, and he has lived until now. Isn't that one hundred and twenty-three years old?
Unlike the martial arts world, there is no saying that boxing is afraid of young people in the cultivation world, and the older you are, the higher your cultivation level is. Anyway, he Jing Shizhen can never be offended.
"Anyway, if I don't have any skills, I won't change!"
Jing Shizhen frowned and said, "Your ancestors have to be reasonable and can't come and rob me."
Jing Shizhen was really afraid of Zhao Yijian's brutal use. The disciples of the Sword Sect had strong attack power, and Zhao Yijian was one level higher than himself in cultivation. Jing Shizhen had nothing to say if he really thought about it.
"Old Jing, you and I have been friends for decades, why can't we trade for something else?"
Zhao Yijian said patiently: "If you want anything, just ask. Even if it's an extraordinary inner elixir, I'll find a way to get you one. How about it?"
"Neidan?"
Jing Shizhen hesitated after hearing the words, but shook his head, "No, Lao Zhao, my only shortcoming now is my insufficient attack power. I want to make up for it with your sword control skills."
If it had been a few days ago that Zhao Yijian had proposed to use the inner elixir in exchange, Jing Shizhen might have agreed. After all, Aunt Mei would need to use the inner elixir for her next promotion.
However, after making an appointment with Lu'an to clean up the restricted area, the inner elixir is not so urgent. If there are no accidents, master Jing Shizhen and his apprentice should be able to get one.
One insisted on sword control, and the other was not allowed to teach his master's skills to outsiders. For a while, there was a stalemate.
No one else could intervene in the transaction between the two, and they also saw that Jing Shizhen took out the lightning strike wood just for the sword control.
Su Xiaofan saw that this was not the solution, so he immediately said: "Master, Uncle Zhao, I have an idea, do you think it will work?"
"Huh? Are you Lao Jing's disciple?"
Zhao Yijian had not opened his eyes to look at Su Xiaofan before. When he heard this, he looked at Su Xiaofan and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had the highest cultivation level in the field. Su Xiaofan's breath gathering technique was hidden from others, but he saw some clues.
"Yes!" Su Xiaofan also knew that he and Zhao Yijian were at the same level, so it would be difficult to hide it.
"Leading Yi Tou Shi?" Zhao Yijian looked at Su Xiaofan carefully, becoming more and more frightened.
Just now, he thought that Su Xiaofan just looked young, but in fact he was no more than a few decades younger than them.
But upon closer inspection, Zhao Yijian discovered that Su Xiaofan's body, bones and facial development were indeed the age he appeared to be.
Zhao Yijian, a cultivator of the Three Flowers Gathering in his early twenties, suddenly felt that including himself, the ten people in the venue were as old as dogs.
"No, Uncle Jing is my first master."
Su Xiaofan laughed bitterly when he heard this. He knew that once someone saw through his cultivation, there would be trouble.
"Would you like to become a disciple of my Qingcheng Sword Sect?"
Zhao Yijian ignored the eyes of others and said: "Of course I can't accept you, but I can tell my ancestor and accept you as my disciple!"
"ah?"
Su Xiaofan was just thinking about what kind of trouble would come to his door, when he suddenly heard these words and couldn't help but be stunned.
Not to mention Su Xiaofan, even the people watching, except Jing Shizhen and Lu'an, were also a little dumbfounded.
The Qingcheng Sword Sect has always been famous for being strict in recruiting disciples. The Sword Sect doesn't even bother to take a look at it unless it is a peerless genius. Every year, so many children from aristocratic families want to join the Sword Sect, but almost no one can succeed.
It had been twenty years since the Sword Sect had admitted any disciples, so when Zhao Yijian said these words, the scene immediately became excited.
"Brother, let me take a closer look, what are your qualifications?"
Dong Dabin rushed in front of Su Xiaofan and looked carefully up and down. His words even raised his seniority to Su Xiaofan.
Dong Dabin once wanted to send his son Dong Buzhu to Jianzong, but he only took a look at it, and then... nothing happened.
"Uncle Dong, don't make trouble..."
Su Xiaofan pushed Dong Dabin away with a wry smile and said to Zhao Yijian: "Uncle Zhao, my master is here. If I join the Sword Sect, wouldn't I be deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors?"
"Yes, Zhao, what do you mean? Grandma, my disciple is the same generation as you, so what does he call me?"
Jing Shizhen yelled nonchalantly from the side, "Are you kidding me? You are trying to steal a disciple in front of me. Do you really think I have no respect for someone?"
"What you said makes sense."
Zhao Yijian was not the kind of person who was overbearing and unreasonable. After hearing what the master and apprentice said, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Uncle Zhao, I have an idea, I wonder if I can tell it?"
Su Xiaofan didn't say a word just now, so he let Zhao Yijian hold it back.
"Well, please tell me."
Zhao Yijian nodded and added the word "please", which immediately shocked the people next to him. When had a disciple of the Sword Sect ever been so polite when talking to others?
Zhao Yijian curled his lips and ignored the people next to him. Just like a school teacher treats a good student, people from the Sword Sect treat real geniuses with gentleness. The only reason to blame is that the qualifications of others are too dull.
"Uncle Zhao, the lightning wood that Master and I obtained this time can be used to refine about four flying swords."
Su Xiaofan's first words made Zhao Yijian's eyes light up, but Jing Shizhen was stamping his feet anxiously next to him. How could this kid reveal his identity?
"We can give you all these lightning-strike trees for your Sword Sect, all you want is your sword control skills!"
Before Zhao Yijian, who looked embarrassed, could speak, Su Xiaofan continued: "Uncle Zhao can communicate with the sect before making a decision. In fact, it is a good story that both our master and disciple have joined the Sword Sect."
After hearing Su Xiaofan's last words, Zhao Yijian's expression softened. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then wait a moment, I'll make a call."
Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Zhao Yijian hurriedly left the conference room.
Whether it is the lightning strike wood that can refine four flying swords or Su Xiaofan's qualifications, they are extremely important matters to the Qingcheng Sword Sect.
You must know that as a sword training material, thunder strike wood can be integrated into the already practiced natal flying sword. For sword sects, the more high-quality thunder strike wood, the better.
"You brat, what do you think? You've revealed all our secrets, how can we still talk about it?"
Jing Shizhen sent a message to Su Xiaofan, but now he can't figure out what his disciple is thinking about.
"Master, if someone wants our health-preserving skills, will you give it to them?" Su Xiaofan responded with his consciousness.
"Yes, there's nothing I can't give you, but for the skills above Three Flowers Gathering, you have to get started before you can give them."
Su Xiaofan was a little surprised by Jing Shizhen's words. He originally thought that the master would reject it outright.
"The inheritance of our sect actually started from the realm of Three Flowers Gathering. There is nothing that cannot be passed on to those basic skills for beginners."
After seeing Su Xiaofan's face, Jing Shizhen explained: "Actually, the sword-controlling skills I want are just entry-level inheritance, but the Sword Sect is too stingy and won't even give it..."
"Hey, what are you two talking about, master and disciple?"
There is another Sword Sect disciple in the conference room, "Uncle Jingshi, are you holding back something bad and trying to plot against our Sword Sect?"
The person who spoke was only Da Zhoutian's cultivation level, a generation lower than Zhao Yijian, so he didn't have the right to speak in the conversation just now.
"Go, go, go, you still claim to be from a famous family, it's not grand at all."
Jing Shizhen waved his hand angrily, "I have good stuff, and I'm not afraid that no one will replace it. Everyone, how about we get on with it. If you have anything that appeals to me, bring it out."
"Xiao Jing, I can't afford to replace Chenggen's lightning-struck wood, but do you want to change your brand?"
An old man sitting next to Lu'an said: "Three bottles of nine Jingyuan Dan, I will take them back to make a protective magical weapon for my grandson. What do you think?"
Su Xiaofan glanced at the old man, and the old man smiled back. Su Xiaofan immediately understood that this was another expert with three flowers gathering on the second floor and above. He had already noticed that he had cultivated a lot.
"Mr. Wang, if you want it, there's no need to say anything. It's settled. Nine Jingyuan Pills and this piece of lightning strike wood are given to you."
Jing Shizhen was very respectful to this person and sent the piece of lightning strike wood in front of him. The old man took out three bottles of Jingyuan Dan and gave them back to Jing Shizhen.
"Mr. Wang is enshrined by the relevant departments, and his status is still higher than that of Lu'an. Don't offend me when we meet in the future." Jing Shizhen sent a message to Su Xiaofan to explain.
Moreover, Jing Shizhen is not a loser in this deal. Jingyuan Dan is a medicine taken by cultivators in the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. The materials used are extremely precious. Even Lu'an only has one bottle per year.
Mr. Wang took out three bottles at once. In fact, the value was already higher than the piece of lightning-struck wood. This was obviously an advantage that he did not want to take advantage of Jing Shizhen.
"Old Jing, how about I give you ten bottles of Qi Training Pills in exchange for a small piece of Lightning Strike Wood? You can just use it."
"Old Jing, do you want to change the Zhuyan Dan? Your plum fragrance can be used."
After Mr. Wang exchanged for a piece of lightning strike wood, everyone became interested and made their bids one after another.
However, they also knew that Jing Shizhen Chenggen's Lightning Strike Wood wanted to trade with the Qingcheng Sword Sect, so what they wanted to exchange were just scraps.
"Uncle, have you found the meteorite?"
Taking advantage of the moment when Jing Shizhen was surrounded by people, Su Xiaofan moved his chair back and sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to Lu'an.
"It can't be that fast. You are too impatient."
Lu'an shook his head slightly and said through a message: "I have sent people to search for them in various research institutes and geological departments. Once they are found, they will be brought over."
Thinking about it from Su Xiaofan's perspective, Lu'an could understand that he would be anxious about an object that could absorb the energy of the stars.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a group of people waiting for you when you come out of the restricted area." Lu'an comforted Su Xiaofan.
I had no choice but to be soft on others. After practicing all night with the spirit stone in my hand yesterday, Lu'an could clearly feel that the injuries on his body had improved a lot.
Let me chat with you for a few words. I saw that some friends want to read about the city. So this book is really not a pure city. In fact, when I started the book, I wanted to write a pure city similar to Golden Eyes, with some supernatural powers.
But reality slaps me in the face. There are six banned words in one chapter. Damn it. This can’t be fixed. The city is now harmonized so much. Dozens of chapters of Golden Eyes and Genius Telegrapher have been banned.
The ban has not been lifted yet.
And I can’t easily write about those nostalgic campus time travel stories. Whenever I write about women, my subscriptions drop. Well, it’s been like this since Golden Eyes. In the future, I will try to write less about women and increase my subscriptions.
So, it doesn’t matter if it’s a city or something else, as long as everyone thinks the story is interesting, that’s the principle. Reading depends on everyone’s taste. If you like this, just keep reading. If you like it, just write it seriously.
Finally, thank you all for your support, and thank you to the big brother on the list for the reward. I will give you a shout later, haha
