Chapter 210 Don't be surprised, and see you outside the cave
Three days later, it cleared up after the rain.
Zhao Sheng strolled into Qidan Pavilion.
As soon as Fang stepped into the store, he was recognized, and the clerk immediately ran to the backyard to inform the shopkeeper.
Not long after, the short and fat old man came to the front hall at a trot. When he saw Zhao Sheng, he smiled and said: "Senior, you are here just in time. Please come with me. The special envoy has been waiting for a long time."
"Oh, please lead the way."
The short and fat old man nodded in agreement, bowed and led Zhao Sheng to the back, passed through the first courtyard, and came to a unique elegant room.
The short and fat old man said goodbye and left, and the maid served him spiritual tea.
At this time, Zhao Sheng sat on a wooden chair, took a sip of spiritual tea, and looked around at the layout of this elegant room.
But I saw that the walls around the room were made up of dandelions of the same length. There were several pots of gorgeous passion flowers neatly placed in the corners. There was an archaic shelf leaning against the east wall, with more than a dozen strange styles placed on it.
A simple red tripod. In the middle of the room is a round redwood table and several redwood chairs.
Apart from that, there is nothing else. There is a white light curtain hanging at the door of the private room, which should be some kind of soundproofing ban.
Not long after, the light curtain at the door suddenly rippled, and then a big man in red robe broke through the light curtain and walked in from the outside.
The big man in red robe is over ten feet tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. He has a rough face, but there is a strange calmness between his brows. The faint fragrance of medicine cannot hide the elegant aura on his body. Compared with his burly body like an iron tower
, giving people an extremely awkward contrast.
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he saw this person.
He couldn't even see through the other person's depth. This person's aura was like a vast ocean, as ethereal as an abyss, and unfathomable.
Zhao Sheng stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I am a poor Taoist, Cen Hezi, I have met my senior."
"My little friend, there is no need to be too polite. My surname is Qiu and my given name is Chijiu. Those who are familiar with me call me Qiu Laojiu. Those who are not familiar with me, outsiders also call me Master Jiu Chi."
After hearing this, Zhao Sheng's expression changed, and he immediately saluted again: "Junior Cen Hezi, pay your respects to Master Jiu Chi!"
"No need, no need. Sit down quickly!"
The big man was the Nine Chi Master. With a flick of his long sleeves, invisible true energy was sent out, and he easily helped Zhao Sheng up.
Zhao Sheng took advantage of the situation and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that a mere golden elixir would cause the Qidan Sect to send a real person as a special envoy.
Although Qiu Chijiu is just a fake elixir, the fake elixir is also a real person and cannot be hired casually.
When the two of them sat down, Master Jiu Chi got straight to the point and said, "Little friend, do you really want to buy a gold-forming elixir?"
"The Taoist dare not deceive the real person. I am indeed here for the Golden Pill. I just don't know what conditions your sect has to get a Golden Pill?"
"Haha! It is not that easy to buy a gold-binding elixir. This gold-binding elixir is extremely difficult to buy in any market in the Broken Star Sea. Even if it occasionally appears at an auction, there is no guarantee that the price of the elixir will be unknown.
It's as high as heaven. So... little friend Cen Hezi, what kind of treasure can you give in exchange for the golden elixir? I brought one this time." Master Jiu Chi asked with a smile.
"How about one million spirit stones?" Zhao Sheng asked calmly.
"Haha, my little friend seems to be a generous person. Normally, a million spiritual stones can be exchanged for a gold-forming elixir. But nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and a million spiritual stones are just floating clouds. My little friend, please exchange it for another one!" Jiu Chi!
The real person smiled and looked like he was convinced.
"Sir, stop teasing me. You have been testing me from the beginning. I think you had already made up your mind before meeting Pindao. If you have any conditions, just tell me." Zhao Sheng said with a faint smile.
"The conditions are there, but it depends on whether you are qualified or not. Use all your strength, and I will take action!" Master Jiu Chi suppressed his smile and said coldly.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Sheng's thoughts changed a lot, and he had a slight realization in his heart, but the opportunity was rare and he must not let it go.
"please!"
His expression was solemn, and the light in his eyes suddenly surged...
…
After a cup of tea, the elegant room was in a mess and filled with water vapor. The only thing that was still intact in the room was the red wooden chair where Master Jiu Chi sat.
Opposite him, Zhao Sheng looked a little pale, but his breath was stable and the light in his eyes gradually faded.
"Okay! I didn't expect you to be able to hold on to a cup of tea in my hands."
Master Jiu Chi's eyes flashed strangely, and he stood up with a happy face, his eyes full of admiration for Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng calmed down the boiling Qi and blood, and the spiritual power in his limbs returned to his Dantian. At the same time, he calmly said: "Master, I wonder if Pindao is qualified?"
"Of course that's enough! I can exchange it for you in exchange for the Golden Pill, but before that, you have to sign a contract with this sect?" Master Jiu Chi affirmed at first, but then changed the subject.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed a few times and he said softly: "What kind of contract? Can I let Pindao take a look at it first and then make a decision?"
"This is natural!" As he said this, Jiu Chi turned his hand over and threw it again. A golden plate emitting a dull golden light flew out flatly and landed firmly on Zhao Sheng's hand.
Zhao Sheng lowered his head and looked at the gold plate in his hand, and lines of ancient Taiyi spirit writing came into view.
…
Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng left Qidan Pavilion expressionlessly.
In the backyard of Qidan Pavilion, Master Jiu Chi looked to the west with strange eyes. His eyes seemed to penetrate the heavy walls and fell on Zhao Sheng who was walking away. He murmured to himself: "It's really strange. This
The little guy seems to have a lot of secrets. I can barely see through his heels. And...what's going on with those blue eyes? Could it be...another secret laid by the great priest?
?Can he bear it?
No, this matter must be sent to ancestor Lingyuan immediately."
Thinking of this, Master Jiu Chi flashed and disappeared in Qidan Pavilion.
After a while, Zhao Sheng hurriedly returned to the Dome Turtle treasure ship, closed the cabin again, and after setting up a barrier, a golden elixir bottle appeared in his hand.
Zhao Sheng's expression was solemn with a hint of excitement. He picked it up with one hand, and the elixir seal on the elixir bottle flew up with a "bang". A bright golden light suddenly overflowed from the bottle, and then a strong elixir fragrance also came from
It spreads in the bottle.
When Zhao Sheng saw the round, golden pill in the bottle, surprise flashed in his eyes.
Although this gold-formed elixir is low-grade, it is considered lucky to get it so easily. Therefore, even though I signed a hundred-year protection contract and paid nearly one million spiritual stones worth of talisman elixirs, spiritual weapons, etc.
There are a lot of treasures, but Zhao Sheng still feels it is very worth it.
The so-called hundred-year guardianship contract means that after Zhao Sheng is promoted to the Jindan realm, he must serve as the guardian of the Qidan Sect for a period of one hundred years.
The position of protector is common in all major sects in the world of immortality. It usually serves as the foundation of the sect and secretly protects the sect's legal system. It often does not appear in front of others until the moment of critical survival.
The Qidan Sect used the golden elixir as bait to lure foundation-building casual cultivators like Zhao Sheng into forming a Tao-protecting contract.
Not to mention the price,
As long as someone successfully forms an elixir, the Qidan Sect will effortlessly obtain a golden elixir-level combat power, which will increase their luck for hundreds of years.
So far, almost no one knows how many guardians there are in Qidan Sect.
But in history, these guardians have turned the tide many times and saved the Qidan Sect from the brink of destruction.
The Qidan Sect has been doing business like this that only makes a profit but does not lose money for thousands of years.
After a while, Zhao Sheng finished inspecting the golden elixir, sealed it again, and placed it gently on the table, with a look of contemplation on his face.
"One is not enough, it would be best to have a few more. I don't know how the news is spreading now. Before setting off to return, I have to go to Xibi Fang again. It's just..."
Thinking of the shriveled storage bag, Zhao Sheng's expression became uncertain, his eyes sparkling as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, his eyes were fixed, and then he flicked his sleeves, and a small black cauldron flew out. After spinning in the air, it turned into a two-foot-tall three-legged giant cauldron. A red gold fire dragon suddenly appeared.
After walking three times around the tripod, it turned into a ball of blazing golden flames, sank under the tripod and burned quietly. This was the Nine Dragons tripod.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and a pile of bottles and cans suddenly appeared in front of him.
He flipped one hand, and the Thousand-Line Star Algae Fruit instantly fell into his hand. Then he flicked his finger, and the spirit fruit shot out and flew accurately into the alchemy cauldron.
Zhao Sheng pinched the elixir with both hands and unleashed a stream of spiritual power. Then the gold-burning spiritual flames surged, the golden flames filled the cabin, and the temperature in the room quickly increased.
Five days passed by in a flash.
Zhao Sheng walked out of the cabin with the fragrance of elixir all over his body.
At this time, everyone in the Zhao family was waiting outside nervously.
As soon as he saw the person coming out, Zhao Dingda, a registered disciple, immediately came forward to greet him and saluted: "Welcome Master to come out of seclusion."
The others all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Zhao Sheng waved his hand and reassured everyone.
Seeing this, Zhao Dingda asked: "Master, everything has been bought. When do you think we should set off?"
Zhao Sheng frowned slightly and said softly: "Wait for a few days. I have something to do as a teacher."
Upon seeing this, Zhao Dingda immediately nodded in agreement, and others did not dare to have any objections.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Sheng's sword fell into the central square of Xibixianfang.
Without stopping, he turned and walked towards a large drug store adjacent to the square.
…
A moment later, in a private room of the drug store.
Zhao Sheng stood tall and tall, and said with a smile: "Since your store is not available for the time being, I might as well go look elsewhere."
2k
"By the way, this is a pot of foundation-building pills that Pindao has just refined. The shopkeeper has great eyesight. How about you taste it?"
As he spoke, he took out an elixir bottle from his pocket, poured out a fragrant red elixir, and sent it to the white-haired shopkeeper opposite.
"Hey, the Taoist priest can actually refine the foundation-building pill. I just didn't recognize the true alchemy master. Please forgive me for my sin!"
While apologizing profusely, the white-haired shopkeeper carefully took the Foundation Establishment Pill and looked at it carefully, with a look of shock gradually appearing on his face.
Because he found that the fire energy of this Foundation Establishment Pill still existed, and it had obviously only been refined for a few days. What was even more rare was that the quality reached the category of a middle-grade pill.
This is amazing!
"Shopkeeper, if your store still has the Gold-Building Pill in the future, I hope you can keep it for Pindao for a while. This Foundation-Building Pill can be sold to you, so just calculate it at the normal price." Zhao Sheng's expression was calm.
, said calmly.
"Okay! If there is a golden elixir in the future, I will definitely keep it for a period of time, but it cannot exceed one year at most. You must also know that this thing is very hot, and you must not dare to keep it in your hands for longer!"
"Well, I know."
"As long as Taoist priest understands. Please wait a moment. I will come back as soon as I go."
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Sheng left behind a Thousand Miles of Thousand Miles Talisman and a large bag of middle-grade spiritual stones, and Shi Shiran left the shop.
After walking for a while and turning halfway down the street, he ducked into another shop.
In the backyard, the shopkeeper with a horse-like face was smiling, and he patted his chest and promised: "No problem, if there is one yuan of heavy water in the future, our store will definitely save it for the Taoist Priest. By the way, you still have extra Foundation Establishment Pills.
For sale?”
"It's gone for now." After Zhao Sheng smiled faintly, he swept his sleeves and put the pile of middle-grade spiritual stones in front of him into a storage bag.
"Well...in addition to one yuan of heavy water, the Taoist Master may have other needs. Our store has all kinds of talisman arrays, and there will be discounts." The horse-faced shopkeeper deliberately lowered his voice and said seductively.
"You're welcome, shopkeeper. I haven't thought of any other needs for the time being. If I have any other needs, I will definitely come to your store to buy. Well, I have other things to do, so I will stay soon and leave first." Zhao Sheng said goodbye without comment.
Next, Zhao Sheng went downstairs, personally accompanied by shopkeeper Ma Lian.
As soon as he left the shop, he disappeared into the crowd.
In this way, he chose three more well-established shops and did the same thing several times, naturally with the goal of forming a golden elixir or one yuan of heavy water.
Zhao Sheng deliberately exposed the fact that he could refine the Foundation Building Pill.
If it was just a suspicion before, but after what he did today, it became clear.
Several big families on Biluo Island will soon receive the news that a certain late-stage Foundation Establishment monk who is about to form an elixir has arrived on the island. He is also a true Foundation Establishment Alchemist.
Only by showing your own value first can you attract interested people.
Now that the bait has been sprinkled, it will take a while for it to ferment before it appears again.
Half an hour later, Zhao Sheng returned to the treasure ship.
Not long after, the Dome Turtle treasure ship slowly started to move, passing by many ships entering the dock.
After passing through the dense and busy bay, the treasure ship gradually moved away from Biluo Island. The three brand-new sails on the mast were blown high by the wind, and a thin white mask rose up on the surface of the treasure ship.
After a whistle, the Dome Turtle Treasure Ship suddenly accelerated and galloped towards the distant horizon.
During the next month's voyage, Zhao Sheng took action five times and repelled five waves of attacks by medium and large sea beasts.
During the return trip, although there were frequent dangers, no one died in the end.
A month later, the scarred Dome Turtle treasure ship finally returned to the long-lost Dome Turtle Island.
…
The treasure ship returned successfully and the food crisis was resolved. The whole Zhao family burst into joy and there was a scene of celebration on the island.
Zhao Sheng declined the invitation from Zhao Yunxian and others, and returned to Dianjing Mansion as soon as he got off the boat, unable to leave.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the starry night was hazy and quiet.
In the training room of Dianjing Mansion, Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
Because just now, a voice as thin as a mosquito suddenly sounded in his ear: "Don't be surprised, and see you outside the cave! I am the Nine Idiots."
