"Okay." Shen Lang responded, and then said to the monks in the hall: "I'm sorry, everyone, I went out to do business with this fellow Taoist."
The monks in the alchemy stage in the hall were only slightly curious and didn't say anything.
The trade fair is quite free. As long as two people agree, no one has the right to interfere.
After the two reached an agreement, they left the hall, and Xiao Ling'er followed suit.
The maid led the three of them to a private room on the second floor.
Shen Lang and the strong man sat around a rosewood table, and the maid handed over two cups of spiritual tea. Xiao Ling'er still waited beside Shen Lang, entering the role of the maid.
The two exchanged names first. This strong man was also a casual cultivator, named Du Xuan, and had lived on Wuya Island for a long time.
"Fellow Taoist, may I ask you where this star stone came from?" Shen Lang continued the previous topic.
Du Xuan clasped his fists and said: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, in fact, this star stone was accidentally picked up by Du in a ruins when he was traveling. I have always had a strong interest in ancient formations, so I have always kept this star stone.
The star stone is collected."
"Traveling? Where are you traveling?" Shen Lang asked.
"Fifty years ago, I traveled to the barbaric continent in the south of Tianhai. In the deepest part of Shiwanda Mountain, I discovered an ancient ruins. This star stone was found there." Du Xuan replied.
"It's actually in Shiwanda Mountain!" Shen Lang was greatly surprised.
He is relatively familiar with Shiwandashan. When he was teleported from Linhai Tianshan to the wilderness, the teleportation location was Shiwandashan.
"Shiwandashan is very desolate and full of orcs. It doesn't look like a place with ancient ruins?" Shen Lang asked curiously.
"What a coincidence, Taoist friend also knows about the Hundred Thousand Mountains? Haha, in fact, this is just a small interest of Du. In addition to his research on ancient formations, Du is also very interested in the history of ancient times."
"According to Du's research, Shiwandashan was the birthplace of the Monster Clan in ancient times. Therefore, the ancient ruins left behind in Shiwandashan are most likely also left by the Monster Clan in ancient times. The formations of the Monster Clan at that time
Although the craftsmanship is far less advanced than that of human monks, they still have the ability to create some formations." Du Xuan said with a smile.
This was the first time Shen Lang heard this statement, but judging from the tone of this person's words, it seemed that he was not talking nonsense.
"Since Taoist friend's star stone was found in Shiwanda Mountain, do you know that there are similar ruins there?" Shen Lang asked again.
Du Xuan said seriously: "Actually, this is what I want to tell fellow Taoists. The ruins that Du discovered at Shiwanda Mountain were hidden in a mountain pit, and there were ancient restrictions. There was a teleportation array outside the restrictions.
Du picked up the star stone from the wreckage of the Fa. As for the ancient forbidden area, Du couldn't open it despite all his efforts, so he finally gave up. I don't know if this is a clue or not.
Since fellow Taoist want to know, there is no harm in telling you."
Shen Lang's heart moved and he said: "If fellow Taoist can provide the exact location and direction, this will naturally be a clue."
Du Xuan nodded and said: "No problem, but the location of the ruins is really secretive. It will take some time to map out the specific route."
"Okay, when the time comes, fellow Taoist just need to hand over the route map to me. I can hand over the wind-walking talisman to fellow Taoist first. As for the star stone, I will buy another Five Elements Spiritual Stone." Shen Lang said lightly.
Then he handed the silver wind-walking talisman to Du Xuan.
"You deserve it. Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be so polite. The psychic talisman is valuable. Fellow Taoist, just take this star stone!"
Du Xuan took the wind-walking talisman and immediately handed the star stone and the cloth bag to Shen Lang.
The psychic talisman used for escaping was also a rare treasure, and Du Xuan did not dare to take advantage of Shen Lang. He had just seen Shen Lang's strength, and he did not dare to offend such a monk with amazing magical powers.
Seeing that Du Xuan did not take advantage of him, Shen Lang's favorable impression of him increased by one point, and he couldn't help but ask: "I heard that fellow Taoist just said that you have studied ancient formations?"
To be honest, even if he obtained a sufficient number of star stones, Shen Lang was not sure that he could really repair the damaged Nine Palaces Divine Array. He had only considered ideal situations before.
If we can recruit someone who knows the ancient formations to study the Nine Palaces Divine Movement Formation, we will definitely be more certain of repairing it.
"Ashamed, I just have a rough understanding of ancient formations and don't have any brilliant insights." Du Xuan scratched his head and said, looking a little honest.
Shen Lang would not be so stupid as to easily tell Du Xuan the secret of the Nine Palaces Divine Array. After all, there is still Sky Blue Divine Sand in that place.
Before he solved the Jade Phosphorus Demonic Corpse and obtained the Sky Blue Divine Sand, he definitely couldn't let the second person know about this. However, this Du Xuan did have certain use value.
"That's a coincidence. I'm also very interested in ancient formations. I wonder which ancient teleportation formations you know?" Shen Lang asked tentatively.
Du Xuan also immediately understood that Shen Lang was testing him, and couldn't help but talk: "I still know a little about this. Ancient teleportation arrays are generally divided into three categories. The first is a simple one-way teleportation array, such as the Star Square Array
, Ziwu Square Array. The second type is the medium-sized teleportation array, and it seems that the only one that exists in the world today is the Phantom Displacement Array. The last is the large-scale teleportation array, such as the Zhutian Forty-Nine Array and the Nine Palaces Divine Array. There should be some preservation in this world.
, but it’s extremely rare.”
Shen Lang nodded slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked. A monk who didn't have a deep understanding of ancient teleportation arrays would absolutely not be able to name so many ancient teleportation arrays that were lost in this world.
Du Xuan is quite like an ancient scholar.
"To be honest, I purchased the Star Stone to repair an ancient teleportation array. If fellow Taoist can help me repair the teleportation array, I can hand over the leaves of Phoenix Flower to fellow Taoist as reward." In order to prevent the wall from having ears.
, Shen Lang specially sent a message to Du Xuan.
"This ancient teleportation array? Where is it?" Du Xuan's eyes widened with an expression of extreme surprise.
Du Xuan had never heard of the existence of ancient teleportation arrays in Tianhai. When Shen Lang said this, he immediately became very interested.
"I can't tell fellow Taoist this for the time being. Fellow Taoist just reply and say no." Shen Lang said calmly.
"I'm not sure about repairing the ancient teleportation array. I wonder what the damaged state of the teleportation array that my friend mentioned is?" Du Xuan asked.
"The talismans in the center of the formation are all intact, but one corner is broken. Is Fellow Daoist Du confident in repairing it?" Shen Lang asked.
"This is somewhat confident, but I don't dare to make any random guarantees. We still have to see the situation of the formation before we can make a decision." Du Xuan said in a deep voice.
Shen Lang pondered for a while and said: "Let's do this. Fellow Daoist Du, please give me a specific contact information, and I will come to you after I find enough star stones."
Du Xuan hesitated for a while, and then told Shen Lang where he lived. A monk with Shen Lang's strength should not be interested in him.
Furthermore, Du Xuan is really interested in the ancient teleportation array.
