Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 86 The Ghost King Warns
The next day, Yan Yun visited all the large and small shops in Lianyun Village.
This was an opportunity to increase my knowledge. The information I received was much more intuitive than the words and dictations of several senior brothers. Many things I had not heard of or had only a partial understanding of, I gained a clear understanding after observing them.
For example, when distinguishing magical weapons, in addition to being innate and acquired, innate magical weapons also have differences in grade. Generally speaking, magical weapons are divided into upper, middle and lower grades, but even high-grade magical weapons are divided into strong and weak ones.
, this is closely related to the materials used for forging.
The entire system of cultivating immortals is as broad as life in the secular world, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, but it is independent of the secular world and is its own school.
Yan Yun focused on learning about weapon refining, which is one of the special skills of Lianyun Village.
Only then did he realize that if he wanted to successfully refine a brand new Ghost Soul Flag, it was not only because the materials were difficult to find, but also because of the purification and refining of the materials, as well as the success rate of the refining.
There is only one aspect of material purification. Although it follows the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each material has different properties and requires different auxiliary materials for purification, and each purification method has its own advantages.
Yan Yun didn't know whether he knew it or not. When he understood it, he was shocked and felt like his head was spinning.
But the Nether Soul Flag must be refined by him personally, and it cannot be done by others. No matter how difficult it is, he has to start from scratch and learn step by step.
Lianyun Village sells basic books related to weapon refining, and even provides weapon refining rooms and refining rooms for use by low-level disciples who are interested in becoming weapon refining masters, and also sells training materials.
At the same time, after these low-level materials for practicing are purified or refined, they can be sold back to Lianyun Village. If they are purified and refined with excellent quality, you can earn a lot of spiritual stones from these two items alone.
However, during Yan Yun's visit, he did not see anyone entering these places. When he asked, he learned that purification and refining also require talent. Not everyone can earn spiritual stones in this way. Most low-level people can earn spiritual stones in this way.
Immortal cultivators lose all their money during the learning stage, and low-level immortal cultivators are often busy practicing. As time goes by, few people get involved.
The materials for refining the Nether Soul Flag are mainly wood attribute, supplemented by the other four attribute materials, so Yan Yun bought a lot of wood attribute materials and stayed in the refining room for two hours.
Refining the materials turned out to be the same as drawing talismans. It required a lot of effort, but it was not as intense as the former. When he took the refined materials to the shop to buy back, he lost no more than five spiritual stones.
Even so, the disciples from Lianyun Village who guarded the refining room were still full of praise, saying that Yan Yun was extremely talented and had the potential to become a weapon refiner.
When Yan Yun heard this, he could only smile bitterly. Fortunately, he already had a lot of spirit stones in his storage bag, and some of them would be included in today's auction. It would take a low-level cultivator who would usually have a hard time to go up.
This time, I won't do it again even if I'm beaten to death.
But Yan Yun was different. He knew it was a huge pit, so he could only hold his nose and jump in.
He spent a hundred spirit stones to purchase a large amount of wood-type materials. He even assembled a complete set of auxiliary utensils and consumables for refining materials, packed them in a brand new storage bag, and packed them away.
This Lianyunzhai disciple had never seen such a low-level immortal cultivator spending spirit stones so arrogantly before, and he was stunned for a moment.
Yan Yun himself also felt pain in his body, thinking about drawing a few more talismans and earning some spiritual stones. Unexpectedly, the talisman paper originally sold for five pieces of spiritual stones in the grocery store had increased to eight yuan, and even the raw materials for making the talisman paper had also increased.
A rising tide lifts all boats, and when I asked, I found out that the price had actually been raised since yesterday.
As the saying goes, business is based on integrity, and no one can be deceived. Lianyunzhai's business is not only shrewd, but has even reached the point of "robbing people alive". Seeing that a new talisman maker has been born in Xiao Zhongnan, there must be a demand for talisman paper.
If there is a large increase, the price will be raised immediately to earn high profits.
There was still a stack of talisman papers left in Yanyun's storage bag. The need was not urgent, so he had to give up. However, his impression of Lianyun Village dropped a bit.
When he came out of the grocery store, he suddenly became confused and filled with doubts.
Just now, the ghost flag hidden in his sleeve suddenly became hot, and the ghost king he couldn't control took the initiative to contact him.
This is something that has never happened before. According to the ghost king's temperament, it wishes Yan Yun would ignore it.
Yan Yun contacted the Nether Soul Flag with his mind, and saw that the Ghost King had emerged from the mist, looking around like an ignorant child, and occasionally sniffed with his dark nose pointing toward the sky.
This situation only lasted for a few breaths before the Ghost King got into the mist to rest.
Yan Yun originally wanted to open the blood energy map to check, but there were many Lingtai realm monks in Lianyun Village. Will he be noticed by others if he does this?
When he used the blood map in the royal palace, he didn't attract Li Du's attention because there were soul flags everywhere in the palace, and even if he found it, he wouldn't care.
The Ghost Flag is an evil object, and if it attracts attention, it may cause trouble.
No matter what the reason was for the Ghost King's previous actions, they undoubtedly cast a shadow on Yan Yun's heart. He did not continue wandering and returned to the cave in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the light curtain, he was shocked by the smoke of fireworks in the air. He hurried to the attic in confusion, but saw Ji Zhao and Yuantai meditating on the terrace next to the waterfall, and Qing Chan's petite body was standing on his teeth.
Talismans were drawn on the bed, and firelight would appear from time to time. The entire terrace floor tiles were covered with ashes scattered after burning talismans.
Yan Yun didn't say anything to disturb Qingchan and quietly approached.
At this time, I suddenly heard the green cicada say "Ouch", put my left hand on my head, and fell from my gums.
Fortunately, Yan Yun had quick eyes and quick hands, and flew forward to hold her up.
"Junior brother..." Qingchan's face turned pale and she said, "My head hurts..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and passed out.
"Hurry up and pinch people!" It's a good omen shouting.
Yan Yun did as she was told. After a while, Qing Chan slowly woke up. She immediately sat down cross-legged and regained her magic power.
Ji Zhao's complexion was not very good either, like an old farmer who had been working hard all day and his steps were sluggish.
Ji Zhao asked: "Junior brother, did you feel any physical discomfort when you were drawing the talismans?"
"Could it be that the three senior brothers have been drawing talismans in the cave? In my humble opinion, drawing talismans not only requires mana, but also consumes a lot of energy. It is best to control it within two hours each time and rest immediately. Once it exceeds the time limit, you will definitely become dizzy.
.”
"No wonder... what is the success rate of Junior Brother's painting of talismans?"
"About every twelve talismans, seven to eight can be successful."
"That's extremely high. No wonder junior brother has so many sets of talismans..." Ji Zhao felt disappointed and shook his head, "None of the three of us can become talisman makers."
After Ji Zhao and the others gave Yan Yun the pen and inkstone to make the talisman, they had given up hope of becoming a talisman maker. Unexpectedly, Yuan Tai successfully made a wind talisman in front of everyone, which ignited a raging fire in the hearts of the three of them.
.
So, on the morning when Yan Yun was out wandering around, the three of them concentrated on making talismans in the cave. They burned several piles of talisman paper, but failed to draw a few talismans. It could be said that they lost all their money and made themselves exhausted mentally and physically.
Yan Yun said seriously: "Brother, the days are long. When I have some free time, I can give each person ten sets of talismans. Why bother with this?"
Ji Zhao shook his head and said: "How can it be the same? We don't want to disappoint Master..."
When Ji Zhao said this, his little eyes were full of deepness.
"Senior brother, please go and rest. You will be back to normal tomorrow."
The six sets of talismans that Yan Yun handed over to Gong Biao for auction were all drawn in the first night. In the second night, he felt that his energy and energy had not yet fully recovered, so he practiced the exercises all night, and there were more gelatinous mana beads in his Dantian.
Got one.
He found that the mana required for his advancement was increasing exponentially, and the time for advancement was also lengthened. At the current speed, it would take about a month to reach the third level of Qi Condensation.
Just when he sat down on his gums and planned to continue practicing the twenty-four he had drawn, Gong Biao's inquiry came from outside the cave.
"Is Senior Brother Yanyun here?"
"Senior brother is here, what's the point of your visit?"
A cave door appeared on the light screen. Gong Biao was holding a stack of albums in his hand. When he saw Yan Yun, he handed one of the albums to Yan Yun.
Gong Biao smiled and said: "Starting from 1:30pm tonight, Yuzhu Pavilion will hold three consecutive nights of spring auctions. Rare materials from the far north will be auctioned together with our local specialties, as well as magical weapons, spiritual beasts,
Mounts, etc., senior brother is the guest who provides the auction items, and I heard that senior brother has strong financial resources, so I brought a book of drawings for senior brother's reference."
Gong Biao's implication was that he knew about Yan Yun's massive purchase of materials in the refining room to practice his skills. As a low-level monk, he was such a generous purchaser, so he was a rare potential customer.
"Haha, Guizhai seems to think too highly of me."
"That's right. Senior brother's talisman will be auctioned tonight. Please be sure to be there. Once the deal is concluded, I will redeem the spiritual stone for senior brother on the spot."
"In that case, I will definitely be there next time."
At Youshi, the immortal cultivators who were hibernating in the rented caves and various corners of Lianyun Village began to walk towards Yuzhu Pavilion one after another.
Yan Yun and his three senior brothers also left the cave and drifted along with the flow of people.
There are quite a few immortal cultivators hiding in Zhongnan Mountain's remaining veins for hundreds of miles. Those who followed Yan Yun all the way, including the disciples of Lianyun Village, were probably no less than five hundred, and they were all in the Qi Condensation Realm.
Among the low-level immortal cultivators, the first-level Qi Condensing cultivators are the most numerous, accounting for almost half of the number, and their composition is also very complex.
Some are dressed like peddlers and lackeys, others are like outsiders, there are scholars and young ladies, there are also shrews with waists as big as buckets and dog-butchers with sinister faces.
These people are the so-called casual cultivators. They live in the market or are active in the fields all year round. It is really difficult to connect them with monks.
There are not many strange people who are half human and half beast, only about twenty people. Immortal cultivators no longer care about their appearance, and they have no intention of discriminating against strange people. At most, they just look at them twice.
Qi Condensation Realm monks are usually short of money, so they usually go to the auction house to increase their knowledge, or they have whimsical hopes of picking up something.
Yan Yun discovered that among the monks who appeared in public, there was not a single Lingtai realm monk. Like the funny Spring Lotus Fairy and the chubby Ni Shui Zhenren, they all seemed to have disappeared.
He then thought about it, the Lingtai Realm monks had strong financial resources and were the distinguished guests of the auction. Lianyun Village should have made additional arrangements, and they could not be as careless as they were with the Qi Condensation Realm monks.
Yan Yun's idea was quickly confirmed. When he entered the gate of Yuzhu Pavilion, his eyes suddenly opened up, and he found that he was in a giant Xumi space shaped like a lobby.
Before he could see the whole picture clearly, he heard a familiar enchanting voice ringing in his ears: "Handsome boy, are you here too?"
