Chapter 427: One Stroke and One Inkstone, Hanhai Ruins
Although he does not own an ancient treasure, Xie Duanyang is after all a top figure in the art of weapon refining.
??I have also studied many ancient weapon refining techniques, and my vision and experience are extraordinary.
??As soon as his consciousness swept away, he instinctively felt something strange.
??After I personally drew the Zhang Lingfu with an inkstone, I became even more convinced.
??This treasure seems to be complete, but it feels like it has unfinished meaning and is obviously missing some parts.
??Of course, he didn’t dare to say that it would definitely be the case.
??The ancient craftsmanship of refining this Shanhai inkstone has not yet been discovered and is unknown.
??But that doesn’t stop you from using these words to deceive someone.
??“Ah, what do you mean, senior?!”
??I never expected that he would actually say these words. Shopkeeper Futai was stunned on the spot and blinked, full of confusion.
??Looking at his appearance, it seems that he really doesn’t know anything about this.
??Could it be that my guess was wrong?
??Xie Duanyang raised his eyebrows.
??"Fellow Taoist can actually see through the foundation of this inkstone. Sure enough, he has seen people, but he doesn't know which famous sect he comes from?"
??Next to her, the white-haired old woman who had been sitting upright with her eyes closed after entering the room, leaving all business decisions to the shopkeeper, suddenly opened her eyes and said these words.
?? He looked Xie Duanyang up and down, his originally cloudy eyes were shining with indescribable brightness.
??Apparently he has a real interest in his origins.
??An ordinary person born in a small family, even if he is lucky enough to cultivate the pill, his vision will still be short-sighted.
??Many times, even if you have a chance to get some treasure, you don’t know where it belongs and how to use it.
??Like Xie Duanyang, someone who can see the problem at a glance can only be an outstanding figure among the ten major sects of good and evil.
??"Wang's background is nothing, he just read a few more books."
??Xie Duanyang chuckled twice and did not answer, but continued to ask about his Shanhai inkstone.
"Only my ancestor and a few elders know about this matter. It's not surprising that you don't know about it, Master Nephew Hong."
??Actually, there is nothing wrong with the inkstone itself..."
??First he casually explained to the shopkeeper that Zoumalou did not deliberately deceive him, and then the old woman slowly spoke up.
??"This treasure was obtained by my ancestor from Fengluo Island thirty years ago in a forbidden place in Yunsheng Ruins.
??With this inkstone, there is also a talisman pen.
??The sum of each stroke and inkstone is a complete set of ancient treasures..."
??Listening to the old woman's words, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but nodded secretly, believing it somewhat.
??The talisman pen is indeed the best magic weapon to match this inkstone, or conversely, the Shanhai inkstone exists to match that pen.
??And this was not the first time he heard the name Yunshengxu.
??The reason why Bing Wanzhou had a grudge against Mr. Meng was because one of his disciples was refining and killing him with Yin Fire in Yunsheng Ruins, and his soul was not even able to escape.
??There are also some related records about this place in the first floor of the sky.
??At present, the Hundred Islands Alliance is the most powerful in the East China Sea Realm, but its internal management is actually quite loose.
??Many spirit islands only join in name, using this platform to trade with each other and resist the invasion of beasts, but do not really obey its orders.
??But it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a giant sect known as Hanhai Palace that almost ruled the entire East China Sea.
??Of course, the East China Sea here does not include the deep sea where high-level demon cultivators are located.
??Only later, a cutscene broke out between Hanhai Palace and the Monster Clan.
??Hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts surrounded Hanhai Palace, destroying its palace-protecting formation.
??Although this palace was destroyed, the Hai clan's vitality was also severely damaged, and many transformed demon cultivators were killed or injured.
??In the thousands of years that the Monster Clan has been recuperating and recuperating, many original small sects in the East China Sea have developed, plus many monk families who have migrated from inland cultivation circles.
??Since then, the current pattern of establishing the East China Sea has been gradually established.
??The Hundred Islands Alliance, or the main island of Fuzhou, also benefited a lot from the outflow of Hanhai Palace.
??As for the location of Yunsheng Ruins, it is the site of Hanhai Palace in the past.
??The location of this palace was chosen near the eye of the sea. With the help of its endless water essence energy, as well as several Yin evil earth veins and fire veins around it, a large array was built.
??Although the inheritance of Hanhai Palace is cut off, its formation is deeply rooted in the water veins and earth veins, and the binding is extremely deep. It is not so easy to be completely destroyed.
??There are still some parts left that continue to operate.
??On the contrary, because of the loss of restraint, it became increasingly chaotic and turbulent.
??Even the Nascent Soul cultivator can hardly be said to be safe and sound among them.
??The so-called Yunshengxu is the water vapor gathered by the formation, part of which escapes and flows out, and then is evaporated by the underground fire veins.
??Regathered into clouds, entrenched and shrouded the entire site all year round, hence the name.
??In the past, Hanhai Palace controlled the entire East China Sea. It was destroyed so hastily that it had no time to transfer the secret treasure.
??There are countless secret martial arts treasures, elixirs, etc. in Yunsheng Ruins, but it is also a notoriously dangerous place in the East China Sea.
??There are not many people who can escape unscathed and return home with a full load.
??On the contrary, many monks died in it, and they continued to enrich and enrich the treasures, which in turn attracted more monks to explore.
??"I don't know where the talisman pen is now. Since the ancestor of Guidao broke through the restriction and entered, he should have put the two treasures into his bag together?"
??Xie Duanyang asked curiously.
??If one inkstone and one stroke are perfectly matched, the value will be at least three or four times higher.
??Even if he doesn't practice Talisman, he can easily sell it at a high price, and there is absolutely no possibility of splitting it and selling it individually.
??Hearing this, the old woman paused, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and looked towards the shopkeeper again.
??The main thing to do this kind of thing is to observe people’s words and emotions and deal with people.
?? He didn’t understand that there were some inconveniences in this, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to avoid it for the time being.
??"That's not necessary, just Mr. Nephew Hong, just remember this and don't publicize it.
??Fellow Daoist Wang is not a member of the East China Sea cultivator, nor is he a person who speaks out, so there is no need to worry."
?? She said this, but she still raised her hand to release a soundproof mask, and then officially spoke.
??“When the ancestor was collecting the treasure, a junior Danjie happened to trigger the restriction and was teleported nearby, and then left after grabbing the treasure.
??The ancestor had the intention to use Dafa to punish this person, but there were dense restrictions and magical powers that could not be used, so he was allowed to escape."
??After listening to her words, Xie Duanyang completely understood why the old woman was like this.
??No matter how he tries to justify it, the fact that the ancestor of Fengluo Island is a Nascent Soul and the ancestor of a sect in the East China Sea, yet he is being snatched away from him right under his nose by a younger generation cannot be faked.
??Since there is only an inkstone now, it means that the other party is still living freely and freely after all these years.
??It is really embarrassing to spread the word. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a great shame and a great humiliation.
??I’m afraid he will feel disgusted when he sees this square inkstone.
??As for the shopkeeper of Zoumalou, he regretted not leaving decisively just now, only to hear such a thing.
?? From that person, Xie Duanyang actually felt that he was somewhat similar to Han Li.
??I was curious for a moment and couldn’t help but ask for his name.
??But I heard an unexpected and reasonable name.
??The blue sea piano demon, the piano has no life.
??It seems that he gained a lot from Yunsheng Ruins and got a lot of benefits.
??Not long after getting rid of the pursuit, he quickly broke through to the late stage.
??It was around this time that its whereabouts became very secretive. The dragon often appeared but rarely disappeared, and rarely stayed in one place for a long time.
??Obviously he knew that he had offended Patriarch Feng Luo too harshly, and was worried that his traces would be traced.
??"It's interesting. I wonder if I will see him before leaving Donghai."
??Xie Duanyang's thoughts were flowing in his mind, and many thoughts came to his mind.
??He had a weird intuition that he might meet him face to face one day in the future.
??But compared to this, Xie Duanyang was more thinking about whether he still kept the talisman pen.
??And is it possible for me to get it and put together a set with the inkstone?
??It’s not that he is whimsical.
??The monks from the East China Sea have never heard that this Blue Sea Qin Demon is good at making talismans. In that case, he would not be of much use if he kept it.
??And his natal magic weapon, the invisible seven-stringed harp, was made with the help of Luo Gui, so it can be considered a friendship.
??And Luo Gui is now his nominal senior brother.
??Isn’t this connection already established?
??Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to get this inkstone, otherwise everything will be lies.
??After hearing these secrets, the shopkeeper was obviously a little uneasy and found it difficult to calm down.
??In addition, he knew that Xie Duanyang was an expert, so he gave up the lion's idea and quoted a fair price.
??Of course, as an ancient treasure, this item still costs a lot of money.
??The hundreds of demon pills I took out earlier are still slightly insufficient after conversion, and I need to add more spiritual stones.
??After all, those pills are mainly for monks who are in the late stage of foundation building or even Qi training. They are not very effective, otherwise he would not decide to trade them easily.
??“Do you still owe some spiritual stones?”
??Xie Duanyang touched his chin with his hand, smiled suddenly, raised his hand again and threw out the bottle.
??"You two Taoists, why don't you take a look at how much this thing is worth!"
??"This is……"
??Pull the cork off the bottle and pour into the palm of your hand an elixir that is completely blue but has a faint red glow.
??After careful inspection, the shopkeeper took a deep breath and asked in disbelief.
??"Senior, could it be that you want to take these five foundation-building pills and sell them to this building?"
??Although this pill is only for Qi training disciples to swallow, it increases the probability of building a foundation by 10 to 20%.
??But this item is an elixir that breaks through a big bottleneck. Its value and refining difficulty are no different than the elixirs that monks usually use to increase their magic power.
??With the addition of five Foundation Establishment Pills, buying this Fang Shan Hai Inkstone is no longer a problem. Zouma Lou also has to attach some spiritual stones to him.
??Seeing that he no longer had the things he liked, Xie Duanyang took his leave after accepting the inkstone, which disappointed the shopkeeper who wanted to stay longer and took the opportunity to make friends with the alchemy master.
??Having harvested the first ancient treasure in his life, he did not go out to buy other things today. Instead, he simply rented a cave in the spiritual inn on the island with this look on his face.
??Xie Duanyang can't wait to test it out.
??Entering the cave, he routinely releases his spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding area.
??Only this time, no formation was set up, but the glazed lamps and the Blood River Flag, two magic weapons of good and one evil, were set up one after another to cover the cave.
??He took out the inkstone from his storage bag and cast it to the size of a washbasin.
??Crush a piece of Wanling Blood Crystal carefully and pour it into the spiritual water to dissolve it.
?? Then extract several kinds of spiritual herbs and mineral essences, put them into the pool together with the spiritual blood, and prepare spiritual ink on the spot.
??After waiting for half an hour, feeling that the properties of the spiritual ink were stabilizing, Xie Duanyang picked up a talisman pen and started writing and sketching on the cut animal skin.
??In the beast tide, in addition to blood essence, he also gained a lot of animal skins and bones.
??Although many of them will be used to sacrifice magic weapons, there are still many left.
??Of course, he did not forget to activate the Fire-Fixing True Eye Technique and the Taixu Mirror early on.
??Record all the subtle changes from the time of mixing the spiritual ink.
??Another three days passed, and Xie Duanyang walked out of the cave carrying a storage bag.
??Only heading to the middle road of Fangshi, he quietly changed his body shape and face, turning into the appearance of a middle-aged scribe with a long beard, and detoured to another large shop.
??This time, it is not the elixir, but the part of the talisman that has been drawn for several days.
??However, after all, the value of the talisman was not as good as that of the elixir, and the amount he took out was also much smaller.
??A few hundred spiritual stones were affixed to it, and only then could I get two fifth-level demon pills.
??The large-scale sale of demon pills still depends on the Mirage Fair, so he did not continue to change his identity, but returned to the cave.
??From time to time, I go to see Chi Tianyang and Zhou Gui to ask for advice on cultivation and weapon refining.
??Occasionally he met with Mrs. Qingzhu to convey the progress of Xia Yang's alchemy.
??Many people came to visit him, one of the few masters of weapon refining in the alliance.
??My life was happy and fulfilling.
??Ten days have passed since then, and the Hundred Islands Alliance Trading Conference has officially begun.
??I wonder if his recent performance satisfied the Chi Hall Master. With a wave of his hand, he actually took him and Luo Gui to the Nascent Soul Field with him.
??Of course, Chi Tianyang didn’t think that Xie Duanyang could snatch anything from the old Yuanying monsters.
??The main purpose is to publicly establish his identity as a disciple for interested people to see, to show that the entire lineage of the Weapon Refining Hall is under his control.
??Many of these thoughts, Xie Duanyang has been away from the core of power of the Hundred Islands Alliance for a long time, so it is difficult to guess them all.
??However, it is also an opportunity for him to gain a lot of experience.
??Not to mention anything else, there are already several ancient treasures from ancient times.
??You must know that although ancient treasures occasionally appear in the alchemy field, there are only three or two pieces in the entire transaction, and the quality and power are far from comparable to them.
??In fact, although Xie Duanyang is only in the early stage of elixir formation, his status as a master of weapon refinement has added a lot to his status.
??In terms of qualifications, he is barely enough to participate in the Nascent Soul Field.
??It’s just that he has only joined the Hundred Islands League for a short period of time, and his accumulated merits and contributions are not enough, so he has not been mentioned yet.
