Volume Four: Taiqingmen 544 The Birth of a Spirit Insect
When the young woman in red saw this, she first checked the leather bag and confirmed that there were a hundred high-grade spiritual stones in it. Then she picked up the jade box and opened the lid, which was neatly placed inside. There are four elixirs with a faint green light.
"This is... Condensation Pill, and they are all high-quality pills!" The young woman in red is a worshiper at the auction house, so she is naturally a very knowledgeable person. She recognized the origin of this pill after a quick identification.
Each of these emerald green elixirs has four obvious elixir lines and exudes a refreshing fragrance. They are genuine and genuine cold condensation elixirs.
"Yes, it's this pill." Liu Ming said expressionlessly. He didn't have enough spirit stones on his body, so he had no choice but to take some condensation pills to trade off the price.
The young woman in red had an excited expression on her face, and her expression suddenly changed slightly, as if she remembered the recent rumors in the market.
"Why, aren't these elixirs enough? As far as I know, one of these high-quality condensation elixirs is worth at least five hundred thousand spiritual stones, and four of them can just compensate for the two million." Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and said coldly. .
"Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. That's not what I meant. The value of these four pills is of course enough." The young woman in red woke up when she heard this and said with an apologetic smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll clear the money and goods, and I'll take away the ten thousand years of blood essence." Liu Ming said, and put the gourd container on the table into his sleeve robe, and stood up at the same time. , and wanted to walk out.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay here. I wonder where these elixirs...fellow Taoist got them from?" When the young woman in red saw Liu Ming leaving, she quickly chased after him and asked urgently.
"Why, your auction house collects collateral. Do you still need to inquire about the origin of the things?" Liu Ming slightly tilted his head and said with a cold expression.
"No, I'm just asking casually." The young woman in red said with a forced smile on her face.
"I bought this elixir from a shop. I have nothing else to say." After Liu Ming said this, he stopped looking at the young woman and strode out.
This kind of disrespectful attitude made the young woman in red very angry. After Liu Ming's figure completely walked out, her mood gradually calmed down.
After standing there for a moment, the young woman in red suddenly put away the leather bag and jade box on the table, turned around and walked to the other side of the hall.
Liu Ming walked out of the side hall and stood in a passage leading to the auction venue. Seeing that no one was catching up behind him, he breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly.
From the change in the expression of the young woman in red, he knew that the Qianmeng Chamber of Commerce must also be investigating the matter of condensed pills in Fangshi.
Just selling four high-grade condensed pills like this must have aroused their suspicions. But for the sake of the essence and blood of the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Turtle, he couldn't care about this much at the moment.
Moreover, with the strength of the Qianhui Merchant Alliance, there are countless alchemy masters in it. Even though Leng Ning Dan is relatively unpopular, it will not cause the other party to actually do anything to destroy their reputation.
What's more, he has changed his appearance to participate in this auction, and his worries are naturally less.
While he was thinking, the sound of footsteps came, interrupting Liu Ming's thoughts.
"Senior, the transaction has been completed?" The person who came was the attendant in green who just met Liu Ming. He bowed quickly.
"Well, is the auction over?" Liu Ming asked with a slight smile.
"The final auction is now underway..." the attendant in green said, and a crisp voice came from the other side of the venue.
"Eight million spirit stones!" It was the voice of the purple-clothed girl before.
Liu Ming nodded to the attendant in green clothes and quickly walked out.
At the venue, the purple-clothed girl from the Ouyang family and the True Alchemy Realm expert named Qing Jushi were still bidding fiercely, and the price had already been raised to over eight million.
Liu Ming had something on his mind and seemed oblivious to the fiery atmosphere at the venue. He raised his head and glanced at the entrance of the venue.
But seeing that the door to the auction was tightly closed, it seemed that it would not be opened until the end.
While everyone's attention was focused on the auction in the venue, Liu Ming quietly walked to the entrance, found a seat and sat down as if nothing had happened, quietly waiting for the end of the conference.
After another quarter of an hour, the auction finally came to an end. The purple-clothed girl from the Ouyang family finally beat the green layman and the young man in green robes at the sky-high price of 9.3 million spiritual stones, and finally bought the prototype of the magic weapon Luo.
Feather knife.
The fair middle-aged man then made another impassioned speech before announcing the end of the auction.
As the door of the venue opened with a rumble, Liu Ming immediately stood up and mingled with the crowd of people, and quickly left the auction hall.
Along the way, he wandered in and out of some alleys, and at some point he disguised himself as a horse-faced man and left the city.
After Liu Ming was sure that no one was following him, he found a deserted place, transformed back into his true self, took a detour and entered Fangshi through the gate on the other side, and quietly returned to Bailian Pavilion.
In the third-floor secret room, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a yellow futon and was carefully looking at a translucent gourd-shaped container about an inch high in his hand.
There was a strange purple rune mark engraved on the gourd, and inside there was a small half-gourd of golden liquid, which was exactly the ten drops of ten thousand-year-old spirit turtle essence blood that he exchanged for five earth-grade elixirs at the auction.
After observing for a while, he took out a jade box from his chest, took out the insect egg of transformation consciousness, gently held it in his hand, then closed his eyes, and slowly poured mana into the Huntian Monument in the sea of consciousness.
middle.
The next moment, there was a buzzing in my ears, my vision went dark, and I entered the mysterious space again.
"Senior Luo Hu." In front of Liu Ming, a young man in a green robe was standing in front of him with a calm expression.
"I didn't expect you to get the essence and blood of the ten-thousand-year-old turtle so quickly. There are still ten drops. It seems that hatching the eggs of the transformation consciousness shouldn't be a problem." Luo Hu said calmly.
"I hope senior can tell me how to prepare and use the essence and blood of this ten-thousand-year-old turtle." Liu Ming bowed slightly and asked directly.
When Luo Hu heard this, he did not answer, but raised one hand, and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve and shot towards Liu Ming.
Liu Ming stretched out his hand to catch the jade slip and put it on his forehead without saying a word.
Lingcao, blue water liquid, flower grass, yin fruit...
What was recorded in the jade slips were clearly the auxiliary materials for preparing the spirit-replenishing liquid, but most of them were materials commonly found in the market, and it was obviously not difficult to collect them.
"If you have nothing else to do, please come back." Luo Hu said, raising one hand slightly to drive Liu Ming out of the mysterious space.
"Senior, please wait a moment, the demonic energy on this consciousness insect. Please be sure to exorcise it again." Liu Ming said hurriedly, fearing that Luo Hu would drive him away again the next moment.
Only then did Luo Hu open his eyes and stand up.
"If you don't tell me, I would have forgotten. It has been several months since I last absorbed the real demon's energy. The real demon's energy on the eggs of this consciousness should have recovered. Bring it." Luo Hu glanced at Liu Ming,
He said expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ming stretched out one hand forward and spread his fingers, revealing the insect eggs in his palm.
Luo Hu just moved his fingers slightly, and the insect eggs flew up from Liu Ming's hand and slowly fell into his hand.
Then he used some secret technique like last time to collect the demonic energy on the insect eggs into his sleeve.
"Okay, you can go." Luo Hu moved his index finger slightly and flicked the insect egg. The egg flashed in the void and then quickly shot into Liu Ming's hand.
Before Liu Ming could say anything, he felt a gust of wind coming, and the next moment, the scene in front of him was blurred. He returned to the secret room.
"This Luohu's behavior is really unpredictable." Liu Ming said to himself, then closed the secret room and left the secret room.
Now all we need to do is gather the auxiliary ingredients to prepare this qi-replenishing spiritual liquid.
Just one day later, Liu Ming collected some other supplementary materials from several medicinal material shops and returned to the secret room on the third floor of Bailian Pavilion.
After some preparations, Liu Ming immediately sat cross-legged and began to prepare the essence liquid according to the method described on the jade slip.
He first mixed and ground some dry ingredients and put them in a small bowl. Then he poured in a little blue water as a medicine to make a bowl of blue-brown medicine. Finally, he took out the small purple gourd and put the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Turtle into it.
Essence and blood slowly dripped into it.
There was a sound of "呲".
A drop of golden blood essence dropped into the small bowl in front of him, and the originally calm blue-brown medicine liquid suddenly appeared with ripples and a faint golden light.
As all ten drops of essence and blood were integrated into it, the blue-brown medicinal liquid suddenly turned into golden brown, and the golden light became somewhat dazzling. At the same time, streams of warm air shot out from the surface of the spiritual liquid.
Liu Ming curiously touched it with a finger, and immediately a wave of heat seeped into his body from his fingertips, and quickly rushed through the meridians, making his whole body and limbs feel comfortable.
Liu Ming felt happy in his heart and hurriedly activated the magic arts. After a while, the warmth gradually dissipated and his body returned to calm.
At this time, the magic power in his body seemed to have increased slightly, as if he had just taken a tonic.
This essence liquid is indeed extraordinary, just a slight touch can have such an effect.
Liu Ming was satisfied, and without saying a word, he immediately took out the insect eggs and carefully put them into a small bowl to soak.
As soon as the insect eggs were immersed in the golden brown liquid, thread-like golden water vapor poured into the body desperately. The eggs suddenly seemed to be alive and slowly swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After this phenomenon lasted for about half a cup of tea, the eggs finally stopped absorbing water vapor and became somewhat bulging, floating quietly in the water.
Liu Ming did not leave the secret room, but sat aside with anticipation, quietly observing the subtle changes in the eggs in the small bowl.
After a few days, although the insect eggs no longer absorbed the filamentous water vapor, under the warmth of the spiritual liquid, the color of the surface of the insect eggs gradually changed from light cyan to light gold.
A few more days passed.
Then there was an inaudible crisp sound of "Crack".
A slender crack suddenly appeared on the side of the insect egg in the small bowl, and then a light golden transparent insect the size of a thumb knuckle struggled to crawl out of the crack and swallowed up the golden spirit liquid.
.
When Liu Ming saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He did not disturb Xiao Chong and continued to observe.
