The tall and thin old man hesitated for a while, then nodded.
The two quickly exchanged things, and Liu Ming felt relieved after putting the flaming wooden box containing Yunyangzhi into the Sumeru Ring.
Although he suffered a bit of a loss in this transaction, he could refine the Condensation Pill at any time, and he was very satisfied with getting a spiritual object that could assist crystallization.
The trade fair is still going on, and the appearance of Leng Ning Dan and Yunyang Zhi made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become heated.
But for the following trade fair, Liu Ming was a little absent-minded. Although other things were precious, they were not in his eyes.
After more than half an hour, the trade fair finally came to an end.
When the masked female cultivator sighed and was about to put away the jade bottle on the table that no one had ever cared about, a voice sounded from behind her.
"Wait a minute, fellow Taoist, I want this bottle of jade liquid, but I don't have the inner elixir of the fire toad beast. Please give me a price." It was Liu Ming who stopped the masked man who was about to turn around and leave.
Female nun.
"Sixty... no, five hundred thousand spirit stones." The masked female cultivator was delighted when she heard this, glanced at Liu Ming, and said hesitantly.
A bottle of Qiongyu Liquid costs 500,000 spiritual stones, which is a little lower than the market price.
When Liu Ming heard this, he didn't say anything more. He turned over his hand and took out fifty pieces of high-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.
In this way, the two successfully completed the transaction. The masked female cultivator nodded gratefully to Liu Ming and quickly walked out.
Liu Ming held the jade bottle in his hand, but felt a coolness seeping out of it. After thinking about it for a moment, he put it into the Sumeru Ring.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please stay for a moment."
Just as Liu Ming was about to leave, a deep voice rang in his ears. He looked up and saw that it was Fu Yunzi who was walking over with a smile on his face, followed by the woman in white.
"It turns out to be fellow Taoist Fuyun. I wonder why you are staying here?" Liu Ming frowned slightly and asked calmly.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask if fellow Taoist still has Condensation Pills on him. I would like to exchange some. You can rest assured that fellow Taoist Ye will not let you down in terms of price." Fuyunzi looked at Liu Ming, quite puzzled.
For sincere speech.
The woman in white behind him was also looking at Liu Ming expectantly.
"I may disappoint you two. I only have the six Condensation Pills on my body. You two saw them and have just replaced them all." Liu Ming said apologetically.
"Is it true that you don't have any elixirs in your body, fellow Taoist? Even if it's not a ground-level elixir, it's fine." The woman in white couldn't help but say.
"No more. Those six pills were purchased at a high price in a market a few years ago. If it weren't for the purpose of breaking the crystal bottleneck, I wouldn't be willing to take them out like this." Liu Ming shook his head and sighed.
"Where did Fellow Daoist Ye get the Condensation Pill, can you tell me a little bit about it?" Fu Yunzi asked with a look on his face.
"If you two want this elixir, you can try your luck in Changyangfang City near the Qingmiao Mountains. As far as I know, there seem to be a lot of condensation elixirs that have been circulated there in recent years. There are also many high-quality products." Liu
Ming said calmly.
Hearing this, Fuyunzi and the woman in white suddenly looked at each other, as if they were doubtful.
After all, there has never been a time when pills such as Condensation Pills, which have outstanding effects but are extremely difficult to refine, have appeared in large numbers.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Liu Ming didn't say anything more, bowed his hands to them, and quickly said goodbye and left.
After walking out of the White Jade Palace, Liu Ming pressed the magic formula, and a black light suddenly shot up into the sky.
Liu Ming noticed something strange from the expressions of Fu Yunzi and the two of them. It seemed that the Qianhui Merchant Alliance still had not given up on exploring the whereabouts of the alchemy master who appeared in Changyangfang City that year.
Today, I took out six high-quality condensation pills at once, which obviously aroused their suspicion.
However, he can no longer worry about these things. The most important thing at this stage is to advance to the crystallization stage, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Half a day later, in a side hall of the White Jade Palace, Fu Yunzi in red robe and the woman in white stood facing each other.
"Master, do you think that person is telling the truth?" The woman in white couldn't help but ask after her face was uncertain for a while.
"The man seemed to be hiding something in his words. He probably didn't want to tell us the true origin of the Condensation Pill. But he mentioned Changyangfang City. When the Blue Dome Fantasy Palace was opened, there was indeed an expert there.
The alchemy master of Leng Ning Dan. Maybe he didn't lie to us." Fu Yunzi frowned and thought for a while, then sighed softly.
"Could he be the person that the higher-ups asked us to pay attention to many years ago?" The woman in white seemed to have remembered something, and said this.
"That's right. No matter what, this matter needs to be investigated carefully. After all, the underground condensation pill will be of great help to you to break through the bottleneck and advance to the crystallization stage." Fuyunzi said slowly.
"Thank you, Master, for caring about this matter." The woman in white immediately stood up with joy and said with cupped hands.
…
Not long after, Liu Ming, who had been away from the clan for two years, finally returned to the Wanling Mountains.
However, he did not return to the cave first, but drove the clouds directly to the Pavilion of Life and Death.
The place is still shrouded in light black mist, which is quite eerie. It is in sharp contrast to the bustling crowds elsewhere in Wanling Mountain.
In the attic, the middle-aged deacon was sitting idly behind the stone platform, flipping through a seemingly torn ancient book in his hand.
"Deacon Fang." Liu Ming stepped into the attic door and said hello from a distance.
After visiting the Pavilion of Life and Death several times, especially after coming to pay the heads of the withered monk and others a few years ago, Liu Ming gradually became familiar with this middle-aged deacon.
This person's surname is Fang Lin. Although he has a cold temperament, he is quite a good person. After he paid the contribution points last time, no ordinary disciple of the Taiqing Sect knows that Liu Ming was the one who killed the withered monk.
This indeed saved him a lot of trouble.
"Oh, so it's you. Which evil cultivator did you kill when you came here this time?" Deacon Fang glanced around and found out that it was Liu Ming. He immediately put the book in his hand on the table, stood up, and looked at
He said with a twinkle, as if he was looking forward to it.
When Liu Ming saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He vaguely heard that Deacon Fang hated the evil monks very much. He even gave up the welfare of the inner disciples and came to the Life and Death Pavilion to serve as the deacon. It seems that the rumors are true.
He smiled slightly, put his hand on the stone platform, and immediately several bloody heads and a ball of flesh were lined up on the stone platform.
"Your Excellency, you have a good harvest this time. These are all evil cultivators who are in danger of death. It seems that there are some in the top 100... hmm?" Deacon Fang glanced at these heads one by one. When he saw the ball of flesh and mud,
At this time, his expression suddenly froze.
But the next moment, he suddenly moved his arm, and a finger was instantly touched on the blood mud, and a seemingly ordinary green finger on the finger rolled up. After the glow, more than a dozen green runes fluttered out from it, and it was instantly submerged in the blood.
In the mud.
An incredible situation occurred!
The dark red flesh was wrapped in the glow, and after a while of squirming, it was vaguely restored to a lifelike head, and even the expression of disbelief before death was still retained on the face.
"This...could this be the Blood Emperor's son who ranks first in life and death!" Deacon Fang raised his head in shock and said with a breath of cold air.
"Exactly." Liu Ming calmly met the man's gaze and said without hesitation.
"Okay, very good! Your Excellency is really talented. Even the Blood Emperor is no match for you. This monster has been at the top of the list of life and death for nearly a hundred years. Even if the inner sect's crystal-forming monks take action, they may not be able to do it.
Kill this man. You have finally made a great contribution to our sect this time." Deacon Fang seemed to want to get to know Liu Ming again. He looked at him up and down for a while, then laughed a few times and raised his fingers from the sky.
The head snaps back.
"It's just a chance encounter." Liu Ming replied noncommittally.
"Okay, please bring me the token." Seeing that Liu Ming didn't want to say more, Deacon Fang was naturally very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, and said with excitement on his face.
A moment later, the token on Liu Ming's body suddenly contained 1.05 million contribution points.
"Thank you so much, Deacon Fang. By the way, please continue to keep this matter confidential and don't reveal my name." Liu Ming said, flipping his hand, and crossed out the contribution points on the token to Fang Zhishi.
five thousand.
"Of course, as long as you are willing to spend contribution points, we are naturally obligated to keep it secret for you. This is also one of our rules." Deacon Fang nodded and replied.
Liu Ming smiled, turned around and walked out.
"I would like to remind you that the origin of this Blood Emperor's son is very mysterious. He is not an ordinary evil cultivator. There should be a lot of history behind him. Junior Brother, please be more careful if you go out again in the future." Deacon Fang's voice came from behind.
"Thank you for reminding me." Liu Ming's heart trembled. He turned around, cupped his fists and saluted, then turned around and continued to stride outside the gate.
When he went to Tianma Grassland, although his appearance had changed, he was still followed by Blood Emperor Son and others. It seemed that he would have to find another way to change his appearance in the future.
After leaving the Pavilion of Life and Death, Liu Ming quietly returned to the cave in Luoyou Peak.
In the next few months, except for a trip to Zongmenfang City, he did not go out again. Instead, he stayed in the cave, recharging his energy while doing the final work to advance to the crystal transformation.
preparation.
Six months later, Liu Ming, dressed in the attire of an inner disciple of Luoyou Peak, appeared between the two steep peaks of Wanling Mountain.
Liu Ming was suspended quietly in mid-air, letting the mountain wind flutter his clothes, and looked up to the heights.
But in the high sky between the two peaks, there was a silver-white palace floating in the sky. It was about a hundred feet high. It was made of pure white jade, exuding a faint glimmer of light, and was extremely exquisite and gorgeous.
After Liu Ming's eyes were focused, he saw clearly that there was a large gilt black jade plaque hanging on the main entrance of the palace, with the three characters "Lihe Palace" written in gold paint on it.
