Bai Ran tilted his head, glanced coldly at the two alchemy monks, and immediately swallowed the words that the man had not yet fully spoken out of fear.
They were two strange middle-aged monks, whom Bai Ran didn't know. He didn't know which sect they belonged to.
At this time, the shopkeeper and two clerks in front of Bai Ran had been directly pressed to the ground by the huge spiritual pressure close at hand, unable to move at all.
Their faces were full of horror. When they heard that Bai Ran was actually a Yuanying monk, they were even more frightened. They hurriedly opened their mouths and wanted to beg for mercy. But the three of them were as heavy as a mountain and couldn't even breathe. How could they open their mouths?
Just half a sentence.
The monks all around also looked pale, and some timid monks who were afraid of causing harm to the fish pond had already quietly retreated.
Sun Huo, who was standing behind Bai Ran, did not feel any strange except that he was also forced to take a few steps back due to Bai Ran's special care.
But when he recognized Bai Xun, his expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward to pay homage and said respectfully:
"Disciple Sun Huo, see Master Bai."
Bai Ran ignored the three people in front of him, turned around, glanced at the half piece of talisman paper held in Sun Huo's hand, then nodded and said:
"It seems like you already know my current identity without me having to say anything more."
"I didn't know the true identity of my master back then, and I made many arrogant remarks. I hope my master will forgive me!" Sun Huo thought of his disrespectful treatment of Bai Ran in the Holy Land, and felt very uneasy. He honestly apologized to himself first.
Fan.
"I haven't become an elder of our sect back then, so I won't blame you or anything. But you have this remnant talisman in your hand, which seems to have some connection with me." Bai Ran stared at Sun Huo and said slowly.
"Remnant Talisman, could it be that the master is..." Sun Huo was stunned for a moment, and he was overjoyed and wanted to say something else, but a silver rainbow flew from a low altitude in the distance.
"We'll talk about this later." Bai Ran waved his hand to stop Sun Huo's words. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the escape light in the distance.
The only monks who can escape without being affected in Tiantian City are naturally the law enforcers of the Nine Nations Alliance.
They are responsible for the order of the entire Tiantian City Trade Fair.
Naturally, Sun Huo did not dare to say any more and immediately stood there with his hands tied.
But he couldn't suppress his excitement in his heart, and the palm holding the talisman became even more cautious.
At this time, the Jinghong's brilliance dimmed in front of Bai Ran, and an old man with yellow hair appeared. He looked like he was in the middle stage of pill formation. There was a golden sword embroidered on his chest. He was the law enforcement officer.
's logo.
The old man flew over from a distance, and he naturally sensed the amazing momentum Bai Ran had just released.
But it was my duty, so I had no choice but to come here despite knowing that there were Nascent Soul Stage monks showing off their power.
But when he saw Bai Ran standing motionless in the middle of the street, he clasped his hands and said:
"Junior Wu Fei, the law enforcement envoy of Tiantian City, I don't know why the senior is angry, but there is something I can do for you." This law enforcement envoy was naturally extremely polite when facing a Nascent Soul monk.
"It's nothing. I just passed by here and heard that the shop owner in Guicheng had some complaints about our Luoyun Sect, so I wanted this fellow Taoist to say it again in front of Bai." Bai Ran put his hands behind his back and said coldly.
"Ah! This must be the shopkeeper's nonsense. How dare the three of them offend the senior? Why don't you three go over and apologize." When the old man heard what Bai Ran said, he felt a headache. The reputation of the sect was affected like this.
It is difficult to explain clearly whether something is big or small. Therefore, after giving some words of comfort, he immediately scolded the three shopkeepers with a straight face.
Bai Ran had already put away his spiritual pressure, so the three people were finally able to get up from the ground tremblingly. When the shopkeeper heard this, his face turned pale and he immediately said:
"Senior, this junior just made a slip of the tongue. I never meant to be rude to your sect. I would rather not compensate for the Fire Cloud Talisman that my Taoist friend damaged just now. I just think of it as an apology to my senior."
Bai Ran frowned after saying this, and instead of softening his expression, his face became even darker.
"What, do you think I am standing here to take advantage of you? First let me see if the Fire Cloud Talisman in your box is really a talisman made by the master. If it is true, I will naturally take over the ancestral home.
This disciple will compensate you for the spiritual stone. But if not, hey!" Bai Ran said with an unkind sneer.
"Senior, you don't need to look at it. My Fire Cloud Talisman is just an ordinary talisman. I'm willing to accept the punishment." The shopkeeper was quite clever, and before Bai Ran actually took the wooden box to look at it, he immediately revealed his short words.
After hearing this, Bai Ran said nothing and just glanced at the law enforcement officer on the side.
When the old man saw this situation, he didn't know what to do. He immediately bowed slightly and said:
"Senior, please rest assured that this shop owner is so unruly. I will punish you severely and I will definitely give you an explanation."
"Now that I have said that, it's up to you to handle it. I don't have time to really care about such trivial matters. Sun Huo, come with me!" After Bai Ran said it calmly, he flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Sun Huo.
Next to them, a dazzling yellow light flashed. The two figures disappeared from the ground out of thin air.
The nearby monks were amazed for a while. Naturally, few of them had ever seen such a magical earth escape technique.
When the old man saw this, he was really relieved. However, he looked back at the three shopkeepers who were also relieved, and scolded him with a cold face:
"You three, come with me. Tell me what happened just now honestly. We can't just let it go."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face suddenly became sad...
... Behind a secluded and deserted stone house, the figures of Bai Ran and Sun Huo emerged in the yellow light.
"It's right here. Take out the half piece of talisman paper and let me see it." Bai Ran gave Sun Huo a thoughtful look before saying.
"Yes, Master!" Sun Huo didn't hesitate at all and immediately presented the talisman with both hands.
Bai Ran took the talisman paper with one hand, glanced at it for a moment, then silently flipped his other palm, and an extra half of the talisman paper came out. Then in Sun Huo's unblinking gaze, Bai Ran
Then he put the two pieces of talisman paper together, and the cracks were completely matched without any gaps.
The last worry in Sun Huo's heart disappeared without a trace, and he bowed his head to Bai Ran without hesitation.
"Sun Huo pays homage to the master."
Bai Ran's expression remained unchanged, and after nodding, his hands glowed red. The two pieces of talisman paper turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
Sun Huo was shocked, but calmed down immediately.
Seeing this situation, Bai Ran was quite satisfied with his concentration.
"It seems that you are really a descendant of Sun Ergou. But don't rush to call me master first. First tell me which generation of his descendant you are?" Bai Ran asked calmly.
"The villain is the seventh-generation great-great-grandson of our ancestor." Sun Huo replied without thinking.
"Back then, Sun Ergou swore that the Sun family would serve me as their master for generations since him. But due to some special reasons, I was not in Tiannan back then. So you Sun family have never really been my servants.
I have not provided any protection to your Sun family. Now that you have entered the world of immortality as a descendant of the Sun family, the vows made back then may not count. But considering the kindness of your ancestors back then, I can give you
You two choose a clan."
"One is that I directly give you some benefits, such as some pills or magic weapons. But from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't expect how I will take care of you in the future. The other way is that you are still willing to inherit the legacy of your ancestors.
I swear, you will continue to serve me as your Lord. But I will plant restrictions on you to ensure that you will not betray me. At the same time, I will also surrender to you.
There may be some dangers in doing some things. But as compensation, I will try my best to improve your cultivation, give you guidance on your cultivation, and provide you with some benefits that you can't imagine. I will not treat you badly.
I guess as long as your qualifications are not too bad, there is still hope for forming pills." Bai Ran raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly.
After hearing these words, Sun Huo's face was uncertain, and there was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes. Obviously these words were beyond his expectation, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
After a while, a look of determination flashed across Sun Huo's face.
"Master, I..."
"There is no need to answer me in a hurry. In order to prevent regrets, it is better to wait until the trade fair is over and return to the sect before giving me an answer. During this time, you have thought about the pros and cons, and after you have really thought about it, come to the cave to find me."
Bai Ran unexpectedly interrupted Sun Huoxia's words and said calmly.
"Disciple, I obey, thank you Master for your understanding!" After thinking about it, Sun Huo felt that this was more appropriate and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay. I have other important things to do. Just take care of yourself!" Bai Ran nodded with a relieved expression, and the person disappeared again in the yellow light.
Sun Huo did not leave here immediately, but lowered his head and pondered for a long time before slowly walking away with a long sigh.
At this time, Bai Ran had appeared in front of the attic where he lived. He looked up at the completely dark night, and a strange look flashed across his face. When Bai Ran entered the attic, Mu Peiling was on the first floor of the attic.
I was meditating in the hall. When I saw Bai Ran come in, I immediately stood up and said hello with bright eyes. Her graceful figure was revealed under her crotch.
Bai Ran waved his hand to let him get up and said:
"When I'm not here in the future, you don't have to wait for me here. During the trade fair, it's not convenient for me to be with you. You can act on your own. There is a pair of soul matches here. You can wear one of them on your body. If you meet
For important or dangerous matters, just inject spiritual power. Not only will a protective spiritual shield be produced, I will be able to sense it even if I am thousands of miles away."
After saying this, Bai Ran took out a pair of blue jade pendants from his body and handed one to the woman. "Thank you for the reward, young master!" Mu Peiling was startled at first, and then a flash of light flashed across her jade-like face.
Blushing, she agreed in a low voice. She took the jade pendant and hung it on her waist and skirt.
After Bai Ran told Mu Peiling to go back to the house to rest, he walked to the second floor of the attic.
The woman looked at Bai Ran's figure walking up the stairs, lowered her head and fiddled with the jade pendant around her waist, revealing a complicated look on her face.
Bai Ran found a random bedroom on the second floor of the attic, closed his eyes and meditated on the bed.
But after resting for more than an hour, Bai Ran opened his eyes again. He turned to look at the night outside the window and murmured to himself.
"It's almost time. It's time to visit that person."
As soon as he said this, Bai Ran immediately got out of bed and left the bedroom.
He quietly left the attic and headed directly to a familiar place in Tiantian City.
Not long after, Bai Ran appeared in front of the building he had just visited during the day.
Looking at the plaque with three gold characters "Jinglong Pavilion" on the door, he touched his chin, glanced into the darkened door, and walked in without hesitation.
"Welcome fellow Taoist to visit our pavilion again! I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Bai is really punctual. It's just at the appointed time." When Bai Ran entered the attic, the whole room suddenly became bright and bright, and the real Tianjing looked like what he had seen in the daytime.
Like that, I sat behind the long table and looked at him with a smile.
"Since it was Bai who took the initiative to make an appointment with the real person, how could I be late? Judging from the real person's appearance, it seems that he has been waiting for some time, and I'm really scared!" Bai Ran said calmly, then brushed back with one hand, and a puff of air flowed out.
The invisible force pushed the attic door gently and closed it on its own.
Master Tianjing smiled softly after hearing this, and then said:
"When my Taoist friend left during the day, he suddenly sent a message to the poor Taoist saying that he still had the soul stone in his hand. I wonder if this was true or not?" After asking this question, the old Taoist narrowed his eyes, as if he didn't believe it.
Bai Ran didn't reply immediately. He patted the storage bag with one hand and flipped his palm over, revealing a crystal the same size as the daytime soul stone. It was green and exuded an astonishing yin energy.
Bai Ran looked at Lao Dao without saying a word.
"What fellow Taoist said is indeed true. I wonder how many soul stones of this quality Brother Bai still has in his hands. I am willing to exchange them all. Spirit stones and materials? Fellow Taoist, just ask!" Master Tianjing said.
Seeing that Bai Ranzhen still had such a level of soul stone, a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he said impatiently.
"Fellow Taoist Tianjing, don't be so anxious. When I take out the soul stone this time, I naturally intend to make a deal with Brother Taoist. But before that, I need to ask fellow Taoist two questions clearly. As long as I let Mr. Bai
If you are satisfied, I will give you this soul stone as a gift." Bai Ran said calmly, and threw the soul stone in his hand to the other party without changing his expression.
Master Tianjing caught the soul stone with some surprise. He glanced at the thing in his hand, with a look of surprise on his face. After being silent for a while, he sighed and said:
"Fellow Taoist is really generous! It seems that the question asked is definitely not simple. However, as long as it can be answered, Pindao will definitely satisfy Taoist Bai." After saying this, Master Tianjing carefully placed the soul stone.
He put it away and regained his calm look on his face.
"Since the real person said this, I'm sorry for you. I don't know if you know the news about the Gengjing. When I mentioned the exchange for Gengjing information at the exchange meeting, the real person looked a little strange. I should know something.
." Bai Ran asked straight to the point without being polite.
"Yes, Pindao does know a bit about Gengjing's news, but the news is not certain. That's why he didn't tell it at the exchange meeting. If fellow Taoist Bai really wants to know, Pindao can naturally tell him." Master Tianjing's face showed no trace of it.
He didn't show any surprise, but replied slowly.
"Even if the news is wrong, I still plan to listen to it. Just tell the truth." Although Bai Ran had expected it, he still said with a smile on his face.
"Actually, even if I don't say it, fellow Taoists should know it in a few days. According to an old friend of mine who is in charge of affairs at the auction house, the auction house may have a piece of Geng essence to be auctioned during the trade fair. It's just me.
The old friend said that the Geng Jing master seemed to want to take this thing out in exchange for something else.
The meaning of its item has not yet been officially decided to participate in the auction, so the matter is still a bit uncertain. However, if this piece of Geng essence is really put up for auction, those sword cultivating sects will probably lose their money and rush to snap up this item.
My fellow Taoist has really little hope!" Master Tianjing said.
"A piece of three-thousand-year-old Chi Jingzhi can be sold for 100,000 spiritual stones. Something like Geng Jing, which has been rare for hundreds of years, is naturally worth an astronomical price. If it is auctioned, it will be more expensive.
." The joy on Bai Ran's face gradually faded away, and she said with a wry smile.
He is also self-aware. Although he is rich, compared with the entire sect, it is naturally far behind.
But after Bai Ran said this with a wry smile, he adjusted his mood a little, and said calmly, "Anyway, thank you Tianjing for letting me know in advance. In this case, Bai can still collect some spirit stones in advance. By the way, Zhenren
Do you know who the owner of Geng Jing is? I would like to go and visit him in advance."
"I don't know exactly who he is. I only know that this person is a Nascent Soul monk from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. He currently lives in a hill outside the west gate. Fellow Taoist, you can look for it yourself. It shouldn't be difficult." The old Taoist said with a twist.
Yes, he said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master, for your advice. This is enough for the Gengjing matter. What Bai wanted to ask next has something to do with the soul stone. I hope Brother Tianjing can give me some advice." After Bai Ran nodded, a mysterious look suddenly appeared on his face.
Said lustfully.
"What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist? The poor Taoist doesn't understand!" The old Taoist, who was originally kind and kind-hearted, heard Bai Ran's words, his expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice with a glint in his eyes.
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, Bai also knows some puppet refining techniques. He has also found the remains of ancient puppet beasts in the caves of some ancient monks. Among these remains, there are these soul stones hidden inside.
.If I guessed correctly, the soul stone should be the key to the ancient monks' puppet-making technique.
Now. When the real person collects these soul stones, it seems that he should have obtained the refining method of ancient puppets. What kind of powerful ancient puppets are he planning to refine himself? I wonder if what Bai said is correct? If that is the case, Brother Dao can
Please tell me if you want." Bai Ran stared at the old Taoist and said without blinking.
But the moment he said these words, he immediately became more vigilant. Even though it was unlikely, he still had to be on guard. The old man was so frightened and angry that he took action.
After listening to the above words, Master Tianjing's face became expressionless, but his eyes were extremely cold, and his lips were tightly closed as he stared at Bai Ran without saying a word.
Seeing this, Bai Ran became even more cautious, but his expression remained as usual. He took a look at the storage bag again and took out a palm-sized jade box. He opened the lid of the box and placed it on the table in front of the old Taoist.
In the last delivery, two crystal stones, which were larger than the soul stones just now, were suddenly placed in the box.
Master Tianjing's cold face finally changed, and his eyes showed a look of shock.
"How did you get such a big soul stone? Do you have any more?" the old Taoist asked in a low and solemn voice.
When Bai Ran heard this, he looked at Master Tianjing and smiled, but had no intention of answering.
"Hmph! I can answer this question for fellow Taoist Bai. But in exchange, you must also answer how I got these soul stones." The old Taoist stretched out a finger and tapped the table twice before staring at Bai Ran's cold expression.
said the voice.
"No problem!" Bai Ran seemed to have already made up his mind and replied without thinking.
"Indeed, as you said, Pindao and a few friends discovered some refining methods of ancient puppetry at an ancient monk site. According to the above, these puppet beasts are extremely powerful, but the materials required are also extremely precious.
, and it must be refined together with the soul stone to have
It may be successful. However, soul stones are really difficult to find, and Pindao has not found a few of them so far. Otherwise, he would not have rashly exchanged them directly at the exchange meeting. Now it’s time for Brother Bai to talk about how there are
So many soul stones?" Master Tianjing said coldly.
"The origin of my soul stones is also very simple. I didn't know that these things were called soul stones in the ancient monks' mouth. I only knew that they came from the body of a kind of monster called the Yinming beast. I also spent a lot of time on it.
It took a lot of effort to get something." Bai Ran replied calmly.
"Yinming beast? How come I haven't heard of it? Where can this kind of monster exist?" The old Taoist asked with excitement flashing in his eyes.
"I wonder what kind of ancient puppet the master is planning to refine. Can I borrow the puppet technique I obtained from a certain point of view?" Bai Ran said calmly without changing his expression.
