Looking at the panting young stall owner, Bai Liming put down the tea cup in his hand and asked angrily:
"The stall owner is chasing me. I wonder what you're doing?"
The young stall owner said with a flattering face:
"Please forgive me, Immortal Master. I am just a despicable person who only seeks profit. That big man is a scoundrel and a shameless person. But he made me miserable. Not only did he not buy my scroll, he also threatened me. Alas, I am really
I’m so obsessed.”
Bailiming waved his hands and said boredly:
"Okay, a good pot of tea has been spoiled by you."
Looking at the speechless young stall owner, Bai Liming felt compassion:
"Look at how pitiful you are. I won't argue with you about what happened before. I will accept your scroll with ten spiritual stones. If you agree, you will pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other. If you don't agree, you can leave now and don't bother me again."
Hearing this, the young man running the stall felt like he was mourning for his heir, and he begged with a mournful face:
"Immortal Master, please don't remember the faults of villains. It's all my fault. Please pity me. I don't dare to ask for fifty spiritual bis. How about thirty more, Immortal Master?"
?”
Bai Liming didn't want to get entangled. Although the other party was pitiful, he was really a shrewd philistine and unethical. There was no need for him to think about the other party. He said in a cold tone:
"Twenty coins at most, if it works, you can keep it. If it doesn't work, just keep it for yourself."
Seeing Bai Liming's firm attitude, the young man running the stall knew that he was in the wrong and did not dare to bargain any more.
In the end, the two reached a deal, with one lamenting and the other looking calm.
After drinking a pot of tea, feeling refreshed, Bai Liming left the tea stall and wandered around for a while. He didn't find anything suitable, so he went back home and returned to the inn.
In the inn, Yuan Zhaoxi and Lu Xiaoyao have returned. The Chaos Glazed Flame and the Divine Sky Thunder Strike Wood that they most wanted were not found in Fang City. They went to the auction house to bid. Their net worth was somewhat overstated.
, his spirits were waning, so he came back early to rest.
Not long after, Zuo Sisi and Zhou Jiang came back empty-handed. Although the problem of insufficient spiritual jade had been solved, the middle and low-level spiritual materials were not worth it, and the high-level spiritual materials were too expensive, so the two had no choice but to
Returned angrily.
The five people gathered together in silence, all thinking: "Am I asking too much for spiritual materials?"
Suddenly, Zhou Jiang slapped his forehead and said excitedly: "By the way, I got a piece of news. There is a sinister place in the Black Wind Mountains fifty miles northwest. I heard that there are many good spirits.
Cai, where should we try our luck?"
Zuo Sisi rubbed his eyebrows and questioned: "Why does it sound unreliable? How can others reveal such a good thing at will?"
Zhou Jiang retorted with a smug look on his face: "It's absolutely true. I wandered outside a remote alley and saw a man being bullied by several casual cultivators. I stepped forward to stop him. To express his gratitude, he gave this person
The news told me."
Bai Liming asked with some doubts: "If we really found any treasure place, the casual cultivators would have swarmed up and divided it up. There is no way there would be anything left."
Zhou Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, the evil place is extremely dangerous, so low-level casual cultivators dare not go deep into it, and the news is still very hidden. His master just discovered it a few days ago. Of course
Because his master rushed into it rashly, he was seriously injured and died."
Bai Liming was still a little confused: "It sounds true, but it seems to be a bit of a coincidence. However, we are also heading north to Baoshan Hunting Ground. We happen to be passing by and can investigate a little bit."
Yuan Chaoxi said lazily: "This Tianquanfang City is not a place where low-level monks like us can afford to spend money. Instead of wasting time here, we should go to Baoshan Hunting Ground for training earlier. We will visit for another day tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow.
.Xiaoyao, what do you think?"
Lu Xiaoyao still smiled warmly and said: "Chao Xi, I don't have any opinion, I will listen to you."
Bai Liming, Zuo Sisi, and General Zhou also had no objections. In the past two days since they came, they have truly realized why some seniors and brothers smiled and said nothing when they knew they were going to Tianquanfang City.
No matter if it can open their eyes, it turns out that for them, it really can only open their eyes.
On the second day, the five of them hung out together. This time they no longer only focused on the high-level five elements spiritual materials, so they gained a lot at the end of the day and finally tasted the pleasure of spending a lot of money.
Most of what they purchased were necessities needed for practice, such as spiritual flowers and herbs, elixirs and elixirs, talisman paper and ink, local specialties, etc. After returning to Kaiyang Palace, they could refine elixirs, draw talismans, and make formation flags.
Engraving the formation plate... improve your technique practice in various disciplines.
Early on the third day, with the good mood of yesterday, the five of them felt a little reluctant to leave Tianquanfang City.
They rented five Daomen's unique scaly horses from the inn established by Daomen in Fangshi. This strange beast has a strong body, a short mane, only more than two inches long, and lin armor on its chest and abdomen. It is praised as an immortal.
horse.
Only Daomen inner disciples can rent the horses, and it is also very convenient to return the horses. When you arrive at Baoshan Hunting Ground, just return the horses to the local Daomen Station.
The four hooves of this scaly fairy horse flew as fast as the wind, climbing over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground. In just half an hour, they arrived at the Black Wind Mountain Range.
This mountain range has a radius of hundreds of miles and belongs to the Beili branch of Tianquan Valley. The mountains are rolling up and down, one next to the other, one after another. They are like rushing black waves, and the white foam on the top of the waves is the blossoming
White clouds.
The five people were about to drive their horses in, when a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the official road.
But when he saw three horses galloping towards him, he saw Baili Ming's crowd and said loudly: "Fellow Taoist, wait a minute!"
As he said that, he tightened the reins and stopped. The three of them turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward to salute.
Look at the three people dressed up. They are wearing the standard blue Taoist robes of the Taoist sect. The end of the hosta on their heads is engraved with a seven-star pattern. In the position of the Tianquan star, there is a green spar inlaid. They are disciples of Tianquan Palace.
The leader was a handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of phoenix eyes that shot into the cold stars, and two curved sword eyebrows as thick as lacquer.
He pinched the Taoist secrets and saluted: "Five fellow Taoists, the three of me are disciples of the inner sect of Tianquan Palace. My surname is Zhai and my name is Qingshan. I wonder if you have noticed any monsters along the way?"
Bailiming returned the greeting and said: "You are so polite, Fellow Daoist Zhai. The five of us are disciples of the inner sect of Kaiyang Palace. My name is Bailiming. We have just arrived here and are preparing to go to the Black Wind Mountains to explore, but along the way,
I’ve never seen any monsters.”
After hearing this, Zhai Qingshan looked slightly disappointed, but still asked with a smile:
"I wonder what the five fellow Taoists are doing in going to the Black Wind Mountains?"
Suddenly feeling abrupt, he added:
"Oh, that's it. I have entered the Black Wind Mountain Range several times, and I have not found any precious spiritual materials or heavenly materials or earthly treasures in it. So I am curious, so I ask this question."
Bailiming didn't care, but replied:
"It doesn't matter, I was passing by this place and saw the steep mountains and deep forests with lush leaves, so I wanted to go and explore it. It would be best if I could come across precious spiritual materials or treasures from heaven and earth. If not, just enjoy them.
The scenery of the mountains and forests is also a beautiful thing."
"What Fellow Taoist Baili said is absolutely true. Maybe there will be a bright future in another village, so I won't bother you and take my leave."
Just as Zhai Qingshan was about to mount his horse and leave, Bai Liming suddenly asked:
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Zhai has ever heard that there is a sinister place in the Black Wind Mountains?"
When Zhai Qingshan heard this, he stopped, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this."
