Chapter 221 Return to the Western Wilderness
The land of Western Wasteland, Tianji City.
This is the second time Shi Xuan came out of the teleportation array of Tianji City. The difference is that last time he came out of the teleportation array from Jizhou City to Tianji City, and this time he came out of the teleportation array from Chaozhou Square to Tianji City. The same. The problem is that the monks on duty at the teleportation array are all Lu Yi, the middle-aged monk in the Qi-entraining stage who prepared the cloud bed for Shi Xuan. However, nearly twenty years later, he still has perfect Qi-entrainment.
In fact, Lu Yi is not as young as he looks on the outside. He is already over one hundred and thirty years old. He has long lost the confidence to advance to the soul stage without using pills, and he does not have the courage to risk exploring the cave, so he has to rely on his own strength. The cultivation base came to Tianji Mansion Teleport Hall to work, hoping to save enough spiritual stones to buy the God Gathering Soul Refining Pill before turning one hundred and sixty years old.
Shi Xuan looks so young and has a plain and easy-going temperament, so Lu Yi did not regard Shi Xuan as a master of the soul stage at first. He only thought that he was a wealthy and powerful monk in the out-of-body stage who spent a huge amount of money to come here. The Western Wasteland satisfies his adventurous complex, and he felt resentful for a moment. Why can others spend so much on flower spirit stones? He has to save them little by little. He must know how to use the teleportation array from the Three Islands Sea Area to Tianji City once. Then you can get a high-grade spiritual stone! Three high-grade spiritual stones can buy a God-Gathering Soul-Refining Pill!
However, Shi Xuan didn't pay attention to Lu Yi's indignation. Now he appeared in Tianji City with his original identity, but he didn't recognize him at all. As for Grandmaster Xingzhao, he had been wanted by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance for not a year or two. , Shi Xuan does not dare to appear in this capacity again.
Lu Yi watched this young man from an aristocratic family walking slowly outside the stone chamber, and shook his head disdainfully. Just as he was about to turn around and continue guarding the teleportation array, he heard a surprised voice coming from the other side: "This is not Fellow Taoist Stone." I didn’t expect you to come to Xihuang today.”
Shi Xuan looked at the two people passing by the door of the stone room, and a smile appeared on his face: "Shi, I didn't expect you to meet Daoist Xiao. We haven't seen each other for more than 40 years since we parted ways in Shiwanda Mountain. Haha, Fellow Daoist Xiao came in too. "The taller one among the two, the calm and handsome monk in blue robes, is Xiao Wen, a disciple of the Yaowang Sect who has fought side by side with Shi Xuan. From his breath, the name of the Yaowang cauldron on the robes From the big and small, it can be seen that he has advanced to the divine soul and has become a true disciple of the Medicine King Sect.
Xiao Wen was surprised and happy in his heart. He and his Taoist companions used the teleportation array to come to the Western Wilderness today just for some things at the auction. However, he did not expect that when passing by the teleportation array in the waters of Sandao, he just took a casual look and discovered it. Shi Xuan, a long-lost acquaintance, greeted him happily: "Haha, Xiao has not advanced for twenty years, how can he compare to fellow Taoist Shi, who has already perfected his spirit and spirit. Twenty years of spirit and spirit, even in the entire world of cultivation. , those are rare.”
Lu Yi was shocked when he heard this. With twenty years of soul, there is only one person in the world of cultivation in the past thousand years, that is the famous true disciple of the Penglai Sect, Shi Xuan. Rumor has it that he has superb swordsmanship, but his human eyesight is higher than that. Ding, I don’t like to argue with others.
Could it be that person was just talking nonsense? Lu Yi was a little confused. He looked carefully and saw that the man's Taoist robe and the medicine cauldron on his chest all indicated that he was a true disciple of the Medicine King Sect. He thought he would not recognize the wrong person. After confirming Shi Xuan's identity, Lu Yi was a little scared and regretted the impatience and resentment he showed just now, for fear of offending Shi Xuan, an arrogant senior in the Soul Stage.
"Shi is just a coincidence, and his foundation is not as solid as others. Who is this?" Shi Xuan asked politely when he saw that there was a small, delicate, and pretty female monk wearing a pink dress next to Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen then realized that he hadn't made an introduction yet and said hurriedly: "This is my wife Feng Anbai, who is also an inner disciple of Yaowang Sect." Then he pointed at Shi Xuan and said: "Haha, madam, this is the Shi you often talk about. Fellow Taoist Xuanshi, now you have got what you wanted."
Feng Anbai's face turned red when her husband teased her. She glared at him and saluted Yingying: "An Bai has met fellow Taoist Shi. Fellow Taoist Shi, don't listen to my husband's nonsense. An Bai just likes swordsmanship, so he often wants to ask fellow Taoist Shi for advice." "
Unexpectedly, Feng Anbai, a small and delicate woman, also likes the art of flying swords. Shi Xuan smiled and said: "With the friendship between Shi and fellow Taoist Xiao, you can go directly to Penglai, Fellow Daoist Feng. As long as Shi is not in retreat, you can do it." Give some pointers.”
Feng Anbai's eyes shone slightly: "If Taoist Fellow Shi said this, An Bai would be rude. Before the auction, he would often come to ask for advice."
Seeing his wife's behavior, Xiao Wen could only smile bitterly and said, "Don't be offended, fellow Daoist Shi, my wife is like this. She is often addicted to studying swordsmanship, otherwise she would not be stuck in the perfection of entraining qi."
Shi Xuan shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter, Shi is here for the auction, and there is nothing else to do. Being able to have fellow Taoists compete with Shi in swordsmanship can be regarded as passing the time. I heard what Daoist Feng said just now, Fellow Daoist Xiao, you are also here for Coming to the auction?”
Xiao Wen glanced at Lu Yi: "Let's talk when we get to the place where we stay. Stand here and block others from coming in and out." It's not that he is afraid of too many people. With the ability of the three of them, it is not appropriate to set up a small isolation formation for exploration. What a difficult thing.
Shi Xuan smiled and said: "Then Shi will invite you two to our Foreign Affairs Hall as guests first." Shi Xuan still has to go to the Foreign Affairs Hall to get the special token, and then wait for the auction three days later.
Seeing the three people leaving together, Lu Yi breathed a deep sigh of relief. It seemed that senior Shi Xuanshi did not take Qi-inducing monks like him seriously, which was great. However, senior Shi finally came to Xi When Huang appeared, those sword cultivators who wanted to challenge him had a chance.
…………
The Tianjifu Branch of the Penglai School Foreign Affairs Hall is a five-entry courtyard located in a prominent location. Although it is located on a bustling street, it is deep and vast, showing the magnanimity of the school.
"Uncle Shi, you are here." Seeing Shi Xuan come to the door, Fei Fengzhuo, the branch deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall, quickly stepped forward to salute. Not many people had seen Shi Xuan outside the sect, but because there were jade slips and portraits inside the sect, There are quite a few people who know Shi Xuan, especially Fei Fengzhuo, a veteran Qi-entraining monk in the Foreign Affairs Hall, who is coming to participate in the auction. The Tianji Mansion branch of the Foreign Affairs Hall Every deacon knows it.
Shi Xuan nodded: "Help Pindao arrange a quiet room. Pindao wants to entertain two fellow Taoists."
Fei Fengzhuo didn't ask any more questions, and took Shi Xuan, Xiao Wen, and Feng Anbai to the backyard. He followed Shi Xuan and gave Shi Xuan a strange token made of stone: "Uncle Shi Shi , this is the entry token for the auction, you keep it.”
"Where's Uncle An?" Shi Xuan took the token and asked casually about An Wang, the head of the Foreign Affairs Hall. Because of the importance of Tianji City, An Wang, the head of the Foreign Affairs Department, spends most of the year in Tianji Mansion.
Fei Fengzhuo glanced at Xiao Wen and Feng Anbai, and Shi Xuan knowingly asked them to go into the quiet room. He took Fei Fengzhuo a few steps forward, reached a corner in front, and laid out a formation.
"Uncle An went to another auction to sell his savings, because in that auction three days later, there will be a monster inner elixir being auctioned. It is a one-horned Kui ox with thunder and lightning attributes. Uncle An is determined to get it." Fei Feng Zhuo said cautiously, An Wang is a spiritual monk who has been in the Soul Stage for many years. He is probably more than 200 years old this year. Because of an evil incident in his early years, he did not dare to use the Nine Turns and Nine Returns Jade Liquid Divine Pill to achieve the Golden Pill. Now he has a single horn. Kui Niu Neidan, of course, you can’t miss it.
Shi Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is there no one-horned Kui Niu inner elixir on the list given by Zhao Fengan?" Shi Xuan could guess the reason, just to see if Fei Fengzhuo was willing to talk about it.
Fei Fengzhuo was able to tell Shi Xuan the news, and he never thought of concealing it later: "That's because Master An's uncle removed this item from the list."
Other major sects each have their own special techniques, such as the Yaowang Sect's "Green Emperor's True Technique" and "Wooden Emperor's Divine Technique", the Blood Demon Sect's "Blood Shadow Divine Technique", and the Netherworld Sect's "True Explanation of the Underworld Dao" , "Guanghan Art" and "Ice Soul Divine Art" of Guanghan Sect, "Tianhuo Art" and "Sun Zhenjue" of Tianhuo Sect, "Tai Shang Xiang Er Jiu Jie Annotation" and "Tianshu Feixing" of Yingzhou School "Secret Great Cave Scripture", Luofu Sect's "Luofu Immortal Technique", "Piaomiao Song Jue", etc. There are very, very few soul-level monks of Lei Xing Kung Fu. For Anwang, the one who has won the One-horned Kui Niu Neidan The main opponents are the other soul-stage monks of our sect, but An Wang doesn't pay attention to the sect leaders, elders, and casual cultivators of the small and medium-sized sects at all.
As for why Fei Fengzhuo told Shi Xuan, it was because Shi Xuan could find out when he arrived at the auction, and Shi Xuan was the disciple of Mo Yuan who ranked first in the Tianji Ranking. He was also a master of swordsmanship and had the best chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage. One of the few true disciples of An Wang. Compared with An Wang, both in terms of current status and development potential, he is only higher but not lower.
Shi Xuan nodded and gave Fei Fengzhuo a middle-grade spiritual stone. Although this news was not important to Shi Xuan, he did not covet the One-horned Kui Niu Neidan: "Is there another token? Used by our monks?”
"The other token was taken by Uncle Xia Jiling. She was traveling in the Western Wilderness and found out about the auction, so she came directly to the Foreign Affairs Hall to get it." Fei Fengzhuo answered honestly. Xia Jiling is a disciple of Lingxing, ranking third among the true disciples of the sect. It has been more than seventy years since he entered the divine soul stage, and he has been hovering at the level of perfection for more than forty years.
After asking for some other information, Shi Xuan signaled Fei Fengzhuo to leave, then turned and walked into the quiet room.
After Xiao Wen exchanged some pleasantries with Shi Xuan, he smiled and said: "Xiao came to Xihuang this time just for certain items at the auction." The specific items were not told to Shi Xuan. After all, the two of them both They are not life-and-death acquaintances, nor have they been friends for many years. It would be so heartless to tell the other person your purpose.
Naturally, Shi Xuan would not ask further questions, but said, "In three days, let's go to the auction together?" After the auction, there is a time to change clothes and rest, so it doesn't matter if we go together.
