Chapter 29: Old Friend
At this time, a female disciple stepped forward, stood under the rock and looked at everyone with a rather reserved look, lowering her head very shyly and whispering. "Jing...Jingshui Peak Song Ling'er has met all the senior brothers. Ling'er wants to use five spiritual stones to replace the spiritual mine for one year's rotation."
After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment and pulled his clothes nervously with his hands.
Duan Qing was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw this. He probably knew about the rotation of the spiritual mine. Before, the third senior brother Jiang Wuye went to the spiritual mine for rotation. The second senior brother probably mentioned it when he was in the square, but this rotation can also be replaced. Did you go? He cast his doubtful eyes on the second senior brother.
However, there was no answer from the second senior brother. Wu Da, the second senior brother, was looking straight at Song Ling'er with a burning gaze.
Duan Qing pulled the second senior brother's sleeve again, and the second senior brother finally came to his senses, touched his head in embarrassment, and laughed twice.
Duan Qing knew that the second senior brother probably didn't understand what he meant, so he asked directly. "Second Senior Brother, can I replace you when I'm on duty?"
"Oh, this, of course. The disciples who go to the spiritual mine for rotation all have mining tasks. As long as the substitute can complete it when the rotation expires, and the mining tasks are not too heavy, an ordinary person can do it with a little effort. It can be accomplished, let alone those of us who possess spiritual power.”
The second senior brother calmed down after explaining, looked at Song Ling'er again, and continued. "Going to the spiritual mine for rotation is actually just a change of place to practice. It's just that the spiritual mine is boring and dirty, so some people are always reluctant to go."
Speaking of this, the second senior brother looked at the embarrassed Song Ling'er in the field, as if he was thinking about something, and continued to explain absentmindedly.
"However, the sect has a rigid rule on this. Each peak and elder's sect must send at least one disciple to take turns in the spiritual mine every year. They usually come in turns. Your third senior brother went to our Yanfeng last year, and this year we will It's your turn, Senior Sister Lu Ying, but Na Nizi used spirit stones to find someone to go instead, so she probably won't go this time. The disciples of Qingshui Peak are all women, so it would be better to find someone to go instead. common."
After listening to the second senior brother's explanation, Duan Qing suddenly had a thought in his mind, looking thoughtful.
At this time, there was silence in the field. The spiritual stones distributed inside the door were distributed according to the cultivation level. During the Qi training period, the disciples received corresponding spiritual stones according to the corresponding cultivation level. Five spiritual stones are equivalent to a fifth-level Qi training disciple. The amount that can be obtained in one month requires spending a year in a boring spiritual mine. Few people are willing to suffer this for this small amount of spiritual stones.
Song Ling'er's face turned red from suppressing it, and she buried her head in her chest without even daring to raise her head to look directly at everyone's eyes.
Finally, a disciple in the Qi-training period of Dashifeng broke the deadlock and expressed his willingness to take a one-year rotation in the spirit mine instead of Song Ling'er, and took away five spirit stones.
Seeing the shy Song Ling'er running back to the crowd at Qingshui Peak, the second senior brother looked a little lost and remained silent.
After Song Ling'er went down, a young man in brocade clothes walked forward and came to the foot of the rock. He politely clasped his fists at everyone and said loudly.
"My dear, Bai Shaoyun, I just entered the sect of Master Muyun of Biyun Peak not long ago. I have met all the senior brothers and sisters. I ask you to take good care of me in the future.
After saying that, he hugged his fists and saluted everyone.
"Junior brother, I've just started and I don't have much to offer. I only have a small piece of Geng gold here, and I want to exchange it for some spiritual stones."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized piece of pale gold metal and held it in his palm, looking at everyone with a smile, with a hint of pride that could not be concealed in his smile.
As soon as the dark golden metal appeared, the crowd was in an uproar.
someone exclaimed.
"Gengjin, that is the main material for refining the best magical weapons!"
Then someone asked someone else in a low voice.
"Bai Shaoyun of Biyun Peak, is this the brother of Bai Hao who was rumored to have been acquired by Biyun Peak recently?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that he was Bai Hao's younger brother. No wonder he could bring out treasures such as Geng Gold. Everyone in the family said that Bai Hao of Biyun Peak came from a family of Dacang Kingdom. Now looking at Bai Shaoyun's handiwork, it seems that this What you say is true!
Duan Qing recognized Bai Shaoyun as soon as he stepped forward. Wasn't this person the one who was taken advantage of in the inn with two guards? At that time, we also suspected that their food and wine were poisonous.
Suddenly, Duan Qing looked at Bai Shaoyun with a somewhat evil look.
No matter what Duan Qing thinks of Bai Shaoyun, everyone present is salivating over that small piece of Geng Gold. After all, Geng Gold is a material for refining the best magical weapons!
Especially those in the transformation stage, who doesn't want to get a top-notch magical weapon for self-defense? Look at the Ice Soul Sword of Su Yutong from Purifying Water Peak, how powerful it is.
After a while of noise, someone was the first to speak.
"One hundred and fifty spiritual stones, I, Li Lian, want this gold."
The person who spoke was none other than Li Lian from Dashifeng. He crossed his arms and looked determined to win.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the silent Zhang Yiyang among the crowd at Cuizhu Peak.
In fact, Li Lian's price is almost the same as the value of this piece of Geng gold, maybe a little lower. However, in Li Lian's view, the only disciples in the sect who have the strength to buy this piece of Geng gold are just a few of them who have transformed from the ordinary. mid-term.
As we all know, Biyun Peak Bai Hao and Qingshui Peak Su Yutong both have top-quality magic weapons, and neither of them are here now. In addition, Jiang Wuye, who suddenly showed his cultivation in the middle stage of transformation, is also not here at this time.
Then the only person who could possibly compete with him was Zhang Yiyang from Cuizhufeng, who was in the middle stage of metamorphosis besides him.
As far as he knew, Zhang Yiyang and he did not have a top-grade magic weapon, so the Gengjin was most likely to fall into the hands of the two of them.
Now it depends on who has more spirit stones. He offered a price that was slightly lower than the actual value of Gengjin at the beginning, which was intended to test Zhang Yiyang.
Sure enough, no one at the scene offered any more. Looking at Zhang Yiyang from Cuizhu Peak in front of the crowd, he was a little hesitant. Li Lian's offer was indeed a bit difficult for him. He had about the same number of spirit stones in his hand. If he wanted to offer a higher price, he would have to borrow spirit stones from his junior brothers from Cuizhu Peak. It was difficult for him to lose face, and the price increase would inevitably be close to, or even exceed, the actual value of Gengjin.
However, it was difficult for him to give up directly. Since he broke through to the middle stage of the Transcendental Realm, he had been collecting materials to refine top-grade magic weapons. Now he only needed the last main material. Now this opportunity was in front of him. It was really unwilling for him to give up directly. Top-grade treasures like Gengjin were rarely seen on weekdays, and they might not be bought even with spirit stones.
And the most important thing is, if Li Lian has the top-grade magic weapon first, plus Bai Hao and Su Yutong, there will be three people in the younger generation who can definitely suppress him!
Zhang Yiyang's face changed for a while, weighed it again and again, glared at Li Lian hatefully, turned around and left.
As the eldest brother of Cuizhu Peak, he couldn't ask his junior brothers to borrow spiritual stones. He didn't make an offer at the first time just now. He wanted to wait and see if there was a chance to buy this piece of Gengjin at a low price, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked by Li Lian as soon as he hesitated.
As soon as the only competitor Zhang Yiyang left, no one on the scene made an offer again. Li Lian looked at Bai Shaoyun, and the meaning was very clear.
Bai Shaoyun was obviously not stupid, and he didn't dare to offend Li Lian, so he spoke immediately. "Since no one bids anymore, then this piece of Gengjin belongs to Senior Brother Li."
After that, he presented the Gengjin with both hands. Li Lian was also straightforward. He took it and didn't look at it anymore. He put it directly into the storage bag, and then pulled Bai Shaoyun to the side to settle the spiritual stones.
After that, everyone went forward one after another to continue the transaction.
At this time, the transaction had come to an end, and almost half of the people had gone up.
Duan Qing and the second senior brother had been outside the crowd and had not participated in a transaction. Duan Qing looked at the second senior brother in some confusion. "Second senior brother, why don't you go?"
The second senior brother Wu Da laughed. "Haha, your second senior brother is poor and penniless. I use up all the spiritual stones as soon as I get them. I don't have any treasures, so I won't go up to show my ugliness."
Duan Qing was a little dazed. He didn't expect the second senior brother to be so straightforward. At the same time, he was also a little surprised. "Second senior brother, if you don't want to trade, why are you still here!"
The second senior brother laughed. "Hehe, I'm bringing you here to see the world."
After saying that, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the crowd at Jingshui Peak.
Duan Qing found it quite interesting to see the second senior brother with a silly smile on his face. He discovered that the second senior brother was a person who could not hide his emotions and everything showed on his face. When he knew that the eldest senior brother was murdered, he cried like a baby, but now he was talking and laughing with him.
