Chapter 242 Late-night meeting
Seeing the square box in Ye Chunyang's hand, everyone's hearts trembled.
Just now Master Xiaoshan got this thing and left in a disgraceful manner. Unexpectedly, this person took out the long box again. Could it be that there really is some unparalleled treasure in it?
Everyone looked at it with curiosity.
Ye Chunyang's expression remained unchanged, he held up the box and said calmly: "This is Lingshuangcao, which has medicinal properties that have lasted for thousands of years. Is there any fellow Taoist here who has the essence of black iron? If there is such a thing, this thousand-year-old elixir should be used as both hands." Offer."
"Thousand-year Frost Grass?"
Everyone's expressions changed. Since the decline of the ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gradually become thinner. It is rare to grow elixirs that are more than a thousand years old. How can Ye Chunyang not be shocked that Ye Chunyang can possess them.
Seeing the greedy expressions on everyone's face, Ye Chunyang was glad that when he was exchanged with Master Xiao Shan, he did not reveal the true appearance of the elixir. Otherwise, they knew that they had many spiritual herbs, and they must have evil intentions.
Now only this thousand-year-old frost grass is displayed, which also confuses their hearing and hearing.
On the other hand, Xue Meiren on the side opened her mouth slightly, looking more surprised than everyone else.
But her expression changed for a while and she didn't say much.
The old man surnamed Wang, Zhuge Yu and others stared at the elixir in Ye Chunyang's hand, their eyes flickering.
For those of them who have reached a bottleneck in their foundation building stage, they have a greater need for elixirs than others. After all, once your cultivation reaches a bottleneck, you can not advance just by understanding and practicing over time. Various elixirs are also indispensable.
Therefore, after Ye Chunyang took out the medicine, they immediately had the idea of taking it.
Even the Golden Dragon Loose Cultivator in front of him raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously he also valued this millennium elixir very highly.
However, what Ye Chunyang requested to replace was much larger than they expected. The Essence of Black Iron was also an ancient thing that had long since disappeared in the long river of history. In some respects, it was even more difficult to obtain than the thousand-year-old elixir. Ye Chunyang was looking for this. thing, they were extremely surprised.
Looking at the hesitant expressions of everyone, Ye Chunyang felt a little cold in his heart. Could it be that the essence of black iron was so hard to find that he would not be able to improve the level of his golden mace after all.
After hesitating for a moment, he patted the Qiankun Bag again, and a bottle of pill flew out from it: "It doesn't matter if you don't have the Essence of Black Iron in your hands, but if you know its whereabouts, I can exchange a bottle of high-grade Great Return Pill for the information. "
"High-grade Great Return Pill!"
The eyes of the old man surnamed Wang and others brightened again, and they stared closely at the bottle of Dahuan Dan with great enthusiasm.
Da Huan Dan is a medicine that heals injuries and greatly nourishes people. It even has the miraculous effect of bringing people back to life. Ye Chunyang's medicine is among the best. It goes without saying that its effectiveness is great.
Zhuge Yu's expression flashed, and his hands in his sleeves tightened and loosened, as if he were holding something. After a moment, a sinister flash appeared in his eyes, and then he lowered his head in silence, not even looking at Ye Chunyang.
"Fellow Daoist Ye is not only a thousand-year-old elixir, but also a top-grade rejuvenating elixir. He is really generous with his skills. It seems that Master Xiaoshan just got some miraculous elixirs!"
The old man named Wang laughed loudly. Although his expression was kind, it was full of temptation.
Ye Chunyang smiled but did not answer.
Exposing money will inevitably lead to misfortune. It is up to them to guess what Xiaoshan Master will get. Ye Chunyang does not intend to say more here.
Seeing his silence, the old man surnamed Wang was secretly angry, but there was nothing he could do.
So, he touched his nose and said: "There have been few rumors about the Black Iron Essence since its decline in ancient times. If you, fellow Taoist, want to find this thing, I am afraid it will be like a flower in the mirror. It would be better if you, fellow Taoist, pick a few pieces here." How about the magic weapon replacement?"
That's all for the Great Return Pill. He really wasn't willing to give up on this thousand-year-old elixir.
"I accept the kindness of fellow Daoist Wang, but I have nothing else to ask for except the essence of black iron." Ye Chunyang declined politely.
The old man surnamed Wang was also open-minded. Seeing that Ye Chunyang really had no intention of trading, he felt a little regretful and stopped forcing it.
Everyone was silent.
Seeing this, Ye Chunyang sighed in his heart. It seemed that the essence of black iron was indeed hard to find. He had to find another way to find it.
He reluctantly took back the thousand-year elixir and the Great Return Pill.
Just when he sat back down, something suddenly moved in his heart. He glanced at the Golden Dragon Sanren in front of him and frowned slightly.
A strange color flashed across Jinlong Sanren's eyes, which seemed to have a deep meaning.
But after just one glance at Ye Chunyang, Jinlong Sanren looked away and faced everyone with a warm smile.
Now, he was the only one present who had not replaced the treasure.
Next, what Jinlong Sanren took out was something extraordinary. It was a powerful semi-spiritual talisman, which required the replacement of a water-proof magic weapon of the same level.
According to the past, treasures such as semi-spiritual weapons and semi-spiritual talismans were rare to see, but today those gathered here seemed to have extraordinary identities, and they appeared one after another in their hands.
It happened that the old man surnamed Wang had a semi-spiritual water-proofing bead in his hand, so he exchanged this talisman with Jinlong Sanren.
After the secret meeting, everyone exchanged greetings and finally left.
Seeing everyone disperse one by one, Ye Chunyang had no intention of staying any longer.
Although I failed to obtain the Essence of Black Iron, I still gained a little bit today, at least I got the semi-spiritual weapon of Thunder Wind Cone.
This thing is a magic weapon specially used to restrain evil spirits and ghosts, and it will be of great help to him.
Moreover, if he is lucky enough to find the essence of black iron in the future, and upgrade it to a finished spiritual weapon together with the golden mace, the power will be greatly increased. Therefore, he will not lose anything in this way.
Just as he was leaving, he suddenly looked back at the Golden Dragon Sanren. The other person crossed his fingers and flicked them a few times, but didn't say anything more and just smiled.
Ye Chunyang frowned, thinking for a moment, and then walked out of the attic calmly.
The attic was empty, and only Jinlong Sanren was left in the attic. He looked into the distance, squinted his eyes after standing there for a long time, and finally returned to the house, looking at the picture of the fairy soaring in the clouds with a slightly deep gaze.
…
Yuanlai Inn.
This is one of the inns with the most visitors in Xuankong City. It is said that this inn was built by a second-rate family with great strength. Most of the people who come and go have extraordinary backgrounds, so the news here is also the most circulated.
At this time, two young men walked into the inn, carrying long swords and extraordinary demeanor.
It was Zhuge Yu and his junior brother who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
"Brother, the secret meeting is over, why do we still have to stay in Xuankong City?"
After entering the door, the younger junior brother showed doubts and asked Zhuge Yu puzzledly.
Zhuge Yu sat down silently, took a sip of tea and said with a deep look: "Do you think that Jinlong Sanren called us to a secret meeting just for exchange?"
"What does senior brother mean?" The junior brother was even more suspicious.
Zhuge Yu smiled mysteriously, obviously with other deep meanings, but he did not continue to say it. Instead, he said to his junior brother: "We still need to stay in the Hanging City for a few more days in the next few days. During this time, you can check the boy surnamed Ye to see where he comes from."
The junior brother was slightly startled and said: "Senior brother, you are here for the matter of Fairy Xue..."
"Humph! My engagement with Lady Xue was something that the two masters had already decided. This bitch embarrassed me in public for this boy surnamed Ye. They must have a deep relationship. And that boy has a thousand-year-old elixir in his hand. I'm afraid he has a deep origin. And this person's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building. You are not his opponent. You need to be careful when checking him to avoid being discovered by him."
Zhuge Yu snorted coldly.
At this point, a cold look flashed across his face, and he said, "That kid made me lose face at the secret meeting, and he should pay a price for it anyway."
Feeling the murderous intent in Zhuge Yu's eyes, the junior brother felt a chill on his back and hurriedly said, "Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
After saying that, he left the room.
After the junior brother left, Zhuge Yu looked out the window, pursed his lips and sneered, his expression was terribly gloomy.
Ye Chunyang didn't know that he was targeted by Zhuge Yu because of Lady Xue. After leaving Jinlong Sanren's attic, he also said goodbye to Lady Xue, and then purchased raw materials for refining in various shops.
Although the main material, the essence of black iron, has not been found yet, other auxiliary raw materials are also indispensable to improve the grade of the golden mace and the thunder wind cone.
After trading a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine with Lady Xue, he became rich, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not buy it in the same store, but went to several stores separately, and did not leave the market until dusk.
After returning to the inn, he first counted what he had gained today, then decided on what he would do in the near future, and finally closed his eyes to meditate.
According to his plan, after selling the thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and exchanging it for enough spiritual stones, he would rent and build a cave under the Hanging City.
However, he still had something to do today, so there was no rush to build a cave.
He remained silent until late at night, and suddenly his eyes opened, quietly left the inn, and quickly walked towards the market today.
Not long after, he came to the attic of Jinlong Sanren again.
Stopping outside the door, he seemed to sense something, and a bit of doubt appeared between his eyebrows, but then he walked in silently.
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Ye came a little earlier than I expected."
As soon as he entered the study, Jinlong Sanren's chuckle came from inside. He sat on the armchair, holding the golden pen in his hand and writing calligraphy and painting on the table.
The painting was profound, and the pen moved like a dragon, with a fierce momentum.
Ye Chunyang did not hesitate, stepped in, and said with a smile: "Daoyou Jinlong hinted that I would come here at three o'clock today. I think you have something to tell me. How can I let you wait for a long time?"
"Oh? How did you know that Xu was hinting to you? And the time is so accurate?"
Jinlong Sanren's eyes flashed, and he asked with interest.
Ye Chunyang did not change his expression, walked to Jinlong Sanren openly, and said: "Today, when I took out the thousand-year-old elixir and asked to exchange it for the essence of black iron, Daoyou looked a little strange. After that, when I was about to leave, Daoyou tapped my fingers three times. What else could it be if not hinting that I would come here at three o'clock tonight?"
Hearing this, Jinlong Sanren's eyes lit up, nodded and praised: "Daoyou Ye is really smart. After the meeting today, Xu did mean this, but I was just holding a glimmer of luck. Daoyou's coming to the appointment was beyond Xu's expectation."
Ye Chunyang did not comment.
After a moment, he frowned slightly and said, "Forgive me for being blunt, but you looked unusual during our secret meeting today. Do you know the whereabouts of the Black Iron Essence? Moreover, you did not transmit your voice with your spiritual consciousness, but only hinted with subtle movements. I guess you are worried that others will notice!"
