Chapter 575 The Sloppy Old Man
After he and Wang Xuan, the man in white shirt, each presented their magical cards, Ye Chunyang walked into the market silently.
Since this underground market is a black market, its abbot Fang Liqianzong naturally checks everyone who comes in and out carefully. However, after the man in white shirt introduced him, Ye Chunyang entered safely.
"Fellow Taoist Sufeng, I also have some items that I want to find. Friends, please take care. I'll excuse you for now. If you need anything, just inform me with the talisman."
After entering Fangshi, the man in white shirt said to Ye Chunyang.
"I'd like to thank you, fellow Taoist Wang, for this time. Since you have something important to do, please do as you please. I'm just going to look around."
Ye Chunyang returned the courtesy politely. Although he didn't know if there would be Fengling Stone in this underground market, the man in white shirt introduced him here. It was considered a favor, so he couldn't lose his etiquette.
However, it was a good thing for him to leave on his own initiative. After all, he was here to find the Wind Spirit Stone, and he didn't want more people to know.
The man in the white shirt did not hesitate, and then disappeared around the corner after saying goodbye.
After passing through the restricted gray fog, Ye Chunyang glanced at the direction where the man in white shirt left with half-squinted eyes. A strange color flashed across his eyes, but he did not stay any longer, but walked towards the shops in the market.
This underground market is not big. Except for the maintenance team of Li Qianzong, everyone who comes and goes uses forbidden spells to hide their identity. Even the treasure seller who rents a shop in the market all year round does not show his true face.
The Liqian Sect is a medium-sized sect at the junction of the north and the south. There are masters of the mid-level pill formation in it. It is on par with Lexuanshan in terms of strength. It is also in alliance with the Tianqi Sect like the latter, so Ye Chunyang dares to come. Treasure hunting here, otherwise if it were a subordinate sect under Wutian Sect, he would still avoid it for safety reasons.
In fact, since going down the mountain, Ye Chunyang has visited many cities and towns, but has not found the Fengling Stone, not even the slightest clue, and he can't help feeling a little frustrated.
I came to this underground market this time because rare things are often traded here, so I naturally wanted to give it a try.
Thinking in his mind, Ye Chunyang found a relatively large shop and walked in. The shopkeeper was an early-stage mana monk covered in gray mist, but from the appearance, he could vaguely tell that he was a woman. As soon as he saw Ye Chunyang come in, he immediately Come forward to greet him.
"If you, fellow Taoist, need anything, just let me know. If our store has it, I will sell it at a preferential price."
The woman's voice is soft and soft, which makes people feel happy and makes them want to do some shopping here.
Ye Chunyang was unmoved and did not directly state his purpose of finding the wind spirit stone. Instead, after looking around the store, he casually named a few spiritual grass seeds and asked the shopkeeper to find them for him. Come.
The store manager couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Ye Chunyang was actually looking for spiritual grass seeds.
People who are looking for spiritual herbs always ask for the finished product or sufficient vintage, but it is rare for someone like you to just ask for seeds.
However, the store manager also adhered to the purpose of putting customers first, and was only slightly surprised for a moment. Without saying a word, he smiled and nodded and got busy in the inner hall.
In about half a cup of tea, all the elixir seeds had been delivered to Ye Chunyang.
His real purpose is naturally not these. The reason for this is just to confuse others. However, these spiritual grass seeds also have a huge effect on him. After taking them back, he only needs to use a spiritual spoon to ripen them to become more than a thousand years old. Its value is beyond comparison with the spiritual herbs sold in ordinary stores.
He calmly accepted the spiritual grass seeds and gave them to the shopkeeper in exchange for the corresponding spiritual stones, and then pondered for a moment.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, the shopkeeper was surprised and said, "Do you need anything else, fellow Taoist?"
"I really want to buy something. I wonder if your store has it?"
Ye Chunyang raised his fingers slightly and tapped the table with a solemn look.
"I don't know what you need? Let me tell you. Our store does not claim to be all-inclusive, but some rare items are often available. Otherwise, we would not rent a store in this underground market."
The shopkeeper chuckled, sounding confident in his shop.
Ye Chunyang glanced at her. Although he couldn't see her face clearly through the gray fog, he could tell from his tone that this shop might have a great history, so he felt a little more hopeful.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chunyang immediately asked: "I wonder if your store has wind spirit stones? Any grade will do, the more the better."
"Fellow Taoist, you want to find the Fengling Stone?" The store manager was suddenly startled after hearing this.
"Exactly."
Ye Chunyang nodded indifferently, but found that the shopkeeper hesitated to speak and frowned slightly inadvertently, but he did not say anything more and waited for the other party to reply.
The shopkeeper didn't speak for a long time, thinking about something in his heart. It wasn't until Ye Chunyang felt impatient that he heard her say with a wry smile: "If fellow Taoist is looking for something else, our store may be able to satisfy it, but fellow Taoist also knows , Wind Spirit Stone can only be mined in mountains with extremely strong wind attributes. It is the most precious type of exotic spirit stone, and even our store cannot get it. "
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang felt disappointed in his heart, but he acted as usual, without any regret, and then stood up and left: "It's okay, I just asked about this thing casually. Since your store doesn't have it, I'll look for it elsewhere. "
After saying this, he left the store without stopping.
The store manager gave me a smile.
Next, Ye Chunyang used the pretense of purchasing materials in many shops in Fangshi as usual, but in fact he secretly inquired about Fengling Stone, but the results he got made him a little depressed.
There is no shop in this underground city that stocks this spirit stone, and no one even knows its whereabouts. This makes Ye Chunyang wonder whether the wind spirit stone has really disappeared. If this is the case, the refining of the wind spirit boots will be terrible. It is difficult to achieve.
"I have spent a lot of time looking for the Wind Spirit Stone since I came down from the mountain. If I still can't find it, I have to go to the desert to practice shadowless escape. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble once Wutianmen notices my whereabouts."
Coming out of a shop, Ye Chunyang looked solemn and thought to himself.
However, he is not someone who gives up easily. Before coming here, he heard the white-shirted monk say that in addition to the shops on the surface, there are also some retail investors selling spiritual materials in certain venues. He plans to go there again. Try your luck.
With this in mind, Ye Chunyang walked out of the street and prepared to go to the venue.
At this time, he seemed to notice something and frowned slightly, but he kept walking.
But just when he reached a dark corner, his figure flickered and disappeared.
After a moment, a gray light flashed where it disappeared, and a mist-shrouded figure appeared out of thin air. It looked around as if it was looking for something, but it seemed that it had lost its target. After a while, it had no choice but to shake its head and leave.
"Fellow Taoist, I have been following you here all this time. I wonder if you have any advice?"
A cold voice came suddenly, making the gray figure startled. He turned around hastily, and then he saw a flash of light in the corner, and the previously disappeared figure reappeared.
Gray Shadow's face changed slightly. He had not noticed the other party's aura just now. From this, it seemed that the other party's Qi Condensation Technique was quite astonishing.
He looked at the person who appeared again, and he felt solemn in his heart. He waved his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions. I just heard that Taoist friend was looking for the wind spirit stone, so I followed him here out of curiosity." "
"You know I'm looking for the Wind Spirit Stone?" Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes.
"Hehe, I just heard it accidentally in the shop in Fangshi." Gray Shadow said with a low smile.
"So what if you know that I want to find the Wind Spirit Stone? You have been following me here secretly. If you don't tell me why, I'm afraid you may not be able to go back easily today." Ye Chunyang said with a sneer.
Although it is not a secret to find the Wind Spirit Stone, this person behaves strangely, so Ye Chunyang naturally has to be on guard.
However, the other party's cultivation level was only in the middle stage of his magic power. If he really had any evil intentions, Ye Chunyang could beat him into a meat pie with a raise of his hands.
Gray Shadow seemed to be confident. After looking at Ye Chunyang, he chuckled and said, "If I say that I do have the Wind Spirit Stone in my hand, will you be willing to make a deal with me?"
"Do you have the Wind Spirit Stone?" A look of surprise flashed across Ye Chunyang's face.
Gray Shadow smiled but didn't answer.
Ye Chunyang stared at this person for a moment with a gloomy expression, and said coldly: "If you really have the Wind Spirit Stone, I can naturally exchange it for something of equal value."
"Fellow Taoist, you can tell at a glance that he is a cheerful person."
The gray shadow laughed twice, and after a flash of inspiration, he took the initiative to remove the gray fog, revealing a sloppy old man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, who looked like a disciple of a beggar gang.
Ye Chunyang was a little surprised by this person's active appearance, but immediately became indifferent.
The sloppy old man didn't say much. He smiled and patted the Qiankun bag. White light flashed, and there were many dove egg-sized crystal white spiritual stones on his palm. The sound of wind could be heard on it, and a strong wind was emitted. Attribute aura.
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows. Judging from the appearance and attributes, the old man was holding the Wind Spirit Stone.
"It is indeed the Wind Spirit Stone. What reward do you want?"
Ye Chunyang was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but there was no disturbance on the surface.
"I won't take any money from this stone."
Surprisingly, the old man said this.
Ye Chunyang looked surprised, then frowned, and said calmly: "There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. I just met you by chance. Are you really generous enough to give this stone to me? If you have any requests, please tell me. It’s hard to consider whether to trade with you, and besides, the quantity of your wind spirit stones is too small, and there is still a big gap between what I want. Even if you want to make a request, you’d better weigh it first.”
"Fellow Taoist is really shrewd. I don't have many wind spirit stones, but after hearing my conditions, I think...
Probably won't refuse. "The old man chuckled strangely.
Ye Chunyang remained expressionless and did not speak. The old man's pretentious words sounded noncommittal to him.
"To be honest, fellow Taoist, I am preparing to refine an elixir in the near future. I have collected a lot of medicinal materials over the years, and there is only one last item left to complete. However, this medicinal material was born in a dangerous place. I can’t get it, so I want to gather a few helpers. I wonder if you are willing to help?”
The old man smiled.
