Volume I: 24 Old Knowledge

Xiao Yi heard Qin Xi's words, and felt strange. Could it be that when he went back to the island, he was noticed by Qin Xi? Deep down in his heart, the island was the last safe haven for himself and his dogs. Even if Qin Xi doesn't look down on his kind of barren island, he doesn't want to be found by Qin Xi when the time comes.

"Forget it, you clean it up quickly. The smell on this body is messy, and it is difficult to cover it with incense, which will affect your mood when the time comes. After a two-day break, there is a regular auction of monks, and you go and see if there are any items that can be used. There is still no news next door in the past few days, so you can take this jade talisman to the Fang market to have a look. ”

Jing Xi handed a jade talisman and a top-grade spirit stone into Xiao Yi's hands, and advised: "If someone asks you which sect you belong to, you will say that your family identity cannot be disclosed. Didn't you use to be called Xiao Heyi? When people ask you your name, you say it's Heyi. Although I haven't heard of the reputation of the Beiji Xiao family, but when I dared to exterminate a Xiuzhen family, it was better to keep a low profile before such a force was found. No matter how weak your opponent is, at least you can't fight it right now. Don't get yourself into trouble so quickly, and if you want revenge, get strong quickly. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yi tightened the hand holding the jade rune spirit stone in his hand, took a deep breath, and then retreated with his fists in his hands.

This time, Xiao Yi is going to a small market, which is about the same size as the Black Donkey Pass Tianxingfang City that he had been to at the beginning. Since it is to search for the items on the list, a high-grade spirit stone is enough.

On the second day, Xiao Yat said goodbye to everyone, and he claimed that he wanted to travel by the way, so he set out on the road early. It didn't matter to Qin Xi, as long as he bought more herbal materials in the market. However, when Aunt Feng's child heard that Xiao Yi was leaving again, she began to cry constantly. Children have never been loved, nor have they been separated. In his opinion, this is a big deal. In the end, it was Aunt Feng who carried the child back to the backyard, and Xiao Yi left. Along the way, Xiao Yi thought about Zhao Qianbei's expression of running to the thatched house just after saying a word, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. It is also a kind of happiness to have someone to say goodbye when you dare to leave.

Coming to the Ghost Corner Terrace, Xiao Yi took the boat and shrank into it. He bowed to the remains of the Jade Beard three times before putting them away in a storage bag.

Turning back to the cave wall, he cut some earthwork and built it into a man-high wall behind him, and piled up a platform under the rat hole. Only then did he use the method of shrinking to jump two inches into the rat hole passage.

Although the earthwork secret room isolated most of the prohibitions, Xiao Yi's method of shrinking still consumed three times more spiritual power than the outside.

Out of the passage, Xiao Yi summoned the flying boat and soon came to a lake.

"Senior, you suffered a lot of fire during your lifetime, and today Xiao will bury you in this land of abundant water and grass. Whether you die or not, at least you will never be plagued by heat again for years to come. ”

Xiao Yi set up a wooden platform, and just condensed a spiritual fire bomb in his hand, and then extinguished it again.

He condensed the aura at the dantian into cold qi in his palm according to the description of the "Five Qi Tianyuan", and soon a layer of frost condensed on the surface of the dried corpse of the jade beard. About an hour later, seeing the corpse of Jade Whisker turn into an iceman, Xiao Yi stood next to the wooden platform. He used the internal force of the mortal, and the internal force continued to impact the iceman, and I don't know how long later, the iceman made a crisp sound and shattered into a piece of powder.

Xiao Yi stood quietly aside, watching the ice crystal powder gradually melt, and finally showed a puddle of black-brown powder.

Using spiritual power, he rolled the powder into a pit, and Xiao Yi slowly filled it up. No tombstones, no graves, except for Xiao Yi, no one else in this world knows the final fate of Jade Whisker.

Xiao Yi returned to the Ghost Corner Terrace and received the remaining thread grass into the jade box, since this is the derivative spirit grass of the seal, then it is also a tyrannical thing to keep these herbs if the seal is quickly lifted.

Xiao Yat inserted a bamboo into the rat hole and connected several bamboos to a depression on the mountainside. He took out several huge ice cubes from the storage bag and threw them into the depression, watching the ice slowly melt, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"If you do this, you may not be able to melt it in two days! ”

With this in mind, Xiao Yi summoned the flying boat and broke through the air. After a while, he turned around again.

More than a dozen water tanks were poured down by him, and after looking at the connected bamboo, there was not much water seepage, so he put the water tanks back into the storage bag.

This is the water tank he just bought in the market, and it is convenient to carry it in a storage bag after filling it with water. However, it is estimated that the number of trips to and from the water's edge will be indispensable in the future, so Xiao Yi simply gave up summoning the flying boat and jumped over several hills with his own flexibility. He didn't know how many times he had to go back and forth like this, and since the distance was not far for him, there was no need to spend the spirit stones of the flying boat. After all, a medium-grade spirit stone won't last long once, and he hasn't reached the point where he can squander it.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yi has traveled back and forth to the lake's water source no less than 100 times, but there still seems to be no response to the ban on Tutai. Tomorrow I will leave for Fang City, and there will be no water source to cool down for the next few days, and I don't know how long this seal will last.

Xiao Yi returned to the seal, took out the bamboo tube in the rat hole, shrunk his body and drilled in. He had experimented just now, and this shrinking technique also has a function, that is, if the body continues to be excitation after recovery, then the body size can continue to increase. It's just that as the size increases, the spiritual power consumed to maintain the body size will also multiply. But tomorrow is the departure time, and before leaving, it is considered to be a desperate gamble.

Soon, Xiao Yi doubled his body size in the earthen wall, and the long sword in his hand also increased a lot. This time, he cut out a hole in the earthen wall on one side and built a spacious chamber behind him. When the space was completely sealed, Xiao Yi felt that the loss of spiritual power around his body had slowed down a lot. Soon he had dug a one-man high passage. Although it also consumed two lower-grade spirit stones to supplement the consumption, compared with the previous predicament, this consumption was already insufficient.

In the past two days, walking through the mountains, Xiao Yi found a spring, although the water is not much, but it is still much stronger than his own bamboo waterway.

After two hours of tossing and turning, Xiao Yi finally led the spring to the valley, and without waiting for the water to pour in, Xiao Yi returned to the seal and entered the cave again.

This time he opened the outer chamber of the cave completely, and just as he opened it, a murky spring water flowed in with grass fragments.

The water soon evaporated into a white mist, and the closer it got to the firewood, the thinner the white mist became, and finally it was completely dissipated by the heat near the firewood. If the water was larger, it would be a different story.

Xiao Yi waded out of the seal and quickly rushed in the direction of the spring. He found the spring in the rubble, and looked at the sand and bubbles tumbling in the gushing clear water, and his heart was touched. How long will it take for such a small spring to extinguish the fire tree? If the extinguished mist evaporates into the valley, will there be mortals approaching here again? Since it is drained into the valley, the fire around the ban will also weaken and the water vapor will increase, and you can try to gather the water vapor and make this place covered in mist. At that time, mortals were afraid of the murderous reputation here, and they would not dare to go deep rashly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi quickly expanded the spring, and with a cup of tea, the original spring, the size of the bowl mouth, became a pool of water the size of a zhangxu, and the amount of spring water gushing out also surged more than ten times.

Xiao Yat returned to the valley and re-laid out the formation, which did not have the function of restricting people from entering and exiting, but only made the water vapor in the valley gradually transpirate and saturate, forming a dense fog. It is also reasonable to see a thick fog in this valley. I believe that even if a cultivator sees it, he will not feel anything unusual.

The arrangements were made, and Xiao Yi summoned the flying boat to rise to the clouds. With the rising sun, it goes in the predetermined direction.

Beiji border, Danyangfang City.

This is the north bank of the Dan River, the Beijijie River, and there is a city on the bank, named Danyang. Xiao Yi's destination this time was in a valley fifty miles west of Danyang City. When he landed the ship at the mouth of the valley, many monks were stepping into the quarantine on foot.

Written in the eyes of mortals, it is just a dilapidated barren mountain and dangerous land, but in fact, it is also a prosperous scenery without obstacles.

Although Xiao Yi's flying boat attracted the attention of a lot of loose cultivators, the other party only sighed a few words of envy, and no one stepped forward to talk. It is difficult to protect the cultivation of the cultivation realm, and if you rashly approach a monk with a prominent wealth, then the intention of either treachery or theft is too obvious.

Xiao Yi took off the boat and quickly walked into the market, where the monks on both sides of the stalls sold a dazzling array of goods. Unlike last time, Xiao Yat came to purchase this time with a purpose, so he went to the inn to rent a room at the first stop.

He didn't choose a good room, he just chose an ordinary place to live like the cheapest spirit stone. Walking out of the door again, Xiao Yi's own white robe had turned into a black robe. The facial features on his face were also distorted into the most ordinary appearance by his internal force. This is the result of his internal force changing, and he does not use magic to change, and he does not use disguise props. No matter how high his ability is, just looking at his appearance, he is already a different person.

Xiao Yi came to the Fang Market, and after looking at it all the way, he did find a lot of medicinal herbs and spiritual strains recorded on the list. It's just that the price of these spirit plants is a little inflated, and he only wants to verify the price this time, and he will not consider buying it until he is satisfied.

When he went to the innermost corner, he finally found a corner in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, this time he had nothing to do, so Xiao Yi simply opened a mat and prepared to sell some of his sundries by the way.

"This fellow Daoist, you need to pay a fee of five spirit stones to set up a stall in Fang City. You see if your goods are worth setting up a stall, and the city is also to facilitate the monks to communicate with each other, so it does not deliberately seek profits. A monk with a Danyang waist tag on his waist walked over. Xiao Yi smiled politely, then took out five spirit stones and handed them to the other party.

The monk took out a token and handed it to Xiao Yat. This is the most common trading token in the Xiuzhen realm. As long as the owner activates it, then all goods will be wrapped in a layer of light film. Even if a strong person who cultivates as a golden pill gets this kind of thing, he will discard it because he can't use it. The only thing that can lift this ban is the seller who casts the spell. However, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell in the market, and once someone makes trouble, then the monks who manage the market will also intervene. Behind the Fang Market, there are local cultivation forces to rely on, and some of the larger Fang Markets will also invite high-level monks to sit in the town. Therefore, Xiao Yi's five spirit stones are actually a kind of management fee to protect the seller, and it is also a means to ensure that the cultivator can buy and sell the best products.

Yat activated the token and received it in his arms. At this time, Fang Yuanzhang Xu was already under the protection of Xiao Yi's token. He took out two jade boxes and put them on the mat, and put a dozen blades aside. Finally, he took out more than two dozen medicine bottles and placed them in the front position, and after thinking about it, he took out ten more wooden boxes, which were opened in a row in front of him.

This wooden box contained a box of ten spirit fruits, and he took some from the forest last time, and it happened to be used this time. More than 20 bottles of medicine and a bunch of blades were all things that Wu Lian and the others had looted and killed from elsewhere before. Anyway, I can't use it anymore, and it's good to be able to exchange some spirit stones. The last two jade boxes contained the threaded grass collected at the Onikakudai this time. The older ones are placed in one box, and the lower ones are placed in another.

Xiao Yi learned a lot of things in the cultivation realm from the jade talisman left by the jade beard along the way. Among them, there is a lot of knowledge about commodity prices. Although the jade beard is a circulating memory thousands of years ago, a thousand years is really not a very distant time for cultivators. Moreover, the price marked by Xiao Yat is obviously inflated, and the current price will be withdrawn a lot when the other party bargains.

Soon, a few scattered cultivators came over, and after some bargaining, in the end, Xiao Yi's twenty bottles of medicine were bought at the price of two medium-grade spirit stones. The other party also wanted to buy Xiao Yi's pile of weapons at the price of a medium-grade spirit stone, but Xiao Yi refused.

He knew that these weapons in his hand were only one hundred and twenty spirit stones at most, and it would not be a loss to sell a medium-grade spirit stone. But Xiao Yi saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry to make a move, so he simply sat on the ground and started the price, and there was no need to talk about it if it was less than one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

It didn't take long for Xiao Yi's ten wooden boxes to be bought for the price of thirty-five spirit stones, and only weapons and two jade boxes were left on the straw mat.

Not many people buy this herbal material. Because it can't be taken directly, only alchemy cultivators and some sect families with pharmacy masters will buy it.

Xiao Yat saw that there were too few items, so he took out six storage bags and placed them on the mat. Xiao Yat now has no less than ten storage bags, but they are all of the cheapest low-grade lower grades. He also had the intention of buying a high-end storage bag in the trading market this time, so he put all the useless ones on the stall.

Soon, another group of casual cultivators came to buy, and in the end, Xiao Yi harvested six medium-grade spirit stones for the price of a storage bag and a weapon.

The monk who had asked for weapons earlier saw that there were only nine weapons left in Xiao Yi's stall, so he proposed a medium-grade spirit stone to accept all the weapons, and then bring the two jade boxes as additives.

"Daoist friends are laughing, right? What is stored in this jade box is thread grass! This box of thread grass is worth a medium-grade spirit stone, to say the least. The other box is nearly 1,000 years old, and there are a total of eight plants in it. I don't think there are five medium-grade spirit stones, so Daoist friends should not talk about it. ”

The other party saw that Xiao Yi cared about the two jade boxes very much, so he began to estimate the price. Just as he hesitated, a young voice came from behind him.

"Fellow Daoist, I want these two boxes of threaded grass and six medium-grade spirit stones. ”

When the monk heard this, he looked back, only to see a young monk in a white robe and a square scarf standing behind him. Sanxiu wanted to drink back the young man who was hindering him from bargaining, but when he saw the two bamboos embroidered with silver thread on his placket, he immediately put away his words.

"It turned out to be a fellow Daoist of the Khan Qingmen! I just came up with six medium-grade spirit stones to buy this thing, and I also plan to add one more spirit stone to buy the remaining weapons as well. I wonder if you can sell it in the next face?"

Seeing that the other party's price was reasonable, and the most important thing was that they still had to buy the remaining weapons, the white-robed young man just smiled in return, turned around and was about to leave.

"This fellow Taoist is slow. Xiao Yi got up and arched his hand at the white-robed young man: "Since Daoist friends like my herbs, then I will sell six medium-grade spirit stones to Daoist friends." As for these items, they were also given to fellow Daoists. ”

Xiao Yi's actions made the casual cultivator just now feel stunned, but it was strictly forbidden to force buying and selling, so it was inconvenient for him to come forward to interrupt other people's transactions.

Although the white-robed young man had the intention to buy Xiao Yi's thread grass, he was also overwhelmed by this sudden move. Just when he wondered if the other party had other intentions, Xiao Yat took out a worn-out book from the storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my price?"

Xiao Yi looked at each other with a smile, and the white-robed young man suddenly took out six medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to Xiao Yi.

After the loose cultivator left, Xiao Yi took the grass seat and led the white-robed young man to a restaurant. In the private room, Xiao Yi invited the young man to sit down, and then his face changed for a while, and he regained his original appearance.

"Sure enough, it's a Taoist friend! I didn't expect to be able to meet a Taoist friend again this time. The white-robed young man looked at Xiao Yi in amazement, his face showing irrepressible excitement.

"Xiao Yi is polite here. I haven't seen him for ten years, Zhang Daoyou's cultivation is diligent, which really makes Xiao envious. ”

The young man in front of Xiao Yi was Zhang Jun, a disciple of the outer sect of Khan Qing who sold him "Tianque". Thanks to his unintentional actions, Xiao Yat created an extra fruit forest on the island. This time, since there are acquaintances who want to buy their own thread grass, Xiao Yat will already give priority to it.

Zhang Jun was also very excited, he didn't know many people in the cultivation world. Although he didn't have much contact with Xiao Yat at the beginning, he could see that Xiao Yat was also not rich at that time. I was emotional, and I couldn't keep myself busy, so I bought this scrap book. When I met again today, the other party actually recognized him at a glance, which made Zhang Jun's heart still touched.

Soon the store put a table of wine and food, and Zhang Jun only roughly estimated that this wine and food was at least thirty spirit stones.

"How embarrassing is this, let Brother Xiao break the bank. I just got so many benefits from Xiao Daoyou, so I'll invite Brother Xiao this time. "Zhang Jun knew that Xiao Yi was a loose cultivator, and he wouldn't have any spirit stones on his body. So he said sincerely.

"Where does Zhang Daoyou say? The wine and food on this table are still thanks to you. At the beginning, the spiritual fruit that Daoyou gave me, I didn't have any spirit beasts to domesticate, so I planted it in the soil. Ten years later, more than a dozen fruit trees have grown. Just now I bought a hundred of these fruits, and I have collected thirty-five spirit stones. It seems to be a little more than this wine. ”

Zhang Jun was originally just smiling, but when he heard this, his face suddenly changed.

"How is it possible? Didn't Daoist friends kill fellow cultivators?"
