Chapter 122: Stepping Stones
A seven-member treasure protection team set off from the Jingxi Military Airport again, arrived at Qinghu Airport three hours later, loaded two boxes onto a commercial van, followed by two other cars, and arrived at Yanhu Town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain at five o'clock in the afternoon.
Tiandun sent six people, including Zhao Xingchen, and the remaining one was Shi Jixue, who led the way.
Departing early tomorrow morning, it will take ten hours to drive to reach the Yujing Palace, where the eight places are located.
The place where everyone lives is the town government guest house, and it is the most prosperous street in the town when you go out, and you can eat, drink and have fun on this street.
However, according to Shi Jixue's instructions, everyone can't go out after dinner, except for the arranged staff on duty, everyone else has to stay in their rooms to rest.
Of course, this order is not binding on Zhao Xingchen, after eating, he went to the street alone, did not buy anything, let alone enter any bars, just wandered on the street.
There are many jade shops on the street, Zhao Xingchen followed two middle-aged people into a jade shop, and when he saw the business coming to the door, the bald boss smiled like a flower on his face, and hurriedly greeted him, and greeted him attentively: "A few bosses take a look at it casually, and tell me which one you like, the price is negotiable!"
There are three such jade shops on this street, all of which sell freshly processed jade, as well as a small number of antiques.
The purpose of Zhao Xingchen coming here is to see if there is any psychic ancient jade, judging from the map, the Kunlun Mountains are also coming down along the Nanling Mountains, will this also be part of the Immortal Ancient Battlefield?
After turning around, he didn't see what he wanted, Zhao Xingchen was a little disappointed, and was thinking about going out, one of the two people who came in front of him before said: "Boss, these goods are not good things, if you have a treasure, don't hide it, take it out and take a look, the boss of other houses said, you may have what we want here, as long as we take a fancy to it, money is not a problem!" After speaking, the man turned his head to look at the door, lowered his voice and said two words to the boss: "Holy Ruins!"
Hearing this, the boss's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he grinned and said, "It turned out to be a fellow Daoist!
Hearing the word holy ruins, Zhao Xingchen also turned around and came back. When she was in Kyoto, Zhao Xingchen asked Xiaoxue to help her find the information of the Holy Ruins, and directly entered the Holy Ruins Forum, and Xiaoxue also registered an account.
This is a world-wide cultivation forum, in which there are sect inheritances, and there are also scattered cultivation paths, on which you can trade so-called magic weapons and spiritual weapons, and you can also publish bounty tasks, and there are special bounty hunters who live by completing tasks, which belongs to the semi-public dark web trading place.
Seeing that Zhao Xingchen also came over, the two middle-aged men showed vigilant eyes, but after looking at him, they didn't feel any breath, so they showed a look of disdain.
One person pointed his index fingers with each other and placed them above his navel, Zhao Xingchen knew that it was the way to greet the Daoist friends of the Holy Ruins, so he made an exact gesture.
The two middle-aged people's faces softened, and one said to Zhao Xingchen with a straight face: "I can't imagine that a person like you who has no aura is also a Taoist friend! It seems that the holy ruins are really getting more and more chaotic now, and anyone can sign up! What is your name in the forum?
The Holy Ruins Forum uses a point system, not everyone can browse all the pages, and some bounty tasks are only available to premium members.
Zhao Xingchen, a newly registered little mengxin, was of course not an old bird of the forum, and stretched out a finger to the two and said, "Snow doll, one star!"
"Cut!" The disdain on the faces of the two of them could not be concealed, one pointed to himself and said: "I am a four-star, he is a five-star, the white jade bowl is not what you can ask for at your level, don't rob us!"
The five-star boss on the side glanced at Zhao Xingchen disdainfully and said, "If he wants to rob, he has to have that strength, you see him from head to toe, is he cultivated or rich?"
"That's right!" the four-star boss grinned, looked at Zhao Xingchen and said, "You are worthy of fishing for a scrap to play, why don't I take you as an apprentice and let you get some good goods?"
The so-called apprentice is not a real apprentice, but a rapid upgrade method on the forum, that is, the forum is a beginner, in reality to know the forum boss, invite him to eat, drink and have fun, let him help you find some good things or complete a more difficult task, so as to achieve the role of upgrading.
Zhao Xingchen smiled and shook his head, and the two bigwigs sank their faces, unwilling to deal with him anymore. The boss soon came out with a wooden box, and mysteriously ran to close the door of the store, only then did he open the wooden box and take out a crystal clear jade bowl from inside!
The two bigwigs showed ecstatic looks on their faces, nodded and said, "Yes, that's it!"
Zhao Xingchen was not interested after just looking at it, it was indeed a spiritual weapon, but now it has consumed the spiritual energy, and the rest is just good-looking.
"Boss, apart from this, there are no other good things?" Zhao Xingchen asked as he looked at the bald boss a little strangely.
The four-star boss on the side said with a disdainful face: "Give him some scraps, he deserves that at this level!"
The bald boss looked suddenly enlightened, looked at Zhao Xingchen with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and said with a smile: "As soon as you talk about the scraps, I remember that there is really this thing, wait!"
watched him walk into the room, lifted a table, picked up a jade plaque from the ground that cushioned the corner of the table, threw it on the counter, and said to Zhao Xingchen: "This thing is a hundred yuan a piece, if you like it, take it!"
Zhao Xingchen's eyes widened, he picked up the jade plate on the counter, looked at the boss in disbelief and said, "One hundred yuan a piece, how much do you still have?"
"Yes, it's worthless things, I'm about seventy or eighty yuan, if you want them all, just give six thousand yuan in front of Daoyou!"
Zhao Xingchen didn't say a word, he directly took out his bank card and handed it to the boss: "I want it all!"
"Hahaha!" The two bigwigs next to him all laughed, and the four-star bigwig pointed at Zhao Xingchen and said, "You are suitable for this kind of stepping material, worthy of your identity!"
The boss brought a cardboard box, which was full of psychic ancient jade, swipe the card to pay the money, these things belong to Zhao Xingchen!
Holding the cardboard box, the Yuan Yi True Qi in Zhao Xingchen's body reacted with the necromantic qi in the ancient jade, and with a burst of visible air condensing from the jade plate, entering Zhao Xingchen's body, these jade cards, which were originally dull, became transparent and crystalline, exuding a bright light, and those who knew a little bit could see that this was the best jade, and a piece was worth a fortune!
"Bang!" there was an explosion in the direction of the town government guest house, and then a sky-high fire rose so that even the door of the store was shattered!
Zhao Xingchen's face changed, and he rushed out directly with the box, and disappeared in a flash! The three people in the store looked at each other, and the boss pointed to the door, looked at the two forum bosses and said, "He, is he really a star?"
The five-star boss said with a look of regret: "That's not the point! I feel like I've lost something......
As soon as he heard him say this, the boss sat down on the chair and said with a pale face: "Loss? You guys are a fart! Lao Tzu is a loss, a big loss!"
