Chapter 625: Inside the Five-Colored Forest
Walking out of the gate of Liucheng Auction House, Qiao Yun glanced up at the sky, then identified the direction and quickly left the place.
Not long after Qiao Yun left, a tall figure slowly walked out of the shadows, this person looked at the magnificent Liucheng Auction House, a strange flash in his eyes, and then followed Qiao Yun from a distance.
After a while, Qiao Yun saw the signboard of Qiu's refining shop from a distance, and he was slightly happy in his heart, and he even quickened his pace, and soon pushed the door and entered the store.
"Yes, it's punctual!" said the shopkeeper, who was concentrating on wiping a magic weapon in his hand, without raising his head.
Qiao Yun didn't speak, and saw that there was no one else in the refining shop except for the shopkeeper, so he patted the storage bag next to him and put 1,300 lower-grade spirit stones on the counter in front of the shopkeeper.
Seeing the spirit stone on the table, the shopkeeper smiled indifferently, raised his head and was about to speak, but when he saw a big man with a beard standing in front of him, he was slightly stunned, but then he thought of the three illusions on Qiao Yun's face, and said with a faint smile: "You have got 1,300 spirit stones in such a short period of time, it seems that you do have some ability!"
As he spoke, the shopkeeper took away the 1,300 spirit stones on the table, and then was about to continue to bow his head and wipe the magic weapon in his hand, but seeing that Qiao Yun didn't have any intention of leaving, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What, is there anything else?"
Qiao Yun slowly took off the three illusions on his face, revealing his original face, and then put the three illusions on the counter very casually, looked at the shopkeeper with a smile, and said, "Did the shopkeeper forget something?"
The shopkeeper listened to Qiao Yun's words, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he stared at Qiao Yun for a long time, and then asked tentatively: "You... Do you see that?"
"I can't even see a small divine mark, so how can I survive on Chengning Island unharmed. Qiao Yun said lightly, but he was actually sweating profusely. Previously, Qiao Yun only relied on the strength of his own divine sense, and vaguely felt that when he said that he would take away the three illusions first and then pay the spirit stone, the shopkeeper's divine sense seemed to sweep lightly on the three illusions, but Qiao Yun was not sure whether the other party had done anything or not, but when he entered the store just now, the shopkeeper knew that it was himself who entered the store without looking up, which made Qiao Yun even more suspicious, so there was a subsequent temptation, but he didn't expect the other party to really mark his divine sense.
No wonder the other party is relieved to hand over the three illusions to him, Qiao Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, as long as the three illusions have the other party's divine sense mark, even if he hides somewhere, as long as he enters the other party's divine consciousness range, he will not be able to escape the other party's palm. It seems that the strength is low and he really has no right to speak, and he will be marked by the master's divine sense casually, and he knows almost nothing. Qiao Yun secretly reminded himself in his heart, he must be more cautious in his actions in the future, walking on the Star Continent is no better than walking on the earth, where the masters are like clouds, if you don't be vigilant everywhere, I am afraid that if you are careless, you will be doomed.
The shopkeeper was not as calm as Qiao Yun, he couldn't imagine that his divine sense mark under a late-stage foundation building monk could be discovered by this inconspicuous ninth-level Qi cultivation monk in front of him, how could he not be surprised. After taking a closer look at Qiao Yun again, the shopkeeper's divine sense swept over the three illusions, erased the divine sense mark he had made earlier, and then took a deep breath and said, "So, you already know the tail behind you?"
Qiao Yun listened to the shopkeeper's words, and a trace of unkind smile crossed the corner of his mouth, "Naturally, but this tail will disappear from Chengning Island in a while." β
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered slightly, and he really couldn't figure out where Qiao Yun had the courage to dare to say such a thing. However, thinking that Qiao Yun could see through his divine sense mark, the shopkeeper was silent again, and he really believed that Qiao Yun could cut off the tail behind him.
"Shopkeeper, our refining shop sells things, and it will protect the buyer's information. Qiao Yun suddenly burst out of nowhere.
The shopkeeper was stunned by Qiao Yun's question, and he didn't know what Qiao Yun meant by this, but he still nodded solemnly, "That's natural, this is the most basic principle of my Qiu Clan's refining shop!"
Qiao Yun smiled and nodded, "Okay, then please ask the shopkeeper to make an oath, I have already thought of the oath for the shopkeeper." If the shopkeeper reveals any information about my purchase of the Three Illusions, then I can't save it for this life!"
"I don't think there's a need for this, as a foundation building monk, don't I even have this bit of integrity?" The shopkeeper was already a little unhappy in his heart, he couldn't imagine that this little monk in front of him was so bold as to force himself to swear.
"Shopkeeper, it's not like I can't trust you. Qiao Yun shook his head with a smile, and his right hand knot tapped gently on the counter in front of him rhythmically, "It's just that the shopkeeper's previous behavior really makes me feel a little chilled! Shopkeeper, you are a senior, so naturally you don't care about this little oath, but for me, a small cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, I can only truly feel at ease after the shopkeeper has sworn an oath! Otherwise, I will inevitably not be able to control my mouth and go outside to say something that is not conducive to our refining shop!"
The shopkeeper listened to Qiao Yun's words, his face was blue and red, and his eyes flickered, but in the end, under Qiao Yun's aggressive gaze, he still reluctantly said slowly: "I swear, I will never disclose any information about the guests who buy the three illusions, if you violate this oath, you will not be able to cultivate an inch in this life!"
"Now you're satisfied!" After swearing, the shopkeeper glanced at Qiao Yun coldly, "I have erased the divine sense mark on the three illusions, you can go!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper had issued an eviction order, Qiao Yun smiled faintly, raised his hand and picked up the three illusions on the counter and put them on his face, and in a blink of an eye, he turned into a scholar again, "Don't the shopkeeper be in a hurry to give an eviction order! Anyway, there is still a period of time before Haishi, and your store has no customers, so let me add some popularity to your store here." β
Qiao Yun sat down cross-legged on the open space in front of the counter, patted the storage bag, and took out the two high-grade magic weapons and the cyan jade slip that he had obtained at the Liucheng Auction House before. The shopkeeper wanted to scold Qiao Yun out loud, but when he saw the three things Qiao Yun took out, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, but his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Qiao Yun sitting on the ground with more interest.
Qiao Yun ignored the shopkeeper, but first picked up two high-grade magic weapons, and his divine sense swept over the two magic weapons, Qiao Yun found that these two magic weapons can be used without refining, although the power of such magic weapons will be less than the magic weapons that need to be refined, but the advantage of such magic weapons is that they can be used directly, not restricted by refining, and can be used directly by anyone.
After understanding that these two high-grade magic weapons did not need to be refined, Qiao Yun directly put the two items into the storage bag, and then his divine sense quickly swept into the jade slip.
With a "hum", the content of the jade slip continued to enter Qiao Yun's mind, Qiao Yun saw a lot of introductions about the pills, and knew that this was a jade slip that recorded the pills of the cultivation realm, and there were many introductions of all kinds of pills in it, which opened Qiao Yun's eyes and learned a lot of pills that he had not seen in the alchemy experience of the master of the Fog Hidden Castle.
However, in this jade slip, the name, use, color, smell, and some simple pharmacological and medicinal properties of these pills were only introduced, and there was no pill recipe for refining pills.
Qiao Yun knew that time was limited at the moment, so he didn't study each pill carefully, but frantically imprinted all the contents of the jade slip in his mind as much as possible.
"When, when, whenβ"
A long bell echoed outside the refining shop, which came from the inner city of the entire Liucheng, and at the beginning of every twelve hours, the bell would ring on time, spreading all over the streets and alleys of Liucheng, telling the time for people.
At this time, Qiao Yun slowly withdrew his divine sense from the jade slip, and then quickly put away the jade slip and stood up.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Qiao Yun knew that the time had come, so he hugged his fist at the shopkeeper, then turned around and quickly left the Qiu Clan's refining shop.
Looking at Qiao Yun's distant back, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed gloom, and he muttered in a low voice: "Hmph, I was actually deceived by this junior! Those two magic weapons and jade slips obviously have the divine sense marks of the foundation building period monks, but this junior can't see it at all......"
"Hey, but this kid is really unlucky, and he has been targeted by other foundation building monks, and it seems that he doesn't have much time to live. The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, and continued to bow his head and wipe the magic weapon in his hand, and the unhappiness in his heart that he was forced to swear by Qiao Yun before also faded a lot.
Besides, after Qiao Yun got out of Qiu's refining shop, he ran all the way to the southern district of Liucheng, but he did not go directly to the Guiyan Inn, but went directly out of the city from the southern district.
After leaving the city, Qiao Yun immediately cast a Ling Feng step and galloped away in the direction of the five-color forest at an extremely fast speed.
And not long after Qiao Yun left the city, a tall figure appeared at the southernmost gate of Liucheng, and it quickly identified the direction in the dark, and then chased down at the same speed.
Qiao Yun ran in the five-colored forest, listening to the constant rustling sound under his feet, but his heart was extremely calm.
Soon, Qiao Yun came to a small lake in the five-color forest, and the bright moonlight swept over the branches of the trees, obliquely reflected on the surface of the lake without a trace of waves, and the entire lake surface was reflected into a silvery white color, like a silver mirror, exuding a bleak and charming atmosphere in this dark night.
Qiao Yun slapped the storage bag on his waist, and dozens of dark array flags suddenly appeared in his hand, Qiao Yun's footsteps moved frequently, and his right hand kept waving out, and the dark array flags disappeared in the void one by one with Qiao Yun's shot, slowly forming a huge formation.
When a formation flag was used up, Qiao Yun quickly took out another and made up for it, Qiao Yun had already saved a lot of array flags in the past two years, and it undoubtedly came in handy at this moment.
When Qiao Yun hid the last array flag in the void, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but cross a slight arc, and then sat cross-legged on the lakeshore and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
