Chapter 270: Parchment Scroll
Soon the night was spent in Ling Feng's cultivation like this, and the next day, just as it was dawn, Ling Feng heard frequent noises outside, and Ling Feng retreated from his cultivation state. When he opened the door, he saw a crowd of people hurrying away, all rushing in one direction. Ling Feng was also very curious about why the building day of the church only started at noon, and there were already people rushing there so early, after all, it was too early now. Originally, Ling Feng planned to find someone to ask, but after thinking about it, he gave up. So he decided to clean up himself and follow these people to see the situation of this Guan Zitang. Therefore, Ling Feng soon walked in the direction of the others. After walking for a while, Ling Feng suddenly found that this didn't seem to be the way to Guan Zi Tang Square, not only that, but Ling Feng found that not far away in front of him was the barrier of Guan Zi Tang, which made Ling Feng a little confused, he didn't understand where everyone was going. Ling Feng still thought in his heart, could it be that the construction day of this Guan Zi Hall was carried out elsewhere. However, it was useless for Ling Feng to think more, and he would only figure it out completely when he arrived at their meeting place.
After about an hour, Ling Feng saw that the number of people in front of him began to increase, and not only that, but those people didn't seem to move forward anymore. As Ling Feng took a closer look, he realized that this place was just like the bazaars in the countryside in his previous life. There were a bunch of people setting up their stalls on both sides of the road, and then there were a large number of cultivators on the middle road making their own selections. And the merchants who set up their stalls are constantly displaying their goods. Of course, Ling Feng was also very curious that Guan Zitang could have such a place, so he kept shuttling through the crowd to observe this place. There was one place in all these stalls that caught Ling Feng's attention, because he found that this stall seemed to have the largest number of buyers in the entire nearby market, and not only that, but even the cultivators who came to appreciate and discuss it were the most. Ling Feng also took the time to squeeze in in order to find out. It wasn't until Ling Feng squeezed in that he found that this person's stall was full of dazzling things, but what Ling Feng couldn't understand was that this person's stall was divided into several areas, and there was a wooden sign with his surname written on it in each area.
Ling Feng thought to himself, could it be that the things sold here still have surnames. At this moment, a cry suddenly came from behind Ling Feng, "Brother Fenglin". Hearing the call of the person who came, Ling Feng could tell that the cultivator who called him should be Lu Zhongliang, and then Ling Feng turned around to find the figure of the cultivator who called his name. When he found out that it was indeed Lu Zhongliang, he walked towards him. After the two met, Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fenglin, how did you get here?" Ling Feng told Lu Zhongliang what he had seen and heard in the morning and that he had come here out of curiosity. After listening to Ling Feng's narration, Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and said, "No wonder, I'll just say that this place is only known to our clansmen of Guan Zitang, and I didn't dare to confirm it when I first saw you." Hearing what Lu Zhongliang said, Ling Feng asked calmly, "What kind of place is this, I haven't seen anyone gather here on a large scale before, is it your Guanzitang tradition?" Lu Zhongliang explained, "Actually, it is not a tradition or a tradition, under normal circumstances, there is no market in this place, but because a large number of clansmen return from the outside world on the day of the establishment of the church, a market has slowly formed here, and the purpose of this market is actually to let them take out some of the treasures they have obtained outside and sell them to other clansmen, not only that, but also to let everyone help him identify those unknown treasures obtained from secret places or ruins."
Hearing what Lu Zhongliang said, Ling Feng also roughly understood the meaning of the existence of this place, and then asked, "Is it that after the end of the time, the market here will also end." Lu Zhongliang opened his mouth and replied, "So to speak, but if someone hasn't finished browsing all the stalls, or if the stall owner doesn't plan to leave, there will still be someone who stays and continues the transaction between them." However, most people will leave here and go to the square for the church building day. I don't know if there's anything else Brother Fenglin doesn't understand, just ask me." Not to mention that Ling Feng really had a problem, so he asked, "I don't know why this stall is the only one in this market that attracts so many people to watch, although there are many cultivators in other stalls, but this one is unusually numerous." Lu Zhongliang said: "Because you haven't participated in this bazaar before, some of these things must be unclear to you, just like the stall owner of this stall, he is very famous in this bazaar, people give him the nickname of the little prince of tomb robbery, the reason why he has this title is entirely because as long as the tomb is targeted by him, no one is spared, it can be said that as long as the tomb in his hand is almost swept away, as long as there is something of value in it, he will take it away." I think you've noticed the wooden signs on his stall." Hearing this, Ling Feng also nodded, he was also very puzzled about what this brand was for.
Lu Zhongliang continued, "In fact, the surname on those signs is that he stole the tomb, and each surname represents the surname of the owner of the tomb, and the surname is written on the front of the wooden plaque and the family background of the person is written on the back." Hearing this, Ling Feng also sighed, "I didn't expect this person to do it so carefully, no wonder it would attract so many cultivators." Lu Zhongliang did not stop there, but continued: "Actually, there is another reason why so many people gather here, that is, a small number of them came to talk to this guy about business." Hearing this, Ling Feng was a little depressed and asked, "Talk about business, what kind of business?" "Of course, it's about tomb robbing, this guy will take over some designated orders placed by customers, for example, if you want him to help you steal the treasures in the tomb of a certain family's ancestors, as long as he puts forward the price he thinks is appropriate, then he will help you steal back what you want according to your requirements, of course, he will not only take some yin work, as long as it is within his strength, he will also take it. In fact, sometimes if the price you pay is high enough, this person may take the risk to help you get what you want, and of course the deposit he asks for is astronomical." Hearing this, Ling Feng suddenly felt that this person was definitely a manufacturable material, and he felt that maybe he would be able to use this person in the future, such as asking him to help find out his mother's whereabouts, as soon as he thought of this, Ling Feng suddenly realized that he needed to deal with this person. So he asked, "I don't know what prerequisites or conditions are needed to do business with this person?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhongliang smiled and said, "Actually, this condition is simple and difficult." Hearing this, Ling Feng became interested, so he asked, "Then Brother Lao Zhongliang will inform me." Lu Zhongliang said: "Because this person is known as the little prince of tomb robbers, but every time he steals a lot of things, he doesn't know their true purpose or true value. If you can tell him the purpose and value of any of these items, he will not only agree to do business with you, but also give you the item. I wonder if Brother Fenglin is interested in challenging these unknown objects," Ling Feng said briskly, "In that case, then I'm going to give it a try." Then he and Lu Zhongliang squeezed in front of the stall. Looking at so many items in front of him, Ling Feng was also a little dazzled, the most important thing was that he didn't know which ones were not identified. Of course, Lu Zhongliang also saw Ling Feng's difficulty, after all, he might not be very clear about some things for the first time. So he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Fenglin, look at whether there are a few things divided in the area of each surname wooden card." According to what Lu Zhongliang said, Ling Feng also looked at the past, and indeed found that there were a few objects that were divided into each area, but the difference was that there were many and few objects that were divided. Lu Zhongliang continued: "Those are the tomb objects that Lu Doudou can't identify." Hearing the name of this person mentioned by Lu Zhongliang, Ling Feng also unconsciously muttered to himself, "Sure enough, it's a person, just like his name."
Hearing what Ling Feng said, Lu Zhongliang also opened his mouth to explain: "Actually, this Lu Daodou was not originally called by this name, his real name is Lu Wen. Later, because of these things he did, everyone began to fight Lu Doudou, Lu Doudou called him, and finally slowly he began to recognize what others called him." Ling Feng also showed a look that was exactly what he was. Then Ling Feng shifted his attention to those unknown tomb robbers. After looking around, a roll of parchment without any words caught his attention. So Ling Feng asked Lu Daodou, "I don't know where Your Excellency got this parchment, and what kind of exercises does the owner of the tomb practice?" Hearing Ling Feng ask Lu Daodou this, he was also suddenly stunned, he didn't expect that a cultivator would suddenly come out and ask him for information about this parchment scroll, you must know that this parchment scroll was not just put here this year, Lu Daodou remembered that he released the parchment scroll a few years ago for others to identify, but after several years, no one still understood this parchment scroll. However, he still wanted to find out what the parchment was, so he took it out at the market every year. Since Ling Feng asked about this parchment scroll, Lu Daodou replied, "This parchment scroll was obtained by me from an unknown tomb, so I don't know exactly what the owner of this tomb does. However, I remember that there were many pills in the tomb that I didn't know in addition to this parchment scroll, and I didn't take too many pills for fear of threatening my life if I ingested them by mistake. If you want to take a look at those elixirs, wait a minute, let me find them first." After finishing speaking, Lu Doudou began to rummage his storage ring, while Ling Feng was quietly observing the parchment roll and waiting for Lu Doudou.
To be honest, Lu Baodou didn't know why he tried so hard to find the elixir, but his intuition told him that maybe the person just now could help him unlock the secret of the parchment scroll. Lu Daodou's behavior also attracted the attention of the people around him, after all, they had never seen Lu Daodou so anxious before. Everyone is also talking about this matter. After more than ten minutes, everyone saw that two pills with different appearances suddenly flew out of Lu Doudou's storage ring. Then Lu Daodou opened his mouth and said, "These two pills were taken out with the parchment roll at that time, but I don't know the effect of these two pills." At this time, Ling Feng asked, "You shouldn't have taken out more than just these two at that time." Lu Daodou said: "It's true that it's not just two, in fact, halfway through my training, I met a few mysterious powerhouses, they found the pills on my body, so they bought some from me, originally he wanted to buy them all, but I wanted to keep a few, so I still have some left." However, from the urgency of that person, it can be seen that this elixir should not be a nameless elixir, I wonder if Your Excellency knows what kind of elixir it is." To be honest, Ling Feng didn't know much about this elixir, so he shook his head, but when he saw Ling Feng Lu Doudou shaking his head, he also sighed.
At this time, Ling Feng didn't notice Lu Daodou's sigh, because at this moment he was having a soul conversation with Hetu Luoshu. Hetu Luoshu opened his mouth and said, "Young Master, do you remember the manual I gave you when you first started to learn alchemy?" Ling Feng also remembered and nodded. Then Hetu Luoshu continued: "I feel that the breath in this parchment scroll is quite similar to the breath in the alchemy manual I gave you, and not only that, but I found that the refining techniques of those two pills are also somewhat similar to yours, but..." Hearing this, Ling Feng was also curious, so he asked, "What's it?" Hetu Luoshu continued, "It's just that I found that there are still some flaws in the refining technique of this pill compared to yours, and I need to feel it closely to confirm it thoroughly." Hearing this, Ling Feng also knew what it meant, so he immediately came back to his senses and said, "Brother Lu Doudou, I don't know if these two pills are convenient for me to appreciate with my own hands, to be honest, I am also an alchemist, and I am very curious about these pills." Hearing this, everyone also looked at Ling Feng in surprise, as if they had seen a treasure, and their eyes were shining. In fact, Ling Feng also knew very well that if he exposed the identity of the alchemist, he would definitely attract everyone's attention, but if he didn't expose it, Ling Feng knew very well that the other party would not easily hand over those two pills to him for appreciation.
Sure enough, as Ling Feng had expected, when Ling Feng revealed the identity of the alchemist, Lu Daodou, who was still a little hesitant, directly handed over the two pills in his hand to Ling Feng, and Ling Feng very politely took the two jade bottles containing the pills. After taking the jade bottle, Ling Feng first opened the cap of one of the jade bottles, and as soon as the cap was opened, a strong danxiang wafted out of it. With the fragrance of the danxiang floating out, these danxiang slowly formed the appearance of a demon beast in the air, and when the demon beast was completely formed, with the end of its beast roar, this demon beast formed by the fusion of danxiang also disappeared into the air. At this time, a cultivator who knew a little bit of the pill also exclaimed, "Sixth-order pill." Although this scream was not made by Ling Feng, everyone still looked at Ling Feng. In fact, Ling Feng didn't expect that the jade bottle contained a sixth-order elixir, after all, he had only heard about it before and hadn't really seen it. Despite this, Ling Feng nodded approvingly, and then spoke, "That's right, it's indeed a sixth-order elixir. According to the records of the alchemy world, the sixth-order elixir will be accompanied by the appearance of demon beasts once it appears, which is also the most direct method used to judge the sixth-order elixir, but as long as it is the appearance of the sixth-order elixir or above, it will be accompanied by the appearance of the demon beast, and according to the strength of the demon beast roar just now, it can be judged that this elixir is only a sixth-order elixir." When he said this, Ling Feng began to caress the body of this pill with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he put this pill back into the jade bottle again, and then said, "Now I can be sure that this pill is a sixth-order pill, there is no doubt about it."
Looking at everyone's rather surprised faces, Ling Feng continued, "According to the texture of this pill, it can be judged that this pill is a sixth-order top grade, as for the value, it is inconvenient for me to explain it here." Hearing Ling Feng's words, everyone began to talk like a frying pan. This was Ling Feng who opened the cap of the second jade bottle, and a rich scent of Dan fragrance wafted out from it again, and as Ling Feng had expected, the demon beast let out a beast roar and disappeared. After some touching, Ling Feng put the pill back into the jade bottle again. After that, Ling Feng was also very polite and returned the two jade bottles to Lu Daodou. While everyone was still talking, Ling Feng started talking to Hetu Luoshu again, "How about Uncle He, I don't know if you sensed something." Hetu Luoshu also slowly opened his eyes, and then said, "Well, it's really not wrong. The refining technique of these two pills is very similar to the one you used, but there seems to be something missing in the middle, which makes this pill not perfect. It seems that the person buried in that tomb should be the family descendants of the alchemy manual himself, as the man said that the "Alchemy Source Record" he left for future generations is not complete, but I think it is necessary to go to the location of the cemetery in the future, after all, what your alchemy lacks most now is the Danfang, and only if the amount of Danfang you read is large, you will have the capital to create your own pill in the future. If my guess is correct, the parchment scroll is a pill, and we will only know what kind of pill it is written in it."
Hearing this, Ling Feng opened his mouth and said, "I have observed that roll of parchment, there is nothing on it", when speaking of this, Ling Feng suddenly remembered the methods of hiding the handwriting on the paper in his previous life, and then said to Hetu Luoshu, "Could it be...". Of course, Hetu Luoshu knew what Ling Feng was thinking, and before Ling Feng could say what he thought, Hetu Luoshu opened his mouth and said, "What you think is indeed right, but the way this world solves this kind of thing is different from what you had in your previous life. This kind of parchment that records the pill can only be unraveled by cultivators who have practiced alchemy with spiritual power, and as for the method, it is also very simple, when the time comes, you only need to drop a drop of blood on the parchment scroll and the handwriting will appear." Ling Feng also said with doubts, "It's so simple?" "Yes, it's that simple, but if the parchment leaves you, the handwriting will disappear again in half an hour." Ling Feng asked, "Why is this happening?" Hetu Luoshu explained, "In fact, this is a method used by those alchemists in the past to prevent other cultivators from peeking at it, it can be said that it is a bit like a ring to recognize the master, when you drop your own blood on it, that Dan Fang will only belong to you, unless you take the initiative to transfer it or say that this Dan Fang can be owned by others again when you end your life." Speaking of which, Ling Feng also understood a little.
