Li Muxuan sat on a small stall, eating all kinds of snacks slowly, while talking with the chubby shopkeeper and praising his craftsmanship. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The fat shopkeeper's old face turned red: There is a fairy who has praised our craftsmanship, and when we get home in the future, some of them will blow it! Look at how Zhang Yuanwai at the street corner is showing off in front of us!

After a long time, Long Hanli, who finally came back to his senses, looked at Mu Xuan, who was feasting, with a funny smile, and sat down beside him.

Lao Zhang saw a fairy-like person sitting in front of his stall, just glanced at it quickly, and felt a little dizzy, and hurriedly put the best dim sum on it, hoping that the fairy could eat a bite.

Long Hanli didn't want to eat at all, but just looked at Li Muxuan with interest.

Seeing that Li Muxuan diligently fed the dim sum to Squeak, Squeak looked disdainful, and hid in Li Muxuan's robe again, not wanting to take care of him.

Long Hanli looked at Li Muxuan's deflated appearance and felt very funny.

Li Muxuan was "lonely" admiring the "red fragrance" in his hand, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, and couldn't help but admire:

"Good workmanship! To be able to make the dried meat so light and sweet, red and crispy, refreshing and long-lasting, the master must have a secret! ”

Lao Zhang's grinning boss said with great joy: "Immortal Chang Mingjian, this 'Chiming incense' is a family handicraft, which is to take beef leg meat, thin slices, add secret materials, put it into a small jar to marinate, and then take it out and expose it, occasionally smeared with spices and salt, and the natural sweet aftertaste!" ”

"And Lao Zhang, I only take the old oxtail and tendons, put them in a mortar and pound them, take the top grade and concoct them, expose them to the sun for two hours when the sun is fullest, and immediately place them in the ice cellar for an hour, so half a moon. Finally, it is air-dried in a cool place, and 16 different ingredients are applied in the process to obtain this dried meat. After the county lord tasted it, he was shocked and gave 'Chiming incense' as a tribute to the county......"

Li Muxuan listened to Lao Zhang boasting about his craftsmanship, and said with emotion: "The ancients said: 'You don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine'. When you hear this today, you will know the wonders! ”

Long Hanli smiled and said: "Mu Xuanjiu has been in the sect for a long time, and when he sees this prosperous scene in the world today, is it possible that he has moved his mortal heart?" ”

Li Muxuan tasted the red fragrance carefully and said, "Senior sister, don't you taste it?" The taste is still very good. ”

Long Hanli shook his head. "I don't usually eat meat."

After Li Muxuan finished eating the delicious food in his hand, he threw Lao Zhang a low-grade spirit stone, which was regarded as thanking him for his intention to tell his own craft in detail.

Lao Zhang's eyes widened, and he bowed in thanks.

Although he was a mortal who didn't know anything before, he had more or less heard about some immortals along the way, and knew the preciousness of this spirit stone, so he made up his mind: I don't need to exchange spirit stones for gold, I want to exchange some immortal things and take them home as heirlooms!

Leaving the stall, the two continued to wander in the Nanzhong Valley, full of vendors and temporary shops, the endless spiritual material treasures opened Li Muxuan's eyes, and many treasures that he had only seen in the jade slips made him confirm them one by one here, and he felt that he had benefited a lot, and even improved a lot with his own material identification skills.

"Huh!"

Li Muxuan was shocked, stopped at the counter in front of him, and looked at a cyan stone in the counter.

The little guy next to him saw Li Muxuan looking at Qingshi carefully, and said with a smile: "This immortal has good eyesight!" This is a piece of high-grade lapis lazuli, which can be used as a material for high-grade spiritual weapons, it is rare that this piece of lapis lazuli has been preliminarily polished, and you only need to refine it a little bit to refine it when you buy it! ”

Li Muxuan was silent, just held the stone in his palm and explored it carefully:

The stone is pale green, the weight is light, the texture is hard, and there is a feeling of moisturization when touched. Looking at the light, it is slightly translucent, and there are a few faint dark cyan lines inside, which emits an uncertain brilliance with the rotation of the stone......

All these characteristics are only the characteristics of high-grade lapis lazuli, Li Muxuan smiled slightly, and handed the lapis lazuli in his hand to Long Hanli. "Senior sister, please look at this stone."

Long Hanli took the stone, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "This is a piece of high-grade lapis lazuli." Did the junior brother see anything special? ”

Li Muxuan smiled without answering, and asked the little guy: "What is the price of this stone?" ”

The little guy didn't think about it, and replied, "Two hundred spirits." ”

As a piece of lapis lazuli material, this price is already a bit high, but it is not outrageous.

Li Muxuan nodded, and said to Long Hanli with a smile: "Senior sister, this stone is the heart of the junior brother, please ask the senior sister to pay the bill, right?" ”

Long Hanli's face was pretty, and then he smiled and said: "You little monkey, you say that you are your heart, and you want to buy it from my senior sister, you are not a good person!" ”

Laughing and laughing, Long Hanli immediately took out two large pieces of spirit stones and threw them to the little guy.

Xiao Wu saw that it was a whole large spirit stone, and his heart blossomed: the spirit stones circulating on the market are all standard spirit stones produced by gathering spirit formations, and they are distinct; This time, the large piece of spirit stone paid by Long Hanli was a block of lower-grade spirit stones mined from the spirit stone vein, although the aura in it was more than that of ordinary medium-grade spirit stones, but it was still more than the aura in the standard lower-grade spirit stones, and the value was slightly higher.

The little guy nodded and sent away the "high roller", but he secretly despised Li Muxuan in his heart, as a male monk, he accompanied such a noble and beautiful female cultivator to buy things, and even asked the other party to pay the bill, which shows that he is a soft backbone!

Out of the store, Long Hanli took the lapis lazuli in his hand and said with a smile: "This little second thought that he had met a chick, and it was sold at a good price, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes, I think Mu Xuan probably didn't want to be a fool, right?" ”

Li Muxuan didn't care at all and explained: "This stone is indeed lazurite, and it is still the best kind!" ”

Long Hanli was puzzled: "Then Mu Xuan, why are you?" A piece of lapis lazuli is not yet in your eyes. ”

Li Muxuan continued: "In fact, this lapis lazuli is just a stone shell condensed by the real treasure inside. Lapis lazuli is light and hard, it takes tens of thousands of years to slowly form, and the appearance of this stone is even a little loose, but the inside is extremely dense, looking at its traces, it is only a thousand years to form......"

Li Muxuan took the lapis lazuli from Long Hanli's hand again and explained: "Ordinary people will only think that it is because the surface layer has been formed for too short a time, but the argumentation technique passed on to me by Senior Brother Zheng is very fine, so I can see the strangeness. Inside this lapis lazuli, there must be the treasure of Zhong Lingyuxiu, which can gather the light spirit of heaven and earth, so as to assimilate the rock layer to form this lapis lazuli. After the senior sister went back, she could slowly grind away the outer layer and know the clues. ”

Long Hanli clapped his hands and smiled: "Mu Xuan is really extraordinary!" How can this treasure fall second, Mu Xuan, your skill in distinguishing materials is what I admire! ”

"Hahaha! Senior sister has won the prize! Li Muxuan was also happy, and then pretended to be casual and said, "Since Senior Sister has seen my skills, I am not welcome to this stone?" ”

With a "whoosh", the bluestone in Li Muxuan's hand disappeared and entered Long Hanli's storage bag.

"Mu Xuan, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet! Is it possible for my senior sister to pay for the things she bought and give them to you like this? Long Hanli pretended to be angry and said.

Just as the two were laughing, Li Muxuan heard the sound of drums not far away, and couldn't help but turn his head to look:

Hundreds of zhang away, a high platform was erected, arranged in the shape of a ring, and the red and green were wrapped on it, so it was not festive; On the south side of the ring, a big red drum is being beaten by a wrestler, and the drum beat is very rhythmic, and the passionate drum sound makes people's blood boil.

Li Muxuanqi said: "There is still a competition in the ring here? ”

Long Hanli explained: "This is the 'Dragon Gate Competition' that is held every time the Southern Minor School Association, which aims to screen out a group of loose cultivators with high combat power for the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and will also give a lot of guidance. ”

Li Muxuan nodded, and asked strangely: "This Dragon Gate Competition can only screen good players, but shouldn't disciples be accepted from an early age?" ”

Long Hanli glanced at Li Muxuan, and said angrily: "Although this place is already far away from the Yuqing Gate, it is still in its sphere of influence, how can it allow the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to recruit disciples on a large scale?" At most, it is to recruit some casual cultivators who come to admire, and a few disciples who have been eliminated by the Yuqing Sect......"

"Indeed, disciples are the foundation of the sect, and no matter how rigorous they are, they can't be too rigorous." After listening to this, Li Muxuan felt a little lamented that his family's strict control over the recruitment of disciples, but he also agreed in his heart.

Long Hanli sighed and said, "So, my master has been sighing all the time that there is no successor to the Scattered Cultivation Alliance!" ”

With that, the two walked to the ring. I saw that this ring was very high and extremely wide, although it was temporarily built with wood and stone, but it could be seen that the formation was brilliant and very solid.

The range of five or six zhang near the ring was already impassable, and countless monks gathered around the ring, pointing and pointing, eager to try.

There are also a small number of demon beasts of all kinds on the side of the ring, most of them have opened the basic spiritual intelligence, although the number is small, but Li Muxuan takes a rough look, the average cultivation is much higher than that of the monk.

In the ring, a green-robed monk stood in the center, burly. Under the strong wind, the robe hunted sounded, and with the breath of the Jindan monk, it looked extremely majestic. It is the person Li Muxuan and the others saw when they entered the valley before.

"Fellow travelers! The old man is the elder of the Nanzhong Valley Scattered Cultivation League, and he is a hundred grasses. This Dragon Gate Competition is presided over by me, no matter the human race and demon clan, as long as they can defeat nine people in this ring, or show some outstanding points in the competition, they will consider absorbing the disciples of my Scattered Cultivation Alliance, treating them equally, and teaching the exercises. ”

"The ring is already full of formations, and the old man will intervene at any time on the side, so he can let go of his actions when fighting, so as not to worry about losing his hand and killing him...... Note that the monks who conspire in tandem, have blood contracts, overdraft the Three Jewels, rely too much on external objects, and have a broken foundation will definitely not be taken under our sect. Let's get started! ”

As soon as Fan Baicao's words fell, the drums beat seven louder sounds, and then fell silent.

The chatter in the arena disappeared suddenly, and all the monks and demon beasts looked around, but no one spoke, and there was silence for a while, and only the sound of distant vendors was heard near the ring.

Li Muxuan looked at it with interest, feeling a somewhat stagnant atmosphere, and laughed in his heart: Now the first one to go up, although everyone is looking forward to it, but it is more likely to return with a feather, and everyone only has one chance to 'jump over the dragon gate'!

Finally, a big man in black couldn't hold back and jumped on the stage.

Boom! A crisp timpani sounded, announcing the official start of the Dragon Gate Competition......
