CHAPTER XXIX
The market in Xialin Town is very lively, and monks from all over the world gather here, and there is a dazzling array of immortal materials from the low to the high. It took them hours just to look at every stall in the bazaar.
Yi Xichen fell in love with a lot of immortal materials, but he almost didn't buy anything, after all, buying a new sword for the eldest grandson Jun was more urgent than buying immortal materials for him. And since they want to buy it, they will buy a good sword, the danger of the Void Realm is not trivial, if they buy another broken copper and iron that will break if it is light, it is impossible for them to see the Void Sect Master.
I couldn't buy the sword I liked for a while, and the two of them were not in a hurry. They still have a few days to spare, anyway, this market is full of people, and the people who set up the stalls are different every day, and there is still time to see again.
Yi Xichen handed over the spirit stone to the eldest grandson Jun and asked him to go shopping again. He took a position himself, and took out the immortal materials that he didn't need in his hand and the beast egg to sell.
In the end, there are many people who ask about the scarcity of spirit beast eggs, but because they don't know what kind of spirit beast eggs they are, the price is not cheap, after all, there are still many people who ask, and few people who intend to buy them.
After a cup of tea, a sword cultivator walked to Yi Xichen's stall.
The sword cultivator asked, "What kind of egg is this?" β
Yi Xichen looked at him, especially at the saber on his waist a few more times. It's not the best, but it's barely a good sword. He hurriedly said: "The egg of the natural spirit beast! Daoist friends raise a spirit pet, right? β
The sword cultivator said: "I know it's a spirit beast, but what kind of spirit beast is it?" β
"Which kind of spirit beast does the Dao Chief like?"
"......" Jian Xiu looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have any of the ones I like?" β
"Perhaps?"
Of course, Yi Xichen was talking nonsense with his eyes open. Just this one egg he picked up inexplicably, the spirit beast is so rare, where did he pick up the second one. However, even if you can't make a deal right away, it's good to investigate the customer's needs.
"If there is, I would like to raise a rainbow crane, which can ride it through the clouds and mist, chic!"
The monks kept pets, except for those purely for their liking, and most of them because they were useful. Some spirit pets can help the master find spirit stones, some spirit pets can help the master kill enemies, some spirit pets can enhance the master's five elements of cultivation, and some spirit pets are directly a symbol of identity.
Yi Xichen touched his chin and said, "My egg, maybe it's a rainbow crane hatched inside." β
Jian Xiu: "......"
With an expression of "who are you fooling", Jian Xiu said: "Although I have never raised a rainbow crane, but the rainbow crane eggs are as smooth and flawless as white jade, how can you be a rainbow crane in this gray egg!" β
Yi Xichen said: "I found this egg in the soil, it may be that it has been buried in the soil for a long time and has been stained, so it looks gray." You don't think it's a rainbow crane, so tell me, what will it be? β
Jian Xiu was speechless for a while. Can this spirit beast egg be colored like jade?? Is there such a thing in the world?? But what it is, that's really hard to say......
Yi Xichen struck while the iron was hot: "If this is a flawless rainbow crane egg, but it is priceless, you may not be able to afford it, right?" Although my one has some flaws, the hair may be a little gray after hatching, but the price is cheap! β
This is also true, since spirit beasts are rare and rare, the price is naturally high, although this sword cultivator is greedy, but he really can't afford to buy a rainbow crane. However, after a long struggle, he still shook his head and left.
Yi Xichen set up a stall for a day, and the immortal materials made some moves, but in the end he couldn't sell the beast egg. There are many people who are interested, but not many people are really willing to buy it. After all, the value of the innate spirit beast is there, and those who can afford it would rather buy a good one, and those who can't afford it can only watch the excitement.
The eldest grandson Jun went shopping by himself for a day, but he didn't buy the sword, he only bought a heart-protecting gold iron armor - he inquired about the realm of nothingness, and heard that there is a thunderstorm there all the year round, and the heart-protecting gold iron armor is resistant to the thunder attribute, so he specially bought it for Yi Xichen.
Yi Xichen looked at the things he bought, but his face fell: "How can you buy this kind of thing!" How many spirit stones did you spend? β
"Five high-grade spirit stones."
"Five high-grade spirit stones!! Did you bargain? β
"......" bargaining, this kind of thing is not in line with the character of the eldest grandson Jun. If it weren't for the lack of money around him, he would have "don't want this and this, and pack everything else for me".
Yi Xichen covered his chest in pain. It's really not a good family to know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the eldest grandson Jun, a loser, threw out five high-grade spirit stones as soon as he made a move!
"I've heard that there's a thunderstorm in the Sea of Nothingness......"
"Aren't you struck by lightning! You won't die with two slashes! You can also change your hairstyle by the way! β
Eldest grandson Jun: "......"
None of them are wood attribute spiritual roots, and they have cultivated to survive, so they will not be killed by ordinary thunder and fire. The eldest grandson, Jun Xiu, is profound, and those thunders are not to be feared by him. But Yi Xichen, with his current cultivation, if he forcibly carried the past, he would probably be injured, and all kinds of pain would be inevitable. If they had enough spirit stones, Yi Xichen would naturally buy a full set of armor, but they were poor, and the money could only be used on the blade.
The eldest grandson Jun bought everything, and Yi Xichen had no choice but to accept it. He gently knocked on the head of the eldest grandson Jun and scolded: "Stupid! After scolding, he laughed himself, but he wasn't really angry.
The two returned to their lodgings to rest, Eldest Sun Zijun began to meditate and silently recite the Pure Heart Mantra, and Yi Xichen began to calculate how their remaining spirit stones should be spentβthey had already calculated yesterday, but today Eldest Sun Zijun spent five high-grade spirit stones to disrupt his plan, and he had to redo the plan.
After counting their pitiful possessions, Yi Xichen carefully put the spirit beast eggs into the Qiankun bag - for now, it seemed that this was their only hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
So early the next morning, the two got up and prepared to continue to go out to set up a stall.
Yi Xichen packed up his things, but after untying the Qiankun bag, he glared at him and roared, "Where's my egg!! β
The eldest grandson Jun was getting dressed, and he walked over while tying his belt. The immortal materials in the Qiankun bag are still there, but the egg is gone.
Yi Xichen was so anxious that he rummaged through the cabinets, but the egg was gone, and the eldest grandson Jun was not only not in a hurry, but also a little gloating: "If you lose it, you can lose it, you don't have to look for it." β
"How's that going to work!" Yi Xichen glared at him, "Just say you're a loser!" That's no ordinary egg! It's a spirit stone! It's your sword! It's my magic weapon! Come with me! β
The eldest grandson Jun had no choice but to rummage through the house with him.
However, the two searched for a long time and didn't find it, but they heard a grunt, and the spirit beast egg rolled out from under the bed by itself.
Yi Xichen was stunned, rushed over and held the egg in his arms, so excited as if the egg was laid by himself, and kissed it twice: "Baby! β
The eldest grandson stood aside with a black face.
The spirit beast egg was about asleep yesterday, so it didn't move, but today it woke up again, rolling around in Yi Xichen's arms, coquettish. Yi Xichen didn't have the time to get tired of it, so he carefully stuffed it into the bag and went out.
After the stalls were opened, they were more lively than yesterday. After all, yesterday it was just a lifeless egg, but today it is full of vitality, rolling around the stall, and constantly leaning on Yi Xichen, who pushed it back to the middle of the stall again and again for interested monks to see.
It's a pity that the situation is still the same as yesterday, there are many people who see it, and not many people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
A sword cultivator stood still in front of the stall, and Yi Xichen looked up to see that it was still the guy who had hesitated for a long time yesterday. It seems that he is really interested in this spirit beast, but after all, he is not a person who spends money, and he always has to think a lot before buying such a treasure.
"What did Daoyou think yesterday? But you've decided to buy it? β
That Jian Xiu's face showed a struggling expression: "This ...... Is it really possible that it is a rainbow crane? β
Yi Xichen said: "It must be a bird's egg, but whether it is a rainbow crane or not, I dare not guarantee." If the Taoist just wants to ride the birds through the clouds, I think it should be able to do it. β
"This ...... How are you going to sell it? I don't have a lot of spirit stones either......"
"If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can exchange things for them!"
"What do you need?"
The eldest grandson Jun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Qilin Blood, Wind Bead, Xuan Tortoise Shell, Panlong Scale, Thunder Fruit, do you have them?" β
The sword cultivator gasped. All five things are natural treasures, and they are extremely difficult to obtain. If it's really a rainbow crane egg, it's fair to replace two or three of them. The problem is that some things can't be exchanged for fairness, and the treasures of heaven and earth are inherently priceless, and no matter how many spirit stones there are, they may not be able to buy them.
Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Jun looked at his face and knew that he didn't. In fact, the eldest grandson Jun never expected these things to be so easy to get, and the reason why he brought it up was just luck.
Probably knowing that he was going to be sold, the spirit beast egg suddenly hit Yi Xichen's calf angrily, and hit it several times. Yi Xichen hurriedly patted it: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I'm looking for a good master who loves you." β
It doesn't matter if you don't shoot it, as soon as you beat it, you just hear a click, and the eggshell suddenly cracks.
Everyone was stunned.
A piece of the cracked eggshell fell off, revealing a small notch, and a paw protruded from the notch. Yi Xichen immediately pounced and stuffed his paw back. , when will it not be broken, but at this time, it will be broken, so that people can see the unattractive appearance of the guy inside, and the price will be greatly discounted!
However, how could the fat chirp be so peaceful, Yi Xichen blocked a gap, clicked, and there was another gap in the eggshell, and the gray and round bird's head came out of the eggshell.
Yi Xichen stared. This is the first time he has seen this spirit beast, and he originally had a little expectation that the eldest grandson Jun was mistaken, maybe it was filled with spirit birds such as rainbow cranes and eagles, but the bird's head that appeared at this moment made his heart half cold.
Crash!
The eggshell was finally completely shattered, and a round, fluffy bird and beast stood in the broken eggshell, with two black eyes blazing, and raised its head and opened its mouth: "Wow! β
The corners of Yi Xichen's mouth twitched. Look at this appearance, listen to this voice, the name Fat Chirp is simply too apt! If he were to give him a name, he would definitely give it something like this!
The sword cultivator looked at Fei Qi blankly: "This ...... This...... This isn't a rainbow crane, is it? β
Yi Xichen smiled dryly: "At least it's a spirit bird, right?" It's sure to fly, too! As he spoke, he grabbed the two fleshy wings and fanned them, "Do you still want it?" β
Fat Chirp glared at Yi Xichen angrily, turned his head and wanted to peck him, but his wings were lifted by him, and his neck was not long enough to peck him. It chirped angrily: Bastard, you actually dare to sell me!!
What made Yi Xichen feel fortunate was that Jian Xiu was not scared away by the fat chirp's unattractive appearance, it seemed that although he liked the Rainbow Crane the most, as long as it was a bird's spirit animal, he was also interested.
Jian Xiu said: "This ...... How are you going to sell this? Such a little gray bird, you can't change the treasure of heaven and earth! β
Fat Haw was despised and immediately turned his head and glared at the sword cultivator with a murderous gaze. It's a pity that its fierce appearance is very cute in the eyes of Jian Xiu, and he can't help but squat down and touch its head.
"Wow!" Fat chirp pecked back the dishonest hand.
"Don't be so fierce, fatty." Yi Xichen flicked his fat buttocks, raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have fifty high-grade spirit stones?" β
Jian Xiu was stunned for a moment. Although this gray bird was not good-looking, as a natural spirit beast, fifty high-grade spirit stones was already an extremely cheap price. He hurriedly said, "Yes." β
"Fifty high-grade spirit stones, plus your sword." Yi Xichen said, "How about it, there is no more cost-effective price at this price, right?" β
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the sword cultivator immediately showed a look of resistance, and said without thinking about it: "No!" β
"With such a cheap price, what are you not satisfied with?"
"It's really not expensive. But if you want immortal materials or spirit stones, it's good to discuss, and it is absolutely impossible to ask for my sword! β
Yi Xichen wondered: "Dao Chief's sword is indeed a good sword, but it's not a sword, right?" You changed my spirit beast, and then went to fight again, wouldn't it be okay? β
In the bazaar, the swords that are sold directly at the stall are often not good swords. And sword cultivators who have a certain degree of cultivation often buy their own dark iron casting swords, and in the process of casting, they can add spirit stones to strengthen their attributes according to their own habits, and so on. However, it takes at least two or three months to build a sword, and Yi Xichen and Eldest Sun Zijun are worried that they will miss the time to go to the Void Realm, so they retreat to a ready-made one, otherwise it is actually more convenient to buy materials directly to cast a sword.
"I've been using this sword for ten years, and it's long since become one with me. Even if I am given ten rainbow cranes, I will never change them! β
Sword cultivation pays attention to the unity of man and sword, and will pour his own spiritual power into the sword. Over time, the sword is used well, and it is like a part of the body. However, this spiritual power can also be recovered, and it can be lifted by itself, otherwise all sword cultivators will not be able to change swords for the rest of their lives. It's just that since the sword cultivator said so, what he was reluctant to do was definitely not the spiritual power he poured into the sword, but his relationship with the sword, so it was really a thousand gold.
Yi Xichen was a little depressed. It's easy to see a good sword, and people are also interested in fat chirps, but they can't change it.
The sword cultivator looked at Yi Xichen, and then at the eldest grandson Jun, and found that the eldest grandson Jun was a sword cultivator but did not wear a sword, and immediately understood. He said, "You sold this spirit beast to get a good sword, right?" But the sword cultivators cherish their own swords, who can take them out and exchange them! β
This truth is that the eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen are both sword cultivators, so they naturally understand it, but they really have no better way.
But he heard the sword cultivator continue: "Have you been to the bounty list and seen it?" It just so happened that the real person of Youyun took out his sword and offered a reward, and if you are capable enough, you will reveal his reward. He's a once-in-a-lifetime sword! He paused and said regretfully, "But with the cultivation of the two of you, it's really ......."
The eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen glanced at each other, and quickly rolled up the stall and prepared to go to the bounty list.
"Hey!" The sword cultivator hurriedly said, "Is the spirit beast still for sale?" β
"Sell!" "Not for sale!" The eldest grandson Jun and Yi Xichen spoke almost at the same time. The two looked at each other in surprise.
said that it was the eldest grandson Jun who was sold, as long as he could sell the fat, he didn't care if he didn't want money. It was Yi Xichen who said that he would not sell. If you are in a hurry to sell it now, you will definitely not be able to sell it for a good price, so it is better to see what the reward is first, and then think about it in the long run.
Fat Chirp flapped its wings and followed behind the two of them, and although it looked round and rumbling, it was surprisingly agile in its movements. Hearing that the two of them still had plans to sell it, Fei Qi lowered his head and rushed directly into the Qiankun bag on Yi Xichen's waist.
Yi Xichen was surprised: "This fat chirp...... It doesn't look ordinary! β
The mouth of this Qiankun bag is pierced, and it naturally has mana, but the fat chirp can enter and exit as if it were nothing, which shows that it really has some ability. When it was still in the egg before, he had already done such a thing, but at that time, Yi Xichen didn't realize that it was in and out on its own, and thought that he didn't tie the bag properly.
In this way, Yi Xichen is even more determined not to sell it cheaply, and must definitely be patient to sell it at a good price!
Yi Xichen has always had the final say in this business, although the eldest grandson Jun doesn't like fat, but he doesn't have to compete with him, not to mention that at this moment they are in a hurry to see what the mystery of the bounty list is, so they will put this stubble aside for the time being.
The bounty list was in the center of Xialin Town, and after a short time, Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Jun rushed there, only to see people coming and going, which was much more lively than the market. There are people who keep taking down posts on the bounty list, and people who keep hanging their own posts on the list.
The so-called bounty list is something that almost every Xiuzhen town has. The monks put out their needs on the list, some are asking for some specific immortal materials, some are asking for some cultivation methods, some are seeking Taoist companions, and some are asking for masters to avenge themselves. In short, all kinds of needs can be posted on the bounty list, and the conditions of the reward are given, so that interested monks can unveil the list themselves. To put it bluntly, this is also a kind of transaction, but it may not be a physical transaction.
Yi Xichen and the eldest grandson Jun anxiously squeezed into the crowd, worried that the post that Jian Xiu said had been exposed. However, when they arrived at the huge board, they found that Youyun Zhenren's post was the first one.
The eldest grandson Jun hadn't even seen what was written on it, so he had to reach out and take it off.
"Hey, this fellow Daoist is slow!" A monk grabbed the hand of the eldest grandson, "This post can't be answered!" β
Each bounty list is watched by a special person to maintain order. The person who posts the post should give some reward to the monk who reads the list. It was the monk who guarded the list who stopped them.
The eldest grandson frowned.
Yi Xichen said: "Why not? Could it be that the posts on this list are just for people to see? β
"Not really." The monk said, "It's just that this post by Youyun Zhenren has been hanging for three years, and no one has completed it." At the beginning, there were frequent unveiling of the list, but they couldn't complete the task, and they had to re-hang up. After a long time, there are new rules, this post does not have to be revealed, and when it is done, come to me to uncover the post, and the real person will be rewarded. β
Yi Xichen and eldest grandson Jun glanced at each other.
Exposing the post, naturally, is worried about encountering competitors who do the same task and causing disputes. According to the rules of the general bounty list, if you expose the post but fail to complete the task, you will be punished. If you have more times, you will become a black celebrity on the bounty list, and you can't reveal posts or hang posts from now on. So most of the time, people will only expose posts that they are sure of. It's just that if the reward is particularly tempting, it's inevitable that someone will be willing to take the risk.
Since it is a sword, there must be many people fighting to grab it. However, in exchange for a sword, the task is naturally extremely difficult, so mistakes in unveiling the list occur frequently, and the guide changes the rules.
Yi Xichen and eldest grandson Jun calmed down and read the post.
The reward of Youyun Zhenren is very concise, there is only one sentence: Kill the Cangying Cave Lord, take his demon pill, and the poor Dao is willing to give it away with the Cangyun Sword!
Yi Xichen touched his chin and fell into thought after reading it.
The name of this Youyun Zhenren, he had heard of it, was a well-known sword cultivator in the cultivation realm, and he had no sect, he was a loose cultivator.
Unless the talent is extremely high, the cultivation is often not high, after all, with the great sect as the backing, cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort. And this Youyun real person is a person with extremely high qualifications. He, like Lu Ziyao, is the body of the three yangs. And the reason why he is famous in the cultivation realm, in addition to his cultivation, he also has a not-so-glorious reputation - he is too informal, and often interacts with demon cultivators.
People who cultivate the truth, especially sword cultivation, have always been inseparable from demon cultivation, and although they are not so incompatible with demon cultivation, they are also clearly distinguished, and they do not interact with each other. Because there are many demon cultivators who rely on sucking other people's cultivation to cultivate, although not every demon cultivator is like this, it does not prevent demon cultivation from being regarded as a lowly way by decent people. Even if many sword cultivators are friendly with demon cultivators, they don't dare to tell others, for fear of ruining their reputation. And that Youyun real person has never had such concerns.
But that may have been in the past, and now he took out his sword to offer a reward, and the Cangying Cave Lord he wanted to kill was a demon cultivator whose body was Snow Tiger!
Yi Xichen said: "This Youyun Zhenren has already achieved great cultivation by himself, but he has offered a reward with a sword. It can be seen that the Snow Tiger Essence, the cultivation is still above it, and it doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with. β
The eldest grandson Jun was thoughtful: "Snow Tiger Essence...... I seem to have ridden it. β
Yi Xichen: "......"
