Chapter 79: Conspiracy
Gu Yan handed over the jade talisman to the disciple guarding the door at the door, and then Shi Shiran went out. When he returned to the place of alchemy, he first took out a large pile of herbs and the like, and handed them over to Ming Wuyu in one go, asking him to find a place to store them by himself. Then he took out the Ice Spirit Grass again, and said that he had already paid the deposit for the Phantom Sky Flower. Then he said: "Although I didn't elaborate on the price of the Illusory Sky Flower, it must not be lower than the Ice Spirit Grass, and today's fifty spirit stones have been spent and there is nothing left......
As she was talking, she saw Ming Wuyu's face turn red, and said in a very low voice: "It's just that I don't have any savings on hand......"
Gu Yan couldn't help laughing, "I didn't want to borrow spirit stones from you, I just wanted to ask, in this city, is there any way to earn spirit stones?" ”
Ming Wu was delusional for a moment, and said: "Those who have a skill, or open a shop, naturally will not worry, if it is a loose cultivation from other places, then you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to receive the corresponding task, and after completion, you can exchange it for spirit stones." ”
He probably told Gu Yan that because there were too many monks coming and going here, the City Lord's Mansion had opened a place as a gathering place for foreign monks in addition to opening a fang market, called "Tianyin Pavilion".
Later, some people began to post some tasks such as bounties and treasure hunting here, and slowly it developed into a bazaar-like place, usually some monks came to issue tasks, and some monks came to pick them, most of them were scattered cultivators from other places, because they had been here for a long time, and the spirit stones were not enough to spend.
Ming Wuxuan said: "In fact, in some major sects, some sect tasks will be released on a regular basis, on the one hand, to let the disciples earn spirit stones, and on the other hand, it also has the meaning of motivating them to progress and strengthen their experience. As for here, what tasks you can complete and how many spirit stones you can earn depends on your ability.
Gu Yan felt that it was very novel, she had visited many holy places for cultivating immortals, and it was the first time she had seen such a thing. She handed over the Ice Spirit Grass to Ming Wufu for safekeeping, and the next day, she got up early, asked the place, and went alone.
She easily found the place, this building called "Tianyin Pavilion" is divided into three floors, and the bottom is a hall on the first floor, which is crowded with people, Gu Yan was startled as soon as she entered, the density here is at least four or five times that of those markets, :!
She stood at the door, looked around, and sure enough, someone was not far away. He called "Immortal Master" in a very respectful tone and asked, "Is there any mission that Immortal Master has come here to take?" ”
Gu Yan nodded slightly, "It's the first time I've come, I don't know the rules here, please let me know." ”
The man took out a jade slip from his bosom and said, "The first floor is usually a place for low-level monks to receive tasks, and some people will also do some transactions here, and with the cultivation of immortal masters, they can go straight to the second floor." This jade slip is used by the immortal master as a marker, and there is also some information in it, so the immortal master can take a look at it first. After saying that, he respectfully retreated.
Gu Yan put this jade slip in the palm of his hand, and with a light flash, he read the information inside. There were probably some brief descriptions of the missions that were still available for now, and she skimmed through them before striding towards the second floor.
When it reaches the second floor, it seems to be much quieter, just a place with a radius of dozens of zhang, there are eight platforms, arranged in the shape of nine palaces, and there is a Dharma altar in the center. In front of each platform, there was an old man with a serious face, some of whom had already refined their qi perfectly, and some of whom were cultivators in the early stage of foundation building. In front of them, there were people coming and going. In the whole room, there are more than a dozen people.
Gu Yan walked to a table where no one was queuing, handed over his jade slip, and then reported his identity.
The old man glanced at him and said, "The surname is Yan, an overseas monk, and a tenth-level cultivation of Qi refining." Then he took her jade slip, turned around and walked to the edge of the altar in the center, and illuminated it with the spiritual light on it. When he came back, he had a smile on his face and said, "I don't know what task Yan Daoyou wants to take?" ”
Gu Yan had already had an idea, so he said unhurriedly: "May I ask if you can still take the matter of finding the green spirit essence?" ”
The old man looked at her with some surprise and said, "Do you want to take on this task?" ”
Gu Yan nodded. The old man said: "To absorb the green spirit essence, you need to go out of the city for three hundred miles to the west, do you know that the Lin family Beppu on Yuquan Mountain?" ”
Gu Yan said: "I heard that it used to be Beppu, where the head of the Lin family lived, but it has been abandoned for nearly a thousand years. ”
The old man said "um" and said, "Since Daoist friends are going to take on this task, let's draw a charge!" He handed over the jade slip in his hand.
Gu Yan put the jade slip on the center of his eyebrows, then released a wisp of his divine sense, left a mark on it, and then asked, "I don't know where to find the task master after getting the green spirit marrow, in exchange for the spirit stone?" ”
The old man said: "After the Taoist friends get the green spirit marrow, come here quickly." After twelve hours, it will condense into ice, and then it will be of no avail. The main hall has a special jade bottle to preserve. At that time, the spirit stones will also be delivered. ”
Gu Yan nodded to him slightly, and then turned around and said goodbye. She walked out of Tianyin Pavilion and went back to her residence in Nancheng, but she didn't see the old man get up and leave the Dharma platform, and turned to a small cubicle on the third floor, where a tall monk sat inside, it was Du Liangheng.
The old man sat across from him and whispered to him. Du Liangheng groaned: "Lin Family Courtyard, this woman is not small. Didn't she know that it was the Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave? She cultivated the Fire Spirit Root, didn't she get frozen when she went there? ”
The old man said, "I don't think she's a reckless person. Maybe you have your own secret method. He stood up and said in a low voice, "Lord Lin Xuan, I can't stay longer, the word has already arrived, and you can handle the rest of the matter yourself." ”
Du Liangheng also stood up, "Thank you Brother Lin for your care." He gestured, and a disciple standing next to him gave him a jade box, "This is a pair of spiritual weapons that were refined a few days ago, called the Nine Heavens Hammer, and the thunder spirit root of the nephew is the best." ”
A smile appeared on the old man's face, "There is Lord Ronglin Xuan." He took the jade box in his bosom and hurried out.
Du Liangheng sat down and gently tapped the table with his knuckles, with a pensive look on his face. The disciples on the side didn't dare to disturb either. After a while, he said, "Tell your third senior brother, send him a message, and rush back to the city as soon as possible, I have something to arrange." After saying that, he stood up and walked out without looking back.
