Zhang Zhao waved like earth in the bazaar, and naturally he would be seen by some merchants with high-quality goods. Unfortunately, he couldn't be noticed by Zhang Zhao and others at that time, so he came up with this method of coming to the door in person. When I arrived at Lingxiao's residence, I found that many people had the same thoughts, so I flocked in, lest I be squeezed behind.

Although the scene was a little chaotic, it was exactly what Zhang Zhao wanted: "Master, in this case, you and a few elders choose if there are any things you like, and it just so happens that I also want to buy some things for Master and Uncle Wu." Chang Qingzi understood: "Okay, then a few of us are welcome." ”

Life has its own advantages in the world, and even the most indifferent temperament has some favorite things. Seeing that Chang Qingzi was dressed as a Taoist priest, a nimble old man handed over a whisk: "Immortal Chief, it is perfect for you to hold the tail of this white jade holy ivory." No matter what the scene is, it is otherworldly. ”

Chang Qingzi also liked it very much when he saw it, and he took it in his hand and gestured a few times, with a very comfortable expression on his face. Mo Wen took a blue and white lotus petal bundle of hair and jade crown and couldn't put it down, and several elders also chose waist ornaments or wrenches made of various rare jade. Hearing the noise in the courtyard, Gu Qianzhong came out to take a few looks, snorted coldly, and was about to go back to the room, but caught a glimpse of a small carved teapot made of purple jade with a round belly and a short mouth.

Gu Qianzhong stepped forward and picked up the teapot in a few steps, and his tentacles felt warm and comfortable. The merchant who sold the teapot just now raised it for a long time and no one paid attention to it, and when he saw that he had some thoughts, he hurriedly accompanied the smiling face: "This uncle, you are really knowledgeable, and this purple jade pot has a wonderful point." He motioned for Gu Qianzhong to turn over and take a look.

The bottom of the delicate teapot is engraved with a few small circular patterns. The merchant explained, "This is the Flame Talisman of the Xuanhuo Domain's secret heritage. As long as you hold the bottom of the pot in your hand, the tea inside will be as warm as new, so that the tea will not become cold and lose its taste. ”

These pieces are all rare things that are usually precious and difficult to find, but at this time, they are full of eyes like selling vegetables in the courtyard of Lingxiao's residence. Several elders who usually always negotiate business with big merchants were also almost dazzled, tossing and talking about the price one by one for a long time, and the merchant who took the fairy crystal gradually left, only an old man wearing a short floral robe full of patches and a loose braid on his head failed to do so.

The things in his hands are not recognized by several elders, the egg that looks like a fist is like something, the color is dark red, and it is soft and a little elastic, this old man's accent is a little strange, he claims to be a merchant in southern Xinjiang outside the neighboring Wuxuan, this red strange egg is born of a strange flower and grass that can eat humans and animals in southern Xinjiang, which is extremely rare in the local area, but no one cares about him when he collects a lot of money.

Although several elders, including Chang Qingzi, felt that this red monster was a little strange, but this kind of thing was neither an elixir, nor did they know what it was for, so naturally they couldn't pay too much for such a strange thing.

The old man in southern Xinjiang is still very stubborn, and he must have two top-grade immortal crystals before he is willing to sell. Several elders had no choice but to wave their hands to send off the guests, and the old man in southern Xinjiang looked at Zhang Zhao in disappointment and shouted in a strange voice: "It was the old black man who said that you know the goods, so I was willing to come." ”

After Zhang Zhao's inquiry, he learned that the old man in southern Xinjiang knew the black and thin old man who sold the red ring herbs, and both of them had been squatting in the Xuanmu Market for almost two years, and the things in their hands had not been sold. After the black and thin old man's herb was bought by Zhang Zhao, he hurriedly went to tell the old man in southern Xinjiang who had suffered the same thing, and he followed everyone to find it here.

Just now, there were a few elders in front of the selection, and Zhang Zhao just paid the bill on the side. After listening to the old man's complaints, he took the red monster egg, and after scanning it with his soul sense, he felt that there was nothing abnormal in it except for some sticky juice, and he was about to hand the monster back with an apologetic expression, but a strange feeling suddenly rose in his body.

Zhang Zhao suddenly felt the urge to eat this strange egg, and the feeling was getting stronger and stronger. He himself felt that it was incredible, and he realized that this feeling really came from his body, and he was still moving with the blood veins of his body.

This flowing feeling was somewhat familiar to Zhang Zhao, very similar to when he was chased and killed by several Jin Ruyi that day, the old man of the poisonous blade let himself put a few pieces of Gu talisman into his body. But how could such a feeling of hunger come from the Gu talisman?

Under this strong ** drive, Zhang Zhao was reluctant to let go of the red monster egg in his hand. While restraining his urge to put the monster egg in his mouth immediately, he took out two top-grade immortal crystals from his arms: "I want this thing." ”

Without waiting for everyone to dissuade him, the old man stepped forward to take it with surprise on his face. As soon as Xianjing left his hand, Zhang Zhao felt a surge of heat surging into his palm, and then he heard a "squeak" sucking sound in his ears, and the red monster egg he held in his palm quickly dried up.

In a few breaths, there was only a transparent film as thin as a cicada's wings left in Zhang Zhao's hand, and everyone was stunned as they watched the red strange eggs he had just bought with the two top-grade immortal crystals disappear completely.

"This ......" Before the old man in southern Xinjiang could put the fairy crystal into his arms, he saw that the things he had sold had disappeared out of thin air. He looked at Zhang Zhao hesitantly: "Little brother, this thing is not in your hands, you can't blame me." ”

"Hey, you old man, this is not a blatant lie to my junior brother. Next to him, Gu Yan came up and grabbed his hand holding Xianjing: "So many people are watching, Xianjing just arrived in your hand, the broken thing is gone, do you still want to admit it?"

Zhang Zhao stood still, a warm and refreshing feeling entered from his hand and quickly flowed through his body, as if he had been soaking in a wooden bucket full of warm water for a long time, he exuded a heartfelt satisfaction from the inside out, and even his face began to flush with excitement.

The cultivation of the old man in Southern Xinjiang is almost the same as Gu Yan's, they are almost at the level of the Upper Three Realms, and he struggles hard to defend: "Little brother, no matter what happens to this thing, it will not disappear after the sale is completed, you can't help but talk about faith." ”

"Senior Brother Gu, if you let go of this old man, you really don't blame him for this thing. Zhang Zhao didn't know what was in this strange egg, but he knew that he had been inhaled into his body. He stepped forward and pulled Gu Yan's hand, and the old man in Southern Xinjiang had a chance to run out of the gate quickly.

"Zhang Zhao, you let go of me, and if you don't chase that old liar, you'll run away. As soon as Gu Yan wanted to break away from Zhang Zhao and go out to chase him, he saw Zhang Zhao's face different: "Hey, Zhang Zhao, what's wrong with your face? Is it poisonous on his broken egg?"

Only then did everyone see that Zhang Zhao's face was already red, as if he was drunk. Gu Yan was close to him, and he smelled a faint smell of blood emanating from Zhang Zhao's body: "Zhang Zhao, how are you, there's nothing wrong, right?"

Contrary to everyone's worries, Zhang Zhao was full of vitality at the moment, he couldn't wait to wave his arms and kick his legs and jump a few laps in the courtyard, but when he saw everyone's eyes, he had to force it down: "Senior Brother Gu, I'm fine, just go back to the room and stay for a while." ”

Looking at Zhang Zhao's back, everyone thought that he must have been deceived and didn't want to be held accountable, and they were in a bad mood, and they shook their heads when they heard a few low roars from him after the door was closed. didn't know that Zhang Zhao in the room swung his fist and danced a few times, and then threw himself on the bed and rolled.

This situation is somewhat similar to the feeling that Zhang Zhao's whole body strength is about to erupt after he came out of the Blood God Pool in Baoxiang Temple not long ago, but it is much milder now. The Gu talisman that had been silent all along, was extremely active in his body, and it continued to transmit the comfortable feeling after eating and drinking to Zhang Zhao.

Every time the Gu talisman turned around in his body, Zhang Zhao's churning blood qi calmed down a bit. Only then did he suddenly realize that this Gu talisman that had disappeared since he had been seriously injured actually seemed to have a life.

Gu refining in Southern Xinjiang has been circulating for a long time, and Gu talismans with insect souls are extremely common. This kind of Gu talisman of Ruyi Pavilion is of great help to the qi and blood operation of the person who raises the Gu. Once the Lord Spiritual Gu is cultivated, it can also dissolve all kinds of abnormalities in the body of the person who raises the Gu. A person with a spirit Gu can be said to be difficult to invade, and all diseases are not born, and cultivation is even more effective with half the effort.

However, for a Gu talisman to truly become a spirit Gu, not only does it need hundreds of years of blood and qi nourishment, but it also requires that the person who raises the Gu has extremely strong spiritual power in his body. Zhang Zhao's Gu talisman already contained the efforts of the five Jin Ruyi for decades, and the meridians in his body were different from ordinary people's aura. After absorbing the medicinal blood containing immense power in the Blood God Pool, this Gu talisman had already begun to have a spirituality.

The red monster egg he just bought was actually the fruit of the Southern Xinjiang Blood Devouring Demon Flower, even if a giant elephant was entangled in the Blood Devouring Demon Flower in the dense forest, it would be more auspicious, and the demon flower would bear fruit after a hundred years, and it would take a few hundred years to mature, and it would dry up and fall if the blood and qi nourishment was cut off in the middle. I don't know how much essence blood is contained in this small fruit, which is why the newly grown spirit Gu in his body is eager for it.

By the time the red tide on his face faded, Zhang Zhao could already clearly feel the direction of that spirit Gu, he didn't know that he had gained another great benefit, but he was just reborn and refreshed, and he felt that the two best immortal crystals were not white flowers.

After today, it was the Panlong Society, and when the sky was just dawning, the Lingxiao disciples were awakened by a knock on the door. As soon as a crack was opened, Long Xiyang rushed into the courtyard and went straight to Zhang Zhao's room.

He didn't even knock on the door, he pushed it open and shouted: "Brother Zhang Zhao, it's really amazing that you gave me those herbs." Zhang Zhao heard his footsteps and just put on his coat, and when he saw his rushing appearance, he thought something was wrong: "I gave you the ninth brother to eat without letting the gentleman in the house see it?"

Long Xiyang stepped forward and took his hand and shook it again and again: "No, those herbs and ginger divine doctors are really precious and rare, and Brother Jiu also feels very useful after taking a dose." He couldn't come because he was recuperating, so he told me to thank you for him first. ”

Long Xiyang pressed Zhang Zhao to sit on the bed and respectfully bowed: "Brother Zhang Zhao, it is more important for you to help Brother Jiu than to help myself." Dragon Fourteen must remember your kindness. Zhang Zhao hurriedly got up and grabbed him: "What is this for, isn't it just sending some herbs casually." Your shouting early this morning startled me. ”

Waiting for everyone to have breakfast, Long Xiyang dragged Lu Junjie and Zhang Zhao, who had just entered the door, and left: "Seventh brother, they won't come today, I asked them about a fun place." He turned around and beckoned Gu Yan and the others: "There are fighting scenes in addition to the game play, let's go and see it together." ”

In fact, Long Xiyang didn't know what this fight was like, the carriage arrived at a square near Dongcheng, and before everyone could enter, he heard a lot of noisy people. When I got closer, there was a hanging wooden platform full of chairs in the middle of the wide square, and thousands of people surrounded the wooden platform in a dozen circles, constantly shouting: "Up, up, bite." ”

There were also people from the Long family guarding the arena, and when they saw Long Xiyang coming, several guards came over to salute: "Fourteenth Master, why did you come here?" Long Xiyang looked ahead: "Seventh Brother said that this place is beautiful, so I will bring my friends over to take a look." ”

One of the guards led them directly to the wooden platform, and everyone condescended to see that there were two similar animals of the same kind, either chickens or dogs, in each fence under their feet, fighting and biting wildly, and the blood was very fierce.

Everyone hadn't seen this thing, and the guard next to him pointed to a few railings on the east side and said: "These are the cockfighting dogs in our arena, outsiders can invite the battle at will, and if they win, they will make money." These are for them to fight at will, as long as both sides are good. Except for the victory or defeat of a few hoops in the arena, we pay, and no matter how they bet on the deathfight, it is up to them to decide. ”

Long Xiyang was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't this thing just to look at it, and you can also bet on the immortal crystal?" The guard nodded: "If the fourteenth master just wants to take a look, of course you can, but if this thing doesn't have your own immortal crystal in it, it will not be so happy." ”

"So that's the case, Brother Zhang Zhao, your luck has always been good, which one do you say we bet?" Seeing Long Xiyang's expectant eyes, Zhang Zhao shook his head helplessly: "Brother Fourteen, it's the first time I've seen this thing, how can I see it accurately." ”

Since they came, everyone also took a few fairy crystals and staked them at will, as the guard said, seeing that they had bet on the fairy crystals fighting cocks and dogs fighting in the field, it was really exciting. After a few battles, the Lingxiao disciples shouted one by one.

Zhang Zhao also randomly chose a fighting to bet, he stared at the two fighting cocks with their wings raised in the air pecking each other, but inadvertently saw two people pulling outside the crowd around the cockfighting ring, one of which he happened to know. Seeing that everyone was standing on the side of the stage and shouting at the fighting chickens and dogs at their feet, Zhang Zhao quietly went down by himself.

"Big brother, how can this work, you go back with me. "Neither of these two people who are tearing are young. Zhang Zhao shouted at one of the old men who was slightly chubby, with a round nose and small eyes, and a helpless face: "Uncle, why are you here, what are you two doing?"

"Why are you in this offspring?" Before the round-nosed old man who made delicious noodle soup for Zhang Zhao that day said more, the old man he was pulling shouted loudly: "Wu Youde, you let go of me, and if you don't let go, the fighting I fancy will start to compete." ”

Facing Zhang Zhao's somewhat surprised gaze, the round-nosed old man sighed and tightened his grip: "My eldest brother is addicted to this way every day, which is really unfortunate for the family." The old man who was held by him broke his fingers hard: "You are unlucky, I don't know how happy I am to play every day, you will leave after you give the money, and teach me less here." ”

"You are already a handful of years old, and you hang out in this market every day, when are you a leader?" Seeing that he couldn't tear his brother's hand away, the old man had to give up: "Okay, I'll see how long you can pull me, you have to leave sooner or later, I'll come back when you're gone." ”

The round-nosed old man Wu Youde completely lost his temper: "Big brother, even if you don't want to make a living, the money I gave you is enough to spend, but you can't fool around here every day." The old man, whom he called the eldest brother, heard this and said angrily: "Who fooled around, this thing didn't come by luck." Who doesn't say that I, Wu Youcai, have a good eye in this arena?"

At this time, everyone on the wooden platform found that Zhang Zhao was not beside him, and Long Xiyang took a few steps around and shouted at him: "Brother Zhang Zhao, come up quickly, the game you bet on is almost over." Zhang Zhao turned around and arched his hand at Wu Youde: "Uncle, then I will lose my company first." I'll eat your noodles when I have time. ”

Before Wu Youde could speak, the old man he was pulling shouted, "Hey, how can you go on stage to see?" He smiled at Zhang Zhao again and again: "I said this little brother, can you let me follow and have a look?"

Zhang Zhao didn't know the reason: "What's wrong with going on stage, why do you still want to follow me?" The old man shook his head again and again: "No, no, that place is not something I can go to casually." There are some boys and young ladies sitting on it, and you can see clearly that no one is crowded. ”

"Come with me, those two. Zhang Zhao took the two old men to the front of the steps, and the guard saw Long Xiyang's enthusiasm for Zhang Zhao, so naturally he couldn't stop it, and the three of them went to the wooden platform smoothly.

When the arena guards beside Long Xiyang saw the old man behind Zhang Zhao and smiled: "Wu Youcai, how do you still recognize this son?" The old man ignored him and looked around: "It's better to be here, you can see every field clearly." ”

At this time, the fighting that Zhang Zhao bet on had already been defeated, and he was about to bet on another one, when Wu Youcai shouted next to him: "No, the one you want to bet on is more than heavy, and it will definitely not be able to fight the one opposite it." Everyone was a little strange when they heard this: "Why can't this look majestic?"

Wu Youcai shook his head and said: "That's natural, if the fighting is too heavy, it will be physically exhausted if it can't fight for a while, and it has a lot of hair, and it will bleed and hurt when it is pecked by the other party, this thing is not better than appearance, although the chicken on the opposite side looks bald and thinner, but the odds of winning are much higher." ”

Listening to his instructions, everyone bet on the bald chicken, and soon after the opening fight, as he said, the heavy and hairy fighting gradually lost its support, and it was defeated with blood, leaving the bald chicken to swagger proudly in the field.

Zhang Zhao felt interesting and pointed to the side and asked, "Uncle, what do you think of this one?" Wu Youcai looked at it a few times: "The two fighting cocks look similar, but the one on the east side has a black coat and a green color, and the one on the west side is ordinary red. ”

Everyone bet according to their words, and after the opening, the blue and black fighting cocks attacked fiercely, and the red fighting cocks did not dare to step forward after a few rounds. "Uncle, you are really a god. After listening to everyone's praise, Wu Youcai proudly instructed everyone to bet a few more times, although it was not like Zhang Zhao when he was in Bofang, he could also see seven or eight out of ten.

Wu Youcai walked around the stage a few times and felt good, and found an opportunity to come next to Zhang Zhao: "This son, I see that you and my brother know each other, why don't you ask for me, there is still a need for people in this arena, even if the money is small, it doesn't matter, I just want to come to this stage from time to time." ”

"Big brother, you're not embarrassed, I'm just a one-sided relationship with this descendant......" Without waiting for Wu Youde to dissuade him, Zhang Zhao walked up to Long Xiyang and said a few words. After listening to Long Xiyang's question, the guard next to him nodded in agreement: "Fourteenth Master, don't worry, we are missing a person with sharp eyes like him here." ”

Seeing that his eldest brother's wish was fulfilled, Wu Youde had no choice but to let it go, and nodded at Zhang Zhao: "I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay it when I have the opportunity in the future." Zhang Zhao didn't take this seriously at all: "Uncle Wu is polite, when will I eat the noodles you made." ”

When I came back from the arena, as soon as I entered Lingxiao's residence, I saw that people were coming and going, which was quite lively. The shopkeeper of the Shen Needle Pavilion brought someone to send new clothes, and along the way, he also brought a few big merchants in Xuanmu City who had been begging him to come to visit.

Everyone took it back to their rooms and changed it, and when they came out again, they all looked brand new. With the new clothes and all kinds of precious objects sent by Zhang Zhao yesterday, Lingxiao's courtyard was suddenly full of light and jade energy, and a group of disciples were all handsome and refined.

Looking at the smiling juniors, Chang Qingzi and several elders were really relieved from the bottom of their hearts. For hundreds of years, Lingxiao has been depressed, and compared with the prosperous scene in front of him, it is really like a world away.

Shopkeeper Shen was also very satisfied when he saw that everyone had changed into new clothes, but he didn't dare to thank Zhang Zhao: "Prince Zhang Zhao, although the clothes made by our Shenzhen Pavilion are decent, these treasures on your body can show your spirit more." ”

He took the immortal crystal handed by Zhang Zhao and said with a smile: "In the past few days, the prince has become famous in Xuanmu City, I don't know how many merchants are looking forward to getting acquainted with your faction, and even our Divine Needle Pavilion has also been stained, and now they are rushing to send people and things to the door." ”

Seeing off the guests, Chang Qingzi ordered the disciples who were extremely excited to rest early. Several elders then hugged him into his room with happy faces: "Master, just this moment, our Lingxiao has more than a dozen big businesses, and this trip to the Panlong Club is really a big gain." ”

After the elders left, Chang Qingzi thought about what had happened in the past few days, and everything was inseparable from Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao's performance recently made Chang Qingzi's eyes shine, and he found that a great change seemed to be taking place in this disciple who had never liked to talk much.

Zhang Zhao, who was sitting in the room and had not yet fallen asleep, also had bright eyes at the moment. From the moment he made up his mind to find justice for the people who died in vain in Baoxiang Temple, he began to think about how to change his own situation. From the moment Guiyun Lou opened his mouth to ask for wine, a series of things have developed to the present, and it can be said that there have been unexpected results.

Although Lingxiao's influence in the Xuanmu Domain is not the same as before, there is still a gap between it and the famous and powerful sects. The most important thing at the moment is naturally the competition of the Panlong Club. Zhang Zhao closed his eyes and silently recited the requiem scriptures, the golden light flashed in his mind, and he counted all the moves he had learned before.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already heard the faint rooster crow, Zhang Zhao got up and put on his clothes, hung the Immortal on his waist, and put on the robe sent by the Divine Needle Pavilion yesterday. As soon as he gently pushed open the door, the door of the room next to him was also forcefully opened, and Gu Yan, who was dressed in a brand new red robe, jumped into the courtyard and shouted: "Everyone, get up quickly, Panlong Society, we are here." ”

Zhang Zhao and the Lingxiao disciples who had already dressed up in their new clothes and were waiting in the room rushed out laughing, and dozens of people jumped up in the courtyard and shouted wildly: "We are here!"
