Chapter 34 It is better to change money than to change magic weapons
Recently, there have been many people passing by in the town, and they are all monks with a certain degree of cultivation, as the only inn in the town, business has never been more prosperous.
Su Chen and the three of them also happened to meet someone checking out, so they grabbed a guest room.
And then...... Su Chen and Long Qingyan stayed outside the door, and Xiyue went in to change their clothes. The two men stood by the door, ignoring the strange eyes of passers-by, and chatting to themselves.
Su Chen borrowed the Ice Phoenix Flying Feather to make it easy, so he didn't worry about being recognized.
"You two come in. Xiyue's voice came from the room.
The two pushed the door in and closed it casually, Su Chen also deliberately looked to see if anyone was paying attention to them, after all, the three of them had to discuss some important things, and it would be bad for someone to listen to the corner.
"Looking at the current situation, Qingzhou is very lively, we have to think about how to fish in troubled waters. Xiyue said.
"You can't call it fishing in troubled waters, right?
"Don't forget that this battle will involve Yuan Infant Stage cultivators, we have just entered the God Refining Stage, and the chances are actually very slim. Su Chen said.
"That's right, so this time we can't be defeated, we can only outwit. Xiyue said while thinking, "A lot of times, I'm afraid we can only watch from the wall. ”
"It's not bad to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Long Qing said, "As long as you have the opportunity to get close to the treasure, let others fight to the death." ”
"By the way, Ah Long, have you contacted the Eastern Wilderness?" asked Xiyue.
"Don't worry, I've got in touch with my buddies, and when Lao Su grabs the treasure, he will definitely protect us and evacuate. Long Qing said.
"Well, to what extent can it help?" asked Xiyue.
"Life and death. Long Qingyan was sure of the truth, and his expression was very solemn.
"They have such a deep relationship with you?" Su Chen was a little puzzled, this kind of promise was indeed very heavy.
"Of course, we are iron buddies from childhood to adulthood, the kind that can entrust life and death. Long Qingyan said proudly.
"It's a bit serious to talk about life and death, I think as soon as they come forward, the old people in the Eastern Wilderness will definitely not be able to sit still, and they will follow to protect these seedlings. Xiyue said, "And at that time, the Northern Underworld will also come forward to protect the three of us, Elder Wangshu has agreed that I will take you back to the Northern Underworld, but Su Chen needs to lend the treasure, and the elders and patriarchs hope to have some understanding." ”
"No problem. Su Chen nodded, without a trace of hesitation. Xiyue seemed to be relieved, she regarded Su Chen as her best friend, so she explained everything clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings later.
Su Chen said again: "After capturing the strange treasure, I will definitely not be able to keep it, and it is a good destination to be able to hand it over to Beiming." ”
The Northern Underworld clan has always been detached and rarely involved in earthly disputes, but this time the Imperial Treasure was born, even if it was the Northern Underworld Ice Phoenix, it also moved its desires, so after Xiyue contacted the clan, such a condition was proposed. Since the establishment of the Northern Underworld, it has been tens of millions of years, although it is a royal family, but except for the ancestors, no one has reached the realm of "Imperial Road", so this time I want to use the Imperial Road Treasure to find an opportunity to enter the "Humane Extreme Realm".
Therefore, between Beiming and Su Chen, it can be regarded as mutual benefit, but Su Chen is willing to hand over the treasure, and he also has the intention of repaying the kindness, not to mention Xiyue's affection, just the kindness of Elder Qingyue to protect him and save his life in Eucalyptus City, he has never forgotten.
"However, isn't your ancestor also an emperor, why do you need other imperial treasures?" Long Qingyan was a little dissatisfied.
"Alas......" Xiyue sighed and said quietly, "I also asked the Great Elder at the beginning, but she didn't explain anything to me, she just said, 'This is the sorrow of the royal family'. ”
Long Qingyan's body was shocked, and he seemed to feel the same way, so he didn't ask any more.
"Then how do we go to Qingzhou next?" asked Su Chen. There are many ways to go to Qingzhou, you can walk over, you can fly over, of course, you can also take the waterway, that is, go east along the Jiuqu River, and you can also use the teleportation array of the eastern border city of Jizhou, which is the fastest way.
This time to go to Qingzhou Stargazing City, let alone hundreds of thousands of miles away, there can be a teleportation array naturally in the morning and evening, otherwise it is possible to walk for three or five years.
"This time we have to use the teleportation array, then we have to go to the eastern border. Xiyue said, "Su Chen, you know more about Kyushu, how should we go?"
"If we want to use the teleportation array, we can go to Huansu City in the east, which is the largest city on the eastern border of Jizhou and one of the hub cities of the Northern Xia Dynasty, where there is a teleportation array established by the Xia Dynasty, connecting the borders of the four directions, and you can go directly to the stargazing city. Su Chen said.
"How far is it from here?" asked Long Qingyan.
"There's still a thousand miles or so to go. Su Chen said. When they checked into the inn, they had already asked for directions to the town so that they could determine the next route.
"Okay, then let's go to Huansu City. Xiyue said, "When you get to the big city, you don't have to squeeze a room with the two of you." ”
"Did you hear that, she dislikes you!" Long Qingyan glanced at Su Chen and said gloatingly.
"Obviously I dislike you!" Su Chen glared at Long Qingyan back.
"Get out! this palace dislikes the two of you!" Xiyue said angrily, driving Su Chen and Long Qingyan out of the guest room together, and said, "Hmph, find a place to sleep by yourself!"
"What should we do? Why don't we go to the roof and lie down?" Long Qingyan said helplessly.
"In broad daylight, what to lie down, let's go downstairs and sit down, let Xiyue have a good rest, and listen to some news by the way. Su Chen gave him a blank look and took the lead to go downstairs.
"This guy will definitely be a wife slave in the future!" Long Qingyan looked at Su Chen's back and speculated with bad intentions, with a wicked smile on his face.
Went downstairs and came to the inn hall, Su Chen and Long Qingyan found a corner to sit down, in recent days, the wind and rain caused by the birth of Qingzhou Strange Treasure have become more and more serious, originally it was just a battle between peerless masters, but I didn't expect it to become a dispute among the little monks in the end, so that many people saw hope and wanted to get a piece of the pie. But the reality is often very cruel, after all, it is a treasure that makes peerless masters blush, who can keep it? I am afraid that the first time I get my hands on it, I will die tragically.
The two sat downstairs for a while, and the people who came and went talked about it the most.
The battle for foreign treasures will not end so quickly, because the news has spread all over Kyushu, and the major forces are fighting openly and secretly, and there is a stalemate, so they simply make it into a "grand event" of the cultivation world, so that everyone in the world can mix in, so that no one can take advantage. So to this day, there are still many people rushing to Qingzhou, and those who have a number in their hearts should go to see the world, and there are also people who are arrogant and want to compete for the long and short, of course, there are also people like Su Chen and the others, who want to compete for the imperial treasure.
Hearing these discussions, Su Chen and Long Qingyan couldn't help but shake their heads, in fact, it's okay just to see the world or compete with their peers, if they get involved in strange treasures, I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no bones left. Anyone who dares to participate in the competition for exotic treasures has a background and relies on, otherwise they are looking for death.
Sitting until noon, they finally heard something useful.
Qingzhou also belongs to the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom is naturally also involved in it, since the various forces have discussed the way to fight for the least loss, the Xia Kingdom, led by the National Sect Xuanqi Sect, has also sent a part of the elite to Qingzhou Stargazing City, including the children of the royal family, who will use the teleportation array of Huansu City. Moreover, the royal children of the Xia Dynasty are also said to be recruiting loose cultivators, if they join them, they can go to Stargazing City together, of course, they need to obey their dispatch in the future, to put it bluntly, they will become their subordinates.
"Can we pretend to be honest and borrow it?" Long Qingyan whispered.
"Huansu City is a hub city in the east of Jizhou, and Xia Guo has a very strict control over it, especially as a teleportation array for transit in various places, it is heavily guarded, and I heard that there is also a special spell to break the camouflage in the formation, if you want to fish in troubled waters, it is very difficult. Su Chen said.
"Can the disguise of the Ice Phoenix Flying Feather be broken?" asked Long Qingyan.
"I don't know. Su Chen shook his head and said.
What Long Qingyan meant, Su Chen could probably understand, they disguised themselves as another face, pretended to take refuge in the royal family of the Xia Kingdom, and then quietly left when they got to the place, removing the disguise and not admitting it. The idea is a good idea, but as Su Chen said, it is very difficult, because of the spell to break the disguise, which was originally used to prevent people with bad intentions.
Especially during this period of turmoil, not only the monks in the Xia Kingdom, but also the monks from the three major countries in the south were also rushing to Qingzhou, and the Xia Kingdom was even more vigilant at this time, so as not to take advantage of the detailed work of other countries to sneak in and do something unfavorable to their own country.
"In fact, with your and Xiyue's identities, it is enough for the royal family of Xia Kingdom to take the initiative to come and make friends, and it will be easy to borrow the road at that time, not to mention that you can also form an alliance with Xia Kingdom, which can be a little more secure. Su Chen analyzed, "Once we get the strange treasures, maybe we still need to rely on their power." ”
Long Qingyan nodded and said, "If we reveal our identity, it will be easy to borrow the way, but you also know that everyone in the world knows your relationship with the Northern Immortal Maiden, once Xiyue's identity is revealed, it will inevitably remind people of your identity, which is too dangerous for you." ”
The news they heard in the past half a day was not only related to the Imperial Dao Treasure, but also related to the Daowu Palace.
In the two years since Su Chen disappeared, Daowu Palace has not relaxed his wanted for him at all, because no one can be found for a long time, and Su Chen's life and death cannot be determined, Li Chungang even increased the reward, vowing to take Su Chen's life. Moreover, the wanted warrants have spread throughout the Xia Kingdom, and it is said that the Central Plains Hua Dynasty, which is covered by the power of the Wu Palace, is also wanted by Su Chen throughout the territory. Fortunately, the influence of Daowu Palace is insufficient, and it is relatively safe for Su Chen.
"Forget it, let's discuss this on the way, let's get to Huansu City first. Long Qingyan scratched his head, it seemed to be very nerve-wracking. Without the help of the teleportation array, either way chosen is extremely time-consuming, and the battle for the treasure will not be fruitful in a short time, but arriving earlier may give you an advantage.
The two didn't get any more news, so they went back to the upstairs room, and Su Chen also specially instructed the store to prepare some food and serve it upstairs, so as not to wake up and find something to eat.
Long Qingyan naturally couldn't avoid teasing, and Su Chen simply ignored him.
It wasn't until dusk that Xiyue woke up, took the pill and slept for another day, her complexion was obviously much better, her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and her body looked almost recovered.
"Ah, Su Chen still understands me. Xiyue looked at the table of hot food, smiled, and couldn't help but praise Su Chen.
"Eat, it's a specialty of this shop. Su Chen said with a smile.
The food was naturally reheated, Xiyue didn't pick it at this time, it was very fragrant, Long Qingyan wondered: "Do you like to eat so much? As a monk, don't you need to eat?"
Xi Yue glanced at him and said, "This is called enjoying life, enjoying!"
"Let her be pleased. Su Chen said, "Anyway, our entanglement must have been eaten up by her." ”
When Xiyue heard this, she immediately stopped her chopsticks and asked, "Is there no money?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "It's a hotel again, and it's such a big table of dishes, how much do you think we can have left?" ”
"Ahh
"It's okay, we have a lot of good things on us, we can exchange some money. Long Qingyan said.
This is true, after all, Xiyue almost copied the Bamboo Sword Valley, those elixir fairy grasses or something, you can exchange some for a lot of gold at will, don't worry about running out of money and useless.
"Those things are my life's keep, and I can't sell them. Xiyue frowned, thought for a while, and said, "But you left some leftovers from refining the knife, so you can sell them." ”
"What, is there anything left of the dragon pattern meteorite?" Long Qingyan was dumbfounded.
"Of course, there is no dragon-patterned meteorite left, but there are still ordinary meteoric iron. Xiyue laughed.
When the three of them opened the Sun Mine together, in addition to the most important dragon pattern meteorite, there were also some ordinary iron ores hidden among the broken meteorites, which were collected by Xiyue. When they came to the town before, they saw a blacksmith shop on the side of the road, and they could sell the iron ore to the blacksmith shop for some money. How can the iron ore that is together with the dragon-patterned meteorite be mortal iron, even if it has not been turned into dragon-patterned meteorite, it can barely be regarded as divine iron, and I don't know if the blacksmith shop in the town can accept this meteorite.
"Most of the blacksmith shops in the mortal world can't accept it, we can go to the next city and find the refining sect, they will like this thing. Su Chen said.
"That's fine, even if you don't exchange money, it's good to be able to exchange something else useful. Long Qingyan nodded approvingly, "And if you can meet Tiangong Pavilion, you can also ask them to help refine the weapon, of course, if you ask them for help, the price will be expensive." ”
"Changing money for money, changing money for money, you can eat and drink, and it's convenient to do anything!" Xiyue said, "Isn't there an old saying among the people? ”
Su Chen and Long Qingyan looked at her and didn't speak. Xiyue was still looking at herself and said, "And with the money, we can also try to see if we can buy off the defenders of Huansu City, maybe...... Hey, hey, hey!"
"You said that if you find the Tiangong Pavilion, what kind of thing should you refine?" Su Chen asked Long Qingyan.
"We don't lack weapons, but they are shortcomings and things to escape. Long Qingyan replied, "When the time comes, you can see if you can refine this kind of magic weapon." ”
"Are you ignoring me?!" Xiyue was furious.
"Ah Yue, money is something outside the body, as a monk, you should treat money as dung!" Long Qing said earnestly.
"Su Chen!" Xiyue stomped her foot, "Look at him......"
"Aaron is right. Su Chen said.
"Ahh
Su Chen rolled on the ground with his feet covered, and Long Qingyan laughed: "I laughed to death! I really deserve it!" However, his smile quickly froze, because a basin-like object suddenly flew out and hit Long Qingyan's face, the laughter stopped abruptly, and Long Qingyan covered his face and rolled on the ground......
"Hmph, two big pig's trotters, neither of them is a good thing!" Xiyue's voice came out.
On the ground, Long Qingyan said to Su Chen with pity: "Brother, I have suffered you, I don't dare to imagine your future days." ”
Su Chen glared at him, "What do you mean by this?"
Long Qing said: "Alas, the pure child ......"
"Get out!"
The next day, the three of them hit the road after breakfast.
The nearest city is only a hundred miles away, and with the three of them, they can reach the city called "Xingcheng" in half a day at most. It is said that in this city, there is the industry of Tiangong Pavilion, of course, the scale is relatively small, but it is enough for the three of them.
Along the way, they met a lot of monks who went to the East, all because of the birth of this strange treasure, most of them just wanted to witness a grand event, and a few felt that they had the strength to fight for a chance.
Half a day later, Su Chen and the three arrived in Xingcheng, and after a little inquiry, they knew where Tiangong Pavilion was.
Looking at the magnificent and tall building in front of them, the three of them couldn't help but sigh, it was worthy of being the No. 1 Refining Sect in Kyushu, and the stations of a small city were all so luxurious! No wonder the people who pointed the way said, look at which building is the tallest, largest and most luxurious, it is the Tiangong Pavilion.
This is a seven-storey attic, there are two stone beasts outside the main entrance, one is a lion wolf head, has four eyes, is a kind of alien beast called "four-eyed wolf lion", the other dragon-tailed tiger body, head like a crocodile, single horn, this is a strange beast called "crocodile dragon", the legend is a side line of the dragon family, the bloodline is not pure, but it is also very powerful, there is the existence of this clan in the Eastern Wilderness.
"Three distinguished guests, please inside. A little guy at the door stepped forward and politely invited the three of them in.
"Let's go. Long Qingyan smiled and beckoned the two partners to enter.
Tiangong Pavilion, a famous sect in the land of Shenzhou, and it has existed in Kyushu since millions of years ago. It is the world's first refining sect, and it is also the richest sect in Shenzhou, neutral and very good at doing business, and it is said that one of the ancestors of Tiangong Pavilion is also ranked in the "Humane Extreme Realm", and is one of the few emperors in the history of Shenzhou.
Besides, as the first sect of Shenzhou refining, many major forces of the Great Gate Sect have cooperative relations with it, to a certain extent, they are mutually beneficial and reciprocal, Tiangong Pavilion provides them with magic weapons, and other sect forces provide protection to Tiangong Pavilion, and even some royal families also support Tiangong Pavilion.
"However, there is one thing that is very unfavorable to Tiangong Pavilion, there are rumors that Tiangong Pavilion is related to the Demon Sect, but there has been no substantial evidence. Long Qingyan whispered to the two partners.
"Demon Sect?" Xiyue said in surprise, "Isn't that a lineage that can be ranked alongside the three major sects of the human race?"
"That's right, the Demon Cult was also founded by the human race, but because of the concept since ancient times, the Demon Cult has always been hostile to the world. Su Chen added, "Actually, the Demon Sect is just that its beliefs and ideas are incompatible with the traditional ones, so it is on the opposite side of other sects. ”
Su Xingfeng said these words to Su Chen, when Su Chen read the history of Shenzhou, and when he saw the records about the Demon Sect, he once asked Su Xingfeng, why the Demon Sect is not tolerated by the world, but there are still people who are willing to become "demons"? Su Xingfeng solemnly said to Su Chen: "The so-called difference between immortals and demons is just the people's hearts, cultivating immortals and demons are all cultivators, the heart is right, the heart is not right, the heart is not right, the road is not right, it doesn't matter the fairy road and the devil's way." Demons are just a different path from immortals, and they will eventually return to the Tao. ”
Today's Demon Sect is not in Kyushu, it is said that its main altar is in southern Xinjiang, and it has not appeared for many years, maybe this time Qingzhou is in the wind, and the Demon Sect will also appear.
Under the leadership of the little guy in front, the three of them stepped into the Tiangong Pavilion for the first time.
