Chapter 130: The Pavilion of Authenticity
Chapter 130: The Pavilion of Authenticity
Ponder.
After carefully looking at the guards at the city gate, Ling Feng suddenly said, "Those guards are from the Bat Sect?"
"Mr. Ling's good eyesight!" praised him, Li Chong said: "Yes, the three major forces take turns guarding the city gate according to each other's agreement, and they can charge a certain fee for entering the city, but like our Eastern Caravan has the protection of the Boneless Gate, we can be exempted from this fee." ”
Ling Feng nodded and said, "In this way, this flag is really wonderful. ”
"Hehe, it's kind of worth the money. Sighing helplessly, Li Chong smiled bitterly: "A banner like this will cost our caravan 150,000 gold coins every year! The fees charged by the Bat Sect and the True Thing Pavilion are even higher, reaching 300,000 gold coins! There are countless other harsh conditions. ”
A caravan has to pay 150,000 gold coins, and it is difficult to imagine the number of caravans that can be accommodated by the scale of Moyunsu alone, and the wealth that this side of the force can accumulate in this way is simply appalling. Compared with these three major forces, Nicole's Duobao Pavilion is also beyond reach.
After a pause, Li Chong said hesitantly: "Mr. Ling, I'll ask a lot of questions, I don't know what you came to Moyunsu for-"
"I'm afraid Steward Li has already had doubts, right?" Ling Feng smiled slightly, and said, "We're just here to get some raw materials for refining the seal, and as for the previous encounter with the Nine-Tailed Fox, it was just a coincidence. ”
Ling Feng's frank explanation obviously relieved Li Chong, and he said apologetically: "Mr. Ling, don't blame the old man for being suspicious, he really can't afford to make a mistake in this caravan, he was so negligent before, and I hope Mr. Ling will not be surprised." ”
Li Chong's worries had actually been in his heart for a long time, after all, the Eastern Caravan was going to an area like Moyunsu where the forces of all parties were intricate, and Ling Feng and his party on the road suddenly showed a strong strength that was completely different from the original low-key. It was inevitable that he didn't think deeply about the purpose of Ling Feng and the others, so he caused Li Chong to be wary of Ling Feng and the others along the way.
Ling Feng even understood that Li Chong had another worry in his heart, that is, about Dongfang Shan's strange spirit! It could be said that once Shanshan's strange spirit skill was known, I was afraid that it would immediately cause an uproar, and it would be absolutely difficult to protect her with the strength of Dongfang Caravan.
With the information that Ling Feng knew, even Martial God Peak would send someone down at that time! Therefore, knowing what Li Chong was worried about, Ling Feng did not feel the slightest surprise.
"Mr. Ling, if the raw materials for refining the chapter are particularly rare, you can choose to participate in the 'Gu Jin Auction', and you may encounter them. Seeing that Ling Feng was puzzled, Li Chong explained: "This Gu Jin auction specializes in selling all kinds of precious items, including cultivation skills, crystal seals, high-star magic cores and other priceless treasures! No one knows where the forces behind it belong, but even at the level of the three major forces, no one dares to offend the auction, and there are even rumors that the real owner of the Gu Jin auction is the royal family of Yunmeng Kingdom!"
Ling Feng nodded, it seemed that this Yunsu was really a puddle of muddy water, far less simple than it seemed on the surface.
"There are often all kinds of strange things at auctions, and if you're lucky enough, you may not need to go into the Yunmeng Wasteland to get what you want. By the way, the old man has a pass to enter the auction, and it's useless to keep it anyway, so give it to Mr. Ling. ”
At this time, Hao Yun rode forward, he looked curiously at a gold-like and silver badge handed over by Li Chong, and asked, "This is the Moyun Chapter?" Hehe, the head of the caravan I chose to join at that time also seemed to own this thing, and in front of the treasure, outsiders were not allowed to watch it at all. It's worth a lot of money, isn't it?"
With a gentle smile, Li Chong said, "Compared to Mr. Ling's help to our Eastern Caravan, this little thing is worthless. However, without this badge, it would be extremely difficult to enter the Gu Jin auction. ”
"Thank you, Steward Lee. Ling Feng was not hypocritical, and after thanking him, he closed it in the knots.
After putting aside some unnecessary concerns, Li Chong no longer had so much defense against Ling Feng, and took the initiative to invite Ling Feng and the others to his caravan's garrison in Moyunsu to rest. According to the news he received, there were still two days before Gu Jin's auction was held, so Ling Feng did not refuse, and accepted it after calmly thanking him.
Like the other caravans here, the Eastern Caravans are mostly engaged in transshipment and sales, and the main content is to exchange the materials they carry for various items obtained by adventurers from the Yunmeng Wasteland. If some items are particularly valuable, they will be traded directly with the magic crystal card.
Due to the fact that Yunmeng Wasteland produces all kinds of rare raw materials, etc., the caravan can make huge profits as soon as it changes hands, so that even after paying the "protection fee" of 150,000 yuan, the Eastern caravan can still have a surplus.
......
Early the next morning.
Ling Feng held the Star Iron Sword in his hand, the tip of the sword buzzed and trembled, and the sword body slowly slashed across the void in front of him. The sword was slow, as if it was hanging with a heavy object, and every tremor of the tip of the sword could drive the air to hiss continuously. He is so slow that even a child can easily see the trend of the sword, and it seems that he can easily avoid it as long as he moves it casually, but if someone really faces Ling Feng directly, he will find that every time he stabs out his sword, it seems that Mount Tai is about to fall, and Chongyue wants to fall, carrying an unparalleled momentum, which makes people feel that there is no way to avoid it!
Now that he is cultivating swordsmanship, Ling Feng no longer needs to practice hard with a sword, but more about meditation and enlightenment, seeking that kind of accumulation and inspiration!
He kept replaying the way of Heng Chong's sword in his mind, the swordsmanship that seemed to be wrapped in the majestic power of heaven and earth was really terrifying! As his cultivation deepened, Ling Feng also became more and more aware that Heng Chong had left too much affection for his subordinates when he fought against him, otherwise, as long as he stabbed out with all his strength, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist even a sword!
Body and sword in one!
——As long as you understand the way of the unity of the body and the sword, you will have the knocking brick to win the "Divine Imperial Sword", and then you will be able to truly join the forest of the powerhouses of this continent, right?
"Mr. Ling's good swordsmanship!"
At the gate of the courtyard, Li Chong strode in, followed by Dongfang Shan, who was bouncing around. Seeing Ling Feng's swordsmanship, others may be inexplicable, but as an eight-star powerhouse, Li Chong's eyesight is naturally extremely high, and he can see the supreme sword dao contained in each of Ling Feng's swords! This sword strike seems to have no strength, but in fact, a half-human-high bluestone slightly touches the edge of the sword momentum, and it will immediately be strangled and shattered into powder!
Seeing the two approaching, Ling Feng withdrew his long sword and said with a smile: "Steward Li got up so early!" As he spoke, he picked up Dongfang Shan and pinched the tip of her little nose: "Shanshan is also very diligent." ”
Dongfang Shan rubbed her confused eyes and complained: "Big brother, just now we went out to buy eggs, and that person was very fierce and refused to sell them to Shanshan." Hearing her say this, Li Chong's face changed suddenly, and he looked at Ling Feng nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ling Feng didn't seem to care at all.
Ling Feng smiled: "What kind of eggs does Shanshan want to buy, can the eldest brother help you buy them?"
"Okay!" Dongfang Shan became happy and turned his head to look at Li Chong: "Grandpa Li, let the big brother take Shanshan to buy it, okay? If that villain refuses to sell again, let the big brother beat him!"
Seeing the cute appearance of her little face wrinkled, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile.
Li Chong thought for a moment and explained vaguely: "Just now, we went to the Truth Pavilion and wanted to buy a Demon Beast Egg, so that in the future, we would ask a high-level alchemist to help refine it into a high-grade crystal seal. I didn't expect that the person in charge of the real thing pavilion would raise the price with the wind, and he would ask for a high-grade crystal medal before he was willing to trade, it was simply unreasonable!" With Li Chong's calm temperament, speaking so angrily was obviously extremely angry in his heart!
Ling Feng's heart moved, if he wanted to refine the crystal seal, the soul properties contained in the demon core were the most important thing. Generally speaking, the more powerful the soul physical properties, the more difficult it is to refine successfully, and the refining of high-grade crystal seals must use the magic core of seven to nine stars, so you can imagine how difficult it is to control the soul physical properties in it!
For ordinary high-level alchemists, refining failures were common. Over time, some people have come up with a trick, that is, to use the monster egg! Because the life of the monster contained in the monster egg is not yet mature, relatively speaking, the soul property is extremely weak, and the soul nature can be extracted by using strong perception and mind, and it is easier to refine, so the crystal seal after the formation is also a high-level crystal chapter! However, due to congenital deficiencies, although such a high-level crystal chapter can make the giant spirit enter the high level, it cannot make it have the ability to "transform"!
If it weren't for the strange spirit that Dongfang Shan had known for a long time, Ling Feng would have almost been concealed by Li Chong. Knowing the hidden worries in his heart, Ling Feng didn't blame him, but said to Dongfang Shan with a smile: "Then the big brother will accompany Shanshan to buy it back, okay?"
"Okay, Shanshan wants to hatch a little tiger with wings!" Li Chong was shocked when he heard this.
Hao Yun on the side just got up, and when he saw that there was a bustle, he followed honestly and unceremoniously. As for the Blood Guards, these lazy guys went to wander around early in the morning, and most of them set off in groups of three or five, and Ling Feng was not worried about their safety.
(Hao Yun was speechless: Those group of embryos, they don't threaten the safety of others are burning high incense, who is so blind to offend them?)
After going out, she turned left all the way, Dongfang Shan sat on Ling Feng's arm and babbled about how Hao Yun "bullied" her, and Ling Feng smiled again and again when she heard the innocent words.
He endured countless hardships since he was a child, and then was taken in by the Bing family, and learned the art of killing. It is undeniable that Ling Feng's mind is always too quiet, few people understand what he thinks, and he is always used to hiding himself deeply, unwilling to confide in others at will.
But when facing Dongfang Shan, Ling Feng completely forgot all the baggage, and completely relaxed in her innocent smile. Unconsciously, the blockage in his heart dissipated a lot, which made his soul become lively, and his understanding of heaven and earth seemed to be deeper......
