Chapter Twenty-Three: Meet in the Shengyang Mountains
In the Holy Sword City, Su Bei and the rich middle-aged monk walked side by side on the street, seemingly talking happily, and the sound of laughter between the two could be heard from time to time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It turned out that the rich middle-aged monk's name was Sha Tongtian, forty-three years old this year, and he was a treasure hunter in the "Treasure Pavilion" of the Holy Sword City.
The Treasure Pavilion is the ninth-ranked treasure trading force in the Holy Sword City, mainly engaged in the purchase and sale of spirit grass, pills, blades, and demon beast inner pills.
There is a treasure connoisseur who is responsible for determining the value of the treasures, and the treasure hunter is responsible for searching for rare treasures.
Don't look at Sha Tongtian's appearance as a harmless rich man, but he is a genuine ninth-order cultivator, and he can be regarded as a master wherever he is placed outside the Holy Sword City.
Of course, the Holy Sword City, as the location of the Holy Sword Palace sect, is full of king-level monks, and emperor-level masters appear frequently, and the ninth-order monks are a little insufficient.
Sha Tongtian himself didn't have much ambition for cultivation, and according to him, cultivation was far less advanced than a pile of shiny yuan stones that made him feel happy.
Su Bei and Sha Tongtian talked all the way, and soon came to an inn in the north of the Holy Sword City.
I saw that this inn has a magnificent gate of red vermilion lacquer, there are two mighty beasts with the head of a lion and a dragon standing in front of the door, and the top of the door is hung with a plaque of golden silk nanmu, and three imposing big characters are written on it, "drunken wind building".
"Brother Subei", Sha Tongtian is a self-acquaintance, and after knowing the name of Subei, he no longer calls him a fellow Daoist, and directly refers to him as a brother, "You're a little late." The Holy Sword Palace's five-year apprenticeship ceremony was held half a month later. The young Junyan who wanted to enter the Holy Sword Palace in the various star fields of the Holy Sword Universe had filled the major inns in the Holy Sword City three months ago. But with Brother Sha here, you won't be allowed to sleep on the streets. Brother Sha has an upper room in this drunken wind building, and if you need it, you can transfer it to you, just pay Brother two high-grade Yuan Stones every day. ”
"Brother Xie Sha in Northern Jiangsu is good, but you have also seen it, I only have a sixth-order demon beast Neidan on my body, and I have sold it to my brother just now. Now there is nothing else on his body, these two high-grade yuan stones every day, I am afraid that I will not be able to take them out. I'd better find another place. Su Bei shook his head and said.
"It's okay, the elder brother has something to discuss, if the elder brother Su agrees, not only will the rent of two high-grade yuan stones be not worried every day, but there will also be a rich return of the yuan stones. Brother, please follow me into this drunken wind building, and there are two Taoist friends who have been waiting for a long time, and we will discuss important matters together. ”
Sha Tongtian didn't wait for Su Bei to express his position, so he enthusiastically took his arm and led him to the drunken wind building.
Su Bei let Sha Tongtian pull him into the Drunken Wind Tower, but his mind was racing, quickly thinking about what he had seen and heard after entering the Holy Sword City and the current situation.
"The Holy Sword Palace's five-year apprenticeship ceremony will be held in half a month? And this Sha Tongtian befriended me like this, it must have some intention. However, although he looks like a businessman, he doesn't seem to be a treacherous person, so I'll wait and see what happens. ”
Su Bei made up his mind to take a look at what medicine was sold in Shatongtian's gourd first, and entered the Drunken Wind Building with him.
Entering the Zuifeng Building, I saw that hundreds of tables had been placed in the lobby on the first floor, each table was full, and the business was really hot.
Sha Tongtian led Su Bei to the second floor and entered an accord called "Huihao Pavilion".
In the Accord, there is a round table of precious rosewood, on which several plates of exquisite dishes are already staggered, and in the center there is a white jade wine jug decorated with a cloud pattern.
The two monks, who looked to be slightly younger than Sha Tongtian, sat upright at the table and did not communicate with each other.
"The two Taoist friends have been waiting for a long time, forgive the sin, forgive the sin, it's the elder brother I didn't entertain well, and I neglected the two, don't be surprised. After Sha Tongtian saw the two people in the house, he hurriedly smiled and apologized.
I saw two people in the Accord, one was dignified and energetic, but there seemed to be depression between his eyebrows, and the other was short and ordinary, but he had a pair of peach blossom eyes, giving people a sense of bohemianism.
After Sha Tongtian's introduction, the two were named Lan Gu and You Shaoyong respectively.
After Su Bei and Lan Gu, You Shaoyong, and Sha Tongtian greeted each other, they sat down, and Sha Tongtian said: "Inviting the three of you here today is really an important matter to discuss. Before discussing this matter, I also ask the three of them to guarantee that even if the three of them are unwilling to participate in today's discussion, they must not reveal a word to the outside world. This matter is related to the interests of my Treasure Pavilion, if the three of them leak out, even if my brother and I are easy to talk to, but Treasure Pavilion will not give up easily. ”
The three of them looked at each other, and the diminutive You Shaoyong smiled: "I can naturally guarantee it." ”
Lan Gu also said expressionlessly: "It's the same." ”
Sha Tongtian looked at Su Bei again, and the latter smiled: "Naturally, I am the same." ”
Sha Tongtian nodded, and the momentum of the Treasure Hunter of the Treasure Pavilion seemed to return to his body in an instant, and Zhengse said, "The three are all top masters below the king level. Needless to say, Lan Gu Daoist Fellows, a real ninth-order cultivator, from the 'Wind Breaking City' in the western part of the Holy Sword Star, has just been thirty-one years old this year, and it is difficult to meet opponents below the king level. Brother You Shaoyong is my old partner, and I can also trust the strength of an eighth-order monk. As for this Northern Subei brother, the first time I saw you outside the Holy Sword City, I knew that you must be an ordinary person. Wearing a beast skin and being penniless, but being able to take out a sixth-order demon beast in his hand, he must have lived in the deep mountains and evil waters since he was a child, and he rarely had contact with the outside world. Brother, a monk like you, since he was a child, his experience in fighting and killing demon beasts must be extremely rich, and his combat power cannot be measured by cultivation, although he is only a seventh-order monk, he can't say that he can play the role of a ninth-order monk when fighting demon beasts. Brother, I'm not talented, and I'm also at the level of a ninth-order monk. Today, you are gathered to do a great thing. I already have definite news, there is a one-horned dragon on the periphery of the Shengyang Mountain Range recently, and the one-horned dragon is at the half-king level, and it has a dragon character, and nine times out of ten there are patterns engraved on the inner dan. The demon beast Neidan engraved with the Dao pattern, generally only the inner Dan of the king-level demon beast will be engraved with the Dao pattern, the king-level demon beast is not something we can hunt, but this half-king-level one-horned dragon, the four of us get together, and the chance of success is still very great. ”
Hearing what Sha Tongtian said, Su Bei couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it turned out that Sha Tongtian also regarded himself as a native in the wilderness since he was a child, so he warmly invited himself to join. However, he was not in a hurry to explain, having such an identity was a good way to hide his ignorance of the Holy Sword Star.
Lan Gu, who had an extraordinary bearing, suddenly asked, "How much is the Demon Beast Neidan engraved with Dao patterns?"
"The Dao Pattern Inner Dan of the Demon Beast, regardless of the level of the Demon Beast, only the attributes and complexity of the Dao Pattern, are generally worth two thousand to twenty thousand high-grade Yuan Stones. This half-king-level one-horned Xuanlong, if it is really as we expected, the inner dan is engraved with a dao pattern, and it is worth at least two thousand high-grade yuan stones, or even more. Afterwards, the four of us, each of us received at least five hundred high-grade Yuan Stones, which was enough for us to purchase a large amount of foundation in this Sacred Sword City, where every inch of land was valuable, or absorb the Yuan Force in it to advance to the first level of cultivation. ”
Sha Tongtian didn't answer yet, but You Shaoyong made an explanation.
"Very good, the purpose of my trip is to enter the Holy Sword Palace, but the entrance test of the Holy Sword Palace requires a fee of one thousand high-grade yuan stones, and I took this business, and the cost is almost enough. Lan Gu nodded and agreed.
"Lan Gudao friends are willing to join, and we have a great grasp of this trip. "Sha Tongtian and You Shaoyong are very happy.
Then the two of them looked at Su Bei together, and the latter smiled bitterly: "My seventh-order monk's cultivation is going to fight a half-king-level demon beast, and I don't have much confidence." But since Brother Sha loves it, I also took over this business. After all, I also want to participate in the Holy Sword Palace's apprenticeship ceremony on this trip, I just heard what Lan Gu Daoyou said, to participate in the entrance test, you have to pay 1,000 top-grade yuan stones?
