Chapter Seventy-Six: The Phantom Mirror
After that, in the evening, Ning Ling'er followed Chen Likong and left. Ling Zheng didn't go to see him off, because he didn't want Ning Ling'er to see him crying.
Because he handed over most of his net worth to Ning Ling'er, Ling Zheng used the few second-grade spiritual jade on his body to buy a jar of the best wine on Qionghua Island, and sat alone in the courtyard to drink.
Although there is no moon tonight, the starry sky dotted with stars is also beautiful. But Ling Zheng no longer had the heart to enjoy the scenery, he just wanted to get drunk.
After returning to Minglei Mountain, Wang Zhongyu, the head of Minglei Mountain, sent the masters of the door to wait for Ling Zheng around Qionghua Island, and only after he left Qionghua Island, he carried his head to receive the reward.
Ling Zheng already knew about these things from Xu Bule, the second master of Qionghuatai, but he didn't worry too much, he already had a plan to get out.
Ling Zheng is not as elegant as Ning Qianhe, he can use the sage book to drink, he can be said to be just drinking for the sake of drinking, and the purpose is quite simple.
"Knock knock!"
A gentle knock sounded on the door, and before Ling Zheng could speak, Hua Susu's voice came into the courtyard: "Fellow Daoist, are you there? ”
Ling Zheng was not drunk yet, but he was a little puzzled why Xu Qiuhan was looking for him, and after nodding, he carried the half jar of wine that he had not finished drinking, and followed Hua Susu to the hall where Xu Qiuhan lived.
Halfway through, Hua Susu looked at Ling Zheng carefully a few more times, feeling that he was now full of alcohol and didn't say a word, more like the dead lover of the three masters, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
Because the courtyard where Ling Zheng lived was not far from the palace where Xu Qiuhan was, it was only a moment of effort, Hua Susu brought Ling Zheng to the door of the main hall, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Ling Zheng nodded, returned the salute with a smile, and then walked in.
The hall was empty, and there were no other furnishings except for a few stone chairs and a stone bed, which looked a little shabby. Ling Zheng glanced around carefully, feeling that this somewhat shabby decoration was really a little unworthy of the identity of the third master of Qionghuatai, but he didn't think much about it.
Xu Qiuhan was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed at the end of the hall, after Ling Zheng entered the hall, she opened her beautiful eyes that were cold and charming, looking at Ling Zheng carrying the wine jar, her eyes were slightly scattered, and her eyes were a little dazed again.
"What is the third master looking for me?" Ling Zheng met Xu Qiuhan's gaze, bowed slightly, and asked.
"The master has already left with the little junior sister, and I guess Daoyou already knows this. Xu Qiuhan said, stepped off the stone bed, walked slowly to Ling Zheng's side, and asked, "Before the master left, he specially instructed the three of us senior brothers and sisters to meet the requirements of Daoyou, even if it is one, I don't know if Daoyou needs our Qionghuatai to do?"
Xu Qiuhan's voice was still cold and pleasant, Ling Zheng just shook his head and smiled when he heard this: "The three masters of the stage have already helped me once when Wang Zhongyu attacked me, which is considered a great favor, and it is good to offset the two." ”
Xu Qiuhan shook his head: "This is different. ”
Ling Zheng looked at this black-clad woman with a charming and cold character, for some reason, her mouth was a little dry, so she raised her head and poured a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I really don't understand, why Senior Chen has to do something for me to feel at ease." But in my opinion, if you rely on this matter to make demands on the three masters, it will be like selling Ling'er. ”
Ling Zheng said what he said from his heart, but Xu Qiuhan only thought that he was polite, and shook his head again: "This is different. ”
After a pause, Xu Qiuhan said again: "Daoist friends are not more restrained, just mention any requirements." As long as it is within the reach of our brothers and sisters, it will definitely be done for Daoyou. ”
Xu Qiuhan's words were very manly, which made Ling Zheng feel a little weird. But seeing that Xu Qiuhan's eyes and tone were extremely resolute, Ling Zheng asked tentatively: "What if I don't make a request?"
The corners of Xu Qiuhan's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled, and said, "Then we can only detain you here until you make a request." ”
Seeing that Ling Zheng's face became a little strange, Xu Qiuhan continued: "This is the first thing that Master and his old man have asked us to do over the years that they have taken us as apprentices, we must complete it, and we ask Daoyou to be considerate." ”
Ling Zheng shook his head helplessly, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "I want the bronze mirror that you auctioned off before." ”
Ling Zheng didn't know that the purple bronze mirror was taken away by someone arranged by Xu Bule, the owner of the second station. In his heart, he only wanted to put forward a condition that this Qionghuatai couldn't do, so that the three masters of this Qionghuatai would retreat.
Now that it's all auctioned off, will you Qionghuatai still ask for that mirror back because of my words?
Ling Zheng had wishful thinking in his heart, waiting for Xu Qiuhan's refusal, but he didn't expect Xu Qiuhan to just nodded, and with a flash of light on his hand, he placed the purple bronze mirror that had previously sensed the ghost bead in front of Ling Zheng.
Seeing that Ling Zheng was a little stunned, Xu Qiuhan said: "The price of eight thousand pieces of third-grade spirit jade before was just shouted out by the second brother himself, but I didn't expect that there was really no one to bid, so this thing continued to be smashed in his hands." Since you want it, you can take it. ”
Is that okay too?
Ling Zheng, whose wishful thinking was severely shattered, was stunned for a while, and secretly scolded the two masters, Xu Bule, for a profiteer.
After thinking about it carefully, Ling Zheng took out a blank talisman from the storage ring that originally belonged to Wang Peng in his hand, and then dipped the spear-like Xuanwen pen into some ink left over from teaching Ning Ling'er to write, and quickly wrote an IOU before Xu Qiuhan could react.
After that, Ling Zheng bit his finger, pressed a handprint on the IOU, handed it to Xu Qiuhan with a smile, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll buy this bronze mirror from the three masters." Because I don't have much spirit jade on my body, I have to keep the pill for my own use, so I can only give you an IOU, which will be paid off in the future. ”
Xu Qiuhan took the IOU handed over by Ling Zheng with some surprise, his eyes looked at the dog-like line of words on the IOU with strange eyes, and his cold eyes were a little trance again:
Ling Zheng owed the three masters 8,000 pieces of third-grade spirit jade.
This familiar scene made Xu Qiuhan stunned for a long time.
"Okay, I'll take the mirror. Ling Zheng said, putting the purple ancient mirror into the storage ring, and planned to try it after leaving.
He didn't forget about his debts, and kindly reminded Xu Qiuhan: "That, please keep the IOU well, and you should have a certificate when you repay your debts." I'm so forgetful that I might have forgotten about it that day. ”
Xu Qiuhan nodded lightly, and finally showed a smile on his face, which was even more charming and charming, and his posture was moving.
Ling Zheng was a little stunned, and then secretly scolded himself for being obscene, and then arched his hand to the three masters of Qionghuatai, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will take my leave, and I will see you when I repay my debts." ”
Xu Qiuhan watched Ling Zheng leave, and then turned his gaze to the IOU in his hand with words like a dog crawling, and his eyes were a little dazed again.
Immediately afterwards, the three masters of Qionghuatai took out another IOU from his storage ring that she regarded as a treasure, and on that IOU, the words were also like a dog crawling, but the same thing was that the force used to write was not small, and it almost pierced the note. It shows the resolute intentions of the writer.
"Ying Qingcang owes Xu Qiuhan a lifetime. ”
Xu Qiuhan looked at the yellowed IOU and smiled and wept.
Ling Zheng walked quickly back to his courtyard with the wine jar, walked straight into the house, first closed the doors and windows, and then laid out several layers of formations in the room, and then took out the purple bronze mirror from the ring with confidence.
He reached out and stroked the grooves around the purple bronze mirror, and with a movement of his mind, he summoned the ghost bead from his body.
Because the distance was too close, the Demon Bead trembled violently, and there were faint signs of loss of control.
Ling Zheng didn't think much about it, and directly put the ghost bead into a groove around the purple bronze mirror, and with a light touch, he embedded it in it.
The purple bronze mirror embedded in the Demon Bead did not move at all, and it still maintained its previous appearance like scrap metal.
Seeing that the purple bronze mirror had no reaction, Ling Zheng was a little puzzled, and reached out to touch it.
This touch almost killed Ling Zheng.
The moment his palm touched the purple bronze mirror, Ling Zheng felt a powerful suction force coming from inside the purple bronze mirror, and began to frantically extract the attributeless true element in Ling Zheng's body.
The white True Yuan was constantly drawn into the purple bronze mirror, and in just a few breaths, the non-attribute True Yuan in Ling Zheng's body, which was at least five times thicker than that of a cultivator of the same realm, was almost wiped clean.
If this were other cultivators, they wouldn't have been exhausted and died of exhaustion in their bodies all at once?!
Ling Zheng's reaction was not slow, he hurriedly took out the jade snow pill from the ring, and swallowed a dozen of them, feeling that the dozen or so jade snow pills had just been swallowed, and they were driven into medicinal power by the non-attribute spiritual veins that vibrated wildly in the body, and after being transformed into non-attribute true yuan, before they could flow into the dantian, they were taken away by the purple bronze mirror.
The true yuan refined by more than a dozen Jade Snow Pills was only smoked out after a while.
Ling Zheng wanted to withdraw his palm, but he felt like his palm was glued to the purple bronze mirror, and he couldn't control it at all.
He could only grab a handful of Jade Snow Pill again and take it down.
After repeating the cycle a few times, the only more than a hundred pills on Ling Zheng's body were swallowed by him to only six, and if he continued like this, without the pills, he would definitely be blown up by this purple bronze mirror and die of death.
What to do?
Just when Ling Zheng was anxious, the black ancient mirror entrenched in his dantian appeared uncontrollably between Ling Zheng and the purple bronze mirror, only to shake slightly, and after a trembling sound, the purple bronze mirror that had been frantically extracting Ling Zheng's true yuan immediately quieted down like a mouse seeing a cat.
Ling Zheng, who hurriedly withdrew his palm, sat on the ground sweating profusely, looked at the purple bronze mirror that was already faintly shining, bit his finger, and threw a drop of blood on the purple bronze mirror.
The purple bronze mirror trembled for a while, and then the brilliance was restrained, and it was considered a success by Ling Zheng. Only then did Ling Zheng stand up, and his spiritual sense probed the purple bronze mirror inlaid with ghost beads, reading the information inside the purple bronze mirror.
But just after reading a few words of the purple bronze mirror's information, Ling Zheng was stunned in place, and his hands trembled a little with excitement.
"Phantom Mirror, the king of immortal artifacts who is only one line away from the artifact......"
"I, I got a immortal, immortal artifact?!"
Ling Zheng burst into a foul mouth, dumbfounded, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
