The Twelfth Drop of Blood (Part I)
Yi Kui was awakened by a loud noise, only to realize that he had unconsciously taken a nap for a while while while closing his eyes and recuperating. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Wake up?" When I opened my eyes, I saw Shi Jin sitting next to him energetically, with a look of anticipation, "I just got up, it seems that it is already dawn, go outside and have a look?"
At this time, there were basically no people in the liquor store, but there was a commotion outside the door, and there seemed to be many people moving around the street.
Yi Kui had never experienced a day in this world, so naturally he would not let go of this opportunity to have a good experience, so he readily agreed, first took out a small purple berry from the package and put it in his mouth, and then stuffed a bag into the plural.
Shi Jin was surprised when he saw him take out the Pluto Beast, "You still have a Pluto Beast?"
In the Yunjiao Continent, it is not common for people to accept powerful underworld beasts as combat partners, the main reason is that it is difficult for underworld beasts to surrender to the human race, most of them are stubborn and violent guys, and they would rather die in battle than be driven by the human race. The second is that if you want to drive the beast, you must transmit your thoughts through the inscription, so that the beast can know the master's orders and intentions, but to engrave the inscription on the beast and the master, it is a very profound and complex work, and only a profound talisman master can do it.
Like the mystical Channeler, the Talisman Master is a rare class, the former due to physical limitations, and the latter due to esoteric difficulties. These two are far inferior in number compared to the relatively large base and the number of fire refiners that everyone can become above the four heavens.
Therefore, if you want to hire a talisman master who has the ability to engrave inscriptions, the crystal coins paid are definitely a huge amount.
Besides, even if it is engraved with an inscription and can freely transmit thoughts with the beast, the combat power that the beast can provide for its master is limited by its intelligence and the tacit understanding with its master. Therefore, most of those who have suitable partners for the beast exist among the strong, and with their current strength, subduing the beast is a matter that far outweighs the reward.
"You actually brought the Immortal Beast with you, how is your combat power?"
This master couldn't have spent all his crystal coins on the Immortal Beast, so he was so poor, right? In Shi Jin's heart, the Imperial Envoy Immortal Beast was too extravagant in their stage.
Yi Kui showed full curiosity about him and was a little surprised, but he didn't intend to tell him the truth.
The beating heart in his chest seemed to be able to feel the touch of the cold sharp knife piercing at the beginning, the sharp pain made him unforgettable, people's hearts are changeable, comrades-in-arms who have known each other for many years and died together can attack him, who else can not betray him? That knife not only ended his life in his previous life, but also cut off his trust in others.
"Sort of, there's no combat power. Yi Xiao replied casually, and then walked with him to the door.
Shi Jin saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he didn't ask any more.
Put your hand on the door and push it gently, a dazzling light shines in, warm and dazzling, at the end of the world, shrouded in the thin clouds of the early morning, behind the clouds the glow of the clouds, a round of brilliant sun hanging in the sky.
Yi Qi couldn't help but squint, slightly accustomed to standing on the crowded street with Shi Jin for a long time.
At this time, the streets were completely different from usual, the smell of sunlight was floating in the air, Yi Xiao's eyes quickly swept over the streets, most of the shops had put away the light stone lanterns, and the remaining sparks had been completely hidden in the scorching sunlight. The temperature seems to have risen a lot, and although it is still cold, it is within the acceptable range compared to a few hours ago.
"It's so bright!" Shi Jin sighed, "Haha, it makes people feel happy!"
Yi Qi slightly hooked the corners of his lips, he himself has night vision, and he can see clearly with a little light, this kind of gap between day and night must be particularly significant for Shi Jin. Bathed in the sun, there is a very peculiar sense of comfort all over the body, this comfort is very obvious, unlike the pleasure of simply liking the sun. However, there was another thing that made him particularly concerned.
"I've noticed from just now that my strength seems to be greatly limited, do you feel like this?" Yi Qi sensed the cold current in his body that had shrunk in a circle, and asked Shi Jin.
"You're talking about the suppression of the Underworld, right? This is normal, and our Underworld will be very weak on the Bright Day. It is really unfair that the cultivators of the Yang system will not be suppressed by the Yang Qi in the Nine Heavens and Nights, but the Yin Cultivation will be suppressed by the Yang Qi of the Riot on the Yao Day!" Shi Jin complained a few words, and then he was instantly relieved, "But the Yang Qi is only so good, for example, there is so little Yang Qi today, and the Nine Days of Darkness and One Day are bright, and the cultivation speed of the Yang System is several times slower than ours." Now there are fewer and fewer yang cultivators!"
Yi Xiao bowed his head, and then he realized that the cold current in his body was called the Underworld Yuan, and he himself belonged to the Underworld Yuan Qi Master.
"Will a cultivator of the Yang system restrain the underworld?"
"Neither side has taken advantage of this aspect, the cultivators of the Yang and Netherworld systems are mutually restrained. Haha, now it's the world of the underworld, although all of them in the yang system are not easy to mess with, but the spiritual cultivation is better than them in terms of numbers. ā
"What is the reason why the Heaven and Earth Yang Qi of the Yao Date will suppress the underworld cultivators, and the normal Yang cultivators will not be affected?"
Shi Jin scratched his head, "I don't know the specific reason, there are different theories, the most reliable one is related to the collision and fusion of the underworld and the human world at the beginning, but what is really going on is only known by those powers, haha, this truth is not something we can access at this stage." ā
"Brother Yi Qi, do you have anything you are interested in? During the day, the city is the time when the most people gather, and many good things will be put out in the market at this time. Shi Jin and Yi Qi shuttled through the crowd and explained to him, "I also want to see if I can find any good goods this time, some fools don't understand the market price, and often sell good things cheaply." Last time, I also used ten crystal coins to buy a small piece of the ghost spirit of the king of the earth, the earth leader was originally a demon born and raised in the underworld, and the ghost spirit in its body has a very good affinity for the underworld, which can slightly increase the cultivation speed for us. ā
Seeing the way his eyes lit up, Yi Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Do you know the 'Horn Bead'? What is the value of that thing?"
"Shark Pearl? That is definitely a treasure that everyone knows! Its value is immeasurable! The shark people are extremely sad, in extreme pain, and tears become beads, this is the shark pearl. However, I heard that the merman is a creature that never cries easily, tears are condensed from the essence of life, and when the tears are gone, they die. Shark Beads have an incredible energy affinity, whether it is a yang or underworld system, the cultivation speed can be increased by a minimum of three times the original! This terrifying increase is enough to make everyone rush to it, of course, the number is also extremely rare, it seems that it has only appeared in the underground black market of the imperial capital......"
Yi Qi was silent for a long time, remembering to torture him in the dungeon, observing his face from time to time, he finally understood where the shark bead came from, and also understood the reason why the girl in white asked him not to reveal his identity. Shi Jin couldn't understand the look in his inky jade eyes, and it took a while to hear him whisper, "Let's go." ā
As Shi Jin said, there were indeed a lot more businesses on the street, and there were still many scattered cultivators who set up stalls on the side of the street.
There are many kinds of pills with different effects, such as those that purify the heart and calm the soul during cultivation, those used to detoxify and heal injuries, and those that stimulate potential to temporarily improve ability. There was even a pill that slightly improved cultivation, but the sequelae were also prohibitive. Like this kind of elixir that forcibly enhances cultivation, it is basically difficult to advance an inch after taking it, but some people with poor talent, after being unable to break through for a long time no matter what, will buy it to improve their cultivation for the last time and enhance their combat power, which can be regarded as a helpless move.
Yi Kui stood in front of a small stall that was not very popular, and his eyes were on a thin and shabby book.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his thirties, and when he saw his great interest, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Little brother, what, do you want to buy this Yuan Qi recipe? This Yuan Qi recipe is the secret book of my Hu Ke's family heirloom collection, and all kinds of low-level Yuan Qi recipes are complete! The price is fair!"
Shi Jin sneered: "The secret codex? What kind of secret book is the basic Yuan Qi Technique? Which Yuan Qi master has not learned it? If it is in the territory of the empire, this kind of Yuan Qi Recipe is free, don't use this set to fool the master! Brother Yi Qi, I didn't expect you to lack this, if I had known you earlier, I would have been able to show you the master even if it was a middle-level Yuan Qi recipe in my family!"
Yi Qi asked directly, "How many crystal coins?"
The middle-aged man was not annoyed by Shi Jin's poofing and ridicule, and replied with a smile, "Just ten crystal coins......"
"Are you robbing!?" Shi Jin's eyes widened, and Yi Qi also frowned, and turned around and left without saying a word. It's not that he deliberately wants to get away with it, but he really doesn't have ten crystals at all.
"Hey, little brother, don't go, let's talk about it again, how about five crystal coins?" The middle-aged man saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly changed his words with a shy face.
"I'll ask for two crystals. ā
"This, that's too little......"
Yi Kui glanced at him lightly, looking a little impatient. Seeing him like this, the middle-aged man finally agreed to make a deal based on the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat.
Flipping through the book casually, there are indeed many Yuan Qi recipes recorded on it, and the detailed explanations are also very clear, Yi Xiao put it away with satisfaction, and prepared to read it again in his spare time. Now he's back penniless, and he's in debt.
And his creditor was still chattering beside him to complain about him, "The basic vitality recipe is really worthless, let that guy make money in vain, it's just a free book brought out of the territory, and a family heirloom secret book, who knows how many other family heirloom secret books!"
"It's okay, will there be a magic jade to sell here?"
Yi Kui was in a good mood, he hadn't forgotten that he was being hunted down by a domain lord in Bai Zhaoguo, so naturally he wouldn't go to the territory at this time, and it was lucky to be able to get a copy of the Yuan Qi recipe cheaply.
"Fayu definitely has it, but the circulation on the market will not be too good. Shi Jin explained.
Yi Xiao doesn't care much about this, it would be good to have a certain increase, and he only plans to see it today, and when the date of Yao passes, he will hunt more underworld beasts outside in exchange for crystal coins, maybe he can afford to find a satisfactory one next time.
The two walked along the street and looked at all the merchants who sold the jade, and under Shi Jin's explanation, Yi Kui also figured out how to judge the merits of the jade.
Different jade stones are made of different jade, polished into beads, and then pulled up with sandalwood threads that act as conductors and worn on the back of the hands of the Genki Master.
According to the different materials of jade and the sophistication of the fire refiner's technique, there are obvious advantages and disadvantages of magic jade. In general, it is divided into four levels, lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and best grade. Lower-grade jade is generally made from common green jade, and most Yuan Qi masters use green jade, which can provide a certain amplification effect for the user, so as to more easily attract the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth. And the effect of blue jade, white jade, and black jade is even higher than one layer.
When the two of them stayed in the shop, Yi Xiao suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and an indescribable feeling swept away, as if he was being watched by something, and all his actions were exposed in front of others.
