Chapter Twenty-Three: Forced Exchange
Sun Yi'an followed the pock-faced man into the stone house in the center of the square, and saw that the stone house was empty, only a small desk was placed in the center, and on the futon behind the case sat a young man in a black robe with a pale face, whose face was about the same age as Sun Yi'an, but his strong spiritual power told Sun Yi'an that this person was a genuine monk in the late stage of foundation building.
"Meet Senior Brother Law Enforcement Hallright!" The numb-faced man entered the stone house and folded his hands into fists respectfully. Sun Yi'an also followed closely behind and gave a salute to the senior brother Quan.
It is no wonder that the pock-faced people who are also in the foundation building period are so respectful, and the monks in the later stage of foundation building are the people who have cultivated to several elders and sect masters after the five peaks. That is to say, only a big sect with the prefix of "sect" such as Haoyang Sect can have such two or three monks in the late stage of foundation building, if they are placed in other sects, they are all elder-level existences.
Moreover, the gap between the cultivation of monks in the late stage of foundation building and the monk in the middle stage of foundation building cannot be measured at all, according to the classic records, one monk in the late stage of foundation building can compete with seven or eight monks in the middle stage of foundation building at the same time without falling behind. As for the early stage of foundation building, in the eyes of the late stage of foundation building, there is no difference between them and Qi refining stage monks, and it is not something that can be defeated by a large number of people at all. What's more, this Senior Brother Quan is the deacon of the Main Peak Law Enforcement Hall, and in the Haoyang Sect, the position of the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall has always been held by the most skilled person in the sect.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Lu, the deacon of the outer gate, and Senior Brother Lu brought this junior disciple from the Qi refining period here, but what are the disputes over the transaction?" The Senior Brother of the Law Enforcement Hall asked.
"Uh...... Back to Senior Brother Quan, we didn't have any disputes over the transaction, but this junior brother happened to have something very important to Zaixia, and he wanted to buy it at some cost, but there were many people outside, so he brought this junior brother to this stone house and let Senior Brother Quan be a witness, so as to dispel this junior brother's concerns. The pock-faced man surnamed Lu explained.
After hearing what the person surnamed Lu said with a numb face, Senior Brother Quan turned his head to look at Sun Yi'an and asked, "What's your name?" Which peak disciple is it? ”
"Senior Brother Huiquan, under Sun Yi'an, he studied under Elder Geng of Beixiongfeng." Sun Yi'an replied.
"Oh, Beixiong Peak...... I've heard that Uncle Geng did receive a registered disciple not long ago. I am currently contemplating a practice, but I don't have time to take care of your business, you go out and trade on your own, I believe that Senior Brother Lu will not do anything like buying and selling. After Senior Brother Quan finished speaking, he glanced at the person surnamed Lu with a deep face.
"Hehe~ Senior Brother Quan, although rest assured, how dare you embarrass Senior Brother Sun in the future, it is absolutely fair and just. Then the next two will not bother Senior Brother Quan's Qingxiu. After listening to what Senior Brother Quan said, the person surnamed Lu with a hemp face froze, and then said with a smile on his face, and then gently pulled Sun Yi'an's sleeve and motioned for Sun Yi'an to exit the stone house with him.
Seeing this, Sun Yi'an could only bow down and say his farewell, and then retreated from the stone house.
"Senior Brother Sun, you can rest assured now, right? Senior brother with the right to say this, I will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and I will never do anything unrighteous to you" After leaving the stone house, the person surnamed Lu with a hemp face regained a little confidence and spoke.
"Where is Senior Brother Lu, how can Senior Brother not worry about Senior Brother Lu." Sun Yi'an replied. Through the conversation just now, Sun Yi'an also knew that this pock-faced monk's surname was Lu, as if he was still holding some position in the sect.
"Haha! That's good, Senior Brother Sun, I think there is a place on the west side of the square that is also clean, and it's not far from the square, why don't we go there and talk? Seeing Sun Yi'an say this, this Senior Brother Lu was in a good mood, patted Sun Yi'an on the shoulder warmly, and spoke.
Although Sun Yi'an was a hundred unwilling in his heart, he still flattered this person on his lips. At this time, if it seems to outsiders, they must think that the relationship between these two people is so irreversible. The two of them talked incorrectly, and came to the place that Senior Brother Lu said.
"Senior Brother Sun, whose name is Lu Bensheng, serves as the deacon of the outer gate in the sect. I won't say much about polite words, this time I asked for Senior Brother Sun's head, indeed because Senior Brother Sun has something that is extremely important to the next, and I hope that Senior Brother Sun can cut his love and give it to him. As for the things in exchange, I have worked hard in the outer gate in the next few years, but I have also accumulated some net worth, as long as Senior Brother Sun needs it, just take it. This Senior Brother Lu said such a thing as soon as he opened his mouth.
After hearing this, Sun Yi'an was a little surprised in his heart, and faintly felt a little bad in his heart, but he still maintained an uncertain look on his face, and said: "Senior Brother Lu said that he laughed, in the lower district, there is nothing on his body that a foundation building period monk like Senior Brother Lu can use, Senior Brother Lu is not mistaken." ”
"Hehe~ Senior Brother Sun, don't be humble, I just accidentally saw the storage bag taken out by Senior Brother Sun at the trade fair, but it is a high-grade space magic weapon, and most of the monks in the foundation building period of this kind of space magic weapon are rare, so it can be seen that Senior Brother Sun's net worth is indeed very expensive.
"And the things that Senior Brother Sun took out for sale are all useful things for the monks in the foundation building period, and when Senior Brother Sun opened the storage bag to access the items, he faintly felt that there was a flash of spiritual light in the storage bag, and there were clearly high-level magic weapons stored in it, Senior Brother Sun felt that it was useless to say this?"
Sun Yi'an was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect this person to secretly observe himself so clearly, but he still said without changing his face: "This storage bag is indeed a gift from a senior master, but there are indeed no items such as magic weapons mentioned by Senior Brother Lu on the lower body. Senior Brother Lu must have seen it wrong. ”
Seeing Sun Yi'an's denial, this Senior Brother Lu said with a smile: "Hehe! Gifted by predecessors? The tricks of the junior brother were able to bluff those kids in the Qi refining period, but they couldn't hide it! The junior and the younger brother clearly did not even know the value of the things they were selling and what they were doing. If you're not mistaken, those items are the remnants of the original owner of this storage bag, right? If this storage bag is really owned by Senior Brother Sun himself, how can he not know what it contains? For the monk, the storage bag is second only to the existence of life, and all the net worth is stored in it, if it is not for the death of the original owner, how can this thing fall into the hands of Senior Brother Sun? Thinking about it, with the current cultivation of the junior brother, it is impossible to kill a foundation building period monk and snatch this thing, but since this storage bag has now appeared in the hands of Senior Brother Sun, the death of the original owner of this storage bag has something to do with Senior Brother Sun, right? ”
Sun Yi'an's face was blue and white, and his heart was shocked. He never expected that this person would deduce the truth of the matter with just a few clues. It seems that none of the people who can embark on the path of cultivation are easy people, and they must be more cautious in the future, otherwise one day if they are not careful, their lives will not belong to them!
"Huh! Senior Brother Lu is really good at laughing, and it is estimated that the exchange of fellow brothers in the lower part is over, and he will return to Beixiong Peak in the next place. Sun Yi'an tried his best to hide the horror in his heart, and with a dry laugh, he planned to slip away.
"Senior Brother Sun, slow down! Being able to get this thing is the chance of Senior Brother Sun, and there is no other meaning in the following! Seeing that Sun Yi'an was leaving, this Senior Brother Lu was in a hurry, and a dodge blocked in front of Sun Yi'an, and hurriedly spoke.
"Senior Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?" Sun Yi'an saw that the other party was blocking the way, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
"Hehe~ Senior Brother Sun doesn't have to be too nervous, he is a deacon of the outer gate, fighting with people all the year round, wandering between life and death, how can he lack the magic weapon on his body, so he is so anxious, it is better for Senior Brother Sun to take a look at the exchange things taken out in the next place, and it is not too late to make a decision, Senior Brother will never bully others and rob Senior Brother of his brother's things!" This Senior Brother Lu was afraid that Sun Yi'an would leave, so he took out a few things from the storage bag while explaining.
"Senior brother, let's see, although this bottle of Cultivation Pill has little effect on the foundation building stage cultivators, it is the best elixir for the cultivation of the Qi refining period cultivators, and it is suitable for the junior disciples to take it now. Look at this second-level fire attribute demon pill again, this is an excellent material for feeding spirit beasts and refining pills. There is also this thousand-bladed sword, which is the top-level superlative spiritual weapon, which has killed strong enemies many times and saved his life. And this ......"
Senior Brother Lu took out the many items in his storage bag one by one, and kept introducing them to Sun Yi'an, according to what he said, none of these items were not good things. Sun Yi'an's heart was also a little more settled at this time, and at the same time, he also understood that today's exchange that he was not very happy with could not be pushed away, so he simply listened quietly to this Senior Brother Lu's "counting treasures", which also opened his eyes.
After a full cup of tea, this Senior Brother Lu stopped the "counting treasures", stared at Sun Yi'an and said with a sincere face: "Senior Brother Sun, these things are the little belongings that Senior Brother I have accumulated so hard over the years, but if Senior Brother Sun can take a fancy to it, even if I take it, Senior Brother, I just want to be able to exchange it for an offensive magic weapon!" Besides, with Senior Brother Sun's current cultivation, even if he has the top-level magic weapon, he can't use it, so wouldn't it be better to replace some things that are useful to him and refine his cultivation and advance to the foundation building period as soon as possible? ”
Sun Yi'an hesitated for a while after hearing this, thinking that since he couldn't hide, he would knock on a good stroke and try to change as many things as possible, but he didn't believe that the person in front of him really only had such a thing.
He opened his mouth and sighed: "Hey~ Since Senior Brother Lu said so, Senior Brother I can't bear to brush off Senior Brother Lu's kindness, there is indeed a mid-level magic weapon in the lower storage bag, but the value of this middle-level magic weapon must be clear to Senior Brother Lu, if you just rely on these things in front of you......"
The weapons used by the monks are roughly divided into three categories: spiritual weapons, magic weapons, and magic weapons. As the name suggests, a spiritual weapon is a treasure that requires spiritual power to be activated, although it is far much stronger than the divine weapon in the secular world, but in the cultivation world, it is still the lowest level treasure, and it is generally only used by low-level cultivators in the Qi refining period.
As for the magic weapon, only the monk who has reached the foundation building period can fully urge it. Compared with spiritual weapons, magic weapons generally engrave amplified formations, and according to the different refining materials and portrayal formations, they can increase their power to a certain extent, making them sharper and more powerful.
As for the magic weapon, it is completely out of the category of mortal things, only when the monk reaches the Dan stage, can he use the Dan fire to cultivate in the body, the magic weapon accompanies the monk throughout his life, and will grow together with the advancement of the monk's cultivation, and the function is more unpredictable.
In addition, there are also some spiritual treasures and immortal weapons in the cultivation world, but those supreme treasures generally only exist in legends.
"What?! Intermediate magic weapons? Ok, good, good! That's great! As soon as he heard Sun Yi'an say that it was a middle-level magic weapon, Senior Brother Lu exclaimed, and said three good words in a row, and then his face was happy, and he said again: "Since it is a middle-level magic weapon, I am looking for the same senior brother to borrow some spirit stone treasures, and I will definitely not treat Senior Brother Sun badly, but the things below have been taken out and shown to my junior brother, I don't know if the middle-level magic weapon that my junior brother said, can I take it out and let my senior brother take a look?" ”
Sun Yi'an didn't say anything when he heard this, just smiled slightly, stroked the storage bag with one hand, and took out a golden Pu knife in his hand. Injected with some spiritual power, a few inches of golden light shot out from the blade, looking extremely sharp.
"It's really a mid-level spiritual weapon! Eh! I didn't expect Senior Brother Sun's spiritual power to be quite good, and he was able to slightly urge a mid-level spiritual weapon with his cultivation during the Qi refining period! Hurry up and show it to my brother! Seeing that Sun Yi'an really took out the middle-level spiritual weapon, Senior Brother Lu's face was overjoyed, and with a sigh of praise in his mouth, he was about to reach out and take the golden Pu knife.
But Sun Yi'an didn't give it to him directly, with a flash of light in his hand, he put it in the storage bag again, and looked at the person opposite with a smile.
"Ahem! Hehe~ It's eager, Senior Brother Sun, you see, there are still some spirit stones in the lower hand, there is a spirit beast ring here, and there are ......" Senior Brother Lu smiled embarrassedly when he saw Sun Yi'an's appearance, so he started to "count treasures" again......
After taking out seven or eight more things from the storage bag, Senior Brother Lu looked at Sun Yi'an with a look of pain and said, "Senior Brother Sun, I have already taken out all the exchangeable things on my body. Could it be that so many things are exchanged for a magic weapon for Senior Brother Sun, and Senior Brother Sun still feels that he can't afford to lose? In addition, you can give Senior Brother Sun a great benefit in the future. As long as Senior Brother Sun is willing to agree to the exchange, he will tell Senior Brother Sun about this immediately! ”
Sun Yi'an saw that it was almost over, and it was estimated that it would backfire no matter how hard he was, in case this person took the risk to kill him to seize the treasure, even if the sect pursued him afterwards, but he Sun Yi'an would never survive again.
So he opened his mouth and said: "Since Senior Brother Lu is so sincere, how can a junior brother be too ignorant. This knife belongs to Senior Brother Lu! As he spoke, he unhurriedly put away the treasures that Senior Brother Lu had taken out, then took out the golden Pu knife and threw it to Senior Brother Lu with a flick of his hand.
"Good, good! Senior Brother Sun's move is really wise! With these things, I believe that Senior Brother Sun will be able to cultivate to a big increase in a short period of time! Senior brother, I wish Senior Brother Sun a successful foundation as soon as possible! Senior Brother Lu admired the middle-level magic weapon that had just arrived, and at the same time praised Sun Yi'an with his wrong mouth.
"Cheng Senior Brother Lu's auspicious words, this knife is in the hands of Senior Brother Lu, and it can be regarded as the best use of things. It's just that what Senior Brother Lu said just now is of great benefit to Zaixia? Sun Yi'an asked.
