Chapter 496: Azure Marquis Mansion
Li Shuidao's heart moved, and he stepped forward to talk to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, do you have Star Soul Sand here?" He asked softly.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly, revealing a few yellow teeth: "The guest officer is really an expert." A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "We do have a batch of Star Soul Sand here, but it's not much. ”
Li Shuidao hurriedly asked, "How many?" ”
The shopkeeper held out five fingers: "Five dollars." ”
Li Shuidao was stunned, and he touched his nose a little embarrassed: "I want thirty catties." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, his face showed surprise: "Guest officer, thirty catties of Star Soul Sand is not a small amount, and we don't have so much stock in our store." ”
Li Shuidao was disappointed in his heart: "Does the store know that there is stock elsewhere?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head slightly, his face full of apologies: "This fellow Daoist, the amount you are asking for is too large, and the small store is not in stock, so it is difficult to meet your needs." ”
Li Shuidao sighed lightly, and his eyebrows showed a bit of loss. He looked at the shopkeeper and said in a slightly tired tone: "In that case, then thank you to the shopkeeper." ”
"Friends and slow, there may be a place." The shopkeeper said suddenly.
A hint of joy flashed in Li Shuidao's eyes: "Please also ask the store to teach." ”
"Zixiao Peak Azure Marquis Mansion, Azure Marquis is a great cultivator of the Yunmang Sword Sect, and his cultivation is unfathomable. He likes to make friends with the heroes of the world, and as long as he can get into his eyes, he can exchange various treasures with him. ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Li Shuidao's eyes: "There is a void mirror in Tianqinghou's body?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head slightly: "I don't know much about this, but Master Hou is famous, and his cultivation must have reached the realm of acceptance." ”
"If I don't know where I came from, he would be willing to make friends?" Li Shuidao asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Tianqinghou doesn't ask about the origin of making friends, he only cares about whether he can get into his eyes." His eyes are extremely sharp, and he can see through the essence of the human heart. However, it will not be easy to pass his test. ”
A trace of curiosity flashed in Li Shuidao's eyes: "How can I be counted in his eyes?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously: "That's hard to say, Xiao Lao'er is just hearsay, I know that there is such an extraordinary person, it is rumored that some people can't pass the extremely high cultivation, and some people are only first-order cultivation but can easily pass the level." It all depends on the test of the Azure Marquis. ”
Li Shuidao nodded: "It's interesting." ”
Walking out of Zixiao Fengfang City for about 20 miles, you can see a mountain stream, and across the mountain stream is the Tianqing Marquis Mansion.
Li Shuidao walked along the winding mountain road, and soon came to the end of the mountain road, and soon found the mountain stream.
A man was scratching his ears and cheeks by a mountain stream, as if thinking about how to get by.
Li Shuidao was curious, and stepped forward and asked, "This fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?" ”
The man looked up and showed a sad expression: "Alas, I heard that as long as you pass the test of the Azure Mansion, you can exchange treasures from the Lord of the Mansion, but unfortunately I can't pass the first level." ”
Li Shuidao looked at the mountain stream, the mountain stream was bottomless, about fifty meters wide, and the water was turbulent, this level was easy for a second-order monk, but for a first-order monk or a mortal, it was a heavenly moat.
This Tianqing Hou is good at arranging it single-handedly, and at least a second-order monk can pass the first level.
"I'll send you there." Li Shuidao grabbed the man beside him, jumped up suddenly, and flew towards the mountain stream.
The man only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the flowers in front of him appeared, and the next moment the two of them had landed on the other side.
"This ......" The man was a little dumbfounded, he looked at Li Shuidao, his eyes were full of envy and awe.
"It turns out that the predecessor turned out to be a second-order monk, the little Wang Ming, please accept my worship." The man hurriedly bowed his hand.
"Let's just be commensurate with Taoist friends, you don't need to be so polite." Li Shuidao said with a smile, and then set his eyes on the stone gate of the Qinghou Mansion that day.
The stone gate is tall and majestic, tightly closed, giving people a heavy feeling. Next to the stone gate stands a stone stele, which is engraved with five big characters: "Breaking the door is not a friend".
Wang Ming looked at the stele and asked with a puzzled expression, "What does this mean?" ”
"It means that if you break the door with a knife, then you must not be a friend." Li Shuidao said lightly.
"Since we can't break in, let's knock on the door and try." Wang Ming said smartly.
Li Shuidao didn't have that time, so he grabbed his hand and said, "This level is a test of the formation. You look at the lines on this door, they are arranged in some kind of formation, we need to find the eye of the formation, we can open it without destroying the stone door. ”
With that, Li Shuidao stretched out his finger and lightly tapped it on the stone door. His fingers seemed to carry some kind of power, and at the touch of a button, the stone door rumbled open on its own.
"This ......" Wang Ming's eyes widened, he didn't expect Li Shuidao to crack this level so easily.
The stone gate suddenly opened, and a deep stone path stretched out, and the torches on both sides of the stone wall swayed, illuminating the stone road.
Li Shuidao and his companions stepped into the stone path and walked along the stairs, and soon came across a huge red crystal coral tree, which was crystal clear like a burning flame.
Next to the coral, a fair-faced boy sat quietly cross-legged.
When the boy heard this, he got up, bowed, and said in a pleasant voice, "Hello, two fellow Daoists. This is the test level of Hou Ye, this level is a treasure, if you are not a person who does not learn and have no skills, it is difficult to pass this level. ”
Li Shuidao smiled slightly, stepped forward, and carefully examined the red coral tree. After thinking for a moment, he said: "This thing is called 'Yinghai Hong', and it is a natural treasure in the depths of the South China Sea. After thousands of years of precipitation, it has absorbed the essence of the sea and formed such a beautiful appearance. It absorbed the spiritual energy in the sea, and it could be used to refine the alchemy weapon, and it was a second-order spiritual material. However, this one is a bit amazing, and in terms of its value, it is not inferior to a third-order material. ”
After hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in the boy's eyes, and he hugged his fists and said: "This Taoist friend is really discerning. In the last level, Daoyou only needs to take out a treasure comparable to this 'Yinghai Hong', and you can pass this level and see Hou Ye. ”
Hearing this, Li Shuidao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the reason.
The so-called test is just that Tianqinghou wants to pick up the leak in the hands of low-level monks, and the stone door is estimated to be open if you knock on the door.
Why not change the name to Azure Pawnshop, save so much trouble.
Li Shuidao was sarcastic, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that your Hou Ye's test is not aimed at people. ”
In the face of Li Shuidao's ridicule, a trace of displeasure flashed in the boy's eyes, and he said with a serious face: "Lord Hou's test has its own profound meaning, if the Taoist friend is shabby, please leave by yourself." ”
"Treasure, I have it!" Wang Mingzhi said bravely, he took out a wooden box from his waist pocket, the wooden box was ordinary, the wood was old, and there was no trace of strangeness.
The point is, this person doesn't even have a storage bag.
It's so shabby!
Seeing this, the boy couldn't help frowning slightly, and his impression of Wang Ming in his heart was greatly reduced.
Wang Ming opened the wooden box in his hand, revealing a strangely shaped mushroom, which was not good-looking, but had a strange color.
"Ghost Face Mushroom?" The boy on the side looked at it for a moment, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "This is a second-order medicinal material, and its value is really limited. It seems that you didn't have the opportunity to meet Master Hou today, so please go back. ”
When Wang Ming heard this, his face looked anxious.
"How many spirit stones are you going to sell this ghost face mushroom?" Li Shuidao said suddenly.
Wang Ming sighed lightly, "I came out of this treasure just to see the Hou Ye and treat me." ”
Li Shuidao frowned slightly, "Healing? What disease? ”
Wang Ming took off his coat without hesitation, revealing a strange skin, his skin actually had ghost lines, weird and inexplicable.
"This is ......" The boy was shocked when he saw this, he seemed to have seen this kind of ghost pattern in the book, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Tut-tut...... You're so good, you can even talk about it. Li Shuidao had obviously seen the doorway, and there was a bit of excitement in his eyes.
"I see! What you have is corpse poison, this is not a ghost face mushroom at all, this is a coffin mushroom, which you picked from the mouth of the thousand-year-old corpse king with your mouth. The boy said with a look of astonishment.
Wang Ming's face was bitter, a few months ago, he met a beautiful lady in a quiet place in the wilderness.
The lady's beautiful eyes were full of spring, and her smile was like a flower, which made Wang Ming's heart move.
The two couldn't help themselves, and the spring breeze was for a while.
However, after the joy, the lady suddenly turned into a female corpse, which shocked Wang Ming's soul.
The female corpse spat out something from her mouth and left disappointed.
Wang Ming picked it up tremblingly, only feeling that this thing was cold and piercing, but he also noticed that it exuded a mysterious aura. He faintly felt in his heart that this thing was extraordinary, it must be a heavy treasure, he couldn't trust others, he only hoped to use this thing to ask the Hou Ye to cure him.
"What the boy said is true, this thing is what I sucked from the mouth of a thousand-year-old corpse." Wang Ming said with tears in his eyes: "As long as Hou Ye can cure my illness, this coffin fungus is Hou Ye's." ”
A flash of joy flashed in the boy's eyes, and there were ordinary people who sent treasures, if this matter is successful, the Hou Ye will definitely be rewarded.
Unexpectedly, Li Shuidao stepped in front of the two of them, with an orange flame burning on one palm and a dark green flame burning on the other.
Alien Fire: Medicine Man's Spiritual Fire.
Strange Fire: Djinn Poison Fire.
Two flames jumped between his fingers, as if they had come to life. He quickly massaged Wang Ming's body with both hands, and the orange and green flames flickered alternately, with an indescribable rhythm.
With Li Shuidao's flick, the corpse poison on Wang Ming's skin quickly subsided as if ice and snow were melting. Every touch is warm, like a spring breeze. The original disgusting corpse poison turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated into the air under the illumination of the strange fire.
"You're all right." Li Shuidao said softly, with a hint of relief in his tone. He gently tucked the wooden box into his waist, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "This coffin fungus belongs to me, this is the honorarium." (End of chapter)
