Duobao Building, located on Jade Island in Jade Lake, where the former owner used to buy water recipes.

In the Treasure Pavilion of the Warm Cloud Valley Market, Meng Zhou had just bought a first-order mid-grade talisman pen there not long ago.

They have similar names and a high degree of similarity in their business scope.

In addition to being expensive, there are basically no other disadvantages of the things sold.

Every monk who entered, except for the cost of the spirit stone, basically couldn't find anything else.

In addition, the existence of these two shops has another more important significance.

When he decided to leave Jade Lake and find a first-order spiritual vein to practice safely, Meng Zhou, who was planning for the worst, thought of some possibilities.

Due to the quality of the spiritual energy, the first-order spiritual vein can only be used for the cultivation of monks in the Qi cultivation period, and it cannot retain the powerful monks above the foundation building.

At first glance, it seems that the Qi cultivator will be more comfortable here than in the second- and third-order spiritual veins, and the so-called tiger monkey in the mountains is called the king.

But if you think about it, you can come to the exact opposite conclusion.

The so-called persimmon picks up soft pinching, only Qi cultivators gather together, and there is not even a place to build a foundation and defend it, isn't it better to bully?

For those cultivators who are engaged in killing people and stealing goods, how can a first-order spiritual vein cultivator who lacks a strong monk deal with a group to loot this kind of place from time to time?

Or like the Mo family of Cuiyu Lake, a force that has a foundation or even a fake Dan powerhouse, they treat the first-order spiritual vein as a leek field, and come over from time to time to harvest a stubble.

There is no need for the family to come forward, only a few young children are short of money, and they want to go to a certain first-order spiritual vein to make a small fortune, just this one heart-to-heart thought is enough to set off a huge wave in the "ecologically fragile" first-order spiritual vein.

Or maybe a shameless foundation building monk comes to fight the autumn wind, everyone must pay a filial piety, is there any other Qi cultivator who dares to stiffen his neck?

If all this was really as he thought, then the first-order spiritual vein was not his favorite cultivation place, but how far he had to hide.

Fortunately, through the excavation of the memories of the former master and some of the insights he gained in the White Moon Bay Teahouse, he basically eliminated this layer of worry.

First of all, the general environment, many spiritual veins, including Jade Lake and Warm Cloud Valley, are located in the hinterland of the Qingxuan Domain.

Before the Star Palace was out of place and the Qingxuan Sect ascended the throne, many spiritual veins and spiritual lands had indeed had a period of extreme chaos and disorder.

But with the successful ascension of Qingxuanzong, the name of Qingxuanyu spread everywhere, and the spiritual veins everywhere quickly became honest.

Not to mention that no one dares to do something that cannot be concealed at all, even if it is done in the same spiritual vein, it has become a regular thing, even if the undercurrent has never stopped, it is necessary to strive to maintain the calm on the surface.

It was precisely because everyone was so interested that the grass-created Qingxuan Sect temporarily acquiesced to the situation of "autonomy" everywhere, and devoted almost all of its energy to the development of the third-order spiritual veins and the cultivation of internal strength.

At this time, if there are some ignorant children who want to mess around with a strong backing background.

Before they officially launched their actions and attracted the attention of Qingxuanzong, they would first be ruthlessly destroyed by the backing they relied on.

Anyone who has a little sense of the overall situation knows that Qingxuanzong, who has been practicing internal skills for 80 years, is looking forward to the emergence of some opportunities.

On the other hand, although the Qingxuan Sect spent most of its energy on itself, it acquiesced to the existing pattern in various parts of the Qingxuan Domain.

However, the blow to those who are active in the Qingxuan Domain has never been soft, and this is even an important way for the Qingxuan Sect to train its disciples, and the task of clearing and destroying the robbery has been on the task list all year round.

Jade Lake and Warm Cloud Valley are both located in the hinterland of the Qingxuan Domain, and the large-scale robbery and repair organization was swept away many years ago.

The rest of the fish that slipped through the net, or the monks who fell black and embarked on the road of robbery and cultivation for some reason, neither have the strength, nor the courage to make big news.

Now, there are still large-scale looting activities in the border areas bordering the Qingxuan Domain and other domains.

In addition, there are two legendary shops full of mist in Duobaolou and Treasure Pavilion, according to what Meng Zhou heard in the Baiyuewan Teahouse, wherever there is a need for trading, they are there.

And wherever they have a foothold, they can ensure that the basic trading order is not disrupted.

Those who want to undermine this will be rewarded promptly and tragically.

Therefore, wherever there are many treasure buildings or treasure pavilions, there is a basic commercial order.

It is said that there is also the credit of Qingxuanzong in this, because the time when they appeared in various parts of the Qingxuan Domain occurred after Qingxuanzong ascended to the throne.

It was precisely because of knowing these and dispelling the doubts in his heart that Meng Zhou chose to settle in Nuanyun Valley.

……

Before entering the Treasure Pavilion, Meng Zhou made adjustments to his image and aura.

Because he had only come here not long ago to buy a talisman pen, people still had an impression of him, which inevitably led to unnecessary conjecture, so he used a new image.

After entering the store, there was no beautiful and graceful welcome waiter, only a middle-aged shopkeeper with eight layers of qi training greeted him with a smile.

In the final analysis, the volume of Warm Cloud Valley is so large, even if the Treasure Pavilion family has a big business and blossoms everywhere, it is specific to each place, and it is still necessary to make a profit as the first purpose.

"I want a high-grade magic sword." Meng Zhou didn't say too much to the other party, and directly explained his intentions.

Meng Zhou was ushered into a room with a quiet environment.

Soon after he sat down, a maid walked in with a tray, placed a pot of spiritual tea and several delicate snacks on the low table, and the maid bowed to him and left the room lightly.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked in with five long wooden boxes.

He placed five long wooden boxes side by side in front of Meng Zhou, opened them one by one, and the brilliant light almost dazzled Meng Zhou's eyes.

It's not so much five swords as five beautiful works of art.

Meng Zhou squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and the shopkeeper introduced them one by one.

He first pointed to a long sword made of crystal, pale green in color, lying in a wooden box like a stream of water.

"This sword is called Cold Spring, in addition to meeting the requirements of the high-grade magic sword, it also has the effect of extreme cold, which can unconsciously delay the opponent's perception and action."

Then, he pointed to a red sword next to him, lying in a wooden box, like a flame that was about to burn at any moment.

"This sword is called Yanyang, and in addition to meeting the requirements of the top-grade magic sword, it also has a strong burning effect.

Each attack carries a strong flame poison, and with the right martial arts, it is easy to swing a long whip of the chain of fire. ”

Then, he picked up a long sword that radiated a bright golden yellow and introduced it.

He said something, but Meng Zhou had completely blocked it.

complained in his heart, from the refiner to the user, they were all using the thinking of "weakened version of the magic weapon" to create a magic sword.

The monks use magic swords, and in their minds, they are probably also using magic swords with the thinking of "magic weapons that can be driven by martial arts".

But if Meng Zhoulai wants to evaluate, it is "fancy waste".

Let him fight with this magic sword, he will even feel a sense of shame.

Of course, there is an important reason why the other party has made the magic sword so fancy and spent so much energy to make so many subsidiary attributes, that is, such a magic sword is more expensive and more expensive.

He interrupted the other party's introduction and said, "I want a magic sword with high-grade quality and no collateral characteristics." ”

The shopkeeper who was talking about the words of the card was introduced, and he opened his mouth and looked at Meng Zhou, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Meng Zhou reminded softly: "It only needs to be hard and sharp enough, don't give me all those useless ones." ”

The shopkeeper smashed his mouth, and it seemed that he finally understood what Meng Zhou meant.

After thinking about it, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if that's the case, my pavilion doesn't have a magic sword that meets your needs for the time being." ”

Meng Zhou was disappointed in his heart, "That's it." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he wanted to get up and look elsewhere, and this was not the only one that sold magic swords.

The reason why the Treasure Pavilion was the first choice was that the shadow left by the previous master was too large, so he took the Duobao Building and the Treasure Pavilion as the first choice when buying valuables.

At this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly spoke again: "However, there is a superb magic sword in my pavilion that is very suitable for your needs. ”

"Huh? …… Show me! Meng Zhou hurriedly said.

After a while, the shopkeeper put another long wooden box in front of Meng Zhou.

When the lid of the box was opened, a plain-looking black sword appeared.

Meng Zhou asked, "Can you get started?"

"Of course."

Meng Zhou stretched out his hand to hold the sword, and a faint and cool feeling passed into the palm of his hand, the grip was very good, and the weight was just right.

Moreover, the center of gravity of the entire long sword is also distributed just right.

You don't need to use much force, just swing it lightly, and the power can be naturally transmitted to the blade.

A powerful warrior has a peculiar ability, that is, he can distinguish the good and bad of a weapon by simple contact.

To put it mildly, it is called "listening to soldiers" and "listening to swords", this kind of ability, Meng Zhou is also good at it, just by lightly putting his hand, he basically confirmed the basic performance of this long sword.

It didn't take much more to love the longsword.

Instead, he put it back into the box and asked, "What's its name?" ”

"Uh......" The shopkeeper hesitated, and then said with some embarrassment: "Xiao Hei." ”

"Blackie?" Meng Zhou repeated in surprise.

"This is what the refiner desperately demands." The shopkeeper said perfunctorily, and quickly asked, "How is it, is this sword still agreeable?" ”

Meng Zhou said: "How much?" ”

"Twenty medium-grade spirit stones." The way of the shopkeeper.

Meng Zhou glared and said, "Are you sincere?" I want to have so many spirit stones, isn't it fragrant to buy a high-grade magic weapon? I still use magic swords? Just tell me the honest price! ”

The shopkeeper said: "But its materials, its texture, are indeed the best quality!" ”

Meng Zhou suddenly said: "This is a work that has failed to be refined, right?" ”

According to the urine properties of those five top-grade magic swords, Meng Zhou boldly guessed that this top-grade magic sword should be more fancy and have more ancillary attributes in the refiner's expectations.

The reason why it has become like this is that it is too difficult to refine the best, and those subsidiary attributes have not been added.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the refiner gave it a somewhat "shameful" name, Xiao Hei.

Although this is exactly what Meng Zhou meant, it does not prevent the fact that it is a "failed work" in people's minds.

The shopkeeper was stopped by his words for a few breaths before saying, "Isn't this exactly what you need?" ”

Meng Zhou sneered: "That's because I want to spend less!" ”

The shopkeeper said helplessly: "Then how much do you think is appropriate?" ”

"Eight medium-grade spirit stones." Meng Zhoudao.

The shopkeeper categorically refused, "Impossible, this little spirit stone is not enough to pay for materials!" ”

"You failed to refine, and you still have to pay for the customer?" Meng Zhou sneered at each other.

"But after all, he is the best quality ......"

The two sides went back and forth, arguing with each other, and in the end, the price of ten medium-grade spirit stones, that is, a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, was sold.

However, as a price for taking a big step back, Meng Zhou also forced out a gift, Imperial Sword Technique.

The shopkeeper muttered, "What kind of sword technique does the magic sword use?" ”

"I use the magic sword now, so I am not allowed to use the flying sword in the future?"

The shopkeeper had nothing to say, and while handing Xiao Hei and a cultivation manual of imperial swordsmanship to Meng Zhou, he muttered:

"Do you like to force giveaways when you buy things now?"

Meng Zhou responded in his heart, I'm sorry, that's me.

Out of the Treasure Pavilion, Meng Zhou found Wu Tong.

He still used the image in the Treasure Pavilion, and he was naturally very eye-catching here in Wu Tong, and he looked at Meng Zhou in surprise and wariness.

Meng Zhou didn't talk nonsense, took out all the four hundred and sixty lower-grade spirit stones, put them on the table between the two, and said lightly:

"Because the amount is too large, I will trade with you in the future."

Wu Tong looked at the table full of spirit stones, his eyes were straight, and his vigilance was directly dissipated.

And the meaning revealed in the other party's words also made him think a lot.

I even guessed in my heart that such a large number of foodies from myself was not an individual, but the behavior of a certain organization?

He no longer hesitated and said, "It's too much, I need some time." ”

"How long?"

"An hour...... No, no, half an hour! ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you for half an hour."

Half an hour later, Wu Tong came to Meng Zhou again out of breath, put a heavy package in front of him, and said:

"I've made it up for you, a total of 2,100 copies, you order!"

Meng Zhou clicked about a moment and put the package into the storage bag.

After that, there was nothing else to do, and Meng Zhou went straight out of the bazaar and set out on the way home.

The reason why he wanted to buy so many runes was because Meng Zhou had a hunch that with Chu Zheng's activities, it was possible to make waves in the professional circle, and eventually affect all aspects of Warm Cloud Valley.

In order not to affect his cultivation plan, it is also considered to be prepared to buy more runic materials in advance.

Moreover, in the future, whether it is through Wang Wei to produce talismans or through Wu Tong to buy talismans, he will use this new identity to strip away from the identity of "Zhou Yaoshi".
