Chapter 107: Rapid Progress, Xuanling Tortoise Shell
In the spirit stone bag, there are sixty high-grade spirit stones.
Among them, twenty pills were the cost of a total of fifty Longevity Pills and Realm Breaking Pills for twenty-five people this time.
The other forty are purely a recognition of Chu Zheng's trust and the strength he has shown.
Knowing the future and personally proving the capabilities of this strategic ally, they did not hesitate to show their courage and determination at the end of their reign in the Guild.
The high-level members of the association did not stay in this courtyard for long, but simply bumped into each other and soon dispersed.
Some went straight back to Nuanyun Valley, one is to continue to organize the members of the association to work overtime and earn spirit stones, and the other is to select potential seedlings who are worthy of the association's assistance to fund their progress.
Others stayed in Qinglinfang, taking advantage of the convenience of this place to carefully understand the situation of those who had old friendships with Nuanyun Valley, so as to determine who was the most trustworthy and trustworthy.
At the same time, the descendants of the association such as Yu Peng will be fully funded by the association, and they will do everything possible to improve their cultivation in a month's time.
For example, Yu Peng, the last time they met, he was still practicing Qi at the fifth level, and this time when he saw him, he was already practicing Qi at the sixth level.
With a sweep of his keen divine sense, Meng Zhou knew that he had already taken the Life Extension Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill once during this time.
Originally, this kind of elixir that could only be used once, everyone would leave it until the middle stage of Qi training to break through to the late stage of Qi training, which was the biggest bottleneck level in the stage of Qi training.
But now, with the pill in Meng Zhou's hand, he directly used it to break through the fifth layer of Qi training to the sixth layer of Qi training.
Yu Peng's current aura is still a little vain, but Meng Zhou believes that in less than half a month, the mana in his body will be pushed to the peak of the sixth layer of qi training, and then, it will be used to precipitate and prepare in the next half a month.
A month later, at a young age, he was able to break through to the late stage of Qi cultivation and compete with his teacher.
Although, this practice of using a large number of pills to speed up the realm has many drawbacks.
But the biggest drawback is that the body's drug resistance has surged, making the effectiveness of the pill less and less.
And apart from those who are really gifted, for other cultivators, youth is the greatest asset.
This is also an important bargaining chip to ensure the status of Yu Peng and others in the association in the future, and the integration of master and apprentice is also an important measure to continue the influence of these people.
Meng Zhou thought about the various plans of the association that Chu Zheng had roughly revealed to him in the next month, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
……
The next day, April 30.
and letter building.
Meng Zhou was ushered into a room on the second floor by Zhang Wei, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
The auction process is now very familiar to everyone, and the first to appear is the third-order lot.
Meng Zhou, who often comes to the auction, has a clear feeling that the quantity and quality of third-order lots are slowly declining, and everyone's enthusiasm for bidding is gradually decreasing.
After all, looking at the entire Qingxuan Domain, there were not many forces that were qualified to participate in the competition for third-order lots.
This requires both sufficient financial resources and urgent needs.
Otherwise, spending a lot of spirit stones to shoot such valuables back and put them in the warehouse to make people worry, no matter how you think about it, it is not a wise choice.
With the previous six high-profile auctions, the demand for third-order lots has become less urgent.
"You're almost going to be squeezed dry, aren't you?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.
Soon, the few third-order lots had their own owners, and they began to rotate to the second-order lots.
The first second-order lot is a second-order spiritual object called "Soul Nourishing Water", which has the effect of healing soul wounds, and has aroused fierce competition among a group of Zhuji and even Fake Dan monks.
The second lot is a special seal that exudes an inexplicable majesty.
Held in the palm of the old man's hand, it looks like a lifelike tiger.
"The Mountain King Seal, the second-order best law seal.
This is made from a second-order high-grade demon tiger that has mastered the true meaning of the Mountain King, and uses a special method to refine it.
It can not only be turned into a seal to suppress strong enemies, but also can be unsealed to temporarily obtain a combat partner whose strength is comparable to that of the ninth layer of the foundation.
The starting price is 40 high-grade spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than one high-grade spirit stone. ”
At the first glance of seeing this seal, Meng Zhou's expression was much more focused.
But with the introduction of the old man, Meng Zhou's brows gradually furrowed.
Knowing that the old man had quoted a starting price, he completely lost interest in this object.
Inappropriateness is one thing, and another reason is naturally that there are not enough spirit stones, and I can't afford it!
According to his experience, the final transaction price of such a special second-order top-grade magic seal would never be less than one hundred high-grade spirit stones.
The final result was not what he expected, and it was sold at a high price of 107 high-grade spirit stones.
After that, Meng Zhou waited until the auction of the second-order top grades was over, and then he left Hexin Building with some disappointment, and did not continue to wait until the end of the auction.
Walking out of Hexin Building, just about to return to Zhang's small courtyard, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a strange mana fluctuation coming from the direction of Qinglin Peak behind him, and with a coercion at the level of divine souls, he suddenly turned his head and turned to look.
Meng Zhou suddenly found that the barrier of the mountain protection array had quietly faded away, and a cloud of spiritual energy quickly spread out among a mountain peak close to Qinglinfang.
There are many similarities with the foundation building vision, but neither the scale nor the momentum can be compared to when the Qi cultivators broke through the foundation building.
"Someone's Yudan!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Naturally, it was not only Meng Zhou who noticed this movement, but all the passers-by around him had stopped and looked up.
At this moment, just above that mountain peak, the rolling dark clouds rushed and gathered, and soon they were as thick as ink.
Gradually, thunderbolts and thunderbolts swam in the dark clouds like snakes.
Everyone also suddenly understood why Qinglin Peak's mountain protection array in this area suddenly opened.
Just as the Zhuji Dan and Xinlou will provide a safe place to build the foundation for free in the Hexin Lou auction, the monks who have the third-order knot pill in the Hexin Lou auction can choose to take it away or take it on the spot, and Qingxuanzong will provide them with a place to build a knot pill in Qinglin Peak for free.
In order to avoid leaking too much information about the mountain gate, Qingxuanzong deliberately used the area adjacent to Qinglinfang on the periphery of Qinglin Peak for this journey.
It had only been three months since the first auction held in Hexinlou at the end of January, and the preparation required to build the foundation and attack the knot was far more than that of practicing Qi to rush through the pass and build the foundation.
At this moment, someone finally began to attack the Jiedan, and Qingxuanzong naturally wanted to temporarily withdraw the mountain protection array in this area.
It not only avoids causing interference to the opponent's knot, but also avoids being implicated by the thunderstorm and damaging the large array.
At that moment, the cloudy vision shrank rapidly, and a small, faint glow flew out of the peak.
Against the pressure of the thunder above his head, he went against the trend, and soon disappeared into the thick dark clouds.
"Heavenly Thunder Refining True Pill!"
Many people couldn't help but exclaim, and many people showed admiration on their faces.
With the vision of that person's knot, the false pill is guaranteed to be achieved.
But he didn't stop there, and took the initiative to throw the newly formed Dan embryo into the dark clouds in the sky to face the test of heavenly thunder.
If it succeeds, it is gratifying, and from now on, there will be one more True Dan monk in the Qingxuan Domain.
But if he is defeated, he may not even be able to keep the chance of the fake pill, and he may even die on the spot, and his soul will be scattered.
This is a true seeker!
All the monks in the workshop who witnessed this scene were all thinking about it.
I don't know how long it took, just when people speculated that the Dan embryo might have been refined by the Heavenly Thunder, and the Dan Formation had already died and died.
A small, brilliant brilliance emerged from the dark clouds, streaked through the air in a trail of brilliance, and quickly sank into the mountain peaks below.
Even from a long distance, looking at the bright light, everyone has a burning feeling of staring directly at the noon sun.
Meng Zhou understood that it was really from the oppression of the divine soul level.
The power it naturally exudes is far greater than before it was baptized by the heavenly thunder.
That true pill just flickered in the air, but the scars left in people's hearts have not dissipated for a long time.
Until the mountain protection array was opened again, covering everything in Qinglin Peak, people's passion never retreated for a long time.
"I don't know which predecessor this is?
His disciples are now developed, one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven! ”
"Perhaps, this is a casual cultivator with no relatives and no friends?"
"Do you believe it? Not to mention that there is no one in the casual cultivation who has this potential, those third-order lots that have been auctioned for sky-high prices one by one, without the support of a single force, can one person make up so many spirit stones? ”
"Uh......"
"You say, what is the quality of that senior's Cheng Dan?"
"Inferior? Medium grade? Or is it top-grade? ”
"Maybe it's Jindan?"
"How can it be such an exaggeration?!"
“……”
Everyone was talking about it, speculating about the gossip of this newly promoted senior, but Meng Zhou had already returned to the Zhangjia courtyard and started to practice regularly.
For ten days in a row, Meng Zhou didn't even leave the gate of Zhang's small courtyard.
Occasionally, some miscellaneous needs are also handed over to Zhang Wei to solve on his behalf.
In addition to the Spring Water Sutra and the Soul Refining Method, all of his spare time was devoted to the cultivation of the three second-order low-grade spells.
On the second day of the fifth month, the metamorphosis was promoted from Xiaocheng to Dacheng.
In the sixth year of the first month, stealth was promoted from Xiaocheng to Dacheng.
On the eighth day of the first month, the flying escape technique was promoted from Dacheng to the master.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Meng Zhou was cultivating three spells at the same time in the small courtyard.
As a spirit snake with a power comparable to that of a second-order inferior grade flew out of Meng Zhou's palm, the Transfiguration Technique had quietly completed its final accumulation, advancing from Dacheng to the master level.
Meng Zhou felt that after this promotion, what improvements had been made in various mana transformation things.
Not only has the power increased, but the power of a full blow should be able to bring a strong threat to the monks of the third layer of the foundation, and a mortal threat to the monks of the first and second layers of the foundation.
This is only one aspect of the change, the mana transformation is more agile, and he is more flexible in command.
And the mana is more convergent, and the shapeshifting thing will exist for a longer time without encountering a strong fight.
"This promotion is far greater than the change from Xiaocheng to Dacheng."
Meng Zhou was immersed in the changes brought about by this continuous improvement.
At this moment, Meng Zhou once again felt a strange feeling coming from the distant sky.
His heart moved, and he soon left the small courtyard and came to the empty avenue.
Qinglin Peak's mountain protection array opened again, and it was still the same familiar peak, and there was a vision of the knot pill spreading out from it.
As the vision of foundation building below became more and more apparent, the sky became redder and redder, and finally, in the void where there was no place to rely on, a raging flame burned.
Even the people in the Fang City can feel the scorching heat.
By the time the flames burned to their fullest, the vision of Yudan in the mountains and forests below had quietly disappeared.
But the scene that people were looking forward to has not yet appeared.
The blazing heavenly fire in the sky also faded and disappeared little by little, until there was no trace of flame in the end.
Until the mountain protection array was closed again, there was no change in that peak.
Many people couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
In fact, this is the wiser and more common option.
Forming a fake pill and enjoying four or five hundred years of life, whether it is identity or strength, there is a huge improvement compared with the time when the foundation was built.
Moreover, the breakthrough process is safe and secure, and even if it fails, it can retreat to the peak of foundation building, and there is no need to face the test of life and death with a great probability of failure.
Once the False Pill is achieved, it is enough to ensure that a more powerful and long-lasting force comes out.
Whether it is for individuals or forces, this is a surefire business.
As for what is lost, it is just the continued progress on the Great Dao, which completely cuts off the possibility of attaining the Dao Yuanying.
But in this world, how many people can really attain the Tao Yuan Infant?
And once the decision to refine the True Pill of the Heavenly Tribulation is made, there is no such thing as being sure of nine out of ten.
Even the Qingxuan True Legend, which is recognized as the most talented monk in the Qingxuan Domain, also has a precedent of falling at this level and dying of his soul.
So......
"It's no wonder that the monks of the Jiedan Realm call each other real people.
Only by passing this hurdle can we seek the true seed of the Tao.
If you choose a more secure and safe fake pill due to life and death trade-offs, power tie-ins, or other factors.
No matter how strong the strength is, no matter how high the status is, it can't be a 'true' word. ”
Meng Zhou returned to the Zhangjia courtyard, ignored the disturbances of the outside world, and continued to practice quietly.
And just two days later, Meng Zhou, who was breathing in the meditation room, felt a strange aura from the sky again, and another monk was rushing to the pass to tie the Dan.
But Meng Zhou was completely unmoved, and along with those foundation-building visions, he was directly shielded by him, and immersed himself in his own cultivation.
……
May 13.
"Exercise: Second Order Spring Water Jing Xiaocheng 3995/4000"
Before preparing to start his cultivation, Meng Zhou made serious preparations.
Pranayama states to stabilize the mood.
It wasn't until he felt that his physical and mental state was in good condition, and then he slowly immersed his mental strength in the Great Zhou Tian transportation of mana.
After the mana containing vitality was transported in the body for five great weeks, all kinds of insights about the Spring Water Sutra were injected into the heart like flowing water.
Meng Zhou's comprehension of the Spring Water Sutra has reached a new level, and the vitality contained in the mana has become more intense.
"Second-order spring water through Dacheng 0/8000"
In the face of such progress, Meng Zhou's mood was like an ancient well without waves, and Dacheng's Spring Water Sutra mana was still running steadily in his body.
It wasn't until fifty days later that Meng Zhou felt the limit and stopped continuing his cultivation.
"The life limit is increased by fifteen years."
"This time I cultivated, my cultivation progress actually increased by a full 21 points."
"So, from now on, I can cultivate for fifty Great Zhou Heavens every day, and my cultivation progress will be +20 every day!"
"It's really not far from breaking through to the second floor of the foundation."

……
Although the cultivation level is still one level of foundation building, Meng Zhou's current mana is much more abundant than when he first entered the foundation building.
In addition, after the spring water is promoted to Dacheng, it can be slowly and automatically returned to qi anytime and anywhere.
Although compared to the huge amount of consumption he had to spend cultivating three second-order spells at the same time, this recovery was a drop in the bucket.
But he couldn't stand it, and it kept going, which gave him less time to regain air every day.
As a result of these factors, the daily experience of the three spells has increased significantly compared to before.
Stealth gain 150 experience, Transfiguration gain 220 experience, and Flying Escape experience 180.
In addition, the experience of the Spring Water Sutra increases by 50, and the experience of the Soul Pond Refining Moon Heart increases by 30.
……
May 15.
and letter building.
One room on the second floor.
Meng Zhou's attention was on the auction table, and a vermilion spirit fruit on the low table in front of him jumped up from the tray and flew into his mouth that happened to be open.
And inside his robe, he also wore a layer of close-fitting aura armor shield.
Just yesterday, he entered the door with both the Imperial Object Technique and the Armor Shield Technique, which were both second-order inferior grades.
He has natural abilities, and it seems that cultivating the Imperial Object Technique is a bit excessive.
Meng Zhou learned it with the intention of covering up for his innate ability, and he also wanted to see what the similarities and differences between the Imperial Technique and his innate ability were after he cultivated to perfection.
Needless to say, it's always good to have an extra layer of defense.
Moreover, these two spells have a very low level of mastery, and they are now at the entry level, even if they are noticed, they will not arouse suspicion.
However, the other three spells are different, the lowest level of stealth is already at the level of Dacheng, and the other two are all at the master level, so it is inconvenient to show them on such an occasion.
He did this purely so as not to waste his time in the Hexin Building.
How boring it is to be idle, how good it is to practice leveling.
He is ready to fight a protracted battle.
He didn't believe that he would never find something to his liking.
When Meng Zhou calmed down, he didn't expect to solve the problem this time.
Meng Zhou's eyes widened.
At this moment, on the auction table, the third-order lots and the second-order best lots have all been completed, and now it is the auction time for the second-order top grades.
The old man had a small tortoise shell in his hand.
There is a back and abdomen, except for the limbs and the head and tail of the gaps, the rest of the place is tightly stitched and intact tortoise shell.
It exudes a seamless water-based fluctuation.
However, there are strands of golden lines on the surface of the tortoiseshell, which slightly destroy its integrity.
"Xuanling tortoise shell, a second-order high-grade defensive magic weapon.
Its main material was taken from a quasi-third-order strength Xuanling Turtle, at that time, this turtle was impacting the level of the second to third order, and had successfully formed a demon pill, and was refining in the cloud layer to complete the final transformation.
This was the time when it was at its weakest, and the people of my sect who had been in ambush for a long time made a move, and their original intention was to seize the demon pill that had just been tempered.
But due to some mistakes, this turtle blew up the demon pill, not only did the demon pill not get it, but its flesh and blood essence also blew itself up with the demon pill.
In the end, only this turtle shell remained, but although it survived, most of its spiritual quality was lost, and its spiritual quality was only comparable to that of ordinary second-order high-grade spiritual materials.
But we always believe that the foundation is very good.
As we all know, the transformation of turtle monsters began with tortoise shells.
Since it had already formed a demon pill at that time, its tortoise shell must have begun to transform from the second order to the third order.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to survive such a self-detonation and still be in such good condition.
With such a good foundation, if you can use the mana of the water system to cultivate for a long time, you may not be able to raise a second-order superb defensive magic weapon! ”
Meng Zhou's eyes stared at the tortoise shell in the old man's hand without blinking, and as he spoke, his eyes became hotter and hotter.
As the old man finished his introduction, several voices came from the second and third floors.
"In that case, why didn't your sect hand over such a powerful magic weapon to your own disciples for cultivation?"
"What's the matter with those golden threads?"
“……”
One question after another smashed directly at the old man on the stage.
Because of the normalization of auctions, many of them are regular customers, and everyone's mentality has become more and more calm and peaceful.
Qingxuanzong now has a clear posture that as long as you have spirit stones, you won't be able to buy good things.
Now everyone will not be like at the beginning, when they see a good thing, they are afraid of missing it, like a pack of wild dogs grabbing food, which is a vicious one.
Everyone is gradually sobering up now, and the spirit stone in their hands is the most important.
No matter how good things are, as long as they exceed the preset price in their hearts, they won't buy them if they don't buy them.
As for bidding against each other and finally letting Hexinlou take advantage, this kind of thing has not happened since the first auction.
Sensei said that a second-order high-grade magic weapon is left to blow to the sky, it is a third-order lot, which exceeds psychological expectations, and will not be pursued.
And if there are any doubts or even doubts, everyone will also point them out directly.
Some irrelevant questions were directly filtered by the old man, but some questions involving the lots in his hand were answered seriously.
"The demon tortoise's self-explosion did not damage this shell, but it also caused some light cracks, which is also an important reason why its condition fell to the ordinary second-order upper grade.
These gold threads use a special type of aquatic spirit gold, whose spirituality is inherently compatible with this tortoiseshell spirit, which not only perfectly repairs its surface cracks, but also has the special effect of dispersing attack damage and improving defensive toughness. ”
But his explanation was exchanged for a meaningful "oh".
The old man on the stage curled his beard, took a few breaths, and finally said calmly:
"Xuanling tortoise shell, second-order high-grade defensive magic weapon, the starting price is ten high-grade spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than one high-grade spirit stone, let's start!"
After he shouted, no one spoke on the second floor of the Tsukiji Monk for a while.
The old man silently counted the time in his heart, as long as no one shouted the price when the time came, he would announce the auction.
Although the items that appeared on the auction table of Hexinlou were all treasures, it was not without unsuccessful auctions, and he was very open to this.
"Eleven!" A voice shouted.
Meng Zhou, who had been staring at the gavel in the old man's hand, and at the same time paying attention to the other people's moves, immediately shouted: "Fifteen! ”
According to his plan, if no one was bidding, he would buy it just before the old man announced that the auction would not be completed.
If someone shouts for the price, he doesn't climb up with the other party one by one, and directly beats his rhythm.
Sure enough, hearing his offer, the scene became quiet again.
After three breaths, although the old man had some regret in his heart, he still knocked down the gavel.
"Bang! Congratulations to the friends in room 224 for winning a Xuanling tortoise shell, and next, let's ......"
Meng Zhou didn't stay any longer, and walked straight out of the room.
Coming to the room where the magic weapon was handed over, a man who had cultivated in the early stage of foundation building entered the room with Zhang Wei.
Meng Zhou took the Xuanling tortoise shell presented by Zhang Wei's hands, probed it with his mana and divine sense, and after confirming that it was correct, he pointed out fifteen high-grade spirit stones and handed them to the other party.
What made Meng Zhou's heart strange was that the whole process was handed over between the monks in the early stage of foundation building and himself, and Zhang Wei did not say a word.
But before parting, he deliberately glanced at himself, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his eyes.
Meng Zhou wondered in his heart, "What does this mean?" Could it be that there is something wrong with this Xuanling tortoise shell? ”
But he had probed carefully just now, and everything was as the old man had introduced.
Even, for the sake of Qingxuanzong's reputation, Xu was a little more conservative in his introduction.
On the other hand, with his second-order instrument dao attainments, it can be seen that this is a new product that has just been refined, and he has not gone through any hands, and he is the first owner of this magic weapon.
After thinking about it, he didn't know what else could be wrong with this magic weapon.
……
Out of Hexin Building, Meng Zhou was about to go back to Zhang's small courtyard, when a voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Meng Daoyou is really extraordinary, he has just built a foundation, and he dares to consume so wantonly."
Meng Zhou stopped and turned his head to see that Xu Wanzhen had just walked out of the Hexin Building and walked beside him.
"Fairy." He smiled and nodded slightly.
Seeing that he didn't answer his question, Xu Wanzhen was not annoyed, nor did she dwell on this issue, but walked slowly with Meng Zhou, while asking:
"What is Meng Daoyou doing these days, why hasn't he been missing?
If I hadn't heard your voice just now, I would have thought you had left Qinglinfang. ”
Meng Zhou said: "Of course, it's a retreat and cultivation. ”
Xu Wanzhen turned her head to look at him, her eyes becoming more and more surprised.
Meng Zhou stroked his face in confusion: "What, where did I say something wrong?"
It's the cultivation method again, it's the soul refining method, and the Dao protection spell to practice, just entering the foundation, everything has to start from scratch, I don't think twelve hours a day is enough to spend, how can there be time to wander outside? ”
Xu Wanzhen said quietly:
"Meng Daoyou is really extraordinary, these days, every time the concubine cultivates, she has a lot of doubts.
Other Taoist friends, the situation is not much better than that of concubines.
We don't have any elders in the sect, so we can only meet every three or five days to discuss the Tao, hoping to solve one problem after another by relying on more people.
The effect can only be said to be so-so, and the concubine has wanted to invite Taoist friends to discuss the Tao together several times. ”
Meng Zhou's expression froze, he really didn't expect to be peeped at on this issue.
Because of the three mutilated spirit bodies, in terms of cultivation talent, there has been a qualitative gap between Meng Zhou and other newly promoted foundation builders.
When he was practicing Qi, exercises, martial arts, spells, and other various skills were all cultivated to perfection, and he saw a lot of "truth" because of this.
From the beginning of Qi training, I have already jumped out of the trap of other people's Fa, designed my own cultivation path, and built a general framework for my cultivation.
This allowed him to stand at a height that other scattered cultivation foundations could not imagine, looking at the same level, or even looking down, at that kind of method.
Every aspect, brought out alone, can make him go much smoother than Luo Ping, Qu Jing and others in the foundation building stage.
All together, many obstacles that make them feel insurmountable, with him, simply do not exist.
However, Meng Zhou would not waste his time on this kind of argument that was meaningless to him in order to hide this.
Even, if he really does this, the biggest possibility is to show more.
Because his true level has opened a qualitative gap with other newcomers of the same batch, and as each day passes, this gap will increase at a visible rate.
In the process of communicating with others, you have to cover up your true progress from time to time, just thinking about it, Meng Zhou knows that this is difficult, and once exposed, the previous efforts will be lost.
What's more, it doesn't make any sense to do that.
Therefore, Meng Zhou's expression changed slightly, and he returned to normal.
As a foundation monk, what if I'm a little secretive?
Xu Wanzhen saw that his expression was as usual, and with her emotional intelligence, she naturally would not continue to annoy people, but said:
"Meng Daoyou, the concubine has a question, can I ask for advice?"
Meng Zhou turned her head to look at her, her attitude was sincere, and even a little pleading.
"Just ask."
Meng Zhou thought about it and agreed.
"When the concubine was contemplating, she thought that she had achieved distracting thoughts, but when she really entered the country, she found that there were many distracting thoughts, and it was difficult to restrain them at all, why is this?"
"You're looking at it...... It's deliberate, and the more you want to do it, the more stubborn your thoughts become.
If you can really do it without thinking about it, then you are not a small foundation. ”
Xu Wanzhen's eyes flashed, and she nodded suddenly.
She asked for advice this time, originally just in the spirit of playing two shots with and without dates, and did not really expect this "Meng Daoyou" to seriously guide herself.
Unexpectedly, he not only pointed out, but also did not make any tricks at all, which made her understand at once.
She didn't know why the other party was so good at talking at this time, and she didn't need to know.
So what are you waiting for!
"......," she began, asking the next question.
These days, there are not too many doubts piled up in her heart.
The two asked and answered, and although they walked very slowly, the road finally came to an end.
"I've arrived." Meng Zhou stood in front of the alley leading to the Zhang family's courtyard and said to Xu Wanzhen.
"Huh?" Xu Wanzhen came to her senses, sighed lightly with some regret, and then saluted Meng Zhou with an unprecedented solemn attitude:
"Master Meng, thank you for solving my doubts!"
Meng Zhou nodded, turned around and entered the alley.
"Master Meng!" Xu Wanzhen suddenly shouted again.
"Huh?" Meng Zhou turned his head.
"Can I ask you for advice in the future?" Xu Wanzhen asked with a look of hope on her face.
She was full of anticipation, and Master Meng solved many doubts for her very casually today. Perhaps, for the other side, it doesn't matter about this, right?
"It's better not, I also have my own cultivation plan."
Meng Zhou replied lightly, turned around and left.
"Huh?!"
Xu Wanzhen stood in place, and after a while, she left with some disappointment.
……
Returning to the small courtyard of the Zhang family and entering the quiet room, Meng Zhou opened the spiritual land formation to avoid the spread of a strange aura.
He took out the Xuanling tortoise shell and first used mana to refine it.
The mana characteristics of the Spring Water Sutra are very consistent with the spiritual characteristics of this tortoise shell, and it can easily penetrate into the core of the magic weapon, leaving his own mana imprint and divine sense imprint.
From then on, this magic weapon belonged to him completely.
Meng Zhou's divine sense controlled this magic weapon to swim around his body a few times, and then recalled it back to his hand again.
Meng Zhou held the bottom abdomen of the Xuanling Tortoise Shell with one hand, and pressed the back of the Xuanling Tortoise Shell with one hand, carefully feeling its spiritual fluctuations, and through this spiritual fluctuation, he could perceive the life traces of the quasi-third-order Xuanling Tortoise.
The spring water is full of vitality through mana, and entering the inside of this tortoise shell is like entering the hometown, without the slightest obstacle.
On the other hand, by turning the eight medicine master spells into natural abilities, he obtained a crippled spirit talent, which gave him the ability to examine and explore the breath of life far beyond that of ordinary monks.
Gradually, Meng Zhou felt that he had touched it.
But just when he was about to "touch" it directly, a thin and tough metal layer blocked his front, making it impossible for him to directly "inquire" and communicate with the traces of life hidden deep in the Xuanling tortoiseshell.
With regret, Meng Zhou opened his eyes.
Looking at the golden silk threads on the surface of the Xuanling tortoiseshell, according to the auctioneer, this is a kind of aquatic spirit gold, and its spirituality is naturally compatible with the spirit of the tortoiseshell, which is used to repair some cracks caused by the Xuanling tortoise's self-explosion on the tortoiseshell.
Relying on his attainments in the instrument path, Meng Zhou knew from the first time he refined this magic weapon that this spiritual gold used a simple inlay process and did not involve smelting and fusion.
"It's easy."
Thinking in his heart, Meng Zhou's fingers stroked the golden thread and moved slowly.
Sweep across the entire dorsal part of the tortoiseshell, the underbelly, and finally, stay somewhere on the underbelly side.
"This is it."
Meng Zhou has found the starting point of the mosaic.
He sent a little mana to the place where he found it, and saw the golden thread slowly curling.
Meng Zhou pinched it with his fingers, and then gently pulled it, and soon, all the silk thread textures all over the surface of the tortoise shell were pulled off, turning into a thin golden thread in his hand.
Meng Zhou felt the pure spirituality flowing on the surface of this silk thread.
This is also a second-order high-grade precious spiritual material.
Meng Zhou coiled it into a roll and put it in the jade volute.
The Xuanling tortoise shell in his hand, with the extraction of the gold thread, revealed fine cracks all over the body, and the spirituality in it also became a little unstable.
Meng Zhou, who had completely cultivated it for himself, could clearly feel that the quality of this defensive magic weapon had decreased significantly at this moment.
It's almost about to fall from the level of the second-order upper grade.
Meng Zhou didn't care about this.
He didn't want to buy this magic weapon because of the fact that it was not a defensive magic weapon.
His hands were again attached to the back of the tortoiseshell and the underbelly.
Soon, he once again captured the traces of life hidden in it, because there was no metal diaphragm barrier, he easily came into contact with it, and began to skillfully "interrogate" and "inspect" it.
……
At night.
After Zhang Wei went home, he did not go back to his residence, but came to the small courtyard where Meng Zhou was retreating and knocked on the door gently.
After a long while, Meng Zhou opened the door and welcomed him in.
When Meng Zhou saw him coming to the door in person, he also said directly: "Today in Hexin Building, you seem to have something to say to me?" ”
Zhang Wei bowed: "Hmm." ”
"What does it have to do with that tortoise shell?" Meng Zhou asked again.
"Yes." Zhang Wei nodded again.
Meng Zhou's expression also became solemn, and he asked, "What's wrong with the Xuanling Tortoise Shell?" ”
Zhang Wei said: "There is nothing wrong with this magic weapon itself, I just remind my predecessors that if you travel to the Qingxuan Domain in the future, don't use this magic weapon in the Wumeng Sea." ”
"Huh?" Meng Zhou was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" ”
His thoughts raced, retrieving the little information about the Umeng Sea in his mind.
The Wumeng Sea is located in the southeast border of the Qingxuan Domain, with a sea area of nearly 20,000 li, and the sea area is full of first- and second-order evil veins, plus the third-order evil veins in the core area covering thousands of miles.
Among them, there are not only a large number of first- and second-order sea demon beasts, but it is also said that there are many third-order demons.
Then, some legendary anecdotes heard in the Xiangming House came to mind.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he blurted out: "This Xuanling Turtle hunts from the Wumeng Sea? ”
Zhang Wei bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
Meng Zhou was a little slandered in his heart, but he was also quietly relieved in his heart.
The situation was much better than he thought, and the artifact itself was fine.
There is a legend that Meng Zhou heard about in the problem.
In the circle of cultivators, there was no opponent within the Qingxuan Domain who could compete with the Qingxuan Sect.
But if the demon beasts are also included, then the third-order demon of Wumeng Sea, whether it is quantity or quality, can wrestle with Qingxuanzong.
It's just that the territorial concept of demon beasts is too strong.
Moreover, for them, the evil veins are the source of their power and even status, and it is absolutely intolerable if they leave their position and are occupied by other demon beasts and grow from it.
Therefore, as long as humans do not provoke them, they are willing to sleep on their own territory until they die.
And the third-order demon who condensed the demon pill had more spiritual wisdom, and he also understood the simple truth that only by holding together can he fight against human cultivators.
They have completely overcome their food chain instinct that is deeply rooted in their blood, and they regard all third-order demons as companions.
Therefore, if he was ignorant and ignorant to use this Xuanling tortoise shell within the scope of the Wumeng Sea, and those third-order demons perceived that the despicable human beings were strangling it at the critical moment when his companions condensed the demon pill, and refining their remains into magic weapons, then there was a high probability that he would not be able to get out of the Wumeng Sea alive.
Although, Meng Zhou never had the idea of going to Wumenghai to adventure, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future.
Therefore, he still seriously thanked Zhang Wei for the reminder.
In the end, Meng Zhou asked curiously: "How do you know that the magic weapon I photographed is taken from the Wumeng Sea?" ”
Meng Zhou didn't believe that every item auctioned by Hexinlou would tell Zhang Wei the specific ins and outs of these low-level employees.
And the Xuanling Turtle, a popular demon beast, exists in almost all evil veins, not only Wumenghai.
Zhang Weidao: "This is actually a trial mission for the new inner sect of the little girl, and the sect asked them to sneak into the Wumeng Sea Xuanling Turtle's Nest to steal turtle eggs.
This was also the negligence of the early exploration, and I originally thought it was just the nest of an ordinary second-order Xuanling turtle.
In addition to an ordinary second-order Xuanling turtle, there is also a quasi-third-order Xuanling turtle that is ready to attack the third-order demon.
At that time, the situation was also very thrilling, and several Dao Protectors hurriedly stopped the trial and killed the quasi-third-order Xuanling Turtle when it was at its weakest.
Even so, that operation came at a great cost. ”
Meng Zhou was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such a relationship.
He just sounded, when the shopkeeper of Ruyiju Chen introduced himself here, he said that Zhang Wei's eldest daughter already has the strength to enter the inner door, and she can be promoted to the inner door just by waiting for the assessment to come.
It seems that in the days when she lived in the Zhang family's courtyard, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family has become an inner disciple.
What's that girl's name...... Zhang Xiaoyi said that his sister's name was ...... Zhang Yun?
At this moment, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Have they taken the Xuanling turtle eggs from your daughter?" ”
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Before they had time to act, the mission was urgently canceled. ”
Meng Zhou was disappointed in his heart, but Zhang Wei's next words lifted his spirits again.
“…… However, those Dao Protectors ransacked the turtle's nest before killing the quasi-third-order Xuanling Turtle and running away urgently, and those turtle eggs were naturally no exception. ”
Meng Zhou hurriedly said: "So, Qingxuanzong has a batch of Xuanling turtle eggs in his hands?" ”
"Really?" Zhang Wei said with some uncertainties, what if the family divided it privately and didn't hand it over?
"Can I buy it?" Meng Zhou asked.
Zhang Wei reacted and looked at Meng Zhou: "Senior, do you want to buy Xuanling turtle eggs?" ”
Meng Zhou nodded.
Zhang Wei said: "That...... I'll ask the little girl to help you ask?"
Ask for a monthly pass for the last three days
