On the bed carved from a piece of golden silk nan, the young man sat cross-legged, staring at the thin chain suspended in the palm of his hand.

In the few days after Zhang Lao and Xiao Xuannu left, he stayed in this courtyard of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, and every day in addition to practicing qi gathering, he was looking at the chain in a daze. In the eyes of outsiders, the boy was a little depressed because of the departure of Zhang Lao and Xiao Xuannu.

Although Shizen and Zonggui had come a few times and wanted to invite him to visit Beihai City together, the young man didn't seem to have any interest in it. After several attempts, Shizen and the others could only let the young man stay in the courtyard and do his own thing.

After his mother, father, and grandfather, the boy once again had to leave the people close to him. And when thinking of Zhang Lao's current situation, the young man felt that it was difficult to calm down. A powerful figure like Zhang Lao couldn't predict the outcome of this journey, this world is too big!

The boy is not depressed at the moment, but more eager than ever to get strength, only when he is strong can he firmly grasp his fate in his own hands, and can he protect those he wants to protect!

The thin iron chain suspended in the palm of his hand was transformed from a piece of rune paper that he directly burned the "Binding Array" with five rounds of karmic fire. This level of Huang Jiemu is the first formation that Zhang Lao taught him.

Thinking of the excitement he had when he first came into contact with the rune array, the young man's tense face couldn't help but show a smile.

Although this rune array belonged to the most basic and lowest-level kind, the boy remembered the time when he was in the desert oasis. Elder Zhang once told him that the "Tight Binding Array" is a type of formation change, which will change with the formation medium, the strength of the formation eye, and the comprehension of the Fu Array Master himself.

The young man knew in his heart that the words that Elder Zhang said to him in the Giant's Rib Tavern before he left were referring to this introductory formation. That meant that the boy started from the basics and pondered the changes in the formation runes repeatedly. There must be some mysteries of transformation in this, and it takes clarity of insight to understand it.

The "Tight Bondage Array" teenager used it the most and was the most familiar with it. I remember when I was entangled with the fire rat swarm in the desert, when I escaped from the hands of the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King and the Demon Scorpion Old Man, and in the battle with Tong Di, this tight binding array played an unexpected role at a critical moment.

And the changes in the Tight Binding Array have also been studied, for example. Depending on the number of runes used to form the formation, the thickness and material of the chain will vary. And when it came to stopping Tong Xuan from destroying the Eastern Heavenly Pillar of the Concubine King City. The boy had tried to form the chains into the shape of a serpent as he wished.

However, these attempts did not essentially depart from the form and function of the chain, in other words, no matter how much the formation changed, it did not go beyond the scope of trapping, and was ultimately used to limit the opponent's movements.

"What can this tightening array become?" said the young man. Flick your fingers. The thin chain shook a little.

Originally, it would have required at least three runes to set up the simplest of bindings. After igniting and blending into the air, the person who arranges the formation needs to form a sword in the formation to refer to the word "binding" before it can be formed. After observing and trying, the boy found that burning runes directly with karmic fire can also form chains. It's just that there is only one chain, and it's pitifully thin.

"Could it be because I can't use my vitality? I don't know what such a small chain can be used for?" the boy muttered helplessly, as he realized that the formless chains were just floating there, and were not under his control!

"I don't know what happened to the old man?" the young man suddenly remembered the old man Scorpion. In the past few days, he has also asked Tianjiu to send people to the Black Street and the Giant's Rib Tavern to look for him, but there is no trace of the old man of the demon scorpion.

Although Zhilu said that this person was insidious and cunning, ruthless, and would not have anything happen easily, but he had not been in touch for so long, which made the young man a little worried. When he was in the Imperial Palace, the young man once instructed the old man of the demon scorpion to inquire about Mu Shanshan and Gong Qing'er according to the method explained by Gong Weihang.

Didn't there be an accident?

In this way, half a month has passed, the autumn mood is getting stronger, and the leaves on the big trees in the courtyard are becoming more and more colorful. As the auction approaches, Beihai City is becoming more and more lively, many inns and hotels are overcrowded, and even the firewood room is occupied.

During this period, Yu Jiu came over and led Xiaobai back to the Concubine King City, preparing to wait there for the princess to complete the inheritance. Xiaobai was naturally reluctant to give up on the young man, but the young man considered Xiaobai's safety after he left, and decided to let him stay in the ancient city of Yuwang to recuperate. Only by eliminating this worry can he concentrate on finding the legendary magic sword.

And Tong Xuan also brought the people of Turtle Island once. Because he received the news from the Turtle Island, and another clansman was attacked by the Sea Clan, Tong Xuan, who could not accompany the boy to the Beast Domain, planned to take Wu Gang and Hu Yidong and other Turtle Island elites back to the island first to prevent changes.

Before leaving, he left the boy with five protective palm mines and a chart showing the location of Turtle Island. In accordance with Xuanwu's wishes, the young man promised everyone that once the matter of the magic sword was over, if he could survive, he would immediately rush to Turtle Island and try his best to help him solve his difficulties!

Shi Chan and Zong Ghost were very busy during this time, Shi Chan wanted to take care of the auction for his father, and Zong Ghost's family spent a lot of effort to bring a lot of newly made weapons this time, and he was naturally called over to help.

The boy was happy to be idle, and there was no progress in the research of chains, so he could only put this aside in advance. As the saying goes, there is no pause, there is a late illness, and the realization of this matter is not urgent, and it takes some time to precipitate and accumulate.

He was studying a silk book in the garden of the annex, a list of auctions that Shi Chan had taken out of his busy schedule. The young man rubbed the eye-shaped pendant around his neck, and his dark eyes swept through the list, and at once he found several things that interested him.

Especially the boiled red fruit from the Southern Continent, this elixir used to nourish the Yuan Shen and seal the Yuan Shen is a necessary item, he is determined to obtain. Because as Elder Zhang often said, the most important thing now is to seal the Yuan Shen in the young man's body first and restore the cultivation of his Yuan Qi.

In the lot of elixirs, the young man also found several main medicines for refining the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill. These elixirs are very cherished, and they are all found by merchants from different countries from all over the world for a lot of money, and they are ready to make a lot of money in this auction.

And in the lot of alien beasts, the young man actually saw the spirit crystal of a seventh-level demon beast and the fossil of an ancient demon beast. Since eating the spirit crystals and essence blood of the Snake and the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King, the flesh and blood of some low-level alien beasts could not play a great role in the young man at all.

For example, the flesh crystal of the seventh-level poultry spirit beast that he bought at the auction of the Bimonthly Inn, after eating it, the young man found that his body did not feel any discomfort, and there was no change, at best, it just made his body more agile.

Therefore, as a person with the physique of an alien beast, what he urgently needs most now is the flesh and blood of the high-level alien beast that can make him break through. Although because of the agreement and seal with Zhang Lao, the young man was unable to use his blood power, but at least he could get some help in terms of physique and the instincts of some strange beasts.

"It's one of the world's best auctions, it's really diverse, and there's everything. ”

The young man thought to himself as he flipped through the silk books, and the more he looked at the catalogue of the auction, the more interested he became. Suddenly, a servant came to report that a corpse with scaly wounds and gray hair suddenly appeared in front of the door!

On the open chest of the corpse was engraved the word "Singing Snake" of the young man. The servants were well-trained and did not dare to act rashly, and immediately someone came to report to the boy. The young man was startled, and without saying much, he hurried to the gate of the other courtyard with someone leading the way.

The young man came to the scene and looked down, and immediately recognized that the corpse was the old man Sun who helped him buy the broken copper pieces!

"Who would dare to commit murder before such a grand event!?"

The young man pressed the anger in his heart, squatted down and investigated carefully, and found that the body was stiff and had been dead for a long time, and Zhou's body was covered with bruises and scratches, thinking that this old man Sun had been tortured extremely cruelly before he died. The real fatal wound is a clean sword in the heart, and the rest of the scratches are just to hide this truth.

Reaching into the arms of the unrecognizable corpse, the boy found that there was no silver package in it. If it weren't for the two big words on the chest, it would be very reminiscent of a robber murder. Because incidents like this happen every day on the black streets, it is difficult to attract the attention of others.

Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything special about the corpse.

"Who killed Old Man Sun, hid the truth, and pretended to be murdering for money? Who engraved the word 'Singing Snake' on the chest of the deceased and sent it to this courtyard where I was?" the young man bowed his head and groaned.

These inconsistent indications suggest that the murder and the delivery of corpses must have been done by two different groups of people, but I wonder if the latter's intention was a kind reminder or a malicious warning?

The boy pondered, and examined the body lying on his back again. Suddenly, the young man's gaze stopped on the corpse's clenched fists!

In general, the fists of a person who dies because of the pain will be clenched together because of the convulsions. However, it is this common sense that makes it easy to ignore the secret that is hidden in the hand.

What caught the boy's attention was an imperceptible blue-black pinhole in the corpse's right hand. The pinhole reminded the boy of a man who was accustomed to poison and knew everything about the structure of the human body.

The old man of the demon scorpion, maybe he managed to leave a clue for himself on the right hand of this corpse!

The boy forcefully pulled away the stiff fingers of the corpse, and sure enough, he found a note in the palm of his hand, which had been folded into small pieces. Carefully spread out the note, scribbling a line of small words on the note.

"In less than three moments, the Giant's Rib Tavern will meet!"

(After all, I don't know what the old man of the scorpion wants, and listen to the next decomposition.) (To be continued......)
