The Journey to the Great Wilderness Chapter 52 The Mysterious Golden Pill
His gaze slowly withdrew from the three-hundred-year-old yellow essence, and Duan Chen continued to walk forward, his gaze constantly sweeping over the surrounding stalls.
I have to say that the items that appeared at this Moon Viewing Dao meeting are really varied, with everything, and there are even stalls selling desolate beast cubs.
Although Duan Chen thought that it would take a lot of time and energy to raise a desolate beast cub to adulthood.
But for those small immortal cultivation families and sects, if they can raise a desolate beast cub to adulthood, they can use it to guard the family mountain gate.
Of course, in addition to these desolate beast cubs, there are many things that can be used to guard the family mountain gate, such as low-level puppets, low-level talisman puppets, etc., but the prices are quite high, even the cheapest low-level talisman puppet among them, each one costs fifty low-grade spirit stones.
It's no wonder that when he was fighting for Zhuji Dan in the Qingshan Army, Na Luo Yiming would be so angry that he fainted on the spot because the Five Elements Fu Puppet was destroyed by Duan Chen.
This must not be just a matter of being mentally implicated.
At this time, he only heard the voice of the Seven Demon Lords, and suddenly it sounded in Duan Chen's mind, and said, "Three hundred steps to the left, there is a stall set up by a bald donkey, and there is a black stone on it, you must find a way to get it." ”
After saying this, the Seven Demon Lords stopped talking.
Duan Chen wondered in his heart, looked up and looked forward, and really saw an old monk wearing a yellow cloth robe at a distance of three hundred steps in front of him.
Speaking of this old monk, the behavior is also very strange, other stall owners are trying their best to shout and sell their own treasures, but he is alone in the middle of the city, but he still calmly beats the wooden fish, closes his eyes and recites the scriptures, and does not look at the monks who pass by, giving people a sense of loneliness and arrogance.
Duan Chen was very curious, and immediately walked over and came to the old monk's stall, but the old monk was still chanting with his eyes closed, and he didn't intend to pay attention to Duan Chen at all.
Duan Chen raised his eyebrows, but he didn't disturb the old monk's chanting, his eyes quickly swept over the stall in front of him, and he really found a fist-sized charcoal black stone with an extremely irregular shape in the upper right corner.
When Duan Chen took it into his hand without thinking, looked at it carefully, and then sensed it with his divine sense.
Naturally, the result was nothing, and in his opinion, the black stone was just a little harder, and there was nothing else special about it.
At this time, the old monk suddenly stopped chanting, looked at Duan Chen with his eyes open, and said with eyes as sharp as an eagle: "The little donor doesn't know this thing?"
Duan Chen smiled and said, "I just feel that this thing is incompatible with the other things that the master has placed on the stall, so I am a little curious about it in my heart." ”
With that, Duan Chen put the black stone back in its place.
Seeing this, the old monk seemed to be slightly disappointed, and said: "This thing is also obtained by accident, with the old man's knowledge, it is impossible to distinguish it, I originally wanted to take the opportunity of this moon viewing Dao to see if anyone recognizes this thing, but at the moment, no one can identify this thing." ”
Listening to his words, it seems that he has been setting up a stall at this moon viewing dao meeting for several days.
When Duan Chen heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "The Seven Ancestors asked me to get this stone in my hands no matter what, but this old monk is clearly not easy to fool, but it is a little difficult to deal with." ”
His mind was racing here, and he couldn't think of a good way.
The old monk saw that he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes seemed to be fixed on a scripture, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "The little donor has taken a fancy to this "Little Thousand Tibetan Scriptures" on the old man's stall?"
Duan Chen was slightly stunned, and suddenly had an idea: "It's not a secret, there is an elder in the next family who likes to eat fasting and recite Buddha, and the younger generation is just thinking about whether to bring a few scriptures to his old man's house." ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the dozens of scriptures on the stall.
When the old monk heard this, he smiled and said, "That being the case, the old man recommends that the little benefactor buy this "Great Wisdom Sutra". ”
Duan Chen sighed, pretended to pick up the "Great Wisdom Sutra", turned the pages of the book casually, and asked, "Dare to ask the master, how is this "Great Wisdom Sutra" sold?"
The old monk smiled and said: "There are a total of ninety volumes of this "Great Wisdom Sutra", if the little donor wants to buy a full set, he only needs to give the old man two hundred low-grade spirit stones. ”
The corners of Duan Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he really felt that this old monk was extremely black-hearted, and he dared to open his mouth like this with a few broken scriptures, and if it was normal, he would have already raised his legs and left.
But he was thinking about the black stone in his heart at the moment, and he couldn't help but say with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Two hundred low-grade spirit stones, this, this is too expensive." ”
Unexpectedly, the old monk said: "If the heart is sincere, no amount of spirit stone is expensive." ”
Duan Chen almost brushed his sleeves and left when he heard this, but in the end, he endured it and said: "The master's family has a big business, so he doesn't care about this spirit stone, but in the poor family, he really has to worry about it, master, how do you look like this, I will give you two hundred lower grade spirit stones, and buy your ninety volumes of the Great Wisdom Sutra, plus the Lotus Sutra, and this black stone." ”
The old monk was stunned when he heard this, and he pondered for a long time before he said: "Alas, I and the little donor, you hit it off at first sight, today's transaction, although it is a loss-making business, but the little donor, your parents are so sincere to the Buddha, the old man is to suffer some losses, and it is okay." ”
At the moment, the two of them paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
Duan Chen got the black stone, and said goodbye to the old monk with satisfaction at the moment, turned around and continued to wander around other stalls, unaware that after he left, the old monk's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a trace of contemplation.
But it was said that Duan Chen got the black stone, turned around a few stalls, and saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the old monk, so he secretly asked, "Senior, what is the name of this black stone?"
The Seven Demon Lord's tone was slightly excited: "This is a magic pill. ”
Duan Chen frowned, and hurriedly asked, "What is the Demon Pill?"
The Seven Demon Monarchs said: "The human race cultivates the golden pill, the demon clan cultivates the demon pill, and the demon clan cultivates the demon pill, and you can also understand it as the demon clan's golden pill." ”
When Duan Chen heard that the black stone was actually a demon golden pill, his heart suddenly beat wildly, and he secretly glanced back, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the old monk hadn't caught up.
At this time, I only heard the Seven Demon Monarch sneer: "Don't worry, although the old bald donkey has a good cultivation, he doesn't know the goods at all, otherwise he wouldn't have given you this magic pill." ”
Duan Chen put his mind at ease, and then asked curiously, "Senior, did you just say that the old monk's cultivation is good?"
The Seven Demon Monarch smiled and said, "An old bald donkey in the late stage of Jindan, although this Demon Lord doesn't know what his purpose is to hide his cultivation, he can't hide this Demon Lord's divine sense. ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "When you get out of this moon-watching Dao meeting, you remember to dispose of those two scriptures, there are divine sense marks left by the old bald donkey, you take them with you, he can find you at any time, I think he has seen that you know the true face of the magic pill, otherwise he would not deliberately keep this hand." ”
Duan Chen was shocked when he heard this, and nodded and said, "The junior has written it down." ”
At that moment, he wandered around the Moon Viewing Dao for a while, took the opportunity to sell a few unused magic weapons on his body, and bought some blank rune paper and spiritual liquid, and then left the north of the city and returned to the inn.
Of course, before entering the inn, Duan Chen followed the instructions of the Seven Demon Lords, and found a random place for the two scriptures and threw them away.
At this time, it was almost noon, Li Mubai and Gu Ling'er brother and sister seemed to have gone out, and they were not in the courtyard, Duan Chen simply returned to the room, took out the rune paper and spiritual liquid he had purchased before, and began to practice the way of runes with the spirit pen magic weapon.
After a while, he stroked a light talisman that had just been completed with his fingers, and muttered, "Senior, the success rate of the spirit rune drawn with this spirit liquid seems to be much higher than that drawn directly with the blood of demon beasts, why is this?"
The Seven Demon Lords said lightly: "The so-called spiritual liquid is actually refined from many spiritual materials, and it is naturally more gentle and balanced than the blood of simple demon beasts, so the success rate of drawing spirit runes with spiritual liquid will be higher, but whether it is spiritual liquid or demon beast blood, only the higher the grade, the more powerful the spirit runes drawn will be." ”
Duan Chen nodded, what he bought this time was a low-grade spirit liquid, so when he drew the spirit rune, he had already found that although the success rate of drawing the spirit rune with the low-grade spirit liquid was higher, the power was still slightly inferior to the spirit rune drawn with the blood of the Zhuji Demon Beast.
The Seven Demon Lord continued, "You have now mastered the method of drawing low-level runes, and now it's time to learn to draw middle-level runes. ”
Duan Chenqi said: "Senior, is there still a grade of this rune?"
The Seven Demon Lords said with a smile: "The font still has the difficulty of the strokes, and the way of this rune naturally also has a grade, for example, the thunderstorm rune is drawn by the fusion of the two lines of gold and water, the wind blade rune, which is fused by the two lines of water and wood runes, and the others are ice thorn runes, diamond runes, retreat runes, etc., in the future, you will have to learn the way of runes, for now you will start with the thunderstorm runes." ”
Duan Chen nodded, and began to draw thunderstorm runes on the rune paper with the spirit pen according to the instructions of the Seven Dead Demon Lords.
A quarter of an hour passed, and after consuming dozens of rune papers, Duan Chen finally drew a thunderstorm rune in its entirety.
Looking at the silver thunderstorm runes on the rune paper, Duan Chen couldn't help but smile a little.
In terms of drawing difficulty, this thunderstorm rune is naturally more difficult to draw than the five-element rune, and once there is a pause and break during the period, it means failure.
In addition, when using the spirit pen to draw runes, it is necessary to ensure the balance of spiritual power instilled in it at all times, and once the spiritual power fluctuates, the entire rune paper will also be destroyed.
All in all, when drawing runes, the monk must have a high concentration of mind, and it is best to be able to do it in one go, so that the success rate will be higher.
Right now, Duan Chen's complete drawing of this thunderstorm rune is his successful work after dozens of exercises.
At that moment, he came to the courtyard with this thunderstorm talisman that had not dried up, intending to verify the power of this talisman, who knew that before he could cast a spell to sacrifice this thunderstorm talisman, but when he saw the thunder flash, the thunderstorm talisman turned into a cloud of charred ash with a sneer.
Duan Chen looked at the rune paper in his hand, which had turned into ashes, and stayed for a moment before he couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that even if this thunderstorm rune was completely drawn, it didn't mean that the drawing was successful.
At this time, I only heard the Seven Deaths Demon Lord speak: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, this middle-level rune is cultivated, the difficulty is still above the low-level rune, and it is normal to fail one hundred and eighty times, you don't have to be discouraged." ”
Duan Chen knew that the Seven Demon Lords were right, but it was rare for him to draw a complete thunderstorm rune, and in the end, it still ended in failure, and there was inevitably a gap in his heart.
However, he quickly adjusted his mind and returned to his room to continue drawing the thunderstorm runes.
In this way, in the next half day, Duan Chen destroyed nearly a hundred rune papers in a row, and finally succeeded in drawing a thunderstorm rune.
However, there seemed to be a certain element of luck in the successful drawing of this thunderstorm rune, and then Duan Chen tried dozens of times, but all of them ended in failure.
During this period, Li Mubai and Gu Linger went back to the inn once, but left in a hurry, as if they had other important matters.
Duan Chen wasn't in a hurry to leave Moon Viewing City, so in the next few days, he cultivated the Nine Yang Demon Body with the help of the Fire Attribute Spirit Stone during the day, and continued to practice the mid-level runes at night, and if he felt mentally tired, he meditated on the bed to breathe.
After three or five days like this, Li Mubai and Gu Linger knocked on Duan Chen's door and called him to the courtyard.
Seeing that the two of them looked relaxed, Duan Chen couldn't help but ask curiously, "The two Daoists have already contacted the Master's Sect?"
Li Mubai immediately smiled and said: "Regarding the infestation of the Dongling Demon Cultivator, as well as the manipulation of the beast tide by the Jindan Demon Clan in Tiandu Town, I have already sent the news back to the division, it is said that the division side attaches great importance to it, and will send someone to investigate in the near future, so that the three of us can also leave for Nanyang Village." ”
Gu Linger said slightly apologetically: "I'm really sorry for making Duan Daoyou wait for the past few days." ”
Duan Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Gu Dao Friend is serious, in the next few days, I will cultivate in the room, and I will live quickly, but I don't feel depressed. ”
Li Mubai said: "Brother Duan's penance, I really admire my brother and sister. ”
His voice paused slightly, and he continued: "I wonder if Brother Duan is ready to leave for Nanyang Village, or do you want to continue practicing in this Moon Viewing City for a while?"
In his heart, he wanted to leave for Nanyang Village as soon as possible, but he was afraid of interrupting Duan Chen's cultivation, so he asked this question.
Duan Chen shook his head and said, "I have finished my cultivation now, and I can leave for Nanyang Village at any time." ”
Li Mubai said: "That is the case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's leave for Nanyang Village today, right?"
At that moment, the three of them settled the expenses for food and clothing with the innkeeper for the past few days, and flew in the direction of the south of the city.
In this way, I rushed for three days, and it was not until the evening of the fourth day that I arrived at Nanyang Village.
This Nanyang Village, in fact, is just a small village where only dozens of families live, and most of the people in the village make a living by picking mulberry and raising silkworms and weaving cloth.
When Duan Chen and the three of them arrived, the smoke of cooking had already risen from every household in the village, accompanied by bursts of vegetable fragrance, which made people feel a little hungry in their stomachs.
