The person who came was surnamed Gongsun, with a single name and a central character, no sect or faction, and was an unknown cultivator. He has never had an immortal sword in his hand, and he has heard that the level of refining immortal swords in the Taiqing Sect is extremely high, so since the start of the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, he immediately came to the trading hall of the Taiqing Sect.

Among the fifty immortal swords placed by the Taiqing Sect, there are long and short, thick and thin, thick and thin, soft and hard, and they are the objects of exchange between small and medium-sized sects and scattered cultivators. In less than a day, seventeen immortal swords had already been exchanged. The next day, eleven fairy swords were exchanged...... By the end of the fifth day, there would only be three immortal swords left.

Among the three fairy swords, there is a fairy sword called "Red Qiang", which is refined by the sixth elder Wang Liping, the sword quality is soft, and the whole body is red, so it is named. Just looking at the appearance of this fairy sword, it is more suitable for women to use, and there are not many people who practice the soft sword technique, so it is still not exchanged after five days.

Although Gongsun Yang is not a woman, he is practicing the soft sword technique. There are few soft swords, not to mention a medium-grade fairy sword like Red Qiang, Gongsun Yang fell in love with it at a glance. It's a pity that the items that Gongsun Yang brought were not comparable to the value of the Red Rose Immortal Sword at all. In the past few days, Gongsun Yang has visited repeatedly, just to see if the Red Qiang Fairy Sword has been replaced by others, and at the same time, he is also racking his brains on how to exchange this fairy sword.

The items that Gongsun Yang brought to the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference were just some medicinal materials produced in Xianglong County, and Kanglong County, where Taiqing Sect was located, was already very close to Xianglong County, so there was no shortage of such medicinal materials.

"Gongsun Daoyou, I don't know what you want to exchange for this time?" asked Li Yuanxiaole happily. Gongsun Yang is also really interesting, after knowing that the Taiqing Sect does not need the medicinal materials he brought, he first went to exchange with the sects of other counties, and then used the exchanged items to discuss with Li Yuanxiao. Li Yuanxiao said no, he went to exchange again, and it has been seven or eight times like this. Helplessly, the things he could exchange for were nothing more than some medicinal materials that were not rare, and the medicinal materials exchanged by the Taiqing Sect were almost filled with three major boxes.

"No, no, this time I'm just coming to see if the Red Rose Sword has been replaced. In the past few days, I have caused trouble to Sect Master Li......" Gongsun Yang made a gesture, and then said in a hurry, "Sect Master Li, I don't know...... I wonder if your sect will wait until the end of the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference before leaving?" The reason why he asked this question was because he was worried that if the Taiqing Sect left the Rongyang Sect early after the transaction was completed, he would never have a chance to get the Red Warrior Sword again.

Li Yuanxiao naturally understood what he was thinking: "Gongsun Daoyou, I'm sorry, the medicinal materials and minerals that my sect needs have basically been collected enough, I'm afraid we will leave for the sect tomorrow." ”

Gongsun Yang looked regretful: "Alas, it seems that I really have no chance with this Red Qiang Immortal Sword." ”

"Gongsun Daoyou, it's not that I deliberately embarrass you, refining a medium-grade immortal sword is not an easy task, if your medicinal materials are a little precious, I can also make a personal exchange with you, it's just ......"

"Understand, understand, how can I not know the hard work of refining the medium-grade fairy sword? The materials alone are already worth a lot of money, not to mention the superb cultivation and sword refining techniques. I'll take a look elsewhere, maybe I can get something that your sect is interested in, so I'll take my leave first. Gongsun Yang made another gesture and left the hall step by step.

When he walked away, Hong Yunlei said with a smile: "It's really hard for him to keep thinking about a medium-grade soft sword." ”

Yu Ruijiang said lightly: "Loose cultivators don't have a large source of minerals, and they don't have the experience of refining immortal swords, so the success rate of refining them is extremely low. It is like our large quantities, not only the materials are enough, but also the valuable experience left by the predecessors, and the probability of refining is naturally not the same. ”

Li Yuanxiao agreed: "That's a good thing. In our eyes, the medium-grade immortal sword, which is not worth mentioning, is a precious treasure in their eyes. Moreover, refining the Immortal Sword also takes time and effort, and just with the ordinary medicinal materials he took out, of course it is impossible for me to exchange them with him. Alright, once this box is full, we'll head home. ”

This day is already the sixth day of the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, and after Gongsun Yang left, Li Yuanxiao changed out some pills one after another, and in the evening, the box was full. Since it was getting late, they decided to stay one more night in the Rongyang Sect.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanxiao went to say goodbye to Zhan Zhengxiang, the sect leader of Rongyang, but Zhan Zhengxiang was still lukewarm. At this time, there were already many people missing from the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, and most of the loose cultivators and small sects had already exchanged for the items they needed and left early. And among the seven major sects, the Taiqing Sect was the fourth to leave.

As soon as Li Yuanxiao and the other three walked down Huoye Mountain, they heard a voice shouting in the distance behind them: "Sect Master Li, please wait!"

"That guy hasn't given up yet, huh?" Hong Yunlei felt surprised and amused, "Let's see what he takes out in exchange for this time." ”

Gongsun Yang rushed to the front of a few people, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Everyone, I'm really embarrassed, I went to the trading hall early this morning, but I didn't see your figure, I heard the little disciple say that you just said goodbye to Sect Master Zhan, so I hurriedly chased down the mountain."

Li Yuanxiao said: "It's okay. Could it be that Gongsun Daoyou has found some good medicinal materials again?"

Gongsun Yang replied, "Sect Master Li, what I brought this time is not a medicinal herb. Although it is not very valuable, it has a peculiar effect. Please see—" As he spoke, Gongsun Yang took out a jade pendant.

This jade pendant is milky white and crystalline, slightly reflecting the sunlight, in the shape of a round cake, which is hollowed out into a 'dragon and phoenix play beads' pattern, the jewel is actually a bright green.

"This jade pendant is made by Wen Huayu, Wen Huayu originally had the effect of accumulating essence and nourishing essence, clearing the heart and calming the nerves, and what is even more commendable is that the green jewel in the jade pendant is a Bilangya, and its preciousness is needless to say. Gongsun Yang's face was overjoyed.

"Oh, Bilangya, Gongsun Daoyou, can you lend me a look?" Li Yuanxiao asked with interest.

"Oh, yes, of course. ”

Taking the jade pendant, Li Yuanxiao carefully measured it. It is indeed a high-grade Wen Huayu, which is not cold to the skin, but has a warm feeling. The dragon and phoenix carved out are also finely carved and lifelike, and it can be seen that they should be from the hands of a clever jade craftsman. The most dazzling thing is the one in it, which faintly exudes a pale green light.

Bilangya is a rare ore. This ore is generally produced from the inside of large pieces of jadeite. But every large piece of minerals has a core. And Bilangya is the core of a large piece of jadeite. Jadeite is a precious gemstone, and large pieces of jadeite are even rarer, so Bilangya is precious. Look at this Bilangya, it is even bigger than ordinary pills, and the quality is so good that it fluoresces slightly. Jadeite already has the effect of warding off evil spirits and relieving the soul, not to mention such a rare Bilangya.

But it's a pity that Li Yuanxiao and others are immortal cultivators. Such a precious jade pendant may be precious to others, but to Li Yuanxiao and others, it is like chicken ribs. To clear the heart and calm the nerves, it is better to take a pill. It was indeed very difficult for ordinary people and weak immortal cultivators to ask for a pill, but the sect masters and elders of the Taiqing Sect, why was it difficult to ask for a pill? they could refine it themselves.

Hong Yunlei smiled and said to Gongsun Yang: "I said Gongsun Daoyou, have you forgotten that my Taiqing Sect's alchemy is one of the best in the Qinglong Continent, how can the efficacy of this Wenhua jade and Bilangya be comparable to the Cleansing Heart Pill? ”

"Ah......" Gongsun Yang was speechless for a while, embarrassed. He exchanged all the medicinal materials for this jade pendant, for him, this jade pendant is still a rare item, if it weren't for the more favorite Red Qiang Immortal Sword, he would be reluctant to exchange it out. It's a pity that what you think is precious is not necessarily precious to others. Gongsun Yang was secretly annoyed, why did he forget that the Taiqing Sect's Dan technique was super high. "Alas, I forgot for a moment that your sect does not lack the elixir of the Cleansing Heart Pill at all. Needless to say, the Cleansing Heart Pill, even the second-level Cleansing Divine Pill is not comparable to the Wenhua Jade Pendant in terms of efficacy. Since this is the case, I will not delay Sect Master Li and the two elders to return to the sect. Gongsun Yang was very disappointed and prepared to take back the jade pendant and leave.

"Wait. Li Yuanxiao, who had been carefully observing the jade pendant, raised his head, "Gongsun Daoyou, I want this piece of Wenhua jade pendant." ”

Gongsun Yang almost jumped up in surprise: "Is Sect Master Li serious?"

Li Yuanxiao smiled and said, "How can I tease Gongsun Daoyou?" Elder Yu, give me the Red Qiang Sword." ”

"Sect Master, what do you want this thing for?" Hong Yunlei was puzzled.

Li Yuanxiao didn't answer, and took the Red Qiang Immortal Sword from Yu Ruijiang's hand, Gongsun Yang stared at the immortal sword that emitted a pale red light, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Gongsun Daoyou, if you want to get the Red Qiang Sword, I have one more condition. Li Yuan said.

Gongsun Yang said happily, "What conditions, Sect Master Li can mention it." "Look at his excited look, don't say one, it is estimated that he will agree to a hundred conditions.

"You have to tell me where you got this jade pendant. Li Yuanxiao said solemnly.

"Sect Master Li, this is what I got with all the medicinal materials in exchange for an acquaintance with the Poison Refining Sect. I don't know why the sect master has such a question?" Gongsun Yang saw Li Yuanxiao's solemn expression and knew that things might not be ordinary, but fortunately, he got the jade pendant from someone else, and there was nothing to hide.

Li Yuanxiao's expression soothed again: "It's okay, it's okay." I wonder if you can tell me the name of the person you know?"

"That person's name is Xu Yinquan, and I have only had a few encounters with him, and I am just a Taoist friend who knows him. This time, he saw the face of his acquaintance, so he traded this jade pendant to me cheaply. Gongsun Yang replied honestly.

Li Yuanxiao nodded: "I see." Okay, Gongsun Daoyou, this Red Rose Immortal Sword is yours!"

Gongsun Yang trembled and took the coveted fairy sword, and couldn't wait to wave it twice, the extremely soft red sword felt very good, and the sound of the "whoosh" sword wind made his heart feel good. The sword is in hand, and the wish has been granted. Gongsun Yang said goodbye to the three of them and left Huoye Mountain contentedly.

"Elder Hong, Elder Yu, you two will return to the sect first with the medicinal herbs, and I have something urgent to do. Li Yuanxiao said to the two.

"Then the sect master be careful, if you need help, notify the sect immediately. Yu Ruijiang said. From Li Yuanxiao's demeanor and demeanor just now, it can be seen that the piece of Wenhua jade pendant is a little strange. Following Li Yuanxiao for many years, Hong and Yu know his character very well, and since he didn't say what was going on, they wouldn't break the casserole and ask to the end.

The two of them bowed slightly, and the sword rose and flew towards the southeast. Seeing that the backs of the two gradually turned into two small dots, Li Yuanxiao retracted his gaze and walked towards the mountain again. In fact, at this moment, his heart is far less calm than on the surface, because that piece of Wenhua jade pendant is the first birthday gift that he personally hung around his daughter's neck when Li Yuru was one year old!

When Gongsun Yang took out the jade pendant, Li Yuanxiao was shocked in his heart, the appearance of this jade pendant was too familiar to him. The jade pendant was originally a token of love exchanged between Li Yuanxiao and his wife, and since she put it on, Li Yuru has never taken it off. In order to confirm just now, Li Yuanxiao specially asked Gongsun Yang to ask for a Wenhua jade pendant, and after turning over and over again, he was sure that this was the jade pendant that his wife gave him back then.

Five years ago, when Li Yuanxiao heard the sad news that his daughter and son-in-law were killed, He Yunwan and his wife had already been incinerated and buried by the loyal old housekeeper Huang, but he didn't expect to see the things on his daughter's body here today, Li Yuanxiao's heart was "poofed", the murderer who had not been found for five years was in the poisonous refining sect? Who could it be? Why did he commit the murder? Li Yuanxiao thought all the way, and unconsciously came to the gate of the Rongyang Sect, he looked up at the plaque of the Rongyang Sect, took a deep breath, and stepped in.

"Sect Master Li, haven't you already left, why did you go and return?" Zhan Zhengxiang happened to pass by the courtyard and saw Li Yuanxiao.

"Sect Master Zhan, I have something I forgot in my residence, so I came back to pick it up, and I looked at Haihan. Li Yuanxiao lied, he didn't want to alarm anyone until the matter was investigated.

Zhan Zhengxiang squeezed out a smile: "Where is it, Sect Master Li, please take care of yourself." I still have something to do, so I'll quit first. With that, he bowed his hand slightly and left with two disciples.

Li Yuanxiao walked in the direction of the Remnant Wind Garden, and thought in his stomach: "Poison Refining Sect...... I don't know where this sect's trading place is, so I'll have to ask someone about it later. ”

The name of the Poison Refining Sect is not unfamiliar to Li Yuanxiao. This is a sect in Qianlong County, not large, but very famous. It's a pity that he became famous not because of how strong the sect was, but because the exercises were more vicious. Poison Refining Sect, as the name suggests, cultivates with poison. The immortal swords used by the people of the Poison Refining Sect have all undergone special treatment, that is, quenching poison.

To say that the level of poison used by the people of the Poison Refining Sect is estimated to be only slightly weaker than that of Hua Jun's first vein, but Hua Jun's use of poison is to benefit himself to help his cultivation, while the use of poison by the Poison Refining Sect is to deal with others. In fact, the founding patriarch of the Poison Refining Sect was not a sinister and cunning person, although he was good at using poison, he was only used to punish adultery and eliminate evil, and he could be called "chivalrous and courageous". He found one among the mountains of the Wuling Mountains in Xianglong County as the foundation of the sect. It's just that the children of later generations gradually deviated from the legacy of the original patriarch, and they have today's bad reputation.

Later, the Poison Refining Sect raised all kinds of poisons around the sect, and the food of the poisons was innocent animals in the mountains and forests, and over time, the animals were poisoned and eaten, and the Poison Refining Sect began to raise those poisons in captivity, and at the same time, raised all kinds of domestic animals for poison food. It is rumored that the Poison Refining Sect had even caught children playing alone or passing merchants at the foot of the mountain and fed them alive with poison, so how could such things that hurt the heavens and reason be tolerated? The Chiri Sect and the Taiqing Sect, which were closer to Xianglong County, had both gone to question the Poison Refining Sect, but there was no conclusive evidence, and Ye Shenrong, the sect leader of the Tianyun Sect, who had the power to overthrow the Dragon County, strongly guaranteed it, so the matter was stopped.

I have to admit that the Poison Refining Sect's secret method of quenching poison is still quite effective. Quenched the poison of the fairy sword, as long as the slightest wound is cut on the enemy's body, the poison on the sword will invade the enemy's body. There are some low-level poisons, and immortal cultivators are not afraid at all, and they are used against ordinary people. Intermediate poison, although the immortal cultivator is not afraid, but it also takes some time to dissolve, this time is a good time to attack the enemy, the enemy has not yet finished detoxification, once the poison is injured by the poisonous sword, it will aggravate the degree of poisoning, in this case, most of the immortal cultivators who are not high in cultivation are more than lucky. There are also some high-level poisons that even immortal cultivators can't easily dissolve. Most of these poisons have terrifying effects such as paralysis, fainting, confusion, and sealing acupoints, and are extremely effective against medium-strength immortal cultivators. In the end, there are a small number of poisons of the highest level, these kinds of poisons are not naturally generated, but the poison refining sect is specially refined to deal with the cultivation of advanced immortal cultivators, the poisoned person is paralyzed and unconscious, and the most serious is directly killed. In addition, sometimes a fairy sword is also quenched with mixed poison, and the poison on the sword body is as few as a few as a few as dozens of poisons. Once hit, detoxification becomes extremely troublesome. Therefore, although the Poison Refining Sect is not big, no one wants to provoke it. In terms of numbers, the Poison Refining Sect can't even compare to some small sects, but in terms of status, the Poison Refining Sect can be called the second largest sect in Xianglong County, and even the first major sect, the Tianyun Sect, has given enough face to the Poison Refining Sect. There's no way, who makes people not easy to mess with?

There are two main reasons for the scarcity of disciples in the Poison Refining Sect: First, it is because the reputation is too ugly. The word "poison" is generally associated with words such as insidious, cunning, ruthless, and treacherous in people's minds, and people who want to cultivate immortals generally disdain to be in the company of people who injure enemies with poison, so most of the disciples who worship the Poison Refining Sect are ruthless; There is only one condition for the Poison Refining Sect to admit disciples: they must have the physique to resist low-level poisons before they can enter the sect. Although the conditions are simple, few people can successfully pass the entrance test. Among the seven poisons in the world, some common poisons, such as black olive, butterfly grass, crypto-winged moth, stone Gu, abdominal corpse correction, ink silk crystal, mandala, etc., all belong to the category of low-level poisons. And the most of the seven strong poisons, such as the crane top red, are all classified as high-grade poisons. The physique that can naturally resist low-level poisons is already very rare, and there may not be more than two or three out of a hundred people. As for why the conditions for accepting apprentices are so strange, it is because in the initial stage of entering the sect, you need to be in frequent contact with all kinds of low-level poisons, and poisoning is inevitable.

Thinking about the various aspects of the Poison Refining Sect, Li Yuanxiao felt a slight chill, recalling Tianxiao and Tianyao's description of the slaughter of Yundu Villa, which really looked like the actions of the people of the Poison Refining Sect, but unfortunately he didn't know if his son-in-law and daughter were poisoned when they died.

"This little fellow Daoist, please stay, I want to ask, I don't know which peak the trading hall of the Tianyun Sect is on?" Seeing a disciple of the Rongyang Sect walking next to him, Li Yuanxiao hurriedly stopped him and asked. The Ten Thousand Immortal Assembly is the main immortal cultivation sect in the same county, and they are all on the same mountain, as long as they find the Tianyun Sect, they will not be far from the Poison Refining Sect.

"It's the seniors of the Taiqing Sect, and the juniors are polite. The trading floor of the Tianyun Sect was on the Qinghuo Peak over there. The juniors can take you there if they need to. The little disciple recognized the robe of the Taiqing Sect, so he politely pointed in the direction.

Li Yuanxiao smiled: "Thank you, you don't have to lead the way, you can go and get busy." After watching the disciple bow and leave, he thought to himself: "This set of clothes from the Taiqing Sect is so famous, even this little disciple can recognize it at a glance, it seems that he has to change his clothes before he can go to Qinghuo Peak." ”

It's easy to think about, but where to find clothes to change? After going down the mountain, I change my clothes and come up again? In case Zhan Zhengxiang sees it, it's hard to say. The anxious Li Yuanxiao looked around, and when he looked at the courtyard in the northwest, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart: "There is!"
