Chapter Fifty-Six: The Pavilion of Instruments
Time flickered, and another two months passed.
For two months, Qin Lie had shrunk in the inn, spending all his energy on practicing the Spirit Gathering Array, and he was forgetful.
Twenty-four spirit plates, after two months of practice, fifteen spirit plates were scrapped, and nine spirit plates successfully carved the spirit gathering array diagram.
"Fifteen pieces have been scrapped, and it seems that it will take a while before we can really master it. In the room, Qin Lie frowned, opened the window, and pondered silently, "There is no soul board in your hand anymore, if you want to continue practicing, you must replenish a new spirit board." It's just that once you enter the Nebula Pavilion, you may not be able to be so leisurely......"
Outside the window, there were many martial artists of different realms walking around, and the direction in which those people were going was the spiritual material business street between the north city and the south city.
The room where he lived, across a river, could see many shops on the Spirit Material Merchant Street, and he could see many people wearing the martial arts costumes of the Shattered Ice Mansion and Nebula Pavilion, walking around the Spirit Material Merchant Street.
Looking closely, he could even faintly see that the martial artists of the Shattered Ice Mansion and the Nebula Pavilion would confront each other on the Spirit Material Merchant Street, and there would be conflicts in words, and they would look at each other angrily.
However, those people all abide by the rules and don't dare to really do anything in the spiritual material shopping street, they just provoke and shout at each other.
After glancing at the window for a while, Qin Lie touched his chin and pondered, thinking about how to obtain the spirit plate so that he could continue the practice of carving the spirit array diagram.
Before leaving from Lingjia Town, he left all the elixir spirit stones on his body to Ling Feng and the others, and now he only has wood carvings, fire crystals, nebula orders and other things, among which wood carvings and nebula orders are extremely precious, fire crystals are just ordinary things, and their value is not high, and they are still the fire source of his future melting weapons, and they cannot be used to exchange for spirit plates.
He tapped his fingers on the wooden table, looked at the nine spirit plates depicting the spirit gathering array diagram on it, pondered for a while, and suddenly had a thought: "Can the spirit plate engraved with the spirit gathering array map be sold and exchanged for a blank spirit plate?"
Thinking like this, he looked moved, and planned to try his luck and see if there were any shops in the Lingcai Commercial Street that could be purchased.
Going downstairs and stepping on the stone bridge over the river, he came to the Lingcai Merchant Street in the center of the two cities, and saw that there were many people on this street, most of them were martial artists wearing special costumes of the Ice Shattering Mansion and Xingyun Pavilion, and some of them were casually dressed, and unknown martial artists like him were mixed in.
At both ends of the commercial street, there are more than a dozen shops of various kinds, selling elixirs, elixirs, spiritual grasses, and all kinds of low-level cultivation skills.
In the center of the shopping street, a five-story wooden building is magnificently built, and there is an endless flow of people in front of the door.
Many martial artists with a slightly higher realm came straight to that shop, and it seemed that the real purpose of coming to the Lingcai Shopping Street was this largest shop.
"Appliance Pavilion ......"
Far away, Qin Lie could see the shining and dazzling plaque of this shop, and he didn't know how the plaque was supported, and the three words "Appliance Pavilion" shone brightly under the sun, which was extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.
Seeing the martial artists of the Nebula Pavilion and the Shattered Ice Mansion, as well as many scattered pedestrians, they all went to the Appliance Pavilion, and Qin Lie also subconsciously passed.
When he came to the door of the Appliance Pavilion, he looked up and glanced at the plaque again, but was surprised to find that when he got closer, the words "Appliance Pavilion" on the plaque were not dazzling.
It seems that its shiny light is only to attract people from a distance, and when it attracts people, it will not be uncomfortable to the eyes.
Just this small detail, you can see the extraordinaryness of the "Appliance Pavilion", Qin Lie nodded secretly in his heart, and also walked in with the crowd.
The first floor of the pavilion is extremely spacious, and there are exquisite glassware next to the walls of this floor, which contains all kinds of delicate and beautiful spiritual weapons, shining swords, golden short spears, rings of various colors, and shining hammers...... There are at least dozens of spiritual artifacts.
Many warriors who came here gathered in front of the glassware that contained the spiritual weapons, and asked the clerks here about the situation of the spiritual weapons, figuring out the functions and prices, and gaining insight into the grade of the spiritual weapons.
“...... The third grade of the mortal level, the fourth grade of the mortal grade, most of them are of this level. However, there are spiritual artifacts for sale on the first floor of this Appliance Pavilion, not just selling spiritual elixirs and spiritual materials like other shops, no wonder everyone comes here, because there are finished products here that can be purchased directly. ”
Qin Lie observed silently for a while, listening attentively to the conversations of some people, and quickly figured out the situation.
The first floor of the Appliance Pavilion only sells mortal-level fourth-grade spiritual weapons, the second floor sells mortal-level fifth-grade spiritual weapons, the third floor sells mortal-level sixth-grade spiritual weapons, the fourth floor sells mortal-level seventh-grade spiritual weapons, and the fifth floor...... There are even Xuan-level spiritual weapons to buy!
It's just that, from the second layer onwards, there is a limit to going up - either the realm reaches the Kaiyuan realm, or a part of the spirit stones is paid out, proving to the Appliance Pavilion that they have the financial resources to buy it, instead of wasting their time.
He checked carefully, and found that almost the vast majority of the people who came only stayed on the first floor, wandering among those mortal-grade third- and fourth-grade spiritual weapons, and talking with the clerk of the Appliance Pavilion about the price.
There were only a handful of people, and they didn't linger and went straight to the top of the stairs.
At the entrance of the staircase, there are two special guards in the Appliance Pavilion, and they will check a little to confirm that the other party's realm has reached the Kaiyuan realm, or that they have enough financial resources to open the way with spirit stones, and only then will they be allowed to come upstairs.
Everyone who went upstairs had a proud face, and they didn't look at the warriors who stayed on the first floor, as if their identity was naturally superior.
The people on this floor, looking at those people, also showed awe and envy, and some even bowed slightly, showing their humility with a smile.
"The one who just went up is Pei An, the hall master under the command of Elder Wei Xing of the Nebula Pavilion, who cultivated in the early stage of the Kaiyuan Realm. ”
"Now this is called Ji Feiwen, he is the head of the Ji family under the Shattered Ice Mansion, and it is said that he has reached the middle realm of the Kaiyuan Realm, which is very powerful. ”
"Hey, who is that?"
The warriors on this floor muttered from time to time, explaining the identities of the people who went upstairs one by one, and then suddenly looked at a young warrior with a surprised expression.
This young man was about twenty years old, dressed in the warrior clothes of the Shattered Ice Mansion, with a handsome appearance and an indifferent expression, and he was seven points similar to Feng Yi.
He went straight up the stairs.
"Feng Kai! he is Feng Kai, he was still cultivating in the Nebula Pavilion more than half a year ago, and he didn't know that the Feng family suddenly betrayed the Nebula Pavilion, and Feng Kai also directly joined the Shattered Ice Mansion. Someone screamed.
Qin Lie was mixed in the crowd, his pupils shrunk, and he secretly looked at Feng Kai.
"It turns out that this is Feng Yi's brother, the guy who said he wanted to kill me, but it's a pity...... He didn't seem to know me. ”
"Feng Kai, you traitor, you and the Feng family will inevitably be wiped out by the Nebula Pavilion!" At this moment, the Nebula Pavilion martial artist named Pei An who had gone upstairs earlier shouted violently on the second floor and threatened with words.
"Hmph, you can try it and see who kills whom!" Feng Kai drank coldly on the second floor without showing weakness.
Qin Lie and many others were on the lower floor, and they could only hear the quarrel from above, but they couldn't see the situation of the two above.
"Quiet. An impatient voice came from the upper floor, with a strong voice, and hummed: "If you don't want to follow my rules, get out of here!"
As soon as these words came out, the quarrel between Feng Kai and Pei An immediately stopped, and the two of them were still muttering and apologizing in unison: "Old Pan is angry." ”
"Old Pan, who is he?" asked a newcomer in a low voice.
"Pan Lao is Pan Jueming, the person in charge of this Appliance Pavilion branch in Ice Rock City, even Yan Wenyan, the owner of the Ice Shattering Mansion, and Tu Mo, the pavilion master of the Xingyun Pavilion, have to give him some face, not to mention Feng Kai and Pei An?"
Qin Lie listened in the crowd, silently looked at the staircase leading to the upper floor, and smiled bitterly.
His realm is not enough, and his net worth is not generous, so he is obviously not qualified to go to the upper layer to have a look, he pondered for a while, and while everyone's attention was on the previous matter, he found a female clerk of the Appliance Pavilion, took out a spirit plate that depicted the spirit gathering array diagram, and said, "Does the Appliance Pavilion accept spiritual materials?"
"Of course, but it depends on what level, and we won't accept low-level ones. The female clerk was in her twenties, with an ordinary appearance and acne on her face, she glanced at Qin Lie from head to toe, and said with a cold attitude: "Mortal-level spiritual materials below the fifth grade, it is recommended that you go to other shops to sell them, even if it is a mortal-level five-grade spiritual material, it is best to sell them in batches, the kind of one piece or two, the Appliance Pavilion will not be of great interest." ”
Qin Lie was stunned, and secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, he didn't expect that just a small clerk in the Appliance Pavilion would be so difficult.
"This spirit board, there is a spirit gathering array diagram inside, which can gather the aura of heaven and earth, so that the aura of heaven and earth around the cultivator can be increased by a quarter, I don't know if you are interested in acquiring it?" Qin Lie had a premonition that he was going to be deflated, but now his hand was too tight, so he could only try it hard.
"The spirit board that practices the depiction of the spirit array diagram is just a low-level spirit material, even if there is a spirit gathering array diagram in it, it is not a big deal. The clerk shook his head, with a sneer in his eyes, and clearly refused: "I'm sorry, don't talk about our Appliance Pavilion, even those small shops outside may not be willing to buy it." ”
Qin Lie's expression was a little embarrassed, he nodded, he didn't continue to say more, and he didn't have the face to continue to stay, so he could only walk out of the Appliance Pavilion in a gloomy manner.
"Let's try the small shop outside......" Coming to the door of the appliance pavilion, he took a breath, smiled bitterly, and tried it one by one.
"My spirit board can gather the aura of the nearby heaven and earth, and increase the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth by a quarter, I don't know if you are interested?"
"I'm not interested, you can try another one. ”
"High-level martial artists, there are spirit stones that can be used for cultivation, you don't need this thing, a quarter of the enhanced aura is not a lot, just find a place with rich aura. ”
"Sorry, we don't buy. ”
"I'm sorry, the shop is not interested. ”
“......”
Qin Lie's family's attempts, the result was the same, and they were rejected again and again, stating that they were not interested in his spirit board.
"It's such a waste in the afternoon, it's getting dark, well, there's still a shop left in zuihou, try it, if it doesn't work, I'll go back." ”
When he was about to give up, he saw that in a remote corner of Lingcai Commercial Street, there was actually a very small shop.
This shop is very remote, separated from the lively main road by a distance, and the plaque in front of the door reads "Li Kee Shop" crookedly, and the paint on the plaque has almost fallen off......
Inside, in the shadows, a man lay in a rocking chair, perhaps because business was so sluggish, that he seemed to be asleep.
......
