Chapter 194: The Circle of High Monks
Half a year later, it happened to be the time when the large merchant group from the Donghua Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm came to Xianyang City.
Zhou Yang didn't know if Qingyang Zhenren couldn't see him now, whether it had anything to do with this matter, and this question was destined to not be answered.
Therefore, after listening to Xu Zhengyang's words, he didn't mention this matter again, but just talked to Xu Zhengyang about the fact that he wanted to buy the fourth-order spirit pill and some precious refining materials for intensive cultivation.
I didn't think that after Xu Zhengyang listened to his words, he first nodded and said: "There are several fourth-order spirit pills for sale in the Dan Pavilion, if you don't think those spirit pills are expensive, you can buy them yourself." ”
After speaking, he shook his head and said: "As for the two materials of [Taiyi Essence Gold] and [Star Pattern Steel], not to mention our Xuanyang Pavilion, most shops will not sell this kind of extremely versatile rare spiritual object, if you want to collect these materials, you can basically only obtain them through auctions and exchange meetings." ”
"It just so happens that there are many high-level monks in the city now, and there are exchange meetings held every few days, I can write you a letter of introduction, you take the letter of introduction to visit someone, he will help you arrange these things, of course, you have to pay some spirit stones as an introduction fee to him. ”
Zhou Yang originally just asked in passing, and he didn't have much hope in his heart that he could get his wish.
Now hearing Xu Zhengyang say this, although he still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, he quickly packed up his emotions and thanked him: "The junior thanked the seniors first." ”
At that moment, Zhou Yang took the letter of introduction given by Xu Zhengyang out of the reception room, and went to the third floor of the Dan Pavilion of Xuanyang Pavilion first.
Just like Xu Zhengyang himself said, although there were three fourth-order spirit pills on the third layer of the Dan Pavilion that could refine the mana of the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators, the prices were all very high, and on average, the price of each one exceeded 10,000 spirit stones!
If Zhou Yang was the kind of ordinary Purple Mansion cultivator who only took one elixir for ten or eight years to increase his cultivation, the price of such an elixir was not unacceptable.
After all, most of the monks in the Purple Mansion period have power to rely on, and in ten years, they have received 10,000 spirit stones just for the worship benefits.
But once he really started to take medicine and practice, it would be taken once every six months, so even if he had hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on his body, he felt a little unbearable.
At this time, he realized how ridiculous it was for him to think that with hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, he would be able to worry about the spirit stone flowers in the entire Purple Mansion stage.
In his previous life, he often heard people say that the more he earns, the more he spends, but he has never had any concept of this.
Because at that time, his income was just a little bit every month, and every dollar had to be saved for the purpose of solving lifelong events in the future.
Now that he saw the price of these fourth-order elixirs in the Xuanyang Pavilion, he realized that this sentence was really not wrong at all.
But no matter how expensive things are, he can only buy them through gritted teeth.
Buying these fourth-order spirit pills in Xuanyang Pavilion, he can still use the "Xuanyang Order" to get a twenty-percent discount, if he buys them at other stores or auctions, the final spirit stones will definitely be a lot more.
So under the surprised gaze of the Dan Pavilion shopkeeper, he swept away half of the remaining inventory of the three fourth-order spirit pills in the store, and then took out the "Xuanyang Order" and placed it on the counter for the final settlement.
"Daoist friends are invited, a total of 164,700 spirit stones. ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhou Yang with a strange look, and finally abided by his professional ethics and settled the spirit stone for Zhou Yang without asking anything.
Of course, Zhou Yang understood what the shopkeeper's eyes meant.
Ordinary monks can buy this kind of elixir of intensive cultivation, and it is a lot to be able to buy three or five pieces at a time, how can they directly buy a dozen like him!
It's not that those Purple Mansion Stage cultivators can't afford to buy so many elixirs, it's that they don't need to do so at all.
Those people are not like Zhou Yang, they can use the "Qianyang Immortal Light" to get rid of erysipelas in their bodies, after they take an elixir of intensive cultivation, it generally takes more than ten or twenty years to slowly remove erysipelas from their bodies, so buying a lot of elixirs at a time is just a waste of spirit stones.
Zhou Yang even knew that if it weren't for the "Xuanyang Order" that he had, he would definitely attract the attention of Xuanyang Pavilion if he bought so many elixirs of intensive cultivation at one time, and maybe he would arrange someone to track down his own details.
It's not that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but in the world of cultivating immortals, this kind of thing is normal.
Tracking down a monk is not necessarily about killing people and taking treasures, but also about seeing if they can find business opportunities for in-depth cooperation.
If Zhou Yang hadn't had the "Xuanyang Order" to protect himself, in order to avoid this kind of thing, he would definitely not dare to buy a large amount of elixir at one time.
The truth that wealth is not exposed, even rookies who have just left the house know it, let alone a person like him.
After buying the pill, Zhou Yang took the letter of introduction from Xu Zhengyang to the famous restaurant "Ruxiang Building" in Xianyang City, and visited the owner of the restaurant, "Ruxiang Fairy".
This "Rue Xiang Fairy" is a Taoist companion of a certain Jindan period monk of Xuanyang Immortal Sect, although his cultivation is only the eighth layer of the Purple Mansion, but because of the relationship between Taoist couples, he has a wide range of contacts in Xianyang City, and has friendship with many high-level monks.
Hearing that Zhou Yang was introduced by Xu Zhengyang, this "Rue Fairy" did not dare to slack off, and after verifying the authenticity of the letter in his hand, he charged him another 1,000 spirit stone introduction fee, and quickly gave him an admission token for a high-level monk exchange meeting.
This token is a white jade wrench printed with a pitch-black Ding furnace, and when the "Rue Xiang Fairy" handed it to Zhou Yang, he introduced him very responsibly and said: "This exchange meeting is presided over by Duanmu Yong Daoyou of the Xuanding faction, as long as Zhou Daoyou holds the token in the night after tomorrow and goes to the cave where Duanmu Daoyou temporarily lives in the city, someone will bring Daoyou into the exchange venue." ”
"What the concubine needs to remind Zhou Daoyou is that this kind of exchange meeting is likely to involve Jindan monks temporarily, so if Daoyou and Jindan monks fall in love with a certain treasure at the exchange meeting, try not to compete with it!"
The Jindan period monks are also high-level monks, and it is not surprising that they appear at the exchange meeting dominated by the Purple Mansion period monks, after all, the Purple Mansion period monks are not unknown among the various forces, and they are likely to have the treasures that the Jindan period monks need.
On the contrary, it is a circle between the monks of the Yuan Infant Period, and it is difficult for the Jindan Stage Monks to squeeze into, because the things used by the Yuan Infant Stage Monks are too rare, and it is impossible for most Jindan Stage monks to get them.
Zhou Yang heard the reminder of the "Rue Fairy" at this time, and while his heart was in shock, he did not forget to thank him: "Thank you fairy for reminding me, Zhou understands what to do." ”
Two days passed in a flash.
As soon as it was nightfall, Zhou Yang rushed to the outside of the cave of Duanmu Yong, the organizer of the exchange meeting, with the token he got from the "Rue Fairy".
After he rushed to the outside of this cave, he used a little mana to stimulate the white jade wrench on his finger, and an invisible wave spread out from the white jade wrench.
Then the Cave Mansion Illusion in front of him was quickly swept away, revealing the true entrance to the Cave Mansion.
"There are a lot of visitors tonight, please forgive Duanmu Yong for not being able to greet them one by one, and the new Taoist friends follow the old man into the cave. ”
Qing Yue's loud voice came from the cave to Zhou Yang's ears, and the door of the cave opened to both sides in his eyes, and a half-human-tall golden monkey jumped out of it.
After the little golden monkey jumped out of the cave, he first looked around, and after seeing Zhou Yang, he quickly restrained his stubbornness, and bowed to him like a human monk, squeaked twice, and then waved his hand sideways at him, and made a "please" gesture, signaling him to follow him into the cave.
When Zhou Yang saw this scene, he was surprised at the same time, and at the same time, he couldn't help but praise loudly: "What a spiritual monkey!"
He couldn't see the origin of this golden monkey for a while, and the mana fluctuations emanating from his body were only second-order high-grade, and he should still be in his juvenile stage like his "Flying Leopard".
But in terms of spiritual wisdom, the golden monkey has at least thrown off the "Flying Divine Leopard" for a few streets, and it is not even inferior to some fourth-order demon beasts.
Although it is said that ape-like demon beasts are originally the "wise men" among demon beasts, it is extremely rare for a golden monkey to have such spirituality when he is cultivating at the second order.
In this case, Zhou Yang guessed that in addition to the extraordinary bloodline of the golden monkey itself, it should also be related to the fact that its owner Duanmu Yong fed it with a "Qiling Pill" and other enlightened spirit pills.
"Qi Ling Dan" is a fourth-order high-grade spirit pill, willing to feed this spirit pill to a second-order demon beast, although Zhou Yang has not seen this Duanmu Yong, but he has already seen this person's generosity from the side, which makes him look forward to today's exchange meeting a little more.
And after he followed the little golden monkey in the cave for a while, he soon saw the owner of the cave.
This is a spacious cave hall that can accommodate dozens of people to sit in it, and there are already twenty or thirty people sitting in the cave hall at this time, these people are men and women, old and young, but without exception they are all monks of the Purple Mansion Period.
And the little golden monkey that came in with Zhou Yang directly jumped behind a black-robed old man sitting cross-legged on the ground after entering the cave hall, and gently slapped the old man's back.
"The old man Xuanding faction Duanmu Yong is also the initiator of this exchange meeting, I don't know what this Taoist friend is called?
When Zhou Yang looked at the black-robed old man, the old man also looked at him with blazing eyes, and took the initiative to greet him.
When Zhou Yang heard this, a different color flashed in his eyes, but he arched his hand directly at the old man and said, "Zhou Yang has seen Duanmu Daoyou. ”
He didn't say where he came from, obviously he didn't want to say it, the old man in the black robe Duanmu Yong saw this, and he didn't force it anymore, but his attitude was obviously cold, and he glanced at him lightly and said: "It turned out to be Zhou Daoyou, the exchange meeting has not started yet, Daoyou please find a place to sit first." ”
After saying this, Duanmu Yong didn't look at Zhou Yang again, but his lips squirmed slightly, and he talked to some monks in the cave hall.
Zhou Yang's eyes swept over, and he found that there were quite a few monks who were talking to each other, and they were all monks he knew who were secretly talking about something.
Seeing this, he only thought about it slightly, and then he understood what the situation was.
Obviously, except for him and some monks, most of the monks who participated in this exchange meeting were monks who knew Duanmu Yong and had friendships.
It is likely that these people had met at certain exchange meetings before, and then gradually formed a circle of high-ranking monks, which might hold an exchange meeting every few years under the convening of a charismatic monk.
In order to make the exchange meeting sound and impressive, so as not to disappoint the participants, the organizer may spread the news of the exchange meeting through the circle of friends and invite other high-ranking monks to participate in it.
Duanmu Yong asked him about his origin just now, and if he answered in detail, the other party should regard him as an object that could be intersected, and if they had a pleasant conversation in the future, maybe they would be able to integrate into Duanmu Yong's circle of high-ranking monks.
And he was reluctant to answer, in Duanmu Yong's eyes, it was obviously a kind of rejection, so the other party naturally wouldn't bother to say anything to him anymore.
Thinking about all this, his mood quickly calmed down.
In a sense, Duanmu Yong was right, he really didn't have the idea of joining a certain high-level cultivator's circle for the time being.
This is not because he is not a person from the Immortal Cultivation Realm of Liuyun Continent, but because his participation in this exchange meeting was originally an accidental event.
In other words, he's here to exchange things, not to make friends.
If he really wants to make friends with high-level monks, he will have a chance in the future, and there is no need to rush to do this now when he even knows other people's names.
