Volume 1 The Story of Asama Chapter 6 The First Meeting of the Spirit Cage
The old man became solemn.
Breathing steadily, he shook the gilt jade bracelet in his left hand, this thing looks like a special storage bag, a rubbing charm appeared in his hand out of thin air, and quickly pasted all over the stone Pixiu's body, and I don't know where to take out a bottle of mysterious orange liquid, sprayed on it, a sour smell came to the nose, filling the entire room, fortunately, the gold system soundproof magic circle also has a certain odor isolation effect, otherwise it is estimated that the entire inn will be filled with this choking atmosphere.
A moment later, the rubbings were covered with black patterns, including Pixiu's own ornaments, all of which were imprinted on the talismans, except for the lack of flickering breath.
Unveiling the opening seal, Pixiu has not changed much.
"Are you rubbing this Soul Sealing Array?
"No, I'll sell it, I'm not interested in formations, this thing is worth two second-order. The old man seemed a little proud when he said this, after all, a few rubbing talismans were only worth half a first order.
"You lied to me just now, this formation is worth one second-order, how can it become two now?"
"Ha," the old man carefully put away the rubbing, not daring to have a trace of wrinkles, "that's because you don't know how to do it, and you can't find a suitable buyer." Look hereβ" The old man pointed to his head.
"What?" Jiang Feng looked up, except that the old man's hair was a little gray and his cheekbones were a little high, just like a passerby's armor, there was nothing special.
"Knowledge is wealth. β
Poof-
The two of them laughed at the same time, but Jiang Feng really wanted to slap him, wanted to slap him hard, although he was not good at fighting, Jiang Feng believed that most of the other party's battles were also at the level of the five scum of battle, and his actual cultivation was one realm higher than the other party.
"Let's go on," the old man also realized that the air was a little cold. The demonic power continued to emerge, like a strong wind stirring up the robes, and the body seemed to become blurred, and the chaotic black qi that continued to gush out gradually enveloped the whole body, and a fist-sized purple eye gradually emerged on his forehead and between his eyebrows.
The purple pupils slowly turned, carefully staring at every detail on Pixiu's body, until it seemed to lock on a position, and the forbidden breaking charm that the old man's right hand had already prepared slapped towards Pixiu's eyes.
Crackle β
With the crisp sound of stone breaking, Pixiu's eyes instantly burst out of a small flame, and the other Pixiu also shattered at the same time, it seems that although the two formations are exactly the same, but in terms of design, they are actually chained, and they are all damaged, and they do not need to be broken one by one.
The black smoke cleared, and the old man's figure returned to normal, and he quickly found two thumb-sized beads from the broken Pixiu pieces, near his eyes.
One red and one green, crystal clear, I can't see what the material is, but it's a little cold to the hand, heavier than expected.
"This isβ" Jiang Feng couldn't see what the use of this thing was.
"Broken Delusion Crystal. The old man explained, sounding like he had a certain study of it, "Appearing in pairs, it will record everything that happens around you for a period of time, red will record images, green will record sounds, and the person who made this thing can combine them into one, refine them into a complete delusion crystal, and see what is happening, and the reason why it is also called delusion is because illusions are useless to it." β
Hiss β
Jiang Feng gasped, counting from the day of the treasure theft, he had checked this pair of Pixiu no less than five times, except for the first time, he had been looking at it closely for a long time, in his own sect, he had not changed his appearance and concealed any sound, so to speak, wouldn't this pair of delusional crystals in Pixiu completely record all his information, and if this thing fell into the hands of others, wouldn't he be completely exposed?
His eyes became cold, and this old man seemed to be unable to stay.
"Your breath has changed. The old man didn't feel nervous at all, "I'll tell you, I'm talking about the rules." He took off the mask, Jiang Feng originally thought that the old face did not have the slightest wrinkles, judging from the light-colored marks on the back of the mask, this mask he often wore on his face, and he did not take it off often.
"This can be regarded as open and honest, my name is Ni Dabao, and they all call me Ni Lao. The old man said as he inspected the Delusion Crystal, "This thing wasn't yours originally, or even though it's yours now, you're worried because you've accidentally been recorded." This kind of thing is indeed rare in our demon realm, because we have a convenient means of monitoring such as the Weeping Beast, and we don't need this at all, but the Broken Delirium Crystal also has advantages, it has no breath of life, and it is difficult to be discovered. β
"As you say, this thing wasn't originally mine. Jiang Feng said, "But it belongs to me now, so I plan to take it back and keep it well." β
What are you kidding, this thing can't fall into the hands of someone with a heart.
"Don't be nervous," Old Man Ni said, "The things recorded here are of no value to me, I can eliminate it for free, as long as you promise to sell it to me." β
"How can I trust you?"
"With this. Old man Ni took out a silver key, this key has a big head, and a very small body, more like a simple disc, and a smiling face that looks a little weird on it, "Do you know this?"
"Spirit Cage Silver Member?"
"Spirit Cage" is one of the big chambers of commerce active in the surrounding demon clans such as Lizong, Red Dragon Gate, and Yufeng Sect, they are on the edge of crime, but they often do some good things, and they are quite reputable in doing things, so they have a good reputation among the people, judging from the smiling face on the key, the old man Ni is a senior member of the spirit cage "Yixiao Tang", and the Yixiao Hall is a branch of the spirit cage, which is used to deal with the affairs on the "white road", on the contrary, if the key is a crying face, it is the person of the "Hundred Ghost Hall", which is used to deal with the "underworld" Because the spirit cage also has a lot of influence in a small sect like the Ashala Mountain Sect, how can Jiang Feng, as the head of the sect, not know, but they have little intersection with a monk with an "official" status like himself.
If the identity of the other party is true, then it is indeed worth believing.
"How much do you give?"
"Thirty pieces of the second order. β
"Sixty. Although this price was already quite expensive, Jiang Feng was also shocked in his heart, this value was far beyond the wealth he had in hand now, and when he counted all kinds of assets in the sect's treasury, the wealth he could control at hand was no more than ten second-order pieces.
I'm so poor.
"Theoretically worth the price. Old man Ni said, "But for a monk like you, I can only offer this price." We have always done things fairly......"
Jiang Feng let go of the confinement in his body, and a mysterious-level aura was instantly revealed.
"Oh, it's a senior. "Monks have always decided on cultivation as their rank, and Jiang Feng's Xuan-level cultivation naturally overshadowed Old Man Ni's spiritual level, but he didn't look panicked.
"Forty pieces of the second order. "The price looks a little more sincere.
"Well, for the price. Jiang Feng didn't want to continue to raise the price, although revealing the token of the head of the Ashala Mountain Sect might be able to gain more "friendship prices", but it was obviously not worth exposing his identity, and in this delusional crystal, his own secrets were still recorded. "But you have to remove the information from it first. β
"This is natural. Old man Ni said, "We don't care about these things. It's still easy to remove. Demonic power poured out of his palm, and he threw a second-order fire-type spirit stone into it, and a violent fire-type spiritual energy was directly poured into the two delirium breaking crystals, and soon, the luster of the two crystals became dim, and they looked like ordinary gems.
"It's already in a clean state, and you have to use a special technique to infuse the aura, but it's not our problem. Old man Ni stretched out his hand and handed over the delusional crystal, "Do you want to check it?"
"No need. Jiang Feng didn't have this means of judgment, so naturally he wouldn't check whether Old Man Ni had removed the image in it, with this lesson, the next time he stole the treasure, Jiang Feng would have to keep an eye on it. "Then let's talk about the issue of spirit stones, forty second-order. β
"Ha-" Old Man Ni put away the delusional crystal and said unhurriedly, "But we don't have spirit stones." β
Rub β
Jiang Feng instantly had an impulse, wanting to press the old man Ni to the ground and beat him up, what price do you quote without a spirit stone, which made Lao Tzubai happy for a long time, thinking that he could turn over and get rich, but the spirit cage silver membership token is real, thinking that the old man still has a background and reputation, and he will not do such a stupid thing, so he said coldly:
"And what can you pay?"
"Friendship, and what else you need. He took out a bronze token, the same style as his own silver token, and spread it out in front of Jiang Feng.
"This discount is ten second-order. Old man Ni said, "Our spirit cage is still a little thin, and sometimes taking out this token will have some effect." If you can get together three bronze tokens, you'll have one silver token just like me. β
"You're doing a good business. Jiang Feng put away the token and looked at it carefully, although he didn't admit in his heart that this token could be worth ten second-order - if he could choose for himself, then he would definitely choose the spirit stone, he really needed the spirit stone too much to solve the financial dilemma of the sect - but he had to accept this estimate, this token was not something that could be obtained at any time if he wanted to, it seemed that this old man Ni was in the spirit cage, not a simple silver member.
But it's none of Jiang Feng's business.
"In addition, there are thirty second-order pieces, which can be seen according to your needs. β
"Can it be a spirit stone?"
"Naturally not. Old man Ni smiled, "I'm sorry, because of some special reasons, we are also short of spirit stones now." It can only be what you need. β
"I want a way to earn spirit stones, for example, I can earn sixty second-order in a year, I don't think this is too much, compared to getting thirty second-order right away, this interest is not much. β
