Chapter 988: The Deal Comes to the Door
Su Aotian walked on the vast earth, and just like when he first arrived in the spirit world, he became alone again.
However, the mood at this moment is very different from that time. When he was in the spirit realm, his heart was full of hope, and although his friends were not heard from, they firmly believed that there would be a day when they would meet again, and at this moment, everyone was in a serious situation of life and death, and even he could not be sure if he would live to meet again.
However, no matter how difficult the future is, he will never give up, and he will never admit defeat until the day his life ends!
In his heart, Su Aotian silently encouraged himself, suppressed his sad and desperate mood, and worked hard to move forward.
Day after day, year after year, he gradually integrated himself into the lives of the immortals, settling in a remote and secret place, exploring the secrets in the deep mountains and valleys, competing with the immortal beasts for natural treasures, and trading with others with the fruits of his desperate efforts in exchange for his own needs.
There is only one thing he wants to trade, and that is the exercises.
At the beginning of his cultivation, Master told him that there was no such thing as good or bad exercises, and that it only depended on whether the cultivation reached home. As long as the cultivation is reached, the self-energy will decay into magic, and no matter how lowly the exercises are displayed from the hands of powerful people, they will have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and a person who has cultivated to a stubborn and unbearable level will not be the slightest threat if he holds the most miraculous exercises.
Although this is the case, the quality of the exercises is not completely useless, and the most significant effect is that it can shorten the time spent on cultivation. For the immortals, everyone has countless leisurely years to squander, and time is not a problem, but for Su Aotian now, time is too urgent, and there is no room for slackness.
Whether it is for humans or beasts, the experience gained from actual combat is only one aspect; straightening out the clues in the exercises, getting to the root of the problem, and advancing in an orderly manner is another aspect. The combination of the two and corroborating each other can be improved faster. After thinking about it for a long time, Su Aotian felt that his current self had accumulated more than enough in actual combat perception, but lacked guidance in cultivation methods.
The several exercises he practiced by himself played a great role in his own improvement at that time, but at this point, they are basically useless. Except for a copy of the "Hundred Herbs Divine Wood Recipe", which was given by the master, and although the supernatural powers recorded were not outstanding, the germinating qi could be used at any time, so they were always with him, and the rest had been abandoned.
Therefore, Su Aotian decided to find a few exercises to study and see how people in the fairy world perceive heaven and earth and use supernatural powers.
After experiencing several large gatherings on the beach and other places, he found that on such occasions, it was impossible to trade rare resources, and the things brought by the immortals could not be regarded as ordinary, but they did not have much value, at most there were some things that were not of high grade, but they were not common, and they just met someone's urgent needs. To be able to find such a treasure, even if you are satisfied, it is not in vain.
The items he snatched from the barren mountains and rivers under the noses of the immortal beasts were rare in this kind of bazaar, and the exercises he wanted to trade had never been seen here. The immortals were very puzzled, because Su Aotian's request was very simple, as long as it was an exercise, whether it was good or bad, regardless of attributes, just give him a rough glance, and if he felt that it could be used, he could trade it.
The exercises are all secrets that are not passed on, and all kinds of magic secrets are of course not seen by ordinary people, only those powerful family sects will have this kind of thing, such people belong to the existence of legends, how can they show up in these places that belong to the lower levels of the fairy world;
Besides, even if you are bent on buying exercises, it must also suit your own spiritual root attributes, like him, what kind of exercises are you going to do? Are you still a gifted Heavenly Spirit Root physique with all five elements, ready to achieve the position of emperor? Or do you plan to build a place like a martial arts hall to collect exercises for auction?
However, the things he took out were basically rare things, such as a piece of aquatic grass picked by the mouth of the giant turtle at the bottom of the pool, which turned out to be the rhizome of the dragon's beard Mo Yulian, which was eaten by the water tribe, but it could turn into a dragon. Of course, this is only possible, eating one or two hundred catties may really be able to turn into a dragon, but what year, month, from where and where, can you get enough of these two hundred catties?
But this is definitely a rare treasure for the water spirit root attribute, where the dragon beard Mo Yulian grows, there are strong fairy beasts to guard, ordinary people who have his unbeatable body, the spirit of the heavens, and the courage to die to grab food? Just like the unfathomable coercive breath of the giant turtle, the immortals also have to retreat, he even dared to dive to the bottom of the pool to try its power, the giant turtle did not bite him to death, he was already considered lucky.
This baby has aroused many people to salivate, and they want to trade with him stubbornly, softly, and hard, and they do not hesitate to take out all their belongings, but there is no exercise, Su Aotian's answers are simple and clear, and there is no need to talk about it.
Finally, one day, when he came to the market again to set up a stall, a Taoist came to him.
This person is dressed elegantly and cleanly, his hair is combed bare and recognizable, carefully tied into a neat bun, pinned with an ebony hairpin, three long beards under his chin, and a white jade whisk in his hand.
He looked through Su Aotian's belongings, especially the rhizome of the dragon beard ink jade lotus, and then said: "These items of immortal friends are worthy of the word precious, so they are not afraid of attracting right and wrong if they blatantly put on a posture to trade?"
Of course, Su Aotian had considered these questions, every time he dispersed in the bazaar, he would change his spirit, and the ghost would unconsciously become another person, so that others could not follow and rob even if they wanted to, and he was naturally safe.
The words of the Taoist were meaningful, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a kind reminder or a suspicious one, Su Aotian glanced at him and said noncommittally: "Immortal friends have exercises to trade?"
The Taoist said: "Ordinary martial arts immortal friends must not be able to see it, but the magic cheats themselves do not have it, and they can only look at the treasures of immortal friends and covet them." However, I know that there is a place where I may be able to exchange for what the fairy friends want. ”
Su Aotian couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, he now had an urgent request for the exercises, so that he didn't know what the intentions of this person were, so he had the urge to go with him.
He quickly calmed down and asked rhetorically, "What is the purpose of Immortal Friends telling me this?"
The Taoist smiled slightly: "Naturally, I have my intentions." I can take Xianyou to this place, of course, I need Xianyou to promise me some conditions. ”
Su Aotian pondered for a while and said, "Can you please tell the immortal friend in detail?" ”
Dao Daodao: "Immortal friends can set off with me, and talk in detail on the way, how about it?"
The aura on this Taoist is also an immortal, but it is much stronger than Su Aotian, and after sending out the invitation, he is still thinking that he will refuse, and he is ready to say the next step. However, Su Aotian was not afraid, just thought about it for a while, and then agreed: "Okay." To the surprise of this man, he couldn't help but look at him more closely.
Su Aotian quickly put away his things and left the bazaar with the Taoist. Over the years, Su Aotian has also gained a reputation in the market, and some people have a look of envy and jealousy on their faces when they see him leave with this person, as if they know what they are going to do.
The immortals moved quickly and soon left the bustling bazaar far away. The road was empty, and the Taoist said, "Immortal friends must have discovered that in such a bazaar, it is impossible to exchange for what you want." However, everyone, even if he is the Emperor of Heaven, cannot take everything in the world for himself, so the transaction is imperative for everyone. Like Immortal Friends, if you want to exchange for something rare, you can't get it in the bazaar, but it's not like nowhere to trade. ”
Su Aotian has roughly understood that what this person is talking about should be some non-public small trade fairs and the like.
Most of these transactions were initiated by some advanced cultivators, because they were strong and powerful, so the chances and levels of obtaining treasures were far higher than those of ordinary people, so naturally they would not be brought to a place like a bazaar. And such occasions, for the sake of security and privacy, are generally carried out in a small range, and it is difficult for strangers to intervene, unless there is a referral from a trusted person, and then slowly get acquainted with it, in order to integrate into this circle. This Taoist should be a frequent visitor here, so he dared to take Su Aotian with him.
Su Aotian asked, "Oh, there is such a good thing, the immortal friend took me there, shouldn't it be completely out of enthusiasm?"
The Taoist smiled: "Immortal friends speak cheerfully, so I'll say it directly." I do have some things I want, and when you exchange them for exercises, if possible, please exchange them for me, and then I will take other treasures and trade them with you. ”
Su Aotian completely understood that this person was in a hurry because he didn't have good things in his hands and couldn't exchange them for the items he urgently needed, so he made his idea, wanting to introduce himself to this small trade fair in exchange for his promise to trade treasures for him.
This is not a difficult thing, but whether the transaction can be successful is not unilaterally up to oneself, and the other party will resolutely refuse to allow it, and he cannot rob himself, and it is also his own business to rob.
So he agreed, secretly thinking in his heart that it was best for this person to tell the truth, and this was the idea. If he lies and tricks him into the trap to kill people and seize treasures, then it is no wonder that he fights back and kills, that is, he has no scruples and peace of mind.
