Chapter Forty-Nine: Black as the Bottom of a Pot (Second Shift)

Xuyang looked at the towering city wall in front of him, the whole is built by cyan stones, the wall is covered with mottled traces of weapons, and the ancient city wall records the flow of time and the change of years, leaving a strong historical atmosphere.

On both sides of the city gate, which was dozens of feet wide, stood a row of guards wearing heavy helmets, carefully scanning every pedestrian entering and leaving.

After being checked, Sunrise and Phantom Ji entered the city. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, the various plaques are written about the purpose of the shops. There are teahouses, wine shops, inns, etc.

Phantom Ji pulled the rising sun who was looking east and west, and said happily: "The scenery at night is the most charming, and the various lighting formations will shine with different colors. There are also over-energetic aristocrats dancing on the streets, as well as selling all kinds of snacks, which is fun. ”

Xuyang listened to her introduction and asked curiously: "I have a question for you, do you know where there are ancient books for sale or viewing, the kind that record strange things in history." ”

Phantom Ji tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's a bit difficult, as far as I know, only the three major families in the city and the general's family will have this kind of book." Why do you ask this?"

"I'm just curious, I want to see what legends are in history?"

Phantom Ji glanced at him with a flirtatious face, and said, "You're so stupid, just go to the teahouse and find a storyteller, those big names are all in the minds of storytellers, you can throw a little money casually, you can listen to whatever you want." ”

Xuyang smiled bitterly and shook his head, most of the storytellers in this world exaggerate and distort the facts, and they can't be taken seriously at all.

He asked again, "Is the currency here also gold, spirit stones, or the like?"

"Gold? What is that? The common currency here is the Gathering Stone. ”

Xuyang listened to her words, took out a few spirit stones and an ingot of gold, and said in surprise: "Qi Gathering Stone?

Phantom Ji looked at the high-grade spirit stone in his hand, then looked at the ingot of gold, looked at him strangely, and said, "Where did you get these things? I don't see where you are hiding? And your knife and pet dog, your thin clothes can't hide so many things!"

"Did I ask you, or did you ask me? There are so many questions that I can't explain for a while. You answer my question first. ”

"Oh, these milky white stones are about the same as the Qi Gathering Stones, and as for this golden ...... I haven't seen it!"

Seeing that she didn't understand so much, Xuyang came to an armory shop, threw the spirit stone and gold on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Help me see if this thing is worth it, I want to buy your weapons and armor here." ”

After the shopkeeper saw the spirit stone, his eyes glowed green, and he quickly took the spirit stone and held it in his hand, with an intoxicated expression.

Seeing that he had stood still for a long time, as if he was absorbing the aura in the spirit stone, Xuyang couldn't help but slap the counter heavily, and said, "Hey, you old boy, dare to be greedy for my things, don't you want to live?"

One of the shopkeepers opened his eyes to see the big handprints on the counter, and saw the dark face of Xuyang showing a fierce expression. Hurriedly smiled and said, "Guest officer, I'm sorry! I've never seen this kind of strange qi gathering stone, and I don't mean to be greedy for ink." ”

After speaking, he reluctantly put the high-grade spirit stone back on the counter, and asked carefully: "Guest officer, do you still have this kind of qi gathering stone? You can choose the items in the small store at will, and the price is cheap!"

"Then how many Qi Gathering Stones can I exchange for you with this Qi Gathering Stone! This is also what I got by accident, and this is the only one. And is this ore worth anything?" asked Xuyang at the end, pointing to the gold.

The shopkeeper took the gold, sensed it carefully, and found that there was no aura storage, and pinched it hard, and shallow traces appeared on the gold.

He shook his head and said: "This ore is worthless, the material is too soft, and it can't make weapons, at most make some decorations, this store doesn't want this kind of thing." It's your Qi Gathering Stone, and I'm willing to exchange it for ten Qi Gathering Stones with you. ”

Xuyang pouted and said, "Take out your ten Qi Gathering Stones, and the master will change them." ”

After hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out ten cyan irregular stones from the drawer, held them in both hands and handed them over.

Xuyang grabbed it in his hand, his divine sense swept over the inside of the Qi Gathering Stone, sensed the mottled chaotic aura inside, shook his head speechlessly and shouted angrily: "This kind of garbage thing is not even a special low-grade spirit stone, you profiteer is impatient, right?"

The shopkeeper saw that he was angry, and waved his hand again and again: "Guest officer, this is the best gathering stone in this store." However, all kinds of mines are in the hands of the general, and he has better wind crystals and fire spirit stones there. I heard that there are also superb Five Elements Immortal Stones in the Imperial City!"

Xuyang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Since there are Five Elements Crystals, there must also be Soul Stones for testing, right?" Otherwise, how would you know that you are suitable for that kind of attribute?" ”

"You're talking about the Soul Measuring Pillar, right? Expensive, though!"

"Oh, show me it!" Xuyang said curiously.

"Wait a minute, officer!"

The shopkeeper ran to the inner hall, and after a while took out a long box and placed it on the counter.

Xuyang opened it and saw that there was a jade pillar lying flat inside, engraved with an unknown formation rune.

He looked at the pillar and asked, "How do you use this thing?"

The shopkeeper said: "After holding both hands, and pouring the power into it, you can display five colors, white, blue, black, red, and yellow, corresponding to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!"

After hearing this, Xuyang understood the color of the five elements. He pointed to the Spirit Pillar and asked, "How many Qi Gathering Stones?" I bought them. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he said, "Ten thousand Qi Gathering Stones, if you use this Qi Gathering Stone, five hundred will be sold to you." ”

"Rub, you profiteer, you want five hundred high-grade spirit stones for this broken pillar, why don't you grab it?" Xuyang said angrily.

The shopkeeper smiled again and again: "This is a high-grade spirit stone? Well, it's quite appropriate? Three hundred yuan, it can't be less." ”

Xuyang glared at him fiercely, and with a wave of his big hand, a pile of spiritual stones overflowing with spiritual energy suddenly appeared on the table, and he picked up the long box and turned around and left. I'm afraid that I'll stay for a long time, and I can't help but smash his profiteer's face.

The shopkeeper regretted in his heart, "I didn't expect to be a master, I even have storage equipment, and the asking price is too low!"

Under the leadership of Phantom Ji, Xuyang came to a remote alley and walked into a small courtyard.

He squinted slightly and glanced at the three green brick and green tile houses, each with an ear room next to it, which presumably were the kitchen and utility room. In the middle courtyard is a stone table the size of a millstone.

Phantom Ji shouted, "Little Red, I'm back, go make some food, I'm starving!"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old maidservant girl walked out of the hall, looked at Xuyang who was following behind Phantom Hime, and trotted to Phantom Hime's side with a look of surprise in her eyes.

"Miss, where have you gone? I said that I would go to Xiaoxie, but I disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Miss Liu couldn't wait for you, so she brought me back. ”

Xuyang said secretly: "This maid is weird, her master is lost, she doesn't look for it, she doesn't say anything, and she follows others back to the city directly." The faithful, even if they do not seek it, should wait where they are. ”

Phantom Ji waved her hand and said, "Don't mention it, a mist surged up when I was relieved, and I got lost." Later, I met the black-faced brother, well, the black brother! He brought me back, go and make food for me, starve me to death!"

Xuyang was extremely dissatisfied with her calling herself Brother Hei, but she had nothing to refute, the damn thunder and lightning split him like this, where could he reason with him.

He walked to the utility room, turned back and said, "I'll go and rest first, don't come and disturb me." ”

Before Phantom Ji could speak, she saw Xuyang walk in and whispered timidly, "How is this good? ”

After Xuyang entered the house, his eyes were wide and he looked at everything inside, and the room was full of clothes as thin as cicada wings, red, blue, and green colors, and some were almost hollow and transparent.

Phantom Ji followed to the room, and saw the big black carbon demon staring at the clothes above, and there were wisps of burning fire in his eyes.

Her scream almost broke through the sky, pointing at Xuyang and scolding: "Becoming too much, voyeurism ......"

Xuyang looked at Phantom Ji in embarrassment, and hurriedly withdrew from the house. muttered: "This, what the hell is going on? ”

Phantom Ji hurriedly cleaned up and ran back to the main room with a large pile of underwear in her arms, leaving behind an angry voice.

"Voyeur and black pot bottom, you are not allowed to enter the main room, that storage room is your residence, fuck off..."

Xuyang touched his nose in embarrassment, and walked in again, the red and willow green flowers in the room were gone, and only a table and chair remained.

After he took out the Spirit Pillar, he held it with both hands and slowly exercised it.

"Well, why didn't you react? It can't be bad, right? I'm afraid that my talent is outstanding, so I didn't dare to test it in the armory shop, could it be that the profiteer sold me a fake?"

Xuyang muttered in his mouth, and those who did not believe in evil continued to increase their strength, and slowly, ten colors and five lights appeared on the spirit pillar, but they disappeared and fell silent.

"Mud and hemp, what kind of, how can there be so many colors?"

Xuyang cursed, pouring the vitality of his whole body into it, and the silent spirit pillar burst with ten colors, and the room full of various colors was strange.

Xuyang looked at the various colors in amazement, and then countless cracks appeared on the Spirit Pillar.

"Oh no, it's going to burst......"

Before he could react, the Spirit Pillar burst into a dull sound, turning into an inky frenzy.

"Sleep~ groove!"

Xuyang's entire body was rendered with thick ink as black as the bottom of a pot. The already black face was as black as the bottom of a pot at the moment, leaving only two rows of snow-bright teeth and angry eyes.

"Ahem~Ahem......"

He jumped out of the house, just in time to see Phantom Ji run out when he heard the sound.

"Hahaha...... Ha ......"

Phantom Ji held her belly with one hand, pointed at the rising sun with the other, and almost fell down with wild laughter.

"You...... Are you drilled to ...... Is it in the coal pile~...... No, let me ~ laugh for a while!"

Xuyang had the heart to kill, he took out the dragon sword and shone it at himself, the facial features on his thick face were distorted, and he shouted angrily: "What kind of rotten goods are the profiteers selling to labor and capital......"
