People live for a lifetime, and to do that line of work, they must have the consciousness of that line, which is the common characteristic of smart people or great wise people.

For example, a person who likes to lie must be aware of the responsibility for his lies.

As the saying goes: Before the soldiers and horses move, they want to lose first.

Now it seems that this principle can be used in any line. And Dugu Yangming can be said to be gifted in this aspect, and he is self-taught. Much higher than his talent in cultivation.

This time, he was rambling again, and the purpose was only to delay a little. Because he thought about the behavior and skills of some people in the True Martial Palace, he had long been convinced that the disciples in the Three Palaces were probably a lot higher than the disciples in the Nine Palaces. Therefore, when he really faced the disciple of the Divine Dragon Palace, one of the three palaces, this was even more undoubted.

For example, Bai Yang and his people, compared with the six people, everyone is a new disciple, but Bai Yang has already reached the peak of the Ning Yuan Realm, and he faintly wants to break through to the divine realm, which is a microcosm of the internal strength gap between the three palaces and the nine palaces.

Why did he dare to lie? Because he was an insecure person, a person who had a deep understanding of the situation of his sect. The purpose is also very simple, his behavior is nothing more than to maximize his chances of survival, and that's it.

When the six of them left the Golden Vortex Mountain, Dugu Yangming explained to the six of them:

One is that you must not go to Dragon City, but to Lucheng, another famous city. If you go to Dragon City, there will definitely be old friends waiting for you, and it will be difficult to deal with trouble.

The second is that after entering Lucheng, they will act separately and freely. Three days later, I saw you outside the teleportation circle in the southeast of Lucheng. This article is also in line with the new rules proposed by the six people in the belly of the snake, and the five people have no objection. After all, people rely on people, they can't always rely on people, and they always have to face difficulties alone.

Third, it is recommended that everyone rest more and move less. Moreover, it is best to find an opportunity to use all those hibiscus spirit crystals and not take them with you. To put it bluntly, it is to let everyone not be poor and have nothing to do, just rest and recuperate in peace. As for inquiring about what has happened, it is a matter of delay.

In other words, Dugu Yangming came to Fengyunxuan in the north of Lucheng City, paid for three days in advance, and directly ordered Xiao Er to send the wine and food to the room.

Fengyunxuan is one of the five ancient stores, and its internal strength is unfathomable. Therefore, in the next two days, Dugu Yangming rested very steadily, completely eliminating the internal and external fatigue accumulated in the past four months.

During this period, a detailed list of the use of that windfall was planned. This is probably his innate ability, and he can always be the first to detect potential dangers around him. Yes, I always feel that the hibiscus spirit crystal of the mysterious eldest lady will bring death to herself.

On the third day, I left the store early in the morning and went straight to the Yuan Shi Pavilion. He handed over the list he had compiled to the shopkeeper, who carefully calculated it and said with a smile: "If you follow the spiritual materials listed in the list of distinguished guests, it will only take a quarter of an hour for the store to prepare them all." And the spirit crystals spent, a total of eight thousand spirit crystals. ”

"No problem!" Dugu Yangming replied with a big grin, and thought to himself: "Eight thousand spirit crystals, that is to say, only sixteen hibiscus spirit crystals were spent, and there are fifteen spirit crystals left, what should I do!"

Just thinking about it, the shopkeeper had already prepared the spiritual materials and asked Dugu Yangming to inspect the goods. Dugu Yangming's list is full of alchemy spiritual materials, mainly the spiritual materials required for the third-grade and fourth-grade pills that he has. There is also a small part, which is the main material of several second-order elixirs.

After checking it according to his list, he said in a deep voice: "Thank you, store!"

At this time, the store pressed lightly behind the counter, and there was an extra round hole on the counter, which was enough to put a crystal bead. This design not only ensures that the visitor's wealth is not exposed, but also can detect the fineness of spirit crystals or crystal beads or other things that can be traded through the magic weapon refined by the mighty man.

Dugu Yangming was no stranger to this, so he took out sixteen hibiscus spirit crystals and put them into the hole. Only then did he put all the spiritual materials back into his wishful belt.

Xin Dao: "With so many spiritual materials, I will definitely be able to successfully refine those seven kinds of spiritual elixirs (three kinds of three grades and four kinds of four grades). But the spiritual materials for refining the array are still not found, and this matter can't be too explicit. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel annoyed for a while, and slowly walked out of the store.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the back hall of the Yuan Shi Pavilion, approached the shopkeeper just now, and said softly: "This young master, it's a little interesting, spending the hibiscus spirit crystal, it's not distressing at all." ”

The shopkeeper replied very respectfully and said, "Shopkeeper, are you saying that the origin of this spirit crystal is very strange?"

"No, no!" The middle-aged man who was called the shopkeeper denied it repeatedly, and just said lightly: "For us, it's just business, how did the spirit crystal or spiritual material of the honorable guest come from, and what does it have to do with us?

"Definitely not, most of them will be hidden and used slowly. With this spirit crystal," Lao Gu sneered, "Shopkeeper, you have always been famous for your love, could it be that you are interested in this young man?"

"Troublesome, you old slippery head!" the shopkeeper said angrily, and soon turned his face again, and said in a low voice: "But it doesn't hurt to know which sect he is a disciple!"

Dugu Yangming walked out of the Yuan Shi Pavilion, and after turning around, he came to Lingxiao Hall. Seeing the prosperous scene of the flow of passengers, I couldn't help but sigh: "I just went to the Yuan Shi Pavilion, and the people are still sparse." With this touch of effort, people flocked to Hongmeng's most famous store like a tide. It can be seen that today is a prosperous era of cultivation, and it is not a lie. ”

I finally waited in line until I was ready, so I hurriedly asked the shopkeeper: "Excuse me, does your store have a high-quality Ruyi Dharma instrument set?"

"Haha!" the shopkeeper smiled heartily and replied, "The honorable guest is the right one." So he explained them one by one. This Ruyi Dharma instrument set is only divided into upper, middle and lower three products, and the main styles are boxes, boxes, bags, cages, and so on. Among them, only the lower product has a time limit and a use period of five years. In terms of price, the top grade is worth 2,000 spirit crystals, the middle grade is worth 800 spirit crystals, and the lower grade is worth 200 spirit crystals. This price, even if it is the spirit crystals needed for the next grade, is a lot of money.

And the Ruyi Dharma Instrument Set has always been unpopular or biased. Not to mention anything else, their own value alone has already surpassed the value of many magic weapons themselves. Moreover, the monks in Hongmeng are like crossing the river, like the sky full of stars, but there are probably still very few monks who really have magic weapons above the third order. And if a monk can possess a third-order or higher magic weapon, why should he use a magic weapon set?

After waiting for the shopkeeper to explain the reason one by one, Dugu Yangming groaned slightly and said, "I want a top-grade Ruyi magic instrument set." Bother the shopkeeper, get me a box-type and a backpack-type one. The more elaborate, the better. ”

The shopkeeper responded, and when he didn't wait long, he smiled and took out a box and a backpack, and said, "According to the rules, distinguished guests can only look at the appearance, not the inside." The truth of this, presumably the young man understands. ”

Dugu Yangming looked at the two very delicate magic weapons, a little dazzled, and suddenly felt very beautiful, and after a while, he said, "I want this little back." As he spoke, he placed the four hibiscus spirit crystals into the round hole on the counter as before. Pick up the little backache and go.

Walking slowly on the flowery streets of Lucheng, the spiritual crystal atmosphere exuded from the ancient city is so distinct. Yes, in a 10,000-year-old city like this, every inch of land in the core area is paved with countless spirit crystals. Although Lucheng and Juancheng are both famous cities second only to the nine famous cities of Hongmeng, when they come to this field, the atmosphere and customs of the two famous cities are unique.

Dugu Yang Ming pondered again and again: "Among the four major chambers of commerce, only the Immortal Society sells Dao methods within the third order, and my two Dao methods have been cultivated to perfection, and I just need to cultivate new Dao methods." Anyway, in the sect, you also need to buy spirit crystals. Then it doesn't hurt to go to the Immortal Society. ”

In fact, in his mind, there was still an unspeakable question, why would the immortals sell Dao Dharma recipes? You must know that the most inconspicuous first- and second-order Dao methods among the various sects and sects were all the result of the predecessors' virtuous abilities and repeated deliberations and improvements. The Taoism of a faction can be said to be one of the most important indicators of its internal strength.

For example, the famous mountain occupied by the Three Palaces and Nine Palaces is where the spiritual veins in Hongmeng are located, but this is only an external cause that everyone has. In the case of comparable external factors, it is naturally the internal factors that determine the upper limit of the sect. This also proves from the side that it is not for nothing that some small factions will suddenly become famous and quietly quit.

When I was thinking about it, I had come to the Immortal Club, and I waited for a while before waiting for an idle shopkeeper. The shopkeeper asked with a smile: "If the young man needs anything, you might as well say it directly." ”

Dugu Yangming said straight to the point: "May I ask the store, does your store sell the Dao method of the third order and below? If so, what is the price, can you tell me below!"

The shopkeeper nodded slightly and explained in detail. The Dao method for sale by the Immortal Society, in the seven attribute classifications, there is no Dao method of gold and wood. In addition, except for the higher price, the rest are no different from the three palaces and nine halls. In terms of price, it is only two hundred spirit crystals more than those of the twelve factions, which is already very generous.

Dugu Yang Mingming: "There are two hundred more spirit crystals, that is to say, the third-order Dao method of the Immortal Society needs two thousand spirit crystals." I still have eleven hibiscus crystals left. Then he said: "Shopkeeper, I'll buy a third-order Dao method of the wind system!"

"Young man, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper turned around and entered the back hall, and after a long time, he walked out with a smile on his face and handed Dugu Yangming a thin book.

Dugu Yangming opened it and looked at it, and scolded in his heart: "Is it a foreign product!" The Taoist catalog in the sect, at least there is some detailed explanation, this broken thing of the Immortal Society, only a smooth ranking word. In this world, who can know how many levels of Dao this is based on the name? Damn it, it's just a bully!"

So, after reading it carefully, he said loudly: "Okay! Young Master Ben is going to have this Storm Moon Technique." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "According to the rules, after the customer chooses, he needs to pay half of the spirit crystal first." As he spoke, he opened the settings on the counter, and Dugu Yangming didn't think much about it, and took out two hibiscus spirit crystals and put them inside. The shopkeeper picked up the booklet and turned to the back hall again, this time much faster, and soon walked out with a silk booklet about eight pages thick. After Dugu Yangming paid the other half, he handed it over.

And instructed: "As we all know, no one knows how many of the three levels of the Dao method of this association have to reach perfection. However, its cultivation difficulty is far above that of the same level Dao method of the twelve sects, and its power is ....... Hehe, not much more. I wish Shaoxia a speedy completion of his cultivation. ”

"Hmph, it is expected that your business in this area will definitely not be very good!" Dugu Yangming rolled his eyes and glared at this person, put the booklet into the Ruyi belt, slowly walked out of the store, and said in his heart: "At this point, I really have nothing to buy or buy." He smiled again and said to himself: "I used to be poor, and I couldn't spend if I wanted to." Now I can't get enough of it. What kind of world is this? ”

After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "It's still not enough to spend! Many of the high-level spiritual materials I want can only be thought about." "It's no wonder that although thirty-one hibiscus spirit crystals are extremely wealthy, it is still far from enough to buy spiritual materials above the fifth order. And for now, the most practical thing is naturally the extremely well-prepared third-order and fourth-order spiritual materials, which are the first choice.

After thinking about it, he went to Taibai Mansion again, and spent five hibiscus spirit crystals again to buy the spiritual materials needed for his alchemy. And by the way, I bought the signature wine of the three gourd Taibai Building-Venus Emperor Eagle, and I paid for a hibiscus spirit crystal.

Dugu Yangming realized that it was already appropriate, so he returned to Fengyunxuan. First, he used his divine sense and spiritual power to open the small back, only to see that it was divided into eight areas, each of which was about half the size of his own cave. Among them, two pieces are horizontal, long, and do not have a magic weapon holder, which should be prepared for magic weapons such as spears. The remaining six pieces all have ritual racks of various sizes. Dugu Yangming put all the magic weapons and spirit blades he carried with him neatly inside, and even the Ruyi beast cage was also packed inside. Bags, etc., are also packed properly.

sighed: "This magic weapon set, it's really unjust to buy it." In terms of storage space, it is larger than the mid-level Ruyi device, but it is less than one-tenth of the high-level Ruyi device. In addition, if you think about it carefully, it is difficult for the monks in the Hongmeng room to obtain high-level magic weapons. If you get it by chance, it's too late to show off, who will hide and tuck it. You must know that the grade of the magic weapon you wear with you is a symbol of the monk's status. ”

At this moment, estimating that the time was almost up, he first went downstairs to have a full meal, and inquired about the way to the southeast teleportation circle.

After leaving Fengyun Xuan, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and walked straight towards the teleportation circle. After passing through a few sections of the street, the road turned into a square market. The location of this fang market is very special, and it is located in the three areas where the inner and outer cities are connected, so it can be said that it occupies the best geographical advantage. The number of wanderers in the market is no less than that of the branches of the four major chambers of commerce, and it seems that there are more.

This is mainly due to the teleportation circle ten miles away. Some monks who are waiting to ride the teleportation circle will come here to dig for it, and if they are lucky, it is not surprising that they can take away a few high-level spiritual materials or other things. Moreover, there are also real things that have happened.

Looking at the splattering and bargaining stall owners and the noisy wanderers, Dugu Yangming's face flashed with a smile, and he couldn't help but think of how he cheated and drank in such a place five years ago. Time has passed, and everything has become unrecognizable.

At this time, I heard an old and energetic voice say: "This honored guest, my books were all bought from the Divine Dragon Palace, and I can't be wrong." Look at ......!"

Dugu Yangming smiled inwardly and said to himself: "This old liar, there are so many fools in the world who let you deceive." Although he thought so, he still walked over, and naturally squatted down and flipped through a few books, all of which were books on mathematics, yin and yang. However, there are two books that still attract attention, and those are two yellowed old books on talismans.

Dugu Yangming knows what kind of talisman he knows, if he hadn't seen its power with his own eyes, he would be interested in learning about it. Regarding cultivation, he didn't have the slightest thought. Then he asked, "Old man, if I pack this pile of books, how much is it worth?"

The old man first repeated his carefully arranged clichés, then pretended to be contemplative, and said solemnly: "One hundred spirit crystals, there can be no less." ”

"One hundred spirit crystals, why don't you grab it?" Dugu Yangming choked and said, "To be honest, these books of yours are probably the people of the Shenlong Palace wiping their butts, and they are all hard papers, you really dare to open your mouth, you want it." ”

As soon as these words came out, more than ten suspicious and cold eyes came to him in an instant. These people don't quite understand that there are still people in Lucheng who dare to joke about the Divine Dragon Palace like this. Even so, no one is nosy, and of course, there is no need to do so.

Dugu Yangming said again: "One step, thirty spirit crystals, I will help you clear the stall, and you can also put some others." If it doesn't work, pull it. The spirit crystal of this great young master is not a landless flower. ”

"Deal!"

Dugu Yangming placed more than seventy miscellaneous books neatly in the remaining space of the Ruyi belt, hummed lightly, and walked towards the outside of the city.
