Chapter 204: Conspiracy and Ancient Treasures
This nameless small valley is not big or small, but it is more than enough to accommodate at least more than 1,000 people.
After the eighty disciples of the Purple Void Sect found their preferred positions, they all started their own plans. Some people are meditating cross-legged, some are silently thinking, some are sorting out the contents of the storage bag, some are caressing the ritual utensils in their hands, and some are even stunned with sad faces, looking at a loss.
Seeing this, Lin Quan smiled secretly in his heart, it was too stupid to do these things now.
However, there were also several people with relaxed faces, as if they didn't pay any attention to the battle in front of them, revealing a strong attitude. Lin Quan took a closer look and found that the three thirteenth-level cultivation masters were one of them, especially the "Purple Cloud Twin Couple", the two cultivators were tired of being together without any scruples, as if they had come here not for a bloody fight at all, but rather as if they had come here to talk and laugh. In addition to a few of them, the others also have twelve-layer peak cultivation, and they are also well-known masters in the sect.
Just as Lin Quan was about to take advantage of this time to sort out his thoughts again, a slight commotion suddenly sounded in front of him.
With a burst of flattery of "Mr. Ma is in charge, meet Uncle Ma......", Ma Zhiyuan, one of the two condensate managers, suddenly came to the small valley.
I saw him striding with a horse's face on his back, and he just nodded casually to the many disciples on both sides who wanted to take the opportunity to slap him, seemingly disdainful at all.
Soon, Mr. Ma came straight to the man and woman who were still nestled together. He first spoke a few words to the "Purple Cloud Couple" with a pleasant face, and then patted the thin-lipped male monk on the shoulder cordially before leaving. It seems that the Lord Steward is very optimistic about this thirteen-layer cultivation double cultivation couple, and is giving them the final pre-battle encouragement.
After a while, Manager Ma came to Senior Brother Qi, who was known as the "strongest Qi Condensation Stage disciple" of the Purple Void Sect, and talked with him a few words in the same cordiality, and slapped him on the shoulder a few times like a concoction before leaving.
Seeing this, all the disciples understood that it turned out that this Chief Steward Ma had come here late at night just to cheer for the real core disciples of these sects. Thinking about it, the top leaders of the sect still only believed that these thirteenth-level cultivators could come out of the secret realm alive, and finally be able to bring back a sufficient amount of various elixirs and spiritual objects for the sect.
Thinking of this, those disciples who thought they didn't have too much strength all lost their eager thoughts and turned to watch from the sidelines.
Sure enough, Chief Manager Ma then said a few words to several other disciples who had the most powerful aura condensing qi twelve-layer peak cultivation with the same attitude, and patted them on the shoulder to encourage them.
Among all the disciples who were fortunate enough to be personally found by Chief Manager Ma, except for the three thirteenth-layer cultivators, the others suddenly showed a look of pride on their faces, as if they were already invisibly superior. As for the other disciples who thought they were strong but were not valued by Manager Ma, they had a gloomy face. From time to time, they glared at the "lucky ones", not knowing what they were thinking.
"Hey, you're ...... Master Lin's nephew. ”
Just as Manager Ma was about to return the same way, he glanced at Lin Quan, who was sitting in a remote corner, so he suddenly let out a soft 'huh', and then walked towards Lin Quan with a smile under the suspicious gaze of everyone.
"Disciple Lin Quan meets Master Ma!"
Lin Quan was very surprised, he didn't understand how this horse manager, who was usually greedy and had eyes above the top, could suddenly walk towards him. He was not so narcissistic as to think that he was so outstanding that he had attracted the attention of Manager Ma, on the contrary, he had a bad premonition in his heart, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. However, out of courtesy, Lin Quan still temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, quickly got up and bowed respectfully, and his face pretended to be happy at the right time.
"Master Lin doesn't have to be polite. ”
Manager Ma's gaze was a little complicated, the eagle-like gaze stared at Lin Quan's eyes, and after a long time, he sighed lightly and said, "Actually, the old man didn't expect to meet you here." What I didn't expect was that in just five years, you had already reached the point where you had reached the level of cultivation at the twelfth level, and the old man really didn't understand whether you were a disciple of the Four Spirit Roots or not. ”
In fact, the disciple didn't know why at all. Maybe it's because I've recently refined a Spirit Condensation Pill. Lin Quan was slightly shocked in his heart, but he had long been accustomed to this kind of deceit in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and he did not show any strange expression, and pretended to be confused.
Then Manager Ma asked several questions without giving up, but Lin Quan didn't know anything at all. He insisted that his cultivation today was completely based on the hard cultivation he had gained on weekdays, and it was not until the end that he used the fact that he had refined a 'Spirit Condensation Pill' to excuse himself. Anyway, this kind of thing is not a secret, and as the head of Ma Zhiyuan's outer gate, he can find out that he has indeed used the sect's contribution points to exchange for a spirit condensing pill, and then he has been in retreat in the Hidden Dragon Hall for several months.
In the end, Lin Quan's half-truths and half-truths, combined with his current puzzled look, still made Manager Ma give up the idea of continuing to ask.
"Senior nephew Lin, now that you are already standing here, the old man will not say anything more. Be more careful when you go to the secret realm!" Finally, Manager Ma sighed lightly again. Then he stretched out his right hand and habitually patted Lin Quan's left shoulder, and left without looking back.
"Yes, thank you for Manager Ma's concern, the disciple will definitely keep your teachings firmly in mind!" Looking at the background of Manager Ma's calm departure, Lin Quan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.
From all indications, this Manager Ma is not friendly to him, and may even be secretly involved because of Leng Wanli's relationship, so Lin Quan does not believe any of Manager Ma's words at all.
In the same way, he also knew very well that his words just now were impossible to convince the cunning and foxy Ma Manager at all. Fortunately, none of this matters, as long as he does not show obvious flaws, then Manager Ma can only be suspicious. Once you get the five main medicines that refine the 'Spirit Condensation Pill', and you can still get out of the Blue Dragon Secret Realm alive, then the situation will be different. Lin Quan believed that as long as he had a sufficient number of 'Spirit Condensation Pills', he would definitely be able to advance to the condensation stage, and at that time, even if there were many conspiracies between Chief Ma and Leng Wanli, it would be impossible for them to pose any threat to a cultivator of the same rank, unless that Leng Wanli could invite his master to come forward.
He stood there for a while, and it wasn't until he saw the figure of Manager Ma completely disappearing into the valley that Lin Quan finally calmed down, returned to the same place and continued to meditate and meditate.
At this time, he didn't notice at all, just as Manager Ma reached out and patted his left shoulder, a colorless and invisible powder hidden between his fingers was sprinkled on his shirt. And where the powder was sprinkled, there was nothing unusual at all.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Lin Quan was still meditating silently and pranayama. At this time, there was a commotion not far away again, and under the influence of this, many disciples in the vicinity all stood up, and formed into a group and pointed at the distant sky and began to talk loudly.
Curious, Lin Quan also stood up and looked up in the direction everyone was pointing out.
I saw a small red dot suddenly appear in the blue sky. In a few moments, the little red dot had come close and magnified into a small cloud of fire.
"Wow, what kind of magic weapon is this?, is it a super-large Danding?" The first disciple to see the true face of the burning cloud was stunned.
"What a Danding, this is obviously a rare tripod-shaped flying magic weapon. Didn't you see that the Dingzhong was full of people?" another knowledgeable senior brother immediately retorted.
"Yes, yes, looking at their special pale green clothes, they should be the Daoists of the 'Elixir Mountain', one of the four major sects of my Great Zheng Kingdom. ”
..................
Soon, this tripod-shaped flying magic weapon was getting closer and closer to this nameless little valley. By this time, the people of the "Purple Void Gate" had completely seen the true face of this fiery cloud.
As the knowledgeable senior brother said, this super-large tripod was simply a large flying magic weapon that looked like a danding, and the red cloud that everyone had seen earlier was the blazing flames that came out of this tripod.
"All the teachers and nephews are quiet, what kind of system are you making such a fuss!"
At this time, Manager Ma also rushed over, and when he heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he turned around and reprimanded everyone. After everyone bowed their heads in agreement, the chief manager explained slowly:
"This is the signature ancient treasure of the elixir mountain's 'Baoding Sanren' - Huoyun Zijin Ding. Although this tripod has various wonderful uses in addition to flying, when it comes to flying ability, the 'Illusory Cloud Fantasy Star Boat' of this gate is definitely more than enough to win. Don't lose the face of our Purple Void Gate. ”
"Yes, the disciple understands......" After General Manager Ma's reprimand and explanation, the disciples who had seen such a magical "Fire Cloud Purple Gold Ding" for the first time finally calmed down. Many acquaintances began to discuss in small groups in low voices, and most of the content revolved around the two aspects of "Huoyun Purple Gold Ding" and "Ancient Treasure".
It was the first time Lin Quan had heard the word Gu Bao, and he was so interested that he immediately listened to it. It turned out that the ancient treasure was an alternative magic weapon refined by the ancient monks of the Ning Dan period.
Due to the different refining methods and materials, there is a big difference between the ancient treasure and the natal magic weapon of the monks of the Ning Dan period.
One is that the ancient treasure cannot be refined into a life magic weapon. Therefore, ancient treasures cannot be stored in the heart like natal magic weapons, and can also be ingested into the body, and can only be stored in storage bags like magic weapons and spiritual weapons.
The second is that once the ancient treasure is refined, its power has been fixed, for the monk who has just successfully condensed the golden pill, refining a powerful ancient treasure before his own natal magic weapon is cultivated can instantly enhance a lot of combat power.
The third is that anyone who obtains the ancient treasure can forcibly erase the marks left by the previous owner as long as they cultivate enough, and then occupy the treasure by dripping blood to recognize the owner. And no matter how many times this happens, it won't damage the power of the ancient treasure.
