Chapter 133: The Strange Broken Egg (I)
Lin Quan didn't go to join in the fun at this time. He just stood silently, using his dual-purpose talent, keeping an eye on everyone's conversation and trying to recall some of the secrets about the paraphernalia.
Du Hongbo once said that spiritual tools can be roughly divided into three categories according to their uses.
They are attack, defense, and support. Among them, the auxiliary spirit tools are the most precious, but unfortunately, due to the difficulty of refining, and there are many drawbacks when using them, there were not many pure auxiliary spirit tools even in the heyday of the Weixuan lineage at that time. In today's immortal cultivation world, it can basically be ignored. There are a lot of offensive and defensive spirit tools left, but the most practical ones are defensive spirit tools.
After all, the spirit tool is a dead thing without spirit, and it cannot be controlled by the monk like magic weapons and spirit weapons. In this way, it will be difficult for the attack of the attacking spirit equipment to hit the unsuspecting person. The defense class is different, as long as the spiritual power of the spirit stone in the shield-type spirit tool is not exhausted, it can always protect itself.
Judging from the whole, when Lin Quan learned that this crossbow was only a first-order long-range attack spirit tool, he also agreed with the price of the thin monk's four hundred spirit stones. In terms of the strength of the spiritual sense of a monk of the same level and his own reaction, unless he carried out a sneak attack at a very close distance, he could only have a chance to hit, otherwise he could only take a straight line of spirit crossbow, how could he easily get it? If it was him, Lin Quan would rather choose a spirit tool like a sword, gun, sword and halberd that could hit the front hard.
However, later, when the monk surnamed Qin generously held up the "Green Calyx Crossbow" and took the initiative to open the secret trough where the spirit stone was installed for others to watch, Lin Quan suddenly changed his opinion. A layman might only notice the consumption of spirit stones, but Lin Quan saw at least two differences.
First, he discovered that there was a slot in the spirit stone dark groove of this green calyx crossbow that had "double capacity". That is to say, that special slot can not only install low-grade spirit stones, but also use medium-grade spirit stones. In this way, the user can attack the green calyx at least a hundred times at a critical moment.
Second, he also discovered that this green calyx crossbow was a "double-arrow crossbow" with a special "arrow slot". Generally speaking, according to the different arrows used, spirit crossbows can be divided into two categories: "arrowless crossbows" and "double-arrow crossbows".
A "non-arrowless crossbow" is a crossbow that can only fire spiritual arrows and cannot use physical arrows. In order to be easy to refine and simple to use, most of the spirit crossbows in the ancient monk period used special formations to convert the spiritual power provided by the spirit stone into spiritual power arrows for firing.
The "Twin Arrows" is a multi-purpose spirit crossbow that can use both spiritual arrows and physical arrows. Compared to a single "arrowless crossbow", it is more powerful and targeted when using special arrows. Of course, the "double-arrow crossbow" also has a lot of drawbacks. But all in all, this 'four-star' green calyx crossbow is definitely the best in a thousand among the low-grade spirit tools.
With these two discoveries, Lin Quan was naturally very interested in this crossbow. Thinking about it, the price dispute between the several monks present and the stall owner surnamed Na Qin also came to the end.
“...... Anyway, your broken crossbow consumes too many spirit stones, who can afford to use them in the condensation period? Finally, I will ask you again, will the four hundred spirit stones be sold? If you don't sell them, I'll leave. Even the emaciated monk was getting a little impatient.
Qin had just said that he could let another fifty in the end. Five hundred and fifty spirit stones, I won't sell one less. After Qin Daoyou threw out the final bottom line, he refused to relax in the slightest. He had already made up his mind that if the price was lower, he would rather keep it for his own use than cheapen someone else.
"Hmph! If you don't sell it, forget it. I don't care if I don't care......" Qin Daoyou's resolute answer made the thin monk lose face, and finally had to leave in a huff.
After the thin monk left, when he saw that no one stepped forward, Lin Quan walked to Qin Daoyou's side without hurrying. However, before he could speak, a powerful spiritual pressure suddenly came from behind him.
I saw three middle-aged monks dressed in purple void cloud shirts coming in line, and they didn't stop until they were three steps away from the stall. They first coldly glanced at the onlookers, and after Lin Quan and the rest of the scattered cultivators slowly retreated in awe, the leader carefully looked at Qin Daoyou with a proud expression. Looking at the "Green Calyx Crossbow", to be exact.
In the face of the unreasonable behavior of these three purple-clothed people, everyone chose to remain silent.
Just kidding, as long as they often beg for a living around "Zixufang City", how can they not recognize the identities of these three people. They are the deacons and disciples of the "Purple Void Gate" in Fang City, and they have great authority. Especially the middle-aged man who was at the peak of the twelfth layer of condensation qi at the head was the most difficult person to talk to among the many deacon disciples, and whoever made him unhappy would definitely have endless suffering. What's more, he also brought two juniors and disciples of the twelfth layer of condensation qi cultivation with him. In the world of cultivating immortals, where the strong are respected, strength determines everything.
"This Qin Daoyou invited, I am a deacon of the Purple Void Sect in Changhai, and I heard that the Daoist has a first-order spiritual tool that has been handed down from the ancient cultivation period. For this reason, I have an inquiry, I wonder if Qin Daoyou can solve my doubts?" Deacon Yu raised his head slightly, and asked very rudely by nodding the green calyx bow in Qin Daoyou's hand with his chin.
"Deacon Yu, even if you ask, as long as Qin knows, he must know everything, and he will say everything. The stall owner surnamed Qin secretly complained in his heart, but he had no way out, so he could only deal with the things in front of him first.
"Okay, in that case, I'll say it directly. Deacon Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Actually, Yu is not interested in the spirit tool in Qin Daoyou's hand. The reason why I took the liberty to come here was just to ask Qin Daoyou if he had a book on the refining of spiritual tools in his hand, and if so, my Purple Void Sect was willing to buy it at a high price. ”
"The tome of spiritual tool refining, where will there be such a thing in your hands? Although the green calyx crossbow was indeed found in the cave of an ancient monk, at that time, no useful thing was found in the entire cave at that time, except for some useless rags. Qin Daoyou's face became even more bitter than just now.
At first, when he heard that Deacon Yu's purpose was not to use the green calyx crossbow, Qin Daoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard about the thorny problem of refining the classics, he was also at a loss. He understands the truth of his guilt, but the conscience of heaven and earth, he really doesn't have that kind of thing in his hands.
"That's it......" Deacon Yu didn't speak, only stared at Qin Daoyou with a pair of eagle eyes, and after a while, he withdrew his gaze and nodded slowly. "Well, I can trust you below. ”
However, just after Qin Daoyou had just put his heart down, he suddenly asked, "I don't know if Qin Daoyou is inconvenient to take out the rags you said and let me take a look?"
"Convenient, of course. Those rags are all worthless things, and I just want to carry them all with me. After hearing Deacon Yu's request, Qin Daoyou was obviously relieved. "Actually, Qin had carefully checked it before, and except for a strange egg that was generally complete, the rest were useless waste...... As for that weird egg, I don't see anything special...... Well, Deacon Yu will know it if you have seen it yourself. ”
As he spoke, he untied a storage bag from his waist, and with a shake of his hand, there was a large pile of junk on the ground.
In fact, as Qin Daoyou said, such a large number of things are all inconspicuous rags. Except for one item with a pale green body that looked like a spirit bird egg that had been magnified several times, it was quite complete, and the other things had no trace of spirituality at all. It is also thanks to this Qin Daoyou to be careful, if it were another person, I am afraid that I would have thrown away these garbage that emitted unpleasant smells from time to time.
