Chapter 41: The Treasure Gathering

"It's actually a medium-grade spirit stone...... Could this kid be the son of a big man in a sect? "The innkeeper wouldn't have thought that this was Mu Hao's mining income, after all, the shopkeeper knew that it would be good to be able to mine a low-grade spirit stone in the Demon Mountain Range in recent years, let alone a medium-grade spirit stone.

Moreover, Mu Hao's unusual image made the shopkeeper think that he was the son of a big man of the sect who came out to play, and he was pampered and didn't adapt to the outside world for a while to make him look like this.

"This son, please come in, Xiao Wu will prepare a good guest room for this son, prepare a bucket of hot water, and serve the best spirit wine and food in this store. The shopkeeper shouted.

"Howler. A thin boy dressed in gray replied.

"This son, please come with me. Mu Hao nodded, and followed the little guy upstairs.

"Guest officer, please come in, the hot water has been prepared for you, and the wine and food will be served immediately. After speaking, the little guy withdrew from Mu Hao's room.

Mu Hao closed the door and saw a large bathtub in the corner of the guest room, and the hot water in it was still steaming.

Taking off his robe, Mu Hao entered the bathtub and let out a pleasant exclamation: "It's so comfortable!"

The water in this guest room is all spring water from the Spirit Mountain, which is directly transported through the formation, and there is a heating circle under the bathtub. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Mu Hao to have just arrived with his front foot, and the back foot would have prepared hot water, otherwise it would not be called the means of the immortal family.

Mu Hao spent a while washing himself well, and then changed into his disciple's jade robe again.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Mu Hao couldn't help but say proudly: "Although it is not better than Pan An, it is also a jade tree in the wind, and I don't know how many girls with spring will be fascinated by my vigorous figure and handsome face." ”

Thinking of this, Mu Hao couldn't help but laugh.

"Guest, are you inside, the drinks and dishes you need have been prepared, a plate of "stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots", a pot of the store's best "Bailing Brew", and a bowl of rice made from high-quality spiritual rice. A small guy shouted to Mu Hao outside the door.

"Send it in. ”

"Well, guest officer. ”

The little servant put the wine and food on the table, and then asked Mu Hao, "Guest officer, is there anything else you need?"

"It's not for the time being, but if there is one, I'll call you. After Mu Hao finished speaking, he threw a low-grade spirit stone to the little guy.

"Thank you, the guest officer, the guest officer is slow to use. The little guy took the spirit stone and said to Mu Hao happily, and then walked out of Mu Hao's room and casually closed the door for Mu Hao.

These disciples who were assigned by the sect only had a salary of a few lower grade spirit stones every month. The Qianyang Sect does not treat it, and provides it with spirit stones for cultivation like the sect's disciples and preparatory disciples, and Mu Hao's low-grade spirit stone is equivalent to half a month's income for this little guy.

Although immortal cultivators are no longer so thirsty for appetite, eating some food with aura can not only strengthen the body, but also increase the speed of cultivation.

But often these foods are very expensive. Because the ingredients taken from each spiritual food dish are some spiritual materials containing spiritual energy and some high-level demon beast body parts.

Not only are the ingredients hard to find, but it is also a big problem to make dishes that can promote cultivation. After all, the ingredients will lose some of their aura during the cooking process, and even produce substances that are harmful to the monk's body.

As a result, each spiritual food dish is incomparably expensive. Afterwards, Mu Hao learned that the dishes he ate, a bowl of rice, and a pot of wine he drank cost thirty-five lower-grade spirit stones, which made Mu Hao feel a pain in his flesh.

This is more than half a year's supply of the sect.

Although Mu Hao is worth a lot of money now, the spirit stone can't be spent like this.

"It's delicious, this wine is also good, this food should only be in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world. If you don't become an immortal cultivator, how can you enjoy such delicious wine. Eating the meal, Mu Hao not only sighed.

"After eating, you should cultivate as soon as possible, so as not to lose the aura in the ingredients. Remembering the introduction and precautions for spiritual food in the book "Cultivating the Immortal World", Mu Hao immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated and cultivated.

Feel the abundant aura in the body, and slowly transport the aura in the body to the dantian in the abdomen through the meridians. Mu Hao couldn't help but sigh. This was actually more than the cultivation speed that directly absorbed the Hongmeng Qi provided by the Eight Views Gourd.

Time passed slowly, and a crescent moon hung in the sky again, and night gradually covered the land.

"I didn't expect that a simple meal would make my half-day cultivation results comparable to my previous day's cultivation results. Opening his eyes, Mu Hao felt the changes in his body, and whispered in surprise.

If I eat spiritual food every day, I don't know how fast my cultivation speed will be. Just thinking of its expensive price, Mu Hao quickly expelled this unrealistic idea from his mind.

A low knock on the door interrupted Mu Hao's thoughts.

"Guest officer, are you there, but is there anything else you need?" rang at the door, the voice of Xiao Si, who had led Mu Hao into the room this morning.

"Little second brother, I don't need anything. ”

"Guest, today is the annual treasure gathering, don't you want to go out for a stroll? Maybe you can find the treasure you need!" Xiao Si asked in a low voice.

"Oh, then the little second brother come in and introduce me to this treasure conference. After speaking, Mu Hao opened the door.

"Yes, guest officer. Xiao Si said in surprise and entered Mu Hao's room with cheerful steps.

Mu Hao looked at Xiao Si and said with a smile: "It's the first time I've left the sect and come to this "Demon City", and I don't know about this so-called "Treasure Gathering Conference", can the little second brother talk to me?"

Mu Hao learned some information about the "Treasure Conference" from the younger second brother.

According to Xiao Er, the Demon City is a city built on the Demon Mountain Range. You must know that more than two hundred years ago, this was the largest supply of spirit stones in the entire Qianguo Immortal Cultivation Realm.

At that time, this Demon Mountain Range was allowed to be mined by any righteous monk, as long as you paid enough capitation fee to the Qianyang Sect. After all, this place is the largest spiritual stone vein in the entire Qianguo Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it is impossible for it to be controlled by the Qianyang Sect as a whole. The eldest eats meat, and he has to give the younger brother some soup, otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, and the position of the head of the righteous path of the Qianyang Sect will not be easy to sit.

Because at that time, monks from various sects gathered here, even monks from the Demon Sect and foreign clans.

At that time, the Qianyang Sect and Wanbao Pavilion led the first "Treasure Conference". As you can imagine from the name, this was a gathering to facilitate the exchange of their treasures for the treasures they urgently needed.

After hundreds of years of development, this "treasure gathering" has gradually become a large gathering of monks from all walks of life. Every time there is a "treasure gathering", there will be a lot of treasures, such as rare spiritual materials, rare refining materials, rare treasures・・・・・・ and even some high-level immortal cultivation techniques or magic skills.

"Do you want to go to the "Treasure Gathering" to have a look?"

"Yes, I don't know if there are any other things to pay attention to?" Mu Hao nodded first, and then asked Xiao Si in an inquiring tone.

"There's nothing to pay attention to. It's just that after each treasure gathering, Wanbao Pavilion will hold a huge auction for three consecutive days, but ・・・・・・" Xiao Si suddenly became slumped.

"But what, can the little second brother make it clear?" After speaking, Mu Hao threw Xiao Si a low-grade spirit stone again.

This time, Xiao Si did not take the lower grade spirit stone given by Mu Hao, but put it on the table.

"This son, I have a treasure here. I want to sell it to Childe, as long as 1,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and by the way, I will give Childe an admission ticket to the Wanbao Pavilion auction worth five lower-grade spirit stones. ”

"Hmm. Mu Hao let out a soft snort.

"I saw that Childe was generous, and he seemed to have a lot of spirit stones, so I ・・・・・・"

Looking at Mu Hao's gradually gloomy face, Xiao Si cried with a slight cry: "If you don't have nine hundred lower grade spirit stones, eight hundred will do." Childe couldn't be lower, this is my ancestral treasure. If it weren't for Childe's kindness, I wouldn't have sold it to Childe, and I'd rather let him be buried in the soil with me. ”

Mu Hao looked at Xiao Si's appearance seriously, and knew that he was not lying with his experience in two lives.

In the previous life, Mu Hao, as an archaeologist, always had to deal with all kinds of people, and even some cunning tomb robbers naturally practiced the ability to read people.

"Since it's a treasure, why don't you take it to the treasure gathering and sell it. If you don't feel safe, you can auction it off on Wanbao Pavilion, but it just costs some handling fees and takes some of the price of the item. ”

"Childe, I've tried all of these methods. No one bought my treasures, and even the appraisers of Wanbao Pavilion thought that my piece of jade was just an ordinary piece of jade and refused to send it for me. Xiao Si said to Mu Hao with a bitter face.

Each auction house has its own appraiser, so as not to have some indiscriminate items and ruin the reputation of the auction house.

"Maybe it's not a treasure jade, just an ordinary piece of jade. Mu Hao took a sip of tea and said with a smile to Xiao Si.

"No, Childe, this is really the ancestral treasure of the villain family, according to records, it has been passed down for more than a thousand years! A thousand years ago, my family was a large family of immortal cultivators, but in a big battle with the Demon Gate, the family members suffered heavy losses, so that they declined. But this piece of treasure has been passed down as a family inheritance token. After speaking, I saw Xiao Si take out a piece of blood-red jade from the storage bag.

"Well, how do you feel like this again? Mu Hao was surprised in his heart, feeling the restlessness of the mana in his body, Mu Hao knew that this Xiao Si did not lie to him, this was a piece of dusty jade.

"I really didn't lie to you, this son. If it weren't for the decline of the family now, and I was the only immortal cultivator left, I wouldn't have sold it to my son・・・・・"

"I want it, a thousand lower grade spirit stones, right? ”

"True Childe, do you want this piece of jade?" Xiao Si asked with some disbelief.

Mu Hao nodded lightly.

"Thank you, Childe, you are really a good person, you ・・・・・・" received Mu Hao's confirmed reply, Xiao Si said in surprise, and slowly became incoherent, and finally cried loudly.

Looking at Xiao Si's appearance, Mu Hao didn't bother him. Just put down a storage bag on the table, and then took a piece of jade from Xiao Si's hand and left the room.

When Xiao Si came back to his senses, Mu Hao was long gone.

Xiao Si opened the storage bag left by Mu Hao, and inside was a thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and the wood attribute exercise Changchun Gong that Mu Hao had written silently after returning from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

Mu Hao knew from his mana fluctuations that Xiao Si was a single spirit root of the wood attribute. Mu Hao didn't expect that his unintentional actions would create a powerhouse in the world of immortal cultivation.
