Chapter 206: Heart of Firewood
Gong Huaiming stayed in the ice cave for almost three days, during these three days, he didn't do anything, just concentrated on putting away the mountains of ice in the ice cave, and in the end, the ice cave was empty, cleaner than a cat licking, and all the ice was swept away. Fortunately, he has a swagger, and if he only comes with a storage bag, he may not be able to carry even one in a hundred million.
The most inexplicable surprise to Gong Huaiming is that these Xuanbing are divided into many grades, the year is a little worse, not very transparent, there are some miscellaneous spots in the middle, the year is good, from transparent to showing various colors, there are light blue, sky blue, purple, pale gold, pure gold, red, pink, etc., this is simply a treasure house of Xuanbing, or a treasure trove that no one guards. Now that he is opening the door and stealing, he is waiting for Gong Huaiming to make a move.
In the end, Gong Huaiming returned to the ground and rushed back to Mu Iceland. The Hundred Treasures Conference is not over yet, but it is coming to an end. Gong Huaiming seized the time to go around the Baibao Conference, hoping to find something useful to him.
At a book stall, Gong Huaiming saw a book about the customs and customs of the Thousand Ice Islands, which had a detailed introduction to Xuan Bing, so he bought it. Through the above introduction, he knew that those colored dark ice were rarer in quantity than transparent dark ice, and the range of applications was wider than that of transparent dark ice.
Gong Huaiming's heart moved, and he began to consciously look for the records of how the cultivators who recorded the Thousand Ice Islands applied Xuan Bing in practice, and the last thing he lacked now was Xuan Bing, what he lacked was the method of application.
After careful searching, he still found some relevant records, and he bought all the relevant books, jade pupils, etc., and prepared to study them well after returning to the Dongkoma Islands.
This day, the Hundred Treasures Conference will end one day, and the Xuanbing Sect has spread the news that it will cause a sensation in the Thousand Ice Islands, and they will auction a treasure of heaven and earth at the Hundred Treasures Conference-the Heart of Fire and Wood.
For a while, the Thousand Ice Islands were full of scenes talking about the Heart of Firewood, and Mu Iceland was no exception, after all, this was the venue for the Hundred Treasures Conference. No one could guess where the Xuanbing Sect got the Heart of Firewood, and they didn't understand why the Xuanbing Sect wanted to sell this kind of anti-heaven treasure? This is a good thing that can make an ordinary man immediately have the qualification to cultivate the true Dao.
After Gong Huaiming got the news, he was overjoyed, the reason why he rushed to the Thousand Ice Islands, the heart of the fire wood is one of the main purposes, and now he finally got the news of the heart of the firewood, and as long as he participates in the auction, it is possible to buy it. For a while, as if the heart of fire wood was at his fingertips, Gong Huaiming's heart immediately became hot.
Gong Huaiming decided to make the most adequate preparations before participating in the auction, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to raise enough spars. He has been wandering around Mu Iceland for the past two days, and knows that the Xuan Bing Sect has opened a store in Mu Iceland, in addition to selling things, he also buys all kinds of natural treasures, their bid is fair, and their reputation in Mu Iceland is not bad.
Gong Huaiming found a ready-to-wear shop, bought a new set of clothes, bought a hat and a black cloth, put two holes in the black cloth, covered his face, took the hat, and entered the shop of the Xuanbing Sect.
The guy in the store is an outer disciple of the Xuanbing Sect, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Gong Huaiming's dress, but he immediately returned to normal, and greeted him with a smile. Nine times out of ten, these people think too highly of what they have in their hands, but there is no guarantee that there will be some masked people who really have good things in their hands.
The guy asked Gong Huaiming about his intentions, and after confirming that Gong Huaiming was here to sell things, he led Gong Huaiming to a room next to the lobby, which was separated from the lobby by a door, very plain, and there was a gray-haired old man sitting in it. This old man was dressed in the costume of the inner disciple of the Xuanbing Sect, and he was cultivating in the later stage of enlightenment.
The old man was very arrogant at first, and as soon as Gong Huaiming came in, his divine sense swept over, but the restrained aura on Gong Huaiming's body suddenly made him understand that this masked person was not something he could provoke, he waved his hand and sent the guy out, and then said respectfully: "Senior, what do you want to sell?"
Gong Huaiming pondered for a moment, "I have two pieces of Xuan Ice here, please help me take a look." As soon as he stretched out his hand, he placed a piece of ice the size of Chengren's fist on the table in front of the old man, this piece of ice glowed a faint blue color, and its shape was not very regular.
When the old man saw this piece of Xuanbing, his eyes lit up all of a sudden. "Daoist friends want to sell this piece of Xuanbing, if so, our Xuanbing Sect is willing to pay a thousand pieces of low-grade spar to buy it. ”
This price made Gong Huaiming very satisfied, and at the same time, the old man's bid also made him understand the true value of those colored Xuan Bing. This is still the Thousand Ice Islands, which produce a lot of Ice, and if you change to those places that don't produce Ice, you will definitely be able to exchange for more spars.
Gong Huaiming took out another piece of ice the size of a watermelon, which was also blue in color, but not as deep as the one just now. The old man happily gave Gong Huaiming a purchase price of 50,000 lower-grade spars.
With fifty-one thousand lower grade spars, Gong Huaiming hurriedly left the shop of the Xuanbing Sect, the old man looked at his distant back, his eyes were cloudy, and after a long time, he still sighed and gave up the idea of sending someone to follow Gong Huaiming. The Xuanbing Sect has no master who can win Gong Huaiming in Mu Iceland, and if you want to follow Gong Huaiming smoothly, you must transfer people from the sect, but when the people are transferred, the daylily is cold.
After Gong Huaiming left the store, he was very cautious, observing from time to time whether anyone was following him. It wasn't until the auction started that he entered the auction venue and put his mind on the auction for the time being.
The venue was crowded with people, and countless people were clustered together, making it noisy. Gong Huaiming observed the surroundings and found that most of the people present did not have a very high cultivation, mainly in the rotation period and the opening period, and there were very few who did not succeed in building the foundation and exceeded the opening period.
The auction began, and the first lot was the Heart of Firewood, which was placed in a wooden tray lined with silk. The heart of fire wood is a spirit fruit with a shape similar to Ya pear, with many spiral patterns on the surface, and if you look closely, you will find that there are two spirals, one is fiery red and the other is green wood.
The auctioneer said: "Fellow Daoists, this is the heart of the fire wood, as long as you swallow it, then the user will immediately get the fire wood dual surname spirit root, which is the innate spirit fruit that those who aspire to become alchemists' dreams." The Heart of Fire Wood was commissioned by the Xuanbing Sect for auction, and they didn't want spars, they didn't want pills, just golden top-grade Xuanbing. If you have one, please make a quotation. The starting price is one coin (one tael equals ten coins) of golden superlative ice. ”
The auctioneer's voice fell, and there was an uproar in the auction hall, no one thought that if they wanted to bid for the heart of firewood, they couldn't use spars, they could only use golden superlative ice, golden, which was the color of the top-notch superlative ice. Not to mention how hard to find the golden superlative ice, its value is also invaluable.
Of course, the Xuanbing Sect only asks for a coin of golden superlative Xuanbing because of its value, but in comparison, many people still feel that a coin of golden superlative Xuanbing is worth more, and it is not cost-effective to buy the heart of firewood.
Gong Huaiming didn't say anything at first, and he waited until the auctioneer was about to announce that the heart of the fire was lost. So, with only one penny of the golden superlative Xuanbing, I successfully bought the heart of the firewood.
Gong Huaiming doesn't think there is anything cost-effective about this deal, he has a lot of golden superlative Xuanbing, but there is no one of the heart of firewood, at present, the heart of firewood is what he urgently needs, and he can exchange it for the heart of firewood with a piece of golden superlative Xuanbing that is not much bigger than a quail egg, so he is naturally unwilling to continue to waste time in the Thousand Ice Islands.
After the auctioneer announced that he had won the heart of firewood, Gong Huaiming immediately rushed to the backstage and went through the handover procedures, he handed over the golden superlative Xuanbing to the people of the Xuanbing Sect, and then took the heart of firewood from the other party, without saying a word, he arched his hand towards the other party, and left the auction hall in a hurry.
Coming out of the auction hall, after not taking a few steps, Gong Huaiming felt that someone was following him. Gong Huaiming was reluctant to make a move in Mu Iceland, so he walked a few steps, found an open place, released a hundred birds to return to the nest Jinpa, jumped on the "cloud", and flew towards Mu Iceland. There is ice around Iceland, and you can't take a boat to get to the neighboring islands.
After flying away from Mu Iceland for about ten miles, the two cultivators who were chasing behind Gong Huaiming suddenly sped up, one after the other, blocking Gong Huaiming. These two people, like Gong Huaiming, are covered with faces, and they don't want people to recognize their true faces.
"Fellow Daoist, we only want money and don't kill people. You hand over the Heart of Fire and the rest of the Golden Superb Ice, and our brothers will let you go. The masked man blocking in front of Gong Huaiming said gloomily.
The cultivation of the two people who surrounded Gong Huaiming was not low, one was comparable to Gong Huaiming, in the middle stage of fusion, and the other was higher than him, in the late stage of integration. The two of them can be regarded as worthy of Gong Huaiming.
Gong Huaiming didn't say anything, and took out the heart of the fire wood that he had just received in his arms, as well as a piece of golden superlative ice the size of an egg. Without saying a word, he used all his strength to throw the Heart of Fire Wood to the east, and the golden superlative Xuanbing to the west, and after the two landed, the distance between them was more than three miles.
"You don't just want money and don't kill you, I'll give it to you, pick it up. Gong Huaiming said expressionlessly.
Only Gong Huaiming's two people couldn't help but be stunned, none of them expected Gong Huaiming to be so simple, as soon as they came up, they took out the heart of fire wood and the golden best Xuanbing, and the egg-sized golden Xuanbing made both of their eyes straighten, and just about to let Gong Huaiming hand it over to them, Gong Huaiming threw it out.
Gong Huaiming did this, but it gave them a big problem. No matter what they do, they will fall into the bureau set up by Gong Huaiming.
Leaving one person to monitor Gong Huaiming, and the other person to pick up things, left Gong Huaiming with a chance to resist. In many cases, the fighting methods between cultivators will distinguish the winner and the loser between the lightning and flint, maybe the person who stays behind will fall into Gong Huaiming's plot and be killed on the spot, then the other person may not be able to please him.
If you don't monitor Gong Huaiming, both of them will pick it up, and if the two are separated, it will leave Gong Huaiming with various opportunities to break it, if you pick up one of them together, then the other one, it will be possible for Gong Huaiming to pick it up again in front of them, and then run away as fast as possible.
The two glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and the masked man at the end of the fusion said: "Boy, I didn't expect you to be so insidious, and you still dare to use tricks with us, this is really a way in heaven that you don't go, and hell has no door for you to break in." If you play annihilation and slip in front of you, you will not be able to complain about us. The second child, on, did him together. ”
Gong Huaiming threw things out, and he really had the abacus of dividing and turning into one, he hadn't fought with the cultivators in the fusion period, and he was not sure that he would be one against two, so he wanted to separate the two. I didn't expect them to be fooled.
Gong Huaiming's face sank, and he shook his hand to shoot the fire cloud bead at the masked man in the late stage of fusion, and at the same time, he pinched the spirit trick in his hand, and the ice jade sword behind his back came out of the sheath, stabbing directly at the masked man in the middle stage of fusion.
The masked man in the late stage of fusion recognized the power of the Fire Cloud Bead, and he hurriedly dodged, and at the same time played a Xuan Ice Shield Talisman to block between him and the Fire Cloud Bead. This is the Thousand Ice Islands, and the Ice Shield is a relatively common high-grade paper talisman. There is nothing strange about the masked man making it.
Gong Huaiming's heart moved, and the fire cloud beads burst open, flames burst out, and countless sparks burst out, exploding in all directions. The masked man in the late stage of the fusion suddenly rushed into a corner, and unconsciously, the distance between him and the other masked man was much farther away.
At the same time, the masked man in the middle of the fusion showed a bit of disdain in his eyes, the Ice Jade Sword was just a low-grade spiritual weapon, just like the Xuanbing Shield Talisman, which was very common here in the Thousand Ice Islands. Now that they are fighting to the death, Gong Huaiming actually used a low-grade spirit weapon to fight with them, obviously a poor ghost, plus he threw out the heart of fire wood and the golden best Xuanbing at the beginning, obviously he is not very bold.
In the eyes of this masked man, fighting such a guts poor bastard, closing his eyes, and letting the poor ghost win him with one hand and one foot.
The arrogant army will be defeated, and this sentence also applies to the battle between cultivators. Gong Huaiming's cultivation is comparable to that of this masked man, he has been through life and death several times, and his experience in fighting can be said to be quite rich, everything he does is just to paralyze the other party and make the other party relax their vigilance.
Seeing that the other party's eyes showed a little contempt, and the offensive was even a little slackened because of it, Gong Huaiming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly bullied the masked man in the middle of fusion, and the black light in his hand flashed, and the black gold whip hidden in the cuff shook his hand out, and it was wrapped around the opponent's neck in an instant. Without giving the other party a chance to react, Gong Huaiming flicked his wrist, and the black gold whip was tightly wrapped around the opponent's neck, strangling his head alive.
