Chapter 99: The Money Eye of the Scripture Pavilion (text)
Jade books look a little simpler and faster than those on paper and bamboo. For jade books, there is a special catalog of jade slips, as long as you stick this catalog jade slip on the center of your eyebrows and sweep it with your divine sense, you can check the entire jade slip books.
However, it is a pity that all the books of the jade slip category have neither the pill type pill pill that Wu Yan needs, nor the exercises books he wants. Except for a jade slip related to puppetry, Wu Yan didn't find anything useful to him.
In the end, there are only three Jinque books on the shelves under the wall over there, and these three Jinque books are all exercises, one is a wood-attribute qi refining period exercise, one is a wind attribute qi refining method, and the last one is a very strange alchemy that is similar to the body cultivation of ordinary martial artists. Wu Yan took a general look, but it was useless.
As for the things placed under the other wall, Wu Yan was not very interested in looking at them, all there were some raw materials and shoddy magic weapons, and in the end, Wu Yan held the four bamboo slips and walked in front of the old man surnamed Qian in the center.
"How is it, Senior Brother Wu, is there still a harvest?" The old man surnamed Qian saw Wu Yan come out, and he was still holding a stack of bamboo slips in his hand, his eyes had already narrowed into a line with a smile, but he still said to Wu Yan knowingly.
"Senior Brother Qian, is this really the Scripture Pavilion of this sect? How can the things in the collection be either old antiques that can't be seen to be useful, or just useless things?" Wu Yan put the stack of bamboo slips on the table in front of the old man surnamed Qian, rubbed his nose depressedly and asked.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Wu, in fact, there are more advanced exercises and formulas in the Yin and Yang Palace, but they are not in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, but in the True Void Cave of the Master. Only those disciples who have made special contributions to the sect will have the opportunity and qualifications to choose. Well, here, the collection is naturally some of the more common exercise recipes. What, does Senior Brother Wu want to copy the contents of these four bamboo slips?" The old man surnamed Qian was afraid that Wu Yan would regret it, so he quickly picked up the bamboo slips in front of him and looked at them, and asked with a smile.
Wu Yan thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Qian, I want to ask, can't this cost be less?"
"Hmm, less, no, no. In principle, a copy is fifteen spirit stones, ten spirit stones are the cost of books, and five spirit stones are the cost of blank jade slips. If these four have to be copied, there will be a total of sixty spirit stones, are you ready? I'm going to copy them. The old man surnamed Qian looked at Wu Yan with a smile and asked.
"Wait, this, this is too expensive, right? Wait a minute, I'll see if I have enough spirit stones!" Wu Yan took out his storage bag with difficulty, looking like he didn't have enough spirit stones.
The old man surnamed Qian rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Wait for me to take a look at it again, well, so let's do it, you only need to copy these three copies of the book, this volume of ink and bamboo books, even if it is given to you." Anyway, this book has been left here for hundreds of years, and no one reads it, so it just belongs to the clutter that should be cleaned up, in this case, you only need to pay three copies of the spirit stones that copy the jade slip, how about it?"
The old man surnamed Qian looked at Wu Yan with an expression that you have made a lot of money, Wu Yan pondered for a while, and then picked up the ink and bamboo book, so he looked embarrassed. In fact, what he wanted most in his heart was this book, but what he didn't expect was that this ink bamboo book, in the eyes of the old man surnamed Qian, was the most worthless book, and it still belonged to a type of book that was about to be cleaned up.
"Okay, then please ask Senior Brother Qian to copy it for me. ”
When the old man surnamed Qian heard Wu Yan's words, he quickly took out three blank jade slips from under the desk and began to copy them.
"Okay, take it!" The old man surnamed Qian was dumbfounded by Wu Yan, quickly copied the jade slip, and put it in front of Wu Yan, looking at Wu Yan with an expression of not being ready to give money.
Wu Yan rubbed his nose, and had to take out forty-five spirit stones from the storage bag depressedly, and handed them to the old man surnamed Qian very painfully. He just remembered that the content of these three Dan Fang was not much, in fact, it could be copied in a jade slip, in that case, he could also save the cost of ten spirit stones, and only need to pay thirty-five spirit stones. Unexpectedly, this treacherous old guy didn't even give him a chance to distinguish, so he finished copying.
Wu Yan picked up the jade slip, pasted it on his eyebrows and swept it, and sure enough, he saw that it was a complete copy of the Dan Fang, and at the place where each jade slip was signed, the words "Qianyan Copy" were written.
Seeing such a name, Wu Yan almost didn't laugh out loud. This old guy, whose name is really the same as his person, is an old guy who fell into Qian Yan, and his name is Qian Yan.
"By the way, Senior Brother Qian, I want to ask, why are there so few Dan Fang in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion of this sect?" Wu Yan asked Qian Yan strangely after putting the three jade slips and the scroll of ink and bamboo calligraphy into the storage bag.
Qian Yan was probably in a very good mood because he had just earned a sum of spirit stones from Wu Yan, so when Wu Yan asked him questions, he didn't show impatience, but explained to Wu Yan in detail.
"Senior Brother Wu, this question, in fact, as long as the immortal cultivator who knows a little bit about the immortal cultivation world, should know it? Do you think, the raw materials needed for this pill recipe are some very rare heavenly and earthly treasures, these things are precious and abnormal, which one of them has to grow in the spiritual land for a thousand children and eight hundred years? And the quantity is still limited, and if you use a little, you can use a little less. However, the number of immortal cultivators has not decreased, and there is even a tendency to increase, if this continues, after a long time, naturally this heavenly treasure will become less and less, and it will become more and more precious. With the increase in the number of immortal cultivators, there are fewer and fewer heavenly treasures, and many of them are even completely extinct. Without those heavenly and earthly treasures, it is equivalent to having no source of alchemy raw materials, what is the value of those pills? Coupled with the great war between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect more than a thousand years ago, many powerful cultivators have fallen, and many precious pills of the Righteous Path Sect have also been lost. ”
After listening to Qian Yan's words, Wu Yan nodded suddenly, and finally understood what was going on. It is true, just take the ink and bamboo book in his hand, isn't it because the eleven kinds of eleven eleven elixir raw materials recorded in the book can't find the source, so that this ancient five-element attribute Zhuji Dan is extinct in the immortal cultivation world?
"Since Senior Brother Wu wants to refine the pill, do you want to buy some more raw materials here in the old decay? Do you want a good pill furnace? The old decay also has everything here!" Qian Yan found that Wu Yan was silent, thinking that he was thinking about alchemy, and couldn't help but enthusiastically start to introduce it.
"Are they just those furnaces? They're not very good, so forget it. Wu Yan suddenly thought that his affairs were also completely done, and it was time to leave here.
"Senior Brother Qian, you don't need to buy a Ding furnace. In our Five Elements Peak, there is a good alchemy room and an alchemy furnace, I can just go back and use that, I don't need to buy a Dan furnace. Wu Yan saw that when Qian Yan heard him say that the Ding furnaces on the shelves were not good, he was about to take out something and show it to him, so he quickly arched his hand towards Qian Yan, turned around and left the Scripture Pavilion, and appeared in the passage back.
Qian Yanwu muttered something unwillingly there. Wu Yan walked faster and faster. Soon, Wu Yan reappeared in the same place where he had just come in.
The disciple under Elder Lei was still guarding there, and when he saw that it was Wu Yan coming out, he didn't have any nonsense, so he let him out directly.
Soon, Wu Yan left the Yin Yang Palace, walked to the end of the square, and appeared in front of the gate of the deacon's courtyard. Glancing inside, I saw that there were still many disciples going in and out. Wu Yan didn't plan to wade into the muddy waters of that mission, so he didn't mean to go in and have a look, but turned his head and walked towards the outside of the valley, preparing to leave the valley, and after he was ready to go out of the valley, he sacrificed the magic weapon and flew back to the Five Elements Peak directly.
At this time, three disciples with unkind expressions walked out of the deacon's courtyard. I only heard the person who walked in front shouting, "That boy, you stop for me!"
Wu Yan looked back, and his brows couldn't help frowning. The man at the front, he is no stranger. This person is none other than Zhuge Ji, the steward of the Deacon's Academy. He was walking towards Wu Yan with an unkind face at the moment. Behind him, there were two more people, both of whom were true disciples of the Great Perfection Realm of the Qi Refining Period.
Where did Wu Yan seem to have seen these two people, and after thinking about it carefully, he also had a vague impression, and the two of them seemed to be two of the disciples who stood out in this batch of cultivation classics and became the true disciples of the cultivation sect.
One seems to be called Lei Chuang, and the other is called Zhao Wugui, looking at the marks on their chests, they are all disciples of Fire Spirit Peak.
