Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Return of the King
Zhang Yunfei didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he woke up, he found himself in a special space, with no sky, no white clouds, no mountains and no water.
He remembered the middle-aged woman named Nihuang, Shangguan Shocking Dream, who had already stepped into the realm of transforming gods with half a foot, disappeared in the middle of her wave, what kind of power was this!
He saw his empty left arm, almost broken at the root, but the break had healed, and a round ball of flesh had grown, a little itchy. He reached out and scratched the broken arm, and suddenly felt extremely depressed, there was only one arm left, did he want to be a one-armed swordsman in the future?
Zhang Yunfei stood up and moved his body, he could feel that his body was full of vigorous vitality. It's an extremely mysterious feeling, and it's hard to explain.
He suddenly remembered the "Immortal Phoenix Blood Element" mentioned by Nihuang before he fainted, and hurriedly mobilized his divine sense to investigate. He felt that his consciousness was still sharp, and better than ever. Finally, he found the remaining immortal phoenix blood element in the spiritual sea, wrapped in a circle of crystal white light. He tried to break the seal, but he didn't move.
It seems that he can be alive, recover so quickly, and have this incomparably vigorous vitality, which should be related to this immortal phoenix blood element. Zhang Yunfei had the cold snow sword beside him, he picked up the sword and wanted to stab himself to see the result, but in the end he gave up, or find a way to get out of here first.
He ran forward for a short distance and came to a border, like a flowing curtain of water. He reached out to touch it, and found that it could penetrate it. He tried to slowly stretch his body and feet out, but he lost his balance with one foot in the air, screaming "Ahhhh To outsiders, he seemed to have jumped out of thin air.
As if in a dream, everyone disappeared, and only themselves remained. If it weren't for the fact that there were still traces of stones on the ground that had been scorched by the phoenix fire, he would have thought that he had had a dream, and of course the broken arm.
Broken arm! He suddenly remembered something, my indefinite bracelet! My little black!
He rummaged through the rubble of the cave for his severed arm, but in the end he couldn't find anything, and in frustration crossed his waist with one handβand only with one hand.
"Who the is so boring that I took my severed arm? Could it be that I was taken away by a wild beast or a wild dog?" Zhang Yunfei muttered to himself, scratching the back of his head. Of course, he wouldn't know that it was Luo Xian'er, a "beast" or "wild dog", who took his severed arm, along with the uncertain bracelet on the severed arm.
He wouldn't even know that at this moment, Luo Xian'er was killing in the Ziyang Sect, because that day when Luo Xian'er was holding his broken arm and crying bitterly, it happened that the people of the Ziyang Sect came to find their sect master, Wan Jianting, and provoked Luo Xian'er very uninterestingly.
In short, he now has nothing but a cold snow sword.
Zhang Yunfei thought of the people of the Ziyang Sword Sect and the Bounty Hunter Alliance who were wiped out by the Nihuang, they would definitely not give up easily, and they would inevitably let people investigate. Moreover, with the Yuan Shi Zhen Sutra, the Zhuxian Sword Style, and the Immortal Phoenix Blood Yuan, any of these three things can bring death to himself. He must leave the Silver Moon Empire and even the Green Island immediately and go to his original destination, the Wasteland!
Arashi is a very special place. Its territory is smaller than that of Qingzhou, and there is also an ancient force in the territory that has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, the Lingcang Sword Sect, located in the Seven Star Peak of the Tiancang Mountain Range. However, the Lingcang Sword Sect seems to have no intention of operating, its disciples are scarce, and its territory is also small, and it only occupies seven peaks for the purpose of establishing the sect. The distribution of the seven peaks just forms the Seven Star Arch Guard, which echoes the Big Dipper. In addition, there is no property under the door, and he does not participate in any battles in the desert island.
But no one dared to look down on the Spirit Cang Sword Sect. There was once a super force that wanted to challenge the Lingcang Sword Sect and invade the Seven Star Peak, but it was almost wiped out, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since. If it weren't for the mercy of the Lingcang Sword Sect, this super force would have been wiped out directly. This super force wants to occupy the Seven Star Peak for only one thing - the incomparably huge spirit stone veins under the Seven Star Mountain Range!
The Desert Island is a paradise for adventurers and a grave for the weak.
The wasteland is divided by tens of thousands of large and small forces, and the situation is complicated, and there is a perennial melee, and whoever has a hard fist has the final say. Therefore, mercenaries are particularly popular here, and the major forces recruit troops all year round, as long as the combat effectiveness is strong enough, they will not worry about glory and wealth.
Someone once asked the Lingcang Sword Sect to preside over the overall situation, but the Lingcang Sword Sect was unmoved, but threw out a sentence: Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs.
This sentence is generally speaking: Heaven and earth treat all things the same, no one is particularly good, no one is particularly bad, everything develops naturally.
To put it more bluntly: life and death are fate, don't bother me.
Big Brother has expressed his position like this, and the various forces below have not yet turned the sky upside down. In this way, the common people are suffering. Every year, a large number of civilians die unprovoked in the war between major forces.
These are all things he learned from books when he was in the Taiqing Sword Gate.
Maybe it's a place like this that no one notices him.
Zhang Yunfei made up his mind, cast a swift step, and ran in the direction of the wasteland.
......
Caves, cold nights.
Zhang Yunfei sat by the fire to rest, looking very depressed.
After running all day with the wind step, he was still in the territory of the Silver Moon Empire. He misses the spirit beast Xiaohong more and more, and without Xiaohong, the speed of this rush is greatly affected. At this rate, I don't know if the year of the monkey will be able to reach the wasteland.
Fortunately, the spiritual power of the whole body had been automatically restored, and after melting part of the immortal phoenix blood element in his body, he could feel that the speed of cultivation had also increased a lot, and there was a faint tendency to break through the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. He wondered if he would grow a pair of phoenix wings and become a real birdman in the future.
After a night. Zhang Yunfei came out of the cave, his face was ruddy, his face was radiant, and his eyes were bright. The essence in the veins is tumbling, and the fist in his right hand seems to have the sound of thunder exploding, and his strength has increased many times. He is very satisfied with the current result, even against the masters of the fifth layer of the foundation building period, he also has the power to fight, combined with the surprise attack of "Secret Sword Killing", maybe the master of the fifth layer of the foundation building period will be wiped out by him if he is careless. Zhang Yunfei suddenly found that his sword skills were pitiful, only this "Secret Sword Killing", the Zhuxian Sword Style could not be used if it was not in the God Realm, and the Heavenly Thunder Sword Technique that he "stole from" Lu Qingchen was useless, and the power was not as good as "Secret Sword Kill".
After staying in Taiqing Sword Gate for a year, I only learned one trick, "Secret Sword Kill"!
After Zhang Yunfei smiled bitterly, he raised the wind to extreme speed, like a streamer of light.
......
Three days later.
Zhang Yunfei came to a lively small bazaar, which was the junction of the Silver Moon Empire and the Jinpeng Empire.
With a mixed flow of people, it almost becomes a small town of its own.
All kinds of small traders are enthusiastically selling, strange stones, elixirs, weapons.
There are also people selling birds and beasts that can carry people, such as unicorns, wolf riding beasts, horned eagle beasts, dragon eagle beasts, etc., which are locked in huge cages, each one several times larger than the body of an adult.
Zhang Yunfei was so hungry that his stomach croaked, but not a single spirit stone on his body was gone. He walked around the town, and found that there was a "Xianle Gambling House" in the town, which was exactly the same name as the one in Fengling Valley, and it was estimated that it should be a branch or something. He hesitated for a moment, then walked into the Xianle Casino.
This gambling house is smaller than the one in Fengling Valley, and the decoration is ordinary, but the popularity is very strong. The gambling stone field was almost crowded with people picking stones, and from time to time some people laughed, and more people cried.
Maybe there were too many guests, maybe it was because he saw that he was a poor ghost, Zhang Yunfei walked into the gambling house and no one greeted him.
He was indeed a poor ghost, and he couldn't even afford the lowest price in it.
He walked around the pile of Lingyuan stones, and he couldn't even make out a single hairy egg, and each stone looked the same. He remembered that when Fengling Valley was in Fengling Valley, a lot of stones were hollowed out and faked, and he expected that it would be the same here, if he relied on luck to open the stones, it was estimated that he would lose all his underwear.
If only Fibo had been here. I really miss Fibo! Zhang Yunfei sighed in his heart. I have to find a way to get some spirit stones, I didn't know how to cherish the spirit stones before, and I squandered them, but now I know the difficulties of poor days.
Zhang Yunfei remembered that when he first entered the Taiqing Sword Gate, with the affinity between the Yuan Shi Zhenjing and the aura, he successfully found the spiritual source imprint with the "star" shaped mark, maybe he could try again. After making up his mind, he found a relatively quiet corner, silently running the Yuan Shi True Sutra, and for a moment, he opened his eyes happily, it was really possible! Some of the stones had weak aura fluctuations, some had strong aura fluctuations, and some had no spirit stone fluctuations, although it was very subtle, he could feel the difference.
This is issued, only the gambling book is missing!
At this time, he found that there was actually a "pawn" place on the right side of the Xianle Gambling House, and there was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Obviously, there are often gamblers who come here to pawn their belongings in exchange for spirit stones to gamble on stones. Zhang Yunfei walked over and handed over the Cold Snow Sword.
"Well, it's a good sword!" the young man pulled out his cold snow sword and glanced at it, "It's worth twenty high-grade spirit stones." β
"It's only twenty high-grade spirit stones?" Zhang Yunfei shouted, "This sword is at least Xuan-level, add a little more." β
"That's why I gave you twenty high-grade spirit stones. If you don't want to be, forget it. "The young man is very strong, he understands the mentality of gamblers too well, this is Zhang Yunfei.
"Forget it, I still don't gamble, it's better to go out and rob. Zhang Yunfei made a gesture to take back the Cold Snow Sword.
"Ten more for you, no more. β
"Deal!"
The young middle-aged man discharged thirty high-grade spirit stones on the table.
Zhang Yunfei held the spirit stone in his arms and said, "I'm just temporarily mortgaging, and I'm going to redeem it later, don't sell it." β
"I know, I've heard this sentence countless times. The young man said, "But I'll only give you two hours." β
Zhang Yunfei walked towards the gambling stone field with the spirit stone in his arms.
The young man pulled out the cold snow sword again, and said to himself happily, "Wow, this sword is really good, the cold is invasive, it is extremely sharp, it is perfect to give it to Bing'er, she must like it." It's only thirty high-grade spirit stones, it's really worth it!"
He has already decided that Zhang Yunfei will lose smoothly in a short time.
......
About two hours later, Zhang Yunfei returned to the pawnshop with about two hundred high-grade spirit stones.
This harvest was very different from the one in Fengling Valley, but he was also very satisfied. This method of aura induction is still not comparable to Fibo's chakra. Sometimes I obviously feel that there are strong aura fluctuations in the stones, but when I open them, there are only a few high-grade spirit stones or super-grade spirit stones. Obviously, the Yuan Shi Zhenjing can only sense the presence of aura in the stone, but it cannot accurately determine its size. But in general, it's better to win more and lose less, after all, every time it won't be missed, it's just a matter of how much.
There is also an exchange office in the gambling workshop, and the source spirit stones that are opened can be taken away directly, or they can be exchanged for spirit stones that can be circulated. Zhang Yunfei exchanged all the source spirit stones for circulating spirit stones, in addition to redeeming the cold and cold snow sword, he also had to buy a lot of things, and there were no circulating spirit stones.
The young man looked at the pile of spirit stones, his eyes flickering and sneering.
"You're not going to tell me that you've already sold the sword, are you?" asked Zhang Yunfei with an eyebrow.
"Excuse me, this ...... I thought you ......," the young man said in embarrassment.
"You thought I was going to lose. Zhang Yunfei slapped the table and shouted.
The young man nodded.
"Get your boss!" Zhang Yunfei said calmly.
The young man instructed one of his men to find the boss. Soon, a burly middle-aged man came to the pawn shop.
"This little brother, I am Shi Hongda, the owner of this Xianle Gambling House, how can I help you. The middle-aged man asked, his tone quite polite.
"It turned out to be Boss Shi, I'm so happy to know you. Here's the thing, just now I gave a sword to this honest brother, and promised that he would come to redeem the sword within two hours, but before the time came, he told me that he had sold the sword. Of course, it's just a broken sword, and if you sell it, you sell it, it's nothing, just buy another one. It's just that I just have a special secret method to find out if there are good spirit stones in these spirit stone source materials, and you can see that it has only been less than two hours to win such a little, which is not much. And I also found that many of the rough stones in this stone field are fake, and many of them have really been dissected, and the spirit stones inside have been removed, and then filled with stones and sealed with secret methods. So many people are here, in case everyone knows about it...... You know what I mean. β
Zhang Yunfei had a smile on his face when he said these words, but anyone with a little IQ knew what he meant. In fact, he couldn't see the fake filled original stone at all, he could only sense whether there was a source spirit stone in it, these were just empirical talks, the world was as black as a crow, it was all Xianle Gambling House, and the means of counterfeiting were estimated to be similar.
Sure enough, Shi Hongda's face became more and more ugly, staring at the young man at the pawn shop, and shouted, "Give him back the sword immediately!"
The young man reluctantly returned the cold snow sword that had been "sold" to Zhang Yunfei.
"This ransom ......"
"The ransom is not necessary, this sword is regarded as a little bit of our gambling house. Thank you, little brother, for raising your hand. β
