Haoyu Zhenxian

Chapter 380
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Ping quietly went out after asking the fat shopkeeper about the location of Fangshi.

With a distance of tens of miles, one meal is enough.

Xikoufang City is located on the dividing line between inner and outer cities.

The structure of this intermediate square city is very peculiar, completely different from Jinrui Island, Wangqin Island and other places.

It is not composed of several streets, what is presented in front of you is a super large pavilion with a height of one hundred feet and a semicircle.

All stalls and shops are concentrated in it.

Chen Ping nodded secretly, thinking that such a layout is very good, and it is especially convenient to manage. The squares and cities built by the Chen family in the future can also follow the example of No. [-] and No. [-].

After paying the fee for a few spirit stones, Chen Ping passed through the restriction, and the environment in front of him changed, and a bright hall decorated with various corals and jade appeared.

Xikoufang City is divided into three floors.

The first floor occupies the largest area, and there are more than 2000 monks trading here.

With a wandering mentality, Chen Ping walked around slowly.

Two days later, he walked through 500 shops and more than [-] stalls.

Not to mention, there are really a few shops here, which opened Chen Ping's horizons.

A yard that sells spirit beasts, specializing in the sale of various domesticated monsters, the main ones are a second-level fox demon and cat demon.

Chen Ping saw with his own eyes a few monks who concealed their true faces, sneaked into the backyard with their servants, and did not come out for a long time.

After unceremoniously probing with his spiritual sense, he withdrew back with embarrassment on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the atmosphere of this Xikou Island is very tough and weird.

Another refining room can accept materials from practitioners at any time, and refine various magic weapons according to the requirements of the material owner.

And the store sells a special treasure of Xikou Island, Mingmuzhu.

With the help of this bead, one can easily see things within a radius of twenty miles without using mana or spiritual consciousness.

After verifying the efficacy of the Bright Eye Bead, Chen Ping bought one without hesitation for [-] spirit stones.

Although this thing may have been tasteless, but in case it comes in handy, it would not be wrong to spend this money.

Chen Ping didn't stay long and went up to the second floor.

This floor is twice as small as the first floor, but the items sold are much better.

There are rare treasures such as the broken-level pills of the foundation-building monks, the third-level low-grade talismans, and hundreds of years of spiritual grass.

Unfortunately, Chen Ping didn't gain anything here.

So, he quickened his pace and walked to the top floor of Fangshi.

Through a long corridor, a hanging door appeared ahead.

A row of green vines hanging down are lush and lush, as if they have come to a dense ancient forest.

And between the corridor and the half-empty door, there is still a deep black hole.

At the end of the passage, there are two foundation-building monks holding spiritual weapons and guarding them meticulously.

Seeing Chen Ping approaching, one of them, Zhu Ji, spoke coldly and told the conditions for going to the third floor.

"The black shop style of Longmen Inn is originally from the same line as the Zhou family."

Chen Ping cursed from the bottom of his heart, and handed over a middle-grade spirit stone, because he had to pay another sum of money to go to the top floor.

"Fellow Daoist put it away. When you leave Fangshi, you need to go back the same way and return the guide spirit jade intact."

Zhou Jiazhuji squeezed out a forced smile, and then threw a pure white jade pendant, signaling him to wear it on his waist.

Chen Ping checked it with his spiritual consciousness, and after finding no problems, he did as required.

Then, a glow suddenly emerged from the jade pendant, and a vine automatically flew to his side in the brilliance's package.

Holding on to the vine, with a light jump, Chen Ping passed through the black hole below and landed firmly behind the door.

The jade pendant around his waist released another slight wave, and the transparent barrier immediately opened a gap for Chen Ping to fly in.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge hall with a radius of hundreds of feet.

There are thirty resplendent and resplendent shops all around.

Including the famous "Lanyue Pavilion", "Xikou Wanbao Building" run by the Zhou family, etc.

There are not many monks on the third floor of Fang City, and together with the shopkeepers, guards, attendants, etc. of the major shops, there are only about 70 to [-] people.

There are very few qi training monks lingering here, and they mainly build foundations.

In the center, the most conspicuous Lanyue Pavilion, there is even a female cultivator from the early Yuan Dan period.

It should be the monk in charge sent by Lanyuezong to sit in one side.

Lanyue Pavilion is a chamber of commerce directly under Lanyuezong.

Among the third-level islands in the Moon Lane Sea Area, Moon Lane Pavilions are basically set up.

This pavilion is not only an eyeliner for gathering intelligence, but also a tool for him to make money.

But Kongming Island is one of the few third-level islands that does not have the Lanyue Pavilion.

Now, Chen Jiajiu is occupying the magpie's nest, and it is not clear whether Lan Yuezong will step in.

Of course, if Shang Zong had the intention of opening Lanyue Branch, Chen Ping would definitely give a high-five and warm welcome.

After all, the two human golden elixir and a fourth-order demon clan are high above the moon, and he dare not resist in the slightest.

Before leaving, he specifically explained to Chen Xiangwen.

If Lanyue Pavilion takes a fancy to Kongming Island, it must give away the best location in Fangshi for free, and make good friends with the appointed pavilion master at any cost, to show the Chen family's submission.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, in the cultivation world where one's own might decides everything, was vividly interpreted by the monks.

But a momentary surrender does not mean the loss of a sincere heart of Aoshuang Douxue.

Fifty years ago, the Chen family was trying to please each other, circling between Jinrui Island and Broken Star Gate.

But now?

Not only did Chen Ping destroy the Reverse Star Sect with his own hands, even the Broken Star Sect trembled and survived under his breath.

How can we know what the situation will be like in the next 50 or 100 years?
What's more, after discovering part of Jinzhu's mysteries, Chen Ping gradually became indifferent to foreign things.

Jianzong wins the tripod and defeats Shangzong. It is best to succeed, and it doesn't matter if you lose.

If you keep your life, one day you will be able to make a comeback with the treasure.

Putting away distracting thoughts, looking around from the corner of his eye, Chen Ping began to stroll around the top floor.

On both sides of the hall, fifty or sixty monks sat cross-legged at a distance, with some objects placed in front of them, all of them were silent and very quiet.

Scattered other people were either carefully observing the things on the stall, or chatting with the stall owner through sound transmission with their lips moving slightly.

Some people walked around the shops and stalls in the hall, chatting with the treasure owner from time to time, and then saw them hiding in a remote corner, whispering.

Chen Ping stood where he was, swept his spiritual sense, raised his legs without saying a word, and walked towards a nearby stall.

The stall owner was a sixty-year-old man in a red robe. His cultivation level was the same as that of Chen Ping in the hidden realm, and he had reached the late stage of foundation establishment.

And on the booth at his feet, there were only two strange-looking objects.

One is light green in color and has five claws, like the root of a certain spiritual plant, while the other is a blood-red ore the size of a fist, shining brightly.

Just as Chen Ping was approaching quickly, the old man in red heard the sound of footsteps, and looked up at him expressionlessly.

Chen Ping smiled at him, he knew the two things in front of the old man.

The blood-red stone is a third-order ore for refining top-grade spiritual weapons, which is relatively rare.

But his real target is the plant that exudes strong wood-type spiritual power.

This is the rhizome of a thousand-year-old Qingfeng dragon muscle grass!

When Chen Ping first discovered this thing, he was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart.

For nothing else, the supplementary item of the Jiubian Yanling Jue Yuandan period is Qingfengyu Soup, and the main material for cooking this soup is the thousand-year-old Qingfeng Longjicao.

Just coming to the top floor of Fang City, I had an unexpected harvest, which is really good luck.

"Friend Dao, I'm Xia Yeping, how do you sell this thing?"

Pointing to the light green rhizome, Chen Ping clasped his fists very politely.

He didn't have the whole mystery of playing hard to get, and directly explained the purpose of coming.

"Not for sale."

The red-robed old man shook his head and said flatly.

"Since fellow daoists set up stalls to display treasures in Fangshi, they always have plans to trade, why not state the conditions frankly so that Ye can weigh them."

Chen Ping shook his sleeve robe calmly, and said patiently.

"You don't need to open your mouth and shut up about this thing, Daoist Ye. The temptation of this treasure is a vain attempt to find out. Although Lu is old, he is far from the point where his eyesight is dim. , let alone fifteen thousand spirit stones."

Xing Xu discovered that the buyer was a monk of the same level, the tone of the red-robed old man was not indifferent, but definitely not enthusiastic.

"Hey, Ye Mou has no intention of taking advantage of you."

Chen Ping blinked, and said calmly, "I'll give you [-]."

"Lu Mou said earlier that this item is not for sale."

The old man surnamed Lu frowned, looked around, and explained in a low voice: "A month ago, Lu discovered a seabed spiritual vein in a sea area thousands of miles away from Xikou Island."

"There is a second-order Dzogchen monster in the sea spirit vein. For some reason, Lu must get the flesh and blood of this monster."

"But I'm only in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, so I can't defeat that monster alone."

"That's why Lu set up a stall in Fangshi and invited his colleagues to help me, and the root of this spirit grass is the reward for selling. Daoyou Ye is also in the late stage of foundation establishment, and it barely meets my expectations."

After speaking freely and sincerely, the old man surnamed Lu regained his cool expression and waited quietly for Chen Ping's decision.

"Ye Mou is not interested in hunting monsters in the sea, and he doesn't have the time."

Chen Ping shook his head, and said lightly: "I can bid up to [-] spirit stones, Fellow Daoist Lu can figure it out."

"This item is really not for sale, and you can't give it as much as you want."

The old man surnamed Lu raised his eyelids, obviously hesitating for a while, but he still said firmly.

"Fellow Daoist only sells the roots. Ye is very curious, where are the branches and leaves of this spiritual plant?"

Seemingly indifferent to the old man's refusal, Chen Ping pursed his lips and changed the subject.

The key to the essence of Qingfenglongjicao lies in the branches and leaves, and it is absolutely impossible to refine an auxiliary substance from a mere root.

He looked at the cracks in the rhizomes, as if they were broken off abruptly.

I think the branches and leaves of this grass should be in the hands of the old man surnamed Lu or someone else.

Although Qingfenglongjicao is a third-order elixir, it is extremely difficult to find in the outside world for thousands of years. After finally finding a trace of clues in Fangshi, Chen Ping is unwilling to simply stop the investigation like this.

He had already planted a ray of spiritual consciousness in the body of Lu Zhuji, unless this person hid in Xikoufang City and did not come out, otherwise he would not escape his persecution.

"Fellow Daoist Ye seems to be insincere, let's let go of the transaction, Lu is not in a hurry, and slowly wait for fellow daoists who are willing to help me kill monsters to appear."

The old man surnamed Lu didn't answer his inquiry at all, and closed his eyes with a cold face.

"This thing is very important to me, Ye Mou can let you go, when shall we go?"

Reluctantly looking and looking at the root, Chen Ping struggled for a long time, and finally said with determination.

"You Daoist Ye was so forthright early in the morning, Lu wouldn't be able to speak ill at each other."

The old man surnamed Lu relaxed his expression, and said solemnly: "As soon as that monster dies, Lu will definitely offer the root of the thousand-year-old spirit grass with both hands as soon as possible."

"I hope that Fellow Daoist Lu will tell Ye the whereabouts of the spirit grass branches and leaves later."

Chen Ping nodded slightly and said calmly.

At this moment, a few stalls away, a stall owner who had built a great foundation was cautiously unfolding his spiritual sense to spy on the situation here.

"This is an additional condition. Lu depends on your performance."

The old man surnamed Lu spoke vaguely, and with a wave of his hand, he put the few exhibits into the storage ring.

Then they nodded with Chen Ping, and the two left the hall in a tacit understanding, and walked out through the passage one after the other.

"Hey, didn't the boy born here only enter the top floor of Fangshi less than a quarter of an hour ago?"

After the backs of the two disappeared, the Foundation Establishment guard on the left said strangely.

"Hey, didn't you see Lao Lu following behind him?"

Another member of the Zhou family, Zhu Ji, gave a strange laugh, and said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, Lao Lu's technique of catching big fish is becoming more and more exquisite. I remember that this is the third fellow Taoist who went with him in a year. .”

"It's too presumptuous. How dare you do such a bad thing in our Zhou family's market."

Zhuji who spoke at first had a cold light in his eyes, and said angrily.

"Outsiders, clan brother, don't worry about it too much, as long as he doesn't brazenly attack in Xikou City, what does it have to do with our clan!"

The companion shook his head, and said leisurely: "And you may not be clear, brother, the mastermind behind Lao Lu is Wang Daoyou, the top three half-step Yuandan in this city, we should just turn a blind eye and close one eye." Just watch the show."

"With the strength of Wang Daoyou, ordinary foundation building, there is absolutely no chance of survival."

"Poor fellow Taoist, who has worked so hard to reach the later stage, but will be cut off on my Xikou Island."

At the same time as his words fell, a purple-clothed Taoist flew down dragging a vine.

Seeing this, the two Foundation Establishers of the Zhou family immediately stopped talking, and greeted the fellow visitor with a smile on their faces.

……

Two days later.

Fangshi on the top floor of Xikou City, in front of Lanyue Pavilion.

A thin yellow-faced monk was warmly received by the maid and went all the way to the box on the second floor.

After ordering a few delicious and expensive spiritual dishes, the maid's eyes flickered, implying that she could stay to accompany the meal.

The yellow-faced monk waved his hand impatiently, and the maid fell silent, closed the door and retreated out.

"I changed into a new set of clothes. It seems that the five hundred Taoist robes that Yun'er sewed have not been used by me for a long time."

Lying on the bed, the yellow-faced monk thought secretly.

He generally seldom changes robes.

If the clothes are dirty, they can be restored to cleanliness with a dust removal technique.

Unless it is stained with blood, brains and other dirty things, he will change from beginning to end.
