Chapter 221 Sword Pill

"It's too late, I will punish myself with three cups in a while."

Yu Ci walked over with big strides, first greeted He Qing and Gan Shizhen, then greeted Senior Brother Baode, and finally bowed to the four groups, as if he had met him.

The monks of all sects in the cliff city, from Shi Song down, stood up to greet them, and all the foreign monks present, who knew Yu Ci's identity, also stood up to pay respects.When such a group of people got up, those who couldn't figure out the situation also stood up one after another, and there was a lot of noise at the banquet, which brought about a big scene.

"Huh..." Gan Shi really didn't expect Yu Ci to be so popular, and was quite surprised for a moment.

He Qing didn't move, stretched out his hand to caress the top of Shangu's head, let the big guy go out of the hall first, and then said softly: "Your nephew, your cultivation is not very good, and the method of using force is very good. He has the ability to pretend to be a tiger, see, [-] to [-]% of the people present are bluffed by him."

Hearing Aunt Zu's words, Gan Shizhen lowered her eyes and smiled.But in my heart I don't think so, how can a young man who dares to face ghosts, beasts and more than a hundred demons with his supernatural powers be able to talk about it as a "fox pretending to be a tiger"?

Yu Ci greeted around, and then turned his gaze to Bi'chao on the main seat.The petite but graceful female cultivator was holding the pot to pour the wine, and amidst the gurgling sound, she chuckled and said, "Although Immortal Yu came late, he brought a good taste, so there is no punishment for the wine. I just ask the immortal to make up for it." Serve this cup."

The female cultivator held the cup of wine herself, picked it up with a smile, walked away from the table and walked to Yu Ci's side.There was a sudden silence at the table, Yu Ci's heart moved slightly, and his eyes swept across the faces of the three suzerains, Shi Song, Dong Yan and even Monk Yi Xin, very quickly.Of course these people knew what it meant when Bi Chao brought this glass of wine, but it seemed that they were all prepared for it.

This woman has only been here for a few days, and she has opened up the joints of several people with vital interests in the city.

"Compared to the wrist, that Chi Yin can really be ashamed to death..."

Yu Cisi came here, laughed, took the wine glass, and drank it down.

I don't know who started it, and the whole table applauded.

Afterwards, Bi Chao performed the duties of the master again, and was introduced by Yu Ci and Shen Wan.Both sides were a little surprised, Yu Ci was surprised that the person who came was not the expected Zhou Youde, Shen Wan didn't expect that the "Immortal Yu" that Zhou Youde mentioned for the first time turned out to be like this.

Both sides were adjusting their minds, and they just returned to their seats with only a few polite greetings.Yu Ci sat at the bottom of Baode, obliquely facing Shen Wan on the other side.

After sitting down, Yu Ci smiled: "I thought that this time, Guanshi Zhou was going to return to the Cliff City, but I didn't think it would be Guanshi Shen face to face... How is Guanshi Zhou?"

Shen Wan glanced at him and said, "Guanshi Zhou passed away a month ago."

As soon as the words were spoken, as long as the people at the banquet knew who Zhou Youde belonged to, they would all be stunned.

Yu Ci was about to raise his glass to pay tribute to Shen Wan, but when he heard that the raised glass stopped in mid-air, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Shen Wan's tone was calm: "After Manager Zhou left from Guizhou, a group of people went to the center of Yuema Lake, where they were attacked by bandits. There were 35 people in the caravan, and none of them survived."

"Robbers?"

Yu Ci was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he put down his glass, thinking that before Zhou Youde and his party came to the cliff city, they also ran into robbers who robbed them, making them very embarrassed.Logically speaking, after suffering such a loss, they should be more cautious no matter what, how could they turn around and end up like this?

He collected himself and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"It's a veteran who is used to this business. He struck ruthlessly without leaving any traces. This pavilion only learned of the news after many days after the incident. So far, no clues have been found."

Shen Wan's expression was as usual, but her eyes were cold.When she said this, all the monks at the table understood why this manager Shen had a rather cold attitude before.Although there is no reason to vent anger because of the tragedy, it is in line with human feelings, and no one can say anything.

Yu Ci was silent again.

But Shen Wan suddenly showed a smile: "Goods are expensive and cheap, life and death are always relative. We merchants may be lucky and prosperous, and when we make a lot of money, we may also be unlucky and lose money." We are used to it, so we don’t need to mention it again.”

She said it in a free and easy way, but compared with the previous attitude, no one believed that she really saw it.Shen Wan didn't give people time to think about it, and then said with a smile: "Since Chang Yu has arrived, why don't you take a look at the treasures brought by this pavilion?"

Yu Ci met her eyes, saw that her eyes were bright, and she had a sense of arrogance, made it clear that she would not accept those vain gifts, so she nodded and said no more.But at this moment, another important matter was before his eyes:

The manager has changed, so what about the previous agreements?

As soon as he thought about it, he felt tired all of a sudden.In fact, he came all the way from the Tianrift Valley. Although there were fish and dragons on the road, he was never idle because of one incident. He didn't show it on the face at this moment, but in fact he was exhausted. He was sitting on the seat and could hardly stand up. , I was rushed by my mind, and the feeling became stronger and stronger.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of sword chant sounded again, chilling the room.Just now, the horses walked around the air, circled several circles in the open space surrounded by seats, and the chill was strong, and then spread.

Except for Yu Ci, everyone here is at least a Huandan cultivator.Although the horse practiced around the sky quickly, it was clearly seen by everyone.Then someone shouted:

"Sword pill!"

The one who called out was Dong Yan, the leader of Wusheng Sword Sect.No matter what the occasion, this person always looked like he didn't get enough sleep. He was always gloomy and reticent, but this time he lost his composure.

After receiving the sword pills first, Shen Wan glanced at Dong Yan, nodded and said, "Master Dong's eyes are right, this is exactly the sword pill, and it was burnt and sacrificed by a peerless sword. It's a pity that the first The master passed away before he finished all his skills, and the fire of the sword pill was not pure, nor did it reach the point where the mind is harmonious."

As she spoke, she spread out her palm, and in her white jade-like palm lay a small sword that was only about an inch long.Although this sword is small, it has a complete shape, just like a delicate miniature sculpture.At this time, the little sword was breathing a cold glow, and there was a slight sound, and after only a few words, Shen Wan's palm was actually covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Seeing this vision, all the monks at the banquet were amazed.Dong Yan sat up straight, his eyes widened, his voice unconsciously raised a level: "Can you take a look?"

Shen Wan smiled slightly: "It's okay for you to pass it on."

After speaking, he handed over the sword pills to Shi Song, who was next in line, so he could take a closer look at them one by one.This is the real appearance of trading treasures, like just showing off the xia brocade clothes, and letting Bi Chao change them away, just a symbolic cutscene, in terms of seriousness, it is too far away.

Shi Song and Hu Dan didn't look at it for too long, and soon passed the sword pill to Dong Shan.It took the longest time to stay at his place, but it was much faster in the back, and it took only a quarter of an hour to go around and reach Yu Ci's place.

During this period, the monks at the table were all talking about Jianwan.Even if Yu Ci didn't know much about sword pills and sword circles before, he could get a general understanding of them by relying on his ears and asking the senior brother Baode next to him.

Jianwan is a kind of very wonderful treasure in this world, its nature is between sword weapon and magic weapon, and its appearance is also different.Generally speaking, there are two ways to make a sword pill. One is to directly make a pill, which is driven by the method of controlling the sword, which can transform into a sword light, which is invincible; the second is to find a good sword weapon and burn it with a special method , from small to large, three feet long, into a sword ball the size of a longan, the so-called "turning a hundred steels into soft fingers", should be so.

No matter which method is used, it takes a lot of effort to sacrifice and refine, probably only monks who specialize in swordsmanship have the energy to build it.But once practiced, the power is also very impressive. It is said that [-] to [-]% of the sword cultivators of Buxu series use sword pellets, especially those who take the "atomization" method, and the proportion is even higher.

The "Sword Pill" in Yu Ci's hands at this time is actually not worthy of its name, it looks like a delicate ornament.Yu Ci looked at it twice, and then transferred it to Baode, who was at the head, and from Baode to Gan Shizhen.At this point the circle is almost over.

Others looked at him as if he didn't care, but Yu Ci knew that the corners of his eyes twitched slightly at this moment, and his heart was never calm:

"Why is this thing carved out of the same mold as mine?"

What Yu Ci thought of was the small sword he got from Taoist Yan.It's also about an inch long and short, with complete shapes and shapes, but it's sharper than the one just handled, and it doesn't have the vision of the tentacles being frosted.

At this time, he heard Gan Shizhen talking to He Qing. The two female cultivators were the most cultivated people at the table, and their opinions were undoubtedly the most important.Among them, Gan Shizhen is a master of swordsmanship and has the right to speak:

"This sword pill is still a little short of hand, and it will take another three to five years of sacrifice to complete the skill. But the most precious thing is that there seems to be a trace of the sword left by the senior master who sacrificed this sword in the sword pill. It is also one of the rare types that are attached to the five elements, and the frost formation is quite impressive. If you can study it carefully, you will get more than the sword pill itself."

Yu Ci only felt that he had quite a lot of knowledge, and there was one thing he didn't understand, so he toasted Baode a glass of wine first, and then asked, "How do you know that the sword pill contains sword intent?"

Baode has practiced for many years, and his foundation of knowledge is much stronger than Yu Ci's. Hearing this, he toasted and said with a smile: "Usually introspecting with spiritual consciousness, there is a method of appraising treasures, which is dedicated to this. It's easy, just use your own sword intent to infiltrate. If there is no other thing in the sword pill, it will naturally disappear. If there is, there are two situations: the quality matches, the sword pill submerges, and Yin Yin screams; If the quality does not match, the sword intent will collide, like gold and iron clashing..."

"Chong!"

Under the long table, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron, Baode's mouthful of fine wine was sprayed out, and all the dishes on the table were ruined.

All the monks looked at him in unison.

Yu Ci was also taken aback, but he reacted very quickly, thinking of the next important matter, he made a decision.Without concealing it, he slapped the newly identified sword pill on the table in his hand, and said with a smile: "If it hadn't been for Manager Shen's reminder, I would not have known that this thing I got earlier would be a treasure..."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Shen Wan, laughed and said: "This sword pill doesn't match my sword intent, I'm afraid I will make a move today. I will give [-]% of the proceeds to Guanshi Shen as a token of my gratitude."
