Catalog of Destruction

"Senior brother Xie, whom I know as junior brother, has always been easy-going and gentle. He rarely gets too happy or angry. Now that I heard senior brother mention it, I never imagined that senior brother was in such torment during his soul stage." Shi Xuan still couldn't quite understand this feeling. When I reached the two hurdles of entraining qi and soul, I broke through quickly, and I basically didn't feel the feeling of being stuck at that step for decades and not being able to overcome it.

Xie Fangwei smiled bitterly: "It is Brother Wei's character that he is easy-going and bland, and his inner suffering are two different things. In Shenhun Consummation, Brother Wei has been stuck for nearly fifty years. There was even a period of time where he could not see the advanced high-grade golden elixir at all. Hope, at that time, was often wavering. At this moment, I thought that I would just give up on the middle-grade golden elixir, which is better than 300 years of life. The next moment, I overturned the previous decision, and I felt as if I was trapped in a secret room. , struggling but never seeing the light of day. Several times Wei brother went to Ziqi Donglai Tower, ready to exchange for the Nine-turn Nine Return Jade Liquid Divine Pill, but every time at this time, Wei brother's stubborn temper broke out and he insisted on achieving the top grade. Golden elixir is not acceptable.”

Shi Xuan did not expect that Xie Fangwei would pour out his bitterness in front of him, nor did he expect that Brother Xie, who had always been confident and powerful in his heart, would have such an experience. The high-grade golden elixir was indeed extremely difficult. No wonder many casual cultivators and sect disciples felt that It was elusive and out of reach: "Fortunately, senior brother, you finally persisted, and the sect finally got a high-grade golden elixir. In fact, senior brother, your stubborn temper should be due to your firm heart."

Xie Fangwei regained his usual calmness and said with a faint smile: "Brother, you have a similar personality to Junior Brother Shi. In addition, Senior Uncle Mo supports me, so I vomit this bitterness in front of you and share this experience with you, so as not to hurt you." If you make a mistake in the future, it will be difficult for you to make up for it. I can’t tell you how to achieve a top-grade golden elixir, but I still have four words for you: Persistence and determination.”

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother. I really didn't expect that the master would ask you, senior brother." Shi Xuan really didn't expect it, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Master Mo Yuan is a wizard who has achieved high-grade golden elixirs in the thirty years since he perfected his soul. , I’m afraid I didn’t have much struggle and suffering, so I asked Xie Fangwei to give me guidance. Only this kind of heartfelt feeling can impress me deeply.

Xie Fangwei smiled and said: "Actually, even if Master Uncle Mo doesn't come, I will come to exchange my cultivation experience with you. After all, our friendship is not shallow, and even other true disciples, soul elders, and inner disciples, as long as they come If you ask me for advice, I will tell you the truth. This is one of the foundations of my Penglai sect's ten thousand years of inheritance. By the way, there is another matter related to you, Junior Brother Shi, when Master Mo comes to Tianshu Peak."

"I don't know what's going on?" Shi Xuan was a little curious.

Xie Fangwei's face became solemn: "Uncle Mo recommended to the leader that you take over Tianji Peak, because he will break through to the Yin Shen stage within five or six years. Brother is the head of the Zhanglu Hall, so he was summoned by the leader to listen. I just found out about this.”

"Master has mentioned this to junior brother, but why is senior brother so solemn?" Shi Xuan asked in confusion.

Xie Fangwei did not hide anything: "The main reason is that I think this will put a lot of pressure on you, junior brother. According to the sect's regulations, the first person on each peak is the person with the highest cultivation level. If the Lord Yin Shen is not in this world, it will not be mentioned. Mo After Uncle Master left, there were several people with the highest cultivation levels in Tianji Peak, including the elders of the previous generation and the true disciples of this generation. Their cultivation levels are the same as yours, Junior Brother Shi, and they have stayed at this level of perfection. The time is much longer than that of Junior Brother.”

"So, it is very likely that within a few years of you taking over Tianji Peak, Junior Brother Shi, some of them will have achieved the Golden Elixir. At that time, you will have to give up your first position. Brother Wei is worried that this will affect your state of mind, Junior Brother Shi. Bad changes will occur and you will be hit hard, but in fact this is unfair competition. Junior brother, you have just reached perfection, but their oldest has been in perfection for more than eighty years. Maybe he won’t be able to survive in a few years. Use the Nine Turns Nine Returning Jade Liquid Divine Pill to achieve the Golden Pill."

Shi Xuan knew this, but being in charge of the world of Lei Mansion and having more opportunities for enlightenment would be of great benefit to his own practice. It was impossible to push away the master's good intentions, so he had to say: "Junior brother can only turn pressure into motivation."

Xie Fangwei shook his head: "There is no need to bear this pressure. The change in life span is the biggest pressure, anything more than that will be worse. In short, if this happens, junior brother, just keep a normal mind."

After continuing to chat with Xie Fangwei for a while, and making an appointment to come to ask for advice next time, Shi Xuan said goodbye to him and went to the Foreign Affairs Hall.

…………

Two years later, Shixuan Cave Mansion.

"You said there might be genius treasures such as phoenix blood, invisible divine iron, seven-color spider queen silk, etc. that will appear at the underground auction in the Western Wasteland in half a month?" Shi Xuan asked the deacon of the Foreign Affairs Hall who was standing in front of him calmly. Zhao Fengan was a little surprised at the same time. Not to mention the invisible magic iron, phoenix blood was very rare.

Because although the Phoenix clan is tied with the Dragon clan, it has become extinct in this world, and the phoenix blood of the genius earth treasure type that Shi Xuan needs must come from a phoenix of the soul level.

However, no matter how rare Phoenix blood is, it is not as rare as Kunpeng Stomach. Both require the level of Yuan Shen. Phoenix blood can also be obtained through tricky methods, such as collecting drops of it when Phoenix is ​​fighting other Yuan Shen real people or monsters. The fallen blood, or directly exchange it for an item that can make the soul-level phoenix's heart beat. After all, it is only a few drops of blood. For it, it is really not a big sacrifice. But Kunpeng's stomach can only be dealt with head-on. You can't go up and say: "Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, let's talk about lending your stomach to Pindao?" There can only be one consequence of doing this, and Kunpeng will swallow it directly. Soothe its stomach.

Zhao Fengan replied respectfully: "Reporting to Uncle Shi, according to the information collected by the Foreign Affairs Office, this is indeed the case. Not long ago, a relic of Yang Shen Zhenren was discovered in the outer layer of the Western Wilderness. This Phoenix Blood, Invisible Divine Iron , Seven-color Spider Queen Silk, etc. all flow out from it, and may appear in this auction. Moreover, it is rumored that there is a magic weapon deeper in the Relic Palace. Unfortunately, the combination of the formation restriction and the space storm will make it impossible for even an ordinary Yang Shen. It’s also hard to get to in person.”

The reason why it is possible is because of the rules of the auction itself. Those monks who have items that need to participate in the auction will not give the items to the auction host in advance, because in that case, they are likely to encounter the forces hosting the auction. If you are very interested in the item and buy it forcibly or simply rob it, even if it is not the first two but a fair sale, it will not be as much as the one with the highest bid at the auction. Therefore, these monks have only arrived at the auction site to Take out the items and auction them on the spot, paying the money and delivering the goods.

For example, if Shi Xuan now puts the reincarnation disk up for auction and hands it over to the presiding force, the most likely outcome is that the other party will directly take it away. After all, this is what all monks below the Yuan Shen dream of, and then they will compensate him with a sum of property of comparable value. Shi Xuan, this is for the sake of Shi Xuan being a true disciple of the Penglai Sect.

However, there is a problem. If the items to be auctioned are only known at the auction site, it will be difficult to ensure that the monks who come to participate in the auction have what they want, and it will be difficult to sell them at a good price. Therefore, in the Western Wasteland The rules of the auction are that if there are items that you want to put on the auction, you should inform the power hosting the auction in some way in advance, and then the host will reveal the news to the monks who have the ability to buy it, so that these monks can see that they have it. If you want something, you will come to participate, and there will be no silence.

Of course, this means that the information given by the auction is only about items that are willing to be auctioned at the auction, and there is no guarantee that they will be available at the time. For example, the monk who owns the item has an accident, or finds a better buyer, or uses it. It's a matter of chance, or someone is simply bragging. In short, there is only the possibility of Phoenix blood and invisible magic iron appearing.

Shi Xuan nodded: "I know this, but will monks be restricted from participating in this auction?"

"Uncle Shi, there are restrictions. This auction is jointly organized by the casual cultivator alliance and some medium-sized sects in the Western Wilderness. We are afraid of being crowded, so we made some special tokens and gave them to those who have the ability to participate in the auction. Our Penglai sect has received three monks, so if Master Shi wants to go, there will be no problem. As for those monks who have not received special tokens, they will be able to enter if they can prove their financial strength." Zhao Fengan's words made Shi Xuan feel relieved. Auctions hosted by the Loose Cultivators Alliance and others would basically not lead to bad situations like fighting at the auction. As for being followed later and leading to a fight, the auction would not be closed. It's a matter of course.

Shi Xuan asked curiously: "What kind of financial resources do I need to prove to get in?"

Zhao Fengan smiled cautiously: "A piece of top-quality spiritual stone, a symbol of status and financial resources." In nature, there are no top-quality spiritual stone mines. Where they come from, Shi Xuan doesn't know, and there are no records in the sect's classics. There is no record, but it is very rare anyway. After all, other spiritual stones become waste stones after being used up in formations, but top-quality spiritual stones can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on their own and recover.

"Well, nephew Zhao, please step aside." Shi Xuan gave Zhao Feng'an a middle-grade spiritual stone. At Shi Xuan's current status, it would be too stingy to ask someone to do private things without giving him a reward. Of course, a reward It doesn't have to be a spiritual stone, it can be a pointer, a magic weapon, a material, a special spell, and so on.

Waiting for Zhao Fengan to leave, Shi Xuan still couldn't believe it. It took only two years for the Foreign Affairs Department to inquire about the Phoenix blood. It was beyond Shi Xuan's expectation. It can only be said that he was really lucky. After all, in just a short time In the past two years, Shi Xuan has not changed much in terms of his cultivation, skills, and magical weapons. He only took the time to visit Yu Ruoshui and Zhou Dielan on Yaoguang Island to exchange their experiences on each other's cultivation.

However, the dandy children of the Yu family were in awe of Shi Xuan and did not dare to show off their arrogance in front of him. They did not play the role of the children of the family who were short-sighted, high-minded, and narrow-minded, thereby offending Taoist Master Shi. After all, in the Three Islands Sea Area , Not to mention Master Mo Yuan, Shi Xuan's own name alone, a master of the Soul Stage, a true disciple of the Penglai Sect, a master of swordsmanship, no one of them could be offended by the family's children.
