After flying for a long time on the white clouds and the breeze, the old beggar looked back in the direction of Pozi Mountain, shook his head and said something.
"This fox has never said a word that is true."
Ji Yuan nodded.
"But sometimes it's not impossible to get information even if others tell lies. At least it seems that Tu Siyan is a little lacking in confidence. She is a little unsure whether the nine-tailed fox in Yuhu Cave Heaven knows that she has been suppressed."
The old beggar thought about it and agreed.
"If Tu Siyan is really planning something, and it was the Nine-Tailed Fox who instructed her, then the Nine-Tailed Fox will definitely keep an eye on her. When Tu Siyan was suppressed, the Nine-Tailed Fox must have felt something."
Having said this, the old beggar withdrew his gaze from Pozi Mountain and said something to Ji Yuan.
"So, it is more likely that the fox himself is causing trouble?"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
“It’s still too early to tell.”
A lot of strange things have happened over the years. Of course, this is a world with gods and monsters, and the world is so big that any strange things can happen. But Ji Yuan himself cares about the world and everything in it, so he tends to think too much.
"It's a pity that she is an eight-tailed fox demon from the Jade Fox Cave Heaven. It's not easy to deal with her too harshly. Otherwise, if I cut off her three-color energy and prevent her from attaining enlightenment in this lifetime, she will know how powerful she is!"
The old beggar's words made Ji Yuan's heart move again. He was very curious about what he meant by "cutting away the Three Hua Qi" and how to do it. However, it was not appropriate to ask now, so he could only take note of it secretly and find an opportunity to discuss it.
At the same time, Ji Yuan was also thinking about the old beggar's words in his heart.
This world is too big and there is too much information. Ji Yuan can only rely on contact to enrich his experience and knowledge little by little. Now he has some understanding of Yuhu Cave.
Just like the real dragons in the waters and seas of the world have the power to command the waters and seas, the Jade Fox Cave Heaven is also a place of considerable weight in the hearts of some monsters. Although there is no formal endorsement of this, it is a kind of customary balance relationship.
There is no absolute fairness in the world. The old beggar dared to suppress Tu Siyan for a hundred years, but he also had to consider the Jade Fox Cave and would not kill Tu Siyan directly. He had never been to the Jade Fox Cave, but the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox had this face.
As for Ji Yuan, he was more cautious than the old beggar. In addition to his concerns, he had thousands of thoughts extending to him. He had even begun to consider whether to move Lu Shanjun away.
"Mr. Ji, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Ji Yuan remained silent for a long time, the old beggar couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Don't you want to know how the old beggar can cut off the three-color energy of others? This kind of magical method is almost unheard of outside! Or are you also thinking deeply about the meaning of my words?"
The Three Hua Qi is just the old beggar’s own way of saying it. In fact, the appearance of the Three Huas when one attains enlightenment is itself a relatively abstract concept, the so-called “first glimpse into the mystery of the universe.”
There are actually many ways to cut off a person's foundation for spiritual practice, such as breaking their meridians, destroying their qi points, or damaging their soul, but there has never been any immortal method or Taoist scriptures that writes about cutting off the three-flower qi. The level of this kind of magical power or skill is extraordinary.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. I was just thinking about playing chess."
The old beggar curled his lips. It seemed that he was overthinking. Ji Yuan didn't think deeply about cutting off Sanhua at all.
"Let's consider refining magic weapons, Mr. Ji. Ruanshandu is very lively right now. Let's go and take a look. Maybe we can find some earth spirit objects that are qualified to be refined into magic weapons."
"Well, let's go!"
The two of them sped up their clouds and flew towards Jiufeng Mountain.
In Ruanshandu under the jurisdiction of Jiufeng Mountain, the market is still bustling, or it can be said that during the Xianyou Conference, this should be the most lively market within the range of activities of immortal cultivators. People, demons, spirits, gods, and immortals coexist harmoniously here to a certain extent.
Ji Yuan and the old beggar wandered around here, looked at all the markets, and searched all the "brand" buildings, but they didn't find anything suitable, well, or rather, they didn't find anything that the old beggar thought was suitable.
In a treasure pavilion called "Lingbaoxuan", a monk wearing a short coat and a token enthusiastically led Ji Yuan and the old beggar to the second floor.
"My two fellow Taoists, please be careful of the restrictions in the building and take the hospitality token. There happens to be a rare earth spirit treasure in my Lingbao Pavilion. You two have come to the right place this time!"
Even though the old beggar was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar from head to toe, it was certainly impossible for a treasure pavilion opened by immortal cultivators to look down on others, at least not when it came to Ji Yuan and the old beggar, as these two were obviously very accomplished.
As for the old beggar's tattered clothes, there is nothing to be surprised about. There are so many weird people who practice cultivation. Some of them study the method of materialization and transform themselves into flowers, plants, trees, mountains, rocks, and clouds. It is normal to wear tattered clothes.
Ji Yuan and the old beggar have visited many places. Unlike when they first arrived, Ji Yuan is still a little curious, while the old beggar has lost interest.
"Come, come, follow me, please sit down here and rest. I'll go to the third floor to get the earth spirit item."
There was obviously a formation when going upstairs. The scenery changed in an instant. When I stepped onto the second floor, I found that it was just a place like a living room and there was no place to hide treasure.
The hall is not big and certainly does not occupy the entire second floor compared to the scale of the building. This is obviously one of the changes in the formation. Maybe there are many rooms on the second floor.
The monk in Lingbaoxuan walked up the stairs to the third floor and came down soon with a wooden box in his hand. He walked quickly to Ji Yuan and the old beggar, put the wooden box on the table and opened it.
"My two Taoist friends, please have a look."
Ji Yuan knew what it was at a glance. He had seen this thing before, and the old beggar spoke faster than him.
"Mountain God Stone? Hey..."
There were two things in the wooden box. The most conspicuous one was a fist-sized black and yellow stone, and underneath the stone was a layer of yellow soil.
As he spoke, the old beggar just shook his head. These were just some ordinary stuff. Although the Mountain God Stone was rare, could it be compared with things of the same level as Samadhi True Fire, Guishui Golden Scale, and Heavenly Tribulation Thunder
Ji Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Actually, he thought the Mountain God Stone was good enough, but when he thought about refining a powerful magic weapon, he really needed to keep improving. He was also a little picky because of the old beggar.
"Alas, Daoist friend, you are wrong! This thing is not the Mountain God Stone, but the Mountain God Jade!"
"Mountain God Jade?"
Ji Yuan asked curiously. He had never heard of this term. The old beggar next to him was also slightly stunned and turned his attention back to the wooden box.
The manager nodded and answered with practical action. He took out the fist-sized black and yellow stone from the box, muttered something, and at the same time drew the spiritual energy in the room to the stone and even injected some magic power into it.
As the steward moved, the contents of the wooden box began to stir, and soon grains of earth and powder flew toward the steward's palm. About three breaths later, all the soil in the wooden box flew up and floated around his right hand, forming a hollow powder sphere made of loess.
"Watch out, both of you!"
I saw the soil in the air suddenly began to change its shape, sometimes gathering into strips, sometimes condensing into one place, sometimes turning into the shape of grass and trees, and sometimes spinning endlessly.
"It is said that the Mountain God Jade is the heart of an earth spirit with profound Taoist practice. When it dies, all its life's practice will return to the earth, and only the heart will remain! My two Taoist friends, does this item meet your eyes?"
Just now, the cultivator did not display any magical power to control the earth. He completely relied on the stone in his hand to control the changes in the soil. This is no longer something that the Mountain God Stone can do. It is estimated that what he had in his hand was really the Mountain God Jade that is hard to come by.
The old beggar looked at Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, the Mountain God Jade should be enough to make up for the Five Elements Earth Spirit, right?"
Ji Yuan also thought it was very suitable, so he quickly replied, "Yes, it is feasible."
"By the way, I wonder what it will take for Lingbaoxuan to give up the Mountain God Jade?"
"Haha, although we are cultivators, since we have opened this Lingbao Pavilion, we are naturally tainted with the spirit of business. We certainly don't want to lose money in this business. Both of you Taoist friends are masters, so I'm sure you won't make it difficult for me..."
After a lot of polite words, the monk in charge finally got to the point.
"How about this, if you two Taoist friends have anything precious, you can take it out and let me take a look. Even if I am not very good at judging, there are other Taoist friends in the pavilion who can identify it. If you don't have anything precious or you can't bear to give it up, you can also use the Five Elements Condensation to weigh it."
Ji Yuan nodded without moving his mouth, but he had already sent a message to the old beggar.
"Mr. Lu, can you lend me some of the Five Elements Condensation, or something suitable for barter?"
The old beggar stared at Ji Yuan and replied in a voice transmission.
"Mr. Ji, I'm a beggar. You want to borrow money from me? You don't have no money, do you?"
If you say that Ji Yuan does not have much gold and silver in the secular world, the old beggar will believe it, but he should be able to take out the hard currency of the spiritual world, right
"Do we need to use the magic money again? Or should we go back to Jiufeng Cave Heaven and borrow from the people in Yuhuaishan first?"
It is okay to exchange magic money for some insignificant things, but now the Mountain God Jade is very precious. Although it is troublesome to refine magic money, it is a completely cost-free business for Ji Yuan. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate
However, Ji Yuan still tried to take out the Dharma money. Business is about mutual consent. Things that are useful to others are good things. There is no need to bear too much psychological burden.
"This item was refined by Ji himself. The magic power on it is quite pure, and it can be transformed into all kinds of magic at will. Daoist friend, would you like to take it?"
This magic coin looked very good. As soon as Ji Yuan took it out, it attracted the attention of the old beggar and the monks from Lingbaoxuan.
"Fellow Daoist, would you allow me to take a closer look?"
Ji Yuan generously handed over a dozen, and the monk from Lingbaoxuan took it carefully, holding it in his hand and feeling it carefully.
"Don't be nervous, you can try to use one."
"Use one? Well... I'll obey your command!"
The monk from Lingbaoxuan first returned the extra magic coins to Ji Yuan, leaving only one in his hand. Then, without using anything else, he directly held the Mountain God Jade in one hand and the magic coins in the other. This time, he used the Mountain God Jade to control the earth directly, but did not use his own magic. Instead, he used the magic coins while thinking.
Brush, brush, brush…
The surrounding loess quickly gathered and continued to condense in front of the mountain god jade, and its volume condensed to the extreme in a short period of time.
The monk cut off his magic power, and the magic coin in his hand dimmed just a little, then he stretched out his hand and flicked it at the suspended soil.
A crisp sound of "ding..." was heard, and as the soil fell away, a piece of gold and iron was revealed inside.
“Gold is born from earth! I actually used it! I finally succeeded once? No, it wasn’t me who succeeded, it was this!”
The monk looked at the magic coin in his hand. After just a rough try, he understood its magical effect. It really worked as he wished and could transform into anything.
"How much money do you have? If..."
The monk gritted his teeth and looked at the dozen in Ji Yuan's hand, which were about thirty in number.
"If there are a hundred of them, I will sell the Mountain God Jade to you, Taoist friend!"
Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. This thing was used for emergencies. Although he couldn't refine too many, he still had a few hundred in his hands.
"Okay, a hundred coins! Ruyi coins sound better than French coins."
When the manager saw Ji Yuan’s smile, he knew that he had reported less. He felt a little annoyed but did not blame himself too much. After all, in terms of value, he felt that this business was not a loss.
