The stand-in was worth as much as fifteen dollars, but it was worth it. At least after using it, the strange feeling was gone.
"Huh? He's gone again?" In the small green building, the young man sat upright. In the mirror, Ye Ming disappeared again. Before, he clearly saw him entering the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce, but never saw him come out.
The "Eye of Heaven" is not omniscient and omnipotent, and it cannot monitor some places. For example, the properties owned by big forces such as the White Lotus Chamber of Commerce cannot be penetrated by the Eye of Heaven.
"Interesting." The young man tapped his long nails on the table, "I wonder if Xue'er can find this kid."
Ye Ming walked around outside, and then drove his substitute to find the formation master, Hu Zongyuan.
Hu Zongyuan is well-known throughout the White Lotus Continent, and he is not called the Master of Formation for nothing. The killing formation he created can pose a threat to the Realm Lord, which shows how powerful he is. After all, the Realm Lord is the most powerful existence among human beings.
Hu Zongyuan has a very high status in the White Lotus Sect, and he is also a cardinal elder of the White Lotus Sect. However, he usually doesn't like to get involved in the affairs of his family. Most of the time, he studies formations at his own home.
It is by no means an easy task to meet such a person. After asking around, he learned that Hu Zongyuan had recently made a proud work, called the Dust Formation.
So, he paid a visit in the name of purchasing the formation. People who want to buy the formation can travel ten miles every day. However, Ye Ming, as a powerful Tianzun, naturally had high purchasing power, so he gave priority to meeting Hu Zongyuan. Even so, I waited for half a day and didn't see the real person until the second half.
Hu Zongyuan is not very old. He looks like a middle-aged man with a kind face and clear eyes. Judging from his appearance, he must be a top-grade Tianzun.
The two exchanged some polite words, and Ye Ming said: "I heard that the dust formation is wonderful, and I would like to buy it. I wonder how much it will cost?"
Hu Zongyuan said with a smile: "This formation is mysterious, it can be big or small, it can be hidden in the palm of your hand, or it can be spread throughout the mountains and rivers. It took me three years to collect thousands of precious materials and refine it. The price is not cheap. There have been some before. Many people asked, but they were all turned away by high prices.":
When he said this, Ye Ming really became interested and said, "Please tell me, Cardinal Hu."
"Three hundred big coins." Hu Zongyuan said.
Ye Ming heard him mention "big money" and knew that this was a commonly used term among giants. A big money refers to the number of "one capital", three hundred big money, and the rest is three hundred white lotus coins.
In fact, banks in all continents issue notes with a face value of one capital. They are usually the size of walnuts, shaped like big coins, and made of special metal engraved with mysterious runes. Because of this, the giants are called big money.
In addition, there are notes with a face value of 100 billion, which are much smaller in size and are called "small money". After all, it costs a few hundred dollars and is inconvenient to carry. This money ticket is a common item for the giants.
Ye Ming really thought it was expensive, but from the sound of the dust formation being very powerful, there was no harm in buying it. So I asked the old man some usage methods, taboos, etc. In the end, he decided to buy it, but said that he would pay with elixirs, and Hu Zongyuan agreed.
After settling down, Ye Ming finally asked: "Does Cardinal Hu have the Divine Essence Black Gold in his hands?"
Hu Zongyuan said: "There are some. It's hard to find these things. I only collected them in recent years."
Ye Ming: "I wonder if Cardinal Hu can sell me some? I need it urgently."
Hu Zongyuan smiled and said: "I have seventy-eight taels of talisman gold in my hand. I can't use it myself. I can sell it to you, but the price must be right."
Ye Ming said: "I don't need too much, thirty taels is enough."
Hu Zongyuan: "One tael is five big coins, thirty taels is one hundred and fifty big coins."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Okay, thank you very much."
In the end, Ye Ming used 420 divine elixirs for 450 large sums of money.
When he left Hu Zongyuan's house, he went directly to the teleportation circle and headed for Hun Tong Continent.
To be on the safe side, after entering the Hutong Continent, he bought a stand-in puppet and appeared in a second image.
Although it is expensive, he has too many treasures to take risks, so it is better to be cautious.
This time, he could not immediately find the alchemy master, Hou Guangdou, because that master Hou was refining alchemy in seclusion and would not be able to see guests for a month.
He had no choice but to wait. Waiting was not an option. Ling Tianxiao and Ao Tianhua both joined the Hun Tong Sect, and Ye Ming called them out.
Ling Tianxiao and Ao Tianhua had done well in the same sect and were now both disciples of the authority, and they were the leaders among the disciples of the authority.
Ye Ming each shared one of their white lotus coins, and then asked about the recent situation. Ling Tianxiao is already in the late stage of divine being, and Ao Tianhua has broken through to the realm of divine monarch, making rapid progress.
Ye Ming was very satisfied and wanted them to practice well. If you can't get used to it one day, just go back to Ye Yuan. After all, Tiandao Sect is also short of people now.
Ling Tianxiao said: "Master, we learned the Hun Tong Dao Sutra and found it quite interesting. We will write it down silently and give it to Master."
Ye Ming has the core skills of all the major forces, and there are not many more than this. He smiled and said: "Okay, I have time to study it."
The two sides did not dare to stay for a long time, so the next day, Ling Ao and his two men went back separately. As for Ye Ming, in the past few days, he simply classified the Fudan that the money tree produced after absorbing the elixir pool.
During this period of time, less than one-tenth of the elixir liquid in the alchemy pool has been consumed, but thousands of divine elixirs have been refined.
Especially recently, the money tree has absorbed the power of a certain elixir for half a month, but it has not been able to bear fruit. He was curious about what kind of elixir could make the money tree so time-consuming.
You know, absorbing the power of the elixir and recombining it is actually very easy for the cash cow. It is still different from using medicinal materials to make elixirs. It may take a month or two to make an elixir using medicinal materials, but reorganizing the broken elixir can be completed in a matter of seconds. However, it has never happened like this for half a month without the Fudan being produced.
Ye Ming saw that the money tree in the space ring finally bloomed a small flower. Then after the little flower, a human-shaped fruit grew, covered with runes.
That doll has a smile on its face, is chubby and cute, has hands, feet, eyes and a mouth, and is full of energy.
In this way, it took another three days before the doll finally took shape. It is only the size of a fist, radiating with treasure and full of spiritual energy.
In the following days, only six such baby fruits were produced. After that, the money tree's alchemy speed increased again, and it didn't take long for it to form a talisman.
Ye Ming studied this doll-shaped elixir and felt that it seemed to have transcended the scope of divine elixirs. It seemed to have spirituality and wisdom like a human being. Although it doesn't speak, it seems to be thinking.
Finally, after waiting for more than twenty days, the elder came out of seclusion. As soon as he came out of seclusion, Ye Ming came to visit him.
This time, he got straight to the point and expressed his intention to buy the Yunluo Talisman Thread. Hou Guangdou was a very mean person. He refused to sell it at first and even mocked Ye Ming for not being able to afford it.
However, when Ye Ming expressed his willingness to pay double the price, the alchemy master relented. In the end, Ye Ming exchanged 500 divine pills for 18,000 taels of Yunluo Talisman Lines.
However, when Master Hou Guangdou saw the divine elixir that Ye Ming took out, the color on his face changed. He seemed to have thought of something but did not say it.
After the two parties delivered the items, Ye Ming was about to say goodbye and leave. At this time, Master Hou Guangdou smiled slightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I think your elixirs are all of the best quality. I have also refined a lot of them. I would like to ask you, an expert, to take a look."
Ye Ming didn't think much, thinking that this master of alchemy was addicted to alchemy, and immediately nodded in agreement. So Hou Guangdou led him to an alchemy room.
After entering the alchemy room, Ye Ming suddenly felt that there was a terrible poison, permeating the air, colorless and odorless. If he had not had a substitute to block it, he would have been poisoned by now.
He deliberately pretended to be in pain, sat down slowly on the ground, glared at Hou Guangdou, and said sternly: "Hou Guangdou, you poisoned me!"
Hou Guangdou's eyes were shining, and he stared at Ye Ming: "Boy, although you are Tianzun, but unfortunately my poison is specifically designed to kill Tianzun, so you have given up on resisting. Now tell me, there are so many rare divine products Where did you get the elixir?"
It turned out that he was seeing Ye Ming's elixirs, all of which were extraordinary. That cash cow is a first-class alchemy master, and Hou Guangdou is far behind. When he saw it, he was naturally envious, admired, and greedy at the same time. He deduced that Ye Ming should still have a large amount of this elixir in his body.
Therefore, he pretended to take Ye Ming into his alchemy room. In fact, this alchemy room is a place where he specializes in harming people. It contains poisonous breath and anyone who enters it will die.
He was just a human being, how could he know that Ye Ming's body was hidden in the substitute and would not be poisoned at all.
Ye Ming sneered: "I won't tell you where my elixir comes from. But you, killing others, aren't you afraid of being known by others?"
"Others won't know, because you will die." Hou Guangdou said, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I will extract your soul and slowly extract the memory. Whatever you know, I will know."
The Hou Guangdou opposite has the cultivation of a low-grade Tianzun, and Ye Ming's stand-in puppet can fight with him. However, he had already obtained something and was not interested in fighting with him here.
So, he suddenly stood up in his true form, dodged, rushed out of the alchemy room, and was gone in an instant. His voice came over: "Hou Guangdou, I will spread this matter all over the country, and no one will come to you to buy elixirs again."
Hou Guangdou was shocked and wanted to go out to chase him, but he knew it was already too late. Wasn't the other party poisoned? Why did he suddenly run away
Ye Ming said he was leaving, but in fact he was not. This Hou Guangdou was so shameless that he actually wanted to trick him. If he didn't go back without taking some money, he would be really sorry for himself.
It turned out that when he entered Hou Guangdou's house, he built a large spirit gathering array underground in the back garden of Hou Guangdou's house. This great spirit gathering formation cost tens of thousands of dollars. It would be impossible to build it without dozens of big bucks. It can gather spirit energy from a radius of 30,000 miles here, which shows its power.
