The market in Xialin Town is very lively, and monks from all over the world gather here, from low to high fairy materials. It took them several hours just to look at every stall in the market.
Yi Xichen was attracted to a lot of immortal materials, but he bought almost nothing. After all, buying a new sword for the eldest grandson Zijun is more urgent than buying him immortal materials. And since they want to buy it, they must buy a good sword. The danger of the void is no trivial matter. If they buy another piece of broken copper and iron that can easily be broken, it is impossible for them to see the void suzerain.
The two of them were not in a hurry when they couldn't buy their favorite sword. They still have a few days left. Anyway, people come and go in this market, and the people who set up the stalls are different every day. There is still time to see.
Yi Xichen gave the spirit stone to the eldest grandson Zijun and asked him to go shopping again. He took a place by himself and took out the unnecessary immortal material and the beast egg in his hand and sold it.
Spirit beast eggs are rare, and many people come to ask them after a while. However, because they don't know what spirit beast eggs are, and the price is not cheap, there are still many people who ask, and few people who are interested in buying them.
After a cup of tea, a swordsman walked to Yi Xichen's stall.
That Jianxiu asked, "What kind of egg is this?"
Yi Xichen looked at him, and You Qi took a few more glances at the sword on his waist. It's not a superb sword, but it's barely a good sword. He hurriedly said: "The egg of a natural spirit beast! Daoist friend raise a spirit pet, right?"
That Jianxiu said, "I know it's a spirit beast, but what kind of spirit beast is it?"
"Which kind of spirit beast does the Taoist priest like?"
"..." Jianxiu looked at him suspiciously, "Do you have any one I like?"
"Maybe?"
Of course Yi Xichen was talking nonsense with his eyes open. This egg was picked up by him inexplicably. Spirit beasts were so rare, where would he go to pick up the second one. But even if you can't make a deal right away, it's a good idea to research your client's needs.
"If there is, I would like to raise a rainbow crane, so that I can ride on it and ride the clouds and mists, chic!"
The monks kept pets, except for those purely out of liking, mostly because the spiritual pets were useful. Some pets can help their masters find spiritual stones, some can help their masters kill enemies, some can enhance their master's five-element cultivation, and some are directly a symbol of identity.
Yi Xichen touched his chin and said, "This egg of mine may be hatched with a rainbow crane."
Jianxiu: "..."
With a face of "Who are you lying to?", Jian Xiu said, "Although I have never raised a rainbow crane, the eggs of the rainbow crane are as smooth and flawless as white jade. How could there be a rainbow crane in your gray egg!"
Yi Xichen said: "I found this egg in the soil, maybe it's been buried in the soil for a long time, and it was stained, so it looks a little gray. If you think it's not a rainbow crane, then you Tell me, what would it be?"
Jian Xiu was speechless for a while. Can this spirit beast egg be as coloured as jade? ? Is there such a thing in the world? ? But what is it, that's really hard to say...
Yi Xichen struck while the iron was hot: "If this is a flawless rainbow crane egg, it's worth a fortune. You may not be able to afford it, fellow Daoist, can you? Although this one has some flaws, the fur may be a little gray after hatching, but the price is cheap. !"
This is true. Since spirit beasts are rare and rare, the price is naturally high. Although this sword cultivator is greedy, he really cannot afford the rainbow crane. However, after struggling for a long time, he still shook his head and left.
Yi Xichen set up a stall for a day, and the immortal material took some shots, but in the end, he failed to sell the beast egg. There are many people who are interested, but not many people who are really willing to buy it. After all, the value of natural spirit beasts is placed there. Those who can afford it would rather buy a good one, and those who can't afford it can only watch the fun.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, went shopping for a day. He didn't buy a sword, but only a piece of heart protection armor. He inquired about the realm of nothingness. He heard that there are thunderstorms there all the year round, and the heart protection armor has a negative effect on the thunder attribute. Resistant, so he specially bought it for Yi Xichen.
Yi Xichen looked at the things he bought, but his face collapsed: "How do you buy this kind of thing! How many spirit stones did you spend?"
"Five high-level spirit stones."
"Five high-level spirit stones!! Have you bargained?"
"..." Bargaining is not in line with the eldest grandson Zijun's character at all. If it weren't for the lack of money around him, he would have "don't need this and this, and everything else will be packaged for me".
Yi Xichen covered his chest in pain. I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. The eldest grandson, Zijun, threw out five high-grade spirit stones as soon as he made a move!
"I heard that there is a thunderstorm in the sea of nothingness..."
"Don't you get struck by lightning! You won't die if you strike twice! You can also change your hairstyle by the way!"
The eldest grandson Zijun: "..."
They are not wood-type spiritual roots, and they have cultivation bases, and they will not be killed by ordinary thunder and fire. The eldest grandson, Jun, has a profound cultivation base, and those thunders are nothing to fear for him. But Yi Xichen, with his current cultivation level, if he is forced to carry it over, he is likely to be hurt, and all kinds of pain are unavoidable. If they have enough spiritual stones, Yi Xichen will naturally buy a full set of armor, but they are poor, and the money can only be used on the blade.
The eldest grandson, Jun, bought everything, but Yi Xichen had to accept it. He tapped the eldest grandson Zijun on the head lightly and scolded, "Idiot!" After scolding, he laughed himself, but he wasn't really angry.
The two returned to their residence to rest. The eldest grandson Zijun began to meditate and recite the Heart Clearing Mantra, and Yi Xichen began to calculate how the remaining spiritual stones should be spent. It was already calculated yesterday, but today the eldest grandson Zijun spent five high-end gems. Lingshi disrupted his plan, and he had to redo it.
After calculating their poor property, Yi Xichen carefully put the spirit beast eggs into the Qiankun bag - it seems that this is their only hope to get rid of poverty and become rich.
So the next morning, the two got up and prepared to go out to set up a stall.
Yi Xichen packed up his things, but after undoing the Qiankun bag, he glared at him and shouted, "Where's my egg!!!"
The eldest grandson Zijun was getting dressed when he heard the sound and came over while tying his belt. The immortal materials in the Qiankun bag are still there, but the egg has disappeared.
Yi Xichen was in a hurry to rummage through the box, but the egg was gone, and the eldest grandson, not only was not in a hurry, but also gloated at the misfortune: "If you lose it, just lose it, you don't have to look for it."
"How can that be done!" Yi Xichen glared at him, "Just say you're a loser! That's not an ordinary egg! It's a spirit stone! It's your sword! It's my magic weapon! Hurry up and find it with me!"
The eldest grandson Jun had no choice but to rummage around the house with him.
However, the two of them searched for a long time and couldn't find it, but when they heard a grunt, the spirit beast egg rolled out from under the bed.
Yi Xichen was startled, rushed over and hugged the egg in his arms, so excited as if he had laid the egg himself, Bo Bo kissed twice: "Baby!"
The eldest grandson, Jun, stood aside with a dark face.
That spirit beast egg probably fell asleep yesterday, so there was no movement, but woke up today, rolling around in Yi Xichen's arms, acting like a spoiled child. Yi Xichen didn't have the time to mess with it, so he carefully stuffed it into the bag and went out.
After the stall opened, it was more lively than yesterday. After all, it was just a dead egg yesterday, but today it is full of vitality, rolling around on the stall, leaning on Yi Xichen, Yi Xichen pushed it back to the middle of the stall again and again, offering a sense of Interested monks to see.
It's a pity that the situation is still the same as yesterday. There are many people watching, but not many people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
A Jianxiu stood in front of the stall, Yi Xichen looked up and saw that he was the same guy who hesitated for a long time yesterday. It seems that he is really interested in this spirit beast, but after all, he is not a man who spends a lot of money, so he has to think a lot before buying such a treasure.
"How did you think about it yesterday, fellow Daoist? But have you decided to buy it?"
There was a struggling expression on Jianxiu's face: "This... is it really possible that it is the Rainbow Crane?"
Yi Xichen said: "It must be a bird's egg, but whether it is a rainbow crane, I can't guarantee it. If the Taoist priest just wants to ride the bird to the clouds, I think it should be able to do it."
"This... how are you going to sell it? I don't have a lot of spirit stones..."
"If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can exchange something for it!"
"what do you need?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "Do you have Qilin Blood, Dingfengzhu, Mysterious Tortoise Shell, Pan Dragon Scales, Thunder Fruit?"
That Jianxiu sucked in a breath of cold air. All five things are treasures of heaven and earth, and they are extremely difficult to obtain. If it is really a rainbow crane egg, it would be fair to replace two or three of them. The problem is that some things can't be exchanged for fairness. The treasures of heaven and earth are inherently expensive, and there are many spiritual stones that may not be bought.
Yi Xichen and the eldest grandson Zijun saw his face and knew that he didn't. In fact, the eldest grandson Zijun never expected these things to be so easy to get. The reason why he proposed it was just luck.
Probably because he understood that he was going to be sold, the spirit beast egg suddenly slammed into Yi Xichen's calf with anger, and hit it several times. Yi Xichen patted it quickly: "Don't make trouble, I'm finding you a good master who loves you."
It doesn't matter if you don't shoot it, just a click, and the eggshell suddenly cracked.
The crowd was stunned.
The cracked egg shell fell off, revealing a small gap, and a paw stuck out from the gap. Yi Xichen immediately jumped up and stuffed his claws back. God damn it, when will it not be broken, but it will be broken at this time, so that people can see the unassuming appearance of the guy inside, and the price will be greatly discounted!
However, how can the fat chirp be so peaceful, Yi Xichen blocked a gap, and with a click, there was another gap in the eggshell, and the dingy round bird head drilled out of the eggshell.
Yi Xichen glared. This was the first time he had seen this spirit beast. He had hoped that the eldest grandson had made a mistake. Perhaps it contained spirit birds such as the Tianhong Crane General Eagle. The bird's head made him feel half cold.
Whoa!
The eggshell was finally completely shattered, and a chubby, furry bird and beast stood in the broken eggshell, with two dark eyes piercing, raised his head and opened his mouth: "Hey!"
Yi Xichen's mouth twitched. Look at this appearance, listen to this cry, the name Fat Haw is so apt! If he were to be named, it would definitely be like this!
That Jianxiu stared blankly at Fat Haw: "This... this... isn't this the Rainbow Crane?"
Yi Xichen laughed dryly: "At least it's a spirit bird, right? It must also fly!" Then he grabbed Fatty's two fleshy wings and fanned, "Does the Taoist want it?"
Fat Haw glared at Yi Xichen angrily, and turned his head to peck him, but his wings were snatched by him, and his neck was not long enough to peck him. It chirped angrily: bastard, how dare you sell me! !
Fortunately for Yi Xichen, that Jianxiu was not frightened away by Fatty's unpretentious appearance. It seems that although he likes the rainbow crane the most, as long as it is a bird's spirit beast, he is also interested.
Jian Xiu said: "This... how are you going to sell this? Such a small gray bird, it's impossible to change the treasures of heaven and earth!"
Fatty was despised, and immediately turned his head to stare at the sword repairer with murderous eyes. It's a pity that its fierce appearance is very cute in Jianxiu's eyes, so he couldn't help but squat down and touch its head.
"Ha!" Fat Haw pecked back the dishonest hand.
"Don't be so fierce, Fat Haw." Yi Xichen flicked Fat Haw's ass, raised his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have fifty high-grade spiritual stones?"
Jian Xiu was stunned for a moment. Although this gray bird is not very good-looking, as a natural spirit beast, fifty high-level spirit stones are already an extremely cheap price. He hurriedly said, "Yes."
"Fifty high-grade spirit stones, plus your saber." Yi Xichen said, "How about it, isn't this price more cost-effective?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, that Jianxiu immediately showed a look of resistance, and said without thinking, "No way!"
"What is there to be dissatisfied with, fellow Daoist, at such a cheap price?"
"It's really not expensive. But if you want immortal materials or spirit stones, it's okay to discuss it. It's absolutely impossible to ask for my sword!"
Yi Xichen wondered: "The Dao Chang's sword is indeed a good sword, but it's not a precious sword, is it? You can change my spirit beast and fight another one?"
In the market, the swords that will be directly sold at the stalls are often not good swords. And sword cultivators who have a certain level of cultivation usually buy their own black iron cast swords, and in the casting process, they can add spiritual stone enhancement attributes and so on according to their own habits. However, it takes at least two or three months to build a sword. Yi Xichen and the eldest grandson Zijun are worried that they will miss the time to go to the realm of nothingness, so they ask for a ready-made one, or buy the materials directly to cast the sword. Actually more convenient.
"I have used this sword for ten years, and it has long since become one with me. Even if you give me ten rainbow cranes, I will never change it!"
Jianxiu pays attention to the unity of man and sword, and will pour his own spiritual power into the sword. Over time, the sword has become mature, and it is like a part of the body. However, this spiritual power can also be recovered, and it can be removed by itself, otherwise all sword cultivators will not be able to change swords for a lifetime. It's just that since Jianxiu said that, it's definitely not the spiritual power he poured into the sword, but the relationship between him and the sword.
Yi Xichen was a little depressed. It's easy to see a good sword, and people are also interested in Fatty, but they can't replace it.
That Jianxiu looked at Yi Xichen and then at the eldest grandson Zijun, and found that the eldest grandson Zijun was a swordsman but did not wear a sword, and immediately understood. He said: "You sold this spirit beast because you wanted to get a good sword? But sword cultivators cherish their swords, who can easily exchange them!"
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen are both sword cultivators, so they naturally understand, but they really have no better way.
But I heard that Jianxiu continued: "Have you seen the reward list? It just so happened that Master Youyun took out his sword and offered a reward. If you are skilled enough, you can reveal his reward. His one is a once-in-a-lifetime reward. What a good sword!" He paused and said regretfully, "But with the cultivation of the two of you, it is really..."
The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen looked at each other, and quickly rolled up the stall and prepared to go to the reward list.
"Hey!" said Jianxiu anxiously, "Is the spirit beast still for sale?"
"Sell!" "Don't sell!" The eldest grandson Zijun and Yi Xichen spoke almost at the same time. The two looked at each other in surprise.
Said that it was the eldest grandson Zijun who sold it. As long as he could sell the fat, he didn't care if he didn't want money. It was Yi Xichen who said not to sell. If you are in a hurry to sell it now, you will not be able to sell it at a good price. It is better to see what the reward is first, and then take a long-term plan.
Fat Haw flapped its wings and followed behind the two of them. Although it looked round and clunky, its movements were unexpectedly agile. Hearing that the two had plans to sell it, Fat Haw lowered his head and rushed directly into the Qiankun bag on Yi Xichen's waist.
Yi Xichen said in surprise: "This fat chi... looks unusual!"
The mouth of this Qiankun bag is tied, and it naturally has mana, but Fatty can go in and out as if nothing, it can be seen that it has some ability. When it was still in the egg, it had already done such a thing, but Yi Xichen didn't realize that it was going in and out on its own, and thought it was because he didn't tie the bag properly.
As a result, Yi Xichen is even more determined not to sell it cheaply, and must be patient and sell it for a good price!
Yi Xichen has always had the final say in this business. Although the eldest grandson Zijun doesn't like Fat Haw, he doesn't have to fight with him. Besides, they are in a hurry to see what the mystery of the reward list is at the moment. Put this one aside.
The reward list is in the center of Xialin Town. After a while, Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun arrived there. They saw people coming and going, which was much busier than the market. People kept taking down the posts on the bounty list, and people kept posting their own posts on the list.
The so-called bounty list is something that almost every cultivation town has. The monks listed their needs on the list, some were asking for some specific immortal materials, some were asking for some cultivation methods, some were asking for Taoist companions, and some were asking for revenge for themselves. In short, all kinds of needs can be listed on the reward list, and the conditions for the reward are given, so that interested monks can reveal the list by themselves. To put it bluntly, this is also a transaction, but the transaction may not necessarily be in kind.
Yi Xichen and the eldest grandson Zijun squeezed into the crowd anxiously, worried that the post that Jianxiu said had been revealed. However, when they got to the huge list, they found that the post of the real person Youyun was the first one.
The eldest grandson Zijun didn't even see what was written on it, so he reached out and took it off.
"Hey, wait a minute, fellow Daoist!" A cultivator grabbed the hand of the eldest grandson, "I can't take this post!"
Every bounty list has a special person watching to maintain order. The person who posted the post should give some rewards to the monks who read the list. The one who stopped them was the monk who looked after this list.
The eldest grandson Jun frowned.
Yi Xichen said: "Why not? Is it possible that the posts on this list are just for people to see in vain?"
"That's not true." The cultivator said, "It's just that this post of Master Youyun has been up for three years, and no one has completed it. At the beginning, people frequently announced the list, but they could not complete the task, and they had to re-post it. It took a long time. Now, there are new rules, this post does not need to be revealed, come to me to open the post after it is finished, and Master Youyun will also offer a reward."
Yi Xichen and eldest grandson Zijun looked at each other.
Expose the post, of course, because I am worried that I will encounter a competitor and do the same task and cause disputes. According to the rules of the general bounty list, if you expose the post but fail to complete the task, you will be punished. The number of times is too many, and it will become a black celebrity on the bounty list. From now on, it will not be possible to expose or hang a post. So most of the time people will only open the posts that they are sure of. It's just that if the reward is particularly attractive, there will inevitably be people willing to take the risk.
Since it is a treasured sword, there must be a lot of people vying for it. However, in exchange for a sword, the task is naturally extremely difficult, so the frequent occurrence of mistakes in revealing the list led to the change of the rules.
Yi Xichen and the eldest grandson Zijun finally calmed down and read the post.
The reward offered by Immortal Youyun is very simple, with only one sentence: If you kill Cangming Cave Lord and take his demon pill, Pindao would like to give him the Cangyun Treasure Sword!
After reading it, Yi Xichen touched his chin and fell into thought.
The name of this Master Youyun, he has heard before, is a famous sword cultivator in the cultivation world, and he has no sect and is a loose cultivator.
Loose cultivators, unless they are extremely talented, often have low cultivation bases. And this Master Youyun is the very talented person that day. Like Lu Ziyao, he has the body of the Three Yangs. And the reason why he is famous in the comprehension world is that in addition to his cultivation, he also has a notorious reputation - he is too informal and often associates with demon cultivators.
Cultivation people, especially sword cultivators, have always been incompatible with demon cultivators. Although they are not so incompatible with demon cultivators, they are also distinct and do not communicate with each other. Because there are many demon cultivators who cultivate by absorbing the cultivation of others, although not every demon cultivator is like this, it does not prevent demon cultivators from being regarded as lowly by decent people. Even if many sword cultivators are on good terms with demon cultivators, they dare not tell others, for fear of damaging their reputation. And the real person Youyun has never had such concerns.
But that may have happened in the past, and now he took out his sword and offered a reward, and the Cangming Cave Master who was going to be executed was a demon cultivator whose body was Xuehu!
Yi Xichen said: "This Master Youyun has a very good cultivation level, but he offers a reward with a sword. It can be seen that the Snow Tiger Spirit's cultivation level is still above it, and it seems that it is not so easy to deal with."
The eldest grandson Zijun said thoughtfully, "Snow Tiger Spirit... I seem to have ridden it before."
Yi Xichen: "..."
