Beiyin Great Sage

A common practice in small gatherings is to introduce new people to each other, or to gather a few acquaintances to chat, and then to trade the necessary supplies.

Zhou Yi's appearance caused quite a stir.

Array Master!

Moreover, he is also an array master who can deploy second-level formations. Such talents are extremely rare even in a deserted city with many cultivators.

As we all know, the formation of all kinds of cultivation techniques is the best.

Formations are difficult to learn and master, and many Taoist monks can only rely on ready-made formation plates and formation flags to lay out corresponding formations throughout their lives.

There are very few people who can refine the formation independently.

For a force, the formation master is indispensable.

Occupying a spiritual place and setting up a cave for practice can only be regarded as having a foundation. Only by setting up a formation can the foundation be considered stable.

The importance of formation can be seen in general.

In order to prevent the leakage of their own formations, many major forces even keep formation masters in captivity and spend hundreds of years adjusting their formations.

The spiritual materials needed to set up the formation are even more exaggerated. In short, the cost of training a second-level formation mage is far more than that of a Taoist monk of the same level.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, Fairy Zizhen."

Wei Qing, who was fair-faced, beardless and handsome, came closer, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"You and your wife are indeed a talented man and a beautiful woman. Wei is so polite!"

"You two." Song Ming hurriedly introduced:

"This is Mr. Wei Qing from Jiange. He is less than a hundred years old and has reached the late stage of Taoism. He is a young talent who is promising the Golden Elixir."

A hundred-year-old young talent?

This kind of evaluation can only be expressed here.

However, most practitioners call them Taoist friends. If they are women, they can also be called fairies. There are very few people who call them sons, unless the title has any special meaning.

Song Ming explained:

"Uncle Wei Gongzi is the elder of Jiange."

The two of them were stunned.

The elders of Jiange are most likely direct disciples of Grandmaster Jindan. The person in front of him is also considered a disciple of Jindan. No wonder he is called Young Master.

As for my uncle...

The lifespan of a Taoist monk reaches hundreds of years. Generally speaking, most of his parents are no longer alive, and the bloodline of strong men of the same clan is sometimes more important.

"I've met Mr. Wei!"

The three of them had met each other. At this time, the small meeting had officially begun. Someone walked up to the stone platform in the middle and took out something to introduce and sell.

Similar to an auction, but simpler, and there is no auction fee deducted.

certainly.

What you can get depends on luck.

"Everyone, my thunder cloud pattern shield contains thunder meteorite iron inside and electric python skin on the outside. It has two layers of defense. It can be called the best defensive weapon."

"Especially, the resistance to thunder spells is no less than that of some magic weapons. Qi relied on this object to escape death many times from powerful enemies."

"Now I want to change to two foundation-building elixirs, the water-based elixir is the best."

"Why!"

Under the stage, Song Ming shook his head and sighed:

"Fellow Daoist Qi, there is a junior who has perfected his Qi refining. He is suffering from the lack of foundation-building elixir. This time, he even traded the treasure of body protection. It seems that he is very considerate of that junior."

"snort!"

Wei Qing hummed:

"Although this shield is good, it is not truly top-notch. It would be great if it could integrate the inner and outer layers of defense."

"In addition, this treasure is not the natal magical weapon of the surname Qi. It has not been cultivated very much and is mostly damaged. It will take an unknown amount of time to refining it."

As he spoke, he shook his head repeatedly.

Song Ming smiled bitterly.

Defensive magic weapons are rare. In his opinion, the Thunder Cloud Pattern Shield is not bad enough, so exchanging two elixirs is considered a loss-making deal.

I'm afraid only the wealthy Wei Qing doesn't care.

Zhou Yi and Zizhen have only been in Taoji for many years, and they have no experience in communicating with their fellow Taoists. They can be called bumpkins here.

They didn't say anything either, they were just going to learn more.

However, seeing the top-quality magic weapons, spiritual materials, and precious medicines being taken out one after another, it was inevitable that I would be dazzled and my breathing would be a little heavy.

It is indeed a deserted city!

It's just a small foundation building meeting, but there are so many good things. Although the Batu Caves site is large, it is located in a corner. I have never seen anything like this before.

"Fellow Taoists."

A white-haired old Taoist holding a wooden staff took something out of his arms and said:

"The little old man has been practicing the method of stimulating spirits and uprooting for more than two hundred years. He has gained a little bit, and he has realized a spiritual rain technique, which is a low-grade treasure."

"I would like to sell the eight hundred medium-grade spiritual stones, but this technique can only be practiced by two people within a hundred years. The person who buys it must make a vow of inner demons."

"Wow..."

"Buzz..."

There was an instant uproar in the field.

"Mr. Hong is really short of money. He even sells his housekeeping skills." Song Ming sat up straight, saw Zhou Yi and the other two looking puzzled, and said:

"Spirit Rain is a spell commonly used by Ling Zhifu. It can help the elixir mature. However, it is only a low-level spell and not a treasure."

"Hong Lao'er's unique skill is ten times more powerful than the ordinary Spiritual Rain Technique. It is effective for many elixirs. He has been able to live comfortably for so many years thanks to this magic technique."

Zhou Yi understood.

Needless to say, the importance of elixirs to practitioners. Not to mention the second-level treasures, even first-level spells are compulsory.

Ling Zhifu,

You can support your family in a deserted city.

As for the hundred-year agreement, it was obviously to protect his interests before his death.

"I will give you a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones." Wei Qing said in a voice:

"Everyone, how about giving Jiange some face?"

There was silence.

If it was just Wei Qing, there were many people in the field who wouldn't have to worry about it, but since Jiange was involved, he had to think more about it.

"Twelve hundred middle-grade spiritual stones!"

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded:

"Mr. Wei, Jiange's main business is weapon refining, so why don't you try to steal it from me?"

"It's Miss Xuan of the Situ family." Song Ming was a know-it-all. Seeing Zhou Yi and the others looking at him curiously, he immediately whispered:

"Situ Xuan is the daughter of an outsider of the Situ family. It is said that she was not well-received at first, and the elders even planned to marry her off."

"However, this girl is very ambitious, and she actually advanced to Daoji despite the dissatisfaction of her family elders."

"Quite rare!"

"snort!"

Jiange's name can suppress others, but it obviously cannot suppress Situ Xuan. Wei Qing snorted coldly and did not continue to increase the price.

Two hours later, it was getting dark.

Zizhen sacrificed the flying boat, and the two said goodbye and left.

"My master's strength is extraordinary, and there are only a few major forces that can protect me."

in the room.

Zizhen took off her outer shirt and sat cross-legged on the bed with her bare feet and inner lining. She held her cheek with one hand and looked deep in thought. Her crystal clear skin flickered from time to time in the candlelight.

Like jade, like star sand embellishment.

She glanced at Zhou Yi and asked:

"what do you think?"

"Same." Zhou Yi leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair covered with unknown animal skins:

"The methods of cultivation after Daoji are almost controlled by those big forces. If you want to get started, they are inevitable."

"Small forces may also have second-level and above methods, but there is a high probability that they will not be passed on to outsiders like me."

"Wei Qing and Situ Xuan have both looked for us." Zizhen leaned forward:

"Among these two, which one do you prefer?"

"Jiange." Zhou Yi said:

"There is a Grand Master of Golden Pill in the Sword Pavilion. There are many Taoist Perfection monks in the pavilion. Their status is stable. They can give us time to develop slowly."

"The Situ family..."

"The situation is very delicate."

"Really?" Zi Zhen pursed her lips:

"Situ Xuan left a good impression on me."

?

Looking back, Zhou Yi was no longer surprised by Zizhen's exposed skin, and said curiously:

"The Situ family has no golden elixir, and its future is uncertain. Although the centipede insect is dead and not stiff, it may not offend the old monster Black Wind for you."

"Indeed." Zizhen nodded:

"But now that you join the Situ family, it's easy to gain trust and it's not difficult for you to get started with martial arts. Besides, the Situ family won't be afraid of my master."

"The key is……"

"The Situ family is second only to the Law Enforcement Hall in terms of information, and it is the most convenient to find people."

"It's up to you." Zhou Yi said noncommittally:

"I do not mind."

"..." Zizhen frowned, as if seeing his impatience, and said:

"Don't be impatient. Since it's a matter between the two of us, we have to discuss it with each other. We can't make all the decisions alone."

"We...we are called husband and wife after all."

Regardless of whether they are actually married or not, the two will probably have to get along day and night for decades, and their temperaments will need to be adjusted to a certain extent.

Zhou Yi sighed lightly.

That's why he'd rather be alone.

One person can do whatever he wants without worrying about others. It is a burden for two people not to talk to each other, which is a bit inconvenient after all.

"Someone taught me that giving in and compromising are also a kind of practice." Zizhen slowed down his voice:

"Sometimes being too independent may not be a good thing. Let's discuss it, each express our own ideas, and just find a compromise."

"Oh well."

Zhou Yi shrugged and said directly:

"I still belong to Yijiange."

"Well..." Zi Zhen pursed her lips and said a little unhappy:

"That guy named Wei Qing, there's something wrong with the way he looks at me. He has a high status in Jiange. I'm afraid that I'll get into trouble if I join."

"I am your wife anyway. Do you want me to get close to other people?"

"The Situ family is pretty good."

Zhou Yi was speechless and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What did this make him say?

"Then let's go to the Situ family!"

"Would you be unhappy if you chose the Situ family?" Zi Zhen's big eyes flickered and she said shyly:

"Are you unhappy if I try to force you to think so hard?"

…

Zhou Yi discovered for the first time that the serious Zizhen could act like a green tea. He couldn't help but put his forehead on his forehead and smiled bitterly:

"Won't."

"whee……"

Zi Zhen chuckled and slowly calmed down her expression:

"It's not urgent which company you choose. I think you focus too much on practicing spells and are relatively too lazy about your cultivation."

"You have also seen today that the gap between Daoji monks is extremely large. For us, magic weapons and cultivation are the foundation. Practicing magic is relatively thankless."

Daoji monks, if their cultivation level is slightly different, their strength may be completely different.

The same fire control technique, when used in the later stage of Daoji, can burn the sky and boil the sea, but in the early stage of Daoji, it can only make a small pond boil.

If you want to make up for the gap, it's best to rely on foreign objects.

If you can get a magic weapon, it is not impossible to defeat the strong with the weak. The best magic weapon is also acceptable, but the effect of practicing magic is the worst.

Even with the third-level forbidden method, it is usually difficult to kill Daoji monks.

Spending a hundred years practicing a spell is not as cost-effective as spending more than ten years accumulating and buying a top-quality magic weapon.

Moreover, casting a spell consumes an astonishing amount of mana, but using the magic weapon is very easy.

"I'm different from you."

Zhou Yi shook his head:

"You have a top inheritance, but I don't. The level of Immortality Kung Fu is too low and the cultivation progress is too slow. Your strength will not increase much in a short period of time."

"On the contrary, the power of the second-level treasure is quite good, and..."

"I have a good talent in practicing magic. If I can transform the Zhenyuan Demonic Ape to perfection, I won't be afraid of facing the middle stage of Daoji."

He revealed a little bit about his confidence.

Today's Zhenyuan Demonic Ape Transformation has become proficient. It can suddenly explode within ten feet, which is comparable to the middle stage of Daoji. This can kill Changhua.

but.

The shortcomings are also obvious.

Distance is short and time is limited.

However, if it can be cultivated to perfection, the threat range can reach a hundred feet, and the duration can also be increased a lot.

If the limit is broken and the level is improved...

More powerful!

When you are strong enough, you will have the confidence to face the middle and even later stages of Daoji. Wouldn't it be convenient to practice the technique at that time?

This is also his usual approach.

Zizhen was thoughtful, paused and said:

"The Zhenyuan Demonic Ape Transformation was originally a body-refining method, but you seem to have turned it into a treasure secret similar to the Dharma Appearance. There are not many such methods."

"My Ten Thousand Demons Dharma Body may be able to give you something to learn from."

Um?

Zhou Yi's face turned slightly positive.

The Ten Thousand Demon Body is the fundamental skill of Zizhen's cultivation, and its level is naturally far higher than that of the Zhenyuan Demon Ape Transformation. He has been coveting it for a long time.

"It doesn't matter."

Zi Zhen raised his eyes and looked:

"The stronger you are, the better for me."

Naturally, Zhou Yi would not refuse this. The more and better the skills he acquired, the higher the level of the Zhenyuan Demon Ape would be after breaking through the limit.

…………

In the next few days, the two of them not only went to various shops in Huangcheng, but also attended small meetings with several Daoji monks they had just met.

reputation,

However, it is slowly spreading among Daoji monks.

Many people know that there are two foreign Taoist monks, and the man among them is also an array mage, who is preparing to find a force to join him.

However, perhaps it was because the origins of the two of them had not been found out yet, or perhaps because they were afraid of attracting wolves into the house, but they never received an invitation.

"You two want to cancel the lease?"

Feiyun Stack.

The sturdy shopkeeper Sister Qin looked at her coldly, then took out a list and handed it over:

"Here's your bill for this time!"

Zhou Yi stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it and his face darkened:

"Why so many?"

Zizhen's expression also changed.

It was clearly agreed that ten spirit stones would be rented a month on a long-term basis, but the bill now contains not only ten spirit stones, but a full thirty times more!

That is, three hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

This price, even in the deserted city, is enough to buy a second-tier high-grade magic weapon.

The two of them didn't care about a mere three hundred low-grade spiritual stones, but it was really an 'eye-opener' to be bullied so blatantly.

"Both of you."

Chen Liu was here today. He took a step forward and said:

"It's true that the rent is ten spirit stones, but during this period, all you eat and drink is spirit rice and spirit wine. Three hundred spirit stones are not expensive."

"Not bad." Sister Qin said in a low voice:

"If you can afford it, but you can't afford it, do you really think our Feiyun Inn is owned by your family?"

"call……"

She waved her hand, and a huge ax the size of a millstone fell into her palm. The ax was raised high, and a murderous intent rushed towards her face.

Zizhen opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes flashed, and then stopped again.

"Both of you."

At this moment, a crisp voice came from outside:

"Can you help me?"

"Miss Situ."

"Miss Xuan."

Seeing the visitor, Zhou Yi and Zhou Yi saluted with their hands raised.

Sister Qin and Chen Liu, who asked for the spirit stone, turned pale.
