Celestial being

Yuan Ming moved his eyes away from the middle-grade spiritual stone in the bald man's hand and looked at the two black jade plates. He was slightly startled and looked a little confused.

"It seems like this is your first time trading runes, right?" the skinny old man asked tentatively.

"Ahem, I have never been involved in this area before." Yuan Ming coughed slightly and said slightly embarrassed.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. There is always a first time for this person. This is a jade tablet with inscriptions. It is specially used to record the runes. It can record the starting trend of the runes for reference at any time. You only need to gather With a trace of mana on your fingertips, just outline the runes on them." The skinny old man chuckled and gave Yuan Ming an encouraging look, but secretly rejoiced in his heart that Yuan Ming had been officially judged as secretly stealing the family's rare runes. A prodigal son who was taken out and sold.

After all, the existence of every rare rune is a product of heaven and earth. It is in the hands of some ancient sects and cultivation families. It is related to the power of magic weapons, magic weapons and even talismans. It is an inherited thing and no one will take it easily. Those who exchange it for spiritual stones are a rare commodity.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming reached out and took the black jade plate. Following what the old man said, he concentrated his magic power on his fingertips and drew the "Tingfeng" rune on one of the jade plates with inscriptions.

I saw that the jade plate, which originally looked dark and nothing special, lit up a little white light when Yuan Ming's fingertips touched it, and extended with the movement of Yuan Ming's fingers. When his fingers left, the jade plate A seemingly complex rune that glowed white was left behind, and disappeared in a flash, and the jade plate returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened before.

As soon as he finished painting, the old man snatched the jade plate away and poured some magic power into it. A white dot lit up on the jade plate, then outlined a complex rune, and then disappeared in a flash. The entire drawing process, Even the speed was the same as what Yuan Ming had drawn with his fingers before.

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful..." The old man looked intoxicated. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to imitate the situation, as if he was distracted.

Yuan Ming secretly marveled in his heart, and immediately without hesitation, he drew the "Phantom" rune on another jade tablet with talismans in one go and handed it to the old man.

"That's right, that's right! I see you, Huo Lian, are very familiar with each other, but are you a new monk traveling to Black Rock City?" Huo Lian held the two jade plates with talismans in his hands and fondled them for a long time. Then he smiled and said to Yuan Ming.

"This is my first visit to Black Rock City, Yuan Ming." Yuan Ming said.

"The name is not bad, it fits the temperament of a weapon refiner very well. Work hard, and your achievements will be limitless in the future! If you are not in a hurry to make a magic weapon, you can come to me at any time after you have thought about it." One Day of Fire Refining He said in a great mood after achieving two wishes.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I'll take my leave first."

Yuan Ming took six middle-grade spiritual stones from the bald man and was about to stand up to leave. Halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and turned around and said: "Senior Huolian, you have never seen these two runes, have you? ? How to tell whether they are true or false? Aren't you worried that someone will lie to you with a random rune? "

At this moment, Huo Lian's mind was once again immersed in the two black jade slabs in his hands, and he did not hear Yuan Ming's questions at all.

"Don't worry about this. The runes are created by the great road of heaven and earth. People who know enough about the runes can sense the aura in even unfamiliar runes. You can tell whether they are true or false at a glance." The bald man Explained for him.

"I see." Yuan Ming said thoughtfully and left.

…

Gu Yue was half squatting on the street with a piece of grass in her mouth, looking at the passers-by in boredom. When she saw Yuan Ming coming out of the shop, she immediately threw the grass away from her mouth and stood up to greet him.

He didn't ask Yuan Ming what he did in the store, he just instinctively felt that Yuan Ming was in a good mood, and that was enough.

If those in their line of work are satisfied with hiring their own "boss", they will naturally benefit from it. After all, although Yuan Ming seems to be smart, he does things well.

Before Gu Yue could speak, Yuan Ming suddenly asked: "Next, do you want to take me to Zhongyuan's shop?"

"Let's go to the shops in Zhongyuan first. If there's nothing suitable, it's not too late to go to other places." Gu Yue nodded.

"Is there a place where I can buy Central Plains clothing? Take me to see it." Yuan Ming asked again.

When Gu Yue heard this, she was a little confused, but she still took Yuan Ming to a nearby clothing workshop. Yuan Ming asked Gu Yue to wait. After he went in for a while, he came out dressed like a Central Plains person.

"Tsk, tsk, if no one had told me about Brother Yuan's attire, I would have thought you were a young man from a noble family in Jin Dynasty!" Gu Yue clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Let's go." Yuan Ming smiled and didn't explain much.

What Gu Yue said was actually correct. The clothes he was wearing were indeed the ones he remembered wearing when he went out to play in the Jin Dynasty, which was consistent with his true identity.

As for why he did this, he couldn't explain it himself. He might have returned home after a long absence and wanted to express his thoughts here. At the same time, he also considered that it might be more convenient for people from the Central Plains to visit their shops.

The two continued walking and stopped in front of a shop half a quarter of an hour later.

This is a large store with five floors, green tiles and yellow walls, and flying eaves and standing animals. It looks extremely grand. Above the open door of the store hangs a huge gold-lacquered plaque with the words "Changxian Tower" written on it. With big characters, there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out of the store.

"Is this here?" Yuan Ming looked at the large golden plaque.

"Yes, Changxian Tower is the largest Central Plains store in Fang City. It is the property of Changchun Temple, a wealthy family of Dajin cultivators. Many of the goods in it are sent directly from Dajin. Apart from being expensive, there are no shortcomings." Gu Yue Said with a smile.

"Changchun View!" Yuan Ming's heart moved and he looked at the shop in front of him again.

Isn't the "Nine Yuan Jue" he practiced the secret technique that Changchun Temple only provides to elite disciples?

In terms of cultivation effect, it is indeed incomparable to any other technique in Biluodong. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would be quite reluctant to reach the fourth or fifth level, let alone the ninth level of Qi Refining.

In addition to the close relationship between this sect and the royal family of the Jin Dynasty and the fact that they opened their shops to southern Xinjiang, the term "rich family" is well deserved.

"By the way, I heard that Brother Yuan came from it. You must have heard of Changchun Temple, right?" Gu Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"It seems to be a Taoist sect in the Jin Dynasty." Yuan Ming said vaguely.

"Brother Yuan is indeed knowledgeable. The religions of the Central Plains are Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian. Changchun Temple is the orthodox Taoist religion and is good at refining elixirs and talismans. The elixirs and talismans in the Changxian Tower are far from comparable to any sect in southern Xinjiang. Yuan Ming In addition to spiritual materials, if you are interested, you can take a look later," Gu Yue said.

"Okay." Yuan Ming responded, thoughts swirling in his mind.

The elixir was what he wanted. As for the talisman, it was a one-time consumable. Although it was quite convenient to use, a basic low-level talisman also required at least one or two low-level spiritual stones, which was not what he considered originally. thing.

However, today is different from the past. He now possesses more than 600 spirit stones, which naturally gives him a lot more confidence.

The two walked into the Changxian Building one after another, and a rather grand hall came into view. It could accommodate a hundred people without being crowded. The decoration in the store was roughly similar to that of other shops. There were many shelves with a variety of goods on them. .

There were many guests in the hall at this time, and there were voices and bidding everywhere, making it very lively.

Yuan Ming glanced at the shelves. Most of them were spiritual materials. He did not see the elixirs and talismans that Gu Yue mentioned.

"The Changxian Building has five floors, and the items sold on each floor are different. Spiritual materials are sold on the first floor, and elixirs and talismans are sold on the second and third floors. As for the fourth floor, it is said that it is a private room specially designed to receive distinguished guests. It must be Only when you get a special invitation." Gu Yue saw Yuan Ming's doubts and explained, with a look of yearning on her face when she mentioned the fourth floor.

Yuan Ming nodded and walked through the shelves looking for it.

The spiritual materials in Changxian Tower were also placed in categories according to the attributes of the five elements. He quickly came to the place where water attribute spiritual materials were sold. After searching for a long time, he finally saw a half-cup on the top of a shelf not far away. The transparent cyan stone box contained a piece of white cold jade the size of a thumb. It was so cold that even the slightest bit of coldness could be seen through the box.

"Ice Soul Stone! A genuine mid-grade spiritual material!" Yuan Ming's eyes flashed with excitement.

Before Yuan Ming walked over, an attendant in green came over, his eyes fell on Yuan Ming, and he said with a smile: "What spiritual materials do you two guests want? I have a lot of goods in Changxian Tower, which are cheap and high-quality. Absolutely." It will make you two feel right at home.”

"I want to find some spiritual materials, preferably of middle grade or above. If there are good elixirs and talismans, I can also take a look." Yuan Ming said calmly.

Yuan Ming spoke in the Central Plains dialect this time, with a standard and fluent Central Plains Dajin accent, which surprised Gu Yue.

He works as an information dealer in Black Rock City. He can naturally understand and speak a few words in the Central Plains dialect, but he cannot be so fluent.

The most important thing is that when Yuan Ming asked for something, he was obviously much louder than when he first met. You must know that just a medium-grade spiritual material requires dozens of spiritual stones. Putting aside the elixirs, the talisman is not an ordinary refinement. The monks in the Qi period can afford it.

If you really buy all these things, you will get hundreds of spiritual stones, right?

"The distinguished guest turns out to be from the Jin Dynasty. You are so indifferent. Please move to the private room on the fourth floor. I will go and invite the deacon." The attendant in green clothes originally thought that Yuan Ming was dressed in Jin Dynasty clothes and behaved well. When he heard him say He became even more excited, seemed extremely enthusiastic, and replied in Chinese dialect.

Then, he called another female attendant to receive Yuan Ming and the others, and left quickly.

Yuan Ming and Gu Yue followed the female attendant up the stairs next to them and arrived at the fourth floor.

As Gu Yue said, the second and third floors are places where elixirs and talismans are sold. The stairs on the fifth floor are locked by an iron door. After asking the servant in green, he learned that only monks in the foundation building stage can enter there.

There are separate rooms on the fourth floor. The layout of the rooms is very particular. The furniture and refreshments are all meticulous, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

The female attendant arranged for the two of them, served them two cups of light red spiritual tea, and then left.

"Fire Yang Tea? This is a spiritual tea made from the Fiery Yang grass that grows near the crater. Drinking it has the effect of refining the meridians and calming the mind. Today, I got Brother Yuan's credit." Gu Yue picked up the tea cup. , drank it all in one gulp, with a look of intoxication on his face.

Yuan Ming also took a sip and a warm current entered his organs from his throat and then spread throughout his body.

He just felt as if he had taken a hot bath in winter, his whole body was warm and he felt indescribably comfortable. He was also glad that he had changed his clothes, which was a blessing to his soul. He had been treated differently in Biluo Cave because of his identity as a Central Plains person. That feeling of cowardice also melted away.

Here, the identity of the Central Plains people is still good!
