Lonely Immortal

Zhang Zhiwen has actually seen all the spiritual weapons in this shop. He paid attention to them when he came in. Although these spiritual weapons are of various kinds, such as swords, axes, halberds, soft and hard armor, etc., they don't look like anything on the outside. Nothing special, Zhang Zhiwen was also surprised to hear the old man say that this sheepskin map was actually a spiritual weapon.

It has been some time since he got this thing, but he never thought that it was actually a spiritual weapon, because although Zhang Zhiwen did not have a spiritual weapon, he also knew what the spiritual weapon was. That is, as long as spiritual power is injected into it, it will produce some Something with special power, but the sheepskin map does not have such a performance.

The old man didn't notice Zhang Zhiwen's surprised expression. Instead, he just stared at the sheepskin map in his hand, and then said: "If my guess is correct, these things should be a pair, right?"

At this time, the old man looked at Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen had already come to his senses. Naturally, he could not say that he had another sheepskin map. He came to this store just to try and see what was going on with this sheepskin map. Now look at it. Come on, this thing seems not simple, and Zhang Zhiwen will not reveal secrets, so he shook his head: "I only have this one, and I didn't know it was a pair."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's right, no wonder you would take this thing out for me to appraise. If you only have one, then this thing is worthless."

"Oh? What is this thing?" Zhang Zhiwen asked tentatively. After all, he still wanted to know what this thing was.

"Hey, did you pick this up?" There was a malicious look in the old man's eyes, because he noticed Zhang Zhiwen when he came in. Zhang Zhiwen didn't look like a rich man in his attire, but his cultivation level was pretty good. , which is why the old man doesn't dare to offend him. Otherwise, if he were a low-level Qi Refining monk, the old man would have no patience.

Although I felt that the old man had no scheming in the early morning, but there is no scheming anymore. After all, he is also a member of the Li family. It is normal for the other party to be suspicious. However, Zhang Zhiwen said lightly: "Did you pick it up or rob it? Does it have anything to do with what this thing is?”

"Hehe, that's not the case..." The old man also smiled knowingly. As a monk of Zhang Zhiwen's level, he was naturally not easy to offend, and it was too normal to fight and kill outside, so he continued. , "Actually, this thing is quite unorthodox. If I hadn't been engaged in the weapon refining business for many years, I'm afraid most people wouldn't know the origin of this thing."

Zhang Zhiwen simply didn't say anything this time. He just looked at the old man like this. Anyway, if you want to say something, just hurry up and don't hesitate.

The old man smiled again. Zhang Zhiwen was very familiar with that philistine look. Zhang Zhiwen could only say helplessly: "How much does it cost to appraise it?"

"Haha, it's easy to talk about, three low-grade spiritual stones." Seeing Zhang Zhiwen's approach, the old man stopped being secretive.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't say much, and took three low-grade spiritual stones and threw them to the other party. This old man was just a fourth-level Qi Refining monk, so the asking price was not low, but Zhang Zhiwen was not short of the money.

After taking the money, the old man continued: "This thing has several names. The most common one is called the Xuanyin Life-Calling Diagram. The so-called Life-Calling Diagram means that once a person's soul is locked, it will basically never be able to Escape is quite powerful, but it is not without cost. Whether it is the one who takes his life or the one whose life is taken, the soul will be bound by this figure. The imprisonment will not be released until one party dies. "

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he still didn't say anything because he knew this function well. If it was just this function, it wouldn't be that powerful.

"Hey, but this is just the most useless use among them, and it has at least two very useful places, but they need to be activated."

The old man said, subconsciously looking at Zhang Zhiwen again, and seeing that Zhang Zhiwen still had no reaction, he seemed a little disappointed, then shook his head and said, "It's just that, little friend, you only have one map. If there are two, they can be activated. "

Zhang Zhiwen actually didn't want to stay here anymore after hearing this. These two sheepskin maps seemed to have some background. If it was really as powerful as the old man said, then it would be inevitable for him to have this thing on him. He is coveted. He has no good opinion or trust in the four major families, so the shopkeeper of Li's shop must not be trusted either.

If the old man knew too much, it would still be risky, so Zhang Zhiwen didn't want to continue listening, but apart from Li's side, Zhang Zhiwen seemed to have no way to go anywhere for appraisal, which was a bit embarrassing.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and said, "You took three low-grade spiritual stones from me and gave me such a name? Even if I don't have another life chart, you can tell me about the other two Useful?"

The old man chuckled and said, "That's natural. Alas, you don't have to worry about anything. I don't care if you have another life map."

The old man's words surprised Zhang Zhiwen again, but the old man immediately continued: "I have been here for many years, what haven't you seen? Even though this thing, little friend, is quite powerful, it is not very powerful. Because if you want to activate this thing, it is still a bit difficult..."

The old man then said a lot, and Zhang Zhiwen understood it at once. The old man was indeed not lying, because it was not easy to activate this thing. It needed to absorb a lot of blood and qi, and it had to absorb enough in one breath to activate it. Generally speaking, the physical bodies of cultivators were not very strong, and ordinary cultivators could not activate it. Otherwise, the cultivators would be drained of blood and flesh before the map was activated.

But once activated, the power is still very large. It can hide and converge the user's breath. In addition, it can also flash in a small range. This ability is of course a life-saving trick for cultivators, so the old man said that even if he knew it, he didn't care, because this thing is difficult to activate. Even if it is activated, it is just a means of saving life. Who would covet this thing for no reason?

Zhang Zhiwen was relieved, and at the same time he also knew the name of this thing after activation. This name is called the Clutch Scroll. When it is separated into two pieces, it is the Xuanyin Soul-seeking Map, and when it is combined, it is the Clutch Scroll. To combine them together, that is, to activate, it requires a lot of blood and qi.

Zhang Zhiwen thought about it and felt that this thing was still useful to him, but if he sold it, he didn't know how much it could be sold for, so he asked the old man. The old man said that if there was only one copy of this thing, it would not be worth much, only 300 low-grade spirit stones. If it was a clutch scroll, it could be sold for 1,000 low-grade spirit stones.

These 1,000 low-grade spirit stones were the price of a mid-level spirit tool for Qi refining, and it was not considered a very powerful thing here. No wonder the old man didn't care much about it. This was not to deceive Zhang Zhiwen on purpose, because any good spirit tool here would cost thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

So, Zhang Zhiwen naturally had no intention of selling it, so he temporarily returned to his residence.

After returning, Zhang Zhiwen took out two sheepskin maps. To activate it, the price was quite high. Zhang Zhiwen was not very sure. Although he practiced the Changsheng Sutra and was strong and healthy, who knew how much blood and qi this ghost thing actually needed? What if he was accidentally sucked dry by a human, wouldn't it be the end?

But Zhang Zhiwen thought it wouldn't be so cruel. The worst that could happen was that the activation failed. It was impossible for a living person like him to be sucked dry by two sheepskin scrolls, right? That would be too unreasonable. The person who made this thing might have a problem with his brain.

But just in case, Zhang Zhiwen was still very careful. He took two sheepskin maps, and then bit his finger. Blood dripped on the sheepskin map, and the sheepskin map reacted instantly. The two maps stuck together, and then a strong suction came. Zhang Zhiwen felt that all the blood in his body flowed out from the hole in his finger.

Zhang Zhiwen had thought about using other people's blood to activate, but if another cultivator was not full of blood, wouldn't the activation fail? Another thing, he couldn't catch a cultivator for this kind of thing for no reason. Wouldn't that be no different from a murderer?

But the situation seems to be okay now, that is to say, the clutch scroll is not so crazy that it must suck Zhang Zhiwen dry, which is naturally in line with common sense. After all, these are just two sheepskin maps, not so cruel, but if you want to merge the two maps into one, it requires Zhang Zhiwen to use blood and qi to merge, so a lot of blood and qi flowed out from Zhang Zhiwen and merged into the clutch scroll.

Zhang Zhiwen naturally put his mind at ease. At worst, the activation failed and some blood and qi were lost. Then he would find a way to sell this thing. Of course, he would have to disguise himself again at that time, which was more reassuring after all.

As time passed, the two sheepskin maps slowly merged together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the place after the fusion became obviously different. The sheepskin scroll originally became a transparent material, which looked like white jade and was very beautiful. Zhang Zhiwen's blood and qi turned into a trace of blood, wandering in it, weird and mysterious.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was feeling a bit uncomfortable at the moment. His blood and qi were consumed too much. He had already consumed one-fifth of his blood and qi, but the Clutch Scroll had only fused less than one-tenth. Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhiwen would probably be sucked dry before the Clutch Scroll was formed.

It seemed that what the old man said was true. This thing could not be activated by ordinary people. I don’t know what the person who made this thing was thinking. Why was there such a strange confinement? To open this confinement, that is, to activate it, it actually consumed so much. There must be no reason for this, right?

Zhang Zhiwen was muttering in his heart, while preparing to let go at any time, otherwise he would be sucked dry by this thing.
