Mind Cultivation Record

Chapter 1,196 The battle of spirits

In front of the Four Treasures Hall, there were crowds of people.

Since Sibaotang was established in Tiandu City, it has quickly established a foothold in Tiandu City where there are many shops because of its high quality and low price.

Because of this, there are always some merchants whose business has been robbed by Sibaotang. They regard this newly opened Sibaotang as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

However, there are rumors that this Four Treasures Hall is affiliated with Tongbao Pavilion, which is also the branch of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Tiandu City.

Chi Qingxiang, a temptress who was famous for her beauty many years ago, once came to Sibaotang for some reason, but in the end she let it go. Not long after that, Chi Qingxiang disappeared.

After that, Sibaotang remained stable.

Until another Yuanying Ancestor came to the door...

The person who came to Sibaotang today was the youngest weapon refiner in Huangdao Palace - Jiao Yulong!

Huangdao Palace has always been good at refining weapons.

For many casual cultivators, being able to hold a magical flying sword produced by Huangdao Palace is a very honorable blessing.

Even some sect disciples are proud to hold the Huangdao Palace magic weapon.

It stands to reason that even if a new store like Sibaotang is somewhat popular, it will definitely not be able to take away the business of Huangdao Palace.

The cause of the matter was indeed not to grab business...

Back then, Xiao Mian once gave the colorful phoenix blood stone to Mo Suhe and asked him to refine a high-level magic weapon flying sword out of a momentary dispute.

How can it be child's play to refine a high-level magical flying sword?

During the refining process, Mo Suhe encountered some problems, so he contacted Sibaotang according to the contact information Xiao Mian had prepared in advance.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian retreated to heal his wounds, and Guitou recruited Hemerocallis and others to Tiandu City for the purpose of training.

After learning about Mo Suhe's purpose, Guitou knew that the earth attribute flying sword that Mo Suhe was refining must be given to Hemerocallis.

Therefore, under the guidance of Guitou, Hemerocallis followed Mo Suhe to the Huangdao Palace - the high-level magic flying sword was already in shape, but some procedures were still needed.

For example: blood sacrifice!

Feijian's blood sacrifice went very successfully, and Feijian was named - Rock Phoenix Sword!

The Rock Phoenix Sword, a high-level magic weapon flying sword with earth attributes, can be said to be tailor-made for Hemerocallis.

But he didn't want things to go awry. When Hemerocallis left Huangdao Palace after completing the blood sacrifice, he was bumped into by Jiao Yulong, who had been paying close attention to Mo Suhe.

After meeting each other, Jiao Yulong forgot about the business and regarded Hemerocallis as a celestial being...

After that, Jiao Yulong seemed to have completely forgotten about Mo Suhe and Yanhuang Sword, and came to Sibaotang every now and then.

Hemerocallis was interested in Xiao Mian, how could he fall in love with Jiao Yulong?

After going back and forth, Jiao Yulong was born with love and hatred, so he relied on his status as a master craftsman of weapons and the reputation of Huangdao Palace to give Sibaotang a blow.

Of course, Jiao Yulong couldn't explicitly say that he was here to win someone's love.

His banner is an upright and above all skill - weapon refining!

The reason why the Four Treasures Hall is called the Four Treasures Hall is because the Four Treasures Hall specializes in selling four kinds of materials: magic weapons, talismans, array disks and elixirs.

What Jiao Yulong wants to challenge is the weapon refining lineage of Sibaotang.

Jiao Yulong even threatened: If the Four Treasures Hall is inferior to his Huangdao Palace in terms of weapon refining, then the name of the Four Treasures Hall might as well be changed to the Three Treasures Hall...

If this is true, if the wall falls and everyone pushes it down, other businesses will definitely come to bully it. By then, the fate of Sibaotang can be imagined.

Therefore, in today's battle, Sibaotang only needs to win, not lose.

Faced with Jiao Yulong's provocation, Sibaotang had no choice but to take action.

It stands to reason that Ban Hong's attainments in weapon refining are definitely much higher than Jiao Yulong's, but after all, Ban Hong is just a golden elixir monk, with neither divine consciousness nor Nascent Soul.

Even if Ban Hong steps in to deal with it, the odds are stacked against him...

It is precisely because of this that Hu Xiner tried to go to Tongbao Pavilion through Fumanju's teleportation array to find Xie Ying to resolve the dilemma.

Unexpectedly, he met Xiao Mian on the teleportation array.

Under Hu Xiner's embellished explanation, Xiao Mian had already arrived at Sibaotang.

Jiao Yulong stood gracefully in front of the Four Treasures Hall with a jade tree facing the wind. Behind Jiao Yulong was Jiao Ling, who was as powerful as Mo Suhe.

In the Four Treasures Hall, Ban Hong, Hua Yunqing and Qu Shengqing sat side by side. Behind the three elders were Hemerocallis, Xie Lingfeng and Miaoshan.

Rakshasa, Wen Tianxiu and other members of the Jingzhe War Hall did not show up.

As for Zhen Lingzi, there was no sign of him either. It was not known whether Tiandu City's formation investigation was not over yet, or there was something else.

"Hmph! Doesn't Si Bao Tang claim to be proficient in the four ways of refining weapons, making talismans, carving formations, and refining elixirs? Mr. Jiao is not very talented, and he would like to learn how to refine weapons in Si Bao Tang. I wonder which master of Si Bao Tang is willing to Give me some advice?" Jiao Yulong stood in front of the Four Treasures Hall and said, "Is there no one to challenge? It seems that the so-called Four Treasures Hall is just a false name! If not, don't call it the Four Treasures Hall. Just call Simitang!”

As he spoke, Jiao Yulong's eyes scanned Hu Xiner, Xie Lingfeng, Miaoshan and others, and finally fell hard on Hemerocallis.

Jiao Yulong's slightly frivolous words spread. Although Hemerocallis and others were blushing with anger, the onlookers at the entrance of Sibao Hall burst into laughter.

On weekdays, Hemerocallis and others are indeed in charge of the front of Sibao Hall.

Therefore, Jiao Yulong was not the first to jokingly call Simitang.

In another situation, Simitang's title was not only harmless, but also meant to be complimentary, but when it came from Jiao Yulong's mouth, it changed a bit.

At that moment, Ban Hong was about to stand up, but Hu Xiner behind him pressed him down on the chair.

"Mr. Ban! Why do you need to take action against such a low-class yellow-haired boy? Just wait and see! Someone will naturally make him lose face!" Hu Xiner just said this, and Xiao Mian had already appeared in front of the Four Treasures Hall, bowing to Ban Hong: "Mr. Ban!"

Xiao Mian appeared this time, using his true face.

Therefore, everyone in the Four Treasures Hall knew it at first sight.

When she saw Xiao Mian, Xuancao was even more excited, and she clenched her little hands, but she didn't say anything.

Nodding to Xuancao, Xiao Mian turned around.

"Hmph! How do you want to compete?"

"You compete with me?" When Jiao Yulong first saw Xiao Mian, he did not recognize his identity. After all, Xiao Mian went in and out of the Rihuang Dao Palace under the guise of Xiao Nantian. After looking Xiao Mian up and down, Jiao Yulong was full of disdain: "Who do you think you are!"

"What? Don't you dare?"

"You! Hmph! How can I, a great master of refining weapons in the Rihuang Dao Palace, be afraid of a nobody like you? But even if I beat you, what can I do?"

"If you can beat me today, let alone changing the name of the Four Treasures Hall, I can give you the entire Four Treasures Hall!"

"You are just a small golden elixir..."

Jiao Yulong thought Xiao Mian was fooling him, but at this moment, someone in the crowd had already recognized Xiao Mian's true face.

At that moment, Xiao Mian's identity was passed on from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

Although Jiao Yulong was an auxiliary cultivator, he was at least a Yuanying ancestor. In just a moment, he heard everyone's whispers clearly.

Xiao Mian!

Nanyue Xiao Mian!

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Even Jiao Yulong had to take the name Nanyue Xiao Mian seriously.

Besides, Nanyue Xiao Mian and Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce have always been close, and this Sibaotang has some connection with Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. It is not surprising that Xiao Mian jumped out.

Jiao Yulong had no idea that it was Xuancao who prompted Xiao Mian to jump out!

"Why? You came here on a whim, wanting to compete with my Sibaotang in refining equipment. Now that Xiao has accepted the challenge, are you afraid? Xiao has already made a statement: If I lose, Sibaotang will belong to you! What if I win?"

"Win? Can you still beat me?"

Startled by Xiao Mian's words, Jiao Yulong came back to his senses.

If Jiao Yulong and Xiao Mian were to compete on stage, even if he was a Yuanying ancestor, he would not have the courage; but when it comes to competing in the attainments of refining equipment, Jiao Yulong is not ambiguous.

I only heard that Xiao Mian of Nanyue practiced both the Dharma and the body, and that he had some achievements in drawing talismans, but I never heard that he was a weapon refiner!

It is said that Xiao Mian of Nanyue has practiced Taoism for less than a hundred years, and he has achieved what he has today. Practicing both the Dharma and the body may seem impressive, but in fact, it takes twice as much energy and time as a cultivator.

Jiao Yulong doesn't believe that Xiao Mian can also dabble in weapon refinement.

Could it be that he is deliberately deceiving him?

Yes!

I have heard that this kid is treacherous and cunning, so I can't be scared away by him...

"Hmph! Nanyue Xiao Mian! You don't have to lie to me! Since you have come forward for today's matter, I, Jiao Yulong, will give you a face and not embarrass Sibaotang..."

"Don't! Senior Jiao! Master Jiao! Let's do what we should do! Let's compete as we should! Today, neither you, Jiao Yulong, nor I, Xiao Mian, should be a coward!"

"You! Do you really think that I, Jiao Yulong, am afraid of you?"

"Since you are not afraid, then come on!"

"...Okay! I want to see: how much weight you, Nanyue Xiao Mian, have!"

After being repeatedly provoked by Xiao Mian, Jiao Yulong could not avoid the dispute of will after all.

At that moment, everyone witnessed: Xiao Mian and Jiao Yulong competed in public for the attainments of weapon refining. If Xiao Mian lost, Sibaotang would change its owner; if Jiao Yulong lost, he would just have to admit that he was not as good as Xiao Mian.

The way of the competition was also very simple. Xiao Mian and Jiao Yulong used the same spiritual material to refine a flying sword in public. In the end, the two of them collided and the one whose sword was broken lost.

The one chosen by the two was a fifth-level ice attribute spiritual material - Ice Soul Frozen Soul Jade!

Cut a whole piece of Ice Soul Frozen Soul Jade in half, and Xiao Mian and Jiao Yulong each got half.

To refine ice attribute spiritual materials, ordinary spiritual fire is not suitable. The best is a cold flame like the blue ice flame of the scholar.

Sure enough, after getting the half piece of blue ice flame, Jiao Yulong casually waved a blue light and completely wrapped the half piece of Ice Soul Frozen Soul Jade.

Seventh-level cold flame - Azure Cold Crystal Fire!

Xiao Mian narrowed his eyes and remained calm.

From Xie Ying, Xiao Mian once got a ball of Azure Cold Crystal Fire, which was later given to Ban Hong by Xiao Mian.

As long as Xiao Mian is willing, he can use the Azure Cold Crystal Fire at any time.

However, Xiao Mian did not mobilize so many troops. He just held the half piece of Ice Soul Frozen Soul Jade and kneaded it casually like pulling a piece of taffy.

On this side, blue light shot up to the sky in front of Jiao Yulong, and spiritual energy overflowed; on the other side, Xiao Mian was calm and silent in front of him.

As time went by, Jiao Yulong's originally somewhat uneasy mood gradually calmed down...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xiao Mian, who was facing Jiao Yulong, suddenly changed his position and flipped it casually, and a dark hexagonal square stone appeared.

"Xiao Mian! We have a deal: this time, only the half piece of Ice Soul Frozen Soul Jade can be used. If you add other spiritual materials, you will lose!"

"Ha! Master Jiao, don't worry! In front of so many fellow practitioners, Xiao dare not break his promise. I just want you to see: the foundation of my Four Treasures Hall!"

As he spoke, Xiao Mian placed the hexagonal square stone in the sky above his palm.

As his fingertips flew, a gray wooden sword shuttled back and forth...

Jiao Yulong couldn't see why, but Hu Xiner's expression changed when she saw it.

Formation!

Although Xiao Mian's technique is absurd, Hu Xiner, who is good at formations, can clearly see: Xiao Mian, this is clearly engraving formation plates!

It's not over yet!

Suddenly changing direction, three small porcelain bottles appeared in front of Xiao Mian.

A drop of spiritual spring poured out of a porcelain bottle, a spiritual fruit rolled out of a porcelain bottle, a spiritual leaf floated out of a porcelain bottle...

The three blended together and were surrounded by a ball of three-color spiritual fire.

The fire beast Qingjing stood on Xiao Mian's shoulder, opened her small mouth, and spit out three-color spiritual flames.

Changing the direction again, a piece of aqua-blue animal skin was spread out in the void in front of Xiao Mian. On the right side of the animal skin was a shining golden pen, and on the left side was a box of bloody blood.

Xiao Mian picked up the magic pen, dipped it in blood, and then splashed ink on the aqua-blue animal skin...

By this time, even the dullest spectator could see some meaning.

Xiao Mian not only wanted to compete with Jiao Yulong in the art of refining weapons, but he also activated the art of alchemy, carving formations and drawing talismans...
