Xianyuan Farm

Time was running out, Gu Hongyu, Ma Jun and Liu Lei watched Jin Hui leave with a mocking smile.

Ma Jun said anxiously: "After this delay, Gu brother, I'm afraid we really don't have enough time, what should we do?"

Liu Lei wanted to say something, but after looking at Gu Hongyu, he stopped and pulled Ma Jun's clothes: "Don't talk, look at what brother Gu is doing."

At this time, Gu Hongyu squatted in front of the stall selling flying swords. He was holding a doll made of unknown material with one hand. The doll was a creature image that had never been seen in real life, but it was indescribably smart, as if it really existed.

Seeing that Gu Hongyu didn't say anything after looking at it for a long time, Ma Jun said anxiously: "Brother Gu, this is just an item carved out of some material. I don't see anything special about it. Let's hurry up and find something of higher value. Otherwise, not only will we not get the first place, but it will be embarrassing if we really get the last place."

Ma Jun rushed to join Gu Hongyu in a group before, but he was convinced that Gu Hongyu was not simple. However, after a round, Gu Hongyu only took one shot and got a pagoda that could assist in cultivation. Just now, Jin Hui got a top-quality flying sword under their noses. Seeing that time was running out, their hope of winning the bet was very slim.

Liu Lei was also very anxious in his heart, but he was shy and stood quietly behind Gu Hongyu, his big hands constantly stroking the pagoda, as if this thing would leave him soon.

Looking at the watch, it was already 9:45 in the evening, and there were 15 minutes before everyone agreed to gather at the time.

"Fellow Daoist, how did you sell this thing?" The doll gave him a very strange feeling. Although he could not feel the flow of spiritual energy, this doll was definitely not a simple item, because it was engraved with a formation pattern that Gu Hongyu could only perceive with his spiritual power, so Gu Hongyu decided to take it.

The stall owner looked at Gu Hongyu's outfit, his eyes rolled around and his face was full of mercenary smiles: "I can see that my brother is not an ordinary person. Since you come to my stall to buy things, I will definitely give you the best price."

"I exchanged this doll for thirty water arrow talismans and a tendon strengthening pill not long ago. I just traded a flying sword. You can give me the cost price for this item."

The other party was obviously talking nonsense. Gu Hongyu was sure that the stall owner might have picked up this doll from somewhere, and he dared to say that he spent thirty water arrow talismans and tendon strengthening pills to exchange for it. He didn't look like an ancient martial artist with such a rich family.

So after thinking about it, Gu Hongyu took out a bottle of pills from his backpack: "This is a bottle of Essence Pills, there are ten pills in the bottle, if you don't mind, let's exchange it for your doll?"

The stall owner's expression changed several times and he looked at the doll in Gu Hongyu's hand again: "Daoyou, the pill you mentioned is not worth the value of this doll!"

Gu Hongyu said lightly: "First appreciate the quality of the pill and then decide, this doll is really not worth the price, but I like this shape more."

The stall owner saw that he couldn't persuade Gu Hongyu, and if he kept pestering, the deal would fall through, so he revealed He opened the bottle and poured out a pill, looked at its color, smelled the pill, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Finally, he pretended to be willing to give it a try: "Okay, just treat it as making friends with fellow Taoists, and the deal is done!" Gu Hongyu left the stall with the doll without saying anything. The stall owner confirmed the essence pill again, and was intoxicated by the refreshing fragrance of the bottle mouth for a while. He thought that the person who bought the doll was really stupid. He really picked up the doll when he passed by a mountain stream, and he never thought that he would exchange it for a bottle of essence pill. This time, he should be able to improve his skills after practicing. "Brother Gu, what is this treasure?" Ma Jun asked anxiously, looking at Gu Hongyu still playing with the doll in his hand. Gu Hongyu chuckled: "If I'm not wrong, this doll is better than Jin Hui's flying sword."

"Better than Jin Hui's flying sword..." Liu Lei pointed at the doll in disbelief: "Is this inconspicuous guy really more valuable than the flying sword?"

"I think so." Gu Hongyu responded again.

Ma Jun winked and said: "Brother Gu, don't tease us. Can this doll be better than Jin Hui's flying sword? Give us a definite answer. Don't say anything like if I'm not wrong..., should..., etc. to fool us!"

"Don't worry, I'm just trying to figure it out. This doll is not as simple as it looks on the surface. Give me some time and I can find the key point and let this doll show you something special."

Seeing that Gu Hongyu had said so much, the group did not go looking for the next treasure for the next ten minutes. Several people surrounded Gu Hongyu and stared at the doll in his hand.

After a while of exploration, it was found that the material of this doll was neither gold nor iron, as if the material used to make it did not exist on Earth today. The doll did have the pattern of the formation, but it was not on the surface but inlaid ingeniously inside the doll. After the formation was inlaid, the doll was tempered again, so there was no trace of the formation on the outside.

Since he could sense the formation on the doll, Gu Hongyu believed that this doll must not be an ordinary item.

The more he used his mental power to explore the formation patterns on the doll, the more Gu Hongyu felt that this formation was very complicated, far beyond his understanding of the formation.

However, it was not difficult for Gu Hongyu to find the node of the formation.

After he unraveled the mystery, he finally found that all the formation patterns on the doll were concentrated in the abdomen.

At this time, a very tiny hole in the abdomen of the doll caught Gu Hongyu's attention. It was definitely not a coincidence that this small hole, which was as small as a pinhole and was originally ignored by him, existed in the place where the formation patterns were concentrated.

"Ma Jun, Liu Lei, who of you has an embroidery needle? If you don't have one, look for it while moving around. Come on, I have one." Gu Hongyu suddenly said to the other two people next to him.

Ma Jun said happily: "Brother Gu, have you discovered the secret of this doll?"

"Does he have a flying sword?" Liu Lei was still struggling with this question.

Gu Hongyu gave them a positive answer: "This doll is definitely not comparable to a flying sword, not only one flying sword, but even ten flying swords are not comparable. Now you can find something like an embroidery needle, right?"

"Haha, okay, I'll find it now."

"Although I don't know what the embroidery needle is for, I really want to see what changes this doll will have next."

In a few minutes, Ma Jun cleverly and cleverly "borrowed" an embroidery needle from a farmer.

"There's no time left, let's quickly meet up with the others." Gu Hongyu took the doll and the embroidery needle and walked to the agreed place.
