Seeking Immortality

Junior brother, I have heard about the market among cultivators for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to do so. Brother, can you take me to see it together? Xu Qingfan suddenly asked Zhao Qingxuan with a smile.

Zhao Qingxuan was slightly startled when he heard Xu Qingfan's words, and then said with a smile: "Junior Brother Xu, do you want to go to Fangshi with me? Of course there is no problem, there are no restrictions on going to Fangshi anyway."

"Then thank you Senior Brother Zhao." Xu Qingfan said with a smile and cupped his hands.

Zhao Qingxuan waved his hand and said, "No thanks. Anyway, I think it's a bit boring to go alone."

As he said that, Zhao Qingxuan suddenly noticed Ting'er who had been standing quietly next to Xu Qingfan. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xiao Bi in Ting'er's arms, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Blue-eyed cloud kicking beast." !”

Hearing that Zhao Qingxuan actually recognized Xiaobi's identity, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled, because monsters like the Blue-Eyed Cloud Kicking Beast rarely appear in the world of immortality. In the vast land of China, they are only occasionally heard of appearing in the Southern Wilderness, so Very few monks understand it, let alone recognize it on sight. So Xu Qingfan said with some admiration: "Senior Brother Zhao is so knowledgeable that he can recognize such a lonely monster."

Hearing Xu Qingfan's words, Zhao Qingxuan's cheeks softened and he said: "I don't have any knowledge, it's just that I have seen the portrait of this kind of monster before."

Hearing what Zhao Qingxuan said, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled and asked: "Senior Brother Zhao, where have you seen the portrait of this blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast?"

Zhao Qingxuan smiled bitterly and said: "Before I was responsible for managing the sect's procurement affairs, I was responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall inside the sect, where portraits of the ancestors of our sect were hung. One of the ancestors' walking spirit beast was a blue-eyed cloud. Kicking Beast, and the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast appears in the portrait together with the Patriarch.”

As he spoke, Zhao Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness on his face. Which cultivator doesn't yearn for peace of mind in practicing? However, he was underestimated by the elders in the sect because of his limited qualifications. In Jiuhua Sect, he was either responsible for cleaning or purchasing, and he was busy with mundane matters all day long. In this way, how can there be any time to practice?

Sensing the bitterness on Zhao Qingxuan's face, Xu Qingfan understood what he was thinking in a flash. If Xu Qingfan hadn't been protected by Lu Huayan before, he would have been arranged to do many mundane things by Jiuhua Sect now. But he was helpless about what happened to Zhao Qingxuan. I could only change the subject and ask: "Oh? Which ancestor also has a blue-eyed cloud kicking beast?"

"It's Patriarch Li Xuhan, but he passed away five hundred years ago." After Xu Qingfan changed the subject, Zhao Qingxuan's face became slightly better, and he raised his hand to Xu Qingfan and said: "Congratulations, junior brother, you found Such a good walking spirit beast really makes us fellow apprentices envious."

Hearing Zhao Qingxuan's words, Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly. He had a mother-killing hatred for Xiaobi, so it was strange that it would let him ride on it. What's more, Xu Qingfan doesn't intend to use spiritual grass to raise it, but to keep it as it is now. How can Xu Qingfan train it into a walking spirit beast? It's just that it's not easy for Xu Qingfan to tell Zhao Qingxuan clearly about these things. He just smiled bitterly and said: "To make Senior Brother Zhao laugh, this blue-eyed Cloud Kicking Beast does not belong to me, but to my niece Ting'er.

How can I use it as my traveling spirit beast? "

When speaking, Xu Qingfan's eyes showed a hint of thinking. In what Zhao Qingxuan just said, Xu Qingfan felt like he had heard the name "Li Xuhan" somewhere before. It was a long time before Xu Qingfan recalled that his senior brother Yue Qingru had mentioned this name to him when he was starting out.

Eight hundred years ago, there were four masters of the "Xu" generation in the Jiuhua Sect, but one of them, Zhang Xusheng, was discovered by his fellow sect members for studying sorcery and betrayed the Jiuhua Sect. When the other three "virtual" seniors were chasing him, Zhang Xusheng killed two of them. The only senior who survived and injured Zhang Xusheng was named Li Xuhan. And since Li Xuhan passed away five hundred years ago. There are no more Mahayana masters in Jiuhua Sect, which also marks the beginning of Jiuhua Sect's loneliness.

On the other hand, Zhao Qingxuan couldn't help being slightly startled after hearing Xu Qingfan's words. He didn't expect that Xu Qingfan would give a rare monster like the Blue-Eyed Cloud Kicking Beast to his niece. He couldn't help but look at Ting'er beside Xu Qingfan. Of course, Zhao Qingxuan's mere veil of Bigu Stage cultivation could not block his eyes, so he could clearly see Ting'er's face covered with purple-green flame totems through the veil, and he couldn't help but be surprised again. But considering that Xu Qingfan was born in Southern Barren, his niece must also be from Southern Barren, and the pattern on her face may be characteristic of Southern Barren people. It suddenly dawned on me. Just looking at the cold expression on Ting'er's face, it didn't look like what a little girl of this age should have. Zhao Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Seeing that Zhao Qingxuan has been staring at Ting'er non-stop. Ting'er didn't express anything, but Xu Qingfan couldn't help but frown. And Xiaobi, who was in Ting'er's arms, screamed fiercely at Zhao Qingxuan.

After realizing his gaffe, Zhao Qingxuan smiled awkwardly, and then said to Xu Qingfan: "Junior Brother Xu, it's already late, how about we go to Fangshi now?"

Xu Qingfan nodded slightly and said calmly: "Everything is decided by Senior Brother Zhao."

So the three of them began to walk out of the city. After leaving the town, under the leadership of Zhao Qingxuan, they quickly flew towards a high mountain not far from the city.

Zhao Qingxuan flew in front on a disc, while Xu Qingfan commanded the "Three Zhang Qing Ling" and led Ting'er to follow him leisurely. Originally, flying magic weapons were very precious, and with Zhao Qingxuan's talent and cultivation level, he should not have them anyway. But because Zhao Qingxuan has always been responsible for purchasing things in Jiuhua Sect, Jiuhua Sect also made an exception and gave him a flying magic weapon to facilitate his work outside.

The flying speed of the magic weapons used by the two of them was very fast.

When I came to this high mountain, I saw that although the mountain was not majestic and steep, it was beautiful and graceful. People were coming and going on the mountain and the voices were noisy. There is a particularly dense crowd at a Taoist temple on the mountainside, which is obviously a tourist attraction in the world.

Seeing such a scene. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but glanced at Zhao Qingxuan in confusion. In Xu Qingfan's mind, the market for cultivating immortals should be located in a place where there would be no disturbance from mortals, with a maze around it. However, there were many mortals in the place in front of him, and there were no arrangements. There were signs of the maze, but he didn't know what Zhao Qingxuan was doing by bringing him here.

Seeing Xu Qingfan's confused eyes, Zhao Qingxuan didn't explain much, just smiled mysteriously, and then led Xu Qingfan to a relatively remote place on the mountainside. Then we walked first towards the Taoist temple, which is the most crowded place in the mountain.

"Senior Brother Zhao, what are we doing here?" Xu Qingfan finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked.

"This is the Difang City of Xiuxianjian." Zhao Qingxuan explained with a smile.

Looking at the mortals everywhere, Xu Qingfan was even more confused, but he did not ask any more questions, but quietly followed Zhao Qingxuan towards the Taoist temple, because Xu Qingfan knew that looking at Zhao Qingxuan's current appearance, even if he asked him, he would not Will tell.

When the two of them approached the Taoist temple, a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest suddenly appeared in front of them. He bowed and asked softly: "Are the two seniors here to exchange items?"

Hearing the Taoist priest's words, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled, and then carefully looked at the Taoist priest in front of him. But he discovered that the Taoist priest in front of him was also a cultivator, but his skills were low and he had barely reached the early stage of Qi refining.

"Exactly, you lead the way." Zhao Qingxuan smiled and nodded.

After hearing Zhao Qingxuan's words, the Taoist priest said softly: "Two seniors, please come with me."

With that said, the Taoist priest bowed to Xu Qingfan and others again. Then he turned around and walked forward.

Under the leadership of this Taoist priest, Xu Qingfan and Zhao Qingxuan entered the Taoist temple from a side door, passed through the dense crowd of people who were coming to the front hall of the Taoist temple to offer incense and worship, and walked directly to the inner hall of the Taoist temple.

After Xu Qingfan walked into the inner hall of the Taoist temple, he found that the scene in front of him suddenly changed. Compared with the noise in the outer hall of the Taoist temple, this inner hall was not only several times larger, but also much cleaner. There were nearly a hundred cultivators with different cultivation levels. Sit cross-legged on the ground quietly, close your eyes and relax. And all of them had several items or elixirs in front of them. Or magic weapon. Or a charm. It's just that these people didn't hawk to attract customers like in the mortal world, but sat quietly on the ground. It looks like the transaction is voluntary.

In addition to these monks sitting cross-legged on the ground selling things, there are hundreds of other monks walking slowly among the stalls. Occasionally, when they find something they are interested in, they will ask the seller in a low voice the price, whether to buy or not to sell. , there is rarely a bargaining situation. Once those sellers have sold out their items, they will leave silently and will not stay for a moment.

"Junior Brother Xu, this is the market in the world of immortality." Zhao Qingxuan whispered to Xu Qingfan.

"Hiding yourself in the city is really clever." Xu Qingfan looked at the quiet city in front of him and said with a faint smile.

"Yes, there are always a lot of good things in the market, but it is often difficult to make a business, because bartering is popular here, and it often happens that the seller has something the buyer wants, and Situations where the buyer doesn't have what the seller needs happen rarely," Zhao Qingxuan explained in a low voice.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, for your advice." Xu Qingfan nodded to express his understanding. Although in the world of immortality, whether it is refining elixirs, refining weapons or cultivating immortals, more or less various spiritual stones are needed, there are many spiritual stones in the world of immortality, but various rare materials But it's often hard to come across. Those sellers often do not lack spiritual stones.

"I'm going to look here to see if there are any elixirs my sect needs in exchange for them. Junior brother, do you want to go search with me or do you want to wander around here alone?" Zhao Qingxuan asked.

"I don't know much about elixirs. I'm afraid I can't help you, Senior Brother Zhao. I'd better go shopping alone." Xu Qingfan said.

"Okay, I'll look for some elixirs to buy in exchange. Junior brother, you can do it yourself. But you have to be careful when you go shopping. Many monks here have quite weird tempers." Zhao Qingxuan said worriedly before leaving.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao, I will pay attention." Xu Qingfan said with his hands in hand.

With that said, Xu Qingfan and Zhao Qingxuan walked separately towards Fangshi in one direction.

After a cursory browse of several stalls, Xu Qingfan found that what Zhao Qingxuan said was not an exaggeration. There were indeed many good things in this market, including rare materials for refining weapons and alchemy, various high-level spells, formation books, and even There was a rare earth-level magic weapon for sale, which made Xu Qingfan feel dazzled.

Xu Qingfan came to Fangshi this time mainly because he wanted to find a few magic weapons.

Xu Qingfan now only has two magic weapons, "Three Zhang Qingling" and "Withered and Flourishing Ruler". Among them, Xu Qingfan has made up his mind to return the "Three Zhang Qingling" to his master sooner or later. Moreover, "Three Zhang Qingling" is a magic weapon with many functions, including flying, protection and trapping enemies. However, after the battle in the Southern Wilderness, Xu Qingfan found that although "Three Zhang Qingling" has many functions, it is precisely because of too many functions that its power is not very good. And Xu Qingfan's other magic weapon "Withered and Flourishing Ruler" is not of very high grade and has little power. It is not very effective when used to attack. So Xu Qingfan thinks he can take this opportunity to find a few powerful magic weapons for himself.

"Are you interested in selling the Blue-eyed Cloud Kick Beast?"

Just as Xu Qingfan was browsing between the stalls, a subtle voice suddenly sounded from Xu Qingfan's ears.
