Land god

Du Qian found a carriage, spent some money and asked the coachman for the location of Xiuzhenfang City, and then asked the coachman to drive them there.

The carriage swayed for more than half an hour before arriving at the place. From a long distance, there were countless Taoist temples in front of them, with criss-crossed cornices, and a cloud of green smoke shrouded the large roofs, and the smell of incense was wafting from their nostrils.

After getting off the carriage, Du Qian raised his eyes and saw two street stalls on both sides of the street, some selling talisman paper, such as talismans for healing diseases, talismans for eliminating disasters, pregnancy protection talismans... and portraits of immortals, such as Sanqing , Five Emperors, Daoist Lords of Ten Directions... There are also incense sticks, such as thread incense, stick incense, tower incense, mosquito coil... There are also everything sold, just like a grocery store, and the sellers who sell these things are all wearing Taoist robes of various colors of men, women and children.

Well!Du Qian wondered if he went to the wrong place. What kind of Xiuzhen Square is this? The streets are full of ordinary people. They hang around in different stalls and listen to what the Taoist priests are saying: Disasters, all tests and all spirits."

Fortunately, he felt it himself, and found that the talisman papers and other things sold by these Taoist priests had faint spiritual accumulations, which would have some effect to some extent, and they were not deceptive things.

Pushing the tall bald head to the front to open the way, Du Qian and his party entered the Xiuzhenfang City. After walking not far, there was a Taoist temple called Ding Lan Temple, which attracted Du Qian's attention, because he I sensed the aura of a cultivator in it. Zhongzheng is peaceful and round like jade. He is obviously an orthodox cultivator, and his strength is not weak.

So he walked into this Taoist temple with the bald head, and saw that there was a small courtyard in the temple first, with many orchids planted, quietly exuding a pleasant fragrance. A piece of pure land looks extraordinarily clean and gratifying.

In the small main hall at the front, a young Taoist priest was cleaning the incense burner. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately put down the rag and asked, "Do you two believers ask for a lottery or make a wish?"

Du Qian saw the cleverness on the young Taoist's face, it was obvious that he already had a certain foundation of practice, and now he was even more sure of his judgment.

"Dare to ask, fellow daoist, if there are any elders here? We are practitioners who came from afar, and we want to ask about the situation of Qingxu Mountain."

When the little Taoist heard about it, he quickly saluted and said, "Senior, I'll call the master out later." Then he ran into the back hall.

It didn't take long to see an old Taoist with white beard and hair coming out from the inside. After seeing Du Qian, he smiled, and then cupped his hands and said: "The god is coming to Xiaoguan, He Jizi is far away to welcome him!"

"Huh?" Du Qian was slightly surprised. Since his strength improved, he has been able to completely restrain his divine light. Because of his cultivation skills, even practitioners who are much higher than him can't see him. Although this old man has a bit of Taoism, Du Qian can see that he is much weaker than himself, how can he see his identity?

But the old Taoist said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, the gods, the old Taoist has some skills in spiritual eyes, so he can see that there is a divine light hidden in your body."

"So that's how it is." As expected, there are all kinds of strange people and strange things emerging in the world of practice. Du Qian recovered his face and said with a smile: "I came to Qingxu Mountain for the first time, and I would like to ask where the real Cultivation Square City is. ?” He intentionally bit down on the word “true”.

The old Taoist obviously understood the meaning of Du Qian's words, and said with a smile: "The gods don't know. Although this place is also a city of cultivators, it is a place where cultivators can use the power of cultivators to eliminate disasters for ordinary people. It is also a place where many Younger generations practice here. The real market for practitioners is at the foot of Qingxu Mountain. There is a huge stone engraved with the name of the mountain that is the entrance. It is covered by a formation and cannot be touched by mortals. Only those with a certain cultivation level can practice. People can pass through the formation and enter it."

"So that's how it is." Du Qian said with a smile, he had miscalculated when he asked the coachman before, even if it is a blessed place of practice, practitioners should avoid the eyes of ordinary people, so as not to be disturbed by the world!

Before leaving, Du Qian gave the old Taoist incense money of tens of taels of silver, and the old Taoist did not refuse to accept it, and said with a smile: "In the past, only mortals gave incense to the gods, but now the old Taoist can receive incense money from the gods. It can be considered that Sansheng is lucky!"

Du Qian and his party rushed to the west of the city after leaving the Taoist Temple. The Xilin City itself was built on Qingxu Mountain, and the direction to the west of the city is the entrance to the mountain. That is to say, the real Xiuzhenfang City they are looking for is in the west of the city. .

The boulder with the name of the mountain was very conspicuous, and it didn't take much effort to find it. I saw a ten-foot-high stele-shaped boulder, covered with moss and weeds, with three flowing red characters of Qingxu Mountain in the middle, It seems that there is nothing special about it, but when Du Qianhe approached and stretched his hand towards the huge boulder, he felt a force of rejection, like a rubber wall, which should be the enchantment formed by the formation up.

However, this formation is only for filtering mortals and those with too low a cultivation level. It is not difficult for Du Qian. He just spit out the divine power in his palm, and he saw a layer of ripples on the surface of the boulder, revealing like a blurred water mirror. The market scene with people coming and going inside.

Du Qian walked through with Xiaozhu in one hand, followed by his bald head. After passing through the boulder, it was a different world. Although Qingxu Mountain was still Qingxu Mountain, Xilin City was gone, replaced by a A bustling town, and the sky outside the town has sword lights and magic weapons flying by from time to time—this is the real city of cultivation!

There is a main street in the town. Du Qian and the others walked into the street, and when they looked up, they saw a three-storey pavilion with the words "Feiyun Pavilion" written on the plaque.From the outside of the door, you can see that there are many shining weapons inside, which shows that this is a shop that sells refining items.

Du Qian went in and took a look, and found that most of the containers in front of him were not good products. They appeared to be colorful, but in fact they were just flashy things, but there were a few items in the corner. It seems ordinary, but it is actually a practical magic weapon with exquisite refining methods.

The clerk in that shop was very clever. Seeing Du Qian staring at a few treasures in the corner, he immediately walked over and said with a smile on his face: "Please come to honored guests, all of them are high-quality products made by famous masters."

Du Qian smiled when he heard the words, presumably these flashy things are used to fool those newcomers who have no eyesight, but he doesn't want to lose customers who really know the goods, so he put some good things in the corner. Test the eyesight of customers.

Du Qian and the bald head went to the second place, and saw that this place is really different from the first one. There are very few things placed in each counter, and there are only three or five pieces, but each piece has a corresponding array protection. The magic weapons are suspended in their respective protective formations, exuding a faint and condensed precious light.

The things here are indeed good goods, at least the means of refining weapons are much better than Du Qian who is a beginner, but most of the magic weapons are attack types, which are better than the colorful flying sword he seized from Ai Li Zhenjun, and The corundum ax used by the bald head is several grades worse, so he has no interest in buying it.

On the last counter, however, he saw a few special magic weapons, and his eyes lit up immediately.

The person in charge of the second is a beautiful female cultivator. When she saw Du Qian's expression, she smiled and said: "Your guest has good eyesight. These are the magic weapons newly refined by the famous teacher Nanling Zhenren. They are more precious than ordinary magic weapons. That’s a lot! Two pieces were bought after they were put on display yesterday, and I’m afraid they will be gone after today.”

"Hmm." Du Qian took a closer look, selected a lost trace array plate and a set of five-element array flags, and looked at the price below, but there were "three thousand spirit seeds" and "five thousand spirit seeds" written on them.

Du Qian asked, and the female monk was not surprised to see that he didn't know this, and immediately introduced it in detail.It turns out that the currency used for transactions in Qingxu Mountain is Lingzi, just like ghosts and immortals, but here it is jointly issued by all the practice sects in Qingxu Mountain. The only difference is that Lingzi can only be traded and stored in Qingxu Mountain. If this limit is exceeded, it will be invalid.

"If you have spirit objects that you need to sell, you can go to the naturalist in Fangshi here, or you can sell them directly in this store. This store has a list of spirit objects jointly announced by the seven sects of Qingxu Mountain. Common spirit objects are listed here. price, you don’t have to worry about being cheated.”

Du Qian wanted to take a look at the list, but it turned out to be a jade slip with the words "Qingxu Qifeng" printed on it. The types of spiritual things recorded in it were all-encompassing, almost everything he could think of. Du Qian decided to change some of the things on here first, and buy these two magic weapons for formation.

When the female monk heard about it, she picked up a chime and knocked on a small bronze bell next to the container, and then a middle-aged Taoist priest came down from San San, but he was a naturalist hired by the temple.

Du Qian took out several spiritual materials, and the naturalist observed them one by one, and gave conclusions and quotations, which were not much different from the prices recorded in the jade slips. In just a short time, Du Qian got [-] spiritual seeds in exchange.

The bald head was very curious about the shiny jade pieces in Du Qian's hand, but when Du Qian asked him what he wanted to buy, he shook his head again: "There is nothing I want, Du Qian will help me buy whatever suits me."

Du Qian sighed, this guy who has no material desire~

As he wished, he bought two magic weapons for formation. Du Qian thought for a while, and then asked the female monk, "Can you buy magic weapons here?"

The female monk flashed her eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I will accept it. Show our naturalist the magic weapon you are going to sell. If you agree with the price he gave, sell it here. We will keep it a secret for the distinguished guest. "

Du Qian nodded, and took out the Jade Scale and Bone Sword he refined earlier, he wanted to see how much the magic weapon he refined was worth.

The naturalist first laid out a formation map full of runes on the counter, activated the formation method, Du Qian put the jade scale bone sword on it, and the bone sword was suspended on the formation diagram, emitting a layer of A faint green gleam.

"Oh, this is a newly refined magic weapon." The naturalist looked up at Du Qian, and the female monk's eyes lit up and her smile softened a lot.

Du Qian said nothing on his face, but he suddenly realized in his heart, no wonder the female cultivator looked confused just now, it turned out that she regarded him as a cultivator who murdered and seized treasures, and came to them to sell the stolen goods!

The naturalist studied the Jade Scale and Bone Sword and said: "The refining technique of this treasure is ordinary, and there is nothing outstanding about it. Instead, it has a clever mind. It used several methods of refining the weapon, and made a 200-year-old sword. The alien spirit snake is refined into a sword, the sword is sharp and poisonous, it is a third-grade magic weapon, and it is worth 2000 two hundred spirit seeds."

2000 two hundred spiritual seeds, this price is acceptable to Du Qian, after all, a very good array is only [-] spiritual seeds.

"May I ask what the grade of this magic weapon is?" Du Qian asked whenever he didn't understand, and he wasn't afraid that others would think he was ignorant.

The naturalist did not show contempt because of this, and explained to Du Qian patiently.

It turns out that the level of magic weapons was formulated by refiners and naturalists for the convenience of trading, and it has been generally recognized by the practice community after a long time. Although different types of magic weapons have different evaluation standards, they can generally be divided into nine grades.

The first to third grades are the most common, and most of the magic weapons used by practitioners are in this list, such as the jade scale bone sword and golden whip that Du Qian made himself, as well as the array discs and array flags he just bought, etc., while the fourth to sixth grades Items belong to very good treasures, such as colorful flying swords, corundum axes and so on.

As for the seventh to ninth grades, they are very rare in the practice world. Generally, they are the favorite magic weapons in the hands of a successful party, or the treasures of some major cultivation schools. To be able to take a look.

It doesn't mean that the best magic weapon is the ninth grade. This kind of division refers to the magic weapon created by human beings. Those congenital spiritual treasures cannot be evaluated by ordinary people.

In the end, Du Qian did not sell his Jade Scale Bone Sword, but left with the two formation magic weapons and the bald head. After walking not far in Fangshi, they smelled a strange fragrance, like barbecue , but it is mixed with a light medicinal fragrance. When I looked up, I saw a signboard with the words "Pinxian" hanging on a pavilion.

Du Qian immediately smiled and said to the bald head: "I didn't expect that there is also wine in this Xiuzhen Square. Let's taste the difference in food for practitioners!"

Of course, a bald head who has delicious food will not refuse. The two stepped into the wine, and saw several rows of wooden signs hanging on the side wall, with the names and prices of the dishes written on them.

"Hey! The price is really impressive." Du Qian glanced and found that the things here are surprisingly expensive, almost nothing below a hundred spirits, and he just inquired about the prices outside, such as the explosive fire talisman attack For a powerful talisman, ten Lingzi can buy a dozen, and if you eat a few meals here, the cost is worth a good magic weapon!

"If it's too expensive, we'd better not eat it." The bald head looked at Du Qian and said that he could eat whatever he wanted.

"It's okay, we've learned a lot." Du Qian said with a smile. Although the vegetables are expensive, they can be said to have made a fortune after getting Zhenjun Ai Li's hidden treasure, so naturally they don't need to save too much.

The store posted the price of the vegetables on the wall at the entrance, presumably to let the customers choose by themselves, so as soon as the two of them walked forward, a waiter came to greet the customers immediately.

The facilities of this Pinxian are indeed worthy of its price. The tables in the lobby are all carved from white jade with emerald green. There are not many people eating here. Du Qian only saw three tables of people. The seats are covered with spells, so that outsiders can't see the scene inside, and can't hear the voice of the voice.

The two chose a table by the window and sat down. Du Qian recalled the name of the dish just now, and said to the waiter: "For cold dishes, you need a plate of shredded yellow bamboo shoots, and a plate of sauce-flavored five sesame seeds. For hot dishes, you need a plate of red sea bass. Panyu beef, and two more bowls of Japonica rice, and an empty plate." He held up the little tiger in his arms, indicating that the empty plate was for his spiritual pet.

The guy wrote down the name of the dish, and then said: "There are 730 four spirits in total, please pay the bill first."

After Du Qian paid the bill, the guy went happily, and brought out the cold dishes after a while.

The yellow bamboo shoots are made from the bamboo shoots of Polygonatum odoratum. This kind of spiritual bamboo is often used to refine flying swords after it grows up. Now the bamboo shoots are really precious for cooking.

Du Qian took a sip and found that the fragrant bamboo shoots tasted sweet with a long aftertaste, and it was slightly sour after being cooked, which whetted the appetite.

Sauce-flavored Wuzhi is made of green, white, yellow, red, black, and five-color century-old Ganoderma lucidum. Originally, Ganoderma lucidum is bitter, but after adding a special sauce, it has a taste of barbecue. It is not greasy and has a lingering taste. Not only the bald head loves it, but even the little tiger who has never been a vegetarian also tasted a few mouthfuls.

The hot dishes and rice were served soon. The ruddy and attractive red perch, the snowflake-like jade beef, and the crystal-clear, green and translucent Japonica rice all brought visual enjoyment to people.

The red perch and the jade ox are both types of spirit beasts. Although they are not powerful and rare species, their meat is very delicious. The planted ones have an aura in the fragrance, and the taste is soft and luscious, which is really top-notch.

After a meal, both of them squinted their eyes, showing a satisfied expression. Not long after that, they both felt a stream of heat slowly flowing out from the abdomen, nourishing the limbs and bones, and the power movement in the body also changed. It seems that the meals made of these spiritual materials are not only delicious, but also very beneficial to practice.

Du Qian stretched his waist comfortably and said, "Bald, let's stay here for a few more days~"
