Sitting and forgetting longevity

Chapter 578

Youdu occupies a vast area, and behind the towering city gates are row upon row of houses and long streets. Its organizational structure is not like the city of cultivating immortals, but rather like a capital city for mortals.In the center, there is a strictly forbidden imperial palace. The resplendent pavilions and palaces are majestic and majestic.

It is said that this is where the Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor lives every day, and it is also the place where the concubine concubine ceremony is held this time.

However, I heard that there is a dungeon underground in Youdu, but only the ghost emperor's close relatives can enter it, and it is not open to outsiders.

Because there was an air-forbidden array in the city, Liu Qinghuan and his party of three walked in slowly and successfully entered the city gate. He raised his eyes and saw the noise of cars and horses and people's voices on the spacious street. Very lively.

Feng Xian stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and a low-level monk immediately ran over: "Go, bring your car to a big one."

The low-ranking monk nodded and bowed in response, turned around and yelled at the boys in the corner, but after a while, a large car stopped in front of the three of them.

Liu Qinghuan found it quite interesting, and looked at the five monsters pulling the cart, each of which was above the second rank, somewhat similar in appearance to a horse, but even taller and taller.

The three sat on it, and the monster ran briskly, and the car was very smooth.

Hearing that Liu Qinghuan was visiting Youdu for the first time, Feng Xian enthusiastically pointed to both sides of the street to introduce him, and then said: "Then let's go to rent a residence first, monks like me usually live in East City."

Wen Zhen reminded: "We came back a bit late, and there must have been a lot of fellow Taoists in Youdu recently. I'm afraid there are no good places to live. However, I have a small courtyard in the city. If you don't mind, you can temporarily Live with me."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, he was not used to living with other people, so he had no choice but to politely refuse: "Thank you Wenzhen Taoist friend, but I don't want to bother you too much, I just rent a place by myself. I have never been very particular about where I live Pay attention, as long as it is quiet."

"That's fine." Wen Zhen didn't force it, just smiled: "My residence is close to the east of the imperial city, not far from brother Fengxian's. After you find a residence, we will visit again."

"sure."

Feng Xian was very happy after entering the city, and said with a smile: "So many fellow Taoists have come, it's a good time to communicate, there must be a lot of various gatherings, but I don't know if fellow Taoist Qingmu is interested in participating?"

Liu Qinghuan showed joy, and said: "That's really what I wish for, I just want to make more friends."

The three of them walked while talking, and soon arrived at the rented residence that Feng Xian said, the other two bid farewell to him, got in the car and left.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared at the corner of the street that Liu Qinghuan looked away, smoothed the slightly wrinkled clothes, and then walked into the door behind her.

Just as Wen Zhen expected, now there are only about ten days left before the grand ceremony, and most of the rented courtyards in Dongcheng City have been occupied by people from all directions, and even the better inns in the city are full. During the second celebration, the high-ranking monks from the entire netherworld gathered in Youdu.

Fortunately, Liu Qinghuan really didn't pay much attention to these things, and just found a remote courtyard.

After leaving the rented residence, Liu Qinghuan was not in a hurry to go back. First, he took a stroll around the city, and then sat down in a lively tea house, drinking tea leisurely while listening to the chatter of people around him.

The news among the market is the most well-informed, and Zhaoyang Ghost Emperor accepting concubine is the biggest thing now, so everyone talks about it the most.

At the end of the day, Liu Qinghuan had almost inquired about the complicated relationships among the big forces like Youdu, Senluo City, and Luofeng Mountain.

Hongshang, born in Senluo City, one of the side concubines of the Ratu Ghost Emperor in Luofeng Mountain, cultivated in the late Yuanying period, and her sister Suruo, who was in the early Yuanying period, will marry into Youdu in ten days.

When he returned to the small courtyard he rented, he set up a series of magic circles, took out the Tainan Immortal Sword from the storage space, and immediately said: "Brother Jian, please ask another master."

Tainan Immortal Sword was lying on the table dully, it took a while to react, and it stood up angrily.

Liu Qinghuan would not wait for it to come, and said loudly with dissatisfaction on his face: "That ghost cultivator named Hongshang is only one step away from the God of Transformation, how do you ask me to kill a monk who has just given birth? If you didn't do anything, you were killed by her first! Don't force others to make things difficult for you, I can't kill you at all now, and I want to save my life and go back to Yunmengze."

It's a pity that Tainan Xianjian obviously didn't want to listen to his words, and twisted desperately in his hand, trying to get out of the scabbard.

Liu Qinghuan pressed it desperately, and said again: "Stop, stop, I want to discuss it with you, and I don't mean that I won't kill it, but you have to give me time, at least let me improve my cultivation to the middle stage of Nascent Soul The above will do."

Yes, he needs time.If he ran to find Hongshang now, it would be tantamount to sending him to his death, and it was even more impossible for him to do anything in this grand ceremony of accepting the concubine.

Not to mention that his cultivation base is much higher than him, there are as many high-level monks in the grand ceremony, and there may be several ghost emperors. As long as he makes a slight change, he may end up completely wiped out.

After some persuasion and explanation, Tainan Xianjian finally calmed down, and there seemed to be a trace of resentment called frustration floating around him.

Liu Qinghuan had no choice but to comfort her and said: "So, revenge for you needs a long-term plan. I plan to retreat for a period of time in a few days. In addition, I will also find a way to wash away your filth as soon as possible. You need to cooperate well."

He pondered while saying: "It would be great if I could find a lot of Wangyou cold water. The filth on your body is too heavy, and a little bit should not be of much use. Unfortunately, I have seen that kind of spiritual water in Xibaochi. , I’ve never seen it anywhere else...Maybe you can find other spirits with similar effects..."

In the next few days, Liu Qinghuan went to find Fengxian and Wenzhen, and attended the gathering of high-ranking monks with them.And these gatherings, in addition to drinking wine and socializing, occasionally there will be a small private fair.

If the cultivation level has reached the Nascent Soul level or above, the materials, pills, items, etc. needed are not natural treasures, rare and rare, and it is basically impossible to buy them in shops outside.The last time he was able to buy a floating shuttle in the ancient mound dungeon was also because the other party asked him for it, otherwise he might not have brought it out at all.

So after arriving at Yuanying, monks either search for it by themselves, or exchange with others.Because what a Nascent Soul cultivator needs can only be found in people of the same cultivation level.

Feng Xian suppressed his voice and said excitedly: "This time there are more than a dozen Taoist friends participating in the exchange meeting, which is considered a good scale. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Zhaoyang accepted the concubine and brought everyone together in Youdu, there wouldn't be so many together." people."

Liu Qinghuan followed him into a small building and said, "Why didn't fellow Taoist Wenzhen come today?"

"Brother Wenzhen went to recite poems and paint with some sour scholars today, and leave him alone." Feng Xian answered casually, and the two walked up the stairs, and asked again: "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, are you ready?" Have you got what you want to exchange, and have you figured out what to exchange?"

Liu Qinghuan nodded: "I just don't know what the regulations will be."

"It's very simple, when the time comes..."

The two quickly went up to the third floor, and saw that several people had already arrived, gathering in twos and threes in the spacious hall, chatting and laughing happily.

Liu Qinghuan glanced at them, and naturally they didn't know most of them. All the people present were cultivated above Nascent Soul, and two of them even reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Feng Xian walked towards one of the late-stage monks with a smile on his face, and raised his voice slightly: "Fellow Daoist Nangu, long time no see."

The man turned around, but it was a handsome middle-aged Xiu, said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, I thought I won't see you this time, why are you here at this time?"

Fengxian said with a hearty smile: "I was drunk and forgot about the sword wall and comprehend the sword. I forgot the time for a while. I heard that you are going to organize an exchange meeting. How could I miss it? Naturally, I hurried back. By the way, let me introduce you For a moment, this is Fellow Daoist Aoki..."

Liu Qinghuan cupped his hands gently and politely, Nan Gu exchanged a few words with him, and then went to greet other people.

After staying for a while, a few more people came one after another, and soon the hall became very lively.

Nan Gu clapped his hands outside the crowd, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said: "The time is up, and people are almost here. Thank you fellow daoists for your kindness to participate in this exchange meeting. I believe everyone can't wait any longer. That's it." let's start?"

Immediately, several people agreed, so they all moved to the long table on the side of the hall and sat down.

Liu Qinghuan followed Feng Xian to the fourth place on the right, and then heard Nan Gu laughing: "According to the usual practice, let me talk about the rules first. This exchange will be based on the principle of fairness and voluntariness. Everyone has a chance to speak once." Opportunity, you need to prepare three or less things that our cultivation base can use, such as spiritual materials, pills, spiritual treasures, etc., and tell us what you want to exchange, or how much the value of the spiritual stone is. Other If you have any fellow daoists, you can exchange them, but you can't force the exchange, it needs to be agreed by both parties. Are you clear?"

A female cultivator on the right fanned the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Nangu, I already knew about it a long time ago, so please stop talking."

Nan Gu laughed twice, and said: "Well, I won't talk nonsense, just start with me first, and continue from left to right."

As he said, he put a brocade box, a jade vase and a jade slip on the table in front of him: "The ones I took out this time were a 500-year-old Fushen Shenmu and a The Xuanming Yin elixir that I made by myself, and an ancient elixir formula that is actually usable after my research. What I want to exchange is a spiritual grass that is at least 2000 years old. It doesn't matter what kind of spiritual grass, as long as the medicine is 2000 years old The year is enough. As long as any fellow daoist can take it out, he can choose two of these three things."

After speaking, he looked at the others expectantly.

Liu Qinghuan's heart was slightly shocked when the other party took out the Soul Melting Fu Shenmu. He didn't expect to meet what he needed with the first item.

The branches are slender and thick, resembling curved pine roots. The roots are intact and dense, as if they have just been pulled out of the soil. The cap is thick and solid, with a ring-shaped texture on the surface.

Hearing what the other party wanted to change, he was slightly happy in his heart, and glanced at the other people on the table, only to see that most of them were focused on the bottle of Xuanming Yinling Pill.

Just as he was about to open his mouth, someone said: "Brother Nangu, is he going to refine some kind of elixir again? He actually needs to use spiritual herbs that are more than 2000 years old. He is indeed a master of alchemy! I just don't know what kind of elixir it is, are you willing to sell it? "

Nan Gu smiled perfunctorily at that person, then turned to the others: "I wonder if you have anything I need?"

There was a moment of silence on the table, and a pale-faced male cultivator on the right shook his head, and said, "Xuanming Yinling Pill is extremely useful for ghost cultivators like us, but spirit herbs that are more than a thousand years old are already extremely hard to find. Let alone the year 2000."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Nangu, I'm afraid no one here will have a 2000-year spirit grass. However, I would like to offer fifty thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy your Xuanming Yinling Pill. Is it possible?"

Nan Gu couldn't help being a little disappointed, he shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"Dare to ask, what kind of elixir is recorded in your ancient elixir formula?"

The person who asked the question was naturally Liu Qinghuan, but he was not interested in any Xuanming Yinling Pill.

Nan Gu looked at him with burning eyes, and said: "The ancient alchemy formula records a method of refining the elixir called Qingling Yuqiong Dan, which can improve the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the efficacy of the medicine is better than that of ours. The Xuanyuan Dan, which can also improve the cultivation level, is [-]% better. However, each of the above elixir is also more rare and more difficult to find."

He tentatively asked: "So Fellow Daoist is also a master of alchemy?"

Liu Qinghuan smiled lightly and said, "Master, I dare not say it, but occasionally I can make two furnaces. Qingling Yuqiong Pill...did you just say that you have carefully studied this recipe and it is indeed feasible?"

After asking such detailed questions, everyone already guessed that Liu Qinghuan must have more than 2000-year-old spiritual herbs in his hand, and couldn't help but look sideways at him.

The medicinal age of the spirit grass has reached 2000 years, and it is already invaluable. If it is placed outside, it may cause bloodshed...

Nan Gu couldn't hide his joy, and said eagerly: "Yes, I got this recipe from an ancient secret place, and many of its ingredients have been extinct. After so many years of careful research, I found a corresponding replacement elixir. Danfang, so I guarantee it will definitely work."

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, a nearly extinct Fushen Fu Shenmu, plus an ancient alchemy formula that was personally researched by an alchemy master, is barely worth a 2000-year-old spiritual herb.

What's more, these two things are what he needs urgently, and he doesn't have anything else in his hands, but he can have as many spiritual herbs as he wants.

With a flip of his hand, he pushed a long box over: "Look."

Nan Gu quickly took it, and lifted the lid of the box a crack, only to smell a refreshing medicinal fragrance that immediately flowed out from the crack.

"Hahaha, good!" Nangu closed the lid with a snap, laughed a few times excitedly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qingmu, you can choose any two of the three things I took out."

He naturally chose the Fushen Fushenmu and Gu Dan formula, and nodded after checking that it was true.

Nangu said with a red face: "Very good, this exchange meeting is a good start, so please invite the next one."

Sitting on his left was an old man, who put his three items on the table, and after introducing them, he glanced at Liu Qinghuan: "What I want to exchange is a piece of blazing iron that is at least as big as a fist, or It is a three-striped yellow dragon grass that is more than 1000 years old."
