On the night when Wu Maxi returned to Chili Branch, there was a light rain. When the sun cleared the next day, the climate had clearly entered winter. The insects and birds were all silent, the breath became foggy, and the sun shone from the forest. There is a hotness, and an extra warmth.

The weather suddenly turned to cold winter, and the clothes Wumaxi had prepared were obviously not suitable for use. She went to the clothing store in the town early in the morning to buy a few new winter clothes. Unfortunately, there is no branch of the black-painted style in the town, so Wumaxi, who is extremely Consumers with a sense of brand belonging have to accept another brand—Qinfeng.

After going to work, Wu Maxi went to Bei Hao to cancel her vacation, and then went back to the Co-editing Research Office to say hello to everyone.Everyone in the co-editing research room was relatively indifferent to Wu Maxi's return, only Han Xiaolai was more enthusiastic, but this kid asked for gifts as soon as he opened his mouth.Wu Maxi was unprepared, so he took away a piece of Nanli talisman by surprise.Fortunately, Wumaxi now has Burning Orchid, so she doesn't really need this Nanli talisman.

Gong Xili is still the one who dislikes Wu Maxi the most, especially after seeing Wu Maxi wearing Qin Feng's clothes, it is even more displeasing to the eye. Xili happens to be Qin Feng's loyal customer, which makes him a little at a loss.

Wu Maxi went out after finishing the work in the research room, and soon appeared in the classics courtyard where the classics of artistic conception were stored. After completing the formalities, she went straight to the room for detecting the classics of artistic conception.

In Wu Maxi's next plan, the first step is to solidify the artistic conception.He is now a realm master, who can solidify two moods, and the first of these two moods must be the detection mood.

The detection mood in Wumaxi's hand is only guided by a spiritual lamp. Although it is exquisite, it is only an eleven-branched spirit lamp, and the detection range and subtlety are not up to the requirements.Moreover, the fluctuation of the guidance of the spirit lamp is too obvious, which is tantamount to completely abolishing the concealment function of Follow the Wind into the Night, which is unacceptable to Wu Maxi.In addition, its structure is too rigid, and there are too few changes. If it is used for rigid curing, this is not a defect, but Wu Maxi specially purchased the ultimate curing agent Jinxuanyan, just to solidify the artistic conception. Change, if the guidance of the spiritual lamp is solidified, Jin Xuanyan will be wasted.

The Chili Research Institute was built as a quasi-artistic academy, and its classics library is much larger than that of ordinary research institutes. The library of classics alone has a collection of more than 47 volumes, 64 Italian slips, and [-] jade buckles. However, there are [-] Yijing and [-] jade buttons that have been lent out and are not in the room for the time being.

Wu Maxi spent the morning browsing through one of those artistic conceptions, and found that these artistic conceptions were all high-end products. In terms of sophistication, they were not even as good as the guidance of the magic lamp, so naturally they could not meet Wu Maxi's requirements.But this is also within his expectation, good artistic conception is secret, of course it is impossible to let others borrow it in the classics room.

In fact, Wu Maxi didn't expect to find a suitable artistic concept here. He mainly wanted to have a deeper understanding of the detection artistic conception, and then purchase one in a targeted manner. And this kind of information must be found in those books.

The upper limit for a researcher to borrow each time is twenty books, five meaning slips, and five jade buckles. Jian Yukou brought them back to the environment room in the co-edited research room.

In the next few days, Wu Maxi was immersed in the research of detecting artistic conceptions. Except for occasionally going to the classics room to change a few books, she almost never went out, and the artistic concepts were filtered one by one.Three days have passed, and Wu Maxi has screened nearly a hundred artistic concepts and still has no satisfactory results, either the fluctuations are too large, or the detection is not subtle enough, or the detection range is too small, or the structure is too rigid to fine-tune, or Too rare to get, anyway, none of them work.

But during these three days of research, Wu Maxi came up with a crazy idea, adapting an artistic conception.

The artistic conception used by the high-level realm cultivation is basically processed and adapted by myself.The most famous Detective Artistic Conception Mirror in the Realm Cultivation World today, its prototype is nothing more than a very common Detective Conception Star Spot in the Realm Cultivator World.

Wu Maxi knew that with her theoretical foundation, the artistic conception performance adapted might not be very strong, but it definitely suited her.

As the saying goes: the most suitable is the best.

Moreover, Wumaxi also has her own capital - Moon Mirror.

It is said that the reason why Ba Mingyue, the master of moonlight, was able to create a mirror that shines thousands of miles is because he once studied the moon mirror.

Wu Maxi has reason to have expectations for the adaptation of Mood.

Now that the adaptation has been decided, the first step is to decide on the base material for the adaptation. After thinking twice, Wu Maxi decided to use the star spot artistic conception as the base material for the adaptation, just like Ba Mingyue.Star spots are widely spread in the realm of cultivation, and the price is not high, and the initial performance of this artistic conception is more in line with my requirements, and its plasticity is also very famous in the realm of cultivation.

Although star spots are common, they are definitely out of stock in the new town of Zuoyuan Town.Wu Maxi didn't want to go out of the town for a short time, so she decided to let the merchants in Zuoyuan Town do the shopping.

But I haven't finished get off work yet, so I still need to do some preparatory work first, for example, collect some adaptation materials.

To adapt an excellent artistic conception, extensive knowledge is a must.

Wu Maxi picked up the five notebooks at hand and began to read them. These notebooks have been left unused due to her busy reading these days, and now she is finally free to start researching.

The five meaning slips are not exquisite, but they are still very helpful for grasping the general structural characteristics of the detection concept. The overall structure is becoming more and more clear, and I have some preliminary ideas about the artistic conception adaptation.

Near the end of get off work, Wu Maxi found a rather special meaning slip, this slip is called Miaobi Danqing, the general detection concept is mainly based on the detection of fluctuations, but this Miaobi Danqing is mainly based on physical observation, it is more Suitable for blind people.

Seeing this artistic conception, Wu Maxi remembered its other use, and decided to learn this artistic conception as soon as possible.

It was already past six o'clock when I went out after work, and there was no one in the research room.

Wu Maxi walked out of the gate of Chili branch alone, and walked on the streets of Zuoyuan Town.

Zuoyuan Town is a new town with a small scale. There are only four main streets, one vertical, three horizontal, named after latitude and longitude.Among them, Sanwei Street is the one that leads directly to the entrance of Chili Research Institute, and it is also the one that Wu Maxi walks.

It was already dark, and the street lights were lit up sporadically.

The order at dusk was exceptionally chaotic, with people coming and going on the street.Wu Maxi habitually walked in the dark corners of the street. After walking for more than ten minutes, she found a restaurant in the street to eat something, asked Xiao Er about the situation of the shops in Zuoyuan Town, and then went out to Yijing Street go.

Yijing Street is the busiest street in Zuoyuan Town, where shops of some sizes are concentrated.

Wumaxi's goal was very clear. She went straight to Mingli Pavilion, an artistic concept store in the street, and negotiated with the shopkeeper to buy a batch of artistic concept materials and star-spotted Italian slips at a price of [-] gold coins.Since the star spots and some materials were temporarily out of stock, Wu Maxi left [-] gold coins to take some materials, and the rest were agreed to be delivered in six days.

After finishing this business, it was past ten o'clock when they went out. The night life of the realm cultivators had just begun. As soon as Wu Maxi went out, she saw Han Xiaolai entering the tavern with a group of friends. Han Xiaolai was busy with an ancient spirit. The spooky woman was so courteous that she didn't even see the direct superior who passed by.

Wu Maxi smiled, rubbed his hands together and walked towards the research institute. Every minute of his time must be spent on artistic conception, but he has no time to mess around like Han Xiaolai.

From Yijing Street to Sanwei Street, there is a night market in front of you. Although it is not as big as Xiqu City Beishi, it is not bustling.

Wu Maxi walked through the middle of the night market, and suddenly found an incredible thing in a small stall: a moon bracelet with a phoenix pattern.

Wu Maxi took the time to inspect the elephant ring, and found that the moon bracelet with phoenix pattern was still inside, so what happened to the moon bracelet with phoenix pattern on the stall?He didn't believe that the magical moon bracelet with phoenix pattern would be a commodity that can be found all over the street.

Wu Maxi squatted down in front of the stall, picked up the phoenix-patterned moon bracelet and observed it carefully, and soon found that the moon bracelet was similar in shape but not in spirit, not only did it not have the function of emitting waves, nor did it have any storage space, it was just a delicate It's just an accessory, but its material is very luxurious, and it is made of Yuezang Soft Silver. The cost of the material alone is at least nearly [-] gold coins.

"Boss, where did your bracelet come from?" Wu Maxi was a little curious about the origin of this bracelet.

"This bracelet has a history. I, Lao Xu, received it from a down-and-out nobleman three years ago. According to him, it has been passed down from his ancestors and has a history of more than 600 years." The stall owner Slightly chubby, with squinted eyes, "Guest officer, how about you pay me a price?"

"Ten gold coins." In terms of materials and workmanship, the price of this bracelet is not high, but Wu Maxi also knows that this item can be sold in the night market, which means that the stall owner is not clear about its value.

"Oh brother, you really dare to say that." The stall owner was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Maxi's quotation, "Just this kind of work, at least it should be worth hundreds of gold coins." The stall owner really didn't know the value of the bracelet, Just routinely raising prices.

Wu Maxi was about to increase the price to [-] gold coins, when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched the bracelet away, at the same time, a not-so-clean voice sounded: "This bracelet is okay, two hundred gold coins will cost me wanted."

Wu Maxi turned her head to look, and saw that it was a somewhat skinny old man with a few wisps of beard hanging from his chin, holding the bracelet in both hands and carefully wiping and observing, with an unconcealable joy on his face, while secretly Watch the stall owner's reaction.

It’s okay if you don’t take a peek. As soon as you take a peek, the stall owner immediately noticed the old man’s tricks, and began to raise the price up the pole: “Mr. Two hundred gold coins?"

The old man was also taken aback for a moment, and then he said angrily: "You are really..., so tell yourself, how much?"

"I said... you should say it yourself." The stall owner hesitated for a moment, and then returned the right to quote to the old man, "As long as your price is fair, I, Xu Daman, will consider it a friend without saying a word."

"If you want me to say, then...five hundred?" The old man seemed to have no business experience, and he was very unconfident in quoting this price.

"Hey, old man, you pat your conscience and tell me, are you losing your heart with this price?" After the ups and downs, this transaction has officially entered the performance time of the stall owner, "Look at the material , this design, and this workmanship, you are really good at it!"

"Then tell yourself, how much is it?"

"Don't tell me, you say, as long as the quotation is worthy of your own conscience, I, Xu Daman, will make a decision on the spot without saying a word."

"One thousand!" The old man still eagerly offered a price.

"Okay, the business is over, I won't deal with you anymore, you are not honest, honest people like us can't afford to play with you, we still don't offend the river."

The stall owner stretched out his hand to take the bracelet back, but the old man hurriedly protected him, saying: "Young man, it's easy to discuss, easy to discuss."

"What else is there to discuss? You have a lot of eyes, I am really afraid that I will fall into your trap if I am not careful."

"Young boy, let me tell you the truth. This bracelet of yours is called the Tibetan Moon Bracelet. There are nine pieces in a set. It is a thing handed down from the Central Plains. It is not worth a lot of money alone. , but I have already collected seven of these bracelets, and only the last two are missing. Yours is the eighth, so I am willing to offer you a high price, five thousand gold coins. This is the highest offer. After all, this price cannot It’s higher than my seven plus one, right?”

"Give me some more." The stall owner asked tentatively.

"It can't be any higher." The old man finally said firmly.

"Six thousand, once you get the money, the bracelet will be yours." The stall owner said firmly.

"Okay, six thousand is six thousand, whoever calls you an old man can do it." The old man was ready to pay helplessly.

"Wait a minute, old man, take a step to talk." Wu Maxi suddenly interrupted the old man's movement of taking out the money, pulled the puzzled old man aside, and said in a low voice, "Yuezang soft silver bracelet, six thousand gold coins Just take it down, don't you have to express it?"

"What... what is Yuezang Softbank?" The old man pretended to be puzzled.

"You gave me [-] gold coins. I thought I hadn't seen this. In addition, there was a message about this bracelet as a gift."

"Really, do you have news about the ninth bracelet?" The old man was full of excitement.

"I do have news about this bracelet." Wu Maxi said with a serious expression.

"Okay, fifty thousand gold coins for you." The old man happily took out the money card with fifty thousand gold coins and slapped it in Wumaxi's hand, "Where is the last bracelet?"

"My news is about this bracelet. This bracelet is fake." Wu Maxi left without saying much.

The old man froze on the spot when he heard the words.

Until Wu Maxi's figure disappeared into the distance, the stall owner came over and asked, "Old Jia, what did he say?"

"He said the bracelet was fake," replied the old man.

"There is something strange." The stall owner noticed the problem very keenly, "Could he have discovered something?"

"I think so too." The old man nodded and looked away, "The fifty thousand gold coins should be reimbursed?"
