Because the city defense formation is completely off-limits to the air.
Putting the flying boat into his sleeve, Yi Lao led the way and took Keqing into the city easily.
"You are new to my Qingcang City...Do you want me to send someone to show you around?"
"This matter can wait. If what Yi Lao said is correct, the city lord will be very concerned about the young city lord..." Keqing shook her head, "If the misunderstanding is not resolved, what will happen if you city lords find that the culprit is still playing in the city?"
No matter what, he must be furious.
"It was my fault for not considering this aspect."
I was so eager for the elixir that I forgot the city lord’s attitude, Yi Lao said embarrassedly.
"How about this, why don't I take you for a tour first? With me by your side, the city lord won't mind if we waste some time."
Without waiting for Keqing to react, he led the way.
Qingcang City is located in the eastern area of Baicheng, closer to the wasteland, and can be regarded as a prosperous ancient city.
Because of the no-fly zone, the streets were crowded with cars and people.
The city is an ordinary city. You can see cultivators coming and going. There are places where cultivators exchange experiences and trade magic weapons. There are also mysterious formation shops, magnificent alchemy halls, and quaint magic weapon shops. It is no different from an ordinary city.
In the deep formation shop, various ancient and complex formation stone tablets are written one by one, and the words reveal a mysterious atmosphere. The patterns of the formation flicker with a faint light, as if containing infinite power. In the medicine hall, rows of bottles and jars are filled with elixirs of various colors, and the dense medicinal fragrance permeates the air, making people calm. In the magic weapon shop, various ancient magic weapons are quietly placed, in various shapes and forms, but all reveal a kind of silent power.
It seemed that it had been a long time since he felt the worldly atmosphere from the world of cultivation. The Yue Fox lying on his shoulder showed some interest for a rare time. He poked his head out and looked at him with interest with his fox eyes.
Keqing was also observing, but what she observed was different from hers.
She was mostly learning and judging. For example, the stone tablets in front of each shop looked inconspicuous, but they should be related to the formation, right?
There was also that stall. When it saw her coming, it took out something unnoticeably. It looked like some kind of ancient relic. Keqing could even sense the spiritual charm revealed on it.
Is this to attract yourself to pick up bargains?
And why did the fragrance of the elixirs from the pharmacy suddenly become stronger? Don't think that she didn't smell the medicinal effects of the herb Diemsa.
"Why, are you interested, fellow Taoist?"
"without……"
Before Keqing could answer, she saw Yi Lao walking and stopping in front of the stall.
"My friend, how do you sell this?"
Chapter 718: How dare you bully me! (2500)
Yi Lao smiled and said complacently.
"There are endless ancient relics around Qingcang City. To be fair, although many strange things have been unearthed from those ruins, only a few of them can be put to use. "
"You seem to be interested in these, fellow Daoist? How about I make the decision? I will pay for whatever you want."
Old Yi touched his nose, looking generous. In his opinion, what good things could there be in this small stall? If you fill it up, it would only be a few high-quality spirit stones, which wouldn't cost much.
If he guessed correctly, Keqing had some interest in these ancient relics. In that case, why not do her a little favor and establish a good relationship with her. This way, she would be able to have a good ending afterwards. Then it would be natural for her to ask for the elixir when the time comes, right?
Keqing laughed.
"That's not necessary. I'm not very interested in it."
She shook her head. It was not that she was interested, she just glanced at him but was misunderstood.
"Oh, if
This... seems like I misunderstood. That's right, what good things are there in this stall? To put it bluntly, most of them are fakes... It's okay to deceive those who want to get a big bargain, but in our eyes, it's far from good."
"If you ask me, if you want to see treasures, you should go to the auction house or the Treasure Pavilion. The treasures there have been appraised, and there are real relics. You may come across something good."
Seeing that Keqing seemed to have no intention of exploring, Yi Lao quickly changed the subject, as if to guide Keqing to experience it.
The young stall owner nearby saw a customer coming in, his eyes lit up instantly, but Keqing was obviously not interested. Yi Lao seemed to want to leave, and he was anxious. How could he let such a rare fat sheep run away? So he smiled and greeted the customer incessantly.
"Customer, which one do you like? These are all newly unearthed treasures. Maybe some ancient secrets are hidden inside them!"
"Look at this, it's antique and was unearthed last month. It might be some treasure!"
"And this one. Look at the runes on it. Although it is incomplete, it is elegant and majestic. You can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary and contains endless Taoist meanings."
"Also, I have this. Although I don't know what it is used for, it is invulnerable to swords and axes, and it has a mysterious mark. Maybe it is the key to the mysterious secret realm!"
The stall owner talked incessantly, and quickly took out the so-called precious ancient relics and treasures from stall after stall, but none of them caught Yi Lao's eye.
The stall owner could even see the disdainful look on the old man's face, with a hint of disgust and as if he could see through everything. His heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had met a tough guy.
His eyes turned quickly, his expression did not change, and he took out one so-called treasure after another, but none of them caught Yi Lao's eye, so he just glanced at them. The other party became even more impatient and pretended to wave his hand to drive them away.
However, at this moment, he took out a new ancient relic without a trace, but this glance made Yi Lao suddenly pause.
"what?"
Mr. Yi originally wanted to teach this cheating stall owner a lesson. He really thought he was a fool and used one thing after another to deceive him.
What simplicity and grandeur? Did he really think that he could not see the traces of forgery on it? And those so-called ancient runes, they were indeed ancient, but they were just the casual writings of an ancient monk. What kind of stuff was that? To have fooled him!
Yi Lao was getting impatient and was just about to make a move when a round compass with a hidden glow and an unremarkable appearance appeared in front of him.
Huh? This is... an ancient forbidden technique!
His eyes narrowed, and seeing his look, the young stall owner's expression did not change, but he smiled in his heart.
After he finished selling his stuff, he pretended to be disappointed when he saw that Mr. Yi was not interested.
"Alas, the customer has such high standards. There is nothing we can do if he doesn't like it."
"Wait, you said this was produced from ancient ruins, is that true?"
When Mr. Yi suddenly spoke, the young stall owner immediately smiled happily and started boasting.
"Of course! sir, these are all new goods, which I bought from independent cultivators."
Seeing that he started to talk wildly again, Yi Lao casually pointed at a few objects.
Amid the other party's boasting, he seemed to inadvertently point out the real target, the shabby compass.
In his opinion, among so many things, only this one is a real ancient relic, and the others are fake.
Ancient forbidden area, there must be treasures hidden inside.
"This one……"
The stall owner was stunned for a moment, his lips remained unchanged, but he smiled secretly.
"This treasure was dug out from the Qinglan Ruins. Look at this compass. The patterns are exquisite and the material is special. It must be worth a lot!"
Seeing him talking nonstop, Yi Lao waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. Do you think I don't know that all you have here are rubbish? Only this one looks good, and it actually aroused some interest..."
"Tell me, how much..."
"Ah... this, not much, only 100 high-grade spirit stones..."
"What!? Just 100 high-grade spirit stones for this broken thing!?"
"Hey, guest, this is not just some junk... I'm telling you, this thing has a very special origin, you know..."
"Alright, alright, do you really think I don't know about your tricks? That fan is made to look old... and the inkstone, if I'm not mistaken, it's made of bluestone. It's good enough that it can last for a hundred years without breaking. How could it have been passed down until now?"
"Hey, you liars will cheat when the time comes. I'm just in a good mood. I'm opening up to you today. This thing is too expensive. Everyone knows it's fake. Let me buy a few that I think are good, and I'll use this compass as a bonus..."
"Ah, sir, you are so greedy..."
The young stall owner started to argue.
Keqing watched the two people arguing quietly. In the end, the young stall owner gave in and made a deal with Yi Lao for fifty high-quality spirit stones. In addition to a large number of goods, he also gave him a compass. Keqing's eyes revealed something strange.
After purchasing the items, Yi Lao left with Keqing in satisfaction. Although the stall owner looked disappointed, he still had a smile on his face. It seemed that both sides felt that they had the upper hand.
After walking for a while, Mr. Yi finally smiled happily.
"Mr. Yi likes things related to ancient relics?"
"Hey, I don't like this at all... This is the fun of picking up bargains..."
Yi Lao rolled his eyes. If he could see it, the other party should be able to see it, right?
compass.
“Fellow Daoist, this is a real ancient relic, with ancient restrictions imprinted on it…” Yi Lao stroked his beard and said complacently, “Objects with ancient restrictions and preserved to this day all contain treasures, either secret treasures of the sect, or ancient inheritances. These are all good things.”
"It shows that the stall owner is young and doesn't know the treasure."
Keqing looked at the compass in front of her with a strange expression, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
And before his eyes, a message appeared clearly.
【Compass (including counterfeiting prohibition)】
[An ordinary compass was forged with a special technique to create a compass with ancient restrictions. On the surface, it looks like an ancient restriction, but it was actually intentional. The flaw is at the angle between the compass and the inner compass.]
"Young man, is there something wrong?" Yi Lao couldn't help but ask when he saw Keqing's strange expression.
Keqing sighed softly and looked at Yi Lao with embarrassment: "Yi Lao, I'm afraid you have been deceived."
"How is this possible! This is an ancient restriction!" Yi Lao immediately retorted, refusing to believe that he had been deceived.
“Ahem, actually I noticed a long time ago that the stall owner had tampered with the goods, so I took a look out of curiosity,” Keqing pondered for a moment.
"Mr. Yi, can you please let me have a look at the compass?"
Although Yi Lao was stunned for a moment, he did not hesitate. After all, the other party was a master of alchemy and did not lack this opportunity. He handed the compass to Keqing, but still did not believe that he was deceived.
However, after taking the compass, Keqing glanced at it casually, and then lightly and surely touched a corner of the compass with her spiritual power, as if she had a clear goal.
Following a slight wave, the compass shook slightly, and with a click, it made a shattering sound...
In full view of everyone, the compass turned into ashes in an instant.
"how come!"
Yi Lao's eyes widened, and in addition to shock, his voice was more embarrassed and angry. Keqing watched his face change suddenly and blinked.
“Obviously, Yi Lao, you have been deceived. This is just a fake ancient ban, just a false illusion.”
Keqing shrugged. "After all, how could a true ancient restriction be so fragile?"
"Asshole! How dare you bully me!" An angry shout echoed in the air.
Chapter 719: State of Mind (Part 1)
He was too clever by half. He thought he had found the treasure with his keen eyes and kept it from being covered in dust. However, he would have thought that his cleverness backfired and he ended up falling into someone's trap.
Who wouldn't be angry? Especially Old Yi, who thought that he was now a great god, and his knowledge and experience were far beyond that of ordinary people. The stall owner was just a small foundation-building cultivator. How could he be deceived by such a person!
Isn't this a slap in the face!?
The anger in Yi Lao's heart was like a volcanic eruption, constantly brewing.
He did not care about anything else and swept his spiritual sense across the street, trying to intimidate the vendor. The range of a Divine Transformation cultivator's spiritual sense was very far-reaching. In just a moment, the path he had walked, including the place where the stall was located, was covered.
However, the stall owner might have guessed Yi Lao's reaction and had already escaped without a trace. Now, after a sweep of his spiritual sense, there was no trace of the person, and he had already run away.
Old Yi repeatedly scanned with his spiritual sense, but he couldn't find a single figure. He felt extremely aggrieved. This had nothing to do with spirit stones, it was a matter of face. How could he tolerate being slapped in the face like this?
In his rage, his pressure swept across the border like a violent wind. The originally bustling stalls and shops were instantly covered by invisible pressure. All the low-level cultivators felt as if a huge mountain had covered their bodies. For a moment, everyone was panicked and couldn't help but beg for mercy. God, which powerful person is so angry again...
Keqing also saw this scene. She sighed softly, and an invisible and gentle force was like a pair of delicate and soft fingers that gently brushed away the pressure that was heavier than a thousand pounds, just like brushing away the fallen leaves on the table, sweeping out a clear and bright scene.
As if they sensed that another powerful person had stopped this force, the street vendors hurriedly thanked him, then immediately packed up their stalls and left! Countless streams of light flashed by like meteors, which were the afterimages of the spiritual power attributes left by the monks due to their excessive speed.
This makes it even more difficult to find the liar!
Yi Lao's face turned slightly dark.
Seeing his reaction, Keqing looked at him thoughtfully.
"Is Daoyou very angry?"
The corner of Yi Lao's mouth twitched.
"Shouldn't I be angry?"
How can I not be angry after being cheated by a liar!? Isn't this a slap in the face? And it was slapped in front of the other party. Where can I put my face...
Not to mention that she was interfering!
Keqing thought about it.
