Chapter 268: Yuan Yao's Experience, Nanlong Hou
After hearing Madam Qi's explanation, Ye Changsheng thought about it and nodded in agreement.
He turned to Yuan Yao and said, "Yao'er, choose a loft to live in first. I'll go meet Fellow Daoist Wei!"
"Young Master...be careful!" Yuan Yao said with some concern.
But she knew that Ye Changsheng had some grudges with the Huayi Sect. After all, Wei Lichen was crippled by him.
"Don't worry!" Ye Changsheng smiled and patted her hand.
"Madam Qi, let's go!" Ye Changsheng turned around and said to Madam Qi.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, please follow me!"
Madam Qi took Ye Changsheng out of the building area, and after making many turns in Tiantian City, they came to an ordinary, inconspicuous building.
"Senior Brother Wei is inside, so I won't accompany Fellow Daoist Ye in!" said Madam Qi.
Ye Changsheng took a look at this ordinary stone house, pushed open the door and walked in.
A corridor appeared in front of him. After walking past it, Ye Changsheng saw an old man with ordinary appearance, wearing green clothes, with light green hair, and black nails about an inch long on his hands.
It was the great monk Wei Wuya!
He sat upright at the table, and when he saw Ye Changsheng come in, a smile appeared on Wei Wuya's face.
"Brother Ye is here, please take a seat!"
Wei Wuya pointed to a cushion opposite and asked Ye Changsheng to sit down.
When he saw Ye Changsheng sitting opposite him, Wei Wuya picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and said:
"This is the fairy tea that someone below sent to me recently. I just got it and haven't had time to taste it yet. Today is a good opportunity for me to taste it with Brother Ye!"
Wei Wuya pushed the teacup over, with a smile on his face, and looked at Ye Changsheng steadily.
Obviously, this was a test for Ye Changsheng. Everyone knew that Wei Wuya was an expert in the field of poison.
I'm afraid that few people in this world would dare to drink the tea he handed over. Even the other two great monks from Tiannan would probably have to think twice.
Ye Changsheng looked at the cup of tea with a twinkling look in his eyes and a smile on his face. He took it, smiled and said:
"Brother Wei poured the tea himself. Ye must taste it carefully!"
As he spoke, he slowly took a sip, savored it for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "It is indeed a good tea!"
Wei Wuya saw this scene and showed admiration in his eyes. He said, "Brother Ye is really courageous. No wonder he can cultivate to such a level at such a young age!"
"If this cup of tea was placed in front of Zhiyang or Hehuan, they would not dare to drink it!" Wei Wuya said lightly.
"I believe in Brother Wei's character!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile on his face.
In fact, with his body cultivated through the Nine Apertures Star Yuan Gong, he could withstand even the most severe poison like the Ten Deadly Poisons after drinking it.
Wei Wuya's poison also belongs to the level of the Ten Deadly Poisons, so he is naturally not afraid of it.
The body forged with the power of the stars has a certain property that makes it immune to all evil.
Anything that is not beneficial to the body, once entering his body, will be immediately burned to ashes by the burning Star Spirit Purple Flame within his body.
Wei Wuya didn't know what Ye Changsheng relied on, but when he heard what he said, he laughed and said:
"Okay, although there was some grudge between you and me in the past, the fact that Brother Ye was able to drink my cup of tea today shows that Brother Ye is a very generous person. If I continue to dwell on the past, it would make me look petty!"
When Wei Wuya said this, it meant that he was going to completely let go of all the grudges he had with Ye Changsheng.
Of course, this is what happened on the surface, but no one knows what he actually thought about.
He crossed his hands, with his long black nails pressed against the back of his hands, and said softly: "The main reason I invited Brother Ye here today is because of the Mulan people's affairs!"
"Is it because the Mulan people are going to launch a large-scale attack on Tiannan?" Ye Changsheng put down his teacup and asked.
"Yes, it seems that Brother Ye has already known that after a hundred years of recuperation, the strength of the Mulan people has recovered as before. This time they are coming with great force and will definitely not give up easily!"
"Moreover, according to the news sent back by our Nine Nations Alliance's spies on the Mulan Grassland, it seems that something unexpected has happened on the Mulan Grassland, causing this group of Mulan people to really fight to the death to snatch our Tiannan land this time!"
As Wei Wuya spoke, his expression became serious.
"In the battle a hundred years ago, Brother Ye should have just returned to Tiannan when the war was over, so he didn't see the situation of that battle!" Wei Wuya said.
When Ye Changsheng heard this, he immediately understood.
Sure enough, these great monks already knew that he had been away from Tiannan for these years.
This group of people should have guessed that he had control of a teleportation array, and should have known that he went to another area, but they just didn't know that he went to the Chaos Star Sea.
The intelligence capabilities of these great monks are indeed extraordinary, but this is actually not difficult to guess.
If someone like Ye Changsheng had stayed in Tiannan before, he would definitely leave some traces.
And there is no trace of him in Tiannan, which can only mean that he went to another world of immortal cultivation.
"That battle was already very brutal. Even several Nascent Soul cultivators were lost. But this war will probably be even more brutal than the last one!" Wei Wuya continued.
"It was not the entire Mulan force that went to war with our Nine Nations Alliance before. At most, it was a coalition of several of their tribes that attacked us!"
"But this time, the Mulan people are likely to come out in full force!" Wei Wuya said.
"Brother Wei, what you mean is that this time Tiannan has to unite as a whole to withstand the attack from the Mulan people, right?" Ye Changsheng asked slowly.
"Yes, I think Brother Ye should also remember what he promised when he made the agreement with me, Zhiyang and Hehuan, right?"
Ye Changsheng nodded when he heard this and said, "Of course I remember this. I will certainly do my part to deal with the attack of the Mulan people!"
"Okay, this is what I've been waiting for, Brother Ye!"
"Long Han and Feng Bing, a couple from your alliance, have also agreed to fight. With Brother Ye's joining, we have one more top fighter in Tiannan!" Wei Wuya said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, Ye's participation in the battle is just the icing on the cake. How can it compare with a backbone like Brother Wei!" Ye Changsheng laughed and said modestly.
"Brother Ye, you are joking. When you were still an early-stage cultivator, you were already able to fight against us late-stage cultivators. Now that you have entered the middle stage, maybe I am not your opponent!" Wei Wuya said to Ye Changsheng with his eyes flashing.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng smiled but said nothing.
He thought that after entering the middle stage, he would be able to kill an average late stage cultivator.
But he still had some caution towards a cultivator like Wei Wuya who was at the peak of the late stage and only one step away from becoming a spirit.
Of course, if a real fight were to take place, Ye Changsheng was still confident that he could kill a figure of Wei Wuya's level.
However, it is certain that we will have to go through a tough battle.
Ye Changsheng talked with Wei Wuya for several hours before they walked out of the stone chamber.
He looked at the surrounding streets and walked towards the area where the Nascent Soul cultivators lived.
After passing through the white forbidden light curtain and arriving in front of a series of attics, Ye Changsheng immediately discovered the attic occupied by Yuan Yao.
When they reached the attic, the restriction was automatically activated, and Yuan Yao's charming face, showing both joy and anger, appeared in front of them.
"Young Master, I just went to a trade fair with two fellow Taoists from Luoyun Sect!" Yuan Yao stepped forward and said.
"Oh? Is it the kind of trade fair between Nascent Soul cultivators?" Ye Changsheng asked as he followed Yuan Yao into the attic.
"Well, it was the Fire Dragon Boy from the Ancient Sword Sect who invited us to attend. At the trade fair, I also met someone selling three thousand year old Red Jingzhi. I just happened to think that you needed this elixir, so I bought it!"
Yuan Yao said this as she took out a jade box and opened it. A fiery red object slowly floated up from the box.
This is a strange Ganoderma lucidum surrounded by red mist. It is only a few inches in size, but its entire body is fiery red and burning, its surface is smooth and crystal clear, and there are wisps of red clouds hovering above it.
It looks as if it is surrounded by fairy air, and looks like a fairy thing.
"It is indeed the Red Essence Ganoderma among the Ice and Fire Essence Ganoderma. This thing can be used to help me refine the elixir!" Ye Changsheng said with a hint of joy in his eyes as he looked at the Red Essence Ganoderma.
"Speaking of which, the spiritual medicines in the Tiannan region are really cheap. This precious red essence ganoderma with a three thousand year old medicinal age only costs 100,000 spiritual stones!"
“If this were in the starry sea, it would be sold for at least 200,000 spirit stones!” Yuan Yao opened her eyes wide and said coquettishly.
"I used a seventh-level demon pill with earth attribute to exchange this red essence from the other party!"
"That's how it is in the Tiannan region. Demon pills and monster materials are extremely precious, but spiritual medicines are much cheaper than in the Chaos Star Sea!" Ye Changsheng touched her hair and said with a smile.
"By the way, we encountered another incident at this trade fair. The organizer of the trade fair, Master Tianjing, took out several puppets that were comparable to Jindan stage cultivators and wanted to exchange them for some soul stones!" Yuan Yao said.
"Soul Stone? This kind of thing is the main material that ancient monks must add when refining high-level puppets. I think this Master Tianjing has obtained some puppets left behind by ancient monks!" Ye Changsheng said with a flash in his eyes.
"Well, I thought of this as well. I do have quite a few soul stones in my hand, but the Jindan stage puppet is useless, so I didn't exchange it!"
"However, I see that your junior brother Han seems to be very interested in this thing!" Yuan Yao said.
Ye Changsheng smiled when he heard this and said, "Junior Brother Han went to the dark place with me at the beginning. He also has some soul stones, although not as many as I do!"
"I think the puppet refining method in Master Tianjing's hands should have been replaced by Han Li!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He did remember the most advanced type of puppet in the puppet refining method, whose full-strength attack was equivalent to the attack of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Although he had never learned how to make puppets before, Ye Changsheng was still very interested in puppets of this level.
If I could get one and copy a bunch of them, the scene would be shocking just thinking about it.
"It's good that Han Li got it. If I bought it directly from Master Tianjing, I would have to spend a lot of time studying puppetry!"
"Han Li is extremely proficient in puppetry. When he refines a top-level puppet, I can exchange one from him!"
"Anyway, I have a lot of Geng Jing in my hands, so I'm not afraid that he won't be tempted!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
"Young Master, there is one more thing!" Yuan Yao said when she saw Ye Changsheng looking thoughtful.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Ye Changsheng asked.
Yuan Yao said softly: "After I came out of Master Tianjing's Jinglong Pavilion, I met a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul named Nanlong Hou!"
"Marquis Nanlong?" Ye Changsheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this and he immediately thought of something.
"This person is a cultivator at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He seems to be very powerful. He stopped me and said that he had something great to share with me!"
"Then, this person gave me a jade slip with a location recorded on it. He told me to meet there after the auction!" Yuan Yao said.
Ye Changsheng looked at her, and suddenly chuckled and said, "Yao'er, you have been wearing the jewelry made of soul-nourishing wood for many years, and you have practiced the secret method of Shura Hades Gong. Now your consciousness has reached the point where you can transform into a human form!"
"No wonder Marquis Nanlong invited you!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile.
"What do you mean, sir?" Yuan Yao was stunned when she heard the words, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes when she looked at Ye Changsheng.
It sounded as if Ye Changsheng knew why Nanlong Hou invited her.
Her spiritual consciousness had indeed reached the point where it could transform into a human form.
The spiritual consciousness transforms into a physical form, which is generally a method that only cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul can master.
However, after Yuan Yao practiced some secret techniques in the Shura Hades Art, his spiritual awareness has now reached a level comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
"I know what Nanlong Hou is planning. You should accept his invitation!" Ye Changsheng said with a mysterious smile on his face.
When Yuan Yao heard this, curiosity flashed in her beautiful eyes. She smiled and said, "Then Yao'er will go to the appointment with Nanlong Hou after the auction is over!"
"Well, go ahead and don't worry!" Ye Changsheng nodded and said.
Ye Changsheng attached great importance to the matter of Nanlong Hou taking Cangkun's treasure, and he must keep an eye on it.
But he also knew that with this man's character, it would be absolutely impossible for him to invite someone like him who was comparable to a great monk to join.
Otherwise, wouldn't Ye Changsheng be the one taking the lead in obtaining the treasure?
I'm afraid that Marquis Nanlong would not be able to accept such a thing.
Now, it was just right for him to invite Yuan Yao. Ye Changsheng could follow secretly through Yuan Yao to ensure that the treasure hunt went smoothly.
After all, the matter of Cangkun's treasure is related to a series of major events that will follow.
The Demon Valley, the Lingmiao Garden, the boundless sea of demonic energy vortex, the seven spiritual islands, the Kunwu Mountain, etc.
These things cannot be lost. Ye Changsheng is still counting on the ancient demon to find the vortex of demonic energy and make the seven spiritual islands appear in the world.
At the same time, he also hoped to follow Han Li into the Lingmiao Garden in the Demon Valley!
Once a problem occurs in this link, subsequent matters may not be able to be carried out, and in that case, Ye Changsheng’s interests will suffer great losses.
After giving Yuan Yao some serious instructions, Ye Changsheng left the attic and went to the place where the auction was held.
He put some of his things here and planned to auction them off.
For example, some materials obtained from the ninth-level monster Feng Xi could be auctioned at a very high price in the Chaos Star Sea, not to mention in Tiannan.
In the original novel, Han Li was able to use the shell of an eighth-level turtle monster to exchange for Geng essence worth a million spirit stones from Master Zhiyang.
Not to mention the materials for his ninth-level monsters.
Anyway, these Tiannan high-level officials basically know that he has been to other immortal cultivation worlds before, so he doesn't have to be afraid of anything when he takes out these monster materials.
Ye Changsheng handed the materials of the ninth-level monster to the auction house, and then took out a monster pill of an eighth-level monster and a fist-sized piece of Geng essence.
The demon core of the eighth-level demon beast is naturally the blood-veined shark. It is no problem to sell this item for a million spirit stones at an auction in Tiannan.
And that fist-sized piece of Geng Essence is even more precious, and it is no problem to sell it for two million spirit stones.
This piece of Geng essence was obtained by Ye Changsheng from Man Huzi's collection. In addition to this piece, he also had a piece of Geng essence the size of a human head which he obtained from the Sea King ruins.
After placing these three items in the auction house, Ye Changsheng turned and left under the awe-filled gazes of those people in the auction house.
The people at the auction house looked at the three items Ye Changsheng took out with trembling hands.
Each of these can be promoted as the finale of the auction. Perhaps those great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage will be tempted by these things.
Especially that piece of Geng Jing, which is almost worth all the sword-cultivating sects spending their entire fortunes to fight for.
Being able to take out so many things in one go, the people at the auction house could only sigh that this was worthy of Ye Changsheng's work.
Only people like them who are comparable to great monks can take out so many precious things in one go.
However, Fellow Daoist Ye, although he is young, has a wealth comparable to those great monks who own entire sects and have lived for nearly a thousand years.
This is truly shocking. It seems that the rumor in Tiannan that he inherited the legacy of ancient monks is not without reason.
These people in the auction house thought so in their hearts.
They immediately publicized the three things that Ye Changsheng had taken out, making sure that every Nascent Soul cultivator who came to Tiantian City knew that such amazing things had appeared here.
Han Li, who was meditating in his attic, was extremely shocked when he received the notice from his senior brother Lu Luo.
Gengjing is exactly what he needs right now.
Before that, he spent a few soul stones to exchange for some information about Geng Jing from Master Tianjing.
He learned that at this auction, someone would sell a piece of Geng Jing the size of a walnut.
After Han Li got the specific information of the person who sold Geng Jing from Master Tianjing, he immediately went to visit that person overnight, intending to buy it from him.
But unfortunately, he couldn't meet the conditions proposed by that person, so he had to give up.
When Han Li thought that he would gain nothing from this auction, he heard the news about Geng Jing from his senior brother again.
However, after listening to Lu Luo's detailed description, Han Li's heart, which had warmed up, immediately turned cold.
Fist-sized Geng sperm!
He wasn't even sure he could get the walnut-sized piece of Gengjing at the auction, let alone the fist-sized piece.
Needless to say, those sword cultivators can sell this piece of Geng Jing at a sky-high price!
His financial resources could not be compared with those of the big sects. The total amount of spirit stones Han Li had was only a few hundred thousand, and he could not even compete for a piece of Geng Jing.
"Brother Han, is it true that you are in urgent need of Geng Jing?" Lu Luo asked, observing his expression.
Han Li pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "To be honest, Senior Brother, I'm in urgent need of a large amount of Geng Jing, the more the better!"
"Oh, so that's the case. In that case, why don't you ask for help from our sect, Junior Brother Han? After all, Junior Brother Han is now an elder of our Luoyun Sect. Sometimes, there is no need to be so polite!" Lu Luo said with a smile.
Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he hesitated and said, "If I want to buy Geng Jing, I need a lot of spirit stones. I just joined the sect, and I'm not going to squander the sect's wealth like this..."
Hearing this, Lu Luo waved his hand, interrupting what Han Li was about to say, and said generously:
"Brother Han, what are you talking about? To be frank, isn't the wealth of our sect just you, me, and Brother Cheng? It belongs to the three of us, right?"
"Brother Han, please feel free to use them. As long as you compensate the sect according to the corresponding value later, or repay these spirit stones in the future, that's fine!" Lu Luo said.
"In fact, I brought 500,000 spirit stones with me this time. I originally planned to use these spirit stones to purchase some useful things for the sect, but since Junior Brother Han is in urgent need of Geng Jing, I will give these spirit stones to you first!"
As he spoke, Lu Luo took out a storage bag, which contained five thousand mid-level spirit stones.
Han Li looked at the storage bag, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it. He felt a little warm in his heart and said with some emotion:
"Brother Lu, rest assured. I will find a way to repay the sect for these spirit stones in the future!"
Hearing this, Lu Luo smiled and said, "Brother Han, there is no need to be so anxious. In fact, for us, as long as we do not interfere with the normal operation of the sect, we can withdraw as many spirit stones as we want!"
When Han Li heard this, he felt a little emotional for a moment. This was the first time he felt the convenience of the sect.
However, he had decided in his heart that he would have to repay these spirit stones in the future.
Even if it is not returned in the form of spirit stones, it must be returned in other ways, such as spiritual medicine, pills, etc.
After walking out of Han Li's attic, a hint of regret appeared in Lu Luo's eyes.
In fact, he also had a lot of things to buy when he came to Tiantian City this time, but after giving the 500,000 spirit stones to Han Li, he no longer had the financial resources to buy them.
But there was no other way, he had to do this. He had to make the Luoyun Sect demonstrate enough value in order to win over Han Li.
Otherwise, Lu Luo was really worried that the old ghost Linghu would find Han Li and persuade him to return to Huangfeng Valley with sweet words.
Then their Luoyun Sect would suffer a huge loss.
Compared with the presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator, 500,000 spirit stones are nothing.
After showing enough sincerity today, Han Li should be moved.
With this plan in mind, Lu Luo returned to his attic.
After a few days, the largest trade fair in Tiannan was finally held.
