Chapter 846 Yaochi Taobao

Along the way, Zhang Jun could often see monks from all walks of life who came to attend the Genius Conference wandering around Yaochi in small groups, and occasionally he could hear the low-pitched conversations of these people.

"The Yaochi is vast and boundless, and it had a supreme status in ancient times. Although it has declined, the little things left behind are enough to make the world's cultivators fight for their scalps. For countless years, countless people have dug up treasures here, so the Yaochi is also known as 'Treasure Land'. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling discovered a scroll of heavenly books in Yaochi and founded Longhu Mountain."

"Yaochi was known as 'Ten steps to find a treasure', but after so many years, almost all the things that can be dug out have been dug up. We are just here to try our luck, so don't have too much hope."

Among them, a young disciple asked the elders around him: "Uncle Master, since Little Kunlun has occupied Yaochi, why do you allow other forces to come and dig for treasures?"

His uncle smiled slightly and said: "Yaochi is like a treasure. Which force doesn't want to come here to hunt for treasures? Although Little Kunlun is strong, they are not willing to compete with the world's cultivators, so they only account for one-tenth of it. Other places are open areas, and monks from other families can come and go at will. People from Little Kunlun will not interfere and have no right to interfere. "

Walking in the Yaochi, everyone's feet are covered with dry sand, just like walking in the desert. Occasionally, the wind blows, and it is also a hot and humid wind that makes people feel uncomfortable all over. Occasionally, wherever you walk, there will be puddles of various sizes. The big ones are as big as small lakes, and the small ones can be flattened by one foot.

After walking like this for more than an hour, Zhang Jun secretly looked into the ground with Buddha's eyes. He did find some things, but they were not worthy of his attention. Moreover, this place was too close to Little Kunlun, so it was not exposed. After walking for so long, Zongyuan felt impatient and said, "Dad, what's so interesting about this shabby place? Let's go back."

Hei Hachilang knocked him: "What do you know, little brat? There are treasures everywhere in the Yaochi, and you will get something if you dig around."

Zong Yuan rolled his eyes at Hei Ba Lang and said, "Uncle Hei Ba Lang, have you ever found treasure here before?"

Heihachiro stiffened, and then said viciously: "You little bastard, how many times have I told you not to call me Uncle Heihachi! Do I look like 'Heihachi'?"

Zongyuan nodded immediately: "Okay, Uncle Hei."

Hei Hachiro immediately gave Zong Yuan another blow, but the latter just grinned strangely.

After walking for another ten minutes, there were no other people out to search for treasures in all directions. Within a hundred miles, there was only Zhang Jun and his group. Zhang Jun has also opened his Buddha eyes and searched the ground to the best of his ability, hoping to find things left over from ancient times.

While searching, Heibalang explained to Qinglian and Zongyuan the situation in the ancient era where Yaochi was located.

The Archaic Era is the general name for the period before the Mythological Age. If this period is accurately divided, it can be divided into three major periods: Hades, Proterozoics, and Archaic. Because the first two periods are so long ago that even unintelligent humans were born at that time, and there is no history to test, they are rarely mentioned, and are generally referred to as the era before the mythical age under the name of ancient times.

The specific age of the ancient era is at least tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years ago. The early days of the Archaic Era are even more distant, perhaps millions of years ago. According to the inference of some great practitioners who are proficient in historical research, the ancient times should be a very long period. For most of that time, the ancient ancestors lived a life of eating raw materials and drinking blood, fighting against the sky, the earth, and wild beasts. During the war, life was extremely difficult, and human life span was also very short, far less than that of people today.

But at the end of the ancient times, a large number of masters suddenly emerged among the ancestors, and they created an extremely glorious civilization of cultivation. Among the increasingly powerful human beings, a group of powerful beings were born that shocked the past and the present and arrogated the world. From today's perspective, such people are at least Daluo-level in strength. These people led mankind into the age of mythology proudly.

In the age of mythology, human beings had a long lifespan. According to ancient books, people at that time were born strong and could compete with tigers and wolves with bare hands. Their lifespans generally exceeded a hundred years. It was a very glorious era that even surpassed today's. The Age of Mythology lasted for a long time and countless powerful monks were born. Some people speculate that today's ancient wilderness should be leftover from the mythical era. The basis is that there are a large number of ruins from the mythical era in the wilderness.

The age of mythology ended very suddenly, and no one yet knows what caused the end of this glorious era. After the Age of Mythology, the Age of Dynasties came. Because this era was close to the Age of Mythology, it was sufficiently inherited. Therefore, many great figures still appeared at that time, such as Sakyamuni, Laozi, the Abraham family, Confucius and other sages and great men. They all appeared in that era.

In the late dynasty, the major inheritances of human society died out in large numbers, and only a few parts were passed down. After the dynasty era ends, mankind will enter the Age of Ending Dharma. In the Age of Dharma Ending, human science and technology has achieved rapid development. Ordinary people can go to the sky or the sea, or even leave the earth, land on the moon, and explore Mars.

"Aren't we so unlucky that we were born in the Age of Ending Dharma?" After hearing Heibalang's words, Zongyuan sighed with emotion, "It's so pitiful."

"That's not necessarily the case. The Age of Ending Dharma should be over soon." Heihachiro said, "Otherwise, how could a monster like you appear, nor would a pure body like Qinglian appear? Some people predicted that a cultivation civilization should appear next. The golden age of explosive development may be comparable to the mythical age.”

Zong Yuan's eyes flashed: "Golden Age? Interesting, otherwise a genius like me would be too lonely."

When these words came out, everyone rolled their eyes. At this moment, Zhang Jun suddenly stopped, and everyone stopped, knowing that they must have discovered something.

Zhang Jun did find something. Just 500 steps ahead, about 300 meters from the ground, there were more than a dozen jade slips scattered in the mud. Jade slips are items used by cultivators to record text information or divine thoughts. They appeared here, and they are likely to belong to the Yaochi era. He thought about it, led everyone to the ground just above the jade slips, and said to Hei Balang: "Start digging."

Hei Balang stared: "Why me?"

Zhang Jun: "I have to observe the situation below all the time. I can't work. Do you let the children work?"

Hei Balang refuted without words, secretly called out bad luck in his heart, and began to dig the ground. The upper layer of the ground is sand, the lower layer is soil, and the lower layer is mud. It is quite laborious to dig. Fortunately, Hei Balang was at the peak of the half-step supernatural power. He could control his true power very finely. He could often dig a hole several meters deep with one palm strike.

From this, we can see the horror of the half-step supernatural power. Hei Balang dug through the 300-meter deep hole in just half an hour and quickly found all the jade slips.

A figure flashed at the entrance of the cave, and Hei Balang jumped out with a bunch of jade slips in his arms, saying, "I contributed the most, so I'll give you half of the jade slips."

Zhang Jun ignored him, but took a jade slip and flipped through it, smiling and saying, "This jade slip records the ancient pill recipe. You don't know how to make pills, so it's useless to take it. Leave it to me."

Hei Balang shouted that it was a pity, and he wished it was some peerless skill.

Perhaps Zhang Jun was unlucky. In the next hour or so, there was no major discovery. Of course, he did find something, but those things were buried hundreds or thousands of meters deep, and their value was limited, so it was not worth his effort. But at this time, he unexpectedly saw that a market appeared not far ahead.

Hei Balang also saw the market in the distance, and he immediately smiled and said, "I haven't been here to shop for treasures for a long time. The last time it was the old man who brought me here, he found an ancient jade talisman that time and made a lot of money."

Zhang Jun also saw clearly that most of the things sold in this market were dug up in Yaochi. He couldn't help shaking his head: "There are actually people who are professional in this business!"

Hei Balang said, "There are many people engaged in this business. This market has existed for hundreds of years, and it is far less prosperous than it was in the past, because the things in Yaochi have been dug up almost."

As the group talked, they entered the market. There were some stalls randomly placed on the ground, and all kinds of strange things were laid on the stalls. Some were broken tiles, some were broken bricks, or a jar, a wine pot. There was nothing to find along the way, and Zhang Jun felt quite bored. He planned to stroll around this market to see if he could find a bargain.

Zong Yuan took Qinglian to the other side, and Hei Balang went alone.

Zhang Jun walked along the path in the market alone, slowly moving forward and looking around. After walking through most of the market, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Not only did he not find any bargains, he didn't even encounter a decent treasure. What made him even more speechless was that the prices of things here were extremely high, and they could only be exchanged for elixirs.

"It seems that there are no good things in Yaochi." He shook his head and decided to return.

At this moment, Qinglian hurried over and whispered, "Master, Brother Zongyuan is arguing with someone!"

Zhang Jun was shocked. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. Zongyuan must not offend powerful people. He pulled Qinglian and rushed to the scene as quickly as possible. When he arrived, he saw Zongyuan standing in front of a stall, arguing with the stall owner. The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing an old Zhongshan suit, not tall, and very dark skin. He held a black jade pendant with strange runes in his hand, and said angrily: "Such a good jade pendant, you only gave ten yuan, why don't you go and rob it?"

Zhang Jun was speechless when he heard the three words "ten yuan", and he glared at Zong Yuan fiercely. Zong Yuan curled his lips and said: "Dad, look at this jade pendant, it's just made of a piece of stone, and it can only be sold for five yuan outside."

"What? Five yuan? If you give five high-quality elixirs, it's almost the same!" The stall owner was really angry and jumped up and shouted.

Zhang Jun used the Buddha's eyes to see through, and immediately felt the black air rolling in the jade pendant, and vaguely a corner of a vast and gloomy world was revealed, but it disappeared in an instant. He was startled, and quickly suppressed his emotions, saying calmly: "Friend, children are ignorant, please don't mind. But since he likes it, you can sell it at a lower price and we will buy it."

In the stall owner's opinion, Zhang Jun probably didn't want to cause trouble, so he wanted to buy the jade pendant. He rolled his eyes and said: "I originally wanted five high-grade elixirs, but since you are so honest, I will buy ten medium-grade elixirs."

Zhang Jun smiled: "It's a bit expensive. I think this way, ten low-grade elixirs, if you are willing, we will trade immediately."

The stall owner thought that this jade pendant had been studied countless times, and there was really nothing strange about it. It was just carved from a piece of black stone. That's it, ten low-grade elixirs are not a small amount, so just sell it to him! So he said with a painful face: "Okay, low-grade is low-grade, you can take the things."

When the black jade pendant was in his hand, Zhang Jun vaguely remembered the scene of buying the stone beads. He bought the Buddha's eye relic with a few dollars. "This jade pendant is extraordinary. I feel like there is a world inside it!" he said to himself.
