Chapter 361: The God-Calming Pagoda and the Ningyan Fruit

For the next few days, Zhong Xiu became extremely busy. Every day when it was dawn, she hurried out and did not return home until dark.

Shi Mu also wanted to help, but Zhong Xiu asked Shi Mu to take a good rest on the grounds that she could handle some chores in the early stage of the auction preparation.

Shi Mu did not insist on this. After all, he is not currently a member of the Chamber of Commerce. If he takes action on many things, although the Chamber of Commerce will not say anything here, it may bring some unnecessary troubles to Zhong Xiu.

In this way, apart from the daily evening and early morning cultivation, Shi Mu rarely had a relatively leisure time.

Although on the surface he couldn't help Zhong Xiu for the time being, Shi Mu naturally wouldn't be willing to be idle, and after a little thought in his heart, he got up and went out.

West of Cangxu City, Yuquan Street.

This is the most prosperous street in the west of the city, as famous as Yingxian Street in the east of the city.

At a glance, the street is full of traffic, and the shops on both sides are full of people. Restaurants, shops, medicine shops, teahouses, blacksmith shops are all available, and the end is very lively.

Moreover, in the attire of passers-by on the road, it can be seen that many of them are foreign merchants. In this regard, they are far better than Yingxian Street in the east of the city. From this, it can be seen that this Yuquan Street is already well-known.

It can be said that whether it is Yingxian Street in the east of the city or Yuquan Street in the west of the city, they are the most lively and prosperous places in Cangxu City, but if you compare them, you will see the difference.

Whether it is the scale, the number of shops, pedestrians, or the decoration of the shops, or even the foreign merchants coming and going here, Yuquan Street is slightly better.

Shi Mu took a rough look around and found Elder Zhao's auction site - Yuquan Pavilion, a large three-story building with flying eaves, bucket arches and carved jade railings.

Like Yingxian Pavilion, Yuquan Pavilion is also located in the most eye-catching position on the entire Yuquan Street. In this regard, Shi Mu still admires the foresight of Tianwu Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, there are many barbarian craftsmen busy around the building, the gate is closed, and there are guards in yellow clothes standing at the door. Obviously, strangers will not be allowed in and out, but this is not a problem for Shi Mu at all, even if he does not have himself With double golden pupils, isn't Cai'er still there?

So, this person and bird came to the second floor of a tea house more than a hundred feet away from Yuquan Pavilion, found a window seat where you could see the whole picture of Yuquan Pavilion, and observed carefully.

Judging from the degree of newness and oldness of the building, Yuquan Pavilion is obviously newer than Yingxian Pavilion. It also has three upper and lower floors, but the scale is much larger. It can be seen that the auction venue inside will also be larger than Yingxian Pavilion.

This building was already majestic, but now that it has been prepared by these craftsmen, it looks even more resplendent.

Not only was a brand-new gold-lettered signboard hung in a conspicuous position on the third floor, but the venue was also carefully arranged. It seems that for this auction, Elder Zhao has put a lot of effort into it.

After observing for a while, Shi Mu left the teahouse and came to Huarong Street adjacent to Yuquan Street.

Although it is just across the street, the popularity here is obviously not as good as Yuquan Street.

Shi Mu looked around while walking, and after a while, he stopped in front of a spiritual material shop called Tianyuanzhai.

It wasn't the first time he came to this place, he had visited it last time when he purchased goods, but the time was short, he hadn't looked at all the things here one by one.

Just as Shi Mu stepped into the store, a young man with a pleasant smile emerged from some corner and warmly greeted him.

Regardless of the young man's young age, Shi Mu knows very well that this person is Tian Hao'an, the shopkeeper here.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, but the shop has been looking forward to you!" Tian Hao'an said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Tian, ​​you're being polite. I wonder if your shop has any good stuff recently?" Shi Mu said.

"Mu Daoyou came in and took a look. There are a lot of things that I have specially reserved for you." Tian Hao'an said, and led Shi Mu into the shop.

Shi Mu nodded, and didn't say much. Back then, the hard-to-find ink stones could only be purchased in large quantities thanks to the shopkeeper's supply. That's why he had a deep impression on this place, so he was the first to think of it. here.

Follow Tian Hao'an through the main hall and into a back room.

"This is a small shop specially used to receive distinguished guests like Fellow Daoist Mu, please take a look first." Tian Hao'an said, and then greeted the servant for a pot of tea.

Although Shi Mu paid great attention to it last time, since he could not find ink stones elsewhere, he still purchased a lot here, and its purchasing power was an eye-opener for the shopkeeper.

Tian Hao'an has been in the shopping mall for many years, so he naturally doesn't want to let go of such a patron.

Although the place is not big, it looks like there are a lot of high-quality goods, but Shi Mu turned around and found nothing particularly precious, but he found a few special things.

A wood-type spiritual herb called Guikurui is said to be used not only to refine elixir, but also to add it to the phantom formation to enhance the power of the phantom formation.

The so-called ghost cry is because it emits a sound similar to the scream of a ghost. This sound can make people hallucinate. If it is a phantom formation made by a thousand-year-old ghost cry grass, even the strong at the ground level will be deeply trapped in it. ,Inextricable.

In addition, there are three Ningyan Fruits, which are said to come from the far west of the Xihe Continent. After being eaten, it can permanently maintain a person's face as it is now.

As martial artists and warlocks improve their cultivation base, their lifespan will also increase significantly, and the speed of aging will also slow down, but it is not that they will not age, but generally no one will care about it.

But if it is true as it says, it can maintain its current appearance forever, which would be a special thing.

Shi Mu thought so, and then looked at other shelves.

At this moment, in a corner of the shelf, a shimmering thing caught his attention.

The shape of this object is a small and exquisite white jade pagoda. It is small in size and exquisite in workmanship. It is similar to the pavilion of the human race. The first floor is the widest, and gradually decreases as it goes up. The eaves of the towers on each floor closely overlap.

Circles of complex and difficult-to-name runes are engraved on the surface of the jade pagoda, exuding a layer of glimmering light, which makes people feel a little bit of peace of mind at a glance.

"You really have good eyesight, Fellow Daoist Mu!" Tian Hao'an saw that Shi Mu was looking at the jade pagoda carefully, and said from the side.

"Treasurer Tian, ​​what is this..." Shi Mu asked, having never seen such a jade pagoda.

"This thing is called the Dingshen Pagoda." Tian Hao'an immediately introduced Shi Mu when he saw Shi Mu's interest.

"The God-Calming Pagoda? What is the function of this thing?" Shi Mu asked.

"This thing is amazing! It is said that this tower can concentrate one's mind and solidify one's soul, so that people can have no other distractions during cultivation, but... how to use it, I really don't know much about it." Tian Hao'an said.

Shi Mu didn't know Tian Hao'an's hesitant appearance, nor did he know whether what he said was true or not, but after some questioning, he found out that this object is actually a spiritual weapon, but it needs to be activated not only on the ground level , and it seems to have no other special effect other than concentrating the mind and solidifying the soul. Due to the high price, there are very few people who care about it.

When Tian Haoan received it, he thought it was a treasure, but he didn't expect that even though it was a spiritual weapon, its effect seemed to be weak, and it needed a ground level to activate it, so this thing became weak, and it was impossible to sell it.

Originally, Tian Hao'an saw Shi Mu was interested and wanted to sell it, but Shi Mu was not a person to be fooled, so he couldn't stand him asking, so he had to miss the bottom line.

"However, Fellow Daoist Mu, although this object has many restrictions, it is a spiritual weapon after all. According to my experience in running Tianyuanzhai for so many years, it should have some unknown functions..." Tian Haoan looked at Shi Mu, carefully Said.

How can Shi Mu not know Tian Haoan's thoughts, but he has an inexplicable liking for the God-Calming Pagoda, and besides, there are enough spirit stones at present, so it doesn't matter if you buy them back.

But since it's tasteless, Shi Mu doesn't mind bargaining for more.

After a bit of bargaining, Shi Mu bought the three Ningyan Fruits, a Ghost Crying Pistil, and the God-Calming Pagoda, which cost him a total of less than 30,000 spirit stones.

Although Tian Hao'an sold the Dingshen Pagoda at the cost price, he didn't lose money anyway, and he didn't need to sell the goods anymore, so he was quite happy in his heart.

This transaction is a happy one between the client and the host.

As soon as he left Tianyuanzhai, Cai'er flew over. When Shi Mu left the Yuquan Street teahouse before, this guy flew away on his own, and he called it to get some air.

"You guys can't calm down, why are you running around when you have nothing to do?" Shi Mu said.

"Shitou, you see that you have wronged me. If I didn't come here to find out information for you, who would want to show my face and wander around!" Cai'er was unhappy and yelled.

"Then tell me, what good news did you find out?" Shi Mu couldn't help laughing.

"I don't care about you, aren't you looking for good things, I just found a good place." Cai'er asked back.

"Say it quickly, don't play tricks on me." Shi Mu didn't have the heart to chat with him, so he gave Caier a look.

"Hey, it's on Longdao Street next to the City Lord's Mansion. I found a shop there that looks good. Although it's not as lively as Yuquan Street, it seems that there are many people of good status coming in and out." Cai'er said.

"City Lord's Mansion? Longdao Street?" Shi Mu was a little strange. He had been to that Longdao Street many times, but he didn't see any shops that impressed him, but there was the largest martial arts training ground in the city.

"It's just behind the martial arts training ground. The shop is relatively hidden, and most people can't find it." Cai'er flapped her wings and said.

When Shi Mu heard this, he took Cai'er and walked towards Longdao Street with some doubts.

From here to Longdao Street, you will definitely pass through the City Lord's Mansion.

The streets of Cangxu City are not square, because the whole city is like the wings of an eagle, so the streets are built crookedly, and there are often several turns to walk through a street.

Shi Mu had just turned out of the alley diagonally opposite the City Lord's Mansion, but happened to see two people walking out of the City Lord's Mansion not far away side by side, talking and laughing happily, and the relationship between the words was quite good

When Shi Mu saw the person coming, he was startled.

One of them was Linghu Kuan, the lord of Cangxu City, while the other man was dressed in a moon-white robe, handsome and extraordinary, with long blood-red hair draped over his shoulders.

Who else is it not Liu An? (To be continued.)
