Chapter 427 Three Treasures (Congratulations to the Silver Alliance)

Fang Xi carefully looked at the old man's stall and found that most of it contained some strange bamboo tubes and gold and jade boxes.

There was a sound similar to the chirping of insects, faintly coming from the bamboo tube.

Gu cultivator is different from insect cultivator. Insect cultivator can only be regarded as a small branch of the art of controlling beasts. It is good at cultivating and driving various spiritual insects.

But Gu cultivators use secret methods to refine various kinds of 'Gu', which are said to have all kinds of incredible functions.

According to Fang Xi's understanding, insect cultivators are considered masters of breeding, while Gu cultivators are at the level of biochemical transformation.

"I'm not busy... first tell me what's wrong with your stall?"

Fang Xi became interested and started chatting with the old Gu cultivator.

"The types of these Gu insects are ever-changing according to different secret methods... but they can generally be divided into four categories according to their grades - Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang!"

The old Gu cultivator smiled, showing his yellowed teeth, and talked eloquently: "Most of the Gu cultivators in the Qi refining stage can only refine 'yellow' level Gu insects, and they can also replace the functions of some small spells, such as ' Wind-Controlling Gu', after being refined, can control the wind, and its casting speed is even faster than that of pinching and reciting incantations... Those who can sacrifice and refine 'Xuan' level spiritual Gu are already elites in Gu cultivation. Level Gu insect? I have only seen it once... And the 'Heaven' level Gu insect is probably even rarer than the Nascent Soul monster. It is said that its power is comparable to that of the Nascent Soul monk."

"I see……"

Fang Xi rummaged through the stalls for a while, but was not interested in those low-level 'sleep poison' and 'golden toad poison'.

Instead, he picked up a "Gu Cultivation Synopsis" written on bamboo slips, flipped through it, and started reading it with great interest.

This compendium does not contain the secret skills of Gu cultivators or any method of refining Gu insects, but it records the experiences of a certain Gu cultivator, which opened his eyes.

"The way to cultivate Gu is to eat the weak and the strong... hide different insects in the magic altar and cauldron, use secret methods to sacrifice them, and encourage them to eat each other. The winner in the end is the 'Gu'!"

"There are thousands of species of Gu, but the strongest is the 'Golden Silkworm Gu'!"

"If this Gu is cultivated to the 'Earth' level, it can be refined into Hundred Poison Gu, and then used as the raw material for Gu cultivation magic weapons. Whether it is the 'Hundred Poison Divine Banner' or the 'Golden Silkworm Sword'... they all have wonderful uses. It should be regarded as a top-level magic weapon."

"It is rumored that the 'Heaven' level Gu insect has supreme magical powers. If it has been refined into a natal Gu insect and has a connected mind, it can even be used as a carrier for monks to practice the secret technique of the second Nascent Soul..."

Fang Xi was very satisfied with what she read. She threw down a few middle-grade spiritual stones, bought the book, and continued shopping.

'Who said cultivators can't pick up the missing pieces...'

'Now that I am in the Acropolis, there are leaks everywhere... I can just buy a few elixirs and spiritual weapons... I will at least double the profits when I go back to the Southern Wilderness...'

‘But is the profit as high as the Aoba Chamber of Commerce’s treasury? Not at all...'

After arriving at Yuanying, Fang Xi ignored this little leakage, which was quite a pity.

His wish to pick up leaks when he was still practicing Qi will probably never come true.

"Huh?"

At this time, he came to a stall selling jade slip techniques and looked at the rolls of animal skins and fragments in the corner, a little surprised.

Fang Xi picked up a roll of animal skin and saw a very strange symbol written on it in dark green handwriting.

This kind of symbol should be a text symbol, and he has not seen it in any ancient book in the world of immortality.

But vaguely, it is quite similar to the void runes he comprehended, and may be somewhat related.

"Fellow Taoist also took a fancy to this demonic text?"

The person setting up the stall was a white-robed alchemy monk, who was holding an ancient book and smiled upon seeing this.

"Yao Wen?"

Fang Xi looked at the dark green words on the animal skin: "These are actually demonic words?!"

"That's right... I like to read and delve into ancient literature. I am also quite interested in this kind of demon literature, but it is difficult to get started..."

The white-clothed pill-forming monk said: "Because of this, only high-level demon cultivators can carry this kind of demon inscriptions, and after fierce battles, most of the trophies were damaged... What's more important is that most of the demon clan's secret techniques cannot be used by us humans. , just like the demon clan cannot learn many human clan's skills and secret techniques... Therefore, no monks are interested in studying it. Perhaps, only those Yuanying old monsters have such a long time and energy to decipher the demons one by one. Let’s write…”

Fang Xi took a closer look and discovered that many of the demonic texts he sold were indeed incomplete.

Some of them still appear directly on the metal fragments, and I don’t know what kind of tripod weapons or fragments of defensive magic weapons they are...

In the end, he took out a few high-grade spiritual stones and bought all the demonic texts on the stall.

"This fellow Taoist is really a fellow Taoist. I am Zeng Wanshu. These demon texts can be sold at half price. As long as my fellow Taoist can decipher something in the future, I will be grateful if you can let me know."

Zeng Wanshu bowed his head to the ground and said sincerely.

Judging from the way he can't let go of the book, he must be a book lover.

"Full price is enough... I always like to travel around the world, but I don't want to owe you any favors..."

Fang Xi laughed, insisted on paying the full price, took the animal skin and the fragment of the golden tripod with the demonic inscriptions on it, and left in style.

Zeng Wanshu looked at Fang Xi's leaving figure, but he touched his chin thoughtfully, and a shrewd look flashed across his face: 'Hehe... I didn't expect that someone really wanted this garbage, and actually sold it. Five high-grade spiritual stones, a lot of money... Pretending to be a book lover can indeed gain the favor of many comrades. ’

He picked up the scroll in his hand and pretended to read it. Then he took out a few volumes of demonic books from his storage bag and threw them in the corner of the stall...

…

"Battle Merit List!"

Fang Xi, who casually browsed the street stalls, came to the battle merit list.

The first thing I saw was the infant-forming spiritual item that ranked first on the exchange list - the 'Infant Transformation Pill'!

This elixir is imitated from the ancient 'Ning Ying Dan'. Due to the lack of several key elements of the elixir of heaven and earth, its efficacy is only 20 to 30% of the original version.

Even so, in the Western Desert Immortal Cultivation World, it takes hundreds of years to scrape together a batch of materials with the combined power of the eight Nascent Soul Sects.

Fang Xi looked at the required battle achievements and curled her lips: "I feel like I have to kill a few demon cultivators in disguise to be enough. It's really a trap..."

He looked down and immediately saw several good rewards.

After searching again, I saw what I wanted in a more conspicuous place:

"The Demon-Slaying Sword, the Ten Thousand Demon Banners, and the Demon-Illuminating Mirror...these three magic weapons are collectively called the 'Three Demon-Slaying Treasures'. The refining method of imitation magic weapons and spiritual weapons is quite cheap, even if the refining method of the authentic ones can kill several heads." The combat exploits of a third-level monster are barely enough."

Fang Xi glanced at the battle merit list a few more times, then came to a registration desk.

"This senior, is he going to take on a mission?"

The person in charge of registration was a foundation-building monk who always held a demon mirror in his hand. When he saw Fang Xi coming, his demeanor suddenly became more respectful.

"Well, let's go through the formalities. I want to go out of the city to hunt monsters."

Fang Xi threw out her yellow token.

Most casual cultivators don't like to go up to the city wall and be restrained. Even if their combat achievements are higher, most of them choose to go out to the city to kill monsters alone or form a small team.

"Junior understands... Dare I ask my senior's surname?"

"Mu Zhenren!"

The foundation builder quickly registered: "Senior's token permissions have been updated. You can use a teleportation array to go back and forth to the monster area. Please keep this shadow stone as a certificate of military merit... If it is lost or damaged, the monster will be left behind. The key materials can also serve as vouchers.”

Fang Xi nodded to express understanding, and then went to the other half of the city.

As soon as he entered, he saw groups of law enforcement teams composed of high-ranking monks flying through the sky.

If you practice the art of having spiritual eyes, you can even see the various magical auras flashing on top of the city not far away.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, as if it had entered a war zone!

At this time, a group of monks also passed by and glanced at Fang Xi.

But the yellow token around his waist gave off a yellow glow, seeming to confirm his identity.

The group of monks was led by an arrogant female monk. She nodded slightly and showed no intention of talking, so they just passed by.

Fang Xi followed the map and soon came to a heavily guarded palace.

A vague divine consciousness swept over him in an instant.

'There is an old monster named Nascent Soul sitting in charge, but it's only in the early stages...'

He pretended to know nothing and walked into the hall.

Boom!

One after another, the thunder pillars towered up from the sky, as if supporting the entire palace.

Under the lightning, there are small teleportation arrays.

"Short-distance teleportation array!"

Fang Xi's eyes lit up slightly. He could arrange this formation now, but he wanted to take a good look at the craftsmanship of his colleagues in the West Desert.

"This fellow Taoist is also planning to go out of the city to hunt monsters?"

A burly man in the late stage of pill formation immediately stepped forward and issued an invitation: "I am You Tianhao, how about forming a team?"

"Sorry, I like to be alone."

Fang Xi flatly refused, no matter how ugly the man's face was, he came to a teleportation array, showed his token, and stood up.

"This teleportation is random. Fellow Taoists will land anywhere in an area. We have already found out clearly that there are fewer monsters there."

"I wish fellow Taoists a great victory!"

The monk in charge of the teleportation solemnly congratulated and fired a magic formula.

Silver light flashes.

The world changes immediately!

"The discomfort of this short-distance teleportation array is much less than that of the ancient teleportation array."

Fang Xi looked at the brilliance of the formation in the sky and the grassland on the ground, thinking to herself.

At this moment, a jackal-like third-level monster was passing by not far away. It was as big as a mountain and was wrapped in flames.

When he saw Fang Xi, he immediately rushed over!

‘Does this count as the monster beast appearing less frequently? ’

Fang Xi was speechless and opened her mouth to spit out a stream of dark flames.

When the flaming jackal first saw that Fang Xi's mana was not enough to form a pill, he roared wildly and spat out a stream of red flames from his mouth.

But as soon as the dark flames came out, the red flames were instantly burned by the black flames.

Then... he followed the connection between the flames and landed on the flaming jackal.

Stab!

Black flames instantly swept through the monster's body, turning it into a ball of ashes before it could even cry out!
