Chapter 1233 Tianxuan Palace
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin controlled his mind without hesitation, took out one-third of the semi-immortal beast's blood essence from the star ring, and put it into a jade bottle.
Xiao Lin took the jade bottle from the woman, and after confirming it, he put it into the star ring, feeling happy.
With this bottle of Xiantian Puhua liquid, once his Qingluan Ice Sword advances to an immortal treasure, it will definitely greatly enhance the power of the flying sword, and it is not impossible to even reach the power of a second-level immortal treasure.
After the woman got the blood essence, she looked at Xiao Lin deeply, then walked into the crowd and disappeared.
After the woman entered the crowd, another man with a hunched body walked to the high platform and took out the items he wanted to exchange...
For cultivators in the Void Refining Realm, ordinary materials and treasures are not taken seriously by them. Only those materials that can be used to refine immortal treasures can attract some people's interest.
Of course, in the world of immortal cultivation, materials are still the majority, supplemented by a small amount of talismans, elixirs, etc.
Xiao Lin was also thinking about whether to exchange some of the materials he needed. He had basically gathered the main materials for refining the Purple Thunder Star Shield, but he was still missing one. If he relied on himself to search like this, he didn't know when he would be able to find it.
The opportunity was rare at the moment, and all the people present were cultivators in the Void Refining Realm. Some good things would definitely not be taken out unless they saw materials that they urgently needed or were extremely precious and rare.
"I have a rare item on me, which is an unknown animal skin. It may be a treasure map of a secret realm somewhere, but I have little luck and have not been able to comprehend the secrets on it, so I took it out and wanted to exchange it for a set of top-grade magic weapons with fire attributes. Of course, I can also exchange it for materials for refining first-level immortal treasures. I wonder if any fellow Taoists want to exchange it?"
The man with a hunched figure took out a brown-gray animal skin. The two sides of the animal skin showed irregular shapes, which was obviously just a fragment of a map.
"It turns out to be just a fragment of a map. In the world of immortal cultivation, this kind of fragment may be a map of some ancient ruins or a treasure map, but if the complete map cannot be collected, it is equal to zero and has little value."
"That's right, wanting to exchange a useless fragment of a map for a set of top-grade magic weapons is wishful thinking."
"Not worth it."
Many people shook their heads, saying that this map was not worth the value the man said.
The man's eyes also showed anxiety, and he said, "What do you know? I got this fragment from the body of a powerful monk in the fusion realm. After the powerful monk was killed, the star ring was taken away, but for some reason, the body was not destroyed. I happened to pass by and got this fragment from his underwear. If it is worthless as you said, how could it be kept close to the body?"
As soon as he said this, there were bursts of exclamations from the surroundings. Many people had never thought that this fragment came from the body of a powerful monk in the fusion realm. If it is true, then this fragment is really not simple.
"Hehe, who knows whether what you said is true or false, maybe it's just a story you made up."
"Nonsense, what I said is absolutely true, even if I swear a heart demon oath, it's okay." As soon as the hunchbacked man said this, the voices of doubt around him disappeared immediately.
Most people also began to believe his words.
After this person took out the incomplete map, Xiao Lin's heart moved. This incomplete map gave him a familiar feeling. After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. He remembered that when he was sorting out the items in the star rings of several refining cultivators killed by him, he also saw a piece of animal skin, which had an irregular shape on only one side.
The color of his animal skin and the one in the hand of the Ju Lu man were exactly the same, which surprised Xiao Lin.
Looking at the shape of the incomplete map, it seems that he got at most one-third, and it was a piece on the side, while the one in the hand of the Ju Lu man was in the middle. As for whether there was another piece or several pieces on the other side, Xiao Lin could not judge.
But the incomplete map in the hand of the Ju Lu man successfully attracted Xiao Lin's attention.
He had also studied the incomplete map in his hand, but found nothing. After the study was fruitless, he threw it into the star ring.
Now that he saw the same incomplete map, Xiao Lin was naturally unwilling to give up.
After the hunched man swore that the animal skin in his hand was obtained from the corpse of a fusion realm cultivator, more cultivators around him became interested in the animal skin.
"How about I, Zhu, exchange this flaming sword for the animal skin with you?"
A man in a brocade robe stepped forward, took out a narrow jade box, opened it gently, and revealed an exquisite foot-long flying sword inside. A fire bird was engraved on the sword body, exuding a red spiritual charm, and the tip of the sword was swallowing and spitting out an inch-long sword light, shrinking and contracting.
Seeing the flying sword magic weapon in the man's hand, his eyes showed a bit of contempt: "You may not have heard clearly, what I want to exchange is a set of top-grade magic weapons, not just one."
"Hehe, a mere fragment of a map whose use is unknown actually wants to be exchanged for a set of top-grade magic weapons. You are really brave to ask for such a high price." The man surnamed Zhu sneered, closed the jade box, and walked into the crowd with a wave of his sleeves.
"Your fragment of a map, the use of which is unknown, can be exchanged for a top-grade magic weapon, which is already good. Why are you so persistent?" Someone in the crowd persuaded.
"That's not the case. If it is really a treasure map, or a map of an ancient relic, then if the whole map is collected, the harvest is far more than a mere top-grade magic weapon can compare." Another voice stood on the side of the hunchbacked man.
"Ancient ruins map? Hehe, the probability of such a thing happening is probably too small to be imagined, otherwise how could he be willing to take it out in exchange for magic weapons."
There was a lot of discussion below, but no one stepped forward to continue the exchange.
"I am willing to use this set of Hunyuan Toushan Needles in exchange for your incomplete map." At this time, a short female cultivator in a flowery robe came forward, holding a wooden box in her hand. In the wooden box, nine inch-long golden needles were neatly placed, emitting dazzling golden light. It was obvious that they were of extraordinary quality.
"This Taoist friend is not a woman, so how can he use a woman's magic weapon? I am willing to use this pair of water, fire, and noon gold and silver axes in exchange for your incomplete map. How about it?" Another person came forward, holding a wooden box in his hand. In the wooden box, there were two gold and silver axes that were one foot long, shining with spiritual light.
Seeing the pair of water, fire, and noon gold and silver axes, the man with a hunchback suddenly showed a hint of joy in his eyes. Although the water, fire, and noon gold and silver axes were not real fire magic weapons, but one fire and one water, it was not a big deal to drive them by himself, and it barely fit in his hand.
"I am willing to use this set of Three Talents Red Mysterious Flame Knife in exchange for your incomplete map." At this time, a man in a green robe came forward, holding a wooden box in his hand, which contained three foot-long knives. The handles were bright silver, while the blades were blood red. The tip of the knife was even more emitting a blade light that was more than an inch long. One could tell at a glance that these three long knives were definitely not ordinary items.
This person was Xiao Lin. This set of Three Talents Red Mysterious Flame Knife was also one of the top-grade magic weapons he had collected. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to take it out to exchange for the incomplete map.
The man with a liu had originally planned to exchange for the pair of water, fire, and noon gold and silver axes, but he didn't expect that someone else had taken a set of three flaming knives, which immediately made him swallow the words that were on the tip of his mouth.
"I am willing to exchange for this set of Three Talents Red Mysterious Flame Knife." The man with a liu made the decision without hesitation.
Xiao Lin closed the wooden box and threw it to the hunchbacked man. The hunchbacked man took the wooden box with a look of joy and handed the incomplete map to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin didn't even look at it, and put it into the star ring, then turned and entered the crowd and disappeared.
Then several materials for refining first-level fairy treasures appeared. Xiao Lin stood in the crowd and wanted to get a number to see if he could exchange for the refining materials he urgently needed, but after exchanging for the incomplete map, he thought about it and gave up.
He was also very popular at today's trade fair. Although he was wearing a mask and didn't expect people to discover his true face, it was hard to guarantee that someone would not pay attention to him.
Xiao Lin looked for another half an hour, and simply came to a corner of the valley and sat cross-legged.
Many people did not want to participate in the auction, but wanted to participate in the final experience exchange meeting.
For immortal cultivators, the higher the realm, the more dangers they encounter during the practice. Even the techniques that many immortal cultivators practice were created by their predecessors, and many of them have become incomplete over a long period of time.
In the process of practicing such techniques, if one is not careful, the internal organs and meridians may be damaged at the least, or the person may go into a state of infatuation or even die.
The communication between immortal cultivators is mostly a process of communication and solution to such problems. For example, during the process of practicing, a cultivator's Sanjiao acupoint would ache slightly at the beginning of the month and noon.
He didn't know what was going on, but during the communication, someone happened to have had a similar situation and had a solution to this problem. Then, after getting the solution, this person could solve his predicament in time and not make the injury worse.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also some understandings of the practice techniques, as well as the communication of the mysteries of magical powers, etc.
Therefore, for many immortal cultivators, this kind of experience exchange meeting is very important. In each immortal city, in a unique circle, there will be similar experience exchange meetings almost every once in a while.
For the immortal cultivators who live in this city, there is naturally no need for introductions, but for passers-by like Xiao Lin, they need to go through some special channels to get the address and time.
There are also many people sitting around Xiao Lin, and these people are waiting for the final experience exchange session.
After a few hours, Xiao Lin slowly opened his eyes. It turned out that the trade fair had ended, and the next step was to exchange experiences with each other.
In this kind of experience exchange, most cultivators will hide their hearts and answer all questions they know. As long as it does not involve their own privacy and weaknesses, they will speak out their own situations. This is why masks are worn in such exchanges.
Xiao Lin quickly blended into the crowd and discussed various problems in cultivation.
Even some of the use of magical powers will be discussed with each other.
The experience exchange lasted for three days and three nights...
Three days later, Xiao Lin returned to the inn. After entering the room, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of meditation.
Two months later, Xiao Lin left the inn and went directly to the Dark Moon Business. In the next half month, Xiao Lin went in and out of various major businesses.
Xiao Lin basically gathered hundreds of auxiliary materials for refining the Purple Thunder Star Shield in this half month, leaving only two relatively rare ice-attribute materials that have not been purchased yet.
However, Xiao Lin was not in a hurry. He did not plan to refine it immediately. Instead, he issued tasks to collect these two materials in major business houses, and the rewards were generous. Xiao Lin believed that he would be able to collect them sooner or later.
One day, Xiao Lin sat cross-legged on the bed, holding a fragment of the map in each of his hands.
Xiao Lin placed the two fragments of the map on the bed and slowly put them together. Soon, a scene that surprised Xiao Lin appeared. The moment the two fragments of the map were put together, they actually emitted a silver aura. The two maps actually merged together directly and turned into a whole piece.
"It's really on a drawing." After the two fragments of the map were gathered together, a silver aura flashed on them, and then a landscape map began to emerge.
The landscape map was all silver, and the flying birds on it were lifelike, as if they could fly out of the beast map at any time.
Xiao Lin looked at the map above, with a surprised expression on his face.
"It's actually a map, and judging from its appearance, it should be an ancient ruins cave." Xiao Lin saw at a glance that there was a palace shape near the gap on the right side of the map, which was actually flashing orange-red light. Obviously, this palace was the core of this map.
"What a pity." After looking at it for a while, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh softly. It turned out that below the palace was obviously a detailed map inside the palace, including many restrictions and the formulas for controlling the restrictions.
However, this detailed map was only half, so those restrictions and the formulas for controlling were only a large part, and there were still many missing.
"It seems that there is still a fragment of the map scattered outside." Xiao Lin took a deep breath and said to himself.
Xiao Lin understood that without another fragment of the map, even if he entered the palace, he would not be able to fully understand the layout inside and control the restrictions inside.
"Huh?"
Xiao Lin's face suddenly froze. He saw three small golden characters flashing below the palace on the map. They were very small. Xiao Lin used his spiritual eyes to barely see the characters.
"Tianxuan Palace?"
It turned out that this map recorded a place called Tianxuan Palace.
