Chapter 143 Meng Li
After Huan Yin obtained the top-quality magic furnace, there was only one last item left to be auctioned.
After Liu Hong's introduction, Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong learned that the last item was a classic called "Nong Yan Jing".
"Nong Yan Jing" was written by Lan Yanzi of Yijian Peak himself, and the content described in it is the essence of Lan Yanzi's experience in controlling various flames. Liu Hong said before that the last auction was related to Lan Yanzi, but now it seems that he was not lying.
The original copy of "Nong Yan Sutra" was stored on the ninth floor of the nine-story pagoda, and the copy at the auction is a replica. However, this replica still aroused crazy bidding from all the monks in the venue, because the value of the classics lies in the knowledge that the text in it can bring to the instrument cultivators, and regardless of whether it is reproduced or not, the content of the classics will not change.
What's more, no one else has ever entered the ninth floor of the nine-story tower except Lan Yanzi himself. Therefore, this replica of the "Blue Flame Sutra" is even more valuable than the one in the Nine-Storied Pagoda. Because to all the monks, there is no difference between the book on the ninth floor of the nine-story pagoda and the book at all. But this one at the auction can actually be held in your hands, and can even be passed on to others.
In the end, this "Nongyan Sutra" was auctioned for 1.5 million spiritual stones. And the person who got this tome was the one who had previously competed with Huan Yin for the Phantom Furnace. It seems that at this moment, apart from Huan Yin, he is the only monk in the field who is very interested in the sword-making treasure and has enough spiritual stones.
After the auction of all thirteen items ended, Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong left. Today, both of them got what they wanted in this weapon workshop. Although they suddenly became a little strapped, they were satisfied.
At this moment, the two of them were walking in a square on the second level of Yijian Peak, and they were going back to their residence.
"Fellow practitioners, stay." Suddenly, a figure blocked the way of Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong.
Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong looked up and found a middle-aged man wearing a Yijianfeng Taoist robe standing in front of them. Ji Cangqiong frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this fellow practitioner?"
The middle-aged man had a hint of arrogance on his face and said directly: "It's not convenient to speak here, so I can take a step to speak."
Ji Cangqiong saw that this middle-aged man was arrogant and stopped the two of them for no reason but did not even say "please" from beginning to end. He snorted coldly: "What if I don't lend you a step?"
The middle-aged man obviously did not expect Ji Cangqiong to speak like this. He frowned for a moment, but did not move out of the way of Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong. He stood there and seemed to be thinking for a while before he came again: "I have the treasure you want, you decide for yourself whether to come or not."
When Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong heard his words, they immediately looked at each other.
"His cultivation level is not as good as mine, not to mention that this is Yijian Peak. He can't openly play tricks on me. It's up to you to decide whether to follow him or not." A thought suddenly appeared in Huan Yin's mind. The voice seemed to be Ji Cangqiong's message to him.
After listening to Ji Cangqiong's words, Huan Yin's heart settled down. However, this middle-aged monk from Jianfeng suddenly came to find his two outsider monks, and he didn't know what he wanted. Huan Yin thought that since he couldn't do any tricks, he might as well go see what medicine he was selling in his gourd. So Huan Yin nodded to Ji Cangqiong.
"Lead the way." When Ji Cangqiong saw Huan Yin nodding, he turned to the middle-aged man and said.
The middle-aged man stopped talking and walked straight forward. After Huan Yin and Ji Cangqiong followed the middle-aged male cultivator to a slightly secluded place on the second level, he stopped and turned to face them: "I am the weapon master of Yijian Peak, my name is Meng Li. , I think Alliance Leader Ji must know something about me, right?”
Meng Li has been a master of Yijianfeng for less than ten years. In terms of qualifications, he is far behind the older generation of masters like Zhao Wei. However, he is extremely talented, and after becoming a weapon master, he quickly caught up with others. In just a few years, he has become a leader among the sword masters of Yijian Peak. His sword-making skills even surpassed those of the older generation like Zhao Wei. A lot of teachers. And some people estimate that if another 20 years pass, Meng Li is likely to be promoted to a master.
As the leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, Ji Cangqiong had investigated many weapon masters of Yijian Peak before, and he had naturally heard of Meng Li's name. Meng Li is a weapon master trained by Yijian Peak. He is highly valued in the sect, and his sword-making skills are truly extraordinary.
"I didn't expect that Master Meng would even recognize a small character like me, which makes Ji feel honored. Master, why are you looking for me and me today?" Ji Cangqiong felt very uncomfortable when he saw Meng Li's arrogant look. There is also a bit of sarcasm in it.
Meng Li said coldly: "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for him." He turned to look at Huan Yin: "I know your name is Huan Yin, and you are the one who rushed to the sixth floor of the Nine-Storey Tower a few days ago. Foreign young weapon repairer, you are very good."
With Meng Li's temperament, it would be quite a compliment to say "You are very good" to others, but Huan Yin could not find any hint of praise in his words. So he also said coldly: "What do you want from me?"
Meng Li looked at Huan Yin seriously and said, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Huan Yin frowned and asked, "What do you want to compare?"
Meng Li smiled confidently: "It's better than you at breaking into the tower. This time, let's go to the seventh floor together and see who is better!"
Meng Li's words revealed strong confidence, and it seemed that he was very sure that he could defeat Huan Yin. You know, Huan Yin is in the limelight right now, and no one dares to underestimate his strength. But when Meng Li comes up, he proposes to compete with Huan Yin in the tower, which is really arrogant.
"Why should I compare with you?" Huan Yin has never been a person who likes comparison, and he has no good impression of Meng Li.
As if he had known that Huan Yin would ask this question, Meng Li smiled strangely: "I also participated in the auction of the utensil workshop just now, and I know that you took a lot of treasures at the venue. However, I also took a picture here. A valuable treasure, I believe you will want what I have."
After hearing Meng Li's words, Ji Cangqiong and Huan Yin immediately frowned even deeper. The auction venue was so secretive. Meng Li actually said that he knew that the two of him had participated in the auction, and even made insinuations about the top-grade magic furnace in his words. This was simply too weird. Could it be that he had any secret method that could detect spiritual consciousness beyond the venue? limit?
Meng Li saw the two of them frowning, and then said: "Don't worry, I just entered the auction venue alone. No one else will know what you got except me. I, Meng Li, also I'm not a villain, I will keep all the information about you at the auction venue secret. I just want to compare with Huan Yin, and I also want to take pictures for you. "
"Are you the one who bids against me?" Huan Yin suddenly guessed something and asked Meng Li.
Meng Li nodded: "It's really incredible that you are so wealthy at such a young age."
When Meng Li said this, Huan Yin immediately understood that Meng Li was the one who fought with him to the end for the best magic furnace, and was also the one who took the "Nongyan Sutra" with 1.5 million spirit stones.
"Where's the evidence?" Huan Yin arrived again.
This time, Meng Li cautiously glanced around, and when he saw that no one was around, he took out a tome. This classic is the "Nongyan Jing" written by Lan Yanzi and displayed by Liu Hong at the auction.
"How, do you want to compare?" Meng Li quickly put away the "Nong Yan Jing" and asked Huan Yin. Today he came to Huan Yinbi to break into the tower, relying on the fact that he had the "Nongyan Sutra" in his hand. He did not believe that a weapon cultivator like Huan Yin would not be interested in this classic.
"If I lose, I will give you the Fantasy Furnace. If you lose, you will give me this "Nong Yan Jing", okay?" Huan Yin asked Meng Li.
"Smart, that's what I mean. Neither you nor I are ordinary weapon cultivators. These two treasures are extremely precious to us. So, why don't we compare and let the capable person collect both treasures? This is not a disgrace to two peerless treasures." Meng Li nodded.
In fact, Meng Li's proposal was a conspiracy. He approached Huan Yin to compete openly and openly, and also gave Huan Yin a bait that made him tempted, so he knew that Huan Yin would not reject him. Because rejecting him would be tantamount to rejecting the "Nongyan Sutra". How could a Qi cultivator like Huan Yin reject the "Nongyan Sutra"?
The advantage of this conspiracy to Meng Li is that he can harvest the best magic furnace in Huan Yin's hands. However, if he wants this conspiracy to succeed, he must ensure that his intellectual attainments are superior to Huan Yin. Now it seems that he obviously has this confidence.
Sure enough, after Huan Yin thought for a while, he asked: "How to compare?"
"It's very simple. In three days, we will go to the seventh floor of the nine-story pagoda together. There are one million materials in the seventh floor, and we will be able to identify more than anyone else among these million materials." Meng Li knew, Huan Yin had already agreed to his proposal by asking.
"What if you don't give me anything if you lose?" Huan Yin asked again.
Meng Li laughed: "Comrade Huan, your confidence is beyond my expectation. As for your question, I can guarantee it with my Dao oath. Of course, you must do the same."
Dao oath is an oath made by a cultivator based on the Dao thoughts in his heart. What a monk cultivates throughout his life is all about the word "Tao", so the idea of Tao in a monk's heart is the most important thing for a monk. If you swear by Taoism, if you don't abide by the oath in the future, there will be unknown forces in the world that will remove the Taoism in the hearts of the monks who violated the Taoist oath, causing the monks' Taoism to be broken and become mortals.
Speaking of the Tao oath, it sounds illusory, but monks throughout the ages, who violate the Tao oath, will ultimately be unable to escape the punishment of the power of creation between heaven and earth. Therefore, the promises made by the Tao oath can be said to be impossible to break. .
"Okay, I'll see you at the Nine-Storey Pagoda in three days' time!" Huan Yin agreed, as if he had stepped into Meng Li's trap.
The second update is here. I hope you all support me. A separate post will be posted later.
