Chapter 246: Build the City Wall
Auspicious Cloud Cave.
Ye Chunyang looked at the dozen or so supreme talismans floating in front of him, and felt secretly satisfied.
Although a lot of talisman paper was consumed in the past three days, it was worth it after all. The supreme talisman was not as powerful as the half-spiritual talisman, but when it was used together, even the cultivators of the same level had to temporarily avoid the edge.
Normally speaking, it is impossible for ordinary people to activate so many talismans at one time, but Ye Chunyang's spiritual consciousness is strong, and he can activate dozens of talismans below the half-spiritual talisman in an instant. Such a strong power is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.
However, talismans are consumable after all, and the talisman paper he took this time is not top-grade, and can only be released once, so it must not be easily sacrificed until the moment of crisis, otherwise one more use will lose a trump card.
Staring at these talismans, Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he realized the experience of refining talismans in the past three days.
The art of refining talismans requires a very high level of spiritual cultivation from the talisman master, even more demanding than refining pills. In the past, he only carved high-level talismans, and it was the first time he carved the supreme level. However, now he has cultivated the soul-refining art to the state of the soul leaving the body, and his spiritual consciousness is several times stronger than before, so he has long been confident in this.
Moreover, he has naturally obtained a lot of supreme-level spells since he practiced Taoism. At first, after spending hundreds of talisman papers, he finally gradually mastered the essence of this art, and it was naturally much easier to carve. Unfortunately, he spent three whole days and drew hundreds of talisman papers, but only 18 of them were successfully carved, which made him a little regretful.
After all, if he could refine a hundred or eighty pieces, and activate them together in times of crisis, the power would be comparable to that of a semi-spiritual talisman.
But Ye Chunyang also knew that refining talismans was not easy, and it was not realistic to refine supreme-level talismans in batches.
"It seems that I need to practice more in refining talismans in the future."
Ye Chunyang secretly planned that if he could refine powerful talismans, it would be a great help.
However, he didn't know that if some talisman refiners knew about this scene, they would be horrified.
Generally, talisman refiners within the foundation-building period can make supreme talismans, which is a talent. However, he only took three days to refine eighteen pieces. Such a result is rare. If this matter is spread, it will definitely cause a huge sensation in the world of immortal cultivation.
Unfortunately, Ye Chunyang didn't have much contact with refining talismans, so he naturally didn't know how talented he was in refining talismans. Even if he knew, he would keep a low profile. After all, a big tree attracts wind, and the more attention it attracts, the more likely it is to attract trouble.
After making up his mind, Ye Chunyang no longer worried, put away the talismans, opened the door of the cave, and walked out calmly.
Today is the three-day appointment with Xiahou Zhi, and he needs to meet him in his attic.
Although Ye Chunyang was cautious about this trip, he was determined to get the essence of the black iron in the ancient demon cave, and he was curious about who was going with him.
"Hey, has Fellow Daoist Ye come out of retreat? I wonder where you are going this time? Is there anything we can do for you?"
Just as Ye Chunyang stepped out of the auspicious cloud, a kind chuckle came from behind him. Looking back, it was the two guards of Qiankun Sword Sect coming.
Seeing the two, Ye Chunyang thought of something and smiled brightly, saying, "It turned out to be the two Taoists. It's a coincidence. I'm about to leave the city, but I heard that there is a ban near the auspicious cloud. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with it. You two have been guarding here for a long time. I wonder if you can lead the way for me? It would be bad if I trigger the ban by walking around randomly."
The two suddenly realized it.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "So that's how it is. The auspicious clouds here are jointly guarded by various sects. In order to prevent some people with ulterior motives from causing trouble, the sects have indeed set up many restrictions. If you don't know the way, it will be dangerous to walk around randomly, but..." At this point, he suddenly paused, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Seeing this, Ye Chunyang vaguely understood something, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface: "Just what? If you have something to say, just say it directly." The middle-aged man hesitated for a while, then pretended to sigh and said, "If it were in the past, my two brothers would lead the way for you, but today there is another urgent matter, I'm afraid..." As he spoke, his eyes flickered, and it was obvious that there was another deep meaning. Ye Chunyang sneered secretly. The two of them were acting like this because they wanted to get some benefits from him. So he pretended to be in a daze and took out a bag of spirit stones from his sleeve, saying, "You two Taoist friends have worked hard. This is a small gift. You may accept it. Just take me out of the city. It won't take too long."
The two of them brightened up.
The middle-aged man secretly thought that this person was smart, and took the bag of spirit stones with a smile.
After counting, there were no less than a thousand of them, and he was even more delighted.
Just now, he had the intention of blackmailing Ye Xiaobao with his words, but he didn't expect the other party to be so generous, which surprised him secretly.
But after he weighed the bag, his eyes flickered, and then he said with embarrassment: "Daoyou rented a cave in my area, so you are a distinguished guest of our sect. It is such a small matter, we should agree to it, but we two do have important things with us..."
Ye Chunyang felt a little cold in his heart, but he didn't say much, and took out another bag of spirit stones and threw it over: "Daoyou, there is no need to say more, just lead the way."
The two were naturally very happy to see this.
The middle-aged man smiled cheerfully and flattered: "Okay, okay, Daoyou is so kind, how can we two be ungrateful, Daoyou, please follow me."
As he said, he happily led the way.
Ye Chunyang sneered endlessly, these two were greedy, but no matter how much they ate, they would spit it all out later, and then followed them without a sound.
"There are many restrictions here, fellow Taoists need to be careful when walking." The middle-aged man did not forget to remind him on the way.
Ye Chunyang nodded silently.
After receiving so many spiritual stones, the two of them were in a good mood. They used compliments and flattery all the way, and soon he led them outside Xiangyun.
"This is the connection point between Hanging City and Xiangyun. It is already safe. Fellow Taoist, please help yourself." The middle-aged man turned back to Ye Chunyang and smiled.
In their opinion, Ye Xiaobao will be taken care of by Zhuge Yu sooner or later, and this person seems to be very wealthy. They naturally want to get more benefits from him, otherwise they will miss it in vain when he is destroyed by Zhuge Yu. Opportunity.
After saying this, he wanted to send Ye Chunyang off respectfully.
But he did not move, but stood there with a strange look on his face.
After looking at the two of them, Ye Chunyang suddenly smiled and said: "According to what fellow Taoist said, since this place is the connection between the two places, what should we do here? I don't think the guards in the city will interfere?"
"That's it. Hey, what do fellow Taoists mean by this?" The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. He was about to continue saying something when he suddenly felt something was wrong. However, before he could speak, his eyes suddenly went dark.
With a "pop" sound, the middle-aged man suddenly flew up, his body spinning in the air, and a cloud of gold stars appeared in front of his eyes.
He was knocked unconscious by Ye Chunyang's slap.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you..."
The face of the person beside him changed wildly, and he was about to scold him when he suddenly felt the world spinning. He didn't even have time to use his spiritual shield before he plunged into the city wall, lying there like a dead dog.
The middle-aged man was still confused at first, but he suddenly woke up after seeing his companion stabbed in the city wall with his head bruised and bleeding. After making a strange cry, he hurriedly took out a letter arrow to summon his fellow disciples nearby.
But before the signal was ignited, Ye Chunyang's smiling face was already in front of him.
There was a loud "bang", and the middle-aged man followed his junior brother.
However, Ye Chunyang deliberately slowed down a bit when driving him into the city wall, allowing him to remain somewhat awake and not pass out. Therefore, the middle-aged man was clearly drowsy, but he felt his head was broken and bleeding. of pain.
"Fellow Taoist, have mercy! I don't know where my fellow disciples have offended fellow Taoist. If there is any offense, the two of us should apologize to fellow daoist. However, we are disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect. If fellow daoist dares to humiliate us, I Pai will never give up!"
The middle-aged man was furious in his heart. Although he begged for mercy, he did not forget to use his sect to suppress him.
"It's just a sect, why is Ye afraid?" Ye Chunyang said with a cold expression, "It seemed that you two were very happy coveting Ye's spiritual stone a few days ago. How do you feel now?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he trembled: "What do you mean by this, fellow Taoist? When have we ever coveted your spiritual stone?"
He actually gritted his teeth and pretended not to know.
"It seems that your memory is not very good. In that case, let me recall the memories for you."
Ye Chunyang sneered, suddenly raised his hand while speaking, and the middle-aged man's head was slammed into the city wall again.
"Stop! Senior, stop!"
The middle-aged man screamed repeatedly, and fellow Taoists did not dare to address him, so he quickly changed his name to Senior Ye Chunyang.
"Do you remember now?" Ye Chunyang showed a kind smile.
"Yes, senior rents that cave for ten thousand spiritual stones a year. This villain is obsessed with wealth and covets senior's spiritual stones. I will return all the spiritual stones in full."
The middle-aged man had a grimace on his face and hurriedly took out the Qiankun bag and threw it to Ye Chunyang.
Taking the Qiankun bag casually, Ye Chunyang silently counted it, including the more than 40,000 spirit stones he had just asked the two to lead the way, and recovered all of them.
In fact, with his powerful spiritual consciousness, how could he not sense the restrictions in the auspicious clouds? The purpose of ordering the two of them to lead the way was to take back the spirit stone with all the profits.
Although Ye Chunyang didn't care about this spiritual stone, he didn't want to be taken advantage of in vain. Since these two people dared to blackmail him, they would naturally have to pay the price.
"The villain has returned all the spirit stones. Can senior let me go?" The middle-aged man begged for mercy with a sad face.
"Of course it's okay." Ye Chunyang smiled, but suddenly said thoughtfully: "Speaking of it, I still need to rent the place under the jurisdiction of your Qiankun Sword Sect for a while. So, the rent of the cave is Ten thousand spirit stones a year, I can’t let you suffer.”
As he spoke, he took out half of the spirit stone.
The middle-aged man's heart trembled when he saw this, and he didn't dare to take it at all. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Senior, I have spared this villain a lot, how dare I charge you any more? Senior Dongfu can rent it for as long as he wants without taking a penny!"
Ye Chunyang was startled and said angrily: "You bastard, you think that I am shabby and can't afford the rent of the cave, right? Ye has always been very clear about grievances. What you did is not looking down on yourself and making yourself become that despicable and shameless villain." ?”
"No, no, no, senior is worrying too much. How can a villain dare to despise senior? Xiangyun belongs to various sects, but I have been guarding here for many years. Renting more or less sects will not ask any questions. Waiver of rent is a small thing. If one respects one's predecessors, how can one commit injustice against one's predecessors?" the middle-aged man said seriously.
"Really?"
"Indeed!"
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang couldn't help but smile.
