Chapter 65 Good and Evil Cannot Coexist (1/2)

There are really a lot of people in the black market today, probably all of them came for that pill.

At this time, in a hall of Hongfu Building, more than 20 people were sitting, waiting for the auction to start.

Er Gouzi used the Qi-Looking Technique to quietly scan and found that the people who came were all below the sixth level of Qi training.

There were no particularly strong masters, which made him feel much more at ease.

He guessed that maybe just like Peiyuan Guben Pills, after practicing to a certain level, this kind of pill would not be of much help.

After practicing for several years, this was the first time to see so many immortal cultivators gathered together. It seems that Anchang County is also full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

After waiting for a while, the old shopkeeper of Hongfu Hall came out with a smile.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time..."

The old shopkeeper seemed to like telling stories very much. He told everyone the origin of this pill again, which caused laughter in the whole room.

Only Er Gouzi felt that he was pulled out and whipped again.

"The county magistrate is kind and righteous..."

"The county magistrate loves the people like his own children..."

"The county magistrate..."

Er Gouzi sat in the crowd and heard the monks around him flattering. He felt that they were all the same old clichés and there was no novelty.

He even didn't understand that everyone was wearing masks now and no one could see each other clearly.

Would it be effective to flatter someone from a distance?

Is it just a personal hobby and it would be uncomfortable not to flatter?

"Hmph! Just a bunch of maggots!"

A cold voice suddenly came out from the crowd, which was extremely harsh in this happy environment.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a big painted face mask.

"What are you looking at? Sooner or later, I will kill all of you maggots."

The big painted face didn't care about everyone's attention, but instead made a cruel remark.

"I don't know where this Taoist friend came from, so rampant?"

The shopkeeper of Hongfu Hall asked coldly.

His cultivation is not weak. He is only in his 50s, but he has already reached the fifth level of Qi training. He is also a well-known figure in the entire black market.

As everyone knows, the boss behind Hongfutang is the county magistrate. This man dared to slander the county magistrate in person.

"I will not change my name or surname. I am Qingfengzi of Daoxuan Sect. If you have the guts, come to Daoxuan Sect to find me."

It turns out that this man with a painted face mask is a cult member. No wonder he dared to provoke the government.

Anyway, they are all illegal. Too many lice don't worry, too many debts don't itch.

"Good!"

"I remember, it turns out to be a hero of Daoxuan Sect.

The shopkeeper of Hongfulou laughed instead of getting angry, as if he had remembered this grudge.

"You are not a Daoxuan Sect cultivator at all, why do you want to blame Daoxuan Sect?"

But at this time, a man wearing a ghost mask stood up and scolded.

"How do you know I am not a Daoxuan Sect cultivator? Are you? "

The painted-faced man was still arrogant.

The ghost-faced man hesitated for a moment after being asked back, and slowly took off his mask, revealing a thin face.

"Yes, I am the real master, Qing Fengzi of Daoxuan Sect, I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"Although I, Daoxuan Sect, am not tolerated by the government, I just want to concentrate on practicing Taoism, and I have never had the intention of rebellion. "

After Qing Fengzi finished speaking, he put on his mask again and left the auction venue.

He would rather reveal his identity and not have the pill this time, but he couldn't take the blame for others.

This kind of sect left over from ancient times has been trying to survive in the cracks. If it completely angers the government, it will be easily wiped out.

As Qing Fengzi left, the man with the painted mask also left the auction venue.

A small episode ended, and the auction continued.

The shopkeeper of Hongfulou stopped talking nonsense and took out a jade box and opened it in front of everyone.

There was a white and crystal pill inside. Looking through it with spiritual sense, you can see the rich spiritual energy contained in the pill.

"This is a first-grade Peiyuan Pill. Our store does not accept ordinary silver. In order to facilitate everyone's bidding, we will bid in Peiyuan Guben Pills. "

"After the auction is successful, you can use Peiyuan Guben Pills to deliver, or you can use other equivalent spiritual objects. "

"The starting price is 1,000 Peiyuan Guben Pills. "

"I'll bid 2,000. ”

“I’ll offer 2500.”

“I’ll offer 2800.”

Just as the discussion started, the price was raised to 2800 Peiyuan Guben Pills.

However, Er Gouzi had heard from Sima Yi that Peiyuan Pills would cost at least 30,000 taels of silver.

If it were Peiyuan Guben Pills, at least 3,000 would be needed.

“3000.”

So Er Gouzi simply quoted the actual price, hoping that everyone would not drive the price up too high.

“3100 pills”

“3200!”

“3300! "

However, there were still cultivators at the scene who continued to bid.

Er Gouzi had long determined that this was his own elixir, so he could only continue to bid.

In the end, Er Gouzi bought the elixir that belonged to him at the price of 4,000 Pei Yuan Gu Ben Pills.

After conversion, he paid 380 taels of refined silver essence.

All the participants looked at Er Gouzi with curious eyes, wondering where this man came from, and how he was so rich that he could take out 380 taels of refined silver essence at one time.

Afterwards, Hongfulou took the opportunity to auction some items related to cultivators.

Er Gouzi spent another 200 taels of refined silver essence to buy a piece of black iron.

This material can be used by cultivators to refine magic tools and flying swords, and it is expensive.

However, there was only a small piece at the scene, and it could not be refined into a magic tool.

Er Gouzi planned to integrate this material into his heavy sword to enhance its toughness.

"I will introduce the last item to you."

The shopkeeper of Hongfulou said, taking out a large wooden box and opening the lid. Inside was the body of a locust king.

"This is a locust king that has become a locust demon. It is one foot and five inches long. It took several masters to kill it."

"The locust demon contains rich spiritual power. Taking it directly can increase cultivation and can also be used for alchemy."

"This pair of hind legs can be used to make weapons..."

The shopkeeper of Hongfulou listed all the benefits of the locust demon one by one, and it was very inflammatory.

In short, the whole body of this locust demon, including the feces in its stomach, is very valuable.

Sure enough, just this locust corpse caused everyone to scramble, and the price was raised to the same level as the elixir.

Er Gouzi finally spent 330 taels of refined silver essence to buy this extremely precious locust king corpse.

He planned to take it home to feed the geese.

In this round of auction, Er Gouzi became the biggest winner, buying the two most valuable items in the whole auction.

At the same time, he was also the biggest loser. It was obviously his own elixir, but he spent the equivalent of tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy it back.

After Er Gouzi bought the elixir, he left the county alone without any delay.

He went back to Shekou Mountain first. The two geese that had just advanced were much better after recuperation.

It was just that they lost a lot of hair when they advanced, and now they haven't grown back, and many places are still bald.

He fed them a few Peiyuan Guben pills and took them to kill locusts again...

…………

On a barren mountain outside the county, a man in black performed the wind control technique and ran quickly.

When he ran to this barren mountain, he stopped and looked around, and it seemed that he couldn't find the target to move forward.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy behind him fluctuated, and a sharp sword had stabbed him silently.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

Fortunately, the man in black had rich combat experience and jumped forward without even looking at him, thus avoiding the sneak attack.

Then he returned with another sword.

"Ding!"

At this time, a figure appeared behind him.

It was Qing Fengzi of Daoxuan Sect who hurriedly left the auction.

"What exactly do you want to do, Daoyou? You are trying to sow discord between my Daoxuan Sect and the government."

"Hehehe..."

The man in black robe laughed.

"You Daoxuan Sect is hiding too deep. If I were not like this, why would you take the initiative to show up?"

"Hmph!"

"Even if you are looking for someone, there is no need to resort to such despicable means."

Qing Fengzi was obviously not satisfied with the black-robed man's words.

"I really have something to do with you."

The black-robed man continued to explain.

"Not interested!"

Qing Fengzi turned around and was about to leave, but the black-robed man blocked him again.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave. I just want to ask you to help refine an alchemy furnace."

"Don't you have an alchemy furnace? So many blood and soul pills should be from your hands."

Qing Fengzi stared at the black-robed man and said coldly.

"Our Daoxuan Sect is passed down from the ancient righteous way, and we have always been incompatible with you evil demons."

"With such a heinous thing as refining pills on living people, our Daoxuan Sect will never help the tyrants."

Qing Fengzi said, turned around and left.

The black-robed man blocked him again.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Anything can be traded and negotiated."

"Good and evil cannot coexist. There are no conditions to negotiate for things that are harmful to the heaven and earth."

Qing Fengzi was very determined and had already held a sword in front. If the black-robed man continued to pester him, he would fight.

"Daoxuan Secret Treasure!"

The black-robed man stopped trying to stop him and only said these four words.

Qing Fengzi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he turned around and stared at the black-robed man.

"Do you really have information about Daoxuan Secret Treasure?"

"Hehe, I said that any transaction can be negotiated."

The black-robed man smiled and said slowly.

"Tell me, do you have information about Daoxuan Secret Treasure?"

Qing Fengzi's eyes showed murderous intent when he said this.

"Why are you in such a hurry!"

"Of course I don't have it. Even if you kill me, you can't get any information."

"Since there is nothing, there is no need to talk."

Qing Fengzi's demeanor returned to normal. He felt that he was teased. He snorted coldly and planned to turn around and leave again.

"I don't have it, but our leader certainly has it."

"You don't think that just refining an alchemy furnace can exchange for such important information."

The black-robed man continued to speak slowly, as if he had grasped the key points of Daoxuan Sect and was confident.

"Of course I know this, a mere alchemy furnace is just a piece of cake."

At this time, Qing Fengzi looked kind and had agreed.

"What kind of alchemy furnace do you want? I can deliver it in a month after I go back."

"Good! Great..."

Immediately, the black-robed man told the alchemy furnace style, size, and other conditions he needed.

Qing Fengzi wrote down these details one by one, and he could refine it when he went back...

………………

Er Gouzi's team has entered Heishan Town. After the reorganization, the team is not only easier to manage, but also has a much stronger combat effectiveness.

They swept through the past and harvested countless locusts, but only three people died in the battle.

In addition to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the locust-killing team after the reorganization, the strength of the two big white geese has also been greatly improved after becoming spiritual beasts.

Er Gouzi took out a large number of locusts containing spiritual energy from the gourd every day and fed them to the two big geese.

After replenishing enough spiritual energy, the big goose recovered quickly, and its strength and speed increased by at least twice.

Now it is effortless to fly in the sky with Er Gouzi.

Two hard and sharp feathers have grown on the tips of the goose's wings, as hard and sharp as steel knives, and can cut off a bowl-thick tree trunk.

Often, when the wings were swept in the air, many mutant locusts several inches long were cut in half.

The two geese had become the main combat force of this locust-killing team. In every battle, at least half of the locusts were killed by the two geese.

Er Gouzi saw the strength of the advanced geese and returned to Shekou Mountain overnight. He also shared the corpse of the locust king he bought with the two geese.

Sure enough, he successfully made the two geese break through and become spiritual beasts.

With two spiritual beasts guarding Shekou Mountain, he felt more at ease.

However, in the subsequent battles, they swept the locusts in three towns in succession, but did not find the locust king again.

Maybe there are not many of these insect kings, and they were just lucky before, so they encountered two in succession.

Without the insect king, with the current combat power of their team, they are enough to deal with ordinary insect swarms.

With Shekou Mountain as the center, they circled around and swept outward, and the results were quite fruitful.

In addition to being used as food, the locusts harvested every day can also be slightly surplus.

During this period, they also encountered other locust-killing teams.

Most of them had a hard time. The locusts they harvested were not enough for their food. If they did not have enough food, they could not recruit more people.

If they did not have enough people and could not defeat the locust swarm, these temporarily recruited villagers would panic and flee once they suffered casualties.

Therefore, those teams with insufficient strength would only become weaker and weaker.

However, there would always be some outstanding people who would emerge after the great waves.

In addition to their team, there were several other locust-killing teams that also achieved great results.

These teams came from the Sima family, Dingjiazhuang, and the county magistrate's confidants.

Sima Yi had already talked about the situation of these locust-killing teams.

Perhaps the thoughts of wise men always have some similarities, or they were selfish.

The team supported by Dingjiazhuang had been killing locusts only near Dingjiazhuang.

The Sima family's team also mainly operated near the Sima family.

The county magistrate's team was the strongest and had the largest number of people. It was said that there were two to three thousand people, and the territory they had to protect was also the widest.

After learning about the actions of other teams, Er Gouzi felt more at ease to stay around Sanchazi Town.

Anyway, the crops in the fields had been eaten up, and for the villagers, it didn't seem to be that important whether the locusts were killed or not.

Now that he was closer to home, Er Gouzi could often ride a big white goose back to Shekou Mountain to water and check on the situation at home.

At this point, he finally had time to take out the expensive Peiyuan Pill and take it.

This pill was the size of a finger, white and crystal, like a pearl.

I remember when I bought it, there was only one dan pattern on the pill. After it was stored in the gourd for a while, two dan patterns appeared on the pill.

Did it change from the first grade to the second grade?

He didn't know much about pills, so he could only guess that the spiritual energy was improved, which was a good thing.

After meditating and regulating his breath, he ate the pill.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it slid down his throat very smoothly, and continued to emit spiritual energy in his stomach.

He immediately practiced Qigong to refine it...

After a day and a night, Er Gouzi slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, his cultivation level had reached the fifth level of Qi training.
