Chapter 148: Preliminary Exploring the Secret Market
"Abbott, we don't have much Buddha's light left, what should we do? It's not easy to deal with these demons and ghosts. Do you want to seek help from the surrounding monks or temples?" The little monk Huitong, the Zhike monk, had sweat stains all over his face.
"There is no Amitabha in the world. If everyone goes to hell, who will go to hell? We have come to guard a county on the orders of the Buddha. Life and death have naturally been ignored for a long time. All we need to do is resist with all our strength." The old abbot had an indifferent look on his face. At this moment, he was quite...
The performance of an eminent monk who saw through the mortal world and attained enlightenment.
In fact, he had just anticipated the current situation. As for the request for help that young monk Huitong said, there was no one else around but Zhao Shoushou who was a late-stage Qi refining monk.
After the last incident in the Alchemist's Cave, although the old abbot blocked him at the cost of a first-grade, top-grade Pure Heart Jade Pendant, it was impossible for Zhao Shoushou to come to the rescue.
Even if there is a chance to add insult to injury without further trouble, it is very possible. As for the surrounding temples, the situation is almost the same, how can they come to rescue?
"The common people in the world have many misunderstandings about my Buddhist disciples. Today in this evil chaos, I am wise with my blood, Amitabha." After the old abbot said the Buddha's name, he took the lead in twisting the beads in his hands and sat cross-legged in front of the monks at the gate of the Buddhist temple.
Later, the guest monk Huitong, the leader of Luohan Temple, and others sat cross-legged respectively, reciting Buddhist sutras and injecting powerful Buddha's light, which increased the number several times. Five demons and ghosts that hit too close to the front were instantly suppressed under the Buddha's light.
For a while, the Luohan Temple and the demons and ghosts were in a stalemate war of attrition. However, the demons and ghosts were victorious as they continued to gain support. However, the monks of the Luohan Temple were fighting with their backs against the odds. It would take enough time for the two sides to win and lose.
On the other side, when Zhao Shoushou approached the cave, he did not move forward rashly. Although the spiritual veins here were weak and there were formations, the instinct of demons and ghosts was to chase the spiritual veins. He was not 100% sure that everything in the cave was safe and sound.
There was no attack by demons.
But how could Zhao Shoushou, who had always made plans before taking action, be helpless? He put his index finger in his mouth and made a rather special whistle.
"Quack, quack, quack!" Soon two first-level mid-level cormorants had climbed out of the cave, flapping their short wings, and surrounded Zhao Shoushou.
This pair of cormorants was what he used to stay in the cave before going to the Taiyuling Mine. If there were some monsters that were not strong enough to attack, there should be no problem in reporting themselves in response to their formation.
Even if you encounter a slightly stronger opponent, you will not have any regrets if you escape before the formation breaks down and save your life through the vast Cormorant Lake.
"This spiritual vein that has not been completely replenished so far is a blessing in disguise in this devilish chaos. I don't think there will be any other monsters except some little monsters." Zhao Shoushou thought with joy in his misery.
Since everything was as usual in the cave, after a little tidying up, he set out on a new journey again in the early morning of the third day, preparing to search for the locations of some secret markets provided by Xiaokan Shanfang City at that time.
Of course, if there was no harvest here, he would not let it go when he was in Xiaofang City in the Purple Jade Mountains. Zhao Shoushou would never return easily before all the spiritual stones in the storage bag were consumed.
With his careful dodging, the journey went quite smoothly, but when he saw that some places that were once prosperous had become unprecedentedly depressed, he could not bear the loneliness in his heart.
Two days later, Zhao Shoushou finally arrived at the raised position of two inconspicuous small mounds. A huge willow tree was the most distinctive feature of this place. This was also the preferred plan of Xiaokanshanfang City.
"These monsters are really like dog noses. Can they be found in such a secret location? I don't know how many monks died in this battle." Before entering, the bright blood red under the willow tree came into view for the first time.
Seeing this scene, he already understood that there must have been a fierce battle here, and the monks here had already broken out and left after the demons discovered it.
However, judging from the battlefield that had been cleaned and almost nothing was left, it was obvious that many monks had been here before him.
This situation lasted until the fifth day. During this period, Zhao Shoushou searched for three locations, but without exception, they were all destroyed by demons.
Judging from the traces of battles left behind, it was obvious that every breakout was a fierce battle. Zhao Shoushou even found out at the last site when he even doubted whether the vendors still existed.
In the process of searching for the market, he inevitably had to fight with some monsters, and some of them were single ones that he focused on. He hunted a total of one little devil in the late stage of Qi training, and two little devils in the middle stage of Qi training.
Only, a total of seven points can be exchanged. Including the previous two flaming hyenas, Zhao Shoushou can exchange for thirteen points.
According to the promises made by each sect, every surviving city will have a points redemption point, and points can be used to redeem treasures on-site.
Normally, points cannot be redeemed, but there are always some monks with great supernatural powers who are open to purchasing points in the city all year round, and the prices are much higher than those of other major sects.
Of course, Zhao Shoushou would not choose to redeem these points unless he had to. His goal was the "Condensing Water Art".
"The best healing elixirs, detoxifying elixirs, and miasma-repelling elixirs are all made by first-level high-grade alchemists, and the prices are cheap and you can't be fooled."
"Fellow Taoists, please take a look. Since these fragments of magical weapons can survive the battle, there is a reason. They are all the essence of the magical weapons."
"The unhatched egg shells of first-level low-grade black mosquito ants, and ten low-grade spiritual stones. As long as these little guys are cultivated and formed into a huge army of ants, the demons and demons can just pick them up at random, so why bother?"
As soon as Fang entered, the lively hawking sounds made Zhao Shoushou a little unbelievable. In less than a few months after the beginning of the demonic chaos, the entire world of cultivation was in depression, and such a huge difference felt like a world away.
Zhao Shoushou glanced at the treasures sold at the stalls, but most of them were low-end goods, and there were basically none that could meet his requirements.
Therefore, his first goal was to redeem points. It was not a good thing to always have some monster heads running around with him.
"Three demon heads, big and small, exchange for nine points."
"One big and small demon, three small and medium demons, and two small and small demons. Exchange points for eight points."
"Seven big and small demons, exchange points for 21 points"
In fact, the most lively place in the entire city is undoubtedly this place. The special voice of the monk in charge of redeeming points makes every monk who hunts monsters feel very comfortable, especially the envious eyes around him, and even more so when the voice comes.
in this way.
The most eye-catching thing is the large black box behind the points exchange office, which is densely packed with the heads of monsters and ghosts. In fact, this is only the number of people in one day. It is through this inconspicuous way of moving ants that the monks let the monsters and ghosts move around.
