"You know a lot, can you tell it from that ancient book?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.
With his strength, it was natural that the runes on the black crystal stone were a formation, and the precision of the runes was close to the standards of the universe and the fairy world. They should not belong to this world, but Sima De was able to identify it, which is enough to prove it.
This guy knows a lot more than he lets on.
This also further convinced Li Xuan that what Sima De just said should be true.
Sima De nodded and said: "Yes, they all come from that ancient book. The author was a monk who fought against demons during the Great Tribulation fifteen thousand years ago. He has a deep understanding of demon runes. The ancient book says
He left a lot of knowledge about runes, and I also did a little research."
"I wonder if you can tell me something." Li Xuan asked, he wanted to test how much Sima De knew.
Sima De had a troubled look on his face, Li Xuan saw it in his eyes and naturally knew what he was thinking.
"Well, if you are willing to teach me the secrets of the rune array, I am willing to help you within my ability." Li Xuan said.
Learning the secrets of the rune array was naturally not Li Xuan's fundamental intention. His intention was to keep in touch with Sima De so that he could always know when and where the outer realm passage would be opened.
Sima De was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "With your words, I am willing to teach you everything I know. In exchange, I hope you can collect some rare magic circle materials for me."
"Tell me what you want first." Li Xuan agreed without hesitation.
"It may be difficult for other people, but it must be very simple for you." Sima De smiled slightly, "I want ten high-quality shadow stones, ten high-quality flame stones, and ten more.
Dead grass."
"Tsk, tsk, this can be called very simple?" Li Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. Sima De should really do business. This guy really knows how to ask for high prices.
And it has to be said that Sima De has a very vicious vision, and the things he requests are definitely neither willing nor daring to collect for ordinary monks.
Shadow Stones and Shadow Crystals have similar effects. They can imprison and corrode spiritual power. Weapons strengthened with Flame Stones can easily break through spiritual armor. The powder obtained from dead leaf grass through alchemy is the main ingredient in the magic-sealing elixir.
Material.
With Sima De's strength, if he were to search for these materials himself, he would probably have a narrow escape.
It's different when it comes to Li Xuan. For him, it's not a question of whether these things can be found, but whether they can be encountered.
Li Xuan nodded and said: "Okay, let's make a deal, but you have to tell me part of it first."
"I can tell you everything I know as a deposit. When you collect all the materials, I can give you the ancient book about the outside world. There are still many mysteries in it that I have not understood. With your intelligence,
With your talent, you may gain greater rewards than me." Sima De said.
Li Xuan sighed and said: "Why do I feel that I have fallen into the trap you set up? I have no choice but to settle it like this. I will try my best to fulfill your instructions, but you have to give me enough time."
"How about one year?" Sima De asked, "After one year, we will trade here. You give me materials and I will give you ancient books."
"Deal." Li Xuan stretched out his hand and held Sima De's hand tightly, making a promise.
Early the next morning, when the sunlight had just poured into the inn room through the blinds, Li Xuan was awakened by the noise downstairs.
"How dare you stay in the town?" The innkeeper was a short, fat, middle-aged man. He stared at Yao Lin and Bai Ziwei having breakfast in the restaurant on the first floor, mouth open in surprise.
"Zombies wander around the town every night and will not leave unless the sun rises. You are a little too brave." The guys at the inn were also surprised by the feats of the two beauties.
Li Xuan, Kuang Hu and others walked down the stairs, which aroused their exclamation.
After asking about the origins of Li Xuan and others and the encounter last night, they let out a burst of warm cheers.
"Friends, thank you for your generous helping hand. Our town has been infested by zombies for a long time, and several groups of bodyguards we hired have failed. I didn't expect that you saved the town. Thank you so much." The boss took Li Xuan's hand and expressed his gratitude.
Endless to say.
"Ahem, we are also trying to save our lives." Li Xuan didn't want to be too high-profile. After all, they smuggled in through the mountain road. If they were discovered by the border guards of the Southern Tang Dynasty, they would be in trouble.
"No matter what, please stay here for lunch. I will treat you with the most unique food in Southern Tang Dynasty." The boss is an enthusiastic person and insists on thanking Li Xuan and others.
It was hard to reject the warm hospitality, and everyone had nothing important to do, so they stayed. Yao Lin and Bai Ziwei went to hang out in the town, while the others stayed in the inn.
Li Xuan and Simade were sitting by the window on the first floor. In front of them were several kinds of dried fruits special to Southern Tang Dynasty, as well as two steaming cups of fragrant fruit tea, exuding a rich fruity aroma.
Sima De squinted his eyes and looked expectantly at the end of the street. Although there were many pedestrians walking on the street, there was no friend coming to pick him up.
Li Xuan waited impatiently: "Will your friends really come? You have been imprisoned in Luoyi City for so many years, they must have given up long ago."
"No." Sima De said firmly, "They know that I will definitely come back. Without me, they can't find the passage. They will definitely come here every day to wait for me."
"Then keep waiting." Li Xuan shrugged, picked up the cup and took a sip.
Nantang's fruit tea tastes really good. The fragrance of the fruit blends into the tea, giving it a unique taste.
However, the fragrance only stayed on Li Xuan's tongue for a few seconds. A loud noise in the distance disrupted Li Xuan's leisure time of tasting delicious fruit tea.
"What's going on?" Li Xuan frowned and looked out the window.
From a mountain in the distance, a group of violent flashes of light rushed into the air. Although it was daytime, it was still extremely bright, dragging a bright tail across the air.
Then there were several loud noises. Looking from a distance, not only were the mountains blazing with fire, but they were also flashing with red and blue lights.
"There are monks fighting!" Li Xuan reacted immediately.
Looking at Sima De again, his face had turned pale: "My friend ran into someone from the academy. They must be fighting!"
"Let's go take a look." Li Xuan walked out of the inn.
Kuang Hu and others were watching from the window. When they saw Li Xuan and Sima De running towards the mountain, they also wanted to follow them.
Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "You guys wait for me in the town. I'll be back soon."
