Bai Qingzhou slowly opened his eyes, feeling the changes in his body, and murmured to himself: "This is the feeling of the ninth level of Qi refining..."
After returning from watching the Fire Falls, Bai Qingzhou began to retreat to improve his cultivation. Finally today, he broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
With the improvement of cultivation level, the time required for promotion is getting longer and longer. Even with Bai Qingzhou's current financial strength, various cultivation arrays and the help of auxiliary elixirs, it still took a year to be promoted to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
time.
"Huh..." Bai Qingzhou breathed out slowly and then stood up.
This time, in order to attack the ninth level of Qi Refining, he specially opened a Grade A room worth five spiritual stones per night.
After taking off his clothes, Bai Qingzhou entered the bathtub in the room and began to wash his body.
Many precious medicinal materials and elixirs were added to the bathtub, as well as spiritual spring water transported from distant spiritual places, making people feel extremely comfortable as soon as they entered.
Bai Qingzhou used his spiritual energy to use [Fire Drawing Technique] to slightly heat the cold water, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The spiritual spring water seemed to be alive, constantly soothing his strong body, and the comfortable feeling made him drowsy.
And his mind began to have random thoughts involuntarily.
Thinking of the deceased Li Yuyun...
Thinking of my childhood playmate Qin Feng...
Thinking of the rough monk who died in the forest...
After a while, he fell asleep.
...
"Senior, your time has come..."
There was a sudden sound outside the door, which immediately woke Bai Qingzhou up. He used his spiritual energy to sense the weather outside and found that it was already bright.
"Wait a minute, I'll be out right now." Bai Qingzhou responded simply.
After saying that, he stood up. The water in the bathtub had become clear, and even the slightest trace of aura in the water had been absorbed into Bai Qingzhou's body.
After getting out of the bathtub, he used a wind spell to blow his hair clean. Bai Qingzhou put on a brand new white robe and walked out the door.
open the door.
I found a young monk dressed as a waiter standing at the door.
"Senior, your time has come. How do you feel about this time?" the young monk asked with a low smile.
"Haha, not bad!" Bai Qingzhou simply replied and walked out of the inn.
"That's alright, seniors are welcome to come down and keep going!" The monk walked all the way to the door.
"good!"
Bai Qingzhou left the inn and looked up at the gentle sunshine. He was in a good mood.
Continue walking towards the market.
Now he wants to have something to eat.
During the nearly one year of getting along with Meng Li in Fangshi, the two of them ate through all the restaurants in Fangshi, including various casual cultivator stalls.
In their own ranking, a noodle stall next to the market ranked first as the most delicious.
Today, Bai Qingzhou wanted to have a meal there.
When we walked to the market where people were coming and going, all kinds of noises could be heard again.
Even during the day, the market was still bustling with people, and many monks were haggling, as if there was never a quiet moment.
After a year, Bai Qingzhou already knows this place very well.
He even saw a lot of familiar faces at the stalls. After nodding slightly, he began to look at the stalls to see if he could find anything good.
There are all kinds of things on the stall, such as charms, animal meat, magical instruments, books, etc., arranged in a messy manner.
After many years of wandering around the city, Bai Qingzhou has developed a good eye for treasures, and can discern the value of many things.
After shopping for two incense sticks, he bought some charms and toys, but he didn't see anything that stood out to him.
And just when Bai Qingzhou wanted to go directly to eat, he suddenly stopped.
He looked towards the stall of a young monk.
"Why does this thing look so familiar..." Bai Qingzhou's heart beat secretly.
There were no customers in the young monk's stall. He was cleaning the stall out of boredom, waiting miserably for customers.
Bai Qingzhou thought for a moment, then walked directly to the stall and said with a hearty smile: "Fellow Taoist, do you have anything good?"
Seeing customers coming to the door, the young monk immediately became energetic, looked at Bai Qingzhou with a smile on his face, and said happily: "I have good things here, what do you want, fellow Taoist?"
Bai Qingzhou moved his gaze to the stall, scanning one by one. When he saw a certain item, his eyes lit up, but he quickly hid it, and then said disdainfully: "Many of these items are yellow-level mid-grade.
What? I don’t like it at all!”
Hearing this, the young monk paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "It turns out he is a senior in the late stage of Qi refining..."
After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the various things on his stall, passing by them, and finally stopped at a book.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the book and said, "Senior, please take a look at this sword manual."
Bai Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, took the sword manual, and said lightly: "What kind of sword manual is this?"
"Look, this sword manual is called "Piaomiao Sword Manual". This is a top-grade yellow-level sword manual! And look at the author, he is a powerful golden elixir!" the young monk said as if offering a treasure.
Bai Qingzhou looked at the name on the book, and his heart moved. He naturally knew the name, and it seemed very familiar.
Because there are two words clearly written on the book: Xu Yang.
This is the author of "Bamboo Leaf Sword Manual" who he has practiced for many years!
When Bai Qingzhou was passing by just now, he saw this book and immediately felt familiar. It turned out to be the same author.
Although he really wanted to get it, Bai Qingzhou pretended not to care at the moment and said lightly: "Xu Yang? Where are the casual cultivators? I have never heard of it."
Hearing this, the young monk curled his lips, apparently thinking that Bai Qingzhou was a country bumpkin who didn't pay attention to current affairs and didn't even know Xu Yang, who was famous in the whole state.
But he still had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Senior, it would be great if you knew this is a high-grade Huang-level sword manual..." After a pause, he glanced at the long sword hanging on Bai Qingzhou's waist, and continued
Said: "Senior is also a swordsman, so you can buy the sword manual!"
"But... I already have a sword manual. If I learn other sword manuals now, it will only mess up my swordsmanship. This thing is useless to me." Bai Qingzhou shook his head slowly and was about to put down the sword manual after speaking.
Hearing this, the young monk looked depressed.
"But..." Bai Qingzhou stopped, "There is a disciple in my family who needs a sword manual... Fellow Taoist, how much does your sword manual cost? If it is suitable, I can buy it."
"Well, in that case..." The young monk hesitated to quote the price. Bai Qingzhou was just buying it for his family disciples. It must not be a necessity. If the price was too high, he would be scared away.
"Fellow Taoist?" Bai Qingzhou asked, looking a little impatient.
The young monk was still struggling. After a while, he slowly and tentatively said: "One hundred low-grade spiritual stones?"
Bai Qingzhou was delighted when he heard the price.
Because the price of a yellow-level high-grade sword manual is generally more than 120 spiritual stones. If you can get it now for 100 spiritual stones, you can save 20 spiritual stones!
But his face remained indifferent, and he even had a look of distress on his face as he said, "Can't it be cheaper? I'll buy it for 90 spiritual stones!"
The young monk shook his head like a rattle and said, "This is impossible!"
...
After a period of haggling, Bai Qingzhou finally succeeded in winning the "Piaomiao Sword Manual" with ninety-six pieces of spiritual stones.
