At this time, he was lying on the leisure chair, using the power of his spiritual thoughts to comprehend a jade slip he had just received this morning.
This jade slip cost him 5,000 intermediate spirit stones in exchange, and the information in it was very complicated.
In addition to excluding the parts he had learned over the past few days, this jade slip also mentioned a brand-new ability that monks would acquire after entering the Hunyuan Realm.
That is the protective Qi.
According to the information in the jade slips, the essence of this 'gang qi' is actually the power of extremely pure true energy. When it runs in the body, a small amount of mysterious energy will be projected out from the body and overwhelm the body.
on the surface of the human body.
When the concentration of this mysterious energy exceeds a certain limit, it will spontaneously combine with the surrounding heaven and earth energy and transform into an energy qi with mysterious functions.
And because the source of this energy is actually the power of true energy running in the monk's body.
Therefore, this kind of energy Qi will also undergo corresponding changes due to changes in the power of true energy, and will eventually be transformed into a new type of energy that can be freely controlled - Gang Qi.
Since the essence of Gang Qi is the external manifestation of the power of true energy, its use is essentially different from that of incantation.
During the execution of the latter, there is a step of transforming the true essence and gathering the vitality of heaven and earth.
And 'Gang Qi', whether it is formed or used, is instantaneous without delay.
At the same time, Gang Qi, as a real and completely controllable energy, can be used in various ways.
It can be used as a medium to launch attacks.
You can also rely on its ability to cover the whole body anytime and anywhere. When an attack comes, it can instantly build a protective layer of 'gang qi' around the monk's body.
Finally, because the source of Gang Qi is the true energy in the monk's body, its final power is closely related to the purity of the monk's true energy.
According to the description of the author of this jade slip, the newly promoted monks in the Hunyuan Realm have a weak true energy in their bodies, so the Gang Qi they form is also very fragile.
Regardless of whether it is used for attack or defense, it can only stay in the category of second-level talismans at best.
However, as the monks improve their cultivation, the purity of the true energy running in their bodies is also constantly improving.
The power of Gang Qi revealed from this will also increase with the tide.
It is said that some powerful Hunyuan realm monks, supplemented by certain Gang Qi secret skills, can even use Gang Qi to achieve power that is no less powerful than magic weapons and magical powers.
"Well, the purity of the true energy?"
"This should be solved with the help of master-level techniques."
"After all, whether you are in the Qi Training Realm or the Kaiyuan Realm, every time a skill is upgraded to the master level, it will have the effect of energy purification."
"If after breaking into the Hunyuan Realm, I can quickly advance the skills I have cultivated to the Grandmaster level, I think the purity of my true energy will also be greatly improved by then."
"Affected by this, the power of my Gang Qi will also be greatly increased. Coupled with the instant spell protection in the 'Heart Spell' mode..."
"By then, even if I am still in the early stage of Hunyuan Realm, I should have a strong ability to protect myself!"
As his mind turned, Gao Yuan became more and more looking forward to breaking into the Hunyuan realm.
…
The morning light is faint.
On the outskirts of the wild forest, a blue-grey figure shot out from the depths of the forest from far to near.
This man was of medium build and ordinary appearance. He looked to be in his early forties and was wearing an ordinary blue-gray robe.
It was Gao Yuan who set out early after changing his appearance through the disguise technique.
Today is the penultimate day of the end of February, and the auction held by the ‘Tiandong Chamber of Commerce’ will officially open in two days.
According to the tradition of previous years, before the auction begins, many monks will set up stalls to sell items in exchange for sufficient spiritual stones to prepare for the subsequent bidding.
Among the items for sale, there are often some rare items that are rarely seen.
And Gao Yuan was thinking about refining the 'Hot Harmony Pill' so that he could break into the Hunyuan Realm. The 'Five Elements Spirit Fruit' as the material was naturally indispensable, so he naturally would not let go of every opportunity.
Therefore, when he learned that starting from today, a special market would be opened in Qingliang City for foreign monks to trade, he couldn't sit still.
No, after he received the news last night, he set out early this morning.
…
While rushing on the road, Gao Yuan couldn't help but think of the information he collected from the Exile Alliance today about the 'Tiandong Chamber of Commerce Auction'.
By convention, this large-scale auction is held only once every ten years, and its duration is fixed for thirty days.
During this period, counting from the opening ceremony on the first day, every two days there will be ten major items including medicinal materials, spiritual materials, ores, talismans, puppets, spiritual beasts, elixirs, formations, classics, and spiritual treasures.
kind.
One auction is held in sequence, each lasting one day.
At the same time, during the two days between each auction, the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce will also come forward to provide special venues and transaction guarantees.
Provide all guests participating in the auction for free transactions.
In order to allow guests with insufficient spiritual stone reserves to have sufficient time to allocate and trade, so as to exchange for more spiritual stones to participate in subsequent bidding.
Therefore, whether it is an auction held at a fixed time and targeting different categories, or it is held between auctions, this kind of free trading market has a great opportunity to encounter rare treasures.
.
After all, no matter how well prepared the guests participating in the auction are, no one can guarantee that the spiritual stones they carry will be enough.
Once you encounter a few more treasures that are useful to you in the previous auctions, the spiritual stones stored in your body will naturally be consumed in large quantities.
In order to maintain sufficient bidding capital, it is normal to participate in subsequent auctions and use some resources that were not originally intended to be sold in exchange for spiritual stones.
Normally, the closer to the finale of the auction, the larger the scale of such private transactions becomes, and the chance of rare treasures appearing increases dramatically.
And this is exactly what Gao Yuan values.
Strictly speaking, although the 'Five Elements Spirit Fruit' he is bidding on this time is relatively rare, its level is only the corresponding Kaiyuan Realm.
Putting it into the previous auction records, it is really not worth mentioning.
After all, in this 'Tiandong Chamber of Commerce Auction', even the fourth-level top secret treasures corresponding to the spirit realm are emerging one after another.
Compared with the latter, the 'Five Elements Spirit Fruit' can only be regarded as an appetizer at best.
Therefore, his goal is not only the official auction itself, but also the private transactions between the auctions where guests set up stalls.
Therefore, he would rather leave three days in advance than miss any valuable items.
…
Gu Yan
Under the full force of the galloping curse, Gao Yuan's flight speed was very fast.
In just over an hour, he traveled more than a thousand miles.
It was almost seven o'clock in the morning, and the sun had slowly risen and hung diagonally in the distant sky.
Gao Yuan was suspended in mid-air more than a hundred meters above the ground, quietly looking at Qingliang City at the end of his field of vision.
Under the warm sunshine, the towering cool city tower is looming.
It is like a huge black dragon, winding at the end of the distant field of vision.
Almost four years have passed since he left Qingliang City and settled deep in the wild forest.
After years of separation, when Gao Yuan came to the outside of Qingliang City again, his feelings in Gao Yuan's heart were completely different from when he left.
Not to mention anything else, when he left, he had just entered the Kaiyuan Realm.
Up to now, he has gradually approached the peak of Kaiyuan Realm, and he is only one final step away from the higher realm of Hunyuan Realm.
In the past four years, due to concerns over the interests of the major families in Qingliang City, the struggle for interests has intensified.
Not to mention returning to Qingliang City, he rarely sets foot within a thousand miles of its surroundings.
Every time he went out to do business, he would rather take a long detour than easily approach the boundaries of Qingliang City, for fear that he would be involved in some trouble and would be unable to escape.
But fortunately, this time the Tiandong Chamber of Commerce is holding an auction here.
The latter itself has various forces from each city in the four regions, and is involved in it tacitly.
At the same time, behind a giant like the ‘Tiandong Chamber of Commerce’, there must be a more intricate and complicated background.
Therefore, during the duration of this auction, Qingliang City should be absolutely safe.
Not to mention those Hunyuan realm families competing for interests, even the lord of Qingliang City, during this period of time, I am afraid they will not dare to attack easily.
It was precisely because of understanding this that Gao Yuan dared to return to Qingliang City where the turmoil was gradually rising at a time when the relationship between the various families in the city was becoming increasingly tense.
Gao Yuan collected his soaring thoughts and didn't stop any longer.
His figure fluttered and shot out, flying towards the fourth east gate of Qingliang City in the distance.
…
It didn't take long for him to arrive at the fourth east gate of Qingliang City.
Compared with the various bloody and cruel scenes of mass destruction that he had discovered outside the city from time to time, the area near the city gate was much more peaceful and peaceful.
At the majestic city tower and the open city gate, various law enforcement members wearing black uniforms are neatly standing at their respective posts.
On the gravel road that leads directly to the city gate, there is an endless flow of all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, mixed with either luxury or ordinary cars.
At this time, Gao Yuan was still the middle-aged man with ordinary appearance. He was standing dozens of meters away from the city gate, and he was slowly walking towards the city gate with the flow of people.
Wherever he entered, whether it was the majestic city walls or the tall city gates, they were no longer damaged or different from when he left.
On the contrary, perhaps because of the upcoming auction, these city walls should have been carefully cleaned.
It looks much cleaner and tidier than when he first lived here.
I saw the freshly washed dark blue city bricks shining brightly under the sunlight, giving off a layer of green halo.
Still more than twenty meters away, Gao Yuan's heart suddenly moved.
He calmly looked at the tall and towering city wall in front of him.
With his keen spiritual sense, he felt a vague and heavy energy fluctuation from the latter.
"After my cultivation reached the peak of the ninth level of Kaiyuan Realm, my spiritual sense has improved a lot on the original basis."
"Previously, on the seventh level of Kaiyuan Realm, when entering and exiting other city gates, I could not feel this kind of obscure energy fluctuation."
As his mind turned, he directly activated the second-level Qi Watching Technique.
Under his special vision, he saw that these dark blue city walls were densely covered with mysterious and complicated strange lines.
Because the city defense formation is not fully operational, the halo of light flowing on the surface of these strange lines is also very obscure.
Despite this, from the density of light flowing from these haloes, one can imagine how amazing it will be when this array is operating at full strength.
Perhaps it's because the auction is about to start and there are too many outsiders coming from other regions and cities.
At the gate of Qingliang City, the original review procedures for entering the city have been cancelled.
Therefore, Gao Yuan did not use the procedure that he had found someone to handle before. The procedures were absolutely complete, but there was no Qingliang City Outer City identity token corresponding to a real person.
He followed the crowd and quickly passed through the gate and entered Qingliang City.
Wherever you look, flags and banners of various colors can be seen everywhere on the surrounding streets and pavilions along the roads.
At the same time, both the density of pedestrians on the street and the noisy and lively atmosphere were far higher than when he left a few years ago.
Gao Yuan walked along the street, and before he knew it, he came to the door of the small courtyard where he rented.
He did not stop here, pretending that he had come from the outer city to attend the auction and was visiting the city at this time, and passed directly in front of the small courtyard.
During this process, the power of his spiritual thoughts radiated out rapidly and spread towards the small courtyard.
At the same time, the scene in this small courtyard also appeared in his mind.
But he saw that all the details in this small courtyard, whether it was the layout of the courtyard or the placement of tables, chairs and furniture in the room, were no different from how he remembered them when he left.
"Um?"
Gao Yuan felt a little strange in his heart when he saw this.
When he left, he did not go to the housing management office to pay more rent.
The one-year rent he paid in advance when renting the house, even with the one-year rent deposit, was not enough for the housing management office to help him keep the house until now.
After all, more than four years have passed since then.
"Is it Chen Ziming?"
His heart moved. She knew that he lived here and could possibly help him pay the rent. After thinking about it, she was the only one.
"I don't know what they did with the people they killed when they left."
Thinking of this, his spiritual power moved slightly and spread towards the courtyard next to him.
