There were still a few days before the auction, so Long Yang decided to go shopping in Nanyang City.
In his spiritual consciousness, he realized that Nie Xin'er had fallen into trance on the sunny beach and had actually fallen into a state of enlightenment. Long Yang did not disturb her and left on his own.
It was already late at night when Long Yang came out, but Nanyang City was still brightly lit and noisy.
"Hey, have you heard? A Thousand-Year Overlord Flower has appeared on the black market, and now countless people are going to fight for it."
"I've heard about it, but with our strength, there's no chance at all. I'd better practice honestly."
Two demon cultivators from the Earthly Immortal Realm were chatting.
"Fellow Taoist, I wonder what the Overlord Flower you two are talking about is about?"
Long Yang transformed into an ordinary fat man with a Bianhua mask, looking very approachable.
"Don't you know about the Overlord Flower? It is the main material for refining the demon-repelling liquid. The century-old sacred forest is about to open again. Only those who possess the demon-repelling liquid are qualified to enter this sacred forest."
Long Yang was stunned. He had been living on Yaoxian Island and didn't know much about some of the monuments and secrets of this underwater world.
"I'm new here. I wonder if this fellow Taoist can tell me about this sacred tree forest and this demon exorcism liquid."
Long Yang smiled.
"Okay, if you like it, I'll tell you about it."
The demon cultivator wearing light yellow Taoist uniform said.
"Once upon a time, this boundless deep sea was the center of the entire world. At that time, there was no land, everything was born in the ocean, and countless terrifying and ancient beasts galloped in this ocean."
"Among the countless corals, an ancient tree was born. It is said that the ancient tree was formed from seeds dropped from the upper world, and it was born to be a god."
"The ancient tree grew from the bottom of the sea. After hundreds of millions of years of cultivation, it finally transcended the imperial realm, shattered the void, and became a god. The space where it was born and grew was later called the Divine Wood Forest Sea."
Long Yang was shocked.
"This ancient tree actually exists beyond the imperial realm! If the legend is true, then what terrifying treasures there will be in this sacred forest!"
"The ancient tree in the ancient times has infinite vitality. As it grows, countless terrifying monsters appear. Before it transforms into a god and ascends, he thanks the ocean for its upbringing. With a wave of his hand, he kills countless monsters and monsters.
The seal of the material and earth treasure split the entire space into a separate space, leaving my inheritance and many treasures there. This place is called the Shenmu Forest Sea."
"Countless accompanying monsters and rare treasures of heaven and earth are left in this sea of sacred trees, and the most precious thing is the inheritance of ancient ancient trees. It is also rumored that there is the purest source of wood power.
.”
Long Yang frowned slightly. Such a treasure should have been divided among the masters of the past ages. How could it be his turn?
"Fellow Taoist, according to you, there are so many treasures in this sacred forest and sea. It should have been controlled by those famous sects long ago. What chance do we, the casual cultivators, have?"
The demon in yellow smiled.
"You don't know, right? What is this ancient ancient tree? How can the treasures it leaves behind be so easy to obtain?"
"This sacred forest opens once every hundred years, appearing from under the sea and floating up. The strange thing is that every time it appears, it is very close to the Atlanta Trench. Therefore, every time it is unearthed, it will attract some powerful forces on the sea.
Come."
"And with the sacred trees being unearthed soon, and the auction in Nanyang City, it can be said that this is the biggest event in Nanyang City in a hundred years!"
"And there is one of the biggest taboos in this forest of sacred trees, that is, those who are above the Celestial Realm cannot enter! Not only can't they enter, but if they come within a hundred miles of it, they will be blasted to death by the divine power left behind by the ancient trees!"
Long Yang nodded. He really felt that this auction was too popular and the crowds were terrifying.
It turns out that the two events happened together.
Long Yang asked:
"Is this ancient tree really so powerful? After ascending for tens of thousands of years, the divine power left behind can still be invincible?"
The demon cultivator in yellow seemed a little angry and said:
"Do you dare to doubt the ability of ancient ancient trees? I saw with my own eyes a Daluo Jinxian who was killed by the power of ancient trees. I was still a child at that time. Unfortunately, a hundred years have passed, and I am just an earthly immortal. My life is approaching.
.”
"And I think the reason why the ancient tree left this rule that no one can enter above the Celestial Realm is because he expected that one day, the endless deep sea that gave birth to it would be weak and suppressed by the world above the sea level where hundreds of flowers bloom, so he specially gave it to us.
There is a legacy left behind at the bottom of the sea.”
"You can only enter below the Golden Fairyland. In this way, we in the Atlanta Trench can compete with the big forces on the sea. Therefore, the aborigines of our underwater world all respect the ancient trees very much."
"It is because of the sacred forest sea that every hundred years, some people in our Atlanta Trench can get some inheritance, which allows us deep-sea monsters to survive."
Long Yang suddenly realized and understood the reason why the demon cultivator in yellow was angry.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know the significance of this ancient tree to you aborigines."
The monk in yellow waved his hand.
"He who does not know is not guilty."
Then he sighed.
"Nowadays, the spiritual energy in the Atlanta Trench is getting less and less. Even the fairyland is rare. It is not as good as it used to be."
"I just hope that this time the ruins are opened, someone can get the ancient tree inheritance from it and lead the Atlanta Trench to regain its glory. As for who the leader is, I don't care."
Long Yang felt that this monk was not bad, and Tianlong Mansion was now employing people, so he said:
"I heard that there is a new Tianlong Mansion in Xihaigou, and they are recruiting talents. The master of the manor is wise and martial, and he treats his disciples very well. Brother, why don't you join this Tianlong Mansion?"
The monk in yellow sighed.
"It's not like I haven't joined a sect before, but most sects form gangs. Even if you join, you still won't get the resources. You might as well be a casual cultivator."
Long Yang smiled slightly.
"What if I tell you that I am an elder of Tianlong Mansion?"
The monk in yellow was stunned for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
"Brother, no, is what the senior said true? I still have many friends, but we are all casual cultivators with varying strengths. We are all people without a backing. We have nothing but our own lives.
Something."
"It's enough to have a life. Our Palace Master has also risen from humble beginnings. He has no support, but he has also made a name for himself in this underwater world with many sects. Therefore, he is particularly fond of us casual cultivators."
The demon cultivator in yellow was overjoyed and said:
"Nowadays, the major forces are ganging up to bully us casual cultivators. We have suffered from them for a long time. If there is a place for us casual cultivators to stay, it would be great."
Long Yang smiled.
"Don't worry, Tianlong Mansion is the home of casual cultivators. Just call your friends and go to Xihaigou."
The monk in yellow thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I won't participate in this auction. Anyway, I can't afford the good stuff. I'll go and ask my friends to join the Tianlong Mansion."
After that, he turned and left.
Long Yang looked at his leaving figure thoughtfully.
He just saw many strong men from Bitao Sect and Whale Palace on the road. The current Tianlong Mansion is like an infant in front of these giants, and these gangs all have a grudge against him. Now there are auctions and
The Shenwood Forest was about to open, and these gangs were held back by this incident, giving Long Yang and Tianlong Mansion some breathing space.
After this period of time has passed, they will never let Long Yang develop in peace. Now Long Yang has no choice but to unite all the forces that can be combined to enrich the strength of Tianlong Mansion.
After all, he will have to deal with some masters when the time comes, and the rest of the elders will have to rely on Wu Duo and the others.
Long Yang felt a bit over the top. He was young and energetic. In the battle when Qilin came out of the mountain, almost the entire power in Atlanta was offended by him.
"Forget it, I have obtained both the treasure and the skills. It is normal to encounter some hostility. If one comes, I will kill one. If there are too many, I will run away..."
Long Yang shook his head and didn't think too much.
He turned around and walked towards the black market. Soon, after passing through the portal, he came to the black market.
There are relatively few people here, but obviously there are many more experts.
"I don't know if this sacred forest is what the monk said. If it is, then I must go in and take a look."
Soon, Long Yang found that the crowd was heading east, and a group of people gathered in front of a street stall, making a lot of noise.
"Take a look, take a look. This is a King of Flowers that is rare to see in a thousand years. There is no shop like this in this village."
"As you all know, the Overlord Flower is the raw material for the demon-repelling liquid. Without this demon-repelling liquid, the endless tide of beasts in the sacred forest sea would be merciless!"
"The endless treasures in the godswood are beckoning to everyone. The centenary period has arrived, and the godswood is about to be unearthed. You must not miss it..."
The boss was a middle-aged man who kept boasting and made the atmosphere extremely lively.
Long Yang lowered his head and looked at the Overlord Flower. Aren't these just two seedlings? It looked like they were not even ten years old, but refining the demon-expelling liquid requires at least a hundred-year-old Overlord Flower. No wonder he didn't wait until the auction for such a rare item.
Sell.
It turns out to be a defective product!
"Boss, you are just a seedling. How many spiritual stones can you sell for it?"
The middle-aged man smiled obscenely.
"This is the Overlord Flower. Although it is a seedling, two plants put together can definitely be used to refine a complete bottle of demon-repelling liquid. And the demon-repelling liquid is in short supply at this special moment. One bottle is less than the price.
I captured a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"I am a kind person, I get what I pay for, two plants, no more, no less, a total of one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones! I pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
The pot immediately exploded below.
"Let me go, profiteer, the refined demon exorcism liquid only sells for one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, but he actually dares to sell this seedling for one thousand."
"Boss, is your face made of diamond? You still have the nerve to say you are kind, can we have some face?"
"Boss, if you make it cheaper, I will buy it. Your one thousand is too much."
The buyers were talking a lot, some insulting the profiteer boss, but some really wanted to buy because they wanted to negotiate the price.
"Can't you say that? The demon exorcism liquid does sell for one thousand medium-grade spiritual stones, but can you buy it? Is it in stock? I have it in stock. Two seedlings only cost one thousand. Think about it, right?
Good deal?"
"After all, a person has almost only one chance to go to the sacred forest sea once in his life. After passing through the Celestial Immortal, you will not be able to enter. Those who have not made a breakthrough will have almost no lifespan after the sacred forest is unearthed again."
"This is the only opportunity in life, why don't you all come and fight for it?"
"With this demon exorcism liquid, you can go to many treasures in the sacred forest sea. When the time comes, your cultivation will advance rapidly, thousands of people will admire you, and the day when beauties will take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms is just around the corner. Aren't you excited?"
The boss's words successfully aroused the fantasies of many people. A monk gritted his teeth and said:
"Boss, I only have eight hundred spirit stones. Just sell them to me. This is my entire net worth."
"No need to talk about it, even one less than a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones will not be enough."
After saying this, the middle-aged man sat down cross-legged. He had already said everything that needed to be said. The next step was to see if these people's desires and wallets were strong enough.
Soon, several monks who were about to live a long life lost their cool. The unearthing of the godswood was their last chance.
"I'll pay eight hundred and five hundred!"
"I'll pay nine hundred!"
"If you don't want to sell it, at least a thousand, otherwise, don't even think about it!"
The middle-aged man was still sitting. He could see that these people had fallen into lust and could not extricate themselves. Even if they borrowed money, they would still pay for these two worthless seedlings.
"Hey, dear friends, these are two seedlings that have not been around for ten years. It is impossible to make the demon-repelling liquid. He is here to fool you."
"Are you serious? His Overlord Flower seedling can't refine the demon-repelling liquid?"
"It's absolutely true. If you give me a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, I think ten middle-grade spiritual stones are too much!"
Long Yang said firmly.
"Where did you come from, you bastard? How dare you ruin my good deeds!"
The middle-aged man jumped up and stared at Long Yang with an angry look.
"Hey, let's break up. This boss is a liar."
"It turns out that the Overlord Flower seedlings cannot be refined into seedlings? Hey, this is my last chance. If I can't find the demon-expelling liquid, the sacred tree will be unearthed in the forest. This is my last chance."
"Forget it, keep this money to buy some life-extending pills. I don't want the demon-repelling liquid anymore..."
Suddenly, more than half of the huge crowd had left, and the last few elderly monks who were approaching their prime time left.
"I just told the truth. It's useless for you to stare at me. Everyone has left."
Long Yang smiled.
Although he did not know how to make elixirs, he still knew the properties of medicine very well. The seedlings were not mature at all and had low medicinal properties and could not be used as medicine.
"What do you want to do? I have no enmity with you, why do you want to ruin my good deeds?"
The middle-aged man had a gloomy look on his face, wishing he could kill Long Yang right now.
"Hey, calm down, I think you know that your seedlings cannot be used as medicine, otherwise you will definitely sell them at the auction in five days."
The middle-aged man said gloomily: "Where do I sell it? Am I a liar? What do you do to me? What is your purpose?"
Long Yang smiled and finally stated his request.
"Since no one will buy your seedling now, then sell it to me."
"I'll sell you a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, not even a penny less!"
The middle-aged man said angrily, he finally figured out that this guy wanted these seedlings, so he messed up his business so that he could buy these two seedlings at a low price.
"It's too expensive, you said. It's just a seedling. When the sacred forest sea is over this time, it will be worthless. I'm afraid you won't have that much life in the next hundred years, right?"
"Rather than let it rot in your hands, you might as well sell it to me. I'm still young and save it for the next time I go to the godswood."
Long Yang said with a smile.
The middle-aged man's expression softened. He knew that what Long Yang said was true. After a while, his seedling would be worthless.
"How many spiritual stones did you produce?"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Let's make friends, and I'll give you one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones."
"What? Are you kidding me?"
The middle-aged man was furious.
"I won't sell it anymore, no matter how much money I have! I'm so angry!"
Long Yang squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.
"If I read correctly, you are an alchemist, right?"
The middle-aged man was shocked and immediately started packing his things.
"I'm not an alchemist. I won't sell the herbs. I'm leaving."
"You've got the wrong person. I'm not an alchemist."
Long Yang smiled and pulled the man.
"I am not your enemy. On the contrary, I want to be your friend."
After saying that, a herb emitting silvery white moonlight appeared in Long Yang's hand.
The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw the herb in Long Yang's hand. That was not an expression of greed, but a kind of love from the soul.
