Chapter 152 Xuanshui Flag

After the green-robed monk left the square stage, several foundation-building monks came up to the stage to trade items.

There were many treasures among them, and one person even took out five three-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, which were exactly what Chen Yuan needed.

But after he bought the Duyun Boat, he only had 105 medium-grade spirit stones left in his hand.

These spirit stones seem to be a lot, but he still needs a top-grade defensive spirit weapon, as well as two rare spirit materials, the Silver Gang Stone and the Huan Yin Stone, and he is already a little stretched.

Moreover, Chen Yuan already had three bottles of Zengyuan Pills, sixteen Nanguan Pills, two Qingning Pills, and one Yuliang Pill. He was not short of pills for the time being, so he did not bid.

Apart from these five three hundred year old spiritual herbs, there was nothing else worthy of Chen Yuan's attention.

Someone took out a top-grade spiritual weapon, but it had no defensive capabilities, so it was bought by someone else.

Three hours later, most of the foundation-building cultivators in the hall went to the stage, but no one took out a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon.

At this time, including Chen Yuan, there were only a few people, and none of them had yet come on stage to trade items.

The monk in the bamboo hat was just like him, sitting on the cushion, but he offered a price to buy two rare spiritual objects.

Chen Yuan no longer sat and waited. After a foundation-building cultivator left the square platform, he stood up, stepped on the ground, and floated onto the square platform.

He first bowed to all the monks in the hall, then touched his storage bag, and seventy medium-grade spirit stones appeared in front of him. He said in a rough voice: "I want to exchange the medium-grade spirit stones for a high-grade defensive spirit weapon, or two medium-grade spirit materials, Silver Gang Stone and Phantom Yin Stone."

As soon as these words were spoken, many foundation-building cultivators raised their eyes and looked over.

The foundation-building cultivators who had come on stage before had all taken out treasures in exchange for spirit stones, or bartered items.

Chen Yuan was also the first person to take out spirit stones and purchase treasures.

Moreover, Chen Yuan had previously successively purchased the Fire Cloud Gourd, the Broken Moon Spear Talisman, and the Cloud Crossing Boat, and now he was looking to purchase a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon. His wealth was truly shocking.

After a while, a clear voice sounded: "I have a Mysterious Water Flag in my hand, which can cast a Mysterious Water Curtain. It has extraordinary defensive capabilities. Are you interested, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was wearing a green palace dress, with a light blue scarf covering her face, revealing a pair of bright eyes. It turned out to be a female cultivator. He immediately bowed and said, "Please show me yours, fellow Taoist."

The female cultivator in palace dress touched her storage bag, took out a small dark blue flag about a foot long, raised her hand and waved it, and placed it on the square platform.

With the presence of seven people including the wealthy monk, she was not afraid that Chen Yuan would take away the spiritual weapon.

Chen Yuan raised his hand to take the small flag, and looked at it carefully. There was a shadow of a black tortoise painted on it, surrounded by water ripple patterns, and it was flashing with a faint spiritual light.

He injected a trace of true energy and found a spiritual imprint in it, which should have been left by the female cultivator.

Chen Yuan did not touch the spiritual imprint, but only roughly sensed the restrictions within it and roughly understood the power of this flag.

It is just as the female cultivator in palace dress said, this Xuanshui flag can cast a Xuanming water curtain, which has an endless effect and has extraordinary defensive capabilities.

But this flag also has a drawback. It consumes a huge amount of true energy, almost as much as a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan frowned slightly and began to hesitate.

He had no shortage of spirit stones, but the reason why he only wanted to buy top-grade spirit weapons was because the best spirit weapons consumed a huge amount of true energy.

Moreover, the "Nine Transformations of the True Spirit" he practiced mainly focused on the physical body. Before refining the true spirit essence and blood, the true energy in his body was no different from that of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator. In fact, because he was a cultivator with five spiritual roots, he was even inferior to that.

If I buy this Xuanshui flag, it would go against my original intention.

However, apart from the fact that it consumes a lot of true energy, the defensive ability of this Xuanshui Flag is comparable to that of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Even because the water curtain has the effect of endless reproduction, as long as the true essence is not exhausted, ordinary foundation-building cultivators will never be able to break it. Compared with some top-grade spiritual weapons, it is still better.

Just as Chen Yuan was hesitating, the palace-dressed female cultivator spoke up, "What do you think, fellow Daoist?"

Chen Yuan's mind turned, and he finally made up his mind. He cupped his hands and said, "I want this Xuanshui flag. Please name your price, fellow Taoist."

He still didn't want to miss out on this top-grade spiritual weapon of excellent quality, so he decided to buy it.

Although this flag consumes a huge amount of true energy, Chen Yuan practiced both magic and body, so even if the true energy in his body was exhausted, he could still use the power of physical cultivation to fight the enemy.

Moreover, after he returns to the sect, he will practice hard behind closed doors, and his cultivation will be greatly improved. The consumption of true energy by the Xuanshui Flag should be reduced significantly.

Seeing that Chen Yuan wanted to buy the Xuanshui flag, the palace-dressed female cultivator's voice became much softer: "Daoyou only needs to take out eighty middle-grade spirit stones, and this Xuanshui flag will belong to you."

Chen Yuan frowned slightly: "Eighty spirit stones are a bit too much, how about seventy spirit stones?"

The Xuanshui Flag has extraordinary defensive capabilities. If we only consider its power, it is not excessive for the female cultivator in palace dress to ask for eighty spirit stones.

However, this flag also has the disadvantage of consuming true energy. In the hands of ordinary cultivators, it is no better than an ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon. The price of eighty medium-grade spiritual stones seems a bit high.

The female cultivator in palace dress said, "This Xuanshui flag has a very strong defensive ability. Moreover, I have seen that you have been generous before. Eighty medium-grade spirit stones should be nothing to you. If you are not willing to spend these spirit stones, you may not get this flag."

Chen Yuan frowned. It was clear that the female cultivator in palace dress took out the Xuanshui Flag because she saw in his wealth and the abundance of spirit stones.

If he wanted to buy the Xuanshui Flag, he would have to pay a premium of ten mid-grade spirit stones. Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this flag."

He stroked the storage bag, took out ten mid-grade spirit stones, and put them together with the seventy mid-grade spirit stones in front of him into a storage bag. He raised his hand and waved it, and sent it to the female cultivator in palace dress.

The Xuanshui Flag has extraordinary defensive capabilities, and Chen Yuan doesn't want to miss it even if he has to pay more spirit stones.

The female cultivator in palace attire took the storage bag, probed inside with her spiritual sense, then put the bag away without saying anything more.

At the same time, Chen Yuan's spiritual sense probed into the Xuanshui Flag and found that the gentleman's mark in it had disappeared. He only needed to go back and refine it a little before he could control it.

However, if you want to unleash the full power of the Xuanshui Flag, you still need to nurture it with care.

This flag should be one of the spiritual weapons commonly used by female cultivators in palace dress, which is why the mark of spiritual consciousness was left on it.

The Duyun Boat that Chen Yuan had photographed before did not have the imprint of the green-robed monk's consciousness on it. This was probably because Feng Luan's demonic power was backlashing and he did not dare to control the flying boat.

After Chen Yuan bought the Xuanshui Flag, he looked around and asked, "I want to exchange the spirit stones for two spirit materials, the Silver Gang Stone and the Phantom Yin Stone. Is there any Taoist friend willing to sell them?"

He waited for a while, and seeing no one answering, he did not stay any longer. He stepped on the ground, floated up, returned to his mat, and sat down again.

The Silver Gang Stone and the Phantom Yin Stone were indeed rare. Forty-six foundation-building cultivators with extraordinary financial resources gathered at the treasure gathering, but not one of them could produce these two spiritual materials.

After Chen Yuan left the square stage, three more foundation-building cultivators came up to trade items, and then no one else came up.

The monk in the bamboo hat sat upright on the cushion from beginning to end, with no intention of going on stage.

The wealthy monk stood up and walked to the square platform, bowed, and said in a loud voice: "The treasure gathering ends here!"

Afterwards, forty-six monks left the hall one after another every half a quarter of an hour.

Only then did Chen Yuan discover that there was not just one stone door in the hall, but three in total.

Only the stone door connecting to Cai Fu Zhai is the most obvious. The other two stone doors are much smaller and exist as secret doors. Their color is similar to the surrounding stone walls and are not easy to detect.

The foundation-building monks in the hall were divided into three groups and walked into three stone doors. Chen Yuan was in the middle and, under the guidance of the middle-aged monk, returned along the original route.

After leaving Cai Fu Zhai, he walked around the market for a few rounds to make sure that no one was following him. Then he took off his black robe and gauze in a remote corner, restored his original appearance, and returned to the Dizi Cave he had rented.

Chen Yuan gained a lot from this treasure gathering. He bought three top-grade spiritual weapons and a talisman in a row, which greatly enhanced his fighting ability.

However, the two spiritual materials, Huan Yin Stone and Yin Gang Stone, are rare and can only be searched for slowly.

Now he has all the spiritual weapons in his hands, enough to use until the late stage of foundation building, and the spiritual stones are almost used up. What he needs to do next is to return to the sect to meditate and improve his cultivation in order to deal with the demonic calamity.

However, today's treasure gathering has just ended. This gathering is quite famous among the foundation-building cultivators, and many of the participants are cultivators from outside Lingyun Market, which may attract robbery cultivators.

Out of caution, Chen Yuan planned to stay in Lingyun Market for half a month before returning to the sect.

During this half month, he managed to refine one Zengyuan Pill, and the true essence in his dantian increased, which was equivalent to a year of hard practice.

Chen Yuan silently estimated that if he did not take the elixir, it would take him another thirty-four years to cultivate to the peak of the early stage of foundation building.

This was also thanks to the fact that he had previously practiced in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, in an environment equivalent to a small spiritual vein for four years, which was equivalent to ten years of hard practice and accumulated a lot of true energy.

The spiritual energy in Donghua Continent is already scarce, and Chen Yuan is a cultivator with five spiritual roots, so it is particularly difficult for him to practice.

An ordinary foundation-building cultivator would have to practice hard for forty to fifty years before he could reach the peak of the early stage of foundation-building. Then he would have to face the threshold of the middle stage of foundation-building. It was unknown how many years it would take to break through.

If you want to go far on the path of Taoism, you not only need extraordinary talent, but also indispensable elixirs and external objects.

If one has mediocre talent, then one will have a chance of success only if one has a great opportunity.

On this day, Chen Yuan gave up the cave and went to Baoguang Pavilion.

Nie Ruyue did not purchase the Silver Gang Stone and the Fantasy Yin Stone. Chen Yuan spent five medium-grade spirit stones to buy two high-grade storage bags with a space of three meters.

Afterwards, he left Lingyun Market, rode on a beam of light, and returned to the gate of Lingyun Sect, preparing to practice in seclusion.

But when Chen Yuan landed in front of the cave entrance on Yunyin Peak, he found two sound transmission talismans hanging outside the restriction, flashing with a faint light.

He raised his hand, took the sound transmission talisman into his hand, crushed it, and heard two voices in succession in his ears.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan showed understanding on his face.

These two sound transmission notes were left by Yi Jin and Shen Danmei, who wanted him to refine elixirs.

He stroked his storage bag, took out a sound transmission talisman, moved his lips slightly, said a few words, raised his hand and sent it out, then returned to the cave and waited for Shen Danmei to come.

People have different levels of closeness and distance. Chen Yuan and Shen Danmei are both disciples of Jin Luoheng, so naturally he would refine pills for his fellow sister first.
