Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 55 Jindu
Tiedan sat among the corpses and rested for a long time, gnawing on the burnt venison. It was not until late at night, when the full moon was high in the sky, that he reattached his broken and severed arms.

After a bloody fight, with both arms broken and three people and three monsters killed, he finally managed to snatch half of the spiritual fruit.

But it's still worth it.

After all, it is a natural treasure that caused changes in the destiny of heaven and earth. If it were a piece of trash, who would fight for it?

Tiedan can now feel the magical effect of the spiritual fruit.

Relieve muscle soreness.

Well, I used the same "Blood Jade Skill" and "Dog-Shaped Fist" to force a burst of power, but I used it twice one after the other, and I feel the effect is quite obvious.

After killing the deer, my whole body was almost overloaded. My muscles felt like they were broken. I couldn't move for a while and even breathing was painful.

But after taking out the half fruit and smelling it, Tiedan felt the fatigue in his body disappear instantly. So he swallowed it without hesitation and fought with the two men for his life.

As expected, his energy instantly reached its peak! He could even forcefully activate the Blood Jade Power once more! His physical endurance was greatly enhanced!
Although his body didn’t feel tired, Tiedan’s head still hurt.

He didn't know if it was because half of the spiritual fruit was eaten that its efficacy was halved, but he didn't feel any calming effect at all.

Of course, there is no such thing as a pregnant woman...

Anyway, when they had rested for a while, Tiedan cleaned up the battlefield, picked up the pair of dragon and phoenix rings and the magic flag of the unknown wizard, and continued on his way towards Jindu City.

The remaining few dozen miles were relatively quiet. After all, it was not the time when rare treasures appeared everywhere.

They quickly climbed out of the mountains and found the highway, and Tiedan headed straight into Jindu.

As the saying goes,
From the Wangjiang Tower, I can see thousands of sails, and in the Qingyang Palace, the morning bells and drums sound

The narrow lanes of Qintai are covered with smoke and clear water, and the lychees are ripe on the hilltop after the rain

Cars and horses stopped at Duquan Bridge, and lights and shadows danced

A heavenly palace among the twelve kingdoms, thousands of households and gates enter Jindu
In short, the place is quite big and there are quite a lot of people...

Judging from the situation in the city alone, Kun State is more prosperous than Dui State.

After all, Liangzhou City is more like a large castle camp than a city. It is a gathering place for several clans with the Shi family as the core. They can close the city and defend themselves at any time. After all, Dui State has been the main battlefield of the Demon Palace and the Demon Cult in recent years. They often resort to war. Once a war breaks out, it will involve hundreds of thousands of people, with blood flowing like a river. The city defense is even more strictly guarded, and it is not uncommon for "spies" to be executed on the spot.

In comparison, Kun Country was much safer, the garrison was lax, and there was no curfew. The roads were crowded with people, and caravans of merchants and horses could be seen everywhere. In addition to the merchant groups heading north to the Central Plains, there were also barbarians from the southwest and aliens from Kunlun. From time to time, mythical beasts could be seen passing by on the road, and flying boats took off and landed. There were also many monks gathered here.

Although Tiedan didn't care much about the affairs of the Demon Palace, he knew roughly that because the Demon Palace's general had conquered the north, the southern demons took advantage of the Demon Palace's lack of strength to rebel, destroying the Li Kingdom and invading the Nanzong Kingdom. Therefore, Sanyuan's attention has now turned back, preparing to reopen the southern border. Now the army is gathering in Yunmengze to fight a big battle with the demons in the Li Kingdom.

As a result, many powerful families in the South Kingdom migrated to Kun Kingdom to avoid disaster, and Kun Kingdom was also following the orders of the Three Yuans, conscripting civilians to reclaim land and open roads, training soldiers for war, gathering military supplies, and building warships. By then, they could march out to the South to support Li Kingdom and encircle it on three sides, or they could retreat down the river to the east to support the war in Yunmengze.

Although Kun State was also recruiting soldiers and preparing for war, it was still a long way to go. Moreover, with such a natural barrier, no matter how hard they fought, they could not reach Jindu City. Instead, merchants from various countries were attracted here, and business in the city became more and more prosperous.

"Qingyang Palace, is this the place..."

According to the booklet given by Senior Brother Zhou, the rules of Kun Kingdom Demon Palace require that outsiders who want to enter the city must first go to the Bawan Qingyang Palace in Jindu City to hand in their Taoist certificates and magic talismans.

This Taoist temple was originally named Qingyang Temple. The masters of all generations were appointed by the king and the magicians who protected the country. Gradually, it became an official institution of Kun State, specializing in managing the immortal register, recruiting magicians for offerings, and training the young generation of Qi practitioners in Kun State. It is similar to the Imperial College for cultivators. It is also an important place for maintaining the feng shui of Jindu City and managing the key points of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth. Foreign cultivators can register for the sect's immortal register, stay in the temple to practice, and draw money for offerings.

Of course, the Sword Sect is a demonic sect, and Tiedan has not yet visited the sect and has never received a certificate. If you really count it, it is simply a side sect among side sects, a miscellaneous cultivator among miscellaneous cultivators. There is no house to live in when he comes, so there is no need for him to abide by the rules.

However, the place where monks live together is the center for monks to gather and trade. Many families also bought houses in the nearby school district to facilitate their children to go to school nearby and seek the truth in Qingyang Palace. There are naturally shops and clubs selling magic weapons and trading materials nearby. It is equivalent to the city center of Jindu City, and it is very easy to find.

Of course, the residence of the Six Gates' Left and Right Supervisors is naturally also in the Qingyang Palace, to prevent any thieves from causing trouble here. It is a good opportunity for them to go and see the immortal thieves wanted by the court, hand over the reward for their heads, and exchange them for some money to spend.

By the way, I heard from my senior brother that Chen Huzi is at the top of the list of the Central Plains countries. I don't know how many dirty jobs he has done for me. He is probably an extremely difficult immortal thief like Tianzi Jiajia. If he goes out to buy an elixir, he will meet nine enemies who want to kill his entire family. That's why he brought his disciples to a remote place like Guangxia Mountain to establish a sect and forge swords in seclusion.

But anyway, no one said that the immortal thief with a bounty on his head couldn't come to claim the reward, so the expenses of the mountain were actually supported by the bounty...

Anyway, when I arrived in Jindu, the first thing I did was of course to buy a sword.

Tiedan was too lazy to look around, so he just went to the entrance of Qingyang Palace, where a bright light was shining into the sky and it was the largest store in Jindu. He fell in love with the store after just one glance.

Tiedan: "This one is good."

The shopkeeper also jumped out, just as elusive as Kun.
"Young man, you have good eyesight! This sword! It's three feet and six inches! It's in the shape of an eight-foot suit! It was mined from the gold in the Imperial Mountain! It took thirty years to forge!

Cut cattle and horses on land! Smash swans and geese on water! Cut through the enemy! Cut jade like mud! The blade is green and bright! It is as white as frost and snow!
Jian Ming! Qing Shuang! "

Tiedan: "Okay!"

The shopkeeper said, "I'll give you three million eight hundred thousand coins."

Three hundred... Tiedan had a blank expression on his face. "I don't have that much money."

The shopkeeper turned and left, "Young man, take your time to read it."

Tiedan quickly grabbed him and followed his senior's instructions.

"I have something good that I found, take a look."

"Picked it up?"

The shopkeeper turned around and saw that there was no one around. Although there were people coming and going on the street, no one came into the store. So he asked in a low voice,
"old?"

"The same old same old."

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

"Then the guest will follow me."

The shopkeeper was also quite experienced. He took Tiedan to the backyard and went into a side room to check out the goods.

Tiedan also put out a bunch of mirrors, rings and bottles like a street stall for him to see.

The shopkeeper looked left and right, and shook his head.
"Dirty stuff, worthless."

Tiedan was not angry. After all, when doing business, people would definitely bargain for him. Moreover, his senior brother had estimated the price for him in advance. These magic weapons were not bad, except that they were too dirty. Each one of them was used by others for personal use and carried the sect's exclusive imperial treasure restrictions, talismans, seals and incantations. Therefore, only people from the same sect could wield them.

But can you sell the magic weapon you picked up during a robbery to the family of the deceased? Wouldn't that be a bit foolish...

Therefore, it would be better to just recycle those dirty and old stuff and forge them again.

The shopkeeper was clacking away on his abacus.

"Tsk tsk, young man, you can pick up so many things, you must be a disciple of the Demon Sect, and the elders asked you to come out for training. I dare not offend you, so let's spread it out and count the items.

Of all your things, this pair of dragon and phoenix rings is the most valuable, but it is too rare and too hot to handle. Only a few families use it, and usually they practice together. I can only offer 1,200 strings of cash at most... for one. If you don't agree, go find another family.

This flag is the least valuable, what is it for? This kind of flag is made by ourselves, no one will buy it from other places. Look, this is the secret formation of Magu Mountain. This family is very troublesome, I dare not accept it.

The golden rope is okay. It can be used to kill people and rob goods, catch thieves and take the stolen goods. It is a great artifact to have on hand when you are out. However, the seal on the rope is a talisman from the Immortal Palace, so it can only be sold to servants. Those guys are all paupers, and I can't sell them at a high price. I'll take it from you for 500 strings of cash.

This jade mirror is a rare treasure. It can be seen that it was refined using a secret method passed down from the palace. It is specially used to reflect swords. However, not many people can use this secret. I am afraid that the mirror will be covered with dust and I don't know how long it will take before I can sell it. The most I can give you is 380 strings of cash.

The rest of the needles, whips, and bottles are all inferior products. One hundred strings of cash will do. These flesh and bones are useless to me. You can sell them in the market.

Oh, this beast horn is okay to hold, it can be made into a knife handle, I'll give you two hundred strings of cash, what do you think? "

Tiedan was a little confused.
"I have a bunch of stuff, but I can only give you a sword?"

The shopkeeper said, "No, you still owe me twenty strings of cash."

Tiedan took a deep breath and told himself to remember his senior brother's teachings and suppress his killing intent.
"Tell me more."

Shopkeeper, haha.

"Young man, you look very murderous. My Qizhen Puyutang has been doing business in Jindu for 500 years. Our goods are genuine and we never cheat anyone. How could I owe you such a small thing?

It's a pity that my sword has been forged through thousands of hammerings and has been hanging on the wall for twenty years. The people in the world are all mediocre, and no one has the wisdom to recognize a hero.

Do I sell it to you for three copper coins just because you are poor?
What do you think of a sword?"

Tiedan glared at him.

"I'm not asking you to sell me for three coins. I'm asking you to sell me for three million, seven hundred and eighty thousand coins."

The shopkeeper and Tiedan stared at each other for a long time, but they couldn't beat him, so they rubbed their eyes and shook their heads.

"Forget it, there is no one else in this world who uses swords except you. So let's do this.

Help me kill someone, and I'll give you these twenty strings of cash, how about that?"

Tiedan was silent for a moment.

"Kill someone."
