Volume 1: A Long Night Returns 82, Dreamy Dark Blue
"How do you say that?" Shen Manqing said calmly.
"In less than a month," the man said with a stern face, "there are seventeen states in the Li Kingdom, seven states in the Li Kingdom, and thirteen states in the Guo Kingdom, spanning the Three Kingdoms. In such a vast area, there are traces of the Heavenly Thieves Alliance. The merchants who are currently affected countless……"
"If the Shendu Cult is behind this," he looked at Shen Manqing, "their intentions must be extraordinary. Are you sure that Senior Sister wants to go against them?"
"How do you conclude that it is the Shendu Sect?" Shen Manqing was noncommittal.
"Feeling." The man said.
"Your feeling is right." Shen Manqing stood up, flicked her sleeves, and a bottle of wine flew towards the man.
The man's eyes lit up and he quickly drank it. He drank it in a few sips: "My feelings are never wrong."
Shen Manqing rolled her eyes at him: "I don't have much of the monkey wine brewed by Master anymore. How can you taste it when you drink it like this?"
The man said "hehe": "Sister, you are a woman, how do you understand us men? Drinking is all about having fun."
Shen Manqing smiled sweetly: "Although I am a woman, when it comes to men, I know much better than you."
"Oh?" the man said.
"Men are creatures where wildness and rationality coexist." Shen Manqing walked to the table, poured a glass of water and wine that the man regarded as horse urine, and drank it gently, "The wildness of men makes them always competitive. state; a man's rationality inhibits this state. The amount of wildness and rationality in a man determines what kind of person he is."
The man couldn't help but laugh: "For example, what am I like?"
"You?" Shen Manqing glanced at him and said with a smile, "You are only wild."
Hearing this, the man almost fell off the window sill. He smiled bitterly and said, "Senior sister, in your eyes, am I just a competitive idiot?"
"This is rare." Shen Manqing smiled.
"How rare is it?" The man was stunned.
Shen Manqing said: "Pure talent can reach the extreme, and extreme means powerful."
Hearing the words, the man chewed on the words silently. His expression slowly calmed down, "Senior sister, tell me, how did you get the news?"
"Song Manting captured several leaders of the Heavenly Thieves Alliance, and they were delivered just this afternoon," Shen Manqing said.
"That boy from the Shixuanmen?" The man couldn't help but laugh, "He's not high on your list of suitors. You can remember his name."
"Don't you remember that he is from the Shixuan Sect?" Shen Manqing said.
"You're a loser who can't break through even after using three jade-inducing pills," the man shrugged. "It's hard to remember even if you don't remember."
"But he is only twenty-three this year." Shen Manqing said, "Maybe one day an opportunity will appear and he will break through."
"Senior sister, do you like him?" The man couldn't believe it.
"All men in the world are the same. They are selfish and full of deceit." Shen Manqing stretched her waist lazily, "As a woman, you are not marrying anyone."
"This is not what you mean." The man said.
"Oh?" Shen Manqing said.
"Compared to the big world of the heavens, Dongli is too small." The man said meaningfully, "Senior sister is determined to be an immortal. Whether it is Qingjianmen or Qingcheng Mountain, they are just springboards in your eyes. Senior sister's ultimate goal is Above the Tianshan Mountains, outside the Three Realms, that represents the supreme power... Ouch..."
Before he finished speaking, the man swayed and suddenly fell off the window sill for no apparent reason.
"Kid, never think you understand women, it will make you suffer a lot."
Shen Manqing slowly put down the wine glass and said without looking back, "It's time to go to the venue, pack up after yourself, don't embarrass Qingjianmen."
…
At Xu time, Xie Qingyun rushed to Xiankelou on time. Due to the curfew, there were no pedestrians on the street, and Xiankelou was naturally closed. He came to the roof of Xiankelou, and after waiting for a moment, Wang Bo and Wu Xuanbin both arrived. The two parties briefly greeted each other, and Wu Xuanbin made a "please" gesture:
"Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
Xie Qingyun happily followed.
As Wu Xuanbin walked away, he said: "This is your first time to participate in such a grand event."
"Yes." Xie Qingyun said, "May I ask whether the transactions at the fair use seal jade?"
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking," Wu Xuanbin said with a smile, "Zhuan jade is so precious. The scale of this trade is not large, and this item is not used under normal circumstances."
Xie Qingyun somewhat understood. In the world of cultivation, seal jade is equivalent to silver in the mortal world. It can only be used in large-scale transactions between chambers of commerce. He has never seen anyone use silver coins since he traveled through time. This is proof.
He then asked: "How was that traded?"
"Just pay the check at the local bank." Wu Xuanbin said.
It turns out that coins in the mortal world are also common in the spiritual world. Xie Qingyun felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in his heart. He was happy because he had just made a lot of money, but he was worried because he didn't know the purchasing power of this money.
He soon put this little worry behind him and regarded participating in the trade fair as a way to gain knowledge. Who said that he was equivalent to a novice in the world of spiritual practice.
"But if it is a real treasure," Wang Bo suddenly added: "No one would be stupid enough to sell it for money. For example, the sword box prepared by my fellow witches and Taoists is all in exchange for what they need."
In other words, the actual purchasing power of copper plates is very limited.
Xie Qingyun thought of the dragon rope in his hand and wondered if it could be replaced with something useful. (At the same time, Daoist Wu sneezed in the Xijing Heavenly Prison)
"If you really want a treasure but there is no other person who wants it, seal jade will come in handy at this time." Wu Xuanbin said with a smile, "After all, seal jade is still very popular in the cultivation world, and all major immortal sects are very popular. need."
Xie Qingyun didn't understand, so he asked, and he humbly asked for advice: "Then how can I earn seal jade?"
Wang Bodao: "Similar to the mortal world, the Taoist Academy also has silver bounty catchers. As long as you pass the assessment of the silver bounty catchers, you can receive the reward order issued by the Taoist Academy. If you complete the reward order, you can obtain the corresponding number of seal jade. However... "
Xie Qingyun suddenly felt eye-opening, but at the same time he was also a little depressed. Huang Qiming didn't even mention a word of these important "knowledge points" to him.
Hearing that Wang Bo seemed to have something to say, he quickly asked: "But what?"
Wang Bo and Wu Xuanbin looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "But the test is not easy, and the reward order is not easy to complete. Let me tell you this, among my two families, there will not be more than five people who can pass the silver reward catcher test. Those who die every year There are more bounty hunters than completed bounties."
Xie Qingyun felt a chill in his heart. This is a business with a very high mortality rate.
Wu Xuanbin said: "Fellow Taoist, it is better not to try to attract jade if you are not at the second level."
Xie Qingyun nodded: "By the way, who is the host of this grand event, Fairy Manshu? When you two mentioned her, they seemed to admire her quite a lot."
Wang Bo smiled and pointed at Wu Xuanbin, "Let him tell you, that is the goddess in his dreams."
Wu Xuanbin gave a bitter smile and said: "Fairy Manshu's name is Shen Manqing. She was born in the Qingjian Sect, the largest immortal sect in the country. She is a direct disciple of the contemporary sword master. She once broke into the Poisonous Dragon Village by herself, including the second-level Eighteen masters, including the peak village leader, were killed one by one, just because they massacred a small mountain village on a whim. Three years ago, Yueshan Sanren Peng Buer lost his mind because of his obsession, and randomly slaughtered mortal gangs. That was a Fairy Manshu, a third-level master, fought against her with a single sword and defeated her miserably. This battle almost cost her her immortality, but fortunately, the Taoist Academy sent a drop of Yunling Liquid, which saved her spiritual roots."
"What a heroine!" Xie Qingyun couldn't help but praise her.
Si Nan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Where is she? Can I see her?"
"What did you do to see her?" Xie Qingyun asked curiously.
Si Nan glanced at him and said seriously: "Let you become her disciple so that I won't be afraid of being bullied."
"Miss Si Nan is so funny."
Wu Xuanbin laughed "haha", but when he saw Xie Qingyun thinking about the "feasibility", he suddenly stopped laughing: Is this person taking it seriously?
Wang Bo glanced at him and couldn't help laughing: "These two are wonderful people."
Wu Xuanbin thought so.
…
The four of them came to the end of a narrow alley. Wang Bo looked around, stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly on the gray wall, while explaining: "The conference venue is a dreamy dark blue. No matter what happens inside, it can't be heard." Outside, the Taoist temple has strict restrictions on Qi practitioners holding trades, and the first one is not to disturb the people."
Xie Qingyun's eyes were dazzled, and he saw that the gray wall suddenly disintegrated, as if it was spread out brick by brick, and a dark blue underwater world appeared in front of him.
When he walked into it, he felt as if he had entered an aquarium, but it was a hundred times more spacious than the aquarium. As soon as he stepped in, he immediately felt the pressure from all directions and the aura of mana with rich elements; All kinds of weird weapons and magical tools were coming and going next to them.
Xie Qingyun originally thought it was a bit weird to bring an umbrella, but once he got here, he turned out to be the most normal one among them.
There are various stalls on both sides of the road, and the shouts of stall owners and the counter-offers of customers converge into a noisy tide.
It's like a spacious square surrounded by a world of water.
Xie Qingyun was dumbfounded.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist," Wang Bo bowed to Xie Qingyun, "The duty of leading the way has been fulfilled. Next, the two of us are going to find something suitable for ourselves, so we say goodbye."
"Farewell." He bowed to Simon again.
"Thank you both very much and take my leave." Xie Qingyun quickly bowed in return.
"Farewell." Wu Xuanbin bowed with a smile, turned and left.
…
"Where are you going?" Xie Qingyun picked up Si Nan and said, "Don't run around. I won't care about you if you get lost later."
Si Nan looked at him in surprise: "You forgot, I will help you find Shen Manqing and ask her to accept you as her disciple."
"You're serious about it!" Xie Qingyun rolled his eyes. After thinking about it, he thought that it would be a bit unacceptable to ask someone who was about the same age as himself to be his master.
He came to a stall and saw this man placing various talismans and medicine bottles on the stall. He squatted down and picked up a talisman: "Fellow Taoist, how do you sell this?"
The stall owner was a middle-aged man. He looked at him and said calmly: "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, two golden talismans, and the remaining five."
Steal money!
