Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 156: How dare you kill someone in Xianghe Market

Gu Weiyuan lost the holy bones, but only sent one person back for revenge.

This is because he has a more important thing to do now and cannot spare any more manpower.

No one knew that Gu Weiyuan actually knew a fortune teller from Tianji Pavilion.
Moreover, the two of them are close friends. Although they are not blood brothers, they are as close as brothers.

Although the White Bone Sect has been suppressed by the three major sects in recent years, it seems that the living environment is very harsh.
But he was always able to turn danger into safety, and even accumulated considerable strength step by step.

It was because the other party provided him with a lot of valuable information.

The reason why Gu Weiyuan came all the way to the territory of Qingxiao Sect and brought almost all the foundation-building cultivators of Baigu Sect.

It was also because he received a summons a year ago.

The hexagram shows that he has the opportunity to break through to the golden elixir stage within the Qingxiao Sect.

For a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of foundation building, nothing is more important than breaking through the golden elixir.

As long as there is a slight possibility, we have to give it a try, not to mention that this information comes from the fortune teller of Tianji Pavilion, so it is extremely reliable.

Looking at the seven states in the southern region, Jindan cultivators are the absolute pinnacle.

No matter where he goes, he is a real person admired by everyone.

For Gu Weiyuan, the meaning of forming a pill is more than that.

Only when he breaks through the Golden Core stage, the revival of the White Bone Sect will no longer be a delusion, but a practical plan.

Otherwise, no matter how much capital he accumulates or how many believers he recruits, it will be useless.

A sect without a Jindan Zhenren in charge is nothing more than a group of rats in the gutter and evil ways that cannot be seen in the light in the eyes of those "famous and upright sects".

Only the Golden Elixir can fight against the Golden Elixir and gain the respect of the world.

"But where exactly is the level-breaking spiritual object?"

When Gu Weiyuan thought of this, he became more and more annoyed.

He has been searching here for a whole year, but still hasn't found any clues.

It should be noted that opportunity is not something static. Every day of delay may lead to new variables.

Therefore, Gu Weiyuan felt a little regretful for a while and then put the thought of the holy bones behind him.

He continued to command his men to look for opportunities for him to form a pill.

Xianghe Market.

Xiao Chen strolled along the street, feeling the prosperity of Hezhou.

After he came out of Zhuo Yu Zhai, he gradually walked to the east side of the market town.

Only then did I realize that there were street stalls in Xianghefang Market, but they were all concentrated in the East Market on the east side.

As soon as I stepped into the East Market, I heard familiar shouts.

"Fellow Daoists, please look this way! Specially crafted Qingshuang Jade Talismans are now available for sale!"

"The best Yongquan Pills are 20% off today. Only five bottles left. First come, first served. If you're late, they'll be gone!"

"Fellow Daoists, come and take a look! The fragments of magical instruments left behind on the front lines of Luoyan Mountain are all being sold at a low price. Buying one is a great deal!"

Xiao Chen stopped in front of the last stall.

I saw that the stall was filled with various fragments of magical instruments, and they were all very small.

The slightly larger fragments are as big as watermelons, but basically only a thin empty shell is left.

The smaller ones are only as big as a walnut, and it is impossible to tell what kind of magical instrument they came from.

"Fellow Daoist, one fragment only costs ten spirit stones. Would you like to try your luck?"

When the vendor in front of the stall saw him stop, he immediately started selling his product enthusiastically.

so cheap?

Xiao Chen asked curiously: "Interesting, how do you say that?"

The vendor immediately introduced, "Fellow Daoist, all the artifacts on my stall are fragments of magic weapons that were shattered by fellow Daoists from Luoyan Mountain when they fought against demonic cultivators."

"Many of these are fragments that fell from high-grade magical instruments, or even top-grade magical instruments."

"Of course, whether you can find them depends on your eyesight."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen roughly guessed how this thing was played. It was essentially a kind of gambling.

He asked, "But even if I buy the fragments, what good will it do?"

The vendor smiled and pointed behind him: "Fellow Daoist, around the corner is the Treasure House. They specialize in recycling broken magical instruments and valuable fragments, and use secret methods to recover useful spiritual materials."

"If you're lucky and get something good, you can exchange it for spirit stones there."

"All the scraps on my stall only cost you ten spirit stones. If you buy five, I'll give you one extra."

You know what, this game sounds quite interesting.

Xiao Chen had never seen such a way of playing in Lizhou. It was a rare day when he was in a good mood, so he went out to play and thought of taking advantage of the situation.

So he squatted down in front of the stall and carefully looked at the fragments of magical instruments on the stall.

"Fellow Daoist, there is a rule here that I need to tell you about first."

The vendor noticed his lack of experience and reminded him promptly, "We're playing with our eyesight here. You're allowed to look, not touch."

"If you think it's not clear, just tell me and I can bring it closer for you."

"But there's one thing: if you pick it up, you have to buy it. You can't refuse to pay."

This rule is mainly to prevent monks from directly testing the quality of magic tools through their magic power.

The Jubao Tower recycles magical instruments by relying on magical sensing.

Xiao Chen had no intention of playing dirty, so he took the initiative to ask, "If that's the case, then the Spirit Eye Technique can't be used, right?"

Unexpectedly, the vendor smiled and waved his hand: "Daoyou, as long as you don't do it, you can use other methods as you like."

Oh?
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "You said that."

However, he did not directly use the "Eye of the Spirit to Break Delusion" to investigate these fragments.

Since we are out to have fun, of course we have to try our luck first.

After looking around, Xiao Chen pointed at six fragments and said, "This one, this one, and those over there, bring them all to me."

"Okay, I'll give you fifty spirit stones for six fragments."

The vendor grabbed the broken pieces with his right hand, but extended his left hand first.

Xiao Chen took out fifty spirit stones and placed them in his hand, then took the fragment he had chosen.

He thought he had seen quite a few top-grade magical weapons and had some experience with this kind of thing.

Especially the fragments of top-grade magic shields or top-grade magic robes, these things are rarely seen in ordinary foundation-building stages, and he has seen them many times.

Therefore, I feel that the six fragments I selected are basically 60% to 70% reliable.

Who would have thought that after checking, except for the smallest piece which was a fragment of a mid-grade magic weapon, the rest were actually from low-grade magic weapons.

These fragments are not worth anything at all and can be considered a pure loss.

Hey, that doesn't make sense.

Xiao Chen didn't believe it and picked six more fragments.

This time it was a little better. Three of the fragments were from medium-grade magical weapons, and one larger piece was from a high-grade magical weapon.

Due to its large size, this thin piece is worth about twenty spirit stones, which means I lost thirty spirit stones this time.

Although he was still losing money, Xiao Chen felt that he had found some pattern.

This time he picked up twelve fragments at once, feeling that he would definitely make a fortune.

I didn't expect that after paying the spirit stones and taking a look at it, all the fragments were lost. Although eight of the fragments belonged to mid-grade magic weapons, I didn't know if they could be sold for ten spirit stones in total.
.
After all this operation, Xiao Chen actually lost 180 spirit stones.

Seeing that he had guessed wrong again, he immediately activated his spiritual eyes to check whether there were any valuable fragments on the stall.

For the rest of the people, it is basically impossible to judge the grade of the magic weapon fragments through the spiritual eye technique.

Because these fragments are really too small and have been processed by the stall owner in advance.

But the Eye of Truth is already powerful, and with the tenfold blessing of Hextech, it is naturally extraordinary.

Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he glanced at the stall, immediately and clearly identifying the original grades of these fragments.

Judging from the varying brightness of the spiritual light, there was only a fragment of a top-grade magic weapon on the stall, and it was placed at the stall owner's feet.

The number of remaining high-grade magic weapon fragments is slightly larger, but there are only fourteen pieces.

It accounts for less than half of the total 300 fragments.

As it turns out, it is basically impossible to earn spirit stones here by luck.

It just goes like the saying goes – not gambling is the best way to win.

Xiao Chen shook his head and stood up to leave.

Unexpectedly, when the perspective moved, I suddenly saw an exceptionally conspicuous blood red color in the colorful light.

He followed the light and saw that its source was a broken jade bead at the foot of the stall.

The jade bead itself is just an ordinary broken spiritual bead, most likely an embellishment from some top-grade robe.

But at this moment, under the cover of its own soft white light, there is an almost invisible red bloom.

What's happening here?
Xiao Chen took a step to the right and looked directly at the center of the cracked spirit pearl. The bright red light burst out, even making him feel a little dazzling.

Something is wrong, there is something wrong with this spirit bead.

"I want this, this, and the spiritual bead on top."

Xiao Chen remained calm, randomly selected five useless fragments, and took the spirit bead in his hand as well.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the spirit bead passed through the hands of the stall owner, it was replaced by a spirit bead taken from a high-grade magic weapon.

The other party actually switched the package!
Xiao Chen was so angry that he laughed.

Originally, he was thinking of accepting defeat, and even though he had seen other high-grade magic weapon fragments just now, he deliberately did not choose them.

After all, he came out to relax, so there would be no point in cheating.

If he hadn't seen the strange blood, he would have walked away by now.

Moreover, although the best magic weapons are expensive, this broken spirit bead is not worth much.

If such a bead is recycled normally, it is only worth fifty or sixty spirit stones.

Even if the stall owner took the spirit pearl away, he would still make a profit of more than one hundred spirit stones.

But he really didn't expect that the stall owner not only put a fragment of a top-grade magic weapon on the stall as a gimmick, but even broke the rules and used tricks.

It's really a bit too much to play with.

Xiao Chen directly picked up the swapped spirit pearl and questioned, "This is not the spirit pearl I just saw. How dare you swap my things?"

The peddler's face changed when he heard this.

But he wasn't nervous, but rather seemed to have been wronged: "Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

"I, Street Stall Zhang, have been setting up my stall here for 30 years. I always clearly mark my prices and never cheat anyone."

"You open your mouth and say that I switched your things. That's slanderous."

Then he changed the subject: "I know you must be feeling bad for not picking up any valuable fragments just now. But that's no excuse for you to talk nonsense."

"Since you are so young, I don't want to argue with you."

"If you have the guts, leave now. Don't cheat here just because you lost the bet."

In the last few sentences, he seemed very aggrieved.

Xianghe Market was crowded with monks today, and there were also many passersby nearby. Hearing the stall owner say this, they all looked over in surprise.

Under the guidance of the stall owner, they had a preconceived notion that Xiao Chen was desperate because he lost and wanted to blackmail others.

There was also some barely perceptible gossip about this, and it was obvious that someone was whispering behind the scenes.

Seeing people gathered around, the stall owner immediately became excited and shouted, "Fellow Daoists, please be a witness!"

"This young man from Lizhou simply didn't guess the valuable magical weapon fragments, but he actually accused me of switching things."

"I've been setting up my stall here for a while now. My regular customers all know who I am. I've never been unable to afford to lose."

After he said this, everyone believed it even more and the discussion became louder.

"Another desperate gambler."

"On New Year's Day, they're trying to extort money for just a few dozen spirit stones. Are all the foundation-building cultivators in Lizhou like this?"

"Hey, you don't know this, right? Lizhou is the poorest in the entire Southern Region. How can someone from a poor place be rich?"

?

The people around him talked more and more outrageous, and even escalated to the entire Lizhou monk community.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw that all the people he saw were local cultivators from Hezhou. None of them knew him, so they believed the stall owner's words without prior knowledge.

But it’s also true that if it were in Lizhou, the stall owner wouldn’t dare to use tricks.

I guess it was because I was a stranger he didn't know, so he wanted to swap the spirit beads to save a few spirit stones.

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to draw his sword, but hesitated.

These days are the New Year's Day, and even the Divine Fire Sect has temporarily suspended its attack.

Besides, he originally came out to play today, just to have fun, and didn't want to ruin his mood.

So he glanced at the stall owner coldly and warned, "I advise you to think carefully about whether you have switched my spirit beads."

"For the sake of the holiday, give it back to me now and I'll pretend nothing happened."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you, there will be a price to pay if you take something you shouldn't."

However, the stall owner just stood there with his neck stiffened and didn't take his warning seriously at all.

Instead, he whispered a threat: "Boy, I'm not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others."

As he spoke, he intentionally exuded the aura of a seventh-level Foundation Establishment cultivator: "You picked me to go wild today, but you picked the wrong person."

Then, he turned around and shouted to the people around him, "Fellow Daoists, come and see! The cultivators from Lizhou are going to show off their power in our Xianghe Market."

"Here on New Year's Day, you're relying on your power to blackmail me, a street vendor."

"From what I hear, he's going to fight me."

In front of the onlookers, he acted like a victim and insisted that it was Xiao Chen who wanted to bully him.

I have to say, this is quite something, and it's definitely not the first time he has done this.

If an ordinary cultivator came here, he would definitely suffer a loss today.

After all, the other party is not only strong himself, but also surrounded by his supporters.

If you really want to take action, maybe there will be help.

But unfortunately, the person he met today was Xiao Chen.
.
Zhang the street vendor's nonsense actually attracted people around him to echo his words.

"Don't be afraid, Lao Zhang. I don't believe we can be bullied by outsiders in our place."

"That's right. I won't allow a cultivator from Lizhou to come to Hezhou and bully people."

Some people also tried to mediate: "Oh, it's New Year's Day, why bother getting violent over such a small matter?"

"Young man, it's just a few dozen spirit stones, what's the big deal?"

Hearing everyone's support, Zhang Ditan even walked directly to Xiao Chen.

He proudly pointed his finger at his nose and said, "Boy, I...ho...gu..."

He had only said half of his words when a large amount of blood rushed up his throat, blocking the rest of the sentence.

Zhang Ditan's eyes widened, unable to believe that Xiao Chen actually dared to fight him.

He struggled to look down, and a wooden flying sword pierced his chest directly.

A brilliant golden light flashed on the surface of the high-quality robes worth five thousand spirit stones.

But at the heart, bright red blood flowed out along the sword edge.

Xiao Chen slowly pulled out the Donghua Thunder Sword, and with a light flick, he threw the blood and flesh on the sword onto the ground.

Zhang leaned back and fell directly to the ground.

He thought he had the situation under control, but he didn't know that Xiao Chen didn't take the words of the people around him seriously at all.

The most fatal thing was that he dared to walk directly in front of Xiao Chen.

At this distance, there was no time to activate any defensive spells, and all he could rely on was the quality of the high-quality robe itself.

Xiao Chen not only practiced sword techniques, but was also half a physical practitioner.

This sword is not only fast, but also carries tremendous power.

In this situation, a mere high-quality robe is completely unable to stop the piercing of a top-grade magic weapon.

Therefore, before anyone could react, Xiao Chen had already taken action and killed Zhang the street vendor.

"Boom~"

A broken magic bead fell out from Zhang's sleeve.

Xiao Chen reached out to pick it up and took a look with his spiritual eyes. It was the strange magic bead that had just been swapped.

Then he used the tip of his sword to pick up the storage bag on the ground.

It was not until this moment that the onlookers realized what had happened.

Some timid Qi-refining monks immediately turned around and ran away, fearing that they would be affected.

But more monks became angry.

A newly arrived foundation-building cultivator glared at him, "How dare you kill people and steal treasures in Xianghe Market."

Some people also took the opportunity to stir up trouble: "My fellow monks, he is a cultivator from Lizhou, he came to our Hezhou territory to kill people, he is simply bullying us Hezhou people."

"Surround this murderer and don't let him go!"

In the crowd, a local Hezhou late-stage foundation-building cultivator immediately drew his sword and said, "Surround this murderer! Don't let him go!"

Then more Hezhou monks responded, and for a moment there were at least dozens of flying swords pointed at Xiao Chen.

At the same time, someone ran to the center of Xianghefang City to inform the inspector stationed there by Lingyuan Sect.

"murderer?"

Xiao Chen looked around and found that those who were holding flying swords and shouting murderer were all local foundation-building cultivators from Hezhou, and most of them were in the early stage of foundation-building.

He pointed the Donghua Thunder Sword at the nearest person and asked, "Do you think I'm the murderer?"

The spiritual power surged, and purple lightning flashed on the Donghua Thunder Sword, and the terrifying pressure spread unscrupulously to the surroundings.

The cultivator opposite was only at the third level of foundation building, and he instantly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

He immediately put away his flying sword, turned around and hid in the crowd.

"you?"

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at the other person. The other person was oppressed by the momentum and immediately woke up. He put away his sword and retreated.

After all, although they were angry that someone dared to draw a sword and kill people in Xianghe Market,
But no one was really willing to fight with a late-stage foundation-building cultivator who possessed a top-grade magic weapon just for a stall.

Some people even put away their flying swords and stepped back slightly to show their neutrality when they saw that the situation was not right.

Only the cultivator in the late foundation building stage took a step forward.

He looked at the Donghua Thunder Sword, a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
But he shouted sternly: "No matter what, this is within the market."

"You killed someone here, you must give us an explanation!"

Xiao Chen picked up the spirit bead that had been swapped: "The evidence is right here. Why do I feel that you should give me an explanation?"

"Who is causing trouble here?"

A loud shout was heard, and Qiu Qichen, the inspector of Lingyuan Sect in Xianghe Market, rushed over.

He landed directly between the two of them, suppressing the aura of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment: "No fighting is allowed in the market. Any grudges must be settled outside."

Coming with Qiu Qichen were two cultivators who had reached the great perfection of foundation building.

One of them took a closer look and was stunned for a moment: "Xiao Chen, why is it you?"

This person was the foundation-building cultivator from Qianzhufang City and also the auctioneer of that auction.

This time he came to Hezhou, he happened to visit an old friend in Xianghe Market.

When I heard someone was making trouble, I came to support them.

I didn't expect to meet Xiao Chen again.

"What? This is Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

Qiu Qichen was shocked when he heard this. He had just been listening to the story of the Qianzhu Tower auction, but he didn't expect to see the real person when he turned around.

He immediately restrained his aura, smiled and bowed, "So it's Fellow Daoist Xiao, I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting you here today."

Then, he turned around and looked at the monk holding the sword.

His expression turned serious: "How dare you! Who told you to raise your sword towards Fellow Daoist Xiao?"

The monk who came forward was stunned for a moment: "Uncle, he committed a crime in public in the market, I..."

Qiu Qichen immediately scolded, "Shut up! What do you mean by committing a crime in public?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is clearly helping our Xianghe Market to clean up those swindling and cheating beasts."

"This is an act of chivalry!"

When someone went to inform him before, they had actually already mentioned the dispute here.

Before Qiu Qichen came here, he knew that this conflict was caused by spirit stones.

The moment he saw Xiao Chen, he knew there must be something hidden.

If he can afford the Wind and Thunder Swords, how could he possibly extort money from others during the New Year for just a few dozen spirit stones?

And as the name "Xiao Chen" spread.

Many local Hezhou monks around also exclaimed in surprise.

"So he is Xiao Chen!"

"Oh, I saw him in the monthly report just the day before yesterday. I didn't expect him to be so young!"

"So, what he's holding should be the legendary Wind and Thunder Sword, right? No wonder he can easily tear through a high-grade robe. It's truly a top-grade magical weapon!"

No further explanation is needed.

Some enthusiastic monks even took the initiative to tell those around them who didn't understand the recent rumors about Xiao Chen.

In this case, with the swapped spirit pearl as evidence, everyone quickly restored the truth of the matter.

Qiu Qichen also announced publicly that this was an act of punishing evil and eliminating evil.

Not only should we not blame them, but we should praise them.

Finally, he took the initiative to invite: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, please come to my humble abode for a chat."
