Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 203: He wants to run away after getting a million spirit stones!
"Please wait a moment, my dear guest. I will go get the battle flag."

The Hanhai Ring was too valuable, so for safety reasons it was placed in a small defensive formation and connected to the overall formation of the Wanxian Tower.

After all, under normal circumstances, such treasures are for guests to admire, and it is not expected that any casual cultivator can afford them.

Considering that almost all major sects have their own weapon refiners, the Xilai Ring is the main target of sales.

The Hanhai Ring has been on display here for more than ten years, and it has only ever received exclamations like "It's so expensive" and "Wow".

The manager really didn't expect that the day would come when it would actually be sold.

He hurried to the warehouse at the rear and began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, looking for the matching battle flags.

Upstairs, the receptionist invited Xiao Chen to take a rest in the tea room.

"No, I'll just take a look at something else."

Xiao Chen waved his hand to refuse and began to tour the rest of the treasures.

They were on the sixth floor at the moment. Although the things that could be placed on the same floor as the Hanhai Ring could not be said to be rare treasures, they were all worth a fortune.

Half the items didn't even have prices listed.

The other half looked around and couldn't find anything that cost less than ten thousand spirit stones.

On the square table on the left is a bottle of Snow Lotus Immortality Pill, one pill costs 60,000 spirit stones.

It is said that the first time a Jindan cultivator takes this pill, his life span can be extended by three years.

On the square table on the right is a box of gilded Thousand Silk Honey, priced at 88,000 spirit stones.

Xiao Chen walked over and looked at the label carefully. It weighed about three taels, the same as the box he had received before.

He originally thought it was worth only 60,000 spirit stones, but he didn't expect it to be sold for 80,000.

Going further to the right is a dish of Lishui Orbs, which are common third-level water-based spiritual objects, each worth 30,000 spirit stones.

Next was a Lingji Suzaku Bi, four inches in size, just a circle smaller than Xiao Chen's.

The label below clearly reads 188,000 spirit stones!
My goodness, judging by this situation, his piece would probably have to be sold for 250,000 spirit stones.

Of course, Xiao Chen would definitely not choose to sell it, but planned to keep it for himself.

Apart from these rare spiritual objects.

There is also a large bookcase on the sixth floor, which contains many common spells.

The so-called universal spells refer to those spells that have no requirements for spiritual root attributes and can be practiced by anyone.

Xiao Chen also noticed that each spell book only recorded an opening chapter and some general outlines to help cultivators understand its type and general function.

The specific spell content is stored in the jade slip and needs to be purchased before it can be used.

He picked out and flipped through several yellow-level spell books.

I found that there were both second-level spells and many third-level spells, and they were all quite functional.

For example, the "Five-Color Spirit Eye Technique" can help cultivators strengthen their eyes, and has a similar effect to the "Spirit Eye that Breaks Delusion".

For example, the "Innate Qi Capturing Hand" can transform into a pair of spiritual hands to carry heavy objects and even capture enemies.

Another example is the "Xuan Zong's Secret Method of Harmony", which is an exquisite disguise technique.

By adjusting the fluctuations of one's own spiritual power, one can coordinate with the surrounding environment or create interference instead, thereby obscuring the detection of spiritual consciousness.

There are five major realms: initial understanding, slight success, perfection, pinnacle of perfection, and perfection in skills.

As long as one can cultivate to a certain level of success, he can resist the spiritual detection of cultivators at the same level.

If one can cultivate to a state of perfection, he can even block the detection of the spiritual sense of a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage.

After reading the general introduction, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.

This is good stuff!
If he practiced this secret technique, he would definitely be able to effectively improve his ability to survive.

Not to mention that it is far away, there are many fourth-level monsters in the Eastern Region, which may pose a threat to him.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chen originally planned to obtain some useful third-level spells and body refining inheritance in the Eastern Region.

Since we happened to meet today, let’s take it down together.

After taking a look at the label, I found that the price of this "Xuan Zong Synchronous Secret Method" was as high as 100,000 spirit stones.

To be honest, it is indeed a bit expensive to sell a single spell at this price.

After all, subsequent cultivation requires an investment of time and more resources.

But it didn't matter. He had obtained so many spirit stones from the Cang Yan Sect anyway, so he didn't feel bad about spending them.

The expenses of this event will be paid for by Jin Jian Zhenren.

And since he was already here, he asked the receptionist waiting nearby, "Why don't I see any third-level inherited skills?"

The other party saluted and said: "The inherited skills involve the foundation of the cultivators, and should not be known to others."

"If you wish to purchase any techniques, please move to the quiet room."

If a monk purchased a certain spell, even if the news leaked out, at most he would lose a useful trump card, but it would not necessarily lead to his death.

However, when it comes to fundamental skills, if they are exposed and targeted by the enemy, your life will be in real danger.

Therefore, most independent cultivators are very wary and hope that as few people as possible know about it.

It is for this reason that Wanxian Tower has a separate quiet room.

In this way, the risk of leakage can be minimized.

This makes the independent cultivators let down their guard and be willing to come and buy.

After hearing this, Xiao Chen thought about it for a moment and immediately understood. He couldn't help but sigh that the system of Wanxian Tower was really thoughtful.

Of course, he himself has never been too afraid of this.

After all, even if one's own skills were leaked, it would only provide the enemy with wrong information.

Whether there is Hextech enhancement or not is a completely different concept.

However, not being afraid is one thing, and Xiao Chen did not act eccentrically. Instead, he followed the guidance of the receptionist and went into the quiet room.

There is a steward who is responsible for guarding the door of the quiet room.

As soon as they met, he handed Xiao Chen a list: "This is the list of items at the beginning of the year, please take a look first."

"If there's something you like, please keep it in mind and we can go into the inner room to trade."

This list not only records the inherited skills, but also some special elixirs and special spiritual weapons.

For example, just one drop of the "Butterfly Fairy Water" is enough to poison a third-level monster to death.

For example, by stimulating the true essence, one can release the Gengjin divine thunder to resist the Five Elements Divine Thunder Pill of the third-level monster.

Its power is no less than a full-strength attack from a Lei Xiu in the late Jindan stage.

Another example is a blood tracing compass that can locate the specific location of family members within a thousand miles by simply adding a drop of the other person's blood.

Or there is a scented powder that can emit a special scent within a radius of a thousand miles just by applying it on your companions, helping everyone not to get lost.

Anyway, on the surface, they are all very normal things.

Although the buyer may not necessarily use it in the manner described above, that has nothing to do with Wanxianlou.

I have to say, even in this regard.

The Eastern Region still has a lot more variety than the Southern Region.
.
Xiao Chen carefully browsed through the list and got a general understanding of these methods.

However, he had no such needs, and finally chose only a yellow-level body refining inheritance "Nine Transformations into Dragons", which was worth 180,000 spirit stones.

The creator of this technique comprehended the secret of snake shedding its skin and observed the body of a real dragon.

Finally, the nine stages of transforming from a snake to a dragon were summarized and used to train the body.

According to the records in the general outline, as long as the practitioner completes nine transformations, he will have the power to rival a real dragon.

The only problem is that this technique is a bit difficult to practice.

The creator himself spent his entire life, and only before his death did he break through to the ninth metamorphosis and enter the great perfection of the golden elixir.

No one has been able to reach this step since then, so it is hard to say what the true power of the Ninth Transformation is.

But it’s not a big problem. With Hextech, Xiao Chen’s training speed can be increased a hundred times.

Moreover, he practices both physical and magical skills, so even if his progress in physical training is a little slower, it will not affect his ability to obtain Hextech.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to choose a martial art with a higher upper limit, as it might have miraculous effects someday in the future.

Since he had bought the body refining technique, Xiao Chen did not forget to inquire about the flesh and blood of monsters.

How can you get the same fragrance as food supplements by practicing hard on your own?

The female receptionist standing by looked at him with eyes that were almost tearing when she heard what he said.

When leading the way, his waist twisted like a water snake.

Wanxian Tower naturally also has the flesh, internal organs, and bones of third-level monsters, but most of them are various sea fish.

Although there are many land monsters in Xilai Country, their cost-effectiveness is very low.

Firstly, there are fewer monsters on land, and things are valuable because they are rare.

Secondly, many marine fish are large in size and can naturally produce more monster meat.

The same is true for the meat of a third-level monster. The cheapest land monster meat costs twenty spirit stones per pound.

Not only does the cheapest sea fish only cost ten spirit stones, but if you buy more than 100 kilograms at one time, you can get a 10% discount, and if you buy 1,000 kilograms, you can get an 20% discount.

It only costs eight spirit stones per pound, which can be said to be quite cheap.

Just at this time, the manager brought the Hanhai Ring.

Xiao Chen immediately pointed at the spirit fish in front of him and asked, "If I buy a lot at once, can you give me a lower price?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "If you want spirit fish meat, no matter what kind or how much you buy, you can get it at a 30% discount."

For big customers, he has the right to decide on such discounts himself.

"Okay, then give me 100 kilograms of each type of sea fish here."

Since there is such a discount, Xiao Chen plans to try each of them.

Just in time to see which one tastes better.

There are a total of 37 kinds of sea fish here. The original price is more than 44,000 spirit stones. After a 30% discount and a few more zeros, it only costs 30,000 spirit stones.

"This is the White Jade Order of this building."

After paying the bill, the steward handed over a token with both hands and said: "No matter which branch you go to in the future, as long as you show the token, you will receive the best hospitality."

Xiao Chen took it and put it into his storage ring.

I immediately felt much more comfortable.

The Hanhai Ring is three meters square, which is one hundred and twenty-five times larger than his original six-foot storage bag!
Not only did it allow him to easily free up the eight storage bags on his waist, but it was also more than enough to carry another 3,700 kilograms of sea fish.

It is foreseeable that there will be a long period of time in the future when we won’t have to worry too much about the things we have.

It can be said that it is worthy of the name Hanhai.

Now that I have the storage ring, I have achieved the first of the three major goals of coming to the Eastern Region.

Next, it’s time to go to the Baicao Secret Realm.

However, Xiao Chen did not leave the imperial capital in a hurry. Instead, he slowed down his pace a little and appreciated the customs and culture of the Eastern Region while walking.

The entire imperial capital has a population of tens of millions and is the most prosperous city in the world.

There weren't many places like this in the Eastern Region, so there was no need to rush. The shops along the street were diverse, and in addition to the usual shops, there were also specialized places for entertainment such as poetry, wine, song, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Of course, there are also various brothels, theaters, prostitutes, chambers and other places of beauty and romance.
.
The prosperous scene made Xiao Chen dazzled. He walked along East Street for a full hour before leaving the imperial capital.

Xilai Kingdom is still 500,000 miles away from Jingkong Sea.

So he spent another six days, and when the early March spring breeze blew across the earth, he finally arrived near the Jingkong Sea.

It was just noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Standing on the clouds and looking far ahead, you can see the shimmering waves and shadows of clouds, the sea and the sky blending into one, the blue sky is clear and cloudless. No wonder it is called "Jingkong".

However, the only drawback is that the seashore is heavily guarded and lined with runes.

A large number of monks traveling back and forth lined up in two long queues, squeezed in front of a checkpoint and were forced to undergo inspection.

There are four such checkpoints, blocking four relatively safe sea routes.

Unless the independent cultivators dare to venture into the territory of a third-order demon beast or even a fourth-order demon, there is nowhere to hide if they want to enter or leave the Pure Sky Sea.

The three major families mobilized a large number of people, and even the Jindan cultivators were no exception.

"What exactly are they investigating with all this fuss?"

Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. None of the previous travel notes mentioned such a thing in the Eastern Region.

Moreover, I had heard so many stories about Yucha Zhenren before coming here, but I had never heard of a similar situation.

He moved a little closer, and with a thought, his spiritual sense spread out, observing the situation in advance.

There was a big flag flying in front of the checkpoint with a big word "Zhao" written on it, which obviously represented the Zhao family, one of the three major families in Jingkonghai.

And below, there was a wanted poster that was ten feet high.

There was a one-to-one portrait painted on it, but the face was a little blurry, as if obscured by mist.

"So they're catching wanted criminals."

Xiao Chen immediately understood and was curious: "Why does he look familiar?"

His spiritual sense swept across the text below, and he suddenly saw a very familiar name written in red on a white background - Chen Xiao!
There are three lines of small text below:

This person has reached the late stage of foundation building and is suspected to be a cultivator with wood spiritual roots.

Anyone who provides valid clues will be rewarded with 100,000 spirit stones after verification!
Anyone who captures the person alive and sends him to claim the bounty will be rewarded with one million spirit stones on the spot!

???

Xiao Chen paused.

Wait, isn't that me?

There is no doubt that the clothes on the wanted poster are the same ones he wore in Xuantian Fairy Palace.

hiss~!

Xiao Chen frowned immediately. What does the Zhao family mean? Are they interested in his inheritance?

Back then in the Xuantian Immortal Palace, Zhao Yangming tried to interfere with his comprehension, but was thrown out by the palace.

It seems that this person is still harboring evil intentions.

It's been so long since I entered the Immortal Palace, and they're still looking for me.

Moreover, they specially set up such a checkpoint, not hesitating to interfere with the normal entry and exit of other monks, and put up a reward of one million, which really cost a lot of money.

Is it really necessary to do this?
However, it is obvious that the facts before us have proved that the three major families all believe it is necessary and have already taken practical action.

Dry!
Xiao Chen cursed in his heart, turned around and flew backwards.

Since he had already seen the checkpoint ahead, it was naturally impossible for him to take the initiative to go forward and expose himself.

Fortunately, he discovered it early. As long as he turns back to the imperial capital and buys a disguise technique, he should be able to solve the problem of the level.

As for whether there will be any problems later, the worst that can happen is that we will just deal with them as they arise.

However, checkpoints naturally do not only have visible guards, but also matching secret guards, which are rotated every three months.

The person on duty this season is Zhao Hongwen, the Jindan cultivator of the Zhao family.

He hid in the cracks of the rocks on the top of a mountain a hundred miles away from the checkpoint, monitoring the movements of the monks coming and going.

Seeing Xiao Chen standing still from afar, he immediately became suspicious.

Seeing him turn around and come back, and his figure was extremely similar to Chen Xiao, he was suddenly shocked - he caught him!

You know, the million-dollar bounty was offered jointly by three parties, and it also applies to him.

Zhao Hongwen was delighted at that time, and rushed out of the crevice in a hurry, ready to stop Xiao Chen to receive the reward.

However, the next moment, he was surprised to find that the other party's speed was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators.

He was just about to reach out to intercept, but before he could even shout, Xiao Chen had already passed by him like a meteor.

Oh no, he wants to run away with the millions of spirit stones he got!

Zhao Hongwen became anxious instantly. He stretched out his hand and quickly took out the double cloud-piercing spirit shuttle given by his family.

The Cloud-Piercing Spirit Shuttle is a specially made spiritual weapon.

Its main function is to multiply the monks' mobility, making it easier for them to cross the thousands of miles of sea in the Eastern Region.

Zhao Hongwen skillfully urged a large amount of true energy to be injected into the Cloud Piercing Spirit Shuttle, and he immediately turned into a beam of white light and chased after it.

Xiao Chen was originally controlling his speed and quietly moving away from the crowd.

In order not to attract attention, he deliberately suppressed his speed.

Unexpectedly, a white light was chasing after him from behind, obviously heading towards him.

Obviously, he has been exposed.

Considering that the enemy's situation and number are unclear, it is not advisable to stay here for long. Among the thirty-six strategies, retreat is the best.

Thinking of this, he immediately used "Chasing Stars and Catching the Moon" and his speed immediately doubled.

In order not to completely expose his escape speed, Xiao Chen deliberately held back and only used 80% of his strength.

Even so, the gap between him and the white light behind him was instantly widened.

His acceleration once again surprised Zhao Hongwen who was chasing him.

What a great speed!

The key point is that if he saw it correctly, the other party did not seem to use the spirit shuttle. He relied on the escape technique to fly faster than the spirit shuttle!
This Chen Xiao is actually a cultivator who specializes in the art of escape?

Zhao Hongwen immediately took a deep breath and pinched his fingers to unlock the restriction of the spirit shuttle.

As we all know, some spiritual weapons are set up in two forms in order to solve the problem of insufficient true energy of cultivators.

The double cloud-piercing spiritual shuttle he was activating at this moment was the finest of spiritual weapons.

The spiritual form he activated with all his strength was comparable to that of a Golden Core cultivator who had mastered the art of escape.

At the beginning, in order to save true energy and make it easier to suppress Chen Xiao’s possible resistance later, Zhao Hongwen only used his daily form.

But now, seeing that the million-dollar reward was getting further and further away from him, he could no longer hold back.

He decisively activated the Cloud Piercing Spirit Shuttle's spiritual form, determined to get the reward.

Ok?
Are the Eastern Region cultivators’ escape techniques so powerful?
Or was it just bad luck that I happened to meet a master of escape techniques?
Xiao Chen's spiritual sense sensed that the white light behind him accelerated again, and he frowned slightly.

But no matter what, this is not a good thing. It seems that I can no longer hide my strength.

So he no longer thought about hiding, and used all his strength to activate the escape technique, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Only Zhao Hongwen was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

Damn it, what the hell!
No, how could a golden elixir fly faster than the Double Cloud-Piercing Spirit Shuttle?
If cultivators can reach this speed, then what is the meaning of the Cloud Piercing Spirit Shuttle?

Such a situation has never been heard of since the invention of the Double Cloud-Piercing Spirit Shuttle.

Before today, if someone told Zhao Hongwen that someone could be faster than Ling Shuttle, he would definitely think that person was crazy.

But now he felt like he was going crazy: "My one million! Ah~~~!"

It feels bad to lose a million spirit stones.

Zhao Hongwen was stunned for a moment before he remembered to inform his family: "Oh, there's also a 100,000 Spirit Stone reward for any clues!"

At this time, he was completely certain that the person who escaped in front was Chen Xiao.

As long as you calm down and think about it, it is not difficult to guess the truth of the matter.

Only the supreme secret teachings flowing out of the Xuantian Immortal Palace can enable Jindan cultivators to achieve such a fast escape speed, and only this can explain it.

There is no other way.

And how long has it been since the Xuantian Immortal Palace opened?
The other party actually broke through to the Golden Core Realm directly, which must be related to the Immortal Palace's secret method, and there is a high probability that it is directly related.

Realizing this, a fiery flash appeared in Zhao Hongwen's eyes.

It would be great if he could obtain the inheritance of the Immortal Palace. In the future, he would break through the Nascent Soul stage and become a True Lord, commanding the Pure Sky Sea. How majestic he would be.

But there is no chance now.

As long as he helps the family capture Chen Xiao, he may be able to get some guidance in the future.

While Zhao Hongwen was daydreaming, he took out a specially made spiritual sword for transmitting sound.

The Sound Transmission Sword is also a special spiritual weapon created to solve the problem of monks being too far apart and unable to communicate in time.

It can fly to a designated location, or automatically search for preset candidates within a radius of 100 miles.

The spiritual sword can carry a piece of the cultivator's voice, and the high-end version can even carry a small image composed of spiritual power.

And this means of communication is very safe.

Without special secret methods, even if it is intercepted by others in the middle, no one will be able to know the information inside.

The only drawback is that the spirit sword is very expensive and ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford it.

Zhao Hongwen fired three sound-transmitting swords in a row, passing the information to the family ancestor, the head of the family, and his second uncle at the same time.

This was to prevent the sound sword from being intercepted, and also to leave evidence of his identity as the first discoverer.

Soon, except for the ancestor of the Zhao family who was in seclusion, the other two people successfully received the message.

Zhao Chenghan, the head of the Zhao family, immediately summoned all the elders to discuss the matter.

Everyone in the Zhao family was delighted to learn that Chen Xiao was finally exposed.

"Hahaha, God will not let down those who work hard. I knew that such a big person would definitely not be able to hide."

"Great! Now that we've found his location, what are we waiting for? Let's go get him."

"Wait a minute, he's been hiding in the Jinxia Sect for the past two years with no news. It's very likely someone is secretly protecting him. If we rush over rashly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture him."

"Not bad!"

Zhao Chenghan nodded: "This opportunity is of great importance and can be considered a gift to the True Lord. As long as our Zhao family can take first place, it will be fine."

"I want to send a message to the Chu and Wen families, and gather our forces to put pressure on the Jinxia Sect. What do you all think?"

The people below looked at each other and said in unison: "The Patriarch is wise!"

Soon the three parties reached a consensus and gathered their people to set off together.
