Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 213: The Jin Family accidentally encounters Red Peony and successfully attends the Spiritual Medicine Banquet
The process of exchanging Xianzhi Soul-Soothing Pills is not complicated.

In the temporary cave of Master Lantern, Xiao Chen completed the transaction directly with the other party's boy.

The expected problem of Yuanying Zhenjun paying attention to or even coveting the source of the elixir did not occur.

For a Jindan Zhenren, fourth-level elixirs are very important, and fourth-level elixirs are even more important.

However, in fact, a purple gold Bodhi tree was not enough to attract the attention of Master Zhuan Lantern, as he was busy looking for City Lord Huo to reminisce about the past.

"Boom!"

Coming out of the gorgeous temporary cave and on the way back to Baicao City, there was a sudden loud thunder.

Xiao Chen looked up and saw that about six hundred miles to the north, there was a flash of lightning in the sky a hundred feet high. Thunder as thick as a bucket fell from the sky, vaguely bombarding something.

Immediately afterwards, wisps of golden light burst out from the sky, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

The sea water within a radius of several miles below flowed back into the sky and transformed into a majestic and awe-inspiring god who was hundreds of feet tall.

The two sides had been exchanging seven or eight moves when a violent tide of spiritual energy swept over. It was clear that two Jindan cultivators were fighting.

On Baicao Island, figures immediately descended from the clouds and watched from afar.

Some curious people even took the initiative to move more than a hundred miles in that direction just to get a closer look.

Xiao Chen also stood in mid-air with everyone else, watching the battle in the distance.

Great, finally there’s a fight to watch!
Judging from the commotion, the person who made the move was no ordinary person. Unfortunately, there was already a lot of flashing lights and spells flying over there, which seriously blocked the view, so it was difficult to see clearly who made the move.

But it doesn’t matter. Naturally, there are people who can distinguish different monks based on their spells.

"Oh, isn't that the Jin family's Hundred Refinements Carved Gold Bead? Why did the Jin family suddenly take action? Could they have caught the murderer?"

"Good boy, you are indeed one of the seven major families of the Wanxian Islands. You have already found the person in just a few days."

"My fellow Daoists, the divine general in the sea seems quite familiar to me. Does anyone know his origin?"

"From what I can see, that seems to be the unique skill of the Peng family of Wanxian Island."

"What? If that's the case, could it be that the other party in the fight is a sword cultivator?"

Unlike the tremendous commotion and noise of a battle between magic cultivators that could be seen clearly from a distance, when sword cultivators fought, only cultivators at close range could sense the intense killing intent within the sword energy.

However, the next moment, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened.

Then people saw a huge flame erupting, spreading in all directions and sweeping thousands of feet.

Like a red peony in full bloom, the rolling heat waves evaporated a large area of ​​sea water, and in an instant the sky and the ground were filled with white water vapor.

"stop!"

A loud shout resounded between heaven and earth, and soon two figures broke through the mist, but they looked around in confusion and could not find any trace of the enemy.

At the same time, everyone watching the battle from a distance was also shocked.

"Fuck, what a powerful fire mage!"

"Hiss~, if I saw correctly, that blazing flame just now was at least a thousand feet in size, right?"

"So it was Red Peony who robbed and killed the Jin family. I said the White-Faced Scholar definitely wouldn't have the guts to do that."

Hong Mudan ranks fourth on the bounty list, with a cumulative bounty of 2.85 million spirit stones.

The representative spell was exposed, and those who knew the trick immediately recognized the identity of the person who did it.

This immediately sparked more heated discussion.

"So that's Red Peony. I heard she's a female cultivator, but I wonder if that's true."

"Humph, there's no difference between male and female among robber cultivators. They all deserve to die. Why haven't they caught this bastard yet?"

"That's strange. I've never heard of Red Peony taking action in Nanlaohai before. Why is she suddenly targeting the Jin family this time?"

"Yes, I heard that the Jin family lost a treasure before. Could it be a fourth-level inheritance?"

"How could it be a technique? To be able to attract Red Peony, I think it must be something as good as the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill."

……

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is a spiritual medicine that can break through the realm of cultivation. It is said that it can increase the success rate of forming a fetus for cultivators by 20%.

Later on, it all turned into various unrealistic speculations, so Xiao Chen didn't listen much, but quietly blended into the crowd.

Although no one knows why Hong Mudan suddenly appeared here and had a conflict with the Jin family.

But this is definitely a good thing for him.

If the Jin family focuses all their attention on arresting Hong Mudan, then he can just watch the fire from the other side of the river.

In fact, the cause of the conflict is very simple.

Hong Mudan was simply passing by here, but when she was leaving Baicao Island, she alertly discovered that she was being secretly followed by the Jin family monks who were lying in ambush outside the island.

The two sides already have grievances, so we have to think too much.

Hong Mudan decisively ran away, and the Jin family cultivator immediately stood up and chased after her.

Then what just happened happened.

The subsequent development of the matter was just as Xiao Chen expected.

Soon, the Jin family updated the original bounty order and added an additional 100,000 spirit stones.

At the same time, they withdrew the personnel near Baicao Island and went to the north to hunt down Hong Mudan.

A cultivator calculated that with this reward, the total reward for Red Peony reached 3.25 million spirit stones.

He surpassed the original third place Ghost-Faced Monk by 50,000 spirit stones and squeezed into the top three.

Upon hearing the news in the square, Xiao Chen turned around and left quietly without saying a word, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.

The threat from the Jin family has come to an end for the time being. Of course, this matter is not over, but there is no rush to settle the accounts now.

In addition, it is not suitable to go out hunting for demon pills these days, but the good news is that the spiritual medicine banquet will still be held as usual and it will be the day after tomorrow.

"Do you want to attend the Spiritual Medicine Banquet?"

Xiao Chen finished his training in the courtyard and while resting, he thought: "Since someone has already taken the blame, why not use the Longevity Pill to exchange for admission?"

"Let's be safe and just use the Immortal Ganoderma Soul-Swallowing Pill."

To be honest, since you happen to come across such a banquet, it will always be beneficial to attend it.

Putting aside the idea of ​​making connections, listening to the discussions of the Yuanying Zhenjuns and seeing the other fourth-order spiritual creatures with your own eyes can at least give you a lot of new insights.

If you are luckier, what you get in exchange may not be worse than the Xianzhi Soul-Soothing Pill.

Maybe you can find something more suitable.

The day before the banquet, Xiao Chen heard an extra piece of good news: Master Momei was planning to add a segment selling demon pills at the spiritual medicine banquet.

Master Momei is another good friend of City Lord Huo, who likes to venture out to the open sea.

In other words, a large number of Yuanying Zhenjun like to stay in the open sea, hunting high-level monsters while searching for new secret realms or relics.

For them, the inland sea is basically regarded as a stable rear base.

He would only come back when something important happened in the sect, or when he wanted to rest for a few days.

Therefore, Master Momei has accumulated a lot of third-level demon pills and wants to take this opportunity to make a move.
.
Of course, City Lord Huo would not oppose his good friend.

He also took the initiative to write the news on the notice and posted it in advance, reminding the monks who were interested in purchasing to prepare more spirit stones in advance.

Depending on the properties and quality of the demon pill, the estimated selling price will fluctuate between 20,000 and 50,000 spirit stones.

This price is definitely not cheap, but it is not very expensive either. It is a standard auction price.

But for Xiao Chen, it was a pretty good deal.

After all, on ordinary days, few cultivators would sell good things like demon pills, and even if they did, they would only have one or two.

If you want to buy demon pills in bulk, you basically have to wait for large-scale auctions.

At the same time, for Xiao Chen, buying demon pills is actually cheaper than buying spiritual objects, and the actual cultivation effect is also very good.

Especially since the Jin family is still conducting inspections on the sea, it is not very convenient to go out hunting.

You can buy a few demon pills first to make up for it, so as not to delay your own cultivation speed.

As for the spirit stones that were spent, they can be taken back in double the amount from the Jin family warehouse in the future.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen made up his mind and took the Xianzhi Soul-Soothing Pill to attend the spiritual medicine banquet.

The next day, he made a special trip to East City to deal with some unused items.

Mainly some miscellaneous items on hand, such as the few remaining top-grade magic weapons, the blood jade that was obtained by accident, and the spiritual sand that had not been used before, etc.

Then he sold the six third-level jade talismans at a discount.

This includes a complete set of high-quality magical tea sets, which have almost no market in the Southern Region. However, in the Eastern Region, they have an exotic style and can be sold as gifts.

Adding up these things helped him recover 176,300 spirit stones.

This caused the number of low-grade spirit stones in Xiao Chen's hands to return to 700,000.

In addition, he had accumulated 10,500 medium-grade spirit stones, which he could spend when needed.

"Shouldn't we need to sell the spiritual herbs?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and realized that he would be going to the open sea in May, so maybe the demon pills there would be cheaper.

Besides, when you get there, you can hunt by yourself.

There is no need to buy a lot of demon pills this time. Just prepare about ten of them, which should be enough for me to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core.

Therefore, he did not continue to sell spiritual herbs, but instead walked around the city as usual.

There is no new news from the outside world.

Although the Jin family has set up a tight net, Hong Mudan was able to rank fourth on the bounty list before, which must have been due to her unique characteristics.

I heard that the two sides fought twice more in the middle, but both ended in one blow.

At present, the pursuit has gone beyond the scope of Nanlaohai and reached the more chaotic Jianhai.

That place can almost be considered half of Hong Mudan's home ground, so it is probably even more impossible to catch her.

Instead, it was another piece of news from Jingkonghai that caught Xiao Chen's attention.

It is said that the three major families did not ultimately engage in a full-scale conflict with the Jinxia Sect.

After the two sides fought, they respectively asked the Five Thunder Temple of Black Rock Sea and the Tianyin Sect of Yunchi Sea to mediate.

It can be considered a temporary cessation of hostility and peace.

Rumor has it that the Jinxia Sect suffered a significant loss, with the deaths of several third-level spirit beasts and two Jindan True Immortals.

However, considering that the three major families are already powerful and have the support of the Lord of the Pagoda behind them.

The Jinxia Sect had no choice but to ask for compensation and settle the matter peacefully.

hiss~!

Xiao Chen took a breath of cold air when he heard this. It seemed that this was really difficult to deal with.

Even the Jinxia Sect couldn't hold on. If he wanted to deal with the three major families, even the Great Perfection of the Golden Core might not be enough. He would probably have to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

But actually it’s not a big deal, I can go to the open sea first and not play with them in the inland sea.

It would be best if I could break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the outer sea, and then come back to deal with the three major families and the Jin family.

Noon on the third day.

The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was wide open, and red lanterns printed on carpets embroidered with birds and beasts spread all the way out from the mansion and covered the entire street.

Many disciples of Baicao City wore uniform robes and began to maintain order at the street corner.

Xiao Chen noticed that the patterns on their robes had changed, clearly indicating a new custom design. He wondered if these robes would eventually be used by the disciples.

If that's the case, it would actually be quite nice for them to get a robe for free just by standing guard.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chen has not been able to enjoy many of the sect's benefits.

First of all, Lihuomen is indeed relatively poor, and there are few welfare benefits in such a small place.

Secondly, he had cultivated very quickly at the time and was unable to catch up with similar activities. For example, the largest joint competition among the three sects in Lizhou was only open to Qi-refining cultivators.

"I don't know if there are similar activities in the Eastern Region."

Guided by the maid, Xiao Chen sat down and waited for the auspicious time while his mind wandered to the heavens.

Logically speaking, the Eastern Region must also have various sect competitions and magic fighting contests, attracting all kinds of geniuses to compete.

Generally speaking, the rewards are very good, and the winning monk can gain both fame and fortune.

However, if his current identity problem is not resolved, he may not be able to participate in such a competition.

Very annoying!

And thanks to the fact that I was cautious enough and used the pseudonym Chen Xiao, otherwise I wouldn’t know what the situation is now.

After staying in Baicao City for some time, he can now understand the transcendent status of Xuantian Immortal Palace in the Eastern Region.

The identity of the heir of the Immortal Palace is enough to attract the covetousness of Yuanying Zhenjun.

Perhaps this is also one of the prices for obtaining inheritance.

"Boom~!"

At three quarters past midnight, the evening drum sounded and the dinner officially began.

In order to facilitate communication among everyone, the banquet was held in the spacious back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

There used to be a large pond here that was a thousand feet long and a hundred feet wide.

There is a small pavilion in the middle of the pond where you can enjoy the view.

At this time, a circle of eight-immortal tables were temporarily placed on the surface of the pond, forming a crescent shape.

It is also equipped with chairs and incense burners to attract guests to the banquet.

There are five separate seats in the pavilion, and all kinds of ornaments such as bead curtains, canopies, fans, pendants, etc. are reserved for Yuanying Zhenjun.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw that there were more than 190 cultivators present.

All of them are Jindan Zhenren, and none of them have reached the foundation-building stage.

Especially on the left, four tables away, he actually saw Wen Ruoxi.

The other party was completely different from the way he looked in the Immortal Palace.

She wore a crimson formal gown, a brocaded shawl with a red silk sash, and a nine-died crown on her head, adorned with two pearl flowers, five pearls, eleven pearl and jade clouds, and nine precious flowers.

The whole person looks dignified, elegant and magnificent.

I didn't expect that she had already broken through to the Golden Core Realm. It seems that her status is not low.

After all, the pearls on the Nine-Di Crown are all third-level ice spirit pearls.

The natural blue light she emitted couldn't even cover the red lantern above her head, so that her seat was also covered with a layer of blue light, making it look very expensive.
.
In addition, there was another person who also attended in formal attire—Gao Changgeng from the Zhaixing Sword Pavilion.

He was sitting at a table to the left of Wen Ruoxi, with colorful clouds flowing around his body and the jade belt around his waist shining like a white rainbow.

He also wore a crown on his head, and a piece of clear jade was inlaid on his forehead.

He was actually holding a folding fan with a tassel tied at the end.

According to Xiao Chen's observation, these things are most likely not just accessories, but also spiritual weapons with different functions.

Tsk, he is obviously a sword cultivator, but he brought a lot of other things with him, which is not pure.

In comparison, Ling Tianyi, who was sitting on his right, looked much more normal.

Apart from the shining spirit beast bag on his waist, nothing else on his body was glowing, even his sword was inconspicuous.

Xiao Chen glanced at the spirit beast bag and guessed that the black dragon should be in the bag now.

Actually, this thing is also a specialty of the Eastern Region and is not available in the Southern Region at all.

It is said that you can carry a living spirit beast in a bag for up to several months, which is also a quite magical thing.

Not long after, Master Momei arrived first.

There was no spiritual light flashing on his body either. With a clean and efficient wave of his hand, nearly three hundred demon pills appeared in the air.

"I won't say anything more. There are four rows of demon pills here. The ones on top are more expensive and the ones on the bottom are cheaper."

"Take whichever one you like, and hand in the spirit stone when you're done."

After saying this, he turned around and sat down in the pavilion.

The demon pills in the air flew in an orderly manner to two feet in front of the table, and then slowly flowed so that everyone could check their quality.

Someone immediately tried to stretch out his hand, and immediately a demon pill fell into his hand, which was very convenient.

At this time, another handsome True Lord came and walked into the pavilion to chat with True Lord Momei.

The demon pills outside were taken by everyone one after another, but Master Momei didn't seem to care at all and was not afraid that someone would steal them.

Xiao Chen looked up and carefully distinguished it.

The row at the bottom is ordinary demon pills, and they are the cheapest.

The three rows above are all mutated demon pills.

The third row contains all water demon pills, and it is also the row with the largest number.

The second row is the other four attributes except water. Even if the four are added together, the number is immediately reduced by half.

The top ones are all special attributes such as ice, thunder, and wind, and there are the least number of them, only eight in total.

Wen Ruoxi immediately put all four of the ice demon pills into her arms.

However, he did not continue to collect the remaining demon pills.

Gao Changgeng slowly raised his head and took a look, then casually took the remaining four demon pills and handed the two wind-type demon pills to the two junior sisters behind him.

He also didn't take a second look at the other demon pills.

For them, demon pills are not rare.

When it is really needed in the future, it will just be a matter of informing the family or sect.

Xiao Chen thought about it, but did not take other demon pills. Instead, he picked out twenty water-attribute demon pills.

Anyway, he was planning to use it to refine his true essence, so its attributes didn't really make much difference.

According to the previous experience of absorbing six demon pills, the yin energy of the sunflower water in two ordinary demon pills was relatively light and could only increase one true essence.

The sunflower water in the remaining four mutant demon pills has strong Yin energy, which can increase three true essences. If you slow down and absorb carefully during refining, you can increase four true essences.

As for the other attributes, he has not encountered them yet.

But logically speaking, there shouldn't be any additional benefits other than the wood attribute.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, the third row of demon pills is the most cost-effective.

However, out of curiosity, he took a wood-attributed demon pill and a gold-attributed demon pill, intending to take them back for comparison.

Even if there might be a small loss, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as a test.

This pile of demon pills cost him a full 680,000 spirit stones, and also attracted the attention of many Jindan cultivators.

However, everyone was more curious about the unfamiliar face. After all, most of them had never seen Xiao Chen before, so no one was surprised by his financial resources.

After all, those who can come here are not simple characters.

Xiao Chen noticed that almost everyone chose at least one demon pill.

It can be seen that everyone is very supportive.

This part lasted about a quarter of an hour in total.

When the time came, Master Momei waved his hand again, and the remaining demon pills disappeared on the spot.

Xiao Chen saw clearly that these demon pills were not taken into the pavilion, but simply disappeared out of thin air.

The other monks also noticed this.

Ling Tianyi's eyes flashed, and Gao Changgeng's expression became more serious.

This feeling is not pleasant. After all, if the other party can absorb the demon pill at this distance, he can also do something else.

For example, if you suddenly want to take someone's head, it is completely possible to do so.

Of course, it is not difficult for a Yuanying Zhenjun to kill a Jindan cultivator.

However, he was different from the other monks who looked tense and horrified.

Ling Tianyi was actually thinking about how long he could hold out if he resisted, and whether he had any hope of escaping.

Gao Changgeng had similar thoughts at this time. He was also thinking about whether he could rely on the spiritual weapon to delay enough time.

In addition to the two of them, there was another person at the scene who was also thinking about different things.

That’s Xiao Chen.

Of course, what he was thinking at this time was different.

With the Night's Edge, he doesn't have to worry about his own safety.

At this moment, I was thinking about whether this move of capturing objects in mid-air was easy to learn.

When he reaches the Nascent Soul stage in the future, he will take the time to study how this is achieved.

After learning it, you can show off your skills at occasions like exchange meets.

What is this called? This is called seeing a virtuous person and wanting to emulate him!
Only by being good at learning from others' strengths can you become a better person.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanshuang, please take a seat. Fellow Daoist Tideng, please take a seat as well. Don't be polite to me. Just treat it as your own home."

Soon, City Lord Huo also came to the pavilion and asked the other two Yuanying Zhenjun to sit down.

Then, he habitually waved to the Jindan cultivators outside the pavilion.

Everyone responded in cooperation.

Although there are actually not many Baicao City Golden Pills here, everyone is very discerning.

City Lord Huo continued his previous straightforward style: "I'm very happy to have so many fellow Taoists and friends come to this banquet tonight."

"I don't like talking nonsense."

"The purpose of holding this spiritual medicine banquet today is to let everyone have the opportunity to obtain the fourth-level spiritual pill they want."

"We don't have any new rules here, it's just like any other swap meet."

"Everyone can speak freely and barter later. Don't worry about anything."

"Uh... let me think about it..."

He paused for a moment, then shook his head casually: "That's all I have to say."

"Let's eat first. Only when you're full will you have the energy to talk."

"Someone, serve the food!"

　It's the end of the month. Does anyone have a monthly ticket? Please give me some.
