Five Immortals Gate

Chapter 349: Traces of the Phantom

"Are you saying that among the cultivators you found, there is something similar to the 'Descending Immortal Pearl'?" Yi Ze's face showed surprise. He really didn't know about this. They were just looking for clues. As he said, there are a lot of things in a Buddha's storage bag. I really don't know whether the other party killed people for revenge and took the storage bag, or came to find things.

Looking at the other party's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Wang Lang thought to himself, "Does he really not know? Or is this just a coincidence?"

In fact, in response to the recent events in the four major sects, the top leaders of the four sects already knew that there was a force looking for something, and they had some clues, but they would not mention it to the cultivators below, but only strengthened the investigation of manpower, and at the same time began to find the murderer in a targeted manner, and had already found and killed many people. These situations are at most only known to the sect's Jindan cultivators, and people of Yi Ze and Wang Lang's status cannot know.

However, Wang Lang recently found that most of the missing or murdered people held important positions in the sect, and one thing that made Wang Lang feel strange was that these people either had round beads in their hands, or something similar to round beads was lost in the place where they guarded the sect after death. Although this was only two of the six sects he investigated, coupled with the death of Yi Guang in the Pure Land Sect, he unconsciously wanted to connect them to prove his guess.

Wang Lang is Wang Lang after all, he is a child of destiny, and his intelligence is unmatched by ordinary people. Although no sect leaders gave any hints, they were just people sent by the sect to collect intelligence, but he still saw some clues.

Yi Ze looked at Wang Lang and finally said, "Master Yi Guang's 'Jiangxian Pearl' was really lost with the storage bag. Is this just a coincidence? After all, there are many round beads in Buddhism, such as holding beads, hanging beads, matching beads, etc. If it is used as a magic weapon, it is normal to be robbed when killing people and robbing." "Then did Master Yi Guang lose his Buddhist beads?" Wang Lang asked. He knew that even if the Buddhist beads of monks were not magic weapons, they were often extraordinary spiritual treasures that could store mental power. They were very important things for Pure Land monks. "That's not the case. Huh? Uncle Yi Guang's Buddhist beads have been cultivated for more than a hundred years. That is a treasure that is no less than a magic weapon. Fellow Daoist Wang, what is the news from your side? You can't have this idea just because it's just a stone bead. There are still coincidences. Maybe the other party is just killing people and robbing money, but they don't know the wonderful use of the Buddhist beads." Yi Ze was shocked at first, but he calmed down immediately. He is a Zen monk with strong meditation skills. Although he had a slight idea to report to Uncle Song immediately, he still asked in detail.

Wang Lang smiled slightly, "But it's not as simple as just a stone bead. In a sect I checked..."

In a separate courtyard in the north of Yuguan City, two Buddhas sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Brother Song, do the Arhats really say that Brother Yi Guang's "Falling Immortal Pearl" is the target?" A thin old monk looked at a middle-aged monk opposite.

"Amituo

Buddha, Brother Yifa, this is certain. In fact, the temple already knew that the other party was looking for something similar to round beads, but this is a complicated matter for the Pure Land Sect. There are thousands of disciples in the temple who use beads as magic weapons, if not tens of thousands. Especially the Buddhist beads we practice, which can store mental power, are even more difficult to start with. It is impossible to collect all the Buddhist beads and round beads. Magical treasures." Lesong said with his palms clasped together.

"Have the other three sects made any progress or news?" said the old monk Yifa, raising his drooping eyebrows.

"Junior brother, I know very little about it. Everything is under the control of Master Liaofan. It is said that Master Mo Qing of the Wuliang Sect recently retrieved something from a Taoist temple. It seems to be the eyeball of a stone sculpture. Since a Yuanying can go there in person, you can imagine how much importance he attaches to it. But I don't know the specific situation." "In this case, the round bead magic weapon that the other party is looking for must have a huge secret. Otherwise, how could they not hesitate to expose their identities and kill people everywhere, especially since they have already started to attack the four sects. Alas, speaking of this, Senior Brother, why did Junior Brother Yi Guang..., you came here in such a hurry. I have arranged people to go out and search for the clues you mentioned today, but there is no such bitch as you said." The old monk raised his eyebrows, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes. "Alas, a red-faced skeleton, immortal skin and rotten flesh, Junior Brother Yi Guang was confused and was cast into an illusion by someone who had cast the 'Seven Mysterious Yin Qi Gong'. He had already fallen into an illusion and had all his essence taken away. This skill has been lost for thousands of years, and now it has come to the mortal world again, which is another disaster. Junior Brother, this person appeared nearby two days ago, and now he has come here from Daning City. He either came for something like the 'Fairy Pearl' or he was looking for a target to devour his essence to improve his cultivation. So you must strictly order the disciples in the temple to be on guard against abnormal people approaching him. If it is the former, send disciples to check all shops and give me a result within half a day to see if there are any suspicious people. As for the latter, my Pure Land Sect disciples are not allowed to go out alone in the near future, and all female cultivators entering and leaving the city must be strictly checked. You and I will go out of the city now and go to see the place where the woman used to appear." Li Yan didn't know that he could still meet old friends here, but even if he faced Wang Lang directly, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize who the other person was immediately.

Li Yan soon arrived at the auction house in the city. Looking up, it was indeed very impressive. It was obviously built at a huge cost. Although there were monks coming and going at the door of the auction house, not many people entered. The three big characters on the door made Li Yan stunned at first: "Singing Clothes Meeting".

Li Yan knew what this meant. "Singing Clothes" was actually the same as "Auction". The ancient monks called bidding and selling things "Singing Clothes", and the gathering place was called "Singing Clothes Meeting" or "Singing Clothes Field". This was the term used by ordinary people to bid and sell clothes, while "Auction" was the term used by foreign monks. However, as the interaction between demons, humans, and foreign monks gradually adopted the term that outsiders could understand, but in some areas with a long tradition, the term "Singing Clothes" was still used. The use of the word "Singing Clothes" here can only mean that the power behind this auction house is extremely ancient, and often the ancient power represents strength. An auction held by a powerful force will of course have a certain guarantee of treasures, which made Li Yan look forward to it.

"The power behind the auction house here may be the Pure Land Sect, otherwise how could there be such an ancient title!" Li Yan thought to himself.

There were only two Qi Condensation cultivators standing at the door and talking. Li Yan did not hesitate and walked to the door to ask questions. As expected, the auction will be held the day after tomorrow. Now, most of the people who occasionally appear here are merchants who send items for the day after tomorrow, and the others are the stewards of the auction. However, the two of them only know the specific items to be auctioned. Among them, there is really news of Crystal Bone Water, which makes Li Yan happy.

After Li Yan found out the news, he was somewhat glad that he came here to ask for details. The auction here is not for any cultivator to enter. First of all, you must be at the Foundation Establishment stage or above; second, you need to pay 50 spirit stones in advance. Regardless of whether you decide to auction in the end or whether you auction what you want, the spirit stones will not be returned. This alone has discouraged some cultivators who want to join in the fun and broaden their horizons. When Li Yan asked, there were only 17 people left. Li Yan secretly sighed that it was easy to make money at the auction.

Since there was news that "Crystal Bone Water" appeared here, Li Yan had to take out 50 low-level spirit stones and give them to the other party no matter how reluctant he was. Then he got a token engraved with a two-headed pangolin from the other party. Li Yan took another look at the back of the token. There were three exquisite characters "Singing Clothes Club" on it, which were exactly the same as the three characters on the door of Li Yan.

"If it weren't an industry purchased by the Pure Land Sect, it would be extraordinary to be able to open an exclusive business in such an important Xiuxian City." Li Yan thought to himself and turned away.

Next, Li Yan certainly would not let go of the market here. He spent half a day going in and out of the market and shops in the city. Li Yan really had an unexpected harvest. He actually saw two kinds of auxiliary materials for refining "Gui Yi Dividing Water Thorns", and he bought them immediately. As for the cultivation techniques and magic weapons, there were also a wide variety of them, with high and low quality. Li Yan looked around, but there was nothing that matched his own techniques. Moreover, most of them were suspected of exaggerating the power of the techniques and magic weapons after careful observation. However, this was reasonable. Good things are usually bought by people as soon as they appear. After all, there are not many people who can pick up bargains. Although there are several magic weapons, Li Yan thinks they are pretty good, but the price is ridiculously expensive. These are not necessary for him, so he can't waste the spirit stones.

In fact, Li Yan can buy two kinds of auxiliary materials here, and Sun Guoshu only occasionally saw one kind in the market near the Wuliang Sect. It cannot be said that the market of the Wuliang Sect is not as good as that of the Pure Land Sect. This is related to the incompatibility of the two sects. When Li Yan was in the sect, he went to the Peiyang market near the Wuliang Sect with Lin Daqiao and Wen Xinliang. It was actually a small market built by several immortal cultivation forces themselves. The Wuliang Sect itself would not build a city. At most, it would only send its own cultivators to garrison in larger gathering places for immortal cultivation. The Wuliang Sect was not allowed to build a large gathering place for immortal cultivation near the mountain gate, so Li Yan had to go far away to find it. But the Pure Land Sect was different. They wanted to cultivate their mind power, so the closer the city was to the sect, the better, and the more the better. In addition, the Pure Land Sect would also spend a huge amount of money to build temples and new cities, so the market naturally increased. In this way, while Li Yan was looking for some suitable things, he also selectively sold the things he had recently obtained but did not need, and actually got more than 30,000 spiritual stones. Most of the spiritual stones here came from the He brothers. Their magic pills were expensive. The most important ones were the green abacus and the damaged mace. These two magic weapons got more than 20,000 spiritual stones. Magic weapons are originally very expensive. Otherwise, they were only a few thousand spiritual stones. I think ordinary cultivators can afford them after decades of accumulation. But the reality is not so. An ordinary magic weapon requires thousands or tens of thousands of raw materials to refine, not to mention the expensive fees to pay the master of refining. Of course, a finished product is expensive, but cultivators often find that it is not necessarily suitable for their own use.

The emerald green abacus was in excellent condition, and Li Yan went to several shops and sold it for more than 18,000 spirit stones. However, the mace was damaged due to the self-detonation of the Azure Wolf spirit inside it, but the material of the mace itself was left. If a magic cultivator could find a monster soul and refine and nourish it again, it could slowly recover. It's just that the process was a bit long. Even if the mace was melted and sold as refining material, the price would not be too low. In the end, it was still sold for 7,000 spirit stones.

In the evening, Li Yan found an inn in the city and stayed there. Very few monks were willing to live with their companions, unless they were cultivators such as couples with extremely close relationships. Therefore, most of the inns for cultivators were very large. It is usually a small courtyard or a single room, but the price is also very expensive. If you can't bear the spirit stone, you can go out of the city and find a place in the mountains to rest.

Li Yan was not a big spender, so he did not choose a separate courtyard, but just stayed in a single room in an inn. Even in this single room, there was only a bed, a table and a chair, which was enough for one night.

Ten low-level spiritual stones are required, plus the three low-level spiritual stones paid in the temple when entering the city. Thirteen spiritual stones are needed on the first day of living in the city without eating or drinking. This is not suitable for low-level monks or some casual cultivators. He said that he would not enter the city easily.

However, since the spirit stone has been spent, even if it is a simple single room, the sound insulation protection array inside is still good. People inside cannot easily enter without a monk attacking. This fact makes Li Yan quite satisfied.
