Chapter 44: Interrogation (1)
Early spring season.
The thin spring rain gently sprinkles between heaven and earth, and it seems as if the misty fog rises from the earth.
Just like he hates the severe cold of winter, Liu Yuanzheng also likes such weather and such seasons. Early spring indicates that everything sprouts and vitality is everywhere.
At this time, Liu Yuanzheng walked casually in Jinzhang Courtyard in the spring rain. As the Yaotai Dan Banquet was determined, the disciples of Xuanqing Immortal Sect and Taihua Immortal Sect have arrived early, and Jinzhang Peak, which is usually deserted, has become lively now.
Many disciples traveled to visit the visitors, and two monks of the two sects spontaneously set up stalls in the open space between the Treasure Pavilion of Jinzhangyuan and the Lingdan Pavilion to communicate with each other.
First of all, the inheritance of each sect has different characteristics. Many talismans, magic tools, and elixirs are all very good trading items.
Secondly, the geography of each sect is very different, and many treasures of heaven and earth need unique terrain to be nurtured, which are also good traded items.
Over the years, the Yaotai alchemy banquet has become a prosperous era not only because of the alchemy banquet itself, but also because of the disciples of Xuanqing and the Five Thunder Sects, which is not unreasonable. Many friends of the two sects in the past became familiar with each other on such occasions.
At this moment, Liu Yuan was standing not far from the stall of a disciple of Taihua Immortal Sect. He did not come forward to talk, but just looked at a palm-sized water-patterned Yuanjing on the stall from afar.
This is one of the "special products" of Taihua Immortal Sect.
Taihua Xianzong lives in Yuehua Mountain in the northwest direction of Zhongtu. This Shandong is three thousand miles away, and there is a living water lake called Yueyan Lake.
Because there is a dark river at the bottom of the lake, connecting the river of Central Earth, there is always a whirlpool in the center of Yueyan Lake. From a distance, it looks like the pupils in a person's eyes, and Yueyan Lake is named because of this.
The vortex is turbulent and contains huge power. During the ancient Xuanmen period, a cultivator of Taihua Immortal Sect once tried to throw the mysterious iron magic weapon into the vortex, but was finally stirred into a ball of scrap iron by the huge force in the water. The ancient cultivator was disappointed and did not put away the waste magic weapon and left straight.
After many years, when descendants were idle, they found that the ball of black iron condensed into a ball of Yuan crystal after years of training in the vortex of the moon. Not only was it crystal clear, natural water patterns appeared in the Yuan crystal, which was already a best treasure for refining weapons.
In this way, Taihua Immortal Sect protected Yueyan Lake and sent monks to it every year, throwing a lot of treasures into the whirlpool, whether it is black iron or spiritual jade, after more than ten years, they will be taken out as much as possible, and they will all become water-patterned Yuan crystals.
Nowadays, most disciples of Taihua Immortal Sect use water-patterned Yuan Crystal to refine magic weapons, which is a major symbol of cultivators in this sect.
In the past few days, Liu Yuanzheng has also been walking around, preparing to replace a piece of water-patterned Yuan crystal. He searched for it, but he felt that the part in front of him was the most favorable.
The Yuan crystal is only the size of a fist, and the corners are crystal clear, and the material is still not visible. In the center of the Yuan crystal, there is a ball of white fluff like a ball, which is the water pattern in the Yuan crystal. When you look closely, the white fluff is like a lotus in bloom.
"If you can get this thing, it will be used to refine it into the Eight Treasures Mysterious Thunder Pool."
This "Eight Treasures Mysterious Thunder Pool" is exactly one of the foundation-building methods recorded in "Lei Yuan Yangdao Chapter". As the name suggests, casting a thunder pool is only the first step. There are eight treasures in the thunder pool to respond to the Eight Trigrams, and these eight treasures need to be in the shape of a lotus.
In this way, the eight-treasure lotus is cultivated with the Thunder Pool, and finally it is refined into a Taoist lotus. The lotus heart warms the five-spirited Yuanzhu, which is the perfect result of the eight-treasure Xuan Lei Pool, which is also the opportunity for Liu Yuanzheng to form a pill.
It seems that everything is still far away, but finding something that can be used is already a great progress.
Just as he was thinking about this, at some point, Junior Brother Yuanxin and Zhu Zitong had already come to Liu Yuanzheng with a smile.
"Senior Brother Yuan Yi, I have seen you have free time these days, so why are you still here to hang out today?"
Liu Yuanzheng smiled slightly and bowed to Zhu Zi and the other place, "I have been wandering around and there is nothing to do. Master has been in seclusion for more than a month. He has been tense all year round, so he should be more relaxed and smooth. However, Junior Brother Yuanxin, can you gain something today?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zitong smiled even more. When she opened her hand, she held a spirit bead in her palm.
"Just just took a set of talismans and exchanged a senior brother of Xuanqing Immortal Sect with such a jade spirit bead. The Xuanqing Immortal Sect opened another jade ore the last year. Some jade spirit beads were dug out from the jade ore. It was natural and rare. Now this jade spirit bead is hard to see, so I am lucky."
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Even Liu Yuanzheng looked at the Jade Spirit Pearl a few more times.
Zhu Zi practiced the Yudu Divine Thunder lineage, and this thing is used together for him.
The two stood there and chatted leisurely for a few more words. At this moment, a few disciples of Taihua Immortal Sect walked slowly towards Liu Yuanzheng.
As we walked, we could vaguely see that the disciple among the five people was the head of them.
Before he could reach the point, Liu Yuanzheng noticed the aura of this person's cultivation. They were both in the foundation building realm, but the subtleties seemed obscure, and it was not certain that there were several levels of the foundation building realm.
The man had a warm smile on his face and raised his chin slightly. In the midst of lightning, Liu Yuan looked at the man from head to toe, and he was already worried.
"This smile seems a bit fake, but his head is slightly raised, and he feels a little arrogant when he sees it. He thinks he is not very cunning, but his personality is awkward, his body is stretched while walking, and he is not restrained, and his background will not be too bad.
Or maybe he was born in a small way, and once he was extraordinary, his mind and nature also expanded; although his steps were correct, his eyes were too active, half fell on me, and half quietly peeked at the female monks beside him."
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Yuanzheng subconsciously wanted to frown, but he also covered up his expression and raised his eyebrows and made a search.
After just a few steps, the man had already walked in and asked while bowing his hands.
"Wearing a blue and blue veil, gossip, Ruyi Taoist robe, but Senior Brother Yuanyi is in front of him?"
Liu Yuan's expression became more and more confused, but he still bowed his hand to return the gift.
"I am Yuan Yi, I wonder what this senior brother is called?"
When the two sects interacted, if they had no relatives in the past, they would be called each other by their senior brothers in the unified realm.
Hearing Liu Yuanzheng's question, the man pursed his lips gently, as if he was not very satisfied with Liu Yuanzheng's reaction.
Zhu Zitong, who was beside the young man, asked with a smile without waiting for the man to speak, "I'll introduce you, I'll introduce you, this is Senior Brother Zhengshan of Taihua Immortal Sect. We just met yesterday. Senior Brother Zhengshan, I wonder what important things are there for Senior Brother Xun Yuanyi?"
When Zhu Zitong spoke, the senior brother Zhengshan smiled warmly again and nodded at Zhu Zitong, "Senior Brother Yuanxin, today I came to find Senior Brother Yuanyi, it is not important to do it. I just want to ask Senior Brother Yuanyi for one thing."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuanzheng remained silent and showed a warm smile on his face.
"Oh? I dare not ask for advice. I don't know what happened. Senior Brother Zhengshan just asks you."
"What I want to ask is the incident on the night of the winter solstice more than a year ago."
