"I once came across a sacrificial refining technique. It can't be considered top-notch, but its effects aren't bad." Shen Luo spoke half-truthfully, half-jokingly. Inwardly, he was moved. The Nine-By-Nine Treasure Fusion Technique was truly amazing. It was worthy of being a secret technique of Fangcun Mountain.
With this technique in hand, if he stole other people's magic tools in the future, he would be able to use them for himself. Wouldn't that be great?
"For safety's sake, we shouldn't stay here for too long. Let's hurry to Chang 'an. Once we're there, we'll be safe." Xie Yuxin saw that Shen Luo wasn't hiding anything from her and smiled. She didn't pursue the matter and instead changed the topic.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, you seem to be in a hurry to get to Chang 'an?" Shen Luo asked.
"Of course. The Zhongyuan Festival is in three months. Chang 'an will hold a Carnival Festival. It's a rare opportunity, so I naturally have to go."
"Carnival Festival? What's that?" This was the first time Shen Luo had heard of such a thing.
"Chang 'an City is the capital of the Tang Empire. It is more than ten times more prosperous than Jianye City. Cultivators gather in the city, and there is also the National Guard of Immortal Cultivators appointed by the imperial court. It is a real giant city for cultivators. The Zhongyuan Carnival Festival is one of the three great festivals every year. It's a grand occasion for the entire Great Tang Empire's cultivation world. Every year, cultivators from other places will gather in Chang 'an. It can be said that ten thousand immortals have gathered. Treasures can be found everywhere at the festival. There are many rare high-grade spirit materials, high-grade pills, magic tools, and even magic treasures. In short, as long as you have enough immortal jades, there's almost nothing you can't buy. "
"There's actually such a grand occasion? Is it really possible to buy anything?" Shen Luo was quite tempted.
"That's not absolute. There are many merchants at the Carnival Festival. All sorts of auctions and exchanges are held one after another. Even if you have immortal jades, you'll have to be lucky enough to find the treasures you need. What do you want? I've attended a few of them and have a good understanding of them. Perhaps I can give you some advice, "Xie Yuxin said enthusiastically.
After a moment of thought, Shen Luo asked, "I really do want to buy something. Is there a spirit flame at the Carnival Festival?"
"Spiritual fire? This kind of special Heavenly Flame is not something that ordinary rogue cultivators would use. "Xie Yuxin was slightly startled.
Shen Luo cupped his hands and said, "I want to refine a magic tool, and I need to fuse it with spirit fire. It would be best if this spirit fire could restrain ghosts. If Fellow Xie has any clues, please enlighten me."
"Let's not talk about the nine Heaven Grade Spiritual Fires. Those are legendary Immortal items. Whether or not they exist in the mortal world is another matter. The thirty-six Earth Grade Spiritual Fires are also extremely precious and rare items in the world. Without enough luck, it's impossible to see them. Even the relatively common 108 types of Human Grade Spiritual Fire, as far as I know, are basically controlled by the major forces as soon as they appear and are used to cultivate Alchemists and Weapon Refiners. Brother Shen also has requirements for restraining ghosts. That will be even harder to find. " Xie Yuxin looked at Shen Luo with a strange expression. Then, he let out a long sigh and said.
Shen Luo asked, "I know that Spiritual Fires are difficult to find. Are they not available even during the Auspicious Year Festival?"
Xie Yuxin pondered for a moment and said, "As long as you have enough wealth, you will be able to purchase an ordinary Human Grade Spiritual Fire at the Auspicious Year Festival. As for those with special uses, you will have to rely on luck. By the way, I once saw a Mysterious True Sacred Flame at a convention a few years ago. It was fought over by several major forces. In the end, it seemed to be auctioned for nearly a thousand Celestial Jades, "Xie Yuxin said after thinking for a while.
"Profound True Sacred Flame! That was an Earth Grade Spiritual Fire. For nearly a thousand Immortal jades, it was truly expensive … "Shen Luo sucked in a breath of cold air.
This Spiritual Fire could easily fuse with various ores and was most suitable for refining tools. However, it wasn't suitable for refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.
Xie Yuxin said, "In short, once a Spiritual Fire appears, the various major forces will immediately fight over it. Shen Daoyou, if you want to compete for it during the Auspicious Year Festival, I'm afraid you will need to gather a lot of Immortal jades."
"Many thanks for Fellow Xie's advice." Shen Luo's face revealed a thoughtful expression as he expressed his thanks.
"Shen Daoyou, since you are interested in the Auspicious Year Festival, you should quickly set off. The sooner you arrive in Chang 'an, the sooner you can make preparations," Xie Yuxin said.
"I will certainly participate in the Auspicious Year Festival in Chang 'an City. However, I need to make some preparations before that. Why don't we meet in Chang' an in three months?" Shen Luo pondered for a moment and said.
"Alright, I will first inquire about the Spiritual Fire for you. Shen Daoyou, when you arrive in Chang 'an, you can go to the Yong Yang Street in the western part of the city to look for me." Xie Yuxin stared blankly for a moment, but didn't ask any questions.
"Then, I will have to trouble Fellow Xie." Shen Luo said gratefully.
"It's just a trivial matter. There's no need to thank me." Xie Yuxin smiled and immediately bid farewell. She flew towards a distant place.
Shen Luo watched her leave. He took out a map and checked the directions. Then, he immediately set off in the direction of Dazhou.
… …
Dazhou was located near Chang 'an. The land was fertile and abundant. The Great Tang Imperial Court had repeatedly exercised good governance in recent years, and because Dazhou was adjacent to the capital, officials at all levels didn't dare to plunder too much. As a result, the people here were rather prosperous.
Tangqiu County was a rather small county in Dazhou. It was famous for producing a special type of rice known as Red Beam Rice.
Red Beam Rice was not only fragrant and mellow, but also had a hint of sweetness. It was even more delicious than ordinary rice, and many high officials and nobles loved it. As a result, many merchants would come to Tangqiu County to purchase Red Beam Rice. As a result, Tangqiu County began to prosper.
In a bustling district of the county town, there was a three-story restaurant called the Red Fragrance Restaurant. This restaurant was famous throughout the entire Tangqiu County. In particular, the restaurant's signature wine, the Red Ridge Wine, was brewed using Red Ridge Rice. The wine was blood-red in color, and the taste was mellow. It was almost comparable to the wine shipped from the Western Regions, and attracted many foreigners to come here.
It was currently lunchtime, and all three floors of the Red Fragrance Restaurant were full. On the third floor, a young man in a green robe sat by the window. He held a cup of red Red Beam Wine in one hand and a blue jade tablet in the other.
The third floor of the restaurant was very lively. The sound of toasts could be heard everywhere, and the fragrance of food and wine filled the air. However, the young man was not affected in the slightest. He exuded a sense of tranquility. Many diners noticed him and looked over.
This person was none other than Shen Luo, who had spent about a month traveling all the way from the Eastern Gulf.
When he first started cultivating, his five senses had been greatly enhanced, but he didn't know how to control them. He felt bored in crowded places. Now that his cultivation had advanced to a rather high level, he could control his entire body freely. Naturally, he was no longer affected by the smell of foreign objects.
Shen Luo ignored the other diners. As he drank, he played with the jade tablet in his hand.
