Zhu Yao immediately flew to the Main Mountain. Wen Yu was already pacing around anxiously, and the moment he saw her, he immediately came to welcome her. "Old Ancestor, I don't know why, but this Sword Seeking Peak suddenly erupted. If this continues, I'm afraid it will affect our sect. "
"Activate the Protective Mountain Formation. I'll go take a look." Zhu Yao instructed, and then flew towards Sword Seeking Peak on her flying sword. She faintly guessed that the rampage of these spiritual swords might be related to the Metal Spirit in her body.
The closer she got, the more she could feel the Sword Qi of those spiritual swords. She laid down a defensive enchantment and stopped less than five steps away from those spiritual swords. She took out her Gold Spirit.
Sure enough, the spirit swords that were still restless just now suddenly stopped, and that piercingly cold Sword Qi also slowed down quite a bit.
"Jin Ling, it seems like you can't follow me anymore."
"Ji?" The rock tilted to the right, seemingly confused.
"These swords are sentient." Zhu Yao pointed to the front. These swords had definitely gone berserk because they realized that the Metal Spirit was missing. "You're the one who gave them spirituality. Once you leave, they'll turn back into ordinary magic tools. Unless you have a way to calm them down, I can't take you with me. "
"Ji!" The Metal Spirit jumped up and instantly became excited. It screeched at the swords flying in the sky, "Ji ji ji ji ji … Ji ji ji … Ji ji …"
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. No matter how many times it cries out, it's useless, right? These spirit swords obviously didn't want the Metal Spirit to leave.
"Chick …" The Metal Spirit let out another long cry.
Suddenly, those floating swords seemed to lose their momentum and fell down with a swoosh. It was as if it was raining spiritual swords. In a short while, all the spiritual swords were gone. Even the piercingly cold Sword Qi had disappeared without a trace.
Damn.
It really worked!
So, the common language of the weapon world was Ji Xing?
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Honestly speaking, she really did not want to bring the Metal Spirit along. This thing was basically a super cheat, whoever picked it up would become a bug. It was better to stay on Sword Seeking Peak. After all, with so many spirit swords around, unless the Metal Spirit was willing, even if someone discovered it, no one would be able to take it away.
But it just had to stick to him. I don't have a Gold Spirit Root.
He sighed deeply. He could only put away the Metal Spirit.
She had easily dealt with the spiritual swords' rebellion. Wen Yu's eyes were practically glowing when he looked at her. Zhu Yao took the opportunity to suggest going out for a trip. As for the reason: The world is so big. She wanted to see it.
Wen Yu's face collapsed, and with a face full of snot and tears, he howled once again. "Old Ancestor, you can't leave! If you leave and abandon Forgotten God Palace, what will we, who are all alone, do?"
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She sounded as though she was a heartless man.
"Alright, I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Old ancestor …"
He still wanted to say something, but Zhu Yao's figure flashed, and she nimbly slipped away. If she were to continue talking to him, she wouldn't be able to leave.
Wen Yu's heart was full of grievances, but before he could pour it out, the other party disappeared. Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
It seemed like this Sovereign Yu Yao still did not have any sense of belonging towards Forgotten God Palace, which was why she left so decisively. No, he had to think of a way to make her stay here forever.
Yes, everything is for the sect!
Zhu Yao madly flew several hundred kilometers, and only when she saw a large body of water, did she slow down. Wen Yu had unintentionally revealed that when the girl Ying Luo used her body as a sacrifice to activate the ancient sealing technique, she acted as a vessel to carry the Devil. The five mystic artifacts were scattered to five different places by the residual energy of the sealing formation. One of them was in the vicinity of this sea region.
Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, cast an art, and turned into her modern appearance. She then concealed her own cultivation, and only revealed her Azoth Core cultivation. She then headed towards an island at the center of the sea.
The island was extremely quiet, as though there weren't many people around.
That's not right. Didn't Wen Yu say that this island was a large-scale deity cultivation market? There should be a lot of practitioners here, so why was it so quiet?
She headed towards the center of the island, and the number of people in her surroundings gradually increased. However, they were all hurrying towards a certain direction, and they even had strange excited looks on their faces.
"Fellow daoist." Zhu Yao stopped a Foundation practitioner, and politely asked. "I wonder where you guys are heading to in such a hurry?"
That Foundation practitioner was a little annoyed when he was stopped. However, seeing that the other party's cultivation level was higher than his, he could only reply with a sullen voice. "The Treasure Gathering Pavilion's auction is about to begin. We are naturally rushing over to participate in it. If we are any later, we won't be able to see it. "
Treasure Gathering Pavilion? Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. Just as she was about to clarify, that Foundation practitioner had already walked far away, as though he would not be able to make it in time. Was that auction really that interesting? Compared to the auction, she was more worried about how she was going to find that mystic artifact.
Turning around, just as she was about to head to another place to take a look, a green-robed man walked towards her. He said with a gentle smile. "Fellow daoist, aren't you going to take a look? This is a grand gathering that only happens once every hundred years in the cultivation world, you know. It has always been filled with countless rare and precious treasures. "
Zhu Yao sized up this youth. He looked to be about twenty years old, and his cultivation level was at the early stages of Foundation. He was dressed in a green robe, and there was a symbol of a copper coin embroidered on his sleeves. She came to a realization, and immediately said. "You're a prop?"
"Strip?" He had a puzzled look.
"What I mean is, you're someone from that whatever Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and you're here to pull in business."
His expression stiffened for a moment, and then immediately recovered. "Hoho, fellow daoist, don't misunderstand. I just saw that you looked unfamiliar, so I wanted to introduce you."
"Thank you!" Zhu Yao turned around and left. "I'm not interested."
"Fellow daoist." That youth grew anxious, and once again blocked in front of her. "This auction only happens once every hundred years, you know?"
Zhu Yao spread out her hands. "I don't have any money!" She was as poor as a doornail, alright?
"Fellow daoist, you must be joking." His face looked as though she was joking. "My Treasure Gathering Pavilion has always had a wide network, and we are well-informed. We have been on this island for several thousand years, and the treasures we have obtained are countless as well. Even if fellow daoist doesn't attend the auction, it would be great for you to take a look at the others."
Well-informed? Zhu Yao was startled. Then, could she inquire about the location of that mystic artifact? Her interest was instantly piqued. "Then let's go take a look."
"Fellow daoist, please!"
Zhu Yao followed after that youth, and only then did she realize. There was indeed a large-scale market at the center of the island, however, it was concealed by a formation in the surroundings, and it was hard to detect it from the sky. The moment she stepped past the formation of the market, the world in front of her had completely changed. Practitioners were walking to and fro everywhere. On both sides were bustling streets, and at the sides were various shops selling talismans, medicinal pellets and so on. However, all of them had the symbol of a copper coin at the entrance. It seemed like that Treasure Gathering Pavilion had opened a chain store.
That person led her into a store that sold mystic artifacts. There weren't many people in the store. Two people dressed in the same attire as the youth welcomed them, and bowed towards the youth. However, he waved his hands, and personally brought her around.
It seemed like this person. And he was even the leader.
"I wonder how I should address fellow daoist?"
"My surname is Lu. A single character, Guo. "Zhu Yao casually made up a story.
Lu Guo? What's so strange?
"So it's fellow daoist Lu." He still politely bowed. "This one is Zhen Yuan. This is the store that has the most complete collection of mystic artifacts in Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Fellow daoist Lu, feel free to look around. "
Zhu Yao followed him as they walked, and was not interested in these mystic artifacts. In any case, they were all fifth-ranked and below. In her heart, she was thinking of a way to inquire about the situation of that sealing mystic artifact without leaving a trace.
"Fellow daoist Lu, feel free to take a look. This one is not boasting, but in this world, top-grade mystic artifacts can only be found in my Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Furthermore, there are many of them, and we have everything you wish for."
Zhu Yao swept a glance at him. This person sure knew how to advertise, as he had everything she wished for. Let her take a look at the one used to seal the Devil though …
The hell!
That pitch-black fan, and the sealing runes were even flashing on it? She wasn't seeing things, right?
"Fellow daoist, you have good eyes!" Zhen Yuan immediately came over, picked up that fan, and said. "This is one of the mystic artifacts used to seal the Devil back then."
"…" It's actually true, hey! Isn't this a little too casual!? "This … Is this really the mystic artifact used to seal the Devil?"
"Of course it's real." His face was filled with sincerity. "And it's even a fifth-ranked mystic artifact. Though due to the sealing arts, it is unable to unleash the full strength of a fifth-ranked mystic artifact, this is one of a kind in this world … Five sets of Devil mystic artifacts, it's very meaningful. How about it, fellow daoist? Do you want to have one? It's only a hundred mid-grade spirit stones, you know? You won't suffer a loss if you buy it for a hundred, and you won't be fooled if you buy it for a hundred. "
"…"
Is it really alright to sell a mystic artifact used to seal the Devil so casually? Do you have to be this casual, hey? Where's your integrity, hey?
Zhen Yuan saw that she did not reply for a long while, and gritted his teeth. "How about this, fellow daoist? If you really like it, I can give you a 50% discount. Fifty mid-grade spirit stones, how about it?"
"…" Zhu Yao felt that her worldview had to be adjusted.
"Fellow daoist, this is already the lowest price. I can't go any lower."
"…"
"Why don't you just tell me, how much is it?"
"…"
"Fellow daoist, we have to do business as well. Any lower and we won't be able to pass."
"…"
Zhu Yao carefully inspected that fan. The sealing runes on it faintly emitted out divine might, and within the fan, there was even black devilish aura circulating. This was indeed one of the five mystic artifacts.
She never expected that she would find her target so quickly. She wanted to buy it, but the main point was, she really did not have any money on her. Earlier, she left in a hurry, and had completely forgotten to advance her wages to Wen Yu.
After pondering for a moment, she immediately summoned the flying sword Wen Yu gave her. "How about this? I left in a hurry, so I didn't bring any spirit stones. Though this flying sword of mine is a fourth-ranked mystic artifact, it's a high-grade one. How about I use it to exchange for this fan of yours? "
Zhen Yuan was startled. A hint of brilliance flashed past his eyes, but it immediately disappeared without a trace. Smiling at her, he said. "Fellow daoist, exchanging your fourth-ranked mystic artifact for my fifth-ranked one isn't too good, right?"
"Then forget it." Zhu Yao turned around and left. Did he think she was blind? This mystic artifact had evidently been placed here for a very long time. The reason why it could not be sold was most probably because it sealed the Devil, making it unusable. How could it still be considered as a fifth-ranked mystic artifact? (To be continued …)
