Cultivation World 16 Space Gourd
As October approached, more monks settled in the town of Denglin.
The business of Chardin House has also improved a lot, as it is no longer exclusively supplying Hengwu Pavilion.
After some inquiries, Xie Yunsui found out that these people were all heading towards Hualuo City.
"The Wanxiang Building auction only happens every three to five years. I heard I got a great treasure this time, so of course I have to try my luck."
"I heard the grand finale is an Earth-level treasure, and the main attraction seems to be a Heaven-level technique. Whether it's true or not, I'll find out when I go and take a look."
"This time, Qingyan Sect and Tiangang Sword Sect have both sent Jindan disciples to go there. I believe they are determined to win."
"Let's not think about the grand finale. This auction is quite large, so even if we can snag one or two Xuan-level magical instruments, we'll be making a profit."
…
"It seems this auction is even grander than we imagined." Xie Yunsui counted the store's inventory and said, "If we arrive too late, there might not be a place to stay. We'll probably have to leave early."
Ling Xiyuan had asked the Pavilion Master when he went up the mountain this morning. He would take Zhao Ying and Qingwen with him on a flying magic tool, and they would go in a different way.
The two of them packed up the spiritual plants on the mountain and set off.
Ling Xiyuan had always been in a hurry when he went out for training before, but this time he just sat in the carriage, eating and drinking, and practicing when he encountered evil monsters on the road, which was quite comfortable.
"We'll arrive in Jinbao City tomorrow morning. I heard there's a lot of delicious food here, so we can stay for a couple more days."
He looked at the map, his eyes full of anticipation for delicious food.
Xie Yunsui felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Is there a Sunset Cliff near Jinbao City?"
"Yes, Sunset Cliff has a unique scenery, and mortals flock there to enjoy it."
Xie Yunsui curled his lips and smiled. It was not only the beautiful scenery, but there was also a secret hiding place behind the waterfall at the foot of Sunset Cliff. Inside was a ground-level treasure, the Min Tian Sword, which was the protagonist's natal magic weapon in the later period.
No one knew that such a treasure was hidden in such a crowded place. It was only when Xie Yan accidentally entered and discovered it later when he was avoiding being hunted down.
Now, this treasure is naturally invisible and cannot be noticed by anyone.
However, the Min Tian Sword is spiritual and can gather the essence of the moon. Therefore, a patch of Moon Spirit Grass grows near the Sunset Cliff, which is the main ingredient for refining the Rejuvenating Pill.
This anti-aging pill has little market among cultivators. Only cultivators in the Qi training stage who cannot use spiritual power to maintain their youthful appearance will use it. Most of the people who like it are the princes and nobles in the mortal world, who compete to buy it.
It is necessary to go there and refine a batch of anti-aging pills to exchange for some silver.
They stayed in various towns and cities and had their meals at any place, regardless of the standard. They could have a bowl of noodles with gravy for ten cents or a banquet for a hundred taels of silver. They spent money like water.
They were discussing which night to go when suddenly the horse in front made a whirring sound, raised its hooves high, and the whole carriage overturned.
Xie Yunsui went out and quickly pulled the reins, only then he discovered that there was a black mark on the body of a horse on the left.
That is the mark of evil spirit.
They did not rent a luxurious carriage, but simply used their spiritual power to steer the horses along the official road. They were not ostentatious along the way, and were no more noticeable than those ordinary wealthy businessmen and nobles.
The two of them didn't have any enemies. The demon cultivators they met in the Dansheng Secret Realm were dealt with when they met. Naturally, it was impossible for someone to tip off the demon cultivators, so they were not targeting them.
Xie Yunsui used his energy and released his spiritual sense to explore to the left. Sure enough, he felt a group of cultivators confronting several demon cultivators in the dense forest.
When these people were fighting, spiritual energy and demonic energy were flying around wildly, and one of the demonic energy flew onto their horses.
Ling Xiyuan also sensed it and looked at Xie Yunsui, as if asking if he needed help.
Xie Yunsui paused and said, "They should be able to handle it."
It’s not that they don’t want to “help others”, but that the monks may not want anyone else to come out and share a piece of the pie.
A sharp shout came from a distance, and Ling Xiyuan sounded familiar: "Is it Zhu Ming from the Bixiao Sect?"
“It seems so.”
Since they were acquaintances, there were not so many taboos. Xie Yunsui and Ling Xiyuan parked the carriage and went over to take a look.
But when he came over, the matter had already been resolved. Several demon cultivators fell to the ground, unable to breathe.
However, the condition of several disciples of the Bixiao Sect was not very good either. Some of them were sitting cross-legged to recover, and their acquaintance Zhu Ming was comforting a female cultivator.
Xie Yunsui and the other man didn't conceal their presence, so the group quickly noticed them. Zhu Ming turned around and saw that they were familiar faces. He immediately came over to greet them: "What a coincidence, meeting you here, are you also going to the auction at Wanxiang Building?"
Ling Xiyuan smiled and said, "Most people heading towards Hualuo City nowadays are here for the auction. Let's go and see what's going on."
Zhu Ming glanced at the two of them: "You... together?"
Ling Xiyuan smiled and nodded.
Zhu Mingliang: "Congratulations."
Xie Yunsui pointed at a few demon cultivators and asked, "Were you ambushed by them?"
"Yes, we encountered monsters and beasts harming people in Tingquan Town before, and were ambushed by demon cultivators here." Zhu Ming sighed, "What bad luck."
Xie Yunsui laughed twice: "Misfortunes often bring blessings, isn't this a win?"
He pointed at the demon cultivator's Qiankun bag on the ground, indicating that as long as he was still alive, he was not unlucky.
Several Bixiao Sect disciples had almost recovered and stood up at the same time.
"Junior Brother Zhu, are these two your friends?"
Zhu Ming introduced the two parties to each other. When introducing Xie Yunsui, he added, "He is the immortal friend Xie who sold me the high-grade pill and space gourd in the secret realm before."
"I've heard of Immortal Friend Xie for a long time." Zhu Ming's senior brother Liu Binhong sighed, "Your space gourd can be said to have saved our lives."
Xie Yunsui: "Hmm?"
Zhu Ming explained, "It's like this. We were ambushed by demonic cultivators just now. All of our brothers and sisters' Qiankun bags were stolen, and their spiritual imprints were wiped out. Their magic tools and elixirs were all inside. Without their Qiankun bags, they could only fight the demonic cultivators with their bare hands, and they almost got themselves into trouble."
He picked up the spatial gourd at his waist and said with a smile, "This spatial gourd has an anti-theft mark. It's the only one that hasn't been stolen. Fortunately, I put a lot of elixirs and magic tools in it, which I distributed to my brothers. That's how I recovered everyone's Qiankun bags and dealt with these demonic cultivators."
The demon cultivators were not foolish enough to act rashly when faced with so many immortal cultivators. They knew that when the cultivators were relaxing, their things were stored in their Qiankun bags. These people wanted to make a fortune, so they secretly devised a plan to steal their Qiankun bags.
If Zhu Ming didn't have an anti-theft space gourd, which triggered his vigilance when it was touched, they might have discovered that the Qiankun bag was missing by now.
In the best case scenario, we would return empty-handed before reaching Hualuo City, and in the worst case scenario, we would even lose our lives here.
It is no exaggeration to say that it "saved their lives."
They saw the benefits of Zhu Ming's space gourd and now they all want to buy one from Xie Yunsui for their own use.
"It's a shame to sell such a precious gourd like Xie Xianyou so cheaply. It would be better to take it to Wanxiang Tower, where it should be able to fetch a good price at auction."
Liu Binhong did not feel complacent because he bought the space gourd at a low price. Instead, he advised him to increase the value of the gourd.
"I'll consider it." Xie Yunsui said with a smile.
He didn't know at this time that the space gourd was originally just a casual item he took out to make his first pot of gold in the secret realm. Before it became famous, many people had already asked about it.
Hualuo City, Vientiane Tower.
"Why is there another person asking about the Space Gourd?" Wan Tong, the manager in the building, flipped through the auction booklet again and again, then turned to glance at the people below: "Did those people tell me what the Space Gourd is?"
"I've heard someone say that the Space Gourd has the same function as the Qiankun Bag, but the space is only one cubic meter."
"That's it?" Manager Wan was puzzled. "Even a top-grade Qiankun bag doesn't qualify as an auction item. Is this the first time these people have heard of our Wanxiang Building? Do they think we're just a common grocery store?"
"I remember now!" someone suddenly said, "Miss Lin Er of the Seven Saints Sect mentioned that although this spatial gourd is small, it has a great advantage. As long as it recognizes its owner, it will have a theft-proof function and will not be stolen or removed by others."
"Oh?" Wantong became interested. "Let's check it out again. If we can't find the source, we can get one or two gourds."
Originally, when he heard the name of the space gourd for the first time, he did not take it seriously. He guessed from the name that it was a space storage device. Later, when he asked more people, he realized that something was wrong.
Could it be that a remarkable magic weapon has appeared during this period?
He asked several familiar weapon masters one by one. They had specialized in this field for many years, and any unique new products in the world of cultivation would definitely be known to them. However, he never expected that they didn't know either.
A few days later, Wantong got a space gourd that looked very simple.
Although he was quite knowledgeable, he couldn't recognize what formation the patterns on it belonged to. What was strange was that there were three crystal stones containing energy inlaid on it.
He collected the gourd and went to the weapon master in the building: "Senior Yuan, can you see if you can replicate this?"
Yuan Dang put down the hammer, took the space gourd, looked at it, frowned, and did not speak for a long time.
"What's wrong? Are you having any difficulties?" Wantong asked.
Yuan Dang spoke frankly: "This pattern formation is unique, and I have never seen such a crystal before."
I'm afraid that even if I draw its shape, I won't be able to achieve the desired effect.
"Who do you think might have been behind this?" Wantong continued to ask.
Every instrument maker has his or her own unique habits and production methods. The products made by skilled instrument makers will have certain anti-counterfeiting marks that laymen cannot see, but experienced instrument makers can tell at a glance.
The craftsman who can make such a unique artifact must be no ordinary person. Wantong wants to trace its source.
Yuan Dang pondered for a long time and said, "This is not the work of any weapon master I know. If there is any weapon master in the world who can create such a magical instrument, the only one I remember is the one named Xie..."
"Xie? The Xie family?"
"The Xie family."
Wan Tong frowned: "This is not easy to deal with."
Everyone knows that the Xie family, who were highly skilled in refining weapons, had offended some powerful person and were wiped out overnight.
If this was really made by the deceased head of the Xie family, I'm afraid no one else can make it.
That's not right. If this spatial gourd has such wonderful uses, why didn't it make any noise when Xie Yuan was still alive? Speaking of which, I've only heard about this spatial gourd in the last few months... The grass on Xie's grave is three meters tall. It can't be a new invention he developed during his lifetime.
Wantong took the gourd and went to find two instrument masters to ask if they could replicate it, and the answers they got were the same.
There was even a weapon master who jokingly said that the formation style here was not like that of their own world.
Wantong called a few people over with a sullen face.
"The auction is coming up soon, and many people have asked if there's a space gourd in this sale. No matter what, we have to include it in this sale. No matter what method you use, I want to see ten of these gourds by the end of November!"
