Heavenly Locust Emperor

Chapter 43: Meteor Pavilion

Lu Qingmei is dancing with the sword, the sword moves with the wind, but the heart does not move.

The sound of the sword is the sound of the wind, and the movement of the wind is the movement of the sword.

The sword made of twigs, the shadow of the sword flew, aroused the Lichun sword energy in the 24 sword energy, and she was trying to figure out the sword intent.

There is a saying in the sword scriptures:

"Lichun, the first month's day. Standing, the beginning of construction, the energy of the five elements, the past passes, and the coming continues. At this point, the spring tree energy begins to arrive, so it is called Li Ye."

Lichun is the first of the 24 sword qi.

Li means "start".

Spring represents warmth and growth.

She suddenly felt a kind of sword intent, as if she had cultivated this sword intent a long time ago, she was extremely proficient, and she began to feel joy inexplicably, which also coincided with the meaning of beginning of spring.

The meaning of the sword penetrates the dead branches, and the dead trees can be in spring.

This is a branch of cherry tree, very beautiful.

Lu Qingmei looked at this cherry blossom tree with bright eyes. Under the sword intent of Lichun, the dead tree grew countless cherry blossoms every spring.

Is this that all plants, trees, bamboos and rocks can be used as swords?

She felt now that every petal could be her sword.

"Master Cao?"

Lu Qingmei smiled slightly, and his ordinary facial features were also particularly bright because of this smile.

Cao Cuo also saw this registered disciple, and maybe he will call her a fellow Taoist in a few years, and a senior in decades.

Picking up a branch, Cao Cuo said with a faint smile:

"Lu Qingmei, your swordsmanship has already given birth to artistic conception, which is a transformation of swordsmanship, and the power of the one-style magic knife I created is not bad."

"Let me use swordsmanship, and at the same level, try your swordsmanship inherited from the Supreme Master."

Lu Qingmei nodded, Master Cao wanted to try her swordsmanship, she had no reason to object.

She just realized that petals become swords, and she also wants Master Cao to see her growth.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the sword, the sound of the knife, the sound of flowers falling...

...

In this sword test, only 72 moves were made.

Cao Cuo praised a few words, commented a few words, and left, feeling frustrated when he left.

"Failure, what a failure! Just now, Yishen Yishen took a step forward in swordsmanship and wanted to teach an apprentice, but he didn't expect that apprentice to be better than you, so he taught you again."

Just now he said: "I want to try the inherited swordsmanship of the Supreme Master", he wanted to use the excuse of sparring to let Lu Qingmei see his Yishen swordsmanship, which can be regarded as showing some of his swordsmanship. Benefit from it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingmei thought that the other party wanted to learn about the inheritance of the Supreme Master, so she used 24 sword qi back and forth three times.This directly makes Cao wrong. Lu Qingmei has 23 sword intents that are comparable to the sword intent of a magic sword.

And the strongest Lichun sword intent is the sum of the other 23 sword intents. Cao Cuo's sword skills are not as good as the opponent's sword skills, and he is no longer Lu Qingmei's opponent at the same level.

He can't teach her anymore.

"This may be the last time our master and apprentice will discuss each other. Next time, you may already be a pioneer on the road to longevity."

After observing 24 sword qi, his one-style magic sword has been improved to a higher level.

......

Shoushanfang City, Izumobo.

This square is one of the twelve consecutive squares of Shoushan, facing Qinyun Mountain in the north of Shoushan.

This mountain has luxuriant vegetation and is rich in elixir. Thousands of years ago, Jin Kingdom developed Nanyi, and many monsters escaped into this mountain. Legend has it that there are no less than a hundred monsters in the alchemy realm in the mountain.

Although Qinyun Mountain is full of dangers, the mountain is rich in products. Every year, countless monks will enter it regardless of life and death, and earn a hundred times the profit.

Izumofang and monks on both sides of Qinyun Mountain have close contacts. There are often casual monks or monks from small families who form a team here to go to Qinyun Mountain to hunt demons.

There are also a large number of herb pickers and demon hunters who have returned from capturing Yunshan to sell a large number of goods in Izumofang. After all, this place is not as strict as Nanyi City, and the business exchanges are more prosperous, and they have the opportunity to sell at high prices.

In Izumobo, materials such as monster bones and skins from Qinyun Dashan and elixir in the mountain are the top two bulk goods.

The third place is all kinds of talismans that wear out extremely quickly, among which the three treasure talismans are the most consumed, and the supply exceeds demand.

...

Today, a person came to Izumobo.

Dressed in gray clothes, about thirty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hulking waist, it is Cao Cuo who passed through the Blood River inheritance and changed his appearance.

Izumobo is very different from the other places he has come into contact with. There is a little less fairy spirit here and a little more popularity.

The road is wide and full of traffic, and all kinds of goods are piled up like mountains. Among them, all kinds of strange monsters, dead or alive, are put on the shelves by the monks. All the year round, he went deep into the Qinyun Mountain to fight.

Cao Cuo planned to come to Izumofang to sell his newly made batch of talisman money. He had been inspecting the city for more than half a month, and finally gave up the time-consuming bulk sales, but planned to find a big power , solve the problem once.

"Meteor Pavilion."

"This is one of the seven shops that are as famous as Jindingxuan?"

Meteor Pavilion, one of the seven major shops in the Twelve Squares of Shoushan. The pavilion is divided into nine levels, like a nine-level heavenly palace, with a hollow interior. From the first floor, you can directly see the highest pavilion roof. The mirror, in which meteors and astronomical phenomena evolve, is magnificent.

"Senior, may I ask what treasures you want to see in my Meteor Pavilion?"

As soon as Cao Cuo revealed his foundation-building consciousness, a maid in the pavilion greeted him on a crane.

"I'm going to choose a high-grade magic weapon."

"Senior, please board this crane."

After figuring out the needs of the guests, Cao Cuo was invited to the crane by the maid.

This spirit crane has a wingspan of nearly four meters and a spacious back with fur pads for comfortable feet.It is also a monster in the late stage of Qi training, raised by Baoxing Pavilion since childhood, and has extraordinary spirituality.

"Wow!"

The spirit crane let out a cry, and directly carried Cao Cuo to the sixth floor.

"Senior, we are here."

As soon as Cao Cuo got off Linghe, the maid fed a spirit bait, and Linghe took her away contentedly.

Soon.

A handsome young man in a blue robe greeted him, and politely cupped his hands and said:

"I've seen this fellow daoist, whose surname is Han, who is the shopkeeper of the Meteor Pavilion."

Cao mistakenly saw that the other party was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and replied:

"My surname is Wei, and I know that there are many treasures in the Meteor Pavilion, so I want to choose a magic weapon here."

Shopkeeper Han pondered for a moment before asking:

"I don't know, fellow Daoist Wei, do you want a high-grade magic weapon, or a unique magic weapon?"

"Peerless magic weapon? Is there any magic weapon for sale in Meteor Pavilion?"

Cao Cuo was taken aback for a moment. The shopkeeper of Jindingxuan once said that the rare artifacts need to be practiced by multiple refiners, and the finished products are very rare, and usually only appear in some auctions.

Shopkeeper Han replied:

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood. There is no magic weapon for sale in this pavilion. If you want it, this pavilion can make one for you."

"Oh, why have I never heard that the Meteor Pavilion can customize exquisite magical artifacts for guests?"

Cao Cuo was puzzled. Of course, he had carefully studied Meteor Pavilion before coming here, and he had never heard of this service.

Shopkeeper Han explained patiently.

The Meteor Pavilion is the oldest of the seven major shops. It was built thousands of years ago. established a system:

As long as the monks who have succeeded in building a foundation within the age of 40 can customize a magic weapon of any grade in the Meteor Pavilion.

Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to customize the magic weapon, it also made a lot of contacts for the Meteor Pavilion, which has been used by successive pavilion masters to this day.

However, there are very few genius monks who succeeded in building a foundation before the age of 40, so there are not many people who know about customizing magical weapons, and Cao Cuo certainly has no way of knowing.

There is such a system?Cao Cuo asked:

"Then how does Shopkeeper Han know that my age was not more than forty when I established the foundation?"

Shopkeeper Han pointed to the glazed treasure on the top of the pavilion with a smile, and introduced:

"This Meteor Treasure Realm is a top-notch magic weapon left by the first pavilion master, which can record and collect information from customers."

This mirror-shaped instrument can actually detect customer information and collect data?

Han Ce didn't seem to notice the change in the guest's expression, and continued: "Once fellow daoist enters the pavilion, the astrology inside will change, and the shopkeeper in the pavilion will come out to receive him in person."

"It turns out that shopkeeper Han is the big shopkeeper of this Meteor Pavilion, what a disrespect!"

Cao Cuo knew that the big shopkeeper was quite the general manager of the big store, and his status was second only to the big boss behind the store.

Unexpectedly, this shopkeeper Han is actually the big shopkeeper of the Meteor Pavilion, so his cultivation is by no means revealed in the early stage of foundation establishment, it should be a hidden cultivation.

"Blind man Han Ce is the master shopkeeper of the Meteor Pavilion, and he recommends custom-made magical artifacts to fellow daoists just to make more good friends."

"If this move can make fellow daoists patronize for a long time, we will still make a profit. Fellow daoists don't need to worry too much."

In order to show his sincerity, Han Ce revealed that his true cultivation was actually a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"I'm Wei Jinhuan, a talisman master, Han Dao is friendly and clever in the method of restraining breath."

Cao mistakenly reported his disguised identity directly.

Seeing the other party's lack of interest in custom-made magical artifacts, Han Ce didn't care, and then sold it: "The breath-holding technique I use is called [Stomach Technique], and it is a rare secret technique that is on sale in this pavilion. It can be cultivated to great success, and can completely isolate one's own breath. It is absolutely difficult for monks in the same realm to detect it. Only a spiritual sense higher than a big realm can see through it. If you are interested in Wei Daoyou, I can get it for you now."

Cao Cuo immediately became interested. The green locust in the state of green locust gu, coupled with this secret technique, is simply the most perfect lurker.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what is the price of this secret technique?"

"Inheritance is rare, and this [Stomach Technique] is a rare secret technique of restraining breath. The price is [-] talismans."

Really expensive!

Cao Cuo could only give up for the time being. Although this breath-suppressing secret technique is rare, it is not urgently needed now. There will be opportunities in the future.

Now I only have talisman coins and Fire Crow Talismans on me, and I need to use them in more critical places.

"Forget about the secret technique, Fellow Daoist Han, I want you to pick a ready-made high-grade magic weapon."

The magic weapon can assist the practice of heart chakra, and has the effect of strengthening spiritual consciousness.

"A top-grade magic weapon?" Han Ce was a little surprised. He just introduced the custom-made magic weapon and the sting technique, just to show the background of the Meteor Pavilion, not because he thought the other party could afford it.

But now it seems that this monk in the early stage of foundation establishment really has good financial resources.

"This kind of magic weapon is made of rare materials, and it's not easy to refine it. There are only three pieces in my pavilion. Fellow Daoists, wait a moment." After finishing speaking, Han Ce took out a jade talisman and began to communicate with his spiritual consciousness through sound transmission.

It takes less than half a moment.

Only three maids came out with three silver trays.

Han Ce cast a spell to release the restriction on the silver plate, revealing the three instruments placed on the plate:

The first piece: a white jade mirror.

The second piece: a cyan flag.

The third piece: a dark blue orb the size of an egg.
