Chapter 129: Yellow sparrow sees yellow sparrow again, scoundrel hears scoundrel again

~21 min read 4,173 words

Since the Blood-Burning Pill formula was deduced, more than three months have passed.

During this period, Luo Chen refined it a total of more than ten times, and only succeeded in two furnaces.

The first furnace obtained five pills, and the second furnace obtained seven pills due to the improvement of the alchemy fire.

A total of twelve pills.

He used demon beasts to test the pills, consuming one.

He gave Wang Yuan two pills.

Therefore, there are only nine Blood-Burning Pills left in his hand now.

This time at the black market auction, he took out six pills, leaving only three for himself.

The number "three" was carefully considered by him.

The effect of the Blood-Burning Pill is extremely special, but the sequelae are also very obvious.

Every time it is used, it will damage the body.

If it exceeds three pills in a row, irreversible injuries will appear.

Unless it is an existence like Wang Yuan who takes the path of body cultivation, ordinary Qi Refining cultivators cannot avoid this kind of injury.

Luo Chen still expects the Great Dao, so naturally, he will not let himself fall into such a predicament.

Six Blood-Burning Pills, five of which were auctioned at prices of 120, 90, 80, 90, and 100 respectively.

The first one was collected by Master Tianxingzi, who had said before that he would buy it at the highest auction price.

Therefore, it added up to a total harvest of six hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It has to be said that Luo Chen didn't expect it to be auctioned at such a high price.

After all, this is just a first-order low-grade pill!

However, upon seeing those cultivators who won elixirs immediately tuck them away with impatience, Luo Chen seemed to understand something.

This time is not that time!

Since the closing of the Discussion Platform in Dahe Square, conflicts have increased day by day.

It's like a huge powder keg, which could be ignited at any time.

With the discovery of the Core Formation ruins, Dahe Square has become even more chaotic now.

And the Blood-Burning Pill can explode combat power at a critical moment, which can catch the enemy off guard, and can also let oneself luckily save one's life.

If you don't look at the curative effect, but only look at the result.

The Blood-Burning Pill is not a demonic pill at all, it is clearly a righteous pill that saves people and lives!

"Yes, the pill I refine is a righteous pill!"

After thinking through this, Luo Chen's mood, which was happy because of the six hundred spirit stones, became even more pleasant.

As several other cultivators hung up things to auction, it came to the last stage of autonomous trading by loose cultivators.

Luo Chen had a goal early on.

"Daoist friend wants these five bottles of Moistening Bright Pearl Liquid?"

The beautiful female cultivator was very surprised, she thought no one was interested in this thing.

Hearing this voice, Luo Chen had a familiar feeling, as if he had heard it once somewhere.

However, he couldn't recall it for a while, so he stopped dwelling on this matter.

"I heard that this medicine can effectively improve eye damage caused by excessive use of Spiritual Eye Technique, so I want to buy it for backup, I don't know the price?"

"How about the starting bid I hung just now?" The beautiful female cultivator said nervously.

Luo Chen frowned, "If it were this price, I could have just bid for it directly earlier."

The female cultivator smiled bitterly: "But if I want to be cheaper, I can't even recover the cost."

"Oh?"

Cost!

Luo Chen tentatively said: "As far as I know, this medicine is produced by the Yuding Sword Sect and is rarely sold to the outside world. Even if it appears, it is often at formal auctions."

"I don't know where you got these five bottles of Moistening Bright Pearl Liquid? Of course, if it's inconvenient to say, forget it."

The beautiful female cultivator shook her head: "There is nothing that cannot be said to others. Now this medicine has been put on the shelves of the Yuding Sword Pavilion in other square markets, marked at one hundred. I bought five bottles in Taishan Square back then, just wanting to take them back to see if I could turn them around and earn a little."

The Yuding Sword Pavilion in Taishan Square has already put them on the shelves.

Why haven't the goods spread to Dahe Square yet?

Luo Chen thought for a while, took out five hundred spirit stones.

"Thank you Daoist friend for telling me this news, let's trade at your starting bid!"

The beautiful female cultivator didn't hesitate, and soon gave the five jade bottles to Luo Chen.

The transaction ended, and they should have parted ways.

However, the beautiful female cultivator asked curiously, "Does Daoist friend have a large amount of Blood-Burning Pills?"

"Huh?"

"It's like this, the three of us brothers and sisters have connections in Taishan Square, Snow Lotus Square, and even Flowing Light Square. If Daoist friend has a large amount of Blood-Burning Pills, we can cooperate."

Are you running a single-handed business?

Luo Chen thought of the beautiful female cultivator and her two companions before, who took out many special spiritual resources that did not belong to Dahe Square.

Before, he thought these people were robbers, and those miscellaneous things were obtained by killing and seizing treasures, but he didn't expect them to be existences similar to "peddlers".

It's just that those who do this kind of business either have broad connections and resources, or have strong strength, daring to travel north and south.

That is, lacking a leader in the Foundation Establishment stage, otherwise they could completely become a force like the Lianyun Merchant Alliance.

Facing the expectation of the beautiful female cultivator, Luo Chen shook his head firmly.

"No, just those few pills."

After speaking, he didn't hesitate and turned to leave.

Currently, he doesn't want to sell Blood-Burning Pills on a large scale.

The effect of this thing is too unique, if it is sold on a scale, it will sooner or later attract the attention of Foundation Establishment experts.

Don't you see that even Master Tianxingzi took one directly?

It's better to wait until he has a certain strength in the future before considering this matter!

Seeing him leave, the beautiful female cultivator's eyes showed regret.

"Hui Niang, does he not have a large amount of Blood-Burning Pills?"

"No, he said there are only those few."

"That's a pity. This kind of pill is placed in Snow Lotus Square, Flowing Light Square, and it can definitely be sold at a high price."

In the distance, Luo Chen's footsteps paused slightly, then returned to normal, and left the Precious Dragon Hall alone.

Coming to the outside of the big door, a black-clothed cultivator found Luo Chen.

"Daoist friend, this is your Precious Dragon Embroidered Ball, you can use it to enter and leave the black market array freely in the future."

"Our Precious Dragon Black Market is held once a month, and the specific holding time will be displayed on the embroidered ball later."

Luo Chen looked at the Precious Dragon Embroidered Ball that belonged to him in his hand, quite surprised.

"What if I am not in Dahe Square?"

"It will also be displayed, but the time displayed will be the opening time of the Precious Dragon Black Market in other square markets."

Hearing this answer, Luo Chen was even more surprised.

What does it mean?

Chain black shop, oh no, chain black market?

"Does your market have branches in every square market?"

The black-clothed cultivator shook his head: "Some places have them, some places don't for the time being."

Although the language was plain, Luo Chen was still surprised in his heart.

Originally thought the Precious Dragon Black Market was just a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator, doing it himself.

Didn't expect that there is quite a lot of strength behind it!

I don't know where this strength comes from?

Before he left, the black-clothed cultivator's ears moved, and then he stopped Luo Chen.

"Hmm?" Luo Chen's expression was unkind.

The black-clothed cultivator smiled slightly, "Given that Daoist friend is visiting the Precious Dragon Black Market for the first time, before leaving, I will give you some advice."

"Oh, then I will listen carefully."

Rumble!

In the pitch-black night sky, a huge thunder sounded.

Strips of ferocious and dazzling lightning tore through the night.

The strong wind whistled, and the leaves drifted.

Summer is here, and thunderstorms have become frequent.

Before long, a heavy rain will fall, right!

Luo Chen stood under the eaves of a deep alley, looking up at the sky, figures whistling away.

"Mass Grave, Seven Star Slope, Beijie Third Alley... and the main road back to the inner city."

"This is the few roads that the Wang-surnamed cultivator told me are most likely to be robbed."

The black market is not safe, this is something everyone knows.

This "not safe" refers to many things.

Auction items have no quality guarantee, no after-sales, may encounter subsequent trouble, and changes that may occur at the black market auction.

And the most common one, the robbery after the black market auction ends.

After all, even after the formal auctions held by major sects end, there are many robberies, let alone the black market which is not safe in the first place.

Luo Chen had already made preparations before coming.

Disguise, pseudonym, changing aura, and even ready to fight with people at any time.

But didn't expect that when leaving, the Wang-surnamed black-clothed cultivator specially "advised" him a few words.

Even, according to experience, specially proposed which few roads are the most dangerous after leaving the black market.

This is clearly trying to befriend him.

Perhaps because of those few "Blood-Burning Pills"?

"However, his advice, well... it is very worth pondering."

Luo Chen rubbed his chin and thought carefully.

"Where did he get the experience?"

"Is it summarized from the repeated conflicts that broke out after participants left because he held the black market for a long time? Or is it because he often engages in black-eating-black, and those few roads are his favorites?"

"Or, go the opposite way, let me deliberately not walk those few roads, and then he waits for the rabbit?"

It has to be said that Luo Chen thinks too much and too complexly.

But when going out, there are no bodyguards to explore the way and guard the rear for him, guarding left and right.

No amount of caution is too much.

After thinking about it, Luo Chen restrained his own aura and quietly went along the direction of Beijie.

The main road back to the inner city is not safe, this is something Luo Chen had already determined.

Over there in Beijie, there used to be a large number of vacant houses, and occasionally loose cultivators would borrow them.

Originally, the Yuding Sword Pavilion would also regularly check, and if they found permanent residents, they would collect rent.

However, recently, the cultivators of the Yuding Sword Pavilion haven't been managing the outer city much.

Luo Chen originally planned to find a house and stay until dawn before quietly returning to the city.

But now that he has received "advice", everything must be careful.

"Hey, there really are robbers!"

In the shadows, Luo Chen stopped and looked at the group of buildings in front.

Calling it a group of buildings is flattering, it's just a shanty town gathered by scattered wooden houses.

At this moment, that shanty town covering several miles is erupting with a sudden battle.

No, for the other party, it is definitely not sudden.

"President Sima Three Cultivators, hand over the spirit stones on you!"

President Sima Three Cultivators is not the name of one person, but three cultivators.

The leading female cultivator spat.

"Pfft, think beautifully, these are all earned by our hard work. Qiu Bai, don't treat Dahe Square as your Flowing Light Square, this place is managed by Yuding Sword Cultivators."

"Haha, President Sima Hui Niang, your news is too backward! Yuding Sword Cultivators are too lazy to manage the outer city security now."

Above the shanty town, the rough-faced man laughed wildly.

Shaking his hand, a big flag grew with the wind.

"Forget it, since you are stubborn, then stay here!"

Seeing that flag, the beautiful female cultivator was stunned for a moment, then her face changed greatly.

"Top-grade magic tool, it's that Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag."

"Run!"

After speaking, the three of them wanted to escape.

However, with a loud laugh, a large amount of white mist filled the surroundings, blocking their way forward and backward.

"No, he had already set up a trap array, this is prepared."

"Knowing too late, what do you think I left the black market so early for?"

Qiu Bai sneered, and his spiritual power surged by thirty percent.

The next moment, three huge green dragons flew out, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

Just circling in the sky, they pounced on the three people below.

Those three were not people to be slaughtered, and they sacrificed magic tools to fight against them.

It has to be said that this kind of cultivator who dares to travel north and south to run a single-handed business and earn spirit stones by the price difference between the two places is still very capable.

Facing the attack of the top-grade magic tool, they were actually not at a disadvantage in a hurry.

It's just that after fighting for a while, the female cultivator named President Sima Hui Niang's face changed greatly.

"No, this magic tool carries green musk fragrance, which will block our spiritual power and greatly reduce our combat power."

"Big brother, third brother, hold your breath!"

President Sima Hui Niang shouted, and threw out several talismans, constantly bombing the nearby white mist.

What she said was exactly one of the functions of the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag that Master Tianxingzi took the initiative to admit at the black market.

In the sky, the Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator named Qiu Bai sneered:

"Too late, do you think it's useful to cover your mouth and nose?"

"Tian Xingzi would never fully explain the marvelous uses of a magic tool; otherwise, wouldn't the cultivator who wins the auction for it expose their own methods?"

Sure enough, even if President Sima Hui Niang and the others tried their best to hold their breath.

However, the operation of spiritual power in their bodies was still getting slower and slower, just relatively better.

That musk-like fragrance was continuously seeping into their meridians along the acupoints on their body surfaces.

"Second sister, what should we do if we can't escape!"

"Hui Niang, if this continues, we will die sooner or later. I will break the rear, you guys run!"

The eldest one roared, pointed several times on his body, and a trace of unnatural flush appeared on his face.

Then, he swallowed a pill.

In the blink of an eye, the momentum soared by thirty percent.

In the corner, Luo Chen blinked.

The eldest of these three siblings had consumed none other than the Blood-Burning Pill he had auctioned off.

The reason the impression was so profound was that this person had chosen an excellent moment to bid eighty spirit stones for a Blood-Burning Pill.

This is the lowest price among the six Blood-Burning Pills.

Luo Chen also wondered how someone could have such rich auction experience.

Good!

Just right to see on the spot what the effect is after the Qi Refining late-stage cultivator eats the Blood-Burning Pill.

As the effect of the Blood-Burning Pill took effect, the person's momentum soared instantly, almost approaching the Qi Refining Great Perfection like Qiu Bai.

The ring magic tool in his hand surged with spiritual light, instantly dividing into three huge rings.

Every circular ring was cast toward the continuously charging wood-attribute flood dragon.

Judging by this stance, he was actually intending to trap all three wood-attribute flood dragons within his combat circle.

Then leave himself alone to break the rear, creating a chance for the two younger brothers and sisters to escape!

It's a pity.

He and Qiu Bai were already quite different in realm, and he only used a high-grade magic tool, so how could he be the opponent of a top-grade magic tool used by a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator.

Only circling two dragons, he was already powerless.

Not to mention the third one, even two made him vomit blood, and his magic robe constantly disintegrated, revealing strips of bleeding wounds.

"Spiritual power backlash?"

"Pill characteristics?"

"The Blood-Burning Pill is a demonic pill refined with Explosive Ape Demon Blood as the main material, which puts a great burden on the physique, this should also be one of the pill effects, but it is negative."

Luo Chen squatted in the corner, quickly recording the trial pill performance of the Blood-Burning Pill.

He recorded it as the third trial pill record.

The first was demon beast trial pill, the second was Wang Yuan finding Qi Refining middle-stage cultivators to test.

Now, it is the best test specimen, Qi Refining late-stage!

Facing the explosion of the eldest of the three siblings, the face of Qiu Bai in the sky became a bit gloomy.

If there is no accident, this kind of pill is what a loose cultivator took out after he left the auction.

It's a pity that he wasn't there at the time, otherwise he would have to buy one for backup.

While Luo Chen was recording, the battle in the field was fast approaching the white-hot stage.

The eldest of the President Sima Three Cultivators blocked two wood dragons alone, and the second sister President Sima Hui Niang independently supported one wood-type dragon.

And the third brother was frantically attacking the array, trying to find a way out.

Suddenly, a desperate voice shouted.

"Big brother, second sister, no, this array is controlled by someone else!"

As soon as the words fell, the eldest spat out a large mouthful of blood.

The ring magic tool was directly broken free by the wood dragon.

With a click, it shattered into several sections.

He himself was even more shocked by the huge impact and flew backward.

"Little brother, assist me!"

President Sima Hui Niang shouted, and threw out a talisman.

A light shield instantly spread out.

Perhaps knowing the effect of this talisman, the little brother immediately gathered around, constantly releasing spiritual power to support the light shield together.

The eldest also flew over from behind to help.

In the blink of an eye, three dragons were formed, constantly gnawing and colliding with the light shield.

The scene was once precarious.

And in the corner, Luo Chen was shocked.

Just because of that sentence from the third brother — this array is controlled by someone else!

"There is someone else!"

"This Qiu Bai has a helper?"

Almost as soon as this thought popped into his mind, another direction suddenly erupted with a huge explosion.

But it was only one sound.

The next moment, an angry voice sounded.

"Damn it, a Qi Refining fifth-layer also dares to come and be a yellow sparrow."

In the white mist, a figure appeared, carrying a broken corpse in his hand.

He glanced at the precarious President Sima Three Cultivators, then jumped to Qiu Bai's side, shoulder to shoulder.

His gaze fell enviously on the big flag in Qiu Bai's hand.

"Top-grade magic tool, it is truly infinitely powerful!"

Qiu Bai laughed wildly, "That's it! This cost me nearly seven thousand spirit stones... no!"

The person next to him changed his face, his hand just raised, and he heard Qiu Bai say.

"That old thing Master Tianxingzi lied to me, he only said that Qi Refining ninth-layer can use the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag twice, but I am already Qi Refining Great Perfection, my spiritual power is so abundant, actually still can only use it twice."

Hearing this voice, the companion couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually, he didn't lie to you, Qi Refining Great Perfection is still Qi Refining ninth-layer!"

"Can't drag it out anymore, delay will lead to changes! Liu Han, you help me watch later."

After speaking, Qiu Bai shouted low.

Immediately, majestic and pure spiritual power surged out like a big river.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

Three more dragons flew out.

In the desperate eyes of the President Sima Three Cultivators, a total of six wood-type dragons collided with the light shield wrapping them at the same time.

Even if they stimulated a second-order defense talisman, it couldn't withstand the blow of a top-grade magic tool in its prime.

Boom!!!

A huge sound was emitted.

The shock wave of the explosion directly shocked the three of them hundreds of meters away.

While in the air, blood was already splashing regardless of life.

By the time they landed, they were like broken cloth bags, and there was no reaction for a long time.

"Brother Qiu killed three people of the same rank with his own strength, it is truly domineering!"

Liu Han patted Qiu Bai on the shoulder, sighing with admiration.

Qiu Bai gasped, grinned.

Suddenly his pupils widened.

"Scoundrel!"

"Hehe."

Liu Han laughed lightly, then withdrew.

"Brother Qiu, why be so angry? This is merely a small, exotic magic tool I won at the Zhenlong Black Market; I invite you to appraise it."

And in place, on Qiu Bai's shoulder, there was a mouth that looked like a human's, biting tightly on Qiu Bai's shoulder, a pitch-black and deep light, spreading like a halo.

Qiu Bai glared, his expression terrified.

Standing in place, motionless, as if frozen.

The next moment, his body was completely covered by the halo.

Then!

Pfft!

Smoke and clouds vanished, bones and corpses gone.

A generation of Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators fell here.

Only a storage bag and a big flag fell lightly to the ground.

Liu Han couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Qiu Bai would fight back before dying.

After all, he is a Qi Refining Great Perfection, who knows if the previous statement that the top-grade magic tool can only be used twice was to lie to him.

However, after this one-time strange magic tool succeeded, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Getting all the inheritance of this high-level expert Qiu Bai and the inheritance of the President Sima Three Cultivators on the ground, plus his various preparations, even if he went to the Core Formation ruins alone, he had enough grasp.

While laughing lightly, he cast two spiritual powers, rolling towards the storage bag and the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag.

However, the next moment, he was shocked and angry, and blurted out subconsciously.

"Scoundrel!"

A figure, like a roc, rose with the wind, and with the help of the stormy weather, suddenly exploded with extreme speed.

The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of the Green Musk Gathering Dragon Flag.

The surging spiritual power turned into a big hand, pushing away Liu Han's strand of spiritual power.

Then grabbing the big flag, he fled away.

Not only that, before leaving, the figure also launched two attacks.

One hit the storage bag in mid-air, and one hit a big millstone in the white mist.

Liu Han was furious, the angry fire almost ignited himself.

Storage bags, they are never known for being sturdy and stable.

Especially the storage bags of low-level cultivators, which are often damaged in battle.

The things inside mostly disappear, with only a small amount preserved in the world.

This bastard, not only robbed the top-grade magic tool and fled, but also wanted to kill them all.

He didn't dare to hesitate, fully blocking that pitch-black attack.

Bang!

Like a breeze brushing the face, it didn't even have the power of a low-grade magic tool.

Liu Han grabbed the storage bag with one hand and reached into the void with the other, only grabbing a handful of jade powder, still carrying a trace of burnt medicine smell.

"Don't let me know who you are, otherwise I will definitely skin you and pull your bones!"

Liu Han took a deep breath, comforting himself that he had obtained Qiu Bai's storage bag, which contained all the inheritance of the Qi Refining Great Perfection expert.

And there were the inheritances of three Qi Refining ninth-layer cultivators on the ground.

President Sima Three Cultivators are merchants who travel between several square markets, and they sold most of their goods today, so their net worth must be quite high.

Quite high...

Liu Han stared blankly at the ground, where the three corpses were originally, now empty.

"Where are my three big storage bags?" ===== CHAPTER 130 =====

"Where are my three large storage bags?"
