Chapter 174

Then he threw the jade box directly to the monk in brocade robes, and waited quietly in silence.

The monk in brocade robe took the jade box with a serious face, opened the lid, examined it carefully for a while, and then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Deal!" He stretched out his hand and sealed the Chi Jing Zhi back into the wooden box, then handed it to Yin Mo. At the same time, he quickly put Yin Mo's jade box into the storage bag.

Yin Mo nodded, put away the wooden box as well, and then calmly returned to his original position.

There was surprise in Lu Luo and the Fire Dragon Boy's eyes, but they did not ask Yin Mo any further questions. Instead, they sent a few words of congratulations.

Yin Mo responded calmly with a few words, without showing any abnormality.

However, he had already noticed that many Nascent Soul cultivators present were beginning to re-examine him.

Obviously, his accidental acquisition of this Red Jingzhi aroused the interest of many people.

Yin Mo didn't care. With his current magical powers, unless he met a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, even if a cultivator in the middle Nascent Soul stage wanted to deal with him, he would have a way to get rid of it easily.

"Okay. The Taoist friend just now has completed the transaction."

"Now, please ask this fellow Taoist to continue and proceed according to the order, how about that?" Zhenren Tianjing suggested with a smile to another female cultivator sitting near the brocade-robed cultivator.

"Of course. Now I will present the treasure."

The nun in light green clothes spoke gracefully and then stood up gently.

"Although I don't have the good fortune of the fellow Taoist just now to obtain such a rare treasure, I am proficient in the art of refining equipment and have refined a magical treasure called the Immortal Trapping Ring that has not yet recognized its master."

"As long as you perform the master recognition ceremony one last time, you can use it as your life magic weapon."

"Although this treasure is made of ordinary materials, such as gold essence, it is definitely very powerful."

"It is very effective for trapping enemies or protecting yourself. It is a magic weapon that can be used for both offense and defense." The female cultivator said leisurely while gently shaking her long sleeves.

Suddenly, a white ring several inches in size flew out from the female cultivator's sleeve, sometimes bigger, sometimes smaller, and kept flashing.

The female cultivator said nothing and pointed at the spirit ring with one finger. The spirit ring suddenly trembled and suddenly grew larger in the wind, becoming several feet in size.

The silver-white runes on the ring wall are clearly visible, emitting amazing spiritual energy.

The woman transformed the Immortal Binding Ring into a palm-sized size, held it in her palm, and said calmly:

"This ring has not yet recognized its master, so I don't have many magical powers."

"But everyone here is a wise person and will not be deceived."

"I plan to use this ring to exchange for a bottle of elixir suitable for Yuanying stage cultivators to promote their cultivation."

"If there is, let me see that bottle of medicine."

Although all the cultivators present here already possess their own magical weapons, it is not impossible for them to possess other magical weapons at the same time.

Moreover, magic weapons like this that have not yet recognized a master can also be purchased for disciples or apprentices to use.

The magic weapons personally forged by Nascent Soul cultivators are naturally much more powerful than those refined by ordinary Jindan cultivators.

Most cultivators are not good at refining weapons, even those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are no exception.

Therefore, as soon as this magic weapon appeared, it immediately attracted the interest of many people, and they came forward to exchange it.

The woman chose the pill from one of them and successfully completed the exchange.

It seems that this magical weapon, the Immortal Binding Ring, although not as valuable as the Red Jingzhi, is a very popular exchange item.

Next, a cultivator stood up spontaneously, before Master Tianjing could speak.

"What I took out this time was a box of Star Steel Sand. I want to use it..."

The exchange went very smoothly. One by one, the Nascent Soul cultivators took out rare and precious items, far beyond what Yin Mo had seen in the market before.

Each of these items is enough to make an ordinary Jindan cultivator spend all his money to obtain it.

At their level, it turns out that only monks of the same level can have suitable items to exchange.

Of course, not everyone can make the switch successfully.

Several people failed to get what they wanted because the items they offered were too unpopular or the items they wanted to exchange were too rare.

But these Yuanying monsters are all shrewd people. They will not make exchanges with huge value disparity just to gain an advantage.

The Fire Dragon Boy and Lu Luo both lined up before Yin Mo and took out their own exchange items.

The Fire Dragon Boy took out a three-colored exotic flower the size of a bowl. Although it was not as valuable as the Red Jingzhi at the beginning, it was also a very precious item.

However, no one had the "poison wood" material he wanted to exchange. The Fire Dragon Boy had no choice but to sit down again in disappointment.

Lu Luo's exchange was very successful. He used a bottle of spiritual herb juice that Yin Mo had never heard of to exchange for a small fiery red sword that had no owner. No one knew who it was prepared for.

After all, considering his age, it is unlikely for him to spend more time cultivating a magic weapon.

After Lu Luoyi completed the exchange, it was Yin Mo's turn.

Since he successfully seized the Red Jingzhi from the Brocade Robe Monk not long ago, he attracted a lot of people's attention.

Yin Mo stood up calmly, holding two pale white jade boxes in his hands.

"I have one level six water and fire demon pill, and two Thousand Spirit Grasses. I will only exchange them for one Geng Essence."

"If there is really no Geng Jing, but someone has information about the whereabouts of Geng Jing, it can also be exchanged for one of the items in the box."

After Yin Mo finished speaking, he shook his hands, a green light flashed, and the lids of the two jade boxes opened at the same time.

Two red and blue demon pills and two emerald green spiritual herbs appeared in the sight of the cultivators.

"Geng Jing?" As soon as Yin Mo finished saying this, the cultivators around him all showed strange expressions.

Although these demon pills and thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are precious, they are far inferior to Geng Essence.

If you want to exchange for Geng essence, you may only be able to get a tiny piece. What use can this little Geng essence have?
But if you were to exchange a sixth-level demon pill and thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for just the information of Geng Jing's whereabouts, it would seem too generous.

Everyone present knew that even if they knew the news, it would be extremely difficult to obtain Geng Jing personally.

This is because many precious natural treasures and relics of ancient monks are either found in remote and remote areas where few people go, or in extremely dangerous places.

Even a cultivator with profound magical powers cannot obtain it easily.

The most typical example is the Demon Valley, located in the central part of the Tiannan Continent.

It is said that it is the site of an ancient battlefield, where many ancient powerful beings once fought each other.

In the end, due to the amazing power of the supernatural power, it even tore the space apart, forming countless space cracks.

Therefore, the space of the entire valley became unstable.

In the end, none of the ancient monks who participated in the battle survived.

The disorder of space and the existence of ancient formations make this area full of deadly dangers, making the Demon Valley a dangerous forbidden area.

Over the years, countless self-important monks have entered the valley to explore in pursuit of the ancient treasures and skills there, but none of them came out alive. The treasures they carried with them also fell into the valley.

In the past ten thousand years, no one has risked their lives to search for treasure. Everyone understands that the Demon Valley has become the most dangerous place in southern Tiannan.

Therefore, even though many people know that there may be treasures hidden in the Demon Valley, they are unable to go there in person.

However, the whereabouts of Geng Jing seems to be unknown.

Therefore, although all the cultivators in the field were watching Yin Mo, no one sent a message to provide relevant information.

Yin Mo felt a little disappointed when he saw this.

He knew that these treasures alone would not easily give him what he needed.

He deliberately took out these items of lower value because he knew it would be impossible to get what he needed in one exchange.

But in front of so many Nascent Soul cultivators, he didn't even know the relevant information about Geng Jing, which made him a little discouraged.

He sighed secretly, glanced at the monks around him, frowned slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

However, he sat down without hesitation.

A cultivator below immediately took out a piece of black refining material and began to introduce it.

Yin Mo did not listen attentively to what the monk was saying, but closed his eyes and began to think.

Just now he noticed that although Master Tianjing's expression was calm, a hint of hesitation in his eyes did not escape his eyes.

This made him believe that even if Master Tianjing did not have the Geng Essence in his hands, he should have information about the Geng Essence.

Yin Mo did not rush to ask through voice transmission, but sat down pretending he knew nothing.

He believed that as long as there was a clue, he would be able to get the information he needed from Tianjing Zhenren. He just needed to wait for the most appropriate time.

After a while, the last monk also completed the exchange.

Master Tianjing walked back to the middle and said with a smile:

"My fellow Taoists, it seems that most people have exchanged for the items they wanted."

"It doesn't matter if you can't get it. There are still many Nascent Soul cultivators in Tiantian City, and there will be more opportunities in the future."

"No matter what others say, I, Tianjing, will hold a larger exchange meeting. I hope you can continue to participate."

"But before that, I also have a few things I want to exchange with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took out seven or eight things from his storage bag and placed them on the table. The scene suddenly became lively.

The other monks were surprised when they saw the items on the table.

After Yin Mo saw these things clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

There were seven or eight puppet monsters of different sizes placed on the table, including a white wolf, a green python, and even one that looked like a red bull.

Although these things look like dead objects, they exude amazing spiritual energy and are much stronger than the giant ape puppet in Yin Mo's storage bag.

It seems that their strength should have reached the initial stage of Jindan.

But what Yin Mo found strange was that these puppets were not the types he had seen in the Puppet Scripture. This made him suspicious.

Could this person also be a cultivator from the Qianzhu Sect?
But doesn't Qianzhu Sect have cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage? Could it be that he is practicing some other type of puppetry?

Yin Mo's heart moved, and he looked at these puppets again, hoping to find the differences among them.

But before he could figure it out, the fat man from the Hehuan Sect across the street had already spoken with a smile.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Tianjing, when did you start practicing puppetry? Are you going to give up your original 'Jingguang Gong'? If so, I, Old Ju, really admire you!"

"Haha, Brother Ju is joking."

"With my old bones, how can there be any room for improvement? These puppets were found by me and a few fellow Taoists in an ancient ruins not long ago."

"The economy is a bit tight right now, so I can only trade them for something else."

"Although their power is not too great for us, they are still useful in some special occasions." Master Tianjing replied with a smile.

"Oh, I am somewhat interested in these puppets. It would be nice to give something that can save my life to my disciple."

“But I don’t know what Master Tianjing intends to use in exchange?” said another cultivator who looked quite old, twirling his long beard with his hand.

"Haha, what I exchanged for is quite rare. It is something called 'Soul Stone' in ancient times."

"One soul stone can be exchanged for one of my puppet beasts."

"These puppets were all made by ancient monks themselves. I don't think you'll find puppets of the same high level in this world." Zhenren Tianjing said calmly.

"Soul Stone?" Upon hearing this extremely unfamiliar name, the monks sitting there all showed puzzled expressions.

They had never heard of this kind of thing before; it was so strange.

Zhenren Tianjing seemed to have anticipated this. He reached into the storage bag with one hand and found a thumb-sized emerald green crystal in his palm.

Looking at this crystal stone, it is somewhat similar to a spiritual stone with wood attributes.

But when the spiritual consciousness of those present swept over it, they found that the crystal stone did not emit the wood-attributed spiritual energy that the cultivators were familiar with, but an inexplicable fluctuation that was extremely cold and gloomy.

"Perhaps some of my fellow practitioners also have this thing, but they just haven't recognized it."

"I happen to have one here. You fellow Taoists can identify it first." The old Taoist said slowly, holding the crystal in his hand.

"Eh! It's a bit weird, a bit like the power of a ghost, but purer than the power of a ghost."

A demonic monk surrounded by black energy asked in surprise.

"I don't know what is contained in this crystal, but it is definitely not ordinary soul energy."

"Otherwise, how could I be willing to exchange these puppets for such a piece of stone?"

Master Tianjing answered bluntly.

"Well, that's true." The demonic monk tactfully did not ask any further questions.

But when Yin Mo took a clear look at the crystal, his face beneath the mask suddenly turned pale, and his eyes began to flicker.

If he was not mistaken, this "soul stone" was clearly the "Yinming Beast Crystal" he collected from the Yinming land.

Of course, the name "beast crystal" is just what the natives of the underworld call it. The real name among the ancient cultivators seems to be the so-called "soul stone".

"This Tianjing Master not only took out so many puppets, but also collected so many 'Soul Stones' at the same time."

"Considering that many puppets seen in Xutian Palace contained this soul stone, it seems that this person..." Yin Mo began to ponder thoughtfully.

However, this "Soul Stone" was apparently discovered by very few people. After a long while, only one monk took out a piece hesitantly and went forward to exchange it for a beast puppet. (End of this chapter)
