Volume Four: Taiqingmen 544 The Birth of a Spirit Insect
Seeing this, the young woman in red first checked the leather bag and confirmed that there were a total of 100 top-grade spirit stones inside. Then she picked up the jade box again, opened the lid and placed four green pills neatly inside.
"This is...the condensation pill, and it is all earth-quality elixir!" As a priest in red, the young woman in red was naturally a knowledgeable person. After a moment of identification, she recognized the origin of the elixir.
On top of these green elixirs, each of them has four obvious elixir patterns, exuding a refreshing fragrance, which is the real earth-quality condensing pill.
"Yes, it's this pill." Liu Ming said expressionlessly. He didn't have enough spirit stones on his body, so he had to get some condensation pills to pay for the price.
The young woman in red showed an excited expression on her face, and her expression suddenly changed slightly, as if she had recalled the rumors in the market recently.
"Why, aren't these pills enough? As far as we know, this ground-grade condensing pill is worth at least 500,000 spirit stones, and four can just compensate for the two million." Liu Ming raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"Fellow Taoist please don't get me wrong. I don't mean this. Of course, the value of these four pills is enough." The young woman in red woke up and said with a smile on her face.
"Okay, since that's the case, then we'll clear the money and take away the ten thousand years of essence and blood." Liu Ming said, then put the gourd container on the table into his sleeve robe, stood up at the same time, and walked out.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay. I wonder where these elixirs... Fellow Taoist came from?" When the young woman in red saw that Liu Ming was about to leave, she hurriedly chased after him and asked anxiously.
"Why, your auction house accepts collateral. You still need to find out the origin of the things?" Liu Ming turned his head slightly and said with a cold expression.
"No, I'm just asking casually." The young woman in red said with a smile on her face.
"This pill was bought from a store next, and there is nothing else to tell you." After Liu Ming threw down a sentence, he stopped looking at the young woman and walked out strode.
This attitude of not being merciful at all made the young woman in red angry. When Liu Ming's figure completely walked out, her mood gradually calmed down.
After standing there for a moment, the young woman in red suddenly put away the leather bag and jade box on the table, turned around and walked towards the other side of the hall.
Liu Ming left the side hall and stood in a passage leading to the auction venue. Seeing that no one was catching up with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled bitterly.
From the changes in the expression of the young woman in red, he knew that the Qianmeng Chamber of Commerce must also be investigating the matter of the cold elixir in the market.
Just selling four land-quality condensation pills like this must have aroused their suspicion. However, for the sake of the essence and blood of the ten thousand-year-old spiritual turtle, he could not take care of this much for a while.
Besides, with the strength of Qianhui Shang Alliance, I don’t know how many alchemy masters I have raised. Even though the Condensation Pill is a bit off, it will not make the other party really do something to destroy his reputation.
What's more, he changed his appearance and participated in this auction, so his concerns were naturally less.
While thinking, a sound of footsteps came, interrupting Liu Ming's thoughts.
"Senior. The transaction has been completed?" The person who came was the attendant in green just now. When he saw Liu Ming, he quickly bowed.
"Well, is the auction over?" Liu Ming asked with a smile.
"The final auction is now underway..." said the attendant in Qingyi, and a crisp sound came from the other side of the venue.
"Eight million spirit stones!" It was the voice of the girl in purple before.
Liu Ming nodded to the Qingyi attendant and walked out quickly.
On the venue, the purple-clad girl from the Ouyang family and the powerful man in the True Dan Realm named Qing Jushi were still in fierce bidding, and the price had been raised to more than 8 million.
Liu Ming had something in his mind, and seemed to have never heard of the hot atmosphere in the venue. He looked up at the entrance of the venue and glanced at the entrance of the venue.
But seeing that the auction door was closed tightly, it seemed that it would not open until it was over.
Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the auction, Liu Ming quietly paced to the entrance, found a seat and sat down as if nothing had happened, and quietly waited for the end of the conference.
After another quarter of an hour, the auction finally came to an end. The girl in the purple-clothed girl in Ouyang's family finally surpassed the Qing Jushi and the green-robed young man at a sky-high price of 9.3 million spirit stones, and finally captured the prototype Luo Yu Dao.
Baijing's middle-aged man immediately made another generous speech before announcing the end of the auction.
As soon as the gate of the venue opened with the rumbling sound, Liu Ming immediately stood up and mingled among the crowds and quickly left the auction hall.
Along the way, he wandered around in some alleys, and somehow he disguised himself as a big man with a horse face and left the market.
After Liu Ming confirmed that no one was following him, he found a place where no one was, transformed back into his original appearance, took a detour from the gate on the other side and quietly returned to Bailian Pavilion.
In the three-story secret room, Liu Ming sat cross-legged on a yellow cushion, looking at a translucent gourd-shaped container about an inch high in his hand.
There is a strange purple rune mark engraved on the gourd, and there is a small half of the golden liquid in it. It is the tens of drops of ten thousand-year-old spiritual turtle essence that he exchanged for five ground-quality elixirs at the auction.
After observing for a while, he took out a jade box from his chest, took out the consciousness-making insect egg, gently held it in his hand, then closed his eyes and slowly injected his magic power into the Huntian Monument in the sea of spiritual consciousness.
The next moment, a buzzing sound came from my ears, and when my eyes turned dark, I entered the mysterious space again.
"Senior Luohu." In front of Liu Ming, a young man in a green robe was standing in front of him with a calm expression.
"I didn't expect that you would get the essence and blood of the ten thousand-year-old spirit turtle so soon, and there were still as many as ten drops. It seems that hatching this consciousness insect egg should be no problem." Luohu said lightly.
"I hope my senior will tell you how to use the essence and blood of the ten thousand-year-old spirit turtle." Liu Ming bowed slightly and asked directly.
Luohu did not answer when he heard this, but raised his hand and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve and shot towards Liu Ming.
Liu Ming reached out to catch the jade slip and put it on his forehead without saying a word.
Xia Ling grass, blue water liquid, flowers and plants, and yin fruits...
The auxiliary materials recorded in the jade slip are the preparation of this Yuan-Purifying Liquid, but most of them are common materials in the market, so it is obviously not difficult to collect them.
"If there is nothing else, please come back." Luohu said, raising his hand slightly, and trying to drive Liu Ming out of the mysterious space.
"Senior, wait a moment, please expel the demonic energy on this consciousness insect. Senior, please do it again." Liu Ming said hurriedly, for fear of being driven away by Luohu the next moment.
Luohu opened his eyes and stood up.
"I forgot if you don't say it. It's been several months since the last time I absorbed the true demon energy. The true demon energy on the egg of the consciousness insect should have recovered. Come on." Luohu looked at Liu Ming and said expressionlessly.
Liu Ming stretched forward with one hand when he heard this. His five fingers opened, revealing the insect eggs in his palm.
Luohu just moved his fingers slightly, and the insect eggs flew up from Liu Ming's hand and slowly fell into his hand.
Then he used some secret technique as he did last time, bringing the demonic energy from the insect egg into his sleeve.
"Okay, you can leave." Luohu's index finger moved slightly. He gently flicked the insect egg. After flashing in the void, the insect egg quickly shot into Liu Ming's hand.
Before Liu Ming could say anything else, he felt a strong wind blowing. The next moment, the scenery in front of him blurred. He returned to the secret room.
"This Luohu's behavior is really elusive." After Liu Ming said to himself, he put the ban on the secret room and left the secret room.
At present, you only need to put together the auxiliary materials to mix it into this spiritual liquid that replenishes qi.
In just one day, Liu Ming collected some other auxiliary materials from several medicinal materials shops and returned to the secret room on the third floor of Bailian Pavilion.
After some preparation, Liu Ming immediately sat cross-legged and began to prepare the Yuan liquid according to the method described in the jade slip.
He first stirred and ground a dry auxiliary material and put it in a small bowl, then poured in a little blue water liquid as medicine, and made it into a bowl of blue-brown medicine liquid. Finally, he took out the purple gourd and slowly dripped the essence and blood of the Wannian Spirit Turtle into it.
There was a "sniff" sound.
A drop of golden essence and blood fell into the small bowl in front of me, and a ripples suddenly appeared in the originally calm blue-brown medicine liquid, and a faint golden light appeared.
As all ten drops of essence and blood were integrated into it, the blue-brown medicine liquid had turned golden brown, and the golden light became a little dazzling. At the same time, a stream of warm air rushed out from the surface of the spiritual liquid.
Liu Ming curiously touched a finger slightly, and a heat flow began to penetrate into his body from his fingertips, and quickly ran around between the meridians, making his limbs and bones feel comfortable.
Liu Ming was delighted and hurriedly activated the operation of the magic trick. After a moment, the warmth gradually dissipated and his body returned to peace.
At this time, his magic power seemed to increase a little, as if he had just taken a big tonic.
This Yuan Liquid is indeed extraordinary. Just a little touch, it will have such an effect.
Liu Ming was satisfied and immediately took out the worm egg without saying a word, put it carefully in a small bowl and soaked it.
As soon as the insect eggs were immersed in the golden brown liquid, streams of silky golden water vapor rushed into its body desperately. The insect eggs suddenly became alive and slowly bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After this phenomenon lasted for about half a cup of tea, the insect eggs finally stopped absorbing water and became somewhat bulging and floating quietly in the water.
Liu Ming did not leave the secret room, but sat upright on the side expectantly, quietly observing the subtle changes in the insect eggs in the small bowl.
A few days later, although the insect eggs no longer absorbed silky water vapor, under the warmth of the spiritual liquid, the color of the surface of the insect eggs gradually changed from light green to light golden.
A few more days passed.
With the faint and inauspicious sound of "Kala", it came.
A thin crack suddenly appeared on one side of the insect egg in the small bowl, followed by a light golden transparent insect the size of a knuckle of the thumb, struggling to slowly crawl out of the crack and swallowing the golden spiritual liquid in large mouths.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with joy, but he did not disturb the little insect and continued to observe.
