Chapter 157 Entering Blood Clothes
Chapter 159 Blood-soaked Robe
The next day at 9:00 PM, the sun was shining brightly.
Zhao Qing and his aunt had breakfast at home and then arrived outside the south gate of Changshengfang.
The city wall in front of me is more than three meters high. It is carved with ancient bluestone, and three large characters are engraved on it with spiritual power - Changshengfang.
This is the largest spiritual practice market in the State of Chu, under the protection of the Changsheng Sword Sect.
Compared to the mundane world, this is the capital of the Chu Kingdom's cultivation world...
The rules are very strict, and the management of shops on each street is directly controlled by the Changsheng Sword Sect.
Not only that, there are also many houses in Changshengfang that can be rented by independent cultivators, with different prices according to their location and the level of the spiritual array.
Zhou Xiaoyi held the man's arm tightly and whispered, "Are you worried about their safety in town?"
Zhao Qing was stunned, then smiled and shook his head.
"We've been through three years peacefully, what are you worried about? I'm afraid that even an ordinary person in the late stage of Qi Refining would be beaten up by Qinghuan if he came to our house."
My aunt's beautiful eyes flickered and she smiled.
However, he knew very well that Zhao Qing was still a little worried about Shuyue Qinghuan. After all, he didn't know how long it would take for him to return this time.
At this moment, she thought for a moment and said, "After you enter the Changsheng Sword Sect to take the test, I will go home to watch over them. It will only take seven days."
Zhao Qing smiled but said nothing.
……
To the south of Changshengfang, there are many commercial buildings standing quietly.
Among them is a vermilion lacquered pavilion. Although it is only three stories high, its momentum is quite extraordinary in the entire Nanfang.
Pills, talismans, magic weapons for formations, magical robes, magic secrets, and all kinds of rare treasures... everything is available.
If anything is missing, customers can pay a deposit... and Xueyilou will then arrange it.
Small but complete.
Different from those Dan Pavilions and Fu Shops, the Xueyi Building is like a department store.
Most cultivators only know that it is a commercial building with some strength and its resources are uniformly allocated by Yongning Prefecture.
However, it is not like a sect that recruits disciples, nor does it distribute resources based on qualifications and talents, so people don’t pay much attention to this commercial building.
What the independent cultivators want in the end is just a place to settle down.
Sects are the first choice, especially those large and prosperous sects that have been prosperous for a long time...
Those who have the ability to participate in the Lanqingji Secret Realm can participate in the division of resources in Chu every ten years. If the disciples make contributions in the Lanqingji, the sect will also reward them.
But obviously, the Blood Robe Tower cannot participate in the Lanqingji Secret Realm.
There are no spiritual veins at hand, and the area covered is only a few dozen feet... Even if there are branch buildings in every market, they are still far short of the sects.
However, Zhao Qing was well aware of the extraordinary nature of the Blood Robe Tower.
He clenched the cold blood jade in his hand, and past events emerged in his mind.
All the alchemy sects in the world belonged to Zizhu, that year...Zhongzhou Zizhu Holy Land.
The nine-story Dan Pagoda leads directly to the stars. It was within that Dan Pagoda that the seventh Purple Pearl walker personally appeared...
He said: "Zizhu is a sacred place, blood-stained clothing is forbidden!"
Even a Zizhu disciple like Cheng Yue, who was stationed in the State of Chu to establish his sect, chose a mountain full of vitality.
It is also because three hundred years ago, a senior named Xue Yi sealed Cheng Huang in it.
At this moment, Zhao Qing suppressed his distracting thoughts.
Holding Xiaoyi's slender hand tightly, he walked through the crowd and entered the Xueyi Building of Changshengfang.
What does the Blood-stained Robe Way represent?
The true identity of the Twelve Floors of Yujing... should be known soon - if nothing unexpected happens.
In his mind, the floating yellow Yinhua also rippled slightly, as if he was looking forward to what was going to happen next.
Vermilion lacquered pillars supported the high eaves, and a pretty nun stood at the door to greet and see off guests.
At this moment, she saw a familiar figure in front of her, and after a little recollection, she remembered the identity of the person.
"Guest Zhou."
My aunt nodded slightly and said softly, "This is guest Zhao Qing. We are here to participate in the auction in the building."
Hearing this, Shang Chan smiled.
Her eyes lightly swept over the blood jade in the man's hand, and she whispered, "Just follow me to the quiet room."
……
After a stick of incense.
In the elegant and quiet room, the fragrance of nanmu fills the air.
This is a compartment on the first floor of Xueyi Building. There is a neatly arranged table inside, and Zhao Qing and his aunt are sitting comfortably on the soft couch.
Quietly watching Miss Shangchan brewing the spiritual tea.
Zhao Qing was no longer a rookie errand boy, and he had some knowledge of the effects of various magical teas and incenses.
His eyes swept over the delicate curves of the female cultivator... and he could tell that she was at the fifth level of Qi Refining.
cough cough...
Feeling that his aunt's slender hands suddenly pinched his waist, Zhao Qing withdrew his gaze from her buttocks.
It’s no big deal to just take a look…Isn’t the purpose of wearing this tight dress to be seen by others?
Zhao Qing took the teacup handed to him by Shang Chan and placed it casually on the nanmu table in front of him.
He is very familiar with this process.
Shang Chan bowed slightly and said softly, "The auction in the building will begin at noon tomorrow. Do you two guests have any instructions?"
Zhou Xiaoyi nodded slightly: "I have some precious treasures and spiritual secrets to be auctioned."
As she spoke, she took out items from her storage ring.
The three porcelain bottles contained three foundation-building pills, which Zhao Qing had casually refined... However, the ingredients for the pills were very expensive, and it was not suitable for mass production at the moment.
Two jade slips of martial arts techniques, a high-quality alchemy furnace, and three high-quality spiritual swords.
There is also a protective jade bracelet that can withstand three attacks from the middle stage of foundation building, as well as other spiritual wines and strange stones.
These things were bought by my aunt in other commercial buildings. Now she is selling them at Xueyi Building and exchanging them for contributions.
Zhao Qing smiled bitterly in his heart.
The Blood Robe Tower is really tricky. They could have just asked the guest for 30,000 spirit stones directly, but they still had to go through this complicated process.
It's like taking off your pants to fart.
However, he also understood the intention. For a commercial building, such a process would be of great benefit.
It can be seen that Xueyi Tower cares a lot about spirit stones.
Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. What kind of cultivation path could someone have that could make them so greedy for money...
Shang Chan looked at the pile of rare treasures in front of her, and her expression changed slightly.
She whispered, "These need to be taken to the second floor for identification and the reserve price. The two of you are Blood Robe Guests..."
Zhou Xiaoyi waved her hand gently: "Miss Shang, please do as you please. We will just wait here."
……
After two incense sticks of time, the female cultivator returned to the quiet room carrying the storage bag.
She gently handed over a jade slip with one hand and placed it on the table.
"This is the reserve price. Do you think there's anything wrong with it?"
“If you are not satisfied, you can take the item back.”
Zhou Xiaoyi glanced at it briefly, handed the jade slip to Zhao Qing, and then shook her head and said, "I have no objection. Just follow the rules of the building."
Zhao Qing took the jade slip and took a quick look at it.
Three foundation-building pills, starting at 6,000 spirit stones. If the pills fail to sell, the price will be returned to 8,000 spirit stones... The Blood Robe Tower takes half of the profit.
Half a square of Qingling stone starts at three thousand spirit stones. If it fails to sell, the stone will be returned and the price will reach five thousand spirit stones... The Blood Clothes Tower will take a percentage of the commission.
……
My aunt has secretly calculated these prices, and it will be more than enough to sell 30,000 spirit stones tomorrow.
After a brief handover, Zhao Qing and the other person left the Blood Robe Building.
Everything just waits for tomorrow's contribution exchange and registration for the Blood Robe garrison assessment.
The afternoon sun shines brightly.
The aunt took Zhao Qing directly back to Shangchu Town outside Changshengfang.
After all, I haven't joined the Blood Robe Building yet, and there are too many people in the area to stay for long.
She took out the copper key and pushed open the door. Then she took down the rouge-colored quilt that was hung in the outer hall and said softly, "If you can become a Blood Robe disciple..."
"I will prepare for the foundation-building process. Three years later, I can also participate in the assessment based on the foundation I have built over a thousand days."
Zhao Qing walked into the bedroom and untied the tightly covered gauze curtains.
He answered casually, "Qing Huan and Shu Yue will also have a chance in the future... We still have more than 300 top-grade Dao Foundation Pills left."
My aunt bent down slightly and rearranged the bedding.
Zhao Qing was helping out... That was the downside of spending time alone with Xiaoyi.
Because of the top-grade water spiritual root, it always rains in the house and the bedding needs to be washed frequently.
"There is a peach forest in the center of Changshengfang. It produces spiritual fruits every year, and the price is very expensive."
"But there are peach blossoms in spring, and I haven't seen them yet. I wonder if I'll have the chance next year..."
Zhao Qing nodded slightly.
He glanced at the notebook on his aunt's bedside table and sighed inwardly.
I had promised Xiaoyi that I would take her to see the sea of clouds, the snowy river, the yellow sand and the sunset...
But three years passed, and the two of them only looked at the lotus flowers in the pond south of Lanxian Town.
But during those days, my aunt was in a good mood, my father called her sweetly, and the rain was heavy.
