Chapter 289 Xiling Dragon Slaying Land
Xiling Market is located between the foothills.
During the day, various practitioners set up stalls to buy and sell various common elixirs, magic weapons, magic tools, talismans, etc., but when the sun sets, lights here, and the things sold are different.
The daily market follows the rules, and the night market is full of strange things.
Today is no exception.
Ji Zhan stood in the night market, looking at the goods around him.
There are fewer products in the night market than in the sun market, and most of them are wrapped in a magic weapon "Breaking Thought Satin" that can cover up the mind. Only a small piece is exposed, and only when you get close can you see the true appearance clearly.
He went back and came to Xiling again for this night market.
The beautiful female cultivator next to him spoke, "Junior Brother Ji, is the 'tiger bone' that junior brother needs at the ghost cultivator stall in the southeast?"
This is a Qingcheng monk who traveled with Ji Zhan, and one of the members who participated in the Battle of Longhu Mountain Gate, a late-stage monk named Ji Jiuzhen.
"It needs to be seen."
Ji Zhan said, walking to the southeast ghost cultivator, looking at a bulge wrapped in black silk, the outside could tell that there seemed to be some kind of bone inside.
The word "tiger bone" is written in white paint on the black silk.
"My fellow Taoist, what is the origin of this tiger bone? How do you sell it?" Ji Zhan straightened the point.
The owner of the stall was a fierce-looking ghost cultivator. He lifted a piece of silk and exposed a piece of white bone inside.
There are strands of blood on the bone, which is full of evil spirits. Below is a pair of strong tiger palms with still hair.
Ji Zhan saw at a glance that this was the tiger claw of a handsome tiger demon.
His magic weapon "Songyun Huchi" has reached a bottleneck. To further sacrifice and refine and break through to the Xuan level, he needs the assistance of the tiger demon bone, but the tiger bone must be at least at the level of the demon general, and the demon king is better.
The ghost repair stall owner said: "One hundred and three treasure pills are not bargained. The whole one is sold."
Ji Zhan nodded: "I bought it."
He took out a porcelain jar from his carry-on bag and placed it on the stall: "Do a little."
The stall owner unscrewed the lid and shook it: "Yes. Look at the goods."
Ji Zhan then pulled away the silk and exposed the whole body of the tiger bone below. This was a whole tiger demon's right front claw bone, which looked quite intact, as if it had just been shaved.
Putting away the tiger bones, Ji Zhan looked at the stall owner: "Where did the things come from?"
The stall owner raised his finger: "Ten Three Treasures Pills."
Ji Zhan threw him a bottle.
Seeing that he was so happy, the stall owner didn't count it and put it in. He said, "Fellow Taoist is generous, and he must be a noble family. The news he wants is worth the price."
"I believe you also know that half a month ago, Yannian Temple was attacked by a giant, and Master Fuyuan died... Not only Fuyuan died at that time, but also many practitioners."
"This tiger bone comes from there."
The stall owner smiled mysteriously: "Or it is to say that many things in the night market in Xiling come from there. But they won't dare to say it as I do. The nobles should stay in Xiling and be safer. If they go out, the enemy will not be just Dayou and the Dragon Clan..."
"Thank you for giving me some advice."
Ji Zhan said politely and left.
Ji Jiuzhen next to him then whispered: "Junior brother, this time the secret realm has undergone a major change, and the external form is dangerous. Xiling is still quite stable at present... Isn't my junior brother Wu Qi's friend? He has a transcendent status in Xiling now, so why not go directly to him, as many things need to be more convenient."
Ji Jiuzhen is a cultivator in the late stage of Jiedan, while Ji Zhan is in the early stage of Jiedan, but Ji Zhan is a disciple of the "Sacred Lamp Layer". Before going there, Ji Jiuzhen was told by the sect to ensure that his junior brother Ji Zhan is safe, and everything is mainly safe. They don't need to say this, they know the most.
“No need.”
Ji Zhan refused very decisively.
Although my cultivation is not as good as him for the time being, I may not be able to catch up in the future. I regard my opportunities as my practice, and my chances are not bad.
Isn’t it equivalent to begging him to find Wu Qi at this time? When I see that guy in the future, I am afraid that I will be shorter out of thin air.
This is something that Ji Zhan can't stand.
Ji Jiuzhen could only sigh.
She also found that a group of people in front of her seemed to have some treasures on the stall.
Ji Jiuzhen sniffed it on her nose, and this unique fragrance was... ambergris!
"Junior brother, there are fresh dragon skeletons here." She lowered her voice.
Ji Zhan also discovered this and came to the edge of the crowd.
He could see at a glance that at the stall inside, Duan Niansan had been lifted, revealing a huge dragon head inside. The smooth black scales covered the dragon head, the dragon blood condensed into a scab, and there was a ball of dark gray wax block next to it.
That waxy piece is ambergris.
The so-called ambergris is a precious strange thing that the dragon tribe vomits out. Usually, after the adult dragon tribe swallows up a large number of monsters, the mixture of the remaining souls and yin spirits of the prey will stimulate the dragon tribe and make it very uncomfortable. The oil and mucus in the dragon tribe wrap it up and then vomit it out. It is also called "dragon relics".
Ambergris is used as alchemy and refining tools are rare and precious materials, which can be said to be hard to find.
What surprised Ji Zhan even more was that judging from the dead black dragon dragon and its aura, this dragon should be the demon king and had not died long ago.
Someone actually hunted the demon king black dragon in a noble way?
The vendor selling the leading stock was a dog demon. He repeatedly emphasized: "...This thing cost a lot of money to make several brothers risk their lives to salvage it from the giant."
"The dragon died at the hands of a giant. We just tied our heads around our waists and went to fight for wealth and honor, but we didn't dare to do it directly."
"This is something you get for your life. If you want to buy it, you can bid sincerely, bargain, etc., but there is no need to."
The fresh dragon skeleton attracted the competition among practitioners to start prices.
The dog demon was so happy that he directly traded with a buyer who gave two magic weapons, and did not keep raising the price.
Soon, Ji Zhan understood why it did this.
Because there are also dragon skeletons selling in other places, a stall owner not far from next door also set up a dragon head, which is slightly smaller.
Some stall owners sell dragon blood, some sell dragon meat, some sell dragon bones, dragon claws, and dragon tails... A demon king dragon was cut into several pieces and sold separately.
Ji Zhan asked for some information before he found out.
It turned out that Xing Tian, the giant leader of the Longbo Kingdom, was hunting the dragon clan around Xiling. These two dragons were also a master invited by the Night King. Taoist Master Wu Qi risked his life to salvage it from the sea and then sold it to them.
Ji Jiuzhen looked at Ji Zhan's face changing and sighed in her heart, "Junior brother, junior brother, you can't be too burdened."
You have to recognize the reality...
"Senior sister, let's visit Wu Qi to see if there is any chance." Ji Zhan took a deep breath and made up his mind: "The situation here is complicated, so we should indeed be more pragmatic."
Ji Jiuzhen's eyes lit up: "Junior brother, have you figured it out? That's great."
...
Seeing Ji Zhan visiting, Wu Qi felt a little strange.
The arrogant young master Ji Zhan would take the initiative to bow his head to him... It was really the sun coming out from the west.
Ji Zhan's face was calm and he said very politely: "I'm here to join you, I hope I can accept it."
Wu Qi laughed.
After all, I have never asked for someone. Even if I grit my teeth and make a decision, Ji Zhan still speaks hard... How can I ask for someone like this?
How about you accept me?
But that's it.
This is already a great progress for Ji Zhan.
He has indeed grown up and matured a lot.
"The relationship between us is a matter of one word." Wu Qi smiled slightly: "But the owner of Xiling is King Ye, and I am just a worker under his command. If it is fellow Taoist Ji and this person..."
"Ji Jiuzhen, Qingcheng Mountain." The female cultivator immediately introduced herself.
Wu Qi continued: "It would be best if Fellow Daoist Ji is willing to do something. After all, he is a monk from Qingcheng Mountain, a famous and upright school, and his reputation is very reliable."
Ji Zhan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Since you are joining you, of course you will follow your arrangements."
Wu Qi smiled and said, "Then I don't know what you want to do? There are two things to do. One is to farm and cultivate spiritual herbs; the other is to go to sea... hunt dragons."
Ji Zhan's eyes became sharp and his voice was firm: "Of course, it's a dragon hunting."
Ji Jiuzhen hesitated for a while.
Ji Zhan said, "Senior sister, please stay and cultivate spiritual grass. Wu Qi has rich experience in fighting and escape. With him, he should not make me die so easily. For him, I am also a reliable manpower. Death here will not be of any benefit to him."
Wu Qi was so embarrassed that he heard this.
This kid still speaks as badly as ever.
Although it is the truth.
