Mortal: Settled in Mo Mansion at the beginning

Chapter 55 The so-called secret technique

After a long chat, Hu Ming and Han Li looked like they were having a great time, but in fact they couldn't achieve anything.

Hu Ming asked Han Li his future plans in a decent manner. In his words, he asked Han Li to join the Miaoyin Sect and become an elder, but Han Li naturally declined.

Han Li made some insinuations about how Hu Ming planned to deal with Lei Zhu that day, and the response he got was that he was going to stay in the medicine garden to see the situation.

Hu Ming pretended to be pretentious, and Han Li made innuendoes, but neither achieved any results.

In the end, they talked about some cultivation matters, and then Hu Ming stood up and prepared to retreat.

Han Li stood up and saw him off.

After sending Hu Ming away, Han Li returned to the cave, his hands behind his back, but his expression became uncertain for a while.

Hu Ming acted like a normal person and continued to socialize with many fellow alchemy cultivators in Tianxing City while checking on one or two Ling Yulings.

But to plan for the inheritance of the Star Palace, he naturally did not dare to leave any obvious traces.

The two saints of the Star Palace are both old foxes. If they do something too obvious, they will definitely be found to be fishy, ​​and there will be no good results.

When investigating Ling Yuling's situation, he only silently chatted with some Danjie Taoist friends in Tianxing City, roughly distinguishing between one and two to see if there was anyone who met the requirements.

Time has passed so quietly for five years.

Han Li waited for another five years, squatting in this most prosperous place in the Chaos Star Sea for five years, but naturally he was unable to find materials that could match the Thunder Bamboo that day.

Even the exotic spiritual bamboos that were more suitable for him could not be found.

In the middle, a 5,000-year-old golden bamboo appeared, which was also quite suitable for refining flying swords.

As a result, this piece of spiritual bamboo was fetched a horrifying price of 60,000 spiritual stones at the auction, which scared him away.

In addition, he also tried to find a middleman to help him see if he could purchase the Thunder Bamboo seedlings from Hu Ming.

However, Hu Ming was not willing to take action easily.

At the same time, Hu Ming's circle of friends was really wide. Han Li had been searching in Star City for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone who had a bad relationship with Hu Ming.

In the end, I spent some effort to find a few alchemy monks who had just come from outside, and went over to inquire about the situation.

What left Han Li speechless was that the guys he had come to inquire about the situation turned around and chatted happily with Hu Ming, looking like they wanted to be their confidants.

There was even a guy who was not very particular and sold him directly.

Fortunately, he didn't really trust these guys of unknown origin, so he had disguised himself beforehand, so he wasn't exposed.

But there was no result.

In addition, Hu Ming was not on the Chaotic Star Sea side most of the time.

It took five years of dragging it around.

Han Li never found any chance to get the Sky Thunder Bamboo seedlings from Hu Ming.

At the same time, he is unwilling to use worse spiritual bamboos to refine his natal magic weapon.

The pill-forming monks have a lifespan of five hundred years. Li Huayuan was able to squat in a dangerous shoal for decades in order to give his spirit beasts a chance to form pills. From this, we can see how these pill-forming monks have a concept of time. In fact, by the time Six or seven years to collect materials for his own natal magic weapon is not a long time at all for a pill-forming monk.

But the problem is that there is no hope.

After several hesitations, I saw Hu Ming flourishing in this chaotic sea of ​​stars, still looking like he couldn't find any bad deeds.

And now that he has broken through the core formation, he is about to take his bent soul to the sea to hunt monsters again.

At that time, by the way, we can find an uninhabited island in the outer star sea and directly seclusion for dozens or hundreds of years.

Such thoughts in my heart.

"I wonder if Brother Hu can part with me from the Thunder Bamboo of that day?" Han Li finally asked, but he was already prepared. After finishing the order, he ran away with the Thunder Bamboo seedlings of that day.

"Well, it's not impossible, but you also know me, I'm afraid the price is something," Hu Ming seemed stunned for a moment, and then returned with some hesitation.

"It's okay. Brother Hu has always been fair. Thunder bamboo is worth a lot of money today. As long as Brother Hu is willing to give up, I will naturally understand the rules." Han Li immediately followed after hearing this.

Because he had already decided to run away, it was rare for this guy to show his generosity at this time.

It just so happened that he had ripened several elixirs that were thousands of years old in the past few years. For this reason, he was also confident that it was more than enough to trade the Thunder Bamboo that day.

To a certain extent, Han Li had made great determination this time for Lei Zhu that day.

Hu Ming seemed to think for a moment when he saw this guy looking like this.

"..., to be honest with Brother Han, I plan to cultivate the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo for several hundred more years, and then refine it into my Five Elements Yuan Mountain. This is related to my magic weapon Mu Yuanji Mountain and the thunder bamboo." Regarding the joint training at Yuanji Mountain, if the price is not much higher than expected, I will not be prepared to take action, so I hope you will not be too excited after hearing the price."

Hu Ming seemed a little silent there, then said, and then quoted an outrageous price.

Eight hundred thousand spirit stones, or equivalent magic materials and elixirs.

Han Li, who originally estimated that the price would only be worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, almost jumped up when he heard the price.

A thousand-year-old elixir in Tiannan is worth nearly three thousand spirit stones. There are more spirit stones on the Chaotic Star Sea side, but it will not exceed four thousand spirit stones.

Of course, that is the price of a thousand-year-old elixir such as Polygonatum and Polygonum multiflorum, which are of average quality.     The value of some heaven and earth elixirs is much higher.

But eight hundred thousand! Some finished magic weapons only cost tens of thousands!

"Brother Hu, are you kidding me?" Han Li said as if he had seen a ghost.

"Actually, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo in my hand is nearly three thousand years old. I originally purchased it from a small cultivating family for 130,000 spirit stones. Normally, it would cost 150,000 to 60,000. If I have a spiritual stone, I will get rid of it, but because it is of great use to me in refining magic weapons, generally speaking, I will not get rid of it at all,"

Hu Ming said with a somewhat embarrassed look.

As he spoke, Han Li glanced at Han Li strangely, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at it and said, "This is the price."

When Han Li saw Hu Ming looking at him like this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Brother Hu, to be honest, I have actually acquired a secret technique, and my practice requires the use of Heavenly Thunder Bamboo," Han Li said with a wry smile.

Then, he hesitated again,

"However, the secret technique I practice only requires some of the evil-fighting lightning of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. It will not damage the foundation of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. On the contrary, it can help accelerate its growth. If Brother Hu can trust me, I will I am willing to pay a sum of spiritual stones that will satisfy Brother Hu and rent Lei Zhu for a period of time." Han Li continued.

"..." Hu Ming looked at Han Li's almost flawless performance, with a thoughtful look on his face, and he was speechless in his heart.

"Brother Han and I have known each other for many years, so I naturally trust him. Although I had great use for Thunder Bamboo that day, the heat at the moment is not enough. For this reason, I planted it in my medicine garden. If I just rent it to absorb some evil-proof thunder light for use If the practice does not harm Tianleizhu, how about two hundred spiritual stones for one year?" Hu Ming seemed to think for a while, and then said.

"It's good that Brother Hu can trust Han. As for the price, Brother Hu's quotations have always been fair," Han Li responded immediately.

While he was saying this, he was still muttering in his heart that Hu Ming had just made a terrifying offer of 800,000 yuan.

In an ordinary three thousand years, one spiritual bamboo that could be used to refine magic weapons would probably only be seven to eight thousand, or at most ten thousand spiritual stones.

If it were some kind of spiritual bamboo from heaven and earth, it would probably be worth tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

As one of the three sacred trees, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo can usually hold up to a hundred thousand spirit stones, which can hold up to the sky.

After all, he is not a mature Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Of course, he didn't know that after that, he threw a mature ten-thousand-year golden thunder bamboo in the spiritual world and sold it at an auction for a terrifying price of 310 million.

In comparison, the 800,000 spirit stones proposed by Hu Ming, exchanged for a three-thousand-year-old living golden thunder bamboo, would simply make the demon kings in the spiritual world jump.

However, the spiritual world is the spiritual world and the mortal world is the mortal world, so there is no comparison.

At this time, Han Li muttered in his heart that Hu Ming's price was outrageous, but he also had some expectations.

He has the little green bottle in hand, and he only needs to rent the Thunder Bamboo for a period of time. By then, it will basically be equivalent to having a steady stream of Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Thinking of this, this guy naturally felt a burst of expectation and excitement in his heart.

Hu Ming was quite happy here. After agreeing, he made a special trip to bring Lei Zhu over for more than half a year.

Han Li was naturally happy to get the spiritual bamboo. He immediately paid Hu Ming 2,000 spiritual stones and set a ten-year lease. Then he took the golden thunder bamboo and closed the cave again, saying that he would practice his magical powers in seclusion. The secret technique is actually to secretly use a small green bottle to ripen the Golden Thunder Bamboo.

But soon, Han Li discovered a small problem, that is, Hu Ming had planted a spiritual mark on the spiritual bamboo.

This spiritual power mark seemed to have grown on the thunder bamboo that day. It didn't look like it was dead. Instead, it looked like it was alive. It looked a little weird.

He didn't notice at first that Hu Ming was using strange methods. He checked several times but didn't notice anything was wrong.

The green liquid was poured in later to ripen the Thunder Bamboo for a period of time, and this gray spiritual mark gradually appeared.

A blue-gray mana aura appeared on the spiritual bamboo.

And this magical aura was extremely familiar to Han Li. It belonged to Hu Ming.

Han Li, who originally thought about quickly ripening new Heavenly Thunder Bamboo seedlings and returning them to Hu Ming, was a little dumbfounded when he saw this spiritual mark.

However, looking at the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo that had been ripened by him for thousands of years and whose appearance was obviously a little different, Han Li finally had to bite the bullet and continue to ripen it.

Prepare to use your own secret method to remove the spiritual power mark when the time comes, and use it as an excuse to fool him.

But gradually, Han Li began to feel that something was not right.

The spiritual energy mark did not diminish with the age of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo. On the contrary, it became more integrated with the age of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.

Even later, when he ripened the Thunder Bamboo of that day to ten thousand years, allowing it to fully mature and turn into the Golden Thunder Bamboo, the evil-warming divine thunder it inspired also had a touch of gray, instead of the light color as rumored. gold!

What made Han Li feel even more chilled was that on this day, the Thunder Bamboo was ripened until it was completely mature, and a wisp of gray mana emerged from a new bamboo shoot growing out of its roots.

At this time, no matter how stupid Han Li was, he realized that the spiritual power mark left by Hu Ming was not an ordinary spiritual power mark.

In the Sacred Mountain Cave of Tianxing City, Han Li looked at the Golden Thunder Bamboo that exuded a faint gray magic aura in the medicine garden, as well as a young spiritual bamboo shoot next to it that also exuded a strange gray magical aura. It seems a little difficult to look at.

However, after hesitating for a while, he still did not take any more crude measures to solve the trouble in front of him.

It was also because Hu Ming learned the lesson from the previous one this time and strengthened the power of the concealing formation in advance, so that the news of his breakthrough this time was not leaked.

In addition, he took the initiative to restrain his magic aura and still looked like an ordinary mid-stage pill-forming monk. This made Han Li somewhat underestimate Hu Ming's methods.

There was some lack of caution during the pre-inspection, and the severity of the problem was underestimated at the time of the incident. Even now, I still don't really realize the seriousness of the problem.

If this guy knew that this was Hu Ming's plan after breaking through the Nascent Soul, he would probably burn the thing if he changed hands, and then choose to pay for it.

But at this moment, in his impression, Hu Ming was still an alchemy monk. For this reason, the natural choice was different.
