Palace of Heavenly Kings

Chapter 12 Trading
Chen Mo walked over, squatted beside the Taoist's booth, and fiddled with some objects on the booth.

"How much is this pair of jade lions?"

The Taoist glanced at Shen Mo lightly, as if he felt that Chen Mo was too young to be the buyer, and replied absent-mindedly, "One thousand."

"What about this painting?" Chen Mo asked again, pointing to a picture of a lady.

"Copy Tang Yin's masterpiece, one thousand."

"What about this stone?" Chen Mo pointed to the back of the booth, a corner that was not easy to be found, and there was a blue strange stone the size of a bowl.

Judging by the position of the stone, it seems that it is used to press the cloth and is not valued by the owner.

"I picked that one up on the mountain, the old Taoist. It felt special, so I brought it back. If you want, I can give it to you, but you have to tell me what is the use of that stone?" The old Taoist looked at Chen Mo, his eyes glowing clean.

Chen Mo was slightly surprised, he was already very careful, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the old man.

Chen Mo's target was the cyan strange stone. Although it looked like an ordinary stone on the surface, Chen Mo could feel the power of heaven and earth contained in it.

People in the world only look at the appearance of jade, such as the well-known white jade from Khotan, the energy of heaven and earth contained in it is actually pitifully small.Some of them don't even have the slightest energy of heaven and earth at all, and even if they are carved into exquisite ornaments, wearing them will not benefit the human body at all.

Office.

On the contrary, those jade stones that look ugly but contain the power of heaven and earth have the effect of prolonging life on people.

This cyan stone is a rare jade that contains the energy of heaven and earth, and the content of energy of heaven and earth is very considerable, much higher than Chen Mo's original expectation.

Of course, the more heaven and earth energy contained in the jade, the better the effect of the spirit gathering array arranged.

Chen Mo saw that the blue jade was placed in a corner where no one had any interest, and thought that the old man didn't pay much attention to it, so he wanted to be opportunistic and bought that piece of jade quietly.However, Chen Mo still underestimated this old man.

Chen Mo looked at the old man indifferently, and was slightly astonished in his heart. He couldn't see through the old man's mind?Moreover, there is no fluctuation of spiritual power in the old Taoist body, so he is definitely an ordinary person,

If it wasn't for the fact that this old man has no distracting thoughts, the city is extremely deep.

"Deal!" Chen Mo agreed decisively, but added another condition: "I can tell you the function of this stone, but you have to tell me where you found this stone!"

The old man looked at Chen Mo, pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, the old Taoist stood up, closed the booth, and handed the blue stone to Chen Mo: "This is not a place to talk, come with me!"

Chen Mo took the stone and weighed it in his hands. It was enough for him to set up a spirit gathering array, and there was still a lot left.When he breaks through to the second level of condensing energy, he can use the remaining jade to make some simple jade pendants for body protection.

Lao Dao took Chen Mo to a dilapidated residential building.

On the fifth floor, an old-fashioned home with three bedrooms.

Opening the door, the old man made a gesture of invitation: "Come in!"

Chen Mo nodded and looked around the old man's house.

"Sit anywhere!"

The old Taoist said something, put down the big cloth bag containing those antique calligraphy and paintings in his hand, then opened the cabinet, took a bag of tea, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

The layout of the old Taoist house is very strange. The walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings. Chen Mo doesn't know much about these, but with his eyes, he can see that two of them have an ancient atmosphere.

On the shelf at the kitchen door and on the shelf of the bookcase, there are all kinds of antique jade wares, which are dazzling, but Chen Mo didn't feel the slightest force of heaven and earth on those things.

"They are all old collections, are you interested?" The old man asked after making tea, looking at Chen Mo who was still standing in the living room.

Chen Mo shook his head, walked over, and sat opposite the old Taoist: "I'm only interested in stones, especially those natural stones that haven't been carved."

The old man smiled wryly: "That's difficult, just that strange cyan rock, I brought it back with extra care when I went to the mountain to collect herbs."

Chen Mo remained calm and asked, "Which mountain? Are there many rocks like this on the mountain?"

The old Taoist shook his head: "Not much, I just found this one. At that time, I found that the herb actually grew on this blue strange stone. I thought this stone was a bit special, so I brought it back."

This stone contains the energy of heaven and earth, it is not surprising that it can give birth to herbs, Chen Mo felt relieved, it seems that the old man found this bluestone purely by accident.

"You haven't told me yet, what is the function of this stone?" The old man took a sip of tea, stared at Chen Mo and asked.

Chen Mo must not tell the truth, the identity of the cultivator cannot be revealed for the time being.

"Actually, I am a stone gambler. I think this stone is in good condition, and it is likely to be a good material, so I want to take it to the quarry and give it a try!"

The old Taoist smiled: "Even if you don't want to say it, you don't need to use this excuse to fool me. Although I don't know how to bet on stones, this thing is so big that you can see through it at a glance. What kind of material can you get?"

Chen Mo frowned, this old man knows a lot.But he couldn't think of a better excuse for a while, so he could only pretend to insist: "What I said is true."

The old man suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Young man, if you are willing to tell me the true function of this stone, I can exchange a secret with you. I found this stone in that place."

Chen Mo was a little moved. As far as he knew, the place where this piece of jade could be bred must be a place with a lot of spiritual energy. If you practice in that kind of place, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

And maybe there are other treasures of heaven and earth bred in that place, and this old man will definitely not be able to find them with his naked eyes.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll tell you the truth. In fact, this stone is a piece of jade, which contains the power of heaven and earth. It is of little use to ordinary people, but it has magical effects on those who practice martial arts."

The old Taoist looked slightly shocked, stared at Chen Mo, and asked excitedly, "Could it be that you are a martial arts practitioner?"

Chen Mo was a little surprised, the old man even knew the martial artist, what is his identity?
Chen Mo looked at the old man again and confirmed that he was just an ordinary person: "Yes, I am a warrior."

After receiving Chen Mo's exact answer, the old Taoist was even more excited: "I traveled with my master in the early years, and I heard the stories of those martial arts practitioners told by the master. Okawa, until his deathbed, did not

There is a warrior found. "

"I thought there were no so-called warriors in this world at all, and everything was fabricated. I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime!"

"Master, the old man's spirit in the sky is enough to rest his eyes!" After speaking, the old Taoist actually knelt down, faced the east, and kowtowed down.

Looking at the old man's exaggerated expression, Chen Mo was not moved. If cultivators were so easy to find, then there would be warriors everywhere on the street.

Just like an immortal cultivator, to become a martial artist, one must have roots, aptitude, and perseverance, all of which are indispensable.

Even in the Li family, which is a super family, Chen Mo found two warriors, Li Yue and Li Ze.

"I have already told you the function of this piece of jade, and you can tell the secret now." Chen Mo looked at the old man, neither happy nor sad.

The old Taoist stood up, straightened his Taoist robe, looked at Chen Mo and suddenly became a little respectful: "Since you are a martial arts practitioner, it is very appropriate to tell you this secret."

The old Taoist's address to Chen Mo has been changed to 'You'.

"I found this stone in Lingwu Mountain, on the edge of the Black Water Pool. And there seemed to be many more stones like this around the Black Water Pool. But I didn't dare to go deeper, because there were local rumors that there were monsters in the Black Water Pool. .”

"Monsters?" Chen Mo frowned. He knew that the monsters in the ordinary population were actually monsters with enlightened intelligence.

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Chen Mo asked.

The old Taoist shook his head, a little ashamed: "No, but as soon as I got close to the edge of the black water pool, I felt a burst of cold inside, and I didn't dare to move forward."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, it seems that there should be something he wants in this black water pool.

Chen Mo stared at the old man suddenly, like a strong man looking at a little girl, the old man looked nervous.

"Do you want to become a warrior?" Chen Mo asked lightly.

The original calm eyes of the old Taoist suddenly widened, and he looked at the silence in disbelief: "I, can I? Didn't you say that if you want to practice martial arts, you need roots, qualifications, and age before 16 years old? "

Thinking of his age, the old man suddenly felt like a deflated ball. He is already fifty this year, how could he become a warrior?
Chen Mo took a sip of tea, lay on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, and a confident smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "I said you can, you can. Who stipulated that you can't become a warrior when you are old?"

Chen Mo's words carried an extremely powerful prestige, which made the old Taoist even have an illusion that the person sitting in front of him was not a boy under the age of 20 at all, but a martial arts master!
The old man understood that perhaps the biggest opportunity in his life had come.

Bowing down and arching his hands, the old man bowed to Chen Mo with a very solemn attitude: "Brother, please introduce me. If I can join the masters, I will definitely remember the great kindness of my brother forever!"

"Brother?" The corner of Chen Mo's mouth curled up slightly, it seems that the old man misunderstood.

Chen Mo stood up suddenly, and waved his hand: "There is no need to introduce, here, I represent the teacher!"

Chen Mo is a disciple of Xuan Dao Sect, and Xuan Dao Sect is a big sect of cultivating immortal planets. Xuan Dao Sect doesn't look down on a planet with poor aura like Earth Star, and now on Earth Star, the only member of Xuan Dao Sect is Chen Mo himself, so Chen Mo can naturally represent the teacher Door.

Of course, except for the junior sister who may also be reborn on the earth star.

The old man had a different situation in his heart. He thought that the sect Chen Mo belonged to must be very small, or even only one or two people. Otherwise, why would Chen Mo be able to represent the entire sect at such a young age?
Thinking of this, the old Taoist's originally excited mood suddenly became a little lost.I thought I could join a big school of martial arts, but I didn't expect to join a small school with three or two big cats and kittens. This kind of gap is hard for anyone to accept.

But fortunately, even if it is a small sect, it is better than nothing. You must know that the experienced master has never seen a warrior until his death. Compared with the master, the experienced master does not know how much luckier he is.

"Then, should I call you senior brother? Or..." The old man blushed a little. He really couldn't say the word "master" to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
