Chapter 90 Cloud Cliff Retreat, Jade Retention Mountain
It was late at night.
Wushen Lake.
On Qinglong Peak, halfway up the mountain, there is a seemingly ordinary pavilion.
Yun Youzi, dressed in a blue robe, and Chi Ya Laoguai, draped in a loose red robe, walked unhurriedly into the shop with the signboard "Yun Ya Xiao Ju".
Behind him followed Lin Li, a round-figured man with fluffy white hair. However, Lin Li wore a bamboo hat, which was protected by a remarkable spiritual power.
Huo Yunxi, still dressed in black, stood to the side.
They entered the shop.
The shop door behind them suddenly closed, plunging the shop into darkness.
Immediately, a burst of spiritual light emanated from Yun Youzi and the Old Monster Chiya, illuminating the entire shop.
The store is simply furnished.
Several landscape paintings and pictures of wild beasts hung on the wall, but there seemed to be no living person in sight.
"Fellow Daoist Yunya."
"How have you been?"
At this moment, Yun Youzi's gaze fell to one side, onto the painting of the Hydra, and he said with a smile in his eyes.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, a stream of light flew out from the painting of the hydra and landed in front of Yun Youzi and the others.
This person was an old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a black robe and long hair. He was neither fat nor thin, and had a slight smile on his face. He cupped his hands to Yun Youzi and Chiya Laoguai in front of him and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoists. You two have arrived early."
"There is only one fellow Daoist ahead of us right now. As usual, if you gain anything after the event, we will only charge you one high-grade spirit stone."
After Yunya finished speaking, a silver-gray vortex appeared on the hydra scroll and gradually formed an oval portal from which powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated.
"Does your company sell any dragon-themed spirit items?"
"Or it could be a Yin-attribute Spirit Candle Grass, preferably over five hundred years old."
"Old Monster Red Fang asked."
"A dragon-like spirit creature..."
"Fellow Daoist Chiya has come to the right person."
"Yesterday, I collected quite a few dragon scales and a dragon skin from other fellow Daoists."
"As for the Spirit Candle Grass, it is extremely rare. It can probably only be harvested at nodes connecting to the Netherworld, but our Southern Yue Kingdom does not have a single node in the Netherworld."
"Even the old Taoist priest doesn't have it."
"However, if Fellow Daoist Chiya is interested in long-term acquisition, this old Daoist can keep an eye out for it from other Daoists."
Yunya pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Then I'll leave it to Fellow Daoist Yunya. As long as you have Spirit Candle Grass that is over 500 years old, we will definitely satisfy them in terms of spirit stones and spiritual items."
Red Fang Old Monster cupped his hands in greeting.
"It's my duty; I'm just a peddler doing this kind of business."
"Fellow Daoist Chiya, this is not the place to talk. Let's go into Jade Retention Mountain first."
Then, Yun Ya led Yun Youzi and the Red Fang Old Monster and their group toward the oval-shaped gate, while Lin Li and Huo Yunxi followed slowly behind.
"Junior Brother Jin, this Senior Yunya is a famous Nascent Soul stage spiritual medium cultivator in our Southern Yue Kingdom, who calls himself the Peddler Hermit."
"This senior has basically met and traded with all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Southern Yue Kingdom."
Even Nascent Soul cultivators from the Eastern Sea Kingdom have connections with him.
"He's a senior cultivator who travels to various regions, mostly bartering. He'll stay briefly in places where Nascent Soul stage cultivators gather before moving on to other locations."
"This time, it must be because of the banquet for children held by Senior Ao in the Five Gods Lake that so many Nascent Soul cultivators have come here."
Huo Yunxi, who was standing to the side, explained to Lin Li through telepathy.
The wording was also quite respectful.
After all, Huo Yunxi's cultivation level was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while Lin Li's cultivation level was at the late stage of Qi Refining. Their communication was no different from shouting at the top of their lungs among Nascent Soul cultivators, with absolutely no privacy whatsoever.
One must be cautious and respectful in the choice of words used in various forms of communication.
As Lin Li stepped through the oval portal, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically in an instant. A crane's cry echoed in his ears, and he instantly appeared on a platform on a steep cliff. With the spiritual herbs as a backdrop, the ground looked as if it were covered with a green carpet.
On one side, there is a huge ancient pine tree that is almost as big as a mountain, and next to the cliff, there is a waterfall that flows down, surrounded by a sea of white mist.
A flock of cranes cried out in unison, circling around the cliffs and ancient pines, creating a scene reminiscent of a celestial realm.
On this cliff platform, there are several wooden tables woven from vines that grow naturally from the ground, and on each table floats an ancient bronze mirror.
In front of one of the wooden tables, there was a Nascent Soul Spirit Turtle with a dark blue shell on its back and a pair of long white eyebrows, who was deep in thought with its eyes closed.
When Yun Youzi and Chi Ya Laoguai entered the mountain, the first thing they saw was the old tortoise with its deep blue shell.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shuimu."
Yun Youzi and Chi Ya Laoguai bowed to each other.
Shui Mu, who was sitting calmly at the wooden table, opened his pair of green eyes and looked at Yun Youzi and Chi Ya Laoguai. He also raised his hand to return the greeting and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun Youzi, Fellow Daoist Chi Ya, it's been many years. Greetings."
Shui Mu, who seemed somewhat lazy, only glanced casually at Lin Li and Huo Yunxi before closing his eyes again and pondering the solution to that fourth-order grand formation.
then.
Yun Ya raised his hand and took out an ancient mirror. After casting a hand seal, a blue halo flowed from the mirror, illuminating their entire group.
Their figures were completely concealed, and even fellow cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage could not detect their conversation or movements in the slightest.
It is only effective against cultivators with strong spiritual sense at the late Nascent Soul stage or above.
"Fellow Daoists, please take a look at this item."
Yunya finished speaking.
He then took out twenty-three palm-sized, rhomboid dragon scales from his storage bag. The scales floated around him, each radiating a Nascent Soul-level pressure.
At the same time, a two-zhang-long (approximately 6.6 meters) azure dragon scale skin slowly unfolded above their heads, emanating a heavy dragon-python aura, which delighted the old monster with red teeth.
"Could these have all been left behind by Fellow Daoist Ao in his early years?"
At this moment, Yun Youzi saw the green dragon skin spread out above his head.
The Nascent Soul sensed the spiritual energy on the dragon's skin and found it to be exactly the same as that of the Azure Dragon Demon Ao Hai from the Five Gods Lake.
The aura emanating from those twenty-three scales was the same, so it can be basically concluded that they all originated from the same source.
"Fellow Daoist Yunyouzi has a keen eye. This item should have been left behind by Fellow Daoist Ao when he was in the early Nascent Soul stage. This skin is not easy to obtain."
"What will Fellow Daoist Chiya offer in exchange?"
Yunya looked at Old Monster Chiya and asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"How is this?"
"Only the scales are replaced."
After hesitating for a moment, Old Monster Red Fang took out a light blue spiritual lotus from his storage bag. After the lotus leaves unfolded, it was about the size of a millstone and floated in front of them.
Within the lotus platform, there is also a blue-scaled fish that has already solidified into a physical form.
The fish swam slowly on the lotus platform. After sensing the fluctuations in the aura of the old monster with red teeth and several other Nascent Soul stage cultivators outside, it seemed to be frightened and went straight into the lotus platform.
"A thousand-year-old fish-heart lotus, this thing is acceptable."
"With this Fish Heart Lotus, you can exchange it for ten dragon scales or a two-foot-long dragon skin."
After seeing the spiritual item that Old Monster Chiya had obtained, Yunya pondered for a moment before speaking.
