Chapter 267: Three Underworld Artifacts and One Esophagus Artifact

Create a thick fog that can obscure the secrets of heaven...

Although I don't have such a secret treasure, I can do similar things and even do them well.

However, in terms of range, once he left the Xishan territory, even with the authority of [Water], the thick fog he created would not reach a range of ten miles.

Zhou Tieyi looked in the direction of Baili, but he did not speak immediately.

Although the Dongzhu is good, it is just a "plaything" to me. Even things of the level of national destiny can be obtained by me. There is no need to rush for a Dongzhu.

However, what Baili, the water god, showed made him very concerned.

A dragon vein that has not yet been mastered by Daxia, no matter how small it is, is still a dragon vein!
This is the real good stuff. If a family gets it and uses it carefully, they may not be able to be granted a title of nobility, but at least they will have the opportunity to support a third-grade practitioner.

And in Zhou Tieyi's hands, it is even more useful.

So we should not alert the enemy at this time.

It was normal for a transaction of this level to take half a year or even several years to complete. He would also need to spend time getting familiar with Baili and complete a few more transactions, at least to let Baili know that they were all "one of our own".

I, Zhou Tieyi, am also a god, and a mountain god with limited territory. This is the only way to gain the other party's trust.

And looking at Baili's appearance and his habits as a god, it is obvious that he does not think that this kind of transaction can be completed in a short period of time. He is just making corresponding preparations. When it comes to matters like taking dragon veins, everyone is waiting for Daxia to show signs of weakness before they will feel at ease.

After Baili spoke, Zhou Tieyi took the initiative to speak this time, indicating that he wanted to propose a deal.

Baili nodded with a smile. He still had some impression of the newcomer Zhou Tieyi. Since he took the initiative to speak this time, he should be able to bring out a lot of good things. After all, it was his second time to participate in the trade fair. After the first cautious trial, he would usually bring out good things to exchange the second and third time. On the contrary, if he participated more, his own needs would become a problem, and there would even be other small circle transactions.

Zhou Tieyi manifested two fruits, one red and one white.

"These are two kinds of strange fruits I found. I couldn't find the corresponding names after searching through ancient books, but I have figured out the effects of the fruits. The white fruit contains one or two dragon seals. After eating, you will have a high probability of gaining enlightenment. The red fruit contains a large amount of pure blood and energy without any impurities, comparable to that of a mid-level practitioner. The only drawback is that it may mutate into extra organs, such as scales, wings, claws, tailbones, etc. Of course, if you don't mind the change in appearance, these extra organs can actually be a weapon in battle."

Zhou Tieyi took out peach and plum fruits for trading.

Everyone knows the value of truly good things, and the divine weapon that Zhou Tieyi desires is hard currency, which may not be exchanged even for ordinary fifth-grade spiritual materials.

So after growing peach and plum fruits, Zhou Tieyi prepared to exchange them for other things. Anyway, he had never exposed the existence of Tao Du Weng, so he was not afraid of anyone associating it with himself.

Another advantage of peach and plum fruit is that it can be produced in large quantities, ensuring that you can exchange it for artifacts stably and long-term.

After hearing Zhou Tieyi's introduction, everyone's eyes immediately turned over.

There are indeed a lot of good things today. Although the two kinds of exotic fruits that Zhou Tieyi took out are not as good as Dongzhu, they are also rare treasures.

"Are you sure there are no other side effects?"

one trader asked cautiously.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "When we trade, Grand Illusionary Realm always acts as the middleman. Grand Illusionary Realm has never made a mistake over the years, right?"

When two parties trade, they pay Taixu Huan Currency. On the one hand, the money is transmitted through Taixu Huanjing. On the other hand, Taixu Huanjing also has the function of appraisal and will determine the accuracy of things based on the descriptions given by both parties.

And with the energy of the illusory world of ethereal space, a group of famous practitioners of "identifying things" are supported to accomplish this task.

Yueqin's eyes lit up. She had successfully completed a deal with Zhou Tieyi last time, so she already had some credibility in her dealings with Zhou Tieyi. This time, she asked without hesitation, "What do you want in exchange?"

"Artifact."

Zhou Tieyi answered affirmatively again, "For the white fruit containing the dragon seal, I want to exchange it for a complete lower-grade artifact. For the incomplete lower-grade artifact, the main body must be intact. Depending on the incompleteness and contamination, I can exchange it for at least three pieces. As for the red fruit, at least one incomplete lower-grade artifact can be exchanged."

Zhou Tieyi did not mention the mid-grade artifact.

Any divine weapon, even of lower quality, contains at least one complete dragon seal, which can give the gods the corresponding authority.

As for the mid-grade artifact, some qualitative changes have occurred, and the other party may not be willing to exchange for peach and plum fruits of this level.

Yueqin thought for a moment and realized that she had used some small tricks to take away the seriously polluting artifacts at home last month. This time, she just managed to collect enough to meet Zhou Tieyi's minimum needs.

However, she still couldn't help but bargain, "Your request is too high. The artifact itself contains the dragon seal..."

Zhou Tieyi looked at Yueqin, not letting up at all. "But items that can directly help with cultivation are always the most in short supply among items of the same level. It is not easy to reuse a broken artifact. I still haven't found a suitable way to use the broken artifact you traded with me last time."

After Zhou Tieyi said this, Yueqin felt a little embarrassed.

She did not doubt the truthfulness of Zhou Tieyi's words. After all, her family could not find a way to separate the Yellow Spring pollution. Even if there was a way, it would probably cost a huge price. It was really not worth it for a seventh-grade artifact, otherwise her family would not have thrown it into the warehouse.

What Zhou Tieyi said was correct. Items that could directly help in cultivation were far more valuable than the molten red copper traded last time.

The people around were offering a price, but Yueqin made a quick decision, "I want to exchange that white fruit for three incomplete seventh-grade artifacts."

Zhou Tieyi did not bargain any more, "Okay."

After Zhou Tieyi and Yueqin completed the transaction, the panda also made a decision. He didn't care much about the white fruit, but he cared a lot about Zhou Tieyi's red fruit that contained a large amount of pure energy and blood.

It’s a pity that I’m short of money!
"Brother Panda, can you make your red fruit cheaper?"

The panda asked tentatively.

Zhou Tieyi smiled but did not answer.

The panda sighed, "Do you just want the artifact?"

Zhou Tieyi directly asked for the magic weapon in both transactions. Although the magic weapon is hard currency, Zhou Tieyi's behavior was a little bit strange.

"Yes."

Zhou Tieyi said affirmatively.

"I have a divine weapon, but it's of the fifth rank. I need a private chat."

This time, Panda spoke to Zhou Tieyi in a private message. Zhou Tieyi nodded. He really had too many magic weapons and was not worried about them.

Every additional artifact is an expansion of his authority and does not bring any extra burden. Even if he does not need it, he now has three subordinate gods who can help him assemble the appropriate divine power and digest these useless artifacts.

Zhou Tieyi completed the transaction with Yueqin, but still did not dissipate the two fruits in his hand. He smiled and asked, "Who else wants to trade? I have a lot of these two kinds of fruits, and the conditions remain the same."

After Zhou Tieyi said this, everyone around him was truly moved.

Originally they thought that Zhou Tieyi was just lucky and got two strange fruits by chance.

Many strange fruits have the characteristic that they cannot be picked repeatedly.

After all, the Dragon Seal is a manifestation of the rich ancestral qi of heaven and earth in a place. Once you use it, the ancestral qi of heaven and earth will naturally become scarce.

Unless there are some special blessed places or extremely dangerous places, the ancestral qi of heaven and earth can be enriched for a long time.

What Zhou Tieyi said meant at least two things. He had control over a certain blessed land, and there was also a corresponding strange tree in this blessed land that could stably produce this exotic fruit.

If it were really in the outside world, everyone would want to kill people and steal treasures.

But in the illusory world of Taixu, no one can even touch each other.

"I need to get ready."

"Leave a message."

……

A large amount of private chat information was sent to Zhou Tieyi like wisps of mirage. After all, not everyone has a treasure house at home like Yueqin.

Even if it is a broken artifact, even if they know where it is, they still need to pay a price to exchange it. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, people do not have many resources to collect broken artifacts.

Zhou Tieyi also accepts all offers. After posting this kind of long-term sales information, he just waits for stable returns.

With the treasures brought out by Baili and Zhou Tieyi, today's trade fair was even more lively than the last one. Many good things appeared one by one, including several medium-grade dragon vein essence blood. If Zhou Tieyi had said that he would take it all before, but now that he has Taodu Weng, he doesn't value treasures like essence blood that much.

Others have no way to extract the essence of the warrior's spirit, but Tao Du Weng can do it after growing for a while! This is the news Zhou Tieyi got when he was chatting with Tao Du Weng.

After the transaction phase was over, the information exchange phase began as usual. In this phase, there were still many secret cultivation methods exchanged. Unfortunately, there was no Shinto secret method like the [Dragon-like Golden Body] that forced Zhou Tieyi to exchange it last time.

Shanyin spoke again, "I still ask for the same joint effort as before, to assassinate Zhou Tieyi from General Huwei's mansion."

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally heated scene suddenly became quiet.

Some even sneered, "You'd better not mention your stupid plan. You have a life to make money but no life to spend it."

Shanyin raised the stakes this time, "He will leave Yujing Mountain in the next one or two months. We will set up an ambush outside Yujing Mountain."

Leaving Yujing Mountain?
Zhou Tieyi rubbed his chin and said, "Why didn't I know this?"
After a little thought, he roughly guessed that Shanyin must have lured him out of the four cities of Yujing through some short outing.

After all, both Fuyao Mountain and Luo River are suitable for short trips of one or two days. If I really "pamper" Shanyin, it would be normal for her to find a time period within one or two months to propose an outing.

"Are you sure?"

This time, new people started asking questions.

Assassinating Zhou Tieyi in the four cities of Yujing Mountain and assassinating Zhou Tieyi outside Yujing Mountain are two different concepts.

Shanyin did not answer the previous question, "Those who are willing to participate can privately message me."

Although he did not see Shanyin's expression at the moment, Zhou Tieyi clearly heard a certain confidence in her words. It seemed that this time she wanted to make the people who were chatting privately here cannon fodder.

Where does she get her confidence from?

Either a big shot of the top three ranks contacted her, or she contacted a big shot of the top three ranks.

Even these big figures may not necessarily be Shintoists, they may also be people from various schools of thought. After all, political assassinations have been nothing new from ancient times to the present, and many big figures have died in beauty traps.

The rest were news from all over the world, so Zhou Tieyi just listened to them with a wait-and-see attitude.

After the big trade fair ended, Zhou Tieyi and the panda went out together privately.

"I need to exchange this artifact for three white fruits and ten red fruits."

The panda still opened his mouth wide. He materialized a pot-like artifact, but unfortunately the whole pot seemed to be burnt. Although it was intact, thick black smoke kept lingering on it. It was obviously not a good thing.

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "Brother Panda, please at least introduce your artifact first. Although I am a newcomer in the Grand Illusionary Realm, I am not a newcomer when it comes to artifacts."

Since he was originally planning to show up in the illusory world as a god, Zhou Tieyi simply directed his identity here.

The panda originally wanted Zhou Tieyi to bargain first, but looking at Zhou Tieyi's appearance, although he needed a large number of artifacts, he was not so anxious.

"Is the divine weapon a regular cultivation resource for him?"

The panda thought, you know, for the practitioners of the Hundred Schools, the best way to use the magic weapon is to forge it into a secret treasure. This kind of external object can indeed increase strength, but after all, it cannot be completely transformed into one's own strength and improve the level of practice, so one or two are enough.

Apart from merchants, the gods themselves are the largest number of practitioners who need divine artifacts, so Panda temporarily locked Zhou Tieyi's identity in these two directions.

"This is a divine weapon of a fifth-grade deity. As far as I know, he was active three hundred and sixty years ago and was a deity in the Shushan Prefecture. He was originally a practitioner of the Way of the Eater, but after his death he switched to the Way of the Gods and achieved considerable success. Unlike ordinary gods, he was a decent person during his existence, helping others practice the Way of the Eater, and even helping poor people from time to time..."

“But in the end He died.”

Zhou Tieyi interrupted.

The panda nodded, "Yes, he died after all. His greatest sin was practicing Shintoism, but when Daxia was established, Shintoism was not allowed to exist."

Zhou Tieyi took the opportunity to bargain and said, "After a person with merit dies, his merit will naturally turn into a curse. You and I both know how difficult this curse is. It is difficult to eliminate without great merit and great ambition. It is not something that can be refined by simple military forging. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unable to use this artifact until now, right?"

The panda looked a little ugly.

“And even if this artifact is transformed into a secret treasure, its attack capabilities are probably not very good. Moreover, if you want to use it, you will most likely need to find a esophagus practitioner. It can be considered an advanced alchemy furnace.”

The panda quickly defended himself, "But this artifact is in the hands of a stomatologist, it is definitely a priceless treasure!"

Zhou Tieyi laughed and said, "This brings us back to the first question. Are there any esophageal practitioners with great merit and great aspirations who can remove the curse on this artifact? You must have looked for esophageal practitioners a lot over the years. If you can't use them, no matter how powerful the alchemy furnace is, you can only look at it."

Zhou Tieyi pondered for a moment, "Five red fruits, let's make friends."

"Two white fruits and ten red fruits."

"Six."

……

After two rounds of bargaining, Zhou Tieyi finally held on to the eight red fruits and refused to give up any white fruits. He also figured out that the panda cared more about the flesh and blood fruit rather than the enlightenment fruit.

Zhou Tieyi refused to give in and looked like he was about to leave. The panda really couldn't hold it in any longer.

He was being hunted down recently because he had killed many people from local families before. He urgently needed a large number of treasures to restore his strength, and this blame had been on his hands for a long time.

Although artifacts are rare, this artifact that is obviously cursed cannot be used in any way.

The simplest way to eliminate the curse he asked about was to either take the pot to a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple to offer it for a hundred years, or to donate the pot to 100,000 disaster victims. Neither of these two methods could be used by him.

"Brother Panda..."

The panda gritted his teeth and said, "I'll make you my friend!"

Zhou Tieyi went to trade with Panda and Yueqin who were waiting there, smiling.

Half an hour later, in the space of the white jade chessboard, Zhou Tieyi looked at the four new artifacts that appeared in front of him.

The three artifacts given by Yueqin are still so unique.

A mourning stick, a night wandering card, and a ghost fork.

The three artifacts are all entangled with the power of the underworld.

Zhou Tieyi guessed that there must be an important person in Yueqin's family who found the remains of a certain god of the third rank or above, and that's why he obtained so many artifacts of the god of the underworld.

Zhou Tieyi grabbed each of the three divine weapons.

[The underworld messenger reporting funerals], [Night tours], [The underworld messenger torturing others].

With the three new powers in hand, Zhou Tieyi encountered the first difficulty since he started practicing Shinto.

That is, the core ability of these three powers [Walking in Yin and Yang] is repeated for oneself.

Moreover, since they are all [Walking Yin and Yang] of the same level, there will be no qualitative change even if his previous authority as [Soul-Binding Yin Messenger] is added.

The only slight difference is that the funeral messenger focuses more on leading the souls of ordinary people into the underworld, and his authority includes a considerable amount of ability to soothe souls.

The Torture Ghost is just the opposite. He specializes in dealing with evil spirits, so his divine power is more about killing souls.

The only thing that was unexpectedly useful to Zhou Tieyi was the [Night Wandering] priesthood.

The power of the Night Wandering God covers [walking in yin and yang], [hiding] and [punishing evil].

Among them, [punishment for evil] is extended in folk legends to mean that it will be unlucky to encounter a night-wandering god.

In fact, it is the manifestation of the night-wandering god, who uses his power to punish treacherous villains. After all, in ancient society, those who wander around at night are not good people.

Of course, the power of [Punishment of Evil] is not great, and it depends on how much resentment is entangled in you. However, when this divine power is combined with the [Decline] power of the Five Gods, a qualitative change immediately occurs.
