Chapter 299 – News of the Puppetry Technique
Chapter 299 – News of the puppet art
Once these words came out, the air seemed to be quiet for a moment.
However, the speaker Zhang Yu is a thick line, and did not realize what is wrong, and is still talking eloquently.
“Since Senior Sister Xu entered the third level of Foundation Establishment, she has ranked as high as one hundred and sixty on the Qing Yun Ranking, while Senior Sister Shangguan advanced to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment last year, but her ranking was only one hundred and sixty one, right after Senior Sister Xu’s ……”
Zhang Yu was still about to speak, but his mouth was wide open and he couldn’t make any sound.
It turned out to be Zhuge Yun who couldn’t bear it anymore and imposed a forbidden speech spell on him.
Zhang Yu could not speak, saw Zhuge senior brother’s face blackened down, only then did he remember with hindsight the rumors in the community that Zhuge senior brother was in love with Shangguan senior sister.
Huo Chunyan and Zhao Xing San, who had been winking at Zhang Yu, looked as if they had not heard anything.
Xu Chuniang, who was one of the parties involved, looked as usual.
The Qing Yun Ranking and whatnot might have some reference.
But even if the Heavenly Chance Pavilion can only divulge known things, it has its limitations, so there’s no need to care too much about the ranking of this list.
Obviously, Zhuge Yun had the same idea, and was very disdainful of the rankings on the Qing Yun List.
“The so-called Green Cloud Ranking List is nothing more than the Tian Ji Pavilion’s fanciful stuff. Senior Sister Shangguan has outstanding talent and is not inferior to anyone else.”
The anyone in his mouth naturally included Xu Chuniang.
After this episode, no one spoke again on the way back to Mixed Yuan City, and all the way back to Xiang Yun Inn peacefully.
“Although we have gotten rid of that evil cultivator’s trail, but everything is more careful, temporarily rest and recuperate in this Mixed Yuan City. After three days, we will go to Wind Weeping Mountain and look for the traces of the Element Devouring Beast. You and others can move freely during these three days.”
After Zhuge Yun finished speaking, he walked towards his room, leaving the four of them to stare at each other in place.
Zhang Yu finally found his voice, “Senior Brother Zhuge this is …… angry?”
Zhao Xing San sighed lightly and patted his shoulder.
“Senior Brother Zhuge is a ranking figure in Xuan Jian Feng, who doesn’t know that he only sees Senior Sister Shangguan alone in his eyes, and can’t allow others to say half bad things about Senior Sister Shangguan.”
“Four years ago, Chuniang ranked higher than Senior Sister Shangguan on the Qing Yun Ranking, and Senior Brother Zhuge was disgruntled because of that, and even looked for trouble with Chuniang.”
Huo Chunyan glanced at Zhang Yu sympathetically, “But then I heard that because of this, Senior Sister Shangguan severely reprimanded Senior Brother Zhuge, and since then, Senior Brother Zhuge has been much more restrained.”
Originally, she had thought that these were nothing more than false rumors, but on this journey, Senior Brother Zhuge had not troubled Chuniang, so perhaps it was true.
“So it is.”
Zhang Yu did not have much chagrin in his eyes, Senior Sister Shangguan was certainly strong, but Senior Sister Xu was equally not weak.
The image of Senior Sister Xu piercing through the two heads of the Two-Headed Demon Wolf with a single shot was still before his eyes.
Zhuge is just acting on his own preferences.
“By the way, do you want to go out together tomorrow and stroll around this Mixed Yuan City?”
Huo Chunyan blinks and quietly transmits towards the several people, “It’s rare to come out once in a while, being cooped up in the room can be too boring.”
Zhang Yu was dumbfounded, “This …… isn’t too good, right? But I don’t have many talisman seals left, it’s time to buy some materials.”
Zhao Xing San smiled mysteriously, “Don’t worry, I already sneaked out yesterday, as long as I keep a low profile in this Mixed Yuan City, I won’t cause any trouble.”
“That’s right, so many Qi Practicing Stage disciples are safe and sound in Mixed Yuan City. If the four of us move together, who can still rob us? I want to go and see if there are any suitable weapon refining materials.”
Xu Chuniang thought about it and did not speak out against it.
She didn’t have many formation materials left on her and was in dire need of replenishment.
On top of that, she wanted to take her chances and see if she could find any inheritance regarding puppetry.
The Prosperity Sect didn’t pay much attention to the Puppetry Art, and the inheritance related to the Puppetry Art was very shallow and couldn’t be of much use at all. If she wanted to obtain a better inheritance, she could only hope for this Mixed Yuan City.
On the second day, the four of them left the Xiang Yun Inn and went to the busy road a few blocks away.
Huo Chunyan saw a store peddling weapon refining materials and instantly couldn’t take her eyes off of it, going up and asking about several materials.
After asking for the prices, she walked back somewhat dejectedly.
“There are quite an abundance of materials in Mixed Element City, but I don’t have many spirit stones in my hand, so let’s go to another store and take a look.”
As an alchemist, Zhao Xing San was quite wealthy, and after entering a rather atmospheric store, he laid his hands on some precious spirit herbs.
As for Zhang Yu and Xu Chuniang, they also added some materials in this store.
Seeing Zhao Xing San’s extraordinary outburst, the fellow’s face was piled with smiles.
“I don’t know if a few of you have any other needs, this store is one of the top stores in Mixed Element City, and the prices of the spirit materials are also fair and square.”
Xu Chuniang’s heart moved slightly, “I wonder if in your store, there is a puppetry art related inheritance?”
“This ……”
The fellow pondered briefly, and eventually told the truth.
“There are naturally inheritances related to puppet arts in the store, but they are all superficial skins. With the cultivation level of a few fellow Daoists, I’m afraid it won’t help much.”
Xu Chuniang had already prepared for this, so naturally, she did not look disappointed, nodded and prepared to leave, going to other stores to ask.
But at that moment, the fellow spoke up and called out to her.
“Fellow Daoist, please stay. Although we don’t have what you want in our store, but in the auction that will be held in the city two days from now, news was released that there is a puppet art related inheritance, I just don’t know if this news is true or not.”
“Auction?”
The fellow looked at his words and realized that a few people did not know much about the auction, his heart was clear.
These few cultivators, 80% of them had just come to Mixed Yuan City not long ago.
“There are monthly auctions in the city, where a lot of good things go out, and even every few years, heavy treasures such as the Golden Elemental Dan will appear, thus attracting a lot of cultivators to go there.”
“Golden Origin Dan!”
Zhao Xing San lightly exclaimed, his eyes flashing with a strange color.
As one of the five great sects, the Easy Sect, there were only that limited number of two or three people in the sect who could refine the Golden Elemental Pill.
I didn’t expect that there would be such an alchemist in Mixed Yuan City.
“Not only the Golden Yuan Dan, other high-grade spirit weapons and pills are also in the minority, even magic weapons, and even some heaven and earth spirit items are also available. It’s just that their prices, naturally, won’t be cheap.”
Huo Chunyan is also a bit moved by what she hears, even if she can’t afford it, it’s always good to grow some insight.
“Then how can I participate in this auction?”
“There is no restriction on this auction, everyone above the seventh level of Qi cultivation can participate.”
After a few people went out, they followed that fellow’s guidance and walked towards a large domed hall to purchase a door plate to participate in the auction.
After paying twenty Spirit Stones, the four of them smoothly obtained their door tags.
It was only because the auction was nearing its start that the number plates they received were not consecutive.
The result of this was that after the auction started two days later, the four were forced to scatter in different corners.
