Chapter 168 Old Woman

Although the old woman exuded a deathly aura, she didn't seem to have any cultivation at first glance.

But how can a person who can set up a stall in Tianyuanfang Market be an ordinary mortal?

Not to mention the fellow casual cultivators around the old woman's stall, who looked at the old woman with faint fear in their eyes.

Obviously, this old woman has extraordinary strength and is a difficult person to deal with.

Ye Jin subconsciously cast the Zhanzhan Qi Technique and saw that the spiritual energy in the old man's body was surging, like a blazing fire.

Unexpectedly, the next second, a huge pressure of spiritual consciousness swept over!

This spiritual consciousness directly interrupted the Qi-gazing technique that Ye Jin was performing.

The old woman opened her wrinkled eyelids, looked at Ye Jin with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Young students, not everyone can use the pupil technique to look at them unscrupulously."

Half a step to Zifu!

There was still a look of shock in Ye Jin's eyes. She never expected that this old human woman, who seemed to have half of her body buried in the ground, would be a powerful being that was not weaker than the king of Black Wind Mountain, Xiong Shanjun!

Fortunately, the old man's spiritual pressure just interrupted his Qi-Watching Technique. If his soul were attacked, with Ye Jin's current soul strength in the middle stage of enlightenment, he would not be able to defend himself against the soul attack of a half-step Zifu.

After secretly warning himself, Ye Jin quickly came to his senses, bowed respectfully and apologized:

"Just now, I have offended the juniors. Please forgive me, seniors."

The old woman sunk her eyes deep into her sockets and looked at the mandrill deeply. Without saying anything, she closed her eyes again, looking like she was lacking in energy.

This look made Ye Jin want to complain in her heart.

How can a strong man with half a foot in the Zi Mansion lose his energy?

Secretly thinking in his heart, Ye Jin still had a respectful look on his face. He quickly came to the old man's stall and squatted down, looking at the goods on the stall.

Most of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures peddled by the old woman are elixirs, spiritual minerals and other materials, and the grades are not low, and at worst they are second-grade mid-grade.

No wonder there were almost no customers in front of the stall, except for Ye Jin.

Those who can afford the existence of second-level middle-grade elixir ores must be in the realm of second-level foundation building and transparency.

Ye Jin stopped immediately when he saw the stall and expressed surprise.

It’s not because the elixirs and minerals at the old man’s stall contain spiritual objects that can cause the reaction of the [Jamfu Treasure Tree].

It's because a certain treasure placed on this stall coincides with a certain treasure in Ye Jin's mind.

Ye Jin squatted down, pointed to a certain treasure on the stall with a respectful expression and asked:

"I dare to ask, senior, what is this? And how is it sold?"

In front of the old man's stall, what the mandrill pointed at was a small amount of black-yellow powder. If you zoom in and look carefully, you can see that these powders are not real powders, but crystal-like crystals that look like grains of salt.

Facing Ye Jin's inquiry, the old woman didn't even open her eyes. She just closed her eyes and replied in a hoarse voice:

"One tael of Wu Tu's essence is worth twenty thousand spiritual stones."

It is indeed the essence of Wu Tu!

Ye Jin was secretly happy after hearing this.

Just now, he accidentally spotted this small group of Wutu essences while wandering around, but the number of these Wutu essences was too rare.

In addition, Ye Jin's understanding of the essence of Wutu all came from the description in "The Refining Method of the Five Elements Ruyi Stick", and he himself had never really seen what the essence of Wutu looked like.

Therefore, although Ye Jin had some guesses in his heart just now, he was not sure.

Now that he has received the affirmation from the Banbu Zifu, Ye Jin is completely convinced that this object is the essence of the Five Elements Earth attribute that is used to refine the "Five Elements Ruyi Stick" - the essence of Wutu!

The only pity is that the handful of Wutu essences in the old man's stall are too rare, only one or two.

And if you want to upgrade one line of Ruyi sticks to two lines, at least five taels of Wutu essence are just enough, and one tael is definitely not enough.

As for the price of 20,000 spirit stones quoted by the old man, it is not expensive at all and is a normal market price.

After all, according to Ye Jin's budget, a piece of Wutu Essence cost at least 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones. The old man gave 20,000 spiritual stones for one tael of Wutu Essence, which was actually a bit cheaper.

There is nothing to hesitate. Although one or two Wutu essences are far from enough to lift a row of Ruyi sticks to the second row, it is already very lucky to meet him.

Don’t you see, Ye Jin has been shopping almost all over Chiba City, and he only found this little bit at the stalls of Tianyuan Market?

Originally, Ye Jin had pinned his hopes on next year's auction, but he didn't expect to receive some goods now, so why not be satisfied?

He decisively took out 20,000 low-grade spiritual stones and handed them over.

I don't know what the old woman did, but the spirit stone disappeared as soon as it flew in front of the stall.

Immediately afterwards, one or two Wutu essences on the stall rose up without wind and slowly floated to Ye Jin.

From beginning to end, the old woman kept her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

After collecting the essence of Wutu, Ye Jin didn't stand up and leave in a hurry.

Although the elixirs and minerals in the old woman's stall are all extraordinary, they are all dispensable for Ye Jin who pursues the ability to refine Qi threads.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Ye Jin's eyes, and she finally gritted her teeth and asked respectfully and cautiously:

"I wonder if I, senior, can tell me where this essence of Wutu came from. If you can tell me a little bit, I will be very grateful to you."

The voice fell and the scene fell into silence for a moment.

The old man didn't reply, he didn't even open his eyes, he still looked sleepy.

Just when Ye Jin thought the old man refused to answer, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

"This essence of Wutu was not obtained by the old woman, but was given to me by a younger generation."

Hearing the old woman's answer, Ye Jin felt happy in her heart. She didn't dare to be negligent and quickly raised her hands and asked respectfully:

"Senior please also inform this junior about this person's whereabouts. I would be very grateful."

After hearing this, the old woman did not reply, but pointed her finger, and a black light flew out of the old man's sleeves and stopped in front of the mandrill.

The black light receded, revealing its true appearance under the black light. After a closer look, it turned out to be a black jade pendant.

Even without turning on the Qi Watching Technique, Ye Jin could still feel the faint forbidden power emanating from the jade pendant.

"This is?"

Holding the jade pendant in her hand, Ye Jin looked puzzled.

"Three days later, there will be a trade fair in the grocery store in the south of the city. This is the voucher. As expected, that junior will appear at the trade fair."

The old woman didn't show off and explained slowly.

black market!

These two words were the first words that came to Ye Jin's mind after listening.

Obviously, the trade fair three days later is a trading place that is different from the Tianyuan Market and the major shops in Tianyuanfang.

In a way, it is similar to next year's auction, but the difference is that this transaction will be in the dark.

At the same time, Ye Jin was also keenly aware that the venue of this trade fair also held a lot of mysteries.

The southern part of Chiba Castle is equivalent to a slum.

There are a large number of mortals living there. After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, not everyone can practice. The vast majority of human beings have no spiritual roots and therefore cannot practice.

Those who live in the south of Chiba City are most of the relatives of the casual cultivators. Since these people do not have spiritual roots, they have one or two family members who have spiritual roots, so they can live in the city instead of outside the city.

However, compared to the entire Chiba City, the gathering place for mortals is a veritable slum for the monks.

After all, it is almost impossible to have monks there, and even if there were, they would only be those at the first or second level of Qi training, rookies who had just entered the world of spiritual practice.

The location of the trade fair is located in the south of the city, so it is naturally hidden and can avoid the eyes and ears of most practitioners. It is naturally difficult for Qianye Hall to notice this place.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the owner of the trade fair may have thought carefully.

Ye Jin even speculated that the owner of this trade fair might be the old human woman who was halfway through Zifu.

Although she had some suspicions in her heart, Ye Jin certainly didn't show any of it on her face.

With a grateful look on his face, he put away the black jade pendant. At the same time, he took out five thousand spirit stones from the storage bag and handed it over, saying respectfully:

"Thank you, senior, for informing me. This is a little thought from my junior. Please don't refuse, senior."

Although taking out five thousand spirit stones at once made Ye Jin a little heartbroken.

But one of them is this old human woman who has reached half-step in Zifu. She has no dislike for this demon cultivator. Although she behaves a little coldly, she just treats everyone equally. On the contrary, Ye Jin thinks that this person is a white ape.

A "good guy" who is almost lame and old.

Another reason is that Ye Jin has no intention of making friends with a half-step strong man from Zifu.

Although this old woman did not show any strength, she could tell the whole thing just from the huge pressure of spiritual consciousness just now. Ye Jin, who had practiced the "Yamfu Refining God Art", could know the power of the old man.
