Mortal Mage

Feizhou Fairy City, the attic of the Tianzi guest room.

Emperor's Room No. 2.

Ji Yiqian was dressed in a grey cloth like a waiter, with a white towel hanging on his shoulder and holding a tray, and walked to the door of Tianzi Room No. 2 with a hunched back.

He gently stroked the door lock with his fingers, and the door lock clicked and opened.

Then he strode into the room carrying a tray, opened the palm-sized green jade porcelain incense burner at the bedside, and replaced it with a new stack of incense.

If you don't look carefully, it's hard to notice that the replaced incense has brown in the front half and gray-brown in the back half.

He covered the incense burner, left the room, locked the door, and walked out of the attic with his head shaking.

The first half of this incense is ordinary floral fragrance, and the second half is psychedelic fragrance. It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect it unless they are alchemists, pharmacists, or poison masters.

Zuixianlou, auction, Five Elements Spiritual Roots branch venue.

In the front row of seats, Li Xucheng sat next to Zhang Mingxuan.

Zhang Mingxuan held a wolf skull in one hand and gently stroked it with the other.

The tabby wolf has fire attribute, and this skull can carry fire runes. With this thing, he can easily carve high-level fire runes on it to stimulate more violent fireballs. For him, this is at least a rare offensive material.

However, in the eyes of other cultivators, this kid spent five hundred low-grade spirit stones to buy a first-level monster skull, which was really a rip-off.

Five hundred low-grade spirit stones were enough to capture a full-grown, lively tabby wolf.

The only special thing about this skull is that there is a naturally formed heart shape on the texture of the skull.

Other attributes are no different from those of an ordinary wolf skull.

After playing with it for a while, Zhang Mingxuan happily put the skull into his storage ring.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Five-Star Spiritual Pattern Spear you bought."

A purple-robed monk walked up to Zhang Mingxuan, carrying a delicate and small gray wooden box.

Zhang Mingxuan took the wooden box, opened it and looked inside.

A lance as big as an ear pick was placed in the box.

"This? It was shown on the stage just now and it was eight feet long. How come it is so small?" (2.7 meters)

"Um, fellow Daoist, this."

The purple-robed monk looked at Zhang Mingxuan with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem." Li Xucheng coughed twice, looking embarrassed, and turned sideways to Zhang Mingxuan and said, "Master, although this magic weapon is of low quality, it is excellent and can be driven and controlled by spiritual power."

"I see."

Zhang Mingxuan rubbed his nose, took out three medium-grade spirit stones from his ring and handed them to the purple-robed monk.

After the purple-robed monk left, Zhang Mingxuan took out a low-grade spirit stone and held it in his hand.

He carved a simplified spirit gathering array on this low-grade spirit stone.

Therefore, he can directly inject the spiritual power in the spirit stone into some low-level magical tools that do not recognize their master or do not have encryption runes, so as to interact with these magical tools.

Once the magic weapon is restricted or recognizes its master, his move will be useless.

He held the spirit stone in his hand and tried to inject the spiritual power in the spirit stone into the five-star spirit pattern spear in the wooden box.

Spiritual energy rapidly poured into the Five-Star Spiritual Pattern Spear, and the spirit stone began to dim.

But the Five-Star Spiritual Pattern Spear in the wooden box did not react at all.

"Master, this spear probably requires some practice. It may be difficult to drive it with just spiritual power."

Li Xucheng stroked his beard and looked at Zhang Mingxuan respectfully.

Li Xucheng knew clearly that Zhang Mingxuan had no cultivation. Although he didn't know how Zhang Mingxuan controlled the spirit stone to open the storage ring, if he wanted to operate magic weapons, he had to rely on the twelve spiritual roots in his body to convert the spiritual power into corresponding attributes before he could control them.

"Master, the spiritual power in the spirit stone has no attributes. It can only be used if the spiritual power in the spirit stone is converted into attributes that match the weapon."

Li Xucheng pressed his eyelids and looked at the mini five-star spirit pattern spear in the wooden box; "How about Master, let me try it, my spiritual roots, this five-star spirit pattern spear also has the five elements and mixed attributes."

Zhang Mingxuan nodded slightly and pushed the wooden box to Li Xucheng's desk.

Li Xucheng exerted a little force with his fingertips, and a trace of the mixed attributes of the five elements flowed into the spear.

The Lingwen Spear felt the spiritual power being injected, and it became restless. It vibrated with a "hum...", and then a ray of starlight flashed, followed by a "listen!" and it expanded and broke through the wooden box with a "clang", and fell horizontally on the table.

The spear head was in the shape of a sharp triangle, and on the blade were neatly engraved five words: "Five-Star Spiritual Pattern Spear". The spear gave off a slightly fishy smell.

"Master, would you like me to help you take it back?"

"No, take it back and I won't get any bigger."

Zhang Mingxuan grasped the Lingwen Spear and put it into the ring.

This five-star spiritual pattern spear is a weapon with the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. If it is wielded by a person with mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, it can fight across five small realms during the foundation-building period.

But if it lacks any one of these attributes, it would just be an ordinary low-grade weapon.

To put it simply, if you are at the first level of Qi Refining, leaving aside the techniques and mental methods, you can fight on equal terms with someone at the fifth level of Qi Refining with just this weapon.

"Everyone, the last item of today's auction is called Bi Yao Treasure Eyes. It is an item that failed to be sold at the main venue." A young monk on the stage was holding an object that looked like a fish eye and spoke loudly.

When they learned that the last item was unsold at the main venue, some monks began to leave the venue one after another.

The young monk on the stage ignored the people who were dispersing below the stage, and just continued to introduce according to the procedure; "This item is a sea monster eye called Huan Bi Manta, which belongs to the water, ice, and yin system. It can be used as medicine, alchemy, and swallowed. After swallowing, it can grow a kind of temporary fish gills, which can allow the user to survive underwater for a short period of time. It is a kind of water-repellent bead, but it is a disposable item."

After the introductions, only a few people were left in the venue.

"Starting price: 500 low-grade spirit stones."

After the young monk on the stage finished speaking, another group of people left the stage; "Let's go, who would go to the sea to die for no reason?"

"Old Li, I think this thing is pretty nice."

Zhang Mingxuan finished the remaining sip of spiritual tea on the table and prepared to go out.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Do you want to consider it?"

The young monk on the stage looked at the last two people who were about to leave and shouted.

"No, it's no use."

Zhang Mingxuan walked out of the side door of the venue without looking back.

At the same time, a tall young woman in gray passed by Zhang Mingxuan.

The woman in gray pouted her delicate lips; "If you don't want it, then don't want it, humph!"

She is Huayu.

"Senior sister!"

Li Xucheng walked behind Zhang Mingxuan and crossed the street from Hua Yu, then quickly raised his hand to greet him.

"Junior Brother Li, how was your day? Did you learn something new?"

Hua Yu pouted and waved at the monks on the stage.

The young monk on the stage lightly hooked his two fingers and moved the Biyao Treasure Eyes in front of him to Hua Yu's side, and said apologetically, "Junior sister, your thing is really hard to take a picture of."

Hua Yu raised her hand to catch it, with a worried look on her face, and shook her head. "Brother Le Xin, even though it failed to be sold, I still want to thank you for letting me bid for it one more time."

"Junior sister, I will see if I can ask Brother Song for help tomorrow and let you bid for this item at another venue."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lexin."

"Alas, Junior Sister, I don't want to persuade you, but if you were less playful, you might have already achieved the Golden Elixir."

Le Xin shook her head, put the sundries on the table into her storage bag, and left the venue.

"What are you looking at? I'm afraid you don't want it, but you can't afford it. Humph! Let's go, Junior Brother."

Hua Yu glanced at Zhang Mingxuan and said to Li Xucheng.

Li Xucheng winked at Zhang Mingxuan frantically and followed Hua Yu out of Zuixian Tower.

Zhang Mingxuan didn't understand what Li Xucheng meant by his expression. After hesitating for a long time, he continued Hua Yu's words, "Five hundred low-grade spirit stones. I want them."
