The First Immortal of Swordsmanship

In front of the old blind man's stall, monks gathered.

When Su Yi and his party arrived, there were already three floors inside and three floors outside, and they were packed with people.

Five black ghost lamps oozing with blood-colored candlelight attracted everyone's attention.

As the stall owners said, most of the monks who entered the ghost market came here for the five ghost lanterns in the old blind man's hands.

"Senior, I have a precious bone here..."

As a young monk spoke, he took out a jade box and presented it in front of him. Inside the jade box, a section of jet-black treasure bone was shining brightly, flowing with spiritual fluctuations.

"The precious bones of the Mist Soul Beast?"

There was a commotion in the crowd. These precious bones were comparable to spiritual treasures, and their value was extremely astonishing.

Undoubtedly, this young monk came prepared.

"On today's green road, this precious bone is considered a rare thing."

The old blind man obviously had no eyes, but he seemed to have sensed the wonder of this precious bone, and praised it in a hoarse voice.

The young monk suddenly became overjoyed and said, "Can this junior replace it with a ghost lamp?"

The old blind man shook his head: "Although it is a rare thing, it cannot get into my eyes, old blind man. Please step back."

The young monk's expression was filled with joy and frustration.

When other people present saw this, their hearts were churning. Such a precious bone couldn't satisfy the old blind man?

What kind of treasure is it that can be exchanged for a ghost lamp from his hand?

"Senior, what do you think of this spiritual weapon? I obtained it from an ancient ruins in the Giant Elephant Kingdom. It is suspected to be a legacy of ancient monks..."

A monk took out the treasure box, leaving only a small gap exposed. He looked at the old blind man and then closed it again, as if he was worried about being seen by others.

"No." The old blind man was indifferent.

"I have a fragment of animal skin, which is a secret map passed down from my ancestors. I would like to ask you, senior, to take a look at it."

"Senior, what do you think of this gem?"

...Next, many monks spoke out and offered various rare treasures, but the old blind man refused them all.

This made everyone present feel that the old blind man's request seemed too harsh.

Finally, a young man in silver robe brought out a strange silkworm cocoon that satisfied the old blind man and agreed to exchange it for a ghost lamp.

The silver-robed young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he noticed the envious looks from around him, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.

This strange silkworm cocoon is called "Red Cloud Spirit Cocoon". If you cultivate it carefully, it can transform into the rare "Red Cloud Nine Spirit Silkworm" in the world!

"Young man, come and pick out a ghost lantern."

The old blind man spoke.

The silver-robed young man took a deep breath, pointed at the ghost lantern in the middle, and said, "Senior, I choose this one."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost lamp suddenly flew up and came to the young man in silver robe.

"Congratulations, young master, on your good fortune!"

Beside the young man in silver robe, two attendants congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tao."

Many monks also spoke one after another.

The silver-robed young man's name is Tao Jianting, a direct descendant of the "Tao" clan, one of the three major cultivating clans in Tiannan Prefecture. His status is noble and not inferior to those of the core descendants of the cultivating forces.

Being flattered by everyone, Tao Jianting smiled and waved his hands, and said reservedly: "Whether this is a great opportunity or not, it's hard to say. Don't try to flatter me."

Although he said this, he could not hide his elation.

Being able to get a ghost lantern from the old blind man from Xiaofengdu is also a very honorable thing to tell!

"Master Tao, why don't you open the seal now, take a look at the treasures inside, and open our eyes too?"

An older monk twisted his beard and said with a smile.

Suddenly, everyone else looked at Tao Jianting expectantly.

Even Yuan Heng and Qing Ya were very curious.

As for Su Yi, he had been looking at the old blind man and didn't care about other things.

"Forget it, this ghost lamp seal will eventually be opened, so let's open it and take a look."

Tao Jianting took a deep breath, put his palm on the top of the ghost lantern, and with a snap, the black paper lantern bloomed and burned like petals, then turned into ashes and disappeared, revealing a sarcophagus inside.

The sarcophagus was only about the size of a palm, covered with dust, and a layer of blood-red sealing restrictions covered the space between the coffin lid and body, attracting the attention of everyone present.

At this moment, Tao Jianting couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He calmed down and reached out to touch the blood-red seal.

Click!

Just like opening a long-sealed treasure chest, as the bloody seal dissipated, the dusty coffin lid slid, revealing the scene inside the coffin.

Tao Jianting's face, full of excitement and anticipation, suddenly froze, his pupils suddenly widened, and his whole person was stunned.

When they saw the items in the coffin clearly, other people nearby were also shocked and looked at each other with strange expressions.

Because there was only a handful of curly hair in the sarcophagus...

The atmosphere suddenly became weird and silent, and many people were suppressing laughter.

A red glow cocoon of astonishing value was replaced with a handful of curly hair. This was simply a loss of blood and a misfortune!

"A tuft of hair?"

Qingya cried out, "What kind of opportunity is this!? Isn't it too cheating?"

Hearing this, many people could no longer hold it in and burst out laughing, and the air was filled with joy.

Previously, Tao Jianting was able to obtain the ghost lantern, which was envied by countless people.

Now, although everyone wanted to hold back, they still laughed uncontrollably, and looked at Tao Jianting with pity.

"Yeah, another one has been tricked!"

The stall owners in the distance all shook their heads. They knew that the old blind man's ghost lanterns required luck, so why did they choose to be taken advantage of?

"A tuft of hair...a tuft of hair..."

Tao Jianting's forehead was congested with blood, and veins burst out on his forehead. He was so depressed that he almost coughed up blood. When he heard everyone's laughter again, he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

What a trap!

Spending a rare spiritual cocoon, only to get a handful of hair?

When this news spreads, Tao Jianting, who has been a wise man throughout his life, is afraid that he will be inseparable from this "pinch of hair"!

Even Su Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Using this thing to deceive people, this guy of the "ghost-picking-the-sarcophagus" lineage is really as sinister and mean as ever...

"There are four ghost lanterns left. Is there anyone who can exchange them?"

The old blind man and the old god are speaking out.

Suddenly, everyone's minds were diverted.

Only Tao Jianting had a complicated look on his face, stiff and depressed.

He couldn't regret it. He chose the ghost lantern himself. He was willing to admit defeat. No one could blame him. And even if he wanted to regret it, he didn't dare to act recklessly.

According to rumors, the old blind man from Xiaofengdu had unfathomable morals.

In the past, there were many characters who wanted to confront the old blind man after being tricked, but without exception, they all suffered big losses at the hands of the old blind man!

"Brother Su Yi, I want the second ghost lantern on the left, can you help me?"

Suddenly, Qingya's voice sounded in Su Yi's ears.

Turning around, he saw this pretty and lovely girl looking at him expectantly.

Qingya continued to transmit the message: "I have a treasure in my hand called 'Zhenlong Mysterious Marrow'. I am confident that the old blind man will agree to the exchange, but his rules do not allow women to participate, so..."

"It's a trivial matter. As for the precious marrow, you should keep it for yourself. If you exchange it for a ghost lamp like this, you will inevitably give the old blind man an advantage."

Su Yi agreed casually.

He stepped forward, pointed to the second ghost lantern on the left, and said, "I'll give you a secret in exchange for this ghost lantern."

The monks present were all shocked and looked at Su Yi, exchanging the secret for the ghost lamp? This is the first time they have encountered such a strange thing.

An older monk said in a disdainful tone: "Young man, the treasures we each took out cannot be replaced by a ghost lamp. You only have a secret, let alone true or false, how can it be worth a ghost lamp? If you don't have the treasure in your hand, just Don't get involved or waste everyone's time."

Others also shook their heads.

The old blind man was also startled for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Okay, I want to see what the secret you are talking about is. Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you. If I really want to reject you, I will give you a Reasons to be convinced.”

How could the monks present not hear the unabashed disdain in the old blind man's mouth?

Undoubtedly, no matter what secrets the green-robed young man in front of him came up with, he might not be able to pass the old blind man's test.

This is equivalent to rejecting this exchange.

If he were to play a slightly smarter character, he might have retreated because he knew it would be difficult.

But to the surprise of everyone present, Su Yi said calmly: "I have changed my mind. The secret in my hand must be exchanged for the remaining four ghost lanterns in your hand."

The whole audience was in an uproar, and almost couldn't believe their ears.

Yuan Heng and Qing Ya were stunned for a moment, their eyes slightly strange.

"You have a secret, you want to exchange for my old blind man's four ghost lamps?"

The old blind man seemed to be in disbelief. He sat up straight and said expressionlessly, "Young man, if you are deliberately stirring up trouble, the old blind man may have to take care of your elders and teach you how to behave."

Su Yi laughed, took out a blank jade slip, thought for a moment, and then engraved some handwriting on it.

"After reading the secrets, remember to apologize to me. I will not care about your offensive behavior just now. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Su Yi spoke calmly, raised his hand and threw it, and the jade slip fell into the old blind man's hands.

These words fell into the eyes of the monks present, and they almost couldn't help but laugh. A young man, with only one secret, wanted to change four ghost lanterns without telling anyone, and also asked the old blind man to apologize. This... I'm afraid he is not crazy!

The old blind man was obviously very angry, and his face flickered for a while.

After a while, he glared at Su Yi fiercely with his empty eyes, and sneered: "Boy, if I really can't refuse your secret, let alone apologize, I will kneel down and call you in front of everyone. Just say grandpa!"

Everyone realized that even if the secret Su Yi presented was shocking, the old blind man would definitely refuse it for the sake of his own face!

For a moment, they all looked at Su Yi with a trace of pity. Did they mess up?

Only Yuan Heng and Ling Yunhe had their eyes fixed on the old blind man.

The old blind man took the jade slip and looked very angry and disdainful at first.

But when he sensed the contents of the jade slip, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His whole body shivered, and his whole body was as if his soul was out of his body. He was as stunned as a clay sculpture.
