Chapter 372: The Outside World

As soon as Yuan Qinghua's voice fell, Xu Yi's body flickered, and he came to the door, stopped the old man in sackcloth, and clasped his fists and said, "Old man, take a step to speak."

The old man in sackcloth was in a daze, Yuan Qinghua rushed up and whispered, "Proprietor, it's really not a good thing, so don't worry about it."

Although the voice was small, it was enough for the old man in sackcloth to hear clearly.

As soon as he heard that the man in the bamboo hat in front of him was the proprietor of the place, the old man in sackcloth immediately regained his spirits and wanted to talk endlessly while pulling Xu Yi, but Xu Yi stopped him and walked towards the private room.

Xu Yi waved his hand to stop Yuan Qinghua and shopkeeper Luo who were about to follow up, "You two go and do it yourself, I have my own sense of propriety, leave the door for me later, I'll do it myself." Saying that, he led the old man in sackcloth into the door.

Xu Yi was willing to invite the old man in sackcloth to get started, not because he was confident that he could outshine the two shopkeepers, Luo and Shen, but because he had a deep understanding of human nature.

If the sackclothed old man's intelligence is not hindered, and he has no treasures in his hands, he should not come to the door again and again.

Of course, this is just a bit of inference, but with this inference, it is enough for him to make some efforts.

He still remembers how he got the original number theory book.

However, Xu Yi led the old man in sackcloth to the entrance, and divided the guests and hosts into their seats. After a while, a servant offered refreshments.

Xu Yi slightly raised his hand, "I use it for my own use, you don't have to be polite." Then he ordered the boy who had retreated to the door to bring a few more dishes.

The old man in sackcloth was very hungry, so he stopped being polite at the moment, picked up the plate, grabbed it with his hands, and sent it to his mouth fiercely, a plate of pastries fell into his stomach in an instant.

Not long after, the servant brought another five dishes, and he used up all of them. Xu Yi was still waiting for orders, but the old man in sackcloth stopped him with a wave of his hand, "It's full, thank you for your generosity." He picked up the tea and drank it again.

Xu Yi dismissed the servants and said with a smile, "I heard that the old man has formations for sale. I wonder if I can take a look?"

"Come to the door just to sell, how can we not let people watch."

Speaking, the old man in sackcloth took out three small red flags from his arms.

Xu Yi took it, and as soon as he touched his hand, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't know the name of this formation, what effect it has, and how much it is worth?"

The old man in sackcloth said, "This formation is called the Little Flame Formation, and it is a common killing formation in the fire-type formation. It was drawn by someone who spent all his possessions. Once activated, it will burn the sky and boil the sea within a hundred feet. It is so powerful that it cannot be sold for a million dollars."

Xu Yi was about to collapse, but the "Fire Element Killing Formation" and "Millions of Gold" were too shocking.

If it weren't for the fact that the material of the unnamed card lying on the Sumeru Ring on his wrist was too close to the light red flag, he would have left in a hurry.

"What is the fire-type killing formation? To be honest, I also studied formations. I only heard about protective formations and phantom formations. I have never heard of killing formations?"

Xu Yi can also be called a well-read book, and he has read a lot of books on arrays.

In his opinion, there are two types of formations in the world, the protective formation and the phantom formation. Both of these two types use the magic of the balance of the five elements. The formation flags are used to engrave the dharma pattern, and the formation is set up in the air to draw the five elements.

The small heavenly gang formation that Xu Yi once used was of this kind.

He has never heard of the so-called killing array.

The old man in sackcloth snorted coldly, "It's not surprising that you are young and have limited knowledge. I'm afraid your so-called study of formations is just books on the market. How can such well-known words record secrets?"

"Dare to try to explain what a killing formation is!" Xu Yi cupped his fists respectfully. He always respected and awed knowledge.

The old man in sackcloth said, "The so-called protective formation and phantom formation are just the most elementary formations. Using the magic patterns on the formation flags to seduce the five elements and distort the balance to obtain protection and psychedelic powers. The killing formation is more advanced. This kind of formation method must use the five elements talisman paper to carry the spirits of the five elements, paired with formations, absorbed and burned on the formation flags, and then driven by aura, moving mountains and seas, burning the world, and flooding the city. It is not a legend."

Xu Yi was dazzled by what the old man in sackcloth said, and he pointed at the three small flags in front of him obsessively, "If you said that, the small flame formation of the fire-type killing formation must have absorbed the spirit of fire with these flags?"

"Of course!" said the old man in sackcloth proudly.

"I don't know how to absorb this spirit of fire?"

"Is this not enough for outsiders?"

"Could it be that this flag was made by the old man?"

"Exactly!"

"In this case, I would like to ask the old man to test it for a while, whether the power is really as strong as the old man said."

As soon as Xu Yi's words came out, the old man in sackcloth went dumb for a moment, and blushed and said, "Shicai, someone has already stated that in order to exert the power of this killing formation, it needs to be activated by spiritual energy. However, in this dilapidated place in Da Yue, the spiritual energy is thin, and the spirit stone is almost a legend, so it is really difficult for someone to test it."

"Da Viet is a broken land? What do you mean by that?"

Xu Yi wondered.

The old man in sackcloth waved his hand, "I don't need to mind what I say. To tell you the truth, I have come to Zimoxuan several times because I heard that there is a large auction here. Anyone who enters the auction is a high-roller. I thought that if my little flame is auctioned, I might not be able to meet someone who knows the goods, so I can sell it for a good price."

Lingshi, spirit energy, killing array, broken ground...

If only one word appeared, Xu Yi might not notice it, but when so many words come together in one place, how could it not arouse his greatest attention.

At the late stage of Qi Sea, his body changes obviously, so how can he not think about where the end of his practice is.

Is it just a vain legend to hold a flying fairy to travel, and embrace a bright moon to die forever?

"Old man, people don't talk dark words. I like your set of killing formations. You can offer a real price. Since you know that Da Viet is a ruined place, you should know that spirit stones are hard to find here. This set of killing formations is just a piece of cake. It is difficult to have a high price. Tell me a real number. If it works, someone will take it. If it doesn't work, the old man will not bother you any more, and find someone else."

Xu Yi wanted to follow the words of the old man in sackcloth, but he knew that hard work would not work, so he had to go around in circles.

The old man in sackcloth pondered for a while, then slapped the coffee table heavily, "Eight hundred thousand gold is the same price, this price is the limit!"

Xu Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I'm sorry that I can't help you, old man, please help me!"

The old man in sackcloth sat still, glaring at Xu Yi and said, "Your Excellency thought I was lying, to tell you the truth, this little flame array is worth ten low-grade spirits at least..."

At this point, the words stopped suddenly.

"Ten low-grade spirit stones, right?"

Xu Yi accepted it calmly.

The old man in sackcloth asked in surprise, "You have also heard of Lingshi?"

"Someone has not only heard of Lingshi, but also this."

Xu Yi spread out his palm, and a red card lay firmly in his palm.

"Medium grade talisman paper!"

The old man in sackcloth stood up, looked at Xu Yi in surprise, and blurted out, "Could it be that you also came from the outside world?"

"Of course!"

Xu Yi smiled.
