Amidst the rapid footsteps, a group of city guards also rushed over. After asking about the situation, they first thanked Gu Qingxi and others profusely (there were monsters in the city, and if they hurt civilians, they would find no more excuses. It's hard to blame him), and then dragged away the magic armored rhinoceros whose head had been tortured by Di Feixue.
The Demonic Armored Rhinoceros is said to be full of treasures, but Gu Qingxi and others have experienced it frequently and have killed many high-level monsters. Even for higher-level sea beasts, they only kept the most precious parts. Of course he doesn't like the Magic Armored Rhinoceros.
"It's strange, why did the Demon Armored Rhino come to our Qingyuan City? I remember there is no Demon Armored Rhino's lair nearby, right?" One of the guards said doubtfully as they walked away.
"Even if there is, you shouldn't rush to the city. The brothers guarding the city are not blind." Another guard said in confusion.
"Stop making blind guesses. It's not the fault of those demon cultivators." The leading guard said angrily.
"Yes, it must be the trouble caused by those demon cultivators." Other guards agreed.
"According to me, Qingyuan City should not allow demonic cultivators to enter the city. It just causes trouble every now and then. This time we have caused such a big disaster. If we weren't lucky enough to have help, we wouldn't know how to report it to the Lord of the City." Explain." Someone else complained.
"Shh, keep your voice down. This is a rule established by Lord Tianjun in the early years. Is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?" his companion immediately reminded.
The guard quickly shut up and didn't dare to say any more, but he still had an indignant look on his face.
Gu Qingxi was actually also wondering, where did this magic armored rhinoceros come from, and how did it come out?
Hearing what the guards said, I couldn't help but feel a little strange: Why did they conclude that it was the demon cultivator who did it and put all the debt on the demon cultivator?
"How do they know it was a demon cultivator who did it?" Gu Qingxi asked after the group of guards dragged the body of the demon-armored rhinoceros away.
"Sister Qingxi, don't you know this?
Because the Demonic Armored Rhinoceros is not very intelligent and has a violent temper, it is difficult for immortal monks to tame it. However, demonic cultivators often rely on their strong bodies to tame the Demonic Armored Rhinoceros and use them as mounts.
However, mounts are mounts. Unlike spiritual pets, they do not require a strong contract. If you are not careful, they may escape and hurt innocent people. This kind of thing has happened in other cities before, and there are quite a few.
I met you today, otherwise I don’t know how many people in Qingyuan City would have suffered misfortune.
Also, it was said that it was accidental, but many people suspected that the demon cultivator actually did it on purpose. Demon cultivator, there are no good people, I am afraid that they only wish for the world to be in chaos.
If the evil cultivator is not eradicated, Tiancang Continent will never be able to live in peace. "Di Feixue curled her lips and explained patiently, with a look of disdain and disgust when she mentioned the magic cultivator.
"So that's it." Gu Qingxi finally understood.
It seems that the hatred between the immortal sect and the demonic sect in Tiancang Continent is accumulated bit by bit in this way.
But after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.
It is true that mounts are different from spiritual pets and do not need to sign a strong contract, so it is reasonable for the mount to escape. But in the case of the magic armored rhinoceros just now, she did not notice the slightest chance that the contract existed.
In other words, today's debt really cannot be attributed to the demon cultivator.
And were the old accounts Di Feixue mentioned really the work of demon cultivators?
Perhaps in the eyes of most immortal monks, what the demon cultivator tames is only a mount, not a spiritual pet. If it runs away, it is no big deal to the demon cultivator himself.
Even for this reason, it is perfectly normal to allow mounts to harm innocent people.
But Gu Qingxi knows that demon cultivators value the soul more because they pursue shortcuts in practice and tend to have unstable foundations. Once the mount escapes, the contract will gradually be broken, and the backlash will definitely hurt the soul of the demon cultivator.
Therefore, the demon cultivator has always been very strict with the mount, and will never allow it to escape easily, let alone take the initiative to let go of the mount just to cause trouble - isn't that living an impatient life?
After much thought, Gu Qingxi felt that something was fishy, and that it was not as simple as it seemed.
"Miss Feixue, I collected more than a dozen dragon blood vines from my farm the day before yesterday. I kept them specially for you. If you need them, just take them." While speaking, Di Feixue had already led several people in. In the alley, a middle-aged woman setting up a medicine stall said kindly to Di Feixue.
Dragon Blood Vine! Gu Qingxi's eyes lit up.
The grade of Dragon Blood Vine is not high, only reaching the third grade, and it does not have much medicinal value. However, if you add Dragon Blood Vine when tempering the Nine Heavens Spiritual Vein, you can get twice the result with half the effort, or even do it overnight without any risk.
To put it more clearly, Dragon Blood Vine is a catalyst, and it is an excellent catalyst for tempering the Nine Heavens Spiritual Veins.
However, unlike most medicinal herbs, Dragon Blood Vine only grows in barren places with thin spiritual energy and few people, so it is extremely rare in the world of cultivation.
Gu Qingxi never expected to see Dragon Blood Vine in Qingyuan City. Because it was so rare, she had never thought of looking for this herb before.
"Aunt Yang, it's not easy for Uncle Yang to collect some herbs. How can I take it from you for free? I remember that the Dragon Blood Vine costs three hundred spiritual stones per plant. Take it and keep it." Di Feixue took the Dragon Blood Vine. , took out a jade token marked four thousand and handed it over.
This kind of jade token is specially made by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, and is somewhat similar to the silver notes used by the ancients in Gu Qingxi's previous life. Holding the jade token, you can withdraw the corresponding spirit stones from any branch of the World Chamber of Commerce.
However, this is mainly used by monks to trade with mortals. After all, mortals do not have storage bags. If you are lucky enough to find valuable heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it will be very inconvenient to trade with monks.
Of course, this is not necessary for transactions between monks. The storage bag is also a symbol of status. Besides, taking out piles of spiritual stones is also a kind of psychological satisfaction.
"It's too much, too much. How can Dragon Blood Vine get so much money?" The middle-aged woman quickly declined.
After all, not many people know the true purpose of Dragon Blood Vine. Besides Gu Qingxi, there are probably not many Nine Heavens Spiritual Veins in the world. Therefore, although Dragon Blood Vine is rare, the price is not high and can usually be sold for two hundred spiritual stones. One plant is good.
The price Di Feixue paid was indeed a bit high.
"Aunt Yang, just take it, why are you so polite to me?" Di Feixue couldn't help but put the jade token into her hand.
Aunt Yang still refused to take advantage of her. She picked a dozen more spiritual herbs and insisted on letting Di Feixue accept them. Only then did she finally feel at ease.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingxi and others couldn't help but look at Di Feixue more highly.
With her status as the eldest lady of a cultivation family, she is able to mingle with ordinary mortals without any arrogance. This kind of normalcy is rare in Yuanzhen Continent, and it is even more rare in Tiancang Continent.
Don't forget, the monks in Tiancang Continent, regardless of whether they are immortal or demonic, all have two common problems. One is arrogance, and the other is brainwashing.
The only thing that made Gu Qingxi regretful was that Di Feixue also fell in love with Dragon Blood Vine, and it was this middle-aged woman who sent it to her on her own initiative. She was too embarrassed to win anyone's love.
"Sister Qingxi, this is for you." Just as she was regretting, Di Feixue suddenly said to her.
"Given to me?" Gu Qingxi was a little surprised.
