About two days later, Wu and Tian appeared outside a county town.
Unlike Wushuang County, counties such as Maoxian and Lixian are generally prohibited from flying, so the two of them can only enter the city on foot.
But when he heard that the cultivators had to pay for a low-grade spiritual stone, Bai Lin quit.
There are two hundred cities in one county, and he has traveled to more than a hundred cities. This is the first time he has heard such incredible regulations.
At this time, the guard at the door said impatiently: "This is a rule set by the Lord of Mao County himself. He is an immortal. A low-grade spiritual stone can provide the protection of an immortal. Why do you still dislike it? If you don't come in, get out."
Bai Lin was stunned. Most of the guards in front of him were only in the first stage of spirit, but they were in the middle stage of returning to the void. It seemed that Maolian Mountain had indeed given them a different kind of confidence.
Wu Tian thought for a while and stopped Bai Lin who wanted to argue. They were here to investigate. If this continued, they would undoubtedly alert the enemy.
After the two of them entered, the guard pouted at them, then waved back, and one of his men trotted over.
"Go and keep an eye on them. Although the deputy city lord has explained that the Nascent Soul Stage monks who entered during this period are the top priority, but those two guys are acting suspiciously, so it's better to be careful."
It's hard to imagine that this tall and tall guard was so attentive that he noticed something strange about Wu Tian and Wu Tian in just a few minutes.
No, to be precise, it was Bai Lin who showed his weakness. With Wu Tian's experience in his previous life, how could he make such a stupid mistake?
Maoxian County, like Lixian County, is home to millions of people. Although the streets are bustling with people, Wu Tian found that there are much fewer monks here than in Lixian County.
Generally speaking, three or four out of ten ordinary people will awaken and become monks, but here the visual estimate is less than 10%.
Not only that, Wu Tian also saw that most of the people here were lifeless, even the children.
At this time, Bai Lin also noticed something was wrong. He was about to step forward to ask but was stopped by Wu Tian's eyes, and then he quickly discovered the stalker behind him.
Next, the two found an inn to stay temporarily.
As soon as he entered the guest room, Bai Lin took out a disk and activated it to form a translucent aperture around it.
Seeing Wu Tian's admiring look, Bai Lin explained casually: "It's just a simple induction ban. It may be very expensive to sell outside. You can exchange it for only ten exchange points at Wushuang Sect."
"It seems you are still not experienced enough."
Wu Tian curled his lips, ten exchange points?
In other words, two high-grade spiritual stones are equivalent to a good mid-grade magic weapon.
But Wu Tian is of no use, he is always a loner, and even if something happens in the wilderness, he will enter the Qingtian Lei Mansion.
"By the way, now that we are being targeted, how can we go out and investigate?"
Encountering this situation when he first arrived, Bai Lin also felt a little troubled.
The answer given by Wu Tian was also very simple, "Act separately."
Bai Lin is in the middle stage of returning to the void, but his spiritual consciousness is comparable to that of a monk in the late Nascent Soul stage. Coupled with the unique attack methods of a ghost controller, he can deal with enemies even in the Mahayana stage.
As for Wu Tian himself, after half a year of hard training, although there is no breakthrough in his realm or physical body, he has made considerable progress. It is a pity that there is still no news about the Blood Demonic Thunder. Otherwise, when the Thunder Hidden Mosquito transforms into an adult, there will be another Excellent help.
It's just that he may have to face a Mahayana monk directly next, and his previous methods are slightly insufficient. Even if he has practiced the Ten Thousand Poisons Body Nurturing Technique to the seventh level, he will only be on par with the opponent.
Wu Tian thought about it and realized that his biggest trump card had always been the Sancai Sword Formation. Now it seemed that he should start preparing to repair it.
The Earth Formation Sword Tomb still poses a certain threat to monks in the early stage of the Mahayana stage, but it is more reluctant in the middle stage and above.
There is also the improvement of spiritual consciousness, which involves controlling the Three Talents Sword Formation, the Thunder Hidden Mosquito, and even the defense of the six-arm Shura body, which can be said to be the top priority.
Wu Tian had a headache when he thought of this.
He did not relax his spiritual consciousness cultivation during this year, but the growth rate was really pitifully slow.
He estimated that it would take at least twenty years to break through to the middle stage of Mahayana at this speed. Even if the breakthrough could increase a certain amount of spiritual awareness, it would not be possible to shorten it that much at once with Wu Tian's current cultivation speed.
Otherwise, let’s just spend money as before.
With this thought, Wu Tian immediately shook his head. The sixty high-grade spiritual stones to repair the Sancai Sword Formation have not yet been found. The treasure that increases spiritual consciousness is a bottomless pit. Now he only has two high-grade spiritual stones left in his body. I dare not take action with that high-grade fire magic weapon.
Bai Lin watched Wu Tian shaking his head and looking dejected from time to time, and couldn't help but asked curiously.
"poverty."
Although Wu Tian's answer was only one word, it made Bai Lin agree with him deeply, and he was not the same.
After sighing, the two poor guys quickly made a rough plan.
You can't go to the City Lord's Mansion, which is the territory of Maolian Mountain. No one knows whether he is in the mansion now, and as the deputy City Lord, Mao Lianqiu has always lived in the City Lord's Mansion and has full authority to manage the affairs of Maoxian County.
In this case, Bai Lin planned to make innuendo on the people living here. As for Wu Tianze, he planned to start from another aspect, which was the problem of the number of monks that he had just noticed.
Nowadays, demonic beasts are frequently causing trouble outside. Except for the county, which is better, every county is overwhelmed. How could there be so few monks?
Soon after, the two left the inn one after the other.
Unlike Bai Lin, who was secretive, Wu Tian directly used the mask of the strange demon to transform into a middle-aged man with a sallow face and walked out openly. With some imitation skills that a killer must know, as long as he didn't use spells or take action, basically nothing would be leaked. possible.
After waiting a few streets, Wu Tian discovered that the pursuer behind him was gone. He must have also realized that he was following the wrong person.
Next, Wu Tian walked slowly on the street, buying some steamed buns and snacks from the surrounding vendors from time to time. He did not look around, but relied on his powerful spiritual consciousness to cover his surroundings.
At this time, his pair of strange eyes came in handy. After all, most monks would not reveal the slightest aura without taking action, but in Wu Tian's eyes, the white light on the other person's head was as dazzling as small suns.
In less than half an hour, he discovered something unusual.
There are monks guarding the beginning and end of every street here. They should all be followers of the Mao family. Not only are their movements similar, but even the eyes they occasionally meet are wary.
It seems that their target should be those casual cultivators. They basically ignore ordinary people, but when a cultivator passes by, they will look at each other with scrutinizing eyes.
Wu Tian even saw a casual cultivator in the Void Return Stage tremble under this look, and then quickly fled back to his inn, but the other party was only a first-stage spirit.
This scene made Wu Tian's curiosity even more intense.
Next, he went to several streets and finally determined that these casual cultivators were all under surveillance and were not allowed to leave the city.
Just when he was about to return to the inn, a shout suddenly came from the distance: "I just came in to buy something, no need to be so polite."
I saw a gray old man walking in surrounded by several guards. At this time, the leading guard laughed and said: "Senior Li, you are a famous Nascent Soul monk, so you naturally deserve the courtesy of my Mao family. The deputy city lord has already set up a banquet at the city lord’s mansion and is waiting for you, senior.”
"No,,, no need,"
The old man wanted to refuse, but the guard's next words made him shut up obediently.
"The city lord is practicing in the mansion, and he might come out to give some advice. Senior, the immortal will give you some advice. This is a rare opportunity."
Even the immortals had moved out, so the old man naturally did not dare to say anything.
After they left, Wu Tian also left slowly with his hands behind his back.
It seems that not only the monks in the first spiritual stage and the return to void stage, but also the high-level monks in the Nascent Soul stage can't escape, but their treatment is better and they can live in the city lord's mansion.
Soon, Wu Tian returned to the inn. The inn they chose was extremely ordinary. Not only monks stayed there, but also ordinary people. Therefore, Wu Tian's return did not attract anyone's attention.
But after the dusk began to rise and Bai Lin was still not seen, Wu Tian knew that something was wrong.
He shouldn't die. Wu Tian didn't feel any fluctuations in the battle during the day, and the disciples of the Wushuang Sect had all left their natal stones.
Once he died, with the terrifying speed of the immortal, he might have been killed by now.
In this way, Wu Tian guessed that Bai Lin was probably caught by the Mao family's followers.
The mission period was three months, but he was caught on the first day he came to Maoxian County. While he looked helpless, he also sincerely admired Bai Lin.
Others died before they left the army, but you were better off and were caught half a day after you left the army.
Now he is the only one left to complete this deceiving task.
After complaining about this pig teammate, Wu Tian knew that there was a more serious problem to deal with. Then he carefully left his room and then came to the door of the guest room around the corner.
As soon as he stood still, a slightly surprised voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Wu Tian thought for a while and then said: "Do you need service?"
The person living inside was a thin man in the late stage of spiritual development. He was already uneasy and just wanted to curse when he heard this, but then the door slowly opened.
After a while, the sallow-looking middle-aged man left the room and left the inn.
Not long after, there was the sound of noisy footsteps, and several retinues who had been guarding the streets during the day hurriedly rushed into the inn.
Farther away, a kind-faced white-haired old man escaped into the darkness.
After guessing that Bai Lin might be caught, Wu Tian wasn't sure whether his teammate would betray him, but he didn't have the habit of trusting his safety to others.
Before leaving, he also learned from the poor casual cultivator what had happened in the county recently.
It doesn't matter whether the group of people just brought by Bai Lin or the casual cultivators.
That night, in a remote abandoned house in Maoxian County, Wu Tian called Qingtianlei Mansion out, stayed with Mu Puppet on guard, and then returned to the mansion.
Mu Puppet did not lie. After a year of maintenance, the Lei Mansion was now a lush scene. A faint yellow vein could be seen emerging from the ground, and then disappeared.
This is the fragment of the Great Way of Earth. If a cultivator with earth spiritual roots can practice here for one day, it is worth ten days outside.
