The arrival of the master of the Demon Sect triggered a secret investigation, but it had no impact on the ordinary monks. Xu Wen still took black pearl rice every day and practiced hard.
With Heizhumi and resources that are not inferior to those of ordinary sect disciples, his cultivation level has steadily improved, gradually approaching the peak of the second level of Qi refining.
A few months later, while he was practicing, the formation in the house was suddenly touched. When he went out, he saw Liu Minghe, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Senior Brother Liu, what are you doing?"
Looking at Liu Minghe who was out of breath, Xu Wen was a little surprised.
"Come with me quickly. Do you have all your spirit stones with you? I'll take you to a good place today. I'll tell you on the way!"
Without any explanation, he grabbed Xu Wen and Liu Minghe led him straight out of the city.
When he left the city gate, Xu Wen finally understood why Liu Minghe was so anxious.
It turned out that Liu Yubo had given him several tasks recently, and he had completed them well and gained a lot.
But these were all solo missions, so I didn’t call Xu Wen.
Through these events, he gradually became familiar with one of Liu Yubo's sons and was introduced to a small group.
Today, this small group held a small gathering outside the city. Each person could bring a companion. Liu Minghe immediately hurried over to call Xu Wen.
Hearing this, Xu Wen couldn't help but feel secretly grateful.
Dharma couple, wealth and land, this is the role of "companion". When there is an opportunity or good things happen, you will be the first one to think of you.
And as long as it is run well, this small team can also become his "companion".
The more friends you have, the wider your path will become, which will eventually turn into a huge motivation for spiritual practice.
Qin Hui has three bad friends. Those who want to eat alone will only become lonely in the end, and eventually disappear from everyone.
After thinking about it, I felt a little confused and whispered as I walked:
"Why don't you have a gathering in the city instead of going to the shanty towns? Shanty towns are so..."
With a chuckle, Liu Minghe glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and said:
"There are many rules in the city, so outside the city you can say anything and dare to take out anything. Remember, read more and speak less, listen more and remember more..."
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at a compound that was relatively rare in shantytowns. Liu Minghe stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After whispering a few words to the person across the door, the door opened a crack. He turned around and pulled Xu Wen in.
As soon as you enter the door, the ubiquitous rotten and rotten smell of the shanty town disappears instantly, replaced by a faint fragrance.
This house, which looks ordinary from the outside, is also very elegantly decorated inside.
Although it cannot be called luxurious, it is no less than an ordinary store in Qingfeng City, and it is many times better than where Xu Wen lives now.
"Junior Brother Liu, you are here. Is this Junior Brother Xu Wen?"
A slightly fat man with a somewhat similar face to Liu Yubo came over and greeted the two of them with a smile.
Liu Minghe quickly pulled Xu Wen forward to pay his respects. This man was Liu Yubo's third son Liu Hongyuan, and this house belonged to him.
The two arrived earlier and were taken to a hall by Liu Hongyuan to sit down. People came one after another. Liu Mingyuan and Xu Wen came forward to say hello one by one.
After going around, Xu Wen quickly discovered that most of these people were the descendants of the stewards and deacons of the Zhiyuan Sect, and some of them were even able to establish relationships with several foundation-building experts.
Although they all had some backgrounds, none of them were the arrogant and domineering people they imagined. They all exchanged pleasantries with Xu Wen in a friendly manner.
Of course, this may also be related to the cultivation he showed.
Being able to advance to the second level of Qi Refining at this age, even if you are a casual cultivator, will be looked down upon by others.
I also met an acquaintance, Zhang Jiuting, who managed the Shiban Street side. He was now at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
Seeing Xu Wen and Liu Minghe, he was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that these two casual cultivators from Shiban Street could reach this level now.
Nod and smile, forget the grudges, and forget about the past.
"I recently ran into some kids from Liuyun Valley. They were sneaky and I didn't know what they were doing."
"I heard that the Sect is planning to relax the requirements for accepting disciples!"
"Da Chilin and the Tiantai Sect seem to be on fire!"
…
There was no fixed program at the beginning, and everyone started chatting about all kinds of strange things.
To them, they may just be careless words and treat them as gossip, but to Xu Wen and Liu Minghe, these few words often contain a lot of information.
After seeing almost everyone, Liu Hongyuan walked to the center of the hall, waited until all eyes were focused on him, and then said with a smile:
"Okay, everyone is here, and there are many new friends. First of all, I want to thank you all for coming!"
"Old rules, there is a trade fair below, the same rules, no matter what you see, you must forget it when you leave this door."
"Otherwise, you will not regard me, Liu Hongyuan, as a friend!"
With a few simple words, everyone agreed with a smile.
Then, Liu Hongyuan took out the eight statues first and whispered:
"My little brother is trying to make a fool of himself. He wants to exchange these eight statues for a fire-attribute magic weapon!"
"Everyone knows that a senior from the Southern Demon Sect came to our place a while ago, and this thing has something to do with him."
These people were all well-informed people. As soon as they heard this, they immediately stood up to check.
Seeing these statues, Xu Wen was secretly surprised.
These eight true dragon statues are very similar to the four of Yu Liuli. Their sword skills and charm are exactly the same. You can tell at a glance that they were made by the same person.
Those who study the Demonic Cultivation Technique should each have several statues like this.
Those who have not left with any of the seniors are still staying in Qingfeng City, and most of these statues belong to them.
But now, these statues appear here, and the situation of those people is probably not very good.
This Liu Hongyuan is really brave!
Xu Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Although the senior has left and doesn't care about these candidate disciples, after all, they are masters of Jindan and even Nascent Soul. Who knows what they are thinking in their hearts?
Liu Tingyun dared to try to seize these things, regardless of coercion or inducement, he was extremely brave.
Xu Wen would never touch this kind of thing. He just watched from the sidelines as the eight statues were finally replaced by a woman.
The opening was like this, and everyone's emotions were immediately aroused. A very handsome young man jumped up, landed on the field, took out a few pale white beads from his arms and said:
"I killed a few ghost cultivators a while ago and got these soul-attracting beads. I want to exchange them for some spiritual talismans to defend against the attacks of divine souls. The magic weapons are of course better. I can replenish the spiritual stones!"
…
The transaction will continue, and the things that appear will become more and more complicated, including even mortal essence and blood.
According to the person who took out the blood essence, he killed several evil cultivators to get it, but who knows.
This blood essence also caused a round of bidding climax, and was finally bought by Liu Hongyuan. Judging from their appearance, no one cared about the source of the blood essence at all.
Xu Wen finally knew why they held the exchange meeting outside the city.
Qingfeng City strictly prohibits the killing of mortals and the trading of mortal blood. Once discovered, it will be destroyed directly regardless of the source.
Not long after, a tall woman with a rather heroic appearance slowly walked into the field.
