At the same time that City Lord Bai Zhengqi and others were going to Haoran Sect.
In the DC area of Xuancheng in the Ming Dynasty, outside an unknown fish restaurant.
Jian Xihai looked around and saw that there was no suspicious person spying on him, so he hurriedly entered the fish restaurant.
As soon as I entered the fish restaurant, a rotten and fishy smell hit my nostrils.
Jian Xihai frowned, endured the discomfort and said, "Old Song, you must have felt it just now, right?"
"Um."
In the corner of the fish restaurant.
The fishmonger whom Jian Xihai called 'Old Song' responded: "The powerful aura that suddenly appeared just now is definitely the projection of someone secretly trying to summon 'that lord' in Mingxuan City."
"However, the aura only appeared for a moment and then disappeared immediately. In addition, the people from the Demon Sect did not notify me in advance."
Fishmonger Lao Song continued: "So I speculate that the person who tried to summon 'that' projection should not be a member of our demon sect, but just a casual cultivator who accidentally obtained the summoning method by accident. .”
"That's amazing too."
Jian Xihai said excitedly: "You must know that not everyone is qualified to summon the projection of 'that lord'."
"Only the Holy Son chosen by 'That Lord' is qualified to summon and let the projection of 'That Lord' come."
Jian Xihai sighed: "It's been so many years. I, the Demon Sect, have tried so hard and spent so much money to find the Holy Son, but I didn't expect that the Holy Son would appear in Mingxuan City so easily."
"Let's hurry up and report this matter to the superiors. Maybe the superiors will be happy and agree to transplant the 'advanced spiritual roots' for us."
"Hey, that's the truth." When he heard the words 'advanced spiritual root', the fishmonger Lao Song suddenly became excited.
"If we can transplant the 'Advanced Spiritual Root', we might both be able to break through to the foundation building stage, and we won't have to stay here in Mingxuan City every day to gather information, and live like sewer rats."
"Indeed." After the two of them chatted, Jian Xihai became obviously impatient: "Then let's quickly set up the formation and spread the news as soon as possible, so that others don't get ahead of us!"
…
The Ju Peng Pavilion Restaurant in Xuancheng of the Ming Dynasty was built on the shore of Chengnan Lake.
It just so happens that it is the Dragon Boat Festival again, and it happens to be the time when the lotus blooms, so looking around, the entire city south of the lake is a rare scene.
After Chengshuo and his party entered Jupeng Pavilion, they directly chose a seat by the window in the lobby on the first floor.
Everyone was enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window and changing glasses according to the drinking order. They were so happy.
As a monk in the transformation stage, Cheng Sheng has no shortage of gold.
He would ask the waiter to serve any dish that had some reputation in Ju Peng Pavilion. Even the wine he drank was brewed with Chengnan Lake lotus leaves, which had the best texture and taste.
Fu Ruoyun and others who are traveling with Chengshuo are all young at heart.
In addition, there was Cheng Sheng's deliberate guidance during the banquet, so after only a few glasses of wine, everyone could not help but talk too much.
During the conversation, Chengshuo took the opportunity to collect some information about Mingxuan City and its surrounding areas:
Including the Blood Tiger Gang where he lived, and the Haisha Gang to which Chi Yao belonged, there were seven gangs formed by mortal warriors in Mingxuan City.
Called the 'Seven Gangs'.
The leaders of the seven major gangs all have the realm of innate warriors, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect 'Haoran Sect'.
As for why the seven major gangs do not practice immortal martial arts instead of practicing martial arts in the secular world, Manxin's master Xue Haomiao has mentioned this to Manxin more than once: If a mortal wants to step into the immortal world, he must To practice immortality, you must have 'spiritual roots'.
Only those with "spiritual roots" can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use.
But what is different from the "spiritual roots" in the cognition of survival is that the so-called "spiritual roots" on Bai Qiuxing are not what the practitioners are born with, but are acquired by the cultivators through some special means.
As for the specific method of obtaining it.
Including the leaders of the seven major gangs, as well as the cruel master Xue Haomiao and others, these warriors who seem to be superior to mortals are actually not qualified to know, let alone obtain spiritual roots and step into the immortal path.
Those on Bai Qiuxing who are truly qualified to cultivate immortality are the descendants of those monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage, or their family members.
Therefore, although the mortals on Bai Qiuxing live and work in peace and contentment and their lives are relatively prosperous, there is always an insurmountable gap between them and the monks.
The immortal status of cultivators is hereditary and passed down from generation to generation, while mortals can only be mortals forever.
…
The second floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
In the private room, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang lowered his head and respectfully served the top-grade 'Linghua Tea' on the plate.
Seeing Zuo Qiu Jing'er, an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect, holding the 'Linghua Tea' in her hand, taking a sip and nodding slightly, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He spoke at the right time and said: "Drinking this 'Spiritual Flower Tea' can slightly improve a practitioner's cultivation. If the Immortal likes it, I will ask my subordinates to send more later."
Zuoqiu Jing'er didn't answer, just sipping the spiritual tea in her hand.
After a while, she suddenly frowned and said, "What's the noise downstairs? Why is it so noisy?"
It’s broken, I forgot to clear the place.
Seeing Zuoqiu Jing'er's dissatisfaction, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang was immediately shocked and hurriedly winked at the gang around him.
The latter understood what he meant and immediately left the private room and came to the lobby on the first floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
in the hall.
Seeing that Cheng Sheng and others gathered in front of the wine table and talking loudly, all of whom had acquired advanced martial arts training, the Sea Whale Gang members put on smiles.
"Guys," the gang members said politely to Chenghuo and the others, cupping their fists and saying, "The noise you made downstairs just now was a little too loud."
"Are you from the Sea Whale Gang?" Fu Ruoyun recognized the identity of the person speaking at a glance through the clothes he wore.
However, this time the wine was served as Chenghuo's treat, and Fu Ruoyun didn't want to overshadow the guest, so he turned to look at Chenghuo again.
Not only Fu Ruoyun, but also the other friends at the wine table were all looking towards Cheng Sheng at this moment.
Chengshuo didn't want to worry about such a trivial matter, so he smiled back at the sea whale gang member and said, "Sorry, let's speak as quietly as possible. That's okay."
"A few of you." The Sea Whale Gang reorganized their words: "What I just meant is, can you please leave this restaurant?"
In order to avoid conflicts, while the gang members were talking, they also pointed to the top of their heads and added: "The man upstairs is a monk from the Haoran Sect."
"He's actually from the Haoran Sect?!"
As soon as he heard the words 'Haoran Sect', Fu Ruoyun, who was originally a little careless, immediately became serious.
Since Chengsheng had only been a disciple of the miracle doctor Xue Haomiao for less than three months and had limited knowledge and experience, Fu Ruoyun reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Man, the Sea Whale Clan is nothing, but The monks of the Haoran Sect are not someone we can offend."
"A monk from the Haoran Sect?"
What everyone didn't expect was that when they heard the word "monk", not only did they not show the slightest fear, but they showed an expression of interest.
He looked at the members of the Sea Whale Gang who took the initiative to talk to him, and said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "Well, just let the monk come down to see me and say that I have something to ask him."
"Huh?" The members of the Sea Whale Gang were stunned by Chengshuo's words, and felt that there was something wrong with Chengshuo's brain.
At the same time, he felt a little funny:
What is your identity, and what is the identity of a monk from the Haoran Sect?
Are you worthy of letting the other person take the initiative to come downstairs to see you?
In the restaurant lobby.
The members of the Sea Whale Gang were organizing their words, intending to say something to reply to Cheng Huo, but when they saw Cheng Huo continued: "Forget it. If I say this, the monk will definitely not be willing to come down, so I'd better call him in person. .”
After saying this, he released his spiritual consciousness and quickly locked onto Zuoqiu Jing'er, who was sitting in the private room on the second floor, sipping the 'Linghua Tea'.
Chengshuo said softly: "Junior, come down to the first floor. I have a few questions to ask you."
——The reason why Cheng Sheng had not discovered Zuo Qiu Jing'er on the second floor before was not because of anything else but because Zuo Qiu Jing'er's strength was too low.
This person is only in the middle stage of Qi training.
In the eyes of mortals and warriors, monks in the middle stage of Qi training may be unattainable and unfathomable in strength.
But in the eyes of Cheng Huo, there is actually not much difference between monks and mortals in the middle stage of Qi training.
To him, both of them can only be regarded as ants, but the monk in the middle stage of Qi training is the slightly larger one among the ants.
That's all.
That's why Chengsheng never noticed Zuoqiu Jing'er's existence.
…
In the private room on the second floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
The moment she heard the sound of survival, Zuo Qiu Jing'er, an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect, couldn't help but tremble, and the spiritual tea she was holding in her hand fell to the ground.
Seeing Zuoqiu Jing'er suddenly acting so panicked, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang on the side couldn't help but said: "Shangxian, are you okay?"
Zuoqiu Jing'er ignored the hall master and just glanced left and right.
Then she glanced nervously out of the window and out the door.
Seeing that there was no one else outside the window or door, he said nervously: "Didn't you hear just now? A senior was talking."
"Senior?" The leader of the Sea Whale Gang also looked around with a puzzled expression on his face: "Is there any senior talking? I didn't hear any sound just now."
"Oh, there's no need to look for it." Seeing Zuoqiu Jing'er acting so nervous, Chengshuo urged with a smile: "Didn't I just tell you it was downstairs? What are you looking for out of the window? Hurry downstairs, I am. I have a question for you, so don’t keep me waiting too long.”
This person is not simple.
Zuoqiu Jing'er was only in the middle stage of Qi training, so she couldn't tell what level of cultivation she had to make the sound at this moment.
But she knew one thing very clearly: even her master with the foundation-building level of cultivation would have difficulty in transmitting sound to a person's ears without leaving any trace.
Therefore, the other party, at least, has a cultivation level above the foundation building stage.
Maybe he is a monk at the Golden Core stage, or even an old monster at the Nascent Soul stage.
Thinking of this, Zuoqiu Jing'er's attitude immediately became respectful.
She knelt down on one knee and bowed to the void with an almost flattering attitude: "Senior, please wait a moment. I will go down and see you now!"
With that said, even if he didn't do what he thought, he just walked out of the private room in a hurry.
"Shangxian!" Seeing Zuoqiu Jing'er walking out with a solemn expression, the leader of the Sea Whale Gang followed closely behind.
at the same time.
In the lobby on the first floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
"Brother Man, what are you talking to yourself?" Seeing that Chengshuo kept mumbling in a low voice, and his whole body looked like crazy, Fu Ruoyun couldn't help but said: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Chengshuo waved his hand and didn't explain much. He just looked towards the stairs leading to the second floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
Following Chengsheng's gaze, the Sea Whale Gangster and the rest of the people present also moved their gazes to the stairs.
A few seconds later, a woman wearing a green palace dress slowly walked down the stairs.
When the Sea Whale Gang saw him, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted him with fists in their hands, and sang, "I've seen Master Zuoqiu, the Supreme Immortal of the Haoran Sect!"
If they meet in private, there is no need for the Sea Whale Gang member to reveal Zuoqiu Jing'er's identity.
The reason why I sang it at this moment was mainly to remind Cheng Sheng and others on the side.
This is the vision of a subordinate of the Sea Whale Gang.
in the hall.
Hearing what the Sea Whale Gang said, Fu Ruoyun and others who were traveling with Chengshuo all bowed to Zuoqiu Jing'er without thinking, "I have met Mr. Zuoqiu, the Supreme Immortal of the Haoran Sect!"
The neatness of his voice and movements clearly shows that the high status of monks in this world has long been ingrained in the hearts of mortals and warriors.
After Zuoqiu Jing'er came down the stairs, she ignored everyone paying homage and glanced at the lobby on the first floor of Jupeng Pavilion.
With just one glance, her eyes were fixed on Chengsheng, who was always smiling and sitting calmly.
The reason is also very simple:
When everyone in the hall saw Zuoqiu Jing'er, they all got up to pay homage, but Cheng Sheng turned a blind eye.
In addition, Chengshuo's gestures and gestures were extraordinary, so Zuoqiu Jing'er only made a quick guess and knew that the person she had just spoken to was Chengshuo.
Under the gaze of countless people, Zuo Qiu Jing'er walked straight to Cheng Shuo, knelt down and worshiped: "Zuo Qiu Jing'er, an inner disciple of the Haoran Sect, has met my senior!"
"Ah this."
among the crowd.
Fu Ruoyun looked at Zuoqiu Jing'er, who was kneeling on the ground with an extremely respectful attitude, and then looked at Zuoqiu Jing'er, who was still sitting in her original position and had been extremely calm from beginning to end, and was dumbfounded on the spot.
Other friends such as Chi Yao also showed incredulous expressions.
But seeing Cheng live in the blank stares of everyone, he made a gesture of support to Zuo Qiu Jing'er and smiled: "Get up, just stand. I have a few questions to ask you. I'm satisfied with your answers." , the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you."
Zuoqiu Jing'er was overjoyed when she heard that there was something to be gained. "Senior, if you have any questions, just ask them. I will tell you everything I know."
"Um"
Seeing that the other party was so polite, Chengshuo nodded with satisfaction.
He put his hand on the space gem on his chest, and took out the practice method of the evil spell 'Control the Air', and handed it to the other party: "This is a spell that allows monks in the Qi training period to control the air and fly. You can take it." Come on!"
As we all know, monks during the Qi training period do not have the ability to fly.
Monks in the foundation-building stage can only fly in the air with the help of artifacts. Only when they break through to the golden elixir stage can monks fly in the air without the help of any treasures.
The 'air control' spell in Ke Chengshuo's hand, paradoxically, allows monks in the Qi training stage to fly in the air.
Looking at the technique in Cheng Huo's hand, Zuoqiu Jing'er showed an expression of disbelief, and at the same time she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart:
Who is this senior who appears suddenly and has endless tricks?
