After some testing and observation, Ye Hong discovered that City Lord Deng really didn’t know about the Dark Spiritual Root, and he finally felt free to tell City Lord Deng about Miaomiao to see if he could help Miaomiao practice in the future.
Just as Ye Hong was thinking, City Lord Deng suddenly asked,
"When you said that, I almost forgot about the real thing. Yesterday I found out that Miaomiao has some cultivation, but I still don't know what level of strength she has now. I'm ashamed to say that it's rare that I can't sense other people's cultivation."
"Uncle Deng, Miaomiao is now at the fourth level of Qi Condensation Realm."
"They are all at the fourth level of Qi Condensation Realm! I believe Miaomiao's spiritual roots must be of a very high level."
"This...Uncle Deng, I really don't know the level of Miao Miao's spiritual roots."
"It's okay. I happen to have a test stone here. I'll test it again for Miaomiao so that I can choose the right technique for Miaomiao in the future."
After speaking, City Master Deng took out a palm-sized black stone from his storage bag and handed it to Miaomiao. Miaomiao looked at the stone in front of her hesitantly. Miaomiao turned to look at Ye Hong inquiringly. Ye Hong looked at Miaomiao. Miao Miao nodded, and then Miao Miao stepped forward to be tested by the test stone.
"Hey~ You, as an elder brother, can do it better than me, as a father."
After hearing this, Ye Hong hurriedly said, "Uncle Deng, don't mind. After all, Miaomiao has lived with me for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will be a little dependent on me. And uncle Deng, don't be surprised. Miaomiao's spiritual roots are a bit special. I think Uncle Deng can keep this secret for Miaomiao."
City Lord Deng was puzzled after hearing Ye Hong's words, but he still nodded in agreement, "Special? Don't worry, Miaomiao is my goddaughter, and I will definitely keep her secret secret."
"Miaomiao, just hold the test stone, and I will activate the test stone for you."
Miaomiao took the test stone. City Master Deng recited a mantra and then touched it a little on the stone. The black color of the test stone turned into ink color, which was a bit darker than the last time Ye Hong saw it.
"Hey! What's going on? There is no spiritual root attribute!" City Lord Deng looked at the test stone in confusion.
"Uncle Deng, look carefully to see if the test stone is darker than the original black color just now."
Only then did City Lord Deng realize that it was indeed as Ye Hong said. He was accustomed to thinking that the test stone would glow, so he didn't notice the color of the test stone itself.
"What's going on? What kind of spiritual root is this? This... this can't be the dark spiritual root you just mentioned!" City Lord Deng looked at the test stone and thought, suddenly thinking of Ye Hong's question just now, he was shocked said.
"Uncle Deng, you guessed it right. This is the dark spiritual root I was talking about. Please keep it secret, Uncle Deng. I think this matter involves a lot."
City Lord Deng asked, "How do you say this? What evidence do you have?"
Ye Hong pointed at Miaomiao's bracelet, "Uncle Deng should know about Miaomiao's item that can change its shape."
City Lord Deng nodded.
"To tell you the truth, that item that can change its form is called the Shadow Sword. It was given to Miaomiao by an old man who looked like a beggar. She also said that she would ask Miaomiao to do him a favor in the future."
"What's the deal?"
Ye Hong said helplessly, "He disappeared without saying anything."
"That's why I said that the matter of Dark Spirit Root may be very involved. Even Uncle Deng doesn't know about Dark Spirit Root, which means it must be beyond the scope of your knowledge."
City Lord Deng pondered for a moment and said, "Listening to what you said, it may indeed be involved in something big. I will also pay attention to this news in the future. But what will happen to Miaomiao's future cultivation? I don't have a secret spirit here. It’s a root attribute technique!”
"Uncle Deng, don't worry. I have roughly discovered the characteristics of some dark spiritual roots, and I also know which ones should be practiced."
Ye Hong then informed City Lord Deng of some of the characteristics of the Dark Spirit Root and the techniques that could be practiced.
"What are you talking about! Miaomiao's current cultivation method is only a low-level yellow-level one, and she has cultivated to the fourth level of Qi Condensation Realm!"
"Um...Uncle Deng, you also know that it is difficult to find practice methods without attribute restrictions. I am doing my best."
"Okay! I have some better techniques here. Let Miaomiao practice again."
After speaking, City Lord Deng took out several local-level cultivation methods, and even some heaven-level cultivation methods. Ye Hong's eyes widened.
"Uncle Deng, let me discuss something with you! Lend me these cultivation methods, and I will study them to see if I can find a way for me to practice them."
City Lord Deng thought for a while and said, "Yes, but you can't let others know and return it after reading it. The value of these mental cultivation methods is immeasurable. If someone discovers that you have them, it will inevitably lead to death.
remember! Do not leave the City Lord's Mansion even half a step before returning. This is also for your safety. "
Ye Hong quickly nodded in agreement.
Miaomiao selected a heaven-level low-grade cultivation method "Nihuan Tianxin Jue" for practice, and Ye Hong also began to study these cultivation methods.
But no matter how he tried, after a month, he still couldn't practice. In the end, Ye Hong had no choice but to return these cultivation techniques to City Lord Deng.
Miaomiao had re-cultivated herself to the third level of Qi Condensation Realm in this month. When Ye Hong found out, he felt extremely ashamed. It was indeed a heaven-level skill. He had really brought Miaomiao to waste before. He was so blind in vain. Good talent.
It's been a month since Ye Hong came to Tianjian City and he hasn't been to the city yet, so today Ye Hong plans to go to the city with Miaomiao for a walk.
"Who is that! Xiaoqing, take us to the prosperous places in Tianjian City."
"Master, my name is Xiaoqing."
"Oh! Xiaoqing, take us out for a walk. Is there anything interesting in Tianjian City?"
"Master, there is a lot of fun, I will take you and the lady to go shopping!"
After Ye Hong and Miaomiao spoke to City Lord Deng, they left the City Lord's Mansion and wandered around Tianjian City. Tianjian City was more than three or four times larger than Earth Sea City. The things on the streets were all kinds of strange and varied, which dazzled Ye Hong and Miaomiao.
"Brother Ye Hong! This jewelry is so beautiful."
"purchase!"
"Brother Ye Hong! That one looks delicious."
"purchase!"
"Brother Ye Hong! Look how cute the puppy is!"
"purchase!"
······
"Miss! We have bought enough things, we can't take any more!"
I saw the maid at the back holding a puppy in one hand, a kitten in the other, and eating candied haws in her mouth. The other maid also had her hands full of food. Miaomiao had already packed some of the things into the Shadow Sword.
Ye Hong looked at the two maids looking a little pitiful and said,
"Miaomiao, that's all. Don't buy any more. Look, they're both tired."
Miaomiao looked at the two people behind her and felt a little embarrassed. She helped collect some things and put them into the Shadow Sword, which made the two maids feel much more relaxed.
It was almost noon, and Ye Hong originally wanted to ask Miaomiao if she wanted to go for dinner! But seeing Miaomiao's hands full of food, she immediately gave up the idea.
"Brother Ye Hong! Look at how many people are gathered around you."
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Ye Hong and others came to the crowd and saw a stall owner arguing with a fat man in gorgeous clothes. Ye Hong couldn't help but curiously asked the person next to him, who replied,
"The stall owner was an honest man and ran a small business. I didn't expect that the fat man wouldn't give me money after buying the things. He would leave after taking the things. How could the stall owner be willing, so the two started arguing."
Ye Hong added, "I see that fat man is well-dressed, doesn't he look like someone with no money?"
"Who knows, maybe it's these rich people who like to bully people."
Another person next to him said, "Don't you know this? The fat man's name is Wu Fugui, and he is Master Wu's son. It is common for him to buy things without giving him money.
Many stall owners know him and hide away when they see him, for fear of offending him. Who knows that this stall owner who is new to Tianjian City does not know this person, so he can only consider himself unlucky! "
"Master Wu? Are you talking about the master in charge of tax collection in the city? No wonder I think this fat man looks familiar!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you."
At this time, several law enforcement officers from Tianjian City came over and scolded the crowd,
"Go away! Go away quickly! What are you looking at!"
"What's going on here?"
When the stall owner saw the law enforcement officers from Tianjian City arriving, he hurriedly went up to ask for help, "Masters of law enforcement, you have to make the decision for me! He won't give you money after taking the things!"
When the fat man saw the law enforcement officers coming, he just glanced at a few people, and then yelled at the stall owner,
"Who are you saying won't give me money? It's you who won't give me money, okay? I'll sell you such a bunch of things, and I'm kind enough to only take one thing as reward, but you're still not satisfied and want me to give them all away for free. you.
Now I regret it. I won’t sell the entire stall to you. If you want it, just pay me double the price. "
"Masters of law enforcement! It's not what he said. This stall is mine. Look at this proof. It has the seal of approval from the City Lord's Palace!"
Several law enforcement officers took a look at the certificate, took one look at it, tore the paper off, and said, "This certificate of yours is fake. There is no other certificate to prove that this stall and stall are yours, so just leave! Don't come here." This is so nonsense!"
When the stall owner saw that the law enforcement officers did not help him at all and even tore up the certificate, he cried and screamed and hugged his stall and refused to let go.
The law enforcement officers had no choice but to escort the people away, and then expelled them to the crowd, "It's gone! It's gone! It's all gone! There's nothing to see!"
Ye Hong also took Miaomiao and the two maids away from each other, and continued to watch the situation here from a distance. When the law enforcement officer saw the crowd dispersed, he nodded and bowed to the fat man in front of the stall and said, "Mr. Wu, are you satisfied with this?"
"Well~ You did a good job, you can take this stall away! I still want to go shopping." The fat man said, taking a few more items from the stall, whistling and walking away.
"Captain, I think that proves to be true. Why do we say it's false and still help Mr. Wu?"
The law enforcement captain glanced at the colleague next to him, "Seeing as you are new here, you are not a bad guy on weekdays. Let me tell you, we cannot offend Mr. Wu. His father is Mr. Wu from taxation.
If you offend him, your family will never have an easy time in Tianjian City in the future. And since we helped Mr. Wu, everything on these stalls belongs to us, and we can also make a lot of extra money, so you understand! "
"Oh~ I understand, thank you captain for your teaching! It's just a small thing, and it's disrespectful to be filial to you."
The law enforcement captain quietly accepted the money bag and praised, "You are still a sensible boy!"
