Zhao Ning responded with a faint smile and asked again when she came to the door, "I see that there are restrictions everywhere in the store, avoiding fire and water, how can there be a fire?"
The boy surnamed Zhong was slightly stunned, "This is when the elixir boy in the shop suddenly placed a top-quality fire elixir on the counter, and the power of the fire elixir was leaked, and a fire broke out instantly."
But saying this, Zhao Ning was even more puzzled, "The fire spirit pill has soft spiritual power, so how could it suddenly catch fire?"
"I don't know. This top-quality fire elixir was accidentally obtained by an expert in the workshop from Guiyuan City. He wanted to bring it back to the alchemist in the workshop for study, but it happened that the top-quality elixir alchemist wandered nearby. I already had the best elixir to help me sell it, so I gave the fire elixir to Dantong and put it in the best elixir cabinet for sale together. The result... alas..."
As a result, it caught fire as soon as I put it in. This situation is impossible. Even an outsider in alchemy like Zhao Ning knows that the process of alchemy is also a process of restraining and neutralizing the medicinal properties and spiritual energy. Even if some medicinal properties dissipate after the elixir is completed, it is very small and very slight. It is impossible for a sudden spiritual energy explosion to occur, or even cause a fire.
Either it was caused by external forces, or the elixirs were spiritually repelling each other.
After thinking like this, I heard the boy surnamed Zhong explain, "The medicine boy accidentally touched the ban."
Zhao Ning changed her mind and said with a smile, "I think there are some shortcomings in the cultivation of elixirs. Can I get three more top quality Qi Gathering elixirs?"
The boy surnamed Zhong was startled, then smiled quickly and turned around to invite me back, "Of course, I'll invite you in the store."
So Zhao Ning went into the palace again and bought three more top quality Qi Gathering Pills while the two of them were smiling.
After going back and forth like this, they walked out again. This time, the waiter and waiter surnamed Zhong followed Zhao Ning to see him off, saying a lot of kind words and flattery.
Walking to the door, a person suddenly came in. Zhao Ning stopped. This person was not tall. He was wearing a black gold-rimmed cloak with a hood covering his entire face.
Dressing up like this is said to be deceptive, but in the daytime it is an eye-catcher when walking.
But the two people from Qiandanfang were not surprised at all. Instead, they were overjoyed. The waiter even went up to greet them.
"Master Hei, why are you here at this time? But there are new pills to sell. Please come in quickly."
"Yeah." A husky voice that sounded like a man or a woman came from under the hood.
He passed by Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning smelled a faint fragrance.
Zhao Ning came back to her senses and saw that the young man named Zhong was also looking over there impatiently, but Zhao Ning was not around.
Zhao Ning smiled slightly, "Your Excellency, please send it here."
After saying that, he walked out of the door. After walking a few steps, he turned back and took a look inside, making some guesses about the identity of this mysterious man.
Chapter 095
In less than a stick of incense, the mysterious man in black robes left Qiandanfang under the enthusiastic flattery of several waiters. With his hood lowered, he turned and entered a less crowded alley.
A young man with an ordinary face walked leisurely into the alley. Coincidentally, he was in the same direction as the mysterious man in black robe. He was always a corner away from the mysterious man in black robe. The young man's footsteps and breath were extremely strange. It's so slight that it can't be noticed unless you notice it deliberately.
Until they turned into the fourth alley, the mysterious man in black robe turned his back to the corner, lifted his hood, and revealed that he was a female nun with long black hair and a golden hairpin tied in a bun.
But for some reason, the mysterious female cultivator leaned back slightly, her ears moved slightly, as if she noticed something, and a spell disappeared in place.
And the young man who happened to be walking along the road was holding a hat and stretching his back as he passed by the alley. Without even glancing at the dead end alley, he looked like he was still sleeping and pushed open the gate of a courtyard three feet away. There was a sound of "Why are you back?" and the wooden door creaked shut.
The figure that disappeared in the dead alley reappeared quietly.
Under the black cloak, she wore a fairy skirt with colorful clouds. She had beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a pretty nose and red lips. She was also one of the most beautiful women in the world of cultivation. She frowned and glanced in the direction of the yard at the entrance of the alley, and suddenly pinched a spell. Suddenly, there was a faint flash of light in her eyes. Through the unrestricted courtyard wall, she saw a young woman holding a child and following behind the young man step by step.
The young woman was worried, "Are those villains from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance bullying you again? Aren't they also mortals? They think that following an immortal master with cultivation level means they are superior to others..."
The Mingyan woman didn't pay attention to the rest of her complaints. She withdrew the spell, lowered her guard, and then changed directions.
In the small courtyard, the young woman looked at her husband, who had not spoken for a while, and suddenly felt fear. She hugged the child tightly in her arms, "No, you are not Cheng Lang, who are you!"
As soon as the young man turned around, his figure instantly transformed into Zhao Ning wearing a cloud silk cloak.
The young woman took several steps back without shouting, and knelt down in a panic.
"This... this immortal master, no... fairy, I'm sorry for... I... I didn't mean to offend. I'm following orders. Please don't hurt my child."
Zhao Ning withdrew his attention from outside the hospital. Although he did not have the consciousness to know the situation outside at a glance, his perception told Zhao Ning that the coldness of his intense stare had disappeared.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the trembling young woman. She seemed to be only as big as Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning understood her fear and did not cast any spells. He walked up to her and stretched out his hand to her, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry. A stopgap measure.”
The young woman was a little at a loss. In her mind, the attitude of the immortal masters towards their mortals should not be so gentle. It was not until Zhao Ning put his hand in front of her again that she confirmed that the fairy in front of her was not Not like outside.
She reached out hesitantly, and was pulled up by Zhao Ning, who smiled awkwardly.
"Ling Le understands and will not expose you."
Zhao Ning glanced at her and said, "Are you often bullied?" There were many mortals in Guiyuan City. Although their status was low, they would not be devalued and enslaved by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance at will.
"Ah, no." The young woman shook her head, "We want to get some practice skills for our children. It's rare to be able to join the casual practice alliance, so it doesn't matter if you get bullied."
It seems that two mortal couples finally gave birth to a child with an immortal connection. Children born in the world of cultivation, whether they are mortal children or those of cultivators, can be detected by their family, sect or independent cultivator alliance at birth, unless they are born. Their ancestors had an immortal connection, and the chance of two mortals giving birth to a child with an immortal connection was very slim. It was no wonder that the child was planning for him at such a young age.
Poor parents.
"Ling Le." Zhao Ning suddenly shouted.
The young woman subconsciously raised her head, but her eyes suddenly met a pair of deep eyes. There seemed to be an abyss deep in those eyes, and there seemed to be many whirlpools under the abyss.
She froze in place, her eyes unblinking.
Zhao Ning lowered her eyes and focused on the sleeping child in the woman's arms. The child's spiritual aperture was dim, his aura was shallow, and his immortality was not strong.
He raised his hand slightly, and a flash of light penetrated into the depths of the child's memory. It was the basic exercise formula.
In fact, these basic skills or low-level skills can be bought in the market, but they can only be purchased with spirit stones, which can be as low as one or two hundred or as high as several thousand. For ordinary people living in the world of cultivation, they are lucky enough to save a few. It can be exchanged for ten years of spiritual stones, but how many decades does a mortal have?
Zhao Ning's figure flashed out of the small courtyard.
The young woman was dazed in the courtyard for a moment and then suddenly woke up. She rocked and coaxed the child out of habit, and looked around the courtyard with confused eyes. What was she doing standing in the courtyard just now? Why couldn't she remember for a moment? .
Zhao Ning hid on the roof for a cup of tea, made sure no one was there and then returned, then silently blended into the crowd on the main street.
She exchanged several newly refined first-level spiritual weapons for eight hundred spirit stones at the Spiritual Artifact Pavilion on East Street, and then prepared to rest in an inn.
Walking among the crowd, Zhao Ning's thoughts were spinning rapidly. If her guess was correct, this black-robed female cultivator was the consignor of the top-grade elixir. Then where did her top-grade elixir come from? It was from Guiyuan City. Buy it and sell it in Jinxiu City to make a profit, or is he the maker of the best elixir?
The person who is closely related to the word "top quality" is Jia Rui, and the person behind the sales of top quality talisman production methods on the black market in Guiyuan City.
Zhao Ning paused for a moment, and the pill bottle containing the best Qi Gathering Pill was turned around in the palm of his hand. Two people, using the same method, were still enemies. Zhao Ning's steps suddenly became a little easier.
He looked up and saw an inn not far away, so he walked in and was immediately greeted by the waiter.
"This immortal master, do you want to be a professional or stay in a hotel?"
"One upper room."
"Okay. This way, please."
The waiter led Zhao Ning upstairs.
The first floor was full of qi-training monks having a meal, and the conversation was buzzing with people. The topics of conversation were nothing more than the Golden Elixir Ceremony a while ago, or the gossip of Luoxia Sect and Yuhua Sect.
"I heard that there are many female cultivators attending the Golden Elixir Ceremony. Could it be that they want to meet Master Yunwei..."
The rest of the words are hidden, but the expressions and teasing sounds are understood by everyone who listens to the gossip.
So someone was counting the names of the famous fairies who came to congratulate them. They counted seven or eight fairies without stopping. Someone next to them said enviously, "It seems that Master Yunwei is less than half a hundred, and it is a top-grade golden elixir. This is the whole Jiuzhou." You are a genius, no matter which sect master or elder comes from your big sect, you must be a bit polite, and if you hurt them, the ancestor who is carefully hidden somewhere will come out and teach you a lesson personally."
This was the first time that Zhao Ning heard about the treatment of high-grade golden elixirs. She glanced at the gossip crowd from the steps, but that person did not say anything more. Instead, several well-known female cultivators finished their words, "... and Fairy Yanran from the Purple Flame Sect also came in person."
I don’t know what the name is. The gossip crowd was quiet for a moment, and then became noisy again.
"Hey, Fairy Yanran, I almost thought she was Fairy Biyue. Fairy Biyue of Ziyan Sect was the most beautiful woman in Kyushu a thousand years ago, but it's a pity that she was so beautiful."
"I heard that Fairy Yanran is a descendant of Fairy Covering Moon's clan. I wonder if she is even as beautiful as Fairy Covering Moon."
After all the gossip was exchanged, someone said irritably, "So what if the fairies from the Yanzhou Cultivation World are beautiful? There are so many beautiful fairies from our Kunxu Cultivation World, not to mention the beloved disciples of Master Yun Wei. Even the fairies in our store are as beautiful as heavenly beings.”
Immediately, the female nuns on the first floor who were annoyed with the group of male nuns commenting on their appearance suddenly became happy and praised him for his ability to speak.
The speaker chuckled and said, "It's not that the fairy on the other side of the window is particularly beautiful. Hey, do you know which fairy that is?"
Zhao Ning followed the waiter to the third floor. The gossip on the first floor had long been of little value. But after a while, there was a sudden noise, with some teasing and others apologizing.
"This fairy, Xiaosheng...hey, fairy, don't leave..."
Hearing footsteps coming up from downstairs angrily, Zhao Ning turned around and saw a bright and beautiful woman with picturesque features. The woman walked past Zhao Ning with a cold face.
Seeing the waiter, the woman paused and said coldly, "Does your inn just let them harass the guests?"
The waiter felt aggrieved, but hurriedly explained, "This fairy is really sorry. It was because the spirit wine in the shop was a bit intoxicating. Don't blame me."
The woman is not an unreasonable person, and she also knows that this has nothing to do with the waiter. She just vented her anger, glared at the waiter, and went to her room.
The waiter touched his head, feeling depressed and helpless, and cupped his hands towards Zhao Ning, "Fairy, please come this way."
Xu was afraid that Zhao Ning would also misunderstand, so he explained, "A while ago during the Golden Elixir Ceremony, there were many outside cultivators staying in the inn. They liked strong liquor, so the shopkeeper brewed more. Now, when the strong liquor is diluted to make a small wine, there is still some It's intoxicating, which makes some guests talk nonsense, but the fairy doesn't mind."
Zhao Ning didn't answer. In fact, her eyes fell on the woman's back, specifically the golden hairpin on her head.
Could it be that by some mistake, we met that mysterious man in black robe again?
However, this woman did not recognize herself. Maybe Qiandanfang glanced at her in a hurry, but she didn't take it to heart.
"Fairy? Fairy?" The waiter shouted twice.
Zhao Ning withdrew her gaze, said "no problem" with a slight smile, and pointed to the room next to the woman.
"Is there anyone living in that room?"
"No one."
"Then I'll stay in that room."
"okay."
The waiter helped Zhao Ning open the room, said a few words and then left. Zhao Ning closed the door and paid a little attention to the next door.
The Jinxiu Town Inn is not as rich and powerful as Guiyuan City. Each room has an independent ban. There are five rooms in one ban. Zhao Ning's room and the next door are in the same ban. Zhao Ning can clearly hear the complaints from the next door. Voice.
"Kunxu Cultivation World is just... huh, a bunch of rude bastards..."
Zhao Ning sat on the couch and meditated. After practicing to the sixth level of Qi training, he had very little need for spiritual food and sleep. Breaking through the sixth level of Qi training and entering the high realm of Qi training, he could directly go without food. Unless there were special circumstances, he no longer needed spiritual food and sleep. Food and sleep restore energy and spirit.
However, many monks in the Qi refining stage have decades of habits that cannot be changed. Therefore, most of the monks at the higher levels of Qi refining still eat spiritual food and sleep until they enter the foundation building stage and gradually achieve complete non-elimination.
Cultivation is like time. Night falls in a blink of an eye and the town becomes quiet. If you deliberately listen, you can still hear the long breathing of a sleeping person in a nearby room.
Until the middle of the night, suddenly, a hint of strange fragrance came from the crack in the door.
Zhao Ning opened her eyes suddenly. She quickly took out a piece of Qingxincao from the House of Silent Spirit and swallowed it whole. Only then did she get rid of the strange feeling of powerlessness caused by the strange fragrance.
