Zhou Yang could not see the situation inside the sect, and what he saw now was only the gate area of Xuanfu Sect. Compared with the Blue Beast Palace, this place is more peaceful and solemn.
Ten black-armored guards stood on both sides in front of the door, their halberds shining brightly in the sunlight, piercing the eyes.
At this time, the main door was wide open, and disciples and other personnel from the sect came and went from time to time. There were also many high-level cultivators riding spiritual beasts, creating a bustling scene.
There are three giant ancient characters "Xuanfu Sect" above the main entrance. People who don't understand ancient characters will really not be able to recognize them.
The first sect he saw was Cang Beast Palace, so he would compare it with any sect he saw, but he used Cang Beast Palace as a reference for the size of the sect.
What is obviously different from the mountain gate of Cangshou Palace is that Xuanfu Sect usually keeps the main gate open and the corner gate closed. Moreover, most of the Xuanfu Sect's cultivators' clothes are black, and their status in the sect can be seen from their clothes.
The black-armored guards use the depth of the black armor to distinguish their positions. Below the chief elder, there are four levels: deacon, captain, senior guard, and ordinary guard. At other halls, ordinary disciples each have one talisman pattern on their clothes and cuffs, elite disciples each have two talismans, captains or stewards each have three talismans, and deacons have four. Senior elders have no talisman marks.
Disciples in some special halls within the sect, such as the Wenfeng Hall and the Darkroom, also do not have the talisman marks. Their tasks are special and it is inconvenient to wear sect uniforms, so there is no requirement.
Zhou Yang watched from a distance and had an outline of the Xuanfu Sect.
This is the place where Linger grew up, and it is her home where she has lived for more than ten years. Now, he has a home that he cannot return to, and he dares not recognize his relatives. He can only wander outside and live under the shelter of others, and his situation is very miserable.
Seeing the sect and thinking of Linger, Zhou Yang felt ripples in his heart.
Long time no see, I really miss her.
The image of that beautiful and lively girl lingered in front of me again, and even appeared in her dreams several times.
Is this missing and love?
Zhou Yang's mood was very complicated.
The last letter made him understand that Ling'er was also thinking about him. Although the language on the paper is euphemistic, it can reveal deep thoughts.
"Ling'er..." An inexplicable tenderness suddenly surged in his heart, a tenderness that could only appear between men and women who love each other. This was the first inexplicable consciousness that came to his mind in more than ten years. Once this awareness arises, it is difficult to erase.
What he wanted to do most at this moment was to see her immediately, even without saying a word.
With his current cultivation level, it would be no problem to go to Wanjian Island alone. The eight hundred miles journey was nothing to him. But Linger needs him to stay in Anping City, needs his information, and needs him to do many things.
If he went to find Ling'er without permission, he might even arouse the suspicion of Wan Jianmen. So now I can only endure it for the time being, and wait until the time is right before I can meet her again.
After he calmed down, two words suddenly appeared in Zhou Yang's mind: "Magic power!"
As soon as these two words came out, the innocent image of Ling'er in his mind instantly changed into the ferocious expression of Sima Sect Master.
He suddenly became excited.
What kind of person is Ling'er's father? Is he really a big devil who practices magic, is bloodthirsty, and kills innocent people?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Zhou Yang shook his head, threw this thought out of his mind, and left the Xuanfu Sect's gate with inexplicable emotions.
There was a lot of information these days, and he had to pass it on to Ling'er quickly. It was also time to contact the people from Wanjianmen.
Nearly two hours later, Zhou Yang appeared in the Xicheng store area and found a store called "Jiange" after wandering around.
In this shop, everything from ordinary fine iron long swords to fine bronze swords to flying swords used by Tian Yuan Mirror are sold. Swords of different shapes and sizes are hung all over the shop, as if you have entered the world of swords.
After Zhou Yang entered the door, a waiter came over and said, "Please come in, this distinguished guest!"
Under the guidance of the clerk, he first looked at many ordinary long swords.
This area is full of fine iron long swords, also called fine steel swords. The main material is fine iron from the Daqingshan mine in Tuyan City. This kind of sword is relatively cheap and is mainly used by Kaiyuan realm cultivators. The disadvantage is that it cannot produce sword light, so most Lingtai cultivators use fine copper long swords.
Further inside is the fine copper sword, and the innermost part is the flying sword area.
The flying sword is relatively smaller than other swords, but it is more refined and spiritual, and the price is naturally many times higher.
Flying swords are no longer weapons, but belong to the category of high-grade magical weapons.
When a master of the Tianyuan Realm injects magic power, the flying sword will rise into the sky and fly freely under the control of the cultivator.
However, cultivators below Tianyuan Mirror only have spiritual power in their body, which is not enough to fly with a sword, so the flying sword is a special weapon for masters above Tianyuan. Of course, there are magic weapon-level flying swords, but they are extremely rare in Anping City.
Zhou Yang rarely saw Tianyuan masters flying with swords, and he yearned for them very much. It's just that it takes a long process to reach that state.
In the end, he chose a fine copper sword and spent one hundred and fifty spiritual stones on it.
After paying the spirit stone, he raised the long sword above his head, slowly drew the word ten thousand, and then sheathed the long sword.
The waiter had a strange look in his eyes and hurriedly let Zhou Yang into the inner room of the store.
Sitting in the room was a middle-aged cultivator with a light red complexion, three short strands of beard, wearing a gray robe, and an eighth-level spiritual cultivation level.
Seeing Zhou Yang come in, the middle-aged man looked him up and down and said calmly: "Little brother, what do you want to do in this store?"
"Buying a sword, of course."
"What sword should I buy?"
"You can use the sword of ten thousand years."
"Little brother is joking, unless it is a magic weapon, how can there be an immortal sword?"
"Then buy a sword that can be used by thousands of people."
"There is nothing else in this shop, but the swords it forges can be used by more than ten thousand people!"
"Then buy a sword that can be used by millions of people!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man stood up slowly and solemnly said: "Ten thousand swords for ten thousand years!"
Zhou Yang replied: "The soul of the sword stays forever!"
"Haha, this brother must be Brother Zhou Yangzhou!" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"That's right. I wonder what you call me, brother?"
"Qi Linchuan."
"I've met Brother Qi."
"Brother Zhou is very polite, please take a seat. Let's serve tea!" Qi Linchuan gave up his seat, ordered the waiter to serve tea, and then said, "This is Brother Zhou's first time back here. Is there anything urgent?"
"It's not an urgent matter. It's just that I haven't reported the situation in the city to Miss Sima for a long time. I'm afraid that Miss Sima is impatient, so I took the liberty to interrupt and ask Brother Qi to help me forward a letter." Zhou Yang clasped his fists again.
"No problem, brother Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely pass it on." Qi Linchuan said cheerfully.
"Thank you so much, Brother Qi." After saying that, Zhou Yang took out a letter and handed it to Qi Linchuan.
"You're welcome." Qi Linchuan took the letter and put it into his arms.
"The mother of Hu Chengjun, the elder of the Alchemy Room of Xuanfu Sect, passed away, and many sects came to express their condolences. I met the two daughters of Master Qiang there, and met with the second lady, and asked her to deliver two thousand spirit stones to Miss Sima. "Zhou Yang put down the tea cup and said.
"Oh." Qi Linchuan just said softly.
Zhou Yang continued: "In addition, there are two main messages delivered today. One is that the five hundred spirit platform disciples of the Xuanfu Sect will go to the wasteland to practice in the nineteen days, and then there will be several groups of disciples going there one after another, each group for half a month. Secondly, the Du branch of Xuanfu Sect, the second elder of Xingpu and their subordinate deacons have already pledged their allegiance to Zhou Yuanzheng and were entrusted with important tasks. The second elders of Protector, Chuan Gong and their subordinate deacons were restrained by Zhou Yuanzheng and sent into the new mine as slaves. As for Sima Valley Uncle and nephew, we don’t know it yet.”
Zhou Yang first told the story of meeting Qiang Yun at his mother's funeral, and then compiled the contents of the letter without concealing anything.
The reason why he concealed his identity at the time but revealed it now was because he had his own motives.
First of all, although Qiang Yun didn't know his identity that day, the spirit stone bag she gave her contained a letter from herself to Sima Ling'er. It was hard to guarantee that Qiang Yun would not open it out of curiosity and check it, so it would not be difficult to guess her identity. Secondly, even if he didn't tell the content of the letter handed over this time, Wan Jianmen would open it and check it first, so it would be better to sell Qi Linchuan a favor.
Therefore, telling the truth at this time is to tell Qiang Yun through Qi Linchuan's mouth, so as to avoid being complained by Miss Qiang Er again.
Qi Linchuan had also experienced ups and downs for a long time, and he had made some guesses about this. He couldn't help but secretly praise Zhou Yang for his meticulous behavior and clear mind. At this time, he concluded that what Zhou Yang said must be exactly the same as what he said in the letter.
"We are our own family. We will return the spiritual stones that Brother Zhou bought for the sword in full." Qi Linchuan said politely.
"It's a small amount, not worth mentioning." Zhou Yang looked indifferent, but in fact he was still very happy. If you want to give it away, there's no reason why I shouldn't accept it. I won't take advantage of the big sect's advantages.
Qi Linchuan gave a low five, and the boy walked in and handed one hundred and fifty spiritual stones to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang said a few polite words, then took the spirit stone and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Qi."
"It doesn't have to be this way."
The two discussed some more about the situation in Anping City, and then he left.
After leaving Jiange, Zhou Yang went straight to Liang Sanli's stall, but he missed it. Shopkeeper Liang was not there.
Then he found Liu Menglong's shop, but it was not there either, so he had to return to Lingtian first.
Finding out the details of the old man with a clean face can only be done later.
Seeing him come back, Tiehu complained a few words, blaming him for staying out overnight without saying hello.
Zhou Yang smiled mysteriously and asked his senior brother to have a drink.
"Are they still practicing hard in seclusion?" Zhou Yang asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Well, my cultivation has improved rapidly and I am hitting the bottleneck in the late Kaiyuan period."
"Cultivation cannot be rushed, it must be relaxed and moderate, otherwise you will be weak on the outside and weak on the inside." Zhou Yang shook his head.
"I also said it, but the two of them didn't listen. They just practiced hard and there was nothing they could do!" Tiehu also shook his head.
"I'll remind them again after they come out of seclusion."
"Well, your words should be more effective than mine."
Zhou Yang took another sip of wine, and then smiled at Tie Hu: "Brother, guess who I saw yesterday?"
"You know I don't like to guess. If you have something to say, just say it." Tiehu said dissatisfied.
Zhou Yang was dumbfounded. This senior brother was really boring and kept everything straight.
"I saw Uncle Zhong."
"What? Uncle Zhong, he is still alive!" Tie Hu stood up and said in surprise and deceit.
