In fact, the guesses of the two leaders were very close to the truth. In terms of strength, even ten hundred Ye Chongshan was no match for Zhou Yang.
But how did they know that not only did the two of them not conflict, but they also talked happily.
While the old eunuch and the two guard leaders were making random guesses, Zhou Yang had already joined the two tigers.
"Why have you been gone for so long? Did the emperor ask you to stay for dinner?" Song Laohu said in a rough voice as soon as they met.
He and Tiehu had been waiting here for several hours, but they couldn't move around at will and were already suffocated.
"I'm sorry, brothers. Something really delayed me, otherwise I would have come out a long time ago." Zhou Yang apologized.
"Why, have you met that sub-immortal master?" Tiehu asked.
"See you."
"how?"
"My guesses are all wrong. I'll tell you in detail when I get back."
"What's the point? Come on!" Tie Hu quit. His temper was even more impatient than Song Laosan's.
"Senior brother, you don't need this little effort. Let's talk as we walk, this will work!" Zhou Yang said helplessly.
"Walk."
When you enter the palace, you have to undergo a lot of interrogations, but when you leave, it's much easier, and basically no one bothers you.
"That Master Yaxian was originally the deacon of Zhou Tianzong's Alchemy Room."
"What! Are you kidding?" When the two tigers heard this, they were both shocked.
Song Laosan was the most shocked. Zhou Yang and Tie Hu didn't know, but he understood very well that to be able to achieve the position of deacon of Zhou Tianzong, one must at least be in the middle stage of Tianyuan. The more senior deacons are also in the late stage of Tianyuan.
The fact that this sub-immortal master had such a great background was beyond his expectation.
But since he is a Tianyuan cultivator, why is he called a sub-immortal master?
"This is what happened." Zhou Yang told Ye Chongshan's origins without hiding anything.
"So that's it, it really shocked me!" It suddenly dawned on the two of them that the so-called Yaxian Master was just a useless person.
At this time, the three of them had walked out of the palace, talking and laughing all the way to the inn.
"There were no extra rewards in previous years. Who did you listen to?" Zhou Yang asked about the extra rewards for the competition, but Song Laohu had never heard of it.
"Listen to what Ye Chongshan said. Since he wants to win over me, his words should be true." Zhou Yang said.
"Could it be that the rewards have changed this year?"
"It's possible, but from what he means, it's not just about awarding magical weapons, elixirs, etc., but there should be a deeper purpose."
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask my eldest brother when I get back. He should know about this. Since the reward is pretty good, fourth brother, you might as well give it a try!" Tiger encouraged.
"Besides, with my current strength, going up there is useless."
"Little Yangzi, before you came here, you killed Chunyu Laojiu, who was at the top of the spiritual realm. Killing people beyond your level is your strong point. Besides, your cultivation has improved again this time. I heard from the tiger that you have reached the ninth level. It's not a problem to die as a spiritual cultivator who is stronger than Chunyu Laojiu. I am absolutely optimistic about you!" Tie Hu also cheered him up.
"Hey, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. I can't do the leapfrog challenge alone. Among the two million cultivators in Dingbeicheng, there are so many Lingtai cultivators who are far better than me. You must not stand alone and be self-proclaimed. If you really want to do that, You will definitely smile and be generous!”
Zhou Yang has a clear understanding of his own strength. He has not broken through to the peak of Lingtai, and the possibility of taking the stage to win the ranking is extremely slim.
However, a breakthrough would be quick.
There is still one month left before the Tianxing Sect internal selection, and two months left before the three faction competition. If the process is accelerated, breakthrough will not be a problem.
But the key is that he doesn't want to encourage the growth of the situation. A breakthrough must be achieved through channels. It would be best if there are signs of a natural breakthrough, but he doesn't know when this will happen.
Although my cultivation has progressed rapidly during this period, it was not achieved by blindly taking medicine or practicing hard work, but by a series of adventures, and was obtained after going through the test of life and death. Therefore, there is no problem with my state of mind, and it meets the conditions for a breakthrough. .
If you just want to limit the time, it goes without saying that you can break through naturally. If you force a breakthrough, it will easily leave consequences.
"We'll see in a month. I'll finish the work at hand as soon as possible and try to return to the city as soon as possible." Zhou Yang said after Shen Ling for a moment.
"Okay, let's do it."
"Little Yangzi, the three of you ran out to play early in the morning, but you left me alone in the inn. It's not fun!" As soon as they entered the store, Xing'er pursed her lips and said angrily.
"Sister Xing'er, you wrongly blamed me for waiting! It was my senior brother who was going to the market for shopping. He was afraid of meeting a master and not being able to defeat him, so he took my third brother and me to be his bodyguards."
Zhou Yang pointed at Iron Tiger and said sincerely, but he glanced at his senior brother pleadingly from the corner of his eye.
Tiehu had already rolled his eyes. He was so angry. It was a typical example of forgetting one's duty in favor of sex, focusing on sex over friends. You little Yangzi, just wait for me!
Song Laosan on the side looked at Zhou Yang blankly. He had never seen his fourth brother say panic. Today's incident has definitely overturned Zhou Yang's image in his mind. This is not a word of panic, it is simply panic. Just start speaking, no need to draft at all.
"Really?" Xing'er looked at Tiehu with a somewhat unkind look.
"Oh, that's right. There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Daxing City. Maybe there will be cultivators from other sects in Dingbei City. If we do encounter them, I, a small spiritual platform in the early stage, will not be my opponent, so...hehe." Tie Hu. He glared at Zhou Yang and had to laugh.
"Coward." Xing'er said disdainfully.
"I..." Tiehu was choked to death, but he couldn't express his pain.
"Sister Xing'er, I have a gift for you!" Zhou Yang hurriedly came to the rescue.
"A gift, what gift?" Hearing this, Xing'er hurriedly let Tie Hu go and asked.
It is a woman's nature to not care about anything when she hears a gift, especially a gift bought for her by her sweetheart.
"Close your eyes first!"
"Close my eyes, what are you doing?" Xing'er was puzzled, but after a moment, she didn't know what she thought of, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head.
Seeing this scene, the two tiger brothers looked at each other. They were just giving her a gift. Is that all?
"You two haven't left yet, why are you staying here?" Seeing the two of them standing in the room like fools, Myolie started to chase them away.
"I..." The two of them were stunned and opened their mouths to say something, but no words came out, so they had to leave the room angrily.
When Xing'er saw the two of them closing the door, her face turned red again and she closed her eyes shyly.
Zhou Yang didn't understand what it meant, but he was not idle either. He quickly took out the mask of Queen Chongmu from his arms, put it on Myolie gently, and tied the ribbon on the back for her.
Xing'er's heart was beating loudly when she suddenly felt a chill on her face, as if something was covering her face. She hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find Zhou Yang's movements through the blindfold of the mask. At this time, she seemed to be tying something on herself. .
Angry in her heart, Xing'er's face turned even redder.
This fool, it turned out that he just bought her a mask, but he thought wrongly, but if Zhou Yang knew about it, it would be embarrassing!
Fortunately, with the mask covering it, Zhou Yang didn't notice Xing'er's expression. After tying the ribbon, he asked, "How about you take a look at Jingzi?"
"I won't read anymore." Xing'er said angrily.
"Don't look at it!" Zhou Yang was stunned. Could it be that she didn't like this mask.
"This mask belongs to the Chongmu Dynasty of the ancient Jincheng Kingdom. It has been thousands of years ago. It is said that it was worn by Queen Chongmu. It is not only made of pure gold, but also uses the ancient openwork carving technique. This technique has long been lost, so this mask became This is a unique openwork treasure." To make Xing'er happy, Zhou Yang explained the origin of this mask in detail.
"An antique from thousands of years ago was worn by Queen Chongmu. How many spiritual stones are there?" Myolie also became interested after hearing this.
"Spiritual stone? No, no, it was photographed with gold, a total of fifty thousand taels!"
"Fifty thousand taels of gold, so expensive!" Although it was not a spiritual stone, Xing'er was still shocked.
Although she is a cultivator, she has come to know the concept of fifty thousand taels of gold along the way. Is that a full five hundred thousand taels of silver? If all were replaced by food, how many poor people would no longer have to go hungry!
"It's just gold, but it's completely useless to cultivators like us. It's just that the openwork technique of this mask is amazing, and it happened to be worn by a woman, so I took a picture of it for you. I think it looks really good on you."
"Really?" Hearing what Zhou Yang said, Xing'er felt happy. This was her sweetheart praising her, and then all other thoughts disappeared without a trace.
After all, she is a cultivator, not a mortal, and the mundane affairs among mortals are not her responsibility.
"Of course, this mask matches you very well, and the size is just right. It is tailor-made for you!"
Zhou Yang did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and was not afraid of offending the Ninth Princess and his wife when he took the photo just to buy it for Myolie.
First of all, this is a mask only for women, and it is indeed very beautiful. Secondly, if Myolie likes it, it will save a lot of trouble. Wearing this mask is much better than a small hat, and it can completely cover Myolie's beautiful face.
The former is okay. If Xing'er knew that Zhou Yang had a second intention, she would have to fall out with him.
"Thank you, little Yangzi!" Myolie was very happy. Needless to say, the gift was good or bad. She was satisfied with Zhou Yang's heart. It felt really good and happy to be cared about by her sweetheart!
"Repay my guest..." Before Zhou Yang could finish his words, he felt a warm feeling on his face after a gust of fragrant wind. Then Xing'er's figure flashed and she quickly left the room.
Zhou Yang touched the cheek that had been kissed by the beauty. In addition to feeling strange, there was also another indescribable complex emotion.
There were only three people in the inn, Linghu Deyi, Xing'er and Pu Zheng. Everyone else had gone shopping. It wasn't until after sunset that they returned to the inn one after another.
In the evening, everyone had another big drink and agreed to set off for Wu Haiguo early tomorrow morning.
Song Laohu calculated that it would take at least twenty days to return to Dingbeicheng after arriving at Wu Hai Kingdom for inspection. This was assuming no accidents occurred.
As for the internal selection of Tianxing Sect, there is still one month left until the full calculation is completed, so time seems to be very tight. So the group hurried out of the inn before dawn the next day.
