"Is the dragon species the monster species closest to the Lord God?"
"Exactly, the power of dragon species is much stronger than that of my concubine."
"How long will it take to cross the sea?"
"Ten days."
"What about traveling through the Rainy Silence Forest?"
"If there are no external factors, you can see the town in three days."
"Besides the dragon monster, are there other monsters in Yujing Forest?"
"Affected by the dragon-type monster, the monsters in the Yujing Forest are stronger than the monsters in the mountains and jungles. The power of my body has been assimilated by the divine sword. Now I only have the strength of the Immortal Sect. Zhu Yu My two sisters, Jin Ying and Jin Ying, are now at the Immortal Sect level. If we encounter ordinary monsters, we sisters can still resist them. However, if we encounter the Immortal Emperor level monsters in the Yujing Forest, the three of us sisters may not be able to cope with them. "
"I have the inheritance of two seniors, Sword Immortal and Sword Demon, as well as the blessing of the Divine Sword. Now that my own immortal veins have awakened, my sword techniques should also be able to fight against the Immortal Emperor-level monsters. In addition, You should be able to break through the Yujing Forest easily with the Mecha Puppet."
"As long as the dragon monster doesn't take action," Zhu Yu said.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiyun asked Qinglin and the others to return to the Divine Sword, while he rushed towards Yu Jinglin. In early spring, there was a steady drizzle in the quiet forest. Xiyun, wearing a black raincoat, shuttled between the woods. Along the way, Xiyun kept dealing with various monsters. Most of the monster beasts in Yujing Forest exist in groups. They all have their own territories and do not interfere with each other. Only Xiyun is running around like a fool, intruding into the territory of this group and then intruding into the territory of that group. Either running away or fighting.
"No wonder it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to survive in this Yujing Forest. Affected by the dragon species, the monsters in this Yujing Forest are extremely ferocious. There is a tacit understanding between the monster group and the monster group to live in peace and harmony. , but it’s just a pain for us ‘outsiders’ who don’t have the aura of monsters or beasts in our bodies.”
"Master wants to see the good side, at least the real guardian of Yujing Forest has not taken action." Qinglin transmitted the message to Xiyun, who stopped jumping in the forest to express his agreement.
"Master, the exit of Yujinglin is ahead." Zhu Yu reminded, Xiyun, who was parked on a branch, focused his spiritual power in his pupils, enhanced his vision and saw two towns not far from Yujinglin.
"Would those two towns so close to Yujinglin not be attacked by monsters?"
"This is already the outskirts of Yujing Forest. It seems that the territory of those monster beast groups has not reached here. It is probably the guardian of Yujing Forest who issued an order not to let the monster beasts in Yujing Forest get close to the periphery of Yujing Forest." Jin Ying said.
"This is best. I have been chased for five days." Xiyun jumped off the branch, turned into a golden light in mid-air and flew out, passing through layers of rain curtains and leaving the scope of Yujing Forest.
The two cities closest to the outskirts of Yujinglin are only separated by a wall, but they are two cities. The one in the north is called Xingyu City, and the one in the south is called Luoyu City. Xiyun took off his raincoat and walked towards the Xingyu City.
"who?"
Xingyu City seemed to be under martial law, and the soldiers guarding the city stopped Xiyun.
"The prodigal son from the Divine Sword State." Xiyun showed his token to the soldiers guarding the city. The gold-inlaid "sword" on the front and the silver-engraved long sword on the back showed Liu Yun that he was from the Divine Sword State. The cultivator. Qingyu Jiuzhou has its own tokens, which are all created by the order makers of each state. The makers of these rules can be the strongest force of one family or an alliance of multiple forces.
"People from the Divine Sword State?" The soldier guarding the city took Xiyun's token and looked at it carefully. After confirming that the token was not forged, he returned it to Xiyun, "Go in, the stars have been raining in recent days. The Qianlong Ranking Competition is about to be held in the city, and young talents from various sects have gathered in Xingyu City. There are still a few days before the competition begins, and each force will definitely use all means to eliminate the top young talents from the opposing forces. , this is not the Divine Sword State, you are alone and keeping a low profile."
"Ah?" Xiyun was very surprised as to why the soldier in front of him said this to him, but before he had time to think about it, the soldier urged him to enter the city quickly so as not to interfere with his work.
"Master, the temperament of that soldier guarding the city is extraordinary. I feel that he is definitely not an ordinary soldier guarding the city." Qing Lin sent a message to Xiyun.
"Did you also notice?" Xiyun agreed with Qinglin, "I guess that person is a general or something. No matter what his identity is, he seems to know my identity." Xiyun moved toward an inn in the distance. As he walked, the soldier who stopped Xiyun at the city gate kept staring at Xiyun's retreating back.
"General." Another soldier walked up to the soldier and took the helmet and armor that the soldier had taken off, and helped the soldier put on a silver dragon-patterned armor with a more complex pattern. "General, we don't need to keep him here." Protected in the military?”
"The Demon King just asked us to secretly protect and assist him. Keeping him in the army may cause unnecessary trouble. No matter what he does when he comes to Yuzhou, we just need to do our job well."
"yes."
"Store, are there any vacancies?" Xiyun walked into an inn. The sky was getting dark and Xiyun needed to find a place to stay.
"Yes!" The innkeeper ran over, "There are three more upper rooms. How many do you want, sir?"
"One room," Xiyun casually summoned a bag of gold coins and threw it to the boss. The boss took the bag and weighed it. The amount was considerable, "I think I will stay here for a while. If this bag is not enough, you can ask me for more." If there is any money left when I leave, there’s no need to change it. Go prepare some food and send it to my room, I’m a little hungry.”
"Yes." The boss put the money bag away and motioned to the waiter to take Xiyun upstairs, while he went to the back to prepare food for Xiyun. About two or three sticks of incense came here, and the waiter brought the food to Xiyun's room. At the same time, he also made a pot of good tea for Xiyun.
"Thank you." Xiyun threw a gold coin to the waiter as a tip. The waiter caught the gold coin and immediately his eyes lit up, he thanked her and left.
The common currencies of the Qingyu include silver coins, gold coins, purple gold coins, dragon pattern silver coins, dragon pattern gold coins and dragon pattern purple gold coins. One dragon-patterned purple gold coin is equal to ten dragon-patterned gold coins, which is equal to one hundred dragon-patterned coins, which is equal to one thousand purple gold coins, which is equal to ten thousand gold coins, which is equal to one hundred thousand silver coins. The annual income of an inn like this is about 700 gold coins, and the annual income of an ordinary working class family is 100 gold coins. For example, the waiter of this inn, whose annual income is thirty gold coins, so the one gold coin Xiyun gave him was equivalent to half a month's income, so he was naturally overjoyed. In an ordinary inn, the annual rent for a room like this is about one hundred gold coins, but the purse Xiyun threw to the boss contained two hundred gold coins, and the boss could tell that Xiyun would not stay there permanently, so maybe it was. Knowing that Qianlong was helping Dabi to join in the fun, he was very happy to have someone taken advantage of.
"Sir, you got up really early."
Xiyun got up early the next day. When he got downstairs, he saw the storekeeper settling accounts, probably preparing various ingredients for today.
"Good morning, boss." Xiyun stretched, "When will the Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition start?"
"There are still three days. The streets will be chaotic these days. It would be better for you, Master, to stay in your room."
"You'll get bored if you stay in the room all the time. Are there any bookstores or academies in this city?"
"Is this your first time coming to Xingyu City, sir?"
"Yes," Xiyun sat down at the table. The boss quickly made a pot of tea and brought it to Xiyun's table. "Before, I had been practicing in the mountains with my master and didn't know much about the outside world."
"There is an academy in the west city of Xingyu City, but the academy has been requisitioned by the Night Clan."
"Night Clan?"
"The Night Clan is one of the eight clans in Tingyu Prefecture. Its main sphere of influence is in Night City, not far away. Its leader, Night King Ye Dongchen, is the strongest Immortal Sect and the only Immortal Sect in Tingyu Prefecture. He has three generals under him. They are all based on the strength of the Immortal Lord, so the Night Clan’s own strength is also the first among the eight clans.”
"I heard the name Ye Dongchen mentioned by Master. Back then, Master said that among his many defeated generals, Ye Dongchen was the only one who was pretty good." Anyway, bragging doesn't require paying taxes, so Xiyun just got used to it. Scare this boss. The boss was really frightened by Xiyun's words, and the hand that poured Xiyun's tea trembled slightly.
"Go and do your work first."
"Yes." The boss retreated, probably preparing breakfast for Xiyun.
"This is it." After breakfast, Xiyun set off for the academy. The name of this academy is "Qingyang Bookstore". There are two people wearing black clothes guarding outside the academy's gate, with silver "Ye" engraved on their waists. Word waist tag. Xiyun walked forward to talk to the two Night Clan disciples.
"Two brothers, the younger brother is a casual cultivator from Tingyu Mountain. After bidding farewell to his master and coming down the mountain, he has always heard about the Qianlong Competition, so he traveled thousands of miles to Xingyu City, but he learned that the Qianlong Competition was even more... It has only been a few days since I was bored, so I wanted to come to this academy to study and relieve my boredom. I also hope that my two brothers can come in and let me know so that my younger brother can enter this academy." As he spoke, Xiyun summoned two crystal clear red balls. The crystal was delivered to the two Night Clan disciples. These two crystals are spiritual crystals refined from the soul cores of emperor-level flame monsters. Refining these crystals can greatly speed up the cultivation speed of emperors and cultivators below. They are marketable and priceless treasures. . The two disciples in front of Xiyun should both be venerable-level fire cultivators, so Xiyun was sure that he could impress them by taking out two emperor-level fire spiritual crystals. As expected, the two people's eyes immediately widened when they saw the spirit crystal, so they quickly put the spirit crystal away. One of them immediately entered the academy to report. After a while, the disciple left with a middle-aged man in black. come out.
"Master, please." The middle-aged man invited Xiyun into the academy, "I wonder who your master is?"
"I cannot disclose the name of my master, but my master is good at the secret art of machine puppets, and the secret skills of machine puppets have also been passed down to the younger generations."
"Puppet secret technique? Could it be that person's disciple?"
Xiyun and the middle-aged man moved to the lobby of the academy. A figure in the sky kept looking at the two of them. When he learned that Xiyun had learned the secret technique of mechanism puppet, he quietly turned into a purple light and left. Looking at Xiyun, the middle-aged man took Xiyun to the academy lobby, where another middle-aged man had been waiting for a long time.
The middle-aged man in the seat is wearing black clothes with an eagle pattern. He has a fair face and long black hair. He has the aura of "strategizing and winning thousands of miles away".
"Night King." The middle-aged man who brought Xiyun to the lobby saluted the man in the seat and then withdrew.
"Sir, please take a seat." The man gestured for Xiyun to take a seat, and Xiyun did not hesitate to sit on the guest seat to the left of the man.
"Since you said you are the disciple of my old friend, can you show me your identity to prove your identity?"
"Of course." Xiyun summoned five golden orbs. With the control of Xiyun's mental power, the five orbs released their power at the same time and transformed into a golden magic circle. As the golden magic circle moved from top to bottom, , five golden mecha puppets in the shape of auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts appeared in the lobby. The five puppets look exactly the same, the only difference is that the auspicious cloud beast patterns on their bodies are purple, green, blue, red and brown respectively. Xiyun just waved his hand casually, and the eyes of the five mecha puppets lit up, and then they rushed towards the man in the seat at the same time. The man did not react for a moment and hurriedly released his power to stop the five puppets in mid-air, and then saw The five puppets disintegrated at the same time, and countless parts flew back into the five orbs, and then returned to Xiyun.
"As expected, he is his disciple. The five puppets of the Young Master actually almost broke through this king's blockade."
"Senior just didn't react for a moment and was taken advantage of by junior." Xiyun said and took back the orb.
"Young master, you are being humble. Back then, I didn't take advantage of your master's secret technique of trap puppetry, and I almost lost my life." The middle-aged man sighed. At this moment, Xiyun was just amused. He didn't expect that his casual bragging was actually true.
"I am Ye Dongchen, the Night King of the Night Clan. You are the disciple of my old friend and can be considered my nephew. I will give this token to you. From now on, you can freely enter and leave this academy and my Ye Dongchen. The Night City, the clan’s headquarters, has the same status in my Night clan as the princess of my Night clan.”
"Thank you, senior." Xiyun took the night token sent by Ye Dongchen. There were more patterns on it, and it looked like it should be much more advanced than the two disciples guarding the gate outside.
