Lu Zhu seemed to have thought of something and quickly reacted. His face turned slightly red and he asked politely: "Sister...sister, is my elder brother up?"
Xiang Shu frowned immediately, "What nonsense are you talking about? Come in quickly, we'll be on our way after breakfast."
Lu Zhu's eyes widened when he heard the same voice, and he said in disbelief: "You...you are Brother Shen?!"
Xiang Shen's eyes were slightly cold. Lu Zhu felt the same warning gaze and subconsciously shrank his neck. Then he was even more shocked and followed into the room and asked: "Are you really Brother Shen? Ah, sister Shen, you are a woman. build?"
"What about female nuns?"
Xiang Shu's expression was dull, his eyebrows raised slightly, "What? Do you look down on female cultivators?"
"No no no..."
Lu Zhu came in and put down his breakfast. He waved his hands and said, "I'm just too surprised. I always thought you were born with a sharp tongue. And sister, your behavior is really unlike... the female cultivators I've seen."
"oh?"
Xiang Shu sat down and asked casually while eating breakfast: "What kind of female nuns have you seen?"
Lu Zhu's mind flashed through the images of the female pets raised by the elders in the royal family, and he shuddered immediately. He looked at his mouth with a guilty conscience and said vaguely: "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just think that sister, you are better than those female cultivators." sharp!"
If he really spoke out about his female favorite, wouldn't he think that Sister Shen is like a female favorite in both words and deeds?
In that case, he will definitely be beaten, right?
Xiang Shen glanced at Lu Zhu strangely and didn't bother to ask more, "Eat quickly."
"Uh-huh!"
When Lu Zhu saw that Xiang Shen didn't ask any more questions, he felt relieved and stuffed him even faster.
After a while, the two men repaired themselves and left with the dry food prepared by the inn.
After leaving the inn, Xiang Shu was not in a hurry to leave the city. He looked around and came to a business. Under Lu Zhu's confused look, he bought a whole fleet of goods and hired a team of bodyguards at a high price. Then he went to Lu Guoxing from the grand place of Pipeline.
Sitting in the carriage, the confusion on Lu Zhu's face turned into admiration, "Sister, I understand."
Xiang Shu nodded slightly and said, "It's good if you understand."
"But……"
Lu Zhu changed the topic and asked, "Sister, you haven't said what we are going to do in Xiuzhenfang City yet."
Xiang Shu looked confused, "Don't you understand?"
Lu Zhu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I knew that sister, you hired a convoy to go through the pipeline to avoid the casual cultivators and cover up others' eyes."
"The same goes for going to Xiuzhenfang City."
A reminder to Xiang Shen, close your eyes and rest your mind, and stop talking.
Lu Zhu seemed to understand, but looked distressed. Could it be that he was actually really stupid? Why did he still not quite understand even after Sister Shen reminded her?
Unknowingly, three days flew by.
Xiang Shu also didn't expect that the escort he found at random seemed honest and honest, but he was unambiguous in his actions.
On the way, they encountered several groups of bandits, but they were sent away by the escort leader himself. There was no need for Xiang Shu to help secretly, and the convoy arrived safely in the capital of Lu State.
After paying the final payment and parting ways with the escort team, Xiang Shen went to the city and sold the entire fleet, then entered a clothing store, put on a black robe commonly worn by casual cultivators, and disappeared into the dense crowd on the street.
"Sister, Fangshi is in Mingyun Tower."
Lu Zhu stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant and said in a low voice: "It's just casual cultivators who are cautious and have their own circles. Although I know that the market is here, I don't have their token of entry."
Xiang Shu nodded slightly and said, "Let's talk after we go in."
"Two distinguished guests, please come in!"
As soon as they entered the store, the waiter warmly greeted the two of them to sit down and said, "My dear guests, what would you like?"
"Your store's signature dishes are just what they look like."
Xiang Shu took out the money and put it on the table, then quietly took out a jade pendant and pressed it on the money.
When the waiter saw the jade pendant, he immediately understood it and said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that we are a distinguished guest. I will arrange a private room for you. Please come with me."
"Thank you."
He nodded politely to Shu and followed suit.
Lu Zhu looked at the two people walking in front of him with a blank look on his face, his head full of questions.
He or his sister, who is the native of Lu?
Seeing that the two of them were about to walk away, he hurriedly chased after them. He couldn't help but send a message and asked: "Sister, where did you get the token?"
Xiang Shen didn't say anything and just shook the storage ring on his hand.
Lu Zhu recognized it at a glance. It was Commander Wang's storage ring.
Yes!
Commander Wang was born as a casual cultivator and has been in Lu State all year round. How could he not have a token from Lu State’s Xiuzhenfang Market? Why didn't he think of this?
Lu Zhu hit his head hard and was furious.
Lu Zhu, Lu Zhu, was your brain eaten by a dog? Where has all the cleverness gone?
"Two distinguished guests, the place has arrived."
The waiter stopped and went to turn the mechanism.
When Xiang Shen turned around, he saw Lu Zhu hammering his head with a strange look in his eyes.
What kind of stupidity is this kid doing?
Kakaka——
At this time, the sound of the machine's rotation sounded one after another, and a corridor door appeared on the wall of the private room.
"Two immortals, the younger one is a mortal and is not allowed to enter, so he can only be sent here. You two only need to walk forward along the corridor, and when you exit the exit, you will reach Mingyunfang City."
After the waiter finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Without saying a word, Xiang Shu pulled Lu Zhu into the door.
The corridor was long and winding and brightly lit. They walked quickly for half an hour, and finally passed through the exit and came to a lively market street. Their ears were instantly filled with noise.
"Let's take a walk and take a look! The best blank talisman seals and spirit animal skin paper are freshly baked!"
"Three new bottles of high-grade spiritual elixir are released, only selling for six spiritual stones!"
As soon as the voice came out, a large number of casual cultivators rushed up to grab it, "I came first!"
"You fart! I was the one who came first!"
"Come here and see, I came out of the ghost stream alive and brought out a magical treasure..."
Another group of spectators gathered around.
"..."
Lu Zhu stared at the scene in the market dumbfounded and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This is Xiuzhenfang City? Why does it look like a secular market..."
Xiang Shu was also slightly surprised, but he calmed down his expression in just a moment and patted Lu Zhu on the back, "Don't look around. Are you afraid that others won't know that this is your first time coming in?"
Lu Zhu quickly lowered his head and followed Xiang Shu obediently.
Xiang Shu looked at the roadside stalls casually, walking and stopping, but in fact his attention was entirely on places other than the street.
The Xiuzhenfang Market here seems to be hidden in the secular market in the city, and is covered by some kind of formation, making it difficult for mortals and monks to find it outside. They can only enter through the Mingyun Tower.
After seeing this clearly, Xiang Shu continued to wander in. After walking for a short time, he finally heard what he wanted to hear. He stopped at a roadside stall and pretended to squat down to choose.
When the old man who owned the stall saw someone stopping, he suddenly smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, you have really good eyesight. The things I have here are all top-quality treasures fished out of ghost streams. Each piece only requires a piece of spiritual stone. Take your pick!”
Lu Zhu, who was standing next to Xiang Shu, couldn't help but pout when he heard this.
What kind of treasure only requires a spiritual stone? Can this liar be any more fake?
If one can even come out of the ghost stream alive at the first level of Qi training, can it still be called a ghost stream?
"Let me consider."
Xiang Shen nodded in agreement and picked slowly. The sound of two casual cultivators talking behind him reached his ears at the right time.
"The news about the Lu family's ancestral land has spread all over the city. How could I not know about it? But you don't know where Xuanwang City is? What's the difference between us brothers going in and seeking death?"
"The two of us can't do it, but there is strength in numbers! I heard that another cultivator family came to recruit people today, and they are in the Tianqing Pavilion in front."
"I won't go, no matter what, I won't go!"
"..."
Xiang Shen's heart beat slightly faster, he threw down a spiritual stone, took a page of gold paper from the stall, stood up and left.
Lu Zhu was shocked and came to his senses, and quickly followed.
"Sister, you had expected that there would be casual cultivators going to Xuanwang City together? That's why you brought me to Fangshi?!"
He asked as he walked, looking at Xiang Shu with a clear look of admiration.
He carefully put the gold paper into the blood ring, glanced at Lu Zhu who was full of excitement, and said calmly: "I just came here to try my luck. You are lucky."
While speaking, Xiang Shen suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at the original stall, only to see that the old man who owned the stall had disappeared at some point and was replaced by a middle-aged monk.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Zhu noticed something was wrong and immediately asked.
"What about the old man?"
"What old man?"
Lu Zhu looked confused. Seeing that his expression didn't seem to be fake, Xiang Shen could only add: "That's the stall owner."
Unexpectedly, when these words came out, Lu Zhu became even more confused, "Sister, what on earth are you talking about? Isn't the stall owner always the middle-aged monk?"
Xiang Shen's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body.
That gold paper was no coincidence!
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
It was the first time Lu Zhu saw Xiang Shen showing such a solemn expression, and he also panicked.
"It's nothing, I just thought of some past events and saw the wrong person."
Xiang Shu breathed out softly and his expression returned to normal, "Let's go to Tianqing Pavilion."
"That's good, that's good..."
Lu Zhuda breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and followed.
After a while, the two came to the outside of Tianqing Pavilion and saw three circles inside and three outside circles filled with casual cultivators who wanted to enter.
Lu Zhu was dumbfounded when he saw this, "Are these people going to Xuanwang City?"
As soon as these words came out, a casual cultivator next to him was immediately aroused and couldn't help but said: "Two fellow Taoists, you just came to Fangshi today, don't you know?
The family that came to Fang City to recruit people this time was extremely generous! As long as they are selected, not only can they take a spiritual boat to Xuanwang City, but each person will also receive a bottle of valuable high-grade spiritual elixir for free! My cultivation level is low, so I came here just to watch the excitement. If you two have enough cultivation level, you can go in and give it a try. "
"real?"
Lu Zhu was surprised and happy, and grabbed Xiang Shu's sleeve, "Sister, if we can get on the spirit boat, we won't be afraid of being robbed and killed outside the city."
Xiang Shen hummed, "Then go try it."
She pulled Lu Zhu through the crowd of spectators, and was about to step into the gate of Tianqing Pavilion when her eyes inadvertently glanced at the face of a person in the pavilion, and her figure instantly froze.
