"Hahaha, Taoist friend is joking." The general's expression did not change after hearing Ji Liao's words, he laughed, and then said, "I know how Taoist friends view Tiangong, but I still have money to eat every day. Rice, I think it’s better for you, fellow Taoist, to stop being embarrassed."
Ji Liao naturally understood the meaning of the words of the god in front of him. The other party lowered his attitude so much, which was enough to give Ji Liao face. If he continued to pester him, it would be a bit unethical.
Ji Liao lowered his head and glanced at the Lihuo Essence in his palm, and then looked at the general in front of him again, "How mysterious is this Lihuo Essence that you, a Tiangong god general, can't let go of?"
The god general's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't expect that Ji Liao didn't know the purpose of the Lihuo Essence, but his reaction was very quick. He smiled again and said, "Fellow Taoist, I will go to the city to find out the purpose of this Lihuo Essence later." Yes, but I want fellow Taoists to know that this city bathed in fire was built by Tiangong, and the method of absorbing the essence of Lihuo was also created by Tiangong. If there was no Tiangong, there would be nothing in front of us. Tiangong’s taking more of the essence of Lihuo would not count. It’s too much, Taoist friends, just wait and see..."
The god general said and pointed his finger, and then drew a circle in the void with his fingertips, "The area I drew is within the area designated by the Tiangong. Others are not allowed to receive the essence of Lihuo here. As for the areas outside the area, Fellow Taoists can take the essence of the Lihuo by themselves."
Ji Liao looked along the place drawn by the general, and then he understood why there was no monk outside the Heavenly Palace here. It turned out that those people had all gone to the periphery.
"As for why I have to take back the Lihuo Essence in the hands of fellow Taoist, I think fellow Taoist can also understand. If this hole is opened, how can I stop others in Tiangong if there is another Lihuo frenzy?" the god general added. said.
"Hahaha, it seems that I broke the rules." After hearing this, Ji Liao chuckled, and immediately stopped entangled with the god general. He raised his hand, and the Lihuo Essence in his palm was immediately thrown away. Got out.
The god general saw the Lihuo Essence flying in and did not make any move. On the contrary, the monk who followed him and had perfected the spirit of refining moved, took out a jade bottle and collected the Lihuo Essence.
"Thank you for your understanding, fellow Taoist." The general said with a smile and cupped his hands to Ji Liao.
Ji Liao returned the gift, and immediately stopped staying here and walked in the other direction.
"My lord, Yang Shuo, do you dare to ask your friend's name?" Ji Liao just took two steps, and the voice of the god general came from behind again.
Ji Liao waved his hand without stopping, "We are just passing by in a hurry. It is difficult to meet each other in such a vast world. Why do we need to know our surnames?"
Not long after, Ji Liao's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
The god general named Yang Shuo chuckled, "Hahaha, he is an interesting human race."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the unconscious divine soldier, "Take him down to recuperate."
"Yes!" The magic soldier who was allied with him responded immediately. Without daring to ask any more questions, he picked up the unconscious magic soldier and turned around to leave.
Yang Shuo and the two divine soldiers who had perfected their god-refining skills were suddenly the only ones left in the field.
"Master, why are you treating this person so politely? There is a Son of God sitting in the city of fire right now. No matter how arrogant he is, he still dares to be arrogant in front of the Son of God." said the divine soldier who had perfected the God Refining.
"Look at the golden light flowing in his eyes. That's the self-revelation of Dao's will from the Dao's Lingqiao, and ordinary monks can't do it." Yang Shuo said quietly as he looked at the street where Ji Liao disappeared.
"What, Dao Yi Lingqiao, that person actually cultivated Dao Yi to the Lingqiao Mirror." The divine soldier who had perfected his god training was shocked when he heard this, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Hahaha, although the Heavenly Palace is big, there are so many brave people in the world. We still need to keep our eyes open to avoid offending people we shouldn't offend. After all, the Heavenly Palace cannot protect us all the time." Yang Shuo said, and then talked to that person The perfected divine weapon walked towards the other direction of the street.
Another place.
Ji Liao walked slowly to an inn that was still open.
But they saw that the inn was huge, and the whole body was wrapped in a light blue light curtain. The door was wide open. Standing on the street, you could see that there were many people hiding from the fire in the hall.
At this time, a waiter in a green robe with golden elixir cultivation saw Ji Liao coming, his eyes immediately turned sharply, he greeted him with a smile, bowed and said, "Is this senior looking for a place to stay?"
Ji Liao paused and glanced at the waiter.
He originally wanted to see what was going on outside the set area, but he thought it would be chaotic there, and there must be countless monks beating their heads to pieces for the spirit of fire. After thinking about it, Ji Liao had no intention of going. , his footsteps turned towards the inn.
"Welcome senior." The waiter said with a bright smile.
Not long after, Ji Liao followed the waiter through the front hall of the inn. After arriving at the inn, he zigzagged to a relatively secluded courtyard.
"Senior, this is the best guest room in our hotel." The waiter said, staring at Ji Liao with eyes full of hope.
Ji Liao naturally knew what the waiter meant and stepped into the courtyard.
The waiter's smile froze on his face, then he collapsed, and he cupped his hands towards Ji Liao's back. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ji Liao's voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Come in with me!"
The waiter's expression changed, and the light in his eyes ignited again, and he immediately followed him.
This courtyard is indeed the top guest room of this inn. It is a space of its own, with rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. Although they are created, there is no trace. The sound of the gurgling water seems to have a soft texture, with a A soothing rhythm.
At the same time, this courtyard not only has a beautiful view, but the temperature inside is also cool and pleasant, and you can't feel the heat brought about by the fire craze at all.
The waiter behind Ji Liao also had a curious look on his face and kept looking around.
"Why, you haven't been here before?" Ji Liao suddenly said.
The waiter immediately calmed down his thoughts, "I'm not afraid of seniors' jokes. This courtyard was built with a lot of money by our store. My servants and I are not allowed to enter or leave here. Counting this time, it's only my second time here."
After walking slowly to a pavilion, Ji Liao found a place to sit down at random.
Looking at the waiter standing in front of him, Ji Liao's eyes flickered slightly and he asked, "Are you a native of the Jingyan tribe in Yuhuo City?"
"No!" the waiter replied, and then added, "I am from Liegu City. I came to Yuhuo City by chance. It has been here for more than two hundred years."
"More than two hundred years..." Ji Liao murmured softly, nodded slightly, and asked again, "Then are you familiar with the City of Fire?"
After hearing Ji Liao's words, the waiter immediately smiled confidently, "Hahaha, this is not a boast of a junior. The junior's realm is not high, but he receives a lot of guests every day. What happened in Yuhuo City? There are so many treasures in our family.”
"Since you know so much about the City of Fire, why don't you fight for the essence of Lihuo? If you get a drop, why do you need to do this job?"
"Senior is joking, the essence of Lihuo is not something that juniors can compete for. Every time the Lihuo craze comes, only seniors like you are qualified to compete for it. Even the seniors in the God Refining Stage can only watch. "The waiter didn't know what level of cultivation Ji Liao had, but he saw a lot of people every day, and he had already developed the ability to guess 60 or 70% of people just based on the weather, so he said flatteringly.
"It's true." Ji Liao whispered.
The Tiangong divided the Yuhuo City into an area, so all the monks could only go to the periphery to rob it. The resources were limited but there were too many people, so the low-level monks were naturally not qualified to rob it.
Thinking of this, Ji Liao asked again, "Do you still know about the Sand Sea Purgatory?"
"Sand Sea Purgatory!" The waiter was shocked.
He glanced at Ji Liao steadily before replying, "The Sand Sea Purgatory is an unknown and dangerous area. Ordinary monks dare not go deep into it, and those seniors who came back from the Sand Sea Purgatory kept it secret, so this Sand Sea No one has ever understood Purgatory. The younger generation only knows that there are many powerful creatures there, and almost no one dares to go deep into the hinterland of Purgatory."
"If you say you don't dare to go deep, then someone else will go there?" Ji Liao raised his eyebrows after hearing what the waiter said.
"Yes, there are many." The waiter said, and then continued, "Sand Sea Purgatory is rarely visited by monks, so the things inside are naturally much richer, and the monsters inside are also quite precious. If you have the courage, If you go in, you can more or less gain something, but the outskirts of the Sand Sea Purgatory are also extremely dangerous. If ten people go in, two or three can come out, which is good."
"So dangerous..."
"Senior, do you want to hunt for treasures in the Sand Sea Purgatory?" The waiter asked, trying to figure out Ji Liao's thoughts.
Ji Liao glanced at the waiter and said nothing.
The waiter immediately understood what Ji Liao meant, and quickly bowed to Ji Liao, "It's the junior who was rude, senior, don't blame me, the junior means that if the senior wants to go hunting for treasures in the Sand Sea Purgatory, now is the time."
"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Ji Liao asked.
"The Lihuo craze has just arrived, and after each Lihuo frenzy ends, many evil spirits in the Sand Sea Purgatory will come out to absorb the spiritual power from the Lihuo, and at the same time, many precious spiritual plants will emerge as the times require. If now If you go in, you will have a great opportunity. I think Tiangong and some sect forces have already issued missions in Yuhuo City."
"Mission?" Ji Liao asked again.
"Hahaha, seniors don't know, there are almost no mortals in our Bathing Fire City. The monks living here are interested in the Sand Sea Purgatory, and the Heavenly Palace and the people from the Immortal Family sect who are resident here will not let it go. Of course they will not miss this opportunity because of their strong financial resources, but they usually will not go in, so every time at this time they will release some items or spiritual beast bounties. If someone brings them back, they will Pay appropriate remuneration.”
"There is another matter." When Ji Liao heard this, he started to think about it.
The waiter's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Liao's expression. He knew that his opportunity had come, and he puffed up his chest and said, "Senior, if you are interested, I can go and ask for all the bounties posted by each company."
Ji Liao calmed down after hearing this and chuckled slightly when he saw the waiter's expression. With a little click of his finger, ten Immortal Essence Stones immediately clattered onto the stone table in front of him.
"take it."
The waiter's face was immediately filled with joy, and he immediately put away the ten Immortal Essence Stones, "Senior will give you more rewards. Thank you for your rewards, I will definitely do things well for you."
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the courtyard as fast as he could.
"Since there is no map to find, we have to see what's inside." After the waiter left, Ji Liao murmured softly.
