Cheng Yuan turned a deaf ear to what was said around him. He gave the crowd a few words and entered the back hall of the stall.
The back hall is a place arranged using a spatial folding formation. It is found in most stalls in the market. This allows stalls that are not originally spacious to have enough backup space for stall owners to rest or entertain guests.
Xun Yan has been practicing here these days, and his cultivation level has improved rapidly. From the middle stage of foundation building he first encountered, he is now only one step away from the golden elixir.
Cheng Yan was once worried that there was something strange about his body, so he carefully studied his spiritual veins, and found that his spiritual veins were actually broadened by the medicinal effects of spiritual plants. This body was far from proportional to his cultivation level.
His body is comparable to the golden elixir stage. As for what level of golden elixir it is, Cheng Yan is not sure yet. In short, as long as his cultivation level can keep up, there is no need to worry about his body.
Without disturbing Xun Yan's practice, Cheng Yan went to her room to rest. There was only a futon placed in her room, which was spotless. Read the book
Cheng Yuan was thinking as he sat down.
She met two of the city lords of the three cities. The city owner of Qiyu City is an elegant female cultivator in the late Jindan stage, and she had some discussions with her about her specially made spiritual weapon. The city lord had a good temperament, and he got along well with her. He didn't look down upon her because of her low cultivation level, but they didn't talk in depth, and Cheng Yan didn't know her well.
The city lord of the manor city is a handsome and handsome man. She has seen it from a distance in Fangshi. According to the praises of the surrounding stall owners, the city lord is fair and sage in dealing with things. There are few injustices in the city under his jurisdiction. . Among the three cities, Manor City has the largest number of people.
As for the Lord of Chrysanthemum City, he presented him with a colorful flowing light cup before they even met. She didn't know for a moment whether this was the city lord's bad taste or another intention?
Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. All the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth.
A few days later, Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan left Fangshi early in the morning.
During this period, they seldom went out and spent most of their time doing business in the market, but occasionally they would go to the nearby mountains to seek opportunities.
Cheng Yuan has made a breakthrough in his cultivation this time, and plans to search for a spiritual plant called Lingshe nearby to stabilize his cultivation.
Not long after the two had been together, they both felt something. They looked at each other and saw something was wrong in each other's eyes.
Someone is following them.
Xun Yan's eyes sharpened: "You wait here, I'll deal with it."
Cheng Yuan stopped him: "No. We don't need to pay attention. Just walk faster."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them dashed away.
In less than a moment, two figures appeared where they were before.
One of them was wearing a green and purple brocade robe, holding a jade feather fan, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Interesting, I've been discovered."
The guard beside him said: "City Lord, do you want to continue chasing?"
"What are you chasing? I am not here for them this time." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said, "But now that we have encountered them, some things can still be done."
His figure flashed and disappeared. Seeing this, the guards had no choice but to chase after him quickly.
Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan came to a riverside and stood one behind the other, looking behind them with burning eyes.
The aura behind him disappeared and appeared, and he really couldn't pretend to be ignorant. Originally, they planned to get rid of him, but they found that this person's cultivation level was much higher than theirs. He hung behind him as if he did it intentionally, and when they thought they had gotten rid of him, he released some aura.
This made them very angry, so they simply stopped by the river to see what the visitor wanted.
After a moment, purple light flashed, and a man came with a fan.
Looking at his dress, he looks like a white-faced scholar, but he is not a poor scholar, he must be from a wealthy family.
While Cheng Yan was looking at this person, the other person was also looking at them.
His eyes swept from Xun Yan in front of Cheng Yuan to Cheng Yuan, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "A monster came out of the demon refining pool, a demon master with low cultivation but great ability. You guys The combination is quite interesting.”
Hearing the word "monster", Xun Yan
I couldn't control my reason at all and rushed out.
The two figures clashed quickly, with several loud bangs and bangs, and Xun Yan was knocked hard into the river, but the opponent only took a few steps back, and then stopped moving.
Cheng Yuan quickly fished Xun Yan out of the river and found that he was not injured before turning around and looking at him warily.
"Senior, is Lord Tailang, the lord of Chrysanthemum City?"
The other party put away his fan and a smile appeared on his face: "Oh? You actually recognize this city lord?"
Cheng Yan shook his head: "I have never met the city lord. I only heard that the city lord of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum has a high-grade spiritual jade fan in his hand, and he is good at controlling the wind."
The reason why he was able to knock Xun Yan away so quickly just now was not just because of his superiority in cultivation. He didn't even use force to bully the weak. He just used strong wind to hinder Xun Yan's progress and was forcibly blown away.
"Haha, yes, it is my city lord. What do you call the little fairy?"
"Junior Cheng Yan, this is a fellow disciple, not a monster."
"Not a monster? Haha, that's right. I just made a mistake." Tai Lang tapped his palm with his fan: "However, this is the first time I have seen a monk who is still conscious after coming out of the demon refining pond."
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yuan and Xun Yan both changed their faces.
"City Lord Tai said he had seen the Demon Refining Pond before?" Cheng Yan looked wary, thinking for a while how to escape unharmed if he took action.
Tailang waved his hand: "Don't be so nervous. This city lord is not one of those evil people. As the lord of a city, there is nothing I have never seen before. A few years ago, someone from Chrysanthemum City came to report the demon refining pond. It was this city lord and the other two The city lords worked together to destroy the nearby demon refining pond. They have seen the power of monsters in the demon refining pond."
"I see." Cheng Yan pretended to be relaxed, and then asked, "I wonder where those people went in the end?"
"Of course they are all dead." Tai Lang stepped forward slowly and said, "We would like to save them, but like the rumors, these people will go crazy once they leave the Demon Refining Pond and cannot be controlled no matter what method they use.
In order to prevent these people from coming out to cause trouble to Zhongzhou, the three of us discussed and decided to kill them completely to eliminate future troubles. "
Cheng Yan said: "I wonder if City Lord Tai has found anything else?"
"I wonder what the little fairy is asking?"
"For example, there are clues about the person behind this, or what exactly is in the demon refining pool?"
Tai Lang said nonchalantly: "I am not interested in these matters, so I leave them to the manor city lord to take care of. If you want to know, you might as well go to the manor city and ask."
"Thank you City Lord Tai for informing me." Cheng Yan cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if there is anything else, Lord City Lord? If nothing happens, we will leave now."
"Hey, little fairy, why are you so anxious? The Lord of this city hasn't finished speaking yet!" Tai Lang blocked Cheng Yan's way in a flash.
Cheng Yan took two steps back and said quietly: "Lord of Tai City, please speak."
