In the vast territory that the Peng River flows through, the largest town is naturally Pengjun, which is named after it, and the second largest city is definitely Yecheng, which is more than 300 miles away.
Although Yecheng is not adjacent to the Peng River, it is located at the pass of two mountains. Several important trade routes from southern Xinjiang to Yue State converge here, so it is also quite prosperous.
On this day, several groups of business travelers carrying large and small bags came into the city. There were constant shouts and dust flying at the city gate.
In the smoke and dust of the market, no one noticed that a simple simple carriage entered the city unhurriedly. This carriage did not go to the most prosperous East Market and Xifang, but stopped at an inn in the northwest corner. .
The visitor asked for a clean side room in the inn and stayed closed all day.
This guest is none other than Liu Yuan, who has been coming here from the countryside for days.
It is said that five days ago, after Liu Yuan hurriedly buried the metal ball, he rushed hundreds of miles non-stop to a village. After that, he immediately sealed off the spiritual power of his body and took back all the ants into his body.
At this time, Liu Yuan was no different from an ordinary person, but due to the effect of beauty care, compared to the farm men in the village, he was more fair and handsome, more like someone's young master.
When the farmer he met on the road saw that he was so good-looking, he did not dare to neglect him and politely invited him to rest in the farmhouse.
Who would have thought that just half a moment later, Liu Yuan, who was under the low eaves, witnessed a spiritual sword flying quickly high in the sky, and he couldn't help but shout that he was in danger.
It seemed that the Dongchuang incident happened faster than expected. This time the Spirit Sword was just a large-scale search for traces of spiritual power. If there was no harvest, there would be a more detailed search. He couldn't take any more risks.
I don’t know what happened to Ren Feng in Pengjun. He must have been secretly monitored. Pengjun must not go back.
Similarly, there are risks in returning to Lingtian Pavilion. If you use the flying escape technique, you will definitely be discovered by the patrolling spirit swords. If you just take the land route, the journey is far away and it will be too conspicuous.
He had nowhere to go for the time being, so let's avoid the limelight first. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with getting as far away from the burial place as possible.
Liu Yuan and the farmer found out that the nearest Yecheng was only two days away. What was even better was that a group of merchants heading to Yecheng were resting in the village today.
Arriving at the largest farm in the village, Liu Yuan was moved by the long-lost atmosphere of life. He saw mules, horses and livestock breathing heavily, villagers were helping the caravan bundle goods, and the strong smell of medicinal herbs emanated from the packages. Coming out, there was a faint aroma of wine coming from several mud-sealed urns.
He found the owner of the caravan and explained that he wanted to hitchhike to Yecheng. The owner saw that he was clean, fair-skinned, and spoke well. Like the farmers, he regarded him as a happy young man who had escaped from a wealthy family. He not only treated him respectfully He was honored to be the guest of honor, and a carriage was specially assigned to him. Although it was simple and inconspicuous, it just avoided the search of several flying swords.
In the first few days in Yecheng, Liu Yuan hid in the inn to avoid the limelight. He also used the Qi Condensation Technique many times to isolate himself from the absorption and induction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even his spiritual thoughts could not be condensed. If a monk came close, The body should not be able to detect it either.
However, this way he is also as if he is half-blind, and all his spiritual senses to the outside world are closed. Except for the five senses such as hearing being more acute, he is no different from ordinary people.
However, trouble soon came to the door.
The waiter of the inn came here. He was ordered by the shopkeeper to inquire about the information. This guest had been hiding in the room for several days. Although he looked like a kid from a rich family, he couldn't keep getting credit.
"Hotel money?"
Liu Yuan frowned. This was a problem. He really didn't have any earthly currency. He would never dare to expose the spiritual stone, and mortals may not know the goods.
"Let's do this," Liu Yuan took out a porcelain bottle, which was a bottle containing ordinary elixirs. "How about I press some porcelain in the shop first?"
"The relationship is good. I'll go and ask the shopkeeper now, thank you, sir, sir, sir," the waiter hurriedly smiled and walked out with the bottle in his hands.
The shopkeeper was not sure of the value of the porcelain vase, so he went to a nearby antique shop and asked an acquaintance of the owner to take a look.
"This is not an ordinary product!" The well-informed boss carefully played with the small porcelain bottle, "The body of this bottle is white and flawless, and the mouth of the bottle is even and smooth like jade. Good product, good product."
It's no wonder that although the bottle containing the elixir is a common thing, it was brought to the main peak by an affiliated family from the periphery of Lingtian Pavilion, and the materials used are naturally of the highest quality.
Liu Yuan didn't know this, but the inn was more respectful and courteous to him. If they didn't mention the money, he would be clean.
Just like this, a few more days passed. Since his spiritual sense was closed, he could only frequently secretly look out the window. Fortunately, the marrow cleansing and body training made his eyesight far better than ordinary people.
The spirit sword is still patrolling the sky, appearing several times a day high above the window of the inn.
It seems that Yecheng, as one of the few large cities with a radius of thousands of miles, is also targeted by Nianjian Pavilion like Pengjun.
He was right in his guess. After Nianjian Pavilion received the summons from Lu Yuanzi, it paid unprecedented attention to it. This was not just because of the loss of three foundation-building disciples, nor because their master Bu Xinzi had a high status in the pavilion. But there is another important reason. The three of them brought a large amount of Yuanjing Copper with them at that time.
Yuan Jing Copper is a necessary item for refining magic weapons. Most of the core monks in the Golden Core Stage of Nianjian Pavilion use swords as magic weapons. The greater the proportion of Yuanjing copper in the magic weapon and the higher the quality, the more powerful and spiritual it will be.
At the time of the incident, the three of them happened to be in an underground fire within a thousand miles of Peng County. They were carrying a large amount of Yuanjing Copper, which was accumulated by Master Bu Xinzi for many years. He hoped that the Earthfire could improve the grade of Yuanjing Copper.
Exploring the underwater cave was originally a matter of course, so the three of them were cautious. Unexpectedly, they fell into Liu Yuan's trap, and the copper essence was indestructible and gathered into a ball under the guidance of the gold-type soul ants.
Lu Yuanzi also knew the characteristics of Yuanjing Bronze, and that such innate creations could not disappear out of thin air. He waited for reinforcements within the same day and firmly controlled the territory thousands of miles away. In his opinion, Lingtian Pavilion is the most suspect, and those who can use magic weapons are at least in the Golden Core stage. They should not lower their status for these magic weapon materials and destroy the superficial peace between the two pavilions to cause trouble.
Therefore, the most likely ones are the casual cultivators of the Golden Core Stage in Southern Xinjiang.
With this conjecture, Nianjian Pavilion quickly deployed and controlled thousands of miles of territory according to the speed of the Golden Core monks, and searched from south to north. The aura of Yuanjing Copper was difficult to eliminate. They believed that they would be able to find this daring guy. .
Fortunately, there was no extensive search within hundreds of miles of the interior, and the location where Liu Yuan buried the metal ball was spared.
In this situation, the control of Yecheng continued. Liu Yuan occasionally saw flying swords flying in the sky, and couldn't help but secretly worry.
Although it is only his external incarnation that is stranded outside, it is absolutely impossible to give up after cultivating his incarnation for many years and still having a small part of his spiritual thoughts.
The avatar doesn't dare to meditate and practice at this moment, so is it just waiting?
On this day, Liu Yuan was sitting in his room, but the sound next door aroused his interest.
