Hearing Elder Nangong's decisive answer, Zhang Xiaosheng felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, Nangong continued to preach:
"Whether it is one-way or two-way, just building the formation costs a lot of money. Even if the cost is put aside, people must be sent to guard the formation after it is completed. The level of the monks dispatched is too high, and the sects of the nearby forces are worried, so they dispatched If the monk's realm is lower, it will be difficult to protect him, and this is just one of them."
"Secondly, if another sect wants to install a teleportation array in the hinterland of your sect, would you be willing?"
Zhang Xiaosheng replied without hesitation:
"I don't want to."
"That's it. No one wants to install another sect's teleportation array in their own sect. If a large number of high-level monks are suddenly teleported, wouldn't they be unprepared?"
"But shouldn't there be some exchanges or transactions between sects? It's so convenient to have the teleportation array."
"The cost of one transmission is too high, and the income from the transaction may not be enough to make up for the consumption. Besides, if the distance between sects is relatively close, three or five days of cultivation like this old man will be up. If the distance is too far, it will not be returned." Is there a Tiandao City? Why bother looking far away from the near?"
Well, Zhang Xiaosheng has given up completely now.
I was still thinking about riding on the teleportation array all the way. I dare not say whether my more than 100 high-grade spiritual stones are enough for a golden elixir period teleportation. Even if I have money, I may not have a teleportation array for myself to use.
I really don’t know how there is a teleportation array at the bottom of the Five Elements Sect Spiritual Mine.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaosheng asked again:
"Senior Nangong, with your cultivation, how many days will it take for us to go to Lingming Jiao Pond?"
"I'm not good at speed. If we fly with all our strength, it will take another day and a half to leave the Tianji Pavilion. If we don't stop at Tiandao City, we only need to take a slight detour and it will take another day and a half to reach Lingming Jiao Pond. , three days in total.”
"Senior Nangong, are you going to stay in Tiandao City?"
"I'm not going. I'm not thinking that you haven't seen the majesty of Tiandao City. You must be interested in seeing it."
"Senior Nangong, aren't you in a hurry?"
"My little friend, you can call me Senior Nan, or just Senior, or Elder. That will make it easier for me to hear."
Um... Zhang Xiaosheng was startled and blurted out:
"Isn't your surname Nangong?"
Nangong's face stiffened slightly and said:
"My surname is Nan Minggong."
All right……
"Senior Nan, it's this junior who offended me." Zhang Xiaosheng apologized quickly. That's right. He's a senior, and it's so impolite for you to keep shouting your full name.
"It doesn't matter." Nangong waved his hand and said:
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just taking you along the way, so whether you go to Tiandao City or not depends entirely on your wishes."
"Then I won't go, junior." Zhang Xiaosheng replied decisively.
"Why?"
"No spirit stone."
Nangong hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Isn't that very heroic just now?"
Zhang Xiaosheng was speechless. It turned out that you, the old man, had followed him at that time, so he confessed honestly:
"There are only one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones in this junior's storage bag, all of which were given to the previous outer disciple."
Nangong seemed a little surprised. Is there really no spirit stone left?
"Senior, do you want to say that I am poor and generous? I am poor, but I also know that promises must be kept. People cannot keep their promises. Since you have promised others, you must keep it."
[The reputation of Nangong, the great elder of Tianji Pavilion, is +400, and his friendliness is 2800/3000]
After listening to what Zhang Xiaosheng said, Nangong nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, it is well said that people cannot stand without trust."
Oh, the reputation has finally come out. It seems that I got the name wrong before and the system didn't recognize it. However, this reputation has almost reached the level of respect, which surprised Zhang Xiaosheng.
I'm afraid it's mainly because of Guan Fuzi. Guan Fuzi takes such good care of him. This Nangong elder, the upgraded version of Luo Xuan, naturally has a good impression of him. However, the contact time is still short, so there won't be too much affection. He has a high reputation value. After all, he is also a Yuanying boss. If we look at the strength comparison between Liu Tianyu and Luo Xuan, I am afraid that this elder Nangong is at least a ninth-level Yuanying boss, or he is simply at the peak of the Yuanying.
It seems like we need to brush up on this big shot’s reputation on the road.
While Zhang Xiaosheng was constantly looking for various topics to understand some of the current situation in the world of immortality, and also to increase Nangong's reputation, Guan Fuzi settled down in Tianji Pavilion and flew out. The direction turned out to be... Hengduan Mountains!
…
Three days later, at the edge of the Lingming Jiao Pond area, Nangong's escape speed gradually slowed down, and he sent a message to Zhang Xiaosheng who was practicing:
"arrive."
Zhang Xiaosheng slowly stopped his cultivation state, stood up from a bone of a giant fan, and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, senior."
"It's not hard. It feels a little quieter without you talking." Nangong said calmly.
Zhang Xiaosheng was embarrassed for a while.
When he was on the road, Zhang Xiaosheng asked a lot of questions in order to increase Nangong's reputation. The effect was indeed good at first, but when the reputation value increased to Friendly 2999, it didn't increase at all.
Of course, Nangong was not impatient, and answered everything Zhang Xiaosheng asked, but his reputation did not increase at all, and the system did not prompt any reason.
Slowly, Zhang Xiaosheng came back to his senses and estimated that his method of pure brushing had a limit to the growth of reputation, and it could not reach a higher level.
After understanding, Zhang Xiaosheng asked tentatively if he could practice. Nangong seemed to have been granted amnesty. He quickly took out a fan-shaped magic weapon and waved it directly, making it bigger in the wind. Then Nangong sat cross-legged on the fan and controlled it, while Zhang Xiaosheng was The fan bone at the back jumped horizontally several times, and it felt strange and strange. This was the first time he saw a magic weapon!
After admiring it for a while, I randomly picked a fan bone in the back and sat down to practice.
Nangong looked back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When he came, Guan Fuzi confessed that Zhang Xiaosheng was very important to Tianji Pavilion. Although he didn't say it clearly, he knew the results of the divination and roughly guessed it, so he also attached great importance to Zhang Xiaosheng, but Zhang Xiaosheng's current level was too low. , I really don’t have much in common with him.
But Zhang Xiaosheng didn't seem to think so. He asked questions along the way. It wasn't that Nangong was impatient, but that Zhang Xiaosheng wanted to compliment you openly or secretly. It was really unbearable for Nangong. At first, Nangong didn't react. But after a few times, I finally came to my senses. Could this guy be trying to get close to me?
Nangong couldn't help but feel helpless. You really don't need to trick him...but he couldn't say it directly. He could only explain it with all his heart. When Zhang Xiaosheng finally remembered to practice, Nangong really felt a sense of relief.
If Zhang Xiaosheng knew about it, he would be depressed to death. No wonder the reputation value doesn't increase or drop, it's fine!
When passing through the edge area of Tiandao City, Zhang Xiaosheng exited the cultivation state and looked from a distance, only to see numerous shops and markets below, like matchboxes buckled on the ground. And very far away, there was a faint black shadow reaching into the sky.
"That's Tiandao City." Nangong's voice sounded in time. He looked at Zhang Xiaosheng with a half-smile and said, "If you want to go, I can take you around, but only Nascent Soul and above are qualified to fly in the sky in Tiandao City." escape."
"Senior, no need. We have more business to do. I will go to Tiandao City." Zhang Xiaosheng took another look and continued to sit down and start practicing.
Even though the system reported that Nangong's reputation had been raised to respect, he ignored it.
Nangong nodded slightly and said no more. He sat down cross-legged and controlled the fan-shaped magic weapon to fly. He didn't know what he was planning at the same time. At his level, he no longer needed to practice. He just had spare life to wait for the day when the end came. This is not a kind of suffering.
At this time, they finally arrived near the Lingming Jiao Pond, and it was no longer convenient to fly away quickly, so Nangong woke up Zhang Xiaosheng, put away the magic weapon, and lowered the altitude with him, only flying at a low speed about thirty feet above the ground.
"Senior Nan, you said before that the Lingming Jiao is no match for you. You must be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, right?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked curiously.
Nangong shook his head and said:
"There are also big differences at the peak of Nascent Soul stage. For example, the Pavilion Master is several times stronger than me, but I am afraid that the Pavilion Master is no match for Lingming Jiao."
"The strength of Lingming Jiao is so terrifying?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked in surprise.
"At the same level, monsters already have a greater advantage. Although they practice slowly, they have longer lifespans. As long as they break through to the Nascent Soul, most of them can turn into human form. Although they cannot use human skills, they will also have some natal skills. Dharma, depending on the race, is different in strength and weakness, but as long as it can transform into success, it will definitely not be easy for others."
Zhang Xiaosheng still doesn’t know much about Nascent Soul stage monsters. After all, the most Liu Tianyu has ever seen before is the Golden Core stage monsters. Therefore, in Zhang Xiaosheng’s impression, monsters and humanoids seem to be somewhat unrelated, and Guan Fuzi had previously seen When talking about the transformed monsters in the Hengduan Mountains, Zhang Xiaosheng didn't feel very strongly because they were relatively far away.
At this time, approaching Lingming Jiao Pond, after Nangong mentioned it again, Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly felt a faint pressure, as if something was staring at him, and he couldn't help but look around.
After Nangong saw it, he said:
"Don't be too nervous. The Lingming Jiao will not leave the water. As long as you don't get too close, you will be fine on land. Although the Jiao Pond is very large, it is even larger than the sphere of influence of some first-rate sects. , but the spirit dragon will appear in any area at any time, so this is also a forbidden area."
"Senior, aren't we going to the Jiao Pond?" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not." Nangong glanced at Zhang Xiaosheng, as if to say, I just said that I can't beat him, didn't you hear it.
"Senior, when you get here, will you have to do something? If it is inconvenient, I will say goodbye." Zhang Xiaosheng still clearly remembered that Nangong said that he was just taking him along for a while. Moreover, the closer he got to the edge of the Jiao Pond, The feeling of coercion became stronger and stronger, making Zhang Xiaosheng very uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter, I'll be here soon. Since I'm here, you might as well meet me." Nangong rarely refused Zhang Xiaosheng's request to leave.
Zhang Xiaosheng had no choice but to give up after hearing this and continued to follow Nangong and slowly escape.
