"Oh..." The disappointment on the old man's face flashed away. The reason why he gathered two groups was to exchange for more spiritual stones like last time. Unexpectedly, this man used ordinary high-grade spiritual stones this time. Stone comes to trade.
"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist, I'm going to get the monster pill." After saying that, the old man walked towards the back room.
Grab, grab, grab. Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the old man's back and said nothing.
After about a full stick of incense, the old man returned:
"Each monster pill is protected by formations. It took a little time, so please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
"What's the matter? Brother Tao, thank you for your hard work!" Zhang Xiaosheng's attitude was also extremely polite.
The old man handed the ten boxes to Zhang Xiaosheng together. Remembering the words of the Venerable just now, he took out ten high-grade spiritual stones from the bag that Zhang Xiaosheng took out and said:
"I said before that fellow Taoists will get a 10% discount when they come here. This will naturally apply. I ask fellow Taoists to take back these ten spiritual stones."
He did say this last time, and Zhang Xiaosheng did not show any pretense. He reached out to take the spirit stone and thanked him again:
"Thank you, Brother Dao! I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
嘘戅chaiweng戅. "Fellow Taoist, wait!"
"Brother Taoist, do you have any other instructions?"
"Well...if fellow Taoist can still have spiritual stones of the same quality as last time, I would like to ask fellow Taoist to give priority to the things in our store, is that okay?"
"Don't worry, Brother Dao, there is no 10% discount elsewhere." Zhang Xiaosheng chuckled, but in fact he did not agree to anything.
The old man understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. If there was a 10% discount elsewhere, he wouldn't necessarily come to us? But he still smiled and said:
"My store still has confidence and strength. Fellow Taoist friends must come here often."
"Absolutely." After saying this, Zhang Xiaosheng said goodbye and left.
The old man returned to the back room again and said:
"Sir, I have left. Do you need to send someone to follow me secretly?"
The man who was called the Venerable pondered for a moment and said:
"The finals of the alchemy competition are coming soon, so keep an eye on this place. I have a hunch that I will meet this person again!"
"yes."
Zhang Xiaosheng left the shop and walked around the street a few times. He didn't find anyone following him, so he quickly rushed back to the inn, where An Qiuhe and Mo Ziyuan were already waiting.
The three of them came out together and saw Zhang Xiaosheng turning directly to the east. An Qiuhe couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't we come in through the west gate?"
"It takes too long to go through the city. Let's go out through the east gate and then go around outside."
"Yes." An Qiuhe nodded and asked no more questions. After all, he could only fly at low speed in the city.
Because the inn was located in the east of the city, An Qiuhe took Mo Ziyuan and Zhang Xiaosheng beside him. The three of them flew out of the city gate at low speed for only an hour.
After leaving the city, Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly asked:
"Do you still have the jade slips that you participated in the competition with you?"
An Qiuhe turned his hand, and the jade slip appeared in his hand and said:
"After all, you have participated in the semi-finals, why don't you keep a souvenir?"
Mo Ziyuan also took it out from the pouch on his waist, seemingly for the same purpose.
"Destroy it quickly, I'm afraid this thing is not clean."
"No! It's just a high-grade Qi Refining Pill." An Qiuhe said in surprise. He remembered what he had told Zhang Xiaosheng before about the mysterious disappearance of those who had won the lottery, but those were all low-level people. He may have been targeted by someone who received a high-level elixir, or he may have been entrusted by the Wandan Pavilion. However, he, a seventh-level golden elixir monk, only received a top-grade Qi Refining Pill. It is necessary to keep an eye on this drizzle of things. Covering yourself?
"Of course it's not aimed at you." Zhang Xiaosheng explained helplessly:
Xixi Zhui Wen Xixi. "I refined the best elixir in the semi-finals. There is no reason for Wandan Pavilion not to pay attention. If I don't participate in tomorrow's finals, will I send someone to chase me?"
"I haven't seen anyone watching around in the past few days. It's not like we at the Golden Core stage can't miss it, but if it's the Nascent Soul stage monks who are watching in person, then you think too highly of yourself!" An Qiuhe still didn't believe it. .
"That's not true. Anyone who comes to participate in the competition will give up easily since they have entered the finals. Moreover, they are capable of refining the best elixirs. Entering the finals either for fame or profit will definitely not give up halfway, so they usually I definitely won’t pay too much attention to it, but my situation is different. I made the best elixir in the semi-finals, and suddenly disappeared in the finals. If you were the organizer, would you be suspicious?"
"Okay." An Qiuhe was defeated. Zhang Xiaosheng was very thoughtful and it was really possible to say this. "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Follow me." Zhang Xiaosheng took the lead and flew south quickly. An Qiuhe quickly took Mo Ziyuan to catch up.
The few people fled for more than an hour, and were already thousands of miles away from Shendan City. Zhang Xiaosheng took the jade slips from the two of them, turned over with his right hand, and found a big hole on the ground. He threw the jade slips into it, and then He filled up the big hole and said:
"We will first go to the outer edge of the Meteor Immortal Mountain Range, and then go all the way north from the outer edge."
An Qiuhe felt that Zhang Xiaosheng was too cautious, but he still followed the good advice, and the three of them flew east again.
The periphery of the Meteor Immortal Mountains.
Countless monks in the foundation-building stage fight monster beasts here just to hunt for monster pills, which they can either absorb for themselves or exchange for spiritual stones to purchase other cultivation resources. There are groups of three, teams of five, small groups of more than a dozen people, and daring solo travelers. In short, countless monsters are skinned to obtain elixirs here every day, and a large number of human monks are also raped by monsters. The beast's fangs and claws tore it into pieces.
Monks in the Foundation Establishment stage are not allowed to go deep into the mountains for hundreds of miles, and monks at the Golden Core stage are not allowed to go deep into the mountains for thousands of miles. This is a rule left over for thousands of years. There seems to be a deep tacit understanding between humans and monsters. The Golden Core stage monsters will not come to hunt human monks within a hundred miles of the periphery, and the human Golden Core stage monks will not attack the Foundation Establishment stage monsters within a hundred miles of the periphery. The beast takes action.
Whether it is the transformed monsters in the Meteor Immortal Mountains or the neighboring first-class top sects Wandan Pavilion, Jian Sect and other human bosses, they all adopt a default attitude towards this situation and seem to be maintaining a subtle attitude. balance.
At this time, Zhang Xiaosheng and the others were flying north quickly at a position that was barely a hundred miles away.
This is the dividing line between the Golden Core stage and the Foundation Establishment stage. There are very few human monks in either the Golden Core stage or the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if monsters from the early Golden Core stage occasionally appear, they will be frightened by An Qiuhe's late Golden Core aura. They all hid far away, and how could they dare to step forward to cause trouble, so Zhang Xiaosheng and the others moved forward extremely fast without any hindrance.
In just one day, he had already flown thousands of miles away.
But at this time, in a main hall of Shendan City, the Jindan Stage monk of Wandan Pavilion who had asked for a bribe from Zhang Xiaosheng was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic and saying:
"Disciple realizes his mistake. Disciple will never dare to do it again!"
Five or six people stood on both sides, standing upright and not squinting. Sitting above him was an old man with a long beard, his eyebrows were all white, and his beard was long and hanging down. He was wearing a white Taoist robe with a huge unknown elixir printed in the center, which was full of fairy spirit. grab, grab, grab
"It's just a small move by the sect below. As a disciple of Wandan Pavilion, you are so greedy and ruined the reputation of Wandan Pavilion!" The old man's tone was calm, but he was very majestic. The kneeling Jindan disciple just kept kowtowing.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the old man felt unhappy again. With a flick of his right hand, a huge wooden hand suddenly appeared next to the golden elixir disciple and slapped him directly. The golden elixir disciple was slapped in mid-air, and then was hit again. The vines stretching out from the ground were pulled back and fell heavily to the ground.
The golden elixir man didn't even care about his injuries. He struggled to his knees again and continued to kowtow to beg for mercy. It turned out that this was not the first time such an encounter had happened.
The anger in the old man's heart subsided slightly, but he still felt disgusted and said:
"Carefully make another copy of the faces of the two people you saw. If you can find them, you will be rewarded! Go down!"
"Yes, yes, disciple, go now." The Jindan disciple crawled out of the hall as if he had been granted amnesty.
The few Nascent Soul cultivators below also dared not express their anger.
Two of them are the two Nascent Soul overhauls that Zhang Xiaosheng participated in the semi-finals and were responsible for supervising the Jindan area. At this time, they are all trembling with fear at the early stage of the Nascent Soul. I really don’t know who the old man is. He has such a great power. deterrence.
It turned out that the finals started today, and these two Nascent Souls were proudly showing off to others that their Eastern District had produced four powerful beings who had refined the best elixirs. When they identified them one by one, they discovered that The monk who had refined the top quality Peiyuan Pill had not yet been seen, and he did not show up until the start of the finals.
Now the two knew that something was wrong. This had never happened before. They didn't care about being noticed at the moment and immediately located the contestant's location through the jade slip. However, they only found one that said "See you later." " note.厺厽 厺厽
The news had spread among the internal Yuanying monks. Dan Chenzi, the great elder of the inner sect of Wandan Pavilion who came to preside over the conference, also heard the news and immediately summoned the two of them and asked about the specific situation. Then what happened just now scene.嘘戅戅
The two Yuanying monks had already engraved Zhang Xiaosheng's appearance after Dan Chenzi asked, and made countless copies and distributed them. They began to secretly investigate and search all over the city. At this time, they did not know that Zhang Xiaosheng and An Qiuhe were together. .
During the investigation, the Jindan disciple who asked for bribes was quickly caught and confessed the fact that he had asked for bribes. Two high-grade spiritual stones that were reluctant to be used were also handed back. Yuan Dan also appeared here at this time, and everyone knew that Zhang Xiaosheng had a companion.
"Report!"
Another Jindan disciple entered the hall and said:
"Reporting to the Great Elder, the person recorded on the jade slip left the east city gate at noon yesterday and left to the south. There were two other people with him, one of whom was a ninth-level Qi Refining boy, and a gatekeeper who could not detect the realm. "
The old man at the top is Dan Chenzi, the great elder of the inner sect of Wandan Pavilion, with a peak cultivation level of the ninth level of Yuanying. He has also refined the top-quality elixir of the Yuanying stage. Although it was only once, it was enough for him to stand in front of him. The pinnacle of the alchemy world.
Dan Chenzi was still swaying over the top-quality Yuanyuan Pill, sighing slightly. It was round, smooth, and full of content. It was so perfect.
After hearing the news, Dan Chenzi ordered again:
"Stop standing around, you all go! There is also a Qi Refining Stage monk on the fourth level of Golden Core. He can't fly very far in one day and must be captured as soon as possible!"
"Yes." Several Yuanying monks standing below quickly walked out of the hall and flew towards the east of the city.
