Chapter 366: Loyalty and wealth
Anfu Inn is not big, but fortunately the rooms have low-level protective arrays, so they are fairly safe.
There are also some very practical magical objects in the room, such as a wooden bucket for bathing, which can activate the rune array above to boil water for disinfection, a toilet that leads to an unknown place, etc.
Another example is the bed that comes with a cleaning spell. By inputting mana, you can clean all the bedding on the bed.
In addition, there is a silent magic circle, which can isolate outside sounds and even act as a curtain to reduce the brightness of the room.
Gao Xian has researched it all, and it is a routine operation for most sects to bring the magic weapon into life. It is very rare for a small inn to have complete supporting living instruments.
He walked along the way, from Qingyun City to Tongtian City and Longhu City. These major sect cities were very prosperous and lively, but the details of life were still very backward and rough, far inferior to this small inn.
Gao Xian felt that it was not that the inn had too many intentions, but that Wanfeng City was very developed in all aspects, and the convenient living magic tools naturally spread downwards.
He has always liked the concept of bringing magic weapons into daily life and improving the quality of life.
Regrettably, most cultivators in this world are still busy and fighting for cultivation resources. Basic survival issues are not guaranteed, and there is no way to improve the quality of life.
The public security at the bottom of Weicheng is extremely poor, but life is very convenient. This is also the benefit of a big city.
On the other hand, Wanfeng City is actually built in the middle of a mountain, and the space is small. It must operate reasonably and efficiently to maintain basic life order.
The most important thing is that the spiritual energy here is full, which is one level higher than that of Qingyun Sect.
The monks living here, even if they don't practice hard, their cultivation level will increase day by day. Even ordinary people can live twenty or thirty years longer under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Gao Xian feels that Qingyun Sect is more comfortable. He occupies a hilltop alone and has a palace-style villa. Even if there are some inconveniences in life, it is much more comfortable than here.
After staying in the room for a while, Gao Xian decided to go out for a walk.
He was very interested in the local entertainment life. After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up the idea of going to the Fengyue place to investigate.
The main reason is that the Fengyue place is more chaotic. If he rushes there alone, he will not only be easily killed, but also easily cause conflicts.
Gao Xian is not afraid of trouble, but he doesn't want to cause trouble at this time. He didn't know anything, and he didn't know where to run if something happened.
Just now he didn't advance and prevail because he considered that the opponent couldn't have the Nine Transformation Qianyuan Formation Refining Pill, so even if he killed him, it would be in vain.
Instead of doing this, it is better to give the other party a few days. The other party just wanted to fool him, so he had to prepare something.
Taking this time, he can also get a feel for the local situation.
You can't go to romantic places, but you can still go to wine shops and teahouses.
Gao Xian called the boy and gave him ten low-grade spiritual stones in exchange for one million Wanfeng Talisman coins.
Although Wanfeng City is a big place, it is not convenient to use spirit stones for daily expenses. The sect must cast talisman money, firstly, to facilitate buying and selling, and secondly, to profit from it, and to regulate and control the market through talisman money.
Wanfeng talisman coins are also made of gold mixed with brass. There are square holes in the circle, and there are incised words written by Wanfeng Zong on both sides.
Gao Xian did not let the waiter work in vain and gave him ten Wanfeng Talisman coins.
The boy who received the reward would have a smile on his face. It can be said that he knows everything and can express everything.
After asking about some basic local information, Gao Xian went out to a liquor store on another street.
At night, Gao Xian returned to the inn.
Most of the wine shops he went to were filled with Qi practitioners, and you could learn a lot by inviting anyone to drink a few glasses of wine.
To Gao Xian's surprise, Tian Yunong didn't come the next day. He went to the liquor store to hang out for another day.
Getting the same answer from different people, the boss of the twelfth floor of Weicheng called Xiang Zhengye.
This Jindan Zhenren is said to be more than three hundred years old and is the true successor of the Wanfeng Sect. No one dared to say it openly, but Gao Xian could tell from their few words that everyone was quite disgusted with Xiang Zhengye.
It is normal for lower-level cultivators to hate and envy high-level cultivators. It's just that everyone agrees that Feng Criticism is not good, so Xiang Zhengye is really not good at it.
Xiang Zhengye also opened a gold event, which took over all the big business on the 12th floor.
He Shengye is a small trading company under the jurisdiction of Jinshenghui. According to the people, neither Xiang Shouyi nor Tian Yunong is good.
Gao Xian believed that the masses were always discerning.
This group of people are very familiar with the situation on the twelfth floor, and they have a rough idea of things beyond the twelfth floor.
Gao Xian asked many people about Wanbao Tower, but they all gave vague answers.
Wanbao Tower is located in Doucheng, Beiqi City, which is also the most prosperous and bustling city among the twenty-eight cities. It is said that there are two to three million monks.
It costs a lot of spiritual stones to go in and out of each city. It is difficult for this group of people to support themselves. They can't even get into the upper echelons of Weicheng, let alone go to the outer cities.
Gao Xian understood this very well. Even though they were all in Wanfeng City, these low-level monks didn't really understand this big city.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that Tian Yunong came.
“Fellow Taoist, the Nine Transformations elixir is too difficult to obtain. It took me a few days to get the correct information. I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long...”
Tian Yunong greeted with a smile and apologized politely.
“Do you believe it?” Gao Xian asked.
“Come with me, let's go to my place and talk in detail.”
"good."
Tian Yunong took Gao Xian to the backyard of He Shengxing. There was a magic circle in the yard to block the inside and outside. As soon as Gao Xian entered, he found that the magic circle was running, and there was also a faint smell of incense in the yard.
Tian Yunong seemed to notice Gao Xian's vigilance. He explained: "It's not safe here. There are thieves everywhere. We can only activate the magic circle."
When Gao Xian sat down, Tian Yunong asked casually: "Fellow Taoist, you must have heard a lot of bad things about us in the past two days."
He smiled bitterly as he spoke and sighed: "Even though we are all neighbors, we have a good business with Shengsheng, so naturally we have robbed many people of their money. They all want us to die, so how can we say anything good..."
Gao Xian was noncommittal, which is not unreasonable. Of course, others would not have good things to say about competitors in the same industry.
The two of them were talking in the yard. In the main room, Xiang Shouyi held a three-inch square bronze mirror in his hand and silently used his magic power to activate the restrictions in the bronze mirror.
With a little inspiration given by his ancestor, he could barely activate this spiritual weapon.
The circles of runes on the bronze mirror shine with aura, reflecting the appearance of Taiyuan's avatar. The three natal auras flowing in the avatar are clearly displayed in the bronze mirror.
Including several magic weapons on the clone's body, they were all illuminated by the concentration mirror.
“Later stage of foundation building, second-level high-grade robes and swords.”
Xiang Shouyi looked at the scene reflected on the bronze mirror, grinning happily.
At last, his work was not in vain. This person was in the late stage of foundation building. Not to mention how many spiritual stones he had on him, his robes and instruments were worth a lot of money.
Xiang Shouyi confirmed that he was a highly virtuous person and there was no further hesitation. He hid his left hand holding the concentration mirror in his sleeve, opened the door and strode out.
“This is fellow Taoist Wu…”
Hands over to Shouyi, most of his hands are hidden in his sleeves, so he is not afraid of revealing his calming mirror. He said: "I am He Shengxing, the great shopkeeper, Xiang Shouyi."
Gao Xian returned the favor with his hand in hand: "Nice to meet you."
Xiang Shouyi warmly greeted Gao Xian to sit down, and said to Tian Yunong: "We have a guest, let's have a drink and prepare the food and wine."
This was also the secret code he and Tian Yunong had agreed upon in advance. Tian Yunong understood it immediately, and he turned around and left in a hurry.
After a while, the table was filled with wine and food, exuding a strong aroma of wine and food.
These wines and dishes are all made by monsters and spiritual creatures, full of aura, and are expensive.
Xiang Shouyi and Tian Yunong repeatedly urged them to drink, but Gao Xian only drank one glass and then stopped.
Xiang Shouyi and Tian Yunong didn't care. They specialized in this, so it was impossible to poison the wine. That was too low-level.
Mainly used as incense for nourishing the spirits, this kind of incense can soothe the soul, purify the aura, and drive away evil spirits.
It is originally an excellent spiritual tool for spiritual cultivation. When paired with the rich aroma of Jintai Niang, it will make people drunk. Drinking more alcohol will relieve this drunkenness.
This kind of martial art is simple but very practical.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, Xiang Shouyi said: "Doucheng Wanbao Tower has the Nine-turn Qianyuan Transformation Divine Refining Pill. It was originally going to be auctioned at the auction at the beginning of the month. If you take four hundred high-grade spiritual stones, we can buy it directly. …”
Tian Yunong smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist, this is only due to internal relations. It won't be cheap if it goes to the auction. Four hundred high-grade spiritual stones may not be available."
Gao Xian looked indifferent and noncommittal.
This made Tian Yunong unable to laugh anymore. He looked at Xiang Shouyi opposite. The big shopkeeper's eyes flashed fiercely, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, giving Tian Yunong the signal to take action.
He then activated his calming mirror to shine on Gao Xian. At the same time, energy burst out from his whole body, and he drew his sword in his right hand and struck Gao Xian straight.
Xiang Shouyi practiced the Yuanyang Jue. When the Gang Qi was activated, the red Gang Qi all over his body shone like the sun, with great power.
The Xuanyang Sword in his hand is also a second-order high-grade sword. Under the urging of Yuanyang Jue, the long sword turned into a blazing red light, which was extremely sharp.
Tian Yunong, who was sitting on the other side, also pulled out the Flying Fish Sword. This was actually a flying sword. The Flying Fish Sword hit Gao Xian's neck like a smart herring.
The two of them took action at the same time, with almost no warning.
But when the two of them had a sudden thought, Gao Xian already knew it. He originally wanted to chat with the two of them more, but he didn't expect them to be so impatient.
The spiritual light from the calming mirror shone on Gao Xian's face, but it could not deter him from his bright sword heart.
Gao Xian casually pulled out the Qingfeng sword and flicked it lightly. The Qingfeng flicked the Flying Fish Sword first, killing all the consciousness on the flying sword.
The flowing Qingfeng made a semicircle and landed on the Red Sun Sword. As soon as the two swords crossed each other, the blazing sword light was deflected away.
The Qingfeng followed the flow of the blazing Yang Yang, and penetrated Xiang Shouyi's eyebrows with a sword.
Xiang Shouyi's cultivation is very good, and his Yuanyang energy is blazing and domineering. However, under the heart of Gao Xian's Tongming Sword, one can see that the density of Yuanyang Qi is uneven and there are obvious gaps.
His Fengyun Sword Classic has reached the state of master perfection. Even though the world is big, there is no one who can surpass his swordsmanship at the foundation level.
At this moment, he drew his sword freely, and the green-edged sword was like mercury pouring down the ground. Birds returned to their nests, and spiritual fish entered their caves. A gentle sword followed the gap of Yuan Yang's energy and went straight in. With one sword, Xiang Shouyi's vitality was wiped out.
Xiang Shouyi looked at Gao Xian in great horror. He only saw the cyan sword light moving around, and he didn't know how he was hit by the sword.
Gao Xian raised his glass and gestured to Xiang Shouyi: "This is a toast to my Taoist friends. Thank you both for your warm hospitality and your kindness and wealth. You are such good friends!"
Xiang Shouyi didn't even have the strength to be angry. His consciousness was falling towards the darkness. Before he lost consciousness, he saw the red line blooming on the neck of Tian Yunong opposite him, and the head with a sly smile suddenly rolled down...
Gao Xian had already stood up, avoiding the spurting blood.
He first helped Xiang Shouyi handle the funeral affairs, um, packed up all the magical instruments and storage bags.
The bronze mirror in the opponent's sleeve is obviously a third-level spiritual weapon. This surprised Gao Xian somewhat, but he didn't care.
After settling their affairs, Gao Xian received forty-three high-grade spiritual stones, several third-level elixirs, and several magic weapons from his two good friends.
Excluding the bronze mirror, the total value of everything is about two hundred high-grade spiritual stones.
This is also the total wealth of the two Jijis, which can be said to be rich.
Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this. It was enough to buy a Nine-turn Qianyuan Formation Refining Pill. The drink was not in vain. The two good friends really gave up their wealth!
Gao Xian packed up his things and was about to leave when a man suddenly came into the yard.
This man has silver hair, red eyes, and a red-gold robe that shines brightly, which is very eye-catching.
The aura around the white-haired man is fiery but restrained and perfect, showing his strong cultivation.
Judging from the other party's aura, it turned out to be a golden elixir.
“Xiang Zhengye!”
Gao Xian had heard someone else say something about this person's appearance, and he knew it was Xiang Zhengye as soon as he saw the other person's appearance, but this guy came too fast.
Gao Xian was a little surprised, but there was nothing to panic about. At worst, I'll kill another one, but I don't know how many spiritual stones this one has...
Xiang Zhengye looked Gao Xian up and down with his red eyes. There was a bit of scrutiny and curiosity in his eyes, but there was no murderous hostility.
This made Gao Xian somewhat curious, what does this golden elixir mean?
Xiang Zhengye glanced at the blood scattered on the ground, and he suddenly smiled: "Good swordsmanship, good swordsmanship! I wonder where my fellow Taoist came from?"
Gao Xian responded silently. It was easy to lie, but there was no need to pay attention to the other party.
Xiang Zhengye was not angry either. He smiled and said, "Xiang Shouyi, this little thief, haha, is so useless that I make fellow Taoists laugh."
“If you have anything to say to the real person, please say it directly.” Gao Xian was impatient and talked in circles with the other party.
"Fellow Taoist, although they are ineffective, it would be too much for you to kill them with one sword."
Xiang Zhengye said slowly: "The so-called killing to pay for one's life and debts to pay back money has been the truth since ancient times."
Gao Xian smiled and said nothing. He didn't want to argue with the other party, it was pointless.
Xiang Zhengye thought that he would handle Gao Xian steadily and didn't care much about the other person's arrogant posture.
He then said: "I see that fellow Taoist swordsmanship is superb, and I cherish your talent and ability. I am willing to give you a chance."
"Oh." Gao Xian nodded slightly. He was also a little curious about what the other party wanted to do after talking so much, and what he liked about him.
Xiang Zhengye added: "You do something for me. As long as it's done and Xiang Shouyi's matter is cancelled, I can also give you three Nine-turn Qianyuan Formation Refining Pill as a reward... How about it?"
