Chapter 129: Strange Treasures
"Brother Xu's name is truly well-known. I didn't expect that we would have the honor of meeting him here."
"Brother Xu's poem 'Die Lian Hua - Presented to Zhu Ci Ci' is so well written that I can't imagine that it was written by Brother Xu when he was eight years old."
"Especially Brother Xu's letter of resignation. I read it over and over again. It is so brilliant and emotional. I am really ashamed of myself."
"Brother Xu saved our lives today. We two will remember this favor!"
"I'll give a toast to Brother Xu!"
"A toast to Brother Xu!"
In a restaurant, two scholars from Bailu Academy, Miao Feng and Yu Wenxi, invited Xu Ming to dinner.
Although the two men looked rather embarrassed with bruised faces and noses, their elegant scholarly demeanor remained unchanged.
Their injuries were not serious and they were basically fine after two or three days of rest.
"You are too polite." Xu Ming returned the toast. "My mentor is from your academy. I have some affinity with Bailu Academy. Seeing you two in trouble, I naturally cannot stand idly by. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain myself to my teacher when I meet him."
"I wonder who Brother Xu's teacher is?" Yu Wenxi asked.
Xu Ming: "Xiao Mochi, Mr. Xiao."
"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao." Miao Feng couldn't help but sit up straight, "One of the three people in the academy that I admire the most is Mr. Xiao."
"Is Mr. Xiao so famous in Bailu Academy?" Xu Ming didn't expect this.
Xu Ming thought that Xiao Mochen was just an ordinary scholar in Bailu Academy, with a little fame at most.
Yu Wenxi drank a glass of wine and said, "Isn't it true? Mr. Xiao is a well-known man of temperament in the academy. His stories are still circulating in the academy. If we want to tell them, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish them in a day and a night."
"It seems that Mr. Xiao has had many romantic affairs." Xu Ming smiled. "By the way, I wonder why the two brothers came to Baiwa City? And why are there so many cultivators here all of a sudden?"
"Hmm?" Yu Wenxi and Miao Feng looked at each other, then at Xu Ming, "Brother Xu, don't you know?"
Xu Ming was even more puzzled: "Know what?"
Yu Wenxi replied: "There is a rare treasure in Baiwa City that is about to appear in the world, and we are all here to seek opportunities."
"Exotic treasure?" Xu Ming was stunned. "What exotic treasure?"
Miao Feng smiled and said, "We don't know what kind of treasure it is, and others probably don't know either. Not long ago, a priest from our academy predicted that a treasure would appear in Baiwa City, so he asked the two of us to come. Judging from the elder's appearance, he seems to value this treasure very much.
Now, most of the other cultivators in Baiwa City come here for rare treasures.
In comparison, Brother Xu, you don’t know about rare treasures. Why did you come to Baiwa City?”
Xu Ming shook his head and made up an excuse: "I was planning to travel around the world before the Rootless Secret Realm opened, but I accidentally entered it."
Yu Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really don't know whether Brother Xu is lucky or unlucky."
"Since a rare treasure has appeared in the world, and so many people have come, the treasure should be quite big. Why is it not the elders of the sect who came, but the disciples?" Xu Ming fully demonstrated the spirit of asking when he does not understand.
Miao Feng smiled and said, "Brother Xu usually practices martial arts, so he may not know much about the world of immortal cultivation. In the world of immortal cultivation, what matters is that all things complement each other and cause and effect follow each other.
The more precious the elixir is, the more powerful the guardian beast beside it is.
Uh, my analogy may not be appropriate.
But what I want to say is probably this.
When a rare treasure comes into the world, the Heavenly Dao will protect the area around the treasure and restrict cultivators of a certain realm from entering to avoid causing harm to the surrounding lives.
However, no one has figured out the correlation between the "preciousness of rare treasures" and "realm restrictions" so far.
Of course, if you enter the Ascension Realm, you can naturally ignore most of the laws of heaven, but which Ascension Realm ancestor would go out just for a few rare treasures?"
"And our Lord Jijiu calculated that the highest realm of the restrictions around the strange treasure this time is the Guanhai Realm." Yu Wenxi added, "The two of us just happened to have nothing to do, and we are considered to be relatively good at fighting in the Guanhai Realm, so we came here."
"I see."
Xu Ming nodded.
Xu Ming was actually thinking in his heart, did Shen Sheng and his wife enter Baiwa City to look for treasure?
But if Shen Sheng and his group were looking for treasure, wouldn't there be a flood of cultivators at that time? Why would they wait until now? Miao Feng sighed: "But now, the treasure has not been found, and we can't get out. I don't know what's going on in Baiwa City."
Looking at the melancholy looks of Miao Feng and Yu Wenxi, Xu Ming didn't say much, but just drank silently.
Half an hour later, Miao Feng, Yu Wenxi and Xu Ming said goodbye. Both sides told each other their addresses and promised to help each other if there was anything.
After returning to the inn, Xu Ming's mind once again popped up the reward -
[You defeated the Painting Scroll Rhino (Late Sea Viewing Realm) and the Painting Scroll Elephant (Late Sea Viewing Realm), Strength +30, Shock +20]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Strength is power.
Deterrence means being able to make the other person feel a certain degree of fear by relying on the aura around you.
These two are ordinary attribute points, and Xu Ming didn't care much about them.
But what do the two words "painting scroll" mean? Xu Ming opened the box left by Shen Sheng and took out the letter first. Tianxuan Goose leaned over and looked at the letter together:
"When you see this letter, it means I am dead.
I don't know who you are, but since you can see this letter, I believed in you when I was alive.
When I and my wife first arrived in Baiwa City, it was still an ordinary border town with a large human population. Although there were also many monsters, most monsters and humans did not interfere with each other.
But one day, for unknown reasons, the scorching sun in the sky suddenly fell from the sky.
I felt like I was going to burn to ashes.
But when I woke up, I found myself and everything around me was intact.
The only thing that changed was the blood-red moon in the sky.
My wife and I soon discovered that Baiwa City had formed a barrier for itself and we couldn't get out.
Fortunately, my wife is a direct disciple of the Tianzhen Sect and has a lot of insights into formations.
While looking for a way to break the formation, we settled down here.
Until one day."
[It rained all day today, and then I was stuck in a tunnel for almost an hour.
Damn, I’m numb.
Fortunately, I wrote some last night, and today I wrote 2,000 words, which is just enough to make it complete. It turns out that I still need some drafts. 】
