Chapter 204: Mitian City

In the past, in order to refine the Soul-Condensing Pill, Su Qingwu went around looking for information about alchemists, and at that time, he got to know something about Midian City.

The deputy city lord of this city has made great achievements in the way of alchemy.

Under the influence of this predecessor, the alchemy industry flourished in Mitian City.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Qingwu used magic to change his appearance before entering the city. Then he went to the relevant industries in the city and bought two bottles of top-grade illusion pills.

After taking this pill, one can change the shape and appearance of the body as desired. A top-grade pill can last about half a month.

Except for the great masters of Hedao, no one can see his true appearance.

After getting the elixir, Su Qingwu rented a very small and deserted inn in a remote area of ​​the city.

Due to poor business, there is only one shopkeeper in the inn and no other helpers.

There were ten rooms in total, and in order to avoid being disturbed, she booked the entire inn.

The rental fee is one thousand medium-grade spirit stones per month.

The innkeeper's name was Yunshu, and she was in the late stage of foundation building. She was wearing a grey silk dress and her black hair was loose behind her head. However, there was one strange thing about her: her eyes were covered with black cloth.

This cloth is not ordinary and can block the detection of spiritual consciousness.

Su Qingwu has mastered the secret method of destroying the golden pupils, and can see a pair of tightly closed eyes through the black cloth.

When checking in, I asked a casual question out of instinctive caution and curiosity.

Finally, it was learned that Yun Shu's eyes were injured by a monster when he was young, and they have never recovered since then.

Because the injured part is ugly and may scare the guests, it is always covered with black cloth.

After hearing the answer, Su Qingwu did not ask any more questions.

All monks can use their spiritual consciousness, and even if they are blind, it will not affect their daily actions.

After choosing a house to live in, she removed the illusion that enveloped her body, then took out a pill of illusion and swallowed it, continuing to transform into her previous appearance.

This way, there is no need to maintain spiritual energy, which saves a lot of trouble.

The appearance that Su Qingwu transformed into before his eyes was ordinary, the most inconspicuous one standing in the crowd.

If I go to Tianhe City again, almost no one will recognize me.

After staying in the inn for half a day, there was a light knock on the door.

Su Qingwu used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that it was the shopkeeper Yun Shu.

As I opened the door, a clear voice came to my ears.

"Senior Su, these are the spiritual fruits grown by the inn, which we just picked."

Looking at the jade plate filled with various fresh spiritual fruits handed to him, Su Qingwu hesitated for a moment, said thank you, and reached out to take it.

She had previously made it clear that daily meals would not be provided.

However, the inn rental fee always included these things by default, so Yun Shu picked some more spiritual fruits and sent them over.

Seeing Su Qingwu accept it, she continued with a smile:

"I will be away from the inn for a while after 5 p.m. today and will probably be back before 11 p.m. at night. You can pick any of the magical fruits and vegetables planted in the yard."

If there is only one innkeeper in the hotel, he/she will not leave unless it is urgent.

Su Qingwu was naturally aware of this, but she did not ask any more questions and just nodded and said yes.

After Yun Shu left, she looked at the fresh spiritual fruit placed on the jade plate, and carefully sensed it with her spiritual consciousness to confirm that there was no problem.

In order not to waste anything, he picked up a white jade grape and put it between his lips.

The taste is sweet and sour, crispy and tender, not difficult to eat.

Su Qingwu tasted the spiritual fruit while thinking about his future plans.

Not long after, Su Wen emerged from the Yuqing Mirror and stood aside.

She was a ghost cultivator. Before she rebuilt her physical body, she should not eat food from living people, otherwise it would be detrimental to her cultivation. So even though she had her eyes on the spiritual fruit, she did not take it.

Supporting his head with one hand, he looked at the person beside him for a while and then sighed softly.

"Qingwu, I really can't get used to seeing you like this."

"After a while, you'll get used to it naturally."

"No way, do you intend to keep this appearance forever?"

"That's not necessarily the case, but I'm definitely not going to change it after living in this inn for a while."

"Okay, by the way, Qingwu, do you think the innkeeper is a little strange?"

"I haven't noticed anything unusual yet. I'm asking you, have you discovered something?"

"Uh... I can't really tell. It's just a hunch."

"I don't have any feeling this time. Since I entered Taoism, my intuition before the crisis has helped me avoid danger many times. Which direction does your intuition lean towards this time?"

"I just feel that Yunshu is different from ordinary people."

"She is blind and indeed different from ordinary people."

"No, I'm not talking about that. I'm referring to the aura that emanates from her..."

Su Qingwu looked puzzled.

"Is there any problem with the breath?"

Su Wen looked a little confused.

"Hey, I don't know how to put it. Let me think... I just don't think she looks like a human. As for danger, I don't feel that."

Su Qingwu was surprised to hear this.

"I have used the Destruction Golden Eye to observe before. She is not a transformed demon cultivator, and her cultivation level does not match."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Jiu's voice was heard from within the sea of ​​consciousness.

"If my judgment is correct, Yun Shu should be a half-demon."

"What?" Su Qingwu was stunned. "Can a half-demon be in human form?"

Kong Jiu explained: "Normally, no, but there are special cases. In short, it has something to do with her parents."

Su Qingwu came back to his senses and said thoughtfully:

"This is the border between the human race and the human race, so it's normal for a half-demon to appear here. As long as she has no ill intentions towards us, I won't care about her identity."

Having said this, she thought of Yun Shu's covered eyes and had a guess in her mind.

"The eyes of half-demon are mostly different from those of humans. She covered her eyes with a black cloth that can block spiritual detection. It doesn't necessarily mean that she was really injured, but she just didn't want people to know her identity."

Kong Jiu sighed, "Most likely, it's hard for half-demons to survive. They are not welcomed by humans, and even less by the demons."

"The city of Mitian has a clear rule that demons are not allowed to enter, but it does not mention the attitude towards half-demons."

"Anyway, once discovered, the worst case scenario is expulsion or execution."

"Does the demon race treat half-demons in the same way?"

"It's even more serious than this. If a half-demon appears in the demon territory without the protection of his parents, he will eventually become food for the monsters."

Hearing this, Su Qingwu fell silent for a moment and did not speak again.

Based on the information revealed by Kong Jiu, it is not difficult to judge that Yun Shu had been in a difficult situation in the past, but she had no intention of delving into it.

Among all living things in the world, countless people are suffering.

It was just a chance encounter, she wouldn't make a fuss about it.

After a while, Su Wen brought up another matter.

"Qingwu, you had planned to have a long-term deal with the demon tribe and purchase high-year spiritual plants. Are you ready to put this idea into practice now?"

"Starting tomorrow, I will walk around the city of Mitian and observe the specific situation. I will make a decision after I am fully familiar with it."

This matter is extremely risky and must be handled with extreme caution. We must not act rashly.

However, risks and benefits are often proportional. If future transactions can proceed smoothly and high-year spiritual plants like the Immortality Flower are obtained, Su Qingwu's cultivation will continue to advance by leaps and bounds.
