After a while, the screams gradually subsided.
Xiang Sheng opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed across his eyes.
She withdrew her hand, and the soul of the old Taoist Huang Quan could not bear the torture and dissipated directly, leaving only a body.
Xiang Sheng waved his sleeves again, and his body turned into powder and disappeared with the wind, leaving only a storage ring.
After putting away the storage ring, Xiang Sheng did not linger any longer. With a flash of sword light under his feet, he flew straight towards Xitian City.
Half an hour later, a huge and majestic city came into view.
Xiang Sheng fell from a high altitude, paid a low-grade spirit stone as an entrance fee, and walked into the city.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you will see a bustling scene.
On the spacious main street, which can accommodate eight carriages running side by side, there is a constant stream of pedestrians, all of whom are monks.
The stalls on both sides of the street were filled with a wide variety of items for spiritual practice, and the sounds of hawking were endless.
"Low-grade Golden Light Talisman, a top-quality low-grade Golden Light Talisman, one only costs three low-grade spirit stones!"
"Fellow Daoists, come and take a look at the new protective magic weapon released by Wuji Bingge!"
"A freshly refined mid-grade formation plate that can withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the late Jindan stage!"
“…”
Xiang Sheng walked and strolled with great interest.
This Xitian City is worthy of being the only major city for cultivation within thousands of miles. The items sold in the street stalls are very diverse.
There are magic weapons, elixirs, formation plates, spiritual food, ancient books, and even refined evil corpse puppets. There really is everything.
Xiang Sheng casually picked up two ancient books and bought some novel and magical meals, then walked into an inn.
The waiter was a young man in the early stages of Qi training. Seeing a guest coming, he quickly stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said awkwardly:
"Fellow Daoist, due to the Dragon Cave agreement, the number of cultivators staying at the hotel has increased dramatically recently. The rooms are basically full. Only one room, number three, remains. The asking price is 500 low-grade spirit stones a day. What do you think..."
Xiang Sheng directly threw a storage ring and said, "Stay here for two days."
The waiter took the storage ring and saw the neatly stacked thousand low-grade spirit stones inside. He immediately smiled and stepped aside, inviting him with his hand, "Dear guest, come up this way!"
Xiang Sheng went upstairs as he was told, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiaoer, I wonder which cultivators have come to Xitian City recently?"
When the waiter heard the word "fellow Daoist", he was flattered, and the smile on his face became more genuine:
"Dear guest, the innkeeper has already instructed that all top-level guests will be given a copy of the intelligence collected by our inn.
Please come in and wait for a moment, I will bring the jade slip to you later."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly upon hearing this and said no more.
Soon, the waiter stopped in front of a single-family courtyard and said, "Dear guest, we have arrived at room number three."
As the waiter spoke, he took out a white jade key and inserted it into the lock slot next to the courtyard gate.
The large barrier that blocked the courtyard suddenly rippled, forming a portal.
The waiter then took out the white jade key and handed it to Xiang Sheng with both hands.
Xiang Sheng took it, refined it casually, and stepped into the courtyard. The door on the barrier behind him immediately disappeared.
The courtyard was filled with spiritual energy, and Xiang Sheng walked inside along the winding path.
This Tianzi room is worthy of its high price of 500 spirit stones. Rather than being a room, it is more like an exquisite and quiet little mansion.
On both sides of the stone road and in the house furnishings, precious flowers and plants can be seen everywhere for appreciation. There is even a medium-grade spirit gathering array underground that operates day and night. It is an extremely luxurious place.
These external things naturally cannot shake Xiang Sheng's mind.
She swept her spiritual sense through every corner, making sure there were no hidden means of spying, then returned to the quiet room, sat down in front of the cushion, and reached out to wipe the blood ring.
But then a flash of inspiration came to her, and a jade box appeared out of thin air in her hands.
This jade box is obviously the Sky Realm Stone that Yuan Jing mentioned.
The Sky Realm Stone is the main material for making Fang Cun Collection and can be regarded as a rare treasure.
If it were exchanged for cultivation resources, it would be enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator who was at a bottleneck to break through to the Out-of-Body stage. No wonder Taoist Huang Quan would be tempted.
She already has the Fang Cun Collection, so what she lacks in her Zhen Yuan cultivation is not resources, but a cultivation method that is of a higher level than the Wanmai Sword Sect's sect's sword canon.
That kind of mental method may not be found even if you search the entire world of cultivation, and it cannot be exchanged for a mere Void Realm Stone.
Therefore, she had no interest in the Void Stone, but was somewhat interested in the jade box containing the Void Stone.
She ran her fingertips over the patterns on the surface of the jade box, her eyes narrowed slightly.
The patterns on it are at least 60% similar to snake and insect characters. If the interpretation is correct, it should be the word "ashes".
The lair of the Abyss Snake Clan is full of doubts.
The Yuan family is suspected to be descendants of the Abyss Snake Clan, so she must go there.
Just calculating the time, it only took her an hour to deal with the Taoist Huang Quan, and Yuan Jing's spirit boat was still on the way back to Xitian City.
She was not in a hurry. It would not be too late to go to Yuan's house after finding out the situation in the city.
