Looking at Gongye Ruoyun's face, which was so beautiful that even girls would envy and hate her, Xiao Yutang couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Qingxi, you guys chat first, I'll go change my clothes and come back." Xiao Yutang stopped talking decisively and walked towards the grove with a stern face.
His appearance was far inferior to others, and his clothes were torn like rags. If he didn't take care of himself, he would be embarrassed to see people.
"Go." Gu Qingxi nodded, looking at Xiao Yutang's fleeing back, her eyes were full of sympathy, and at the same time a little worried.
Facing Gongye Ruoyun's appearance that brought disaster to the country and the people, even she felt a lot of pressure, not to mention Xiao Yutang, who didn't know if he would breed inner demons because of the great blow. You know, it is easier for demon cultivators to breed inner demons than immortal cultivators.
Fortunately, Xiao Yutang changed his clothes and spent a lot of time to smooth out his hair. When he appeared again, his face was not radiant, but he finally regained some confidence.
"Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble." Gongye Ruoyun glanced at Xiao Yutang and said earnestly.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yutang raised his head and tried to maintain the style of a young master from an aristocratic family.
If you are not as good-looking as others, you can only rely on your temperament to support it.
"Ugly is ugly. No matter how you dress up, you are still ugly." Gongye Ruoyun shook his head and walked out of the forest, but he didn't look at Xiao Yutang again.
Ignored, poor young master Xiao, was ignored like this.
Xiao Yutang was so angry that his mouth twitched. He wanted to retort, but looking at Gongye Ruoyun's face, which seemed to be calm and composed, he couldn't say a word.
Not only can he not compare in appearance, but also in temperament.
Xiao Yutang's head, which had been held high, drooped down in frustration. The confidence that he had finally regained also disappeared completely.
"Let's go. For a man, appearance is not the most important thing, nor is temperament." Gu Qingxi patted Xiao Yutang on the shoulder and kindly comforted him.
"Then what is the most important thing, strength?" Xiao Yutang's spirits lifted slightly, and he looked at Gu Qingxi gratefully, with a fire of hope burning in his eyes again.
"No, it's self-knowledge." Gu Qingxi said.
"..." Is this really comfort? It's clearly pouring salt on the wound, no, it's stabbing the wound with a knife. Xiao Yutang suddenly thought, should he just crash into a wall and die in front of them? It's too depressing.
"By the way, what magic weapon were you refining just now?" On the way, Gu Qingxi asked Gongye Ruoyun curiously.
"The magic sword. It was just a little bit away from being refined, but I don't know why, it failed at the last step. This is not the first time, it's always like this, but it didn't explode so hard before." Gongye Ruoyun said distressedly.
Gu Qingxi curled her lips. It was right to learn Zhuo Moying's weapon-making technique, but he also learned his bad habits and didn't realize his own weapon path. It would be strange if he could refine a magic sword.
He was lucky to meet me, otherwise he would be so confused this time that he would never wake up.
"What do you mean by avoiding disaster?" Gu Qingxi asked.
She remembered that Gongye Ruoyun said that the Gongye clan stayed in Jiuli Mingxu Realm to avoid disaster, so it was difficult for outsiders to break the secret realm barrier except for themselves.
"This is the legacy left by my ancestors. Only by staying in Jiuli Mingxu Realm can we keep safe. If the barrier is opened and the secret realm reappears, our Gongye clan will be in danger of extinction, but I don't know why this is the case." Gongye Ruoyun said.
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Gu Qingxi didn't ask any more questions.
While he was talking, an ancient city appeared in sight.
The city was not big, but it retained the architectural style of ancient times. It was dusk, and the setting sun cast a golden glow over the ancient city, which was peaceful and dignified.
In a trance, Gu Qingxi had a feeling of returning to her past life. After
entering the city gate, Gongye Ruoyun introduced the customs and practices of Jiuli City while leading Gu Qingxi and Xiao Yutang to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Meet Young Master Gongye, meet the Young City Lord..." Along the way, people saluted Gongye Ruoyun from time to time, with a sincere smile and no intention of flattery.
It can be seen that Gongye Ruoyun has a very good relationship with people in the city.
This is normal. According to Gongye Ruoyun, most of the people in the city were disciples or followers of his ancestors. They were originally his family and watched him grow up, so of course there was no barrier.
"Young City Lord, I found a few black titanium crystals a few days ago. Are you interested?" A thin old man with white hair and beard asked with a smile.
"Zheng Bo, are you serious? Did you really find the black titanium crystal?" Gongye Ruoyun stopped and asked in surprise.
Gu Qingxi was also slightly moved. The black titanium crystal is one of the top refining materials in the world of cultivation. As long as the black titanium crystal is added during the refining process, it can be easily refined into a semi-artifact, and the chance of refining an artifact can be increased by at least 30%.
However, this kind of refining material is too rare. She was just lucky to get a little from the demon bear, and she has never seen it before.
Not to mention Gu Qingxi, even Xiao Yutang, a demon cultivator who knows almost nothing about the art of refining, has heard of the black titanium crystal. Looking at the old man, his eyes are full of green light.
"Look at what the young city lord said. Can this old man still deceive you?" Zheng Bo said, taking out three spirit crystals, which are indeed black titanium crystals.
"Zheng Bo, how many spirit stones do you want to sell these black titanium crystals for?" Gongye Ruoyun asked excitedly.
Although the Jiuli Mingxu Realm is not big, there are many people living here, so spirit stones are still used when trading.
"I am old now, no matter how many spirit stones I have, it is useless. But my grandson has some talent for cultivation, but I don't have the right sword skills. I heard that the City Lord's Mansion has a collection of Tiangang Heart Sutra. I wonder if I can..." Zheng Bo rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly.
The ancestor of the Gongye clan had saved the Zheng family's ancestors, and Gongye Ruoyun was also very good to him on weekdays, so if it was other spirit crystals, it would not matter even if he gave them to Gongye Ruoyun for free.
But the black titanium crystal was too precious, and it happened that his only grandson had a good talent for cultivation, but just lacked the right sword skills, so he could only shamelessly put forward a condition to Gongye Ruoyun.
"Tiangang Heart Sutra, right? Zheng Bo, wait a minute, I will go back to the City Lord's Mansion and get it for you." Gongye Ruoyun didn't care. The Tiangang Heart Sutra is good, but no matter how good it is, it is not as precious as the black titanium crystal.
As he spoke, he led Gu Qingxi and Xiao Yutang and hurried to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Wait, I want these black titanium crystals." At this moment, a young man appeared in front of Zheng Bo.
He was about the same age as Gongye Ruoyun, and although he was not as handsome, he was still pretty. At this moment, he stared at Gongye Ruoyun with a fake smile, and there was clearly a bit of sinister intent in his eyes.
