Xue Kong looked indifferent. Other people's gazes and opinions of him were not important to Xue Kong at all, and he didn't care at all.
Even though those gazes were like sharp arrows, all piercingly shot towards him, he simply smiled calmly and said to Bai Mian below the stage, "Let's go."
Only after he stepped down did the eyes that were staring at him disperse one by one.
"Have you figured out who's behind this plot?" Bai Mian asked with a relaxed look on his face.
Xue Kong nodded.
The two walked a short distance when they met a slender figure in a black robe. When Bai Mian saw the man's face, his expression suddenly changed and he nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Xue Kong's expression remained calm. He clasped his hands together and bowed to the man: "Disciple, I pay my respects to Master Du."
"Bai Mian, greetings to Lord Du." Bai Mian reacted quickly and also bowed with his fists clasped.
"Why are you two here? Where is Lian'er?" Du Gong's eyes were gloomy as he stared at Xue Kong and the others. A heavy sense of oppression emanated from him, causing Bai Mian's body to pause slightly.
"The young master has been separated from us and has disappeared. I think he is somewhere in Guanglan City, or on the way to Guanglan City." Xue Kong said calmly.
With his level of cultivation, he couldn't see through Du Gong.
But he felt that the Poison Lord was far more powerful at this moment than when he entered the Demon Valley.
This all illustrates one problem.
Lord Du has already reached the great perfection of Qi Condensation and has gained something in Guanglan City.
"Hmph! I asked you to protect Lian'er's safety, and you two have made it here safely." The Poison Lord frowned and said coldly, "If Lian'er is harmed in the slightest, you two will be killed!"
After watching Du Gong leave, Bai Mian's face turned much paler, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
She couldn't guarantee that Jiuxing Lian'er would be unharmed.
Xue Kong didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart. With his current strength, it was not difficult to kill Du Gong. He just needed to pay attention to Du Gong's vicious methods and be careful.
However, he had other plans in mind, and killing was not his goal.
"Since Lord Du is so anxious, Senior Sister, you go look for Jiuxing Lian'er. When you find her, don't make it public. Come back and take me there." Xue Kong said to Bai Mian.
Bai Mian raised his head and looked at Xue Kong with a complicated look in his eyes: "..."
She wanted to say something, but the words were on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't utter them because of the taboo.
"Go ahead."
Xue Kong turned and left.
"Could it be that Senior Sister was also plotted against by him, lost her virginity, and suffered the same fate as me?" Bai Mian was smart and guessed the truth from Xue Kong's words.
"Since it's his order, I have to obey." Bai Mian sighed in his heart, even feeling a little lost.
Xue Kong did not return to the restaurant room immediately. He came to the west street where there was a shop similar to a pawnshop in mortal towns, and went in.
Walking to the counter and glancing at the portly middle-aged man sitting there, Xue Kong said nothing. He took out all seven storage bags and dumped the bags onto the counter.
All the contents of the storage bag suddenly fell onto the counter.
The portly middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the counter full of magic weapons, pills, talismans and other items.
Xue Kong waved his sleeves to take away the spirit stones in the middle, and then took out some accumulated spiritual artifacts from his storage bag and threw them all on the counter.
Then he said to the middle-aged man, "Please help me exchange these for spirit stones."
The middle-aged man collected the items from the counter, carefully counted them, calculated the number of spirit stones that could be exchanged for them, and said to Xue Kong cheerfully, "Sir, these can be exchanged for a total of 13,800 low-grade spirit stones."
"Some of these magical weapons are quite good. Are you sure you want to exchange them all?"
Xue Kong nodded.
After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "You should have some mid-grade spirit stones here. Exchange all of these for mid-grade spirit stones."
Xue Kong trusts that the shops in Guanglan City do not cheat their customers.
Soon, the middle-aged man handed a bag of medium-grade spirit stones to Xue Kong. Xue Kong just took a look with his spiritual sense, confirmed that it was correct, and turned and left.
Thirteen thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one hundred and thirty-eight medium-grade spirit stones.
After returning to the restaurant, Xue Kong was about to walk up the stairs to his room when the waiter seemed to have been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as he saw him, he came up and said, "Sir, the door of the room you stayed in before hasn't been repaired yet."
"I have found a new room for you. This is the wooden sign."
"Go upstairs and on the right, it's number two."
"Thank you." Xue Kong took the wooden sign and then came to Room 2, Block C.
The design of the room was no different from before. Xue Kong didn't care about it. He just sat on the bed, took out the bag of medium-grade spirit stones, and looked at it carefully.
Medium-grade spirit stones are larger in size, contain more spiritual energy, and are more refined.
The impurities contained inside are less than those of low-grade spirit stones, and are easier to be absorbed by cultivators.
Other than that, there is no difference.
After putting all the medium-grade spirit stones into his storage bag, Xue Kong took out the red-bearded dragon egg. The dragon egg was still the same as before, without any change.
Looking at it, Xue Kong's eyes showed hope.
"With my natural spiritual roots and talent, if I have enough time and the spiritual stones in my hands, I can advance unstoppably and enter the eleventh level of Qi Condensation, or even the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation. However..."
“The time it takes is immeasurable.”
"If you can crack open the dragon egg and drink the liquid, you can speed up the process."
Xue Kong's eyes showed determination.
The three heavenly swords have been advanced, so it is not impossible to cut it open.
With a thought, three heavenly swords flew out from his storage bag and without stopping, they slashed down at the dragon egg fiercely. The three heavenly swords hit the same gap.
