Chapter 366: Generosity

The Anfu Inn is not big, but fortunately, all rooms have low-level protective arrays, so it is relatively safe.

There are also some very practical instruments in the room, such as a wooden barrel for bathing, which can activate the rune array on it to boil water for disinfection, a toilet that leads to an unknown place, and so on.

For example, the bed has its own cleaning magic, and you can input magic power to clean all the bedding on the bed.

In addition, there is a sound-silent array that can block out outside sounds and even act as a curtain to reduce the brightness of the room.

Gao Xian had studied it and found that it was a common practice for large sects to make magic tools available for daily use. It was very rare for a small inn to have complete supporting magic tools for daily use.

He walked along the way, from Qingyun City to Tongtian City and Longhu City. The main cities of these large sects were very prosperous and lively, but the details of life were still very backward and rough, far inferior to this small inn.

Gao Xian felt that it was not because the small inn was so attentive, but rather that Wanfeng City was very developed in all aspects, and convenient living tools naturally seeped down to the lower levels.

Making magic and magical tools part of daily life and improving the quality of life has always been his favorite concept.

Unfortunately, most cultivators in this world are still busy running around and fighting desperately for cultivation resources. Their basic survival issues are not even guaranteed, let alone improving their quality of life.

The public security in the lower classes of Weicheng is extremely poor, but life is very convenient, which is also a benefit of big cities.

On the other hand, Wanfeng City is built in the belly of a mountain, and the space is small. It must operate rationally and efficiently to maintain basic living order.

The most important thing is that the spiritual energy here is abundant, which is one level higher than that of Qingyun Sect.

The monks who live here can improve their cultivation even if they don't practice hard. Even ordinary people can live 20 to 30 years longer with the nourishment of spiritual energy.

However, Gao Xian felt that Qingyun Sect was more comfortable. He occupied a hilltop by himself and had a large palace-like villa. Although his life there was a little inconvenient, it was much better than here.

After staying in the room for a while, Gao Xian decided to go out for a walk.

He was very interested in the local entertainment life, but after some consideration he gave up the idea of ​​visiting the brothels.

The main reason is that brothels are more chaotic. If he runs there alone, he will not only be easily ripped off, but also easily cause conflicts.

Gao Xian was not afraid of trouble, but he didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. He knew nothing and didn't know where to run if something really happened.

He didn't go in and Sheng Xing just now because he considered that the other party was unlikely to have the Nine-Transformation Qianyuan Transformation Spirit Pill, and it would be in vain even if he killed him.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to give the other party a few days. Even if the other party wanted to fool him, he would have to prepare something.

He can also take advantage of this time to get to know the local situation.

You can't go to places of entertainment, but you can go to wine shops and teahouses.

Gao Xian called his waiter and gave him ten low-grade spirit stones in exchange for one hundred Wanfeng Fu coins.

Although Wanfeng City is a large place, it is not convenient to use spirit stones for daily expenses. The sect must mint talisman coins, firstly to facilitate trading, secondly to make a profit, and also to regulate and control the market through talisman coins.

The Wanfeng Fu coins are also made of gold mixed with brass. They have a square hole inside the round shape, and there are inscribed characters of the Wanfeng Sect on both sides.

Gao Xian didn't let the clerk work in vain and gave him ten Wanfeng Fu coins.

The guys who received the reward were all smiling from ear to ear. It can be said that they told everything they knew.

After asking about some basic local information, Gao Xian went out to the liquor shop on another street.

It was not until the evening that Gao Xian returned to the inn.

Most of the people in the wine shop he went to were Qigong practitioners. He could learn a lot by just inviting any of them to have a few drinks.

To Gao Xian's surprise, Tian Yunong didn't come the next day. He went to the wine shop to hang out for another day.

I got the same answer from different people: the boss of the twelfth floor of Weicheng is called Xiang Zhengye.

This Jindan Zhenren was said to be over 300 years old and was the true disciple of Wanfeng Sect. No one dared to speak out, but Gao Xian could tell from their words that everyone hated Xiang Zhengye.

It was normal for low-level cultivators to hate and envy high-level cultivators. It was just that everyone agreed that his reputation was not good, so Xiang Zhengye was really not good enough.

Xiang Zhengye also opened a Jinshenghui store, which took over all the big business on the twelfth floor.

Heshengye is a small business under the jurisdiction of Jinshenghui. According to the people, Xiang Shouyi and Tian Yunong are not good people.

Gao Xian deeply agreed with this, saying that the public always has a sharp eye.

This group of people are very familiar with the situation on the twelfth floor, and they have a general idea of ​​what is happening outside the twelfth floor.

Gao Xian asked many people about Wanbaolou, but they all gave vague answers.

Wanbao Tower is located in Doucheng of the northern seven cities, which is also the most prosperous and bustling city among the twenty-eight cities. It is said that there are as many as two to three million monks there.

It costs a lot of spirit stones to enter and exit each city. This group of people has difficulty supporting themselves. They can't even get into the upper class of the tail city, let alone go to the outer city.

Gao Xian also understood this. Even though they were all in Wanfeng City, this group of low-level cultivators did not really understand this big city.

Tian Yunong didn't come until noon on the third day.

"Fellow Daoist, the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Pill is too difficult to obtain. I was busy for a few days before I got any accurate information. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long..."

Tian Yunong greeted him with a smile and apologized politely.

"Are you getting a letter?" Gao Xian asked.

"Come with me, let's go to my place and talk in detail."

"good."

Tian Yunong brought Gao Xian to the backyard of He Shengxing. There was a magic circle in the yard separating the inside and the outside. As soon as Gao Xian came in, he found that the magic circle was working. At the same time, there was a faint smell of burning incense in the yard.

Tian Yunong seemed to see Gao Xian's vigilance, and he explained: "It's not safe here, there are thieves everywhere, we can only activate the magic circle."

After Gao Xian sat down, Tian Yunong asked casually, "Fellow Daoist, you must have heard a lot of bad things about us these past two days."

He smiled bitterly and sighed, "Although we are all neighbors, our business with Shengxing is good, so naturally we have robbed many people of their wealth. They all wish us dead, so how can they say anything nice to us..."

Gao Xian remained noncommittal. What he said was not without reason. Of course, no one would say good things about their competitors.

The two were talking in the yard. In the main room, Xiang Shouyi held a three-inch square bronze mirror in his hand and silently used his magic power to activate the restrictions in the bronze mirror.

With a little inspiration granted by the ancestor, he could barely activate this spiritual weapon.

Circles of runes on the bronze mirror shone with spiritual light, reflecting the appearance of Taiyuan Shenxiang's incarnation. The three innate spiritual lights flowing in the clone's body were clearly displayed in the bronze mirror.

Including several magical weapons on the clone, all were illuminated by the calming mirror.

"Late stage of foundation building, second-grade superior robe and sword."

Xiang Shouyi looked at the scene reflected in the bronze mirror and grinned happily.

Finally, the efforts were not in vain. This man was in the late stage of foundation building. Not to mention how many spirit stones he had on him, his robes and magic weapons alone were worth a lot of money.

Xiang Shouyi confirmed Gao Xian's cultivation level and did not hesitate any longer. He hid his left hand holding the meditation mirror in his sleeve, pushed the door open and strode out.

"This must be Friend Wudao..."

Xiang Shouyi bowed in a very chivalrous manner, with his hands mostly hidden in his sleeves so he wasn't afraid of revealing the calming mirror.

He said, "I am with Xiang Shouyi, the chief treasurer of Shengxing."

Gao Xian bowed in return: "Nice to meet you."

"Have a seat..."

Xiang Shouyi warmly invited Gao Xian to sit down. He said to Tian Yunong, "We have a guest. Let's have a drink. Go prepare the food and wine."

This was also the secret signal he and Tian Yunong had agreed upon in advance. Tian Yunong immediately understood it, and he hurriedly turned around and went out.

After a short while, the table was filled with wine and food, exuding a rich aroma.

These dishes and wine are all made from monsters and spiritual creatures, are full of spiritual energy, and are very expensive.

Xiang Shouyi and Tian Yunong kept urging Gao Xian to drink, but Gao Xian just drank one glass and didn't drink any more.

Xiang Shouyi and Tian Yunong didn't care. They specialized in this and naturally couldn't poison the wine. That was too low-level.

It is mainly a nourishing incense. Burning this kind of incense can soothe the soul, purify the spiritual energy, and drive away evil spirits.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

It is originally an excellent spiritual object for cultivation. When combined with the rich aroma of Jintai wine, it will make people drunk. Drinking more wine will actually get rid of this drunkenness.

This kind of martial arts skills are simple but very practical.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Xiang Shouyi said, "The Wanbao Tower in Doucheng has the Nine-transformation Qianyuan Transformation Refining Spirit Pill. It was originally going to be auctioned at the beginning of the month. If you bring 400 high-quality spirit stones, we can buy it directly..."

Tian Yunong smiled and said, "Daoyou, this also requires internal connections. If you put it in an auction, it won't be cheap either. You may not be able to buy it with 400 high-grade spirit stones."

Gao Xian looked indifferent and did not comment.

This made Tian Yunong unable to continue laughing, and he looked at Xiang Shouyi who was standing opposite him. The big shopkeeper's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he raised his eyebrows slightly to give Tian Yunong the signal to take action.

He then activated the Calming Mirror and shone it towards Gao Xian. At the same time, the Qi in his body burst out, and he drew his sword with his right hand and slashed at Gao Xian.

Xiang Shouyi was practicing the Yuan Yang Jue, and when he released his Gang Qi, the red Gang Qi all over his body was as bright as the sun, with a mighty force.

The Xuan Yang Sword in his hand is also a second-grade top-grade sword. Under the stimulation of the Yuan Yang Jue, the long sword turned into a blazing red light, extremely sharp.

Tian Yunong, who was sitting on the other side, also drew out the Flying Fish Sword, which was actually a flying sword. The Flying Fish Sword was like a nimble green fish and hit Gao Xian's neck directly.

The two men attacked at the same time, with almost no warning.

But when the two of them made a move, Gao Xian already knew. He wanted to talk to them more, but he didn't expect them to be so anxious.

The spiritual light from the Calming Mirror shone on Gao Xian's face, but it was unable to shock his clear sword heart.

Gao Xian casually drew out the Qingfeng sword and flicked it lightly. The Qingfeng sword first flicked over the Feiyu sword, then completely destroyed the spiritual consciousness on the flying sword.

The flowing green sword drew a semicircle and landed on the Chiyang Sword. When the two swords collided, the blazing sword light was deflected.

The green sword followed the flow of the blazing Yuan Yang Qi and pierced through Xiang Shouyi's forehead with one sword.

Xiang Shouyi's cultivation was very good, and his Yuan Yang Gang Qi was blazing and overbearing. However, under Gao Xian's clear sword heart, he could see that the Yuan Yang Gang Qi was uneven and had obvious gaps.

His Fengyun Sword Skills had even reached the perfect realm of a grandmaster. Although the world was vast, no one could surpass him in swordsmanship at the foundation-building level.

At this moment, he swung his sword with ease. The Qingfeng Sword was like mercury pouring down on the ground, birds returning to their nests, and spirit fish entering their caves. The sword gently followed the gap in the Yuanyang Gangqi and went straight in. With one sword, Xiang Shouyi's life was destroyed.

Xiang Shouyi looked at Gao Xian in great horror. He only saw the green sword light flowing and had no idea how he was stabbed by the sword.

Gao Xian raised his glass and gestured to Xiang Shouyi: "This is for my fellow Taoists. Thank you both for your hospitality and generosity. You are truly good friends!"

Xiang Shouyi didn't even have the energy to be angry. His consciousness was constantly falling into darkness. Before he lost consciousness, he saw a red line on Tian Yunong's neck opposite him, and the head with a strange smile suddenly rolled down...

Gao Xian had already stood up, avoiding the spurting blood.

He first helped Xiang Shouyi deal with the aftermath, including packing up the magic tools and storage bags.

The bronze mirror in the other party's sleeve was obviously a third-level spiritual weapon. This surprised Gao Xian a little, but he didn't care.

After dealing with the funeral affairs of the two people, Gao Xian obtained forty-three high-quality spirit stones, several third-level elixirs, and several magical instruments from his two good friends.

Excluding the bronze mirror, all the items together are worth about two hundred high-quality spirit stones.

This is also the total wealth of the two foundation-building people, which can be said to be substantial.

Gao Xian was quite satisfied with this. It was enough to buy a Nine-Transformation Qianyuan Transformation Spirit Refining Pill. The wine was not in vain. The two good friends were really generous!

Gao Xian packed up his things and was about to leave when a man suddenly came into the yard.

This man had silver hair, red eyes, and a red and gold robe that glowed, which was very eye-catching.

The white-haired man had a fiery yet restrained and complete aura, showing his powerful cultivation.

Judging from the other party's aura, he is actually a Jindan.

"To Zhengye!"

Gao Xian had heard about this man's appearance from others. As soon as he saw the man's appearance, he knew it was Xiang Zhengye, but this guy came too quickly.

Gao Xian was a little surprised, but there was nothing to panic about. At most, he could kill another one, but he didn't know how many spirit stones this person had on him...

Xiang Zhengye looked Gao Xian up and down with his red eyes, which contained a bit of scrutiny and curiosity, but without any murderous or hostile intent.

This made Gao Xian somewhat curious. What did this Jindan mean? Xiang Zhengye glanced at the bloodstains on the ground. He suddenly smiled and said, "Good swordsmanship, good swordsmanship! Where did you come from?"

Gao Xian remained silent. It was easy to lie, but there was no need to pay attention to the other person.

Xiang Zhengye was not angry either. He smiled and said, "Xiang Shouyi, this little thief, haha, is so useless. I am sorry to make you laugh."

"If you have something to say to Master Xiang, please speak directly." Gao Xian was impatient with the other party beating around the bush.

"Fellow Daoist, even though they are useless, it is too much for you to kill them with just one sword."

Xiang Zhengye said slowly: "The so-called killing someone means paying with one's life and debts mean paying with one's money. This is the truth since ancient times."

Gao Xian sneered and said nothing. He didn't want to argue with the other party, it was meaningless.

Xiang Zhengye thought he had Gao Xian under control and didn't care much about the other party's arrogant attitude.

He added: "I see that you are a master swordsman and I appreciate your talent and ability. I am willing to give you a chance."

"Oh." Gao Xian nodded slightly. He was also a little curious about what the other party wanted to do after saying so much and what he liked about him.

Xiang Zhengye said again: "Help me do something. As long as it is successful, Xiang Shouyi's matter will be written off. I can also give you three Nine Revolutions Qianyuan Transformation Refining Spirit Pills as a reward... How do you think?"

(There will be a third update later, please give me a monthly ticket~)
