Chapter 354

At this moment, beside Li You Zhu in the early days, the captain scrambled around in the crowd, trying to find a better place to comprehend.

He didn't feel successful in the previous three days. He felt that the location should be unlucky, so he planned to get closer.

But before he found it, the captain suddenly had a bad premonition.

"My intuition is very accurate, something is wrong..." The captain pondered, carefully recalling what he had done recently.

"The eyes I left on Ghost Emperor Mountain were discovered?"

"My informant in Taisi Xianmen has been exposed?"

"The avatar secretly placed on Daoshan in Sanling Town was found?"

"The person I bribed in the Leaving Sect turned back?"

"Yanhuang knows that I'm going to steal his house?"

"My enemy in the corpse confinement has awakened?" After thinking about it, the captain suddenly remembered something.

"Shangxian Zixuan replied?"

The captain had a headache and didn't know what was wrong with him, but the premonition of palpitations was very strong, so he was extremely vigilant and left the crowd.

He even covered up his breath and changed his appearance, but he still felt uneasy, so he left the vicinity of Taichuli Youzhu, found a remote tent on the edge of the city, and spent some money to rent it, and sat there to feel his feelings carefully.

But he felt that it was not safe, so he made a formula with both hands, and unfolded some kind of secret method to make himself hide even deeper.

Not long after, Xu Qing came and searched around Taichuli Youzhu, but did not find the captain.

As for the search for the shadow, it needs a certain range. This place is too big. Unless Xu Qing walks around the entire city, he can't find it accurately.

After unsuccessfully searching, Xu Qing turned and left.

A few days passed quickly, and seeing that everything was going on as usual, the captain gradually relaxed. Although the concealment was always there, most of his body and mind were immersed in the feeling.

But Xu Qing didn't give up. During these few days, apart from comprehending the fighting spirit of Li You Zhu in the early days, so as to make himself aware of more spirit seals of war in the sea, he spent the rest of his time wandering around the city composed of countless tents.

Therefore, there are many monks in the land, so many large and small markets have been formed, and the things sold in them are various, most of which are strange.

Xu Qing saw a lot during the past few days looking for the leader's trace, and also bought some poisonous weeds.

But every time he goes out, he changes his appearance and covers up.

In fact, in the past few days, he has already received seven or eight challenges from the disciples of the Tianjiao sects in Yinghuang Prefecture.

Many people have already known about his arrival, and as a person who enjoys the treatment of Daozi in this generation of Eight Sect Alliance, his reputation has actually spread in all Sects.

After all, the two life lamps, the imperial-level exercises, and the beheading of Sheng Yunzi made Xu Qing's place a lot of weight in the hearts of this generation of disciples in the Yinghuangzhou sect.

Now that the sword-wielding trial is imminent, those who think their strength is fair, most of them want to show the aura of suppressing Da Zong Tianjiao here, so as to attract the attention of the sword-wielding court and gain points for themselves.

So not only Xu Qing was challenged here, but also other arrogances in the alliance were frequently challenged, and the same was true for other big sects, with people competing every day.

There is only one person here, and no one dared to challenge him from the beginning to the end. This person is Zhang Siyun, the Daoist of Taisi Xianmen, who is also known as the No. 1 of this generation in Yinghuang Prefecture.

It was rumored that he already possessed the combat power of the Sixth Palace, and at such an age, the disciples of all sects did not dare to fight, and they were all in awe.

And he did not stay in the city of Absolute Beginning, but went to the depths of the ice field, it is said that he used the environment here to sharpen his own spells.

Compared with it, Xu Qing's combat strength is at most the third and fourth palaces in the eyes of outsiders, so he naturally becomes the best challenge object for the cultivation of Daozi who is second to Taisi Xianmen.

Among the people who challenged him, there were also people from the Taisi Xianmen, and Xu Qing had no interest in this kind of tasteless challenge.

At this moment, he was walking in a large market, scanning the left and right stalls, wanting to see if there were any special poisonous weeds.

There are quite a lot of monks here, besides the local casual cultivators, there are also some disciples from the human clan sects from all directions, which is very lively.

Soon Xu Qing stopped, and his eyes fell on a booth.

The items sold here are all materials for alchemy and refining equipment, and there are also some medicinal herbs in them.

One of them, the five-line Cordyceps sinensis, was listed in Xu Qing's Pharmacopoeia as a very good poison-melting and transforming substance. It has special medicinal properties, and it needs gold energy to preserve it after it is unearthed.

So he walked over, and before he got close, he heard someone talking about his name.

"Have you heard that Li Ziliang from the Taisi Xianmen has accepted nine challenges and won all nine times? He has a strong Golden Core and Four Palaces. Now in the Taisi Xianmen, he is second only to them in the limelight. Daozi."

"This person is really good. Some time ago, he reached a height of more than 500 feet from Youzhu. It is said that that is not his limit."

"He was also born at an untimely time. If there is no Zhang Siyun in the Taisi Xianmen, this person should also be able to become a Taoist."

"I heard that he has challenged Xu Qing, the prospective Daoist of the Eight Sects Alliance, three times. Xu Qing is obviously afraid. Most people from small places have the same habit and dare not challenge. Recently, all the sects are laughing about this matter. "

When Xu Qing heard this, he turned his head and glanced expressionlessly. Those who were talking about this were three Xiaozong disciples who were attached to the Taisi Xianmen.

Xu Qing has seen many such people.

Obviously their cultivation is ordinary, but they are keen to comment on the strong. It seems that in the contempt of these comments and words, they can find their sense of existence.

Xu Qing glanced at the faces of the three people, took it back, walked to the booth, and pointed to the five-line cordyceps.

The stall owner was a bald-headed monk, blind in one eye, and the other eye showed a cold light. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Qing, rolled up the herb with a wave of his hand, and handed it to Xu Qing.

"This herb costs two thousand spirit stones."

Xu Qing took the caterpillar fungus in his hand, checked it, nodded and gave the spirit stone, put the caterpillar fungus away, and asked a question.

"Is there any more?"

"Yes!" The stall owner's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he took out a small clay tile bottle from his body, opened it carefully, took out three golden caterpillar fungus, and handed it to Xu Qing.

But Xu Qing's eyes fell on the small clay bottle.

Generally speaking, the bottles used by monks are either jade, gold or iron, or wood, but simple mud tiles are rare.

But nourishing the five-line golden caterpillar fungus requires gold gas, which surprised Xu Qing. After careful inspection, he found a sharp breath emanating from the small clay tile bottle.

"What is contained here is gold gas?" Xu Qing pointed at the vial.

The bald monk glanced at Xu Qing and grinned.

"Fellow Daoist, this is not an ordinary golden energy, but the Qi of Geng Jin from the previous chapter exuding from the Pillar of Absolute Beginning Liyou. It was obtained by my luck when I climbed the Pillar of Absolute Beginning Liyou."

"This Qi can only be contained by mud tiles, and it is usually used for one-time use in the refining tool. I don't have a magical tool at hand, so I temporarily use it to nourish the caterpillar fungus."

"Do you want to buy it? This thing is very expensive, 50 spirit stones!"

The bald monk licked his lips, and he could see that the person in front of him should be a monk of the Zongmen. Before buying Cordyceps without bargaining, he must have money.

Xu Qing murmured, he had heard from the captain about the aura emanating from Liyou Zhu in the early days, and it also contained the so-called Gengjin aura of the last chapter.

This reminded him of his iron sign.

So after pondering, Xu Qing took out the jade slips, made a questioning posture, and then shook his head.

"I've inquired, and there should be quite a few people who have sold this Qi over the years. I have a maximum of [-] spirit stones, and I won't buy any more."

The bald man looked displeased. He was also in urgent need of spiritual stones to buy elixirs recently. He was going to break through the three fires and build the foundation to step into the golden elixir of the Heavenly Palace. He also offered the price because he felt that Xu Qing was rich.

But Xu Qing's counter-offer made him feel like he was joking, so just as he was about to shake his head, Xu Qing glanced at the bald head and suddenly spoke.

"I still have a Yungong Pill." Xu Qing said, and took out a pill bottle, which he bought before he was promoted to Tiangong Golden Pill, but he didn't use it later, and the value was about 30 spirit stones.

This pill is helpful for promotion to the Heavenly Palace, and it is only sold for the bulk, and casual cultivators cannot buy it directly.

When the bald monk heard the words, his expression froze, he opened it and took a sip, moved slightly, hesitated for a while, and nodded.

"make a deal!"

As he spoke, he handed the small clay tile bottle to Xu Qing, and immediately closed the stall and left.

Xu Qing took the small clay bottle, shook it and put it away. He planned to go back to the station and try to see if it worked for the iron sign.

At this moment, he was walking towards the station, and in the distance, in the direction of Taichuli Youzhu, there were bursts of uproarious sounds.

Xu Qing raised his head, and what he saw in his eyes was the towering Taichu Liyou Pillar, where someone climbed more than five hundred feet.

This person was the Tianjiao of the Immortal Sect of Absolute Beginning that he had seen when he came here before, and also the Li Ziliang that those people were talking about just now. He had challenged Xu Qing many times, but Xu Qing ignored them all.

At this moment, he has surpassed the previous limit, and has reached the position of six hundred feet, which has aroused the discussion of the monks near Liyou Zhu in the early days.

For example, Huang Yikun and some arrogances of Qixuetong are only in the position of more than 200 feet.

Now whether it is the Eight Sects Alliance or other sects, he is the one who takes part in the highest position, suppressing the disciples of each sect, and he is in the limelight for a while.

Xu Qing's expression was normal, and he looked away.

He didn't pay attention to it, and left Fangshi while walking forward, and when he was getting closer to the Eight Sect Alliance's residence, Xu Qing saw a Taoist altar.

There are many Taoist altars in Liyou City in the early days, most of which are about the cultivation methods, and they are uniformly arranged by the sword holding court.

Occasionally, a sword wielder would come and tell the story in person. Although it was not free, it was just a symbolic collection of a spirit stone.

At this moment, there are dozens of casual cultivators outside the altar, not many, so what they are talking about is not the method of practice, but the way of vegetation.

In the distance, there was a hoarse voice of vicissitudes, coming from the Taoist altar.

"Green lotus dew, also known as Qinglian dew, is the flower bud of the lotus plant in the water lily family. It is an aromatic water obtained from a special method of warming fire. It has the function of calming the lungs and curing hemoptysis due to fire..."

"Golden grass, also known as..."

Xu Qing paused, these two passages were very familiar to him, they were exactly the records of herbal medicine in his herbal classics, verbatim.

With a thought, he turned his head and looked over.

At this glance, Xu Qing's whole body trembled, and bright lights appeared in his eyes.

He saw a thin old man.

The old man was wearing a gray robe. Although there were many wrinkles on his face, his eyes were piercing and deep, as if they contained wisdom, and his voice was pure and gentle.

Similar to Master Bai, but not.

Xu Qing's eyes dimmed a bit, he stood there listening for a while, then left silently.
