The road to immortality is difficult, bones build immortality

Jingguo, Haicheng, ranks second among the nine major cities in Jingguo.

It has a radius of more than two hundred miles and is densely populated with more than a million people.

This city is adjacent to the vast sea, with turbulent waves and endless horizons.

From Jincheng to Haicheng, Qingchen traveled thousands of miles, almost crossing the entire territory of Jingguo, and finally arrived here.

When Qingchen finally stepped into Haicheng,

Qingchen was also overwhelmed by the sight in front of him.

Compared with Jincheng where Qingchen lived before,

Haicheng is even more prosperous and shining like a pearl.

There are rows of shops on both sides of the street.

Silk and satin shop, jewelry pavilion, teahouse and restaurant,

There are a dazzling array of shops of all kinds, bustling with people.

Pedestrians, carriages and horses are everywhere, and various dialects and hawking sounds are intertwined.

Compared with this, Jincheng pales in comparison to a small country town.

The architectural style of Haicheng is unique, combining the simplicity of the Central Plains and the agility of the seaside.

The blue bricks and black tiles reveal a different kind of elegance that makes people forget to leave.

"Hey, you look like a foreigner."

A rather clever long-haired boy came forward to talk to Qingchen.

"How did you see that?" Qingchen looked at the long-haired boy warily after hearing this.

"We are just eating this bowl of rice. If we can't tell that you are new here, then it would be a waste of time.

People who often travel to Haicheng are already accustomed to the scene here.

When you led your horse into the city just now, you looked left and right on both sides of the street. I knew you were here for the first time. " said the long-haired boy.

"Oh, then what do you eat?" Qingchen asked curiously.

"Then you are right to ask. I have grown up in Haicheng since I was a child. There are so many teahouses, taverns, brothels, and inns here. I am Men Qing'er.

If you want to stay in a hotel or do something else, just ask me. All you need is a small reward. "

The long-haired boy raised his eyes with an eager look on his face.

Qingchen threw a tael of silver and the long-haired boy was overjoyed after catching it.

Ordinary customers only give him a few copper coins, but this one tael of silver is enough to cover his expenses for a month, so he is really a big customer.

"This is the deposit. If it's your fault, if you return it well, you will be rewarded heavily." Qingchen said grandly.

"Sir, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything!"

The long-haired boy said eagerly, looking at Qingchen as if he were seeing the God of Wealth.

"Are there particularly many foreigners this month?" Qingchen asked.

"Yes, yes, this month is also strange. Not only are nobles from other cities in Jingguo coming, but people from other six countries are also coming.

Let's look at their luxurious clothes. They are either rich or noble. Now the whole city is under martial law and the control is very tight. "

The long-haired boy answered hurriedly.

"Then where do these people usually live?" Qingchen continued to ask.

"The nobles from the other six countries are usually entertained by the Honglusi officials in the city and are placed in the Dianke Pavilion. The nobles from our Jing Kingdom are hosted by the city lord himself and are usually placed in the Lixian Pavilion next to the city lord's palace." The long-haired boy answered road.

"Take me to the inn closest to Lixian Hall." Qingchen said calmly after hearing this.

So, Qingchen followed the long-haired boy for half an hour and arrived at a place called "Haicheng Inn".

Qingchen once again tossed out a tael of silver and walked into the inn amidst the nagging of the other party's gratitude.

A month ago, he and Zhao Ningyi met here.

At noon, we talked together in the inn closest to Lixian Hall.

At this moment, Qingchen was sitting at the first table at the entrance of Haicheng Inn.

The table was filled with five or six exquisite dishes, and a bottle of old wine was waiting to be opened.

Time passed by, and suddenly I saw a woman in red walking into the inn.

His face was as cold as frost, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside the inn door.

His smile suddenly bloomed, attracting the side glances of passers-by around him.

"My sister has missed you this month. What about you, do you miss your sister or the token?"

Zhao Ningyi approached Qingchen with a hint of joking in her words.

When Qingchen heard this, he lost his usual alertness and just hummed slightly, with a slightly strange look on his face.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhao Ningyi was keenly aware of his changes and asked with concern.

"If I really have spiritual roots, what will you do?"

Qingchen asked this question out of nowhere.

"Huh, then I'll ask father to tie you up and prevent you from leaving!"

Zhao Ningyi pretended to be angry, then smiled and said,

"Why are you asking this suddenly?

In another hour, the Immortal of Ningxuan Sect will be coming, and you will naturally know when the time comes.

You see, I even made a pair of blue boots specially for you.

I have been learning for so long, and I have only done it for my father and mother. "

When Qingchen heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. This was the first time in his two lives that someone had sewed clothes for him.

He was a little confused and didn't know how to respond, so he just murmured:

"It's so beautiful, but why is it blue?"

"Because I feel like you have a lot of things on your mind.

Seeing blue things makes people feel better.

It took me a whole month to make it, please praise me! "

Zhao Ningyi was like a child at this moment, looking forward to taking credit.

Qingchen opened his mouth and took the boots, but fell into silence.

Zhao Ningyi still looked happy, and then handed a simple token to Qingchen.

"Put it away, this is the only one in Jincheng." She warned.

Qingchen took the token and said softly, "Thank you."

"Is that all?" Zhao Ningyi muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"If tomorrow I find out that I have no spiritual roots, I will give up everything and travel the world with you."

Qingchen stared at Zhao Ningyi and said firmly.

After hearing Qingchen's words, Zhao Ningyi felt inexplicably flustered at this moment,

"Why do I suddenly feel flustered?"

Qingchen didn't say anything, but took out a jade piece from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ningyi,

"This is a jade piece I found from a mountain. It is very precious. I haven't come across the same material so far. I give it to you."

In fact, this is Qingchen chopping up the jade bottle containing the elixir, and Qingchen picked up the scattered jade pieces. What if they are useful in the future?

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat. Isn't this useful.

"It looks really good." Zhao Ningyi took the jade piece given by Qingchen, but she was not as happy as usual, and remained silent.

The two of them sat quietly like this. After an unknown amount of time, Qingchen suddenly felt drunk.

When he wanted to drink, he suddenly heard the roar of the waves, followed by thunder in the daytime!

Then, a series of crisp bell sounds echoed in the air.

"Here we come." Zhao Ningyi said softly, but there was no joy in her tone.

"Let's go." Qingchen stood up and took a step.

The two walked silently on the road. When they passed a small pond, various carps swam in the pond.

Zhao Ningyi suddenly spoke:

"Look at those two carps. The one on the left is determined to cross the Dragon Gate and turn into a dragon, while the one next to it, although knowing that it can't compare with it, is still willing to accompany it to the Dragon Gate.

In the end, they can only watch the carp on the left turn into a dragon and soar into the sky, or the carp on the left doesn't even cross the Dragon Gate and falls on the river bank.

You say, how nice it would be if they could just swim freely in the water like this."

Time passed, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the seaside.

The scene in front of them shocked Qingchen: On the sea, a fairy ship was quietly anchored.

This fairy ship was hundreds of feet long and dozens of feet wide, like a small island floating in the air.

It exuded a faint aura, reflecting the surrounding space hazy and mysterious.

Mysterious runes flowed on the surface of the hull, and people could feel its extraordinary aura at a glance.

Suddenly, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky, and a group of immortals in gorgeous Taoist robes came in the air.

The Taoist robes were embroidered with complex runes, emitting a faint spiritual light.

They seemed to be walking in the void, and every step created ripples.

Hundreds of people had gathered beside the immortal ship, all of them were nobles with extraordinary clothes.

The moment the immortal appeared, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly.

Qingchen also hurriedly pulled Zhao Ningyi to kneel on the ground. At this time, there was silence and no one dared to speak.

It seemed that the sound of Dharma came from the void. The sound was not loud, but it was unusually clear in everyone's ears:

"The person holding the token, come forward."

After the voice fell, no one dared to come forward. Obviously, they were shocked by the scene of the appearance of the immortal.

For a time, the mind was shaken and the whole body could not move.

"Hurry up and come forward. If you miss the time, I will not take you anymore!"

A loud shout brought everyone back to reality.

Then some people started jogging,

head down and headed towards the immortal.

Qingchen turned his head and looked at Zhao Ningyi with a complicated look.

Then he turned and walked towards the immortal's ship.

The immortal made a spell and a stream of spiritual light hit the people who came forward.

"No spiritual roots."

"No spiritual roots."

...

"Low-grade water and wood spiritual roots, come on board."

"No spiritual roots."

"No spiritual roots."

...

"Middle-grade five-element spiritual roots, okay, come on board."

"No spiritual roots."

"No spiritual roots."

...

"Upper-grade wind spiritual roots? Not bad, come on board quickly."

"No spiritual roots."

"No spiritual roots."

...

More than a hundred people, although it seemed like a lot, but with the spiritual light flashing in the air.

It took less than a quarter of an hour to test them all.

There were only a dozen people left on this side of the ship.

The tokens of the others who did not have spiritual roots were taken away and they were driven back.

Only then did Qingchen realize that not everyone had the chance.

Like the Lord of Jincheng, he asked a master to test the spiritual roots of his children.

Most people came here with tokens to try their luck.

"Qingchen!" At this time, a woman in red suddenly ran over from the crowd.

"Why do you have spiritual roots? Why!" She burst into tears.

Everyone present was dumbfounded like wooden sculptures and clay statues.

They never expected that someone would dare to shout loudly in front of the immortal.

Is this person crazy and looking for death?

"Ningyi, why don't you leave quickly! The immortal is here, don't act rashly!"

A middle-aged man with a dignified look grabbed the woman in red and scolded in a low voice.

Qingchen looked at the woman in red, opened his mouth, but did not speak, then turned around and walked towards the immortal ship.

Seeing Qingchen gradually walking up to the fairy ship, Zhao Ningyi seemed to be in a state of madness.

"I wish you to become a fairy!" Her voice drifted gently in the wind.
