Ten days later.
On a stone road on the mountainside of Shoushan...
"Senior, spare me! Senior..."
"Senior, please forgive me! A villain has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, please let us go, my lord has a lot of money, we have wives and children in our family, we are just a moment of confusion..."
At this time, two big men in gray clothes were kneeling in the woods beside the stone road, one was weeping bitterly, the other spoke clearly.There was also the headless corpse of a man in gray on the ground.
Lu Jingnan folded his arms and looked at them coldly.
Cao Cuo and his group of three passed the stone road just now, and the three Qi training monks suddenly jumped up from the forest and killed the three of them.
Then there is no more then.
The man who killed Cao Cuo lost his head before he got close, and the other two realized that there was a foundation-building cultivator among the three.
They immediately knelt down, but they were cursing in their hearts:
You, a foundation-building cultivator, don't fly with an imperial weapon, don't you want a card face?You have harmed our three brothers, senior, do you know that!
Cao Cuo was also speechless for a while, this is the sixth time he has encountered robbers in a few days, the outside of Shoushanfang City is quite chaotic, and the law and order here is not as good as Shiling City.
This kind of little thieves in the Qi training realm didn't even have a decent magic weapon on them, and rushed out with mortal weapons regardless. I don't know where they got the courage to rob a foundation-building monk.
He didn't even think about it, where is the foundation establishment cultivator going up the mountain on foot.
"No more! Let's deal with it!"
"Rao..."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Jingnan did not hesitate, and clapped an iron palm on the heads of the two of them.
Cracking the brains of the two will end their sinful lives. These two people have blood on their bodies, and they have killed more than one person today.
Lu Qingmei looked closely at her with bright eyes, her face was eager to try, she was not afraid at all, she just wanted to try her fledgling swordsmanship, but she didn't expect that the robber would kneel down in time...
Cao Cuo patted the red gourd on his waist to appease the 93 green locusts that had shrunk inside. They were a little excited just now and wanted to come out with bloodthirsty corpses, but this is the boundary of Shoushanfang City, and there are many monks. I don't want to reveal the secret of the green locust.
There was only a low-grade storage bag on the body of the three bandits. There were not many valuable things in it, most of them were origin stones, which should be obtained from robbery. It is estimated to be worth a few hundred talismans, which is better than nothing.
Cao wrongly took the two of them and continued on their way...
Not long after, monks with flying imperial weapons occasionally passed by in the sky, and the fog gradually formed in the mountains. He reckoned that they were already close to the formation barrier in Shoushanfang City.
Shoushan is the largest mountain on the Caishiyuan, stretching for hundreds of miles. Shoushanfang City is hidden in a formation barrier. It is shrouded in fog all year round, making it difficult for outsiders to see. Special talismans are required to enter and exit unimpeded.
As long as Cao Cuo's foreign foundation-building monks reveal their spiritual consciousness to the barrier, there will naturally be guard monks in the square city to come out to receive them, register their identities, perform mana rubbings, and offer talismans.
These are all the news that he got from the monks stationed in Shiling City after two days of hard work.
Cao Cuozheng used his spiritual sense to attract the guards in Fangshi, suddenly frowned slightly, and looked into the distance.
"Whoosh!"
A monk who stepped on a green leather gourd flew straight towards him, hovered not far away, and heard a gentle voice:
"This fellow Taoist, but you want to go to Fangshi, why don't you go forward with the imperial weapon?"
Cao mistakenly looked at the person who came, a young and handsome foundation-building cultivator, with a white face and blue robes, full of spirit wine aroma, with a gentle and slutty look, he responded:
"I met this fellow Taoist. My magic weapon was accidentally destroyed in a fight with others. I am going to buy it in Shoushanfang City."
Who is this person and what is his purpose?
Of course he would not say that he detonated the only magic weapon.
The blue-robed youth cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"That's how it is. Don't blame Daoist friends. I just saw that Daoist friends were born in person, and they were about the same age as me, and they were also in the foundation building stage. I wanted to get acquainted. I don't know which family's disciples went out to practice? It's Xia Jinxiu Pei's house. A side branch disciple, Pei Donglai!"
Cao Cuo was a little surprised, the Pei family?The Jin royal family, Jinxiu City, the capital, the Pei family, the head of the four great Nascent Soul families?
Feeling doubts in his heart for a while, Cao Cuo replied politely:
"This Daoist Pei is very polite. My name is Cao Cuo. I am a casual cultivator in Zeguo, not a family member. I just came to Shoushanfang City and want to see it, so I can buy a handy magic weapon!"
Cao Cuo made sufficient preparations before entering Shoushanfang City, combined with the geography of mountains and rivers, and compiled a new set of origins by the way.
This person is quite enthusiastic, it seems that he really intends to make friends, and the two have a very happy chat...
"Who is this?" Pei Dong looked at the absent-minded Lu Qingmei.
"She is my registered disciple, Lu Qingmei." Cao Cuo replied.
Pei Donglai praised: "This little girl is beautiful and natural, there is a faint sword energy hidden between her eyebrows, she is a good piece of raw jade."
Lu Qing frowned, and quietly hid behind Cao Cuo.
Cao Cuo was secretly surprised. This Pei Donglai could not only see that Lu Qingmei had good aptitude, but also that she had good swordsmanship.
Lu Qingmei is now in the late stage of Qi training. She just broke through to the seventh level of Qi training a few days ago. Abnormal aptitude, after all, she is a mortal...
Lu Jingnan was also a little nervous, he also knew that his daughter's secret should not be revealed...
Cao Cuo quietly protected Lu Qingmei behind him, and then responded: "Fellow Daoist Pei has won the prize, but the young apprentice just has a little bit of talent."
Pei Donglai turned around and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Cao, meeting is fate, and I happen to be going back to Fangshi too, why don't I give you a ride and introduce you to some customs and customs in Shoushan."
Cao mistakenly saw that Pei Donglai no longer paid attention to Lu Qingmei, and he didn't feel any malice from the beginning to the end, maybe it was just a warm-hearted nature.
It's too abrupt to refuse the kindness at this time...
After the two sides approached, if something happened, Pei Donglai would be in a more dangerous situation than him.
"The kindness is hard to turn down, so thank you, Fellow Daoist Pei."
After Cao Cuo saluted and thanked him, he took the father and daughter of the Lu family and boarded the gourd magic weapon that became bigger again.
The gourd turned into a green glow, wrapped up everyone, and flew away...
only for a moment.
The gourd magic weapon has reached the periphery of the enchantment.
Pei Donglai urged the talisman in his hand, and the monks guarding the barrier quickly stepped forward to verify it.
Cao paid [-] talismans by mistake, and after completing all the procedures, he received three talismans engraved with the words "Shoushan".
With the talisman in hand, the group of people passed through the thick formation barrier smoothly.
The vitality of the world within the enchantment suddenly was ten times that of the outside world, and a city standing proudly on the top of a flattened mountain came into view.
Pei Donglai introduced: There is a prototype of the Wannian Lingyan in the first mountain, and with the large formation formed by several alchemy monks, this place has been transformed into a blessed place of practice not inferior to Nanyi City.
Pei Donglai pointed to the city on the top of the mountain and said:
"Although Shoushanfang City is called Fangshi, its scale is comparable to a city. There are twelve connected squares in it. Nearly 600 monks practice in it. There are also [-] monks like you and me who are at the foundation level."
Cao Cuo casually asked:
"I don't know how many seniors who are in the alchemy realm in this square city?"
"The whereabouts of many immortals are uncertain. In Fangshi, there are only three immortals. The first one is the owner of this place: the owner of Shoushanfang; the second is Shilong in Shilongfang. Weng; the third is Master Yulin of Yulin Square.
As for whether there are other alchemy cultivators living in seclusion here, it is beyond our foundation establishment juniors to know. "
"Friend Cao Dao..."
Pei Donglai suddenly smiled awkwardly, pointed somewhere in the city, and suggested:
"It's the Sword Lifting Workshop, and the Swords Burning Spring in the Qiqi Building in the workshop is a famous fine wine in Nanyi, how about... let's go there and continue talking?"
Cao Cuo laughed a little, how could he fail to understand what he meant, he wanted him to treat guests to a drink.
He didn't lack money in his pocket, and he didn't mind, agreeing:
"I have also heard a little about the reputation of burning spring with a sword. Fellow Daoist Pei gave us a ride and introduced the scenery of Shoushan. I should also thank you a little bit. Why don't you invite fellow Taoists to taste this fine wine from Nanyi with me."
Pei Donglai was overjoyed, it seems that this Loose Cultivator Cao Daoist is a magnanimous person, unlike some miserly sons of wealthy families who don't even want to buy a glass of wine.
He agreed with all his mouth, flew into the Sword Lifting Workshop with the gourd, and hovered in front of a slightly dilapidated old restaurant.
