Chapter 120
Yun Qingyao smiled. She could not hide the smugness in her big, curved eyes.
"Then tell me, where did you get these things?"
"I got it from a dead person."
Xia Wuji said casually.
"From a dead person?"
Yun Qingyao was stunned.
That meant the dead could not testify.
Xia Wuji ignored her. Then, he took out spirit herbs from his storage ring and placed them on the table.
Looking at the 500 Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers on the table, Yun Qingyao fell silent.
The smile on her face froze as well.
After a while, she said, "You're really rich."
She was present when the Seven-leaf Silver Silk Bloodsoul Flower was auctioned that day.
Naturally, she knew the price.
He Jun had spent 3,000 low-grade Spirit Stones to buy it.
Compared to the Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower, the Seven-leaf Silver Silk Bloodsoul Flower was trash.
The difference in value was like heaven and earth.
She did not know how much it could be sold for.
However, she felt it was at least 20 times more.
There were 500 of them here.
Even if they were sold for 50,000 to 60,000 low-grade Spirit Stones each, they would be worth 25 million to 30 million low-grade Spirit Stones here.
If converted to medium-grade Spirit Stones, it would be 250,000 to 300,000 mid-grade Spirit Stones.
That was why Yun Qingyao said Xia Wuji was really rich.
However, she did not know that Xia Wuji actually had more than 1,000 of them on him. He just did not take them out.
"Part of these Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers will be used to refine pills, and the rest will be sold. We'll try our best to maximize our profits! "
Yun Qingyao immediately made a decision.
Xia Wuji gave them all the loot he had on him and let Xia Hu and Yun Qingyao deal with it.
They looked outside. The rain was still pouring. It would not stop for a while.
Xia Wuji said, "I'll head to the capital tomorrow morning. Both of you will go to the Taoist sect."
Xia Hu and Yun Qingyao immediately objected.
Xia Wuji waved his hand and said, "You won't be of any use if you go. Instead, you'll be a burden."
He pointed at the pile of things on the table and said, "Only by exchanging these things for spirit stones as soon as possible will it be the greatest help to me."
Yun Qingyao thought for a moment and nodded, indicating that she agreed with Xia Wuji's words.
"Okay, we'll wait for you at the Taoist sect."
"Oh, that's right, what kind of pill cauldron do you need to refine pills? If I'm free along the way, I can help you ask around. "
Xia Wuji asked.
Yun Qingyao smiled and shook her head, "I don't need a Pill Cauldron to refine pills."
"How can I refine without a cauldron?"
Xia Wuji asked in surprise.
Using a cauldron to refine pills was common knowledge.
"You'll know when the time comes."
Yun Qingyao kept him in suspense.
Xia Wuji looked at her and nodded at the two of them. "Do as you please."
After saying that, he turned around to wash up and rest.
Early the next morning, Xia Wuji got up.
The rain outside had also stopped, and the birds began to chirp happily in the treetops. Many birds had died in the heavy rain last night, and the birds that survived were naturally very excited, so they were chirping happily.
But at this moment, the City Lord Mansion and the Fairy Pavilion were not so happy.
People found that there were no fairies in the Fairy Pavilion, but all the corpses of snake demons. The city guards immediately sealed off the scene.
The Liu family was even more unhappy.
Their daughter was dead, and their backer was gone.
The entire Liu family was filled with sadness and fear.
If the City Lord didn't care about the old relationship, the Liu family might be torn apart.
When Liu Chan was still alive, the Liu family had many conflicts with other families.
Now that their backer was gone, it was easy to imagine what the result would be.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that the City Lord was also gone.
The Liu family was not going to simply decline. They would definitely disappear in the end.
Those big families would never let go of such an opportunity to reshuffle the cards.
Every time the cards were reshuffled, blood would flow like a river.
In addition, the Treasure Tower of the World was ransacked. Except for the workers who went home at night, the rest of the guards, including the manager, Lu Wenqing, were all killed.
And in the backyard of the Vientiane Tower, a corpse was found.
And in the North City, more than ten people were found dead in a pawnshop. The corpses were strewn everywhere, and some of the corpses had long been soaked in the rain.
The entire Blue Moon City was in an uproar.
But this had nothing to do with Xia Wuji. When the sun rose and the city gates opened, the three of them left Blue Moon City.
Outside the city.
Yun Qingyao's mind moved, and the Autumn Water Sword appeared. It suddenly became bigger, about one meter wide and five meters long.
She jumped lightly and stood on it.
She said to Xia Hu, "Come up."
This guy could only run, and couldn't fly. In order not to waste time, she could only carry him and fly together.
"Standing in front or behind?"
Xia Hu looked at such a big sword, touched his bald head, and asked.
Although he hadn't experienced flying on a sword, he had seen how people stood.
"You're so big, can you stand?"
Yun Qingyao curled her lips, pointed to the sword hilt, and said, "You'd better sit. Sit behind."
"Okay."
This 2.3 meters big guy finally sat behind the spiritual sword.
Just as he sat down.
Swish —
The spiritual sword flew out.
But except for the initial inertia, Xia Hu didn't feel the wind blowing on him. The spiritual sword automatically formed an oval light shield, enveloping him and his sister, Yun Qingyao.
Xia Wuji also used the Flying Heaven Steps to fly.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them disappeared into the sky.
After flying for half an hour, the three of them separated.
"Young Master, remember to go to the Taoist sect early."
Xia Hu sat on the spiritual sword and shouted to Xia Wuji.
"Got it."
"Take care."
Yun Qingyao said.
Xia Wuji nodded, "Take care."
In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the distance.
…
Tianshui Commandery.
In a room on the second floor of the Vientiane Tower.
Guo Shiqi looked at the furious Du Changsheng and said with a frown, "Old Du, you can't blame me for this. I asked him to send something to the Treasure Tower of the World, but who knew that he wouldn't come back. Even the item is gone. In the end, I'm also a victim."
"Victim? What victim? My nephew is dead! I'm the f * cking victim! "
Du Changsheng roared.
"Tell me, how did my nephew die? Where is his body now?! "
Guo Shiqi spread out his hands and said, "How would I know?"
"Blue Moon City is so big, and I didn't let him out of the city. How would I know something would happen to him? After that, I sent people to search many places, but they couldn't find him. "
"Anyway, it's your business! My nephew works for you, so you should be responsible for his safety! "
Du Changsheng roared.
"Hey? You're being unreasonable. " Guo Shiqi said, "I'm not his nanny. He's a grown man with a good cultivation and strength. How would I know he would be in danger if he went out?"
"Sigh, if you ask me, this is fate! If it weren't for you back then … "
Before he finished speaking, Guo Shiqi felt the temperature of the whole room drop sharply.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Guo Shiqi looked at Du Changsheng's murderous face and quickly said.
At this moment, Du Changsheng's face suddenly changed.
He stretched out his hand, and a polygonal metal accessory that was nearly two meters wide and one meter high immediately appeared on the table.
At this time, the indicator light on the metal accessory's chest was flashing.
"Old Du, it finally moved!"
Guo Shiqi said excitedly.
Chapter 121
At this time, Xia Wuji, who was flying in the sky, suddenly felt something in his heart.
He felt a call from the unseen world.
The second doppelganger part!
And the direction was —
He flew to the sky and looked in the direction of the call.
He saw a big city in the distance, like a giant beast creeping among the mountains.
A wide river meandered in front of the big city.
From the map given by Xue Wuhen, he knew that this was Tianshui Commandery!
Swish —
Using the Flying Steps to the extreme, he flew to Tianshui Commandery like a meteor.
With his arrival, the indicator light on the chest of the second doppelganger part in the Vientiane Tower flashed faster and faster.
This made the two old guys more and more surprised.
What made this mechanical body, which had not moved for many years, start to move?
What kind of thing was it?
Du Changsheng stared at the flashing frequency.
After a long while, he said, "Hey? Old Guo, look, the frequency is getting faster and faster. "
He seemed to have forgotten that he wanted to fight with Guo Shiqi just now.
Guo Shiqi, who had been staring at the flashing mechanical body, rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not blind. "
Du Changsheng was not angry. He continued, "I mean, is this frequency related to the broken flying boat in the deep pit?"
"The broken flying boat in the deep pit?"
Guo Shiqi was stunned.
"Yes." Du Changsheng said, "Do you remember? Back then, the few of us obtained this thing near the broken flying boat in the deep pit. You took one, Lu Wenqing took one, I took one, and the rest were taken by others. "
"But you know what? When I was holding this, the light was on. Later, after the broken flying boat was taken away by the purple-robed woman, the indicator light on my mechanical body never turned on again. "
"Do you know what this means?"
After hearing Du Changsheng's words, Guo Shiqi suddenly understood.
He said with his eyes wide open, "You mean … Miss Zi is here!"
Du Changsheng nodded, and a light flashed in his eyes. "Yes! She must be here! "
Guo Shiqi sighed and said, "Old Du, I know you still miss your sister-in-law, but I don't think Miss Zi is her."
Du Changsheng abruptly turned his head, glared at him, and shouted, "Bullshit! When did I say that she was her? Can't I just have a thought? "
"Also, you bastard, give me back my nephew's life!"
With that, he reached out to strangle Guo Shiqi's neck.
At this moment, Guo Shiqi hurriedly said, "Wait."
Du Changsheng stretched out his hand and said angrily, "What kind of trick are you playing now?"
Guo Shiqi pointed at the indicator light on the machine and said, "Look, it's not flashing anymore."
Du Changsheng turned his head and was slightly taken aback.
As expected, the indicator light stopped flashing.
It continued to light up.
At this moment, the door opened and an unfamiliar middle-aged man walked in.
Du Changsheng suddenly turned his head and looked at him. "Who are you? How did you get in? "
The middle-aged man was Xia Wuji. His appearance was naturally a masterpiece of Thousand Illusion Faces.
He said with a smile, "Of course, I walked in."
Du Changsheng was dissatisfied that he had entered uninvited, but he still asked, "Then what are you doing here?"
Xia Wuji pointed at the mechanical part on the table and said, "Of course, I'm here for this."
"This?"
Du Changsheng was surprised.
Guo Shiqi was also surprised. He hurriedly asked, "Do you know this thing?"
Xia Wuji nodded. "Yes."
Then he walked in front of them and said, "Look."
As he spoke, he gently reached out his hand to the mechanical part.
The two old guys also looked at the mechanical part following Xia Wuji's palm.
When Xia Wuji's palm approached the mechanical part, a vortex appeared in his palm, and then the mechanical part on the table disappeared.
In the black fog space.
The second door and the second mechanical part were finally restored.
[Second Clone: Mechanical Body]
[Ability: Critical Hit; Disintegration and Recovery; Void Power; Enter the Astral World]
Although he did not switch his consciousness to his clone, Xia Wuji seemed to see a huge and cool metal mechanical body standing in the starry sky.
At the same time, he felt a force of nothingness growing in his body.
This was the power of the second clone. As the master, he could only borrow a little.
However, he felt that this little bit was enough to increase his combat strength by quite a bit.
This combat power was mainly reflected in his movement speed.
Moreover, when he used the Flying Steps to fly, his speed would be even faster.
Xia Wuji was extremely satisfied. This trip to the capital was really worth it.
He did not expect to restore the last part of the mechanical body without any effort.
He looked at the two of them and asked with a smile, "Did you see it clearly?"
The two old men nodded. "Yes."
They thought to themselves, "A vortex appeared in my palm, and then the mechanical part disappeared. How could I not see it clearly?"
Xia Wuji said, "It's good that you saw it clearly."
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Guo Shiqi and Du Changsheng looked at each other and immediately came back to their senses. Two huge auras suppressed him.
"Stop!"
Du Changsheng shouted.
Xia Wuji turned around and asked, "What else?"
Du Changsheng narrowed his eyes, and a huge aura rose. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shouldn't you say something?"
"Oh, right, right." Xia Wuji came to a realization and sincerely cupped his fists. "Thank you!"
Thank you???
Damn it, you took away the treasure that I've kept for so many years, and you said thank you?
Do you think this is your home?
Du Changsheng's lungs were about to explode.
"Hehehe, no one has ever played with me like this. You're the first!"
Xia Wuji blinked and said, "So, I'm … honored?"
"Honored? Of course you're honored! " Du Changsheng was a little flustered and exasperated. He said angrily, "You took my things and want to leave? Don't you know where you are? How dare you rob me!"
He said to Guo Shiqi without turning his head, "Old Guo, block the door! Let's see how he can escape from me today! "
Guo Shiqi flashed and immediately blocked the door.
Seeing this, Xia Wuji understood again. "Oh, oh, oh, so you're talking about this."
Du Changsheng sneered.
'Act! Keep acting!
Seeing that you can't escape, you're playing tricks! '
Xia Wuji looked around and said, "This is the Vientiane Tower, right?"
"Hmph, it's good that you know."
Du Changsheng snorted.
Xia Wuji said, "That's easy." As he spoke, he took out a Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower from his storage ring.
He had no choice. This was the only thing he had in his pocket. He had left the rest to Yun Qingyao and Xia Hu.
When the Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower appeared, the two old men's eyes widened. They said in unison, "Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower!"
Du Changsheng's breathing quickened. "You, you …" He gulped and stammered, "You, you're giving this to me?"
Chapter 122
Although the mechanical body was rare, it was only a rare item. It was completely useless.
However, the Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flower was different.
After consuming it, it could greatly increase the strength of one's spirit. It was an extremely precious spirit herb.
He did not expect this person to be so generous as to give him a Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flower.
Du Changsheng felt as though a huge meat pie had fallen from the sky … No, it was a gold ingot.
Guo Shiqi also felt that Du Changsheng was extremely lucky. However, for some reason, he felt a strong sense of jealousy in his heart.
'Why didn't you give me the Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flower?
I used to have a similar mechanical body. Why should I give it to him? '
Just as Guo Shiqi was secretly jealous and Du Changsheng was overjoyed, he heard Xia Wuji say indifferently, "You're thinking too much."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
'Hm?'
Du Changsheng was stunned.
Guo Shiqi was stunned as well. However, at the same time, he sighed in relief.
'He didn't give it to me!'
For some reason, he felt a sense of joy in his heart.
'Isn't this … a little unfair?'
Guo Shiqi asked himself inwardly.
Du Changsheng's expression darkened immediately. A strong chill rose from his body.
"Are you messing with me?"
Xia Wuji said frankly, "No."
"Then why are you taking it out?"
Du Changsheng gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you messing with me?"
"This is the Vientiane Tower. Of course, I'm taking it out to sell." Xia Wuji looked at him as though he was looking at an idiot. He said, "You should know the value of this Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flower, right? I can sell it to you at a cheaper price, but I can't give it to you for free."
Du Changsheng was stunned. "You're saying that the cheaper part is a thank-you gift?"
Xia Wuji nodded. "You're not too stupid."
Huff!
Du Changsheng heaved a sigh of relief. He was slightly depressed.
He looked at Xia Wuji and asked, "Can I not buy it?"
Xia Wuji nodded. "Of course. Since you're not buying it, it means you've given up on the thank-you gift. "
'What?
There's such a bandit logic? '
Du Changsheng had the urge to beat this person up.
However, it was better to get the mechanical body back first. Otherwise, the initiative would always be in the hands of this guy.
Just as he was about to ask for the mechanical body back before discussing the transaction of the Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower …
Xia Wuji exuded a terrifying baleful aura.
The baleful aura was extremely dense, and one could tell at a glance that it was accumulated from killing too many people.
Du Changsheng and Guo Shiqi were shocked.
Although the two of them were both at the peak of the Foundation Realm, when they looked at the middle-aged man, it was as if they were facing a tyrant that killed people like flies. They felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Have you thought it through?"
Xia Wuji said indifferently.
Du Changsheng looked at Xia Wuji and hesitated for a moment before he said, "As you can see, there are two of us here. A Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower isn't enough. Therefore, I hope you can return the mechanical body first …"
Return?
They had already become one, so how could they return?
Besides, how could I possibly return it to you?
Xia Wuji smiled faintly. Without waiting for Du Changsheng to finish, another Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower appeared in his hand.
Another one!
Du Changsheng and Guo Shiqi's eyes widened.
They knew that the Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower was too precious. Usually, they would be lucky to come across one. However, to come across two of them, it was simply a stroke of luck!
"Is it enough?"
Xia Wuji asked. "If it's not enough, I have more."
As he spoke, he took out three more stalks.
Five stalks!
Du Changsheng and Guo Shiqi's eyes almost popped out.
How could there be so many?!
Du Changsheng gulped and asked eagerly, "Where did you get this Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower from?"
"I grew it at home."
Xia Wuji said casually.
'Grew it at home?' Du Changsheng and Guo Shiqi rolled their eyes in their hearts.
'F * ck, do you think this Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower is a cabbage that can grow as you please?'
"What do you think?"
Xia Wuji said, "If you don't want it, I'll sell it elsewhere."
"I want it!"
Du Changsheng said immediately, "Name your price."
Xia Wuji looked at him and said teasingly, "Do you really want me to name my price? A Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower is a precious treasure even in my family. Don't think I don't know its value. "
'Family? Is it really nurtured by my family? '
Du Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.
A family that could nurture a Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower was definitely not a simple family.
Just as she was hesitating to name a suitable price, she heard Xia Wuji say, "Two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones per stalk."
Du Changsheng's heart skipped a beat.
This price … If it was in an auction, it would be acceptable, but to him, it was too high.
"No, no, this price is too high. Ten … No, 80,000 low-grade spirit stones per stalk."
Du Changsheng said.
More than half of it was cut off.
Xia Wuji fell silent for a moment before he nodded and said, "Alright."
Then, he handed a Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflower over.
However, at this moment, Guo Shiqi glanced at Du Changsheng. Du Changsheng immediately understood.
He immediately said, "80,000 low-grade spirit stones per stalk. I want five stalks."
Xia Wuji's hand paused. He glanced at Guo Shiqi before he nodded and said, "Deal. Give me the spirit stones. "
Du Changsheng quickly took out his spirit stones. He discovered that he only had 330,000 spirit stones. He still needed 70,000 spirit stones.
Guo Shiqi hastily handed the 70,000 spirit stones over.
Xia Wuji took the 400,000 spirit stones and handed the five Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflowers to Du Changsheng.
He said to Du Changsheng, "This is equivalent to giving you a favor of 600,000 low-grade spirit stones. You've struck it rich."
Money and goods were exchanged.
Du Changsheng held the five stalks of Spirit Herbs in his hands happily.
The 400,000 spirit stones entered the black cauldron and quickly turned into green Qi.
Xia Wuji was satisfied.
Initially, he wanted to make a deal. However, he reckoned the duo did not have many spirit stones left. It would be a waste of time if he waited for them to gather more spirit stones.
Besides, he had more important things to do.
"Farewell, both of you."
Xia Wuji turned around and left.
He disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
Du Changsheng and Guo Shiqi looked at the five Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflowers in their hands excitedly.
With these Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soulflowers, it was almost certain that they would be able to condense their Jin Dan.
However, after calming down, Guo Shiqi began to suspect Xia Wuji's identity.
When he thought about it, he felt a sense of déjà vu toward Xia Wuji.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out who it was. Their faces did not match at all.
In the end, he could only give up.
At this moment, Xia Wuji was moving as fast as lightning in the sky.
The trace of void energy in his body allowed him to move as fast as lightning.
In the sky, he even felt as though he had returned home. He was free and unrestrained.
…
The capital.
This was also the capital of Dachu.
At this moment, in a dazzling palace.
The graceful and elegant empress, Lu Zhen, was dressed in a phoenix attire with a phoenix crown on her head. She sat on the phoenix throne and asked calmly, "His Majesty hasn't returned to the palace yet?"
The palace maid below kneeled on the ground and replied, "Your Majesty, His Majesty is still in the Green Phoenix Palace. He hasn't left."
Chapter 123
"I know. You may leave."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The palace maid stood up and left. Sitting on the phoenix seat, Lu Zhen's expression was calm. Her gaze was deep, but her heart was filled with worry.
She stood up and walked towards the back of the hall.
A delicate and pretty looking bodyguard of about 20 years old followed closely behind her.
"Sister, are we really going to let His Majesty do whatever he wants?"
A palace maid called the Empress' sister '. Clearly, the relationship between her and the Empress was not ordinary.
Although Lu Zhen was over 50 years old, and the Crown Prince was already 30 years old, she still looked like a 16 year old girl. She was even younger than the personal palace maid beside her.
Her skin was white and smooth, her forehead was full and bright, her eyebrows were long and slender, her lips were soft like cherries, and her face was devastatingly beautiful.
At this moment, she sighed as she walked. Her expression was gloomy as she said softly, "So what?"
"Although I, Lu Zhen, am the Empress of a country, I am a lowly person. His Majesty is obsessed with beauty and evil words. I have tried to persuade him many times, but he did not listen to me. Instead, he ignored me."
"He wants to control the situation, but the Demon Gate is too powerful. He can only watch Great Chu fall into danger without being able to save it …"
The palace maid frowned and said, "Great Chu has been established for three thousand years, and it has been peaceful for a long time. However, a few concubines have turned Great Chu into a mess. His Majesty is skilled in both civil and military matters. Does he not realize that he will harm himself in the long run …"
"Longevity is important, but asking the Demon Gate for the method to break through the Jin Dan and step into the Nascent Soul stage is tantamount to pulling chestnuts out of the fire. It is said that the Demon Gate only has one Nascent Soul cultivator. How can they let you break through to the Nascent Soul stage so easily? "
"To His Majesty, Great Chu is the foundation. The people are the foundation. If the foundation is not firm, the building will collapse. Does His Majesty not understand this?"
"Haha." Lu Zhen laughed, but it was a forced laugh. She said softly, "How can he not understand? He knows all this. "
"If he knows all this, then why does he still allow these demons to run rampant in Great Chu?"
The palace maid was slightly surprised and asked.
Lu Zhen sighed and said, "I'm afraid Great Chu is no longer something he can control.
"Besides, he probably still wants to take a gamble, hoping to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in his lifetime and enjoy another three hundred years of life.
"Although this hope is very slim, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not let it go. This is his last chance."
As they spoke, the two of them had already reached the rear hall. Lu Zhen stood in front of the bed.
The maid removed the cloak from her back and hung it on one side.
She then took off the phoenix coronet and placed it on a golden plate.
Lu Zhen tidied her hair and tucked it behind her ears, revealing her white, swan-like neck.
She sat on the edge of the bed and changed into a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes.
"Qingyi, has the Crown Prince returned?"
The maid replied, "Not yet."
"Sigh …"
Lu Zhen sighed. "This child simply doesn't know that although the human heart is terrifying, the demon heart is even more terrifying. I really don't know what to do with just a few snake demons. "
Qingyi hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard the Crown Prince say in private that he is collecting resources for the Core Formation stage and is preparing to use these demon snakes to train his Dao Heart and step into Jin Dan."
Lu Zhen glanced at her and said, "You believe that? Do you think I don't know about her little tricks? She's just using your mouth to make me feel better. "
She paused for a moment and said, "But then again, it's fine if he really thinks this way. I'm just afraid he won't be able to control himself."
With that, she sighed again.
Qingyi said, "Sister, it's better if you don't worry about these things. It will only harm your body and be detrimental to your cultivation."
"I'm preparing to return to the Xiaoyao Sect. Sister, do you have any words for the Elders?"
"Yes, just say that I'm in the depths of the palace and that Great Chu is getting more and more … Sigh, forget it, don't say anything. All these years, they have also known about my situation and have ignored Great Chu. Isn't it because they are afraid of that … "
As she spoke, her slender finger pointed upwards and sighed, "It's useless even if I say it. It's better not to say it and everyone will be at peace."
Qingyi was silent for a moment and said, "I heard that the Son Of God has recently sent special envoys to all the major cities of Great Chu. It's said that it's because the Sheng God is about to be born. I don't know if it's true or not."
At the mention of the Son Of God, Lu Zhen's expression immediately became serious. She looked at Qingyi and said, "This matter involves the Son Of God. Don't talk about it anymore. If you want to leave, then leave first."
Qingyi nodded and said, "Qingyi will take her leave."
…
"This is the capital?"
Walking on the wide streets of the capital, Xia Wuji looked around.
After experiencing the prosperity of the metropolises in his previous life, the capital that was considered prosperous by ordinary people was just so-so in his eyes.
But compared to Blue Moon City, it was indeed much more prosperous.
Of course, his purpose in coming to the capital was not to travel, but to find the person who took the innate source.
"That person might be related to the Fairy Pavilion … but I wonder if there's a Fairy Pavilion in the capital."
Xia Wuji thought to himself.
In the vast capital, he had no relatives, and he did not know anyone.
It was not easy to find out where that person was in the capital.
But this was not a problem for him.
He stopped a person and cupped his fists. "Brother, may I ask how to get to the Treasure Tower of the World?"
The person looked at him and saw that he had an extraordinary aura. He said, "It's at the end of the Third Imperial Street."
"Then may I ask where the Third Imperial Street is?"
Xia Wuji asked again.
"Is this your first time in the capital?"
The person asked.
Xia Wuji nodded. "Yes."
"I see." The person pointed at a very wide street and said, "That's the First Imperial Street. The third street on the left is the Third Imperial Street."
"Thank you."
Xia Wuji cupped his fists.
Seeing that this person was easy to talk to, Xia Wuji asked again, "Then, may I ask if there's a Fairy Pavilion in the capital?"
The person frowned.
Xia Wuji took out a banknote worth ten taels of Great Chu currency and handed it over.
The person's eyes lit up. He took the banknote at once and put it in his pocket. Then he said enthusiastically, "Of course there's a Fairy Pavilion in the capital. It's full of big shots and powerful fairies."
"Here, it's in this direction. One, two, three … Behind the seventh street, the one with two coiling dragon pillars at the door is the Fairy Pavilion."
"Thank you."
Xia Wuji cupped his fists and then turned to walk toward the Third Imperial Street.
When he reached the Third Imperial Street, his face had changed into another person.
It was Meng Yuechao.
In fact, he could change into Li Boyao. After all, he was a First Grade Golden Sword Envoy.
But Li Boyao was from the capital. He could not respond to people who recognized him.
It was not as convenient as Meng Yuechao.
At the end of the Third Imperial Street, a magnificent building appeared in front of him.
There were five floors in total. It was covered with glazed tiles, jade pillars, and cornices. The huge plaque on the door said, "Treasure Tower of the World."
It had to be said that the Treasure Tower of the World in the capital was much bigger and more luxurious than Blue Moon City.
Chapter 124
If Blue Moon City's Treasure Tower of the World was compared to a small restaurant, then this was a five-star hotel. They were not on the same level at all.
Just by looking at the two five-meter-tall green Pi Xiu lying on the two sides of the golden door, one could see the difference in quality.
The eight steps were all paved with white jade. The gaps and edges were inlaid with gold and wrapped with gold, showing off its extravagance.
Xia Wuji walked up the steps and stepped on it. He immediately used his spiritual energy to explore the surroundings …
There were many dazzling things here.
Weapons, pills, elixirs, ores, armors, pill furnaces, etc. As long as it was related to cultivation, there was almost everything here.
Xia Wuji walked towards the weapons first.
The nine-ringed broadsword was already missing a large hole. It could no longer withstand his second attack. At most, it could only be used once before the nine-ringed broadsword would break and collapse.
He did not have a better broadsword at the moment, and he could not use artifacts, so he could only buy some ordinary weapons to deal with it.
Unless he encountered a spirit weapon.
But spirit weapons were very expensive and could only be found by chance. Even if he had money, he might not be able to buy one.
Broadswords, spears, swords, halberds, hooks, forks, axes, everything was available.
Looking at the price, it was not expensive.
It was not much different from Blue Moon City's price. Perhaps because of the rich resources here, some were even cheaper.
The broadswords here were basically a few hundred taels of silver each.
Seeing a manservant not far away, he waved his hand.
The manservant immediately came over. "Sir, what do you need?"
Xia Wuji pointed at a straight broadsword that was not too wide and said, "How many of these broadswords do you have?"
This straight broadsword was similar to the Goose Feather Broadsword or the Embroidered Spring Broadsword, but overall, it was more like a Tang Broadsword.
To be able to encounter such a style here, Xia Wuji felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The manservant's eyes lit up.
Could this master be from some martial arts club?
"Master, you have good taste. This broadsword is made of Profound Cold Iron. It is three feet three inches long and one and a half inches wide. It weighs thirty-six kilograms and seven taels. Each one costs seven hundred and fifty taels of silver. Master, how many do you want? "
Xia Wuji thought for a while and said, "Give me fifty."
Fifty may seem like a lot, but it was only enough for him to attack fifty times.
One at a time, so expensive!
Xia Wuji secretly shook his head.
"Please follow me."
The manservant hurriedly said.
He then led the way to the back of the hall, with Xia Wuji following behind.
When they arrived at the storehouse, Xiao Chen had Xia Wuji wait outside while the manservant got the odd-job workers to take out fifty Cold Iron Sabers.
Xia Wuji put them all away and handed over thirty-seven thousand five hundred taels of silver to him.
Seeing Xia Wuji's extravagant spending, the servant quickly said, "Master, our Treasure Tower of the World has many treasures. There is nothing you can't buy. Master, what else do you need? "
Xia Wuji looked around. When he saw the pills in the atrium, he had a plan in his mind.
Calculating the time, it was almost time to enter the Ghost Realm.
This time, he had to prepare more pills.
Of course, some pills were useless to ghost bodies, and some were good medicine to the human body, but to ghost bodies, they were poison.
Therefore, he was carefully analyzing the situation as he flew.
In the end, he came to a conclusion. Pills that could stimulate the soul would attract a lot of interest from people in the Ghost Realm.
In fact, the Dragon Tiger Pill was not useless, but the side effects were quite big.
So this time, he had to prepare to buy some pills that were relatively "gentle", not as fierce as the Dragon Tiger Pill.
Of course, he had to prepare more for this time.
Not every time there was a spendthrift like Lin Yunhao.
"Yes, I have some business to do with Treasure Tower of the World, but I'm afraid you can't make the decision. Call your shopkeeper out."
Xia Wuji said.
Call the shopkeeper?
The servant was stunned.
He thought, "You spent thirty thousand taels of silver, but not to mention thirty to forty thousand taels, even if it was three to four hundred thousand taels, you don't have the qualifications to get the shopkeeper to personally receive you."
The servant hurriedly cupped his fist and said, "Master, you may not know, but our shopkeeper is busy every day. Under normal circumstances, it's hard to see him."
Xia Wuji smiled and said, "I wonder if I can see him for a two hundred thousand spirit stones business?"
Two hundred thousand! Spirit stones!!
The servant was shocked.
He couldn't tell that this master in front of him was actually a gold mine!
"Master, please follow me."
The servant hurriedly led the way, bringing Xia Wuji to the third floor.
In a reception hall, the servant asked Xia Wuji to wait here for a while, while he went to the fourth floor to report.
A moment later, a white-haired old man with a benevolent face appeared.
Xia Wuji scanned with his mental energy, and his eyes moved slightly.
Late stage of Jin Dan stage.
This capital was indeed a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
They were both shopkeepers, but the difference in strength was too great.
In Blue Moon City, the shopkeeper of Treasure Tower of the World, Lu Wenqing, was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and could not be compared to this person.
Most likely, he could only be a middle to lower level deacon here.
He was sizing up this old man, and the old man was also sizing him up.
Scanning with his spiritual sense, he did not find any trace of magic power fluctuations in his body.
He was not a cultivator.
There were faint fluctuations of powerful blood Qi in his body.
This meant that this person was only a martial artist.
Cultivators looked down on martial artists. However, as the shopkeeper of Treasure Tower of the World, the old man had long trained his face to the point where he could remain calm no matter what happened.
Anyone who came was a customer. As long as there was business to be done, he did not care about status.
He cupped his fists calmly and said, "I'm Xue Wenhai, the shopkeeper of Treasure Tower of the World. How should I address you?"
"Meng Yuechao."
Xia Wuji said.
"So, it's Mister Meng." Xue Wenhai cupped his fists and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Please take a seat."
Xia Wuji smiled slightly. This old man did not know Meng Yuechao. He was just being polite when he said he had heard a lot about Meng Yuechao.
After they sat down and had tea served, Xue Wenhai asked, "I wonder what kind of business you'd like to do with my shop, Mister Meng?"
Xia Wuji did not waste time. He immediately took out a Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower and handed it over.
"Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower!"
Xue Wenhai's old eyes lit up imperceptibly. Then, he examined it carefully as if nothing had happened.
After he was done, he placed it on the table in front of him.
"You're selling it?"
Xia Wuji nodded.
"What's the price?"
Xue Wenhai asked.
"200,000 low-grade Spirit Stones."
Xia Wuji did not beat around the bush.
"Mhm, it's a little expensive. Moreover, there's only one." Xue Wenhai said casually, "So, if there's more, and it's 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, I can still reluctantly accept it."
Xia Wuji smiled. This was how these fellows liked to bargain.
"Then, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Xue Wenhai looked at Xia Wuji's confident expression. His heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that this fellow had more Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers?
Initially, he wanted to lower the price a little.
However, it seemed like this fellow still had more.
Initially, he was prepared to say that at least five would be appropriate. However, he changed his mind at the last minute.
"Ten!"
"Ten?"
Xia Wuji raised an eyebrow slightly.
Xue Wenhai smiled faintly. In order to be more persuasive, he coughed lightly and said, "I think you have some understanding of pill refinement …"
Understanding my a * s.
Xia Wuji didn't comment. He also didn't answer and just listened to him quietly.
Xue Wenhai continued, "Generally speaking, there's a success rate for pill refinement masters. However, the success rate in one go is extremely low. It's almost zero. Usually, it takes many tries to refine a cauldron of pills.
Therefore, if it's just a few stalks, there's no guarantee that the pill refinement master will be able to refine a cauldron of pills. It'll be a waste of other Spirit Herbs.
"Only with more than ten stalks will we have the confidence to refine a cauldron of pills. This is why I told you that ten stalks are appropriate.
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Xia Wuji nodded. "I understand. You're saying that the more, the better. It's best if there are more than ten stalks. The price can be maintained at 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones per stalk. Am I right?"
Xue Wenhai's old face was full of smiles. He nodded and said, "Your understanding is very correct."
"How many do you have?"
Xia Wuji waved his hand and said indifferently, "There's no rush for that. Not only do I want to sell Spirit Herbs, but I also want to buy pills. "
"Oh? Mister Meng, please have some tea. "
Xue Wenhai immediately smiled and gestured for Xia Wuji to have some tea.
Chapter 125
"I'm not boasting, but our Treasure Tower of the World has the most complete variety of pills in the entire capital. Our prices are also the most fair. What kind of pills does Mister Meng need? "
Xue Wenhai said.
"The pills I want are of a lower grade, but the quantity is relatively large."
Xia Wuji said.
"I would like to ask the shopkeeper, other than the Dragon Tiger Pill, what other pills are more effective in stimulating the soul?"
"Low-level, stimulating the Divine Soul? Similar to the Dragon Tiger Pill? "
Xue Wenhai looked at Xia Wuji suspiciously.
"Could it be that you want an aphrodisiac?"
Xia Wuji said, "Yeah, something like that. In short, I need a pill that can stimulate the soul to a certain extent."
Xue Wenhai said, "Most of the pills that stimulate the soul are aphrodisiac pills. Let me think …"
"Other than the Dragon Tiger Pill, there's also the Dragon Sun Pill, Divine Tiger Pill, Tiger Wolf Pill, Ten Thousand Spears Pill, Uncollapsing Pill, Seven Night Pill, Ascending Heaven Pill, Absolute Kill Pill, Single Spear Soul Pill..."
Xia Wuji's mouth twitched.
What kind of name was this pill? What kind of words were these?!
Some were simply called Tiger Wolf Pills.
"I don't want those that are too strong. The main effect is to stimulate the soul."
Xia Wuji explained.
"I see." Xue Wenhai pondered for a moment and said, "Among these pills, there are only three types. One is the Dragon Tiger Pill, one is the Tiger Wolf Pill, and one is the Longyang Pill.
"Among them, the Dragon Tiger Pill is more potent than the Dragon Yang Pill, while the Dragon Yang Pill is slightly more potent than the Tiger Wolf Pill."
Xue Wenhai explained.
"Therefore, in terms of stimulating the soul and weakening the Yang energy, the Tiger Wolf Pill is actually better."
"But after taking the Tiger-Wolf Pill, it will be easy for your soul to be exhausted. Are you sure you want this?"
Xia Wuji was secretly delighted. Of course, he wanted this.
However, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's the price of this Tigerwolf Pill?"
Xue Wenhai said, "This kind of medicinal pill is a low-grade consumable. If you buy it with spirit stones, the market price is 100 pills and 68 low-grade spirit stones. If you want more, I'll give you 65 yuan. "
Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.
One pill was less than one spirit stone. It was so damn cheap.
He then nodded and said, "Give me a hundred thousand."
One hundred thousand!
Xue Wenhai's face twitched. "May I ask, what is Mr. Meng's occupation?"
Xia Wuji chuckled and lifted his chin slightly. "You know what I mean."
???
Xue Wenhai thought to himself, What the hell do I know!
However, to be able to buy this kind of medicinal pill, what good could it be?
Xue Wenhai couldn't be bothered to ask further.
He directly ordered people to gather the medicinal pills from the warehouse.
Very soon, a hundred thousand Tiger Wolf Pills were brought over.
Xia Wuji opened it and took a look. He gently inhaled, and his soul seemed to ripple a little.
Then, he didn't mind it and kept them all.
"Next, we'll begin the transaction for the Nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower." Xia Wuji said, "How much is Shopkeeper Xue going to ask for according to the price of 100,000 yuan per plant?"
Xue Wenhai smiled and stroked his beard. "You should tell me how much you have, not how much I want."
Xia Wuji sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't have that many spirit stones."
Xue Wenhai laughed. "You're afraid the Treasure Tower of the Universe doesn't have enough spirit stones? Hahaha! This is the first time I've heard such a joke. "
Xia Wuji said indifferently, "Don't laugh. Show me the spirit stones first. To be honest, I don't believe you. "
It was not that he didn't want to take them out, but the more he took out, the less valuable they would be.
The rarer something was, the more valuable it was.
If he took out too many things, with this old man's character, he would surely try to bargain with him.
Hence, he wanted to see how many spirit stones he had.
Xue Wenhai frowned. However, when he saw Xia Wuji's serious expression, he was slightly shocked and suspicious.
However, since this fellow wanted to verify the spirit stones, he would show it to him.
In any case, with this fellow's strength, he wouldn't be able to rob him.
If he snatched the spirit stones away from him, he, a mid-stage Jin Dan expert, could forget about staying in the capital city. He might as well buy a piece of tofu and knock himself to death.
Then, with a thought, he waved his hand. White spirit stones piled up on the ground. There were even medium-grade spirit stones among them.
"Do you see this? 1.2 million low-grade spirit stones and 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Do you know what this means? "
Xue Wenhai said with a smile.
Xia Wuji said without even looking up, "Yes, it's a lot. Let me count."
He scanned the spirit stones with his Spiritual Energy. Indeed, there were so many of them.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he released his energy and shrouded the spirit stones. Under Xue Wenhai's watchful eyes, he kept all the spirit stones.
"What are you doing?!"
Xue Wenhai's expression darkened.
Xia Wuji looked up and said with a smile, "Deal."
As he spoke, he waved his hand. 112 nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers appeared. Including the one on the table, there were 113 of them.
"100,000 medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 10 million low-grade spirit stones. With the 1.2 million low-grade spirit stones, that's a total of 11.2 million.
"According to the price you gave me, the nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flower is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones per stalk. 11.2 million will be 112 stalks.
"Take the extra stalk as the spirit stones I need to buy the Tiger Wolf Pill. You still have to give me 35,000 low-grade spirit stones. Is that right? "
Xue Wenhai's eyes widened in shock.
He was agitated and at a loss for what to do.
'F * ck! Why are there so many nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers?
Usually, I would fight to the death for one stalk. Today, there are more than 100 stalks. Is this for real? '
"Y-you … Where did you get so many nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers?"
Xue Wenhai stammered.
"I grew them at home," Xia Wuji said casually, "Do you still want them? If you still want them, I have more at home. "
'Grew them at home!'
Xue Wenhai's face twitched. 'Is your home in the Nine Abyss?'
Xia Wuji did not mind.
Now that the deal was done, it was time to ask about the Connate Origin Source.
At this moment, a domineering pressure suddenly descended. Xue Wenhai was directly pressed to the ground.
Even Xia Wuji's body swayed, and he almost fell.
Clearly, this pressure had surpassed the Jin Dan stage!
There could only be one person, and that was a Nascent Soul old monster!
Swoosh!
A figure appeared.
The figure that appeared before Xia Wuji was a beautiful young woman with an enchanting figure. She wore a light yellow dress and was in the prime of her youth.
Her jet-black hair hung down to her slender waist.
That huge pressure was coming from her body.
However, Xia Wuji could sense a hint of demon qi from this woman.
A Nascent Soul great demon!
She was completely different from those demons who took form through Dharmic powers. This was a true great demon who had taken form.
Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.
When Xue Wenhai saw this woman, he immediately prostrated himself on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Greetings, Lord Inspector."
'Inspector?
She's a great demon … '
Xia Wuji's heart skipped a beat.
He thought about the Celestial Maiden Pavilion and the Son Of God released by Lu Wenqing of the Treasure Tower of the World. For a moment, he was deep in thought.
The woman's expression was indifferent. She looked at the more than 100 nine-leaf Golden Silk Bloodsoul Flowers on the table. A faint light flashed in her eyes.
Chapter 126
The Nine-Leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flower was a spirit herb that could increase one's soul. It was very effective for Jin Dan cultivators and was very useful even for a Nascent Soul demon like her.
It was indeed rare to see it. She did not expect this kid to take out more than 100 of them at once.
Obviously, they were cultivated in large quantities.
Therefore, it made sense for this kid to say that they were from his family.
However, even if they were cultivated at home, who would take out more than 100 of them and sell them casually?
Obviously, this kid must have stolen them.
Bai Jing turned to look at Xia Wuji. She scanned him with her demon consciousness …
Qi and blood were surging. Bone age: 18.
Her eyes lit up.
After being scanned by Bai Jing's demon consciousness, Xia Wuji suddenly felt as if he was stripped naked in front of this woman. It was as if his entire body was being seen through.
He could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
Bai Jing looked him up and down and smiled with interest. "Little guy, you're clearly an 18-year-old youth. Why are you wearing a mask and pretending to be a middle-aged man? Did you do something shameful?"
As she spoke, she raised her wrist and stretched out her white hand toward Xia Wuji's face. It seemed that she was just gently trying to grab the Thousand Illusion Faces.
However, Xia Wuji felt the fierce and fierce intent in that hand.
Swoosh —
Xia Wuji quickly retreated. At the same time, he was thinking quickly in his heart. She could tell that I was wearing a mask?
He had been with that old guy Xue Wenhai for so long, but he could not see anything.
How did this woman see through it?
Didn't that kid Xue Wuhen say that even a Spirit Severing cultivator could not see through the Thousand Illusion Faces? How did this old woman see through it …
As his thoughts raced, his expression changed.
No!
This woman did not see through his true appearance. She had used her powerful spiritual consciousness to detect his bone age and deduced it.
These thoughts flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning.
When Bai Jing stretched out her hand and he retreated, a cold iron saber appeared in his hand.
The energy in his body circulated rapidly. He did not hesitate to slash at this woman's head.
No matter what great demon you are, I'll slash you first.
Humans and demons were different. He did not believe that this old demoness would be polite to him if she was injured.
A flash of saber light illuminated the entire space. The saber light was like a waterfall as it tore through the air. Its speed was like a falling meteor.
Meteor Slash!
Bai Jing suddenly felt that the entire space was filled with a sharp edge, as if this blade was going to split her Divine Soul in half. She couldn't help but be shocked.
This kid had actually comprehended saber intent.
Immediately, he became furious.
How dare you!
A mere Xiantian Lord actually dared to attack a Nascent Soul Great Demon like her!
The jade-like hand that was reaching for Xia Wuji was suddenly covered in scales and turned into a sharp claw. She swung it fiercely at the saber light.
Bang!
The saber light shattered, and the Cold Iron Saber in Xia Wuji's hand also shattered.
But Bai Jing's eyes were cold.
This was because three of the scales on her claws had been shattered, revealing a shallow wound on the back of her hand.
In other words, this slash had actually injured her body.
At the same time, traces of saber intent were running amok in her body. She forcefully suppressed it with her immense demonic power and quickly killed it.
A mere Xiantian Lord had actually injured a Nascent Soul Great Demon like her. It was simply unimaginable.
Although they were both in the Nascent Soul Realm, Great Demons were much stronger than humans.
This was because Great Demons had stronger bodies and greater strength than humans.
It could be said that when Great Demons and humans fought together, they were invincible.
Even Ancient Warriors of the same level would find it difficult to compete with Great Demons.
A mere Xiantian Lord human like Xia Wuji was not even enough for her to pinch him.
But she didn't expect this human ant to actually injure her.
She could feel the immense power of that slash.
If it weren't for the hard scales on her hand, her hand would have been gone.
"Come here, I'm going to strip you naked and suck you dry!"
Bai Jing's eyes were filled with anger, and her sharp claws reached out fiercely.
Xia Wuji grinned and said, "You old woman? You're nothing! "
As he spoke, his figure disappeared.
Bai Jing's hand grabbed nothing but air.
Gone?
Her Demon Consciousness swept through every corner of the Treasure Tower of the World like a gust of wind. It swept outward and even reached the palace.
Endless pressure covered the sky and spread throughout the Capital City.
Countless people in the Capital City panicked. Countless people were foaming at the mouth and fainting.
However, after sweeping through almost the entire Capital City, what made Bai Jing furious was that … there was nothing!
He had completely disappeared!
Teleportation?
Impossible!
How could a mere Xiantian Lord human martial artist know how to teleport?
Unless he had a teleportation Dharma treasure.
However, such a Dharma treasure was extremely precious. Only the sacred grounds of the human race would have it.
However, how could such a precious Dharma treasure be on a human Xiantian martial artist? Could it be that this kid was related to the sacred grounds?
Bai Jing's thoughts were running wild.
'Perhaps it's not a teleportation Dharma treasure, but … a concealment Dharma treasure. That's more likely.
Actually, this kid might be nearby. He's just hiding temporarily … '
At the thought of this, Bai Jing's eyes lit up. Her gaze was cold.
"Let's see how long you can hide. I'll wait here!"
Bai Jing said fiercely.
Compared to more than 100 Nine-leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flowers, this concealment Dharma treasure was more useful to her.
As for whether this fellow was related to the sacred grounds, Bai Jing thought about it and felt that the possibility was low.
If he was really from the sacred grounds, he would not come to such a remote place. There were no treasures here.
Secondly, there must be someone protecting him.
However, after she made her move, no one appeared. There was not even a warning.
Therefore, Bai Jing was more inclined to believe that the treasures on this brat's body were unintentionally obtained through dumb luck.
This included the Dharma treasure that could change one's appearance. Even she could not see through it.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the other party was really from the sacred grounds, she was not afraid.
After all, she had the Son Of God behind her!
"Xue Wenhai, arrange a place for me to stay. I'll stay with you for the time being."
Bai Jing said with an indifferent expression.
"It's my honor to be able to stay in the Treasure Tower of the World, Lord Inspector. How about you stay in the First Heaven Residence?"
Xue Wenhai got up and quickly bowed.
"Mhm."
Bai Jing grunted in response.
Xue Wenhai said, "Please wait for a moment, Lord. I'll tidy up the residence for you. I'll decorate it with various fragrant flowers and your favorite orchid."
Just as he was about to leave, he glanced at the over 100 Nine-leaf Golden Silk Blood Soul Flowers on the table and looked at Bai Jing again.
Bai Jing snorted coldly. "Give me ten of them and take the rest."
Xue Wenhai was delighted. Lady Bai did not want all of them.
He hastily said, "Understood."
Then, he kept ten of them and took the rest.
…
At this moment, Xia Wuji stood in the starry sky. There were stars all around him. In front of him was a light door with spinning starlight.
Chapter 127
In the starry sky.
Xia Wuji looked at himself.
His entire body was smooth and smooth, and his appearance was different from his main body. He looked ordinary, but his entire body was made of metal. Even his eyebrows and hair were made of soft metal.
A full metal body.
What surprised him was that although his body was made of metal, it breathed and had internal organs, just like carbon-based life forms.
It was just that these internal organs were somewhat different in form and structure from his main body's internal organs. However, their purpose was the same, which was to serve the whole life form.
In other words, he was a living metal.
In other words, this clone was a metal life form.
Xia Wuji sighed. Sure enough, there were all kinds of strange things in this world.
However, since this was a full metal body, how did this metal life form reproduce?
He subconsciously looked down at his lower body, and his expression immediately changed.
There was no penis!
Soon, a message was transmitted to his mind …
The Astral Plane was a special world dominated by metal life forms. Just like carbon-based life forms, the forms of life forms were different.
Since they were life forms, they naturally needed to reproduce.
However, the reproduction method of the Astral Plane was not the same as that of human life forms.
There were also males and females here, but they did not need to reproduce through intercourse. Instead, they fused the metal genes in the core of their bodies to give birth to the next generation.
Of course, during this period, they also needed to be honest with each other and create a strong sense of pleasure through the fusion of their souls. Only then could the next generation inherit the excellent genes of both sides more perfectly.
So that was it.
Xia Wuji finally understood.
He originally thought that this clone was a man-made mechanical body, but now he realized that it was a living body.
What surprised Xia Wuji was that with the perfect fusion of the second clone, when he returned to the original human world, he could perfectly transform into a human appearance. He could even change his body shape and appearance so that people would think that he was a real human.
However, his essence was still metal. It was just that his external appearance had changed.
During battle, he could also transform into a combat state. For example, his arm could transform into a weapon. When he cultivated to a high level, he could even transform his entire body into a weapon.
However, in most cases, he could only transform into a weapon.
For example, Xia Wuji cultivated the saber, so the imprint of the saber would be deeply embedded in his genes. From then on, his arm could transform into a saber, or even both arms.
When it was cultivated to a high level, it could even transform into a saber.
However, what made Xia Wuji most happy was that unlike the Ghost King who entered the Ghost Realm as a stowaway, he was no longer a stowaway.
The original identity of this clone was a second-grade Combat Master from the Annihilation Legion. However, due to carelessness, it got involved in a sudden battle between two powerful beings. In the end, it was sucked into the space-time turbulence and entered the human world.
In other words, he could stay in the Star Boundary for as long as he wanted.
The only drawback was that it was different from the fixed time of the World of Spirits and Souls. Once they left, if they wanted to enter again, they had to re-capture the space-time coordinates of the Astral World to establish a channel.
There would be a randomness to this.
In other words, it might only take one or two days to enter the Astral Boundary, but it might take a month or even a year.
The time was completely unpredictable.
The space he was in now was the cultivation space that every person in the Star Boundary had when they were born.
The length of time one could stay here depended on one's cultivation. The higher one's cultivation, the longer one could stay, and vice versa.
The cultivation realms in the Astral Realm mainly focused on cultivating astral energy. The cultivation realms were divided into: Warrior, Combat Master, Great Combat Master, Combat Master, Combat King, Combat Emperor, Combat Emperor, Combat Venerable, and Combat God.
Every realm was divided into nine levels. Level one was the lowest, and level nine was the highest.
And now, Xia Wuji's doppelganger had been re-molded, which was equivalent to being reborn. Now, it was only a level one warrior.
It belonged to the lowest level.
According to his cultivation, he could stay here for a day within a month.
Of course, this cultivation space was not absolutely safe. Once it encountered a huge spatial vibration, it would be shaken out.
But he had no resources now, so he could not cultivate.
Like the Ghost King's doppelganger, this doppelganger also had a black cauldron, but the black cauldron was empty.
Here, looking at the passage of the light door in front of him, Xia Wuji stepped in.
His vision blurred, and he appeared in a bright metal cabin.
He was completely unfamiliar with this place.
His original memory, except for the memory of being swept into the space-time turbulence during the battle, had completely disappeared.
But when he saw a set of armor in the cabin, he immediately understood what it was.
A level one Star Soul Armor set.
He walked over and reached out to touch it.
The Star Soul Armor melted in the water, and quickly climbed and spread along his arm. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a set of armor on his body.
The helmet, armor, and boots were all dark grey.
It was very ordinary, but Xia Wuji was very satisfied.
Although this body didn't have a penis, he couldn't accept walking out with his butt naked.
Humans always had some sense of shame.
Now, with this set of armor, it satisfied his needs.
There was a button in the cabin. He walked over and pressed the button.
The metal door opened.
Xia Wuji walked out.
This was an underground space. He was in a wide and bright corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were metal doors with numbers.
Xia Wuji turned back to look at his "home". He saw the number "3376" on the door, and "3377" and "3375" on the door on both sides.
And on both sides, they were respectively number "3 378,3379,3380,3381" … and "3 374,3373,3372,3371" …
And on the other side, there were also metal doors with numbers.
These metal doors were all silver. Other than the number, they were exactly the same.
It looked like an underground concentration camp.
"Eh? There are people in this house? "
A voice sounded.
Xia Wuji turned around and saw a girl in a purple suit standing not far away.
Her hair was purple, her clothes were purple, and her boots were also purple. But her exposed waist and long legs were white.
The girl walked over and looked at Xia Wuji with her big eyes. She asked: "No one has been in room 376 for at least ten years. Why are you here?"
Room 376?
Xia Wuji was stunned.
The door plate clearly said "3376". How did it become "376"?
And the "3" was eaten by you?
Is there something wrong with this girl's eyes?
But since she asked, Xia Wuji naturally had to answer.
And with his spiritual power, he found that this girl was actually a fifth-rank warrior, much stronger than him.
Right now, he did not have any astral power in his body.
He was only a first-rank warrior now because this body used to be a second-rank combat master.
"I've always been inside, but I fainted because of cultivation. I only woke up recently."
Xia Wuji casually made up a story.
Chapter 128
"You passed out in the cultivation space?"
The girl was taken aback. "You were in a coma for ten years?"
"I don't know." Xia Wuji shook his head and pretended to be deep in thought. "Was it really that long?"
The clone had an ordinary appearance and gave off a simple and honest feeling.
The girl didn't suspect anything. She nodded and said, "Yes. Although your situation is rare, it's not unprecedented. Previously, Bai Xing had fainted in her own cultivation space. However, his time was shorter than yours. He was only in a coma for seven months.
"However, you've been in a coma for ten years. Your situation is a bit special. You should let the captain take a look at you and see what's going on."
Hmm? It was just a random lie. He didn't expect it to be true.
The corners of Xia Wuji's mouth lifted imperceptibly.
As for the captain the girl mentioned, he didn't know. The less he said, the less mistakes he made, the less he would make. He didn't ask.
"I'm Lucian. What's your name?"
The girl asked.
Lucian?
Lu Dong?
What a random name.
Xia Wuji shook his head.
"Xia Wuji."
He didn't hide his name. In any case, he didn't know what this clone was called before, so he might as well call him by his name.
Lucian nodded. "Since you're awake, come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"To the reserve army," Lucian said. "Today is the day that the third squad is cultivating."
"Reserve army?" Xia Wuji was slightly taken aback.
Although he didn't have many memories, he remembered that he was a member of the Annihilation Legion.
According to his understanding, this should be the Annihilation Legion, not some reserve army.
But what the hell was with this cultivation space?
Did they have to pick a day to cultivate?
Lucian didn't doubt Xia Wuji's doubts. He explained, "The frontlines have been tight recently, so reserve army members like us need to cultivate harder. Otherwise, once we're called in, we won't be able to keep up and will become cannon fodder.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the side of the passageway.
Reserve army, cultivation, frontlines were tight, cannon fodder …
From this information, Xia Wuji could tell that the people here didn't live a peaceful life.
It turned out that no matter where one was, war was inevitable.
Xia Wuji sighed in his heart as he followed closely behind.
As he walked to the next passage, Xia Wuji finally understood why Lucian had said that his house was 376.
Because the "3" at the front was the number of floors, the floor below started with "4".
He and Lucian walked down the stairs to the 12th floor.
In a downward spiral well on the 12th floor, he and Lucian, one in front and one behind, were holding onto a spiral metal pole as they spun downwards.
Not long after, they reached the bottom.
Xia Wuji estimated that they should be around the 100th floor.
This was a huge underground space.
Numerous figures stood neatly within. They were all youths, and there were about three hundred of them.
On the other hand, Xia Wuji looked a little older. He seemed to be in his twenties, a little older than these teenagers.
Lucian walked in front of a middle-aged man and whispered a few words.
The middle-aged man looked up at Xia Wuji.
"Since you've woken up, let's return to our positions."
Xia Wuji guessed that he should be an instructor.
After probing with his spiritual power, he found that this person was an eighth level combat master.
He nodded and walked to the last row of the line, standing at the furthest side.
Scanning with his spiritual power, the lowest of these youths in the line was a third level warrior, and the highest was a sixth level warrior.
These youths all looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and some were sixteen or seventeen years old, but they were all warriors.
Was it so difficult to improve a warrior?
Xia Wuji thought to himself.
He seemed to have forgotten that he was the only first level warrior here.
"Today's training is a mission to refine four star stones."
The middle-aged man said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of youths all cried out in shock, and then their faces turned bitter.
Refining star stones … should be absorbing the star power inside.
Xia Wuji thought.
But, why were these guys looking bitter?
The reserve team provided star stones for training. The conditions were so good, but these guys still looked bitter. What the hell was this?
Luxi, who was standing at the front, also frowned and said, "Instructor Yan, five days ago we refined two, why did it become four today?
"Isn't this mission a bit too much?
"We also want to improve our strength faster, but the star power inside the star stones is too strong. If we can't endure it, we will be unconscious for ten days to half a month, and it will even affect our future training."
Huang Yan glanced at Luxi.
He and Luxi's father were comrades.
If it wasn't for Luxi's father, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back.
So, he usually took care of Luxi, and sometimes he would secretly give her some star beast cores.
But no matter how much he took care of her, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest when it came to training.
If he really relaxed, it would mean that he would be harming Luxi.
He said to her with a serious face, "I also don't want to do this, but the higher-ups have already given the order, we only have three months."
"After three months, no matter if you are ninth level warriors or not, you must rush to the front line."
Then he looked at the group of youths and said loudly, "Don't all look bitter."
"Refining three star stones is a bit too much, but it's better than going to the front line to die."
"Everyone knows that star beast cores are easy to refine, and the star power is mild. But those star beast cores aren't enough for the front line, so how can you use them?
"If you want star beast cores, you can only hunt for them when you are strong enough.
"Now, refine the star stones. No matter how hard it is, you have to grit your teeth. Compared to going to the front line to be cannon fodder, this little bit of hardship is nothing! "
"Okay, now line up here one by one to get it. Don't even think about getting it through."
Xia Wuji finally understood what he meant.
It wasn't that these youths didn't want to cultivate, but that the star stones contained strong star power, and it was easy to hurt the soul when refining.
However, the sudden doubling of the amount of cultivation had caused these youths to be somewhat resistant to it.
But no matter how much they resisted, they still had to cultivate.
Just as the instructor said, if they didn't cultivate, they would be cannon fodder on the front line. If they cultivated, at least there was hope.
The star stones weren't big, and they were silver with traces of blood. They were only the size of a quail egg, and they were placed in a metal bucket.
The group of youths went up one by one to get it.
They had already used up the cultivation space for this month, so they could only cultivate outside.
Fortunately, there was a special cultivation area here, and it was already divided.
After everyone got the star stones, they found their own area, sat down, and started to swallow the star stones and cultivate.
However, they were in pain from the beginning.
Each of them trembled, and tried their best to resist the star power in the star stones.
Even Luxi was no exception. Her delicate body trembled, and her face was full of pain.
