Soaring through the back door, that is also a soaring!

Chapter 19 The next plan
Jiang Youning thought in her heart that this thank you gift was too casual, without any sincerity, but on the surface she rejected Qiao Ran's proposal.

"No, I'll just stay at the inn."

This man had been too enthusiastic from the beginning, which made Jiang Youning wonder if this man had some purpose in approaching her.

And she just got a huge sum of 10,000+ Xuan coins, the inn is still affordable, there is no need to live in other people's homes under the fence.

Seeing her refusal, Qiao Ran didn't force it, for fear of causing the other party's disgust.

After the night attack by the cold night mercenary group, after a short rest, Qiao Ran decided to go on the road overnight and arrive at Heiwu City as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Fortunately, this time Jiang Youning no longer had to share a carriage with the goods, but was invited to ride in the same carriage as Qiao Ran.

Being able to make herself comfortable along the way, Jiang Youning naturally had no reason to refuse and naturally accepted it happily.

Because of Jiang Youning, Xia Xuxu and the others didn't have to use their two legs to walk the rest of the way, but were allowed to be called reloading carriages. Although it was crowded, it was better than before. A lot.

With the caravan traveling day and night, they arrived at Heiwu City on the evening of the next day, a full day and a half earlier than originally expected.

Heiwu City is backed by Heiwu Mountain, and the tall pines of the city wall come into view. In front of the city gate is a moat formed by groundwater drawn from Heiwu Mountain.

If outsiders wanted to enter Heiwu City, they would have to charge a high entry fee, but because Jiang Youning and the others were with the Qiao family's caravan, this fee was saved.

Although the money is very little, as the saying goes, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat.

Jiang Youning looked at the long queue outside. These people were residents living in nearby villages and towns. They came to Heiwu City to sell some scattered mountain products.

"Does every city in Qingyan have to charge entry fees today?"

"Of course, this is not only the case in Qingyan Kingdom, but also in other cities. It is a tacit rule that everyone understands."

Qiao Ran explained that Jiang Youning didn't even know about this kind of thing, and she was indeed not from Yunzhou.

But what Jiang Youning thought was that with so many people coming in and out every day, each of these cities must be very rich.

However, she just sighed that other people's affairs have nothing to do with her, and the world has always been like this. If ordinary people want to survive, they can only abide by the rules set by the strong.

Although it is called Heiwu City, the interior of the city is mostly dominated by white buildings.

Once entering the city, there is a wide and flat pipeline. On both sides of the road are various small vendors, most of which sell some mountain products, or vegetables and fruits grown by themselves.

Every stall owner shouted hard and promoted his products to every passing customer.

Jiang Youning's eyes passed over these vendors and she didn't find her favorite food, so she also looked away.

After bidding farewell to Qiao's caravan and Qiao Ran, Jiang Youning decided to find an inn first.

Along the way, Jiang Youning thought carefully about the next thing.

From Qiao Ran's mouth, Jiang Youning learned that this period of time happened to be the day when the major colleges enroll students. Enrollment at the end of June and enrollment at the beginning of July.

Since there are no clues at all now, and the place is unfamiliar, it is better to find a college to stay first and get familiar with the environment.

Now that she had made up her mind to find a college to stay in, Jiang Youning asked Qiao Ran for some information about the college.

According to her idea, she can't treat herself badly by treating anyone badly. From the teachers, training resources, and rankings in previous years, it is already the college atmosphere. Jiang Youning does not ask for the best, but she must be the most suitable for herself and stay in the most comfortable college.

Although Qiao Ran was a little surprised by Jiang Youning's idea of ​​entering the academy, he still told her the specific information about each academy.

There are hundreds of colleges in Yunzhou, large and small, but not many of them can be named. Among them, Qinglian, Qiushui, Yunsong, and Lai are known as the four major colleges in Yunzhou.

Each of these four colleges has its own unique teaching philosophy, but the teaching of Qinglian College and Qiushui College is very strict, and the competition among internal disciples is even fiercer. Such an environment is actually not suitable for Jiang Youning.

On the other hand, Yunsong College and Lai College are just the opposite. The discipline of their disciples is not very strict. As long as they abide by the rules of the college, there will basically be no restrictions. Of course, the prerequisite for this kind of freedom is to pass the college test. .

In the end, Jiang Youning chose Yunsong College among the two colleges simply because Yunsong College's test is once a month, while Lai College's test is once every seven days.

Jiang Youning never thought that she would not be able to pass the exam, because all colleges have preferential treatment policies for disciples such as talisman masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners when recruiting students, commonly known as bonus points.

The inn where she lives now, Ruyi Inn, is the best inn in Heiwu City. Food and accommodation are included, and you can even order your own food. Of course, with such attentive service, the price is also very good.

The one-day accommodation fee here is two hundred Xuan coins, and all three meals a day are included in it, but if you want to order food, you need to pay extra.

“Sure enough, you get what you pay for.”

Jiang Youling ate the dishes in front of her, talking while eating.

If the guess is correct, the chef of this inn should not be an ordinary chef, but a master chef who has gained expertise in cooking.

Integrate your own aura with the dishes you make, and improve your cultivation in this way.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Youning returned to her room, thinking that the storage bag she got from Xia Xuxu earlier seemed to have not been opened.

I didn't have time before, but now that I have time, why not open it and see what's inside.

Why, for the sake of safety, before opening this storage bag of unknown origin, she placed a formation around it to avoid any accidents at that time,
As it turned out, she was right to be cautious.

The storage bag opened and all the contents fell to the ground.

Some of the mysterious medicines have already lost their medicinal properties, and they completely dried up the moment they came out, and the potions also lost their efficacy seriously, turning into useless pills.

Picking and choosing, the contents of this storage bag are either already useless or about to be discarded, and only a small part is not affected.

Jiang Youning held one of them in her hand, "This is a heart-shaped stone."

As soon as the words fell, the stone in her hand made a sound of shattering, and a red thread appeared in her palm amidst a pile of rubble.

"What is this?"

Before Jiang Youning could take a closer look, the red thread seemed to come alive, actively wrapping around her wrist, and then disappeared.
