life and death deed

Chapter 1567 The third encounter [-]
There is a way to break through the eighth stage of the physical body, but I still need his help.

Ten top-quality ancient artifacts!

In the body refining secret method given to me by the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, ten high-grade ancient artifacts are needed to break through from the seventh stage of the body to the eighth stage!
Ten high-grade ancient artifacts may not seem like too many things, but the key point is that the ten pieces here are exactly the same!This thing only exists in Tianyang City, the imperial capital of the ancient Ming Dynasty!

This object is called the Black Sea Needle. Each piece has ten needles, and ten pieces have a total of one hundred needles. To cast this needle, you must use the unicorn black shark, the peak sacred beast at the Tianzhiyang estuary near Tianyang City. It is extremely rare. !And after use, the hundred needles become invalid.

To put it simply, ten high-grade ancient artifacts and a hundred needles can be exchanged for an eighth-level body.

With my status in the ancient Ming Kingdom, I naturally can't get this thing. It's obviously not good to go to the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, so I can only ask for help from the prominent Xu Tai'an.

In this world, strength and status are directly proportional. With the strength of Xu Tai'an's nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Saint Qi machines, and the title of deputy city lord of Yuling City, his status in the Minggu Kingdom is obviously unquestionable.

He will definitely be able to get these hundred Black Sea Needles.

At Xu Tai'an's residence, he was packing his things, and it seemed that he was going back to Yuling City.

I stopped him directly and said, "City Lord Xu, I need your help with something."

"Little brother, if you have something to say, you can tell me."

Xu Tai'an said with a smile.

"I need a hundred Black Sea Needles."

I'll get straight to the point.

Xu Tai'an was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood my intention, and his face suddenly became serious, saying: "Are you trying to break through to the eighth level?"

"Correct!"

I paused, smiled slightly, and continued: "The secret method of body refining was given to me by the empress."

Hearing this, Xu Tai'an's brows moved. The wariness in his eyes disappeared in an instant after my words, and he immediately said: "I understand, I can get this thing, but it will take a few days."

"No problem, I'll wait for you."

I smiled.

The purpose of carrying the Empress of the Ming Dynasty out was to tell Xu Tai'an that this body-refining secret was my legal acquisition, and to give him the illusion that it was the Empress of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to ask him for a hundred silver needles.

Then, I suddenly realized something and asked curiously: "Is City Lord Xu leaving?"

"Exactly, Yuling City still needs me to go back and preside over it."

Xu Taian smiled.

As one of the three most important cities in the ancient Ming Dynasty, Yuling City can now be said to be completely leaderless. Xu Linglong, Xu Yunshu, and Xu Tai'an are not here, so they really need to go back immediately.

But I wondered about another thing: "Did the empress say nothing else about the eldest princess?"

"No, but the empress should have her own plans. Besides, hasn't the princess already gone to find her?" Xu Tai'an replied.

There was a strange flash of color in my eyes.

Does the Empress of the Ming Dynasty really not care about Xu Linglong, or does she pretend not to care?

Or is it just like what I guessed at the beginning, that the main culprit behind Xu Linglong’s death is the Empress of the Ming Dynasty?
Of course, that doesn't matter to me right now.

The purpose of me looking for Xu Linglong is to cooperate. Now, I have discussed it with the Empress of Ming Dynasty. Whether she lives or dies will not affect me.

Then, Xu Tai'an asked me: "Little brother, will you go back with me?"

I shook my head. Right now, I don't need to go to Yuling City anymore. "Okay, in a few days, I will send the Black Sea Needle to you."

Xu Tai'an smiled and said nothing more.

With his words, I felt relieved and returned to my residence, ready to wait patiently for Xu Tai'an to give me the needle.

At present, my plan is very simple. I will first improve my strength while waiting for news from Zhou Taimin and Chen Xu.

When my strength reaches the limit, when the ancient Luo Kingdom is restored, and the ancient Khan Kingdom is completely controlled by Chen Xu, then the time will be ripe!
So no accident, I should stay in the imperial capital of Minggu Kingdom and Tianyang City for a while.

But unfortunately, things often backfire...

Two days later.

bang bang bang-

There were heavy knocks on the door outside my residence.

The first time I heard this voice, I felt slightly happy. I thought it was Xu Tai'an who had sent me the needle.

But soon I found something was wrong...

Such a brutal knock on the door, like a bandit trying to break my door open, could not have come from Xu Tai'an.

In addition, I didn't feel Xu Tai'an's terrifying Xian Sheng Qi Machinery.

I frowned and walked out and opened the door, but there was no one behind the door.

Hell?
My face darkened, it was impossible to see a ghost, it could only be someone causing trouble.

"Okay, okay, that's it, that's good, that's good..."

An opera-like singing came from the side, and the voice was very casual.

I looked intently, and when I saw that person's appearance, my expression changed!
Crazy old man!

The weird and crazy old man I saw in the prison of Liudi City and the slums of Yuling City!

He actually appeared next to me again!Appeared in Tianyang City, the imperial capital of Minggu Kingdom!
An extremely strange emotion filled my heart. Could it be that he was stalking me?Wherever I go, he follows me?
I thought about what he told me to "leave here if you don't want to die" and the broken Bagua stone platform he gave me... Before I looked for him, he found me again...

"You came to see me?"

I didn't walk up to him, but stayed about 20 meters away and spoke to him.

I have finally figured out the rules of this crazy old man. As long as he appears in front of me, he will definitely say something to me, so I am not in a hurry. If he wants to leave, even if I am in the seventh stage of the body, he will not be able to leave. Can't catch up with him.

I saw the crazy old man standing up slowly, but he was still humming a strange tune in his mouth, but his voice was getting smaller and smaller, making it completely inaudible.

The crazy old man didn't reply to me immediately, nor did he look at me. Instead, he closed his eyes and walked in the opposite direction to me.

I narrowed my eyes and felt strange. I didn't understand what the old man wanted to do.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I still followed the crazy old man and walked with him.

His pace was very slow, pausing every step, and I followed effortlessly.

And just a while later, the crazy old man stopped in front of a place...

The ocean of heaven!
