What is a demon?

Chapter 72 Youxian City, Treasure Pavilion

Taoist Baixiang has not forgotten that this fellow Taoist Gu is the devil that the Yu family has been looking for.

Even the core members of the Yu family died in his hands, which shows how bold this man is.

Moreover, he couldn't figure out the depth of the opponent. It was said that the core disciple of the Yu family who was killed had reached the fifth level of Qi refining more than a year ago.

Taoist Bai Xiang pondered for a moment. He suspected that Gu Changqing had caused some trouble in the past two days, so he left in such a hurry.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it, since Taoist friend Gu is in a hurry to go to Lianhua Ridge, I will set off with Taoist friend Gu and write a letter to fellow Taoist Tong so that fellow Taoist Tong can catch up later."

The ferocity on Gu Changqing's face faded away. If it weren't for the ferocious aura that had always been on his body, he wouldn't have looked as ferocious as before.

Gu Changqing smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist Baixiang has arranged everything well! This is the best!"

"How long does it take to go to the Nine Mountains and Twelve Ridges at full speed?"

"Here we go all the way west, which is the best horse. It will take five days to reach Youxian City under starry night. Once we get here, we are not far from Lianhua Ridge!"

"Is there any way to go faster?" Gu Changqing stared at him and asked with a smile.

Taoist Baixiang gritted his teeth: "Forget it, I still have a few wind charms here, which will only take half the time. But when we get to Youxian City, you and I need to wait for fellow Taoist Tong there."

"Hahahaha, fellow Taoist Baixiang, you don't have to feel sad. You rely on your parents at home and your friends outside. This is especially true for us casual cultivators. Our purpose in Lianhualing is to unite and help each other among the casual cultivators. It's just a few talisman seals. I'll pay you back double in the future. !" Gu Changqing burst out laughing when he saw his painful appearance.

Taoist Bai Xiang almost laughed out of anger after hearing this.

It sounds like you are from Lianhualing, but I am an outsider.

But after Gu Changqing said this, he felt better.

Even if you practice in Lianhua Ridge, there are not many resources.

He has been running around all over the country this year, and he has only obtained a hundred spiritual stones. This is already a good job that has broken the heads of countless casual cultivators.

Moreover, the talismans are tall and you need to use six of these wind talismans along the way. Each one is worth two spiritual stones.

One-tenth of his income this year has gone out like this. No wonder he feels sore.

However, this fellow Taoist Gu is quite fierce in his actions. At first glance, he looks like the kind of ruthless character who likes to fight fiercely.

If he didn't die in the hands of others after reaching the Nine Mountains and Twelve Ridges, he might ask him for something else in the future, such as assisting in boxing.

Just treat it as a favor sold to the other party.

"Don't mention this, fellow Taoist Gu. Although a few popular charms are expensive, I can still afford them! In the future, fellow Taoist Gu, just don't forget that I will guide you into the mountain." Taoist Bai Xiang said with a smile.

Within half an hour, Li Youling was taken to Juyue Gate and even packed his luggage.

After seeing Gu Changqing, he immediately became happy. "Master!"

Gu Changqing took a look and saw that her hands and feet were agile and her lower body was much more stable. She had indeed made some progress these days.

However, this kind of progress is nothing compared to his own.

"The people are here, fellow Taoist Baixiang, let's set off now!" Gu Changqing said.

If you don't know, you might think that he is the landlord here and Taoist Bai Xiang is the guest.

Taoist Baixiang nodded: "Then let's set off!"

After a while, Juyuemen led out two tall horses. These horses were one head taller than ordinary horses and had a strong body shape. They were obviously expensive.

But it was much worse than the one with scales on its legs that Taoist Xu rode before.

"If Fellow Taoist Gu is not in a hurry, we can arrange for someone to accompany him all the way." Taoist Bai Xiang shook his head slightly.

"Fellow Taoist Baixiang, don't worry about me, I have someone to serve me!" Gu Changqing laughed loudly and directly pulled Li Youling onto the horse.

Taoist Bai Xiang had a bitter look on his face.

This guy is really...

The three of them rode out of the city. After they were far away from the city gate, Taoist Baixiang took out two talismans, poured spiritual power into them, and landed on the two horses respectively.

The two horses suddenly felt much more brisk under their feet. If there was a breeze to support them, their running speed would be twice as fast, and a strong wind would blow in their faces.

Gu Changqing thought about it, if this thing was attached to his car...

But this thing is indeed a good thing, and it is very convenient when you are on the road.

In the evening, even with the Wind Talisman, the two horses were almost exhausted, so the three of them found a town to stay.

At the same time, Gu Changqing also asked Taoist Bai Xiang about the seal scripts and magical instruments.

As for Youxian City, he learned from his last conversation with Taoist Baixiang that it was the only city near the Nine Mountains and Twelve Ridges, and it was also a weak place under the jurisdiction of the Daye Imperial Court.

Although most of the people in the city are mortals, there are also many practitioners who hang out there.

The market where practitioners of the Nine Mountains and Twelve Ridges exchange resources is located in the Central City of Youxian City.

"Practice is difficult!" Taoist Bai Xiang sighed. "The Dharma and Wealth Couple land required for cultivation is indispensable!"

Taoist Bai Xiang sighed and then said: "These talismans are also divided into high and low levels. The same magic thunder talisman has very different effects. The low-quality one is only equivalent to a strike from the first three levels of Qi training monks. The one with high quality can reach the level of a ninth-level monk!"

Following Taoist Bai Xiang's narration, Gu Changqing roughly understood the concept of Fu Zhuan.

The price of low-level talisman seals is not high, but the price of high-level talisman seals has increased several times or even ten times.

For example, the most common type of Wind Talisman is two spiritual stones for one, while the one used by Taoist Bai Xiang is two spiritual stones for one.

An advanced wind charm requires more than a dozen spirit stones.

Amulet seals such as the Aoki Mysterious Light Talisman and the Golden Light Amulet, and attack talisman seals such as the Gengjin Sword Light Spell and the Demon-Draining Thunder Talisman are even more expensive.

For example, low-level, intermediate, and high-level amulet seals correspond to resisting a blow from a third-, sixth-, and ninth-level monk. A low-level amulet seal requires one spiritual stone, while a high-level amulet seal requires sixty or seventy spiritual stones. And it has a price but no market.

After all, it is a life-saving thing.

In addition, there are magic weapons, which also have different qualities and are divided into high, middle and low levels.

Depending on the effect and power, the cheaper ones cost less than a hundred spirit stones, while the expensive ones cost more than a few thousand spirit stones. These are still used by Qi Refining monks.

Gu Changqing calculated in his mind that he now has one spiritual crystal, which is equivalent to ten spiritual stones, and another nineteen spiritual stones, which adds up to 29 spiritual stones.

There is also a sword left by Yu Xuanzheng and a Tingtao sword left by Taoist Xu.

There is also a Dao Demon Hammer.

There are also a dozen bottles of elixirs and a medicinal herb.

This is all the savings left by the two of them.

I have to say that these two people are really shamefully poor. They only have so little life savings.

How long have you been in this world?His net worth is as much as those two people combined!
They deserve to be thrown into the street, they are already as old as a dog.

For the next two days, the three of them kept on the road, and Gu Changqing became increasingly irritable, after all, he was on the road every day.

Fortunately, on the evening of the third day, the three of them finally saw the tall city wall in the distance.

Both Gu Changqing and Taoist Baixiang were relieved, not to mention Li Youling. "Ahead is Youxian City! This trip is very tiring for me, Taoist Master. I have to take it easy for a few days!" Two horses were stationed on the side of the road, and Taoist Baixiang pointed in the distance.

With the afterglow of the evening, you can see the mountains behind Youxian City.

Then the three of them rode horses to the city. From a distance, they saw someone riding a flying crane falling into the city. Gu Changqing could barely tell that it was not a real crane, but a paper crane.

"Flying magic weapons are also sold in the city, but they are expensive and cost at least several thousand spirit stones. Paper cranes like that are slightly cheaper and cost more than a thousand spirit stones, and they require spirit stones to be driven. !" Taoist Bai Xiang said with a bit of envy.

Gu Changqing grinned happily.

Coming here is like entering a treasure.

This is where you should come.

Well, he smelled freedom.

As for the spirit stone, he never had to think about this kind of problem!

Gu Changqing entered Youxian City and looked around curiously like Li Youling in his arms.

Li Youling had never heard of such a city in Nanzhou.

And the place is full of strange-style buildings, like mushrooms, mixed with ordinary buildings, giving people a very messy feeling!
"There are people here from all over the place, and many of them are barbarians in the mountains!" Although his voice was a little restrained, Gu Changqing could still hear a bit of contempt in his words.

"The monks here are concentrated in the Central City, and eating, drinking and lodging there cost spiritual stones. Of course, the food you eat is not what you can find outside. It is all spiritual rice and animal meat that are full of spiritual energy. Even in the inn room, there are There is a spirit gathering array, and every room is protected by a magical array."

Speaking of this, Taoist Bai Xiang winked at Gu Changqing: "In addition, the female cultivators in Xiulou are all good at dual cultivation!"

Gu Changqing was very interested when he heard this topic.

"And the outside is where mortals live. The gold and silver of mortals are used! Of course, spiritual stones can also be used."

"What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Gu?"

"Of course I'm going to Central City!" Gu Changqing grinned and said, "This is a rare opportunity, so I just want to take this opportunity to make friends with my colleagues!"

"In this case, I want to visit two old friends first. After Gu Daoyou has settled in, just send me a flying letter telling me the location!"

"I'm going to stay in the city for a few days, and I'll contact you when I'm ready!" Gu Changqing said directly.

He is going to the Qingjiang battlefield next, and he doesn't know how he will arrange it yet.Find time to come back after arriving at the place.

"Okay!" Taoist Bai Xiang nodded and handed a flying book to Gu Changqing. As long as Gu Changqing activates it with his spiritual energy, the flying book will naturally fly into his hand.

Then the two separated, and Gu Changqing and Li Youling rode their horses to look at both sides, all the way to Central City.

This Youxian City occupies a huge area. The outside is full of mortals and the population is close to one million. The Central City occupies an area even larger than the outside. You can see the tall city wall standing there from a long distance.

The two registered at the inner city office and entered, taking two signs.

After all, many monks also bring concubines and maids with them when they enter the city, so the sign is divided into master and slave.

Ordinary people in the inner city may serve the monks and do the lowest level of work.

Or maybe it's Li Youling, holding a Servant's sign.

Different from the chaos of the outer city, the central city is full of small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and attics, and exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere.

"Sir, this place is so beautiful!" Li Youling said happily while looking around.

"It's really good!" Gu Changqing agreed, but the scenery is not important, the important thing is to make friends with similar interests!
Probably because Central City is too big, the number of monks doesn't seem to be many, there are only twos and threes along the way.

There are many wooded courtyards on both sides, and from time to time you can hear the sound of music, drinking, talking and laughing.

The two of them rode horses and walked not far before they found an inn called Jade Tower. The outer courtyard wall and the five-story pavilion facing the street were all covered with a layer of jade.

"That's it!" Gu Changqing likes this kind of high-end and classy place.

Just jump off the horse and push the door open.

"Get a room together!" Gu Changqing said directly.

"Ten spirit stones a day!" The shopkeeper, who was also a monk, looked at Gu Changqing up and down and said calmly.

After all, Gu Changqing is wearing the clothes of an ordinary mortal, his cultivation level does not seem to be very high, and the maid with him is just an ordinary warrior.

Gu Changqing took out ten spirit stones and threw them over without changing his expression.

No matter what time, face cannot be lost.

What’s more, it’s not easy to make money?

"Yuzi Room No. [-]!"

After the waiter led me to the room, I opened the door and saw a room of fifty or sixty square meters. Everything in it was made of wood carvings with a touch of aura. The floor was covered with tiger skin, but this tiger The skin is huge, and the prototype is at least more than ten meters long.

"Objectively, one day of practice here is as good as three days elsewhere!"

"In addition, please keep this talisman. You rely on this talisman to enter and exit. If there is no talisman, even the monks at the ninth level of Qi training cannot break in! You can rest assured to practice in seclusion here!"

Xiaoer introduced.

Gu Changqing threw a spiritual stone directly to him: "Where are the magic seals for sale and purchase?"

The waiter was also a monk, but he was only at the first level of Qi training. Seeing Gu Changqing's generosity, he thought that this guest looked a bit ordinary, but people should not be judged by appearance.

He didn't expect that Gu Changqing had more than 20 spirit stones in his body, but he was used to being extravagant.

After sending the waiter away, Gu Changqing felt the spiritual energy in the room, which was indeed strong.

But it was of no use to him.

"Sir, it's so expensive here!" Li Youling had been silent just now and didn't speak until now.

Although she was not a monk, she heard Taoist Baixiang talking along the way and guessed that it was not so easy for monks.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these monks are like gods.

In fact, it is equally difficult for ordinary monks.

But the difficulty is different.

"Is expensiveness important? Status is important!" Gu Changqing sneered.

"Let's go and have a look at Zhenbaofang!"

There are several places in the city that buy and sell magical artifacts, talismans, and seals, but Treasure Shop is the closest.

The two of them walked out for a while and saw an antique high-rise pavilion with the words Zhenbaofang on the sign.

After entering, you will see tables and shelves everywhere inside. On the tables are placed various magical instruments with spiritual light, which are treasures at first glance.

Obviously these things are just for people to see and improve their quality.

For most monks, the rows of shelves next to them are their goal.

　These two chapters are more than 7000 words long. I will write another chapter.
