Half-life immortal

Chapter 32 Yongchang City, the Capital of Daluo

She didn't feel that Cui Rui was waiting for her, just like she felt that Feng Yutian would never give gifts.But obviously she was going to be surprised again this time, because Cui Rui was actually waiting for her.

Cui Rui raised her head arrogantly, as if she had never looked at her in the eye, casually threw her something like a glove, and said, "Here for you, don't lose face when you go out."

Xue Qinglan hurriedly caught it, holding it in her hand and looked at the iron bump strangely. The gauntlet looked heavy, but it was unexpectedly light when held. I don't know what material it was made of.However, Cui Rui didn't explain the meaning of this thing at all, and walked away very chicly, leaving Xue Qinglan staring blankly at the unknown thing in her hand.

The third senior sister who has always treated her extremely badly also gave her a gift?It seems that she is worried about her safety, afraid that she will be bullied after she goes down the mountain?This...is this really Third Senior Sister?It's not someone else's counterfeit, right?

While she couldn't believe it, such an absurd idea came up in her heart, and then she denied this silly guess by herself, and others couldn't pretend to be as arrogant as Cui Rui.It's just that the third senior sister was waiting for her here early in the morning, and specially came to give her something, no matter how you think about it, it feels unreal.

Only then did she suddenly realize that she remembered to thank her, and shouted towards Cui Ruiyuan's back: "Third Senior Sister, thank you—"

Cui Rui probably heard it. She walked faster and faster, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

She smiled happily. She always heard Yi Ting say that Cui Rui has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Now it looks really good. Although she usually speaks with sarcasm and ridicule, she still cares about her little junior sister in her heart!Or is it because her attitude of serious cultivation in the past six months has won Cui Rui's approval and favor?
Either way, she has reason to be happy.This was the first time that Cui Rui showed affection to her, and it was also the first time that she felt that she still had a senior sister.To say that Yi Ting can be considered her senior sister, but Yi Ting is too young, she unconsciously regards Yi Ting as a friend of the same age, not a senior sister.

Xiqiu said with a smile: "Little sister, it seems that your senior sister treats you well, let's see what this is."

"Hmm!" She looked at the gauntlet. It was a left-hand gauntlet. It fit right on her wrist. It protected the palm of her left hand to the elbow. The wrist was made of fine scales, which did not affect the movement at all. It's completely invisible when covered by clothes.

This gauntlet seems to be made of some kind of metal. It is hard on the outside, and the inner layer is made of cotton to avoid scratching the skin. The overall weight is not heavy. It is very suitable for women, and it looks very delicate. It's very new, probably just two days ago.

If it is an ordinary gauntlet, there is no need for Cui Rui to send it specially. This gauntlet is actually a magic weapon, which needs to be refined and inspired by aura.The refining process is very simple, and with the experience of the previous two times, Xue Qinglan only took a few breaths to refine it, and then activated with spiritual energy, and saw the silver brilliance on the gauntlet, Small white spiritual arrows appeared on the front of the gauntlet. Counting them down, there were ten white arrows in total, each about an inch long, like small hidden dart weapons.

She raised her arm and fired the small arrows on her gauntlet to a place where no one was around, and then saw a flash of light, ten small arrows shot out one after another, the speed was quite fast, and because they were spiritual arrows, There is almost no cracking sound.

She froze for a moment, and found that the penetrating power of the aura arrow was quite strong, almost piercing through rocks and trees when encountering stones, and the range was not very large, about 30 meters. But it is a sharp weapon if it is used for sneak attack!If it was such a blow in close combat, it would definitely be shot into a sieve.

With Xue Qinglan's current cultivation base, the number of activations is limited, about three rounds.After three rounds, she didn't have much aura left.But just as she thought, she shouldn't need to fight down the mountain, it's not bad to hide in the corner and shoot back arrows!
She lightly stroked the silver gauntlet, and she liked it very much. The protective properties of the gauntlet itself were not bad. Thinking about it, even if she couldn't use the spirit arrow, the protective effect of the gauntlet itself would be good!If you wear this gauntlet and use the ice shield, then the impact will be much smaller, which is really good!
Xiqiuzhi and Feng Yutian also saw the power of this aura arrow, but apart from being injured by surprise, it was not a big threat to them.

Xiqiuzhi said with a smile: "This thing is not bad. It's like a hidden weapon like the Hidden Arrow, and it doesn't need much aura. It's suitable for your cultivation level, little junior sister. Your third senior sister can combine this hidden weapon with a magic weapon." , really worthy of being a refiner."

"A craftsman?" Xue Qinglan looked at him blankly.

Xi Qiuzhi smiled and said: "You don't know, do you? Cui Rui, the third disciple of Master Ling Yi's seat, came from a famous family of hidden weapons. , vowed to perfectly combine the Cui family's hidden weapons and magic weapons, and reproduce the glory of her Cui family. I heard that the place where she lives is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and the hidden weapons are horribly densely packed.

Xue Qinglan suddenly realized, no wonder Cui Rui always stood at the door talking to her and never let her in, it turned out that it was because her place was too unsafe... Also, with Xue Qinglan's skill, if she accidentally stepped on Any trap will definitely die.

She suddenly had a big reversal in her perception of Cui Rui. Maybe the third senior sister didn't hate her, but her way of expression was a bit special?It turns out that she is also a very kind and nice person...

Xiqiuzhi continued: "This gauntlet should be her new creation, right? She just threw it to you without saying the name, what a pity. But it seems that this magic weapon should be tailor-made by her specially for you , how about little junior sister, give it a name yourself?"

Xue Qinglan was in a good mood, and said, "Since it looks like a sleeve arrow, let's call it 'Sleeve Arrow Gauntlet'."

She randomly decided on the name of the gauntlet, feeling extremely satisfied.Being able to go down the mountain and return to the human world, with two bodyguards by my side and all kinds of treasures from the teacher, I feel that life is really complete!

While feeling emotional, she boarded Xiqiuzhi's flying boat, and then she remembered that they seemed to have some mission, and asked, "By the way, where are we going to find those two people named Cao?"

Feng Yutian resumed his previous silent attitude, and Xi Qiuzhi replied on his behalf: "Cao Feng and Cao Feiyi fled Taiqing Mountain and entered the Central Plains. If I were them, I knew that I would be hunted down by Taiqing Mountain, so I would definitely change my appearance. Proceed carefully. If we want to find people, we'd better go to some big towns with sensitive intelligence."

"Are there big towns in the Central Plains? There seem to be quite a few of them. Where do we start to find them?" In her impression, there are quite a few big towns that are suitable for doing this kind of thing, and the underground intelligence is very smooth.But she doesn't have much contact with these, just know the general idea.

Xi Qiuzhi laughed, and said calmly: "Of course it is from the largest town."

Xue Qinglan's eyes lit up. Needless to say, the largest town must be Yongchang City, the capital of Daluo!

The Central Plains is a very general title, referring to a place rather than a certain country.In the Central Plains, there are many lords, large and small, who proclaim themselves kings and proclaim themselves emperors to the outside world. Among them, the most prosperous and powerful is the Daluo Kingdom. It is also considered to be within the territory of Da Luo, but it is relatively remote.

Xue Qinglan has always wanted to visit Yongchang, but once she was near Yongchang, she couldn't go in. She always regretted it, but this time she finally had the opportunity to go to Yongchang City, and she went in with integrity!

They flew from northern Xinjiang to the vicinity of Yongchang City, stopped at the outskirts of Yongchang City, collected the flying boat, and walked into the city.

While walking, Xiqiu Zhizhi reminded her: "There are many immortal cultivators in the Central Plains, and Yongchang City is a place where good and bad people are mixed together. It is possible that the person who passed you by is a famous and powerful immortal cultivator. We are here to inquire about information. Yes, you can’t provoke them casually. Also, apart from immortal cultivators, there are some mortals like aristocratic families. They all have their own backgrounds and practice skills. They have no beliefs, but they are loyal to their families. Famous families have their own The backing, the relationship network is very complicated, and it is not easy to provoke. The last thing to pay attention to is the bald donkeys that appear out of nowhere. They are too difficult to deal with. , I can’t beat it.”

He babbled a lot, nothing more than paying attention to safety and acting in a low-key manner.Xue Qinglan naturally understands these things, she is not a little girl who just entered the world for the first time, she still knows common sense, but these are kind reminders from Xiqiuzhi, even though she understands, she still has a warm heart and listens patiently to his explanation Finished, and then asked in puzzlement: "Are Tao and Buddha so wrong? Brother Xi, you say they are rough-skinned and thick-skinned? I don't understand."

She has been in the Central Plains for so long, so she has naturally seen monks, but she sees that monks have two eyes and one mouth, nothing special, and they are not taller and more powerful than ordinary people. How can they be rough and thick?Monks pay attention to eating fast and reciting Buddha's name. Not only are they not fat, but they are often very thin, especially some eminent monks who have attained the Tao, they are so skinny that I really don't see any troubles.

Xi Qiuzhi said depressedly: "You just haven't dealt with those bald donkeys. They look like human beings, but if you really attack them, they will chant Amitabha in a blur, and their bodies will glow with golden light, and then they will become It has become an iron wall, unless the magic weapon in your hand is sharp enough and the skill is high enough, you can break their turtle shell."

It seems that he has a big opinion on the monk, and his tone is full of resentment. Maybe he has suffered at the hands of a certain Buddhist disciple, or he has some kind of grudge.But if you think about it, Buddhism and Taoism have always been in opposition. Although they have joined forces sometimes, most of the time they don't see each other right, which also leads to mutual hatred between their disciples.

Although Xue Qinglan didn't quite understand listening to people's advice to eat enough, she still kept this in her heart honestly, and decided to be careful when she saw the monk again in the future.

They entered Yongchang City smoothly, Xiqiuzhi was in charge of inquiring information, while Xue Qinglan and Feng Yutian went to the inn to rest first.

While walking on the road, they found that there were many powerful people on the road, including immortal cultivators, monks, and some martial arts practitioners exuding a powerful aura.It was even more mixed up than Xue Qinglan imagined.

Xue Qinglan couldn't help asking Feng Yutian in a low voice: "Hey, so there are so many powerful guys in the secular world, they are almost everywhere, are they so worthless?"

She has practiced for a while, and although she can't be compared with these guys walking on the road, as long as the other party doesn't deliberately restrain her breath, she can still feel the difference in strength between herself and the other party.For example, now, from her keen perception, she can find that those people who are either doing nothing or walking in a hurry are extremely powerful people, at least far more powerful than her.

Feng Yutian didn't know what was going on, and said: "I have never been to Yongchang City, so I don't know what it looks like, maybe we can ask the senior brother later."

Xue Qinglan smiled confidently, and said, "Do you still need to ask senior brother? Look at me!"

She glanced casually on the street, and quickly locked on to a middle-aged man. She walked over unhurriedly, with a kind smile on her face, and said, "Brother, are you from the capital? It’s been a year since I’ve been to the capital, and it feels like everything here has changed.”

The middle-aged man didn't want to talk to her, but seeing her sincerity, she really looked like a lost lamb. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm not from the capital."

Xue Qinglan continued to hit the snake on the stick, and said: "I saw a lot of new faces on the street, and I feel so strange. Is there any big event recently?"

Since the middle-aged man said the first sentence, he didn't care about the second sentence. Anyway, he is not very busy now, so he said: "The Great Luo Kingdom will hold a 'Martial Arts Conference', and the winner will get a generous reward." Rewards, that's what I'm here for, and most of the new faces on the street are probably the same."

"Martial arts tournament?" Xue Qinglan was taken aback, tilted her head and thought for a while, she seemed to have never heard of such a thing before, and the Da Luo Kingdom should not have such a tradition, could it be a new idea?

Da Luo's national style is tough, and the people are martial arts. Even ordinary people without spiritual roots can do a little kung fu. If there is any martial arts meeting in the capital, it will definitely be very lively, no wonder there are so many people.Everyone in the world is for profit. I don't know how many good things Da Luo has brought out to attract so many foreign warriors and immortal cultivators.

She asked the middle-aged man about the detailed information about the martial arts competition, and when she knew about it, she found an excuse to plead guilty and left, and turned back to Feng Yutian's side.

She roughly talked to Feng Yutian about the information she obtained, and concluded: "I have a hunch..."

As she spoke, she intentionally lowered her voice and slowed down her speech, Feng Yutian was really curious and asked, "What premonition?"
