Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

In addition, regardless of the size of the city, the resident population and the number of monks are not much different from other second-tier cities. However, when Lin Xiu started from Kuncheng City and rushed to the city by the shortest route, the scene he saw was different. Much different than expected.

Considering the grievances between him and the Su Xinzong, it is impossible to say that fierce conflicts may break out at any time, so Lin Xiu did not mean to let everyone enter the city this time, but stayed on the outside of "Rhode Island" and was ready to respond at any time While retreating, he sneaked into the city with Keqing's hidden identity to inquire about news.

However, unlike what he imagined when he came here, what he saw after stepping into Zhuoquan City exceeded Lin Xiu's expectations.

It's not too bad. On the contrary, from the perspective of the three cities that Lin Xiu has set foot in, Zhuoquan City is actually the best one among them.

Among the three cities that Lin Xiu set foot in, if Wensheng City is crowded and Xianzhong City is chaotic, then Zhuoquan City is "quiet".

The almost desolate quietness is particularly evident in the outer city. Lin Xiu didn't even find many patrolling monks, only the outer city was still in operation, and the formation used to stop the monsters proved that there were still people in it.

As far as Lin Xiu entered the city, the entire outer city area, not to mention [-] rooms and [-]% empty, already has a vacancy rate of close to [-]% to [-]%. This kind of scene is absolutely unimaginable in Wensheng City and Xianzhong City.

After all, the overall situation of the Qingyuan Territory is clear at a glance. Except for the powerful monks who still have a little breathing room, once ordinary people leave the city, the formation and the protection of the monks will definitely die outside.

Based on such a premise, the land of the "Seven Cities" is the last living space of the Qingyuan leader human race, and to accommodate such a large number of people in such a narrow space, one would wish to split one piece of land into two. After all, it means more living space, which can accommodate more fellows who are struggling to survive.

The same is true of what Lin Xiu saw in Wensheng City and Xianzhong City before, only the outermost area near the formation, because of the danger of monster attacks, the density will be relatively reduced, and the rest are closer to the core The greater the density of people, obviously there are no row upon row of high-rise buildings, but the density of people is almost comparable to the commercial circle of the metropolis before Lin Xiu crossed.

However, this scene changed dramatically in Zhuoquan City, but after Lin Xiu brought Keqing into Zhuoquan City, he moved from the outer city to the inner city, scanning the surrounding buildings with his spiritual sense along the way. Except for a very small number of people living there, the rest are basically in a state of no one cares about.

Moreover, this change did not happen suddenly, or was caused by some kind of violent force, otherwise it would more or less inevitably leave some traces.

As far as Lin Xiu could see, most of the vacant buildings were neatly arranged inside, as if they had deliberately tidied up before the owner left.

Not only that, these vacant buildings are not all the same. As far as Lin Xiu saw, the closer the houses to the outer area, the more dilapidated they looked. On the contrary, there are still traces of repairs near the inner ring area. It seems that there were people inside not long ago. live.

Such a scene has continued until the inner city has changed.

Although it is still not as good as the staff in Wensheng City and Xianzhong City, after stepping into the inner city, it finally returned to the "crowded" atmosphere.

But in this "crowding of voices", Lin Xiu quickly noticed the difference except here.

It is also in the Qingyuan Territory, and it is also threatened by the demon clan, but in Zhuoquan City, Lin Xiu did not see the fear and anxiety that Wen Shengcheng saw, nor did he see the sharp conflicts in Xianzhong City. Except that the area of ​​activity is also restricted and cannot easily leave the city, the entire Zhuoquan City is like an ordinary city living in a peaceful zone.

This scene reminded Lin Xiu of the mortal cities he set foot in as a disciple of He Guizong's Foreign Affairs Hall when he was just a little Qi training monk.Obviously the two are far apart in terms of situation and geographical location, but Lin Xiu saw similar features from the land in the far west of Qingyuan Territory...

But for a while, Lin Xiu couldn't put too much energy into it. The most urgent thing is to find Zhao Siming and his party first. If Liang Tianchen didn't deceive himself, he should be able to find out about them in Zhuoquan City.

With this in mind, Lin Xiuzai, who concealed his appearance, led Keqing into the inner city.

Thinking that we should start looking for Zhao Siming's information from other aspects, while moving aimlessly on the main road while observing the surroundings to capture information, he suddenly noticed abnormal movements behind him.

At the same time, Ke Qing, who also wrapped herself up tightly, cast a questioning look.

Wait, are you saying...

Suppressing the excitement rising up in his heart, Lin Xiu didn't say anything after confirming that the follower behind him was indeed the person he thought he was. Suddenly turned into the laneway.

Then, while looking at the intersection with expectant eyes, Ke Qing explained to the speechless Ke Qing next to him: "Ah Qing, you don't understand, this is the only way for every protagonist... Although there is a lot less before. setting link, but as long as it can be continued, it will be fine!"

"As long as I'm not mistaken, two thieves will come over later and ask me to hand over all my money. Just don't make a sound and hand it over to me, and—"

"Just to remind you."

Interrupting Lin Xiu's increasingly excited school of fish, Ke Qing hugged the "Fog Cut Backlight" in her hand and said suddenly: "These two are leaving."

"???"

In astonishment, Lin Xiu didn't care about the "setting", and quickly swept outside with his divine sense.

It was only after this scan that I suddenly discovered that the thieves who had been following me until just now—two monks who were no more than the third level of Qi training were muttering at the intersection, vaguely hearing things like "risk", "perceived", "unnecessary" and so on. Words, and then quickly reached a consensus in a very short period of time before turning around and leaving, without any intention of following the "script" at all.

No, generally speaking, the more it is like this, the better it is to do it?

To put it bluntly: this is all I take off my pants?

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Lin Xiu directly used his spiritual sense to implicate the aura, turned into the shape of palms, and pulled the collars of the two people who turned their heads away, and dragged them into the alley before the pedestrians around them had time to notice.

313. Hearing sad, listening to tears 4k

For Fan Xiaohua, this day is definitely one of the most unlucky days in his life.

Early in the morning, he went out with half a spirit stone that he had accumulated in a month and a half, intending to spend extravagantly purchase a elixir to improve his cultivation level, but he was caught by a "senior" who surpassed his realm within a few steps after setting off. Knocked head-on and fell to the ground. Fortunately, this "senior" was quite a gentleman and didn't pursue it. Instead, he gave him a cold snort and left straight away.

When he hurriedly pleaded guilty, he came to the market where the elixirs were sold by chance secretly in his heart. When he selected the elixirs and planned to pay for the spirit stones, he pulled out his chest but found nothing. Only then did he realize what was wrong with the collision just now .

But at this time, what else can he do, is it possible to search the entire inner city to find that person?

Taking a step back, even if he did find the other party, would it be possible to get it back given that the "senior" was obviously a step above him in cultivation?

Thinking of Fan Xiaohua couldn't help being filled with grief and anger, the salesperson on the opposite side also showed strange colors after seeing Fan Xiaohua unable to take out the spirit stone for a long time.

Afterwards, Fan Xiaohua had no choice but to leave in a hurry with the salesman's faintly contemptuous gaze. When he walked outside the pill shop and got lost in the journey of life, he saw a man sitting with his mouth slightly open and his eyes glazed over not far away. Silly looking at the figures of pedestrians on the street on the side of the road.

Under a certain sympathy, Fan Xiaohua came forward to strike up a conversation, and only then did she know that this person was called Niu An'an, and she had just encountered the same thing as herself.

The two hit it off right away, criticizing and cursing the monk who had no mastery, and after venting their anger, they had to think about the way forward.

"There are fewer and fewer tasks assigned by Sujian Pavilion, how should we, the Qi training monks, deal with ourselves in the future?"

"Don't mention it. Not long ago, Fan Mou held an important position in the catering department. He has three spirit stones to get every month. Not only can he supply his own cultivation, but he even has spare energy to purchase pills to break through the realm. Now it is not a breakthrough, if not There are still spirit veins here, and even this cultivation is almost unbearable."

"Hey, this is also a temporary measure. I heard that the real person of Sujian Pavilion intends to take away the discovery of the spiritual veins in the city. By then, even the thin spiritual energy will be gone. I am afraid that in a few years, the realm will regress and regress. For mortals."

"Ah, digging out the spiritual veins? Could it be that the real person of Sujian Pavilion is planning to abandon this city? As the envoy of the Suxin Sect, do you really have any objections?"

"The envoy of the Suxin sect? I'm afraid this matter is decided by the envoy, but it's a pity that we are Qi training monks."

In the midst of complaining and voicing bitterness, at a certain moment Niu An An gritted his teeth: "For the current plan, the only way to deal with him is to treat him in his own way."

Fan Xiaohua cheered up: "Oh, brother Niu, what's the trick?"

Then, under Niu An'an's narration, Fan Xiaohua learned about the plan of this monk who had just made friends and had already begun to call her brothers.

Well, it’s not a plan, it’s just an idea: stealing spirit stones, if others can do it, we can’t do it?

You who are on the fourth level of qi training can come and steal our spirit stones on the third level of qi training, so that we dare not speak up. Can't we who are on the third level of qi training be able to steal those who are on the first and second levels of qi training?

But in this way, there is another problem. In Zhuoquan City, except for the monks who have no background like them, the other monks are not as good as they are and cannot be easily offended. After all, who knows if there will be someone standing behind them Existences at the level of "foundation building power" are about to appear in this situation, and the opponent can destroy them as long as they stretch out a finger.

However, the means and vision of the two of them couldn't accurately screen out who had the background and who didn't. After thinking hard, they came up with a solution that didn't work, and that was to pick out those who looked sneaky.

Sneaky means not being seen by others, and even if one really suffers, one will endure it.

After coming up with this "ingenious plan", the two began to look for a partner, but after a long time, the ones they found were either those with higher cultivation bases than them - the third level of Qi training, even if it was put in the whole world of cultivating immortals, it would definitely not be called "High", let alone Zhuoquan City in Qingyuan, especially in the inner city.

But they can't help it. With the mass relocation of people from the outer city, there are basically no monks except for a very small number of mortals who can't leave their homeland. Even if they really run out, they are doomed to get nothing.

And even if they managed to find someone with a lower level of cultivation than them, they would either have "superior people" around them to take care of them, or they would have extraordinary conversation, and they would be untouchable at first glance.

Just like that, the two searched for a long time, and when they were hungry, thirsty and tired, they were about to give up the bleak career of "banditing", when they suddenly noticed two figures.

Judging from their demeanor, these two people are not sneaky, but their clothes are very concealed, and their aura is also weak (because they came in from the outer city, Lin Xiu used the "Virtual Phase Method" to repair himself and Ke Qing. Suppressed to the minimum), as a "prey" is simply perfect for them.

Immediately, Fan Xiaohua and Niu Anan followed behind them, ready to wait for the opportunity to act.

However, when the two were secretly discussing how to lure the target to a remote and uninhabited place, so that they could steal when they did it, they saw that the two suddenly changed their route and walked into a remote alleyway on their own initiative.

Facing the perfect unfolding, whether it was Fan Xiaohua or Niu An'an, they suddenly fell silent.

Standing in front of the alleyway, the two looked at each other.

"I don't know if Brother Fan has heard the recent rumors."

"What a coincidence, brother Niu also heard about it?"

The content of the rumor is not complicated, it is a story about "black eating black", the key words are three "risks", "detection" and "black eating black", and a conclusion is drawn: it is not necessary.

There was a silence after that, which was finally broken by the promoter Niu An'an: "Speaking of which, Niu has to deliver water to the old Wang next door today."

"What a coincidence? I also have to take care of Aunt Zhao behind the house."

"That……"

"We just broke up like this?"

"Oh oh oh, that's it."

Talking as if there were some monsters and ghosts in the alley, the two turned around and left.

Unfortunately, it was still a step behind.

Accompanied by the huge force coming from behind, a trance has already come from the main road full of people to the dark and damp alleyway, not only that, but the bustling noise just now also disappeared, although it can still be heard sound, but it seems that what is stretched is not just a few feet, but dozens or even hundreds of feet.

At this moment, Fan Xiaohua's heart was cold: it's over.

Although I had this premonition when I saw the two people walking into the alleyway suddenly, I didn't expect that it really unfolded like this.

All of a sudden, rumors about various "superior people" setting themselves up in ambush, fishing and then eating black people emerged one after another in my mind.

It's a pity that he, Fan Xiaohua, has encountered such rare incidents for ordinary monks in his life after only six years of cultivation, and it happened twice in one day. Being "evil and black" by a higher cultivation level.

Although Zhuoquan City's cultivation resources have been shrinking day by day over the years, forcing them, Qi training monks, to use this method to maintain their cultivation, but it has never been heard that "experts" have been involved to such an extent.

If things go on like this, one day even Daoist Jindan will start to take to the streets to engage in these dirty tricks, right?

Just when Fan Xiaohua's head was in a mess, half annoyed by the situation and half desperate for the next fate, she heard a voice in front of her.

"Why did you two stop just now?"

"……Forehead?"

Looking up in astonishment, what she saw was neither an angry face nor a face full of killing intent, but an aura—an aura that bloomed from a spirit stone. Although there were not many spirit stones that Fan Xiaohua had come into contact with before, there were still some with double digits. , but even if all those spirit stones are piled together, the blooming spirit light is not eleventh of the one in front of me.

Not only that, but it is also a spirit stone. The spiritual energy inside the stone in front of me is so rich that it is beyond imagination. I didn't even touch it directly. I just took a breath from a distance of two feet. The bottleneck in the early stage of Qi training has been loosened. Fan Xiaohua's sluggish gaze broke through—but she broke through from the early stage of Qi training to the middle stage of Qi training!

But at this moment, this "expert" held this spiritual stone that was beyond his imagination at will, and asked them in a tone of "hate iron but not steel": "Do you think I have nothing good? High-grade spirit stone Stones, top-grade magic tools, foundation-building talismans—everything is available, even if you want magic weapons!"

High-grade spirit stones, top-grade instruments, and foundation-building talismans?

What is he talking about?

Although she didn't know exactly what happened, her survival instinct made Fan Xiaohua take quick action, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Senior, please forgive me, senior, please forgive me——"

Driven by him, Niu An'an, who was a little dazed at first, also reacted, and quickly made the same move.

Looking at the two "true low-level monks" who kept begging for mercy in front of him, Lin Xiu also knew that once this kind of "unfolding" that was beyond expectation stopped, it would be impossible to come back.

He sighed with regret in his heart, put away the spirit stone in his hand and regained his composure: "You two are also monks, why have you fallen to such a point."

Although the third level of Qi training is a little low, it is not enough to fall to such a state, right?

Not to mention, in Wensheng City and Xianzhong City, monk resources were in a state of insufficient resources, no matter how low the cultivation level was, they could still receive some jobs like "cleaning" or "planting".

This is also inevitable. After all, so many mortals are crowded in a limited space, hygiene and diet alone are a big problem, and in such a crowded environment, mortal means and tools are not capable of handling it thoughtfully. It is perfect for these trivial but not difficult tasks to be handed over to the low-level Qi training monks.
