Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

For two seconds, the traveler said nothing.

fluorescent:"……"

Lin Xiu: "??"

three seconds.

The girl stood up suddenly, stretched out her slender arm covered by a white sleeve under Lin Xiu's delighted gaze, and then spread her palms. Did she want to...shake hands?

Although some strange Ying's performance did not match his own impression, Lin Xiu did not resist this kind of friendly performance, and immediately stretched out his hand, but just before he was about to hold it——

"15 years, 180 months, 16 days, [-] days a day, a total of [-]."

Slowly, a "?" floated out of Lin Xiu's head

"The original (spirit) stone that owes me."

109. Junior Sister "A Qing"

Nanluoguan, also known as Nanluoguan, was named after "difficult to attack but never to fall".

It is rumored that a long time ago, Suxuanling and Xinanling had several battles that spread to the entire territory. It has become a place where Suxuanling monks gather and exchange information.

And as the war subsided, most of the monks chose to evacuate and return to their homeland. Some relatively low-level monks took a fancy to the convenience here. The monks exchanged information, so they chose to stay here.

As time went by, what was originally just a temporary market continued to expand, so that it became today's "Nanluoguan".

In fact, if it develops according to the general situation, Nanluoguan, as an important place that can communicate with Suxuanling and Xinanling, can't let a few foundation-building stage monks have the final say. The Jindan Daoist of the same level should sit in the town, otherwise no one would know that the Xinan leader would call suddenly.

However, the appearance of Master Tianhe more than 1000 years ago suddenly made the situation clear.

With a "Tianhe Sword" that shocked the five leaders, he beheaded thirteen Nascent Soul Masters in a short period of 300 years, and broke the Taoist inheritance of six sects one after another. Daoist Dan, even if all the Jindan and Nascent Souls in the entire Suxuan collar were tied up and thrown to Nanluoguan, it would not help if they really wanted to kill them, but the top power would be wiped out at once.

Under such circumstances, the upper-level monks in Suxuan's collar resolutely gave up confrontation, and directly chose to "open up": Anyway, my door is wide open, so you can come and go, whatever you like.

I don't know if this approach really played a role. As far as the result is concerned, Master Tianhe didn't really take any major actions against this Su Xuanling until his fall. The overlord of the southern province of Xi'an, He Guizong, has also reduced the frequency of communication between the two territories, and the "Nanluoguan", which originally had a lot of lucrative resources, has suddenly become tasteless. Daoist Jindan naturally didn't like it, so it evolved into a situation where a few foundation-building monks were used to support the front.

"According to the information collected by Gan Yu before, we can deduce the general form of the difficult pass: currently the pass is controlled by three major families, namely the Shan Family, which controls [-]% of the sources of elixirs, and monopolizes almost all the focus of the refining market. family, and the Duan family who control more than two-thirds of the stores in Nanluoguan."

"However, with the changes in the south of the river, many casual cultivators flocked from the north to try to enter the south of the river through Nanluoguan in search of opportunities, but because they found traces of the Jindan real person's fighting skills near the Beiwang mountain, in order to avoid being harmed by the fish in the pond We can only stay here for the time being, these casual cultivators have had a serious impact on the current situation in Nanluo Pass, so the control of the three masters in the pass is not as strong as before... Is there anything unclear?"

"There are a few points."

Closing the scroll in her hand, Keqing maintained her prudence and earnestness in her work: "Please speak."

"First, why the three masters?"

"That's a good question. It is true that there are more than three Xiuxian families who have controlled Nanluoguan in these years. However, the different families have attacked each other. At least for now, the Shan family, the Jiao family and the Duan family have the absolute advantage. The reason is also It's very simple: they all have foundation-building monks."

"No, that's not what I'm asking. Why is there always Yusanjia wherever I go... Forget the second question, you said Gan Yu collected the information, but how did she tell you?"

To be honest, Lin Xiu cares more about this than the last question. After all, he knows his own situation well. With Lin Xiu's current cultivation of spiritual consciousness, he can only maintain the thinking and communication ability of Ying, Keqing and Gan Yu. Naturally, it is impossible for Gan Yu to transfer the collected information to Ke Qing, and then let Ke Qing sort it out and then inform Lin Xiu.

Faced with Lin Xiu's question, Ke Qing didn't hide it, but simply stated the reason: "Usually we can have some relatively simple communication, such as through sight and movement, but this kind of communication The efficiency is very low, far from what it is now."

Lin Xiuruo nodded with comprehension: "That is to say, you were able to achieve this level before I established the foundation?"

"...The main reason why the Duan family didn't continue to search for that 'Master Duan' near Feng'an Village was because they encountered trouble two months ago. I intend to seize a piece of foundation here, and it just so happens that the Duan family is the one with the most resources among the three families, so the latter has to focus on this new Foundation Establishment cultivator."

I have to say that Ke Qing's method of changing the subject was quite blunt, but Lin Xiu didn't intend to delve into it any further - if he really wanted to, he would inevitably have to get involved in that sky-high debt... Hey, what did I think just now?Must be an illusion.

Following the summary of information provided by Keqing, Lin Xiu seriously thought about the next action.

There are two urgent issues before Lin Xiu, one is the news about the south of the river, especially He Guizong, and the other is how to obtain spirit stones to maintain his cultivation.

The former requires Lin Xiu to stay around Nanluoguan. After all, the closer he is to the south of the river, the more he can get first-hand information, and there is no guarantee that there will be Heguizong outer disciples who escaped from Beiwangshan like himself.

As for the latter... Based on the information collected by Gan Yu and summarized by Ke Qing, Lin Xiu already has a preliminary plan, but before that, he still has to go to Nanluo Pass for "field investigation".

"Without investigation, there is no right to speak. No amount of paper is as good as a personal experience. I agree with this decision."

Keqing expressed her approval and support for Lin Xiu's choice without any surprises. It is only natural, after all, this is a "practical school" who went to the rocky abyss to pull a cart, helped the workers at the south dock to ram the soil, and ran the hall in a small restaurant. .

But then there was a problem.

"Ah Qing, do you want to go with me?"

"...Of course we are together."

For some reason, Ke Qing paused before answering, but Lin Xiu didn't care: "Then what relationship should we use?"

"relation?"

Probably because she hadn't thought about this question, Ke Qing still couldn't understand it for a while after Lin Xiu raised it.

"Yes, then I will call you Ah Qing, what do you call me?"

You can't call me dad, can you?

Wait, it seems... not impossible.

"Brother Lin."

"what?"

She didn't have the shyness and evasion of ordinary girls when faced with similar topics. When she raised her head, only Ke Qing's calm and serious gaze met her: "So don't call me Ah Qing or Master Ke, just Junior Sister."

Good guy, I care about you as a fellow daoist, but you want to be my junior sister?

110. Nanluoguan and Jianbao Pavilion 50000 recommendations

Nanluoguan, the border between Suxuanling and Xinanling.

It has been established thousands of years ago, but due to various reasons, it has not been able to continue to expand in scale. Today it is still a town with a population of less than 50.

Different from the past, with the continuous influx of casual cultivators from the north in search of opportunities to enter the South of the River, the chaos in Nanluoguan has been maintained for a while, but only relying on the suppression of the foundation monks and the family, this chaos The phenomenon will not expand into commotion or even turmoil.

Even so, the three major families in Nanluo Pass were too busy to take care of the monks who entered the pass one by one. In such a situation, Lin Xiu, who brought Ke Qing, only showed his later stage of Qi training. It's just a cultivation base, so he passed the checkpoint and entered it under the awe-inspiring gaze of the guards.

"I have been staying in the Zongmen's environment where foundation building is everywhere, Qi training is as numerous as dogs, and only Jindan can shake it. I thought it was the same outside."

Feeling the gaze cast from behind, Lin Xiu was slightly moved in his heart.

It is said that the higher one goes, the more magnificent the scenery is. For example, during the Qi refining period, the existence of the Foundation Establishment Realm is as rare as pandas. When stepping into Foundation Establishment, there are so many existences in the same realm.

But when it comes to me, it's the other way around. In the past, from time to time, I could see real people in the golden core state appearing in front of others, but now I can only hear a name at best. In this Nanluoguan, it is like a "Dinghai God Needle".

However, considering that Heguizong is a large-scale sect supported by the resources of a territory, and there is not even a large-scale spiritual vein around Nanluoguan, only a few spiritual veins of average quality It is understandable that there will be such a situation.

"There are no more than ten foundation-builders on the surface of Nanluoguan. This is based on the premise that several of them came from the north. In order to go to the south of the stream to seek opportunities, under normal circumstances, there will not be more than five foundation-builders here. bit."

Ke Qing, who was behind her, lowered her voice and added information to Lin Xiu: "With Senior Brother Lin's current cultivation base and strength, as long as he doesn't provoke too many enemies rashly, there is nothing to worry about."

A relatively objective evaluation is also based on this evaluation. Lin Xiu did not choose to just let Ke Qing in while he waited outside, but simply acted together.

After entering Nanluoguan, Lin Xiu didn't waste too much time, but simply observed the atmosphere in the pass for a while, and then took Keqing straight to the first destination of the trip.

Treasure Court.

As the name suggests, it is a facility dedicated to providing appraisal services. After all, monks have all kinds of weird skills, and the nature and types of various magic tools derived from them are also very different. In the same situation, it may also be a poison bead that kills people invisible.

It would be no problem if it was owned by the original host, but for some magical artifacts that are not very formal, if you want to understand the functions and taboos of these magical artifacts, you have to pass a special appraisal monk.

The Jianbao Pavilion in Nanluoguan is not the only one, but is scattered throughout the Suxuan area in a way similar to a "large chain". One of the reasons why Lin Xiu chose it.

After revealing his cultivation in the late stage of Qi training, the attendants at the reception quickly took Lin Xiu to the private room on the third floor. Not long after he left after confessing his guilt, a monk who exuded the fluctuations of spiritual energy at the eighth level of Qi training stepped into the room. , after seeing Lin Xiu, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise—with the tenth level of Qi training that Lin Xiu has shown so far, he is already a worthy existence in the entire Nanluo Pass.

Not to mention that Lin Xiu was accompanied by a female cultivator whose face was hidden by a bamboo hat. If this kind of cooperation was permanent in Nanluoguan, it would definitely not be an unknown person. In other words...

"The two fellow Taoists came from the north?"

With an inscrutable smile, Lin Xiu didn't answer, but just reached out and pointed to the Qiankun bag on the table: "Please ask Fellow Daoist Zhan to appraise the contents, and report the number by the way."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Seeing Lin Xiu's response, the appraisal cultivator surnamed Zhan didn't dare to continue asking, but took the Qiankun bag and turned his back——

- Crash.

"This……"

Seeing all kinds of magic instruments piled up almost half of the long table, the monk surnamed Zhan who hadn't sat still subconsciously stood up again, but when he met Lin Xiu's half-smiling eyes and the nuances on the female cultivator behind him, The faint "spiritual charm" emanating from it swallowed a mouthful of saliva and sat back obediently.

"This fellow Taoist... is so generous, Zhan is just a little surprised, and has no other thoughts."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiu to respond, he hurriedly started his own work.

……

Naturally, these magical artifacts were not taken from the ninth disciple of the Master Sword Demon. It is impossible for a single Foundation Establishment cultivator to bring so many magical artifacts. Although the quality obtained from the monks who were beheaded on the way back to the clan, although the quality is not good, it is still a lot of money, especially for monks who are in the realm of Qi training, so just now the monk surnamed Zhan did this. kind of reaction.

On the contrary, if it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who took out these instruments, it would probably be "barely visible".

Surrounded by the seemingly absent sword intent, the monk surnamed Zhan honestly looked at these magic weapons one by one, and gave a relatively fair price.

"If the two fellow daoists are willing to sell, Zhan is willing to buy these magical artifacts with [-] spirit stones, and promises that no one will find fellow daoists because of these magical artifacts afterwards."

"Heh, since the two of us brothers and sisters can get these magical weapons, how can we worry about those little incidents? Compared with these unnecessary trivial matters, we have a deal to discuss with Zhan Daoyou."

"This……"

The monk surnamed Zhan instinctively wanted to refuse, but he couldn't say it after hearing the next sentence.

"Don't worry, how about using these instruments as bargaining chips for our senior brothers and sisters?"

"Gudu" swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking of this magic weapon worth 3000 and [-] spirit stones, but the eyes of the monk surnamed Zhan on the eighth level of Qi training suddenly turned red,

This is not Heguizong. Even a Qi-training disciple in Heguizong would have to work hard to get so many spirit stones, and he may not be able to get them all. Nanluoguan is almost a place for monks. At the boundary of the "barren mountains and secluded mountains", this spirit stone is enough to make ten monks like him risk their lives, but right now it is just a bargaining chip in a deal.

The monk surnamed Zhan nodded fiercely with red eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu showed a smile on his face.

……

Half an hour later, after the monk surnamed Zhan thanked Lin Xiu for taking Keqing out of the Jianbao Pavilion, and after confirming with his spiritual sense that there was no follower behind him, Lin Xiu stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his brows: "It has turned into such a situation. , I'm in trouble."

What responded was Ke Qing's cautious voice behind him: "The monk's words cannot be believed unilaterally."

"I know, but according to his position at the time, it seems that he didn't have the courage and reason to lie about this kind of thing..."

As far as the result is concerned, the "transaction" just now went very smoothly, even too smoothly, so that now Lin Xiu had to face a difficult choice.

Using a magic weapon worth [-] spirit stones as a bargaining chip, Lin Xiu learned a lot of information from the monk surnamed Zhan that Gan Yu hadn't been able to collect before. After all, Gan Yu's previous actions were all around Xiaoqingshan Around the surrounding area, the most I can know is some information on the road that even the monks at the bottom know a little bit. The real "insider information" is either the core members of the three major families, or someone with a background like Jianbao Pavilion. Only the "chain operators" of the three masters are eligible to know.
