According to Lin Xiu's estimate, the current D-level stove can support his cultivation to the sixth level of Qi training, which is the limit. At that time, if he wants to break through the later stages of Qi training, he will have to use a C-level stove, and the two-level floor stove can be rented. The price difference is...ten times.

Lin Xiu also gasped when he heard the news suddenly, and he understood what was going on after carefully asking the senior guards on duty in the Artifact Refining Pavilion.

If the garrison-level ground stove is for handyman disciples to refine mortal-level sharp weapons, then the D-level ground stove is for the outer disciples to practice their hands. From then on, the C-level ground stoves use the main force It is the late stage of Qi training and the level of inner disciples, and it is already a furnace that can barely produce magic weapon level.

Considering the price of those magical artifacts costing tens of hundreds of spirit stones, it is not surprising that the rental fee of the C-grade ground furnace is so high. This is the internal price of the disciples of the sect. A firepower supply is stable, and there will be no internal and external dangers during the refining process. It is estimated that the price to be paid is more than three times higher.

After learning about this, Lin Xiu has no opinion, what else can he do?Take out the spirit stone obediently.

Originally, relying on the spirit stone provided by Mr. Qian, he could sustain it by gritting his teeth for a year or two, but neither the part spent on Ying nor the part Lin Xiu used to refine the "God's Eye" What can be saved, when there are not many ways to save money, naturally the only way to think about it is to open source.

It just so happened that the sect's second foreign affairs mission was about to start again. This time, Lin Xiu planned to see if he could pick up two missions along the way, so he could earn some subsidies.

Immediately, Lin Xiu returned to the station to rest for a day. After washing off his fatigue, he took the newly bought spiritual tea and went to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to stay for a morning. Zongmen foreign affairs mission.

"Investigate the theft in Qingquan Town?"

When Lin Xiu took over this task from the disciple on duty in the Foreign Affairs Hall, Lin Xiu was a little dazed.

When did He Guizong get to the point where he could catch a thief, or did something major happen during his more than a month of retreat?

Fortunately, the explanation given by the disciple on duty soon made Lin Xiu realize that he was thinking too much.

"If it's just an ordinary theft, the disciples of He Guizong would not be dispatched. The main reason is that this 'theft' is a little abnormal. You can read the details."

Lin Xiu took the thin booklet and flipped through it casually.

Compared with the first foreign mission, the situation of the second foreign mission is a bit more complicated, not only because the destination of this mission is no longer a sparsely populated mountain forest boundary but a town with a population of tens of thousands, but also because of this There is no intuitive target information for the mission target of this time.

According to the records, there have been bizarre thefts in Qingquan Town since about a month ago. The thieves had no specific target, but took some items from a certain household every once in a while. It will attract the attention of the Foreign Affairs Hall, and it is the Yuanwai family in Qingquan Town who really made this theft weird.

According to the description of the outsider, when he heard that thieves were rampant in Qingquan Town, the outsider deliberately strengthened the defense in the yard, and hid a batch of his most precious calligraphy, painting and jewelry in the basement.

That's not all, as the thefts in Qingquan Town intensified and the thieves still disappeared, Yuanwai, who felt uneasy, simply moved to the basement every night-the thefts in Qingquan Town basically happened in the middle of the night.

Theoretically, to achieve this level, no matter how clever the thief is, it is impossible to steal Yuanwai's treasures. The problem is that the thief not only stole it, but also happened under Yuanwai's nose.

That night, Yuan Wai turned on the lights in the entire basement as usual. When he was about to close his clothes and sleep, he suddenly saw a shadow floating on the wall. He was shocked and called the guards to come in, but found an incredible scene.

"Only shadows without people?"

The disciple of the Foreign Affairs Hall nodded and said: "That's right, the shadow disappeared after taking away a book of paintings and calligraphy from Yuanwai. During the whole process, there were six guards present including Yuanwai, but no one saw the 'thief' at all." appearance, except for that shadow."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu was deeply troubled, and asked tentatively: "Brother, this task may be too difficult for the younger brother, how about another one?"

The senior from the Foreign Affairs Hall smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about it. The Foreign Affairs Hall has no intention of letting the disciples die in vain when they entrust the tasks to the disciples. We're done."

Having already said this, Lin Xiu has no reason to refuse. He gritted his teeth and accepted the foreign affairs mission, and then ran to the mission hall along the way. Following the route of this sect mission, he found two people who could complete the mission The "sub-tasks" - to collect Ziyingcao and escort the Nourishing Pill.

The former is a special kind of spiritual grass that grows outside the main gate. It’s not impossible to transplant it, but the cost of transplanting is much higher than going out to collect it, and this kind of spiritual grass itself has little value and use, so it’s just a long-term task. up.

As for the Yanyan Pill, it was given to an old friend she met in the mortal world by a senior sister from the outer sect. It is said that the Yanyan Pill has no miraculous effect. But the lasting effect can reach two or three years.

After the following "side missions", he took the beauty pill in the box from the senior sister and threw it into the Qiankun bag. Lin Xiu put the nameless long sword used for cultivation on his waist and walked towards the place where Qingquan Town is located. Qingguo set off.

19. Chongguo's Martial Arts Conference

Qing Kingdom is located in the east of the Nanling Mountains, separated from Heguizong by Chongguo. The terrain is mainly plains, and the humid climate brings vast suitable arable land. Even Qingquan Town, the destination of Lin Xiu's trip, has a permanent population of no less than [-].

First life and second familiarity, with the experience of the last trip, this time Lin Xiu did not enter the territory of Chongguo "with great fanfare" after setting off from the east gate, otherwise the situation in Xiguo last time would inevitably repeat itself.

Putting all the objects that might reveal the identity of the cultivator into the Qiankun bag, Lin Xiu rode a bought horse all the way eastward with only an ordinary refined iron sword.

Perhaps it was because of the border with Heguizong, including Xiguo to the south, there was not much chaos in Chongxi and Chongxi, at least the dark feudal scene that Lin Xiu knew in the past did not exist.The last encounter in Longmen Gorge was purely accidental. If it wasn't for the fact that the gang of robbers planned to make a big ticket and run away, they wouldn't have made a special trip to that place to set up an ambush.

Generally speaking, the countries in the south of the river are still in a "peace and prosperity" background, and the closer they are to the Heguizong land boundary, the more obvious this situation is. As for those remote and small countries, before Lin Xiu really set foot Not good to judge.

Along the road from Chongguo to Qingguo, Lin Xiu, who did not join the caravan this time, was able to use his own eyes to observe the mundane world of cultivating immortals.

Except for those towns bordering Heguizong, the farther away you go, the fewer traces and legends about the cultivators, but the rumors about the imperial court and martial arts gradually increase.

When Lin Xiu walked halfway, he met a group of martial arts people with swords and swords, and rushed to Shengxuan Mansion of Qingguo to participate in the biennial martial arts conference. Seeing that Lin Xiu was also walking forward with a sword, he sent him away. He also regarded it as a young hero of some sect, so he yelled and marched forward together.

Lin Xiu, who originally planned to broaden his knowledge, naturally had no reason to refuse, and accepted the invitation immediately.

"This is Miaotong Miaoxia from the Yanyue Gate, with a superb swordsmanship on Yanyue; this is Mr. Bai Yuchen from Benlei Villa, whose pair of Thunderbolt hands are well-known in the Qing Kingdom. This is Jin Jin Haojin Shaoxia of the Yang Gang, people in the Jianghu are called 'Little Jin Ge'..."

Under the enthusiastic introduction of the leading middle-aged man, Lin Xiu had a preliminary understanding of this group of martial arts people... Well, in fact, he just remembered the names roughly, after all, this group is full of nearly twenty people , each one has both a name and a title, plus those skills that sound lofty, to write them all down is more than the number of words in a book of "Entraining Qi Jue".

That is to say, after cultivating immortals, the memory has been strengthened a lot, otherwise it would be really difficult to memorize these twenty or so names all of a sudden.

At the end of the introduction, it was this middle-aged man who looked like a leader.

"My humble Ouyang Feng, an unknown person, thanks to the respect of you young heroes, I will be the leader for the time being on this journey."

Before the words were finished, Miao Tong Miao Nvxia who rode the horse behind said: "If even the mighty 'Fire Sun Palm' is unknown, what do I care if I wait for the backwards?"

After speaking, there were many responses, Ouyang Feng just smiled and did not argue.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu probably understood the situation clearly. It's normal to install AC. If it wasn't for worrying about affecting the next mission schedule, Lin Xiu actually wanted to pretend.

And what is Ouyang Feng?Ouyang Feng's homotope from another world?

After introducing himself and his group, Ouyang Feng turned his attention to Lin Xiu, implying that it was Lin Xiu's turn to introduce, and Lin Xiu then mentioned the identities he had already fabricated in his heart: "I am Lin Xiu, my teacher Tiejianmen, I just stepped into Jianghu not long ago, I heard that there was a martial arts conference in Shengxuan City, so I wanted to go and see it."

Ouyang Feng nodded knowingly: "Then Lin Shaoxia must seize this opportunity, after all, not every martial arts conference can have such a grand event."

"Oh? Isn't the martial arts conference held every two years?"

Ouyang Feng explained: "This martial arts conference is not the other martial arts conference. If it were a normal martial arts conference, it would certainly attract the attention of the Qing Kingdom's martial arts, but it would not attract young heroes from all schools and sects. The reason for this grand event is that It is because there are immortals here, if you can leave an impression in front of the immortals, you may be able to worship in the immortal mountain, and from then on you will become an immortal immortal."

Hearing Ouyang Feng's dignified remarks, Lin Xiu was taken aback for a while.

It's not time for He Guizong's new round of recruitment yet, right?

And it's still in Shengxuan City to the west of Qing Kingdom, not to mention entering the fairy mountain to become a fairy... It's hard to say if there are even Nascent Soul stage monks in Dahe Guizong, and you suddenly told me that there is a fairy coming to accept disciples. Isn't it rubbing people's IQ on the ground?

Just when he was about to ask, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered the two casual cultivators he saw in the forest of Luohe Village, and the words he was about to say changed accordingly: "It's so, senior Ouyang, do you know who that immortal is?" Came from a fairy mountain?"

Probably because he didn't expect Lin Xiu to ask such a question, Ouyang Feng paused for a moment before he was a little confused: "I've never heard of this, but since he is a fairy, he must have come down from the fairy mountain."

Well, it's not clear but at least it's not what I thought it was.

Thinking back to the escort mission of Yangyan Pill, the person that the senior sister wanted to gift happened to be in the vicinity of Shengxuan City, so Lin Xiu simply followed this group of people along the way.

……

night.

In order to get to Shengxuan City as soon as possible, although they didn't show it directly, everyone in this team, including Ouyang Feng, rushed on the road with a sigh of relief, and found a place nearby to start a fire and rest until it was completely dark.

When Lin Xiu imitated these young heroes and took out dry food from the bag (Qian Kun bag) to prepare for eating, Ouyang Feng took his nephew away for a distance, talking in a low voice while guarding against possible dangers around.

"Uncle, what do you think of that Iron Sword Gate?"

"There are many sects in the martial arts world of Chongguo. I don't know how many people died day and night. It is normal for a Tiejianmen to have never heard of it."

"Uncle, you know I don't mean that... dare to go on the road alone, if it's not for the fact that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or knows how to live and die, what kind of person does Uncle think he is?"

"I don't care who he is, I just know that he might be favored by the immortals, if that's the case, maybe our uncle and nephew will be able to rely on him to make a fortune, which is why we took these people to Xuancheng. "

Speaking of this, Ouyang Feng's tone slowed down a little: "Ke'er, I know what you're thinking, but I just think that with fewer competitors, there will be more chances of being favored by that immortal. Your uncle and I have the ability to take care of you." All these people stayed, but don't you think about how many people in the whole Chongguo came here for this opportunity, can they kill 200 people, 2000 people, or even [-] people? It's better to form more good relationships If you cast the net widely, you may not be able to catch the real dragon."

"The rivers and lakes are not only about fighting and killing, but also people's sophistication."

20. The episode of Shengxuan City

After the conversation in the distance ended, Lin Xiu's squinted eyes returned to normal. Relying on the strengthening of the senses with spiritual power, within a distance of [-] meters, it is difficult for ordinary people to avoid the conversations of immortals unless they are blocked by soundproof spells. capture.

Facts have proved that no matter whether it is a cultivator or a mortal, as long as he can climb to a certain position, there is no fool. If there are rumors that the immortal is going to accept apprentices, only a few people know that Ouyang Feng may not have no idea to do it. But after confirming that the spread of the news is unavoidable, Naturally, he would change his approach out of maximizing his interests, instead of foolishly wanting to challenge the entire Chongguo martial arts with his own strength.

That way, not to mention what other fellow martial artists say, it is impossible for the immortal cultivator who is suspected of accepting him as an apprentice to let him go.

Shaking his head, Lin Xiu put this episode aside, while chatting better than nothing to transfer the spiritual power in his body, while waiting for the sunrise.

The next day, the group set off as normal.

Three days later, following the team that had expanded a lot in the past few days, Lin Xiu, who was far away, saw the crowd of people outside the Xuancheng Gate.

"This grand occasion... the capital city is nothing more than that."

Even with Ouyang Feng's experience, he couldn't help expressing emotion when he saw the dense flow of people. This also proved in disguise how much influence the "immortal accepting disciples" had had this time, and how the common people had a great understanding of the concept of "obtaining immortality". The craving is strong.

Relying on the special status of this group of people, Lin Xiu avoided the crowded situation outside the city and entered the city directly from the side, only to find that the inside of the city was not much better than the outside of the city. At least they came here on purpose after hearing about "immortals recruiting disciples" in Qingguo next door, plus local martial arts people from Chongguo, the city was almost full to the brim.

After entering the city, heroes from various sects and sects bid farewell one after another. Unlike those who came here to try their luck, most of those who can enter Ouyang Feng's team are well-established, and more or less have their own stations in Shengxuan City. Naturally There is no need to toss about outside, just go back and recharge your batteries and wait for the day when the "Martial Arts Conference" officially starts.

Ouyang Feng was also well prepared for this, and he didn't stop him but said goodbye one by one. Seeing this scene, Lin Xiu simply said goodbye and left the team. He had learned a lot about what he needed to know in the past three days, and the next step was to find out The old friend of the senior sister sent the Yangyan Pill over, and then had time to take a look at the origin of that "immortal".

As a disciple of He Guizong, although there is no mandatory requirement on the surface, if there are immortal cultivators bluffing and deceiving in the common customs of the southern territory of Xinan, it is inevitable to intervene a little bit.

Of course, Lin Xiu has also done a good job and can't just run away to shake people. It is so confident to have the backing of the sect.

Through the clues given by the senior sister, Lin Xiu first found an inn in the central area of ​​Shengxuan City. After taking out the token, the impatient waiter almost didn't kneel down on the spot. Lin Xiu, who was afraid of causing a commotion, could only do it alone. He picked him up and took him to the backyard. Only in the latter's trembling confession did he know that the old friend of the senior sister had moved: from outside the city to inside the city.

"Senior Sister knows about this...forget it, just give me the address."

Seeing the terrified expression of the waiter, Lin Xiu took the address and turned away without thinking too much.

However, Lin Xiu, who arrived at the destination, quickly discovered something was wrong.

"Hiss... am I late?"

Following the route provided by the waiter, what Lin Xiu saw was an unexpected scene when he found the old friend's new house of the senior sister.

In the city of Shengxuan, where every inch of gold is every inch of land, a vast manor is densely packed with armored soldiers, whose ferocious appearance makes pedestrians avoid them.

In Lin Xiu's eyes, it seemed that some horrific murder case happened inside, and the government took a blockade to preserve traces and evidence.

While thinking about how to sneak in to find out the life and death situation of that senior sister's old friend, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Shaoxia Lin?"

Looking back, he saw an old acquaintance, Ouyang Feng who had just separated and his nephew Ouyang Ke.

"Senior Ouyang."

Walking to Lin Xiu's side, Ouyang Feng looked towards the manor surrounded and blocked by soldiers, with a look of emotion on his face: "It is indeed the place where immortals live, even in this noisy and busy city, there is still a clean place."

Lin Xiu, who was thinking about how to ask the inside story of the "murder case" from this senior Ouyang, was immediately stunned.

"Immortal residence?"

"Young Xia Lin doesn't know?"
