I am a dead man, why should fairies die for me?

If you think about it carefully, it seems to have been like this when you were on the plains.

After wandering around the city for about an hour, under Gu Xixian's suggestion, the two decided to start from a restaurant and find a way to get some information. Otherwise, although there was no danger for the time being, they would be too passive.

This restaurant has two floors, and business seems to be good. The first floor is full of monsters. The wine they drink is thick blood, and the food they eat is rotten meat.

When Fang Ling and the two came in, many monsters glanced at them and then looked away.

Fang Ling and Gu Xixian walked up to the second floor silently.

There are obviously much fewer monsters on the second floor, and there are many empty seats. However, the auras of the monsters above are more dangerous. Fang Ling has already detected the auras of at least three Tongxu realm monsters.

They were eating the same carrion and didn't care at all about the arrival of Fang Ling and Gu Xixian.

Fang Ling and his master looked at each other, and then sat down on an empty seat. Soon, a black-haired crow flew to their table, tilting its head and looking at the two of them with faint eyes.

A moment of silence.

Gu Xixian said slowly: "We are people who entered this place by mistake. We want to know how to get out of here, or what price we have to pay?"

The crow didn't respond.

Just when Fang Ling thought that the communication was ineffective, he saw the crow staring at him, mouthing human words, with a cold tone and no fluctuations, "The price is all your blood and essence."

Chapter 89 Inn, price

Fang Ling narrowed his eyes and stared at the incomprehensible crow without saying a word.

The atmosphere was a little dignified.

At the cost of his whole body's essence and blood, it would be better to directly ask for Fang Ling's life. Crow's condition was unexpected but reasonable. After the Yin-Yang Mirror incident, Fang Ling also vaguely understood that his essence and blood were in After changing his physique, like Lin Jindao's blood essence, it may have special uses.

Gu Xixian smiled slightly, "We can't agree to this condition. If we want to know the general news about this city, what price will it cost?"

As a result, the crow disappeared without any intention of answering.

When Gu Xixian saw this, he was not disappointed and said softly: "Let's go."

Fang Ling nodded and followed his master down to the second floor.

After leaving the restaurant, Gu Xixian looked back and chuckled: "The harvest is good. There is indeed a way to leave the empty land. The monster's request is too harsh and we can't agree to it. But the city There are so many monsters inside, it’s impossible that only that monster knows how to leave, and we still have a chance.”

"Besides, for some unknown reason, the monsters in the city have no ill intentions toward us. We can stay here temporarily and slowly collect information."

Of course, Fang Ling had no objection. After staying in this empty place for so long, he finally saw the hope of leaving, so naturally he wouldn't mind spending a little more time.

Maybe at the same time, we can also get some secrets about the Empty Land. The Empty Land is mysterious and strange. Even the Venerable Jiang Yan has been here and left his life magic weapon behind. Obviously, there is something hidden in the sky. Big cause and effect, and this cause and effect should only be known by those venerables.

Since you want to stay temporarily, you naturally need a place to stay. The many inns in the city are naturally your first choice.

What's a little strange is that along the way, there are many inns in this city. There happens to be an inn next to the restaurant called "Laifu". If you ignore a certain monster walking into it, this and There is no difference at all between worldly inns.

Fang Ling and Gu Xixian walked in behind the monster. This monster was an eagle monster. It was originally huge, but when it entered the inn, it shrank to the size of a normal human. Its hair was gray and silver. Upon closer inspection, The hair on the body exuded a cold light, and it was clearly a blade made of a special material.

At present, there are only two of them and one monster on the first floor of the inn, and there should be a... jet black gourd on the counter. It has facial features and limbs, an old face, and two very long... His white eyebrows fell on the counter.

Is this the gourd becoming a spirit?

Even though Fang Ling was used to seeing all kinds of monsters just now, he was still slightly stunned.

The hawk demon walked to the counter and spit out a blue bead. The old man of Calabash took off his head, put the bead in, took out a jade plaque, and finally put the head back on.

After the hawk demon sucked the jade token into his mouth, he walked directly to the second floor of the inn.

Now it's Fang Ling and Gu Xixian's turn. They already understand that in this city, no matter what you want, you need to come up with the corresponding thing in exchange.

Gu Xixian asked softly: "What price do we need to pay?"

Old Man Calabash looked at Fang Ling, his eyes lifeless.

Fang Ling frowned slightly, could it be that he wanted his blood essence in exchange for it again?

Old Man Calabash spoke slowly, in a slow tone, and said intermittently: "You...have...the same kind of...aura...give me...you guys stay...for a month."

Fang Ling understood instantly, took out the Qi-nourishing gourd from the space ring, and then silently placed it on the counter.

Although this qi-nourishing gourd Fengling is easy to use, I won't be reluctant to part with it, it's just an external possession.

The old man Calabash held the Qi-nourishing gourd in his hand. His long and narrow white eyebrows vividly demonstrated what it meant to smile. The Qi-nourishing gourd kept getting smaller in his hands. Then he opened his head again, took the Qi-nourishing gourd in, and put a piece of jade in it. The card was handed to Fang Ling.

Fang Ling took it and took a closer look. It was engraved with the address of the fifth house.

Old Man Calabash seemed to be in a good mood and said another sentence, "You can't go out at night...the curfew...remember it."

Feang Ling paused and said, "Thank you very much."

But Old Man Calabash didn't reply again.

Fang Ling and Master looked at each other and started to go to the second floor of the inn. They found their room on the fifth floor. From the outside, the inn only had three floors, but they didn't know where the fifth floor came from. But this was just Little things that don't matter.

At the door of the room, Fang Ling took out the jade plaque, and the formation restriction on the door was immediately lifted. Fang Ling opened the door and walked in with Gu Xixian.

It's just a very ordinary room, but through the reminder of the old man with gourd just now, although the room is simple, it obviously represents safety.

Gu Xixian looked around and said softly: "We chose to find an inn to stay, and it seems that we have made the right choice. There should be some kind of danger in this city at night, and a place like this inn can provide shelter and safety, so the city That’s why there are so many inns, and those monsters will choose to stay in them.”

"Your Qi-nurturing gourd can allow us to stay here for a month. We will try to find a way to leave within a month."

Fang Ling nodded. It was almost night now, and the curfew was about to begin. The two of them did not plan to go out again. They would wait until tomorrow to continue to inquire about the news.

I just hope that I don't encounter that kind of monster that wants all the blood and essence from the moment it comes up.

Although there was only one bed in the room, Fang Ling obviously didn't need it. He meditated and practiced, and the night passed without any impact.

"Dong dong."

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

Fang Ling's eyes were wary for a moment, but he still went to open the door. Outside the door, stood a paper figurine. She looked like a woman and had a good appearance, but she was not alive at all, which only made people feel chilled.

This paper man is holding a food box in his hand, which is obviously food prepared by this inn.

The paper man had already handed the food box to Fang Ling.

Fang Ling's eyes flashed slightly, but he still took it.

After that, the paper man turned around and left without any sound of footsteps.

Watching the paper man leave, Fang Ling withdrew his gaze, closed the door, put the food box on the table in the room, and said: "The food in this city is all prepared for monsters, and it is not good for us. It should be useless.”

Moreover, Fang Ling would not touch food in such a weird place casually.

Gu Xixian, however, didn't take it seriously. He had already opened the food box and said with a smile, "You can take a look first."

There were two dishes in the food box, a plate of bloody eyeballs, the size of pearls. Judging from the fresh blood stains, it must have been taken out not long ago. The eyeballs inside were still staring at Fang Ling and Gu Xixian strangely.

Another dish was a bowl of smelly black blood. The temperature of the black blood was extremely high. A wave of heat hit his face and it was still boiling.

Fang Ling frowned, how to eat such a thing?

Chapter 90 Clues, reunion

Gu Xixian stared at the two weird "dishes" in the food box for a while, then said thoughtfully: "Actually, I think these two things are edible and have some special effects."

Fang Ling naturally believed in his master's judgment, but to be on the safe side, he picked up an eyeball and put it directly into his mouth.

The taste was naturally not good, slightly bitter, but the important thing was obviously not the taste. Soon, Fang Ling could clearly feel that... his soul had grown a little stronger!

The Soul Dao, like the Dream Dao, is a mysterious sect with very little inheritance. It is difficult to find monks who major in the Soul Dao in the Ten Continents. This also leads to the fact that except for the ability to strengthen the soul when breaking through the great realm, it is usually very difficult to It is difficult to find other means to enhance the power of the soul.

The importance of the soul to monks is self-evident. It plays a vital role in alchemy, weapon refining, and formations. Not only that, Fang Ling's super perception has a great deal with the power of the soul. Relationship, because the soul and spiritual consciousness are closely related, and the strength of the soul when everyone is born is different, so it will lead to different talents in certain things.

But now this eyeball can actually increase the power of the soul. In the outside world, it will definitely cause monks in the Tongxu Realm to rush for it.

Fang Ling suppressed his emotions and told Gu Xixian what he had discovered.

Gu Xixian murmured: "Although it is not much, it is valuable to increase the power of the soul. The owners of these eyes are probably some monster beasts related to the soul path."

In this empty land, first there were those little guys related to the dream path, and now there are monster beasts related to the soul path, and they are all monster beasts that do not exist in the outside world. In this way, it is easy for people to think of Many possibilities.

Gu Xixian continued: "Let's see what effect this bowl of black blood has."

Fang Ling nodded and picked up the bowl of steaming black blood soup. Although it looked disgusting and tasted unpleasant, after what he had just experienced, he knew it was at least harmless, so he took a sip.

It looked hot, but the taste was just warm. After entering his stomach, Fang Ling swayed, and his aura suddenly rose. He actually exuded the aura of the Tongxu realm, but soon, this aura disappeared without a trace, and Fang Ling Ling's cultivation level has not changed at all.

Fang Ling's eyes were shocked. In his state of mind at that moment, he felt as if he had really broken through to the realm of Tongxu. That feeling truly remained in his heart.

Gu Xixian explained softly: "This seems to allow you to experience the feeling of Tongxu Realm in advance. When you break through later, it will be smoother and there will be no bottlenecks."

Fang Ling had a thought in his mind and asked, "If master drinks it, will he realize the state of mind of returning to unity?"

"It's unlikely, but it's hard to say."

Gu Xixian took the white bowl from Fang Ling's hand, took a sip, felt it for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's really useless."

In fact, it is quite normal. If one can even understand the state of mind of the Guiyi Realm, the value of this bowl of black blood soup would be a little too outrageous.

But even so, the value is not small. Although the Tongxu realm is still far away from Fang Ling, such experience will actually be helpful for him to break through to the late stage of the Purple Fetus realm.

If there is such food every day, the price of a Qi-nurturing gourd is definitely more than enough.

Gu Xixian said thoughtfully: "It seems that this city is really full of treasures, and they are also some things that are extremely difficult for the outside world to find, but they all require a price. When we inquire about information, we might also be able to find something useful to us. "

Fang Ling thought of something and said, "Maybe there will be something that can help Master recover his cultivation."

Gu Xixian paused and smiled: "Even if it does happen, I'm afraid we can't afford the price. Just let nature take its course."

After that, the two of them stayed in the room. After playing chess, Fang Ling began to practice while Gu Xixian read books.

......

Five days passed, and Fang Ling and Gu Xixian would go out to check for news during the day, but the harvest was not great, because most of the monsters, even if they took the initiative to talk, basically ignored Fang Ling and the two.

Some of the monsters that could rarely communicate were not all aware of the news of their departure. In total, they only encountered three monsters who also knew how to leave. However, the price was all paid for by Fang Ling's blood essence, which was non-negotiable.

There was a temporary impasse.

But these five days were not completely fruitless. At least I got some understanding of this city. For example, the essence of this city is obviously an equal-price transaction, and the monsters in the city don't seem to conflict. Once If you change to what you want, you will return to the plains.

At dawn on the sixth day, Fang Ling and Gu Xixian walked out of the room. When they arrived on the first floor of the inn, the old man with gourd was still standing on the counter, motionless and unresponsive.

But the two of them had already reached the counter, and they realized belatedly that they could actually try to get some information from Old Man Calabash.

Fang Ling asked directly: "What is the cost of our method of leaving the Empty Land?"

Old Calabash's eyebrows moved slightly and he said: "I don't know... give me... fire... give you... clues."

fire?

Fang Ling quickly understood and took out the purple spiritual fire. When Old Man Calabash put the spiritual fire into his body, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Fang Ling always felt that the way he looked at him seemed to A little more pleasing to the eye.

Old Man Calabash was obviously only the size of two palms, but he didn't know how he could hold so many things. The things inside should be valuable. Fang Ling suddenly came up with the idea that if he robbed Old Man Calabash, all the things inside him would be lost. Something that even the top Yin-Yang realm monks may not be indifferent to.

"Go to... the middle... bookstore... black... he knows... the price... no blood essence."

Although Old Man Calabash spoke intermittently, Fang Ling and Gu Xixian were able to understand him clearly. After saying thank you, they walked out of the shop.

On the streets outside, there were already many monsters wandering around, not disturbing each other.

Gu Xixian said softly: "If the price really doesn't threaten our lives, then maybe we can leave soon."

Fang Ling nodded and said: "The deal has been established, and Old Man Calabash will not lie."

It was just a try at first, but I didn't expect that I actually got useful information from Old Man Calabash. The price was just a burst of spiritual fire, which was definitely not a loss.

The two of them walked towards the center of the city. There were not many bookstores in the city, and they soon found the only bookstore nearby.

However, when he walked in, just for a moment, Fang Ling's heart was shaken, and he directly put his hand on the master's shoulder, preparing to use the power of space.

Because the ancient bronze coffin is inside the bookstore!

Gu Xixian's expression did not change, and he suddenly said: "Don't be impatient, let's just wait and see what happens."

Fang Ling did not let down his guard and stared at the ancient coffin. He did not forget that he almost died in the hands of this ancient coffin.

But the ancient bronze coffin didn't react. It seemed to be making a deal with the owner of the bookstore.

The owner of the bookstore was wearing a black robe, but under the robe was a strange black mist. His body was actually made of this mist and could not be seen through. The darkness under the black robe was like an abyss, making people unconscious. So immersed in it, Fang Ling just glanced at it for a few times, and his soul became faintly turbulent.

Gu Xixian warned aloud: "Don't look."

Fang Ling's heart froze, he silently recited the Taishang Qingxin Jue, and immediately looked away.

Is this bookstore owner... a monster related to the soul path?

Chapter 91 Selection

Fang Ling did not expect to encounter this ancient bronze coffin again in this city, because he already subconsciously believed that the city was full of monsters, and this ancient coffin had nothing to do with monsters anyway.
