Chapter 849: The Mysterious Shopkeeper
Whoosh!
A jade tablet flew out from below, passed through the restriction and flew directly towards Xiao Chen, stretched out his hand to grab it, Xiao Chen held it in the palm of his hand, and passed through the restriction unimpeded.
The girl was very curious when she saw Xiao Chen wearing a black cloak, her big eyes stared at Xiao Chen non-stop.
In the shop in the courtyard, a lazy voice came from, saying: "Young girl, don't be distracted, and continue to practice the sword."
The girl giggled and made a grimace, obviously not afraid of the people who spoke inside, but she still practiced the knife honestly.
What the girl held in her hand was not a real knife, but a piece of knife carved from bamboo and wood. It looked decent when she played it, but it was full of flaws.
Xiao Chen saw this scene and smiled slightly. In the deep starry sky, he was able to see such a leisurely scene, which made people feel calm for no reason.
Lifting his feet and stepping forward, Xiao Chen came to the inside of the store. There were a bunch of new and old "sundries" on the shelves, apparently no one had touched them for a long time.
Behind the counter was a middle-aged man with a big beard. The man had a shocking scar on his face and two thick eyebrows. I could see the corners and sharpness of the past.
The appearance of the whole person is very good to tell the word fierce, but at this moment, with a small teapot in his right hand and a book in his hand, he looks very gentle.
In Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness, the hazy wrinkle formed by 90% of the knife intent suddenly trembled, as if he had seen something terrible.
The owner of the inn raised his head and let out a slight snort, then grinned and said, "It's so luxuriant, there is a young peerless evildoer here, and he's a pretty good swordsman."
In the words, there is no surprise that ordinary people see when they see a genius, but more of a kind of ridicule and joke, a kind of indifference that is used to the world of mortals.
Xiao Chen secretly dreaded, this person is not simple, not only has unfathomable cultivation, but also a very strong swordsman.
"Senior, is there a star chart for sale here?" Under the hood, Xiao Chen said.
Talking about business, the owner of the inn put down the ancient book in his hand and tried to cheer himself up, but he still had a lazy taste, "Star map, what range and level of star map do you want? Different levels have different prices. "
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said, "Just order the most common one.
"
"That's the original grade, one hundred thousand star coins, the same price."
The owner of the inn threw a jade slip, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to catch it, his spiritual consciousness entered it, and suddenly a three-dimensional map of the vast starry sky appeared in his mind.
On the star map, all the major post stations are marked. There are sects stationed in the stars, and they will be specially marked with words. Dangerous places will be explained with colors, and there are even simple text explanations.
For unknown forbidden places, a simple question mark is placed, which is much more detailed than the star map that Xiao Chen had seen before.
After a while, Xiao Chen found the place where Haotian Star was located, and in his mind, he quickly sketched out a route from here to Haotian Star.
Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness withdrew?? came out, with a hint of joy on his face, he readily paid 100,000 star coins, and prepared to leave.
The owner of the inn stopped him and said, "Young man, you still have something you haven't given me."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a while, then remembered that the other party had thrown a jade token at first, thought about it, and didn't rush to hand it back, and said: "I see that the station of the senior is not marked in the star map. , senior took this jade tablet away, it will not be easy to find this place in the future."
The owner of the inn smiled and said, "It's a small place, and it's only doing business with some friends. If it wasn't because you are young and a swordsman, you wouldn't be let in."
Xiao Chen wanted to make friends with this person, wanted to keep the jade card in his hand, and thought about how to speak.
"Xiao Chen, most of the starry sky stations run by these individuals were once well-known figures in the sky world. Tired of fighting and killing in the world of warriors, they retreated to the starry sky and completely settled the grievances and grievances of the world. disturb."
In the fairy ring, Ao Jiao said softly.
Xiao Chen couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the words, it was a pity that he finally met a real swordsman and strong man, so he just missed him.
"I'm being abrupt, sorry to bother you."
Xiao Chen was also refreshing, after hearing Ao Jiao's explanation, he didn't say much, and handed over the jade plaque directly.
The owner of the inn smiled slightly, took the jade token, and said: "It's pretty easy to see, I know what you're thinking, if you can drift away from here next time, we will be truly destined, and then we can have a good chat .”
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and left the place.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen's back and sighed softly: "It's been a few years since he was born, yet Kunlun has produced such a young leader."
Shaking his head, the host of the inn picked up the teapot, leaned on the recliner and continued to read.
With the guidance of the star map, Xiao Chen galloped in the starry sky on the Longmen battleship, and felt much happier.
Half a month later, they successfully landed on Haotian Star and came to the star base of Haotian School. The elders undoubtedly did not look overjoyed when they saw Xiao Chen's real body.
Especially Shui Lingling, although she got Xiao Chen's voice transmission, knowing his safety and seeing the real person, she was completely relieved.
When all the elders dispersed and only Shui Lingling and Great Elder Han Qinghe were left, Xiao Chen revealed his purpose.
"What, you want to return to the sky at this critical moment, I heard it right." Han Qinghe, who was always calm, was extremely surprised when he heard it, and he couldn't accept it.
Shui Lingling also had a puzzled expression on her face, and said: "Junior brother, why is this, now is the beginning of the prosperous age, and the various ancient and strange places will appear again and again, with endless adventures, any genius of the younger generation will not If you let go of this opportunity, why would you think of going back to the sky?"
Han Qinghe went on to say: "Besides, the spiritual energy in the sky is thin. With your luck and talent, it would be a waste of time to go there. If you are left behind by other geniuses, it will be difficult to catch up."
Xiao Chen already had a decision in his heart, and said calmly: "I know what you said, but the cultivation method I am practicing now has reached a critical moment, and there are unfinished worries in the sky world.
"Furthermore, I really want to meet some old people in the sky world. This trip must be returned, otherwise the regret in my heart will remain forever."
The eldest elder Han Qinghe and the elder sister Shui Lingling tried every means to dissuade them, but Xiao Chen had already made up his mind to go and was unmoved.
Han Qinghe shook his head helplessly, and said: "Forget it, you are so determined, I don't have much to say. But everything has to be business-like, and I want to use Haotianzong's teleportation array to carry out plane teleportation."
"The elders of the inner sect can use it for free once in ten years, and those who are the deputy suzerain level of the great elders can teleport it at will. With your seniority, you still can't enjoy these things. Xiao Chen, you understand this."
Xiao Chen nodded, expressing his understanding that there are not a few star cores consumed by plane transfer, and all of them are top-grade star cores. Naturally, the resources of the sect cannot be wasted in vain.
"Okay, sending back and forth twice will cost five million star coins in total. This is the biggest discount for you." Han Qinghe said in a deep voice.
A teleportation needs to consume at least 50 high-grade star cores. Elder Han only gave this condition, which is indeed very face-saving.
Shui Lingling wanted to save her life, and said: "Junior Brother, I think it will be very difficult for you to come back within a year. One year is enough to change a lot of things."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Great Elder, and senior sister for staying. It's just that my situation is really special. I don't understand it, but it's a catastrophe. For me, this is a practice, and it doesn't matter where I am. .”
"Hehe, I'm so puzzled, I can't help it, this time I'll give you a ride!"
In the void, a hearty voice suddenly sounded, Elder Han and Shui Lingling heard the words changed, and the suzerain unexpectedly came.
Ripples in the space swayed like water, a gap was opened, and the figure of Emperor Haotian came out little by little.
Emperor Haotian smiled lightly, landed on the ground, and said gently: "Qinghe, Lingling, you really don't have to worry about Xiao Chen, he will have his own opportunity when he goes back this time."
Turning his eyes, Emperor Haotian stared at Xiao Chen. For a moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have seen through every piece of flesh and blood of Xiao Chen's whole body, internal organs and six internal organs.
"Although I don't know what kind of exercise you practice, but the bottleneck of this exercise should have troubled you for a long time."
Before Zi Lei Jue came to Kunlun, he had already reached the sixth floor. Now more than two years have passed, but he is still stuck on the sixth floor. The speed of Xiao Chen's cultivation has been affected invisibly.
Emperor Haotian, with sharp eyes, can see it at a glance.
Xiao Chen told the truth that there is not much to hide from Emperor Haotian, "Well, it has been more than two years, this bottleneck has to overcome two levels of calamity, the external thunder tribulation and the inner heart tribulation, to be honest I I don’t even know how to get through it myself.”
Han Qinghe and Shui Lingling looked at each other in blank dismay, a little puzzled.
Lei Jie has heard that the Great Heaven is the Martial Emperor, and he has to go through nine stages of thunder calamity to become a king.
But what is Xinjie, I have never heard of it.
What kind of kung fu practiced by Xiao Chen, could it be more terrifying than the kung fu that the shoe has surpassed the heavenly level.
Emperor Haotian suddenly said: "Xiao Chen, when someone planted a ray of secrets on you, it must be quite difficult for you to come back this way."
Xiao Chen organized his language and told what happened.
"People from the Yinyi sect? I'll help you erase this ray of secrets first, and then I'll find these old guys to settle accounts. Knowing that you are from my Clear Sky School, if you dare to do this, it will really turn the world upside down."
A killing intent flashed in Emperor Haotian's eyes, and in the depths of his pupils, there were endless clouds, tumbling endlessly, and circles of halos flickered in them, deriving the general trend of Haotian.
Reaching out to erase the secret planted in Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Sovereign, those three people don't know my identity, and I have no intention of erasing this secret."
