Chapter 720 Encounter
There was a roar of people.
This was Chen Luo's first impression of Qingyan City.
Under the leadership of the Zhang brothers, Chen Luo easily passed through the gate of Qingyan City.
The streets in the city are full of pedestrians, vendors setting up stalls, jugglers, and people selling monster cubs. There is no difference from the ordinary city. The only difference is that he has changed from a mortal to an immortal cultivator.
From time to time, an expert riding a horse would pass by on the street.
Pedestrians on the street will subconsciously avoid them when meeting these people. There are also some people in uniform clothes who no one messes with. According to the Zhang brothers, these people are all powerful and have backgrounds.
There is no shame in giving in.
Chen Luo followed the two brothers and scanned the situation in the city with his spiritual consciousness. Most of the immortal cultivators in Qingyan City were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and there were also many at the Core Formation Realm. He only saw two at the Nascent Soul Realm. As for the realm of transformation into gods, I haven’t sensed it yet. There are many ancient restricted areas in this Qingyan City, and he failed to see through more than a dozen places.
The scale of this city is very large.
There are a lot of things to buy, and Chen Luo plans to settle here first.
He needs time to understand the practice here before he can investigate the traces of the Silent Taoist. The 'Tao' of the Qionghua Sect must be taken back. There is no reason why things that fly into the bowl should flow out.
After the three of them crossed the main street, the Zhang brothers said goodbye to Chen Luo.
They have to turn in the assignment.
Only 'nominal disciples' can enter the area inside. Chen Luo nodded and waited at the door. This was the condition he had agreed with the Zhang brothers to protect them for a while after entering the city. In return, the two brothers will serve Chen Luo wholeheartedly and help him solve everything related to his identity, residence and errands.
"This kind of thing can also be sold for money."
Chen Luo played with a slender identity card in his hand.
This is Qingyan City's temporary identity card, a low-grade spiritual stone for one day. According to the prices here, it is indeed not cheap.
‘The time-reverse ban, the thirty-two bans, can be broken using the easy number method. ’
A brain proficient in prohibitions quickly emerged from the external brain, and it was able to see through the prohibitions in the token with just one glance. This kind of cheap identity token uses restrictions that are refined in batches, so it is naturally impossible to deceive a restriction master like him.
His consciousness penetrated the token, and Chen Luo clearly saw the thirty-two prohibitions crisscrossing it.
The bottom one has disappeared, and the second vertical one is also fading. When all the thirty-two restraints inside disappear, this token will be scrapped. At that time, Qingyan City's formation will lock him, and then law enforcement disciples will come and expel him.
"Change it for a hundred years first."
Picking up the token, the spiritual power between the index fingers seeped into it.
The order of the thirty-two restraints was adjusted and rewritten by him, and the relationship with the formation above was also adjusted. When he took his right hand away, the restrictions inside the token had turned into dark gold. Although there were still thirty-two of them, there were no signs of disappearing. He also cut off the induction of the token by the formation above.
Arrays and restrictions.
He happens to know a little bit about it all.
Maybe the cultivator who made the tokens in Qingyan City didn't expect that the tokens he casually refined would be modified by a big shot like Chen Luo.
"Senior, the task was delivered. I earned a total of twelve high-grade spiritual stones."
Zhang Shi took the spirit stones and took out ten of them and handed them to Chen Luo.
He knew that Chen Luo was not short of spiritual stones, but his attitude must be shown. This was the experience gained by their brothers in the world of immortality. If it hadn't been for Chen Luo's appearance this time, the two brothers would not have been able to hand over the task so easily.
As expected, the old immortal Elder Qu took advantage of it and never showed up from the beginning to the end.
Chen Luo's appearance was a great help to their brothers.
The sworn enemy would never dare to take action before he investigated Chen Luo's origins.
"Let's rent a yard first."
Chen Luo nodded approvingly and asked Zhang Shi to take these spiritual stones to rent a yard for him.
The jurisdiction of Qingyan City is very strict, and only local cultivators like the Zhang brothers are eligible to rent the courtyard. This was also to prevent others from sneaking into the city to destroy it. The founder of Qingyanfang City had thought about this loophole from the beginning.
"good."
Zhang Shi responded immediately.
The two brothers didn't talk nonsense, turned around and walked towards the block where the yard was rented. The price of renting a courtyard is not high, and ten high-grade spiritual stones are enough to rent it for half a year.
The group of three people crossed the main street and arrived at the rental area on East Street.
There is a three-story pavilion here.
The furnishings in the pavilion are very simple. Apart from a counter, there are only two bookshelves. There was a chair in the middle of the room, and there was a small fruit plate on the table next to it, with a few remaining fruit stones in it.
An old man with a sallow complexion was lying on a chair with his eyes closed and dozing off.
Hearing the sound of entering the door, the old man stopped shaking his chair and opened his eyes to take a look.
An invisible ripple spread over.
The vitality of heaven and earth in the room was suppressed, causing the faces of the Zhang brothers at the door to turn pale. Chen Luo stopped and looked at the old man in front of him.
The alchemy monk.
In a place like Qingyan City, Danjie monks can definitely be considered strong. Ninety-nine percent of the foundation monks in the city will bow their heads honestly when they meet Danjie monks.
"Elder Qu."
The two brothers bowed their heads respectfully.
Is this person Elder Qu?
As early as on the flying boat, Chen Luo heard the Zhang brothers mention this person, but he didn't expect to meet him so soon. Elder Qu's ways are really wild. In addition to the Gujian Sect mission market, he also manages the house rentals in Qingyan City.
"This matter ends here. Huang Xie has already come to see me. As an elder, I can't be too biased towards you."
The old man closed his eyes again.
He had just checked that the helpers recruited by the Zhang brothers were all alchemy monks like him.
As long as he is still in the Dan Formation realm, he is not afraid.
As the 'nominal deacon' of Qingyan City, Elder Qu is still very confident in his own strength. He dare not say that one of the casual cultivators of the same realm is worth ten, but there is still no problem in beating three or five. The skills and accumulation are not on the same level, so there is no need to pay too much attention to them.
"clear."
The Zhang brothers immediately nodded in agreement. Zhang Chen glanced at Chen Luo strangely. In their perception, Chen Luo just ignored Elder Qu's temptation just now and was standing by the wall reading books.
Elder Qu actually didn't get angry at this behavior that was close to provocation.
"Then go down."
"We want to rent a yard"
"Go to Wang An next door and put the spirit stone in its usual place."
Elder Qu didn't even raise his eyelids this time and continued to rock the bamboo chair.
"Let's go."
After reading through the bamboo slips, Chen Luo said something. The Zhang brothers subconsciously glanced at the sleeping elder Qu over there, wondering why this elder was in such a good temper today.
What the two of them didn't know was that in Elder Qu's perception, Chen Luo had bowed his head and stood aside from the moment he entered the door. His obedient look made him look like a casual cultivator who was easily tamed. Because of this, he was so easy to talk to and never made things difficult for them from beginning to end.
After leaving the house, the Zhang brothers rented a small courtyard on East Street from another foundation-building monk named Wang An.
The price/performance ratio is very high.
It is the area with the strongest aura in the East District.
"Thank you."
Zhang Shi thanked him.
Wang An said no need with a smile on his face, and personally sent the three of them out of the gate.
Taking the rented courtyard token, the three of them came to the northernmost courtyard. From the outside, the courtyard is very nicely decorated, with mountains and water, and an elegant environment.
squeak
Before Chen Luo could enter, the door to the courtyard opposite was suddenly pushed open. A purple-robed monk with a stern face came out of it. When the Zhang brothers saw this man, they subconsciously lowered their heads.
Zhang Shi secretly tugged on the corner of Chen Luo's clothes, trying to get him to move away as well.
The two brothers knew this man!
It is none other than the ancestor of Nascent Soul who joined Qingyan City a year ago—Zhenjun Ziji! It is said that this person has a moody personality and a weird temper. Everyone in the city will subconsciously get out of the way when they meet this person, for fear of offending this person and suffering unreasonable disaster.
‘Why does a character like Zhenjun Ziji live in the East District? ’ The two brothers were extremely regretful. No wonder the guy who rented the courtyard to them before smiled so happily. It turned out that he was waiting for them here.
That kid must be from Huang Xie!
Chen Luo stood still, with a smile on his face.
He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so soon. The stern-faced purple-robed man opposite also noticed the three people here and glanced over.
The Zhang brothers' hearts slowed down a beat.
It’s over!
This is True Lord Nascent Soul! !
"Headmaster!?"
The man in purple robe opposite was also stunned. His eyes widened and his voice was trembling.
Three years!
Although the difference was only one day, he had been in this place for three full years.
No one knows how he spent these three years.
When he first came over from ancient times, his cultivation was suppressed by the outside world, and at most he could only display the strength of the pill formation realm. Unlike Chen Luo, Zi Tianji woke up inside a spiritual mine. When he woke up, two major sects outside were fighting over the ownership of the spiritual mine, and even the Yuanying monks were killed.
When he walked out of the spiritual mine, the scene was quiet for a moment.
What followed was a three-year hunt.
He was unable to use his cultivation after returning to the void, and was hunted down by the Nascent Soul Ancestors of the two sects. He had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. All he had to do was kneel down and kowtow to others. All the talismans and magic weapons stored in the storage bag were wasted on those two people.
It wasn't until a year ago that his body slowly adapted to the environment here, and coupled with the knowledge of the monks who returned to the void, he slowly restored his cultivation to the Nascent Soul realm and escaped from the two enemies. After that, he encountered several disasters. Finally, as a last resort, he took refuge in Qingyanfang City under the alias Ziji Patriarch. He was able to gain a firm foothold by borrowing the name of the master of the city, the god-transformation monk.
