Chapter 626: Sneaking Into the City

The three of them ended their retreat and set out on the road to Yanjing City again.

At this time, there was no sea boat to travel, so Lu Yu became a burden. Fortunately, Ye Weilan and Liu Hongxu were both extremely powerful people. The two of them took turns to take him on the road, and the speed was also very fast.

On the second day, when they checked in a small town, Liu Hongxu finally couldn't suppress his inner desire and asked Lu Yu: "Master, can Hongxu also use your force field to improve his strength like Miss Wei'er?"

Lu Yu thought about it seriously and said: "I'm afraid it's not possible. When Wei'er and I met, she didn't learn any skills. She almost completely relied on instinct to control her own strength. Her skills were tailored for her later by me. It can be said that they are of the same origin as mine, so we can fit each other..."

"But your body has already formed a golden elixir, and the Taoism is stable. It will be very difficult to readjust the golden elixir system to make it fit with my skills..."

"In addition , and more importantly, Wei'er was born in the Yehua clan of Dakong Mountain. Their clan has a very powerful innate instinct called "spiritual synchronization". It is this innate instinct that enables her to grasp the force field support I provide and exert the powerful force you see..."

"I have tried many times. Even though my spiritual power is obviously much stronger than hers, I can't achieve the level of her so-called "spiritual synchronization". Therefore, this can only be said to be a unique talent of their clan..."

"So, if I want to provide force field support for more people, I am afraid I need to do further research and exploration..."

Liu Hongxu couldn't help but hide the disappointment in her eyes.

She thought about it and said, "What if I practiced the master's set of body tempering methods and became the master's qualified furnace tripod?"

Lu Yu's eyelids jumped suddenly, thinking what she was going to do? Could it be that she wanted to bring up the old things again and offer herself voluntarily?

However, he still answered truthfully: "If I can break the curse on my body and reuse the true energy in my body, under the mobilization of the skills, I can indeed make the 'force field' bring more flexible changes, but whether it can be compatible with your Jindan Taoism is still an unknown."

Liu Hongxu frowned slightly and remained silent.

Lu Yu glanced at her and said, "You don't have to rush. At first, I was suffering from a lack of ideas, so I had no choice but to think of using the Yin-Yang method to break the curse on my body. This method is quite selfish and has some damage to the female body's cultivation..."

"Now that my thoughts have been opened, I suddenly have a new idea these days. Maybe there will be a way to break it without damaging the female body at all, and it is not necessary to complete the union of men and women... But this idea is not mature yet. I will tell you when I perfect it. At that time, I will still need your help..."

Liu Hongxu looked up at him with watery eyes: "But, what if I am willing to sacrifice a few years of Taoism for my master?"

Lu Yu's heart suddenly beat wildly, but his face was calm: "What nonsense, it is not easy to practice, especially at your level... What's more, your bloodline was taken away not long ago, and it took a lot of effort to adjust it. Any loss at this time will make things worse. You are willing, but I am not!"

Liu Hongxu was not moved at all.

She looked straight into Lu Yu's eyes, her eyes revealed determination and persistence, as if there was a blazing fire burning in them.

"Just wait and see, I will definitely refine that set of body tempering methods... Don't worry, I won't do it recklessly. Isn't it said that 'If you want to refine the mysterious body, you must refine your heart'? I will think of other ways to complete the step of 'refining the heart'!"

After saying that, she turned around and left Lu Yu's room.

Lu Yu stood there, stunned.

Through the look just now, he saw Liu Hongxu's pride and stubbornness.

I'm afraid even Liu Hongxu herself didn't realize that as her power reawakened, she gradually returned to the mentality of a strong person as the Queen of Forget Worry.

This is not a bad thing...

From Lu Yu's point of view, a depressed and submissive queen follower has no practical benefits. On the contrary, a strong cultivator who is determined to make progress and forge ahead will help him more.

"As expected of Her Majesty the Queen..."

Finally, Lu Yu smacked his lips and closed the door of the room.

...

The next morning, the three of them had a simple breakfast in the hotel.

Then, under the envious eyes of the hotel staff and other guests, Lu Yu enjoyed the careful service of the two charming beauties and set out on the road again.

At noon, the three of them entered a desert area. Although the entire Haixi area is mainly dominated by the desert terrain, the desert in this area is particularly desolate and vast, with yellow sand all over the sky.

The three of them traveled hundreds of miles in the yellow sand and never saw any human habitation. Just when the three of them couldn't help wondering if they had gone in the wrong direction, suddenly a golden city came into their eyes.

"Is this a hexagonal crystal diamond? The whole city is actually inlaid with hexagonal crystal diamonds?"

Ye Weilan said in amazement. Her cultivation became more and more profound, and her eyesight became more and more amazing. Even from a distance, she could see the external structure of the city in the distance.

In fact, she didn't know what a hexagonal crystal diamond was before. It was only at the auction in Hailan City that she opened her eyes and knew about this extremely rare and precious material, and she knew it was worth a lot.

However, such a precious material was actually used to inlay the outer wall of the city?

Even though this has greatly enhanced the city's defense capabilities, it still seems a bit too extravagant...

"Even in the entire Haixi area, the Long family is very famous for its wealth and power. They control countless mines, and there are dozens of mines that produce high-quality molten crystals alone. This is far from comparable to our original Wangyou Country..."

Liu Hongxu's tone was a little emotional. After a pause, he continued: "However, the reason why they are so extravagant may be related to the history of the Long family..."

"I heard that a long time ago, the Long family was enslaved by a very powerful enemy and lived a miserable life. Although they finally got rid of the entanglement of that powerful enemy, they had a sense of crisis from then on. Therefore, they spent a lot of money to build such a city, just to avoid repeating the same mistakes..."

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel moved.

The so-called powerful enemy, isn't it the evil dragon that was killed by Yudie Zhenren that year? I didn't expect that there would be such a causal relationship between them...

Ye Weilan nodded in understanding, turned her head and looked at Lu Yu: "It seems that your friend is really powerful!"

Lu Yu spread his hands and sighed: "Now I'm not sure whether they are still my friends..."

The three continued to move forward.

The outline of the city gradually enlarged, and the three people also felt more and more the coldness and majesty of this majestic city under the golden light.

Ye Weilan suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Yu: "Have you thought about what to do? Such a city, I'm afraid it's not easy to get in casually..."

Lu Yu looked at the cold light of the majestic city in front of him and had to agree with her opinion.

The outer wall inlaid with hexagonal crystal diamonds will clearly and accurately feedback all abnormal conditions around to the mind of the formation main body in the city. Under such defense, it is impossible for a fly to get in.

Furthermore, this city was built by the Long family after they got rid of the slavery of the evil dragon. It is very likely that it has enough defense to resist the dragon. It must be said that this city has achieved the ultimate defense.

However, this raises a question. With such a defensive capability, why did the Long family undergo a 360-degree major change?

"Let's sneak into the city first and find out the specific situation of the Long family..." As he said this, Lu Yu suddenly looked at Liu Hongxu beside him: "Did Wangyou Kingdom and Yanjing City have business dealings?"

Liu Hongxu was stunned, thought for a while and said: "Yes... When they mine high-quality molten crystals, they need to use a material called Huayun Crystal to clean the raw ore to improve the quality of the molten crystal... But the amount used is very small, it is not an important business. At that time, a steward from their family went to Tuoshan to discuss it, and I didn't even meet him..."

"It's best if we don't meet!"

Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Let's sneak in as the royal merchants of Wangyou Kingdom to meet the steward in charge of procurement of the Long family and inform him that the price of Huayun Crystal is going to increase!"

Liu Hongxu couldn't help but be stunned. Wangyou Kingdom no longer exists. Can this still scare people?

But if she insisted on doing so, she naturally had no objection.

So, the three of them did what they said, and immediately stopped halfway, disguised themselves, and transformed themselves into the royal merchants of Wangyou Country.

Then the three of them gave up continuing to use their skills, and walked to the front of Yanjing City in a dusty manner, just like other merchants who came from afar.

With Liu Hongxu, the former Queen of Wangyou, in charge, it was naturally no problem to pretend to be her merchants. The three of them passed the interrogation of the guards at the city gate and successfully entered Yanjing City.

The three of them walked around the city. On the surface, the atmosphere in the city seemed to be normal, and there was no sign of any major changes.

However, since Yanjing City is the private property of the Long family, the management is quite strict. All sensitive places are guarded by special people, and outsiders cannot approach at all, so the external performance does not explain any problems.

So, Lu Yu thought about it, and the three of them went directly to the gate of the Long family's mansion, and as the royal merchants of Wangyou Country, they asked to meet the Long family's purchasing manager to discuss the supply of Huayunjing.

Unexpectedly, the Wangyou Kingdom's Royal Merchants' signboard was really useful, and they were immediately received by the Long family.

However, the manager in charge of purchasing seemed to be not very interested, and he walked in while cursing and complaining.

"Royal Merchant of Wangyou Country? Bullshit Royal Merchant of Wangyou Country! Tuoshan has been taken back by Venerable Xifeng. It is said that even Queen Wangyou was sold to Hailan City and became someone else's plaything. How can there be any Royal Merchant of Wangyou Country?"

"Master Bing, please keep your voice down, lest the guests hear you..."

"Hear you? So what? A phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken. Wangyou Country is no longer what it used to be. What can they do to me? You guys, don't get nervous when you hear the word "Royal Merchant". Aren't there enough Royal Merchants cooperating with our Long family..."

Along with the voice, a pot-bellied Dragon man walked into the reception room.

Originally, he looked reluctant, but when he saw Liu Hongxu and Ye Weilan in the room, his eyes lit up and he smiled obscenely.

"I didn't expect that the Royal Merchant of Wangyou Country would be such a beauty..."

"Two beauties, Wangyou Country is already finished, why bother to be Royal Merchants? Why don't you stay in Yanjing City and work for our Long Family? It just so happens that our Long Family is in need of people, and I, Master Bing, will definitely arrange a good job for you!"
