Chapter 118 Heaven and Earth
Chapter 118 Heaven and Earth
In Ducheng Prefecture, Longquan City, in the pavilion in the back garden of the City Lord’s Mansion, Wang Haocang and Zhang Haoyang were playing Tianyuan chess.
"Snap..." Zhang Haoyang, holding the white chess piece in his hand, raised and lowered the chess piece to place it on the star position on the side road.
"Uncle! I have been bothering you for a long time in your house. I plan to return to Guang'an City tomorrow, so I come here today to say goodbye." Zhang Haoyang said respectfully.
“Haha… nephew, why don’t you stay a little longer? I noticed that your relationship with Xuan’er seems to have made some progress recently. Why do you suddenly want to leave?” Wang Haocang placed the black piece in the Tianyuan position and said with a smile.
"I am very grateful for your kindness, uncle, but Miss Jingxuan has someone she loves, and I really can't force her." Zhang Haoyang said with difficulty.
"Father! Senior Brother Zhang!" At this time, a servant led Wang Jingxuan to the pavilion in the back garden, and Wang Jingxuan bowed to the two of them respectively.
“Haha…Xuan’er is here! Come and sit down,” Wang Haocang pointed at the stone bench next to him and said with a smile, and the chess piece in his hand fell again.
"Thank you for your courtesy, Miss Jingxuan!" Zhang Haoyang bowed and returned the greeting with a smile.
"Xuan'er! You seem to be in a bad mood recently. Did something happen? Can you tell your father?" Wang Haocang put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at his daughter.
Wang Jingxuan's temperament has changed drastically since she came back from the trial in the Endless Forest. Her usual lively and willful personality is no longer there. She is often depressed and locks herself in the room to practice, so Wang Haocang is very worried about his daughter.
"Father, it's nothing. Everything is fine with me," Wang Jingxuan said with a forced smile. In fact, she couldn't tell the reason, but she just felt that there was nothing worth being happy about.
"Haha... that's good. In a few days, I plan to take you to Qianyang City to broaden your horizons, my dear nephew! You can go with us. Your father will also go there then, so you don't have to go back to Guang'an City for the time being." Wang Haocang said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoyang naturally knew that Wang Haocang would not lie to him, so he immediately agreed to go to Qianyang City with them. As for why, neither of them asked.
Qianling Prefecture is located in the north of southern Xinjiang. As long as you cross the Beichen River, you can enter the Central Plains area. This prefecture covers an area of 1.7 million square kilometers and is considered to be a relatively large prefecture in southern Xinjiang.
In the teleportation hall in Wudang City, after a golden light flashed across the teleportation array, thousands of cultivators appeared in the middle of the array. Lu Chen followed everyone out of the teleportation hall, cursing.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt cheated, because there was no teleportation array that directly reached Baiyun City from Zhongba City. He even suspected that the cultivator from Tianyuan Pavilion was deliberately deceiving him.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to just place those female cultivators in Wudang City? Why go through the trouble of transporting them to Baiyun City?
However, despite cursing, Lu Chen still inquired about the location of Baiyun City. Fortunately, it was not far from Wudang City. If he flew by sword, he could arrive there in half a day.
But Lu Chen was not in a hurry at this moment, because he knew that even if he rushed to Baiyun City, not only would he alert the enemy, but he might also be besieged by experts. By then, he might not be able to find Zi Xuan, and he would probably be killed as well.
Therefore, Lu Chen planned to take the risk and let the other party capture him. Even if the other party sealed his spiritual power, with his cultivation level in the physical spiritual realm, he could exert combat power equivalent to that of the great perfection of the foundation-building stage.
And according to the fusion-stage monk who was killed by him, they fed the monk a pill called the Forbidden Spirit Pill.
After taking this kind of pill, it can seal the spiritual power of the cultivator. The higher the cultivation level, the shorter the time. However, most of the cultivators they captured were below the Golden Core stage, so the effect of the Soul-Seal Pill was enough.
As the saying goes, a skilled person is a bold one. Lu Chen immediately found a monk dressed as a Taoist priest in Wudang City and bought his tattered Taoist robe.
At first, the Taoist thought that Lu Chen had some kind of hobby and refused to agree. But when Lu Chen threw a medium-grade spirit stone to him, the Taoist took off his Taoist robe in the street, took the spirit stone and ran away, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would go back on his word.
Because cultivators like this are usually independent cultivators who travel around without any ties or background, and they are the best choice for the escorts to capture them.
Baiyun City is located in the southeast of Qianling Prefecture, covering an area of about 23 square kilometers, equivalent to the area of a small county town.
That day, a young Taoist priest came to Baiyun City wearing a tattered Taoist robe, with a handsome appearance and a hint of Jianghu style on his face.
The Taoist priest was holding a two-meter-long Pingjin sail in his left hand, on which was written: "Read your face, know your destiny! Know good and bad fortune!"
He held a broken bell in his right hand and shook it as he walked.
"Ding-ling-ling..." As the bell rang, the shouting began.
"Heaven and earth, I am the best at fortune-telling. I know everything about astronomy and geography.
Hey... Taoist friend, please stay! I see that you are very lucky, and you must be very lucky recently. Would you like me to tell you a fortune? It only takes one medium-grade spirit stone.
Hey... Daoist friend, please don't leave! Otherwise, I'll give you a discount."
The young Taoist stopped a passing cultivator in the early stage of foundation building and said, but the cultivator ignored him completely.
The young Taoist priest was Lu Chen, who came to Baiyun City and was ready to risk his life to find Zixuan. Seeing that the cultivator just now ignored him, he continued to shake the bell and shout loudly.
"Jingle Bell……"
"Walk, walk, walk, swim, swim, you are sick, I have medicine, take it, I guarantee you will get better!
My fellow Taoist, please stay. I see that your forehead is black, and it seems that there is something wrong with your cultivation. I have a pill here. If you take it, I guarantee that your Taoist illness will be cured.
How is it? It only costs one medium-grade spirit stone, isn't it a good deal?"
"You're crazy! You're the one with a black forehead. Your whole family has a black forehead. Get out of here! Otherwise I'll beat you up." The monk who was stopped shouted with an ugly expression.
"Hehe... if you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it! Why are you so angry, fellow Daoist? Can't we all be more harmonious?" Lu Chen smiled awkwardly and directed the aura of the late stage of foundation building at the cultivator alone.
"Uh... hehe... Taoist priest, don't be angry. This elixir is obviously not an ordinary one. Can I buy one? Is it a medium-grade spirit stone?" The cultivator in the early stage of foundation building was shocked by Lu Chen's momentum at first, then his face changed and he smiled awkwardly.
Then he contentedly spent a mid-grade spirit stone to buy Lu Chen's pill.
"Haha... Although I suffered a little loss, the money I spent on buying clothes has been recovered!" Lu Chen said happily as he looked at the middle-grade spirit stone in his hand and the back of the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building as he left.
Lu Chen actually saw that the cultivator had a problem with his cultivation, and it took a long time, and what Lu Chen sold him was a top-grade pill, the Qi-smoothing Pill.
Even if it were sold casually, it would be worth two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. This price was not something that an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building could afford.
However, the surface of the pill had been wrapped by Lu Chen with other black medicinal materials in advance, so it looked a bit ugly and the real pill inside could not be seen.
As for the cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, whether he can enjoy this opportunity depends on his own luck.
