Chapter 122 Dark tide rises in the city
"Xiaolin, why are you here?!"
Looking at the young man in white clothes in front of him, Liu Xiaolu said in surprise.
"I..." Luo Lin obviously didn't expect to meet them here, and he was trying to explain in a panic.
"Silence!" Hu Yizhi shouted with an ugly face, then stretched out his finger to point at the top of his head, and then said, "Go out first and then talk."
Liu Xiaolu glared at Luo Lin, then turned and followed Hu Yizhi downstairs. Seeing this, Luo Lin hurriedly caught up.
The three of them walked out of Bailian Gate without any obstruction, and after walking through two or three streets in a row, they stopped.
"Tell me." Hu Yizhi frowned slightly, his face a little gloomy.
Luo Lin lowered his head, his pretty face flushed, and said, "Bailian Gate is open today, and mortals are not allowed to enter the store, so I stood in the crowd from a distance outside the door and watched.
After a while, a female nun in white came out of the store and said that someone in the store was looking for me. I followed her to a room on the third floor and sat there for a while while burning incense. The female nun in white asked me to
Gone."
"Who did you meet on the third floor of Bailianmen? How did you get involved with them?" Liu Xiaolu raised his head and stared at Luo Lin's face, frowning.
Hu Yizhi stood aside with his hands behind his hands. Although he didn't say anything, his face clearly had a rather dissatisfied expression.
"I have nothing to do with Bailian Sect, and there was no one in the room that man took me to!" Luo Lin said anxiously.
"You just said that you were invited to the third floor by people from Bailian Sect just a stick of incense?" Hu Yizhi suddenly asked.
Luo Lin nodded and said, "Yes, I looked at half a stick of incense outside the gate. I couldn't see anything interesting and was about to go back. Suddenly, a female cultivator in white came out from inside and called me in."
Liu Xiaolu curled his lips when he heard this and said, "When someone calls you, do you follow them in? Immortal cultivators in Zongyuan City are not allowed to attack mortals without any reason. There are so many people outside the door watching. If you don't want to go in, she can still force her.
Can’t I pull you in?”
"I, I originally thought that I wouldn't be able to see anything outside anyway, and I don't have anything worthy of being a cultivator, so I might as well go in with her and see what the Hundred Refiners Sect wants to do with me." Luo
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Lin quickly explained again.
Hu Yizhi waved his hand towards Liu Xiaolu who wanted to say something more, and said with a solemn expression, "The Bailian Sect will not become interested in a mortal without any reason. If it is according to what Luo Lin said, he must have been there before we arrived at the Bailian Sect.
Someone discovered our whereabouts.
People from Bailian Sect not only know that we are from Wanxiang Pavilion, but also know that Luo Lin is also from Wanxiang Pavilion, and it was their arrangement in advance for Luo Lin and us to meet in Wanxiang Pavilion."
"But why do they do this? Although Luo Lin belongs to Wanxiang Pavilion, he only helps with odd jobs in Wanxiang Pavilion. As for us, we only go there to visit Grandpa Lou occasionally.
If this is their plan to alienate each other, what good will it do to the Bailian Sect to alienate our master and disciple?" Liu Xiaolu asked confused.
"I don't understand either, but there are only two possibilities for making arrangements before you and I enter the Hundred Refines Sect.
One is that Bailian Sect has many eyes and ears in Zongyuan City and can keep track of our movements at all times.
Another possibility is that there are foundation-building monks in Bailian Sect who discovered our traces in advance today." Hu Yizhi pondered for a while and said slowly.
Liu Xiaolu's round black eyes widened and he exclaimed in shock, "Foundation-building monk? Isn't this Hundred Refining Sect opened by the apprentice of the weapon refiner named Bi? Could it be that his apprentice is a Foundation-building monk?"
Even so, how did they know that we are related to Wanxiang Pavilion when they just came to Zongyuan City?"
Hu Yizhi shook his head and said, "Although Bailianmen's shop just opened today, they may have already arranged manpower in Zongyuan City.
We have never been shy about coming and going to Wanxiang Pavilion, and if anyone wants to check, they can easily find out our relationship with Uncle Lou."
Hearing this, Luo Lin seemed to suddenly think of something. He frowned and said hesitantly, "When I was brought into the Bailian Sect today, I saw that some of the female cultivators in the shop seemed to have been seen in Wanxiang Pavilion before."
Liu Xiaolu frowned and thought for a while. It seemed that Luo Lin was really popular among the female monks when he was at Wanxiang Pavilion.
As for the female cultivators in the Hundred Refiners Sect...
The two people at the door must have never been seen before, and the female nuns in yellow on the first floor seemed to have no impression of them. The female nun in green who received them on the second floor was quite good-looking, but I had never seen them before.
Wait, after thinking about it carefully, the other two female cultivators in Tsing Yi on the second floor look familiar. Moreover, since the two of them went to the second floor, they have consciously or unconsciously distanced themselves from them. They almost always have their backs to the two of them.
The guests beside the shelves introduced the magical artifacts.
After trying hard to recall what he saw in the Wanxiang Pavilion that day, Liu Xiaolu finally determined the identities of the two female cultivators in blue.
Hu Yizhi seemed to have thought of the connection, and his expression became even uglier.
The last time I saw them in Wanxiang Pavilion was more than a month ago. It seems that the Bailian Sect had been arranged in Zongyuan City even earlier.
"But what are they trying to do, just because Grandpa Lou and that old man Bi have some feud? It's not a life-and-death feud. Is it necessary to spend so much time and energy?" Liu Xiaolu asked doubtfully.
Hu Yizhi shook his head and said with a cold face, "Although I don't know their ultimate goal, I guess they must have a big goal. I'm afraid that their behavior today is to give us a disincentive."
If Bizhuang is the only weapon refiner, Bailian Sect is unlikely to have such strength, and there are no other forces in Zongyuan City intervening behind him."
As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent for an instant, and they all speculated in their hearts about the forces behind Bailian Sect.
Seeing that both of them were sullen and silent, Hu Yizhi reached out and patted Liu Xiaolu on the head and said with a smile, "It's useless to think about it. The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. No matter what tricks they have, we will follow it."
Uncle Lou is not only very knowledgeable in the art of weapon refining, but also a kind-hearted person. He has had good relationships with various families in Zongyuan City over the years. No matter how much the Bailian Sect bluffs, it may not be able to shake the status of Wanxiang Pavilion.
After all, the battle between weapon refiners is no different from the battle between ordinary monks, they still have to compete in the art of weapon refinement."
Although Liu Xiaolu was still a little worried, he nodded when he heard this and said, "Yes, after all, Grandpa Lou is the only weapon refiner in Zongyuan City who can create high-quality magic weapons. Today, I think the best among the Hundred Refiners Sect are just some."
It's a medium-grade magical instrument, so it's not a big deal."
Hu Yizhi smiled and shook his head and said, "Even high-grade magical weapons are of different quality. Uncle Lou has been immersed in the art of weapon refining for many years. If it were not for his cultivation, he would be somewhat confident in refining mid-level magical weapons."
"So does the art of weapon refining have something to do with cultivation?" Liu Xiaolu asked curiously.
"Of course there is. Elementary magical weapons can be refined with ordinary fire, but intermediate magical weapons are like the foundation-building pill. They need to be tempered with innate fire to be successfully refined." Hu Yizhi explained.
It turns out that although weapon refining and elixir refining are in different directions, they reach the same goal by different paths. It also requires the use of innate fire to refine magical weapons of better quality.
Liu Xiaolu nodded with sudden realization, but she was thinking in her heart, if she succeeded in building the foundation in the future, could she use her innate fire to help Grandpa Lou refine an intermediate magical weapon?
