He didn't know when he started to vaguely see a woman in white clothes in the darkness of the store. She looked like a Peking Opera singer, with her long sleeves fluttering and her hands raised to the right, maintaining this posture motionlessly. ↗ Slowly
Float past the door.
But Wang Meng, who was standing next to him, didn't even see it at all.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Lin Xin flashed a ruthless look in his eyes and waved his hand. "Light a fire for me! Burn it!"
"yes!"
A group of big men had been waiting impatiently. After hearing this, those who had flints took out flints one after another. Some people picked up dry wooden sticks nearby, wrapped them in cloth and lit them with candles in lanterns, and began to set fire to the clothing store in all directions.
.
The fire gradually lit up the dark streets nearby.
Ever since weird things happened to this clothing store, many of the surrounding homeowners have moved away. Later, for some reason, even the surrounding houses were demolished, leaving only a solitary store.
Watching the flames burning higher and higher, Lin Xin took out more than ten resentment charms from his skin bag, injected his inner energy and threw them into the side door.
Amidst the clattering sound, more than a dozen resentment charms were ignited by the fire and turned into ashes almost instantly.
At this moment, two figures suddenly rushed out of the clothing store.
One of them was Shu Luoyi. Her face was pale, and she had been changed into a bright red dress at some point.
The other Yu Chang fell into coma just after he saved his life.
Lin Xin went up to take a look and found that this guy was actually pierced with a lot of white threads everywhere. The dense white threads had dozens of holes pierced from the shoulders, and there was faint traces of blood coming out of the holes.
Wang Meng quickly stepped forward to help Yu Chang up to check the situation.
"It's nothing serious, I just lost too much blood." He turned around and reported.
Lin Xin nodded, took a picture of a poison-avoiding talisman and a sweet rain talisman for Yu Chang, and then looked at Shu Luoyi, who was still awake.
"Good burning!" Shu Luoyi stared at the clothing store bitterly. "The Yin Gathering Formation from all directions is so skillful! I almost couldn't get out!"
"Four Directions Gathering Yin Formation?" This was the first time Lin Xin heard this name. Even in Lin's books in the Formation Hall, he did not find the name of this formation.
"It's a very evil formation. If you hadn't lit a fire to raise Yang Qi, and added a stack of resentment talismans to break the formation, Yu Chang and I would have been trapped alive in it." Shu Luoyi took out one himself.
Small bottle, took two bright red pills from it and swallowed them.
"Sure enough, it's the Yin Gathering Formation from all directions... Sigh..." Suddenly a sigh sounded from behind the two of them.
Lin Xin turned around and saw three young Taoists in Taoist robes walking slowly. The one walking in front had a black moustache, a black tight band on his head, and a long white hand as thin as a finger on his back.
Sword. It is better to be called a sword than a sword.
"My lord, Zhao Hongtian, Junior Sister Shu. Long time no see. How are you?" Taoist Taoist with a mustache greeted with a smile.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhao." Shu Luoyi's expression changed slightly, and he greeted him with an cupped hand. "Senior Brother Zhao is not cultivating the Jade Light Sword in the sect, so why is he suddenly free to visit Peacock City?"
"Didn't you also receive a mission from Peacock City? Come here and relax?" Zhao Hongtian replied kindly.
Looking at Shu Luoyi's look, Lin Xin knew that the person in front of him must have some background, either with extraordinary strength or with a deeper background. He quickly followed suit and offered his hand as a courtesy.
Zhao Hongtian smiled and introduced the two junior brothers behind him. One was Ling Chun and the other was Ling Yun. They were cousins, but judging from their respectful manner, they were obviously his confidants.
Shu Luoyi also introduced Lin Xin and Yu Chang, who was unconscious on the ground.
The flames of the fire faintly attracted the officers and soldiers of Peacock City, and shouts of putting out the fire kept coming from the distance.
"This is not the place to talk, so let's find another place." Lin Xin suggested.
"That's fine."
Zhao Hongtian nodded.
******************
The group of people found a restaurant and opened a large private room to sit in.
At night, there weren't many people coming in and out to drink and eat, and the restaurant seemed quiet and deserted, which was perfect for conversation.
After letting the waiter serve a table of wine and food, Lin Xin ordered a pot of plum blossom honey drink. He didn't drink any wine and just poured it down and sipped it slowly.
Yu Chang also woke up at this time. He was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and regulating his breath. He also removed the silk thread piercing on his shoulder. It took three poison-avoiding charms to remove the poison.
"Wang Meng and the others are guarding here, so we can talk with confidence," Lin Xin said.
Zhao Hongtian looked at Shu Luoyi with a smile on his face.
"The Four Directions Gathering Yin Formation...Junior sister, have you discovered something good? Otherwise, with your temperament, you would never dive into such a weird formation yourself."
Shu Luoyi smiled coldly.
"Senior Brother Zhao should also know in his heart that the great benefits come with great risks. You may also know what I want. But I'm afraid that if I say it out, you won't dare to take it."
She picked up the cup of plum blossom honey in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.
"Now that the Yin Gathering Formations from all directions have come out, things have become big. This is a densely populated area, and no one can afford it if something big happens. So the sect should know about it soon. What we have to do now,
Just take the lead before the sect arrives!"
"After all, junior sister, let's be more honest. What do you want?" Zhao Hongtian asked with a half-smile.
"Human Face Fruit!" Shu Luoyi stopped being secretive this time and directly said a name that Lin Xin had never heard of before.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hongtian and Yu Chang's expressions immediately changed. Lin Xin and the other two people didn't know what it was. But looking at the faces of several people, they all knew that it was definitely an extraordinary treasure.
"Below the fifth level of qi refining, regardless of any situation, the user's inner qi realm can be forcibly improved. This is just an ordinary human-faced fruit. If you encounter a two-headed human-faced fruit... you can improve it even more!" Shu Luoyi
There was a flash of heat in his eyes.
Lin Xin's heart was also moved at this time.
He is now stuck on the threshold of innateness and cannot pass. The inner energy condensed by the Blood Pill method is progressing slower than that of ordinary disciples. Even the effect of Yin Blood is a bit worse than that of ordinary disciples.
Although he has not encountered a bottleneck for a while now, judging from the current speed of cultivation, he is not sure whether he can break through to practice Qi and stay in the sect in the remaining nine and a half years.
Xiao Guiyuan Jue must be practiced to the peak of the ninth level, and only after breaking through the tenth level can one enter Qi training.
Not to mention the blood elixir method, it is extremely difficult for some genius disciples to break through this level. It is normal for geniuses to stay for a year or two.
If he had to wait until he reached this level and wanted to break through, the difficulty would be even more terrifying.
"When the inner Qi is full, a trace of innate inner Qi will naturally be born. After entering the innate Qi, you can rely on this trace of innate Qi to begin to transform the human body's own structure. Prepare for the further qualitative transformation of new spiritual energy during the Qi refining period." Yu Chang's eyes showed a look of desire.
, "If we have the Human Face Fruit...it is said that there is a trace of innate energy in it, even if we just share the food, we can easily break through the innate energy!"
"Innate?" A trace of contempt flashed in Zhao Hongtian's eyes. "The greatest benefit of the Human Face Fruit is not to break through mere innateness, but to break through and practice Qi."
"What? Senior Brother Zhao is not moved at all?" Shu Luoyi looked at him in confusion.
"Hehehe... Who doesn't want the Human Face Fruit? Junior Sister, if you need help for me, just ask me!" Zhao Hongtian patted his chest happily.
"We need Brother Zhao's help now." Shu Luoyi said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "I caught a six-winged bee here and am preparing to use it to lead him to the beekeeper behind the scenes! It just so happens that Brother Zhao is very powerful.
Can you wait for the team leader for me!"
Zhao Hongtian's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly froze when he heard the word six-winged bee.
The changes are so rapid that even well-informed modern people like Lin Xin are a little stunned.
"Six wings... bees...?" Zhao Hongtian's voice sounded like it was squeezed out of his throat. "Shu... Junior sister Shu, you are not so courageous..."
"Senior brother, that's a compliment." Shu Luoyi sneered.
Zhao Hongtian's face became awkward. He was patting his chest to reassure himself just now. When he heard the six-winged bees, he suddenly shrank like a frosted eggplant.
For a while, no one spoke in the private room.
The two men brought by Zhao Hongtian also seemed to have heard about the six-winged bees, and their faces were a little pale at this time.
"Brother Zhao... why don't we go back to the sect? This matter involves too much and we are not in charge..."
One person whispered.
"Go back to the sect... That's right, this matter should be decided by the seniors of the sect. If we get involved at will, I'm afraid we will cause a lot of trouble." Zhao Hongtian nodded quickly in agreement.
He stood up and walked around the room several times.
"Without further delay, I will leave right away. Junior Sister Shu, I would like to advise you, it is best not to act rashly. This matter involves too much, and it is not something you and I can afford."
Shu Luoyi just sneered.
Yu Chang was a little frightened and looked hesitant.
Lin Xin probably understood something at this time.
Obviously, although this matter involves a huge amount, before the senior masters of the sect are involved, before the situation escalates, there is nothing anyone can do to take the lead.
Shu Luoyi obviously wanted to make up for this time difference. After the sect came to investigate, he could also say that he didn't know the situation would develop so fast. As long as he manages the situation well, it won't be a big problem.
As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. Even if you don't use the Human Face Fruit yourself, you can still make a lot of money by exchanging it with the brothers and sisters in the Qi Refining Stage.
Shu Luoyi wanted to take a gamble, but Zhao Hongtian didn't even have the courage to take a gamble. No wonder Shu Luoyi looked down upon him.
Zhao Hongtian took the two of them and left in a hurry.
Lin Xin and the others didn't go to see him off either, they still stayed in the room to rest.
"Zhao Hongtian's parents are both seniors in the sect's foundation-building period and are deacons of the sword hall. His family has used various means to raise his strength. He is now around the fifth floor and is a well-known figure in Xiantian. It's a pity that
It's just that I'm too timid." Shu Luoyi said disdainfully.
"What to do next?" Lin Xin asked with a frown. "And if there is only one Human Face Fruit, how to divide it?"
"There can't be only one human-faced fruit, there are usually five, arranged according to the five elements, you can rest assured." Shu Luoyi said confidently, "As for the next step, it depends on where our little bee can take us.
?”
She raised the six-winged bee in her hand and said meaningfully.
