On the other side, the Xiao family's carriage passed through two streets and stopped at an inn near the river.
The group still rented a house with an independent courtyard.
After entering the small courtyard and assigning rooms, Qin Ziling explained to Xiao Qing, then carried the heavy knife box into his room and closed the door to thank the guests.
"Miss, someone was following us along the way. It should be Pang Tianpeng's people." Yun Xiwu lowered his voice and said to Xiao Qing.
A qi refiner's senses are even sharper than a martial artist's.
"Well, I feel it too. But this is the inner city, and this is the territory and property of the Cui family. Pang Tianpeng doesn't dare to act rashly. You don't have to worry too much." Xiao Qing said.
"I'm old, so there's nothing to worry about. I'm just worried about Miss, in case..." Yun Xiwu said.
"It doesn't matter, I know it well." Xiao Qing glanced at Qin Ziling's closed door and said calmly.
She didn't know why, but with Qin Ziling around, she felt particularly at ease.
Yun Xiwu followed Xiao Qing's gaze and landed on Qin Ziling's closed door. His heart skipped a beat, but he felt it was impossible.
"There is something wrong with the atmosphere in Qinghe County. There are too many strong foreigners gathered here. Aunt Yun, you are a local. Please help me to find out if anything is going to happen in Qinghe County recently." Xiao Qing followed up and ordered.
road.
"It's Miss!" Yun Xiwu bowed slightly and retreated.
After Yun Xiwu exited, Xiao Qing also entered his room to circulate his energy and blood and condense his strength.
After a martial artist reaches the realm of a martial artist, they no longer have to practice martial arts every day to polish their body and bones. They need to spare time to circulate their energy and blood and condense their strength. This is somewhat similar to the Qi Refining Dao Sect.
But a martial artist operates and condenses his own Qi and blood, which is different from a Qi refiner. The latter operates and condenses the Qi of the five elements between heaven and earth, and stores it in the meridians and Dantian.
The room where Qin Ziling is located.
Qin Ziling opened the knife box and assembled the Sky Splitting Knife.
Then he danced a few sword dances easily.
Suddenly a cold wind blew up, filling the room with a cold light.
"What a sword! What a sword! Now I am actually equivalent to the legendary fierce man with natural powers, copper skin and iron arms, and with the help of this sky-splitting sword, I am like a tiger with added wings, and my combat effectiveness is doubled!
Moreover, I can hide this knife in the corpse-raising ring, and when needed, suddenly take it out, strike down with the knife, and split Huashan Mountain with all its strength. Not to mention a great martial artist in the early stage of bone refining, even a great martial artist in the middle stage of bone refining, if caught off guard, will vomit blood and be seriously injured."
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling's heart was full of pride and he wished he could look up to the sky and roar.
After a while, Qin Ziling suppressed the lofty ideals surging in his heart and put the Sky-Splitting Knife into the corpse ring.
"Pang Tianpeng saw Xiao Qing's carriage just now. I wonder if he will find an opportunity to follow and ambush us. In fact, I was expecting Pang Tianpeng to ambush me!"
After Qin Ziling put away the Sky-Splitting Knife, he licked his lips with a look of anticipation in his eyes.
The night is getting deeper and the cold wind is starting to rise.
The painted boat on the river outside the inn still has lanterns hanging high, and waves of string singing can be heard.
The streets were still crowded with people, and the noisy sounds of diners could be heard from time to time in the lobby of the inn.
Small courtyard study room.
Qin Ziling, Xiao Qing, Xia Yan and Xiyunwu, who had gone out to inquire about news, were all there.
"Miss, Mr. Qin, have you ever heard of Hua Chi?" Yun Xiwu took a sip of the tea handed over by Xia Yan, moistened his throat, and calmed down before asking.
"Hua Chi?" Qin Ziling had a look of doubt on his face.
"Hua Chi!" Xiao Qing exclaimed when she heard this, her chest rising and falling uncontrollably.
"It seems you have heard of Hua Chi." Qin Ziling looked at Xiao Qing and said.
Xiao Qing nodded, then took a deep breath, and then said: "There are records in the history of the Xiao family that Hua Chi is a strange beast with the blood of the ancient chi dragon.
This alien beast is a fourth-grade mid-level alien beast, but because it has the blood of the ancient chilong, the nourishing effect of its flesh and blood on martial arts practitioners and Qi refiners is comparable to the most powerful fourth-grade upper-level alien beast.
And because the water is mild and nourishes all things, the medicinal effect is also mild.
Therefore, a Huajin martial artist with a solid foundation can completely withstand the power of the medicine, and a Huajin martial artist with a weaker foundation can also withstand it if the quantity is controlled well.
By chance, an ancestor of the Xiao family teamed up with others to hunt down a chili. After eating it, his strength greatly increased, and he eventually became a great martial artist in the late stage of bone refining. He was only a little short of becoming a martial arts master.
It was this ancestor who laid the foundation for the inheritance of the Xiao family from generation to generation. Unfortunately, since the death of this ancestor, the Xiao family has gradually declined, and it has become even more dilapidated after my grandfather passed away."
After hearing this, Qin Ziling's expression finally changed.
"The efficacy of the fourth-grade mid-level exotic beasts is equivalent to that of the top fourth-grade upper-level alien beasts, and it is also mild in potency. Even Huajin warriors with weaker foundations can eat it. There are actually such alien beasts in this world!
Aunt Yun suddenly mentioned Hua Chi, could it be that there are so many outsiders in Qinghe County because Hua Chi is haunting Qinghe County?"
When it came to the last sentence, even with Qin Ziling's calm personality, it was inevitable that he would get a little excited.
Now that he is covered in iron skin, the next step is to condense his strength.
According to his foundation, there is a high probability that the medicine for fifth-grade exotic beasts will be too strong, and he will not be able to hunt them down.
The most suitable one is definitely a fourth-grade high-level alien beast.
But for the current Qin Ziling, the fourth-grade upper-level alien beasts should be able to compete with them by using various methods, but hunting them down, especially in the dangerous depths of Wuyang Mountain, is simply a dream.
Not to mention fourth-grade high-level exotic beasts, even fourth-grade mid-level exotic beasts are very difficult and dangerous to hunt deep in the dangerous Wuyang Mountains.
The secret medicine of the fourth-grade intermediate beast level is already Qin Ziling's minimum requirement for himself and Xiao Qing.
This is one of the reasons why Qin Ziling immediately brought Xiao Qing to Qinghe County as soon as he broke through the iron skin around him.
Unexpectedly, a strange beast like Hua Chi suddenly appeared.
This is simply a strange beast tailor-made for him and Xiao Qing!
It has the ability to hunt and kill, and it also has the best medicinal effect!
"Yes." Aunt Yun nodded and replied: "There is a mountain in the south of Qinghe County called Panchi Mountain. I heard about this mountain when I was young. It is said that Chi dragons once lived in this mountain.
I always just regarded it as a folk myth and legend. Unexpectedly, I just went out to ask around and found out that this rumor may be true because there is a dragon vein hidden under the mountain.
Dragons are good at changing, they can be big or small, they can bend and stretch, they can hide and appear, they can fly and they can dive. The dragon veins under Panchi Mountain are usually invisible, and you don't know where they are lurking. They only open the door and appear every thirty years.
once.
Although I was born and raised in Qinghe County, thirty years ago, I was just a little person who had just started eating Qi and unblocking the meridians, and had no access to news at this level, so I didn't know that such a thing existed.
Speaking of which, it’s fortunate that the young lady helped me and became a Qi Refiner before I could find out the news. Otherwise, I might never know in my lifetime that there really were Chi dragons living in Pan Chi Mountain and there were dragon veins hidden there.”
Speaking of this, Yun Xiwu paused for a moment, and then said with a hint of apology: "This is too far. I heard that the dragon veins under Panchi Mountain will open the portal and appear once every thirty years. At this time, there will be
Hua Chi came to absorb the dragon's veins and energy."
"So Pang Tianpeng and his party, as well as many strong men who suddenly appeared in the city, are all here for Hua Chi." Xiao Qing suddenly realized, but immediately shook her head immediately after, "No, Hua Chi's medicinal effect
It is comparable to a fifth-grade exotic beast. The most rare thing is that its medicinal power is very mild.
Don’t talk about us, even the martial arts masters in Zang refining realm and the Qi refining masters in Fayuan realm will be very excited. Once the master-level figures take action, how can we people have a share? Even if they come, it will be in vain!"
Yun Xiwu nodded when he heard the words and said: "Miss is right. I was also doubtful at first. Later, after asking around, I realized that not everyone can enter the Dragon Vein Portal, and neither can Hua Chi."
The strange beasts that come out of the Wuyang Mountains are the strange beasts raised by an overseas religion called Chiluo.
It is said that the originator of Chiluo Sect is a Chilong, which is closely related to Panchi Mountain. Every thirty years, people of Chiluo Sect will bring ten transformed Chi dragons into Panchi Mountain to absorb the dragon's veins and energy.
The Chiluo Sect has an agreement with the major forces in our Xiyun Prefecture. Xiyun Prefecture allows their people to bring Hua Chi into Panchi Mountain to absorb the dragon energy from the dragon veins. They will use their blood to open the Panchi Mountain Dragon Veins and allow Xi
The people from Yunzhou went in to hunt Chi for three days.
However, the cultivation level of those who go hunting is limited. The martial artist cannot exceed the early stage of bone refining, and the maximum level of the Qi refiner cannot exceed the early stage of true energy.
Moreover, great martial arts masters in the early stage of bone refining or great qi refining masters in the early stage of Zhenyuan must possess the Order of Panchi if they want to enter the Dragon Vein Portal."
When Qin Ziling heard this, he looked at Xiao Qing.
"The Xiao family does not have Pan Chi Ling!" Xiao Qing shook her head.
"I have inquired, and the Chiluo Sect only issued eighteen orders of Panchi. Nine of them were given to sects and families in Qinghe County, and the other nine were given to sects and families in other counties in Xiyun Prefecture."
Yunwu explained.
"It seems that those who are qualified to possess the Pan Chi Order are the real sects and families in Xiyun Prefecture!" Qin Ziling nodded.
"Mr. Qin is right. It is said that the four prominent families of Cui, Dong, Han, and Hou in Qinghe County, as well as the Biyun Sect, Feixing Sect and other sects, and the Pang Family, Jinlie Sect, Xuanwu Sect over there in the city.
Gu and other major forces all received the Pan Chi Order.
Those who do not have the Order of Pan Chi want to enter the Dragon Vein Portal, except that their cultivation level must be lower than the realm of bone refining and true essence, and everyone who enters must pay at least one second-grade exotic beast."
Having said this, Xiyunwu paused for a moment, with a hint of ridicule on his face, and continued, "The ten-headed Chi Chi is equivalent to the ten great martial arts masters in the middle stage of bone refining. The eighteen-faced Chi Chi Order is equivalent to
Eighteen great martial arts masters in the early stage of bone refining or great Qi refining masters in the early stage of Zhenyuan.
With so many strong men gathered together, other martial arts masters or qi refiners would have no chance of hunting Hua Chi if they entered the Dragon Vein Portal of Panchi Mountain, not to mention that everyone would have to pay a second-grade exotic beast if they wanted to enter.
However, there are still many people who have whims and would rather pay a second-grade exotic beast to go in and try their luck."
Having said this, Xiyun Wu shook his head repeatedly.
