On the same day, Xing Nan and the other two carefully tidied up the stone building that looked like an ancient castle.
There are several wing rooms on the second floor of the stone building. They are originally used for their own purposes, such as study rooms, bathrooms, utility rooms, etc. The second floor originally only had one bedroom, but Xing Nan and Duan Rui separated the study room and utility room respectively.
After tidying up the room, these two rooms became their bedrooms.
Next to the living room on the first floor, there is a kitchen with all the kitchen utensils, but no food storage.
That night, Xing Nan cooked, and everyone took out all the food that could be cooked from the storage magic weapon, and Xing Nan made four dishes and one soup for everyone.
Xing Nan was not good at cooking, but after working as a waiter at the Kirigakure Inn for so long, he learned a few tricks. Although he was not as good as those experienced chefs, he could at least make the food taste somewhat good.
Maybe it was the food made by Xing Nan. Princess Yun Shang, who had always been very naughty, kept praising her while eating.
As for Duan Rui, it was enough to fill his stomach. He was still worried about his elder sister, so everything he ate tasted tasteless.
…
On the second day after arriving at Holy Dragon Academy, Xing Nan and the three of them left Holy Dragon Academy together again.
None of them put on the uniforms issued by the college, but they all wore a round badge on their chest.
This badge is made of silver and is about two inches in diameter. It has the four words "Piaoyun Academy" engraved on it, and there is also an engraving on the edge of two dragons playing with a pearl.
Naturally, the badges of the three people are not exactly the same. For example, the badges of Xing Nan and Princess Yunshang have a sword engraved in the center, while Duan Rui's badge has a fist in the center.
The reverse side of all the badges is engraved with the image of a stone sculpture. The stone sculpture is in human form and is the statue of the first dean of Shenglong Academy.
The badges were also left by Cheng Jun yesterday. Maybe there were too many things to explain, so Cheng Jun didn't elaborate on them and just put everyone's badges together with those sets of clothes.
Everyone does not need to wear those special clothes when entering and leaving the Holy Dragon Academy, but the badge is required. Without the badge of the Holy Dragon Academy, you cannot freely enter and leave the academy gate, unless you are some higher-status instructors.
The instructor's badge is made of gold, and the patterns engraved on the front and back are similar to the students' silver badges.
…
Early in the morning, Shenglong Academy was very quiet. Few people saw Xing Nan and the others, and they didn't need to say hello to anyone.
Uncle Qi was sweeping the floor at the gate like he did yesterday morning. He just glanced at Xing Nan and the others without saying a word or stopping them.
"Should we act separately or together?" Duan Rui asked after leaving the gate.
"The imperial city is too big, so let's split up." Princess Yunshang said.
"Well, splitting up can save a lot of time. This is the Imperial City, there won't be any danger." Xing Nan nodded, "After we separate, we can just use the communication beads to keep in touch."
At that moment, the three of them each chose a street.
…
For ten days in a row, Xing Nan and the others did not attend the lectures. They went out during the day to look for materials for refining the Taoist Soul Shaping Pill, and at night they went back to the stone building to rest or meditate.
The past ten days have been peaceful, without any surprises. They have collected most of the materials for refining the Taoist Soul Shaping Pill, leaving only three that are difficult to find.
Those three hard-to-find items are also the most valuable and indispensable main materials.
During this period, Duan Rui and Princess Yun Shang were worried about Duan Zhirou, so they went to Huichun Building to have a look.
Duan Zhirou's condition is very stable. Under the care of the miracle doctor, she is still unconscious as before, but her complexion is like a normal person.
On the eleventh day, the three of them left the Holy Dragon Academy early in the morning as usual, then hired a carriage and split up to search for further blocks.
Near noon, Xing Nan came to Fule Street in Beicheng.
Fule Street is a very famous street in the North District of Shenglong Imperial City, not because it has countless high-rise buildings, nor because it has many rare shops, but because this street is a gold sales den where the rich
A place where the rich and powerful spend time and relax.
To put it bluntly, Fule Street is a place to have fun. There are many brothels and casinos, and of course there are also magnificent restaurants and teahouses.
The rich and nobles in the imperial city spend a lot of money here, but the common people can't be happy even if they spend their entire life savings here.
Xing Nan certainly didn't come here to have fun. He heard that there was an underground black market in Fule Street, where there were many treasures for sale that were hard to find on the market.
The treasures sold in the underground black market are of various types and quality, but they often have one characteristic in common, that is, they are obtained through abnormal channels. They are often stolen goods obtained through murder, robbery, and theft.
Those who are discerning or lucky can find treasures in the underground black market on Fule Street and make a fortune by reselling them later; those who are unlucky or have poor eyesight will lose all their money by buying fakes here.
You may even get involved in a lawsuit for buying stolen goods, or even get yourself killed.
…
In the past three days, Xing Nan and the others have been looking for the last three pieces of materials, but they have always had no clue, so Xing Nan thought of the underground black market on Fule Street and wanted to try his luck.
"This little brother is so handsome, come in and play with your sister!"
An enchanting woman took Xing Nan's arm and used her small jade hands to scratch Xing Nan's cheek.
The strong smell of rouge and gouache hit his nostrils, and Xing Nan couldn't help but frown. He smiled softly and said, "I'm not free today, let's do it another day."
These promiscuous women are not easy either, so Xing Nan will naturally not make things difficult for them.
"Brother, today Zuiyun Tower gives you a 50% discount, come in and give it a try!"
After walking a few steps, another graceful woman grabbed Xing Nan.
Xing Nan still refused with a smile and continued walking deeper into Fule Street.
boom!
Suddenly, a figure flew out of the three-story building in front, and the figure hit the hard stone slab in the middle of the street.
Then a group of strong men walked out of the building next to them. They quickly surrounded the man in the middle of the street, and then hit the man hard with the iron bars in their hands.
"It's an eye-opener! I don't want to ask where Yu Ji's gambling house is!"
"If you dare to mess around here, you deserve to be beaten to death!"
The strong men beat him hard and cursed fiercely.
Those strong men all have fierce auras, and they obviously have strong skills.
Fule Street is most lively at night, but there are also many passers-by during the day. However, everyone has no intention of watching, and deliberately speeds up their pace when passing by the strong men.
"Okay, come back! Don't really beat me to death!"
A window opened on the second floor of Yuji Casino, and a young man flapped his folding fan and called to the strong men below.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xing Nan. He also passed by those strong men and passed by the entrance of Yuji Gambling House. But when those strong men retreated, he found that the man lying at the entrance of Yuji Gambling House was
That person looked very familiar to him.
Xing Nan stopped and deliberately looked at it for a while.
The man who was severely beaten slowly got up after a while. His clothes were in rags, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Although his appearance was blurry and his face was covered in blood, Xing Nan still recognized the man...
"Brother Le!"
Xing Nan quickly went up and helped the man up.
"Are you...Xing Nan?" The man first wiped the blood on his face, then rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking in disbelief.
"It's me, Brother Le!" Xing Nan said excitedly.
The person who was beaten up just now was none other than Lehua, the former waiter at Kirigakure Inn and who had a very good relationship with Xing Nan.
When we said goodbye to each other in Yumo City, I never thought that Lehua would also come to Holy Dragon Imperial City.
"Let's go first!" Lehua dragged his seriously injured body, trying to pull Xing Nan to leave quickly.
"Wait a minute." Xing Nan stood firm, "Why did they hit you?"
"It's nothing. It's not their fault. Let's go first and find a quiet place to talk." Lehua looked very nervous.
Xing Nan frowned slightly and looked up at the second floor of Yuji Casino.
The window was still open, and the young man in his twenties was still at the window, looking at Xing Nan curiously.
"Since this guy has friends here, let's invite them in!" The young man by the window on the second floor waved his folding fan and ordered with a chuckle on his face.
Swish, swish, swish...
The group of strong men filed out of Yuji Casino again and quickly surrounded Xing Nan and the others in the middle of the street.
"I told you to leave just now, but you can't leave now." Lehua said gloomily.
Although Lehua has now reached the level of a seventh-grade warrior, he is only a little stronger than those strong civilians. The guards around Yuji Casino are mostly masters at the master level, and they are not something he can deal with at all.
"Now you can tell me why they beat you?" Xing Nan's face remained calm.
"You two, let's go in and talk."
A Yu Ji guard with a scar on his face stepped forward and sneered.
"I owe them some spiritual stones." Lehua said with a wry smile, "Actually, I don't owe them anything. I won a lot here before, but then I ran out of luck and lost them all. Who knew they would settle some with me again?"
The consumption accounts... are difficult to describe in a word."
"How many spiritual stones do you owe?" Xing Nan asked.
"I'm not sure. Anyway, I can't get enough, so I don't care anymore." Lehua shook his head.
"Go in and talk!"
The scarred-faced guard seemed to have run out of patience, and he used the iron rod in his hand to pound Xing Nan's chest.
"snort!"
Xing Nan grabbed the iron rod and with just a slight exertion, he instantly lifted the strong man with the scarred face.
The scar-faced strong man reacted quickly. He immediately let go and landed firmly on the ground.
The rest of the strong bodyguards rushed forward!
"stop!"
A shout came from the second floor of Yu Ji Casino, and all the guards of Yu Ji stood still and raised their heads.
"You really don't have eyes, didn't you see the badge on his chest? He is a genius of Holy Dragon Academy, how can you ignore him?"
The young man folded up his folding fan and jumped out of the second floor window.
"I'm Yu Shaojie, what do you call me brother?" the young man said politely, cupping his fists.
"Excuse me, Xing Nan." Xing Nan also clasped his fists in return, "How many spiritual stones does he owe you?"
