Xiao Yuan's mansion is also located in Stanley City.
He led Chen Li through twists and turns, through streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a narrow door.
"This is it." Xiao Yuan said, taking out the key and twisting the keyhole several times before finally opening the copper lock and pushing the door open.
Chen Li followed and entered.
This is a small courtyard covering an area of less than half an acre, and there are not even formations arranged inside.
For a monk in the middle stage of foundation building, this really seems a bit embarrassing and cramped.
In fact, if my guess is correct, even this house should be rented.
It just shouldn't be.
Xiao Yuan has never been in such a bad state.
Thinking back on the Tianxing Sect's annihilation battle, these people made a lot of bloody wealth, and each of them made a lot of money. For example, Chen Li himself received more than two hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and his harvest was second only to Chen Li's.
Li's Xiaoyuan was also divided into nearly two hundred people.
Now, in less than three years, it’s all spent?
"I'm ashamed that my humble home has made fellow Taoists laugh." Xiao Yuan looked embarrassed.
"How...how did you get to this point?" Chen Li said in surprise.
"Alas, this matter cannot be explained in words!" Xiao Yuan sighed, with a gloomy look on his face.
After the two of them sat down.
Xiao Yuan then told the whole story in detail.
After the ancestor's self-destruction ushered in a glimmer of hope for all the disciples.
Everyone began to flee for their lives.
Xiao Yuan was also one of them. He did not dare to run to the surrounding areas, but chose to run directly to Stanley City like Chen Li.
He had no wives, no children, and was alone.
Most of the wealth is put in storage bags and carried with you.
The mountain gate was destroyed, and although the sect's protection was lost, there was not much loss in other aspects.
The journey to Stanley City was also smooth.
However, this good luck ended there.
After arriving at Stanley City, he probably relaxed his vigilance and was about to find an inn to stay. When he was about to pay, he touched the storage bag and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. There was no storage bag on him.
, all three storage bags on his body were missing, not a single one was left.
Storage bags are all imprinted with divine consciousness.
However this is of no use.
As soon as he sensed the location, the marks were being erased one after another.
Stanley City is not a deserted area without many people. It is a densely populated place with a constant flow of people traveling from south to north.
How can you find the thief in the crowd at this time?
What's even more unlucky is that when he entered the city, he also put the magic weapon into his storage bag. Except for the second-level mid-grade magic robe he was wearing, which was still worth some money, he had nothing else.
This bolt from the blue almost made him depressed.
Unlike Chen Li, he has a skill and can make a living by drawing talismans.
He can neither draw talismans, nor make weapons, nor can he make elixirs. He only has a handful of cultivation skills.
In order to survive in Stanley City, he had to sell his second-level mid-level robe at a discount and buy a second-level mid-level magic weapon and a set of second-level low-level robes.
I usually go to the nearby forest to collect herbs and hunt monsters, or I pick up jobs in the city.
A dignified middle stage of foundation building actually seemed like a casual cultivation of Qi training.
After hearing all this, Chen Li didn't know what to say.
"I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of this bastard born by this servant. In the past six months, I have traveled all over the surrounding Cultivation City, but I still can't find any trace of my stolen things."
Xiao Yuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and uttered obscenities. His bone-deep resentment could soar into the sky.
"It's been so long, and they've probably all been scattered around. There's no point in looking for them anymore. Money is just an external possession, as long as the person is fine, that's fine. Many of these people have taken the money, and it's life-threatening. Let me tell you.
You should be lucky that it was just stolen." Chen Li comforted.
It's just that Xiao Yuan obviously couldn't relate to this.
He looked at Chen Li's second-level high-grade robe that exuded rich aura.
His face became more depressed.
"Oh, I understand this too." Xiao Yuan sighed and said with a wistful expression: "But when it comes to myself, it has been lingering in my heart and I can't let it go. Alas, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you.
.”
"I...I don't have anything to say, that's all."
Surrounded by his wives and concubines, he has a huge sum of money and lives a happy life.
On weekdays, I draw talismans, practice Qi, and exercise. My cultivation goes smoothly and I don't have any worries.
These days are more leisurely and comfortable than when I was still in the Zhenzong sect.
Nowadays, there is no one to control you, so you can do whatever you want, and no one is forcing you to serve or kill.
It's just that naturally you can't say this to Xiao Yuan.
After all, this is too cruel.
It's just rubbing salt into his wounds.
Chen Li wanted to mention the remnants of the Tianxing Sect, but after thinking about it he decided not to.
It doesn't matter whether you mention this or not.
Instead, he exposes himself.
There are still people in Tianxing Sect alive.
Not to mention the female cultivator Feng Min who was let go by Chen Li, there is another person who is living outside.
No one can guarantee that they will not hear the news.
After all, a secret is only a secret if you know it. When the second person knows it, the secret is no longer a secret.
Although the chance is very low.
But why should he go to trouble to gamble.
He turned to ask other disciples who came to Stanley City.
"Wen Hui, Peng Yan and his wife, as well as Taoist friend Ding Jian are all here." Xiao Yuan said: "By the way, Ding Jian was valued by a Jindan elder of Huoyun Sect and accepted him as a disciple and joined Huoyun Sect."
"What?" Chen Li looked surprised when he heard this.
He admitted that he was a little sore.
This Ding Jian is simply a blessing from God.
The foundation was built at the age of twenty.
Then he was accepted as his direct disciple by his ancestor.
Others have to serve, but he doesn't.
Even if they attack the Tianxing Sect, the ancestor will conquer it himself.
He still hasn't shown up.
As the golden elixir seed, he has a transcendent status in the Huanzhen Sect.
If we talk about the ancestor's attention, I am afraid that even Xia Hongyi, the head of general affairs, cannot compare with him.
After all, in the eyes of the ancestor, Ding Jian is the real successor.
I originally thought that when the Huanzhen Sect's mountain gate was destroyed, the other party would become a casual cultivator like me, but I didn't expect that he would become a disciple of Jindan in the blink of an eye, and join the Huoyun Sect of the Yuanying sect, taking him to the next level.
"You can't believe it, right? This is the golden elixir seed. It's a treasure everywhere." Xiao Yuan sighed: "It's a pity that we only met Ding Jian a few times, and we can't even be a casual acquaintance. Otherwise, we would
With this relationship, I will be able to gain a foothold in Stanley City from now on."
Chen Li's heart suddenly moved and he remembered something.
He recalled it carefully.
When I found the white bird attacking the mountain gate.
Indeed, he had never seen Ding Jian.
So, where was he at that time?
Was he called aside by his ancestor, or was he always in front of his ancestor?
I'm afraid that the ancestor most likely left all the relics to him before he committed suicide.
He is not very jealous of other things, even if they are the magic weapons of the Golden elixir monks.
But he had to get the golden elixir part of the follow-up of the Immortality Kung Fu.
This is related to the future path.
His mind was spinning, his thoughts flashed by, and then he smiled and said: "After all, Zeng and Jin are from the same sect, we will still miss some old feelings... Isn't Fellow Taoist Wen from the Hongshan Sect by marriage? Why didn't the two of them return to Hongshan?
group?"
"I don't know about this." Xiao Yuan said: "But the people of the Hongshan Sect have always been weird. They always feel that there is something evil. They probably don't want to go back."
