Lu Hui was panting at the end of a certain alley with a confused look on his face, then turned around and searched the road carefully.
Soon after, he came to the entrance of the alley again, his eyes even more confused:
"It's strange... He ran in clearly, but he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There is no trace in the houses on the left and right or on the walls... Strange!"
He was very unwilling and walked into the alley again to search, but still found nothing.
"Weird!"
He left here shaking his head, and then looked for other places. He didn't walk out of the city until daybreak, but still found nothing.
He couldn't help but look back and take a deep look at the Silent Palace in the distance, because except for the Silent Palace, he had searched the entire city no less than twice - he had already learned that this was the famous Sunset City.
However, changes occurred in the city. Except for the Silent Hall, everyone else left the city and established two other cities, one for Chaoyang and the other for Tianyin.
After thinking about it, he did not go to the nearest Chaoyang City because he hated Lu Ao - if he had not sneaked into the Dawan Kingdom and became the general of Zhenxi, the Dawan Kingdom would not be what it is now; although
The people who destroyed his home were the people of Dawan, but he believed that Lu Ao was the cause of everything.
This idea of his is the mainstream in the country of Dawan, which is why Lu Ao has been unable to attack the country of Dawan - because this is the territory of Dawan, and people hate Lu Ao, so he lacks soldiers, and often
Every time he captured a city, he needed to station troops to prevent the Azure Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty from rebelling. It was precisely because of this that he changed his strategy and came to Sunset City in the name of slaying demons and defending the road.
"Tianyin City?"
He also heard the name of Tianyin City on the road, but because he was busy chasing Ma Zhiyuan at the time, he didn't know much. He only knew that there was a new sect in the Dawan Kingdom, named Tianyin, outside Sunset City.
Build a city.
He didn't even know that both the sect leader and the city lord were his old acquaintance Li Kui. He only knew that the man's name was Zhang Baoer.
If it were on Earth, the true situation of Zhang Baoer might spread all over the country overnight, but it is different here. The news spreads very slowly. It is impossible for big forces or people close to big forces to know about it quickly.
Therefore, when he walked around Lu Ba's military camp in fear and was selected as one of the hundred people who could enter the city by Han Dao who was guarding the city gate because of his miserable appearance, he regretted it!
"What?! Master Zhang is the genius Li Kui?!"
He said these words to Han Dao, who had just changed his guard. When he said these words, his expression was extremely wonderful, ranging from fear, wonder, regret, and panic...
Han Dao, who was wearing a brand-new blue uniform, had already anticipated his reaction, and said with great pride like a crazy fan:
"Yes! Our sect leader is a god-like figure! Brother Lu, if you have trouble with money, it doesn't matter. You can go to the construction site in the south of the city to find a foreman named Lao Qi. This man is a close friend of my father. He is waiting for you.
The leg injury is healed, you can live with him for a while, and when we recruit talented people in the future, I, Han Dao, can be your recommender!"
Lu Hui looked dazed, and suddenly heard the word "Give". He looked intently and saw a large bag of spiritual stones in his hand.
"Brother Han... what are you doing?!"
"Ha ha……"
Han Dao smiled casually and said nonchalantly:
"It's just a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. In the past, Han received the favor of the master of the sect and received a hundred thousand. Now he also holds the post of city guard. Before Yuanying, there was no shortage of spiritual stones! Brother Lu, please use it.
, it is important to treat the leg injury and not get to the root of the disease."
Hearing this, Lu Hui's eyes were filled with tears. He was no longer the aloof young master he once was. He didn't have time to carry a lot of money and belongings with him when he ran away. Some of the money and belongings he had had been confiscated when he passed through various checkpoints. Now it can be said that
One is poor and two is white.
He didn't expect that he would meet a good person like Han Dao, who not only allowed him to enter the city, but now also generously donated spiritual stones to him.
In the past, if anyone gave him a thousand spiritual stones, he would definitely think that person was insulting him. But now it is different. He is no longer the aloof young master. To put it more seriously, these thousand spiritual stones are life-saving money.
, who knows whether he will encounter any accident tomorrow and lose his life due to leg injury?
He didn't refuse or say any words of thanks. He immediately turned around and walked towards the south of the city with the spirit stone in hand.
…………
After having breakfast, Zhang Baoer was practicing "Flying Clouds" in the courtyard. This movement technique talks about "seven steps to reach the sky". This is a bit exaggerated, but it also indirectly shows that it is extraordinary.
The speed of these seven steps moving in the air is more than twice as fast as the spiritual transport speed in the Nascent Soul realm. Naturally, it consumes a lot of spiritual power. With Zhang Baoer's current cultivation level, he can only take three steps.
That's why he gave up after practicing it once. This kind of consumption was very uneconomical for him, and the speed was not as fast as "Xiaoyaoyou", which he had first glimpsed.
So after taking a long rest, he once again chose to practice his "Wind Dance Sword Technique".
Unconsciously, the time came to noon, and Lu Ao didn't see any action, so he asked Lan Chen to choose a craftsman.
This group of craftsmen will be one of the core members of the Tianyin Sect, and the confidentiality conditions are naturally extremely strict, so the selection must start in advance - what they are going to do is: bomb.
Zhang Baoer didn't want the method to leak out, so he asked Wende, who had broken his arm some time ago, to resign as a member of the House of Commons and take charge of this matter. He was directly responsible.
The reason why he chose Wende was because he was alone and absolutely loyal - if not for this, there would have been no need for him to fight head-on with the enemy and lose that arm.
The next time, he took Wende back to his house, and then drew some drawings of the utensils for him on the spot and pointed out their functions. Although Wende didn't understand, he listened very carefully, and every word was understood.
He wrote it down.
After he heard that he had been removed from his post as a member of the House of Commons, he felt very sad, but he also figured it out - his combat effectiveness had declined, and he could not convince the public in this position.
But... after hearing that Zhang Baoer's actions were to assign him a big task, the gloom in his heart was gone, and his whole face became radiant. He didn't expect that Zhang Baoer would value him so much. Although he was a little harsh in his demands,
He accepted it without thinking.
In the afternoon, Zhuo Leng came, and Zhang Baoer also talked about the matter, so Wende took a space ring containing 50 million middle-grade spiritual stones from Zhuo Leng with a look of disbelief.
Zhang Baoer patted his shoulder and said:
"If you live up to your trust, leave the realm of God's Mansion to me!"
"yes!"
Wen De burst into tears and subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but Zhang Baoer held him back.
"If you want to thank me, wait until you are promoted to the Divine Palace. Go with Sister Zhuo. She will take you to the underground palace that was urgently built last night. You can refer to the drawings and what I just said to see what else needs to be prepared... Personnel
It is up to you to personally check the issue, and you will not take it if you are not alone. Tell those who are selected that within ten years, I, Zhang Baoer, will provide an unlimited supply of cultivation resources, as long as they fulfill their duties!"
"Wende takes the order!"
"Um……"
Zhang Baoer nodded, thought about it and warned again:
"Remember! There can be no open flames. Only luminous stones can be used for lighting. Safety issues must be taken very seriously and follow the procedures. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the entire Tianyin City may be buried with it!"
"Yes! Master, please rest assured. If something goes wrong, Wen De will come to see you!"
"Go for it!"
It was approaching dinner time, and Liu Ruxi, who had returned to Fenglin Pavilion to take a nap, came as promised, but this time Zhang Baoer did not give her the new recipe immediately, but asked her about the saltpeter.
Liu Ruxi agreed without thinking. It was not a big deal, and besides, they would pay for it.
Although she was curious about what Zhang Baoer wanted to do, she didn't ask any more questions - Zhang Baoer didn't ask about the affairs of Fenglin Pavilion or Wanbao Pavilion. She knew what was right.
After finishing the meal, Lan Chen came to eat and also brought a message to Zhang Baoer:
"Lu Ao gave a final ultimatum to His Highness Wu Sheng, ordering them to move out of Sunset City before noon tomorrow, otherwise... a hundred thousand troops will crush it!"
"One hundred thousand troops?!"
Zhang Baoer suddenly laughed, Lan Chen also laughed and said:
"Yes... that guy, as you expected, forcibly integrated many casual cultivators and people from small forces. Tens of thousands of people escaped from Chaoyang City. They originally planned to come to Tianyin City, but
After hearing that the time for unrestricted entry and exit from Tianyin City would be postponed, many people chose to go to the Eight Hundred Volcanoes, some wandered around, and others embarked on the return journey."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer nodded, and then asked:
"Didn't he recruit some powerful forces?"
"No!"
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Baoer laughed and said:
"This is a good thing!"
"Um?!"
Lan Chen and the others looked puzzled. Liu Ruxi, who was eating stewed meat on the side, curled her lips and said after swallowing a big mouthful of meat:
"He is afraid of those forces with some strength, which shows that his own strength is not too great and he does not want to confront the major forces in the world!"
Lan Chen suddenly realized it, and was about to continue chewing the meat, but suddenly remembered something, and then said with a strange look:
"Sir, General Lu Ba's men are coming to the city again... This time it's not 'asking', it's buying!"
"How many spirit stones?!"
Zhang Baoer immediately became energetic after hearing this, but Liu Ruxi did not give Lan Chen a chance to speak:
"I won't sell it!"
"Ahem..."
"cough!"
…
A group of people almost choked to death.
It was night, Zhang Baoer was a little bored, so after thinking about it, he and Cai'er rode the unicorn horse towards the elixir academy. Dean Hua was busy refining elixirs some time ago. After hearing that the old man had almost used all the medicinal materials, he
I thought of asking him for advice.
What do you want to ask?
Naturally, it was the method of burning fire with spirit stones to make elixirs. He was not interested in alchemy, he just wanted to learn the art of burning fire - he had already tried it and read many books, but still couldn't learn it.
However, after hearing his intention, Dean Hua rejected him:
"No! Although Alchemy and Martial Arts can confirm and complete each other, but... this fire is the soul fire. It must first be refined into the sea of consciousness by the spiritual fire of heaven and earth. An old person would naturally be able to teach it, but you can't! Two old men
Ancestor has already warned me not to teach you the way of soul fire, saying that you should not be half-hearted, and you can make fire out of thin air when you are promoted to a realm above the divine palace."
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that someone had told those two old guys about secretly watching Dean Hua refining alchemy.
Although he was quite unhappy to be supervised, he didn't want to find out who was spying on him. After all, those two old people were doing it for his own good, right?
Zhang Baoer nodded, gave up the idea of studying, and left after inviting Dean Hua and his apprentice to have lunch tomorrow noon.
However, before he arrived at Tianyin Hall, he saw Yinlulu waiting there from a distance, and quickly urged the one-horned horse to speed up.
He stopped his horse and was about to open his mouth to hear the news when he heard Yin Lulu's message:
"Haha... Clan Master Zhang, an old friend invites you!"
"Old friend?!"
Zhang Baoer had a dull look on his face. He seemed to have no connection with the people from Wanhuamen, but Yin Lulu's words didn't seem to be false...
"It can't be Leng Xiaoxi, right?"
With this only possible idea, he followed Yin Lulu towards the Wanhua Palace.
The reason why I think it is Leng Xiaoxi is because this woman has said before that she wants to find a large sect to join, but there is one thing: Leng Xiaoxi has only been away from Luancheng for a few months, how could she reach the level of Ling Yinlulu?
To the point where the Lord has to do all the errands himself?
So he followed her into the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace with a curious heart.
But... as soon as he passed through the main hall and stepped into the inner courtyard through the back door, a hearty voice came from the sky.
"Wei Su, the head of Wanbao Pavilion, heard the name of the saint and came to pay homage!"
Zhang Baoer and Yin Lulu both frowned, and at the same time, a sharp shout from someone from the Tianyin Sect came from the distance:
"Be bold!"
"How dare you come in uninvited!"
"What a courage!"
…
Swish, swish, swish... dozens of sounds of breaking wind sounded from the surroundings, getting closer and closer.
When Zhang Baoer saw a man with a heavy back and a heavy waist wearing a silver robe and two expressionless old men in linen, standing on a room-sized glazed round platform and falling from the air on the grass in front of him, Zhuo Leng and Shi Yi
...Heishan and other nearly twenty Nascent Soul monks also rushed into the courtyard, and there seemed to be some low-level disciples coming from a distance.
Just when everyone was tensely surrounding Changwei, who seemed to have never seen them before, the sharp-eyed Heishan saw Zhang Baoer and Yin Lulu not far behind him, and quickly saluted:
"My subordinates pay their respects to the sect master!"
Zhuo Leng and others also heard the news and saluted one after another.
"Greetings to the Master!"
Zhang Baoer nodded. He originally wanted to continue looking, but after they exposed his existence, he had no choice but to give up - he thought this old friend was using him, otherwise how could the time be so accurate? He had always
Come, Changwei is here too.
He has never seen Chang Wei, and now he can only see his profile. He only knows that he looks about thirty years old, with a smile on his face, and his smile exudes arrogance from the bottom of his heart.
