"This is Tiantian City?" Bai Ran stood on a hillside, looking at the huge city wall several miles away, and said in a low voice.
"How is it? Junior Brother Bai has never seen such a big stone city. This is only possible after the Nine Nations Alliance has expanded several times to reach such a scale. Although I dare not say that it is the number one city in Tiannan, it can definitely be ranked
Ranked among the top five. And the entire city is built with huge rocks, so this is definitely the same family." Lu Luo stood next to Bai Ran and said with the same sentiment.
Bai Ran smiled slightly after hearing this.
Speaking of giant cities, there is no city in the south that can compare to Tianxing City in Luan Xinghai. That is a truly giant-like existence.
Although the Tiantian we saw was a giant city of more than a hundred miles away, it was nothing compared to Tianxing City.
Although Bai Ran didn't take it seriously, Mu Peiling, who was next to him on the other side, looked surprised.
The Shicheng in front of her was obviously quite a shock to this woman.
"However, as soon as we enter the vicinity of Tiantian City, we have to walk here. It's really a bit depressing!" Lu Luo shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction.
Bai Ran pursed her lips before replying:
"There is nothing the Nine Nations Alliance can do. Otherwise, there are so many high-level monks here, and everyone leaves and comes from the sky. They will not be able to manage this city at all. Fortunately, this restriction is very difficult for us Nascent Soul monks like us.
, it’s just a superficial statement. If we really want to fly away, can such restrictions still trap us and curse us?"
"I didn't expect Junior Brother to be so open-minded. Okay, let's go. Maybe if we enter the city earlier, we can gain something!" Since the battle of consciousness with Nanlong Marquis not long ago, Senior Brother Lu said to Bai Ran
Much more warm and friendly than before.
So with Bai Ran smiling and nodding in agreement, the three of them walked down the hillside and headed towards the city gate in the distance.
Because we were near Tiantian City, monks were walking towards the city from all directions. It seemed very popular.
Bai Ran and Lu Luo didn't want to cause any commotion, so they had already concealed their cultivation and looked like they were foundation-building monks similar to Mu Peiling.
Therefore, the three of them easily blended in with the other monks and walked in through the city gate, which was about ten feet high.
Although there were some law enforcement monks from the Nine Nations Alliance guarding the gate of the city, they did not notice anything strange about Bai Ran and others.
Immediately after Khotan City, one can see rows of stone houses arranged neatly.
Between these stone houses, there are long and narrow bluestone streets running through them, as dense as a spider web. There are many people coming and going.
"Let's decide where to live first. However, we don't have to squeeze into any inn with other people. Here, there is a VIP building dedicated to hosting Nascent Soul monks for free. Just go there." Lu Luo had been to Tiantian City once before, and he was quite impressed.
Some old horses said knowingly.
Bai Ran naturally had no objections and took Mu Peiling directly to follow the middle-aged man named Lu.
As a result, Lu Luo took the two of them directly to a corner of the giant city.
After a while, the three of them passed through many streets and finally arrived in front of a white light curtain.
Behind the light curtain, there are many quiet and elegant lofts, with different styles and exquisite exquisiteness.
The other monks passing by outside the light curtain all showed awe and envy when they looked at the attics inside the light curtain.
But they didn't dare to stay any longer and left the place quickly.
"That's it. Only monks above Nascent Soul can open this layer of restrictions." Lu Luo said with a finger, and then moved one hand towards the light screen, and at the same time, a blue light flashed on his palm.
With a "Zila" sound, the white light curtain was opened into a large mouth by Lu Luo's palm full of spiritual power.
The figure flashed and he got in unceremoniously.
The light curtain closed in an instant, incredibly fast.
After Bai Ran was startled, he didn't say much. He opened his mouth and a ball of green light shot out.
After the green light flashed on the white light screen, a hole about ten feet wide immediately shattered.
Bai Ran held Mu Peiling's willow waist with one hand, and with her arms full of fragrance, she led the girl into the light curtain.
Mu Peiling was half-lying in Bai Ran's arms, her face slightly red with embarrassment, and she felt something strange in her heart for a moment.
Seeing Bai Ran breaking through the barrier with ease, Lu Luo's eyes flashed with surprise, but then returned to normal.
"Of these lofts, the Nascent Soul monks can choose any of them with their disciples. However, if the restricted sign lights up outside the loft, it means there are already people there. It is necessary to choose another one. However, not all Nascent Soul monks are willing to come here.
There are some old monsters who would rather live outside the city or in an inn." Lu Luo said while pointing at the attics with a smile.
Sure enough, a small part of the attic already had forbidden light flashing.
"Junior brother! Let's choose these two adjacent lofts so that we can take care of each other if something happens." Lu Luo suggested, pointing to the two lofts fifty or sixty feet away.
"It's just what senior brother said." Bai Ran looked at it for a moment and replied indifferently.
Just when Lu Luo was about to say something else, another nearby attic, shrouded in white and yellow light, suddenly opened its doors and a short figure walked out.
The man glanced at Bai Ran and the others, and immediately said in surprise:
"Hey, isn't this Brother Lu? I didn't expect fellow Taoist to come so early!"
When Bai Ran heard this, he quickly looked over.
This man was white and tender, and looked like a jade boy. He was actually the fire dragon boy that the three sects had seen in the holy land. Now after he said this, his black and white eyes rolled around, and his eyes fell directly on Bai Ran and Mu Peiling.
, a look of astonishment appeared on his little face.
With the fire dragon boy's super memory, he had only met Bai Ran and Bai Ran more than twenty years ago, so he naturally recognized Bai Ran at a glance as one of the disciples in the last sword trial meeting. But now Bai Ran just used
Ordinary skills can conceal one's cultivation, so naturally they cannot hide it from him at the same level. After being startled, he immediately showed a look of enlightenment.
"Haha! It turns out to be fellow Taoist Lan. It's not too early to wait for me to arrive. This time, fellow Taoist arrived first. By the way, this is the new member of our Luoyun Sect, Elder Bai. Junior Brother Bai,
You must have met Brother Lan once, so I don’t need to introduce him!" Lu Luo was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile on his face, as if he had a good relationship with him.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Bai is really the new elder of your sect, and Lan really made a mistake that day." After hearing what Lu Luo said, the Fire Dragon Boy put on a wry smile and said, as if he had no intention of taking seriously what happened that day.
"Bai just heard about the name of the Spiritual Eye Sacred Tree for a long time, so he entered the holy land to take a look. I hope fellow Taoist Lan will not blame you." Although the other party said this, Bai Ran still smiled and explained a little.
"Now that Taoist friends are already elders of Luoyun Sect, there is no need to mention this matter anymore. However, the two Taoist friends came at a coincidental time. I happened to have made an appointment with some familiar colleagues to go to Jinglong Pavilion for a meeting.
It's a small exchange meeting, why don't you two Taoists go there and have a look, maybe you can find something suitable." The Fire Dragon Boy also seemed to be straightforward.
Xing Zi, immediately waved his hand to invite. "There will be an exchange meeting so soon. Tsk tsk, my two senior brothers came at the right time. Junior Brother Bai, there are not many exchange meetings held between Yuanying monks like this, so you must
I went. Otherwise, I might have missed something good." Lu Luo was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately turned to Bai Ran and said solemnly.
"Everything is as Senior Brother Lan said!" Bai Ran's expression remained unchanged, and after a smile, he said calmly.
So below, Bai Ran and the two first set up a ban outside the attic, and then followed the fire dragon boy out of the white curtain again.
After Bai Ran gave a few instructions, he temporarily left Mu Peiling in the attic.
"Jinglong Pavilion was opened by a friend of Lan in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, and this friend of mine has a wide network of friends, both good and evil, and we all have acquaintances. That's why this exchange meeting was organized by him.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone entering must wear a mask to hide their true appearance."
In the clear voice of a child, the Fire Dragon Boy talked about the exchange meeting in detail.
When Lu Luo heard this, his heart moved and he said a little surprised:
"Brother Lan is talking about Master Tianjing. It seems that he is the only one who has such conditions. However, I remember that Master Tianjing doesn't like to get involved in these things. Why did you take the initiative to hold an exchange meeting this time?"
"Hey, I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Lu also knew the reputation of old friend Tianjing. Yes, although my old friend doesn't like trouble, he seemed to be in urgent need of several rare things for a while, but he never found them. It is probably for this reason that he took the initiative to hold an exchange.
I will." The fire dragon boy said with a smile.
"Oh, if that's the case, it's possible for this old man." Lu Luo nodded with some understanding.
Bai Ran was listening quietly to the conversation between the two, his expression always calm.
During the conversation, the three of them arrived in front of an attic that was as white as jade.
This attic has three floors, ranging in size from large to small. There is also a simple silver-edged plaque hanging on the attic door.
Three golden characters "Jinglong Pavilion" were written on it. "This is it. Two Taoist friends, please come in." The fire dragon boy said with a smile at the two of them, and then walked over in a swaggering manner.
As soon as he approached the attic door, Bai Ran casually took a look inside and was startled.
The inside is like an ordinary restaurant. Not only are there many guests eating and drinking, but there are also several well-known waiters, who are constantly shuttling between the tables with plates in their hands, serving all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, and the sound of changing glasses.
came out one after another.
On the side of the attic door, there is also a wooden sign about a foot in size, which reads "This building is covered, outsiders are prohibited" and several other dark and conspicuous words.
"That old ghost Tianjing is playing this illusion trick again, it's true!" But the Fire Dragon Boy muttered a few words to himself, ignored it all, and strode in.
When Bai Ran heard this, his heart moved, and his consciousness swept inside, and a strange look appeared on his face. But he followed without stopping at all.
As a result, as soon as the three of them entered the door, the light in front of their eyes dimmed. The guests, waiter and other figures in the attic immediately disappeared like bubbles, and the noise suddenly stopped.
Bai Ran glanced around casually, and found that everything was empty, surrounded by a faint gray mist. There was only an old wooden table in the middle, and a bronze oil lamp on the table. Behind the oil lamp sat a kind-hearted man.
The gray-robed Taoist priest, about fifty or sixty years old, was looking at the three of them with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Brother Lan not only came by himself, but also brought fellow Daoist Lu. And this fellow Taoist in green robe! The old man is very clumsy. He seems to have never seen him before. Could it be that he is a fellow Taoist who is new to Yuanying?" The gray-robed Taoist smiled.
Finally, he greeted the three of them warmly. This made none of them feel left out, and made people feel a little good about them.
"Brother Tianjing, I brought two uninvited guests. You won't turn them away, right?" A seemingly innocent smile appeared on the Fire Dragon Boy's face, but he said in an old-fashioned tone.
"How could it be? I welcome all colleagues to come here. Besides, Taoist fellow Lu and I are old acquaintances. Only this one..." The old Taoist said with a smile, his eyes lingering on Bai Ran for a moment longer.
"Bai Ran, the Luoyun Sect, is a newly advanced monk. I hope Master Tianjing can give me more guidance in the future." Bai Ran took half a step forward and said with a fist in his hand.
"It turns out that he is a fellow disciple of Fellow Daoist Lu. Tsk tsk, you look like Fellow Daoist is not very old. He will definitely have a bright future in the future." Master Tianjing said with a bright face and kindly praise.
"Okay, old friend. The others are almost here. The three of me also went up to have a look." The Fire Dragon Boy obviously had a close friendship with Master Tianjing and said without any scruples.
"Ahem! Brother Lan is still so impatient. Seventy-eight percent of the people have arrived. I guess some impatient people may have started exchanging with each other up there. Take these two Wuling masks, two fellow Taoists. Brother Lan, what are you still doing?
Do you want it?" After Master Tianjing asked the Fire Dragon Boy specifically, he flipped his hands, and two white lights flashed through, each showing a mask carved from ebony, with runes looming on the surface. At a glance, it was clear that it was not an ordinary thing.
"Hmph! It's not like you don't know. Who doesn't recognize my figure? If I use illusion to transform my figure, how can I hide it from anyone?" After hearing this, the fire dragon boy's cheeks bulged, looking very depressed.
Look.
"That's true. Three fellow Taoists, please come up. The old man will come up in a while." Master Tianjing smiled nonchalantly and threw the mask to Bai Ran and Bai Ran with both hands. At the same time, he fired a white spell.
In the mist behind him, the mist immediately faded, revealing a shining stone staircase leading to the second floor.
The fire dragon boy was not polite, walked around the table without saying a word, and walked directly up.
Lu Luo and Bai Ran bowed before following him.
At this time, Bai Ran had already discovered that the two masks were exactly the same. He couldn't see the difference between the one in his hand and Lu Luo's, so he put the mask on his face without any hesitation the moment he stepped on the stone steps.
The mask was a little cool and soft when it was attached to the skin, but it was as light as nothing and very comfortable. This made Bai Ran a little surprised.
He turned and looked at Lu Luo.
As a result, a cold wooden face appeared in his eyes. He also put the mask on his face.
Bai Ran smiled slightly.
In just a few moments, the three of them had already walked up the stairs to the second floor of the attic.
It was bright and bright inside, and there were hundreds of fist-sized moonstones inlaid on the roof and surrounding walls, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
But what surprised Bai Ran was that the second floor seemed to be several times the area of the first floor. It was exactly the opposite of the attic he saw outside that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
It was so unexpected.
However, the second floor will naturally no longer be empty. Instead, there are tables and chairs placed against the surrounding walls, many of which are occupied by monks with different clothes. Judging from their clothes and hair,
There are men and women, of different ages.
As soon as these people saw the three fire dragon boys coming up, countless cold lights glanced at them at the same time.
However, it was obvious that many people inside knew the Fire Dragon Boy, who had no disguise on his face. His eyes immediately turned into expressions of goodwill, hatred, indifference, etc. Some of them had a hint of cold murderous intent.
I don’t know how they forged such a big hatred against the Fire Dragon Boy that they couldn’t restrain the murderous intention in their hearts.
The fire dragon boy didn't care about this, and took Bai Ran and Lu Luo to find an unoccupied place, and the three of them sat down next to each other.
Only then did Bai Ran look through the mask and carefully scan the other people on the floor.
Because these people are covered by masks, even people with powerful spiritual consciousness such as Bai Ran cannot see their faces clearly, but the spiritual energy fluctuations revealed by each one are undoubtedly Yuanying stage monks. Two of them even have mid-stage Yuanying stages.
However, these two people were sitting alone, one in the south and the other in the north. No other monk dared to sit next to them rashly.
In a small attic, there were more than twenty Nascent Soul cultivators gathered at the same time, which was really shocking.
Bai Ran had never seen such a multi-dimensional infant monster before.
It seems that only at what level of cultivation can one reach a certain level of monks.
With his eyes flashing, Bai Ran suddenly paused in a corner of the attic.
Just as Master Tianjing said, there were already several impatient monks gathered around a table.
Their lips moved slightly to communicate, and from time to time they took out jade boxes and small bottles from their storage bags, and began to exchange on a small scale.
However, except for these monks, most of the others were sitting on chairs with their eyes closed and concentrating, and they were all ready to wait for everyone to arrive before they started exchanging. It seems that what those monks are exchanging now will never be real.
of good stuff.
However, perhaps because they did not want their acquaintances to recognize themselves, all the monks on the chairs remained silent. Occasionally, those who had communication would communicate in secret.
The second floor of the attic was always silent, which seemed a bit weird and depressing.
The Fire Dragon Boy did not wear the wooden mask, so he naturally looked a little eye-catching on the second floor. But among the monks, the Fire Dragon Boy was not the only one who showed his true face.
Just opposite the shoes of Bai Ran and others, there was an extremely fat man, also without the mask. This man's waist was almost three or four times as thick as a normal person's. Sitting there, he even let the wooden chair under him
They were all a little deformed and bent. However, this man looked nonchalant. When he looked at Bai Ran, he even smiled at Bai Ran. But there was too much fat on his face, making it difficult for people to accept his kindness.
Next to the fat man, there was a plump female nun sitting. Although she was wearing a mask and could not see her beautiful face, the mask had a pair of watery and charming eyes, and her glance back was very alluring.
However, none of the monks sitting here are cunning and cunning, and everyone turns a blind eye to this woman's charm, as if they have never seen her.
Just when Bai Ran saw this, Lu Luo's voice transmission came to his ears.
"Junior Brother Bai, be careful. Although the fat man looks harmless, he and the woman next to him are the famous 'Fat and Beautiful Demons' of the Hehuan Sect of the Demon Sect. The two of them join forces through dual cultivation of secret techniques, and can even fight Yuan
The mid-infancy monks are very difficult to contend with. Don't provoke them!"
After hearing this, Bai Ran's heart trembled, and he immediately put these two people on the list of people to be on guard against. He no longer looked at the opposite side, but followed the example of others and sat still with his eyes lightly closed.
After a long period of time, several more Nascent Soul monks came up one after another wearing masks.
When the last person of Master Tian Jing came up, all the monks sitting there opened their eyes and looked over in unison.
Master Tianjing walked directly to the middle of the second floor, then raised his hand and moved to one side. A wooden table was wrapped in white light and was sucked to him, and then he said with a smile:
"It's almost time. All the fellow Taoists who are supposed to come have already arrived. If fellow Taoists have no objections, let's start the exchange meeting."
