On the road, Tong Yan was playing with the jewelry she had just bought. There were many people walking on the long street. She was too focused and almost bumped into someone accidentally.
"You like it very much?" After seeing her trying to step on someone's heel for the third time, Gu Yuqi finally spoke up.
Hearing his voice, Tong Yan paused slightly, and continued to browse, and said casually, "I like it, the workmanship is exquisite, and it's quite interesting."
Gu Yuqi glanced at the thing in her hand, lowered his eyes and said, "Put it away first, we are going in."
He was referring to entering the Prisoner Dragon Tower, firstly to gain experience, and secondly, to temporarily avoid the endless pursuit.
Since he betrayed his master, many reward orders suddenly appeared from all sides. The bounty was so huge that it drove many casual cultivators and desperadoes to pursue him non-stop for three months.
With so many people to kill, and also having concerns, Gu Yuqi could only avoid the danger for the time being, and chose to enter the Tiantong secret realm, using the feature of this secret realm to survive thunder tribulations, and increase his strength as soon as possible.
"Yeah." Shang Xun's face flashed through her mind quickly, and Tong Yan lowered her head and responded. They were already here, and it was impossible to go to Penglai again. She could only move forward.
No one knew where the monks who had accepted the reward were hidden around, but as long as she ran out of Sifang Town, within a quarter of an hour, she would be surrounded and hunted by these people.
Some people wanted to get Gu Yuqi's location out of her mouth, and there were also some people who boldly speculated that she had killed him and wanted to get a piece of the action.
All in all, she was tied to the same boat as Gu Yuqi, and she just lacked the ability to protect herself like him. In the short term, she had no other choice but to stay with him.
With a slight sigh in her heart, Tong Yan prepared to put away her things and concentrate on walking. Maybe after this experience, she could also improve to a small level. When the time comes, she will be able to advance or retreat when encountering the golden elixir monks blocking the road.
Just as he was about to put it away, Gu Yuqi suddenly said, "Give me the thing."
"?" Tong Yan was confused, but he handed the things over as he was told.
After Gu Yuqi took the things over, he said emphatically: "This is my thing."
After hearing this, Tong Yan's face turned red, and she looked at him with an expression that was hard to describe. She snorted with disdain, glanced at him and said, "I'm paying you back? That's rare."
Seemingly calm, but actually feeling embarrassed in her heart, she had just assumed that the things he bought were for her.
People really can’t be too narcissistic!
Gu Yuqi ignored her words or showed no attention on his face. He held the jewelry in his hand high and looked at the light twice. Then he casually held it with his palm and pinched it to deform it.
Tong Yan was still feeling depressed, but out of the corner of his eye he saw him raise his hand. He turned around and saw the deformed jewelry turning into ashes and falling from his hand under the influence of spiritual power.
Seeing her looking over, Gu Yuqi said calmly, "I don't need to keep these common things that are of no use to me."
"..." Tong Yan was speechless for a moment, looked at him incomprehensibly and said, "Why did you buy it if it's useless? Just to pinch it?"
Then he shook his head: "I'm sorry that I can't understand the brain circuits of you losers."
Gu Yuqi didn't answer. Instead, he thought about it and said to her, "If you like these? I'll take you to Shuyun Pavilion next time."
Shuyun Pavilion is a shop that only sells women's products, including cassocks, earrings, lipstick bracelets, and everything from head to toe.
It is equivalent to a famous brand that is well-known to women and children in modern times. Gu Yuqi only knew about it from Xu Juren's mouth.
Tong Yan naturally knows about such a famous store. It should be said that every female cultivator here knows that the products produced by Shuyun Pavilion are absolutely exquisite, with novel styles and unique workmanship, and have always been leading the trend in the world of cultivation.
Famous brands, or one of the few top brands, cannot avoid being expensive. The price of Shuyun Pavilion is enough to make most female nuns sigh.
"It's not necessary." The things in Shuyun Pavilion often put a lot of effort into their appearance, but their practicality is not that good, and their prices remain high. Tong Yan thinks that some of them are not worth the money.
She could afford it herself, but she didn't have to.
"It's up to you." Seeing that she didn't seem to like it, Gu Yuqi stopped saying it. He saw what Xu Juren had done before and said it. Once it didn't work, he couldn't think of what to do next.
As expected, he is more comfortable practicing.
…
Because Tiantong Secret Realm does not have any cultivation restrictions, so many monks come here every year to practice. The two stone pavements leading to the Dragon Prison Tower have been trampled on for many years and are extremely smooth.
From the beginning to the end of the stone road, there are two or three small stalls set up at regular intervals. Those are monks who came here before to practice.
The same person can only enter the Dragon Prison Tower once a year, and the maximum time limit is three months. After coming out, you can only wait until the second year to enter.
Many monks are too lazy to travel back and forth, so they will live temporarily in Sifang Town for a few years, selling some things in exchange for some spiritual stones to continue practicing in their spare time.
The Qilong Pagoda is only a few dozen meters high, and its simplicity and historical heaviness come from every brick and tile.
The body of the tower is covered with mysterious lines and runes, giving it a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored. The top is vaguely shrouded in golden light, like being bathed in holy light, making people involuntarily feel yearning and awe.
Without much delay, the two of them passed through the dense crowd and went straight into the tower.
The first floor is similar to a library, with many bookshelves placed in the middle. There are protection restrictions everywhere, making it an absolutely safe area.
All monks can safely carry out shallow consciousness cultivation here, such as enlightenment.
The main thing is that if you use swords and guns, you will be banned to a large extent and thrown out without discrimination, and you will have to wait a year before entering again.
Gu Yuqi led people to the entrance of the second floor. Before entering, he asked Tong Yan something.
"Where is the Key to the Shattering Moon? Take it out."
She had simply refined Suoyue a long time ago and then left it in the corner without caring about it. Now it took her some time to find it. "What to do."
Gu Yuqi got the thing and asked the star spirit to add an additional mark.
When he handed it back, he wrapped the chain with the key tightly around her hand.
Instructions word for word: "After entering, if we are not in the same location, don't run around and wait for me to find you."
His force was a bit strong, and the thin chain pinched Tong Yan's skin until it turned a little red.
She wanted to withdraw her hand and take off the key chain, but she was unable to break free from Gu Yuqi's grasp. She raised her eyes and wanted to ask someone to let her go, but he stared at her, as if he had to look at her and nod.
When the words came to my lips, I had to change my words, "I know, let go."
After his hand was free, Tong Yan immediately went to untie the thin chain on his hand. Gu Yuqi frowned and did not stop him. He just emphasized it again.
"Take it with you."
After a while, he handed over a book and said, "Whatever you want to know, it will tell you."
Before that, Tong Yan asked him why he was being hunted, but he didn't answer at that time.
This book, which records all the major events that have happened in the world of cultivation in the past six months, can just answer her questions.
There must be a bookstore in Sifang Town. Tong Yan has never been there. He obviously bought it after Gu Yuqi left just now.
Why didn't he tell her in person instead of telling her in such a troublesome and confusing way?
