Judging from this arrangement, this city lord's plan is not small, and there must be some ulterior secrets. While Li Xiao was carefully inspecting the entire City Lord's Mansion, the little corgi next to him suddenly bit off Li Xiao's robe, and then turned his head to look in one of the directions, his eyes full of excited expressions. Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately guessed that it should be the little corgi who sensed the location of the Nine Yang Fire.

When Li Xiao followed Corgi's gaze, he found that the direction it was looking at was a small courtyard. Through Li Xiao's investigation before, that courtyard was the location of a hidden formation. It's just that this formation is not an attack formation, nor is it a defensive formation, but a monitoring formation for anti-reconnaissance. This anti-surveillance formation is more sensitive than the induction in other places, and even Li Xiao didn't dare to touch it easily, so he deliberately forced this place away when he was investigating before.

Now that he knew that the Nine Suns Fire was here, Li Xiao could only take a risk. However, for the sake of safety, he retreated to the corner of the wall first, and was always ready to evacuate before he began to observe with his divine sense.

The small courtyard is not large, there is only one room, and the other three directions are passages. The four corners of the courtyard are planted with flowers and plants, and the ground in the middle is paved with bluestone bricks, and the hidden monitoring formation is under the bluestone slab. This also means that there is no passage under the bluestone slab in the garden, so it is obvious that the secret room is in that house.

At this time, it was already pitch black in the room, and when Li Xiao had just detected his divine sense at the door of the room, he did not rush to probe his divine sense, but summoned a gust of wind to blow the dead leaves and soil in the flower bed towards the door. Soon, Li Xiao was glad for his careful move.

At first, nothing happened after the flowers and rubble hit it, and it didn't set off the alarm or anything. But Li Xiao, who was always paying attention, still saw a hint of end. When the dead leaves of the flowers and plants turned up, there was nothing, but when one of the little finger-sized dirt touched them, Li Xiao found that at that moment, a trace of fine ripples like the surface of the water appeared in the place where they collided, as if the house was under the surface of the water.

Seeing this, Li Xiao sighed. What a mirror. No wonder the other party dares to put such an important thing in it. If you want to enter this house, you need special props to open it, and if you break in, even if you enter, you will enter the illusion, not really enter it. Even with Li Xiao's formation attainments, it was difficult to enter without being discovered.

It would also be very difficult to use the Divine Consciousness to invade, because in that case, even the Divine Consciousness of the Divine Transformation Stage Cultivator would definitely touch the detection formation outside. It's almost a set of serial certificates. It's just that I don't know why, Li Xiao always has a feeling that this house is not a real entrance, but more like a trap. But Xiao Corgi's induction will definitely not be wrong, which also makes Li Xiao doubt his guess. It seems that you can only find a way to enter that room to know.

If you want to enter that room, there are only two ways to break in, one is naturally to get the props to open the room, according to Li Xiao's guess, it should be a small trinkets such as jade pendants. This kind of thing must be on the city lord himself, and the city lord himself is a monk in the late Yuan Infant period, and it is almost impossible to steal it from him. So only the second method can be chosen. It's just a matter of having to do a little more preparation.

The next day, after Li Xiao asked for a clear direction, he went straight to the city of Fang City. After a morning of shopping, I finally bought everything I needed. Looking at the magic stone bag that had been completely flattened, Li Xiao felt a pain in his heart. Before he saw the fire of the nine yangs, he had already consumed his magic stones, and if he still didn't get the fire of the nine yangs in the end, then he would lose a lot.

Just as Li Xiao was about to leave Fang City and go back to prepare what he needed for the night walk, a group of quarrelsome people blocked his way. Originally, Li Xiao didn't want to care about these things, so he just took a detour and walked away. But the topic of their quarrel attracted Li Xiao.

One of the middle-aged demon men yelled at a young demon man who looked like a stall owner: "You rabbit cub, you dare to play Lao Tzu, this one you sold to Lao Tzu is not a ghost turtle egg at all, just a hard stone that doesn't know why it has a heartbeat." Originally, Lao Tzu also wanted to dedicate this to the master, so that he could use it as a tribute to the city lord on his birthday. Fortunately, Lao Tzu found out early and didn't hand it over to the master, otherwise, he would have to be skinned. You say, how do you want to accompany me, if you don't make it clear, Lao Tzu will send you back to the West today. As he spoke, he put on a posture of wanting to make a move.

The young stall owner didn't look worried about the second at all, one was that his own strength was almost the same as the other party, and the other was that he couldn't fight in the market, otherwise he would be expelled or even killed on the spot. But the stall owner still said: "Send me back to the West?" Then you can try to see if you die first, or if I die first." When you come here to buy something, you don't know the rules. The goods will not be returned or exchanged. And the things here are all strange things, buying them is gambling, and you don't know the goods yourself and blame others. If I were you, I would honestly suffer this loss, and I should buy a lesson. Remember to wipe your eyes off the bright spots next time. ”

Li Xiao didn't care about the words behind the two, and he heard two things that interested him from the mouth of the man in front of him. One is the city lord's birthday, since so many people are going to give gifts, when the time comes, there will be a lot of people who will be transferred to maintain the scene, and the manpower in the house will definitely be empty. That's when I had my best chance to make a move.

As for the second thing of interest, Li Xiao carefully looked at the round stone the size of a human head in the middle-aged demon's hand, and at the same time, his divine sense also carefully probed it, and found that this thing was indeed the thing he had heard of.

At this time, the two were already arguing, but the middle-aged man was obviously at a loss, and now he was almost unreasonable. And the stall owner across from him was still fearless. At this moment, Li Xiao spoke, and he asked, "You said that there is a heartbeat in this stone, can you show me?"

Suddenly, I heard someone interjecting, and the people around me turned their heads to look. After discovering that he was actually a strong man in the middle of Jindan, the stall owner originally wanted to say not to meddle in his affairs, but now it is difficult to speak. After all, he and the middle-aged man were only monks in the early stage of Jindan.

After taking the stone respectfully handed over by the middle-aged demon clan, Li Xiao pretended to examine it carefully, and then asked: "This stone is quite interesting, I am very interested in this strange thing, if you think it is useless, why don't you sell it to me at a low price?" ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, the middle-aged man who just felt that this dumb loss was about to be decided, was overjoyed, and he was afraid that Li Xiao would change his words and immediately said: "I originally bought this stone at the price of a turtle egg, and I bought three thousand magic stones. Now sell you at a discount, what do you think of fifteen hundred low-level magic stones?" said and looked at Li Xiao nervously.

Hearing this price, Li Xiao frowned. At this time, he only had less than two thousand magic crystals left in his space bag, and if he gave them all, then he would really be poor. So he said, "One thousand and five is too expensive, and I can only give you a thousand." If you're willing, just close the deal. ”

The man thought about it, and it would be a loss to put it in his hands anyway. But he was worried that this was a treasure, but he didn't know it. However, when Li Xiao showed an impatient expression, the man immediately agreed.

After successfully completing the transaction, the man took the magic stone in his hand, and finally did not hold back his curiosity, and asked: "This fellow Daoist, dare to ask if you know what the origin of this thing is, and what does it do?"

Li Xiao looked away and said: "Actually, I don't know, I just want to take it back and study it, I have never seen such a strange thing." I don't know if it's going to be useful, maybe at some point. It's also gambling. Hearing Li Xiao say this, the man had the expression that Li Xiao was a local tyrant, but in the end he didn't say anything more and turned to leave. Seeing this, the others did not stay and dispersed. It's just that looking at Li Xiao is like looking at a fool, and only a few people have doubts about it, including the stall owner.

At this time, seeing that everyone had dispersed, the stall owner suddenly said to Li Xiao: "This Taoist friend bought this, I'm afraid he knows what it's for, right? I don't know if I can tell Zaixia, Zaixia is willing to pay a high price to buy this news." ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao smiled. I thought, this guy has a good calculation. This is certainly not the only place where this kind of stone appears, and if he knows the purpose of this stone, he will definitely be able to sell it for a good price when the time comes. It's a pity that since Li Xiao knows the purpose of the thing, he naturally knows this secret. So while casually looking at some small things in front of the stall owner, the voice replied: "It's not impossible for me to tell you, but you also have to tell me where you got this thing." There must be more than one place where it appears. ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, the stall owner was finally sure that the other party must know the purpose of this thing and how to use it. But if you let the other party know the place, then you will definitely lose a lot in the end, you can think that there are so many such stones there, even if you lose a part, you can still get a lot, after all, the other party can't take them all. Thinking of this, the stall owner nodded. gave Li Xiao a message, then packed up his things and left Fang City. And Li Xiao also left after a turn.
