Chapter 649: Searching
The moment she stepped out of the Thunder Mansion, Lin Haoxue couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. In the Lei Mansion, she was basically in a state of cultivation, and the waiting process had already been half a year, and in these half years, she did not rashly use her ring space, so as not to attract the attention of others and bring disaster to herself. is just cultivating in a simple bedroom, although the aura is very sufficient, but compared to Lin Haoxue's own ring space, the progress is much slower, so when she was half a year, she only reached the realm of the peak of the Emperor, and did not break through to the Emperor.
And in the Lei Mansion, she has always been in a cautious state, and now that she has left the Lei Mansion, although it is still the territory of the Lei Supreme, it is different from being under the noses of others, so she can naturally breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the direction in front of her, Lin Haoxue decided to go in the opposite direction of the Thunder Mansion, to the south of the Thunder City. In the City of Thunder, the northernmost part is where the Thunder Mansion is located, and naturally there are no other people living there. In the City of Thunder, it is inevitable that there are some cultivators with ordinary strength, their strength is ordinary, and of course their residences are also ordinary, which is quite a civilian area with ordinary people. On the east and west sides of the Thunder City, there are some high-strength families living there. Although they were of equal strength, the people who lived in the east and west hardly interacted with each other, because they had different origins and different concepts, and those who lived in the east were equivalent to the children of the family, and those who lived in the west were the rise of the commoners.
Lin Haoxue chose to go to the south, this is a civilian area, so it will not be too eye-catching, and naturally it is more convenient to do anything. Moreover, she felt that if her father was in the City of Thunder, then there was a good chance that he would be south of the City of Thunder, and the chances of them meeting would naturally be better.
Because she had concerns in her heart, she didn't dare to look for people with as much fanfare as in the territory of the Thunder Supreme. So she was going to find a quiet place to live first, and then go out to find news about her father.
With such a thought, Lin Haoxue came to a plain and simple looking inn and stopped.
"This young lady, do you need anything?" Seeing Lin Haoxue appear in front of his shop, a cultivator dressed like Xiao Er greeted him and asked earnestly.
Lin Haoxue glanced at the little er, and saw that he was also a strong man whose strength had barely reached the realm of the king, Lin Haoxue sighed slightly, in the middle realm, people with low strength naturally have no status, whether it is the little girl named Huancui, or the shopkeeper in front of him, they can only spend their time on ushering in. But think about it, these things always have to be done by someone, so why should I be sad here.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Seeing Lin Haoxue's slightly contemplative appearance, the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.
"Oh, it's nothing, I want to stay in the hotel, how can I charge for it?" Lin Haoxue came back to her senses, nodded to the shopkeeper, and said.
"Stay a month for a superb stone. Xiao Er explained to Lin Haoxue.
"The best essence stone is used here, not a contribution point?" Lin Haoxue asked a little surprised.
"Of course it's not a contribution point. The little second looked at Lin Haoxue, and there was envy in his eyes.
"Why is this?" Lin Haoxue was a little puzzled, she didn't understand the rules of the various supreme jurisdictions in the Middle Realm, and she didn't understand why this junior second looked at her with envy.
"This young lady, you don't know, in fact, in every jurisdiction managed by the Supreme, the most important thing is the best essence stone. Seeing the doubts on Lin Haoxue's face, the junior second smiled and explained to Lin Haoxue, "In different Supreme Jurisdictions, there are different ways of doing things. Some Supremes distribute contribution points to their subordinates, and the best essence stones are borne by the supreme people. And some supremes are unwilling to bear it, so let all the people under his jurisdiction work together to find a way to earn the best essence stones. If you were in a region where you used to use contribution points, it can only mean that the people who live in that supreme's jurisdiction are more lucky. ”
"I see. Lin Haoxue nodded, made a sudden realization, and then thought about it again, "Then what are your methods to earn the best essence stones?"
"This, the most common is to find a place with sufficient spiritual energy, and condense the spiritual energy there into a superb essence stone. However, this is not so easy to condense, if you condense the best essence stone, then naturally there will be no time to cultivate, generally speaking, those who respect the gods and emperors are much faster to condense, but the king and the emperor are much slower. As for ordinary Venerables, they can't be condensed at all, and naturally they are slave-like existences, and it takes half a year for a Venerable King like us to condense a piece of the best essence stone. ”
Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on the face of the little second.
"Alright, I'll stay for five months for the time being. Lin Haoxue understood, and no longer continued to ask, but nodded and said to the little er.
Her next time was not spent on cultivation, but on finding people, and she would not be in retreat for a long time, so it was nothing to stay in the hotel for a short time. But that's it, the little second is already very happy, and he greeted Lin Haoxue very politely: "Then the young lady is invited! ”
Soon, Lin Haoxue settled in this small shop, and the furnishings in this small shop were naturally relatively simple, which could not be compared with the Lei Mansion where Lin Haoxue lived before. However, in addition to the bed, table and chairs in the upper room where Lin Haoxue lives, there is also a futon placed on the ground, which should be used for meditation and cultivation.
In addition, Lin Haoxue felt that the aura here was also very weak, even less than one-tenth of the Lei Mansion. However, Lin Haoxue didn't take this to heart, the aura she needed for cultivation didn't rely on these in the first place, it was enough for her to have her own ring space.
After paying the best essence stone, watching Xiao Er leave this house, Lin Haoxue sat down on a chair in this guest room and fell into deep thought. Naturally, she was looking for her father, but where would he be? She pondered for a moment, and without the slightest clue, she decided to go out on her own.
Because this is a civilian area, Lin Haoxue deliberately restrained her breath, so she didn't attract too many people's attention. When Lin Haoxue went out, she deliberately took out the jade plate that Lin Xingwen had left for herself from her storage bag, wanting to see if she could sense her father's breath, but unfortunately, she didn't sense her father's breath. Reluctantly put away the jade plaque, she knew that the breath left by her father on it had completely dissipated, and she naturally couldn't sense her father's breath. Now, you can only find it in the most ordinary way.
"Excuse me, do you know Lin Xingwen?" Lin Haoxue casually grabbed a person passing by and asked, and the answer she got was no. Then, Lin Haoxue asked several more people, and they all shook their heads blankly. It seems that it is impossible for ordinary people to know the news of their father, so they can only look at those who are proficient in information to see if they can get any useful information.
The next day, Lin Haoxue continued to go out for a walk, but she didn't ask random people like she did on the first day, but walked around the alleys in the southern district and was familiar with everything here.
After wandering around like this for a few days, Lin Haoxue already understood that the name Lin Xingwen was a very unfamiliar name here, and no one knew this name at all, Lin Haoxue was gradually a little disappointed, she thought of a possibility, that is, her father did not appear with his real name, but was incognito in a certain place, so no matter how she inquired, she would basically return in vain.
She also gradually extinguished the idea of using this aimless method to find her father.
On this day, Lin Haoxue continued to wander the streets, but instead of walking casually as before, she walked straight towards a small door that looked shabby.
At this door, Lin Haoxue did not go in, but stood outside. Her mind gently invaded the small door, taking in the two people who were talking inside.
"Well, my message will not be wrong. A short, thin-looking man lowered his voice.
"Well, your news is good, I'm satisfied, this is a fine stone for you. Opposite the man was a man who had covered himself in a black robe, and his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"Good! good!" The short and thin man took the few finest stones with a smile on his face, and said in his mouth, "Thank you, my lord, if you have any other inquiries in the future, just come to my grandson." ”
"Hmm. The man in the black robe hummed in a low voice. It seemed that he was about to retract his hand that had already handed out the best essence stone. However, just as he was about to retract, he suddenly pointed like a knife and suddenly struck at the chest of the short thin man named Sun San. At that moment, he was merciless, he wanted the life of your short and thin man. And that Sun San seemed to have expected it, and suddenly disappeared from the front of the black-robed man at this moment.
Seeing Sun San escape from his men and disappear without a trace, the black-robed man also seemed to be taken aback, but he didn't stay where he was, but quickly left the dilapidated room. His steps were quick, and he hurried away.
And when he got to the door, he naturally didn't see Lin Haoxue, who was waiting here, but used an invisibility spell array.
Watching the black-robed man leave here, Lin Haoxue turned around and walked out of the place where she was standing slowly, looked at the dilapidated room with a smile, and then pushed the door in.
