Chapter 4: Tuoba City
"Mr. Xia, we're here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," said one of the five bodyguards outside the carriage.
This journey can be depressing for Le Chong, he is an eighteen-year-old young man, maybe boys have a little bit of a showy psychology at this age. Of course, this is just Le Chong's far-fetched explanation for his first murder a few days ago.
In fact, he himself was vaguely aware that he did not hesitate at that time, and he did not have that strong sense of discomfort psychologically and physically. This made him afraid and at the same time had a lot of doubts.
Xia Bo Xia Chun changed his casualness towards Le Chong in the past, and became a little respectful, and even called Le Chong "Le Xiaoge" It was inappropriate, and he had to change it to "Le Senior". This surprised Le Chong. "Xia Bo, you are the one who saved my life, besides, even if you didn't save me, you are also my elder according to seniority, and I really can't stand the title of 'Le senior'." Le Chong refused at the time. Xia Chun saw that Le Chong insisted, so he gave up.
However, Xiao Ning's girl became extremely lively, pulling Le Chong to ask this and that along the way. "Brother Le Chong, are you really a cultivator? What is the world of cultivators like? How do you usually cultivate? "She doesn't have any concept of cultivators, some are just curious, so she is not afraid of Le Chong. One question after another made Le Chong one head and two big, so he had to tell Xiao Ning about his experience from childhood to adulthood.
"So that's the case, I didn't expect Brother Le Chong to be an orphan, and he cultivates so hard every day, if Xiao Ning is a cultivator, I don't know if Brother Le Chong is so hard," Xiao Ning clasped his little hand and said, "Then Brother Le Chong, why did you save that big sister?" Isn't the big sister beautiful? Who is more beautiful than Xiao Ning and her? Then Xiao Ning raised his head again and looked at Le Chong innocently.
"Uh... This..."Le Chong was embarrassed, "because my brother is helpful, Xiao Ning will try his best to help people in need in the future." As for the appearance, I didn't see the girl's face at the time, but Xiao Ning is really cute. "I really don't understand why the girl started to care about these things at such a young age.
"Hey, hey." Xiao Ning seemed happy.
*********************
The three of them got out of the carriage, and this was the gate of Tuoba City. "It's as domineering as the name." Le Chong thought about it, turned around and pretended to bow his hand to Xia Chun and said, "Xia Bo, please send me all the way, let's separate here." ”
"Brother Le Chong, you're leaving." Without waiting for Xia Chun to answer, Xiao Ning said anxiously.
"That's right, I'm really embarrassed to trouble Uncle Xia all the time, besides, I'm a big man, and I can't starve to death in this city."
"What's the trouble," Xia Chun hurriedly said, "Little Brother Le, you are also the one who saved the lives of our father and daughter, why don't you stay in the cold house for a few days before making plans." ”
"If you can't do it, I won't trouble you anymore." Le Chong smiled. Along the way, Le Chong saw a few clues, Xia Chun saw that Le Chong was a cultivator and a good person, so he moved his mind to leave Le Chong in the Xia family, and even intended to marry Xiao Ning to Le Chong, so Xiao Ning had been sticking to Le Chong and did not interfere. Le Chong is not a person who likes to be confined in one place, and he only treats Xiao Ning as a sister, so he has been looking for opportunities to prepare to leave. This opportunity has come, and you have to seize it.
Le Chong's repeated excuses made Xia Chun calm down. "Okay, Brother Le insists on leaving, and it's not easy for Xia to force it, but Brother Le must accept these silver and clothes. Brother Le definitely didn't have the currency here when he first came to the Red Dust Continent, and Brother Le, your original clothes have been damaged, which can be regarded as a little gratitude for saving your life. ”
"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, thank you Shabber." Le Chong happily accepted it, people's kindness should not be in vain, and now if Le Chong wants to go by himself, silver and clothes are necessary.
"Brother Nale, there will be a period later." Xia Chun said.
"Brother Le Chong, I'm going to come to see Xiao Ning in the future." Xiao Ning waved at Le Chong.
"Definitely, definitely." Le Chong also smiled and beckoned.
"Tuoba City." When Xia Chun's father and daughter entered the city, Le Chong looked at the city gate and thought, "It seems that a new life is about to start here." ”
*******************************
handed over some silver taels to the guards at the gate, and Le Chong, who carried a small burden, walked into Tuoba City. Dressed in a blue blue robe and half-long hair, Le Chong looked a little nondescript when he walked on the street. Despite his mental preparation, looking at the paved ground with bluestone roads, the small traders and vendors who came and went with or without livestock, and the shops on both sides of the road, Le Chong couldn't help but think, "It really feels like being on TV." "In fact, Le Chong has never watched TV a few times in his life, and the few times he can count on one hand are the opportunities to help people in the village go into the city to buy and sell crops, and I watched it from other people's shop windows." Hey, I don't know how the people in the village will react when they find out that I am gone, and if Xiaozhuang is not in the village, he will be bullied. Le Chong muttered to himself. Then put aside the bad mood and continued to walk along the street.
Tuoba City was very large, and Le Chong looked at the map he had just bought in his hand as he walked. "I guess it's bigger than the county seat closest to the village," Le Chongtu thought as if he had entered the city. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Tuoba City is much better than the county seat of Lechong Village, and Lechong's village is not comparable to each other at all.
Walked into an inn at random and asked for a room, and Le Chong sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Elder Yin, Elder Yin." Le Chong called.
"What's wrong?" Old Yin's voice was lazy.
"You can see things out there, right?" Le Chong asked.
"Then you still need to say, if you can't see it, how do I know that you used a stick?" Old Yin asked rhetorically.
"Then look here," Le Chong pointed to a place on the map and said, the Qianyuan Sect here is clearly marked, it seems that Tuoba City is not far away, do you say that I will go to the apprenticeship gate tomorrow? ”
"Okay, but there are requirements for people to enter the sect." Elder Yin replied.
"What requirements?"
"Below adulthood, your strength breaks through the physical training period and reaches the qi training period," Yin Lao replied, "By the way, the adult here is also eighteen years old, so you are just enough to get started, in other words, if you can get started, your strength is the worst." ”
"Uh..."Le Chong was speechless, "Then should I go buy a weapon now?" It's very insecure to be empty-handed. ”
"That's not necessary, I'll give you weapons after I get started," Yin Lao said, "It's just that the quality is not very good, but you should be able to catch up with you and buy it yourself." What's wrong with keeping this money, in case you don't get selected, and the money buys weapons again, then you won't just stare and drink the northwest wind? ”
"Isn't this entry strong enough, but you must be able to enter?" Le Chong was puzzled.
"What do you say? If you can definitely enter, don't you just need to be a person with enough strength to enter? What's the difference between this and a hotel? Elder Yin was silent for a while, "Each sect has its own entry test, and only those who pass the test can get started." ”
"I see, but anyway, the stronger the strength, the better, I want to seize the time to open the meridians and restore my strength." Then Le Chong closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.
It is really much easier to re-practice things that have been cultivated once, Le Chong has this feeling now, I think when I first got this exercise "Meridian Pass", how did Le Chong hear and feel like the name of which drug, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this "Meridian Pass" can help me open up the meridians of the whole body, but the fly in the ointment is that I can only rely on it to break through to the Voyeur Realm, and there will be no effect at all in the future.
Le Chong ran the exercises, controlling the true qi in the body little by little and trying to open up the blocked meridians, Le Chong first tried to open up the coarse meridians, according to his own idea is "first get the big one and then manage the small one and the vein branch, the big one can be done at will, and the small one can be broken at will." "Although I thought so, Le Chong didn't dare to be sloppy at first, after all, he was a person who had already blocked the meridians, so that he could appreciate how wonderful it felt to have the meridians unblocked." I don't want to do it again. Le Chong thought.
When he opened his eyes, the stars had already appeared in the night sky, and Le Chong carefully felt the situation in his body, "The two major meridians have been opened, and the progress is much faster than before, but it's still not fast enough." "Le Chong is anxious to regain his strength.
"Don't get cheap and sell well," Yin Lao smiled and sarcastically said, "Your speed is already fast enough, according to the frequency of your cultivation, within a year, your strength will be restored." ”
"You old man," said Le Chong, "a year? I wish I could recover in one day now, but it's not bad, it's much better than staying in the Qi training period forever. As he spoke, Le Chong smiled again.
"Hehe, you kid is quite optimistic." Elder Yin said. The relationship between the old and the young seems to be slowly becoming closer in this situation.
After eating something casually, Le Chong walked out of the inn, wanting to take advantage of the time after dinner to take a stroll around the city.
"It's an interesting market, it's only open at night." Le Chong looked at the markings on the map and walked slowly towards the west of the city as instructed.
"There are actually cultivators here." After walking to the bazaar, Le Chong was surprised. If you look closely, cultivators and ordinary people walk differently.
"What's strange about this, although most cultivators have their own cities or regions for cultivators, it is not excluded that this kind of low-end cultivator bazaar is among ordinary people's towns," Elder Yin seemed to be very disdainful of this kind of bazaar, "But for a hairy boy like you, who is a newcomer in terms of strength and experience, this kind of bazaar is enough." ”
Le Chong was obviously accustomed to the blows from Yin Lao, and he didn't even bother to reply.
"The best water-attribute spar is exchanged for a fire attribute spar of the same quality." A middle-aged cultivator shouted.
"Elder Yin, what is a spar?" Le Chong asked.
"Spar is a mineral produced from the mainland, which contains the five elements of true qi required by cultivators, and the attributes of spar required by cultivators who take different routes are naturally different, and spar can also be regarded as a currency circulating among cultivators, and it is used to quickly restore true qi, which cultivator does not have an emergency, so every cultivator needs spar, and according to the quality, that is, the amount and purity of the true qi contained in it, the spar is also divided into four grades: inferior, medium, upper and best." Elder Yin is also unambiguous when answering key questions.
Le Chong nodded and continued to walk forward, whether it was a spar or something of value in his hand, there was nothing, and Le Chong could only come here to see.
"One second-level beast refining red fire pig inner pill, exchange for ten low-grade arbitrary attribute spars or second-grade earth attribute beast refining inner pills." Not far away, a cultivator who was surrounded by many people shouted.
"Elder Yin, what is this Red Fire Pig and Refining Beast? It seems to be very popular. ”
"Refining beasts are a kind of beasts that live on the Red Dust Continent, it should be said that they are high-level beasts, because they are cultivated from ordinary beasts, but there are also beasts that are born to refine beasts, and the Red Fire Pig is a kind of beast refining. There are also levels of beast refining, the first level of beast refining is equivalent to the human body training period, the second level is equivalent to the qi training period, and so on. Elder Yin replied.
"Oh, then what's the use of this Beast Refining Inner Dan?" Le Chong asked again.
"The Inner Pill is the foundation of the cultivation of the Refining Beast, and the only way to obtain the Inner Pill is to kill the Refining Beast and obtain the Inner Pill from its body. The inner dan is different from the spar, the spar is used to restore the true qi, and the inner dan is used to cultivate the true qi, but the requirements for the attributes of the two are the same, for example, this cultivator who sells the inner dan, he must be cultivating the earth attribute mental method, so he can't refine the inner dan of the fire attribute red fire pig, but must be replaced with the inner dan of the earth attribute. Therefore, the Inner Dan of all attributes is more popular with cultivators. Elder Yin replied.
