A certain courtyard in the Lord's Mansion.

Han Yu, Chongli, Hua Rudong, and Lu Jia were standing here, waiting for the city lord to appear.

All four of them were a little excited and nervous, as they were about to get a map of the Ice Flame Grass, and the efforts they had been working on for all this time were about to bear fruit.

"You're here so soon?" As the voice sounded, the city lord Dugu Zhan appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing Dugu Zhan, the three people except Han Yu couldn't help but become a lot more cautious, and felt an invisible pressure.

This is the city lord of Spirit City, but it is an existence that has surpassed the demi-saint, can they not feel nervous? If Han Yu hadn't spied on the secrets of the demi-saint with the help of that magical stone, he would definitely be as nervous as the other three at this time.

"Huh...... Relax, everyone, I'm not a tiger, I won't eat people. Come on, come on, let's sit down first. The city lord laughed and put on a benevolent look.

Hearing this, everyone sat down, but the atmosphere was still a little depressing, after all, the identity and strength of the City Lord of Lingcheng were too strong.

"I heard that the four of you have a plan to go together to find the Ice Flame Grass, right?" Dugu Zhan said.

"Yes." Han Yu said.

"Let's be honest, although this competition was not held to the end, we agreed that the final winner should be Han Woo. So all we need is a glance at the map. Chongli said.

Hearing this, Dugu Zhan couldn't help but look at Chongli, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "If I say that even if you find the location of the Ice Flame Grass, if you don't have the map in hand as a key, your chance of getting the Ice Flame Grass is almost infinitely close to zero, will you still have such a thought?" ”

Chongli couldn't help but be taken aback, and then his expression became calm again, and said, "I don't know what the two of them think, but for me, this is indeed a regrettable thing. I wish I hadn't done this kind of pretending to be generous in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't be riding like this now......"

As he spoke, Chongli shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, your name is Chongli, right? You're good. But the lord laughed out loud. Because he already knew from Chongli's words that even after hearing the message he said, he knew that he could only return in vain when he came to Lingcheng this time, but he still would not break his previous promise and would let Han Yu get the map alone.

Such a person is really a true gentleman!

"So I'll tell you a little more. You also know that I only have three-quarters of the map in my possession, which means that there is one map that is not in my possession. If you want to get the last map, you can only go to the hidden house, the Lin family. ”

"The Lin family?" All four spoke at the same time.

Han Yu was indeed a question, while the other three were amazed and questioned.

Han Yu hadn't been in this world for a long time, so he didn't know anything about many forces in this world, especially some hidden forces.

But the other three were well aware of this, especially the famous Lin family.

As the most powerful family in this world, although the Lin family is low-key enough, the heavy mark left by the Lin family in history cannot be hidden no matter what.

Even if it is the Seven Great Sects, they will never dare to call the Lin family lightly. This alone can imagine the strength of the Lin family.

At this time, Han Yu couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought flashing in his mind: The Lin family? The people of the Lin family should all be surnamed Lin, right? Wasn't the woman who gave me that magical stone also surnamed Lin and called Lin Xue? I don't know if she is also from the Lin family?

This idea only flashed in Han Yu's mind before he denied it. The world is so big, Han Yu doesn't believe that there will be such a magical coincidence.

But who can say for sure where a wondrous fate will lead you?

Of course, that's all for later.

"City Lord, we ...... How can we get the map in the hands of the Lin family? Chongli frowned and said the question in his heart. Indeed, if the Lin family was not voluntary, who could forcibly obtain something from them?

"Haha...... Of course, you don't have to worry about this. Their Lin family owes me a favor, and when the time comes, as long as you hand over the token I gave you to the people of the Lin family, they will naturally not embarrass you. ”

It turned out that Dugu Zhan was going to go to the Lin family to retrieve the last map, but because something suddenly happened some time ago, he couldn't be separated, so it was delayed until now.

And now, although it shows that there is nothing to see, but a few days ago, the fight with the two supreme forces of the Fengluan clan made Dugu Zhan suffer a lot of injuries, so during this time, Dugu Zhan has to recuperate, and he has no time to bring the map back.

"It's three-quarters of the map." As he spoke, Dugu Zhan flipped over his hand, and a map appeared in his hand.

The route of the map is not very complicated, and you can see the whole map at a glance, but because of the loss of the first map, which is the starting point, everyone can not tell where the destination marked on the map is.

In this way, Han Yu and the other four of them wrote down the map to the terrain, and when they got the last quarter of the map, they would be able to find the Ice Flame Grass!

The city lord said some words of encouragement to the four of them, and finally one of them gave a small stone, saying that with this stone, the people of the Lin family would know that they were the city lord's people.

"Well, that's it. Han Yu stayed, I still have something to say to you. The three of you can go back and rest first. "The lord of the city gave an order to send off guests.

In this way, Chongli and the other three left.

"I said that the winner of this tournament will get a big reward from me. Although the final competition was not completed, the three of them agreed that you were the champion, and I owe you a great favor for this Lingcheng matter, so I will give you a reward," said the Lingcheng City Lord.

"It's a shape-proof bead. Your aura has already been recognized by the Fengluan clan, so if you want to avoid their pursuit, you can only hide your aura. But with your current cultivation realm, it is still difficult to do this for the time being. This form-dodging bead will help you hide your aura.

You carry it with you, and even I, even in person, will not recognize you. ”

As he spoke, Dugu Zhan flipped his hand, and a bead appeared on his hand.

It is a pearl-like bead, very crystal clear, and exudes a faint moisture.

Han Yu stretched out his hand and took the beads, and immediately felt that something had changed in his body, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in something.

Then, all of a sudden, the feeling disappeared as if nothing had just happened.

Han Yu was a little confused, so he just wanted to ask, but the city lord stopped Han Yu and continued, "I know that you have a magical stone on you. ”

Hearing this, Han Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

It can be said that Han Yu's greatest reliance, or that every time he is in the most dangerous time, he can turn evil into good fortune, is completely because of that magical stone. And now the city lord actually knows that he owns the stone, and his secret is known!

If the city lord can know all this, does it mean that those powerhouses of the demon clan also know? Isn't it dangerous to be so yourself?

"You don't have to be afraid. In fact, those people of the demon clan also knew about the existence of that stone. But now they probably don't have any interest in the stone. Because your stone has lost all his aura and has truly become an ordinary stone. ”

The city lord broke the word and told the truth of the matter.

"But ......," said the city lord, and the city lord said again, and a worm with a golden glow appeared in his hand.

"This is ......" Han Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he felt a powerful and sacred aura from that bug.

"It's a bug called "Tonic Worm". As the name suggests, this insect has the effect of remedying stones, he can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then according to the induction of the stone, spit out some substances to fill in the missing things in the stone. Keep it safe. Maybe one day, some miracle will happen, and this bug may or may not bring your stone back to life......"

Han Yu had never heard of such an insect, but with a glimmer of hope, he hurriedly put the insect into the spatial ring and let the insect lie on top of the stone.

Then the city lord waved his hand and said, "Okay, these are the two things I want to give you, you can go back." Also, you don't need to come and say goodbye to me when you leave. ”

As he spoke, the city lord had disappeared in place.

Han Yu couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the shape-avoiding bead in his hand, and whispered to himself: "No, the city lord of the dignified Spirit City, a peerless powerhouse, actually gave me only these two things?" How can you be so stingy?

It's not as generous as the dead old man in Ice King Mountain. At least that dead old man gave me a dry fruit, and then gave me a lot of life fruits and swords and other things. ”

Chattering like this, Han Yu flipped his hand and took out the dry fruit from the spatial ring.

The effect of this fruit, even now, Han Yu still can't tell it, he only thinks that it is a useless fruit. But because he thought that this was something that the strange old man had given to him, and maybe it would have some effect, he kept it.

In this way, he glanced at the dry fruit that looked like a hornet's nest again, and Han Yu withdrew it into the spatial ring. Then he walked home with a depressed mood all the way, while nagging the city lord's miserliness.

If someone who knows the goods hears what Han Yu said at this time, he should be directly angry, right?

Still stingy? That's a shape-avoiding bead! That's a shape-avoiding bead that even God can deceive! How many demon clans have died fighting for this shape-avoiding bead?

Even if the wealth of the entire Spirit City is combined, it is definitely less than one-tenth of the value of this form-avoiding bead.

You must know that with such a bead, as long as the person concerned is willing, even the gods will not want to find him. In other words, as long as the person is hiding, as long as he is not unlucky enough to go to his grandmother's house, even if the whole world is against him, he will never let anyone find him!

Sending such a bead, is it a pity?

And that "stone bug". Do you know what the most expensive thing in this world is? Not a force that can destroy everything, but a power that can repair everything.

The power that can destroy a city is not as important as the power that can repair a tenth of a city. Isn't it easier to destroy than to build?

And now this "stone mending worm" can actually repair that magical stone, isn't such a thing precious?

"Huh? Han Woo? Are you Han Woo? Uncle, why don't you have any breath coming out of your body? Could it be that your cultivation has improved again? Uncle, uncle, I've been practicing hard for so long, and I haven't improved, how can you improve again and again? ”

The fat man and Han Yu came to meet head-on, but they still didn't feel a trace of Han Yu's breath.

Han Yu, who had been scolding the city lord for being stingy in his heart just now, couldn't help but light up at this time, and said in his heart: I can't think of any rotten beads, it really has some effect. Even a fat man who knows me so well doesn't feel my presence.

However, the Dead City Lord was really a little stingy, and even gave me only these two things......

Thinking of Han Yu, who only had these two things on his body, he couldn't help but curse the city lord in his heart again.

On the other side, in the City Lord's Mansion, Dugu Zhan couldn't help but sneeze loudly, and said to himself: "Who is talking about me?" Ay...... I shouldn't pretend to be generous, I just gave away those two things, ah...... I feel sorry for me......"

I really don't know if Dugu Zhan, the city lord who is so distressed, will be angry to death after learning that Han Yu is scolding him for being stingy.
