Chapter Fifty-Three: To the Stubborn State
Xue Yuan, who left Lingling City and headed south, hurried quickly, and did not dare to stay longer when passing through Moling City, where the Li family's family was located in the center of Cangzhou.
Moling City is not only the Li family, but also the people of the Feng family, and ...... Motoru who stayed there.
Although he didn't dare to stay longer in Moling City, and only walked by, Xue Yuan still saw Yuan Che in a hurry.
He didn't bring an entourage to escort him, and only walked slowly on the streets of Moling City alone.
Today's Yuan Che is nearly two hundred years old, but he looks like he is just an ordinary person, wearing a simple cyan robe, no pendants on his body, his eyebrows and eyes are always smiling, and the corners of his mouth have never completely fallen off the street to maintain a soft smile, which sets off his face and eases down.
Xue Yun thought that if she hadn't started from the Loucheng in Chenzhou and knew the true face of this Yuan Che True Monarch, I was afraid that she would be like most of the monks and even ordinary people in Moling City, and she would be extremely blessed with this Yuan Che True Monarch who looked so approachable and had no shelf
Xue Yuan remembered that the one from Wen Xianqi was called Shangguan Ming's predecessor.
Perhaps, the Shangguan family back then was completely deceived by Yuan Che's appearance.
Xue Yuan didn't look at it for too long, and left in a low-key manner with only the work of the tea, but it was the work of this tea that made her heart more and more heavy.
Even when he saw the statue of Yuan Che standing all over the city in Xiangcheng, Chenzhou, Xue Yuan's heart was not so heavy.
Moling City, on the territory of the Li family in Cangzhou, most of the monks in the city knew Yuan Che, and their attitude towards him was very respectful and close. And Yuan Che is really doing a very good job, no matter who he is, he is humble and polite, and he smiles.
Looking at the back of Yuan Che talking and laughing with another monk who met on the road, listening to the occasional praise for this Yuan Che Zhenjun, the envy of the Li family sister who was looked down upon by Yuan Che Zhenjun, and the blessing of the two of them "making a match...... Xue Yun pursed his mouth tightly and clenched his fists, finally understanding Li Yanran.
At this moment, she also understood that before taking Li Yanning to "escape" to Lingling City under the instruction of the Li family, with Li Yanran's temperament, how much willpower it would take to endure it, and she didn't whip Yuan Che on the street.
However, Li Yanran didn't do anything, and Xue Yun didn't know what to do.
Moling City was not a place where she could stay for a long time, and after this hurried meeting, Xue Yuan re-embarked on the southbound road.
Without Xiao Luo's company, this time she was in a hurry, and she walked a lot harder than before, and she was ...... Loneliness is a lot.
Before Zhou Yan appeared, Xue Yuan, who had just left Mianzhou, was a little depressed, if it weren't for Xiao Luo's guidance and gags from time to time along the way......
After leaving Moling City for a long time, Xue Yuan couldn't help but turn around and face the north, although she was looking at the gate of Moling City in front of her, what appeared in her mind was the stone gate of another city thousands of miles away.
Her fingers couldn't help but move, but unfortunately, nothing was pinched.
With a sigh, she turned around, and there was no road ahead, only herself.
But she knew that somewhere behind her, there was someone to heat her and someone to help her.
That's it, it's good......
......
Soon after leaving Cangzhou, the Xue people appeared in another state capital south of Cangzhou, Naozhou.
It is one of the two southernmost states in the mainland of Kyushu, slightly larger than the adjacent Miaozhou, but the mountains and mountains are dense in the state, and there are not many people.
Nayan Prefecture is another state capital with top forces stationed in the Great Thousand Realms and Kyushu, and the largest force in the territory of Naughty Prefecture is the Yin Sect.
Although according to Zhou Yan's words, he saw Shangguan Miao in the south of Cangzhou at the beginning, but according to the direction of Shangguan Miao's situation at that time, even if he arrived near the border of Cangzhou, he still had no intention of staying, and most of them would not stay in Cangzhou.
So, it's understandable. Yuan Che is a guest of the Feng family, backed by the Feng family, and the interests of Qingyun Dan have tied many families, including the four great families, together in one place, and Shangguan Miao is also cautious if he refuses to stay on the territory of the Li family, one of the four great families.
It was probably not possible at the beginning, and it is even more impossible now.
After all, at this moment, Yuan Che and the people of the Feng family were in Cangzhou, although they were in Moling City Zheng in the center of Cangzhou
The first time she came to Naught, if Xiao Luo hadn't given her a list of things he had written overnight about the things he needed to pay attention to in Naught Prefecture before leaving, Xue Yu was afraid that she would have to fall on her head when she entered Naught Prefecture from Cangzhou.
There are many damp miasma in the stubborn state, although it is a cultivator's physique, it is still necessary to be extra careful, there are always some poisonous herbs in the deep mountains and forests that can be called elixirs, and there are medicinal herbs that have the ability to revert to cultivators, not to mention that although she has made progress now, it is only in the late stage of foundation building, and the golden pill has not yet been formed.
Leaving Mianzhou, this part of the road accompanied by Xiao Luo, although it is not very long, but it has experienced a lot of things, under the guidance of Xiao Luo, intentionally or unintentionally, Xue Yuan has indeed learned a lot compared to when he first left Mianzhou.
At the very least, you can stop acting recklessly and impatiently, but calm down and wait for your chance.
Although he has the portrait of Shangguan Miao that Zhou Yan gave him six years ago, it is obviously impossible for Xue Yuan to really show this portrait to others to find someone. In this way, she actually has no more clues, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
On the way from Cangzhou to Yanzhou, Xue Yuan had already thought carefully about how to find more clues.
The key point is still to focus on the difference between true and false essences.
Qingyun Dan.
The Shangguan family's true Qingyun Recipe cultivation has no defects, and there will be no hidden danger of damaging the meridians, so naturally there is no need to assist the Qingyun Dan. And the remnants of the Qingyun Recipe stolen by Yuan Che are almost indispensable for cultivators, and the Qingyun Pill is indispensable for almost all their lives.
It's just that......
After clarifying this direction, it is not easy to actually find a difference in Panrao. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Xue Yuan to see the spiritual root situation of other cultivators, and this kind of thing that would only be done during the qualification test had always needed the assistance of magic weapons. If you don't know if other cultivators have problems with their spiritual roots, you don't know if they need to practice the Pure Essence Formula, and naturally you can't determine whether they don't need the Pure Essence Pill because they don't practice the Pure Essence Formula, or because they don't need the Pure Essence Pill.
couldn't find it from people, so Xue Yun had to pay attention to Qingyun Dan itself.
So after entering the Stubborn Prefecture, she traveled all the way from the border to the hinterland where the Yin Sect was stationed in the center of the Stubborn Prefecture, and the place where she put the most thought into it was every Danfang pharmacy that sold Qingyun Dan in various towns.
After eleven days in a row, Xue Yuan stopped and stopped, and when he came to Guanghua City, which was not far from where the Yin Sect was stationed, there was still no progress in the investigation of Qingyun Dan Qingyun Jue and the search for Shangguan Miao's whereabouts.
Guanghua City is only two days away from the Yinqi Mountain Gate, which is considered to be close, the city is not large, and the outside of the city is close to the lush mountains and forests, which is more "wild" than the towns of other state capitals. Cultivators dressed in dark red and wearing black satin sect uniforms that could be seen outside the city could be seen in the city.
On the Kyushu continent, in addition to the four major families, there are also three sects of the top forces, Qingzhou Xuanqingmen, Qiaozhou Demon Palace, and Naughty Zhou Yin Sect. Unlike the four great families who are identified by wearing jade plaques with their identities, the children of the three sects will most likely wear their own unique clothes when they walk outside, although they also have signs of identity identification. Xuanqingmen wears a wide-sleeved robe with blue satin on a white background, a blue-veined suit embroidered on the ink background of the Demon Palace, and a dark red and black satin dress in the Yin faction, which is more casual and has no standard in shape.
Naturally, when the disciples of the sect do not want to be easily let know their identities, they will not wear them like this, just like the children of the family will not hang the jade plate on their waists when they are low-key.
For example, Su Run, Xue Yun had never seen him pass through the blue clothes embroidered on the ink background of the Demon Palace.
Xue Yu had never been to Qingzhou, where the Xuanqing Gate was located, and although the last time he went to the Streamer Grass Mountain Range was in Qiaozhou, it was only a border connected to Cangzhou, and he didn't go deep into the hinterland, and he didn't know what the other two sects looked like, but it was indeed the first time he had seen so many cultivators in similar clothes coming and going, which was really fresh.
There has been no progress for many days, and although Xue Yun kept telling himself that he needed to be calm and composed, he still couldn't help but feel a lot of anxiety in his heart. At this time, in Huocheng, Nayan Prefecture, she finally found a little clue.
It was when she often went to the Treasure Pavilion to guard outside the Dan room in Huocheng, and saw a girl from the Yin Sect.
Since she decided to start looking for clues from Qingyun Dan, Xue Yuan also carefully learned a lot about Qingyun Dan, about the family and the sect, at this time, it was because of these understandings that she paid attention to the girl who ran to the Danfang at a glance, the purpose was very clear and simple, only bought Qingyun Dan, and bought a lot of girls.
Normally, when the three major sects in the Kyushu Continent accept disciples, they all have to test the spiritual root endowment, and it is impossible for a person who had a spiritual root complex problem more than a hundred years ago to cross this threshold and become a disciple of the sect. And more than 100 years ago, the Qingyun Jue was born, so that many spiritual roots have the possibility of cultivation, but after all, what was made public to the world was the remnants obtained by Yuan Che after stealing the hard work of the Shangguan family, and it was not perfect and there was a hidden danger of damaging the meridians, and it was necessary to always have the Qingyun Pill for the rest of his life, which still became the reason why the sect turned away these people.
First, this kind of monk who is destined to be inseparable from the Qingyun Pill is too fragile, and secondly, the cost of supporting the Qingyun Pill for a cultivator's life is really too huge.
No matter how you calculate it, cultivating a disciple with mixed spiritual roots is definitely not cost-effective.
Unlike various families, after all, the clansmen in the family are involved in the blood, even if they are marginally snubbed, they will not be expelled from the family because of the spiritual root problem, and they can choose the three sects of their own children and seedlings, even if the Qingyun Jue has been announced for more than a hundred years, it still does not accept disciples with spiritual root problems.
Therefore, if you buy Qingyun Dan, you will need to take Qingyun Dan, the children of the family may be scattered, but the children of the sect are not reasonable.
Xue Yuan, who had just walked to the door, no longer hesitated and walked in when he saw the female cultivator wearing the Yin Sect costume walking into the Dan room and hearing with his own ears that she was going to buy Qingyun Dan.
Xue Yun was only a few steps behind the other party, not far away, and he could always hear the conversation between the other party and the shopkeeper of the Danfang, and when he came in, he was not in a hurry to come over, but walked to the other side and asked about the antidote to the miasma.
The conversation with the shopkeeper of the Danfang was a girl who was estimated to be slightly older than Xue Yuan, wearing a strong suit with a dark red neckline and cuffs wrapped in black satin, capable and neat, with a pair of two-handed blades pinned to the waist behind her, faintly revealing a cold light, not an ordinary weapon, it was a sacrificial magic weapon, and it was very likely to be her natal weapon.
If this is the case, even if she has seen it in Xue Yuan, the second one will wear her natal weapon outside instead of collecting it in the dantian or the sea of knowledge.
The first is Li Yanran.
"Miss Ling, this is your Qingyun Pill, a total of fifty. ”
When Xue Yuan heard the number "fifty", she took the opportunity to look over there, and it was not surprising that the guy who was entertaining her was not surprised. It is not surprising to be surprised to buy so many Qingyun Pills at once, and according to the cultivation progress of ordinary monks, it can be used for several years.
The Yin Sect disciple known as Miss Ling took the pill bottle handed over by the shopkeeper, and put it away without looking closely, but when he looked up again, he asked the shopkeeper, "What is there missing right now?"
This "Ling girl" voice was a little hoarse, and Xue Yun felt that although she seemed to have softened her tone as much as possible, it was still a little stiff in her ears.
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's nothing special, it's still the previous elixir, if Miss Ling can find it, get it here, and we will exchange it for Qing Yun Dan for you at this price." ”
Xue Yuan saw that the girl Ling who was facing away from her nodded, and without saying anything more, she turned her head and strode away.
It wasn't until she turned around and walked out the door that Xue Yuan briefly saw her appearance.
This Ling girl is not a beauty, the ink between her eyebrows and eyes is heavy, and the outline of her face is also very rigid, at this time there is not much expression on her face, there are no accessories on her body, and her hair is only roughly tied in braids, so simple that it is even a little "cold", but from the inside to the outside there is a momentum that no one can enter.
If Li Yanran, who has a gorgeous appearance, is like a sharp knife, then this Ling girl, who also wears weapons on her body like Li Yanran, is like a sharp axe.
It's rougher, and it's more direct.
"Girl?" The guy on the side saw Xue Yuan looking at the direction that Ling girl left, and thought about it: "That Ling Xia girl from the Yin Sect is about to build a foundation." ”
Seeing that the guy was willing to talk about this topic, Xue Yun also made a curious and interested look and asked, "I just listened...... Could it be that the Yin Sect is already accepting disciples with spiritual root problems?"
"That's not Sakura" The guy shook his head, "She, that's not for herself, and...... I didn't buy it either. ”
"Oh, that's for the family?"
"Hey, what's that...... But if you want to be tough, maybe it can be counted?" The guy scratched his head: "Get up, Miss Ling is really benevolent and righteous to that Fang Gongzi, over the years, she has gone through a lot of dangers in Nanzhou to pick up elixirs and spiritual objects to exchange for Qing Yun Dan, which is almost every two or three months, and today this trip is considered to be a small exchange!"
Xue Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "Fifty is still less......?"
The guy secretly glanced at the shopkeeper who had sat down to the side to take a nap after sending Ling Xia away, and then continued to say softly: "Who let that Fang Gongzi be a bottomless pit!"
