There are three cities in the Zhongyuan Continent, namely the upper hub, the central hub, and the lower hub, and Su Quan has known it for a long time. There's a great place in the Hub, and she's thought about cutting it down. There is a memory in the Upper Hub that I don't know if it's good or bad, and it's very difficult to remember now. And this lower hub city in front of you...... But it's like a dark magic city.

The pitch-black walls towered into the sky, and the dark red gates seemed to smell a smell of blood from afar. As for the monks who walked into the city, they could hardly find a single monk who was giggling and joking. Everyone was dressed in black coats and hurried through the streets. Occasionally, one or two monks who seemed to know each other left in a hurry after a glance or a sound had passed.

Originally, Su Quan couldn't understand why before entering the city, Senior Brother Jingchen wanted to put on such a robe like a Death Eater, but now she understood. didn't dare to say more, and obediently let the senior brother hold his hand. After entering the city, he turned left and right, and after turning right and left for a while, he stopped in front of a gatehouse that was also dark red. Interestingly, there seems to be some custom in the city, where all the houses are made of that black stone, and all the gates are dark red as blood.

"Senior sister, take out your sect token."

Senior Brother Jingchen passed the message, Su Quan was obedient and obediently took out the things. Then I saw the senior brother put his token in a depression in the door panel, and a flash of inspiration appeared, and the senior brother disappeared suddenly. Hurriedly put his token in, and after a slight dizziness, he saw that he was already within the courtyard wall.

There were a lot of people in the courtyard, all of whom were disciples of the Extreme Heavenly Gate. When the fourth senior brother and the fifth senior brother were talking to Jingchen, they saw the little junior sister appear. The fourth senior brother came over with a smile and patted the little junior sister's shoulder: "Are you scared along the way?" How many demon cultivators have you encountered? ”

Yes? Demon cultivators?

Su Quan shook his head and looked at Senior Brother Jingchen in surprise.

Jingchen lightly patted the dust on her shoulder: "We didn't touch anything." It's not as good as the two senior brothers. Come here, I'll take you to your room. Without a trace, he pulled the little junior sister out from the clutches of the fourth senior brother. Nodding slightly to the two, he walked to the back garden by himself.

On the way, Su Quan didn't say a word, only a pair of eyes looked at the construction of this place. It turned out to be a ring-shaped house with a heavy set. On the courtyard wall is a row of houses in a circle. Each room was strangely windowless, with only a tightly closed door. It doesn't look big, and there are sunken grooves on the doors. Look at the size of the sect token. Some seem to be occupied, the grooves in the door panels are gone, and some are still empty.

Slightly inward, there is a ring of buildings with doors facing outward, and the rooms are also divided into small pieces, and only in the middle is that there is an open hall facing the door. Su Quan had looked into the hall when he entered the door, but all he saw was some monks talking to each other. I vaguely seem to be able to see that there is a courtyard inside, but I don't know what it is. Because Senior Brother Jingchen only dragged her around the row of houses in the middle of the room for a while, he picked an unoccupied house and put his token in it. Then, taking advantage of the light on the door number, he pulled her in.

It was a brief moment of dizziness, but what I saw when I was sunny again was...... A very particular house. Two carved beds are arranged on both sides of the room, in the middle is a carved shell-inlaid round table with four round stools, and on either side of the door are two very beautiful Bogu shelves and a complete set of bookcase stools. Every piece of furniture is worth a lot of money, and a large night pearl on the roof of the house illuminates the house.

But the brighter it is, the more it sets off the black material of the inner wall of the house here.

"Senior brother, what is this stone?" She may still know very little about other things, but the matter of materials in this world is extremely related to refining. She had read a lot of jade books in this area, but she had never seen such a black stone that made people seep.

In this regard, Senior Brother Jingchen was silent for a moment and said, "This stone is not pitch black. Its name is called the Reflection Stone. ”

Reflection Stone? Su Quan gasped, no wonder the fourth senior brother asked them how many demon cultivators they had met just now. It turned out that it was for this reason. It is said that this magic stone is an extremely wonderful material. Although in Su Quan's opinion, there is no material in the cultivation realm that is not unusual. But this Reflection Stone is still very conspicuous in the middle. That's because its effect is actually to sense all kinds of demonic qi between heaven and earth.

For example, if the whole city turns pitch black like it now, it means that there are already a large number of demon cultivators stationed in the city. The more magic cultivators there are, the darker their color becomes. On the other hand, if the Demon Cultivator is farther away from it, or even if it can't sense the existence of the Demon Qi, then the Reflection Demon Stone will turn crystal white. The black and white stone also has an automatic switching function. It's like a barometer of the cultivation realm. That's why some alchemists designed it to wear a ribbon on their bodies. As long as the color changes slightly, you have to be alert to the existence of demon cultivators nearby.

And now this city is even the color of the inner wall of the house is pitch black like this, how many demon cultivators are stationed in the city?

Oh, and one more point here. The demon cultivation in the Zhongyuan Continent is not like in Xiuzhen's novels, where people beat and kill. He's a special kind of monk's group! They are not likable, nor are there any special people who can't get along with them, trying to commit genocide like Hitler. Demon cultivators have their own set of exercises, and they also have their own sects, and because their cultivation is to absorb the demonic energy between heaven and earth, which has nothing to do with spiritual energy, they rarely have conflicts of interest with the main sects. And because the demonic qi of the Zhongyuan Continent is mostly produced in the southwest corner, most of the demonic cultivators are gathered in the southwest. Occasionally, there would be some friction between a few demon cultivators and a righteous path disciple from time to time, resulting in violent incidents. But for thousands of years, the struggle between the two sides of the Demon Dao has always been on the issue of petty personal fights, and no major contradictions have occurred. What everyone wants is more to advance out of the body and ascend to the spirit realm. Instead of subduing demons.

Under this kind of big premise, encountering a demon cultivator is not a particularly bad event, but of course it is not good. Because the demon cultivator will not pick which sect you are, but he has always liked to block the road and rob. Even if the stolen elixir treasures are of no direct use to them, they can be exchanged for spirit stones to buy the things they really need for their demon cultivation in some places. And this place is the legendary Nexus in front of you, right?

There was no word all night, and everyone was resting. And as soon as I went out the next day, I received a summons from the fourth senior brother: The first scene tonight, the third floor of Hao.

"The first one?"

"Yes, there will be twelve of these events."

Twelve? That means she's going to have to stay in this place for at least twelve days? I don't know how many places demon cultivators gather! For this reason, Su Quan was bored all day long. Although she tried her best to calm herself down, her heart was beating hard no matter what. This was the first time she had seen the outside world of cultivation in the true sense of the word, and it was the kind that could be cruel. Therefore, she was so excited and excited that she couldn't sit still while meditating, and it seemed that going around the room in circles would affect her senior brother's cultivation again. In a dilemma, I had to sleep under the quilt. Although I can't sleep, it's better to hide under the covers than to be outside and it's inconvenient to even move my expression muscles.

In this way, they suffered all the way, until after the dark hour, the disciples of the Extreme Heaven Gate set off.

None of them wore the clothes of their own sect, but all of them wore such black cloaks, and even several male nuns and nuns who seemed to be very good-looking, including Senior Brother Jingchen, wore masks on their faces that could isolate their divine senses. Is this for fear that someone will rob you? Su Quan was even more nervous. I was so nervous that I didn't even get out of this gate of the Extreme Heaven Gate, and my palms were already full of sweat.

In such a situation, Senior Brother Jingchen made a footstep, spread out her palm and looked at it, and reluctantly took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. Such treatment...... Su Quan was shocked and felt uncomfortable. Of course, she knew that this senior brother didn't mean that to her, but she usually didn't have anyone around, but recently she often did this kind of lingering state in front of outsiders. What kind of fuss is this? And why does she always feel like a man's back, as if there are several pairs of eyes behind her?

"Senior brother, you won't quietly cause any peach blossom debts outside, and then let me take care of the bag, right?" She secretly transmitted her voice, and her voice was so pitiful. But after finishing speaking, I saw her really beautiful beauty brother pinching her little face affectionately: "It's so smart." Be obedient and obedient, senior brother will buy you candy to eat. ”

Granny legs!

Outside, there were no people in the alley, but the road outside was already intertwined. Everywhere there were passers-by in black robes. Some of the alleys came out of the east side, and two more popped up from the houses on the west side. Although everyone may come from all over the world, seven sects and eight sects, but today's clothing is exactly the same. And everyone's destination tonight is the nine-story Haotian Tower in the center of the Lower Hub City!

Su Quan had been to the Upper Pivot City and knew that there was also such a building in that city standing in the middle of the city. But at that time, she couldn't take care of it. Everything she saw was a surprise. And it seems that because the building is white, there is a lot less mystery. But now the building in front of me is like any building in the city, as black as ink, exuding bursts of bloody atmosphere.

Outside the Haotian Tower, there is no high wall. Because this building is octagonal shaped, the entrance of the building is divided into eight places. At the entrance of each building, there were two monks in crimson robes handing out things.

"Senior brother, why do I still see someone giving spirit stones?" If everyone gives it, or everyone doesn't give it, Su Quan won't be able to ask. But some people give it, and some people don't give it. She just couldn't figure it out. Regarding this matter, Senior Brother Jingchen's reply was to take her with him, and then in a very affectionate way...... After touching her hood, he said: "Of course, many people who come here are here to exchange items, but there are also many who come to learn more. Therefore, people with long knowledge do not need to buy nine-color balls, but those who change things must buy them. ”

"Nine-colored balls? What's that? "There seems to be no record on the jade slip she has seen.

But this time, there is no need for Senior Brother Jingchen to say it directly. Because it's their turn. After Senior Brother Jingchen handed over a bag of spirit stones, he changed to a handful of almost transparent glass balls in his hand. Because she knew that she was curious, after entering the door, she stuffed all this thing into the hands of her junior sister.

Su Quan picked one up and looked at it carefully, and it turned out to be hollow.

And what Senior Brother said just now: "Could it be that this ball is used to install a treasure exchange?" Nine colors? Could it be that it can automatically distinguish the grade of the treasure and change different colors? ”

This time she guessed correctly, but what she got was a more intimate and direct hug of the senior brother's shoulders......

Granny legs! The feeling of being seconds behind it is even stronger. She was sure that she would definitely be extremely miserable by this senior brother after this trade fair.

―

The outside of the tower looks like it has nine floors, but the inside is ...... But it's only three floors! One layer of red, one layer of purple, one layer of gold. There is no special hardware division, but it is distinguished by color. And the walls of each floor are densely packed with tiny lattices. At first, Su Quan didn't understand what it was for? But when the senior brother took her around and flew directly into one of the grids...... But it was clear at first glance. Because she was already in those dense little grids. And although the territory in this grid is not particularly large, it is enough to put two sofa chairs and a small coffee table with Lingguo Lingcha. It's just that whether it's this coffee table or the so-called sofa chair, it's actually a series of furniture styles in the courtyard where Jitianmen is stationed.

Could it be that all the houses in this city belong to their owners? Where is the Polar Heavenly Gate just a lease?

While she was thinking about this, Jingchen had already dug out the nine-colored ball she had bought. As soon as the hand flipped, a magic weapon appeared, and then the spirit trick was urged to push the magic weapon into the nine-colored ball. And when the magic weapon completely entered the ball, the small ball that was almost transparent suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

Su Quan blinked excitedly, and then heard the voice of his senior brother: "Although this nine-color ball is said to be nine-colored, it is just like this Hao Tianlou, with only three main colors. The layering of Haotian Tower is that the foundation building period is at the bottom, the Jiedan Zhenren is in the middle, and the top is the territory of the Yuanying monks. Correspondingly, the items sent in for replacement are also divided into three colors. Red is the bottom, purple is the middle, and gold is the top. Of course, there is something higher than gold that is the ichimar aura. Master became famous in the past years because he sold a seven-colored spiritual treasure here. And in these three colors of gold, purple and red, because of the different grades, the dark color of the color will also be different. The more intense the color, the higher the grade. On the contrary, it is lower. ”

I see! It's just: "Senior brother, I don't know the method of placing this nine-colored ball yet." Su Quan smiled at him, it was very cute.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, her own temperament doesn't belong to the cute kind of series. Her parents are unknown, and she was thrown into an orphanage shortly after she was born, and although she grew up safely, the hardships were innumerable. For this reason, she used to be proud and self-controlled, calm but also sharp. It wasn't until later that it gradually became softer. But she really didn't think about it. But now, for some reason, she can pretend to be cute more and more fluently in front of this senior brother.

Did the Xiuzhen world change her? is a little congested, but fortunately, this senior brother is good to her. I passed the recipe to her on the spot! Of course, he was still pinched in the face, which caused another chill in his back.

－

The monks were almost all at the beginning of the day, and although they were dressed similarly, after entering the tower, they gradually separated into ranks. Among the three types of stratification, the monks in the foundation building period seem to be the most, but there are also many monks in the foundation period. Su Quan paid attention to the approximate count, and there were four or five hundred Jiedan monks here today. As for the infant monks...... Ahem, before she could see it clearly, people flew up.

The number of monks who came varied from large to small, and by the time they were almost there, no one had come in or out. As soon as the sub-clock rang, the eight originally open entrances to the building were instantly closed. Then a white light suddenly appeared on the gossip map in the center of the building. Then, a black-robed Tsukiji nun stepped on a black lotus flower and floated into the air.

First, he saluted all around, and then went straight to the point: "Today is the ten-year storage meeting of Hao Tianlou in our lower hub city. The rules must be clear to everyone. Barter, do not accept any spirit stones. In the face of the same opportunity, the first to come. But if someone crashes the nine-colored ball with aura, then that person will never want to set foot in our Nexus again. Now, please put all the things you want to exchange today into the nine-colored ball. I'm going to start counting! ”

This method is actually not extremely difficult, but the first time Su Quan did it, the speed of stuffing it was not very fast. It was still the senior brother who helped several times, and it was completed before the female cultivator blew the whistle. Then I saw the nun flick her wrist, and three long flags rose in the air and hung straight on the top of the tower.

These three long flags, one red, one purple and one gold. The red one is the longest, and the gold one is the shortest. And on each long banner is densely written the name and number of treasures. The monk's eyes are the best, and even if the words are as small as a fly's head, they can be read carefully.

As usual, the natural one starts with the red one.

The nun called out a name on the flag, and a red ball flew past. And when she put the red ball in the palm of her hand and held it high, there was a crisp bell sound, and then there would be two or seven or eight nine-colored balls of similar color flying over. The one that touches the ball in the palm of your hand first, and the replacement is successful. The rest were taken back to their original locations. The two balls that had been successfully exchanged were smeared with an ink-like thing on them, faded in color, and flew back to their new owners.

Such a way of exchange is unheard of and unseen. But it's also fun!

Su Quan thought like this, and a smile naturally appeared on his face. As a result, Senior Brother Jingchen complained fiercely: "Although this kind of trade fair can be exchanged for a lot of good things, it is also equivalent to exposing all personal private collections in front of others." Smoothly exchanged for natural willingness, but what about those who can't? Naturally, I had to think of something else. No flights are allowed in the lower hub, and no group fights are allowed. But when he left the city, no one cared about it anymore. If the bones outside the Lower Hub City are superimposed, I am afraid that even He Xianshan will have to avoid its peak. ”

Depend on! This senior brother specializes in disgusting people.

Su Quan pursed his lips and looked carefully at the trade fair outside. Truth be told, most of the red balls are being exchanged by the Tsukiji Monks. Although there are some Su Quan in the middle who saw them in the jade slips, there are no good things in Jitianmenfang City. But that's a minority after all. Or rather...... Su Quan, who worshipped Yuanying Monk as his master, unconsciously raised his eyes. Although she is still a monk in the early stage of foundation building, her vision is no longer satisfied by the things that need to be used in the foundation building period.

In addition, she didn't have a ball of light in her hand, although she had a bunch of spirit stones, there was nowhere to spend them. I had to watch my senior brother exchange a yin-yang astrolabe for a box of water beads the size of millet grains. Later, he exchanged a dagger for a pair of tiger teeth of a fourth-order sabertooth.

In this way, the storage meeting of the red ball during the foundation building period has been open for almost an hour and finally ended. And then there is the replacement of today's more eye-catching monk Jiedan.

According to what is written on the purple flag, there are 67 purple balls today.

And the first name of the purple ball to be pronounced was: "Too much no sword!" One handful, on purple. ”
