Chapter 19: The Conditions of the Duanmu City Lord
Seeing such a situation, Liu Yue did not show it on her face, but she was vigilant. Does a city lord's mansion need so many monks and servants? And all of them are more advanced or similar to the cultivation of those who come to the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord himself is a Jindan monk, and his cultivation is profound. It's not a mortal realm, and you still need to take care of the family and the hospital, and the monks don't have such a problem at all. If you want to find someone to serve your daily life, even mortals can do it. Not to mention those legendary powers, not to mention the great monks of the Yuan Infant Stage, for the Jindan monks and even the low-level monks, mortals are cheaper, because there is no need to supply them with the magic weapon pill spirit stones for cultivation, and the money and food that mortals need are completely useless to the monks, and they can be provided to mortals.
It is really rare for the City Lord's Mansion to use monks as servants, after all, the Duanmu City Lord is also a Jindan cultivator. What's more, the cultivation of the monks he uses is not low, and it happens to be about the same or a little better than the monks who came to the City Lord's Mansion, so he feels very deliberate.
The butler led Liu Yue to the living room and sat down, asked the servant to serve a cup of tea, and then said: The city lord will arrive on time, please wait here for a while, and then retreat.
Liu Yue sat on a chair and looked at the people around her. Well, the two people sitting in the opposite direction. The male cultivator is almost the same as Liu Yue's, with a simple face, and the female cultivator has seven layers, and she is long and bewitching. The two behaved intimately, like a Taoist couple. The two looked at Liu Yue, and the male cultivator introduced himself: We are disciples of Wuji Sect, my name is Li Zhi, and this is my Taoist companion Su Niang.
Liu Yue was surprised in her heart, she didn't expect it to be a demon cultivator, and the Wuji Sect was one of the few major sects in the Vast Continent. It is one of the six major sects in the same list as the Purple Mountain Sect. It is also the only magic gate that can be counted.
His face was silent, and he still nodded politely and said: My name is Liu Yi, and I am a casual cultivator. After speaking, she nodded to the two male cultivators sitting next to her.
The two male cultivators, one fat and one thin, don't look like they're together. The fat monk who was on the 8th floor of Qi refining also greeted with a smile: "My name is Wang Qiao, and I am also a casual cultivator. The thin monk looked arrogant, glanced at Liu Yue proudly, and lost his sentence: "Shi Jie." And there was no more to it. Liu Yue felt that his power was similar to that of herself, but her cultivation was not real, and she guessed that he was about the tenth layer of Qi refining.
After the five of them introduced each other, they slipped their tea and said nothing, and after waiting for a while, the other seven monks also arrived one after another.
As soon as the time came, the Duanmu City Lord appeared in the living room on time, Lang Lang laughed and sat on the main seat of the living room, Liu Yue and the other twelve Qi Refining Cultivators were busy getting up to salute, and the Duanmu City Lord did not restrain the coercion on his body. Liu Yue only felt that a powerful force overwhelmed her, and Liu Yue was even more vigilant in her heart. What is this for, is it showing his great strength? Or do you think too much about it?
After a while, the Duanmu City Lord restrained the coercion on his body before he asked the Qi Refining Cultivators to sit down. On the other hand, he said politely: "It's good that everyone is comfortable." It is also the old man who has a request, and he specially summons everyone to come, and he really needs the help of all the little friends. The old man has an only son, a yellow-level wood spirit root since he was a child. Although it is a single spirit root, the yellow level is really ...... It's not as good as someone else's heaven-level Four Spirit Root Cultivators. Hey" As he spoke, the city lord stroked his beard and shook his head, looking very sad.
Liu Yue glanced at him, the middle-aged man of the Duanmu City Lord. Although he spoke politely, Liu Yue couldn't forget the rudeness of him who forced them with his might. I secretly wondered if I was right or wrong to come this time.
"Fortunately, I finally found a way to refresh the spirit root level of the dog. I still need the help of all my friends in this matter. Duanmu City Lord continued. Under the name of the City Lord's Mansion, there is a small dilapidated secret realm, this secret realm is nothing special, it is all trees, like a forest. We didn't pay much attention to it, but over the past 10,000 years, we have discovered that the essence of Otogi was born inside. This is the essence of wood, which can increase the spiritual root level of the wood spirit root monk, and has the effect of washing the essence and cutting the marrow. The old man wanted to fetch it for my son in person, but this secret realm restricts cultivation, and only high-level Qi refining monks can enter, and among the five elements, gold gives birth to wood, so although the essence of this Yimu has not yet given birth to spiritual wisdom, it is good and hidden. But he is naturally close to the spiritual power of the gold system, and he is easily attracted. However, the Heavenly Silk Bag that needs to be used to catch the essence of Otogi must be stimulated with fire-based spiritual power or gold-based spiritual power. This is also the reason why the old man requires all the children to have a golden spirit root or a fire spirit root. Naturally, those who get the essence of Otogi can get that piece of Yuanyan Ding as a reward. If you can't get it, don't be depressed, the old man will naturally be rewarded. Although the secret realm is small and broken, it is not nothing, there may still be some spirit grass ore, and all the Taoist friends in the secret realm except for the essence of Yimu are all owned by the Taoist friends, and the old man will never take a penny. "The so-called secret realm is an independent space fragment, they are not as complete as the laws of heaven and earth like the small thousand worlds, but they also have their own laws, and there are also living beings, maybe after hundreds of millions of years, they can evolve into small thousand worlds, and then after hundreds of millions of years, they will evolve into large thousand worlds. Or maybe it was originally formed after the Great Thousand Realms were broken for some reason.
This kind of secret realm is not uncommon in the Vast Continent. Of course, after those valuable and treasured secret realms are discovered, they will be monopolized by the Great Gate Sect, and there are several secret realms below the Purple Mountain Sect. And those secret realms that are of little value or even more broken are in the hands of big families or some powerful monks.
After listening to the explanation of the Duanmu City Lord, the time for tomorrow's departure was finalized. For Duanmu City Lord's words, Liu Yue didn't believe it. She didn't believe that there was not a single high-level Qi refining servant with a golden spirit root or a fire spirit root under the huge City Lord's Mansion. You don't need to pay for the treasure, why does the Duanmu City Lord go far and near? The Duanmu City Lord must have something to ask for, but now that he has entered the wolf's den, it is not easy to leave. You can only take one step at a time.
followed the two high-level maids assigned to her to go to the courtyard where she was resting, and when she arrived at the courtyard, she found that the huge courtyard actually lived alone. After asking the maid, I found out that there was actually a courtyard for each monk. Liu Yue felt that the sense of disobedience was even heavier.
In the evening, looking at the exquisite food sent by the City Lord's Mansion, Liu Yue thought about it, but still didn't move her chopsticks. Liu Yue had a heart, poured some of the food into the storage bag, and pretended to have eaten.
He sat down in the room and pretended to meditate, and after a while, the maid came in to collect the dishes. Liu Yue relied on her strong divine sense, and used her divine sense to constantly spy on them. I found that the two maids looked at each other, and smiled at each other, doubting in my heart.
The divine consciousness followed the two maids out of the room and into the courtyard. Liu Yue was surprised to find that the two maids had destroyed all the bowls, plates and chopsticks that Liu Yue had just used, and all the remaining soup in it was gathered in one place, sprinkled with medicinal powder and decomposed.
Liu Yue knew that there must be something in the food, but fortunately she didn't eat it. The divine sense continued to follow the two maids, and Liu Yue found that they were all standing at the gate of the courtyard, and how could she feel a little surveillance.
At this time, Liu Yue found that there was something strange about the courtyard wall and the courtyard door. The divine consciousness is impenetrable, and it is actually isolated from the divine sense? Thanks to the strength of her divine sense, Liu Yue could still vaguely feel that there seemed to be two high-level qi refining cultivators standing outside the door. Liu Yue even felt that the divine consciousness of the foundation building period kept sweeping over him.
Liu Yue sneered in her heart, what is this for. The whole courtyard is surrounded like an iron pass. It looks like something really big is going to happen. I couldn't help but feel annoyed in my heart, why did I step into the trap like this. I thought a pie had fallen from the sky, but it turned out to be a trap.
Liu Yue spit on herself countless times in her heart. But now I can't help it, I can only pretend that I don't know. Liu Yue secretly put her magic weapons, talismans, and pills in the most convenient place. These are her life savers.
Then I continued to meditate and waited for the dawn.
