Gu Yan nodded, she observed the city as she looked, and sure enough, it was a little different from what she was used to. The city was divided into an inner city, an outer city where mortals gathered, and an inner city inhabited by monks and people with spiritual roots. Mortals in the outer city are eligible to move into the inner city as long as they are tested for spiritual roots. When they arrived at the gate of the inner city, Yue Mingge showed the order and entered without difficulty. Then walk in the direction of the southern city.

Along the way, they saw several markets, as well as martial arts arenas and trial platforms. There is also a place called "Yanwutang", and I heard that the Lin family will have a monk from the late stage of foundation building to preach here every month. And there were large and small shops on the side of the street, and some Qi refining cultivators were selling directly behind the stalls. Gu Yan felt a little back to Tianmu Shanfang City, but it was more prosperous and lively here.

Yue Mingge explained as he walked, "Since this place is close to the ice field in the north, many monks will go there to hunt demon beasts, and then sell the demon pills and other materials they get here, so this has always been an extremely prosperous city in Luodi. There are many famous alchemists and alchemists who also collect materials here and sell their creations. ”

Gu Yan nodded, after waiting for her own business, she was interested in looking for some Ziyan Crystal here. After all, since he had broken through the tenth layer of qi refining in the magic circle of Taihua Mountain, he would need more spirit stones when cultivating.

While talking, the two had already arrived in Nancheng. Gu Yan followed the address and found the land, which was a small courtyard with a single family, but the portal was a little broken, with dust and cobwebs hanging on it, as if no one had been here for a long time. But there were a few clear footprints at the door, and although the door was hidden, traces of someone pushing it could still be seen. Gu Yan listened for a while, and heard bursts of talking voices coming from the courtyard.

She frowned, raised her hand and began to knock on the door: "Is there anyone inside?" ”

Yue Mingge stretched out his hand and pushed it, the door actually fell down at once, smashing a cloud of smoke and dust on the ground, the two of them walked in, and they heard a noisy sound from the courtyard, and a very loud voice said: "When your brother left the city, he ordered twelve flying needles from me, and at that time it was said that haode was paid fifty spirit stones, and now it has been four months, how to calculate this account?" ”

The two of them entered the door, turned the moon wall in front of the door, and then saw that in the courtyard, there was a little girl in a pale yellow shirt, who looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, and there was a very tall and fat man standing in front of him. There were two young people standing behind him, who seemed to be mortals with a little spiritual root, but they couldn't step into the path of cultivating immortals, and they could cultivate to the level of refining qi at the first or second level, so it seemed that they should be his servants.

The little girl trembled a little under the momentum of the fat man, Gu Yan frowned, took a step forward, gently stopped her with her hand, blocked her behind her, and asked softly, "Are you called Song Yuxi?" ”

The little girl glanced at her timidly and nodded: "This sister, my brother doesn't seem to owe you money, right?" ”

Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour, that Song Wufang, who acted ruthlessly and decisively, no one would have thought that he would be in such a dilapidated place, and the spirit stones he had earned during his cultivation over the years had probably been spent on his sister, right?

This is what Wufang asked her when she was in Zuihou. He has a younger sister named Song Yuxi, both of whom have spiritual roots, and his sister is a natural alien spiritual root. The so-called alien spirit root is not within the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Generally speaking, people with this kind of spiritual root are the disciple materials that the various sects want to compete for.

However, Song Yuxi was born with the Nine Yin Absolute Vein, and the meridians could not be filled with spiritual energy, and he could not attract spiritual energy into his body at all, and he could not even reach the Qi refining period, let alone the foundation building pill behind. So after the death of both parents, although they are eligible to live in the inner city. However, due to Song Yuxi's Nine Yin Absolute Pulse, after she was nine years old, her meridians began to gradually shrink, and her vitality was slowly cut off from her body, and she had to be treated with an elixir called "Rongyu Dan".

The materials of this elixir are very difficult to find, and Wu Fang has been running around overseas and Luodi for all these years, in order to find the materials for alchemy. I can only find a few of them every time. Since Song Yuxi was nine years old, he spends most of his time every year on this.

Wufang is the most relieved is his sister. So before he died, he entrusted this matter to Gu Yan. Gu Yan traveled thousands of miles to Guanque City to find Song Yuxi. As soon as she arrived, she encountered the miserable appearance of being called for debts.

The fat man saw that Gu Yan and Yue Mingge were both cultivators of the tenth level of qi refining, and his arrogance was stagnant, but he still said: "Are you two her relatives, they must be monks from outside, and they don't know the rules of this place yet." Hurry up and pay off the spirit stone for her, otherwise you will have to ask the Lord Protector of the City Lord's Mansion to comment on the reason! ”

Gu Yan frowned a little, fifty spirit stones were not a huge wealth for her, but she came from Taihua Mountain in a hurry, and she had no savings on her body, only a dozen spirit stones on her body, plus some materials such as demon pills and animal bones hunted overseas, as well as some spirit grasses that were collected. She groaned and said, "This fellow Daoist, it's better to ......"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps at the door, and the door, which had been pushed to the ground, was trampled on several times. Rushing in was a tall man, with short hair that was not combed in a bun, but only draped behind his head, wearing a garment that looked like animal skins, and half of his right arm was exposed. He has a pair of very strong eyebrows, and he doesn't look like a local.

He looked at the fat man, a little angry, and said, "Du Liangheng, it's only been a few days, and you're already the third time you've come to the door, right?" ”

The fat man surnamed Du saw him, and there was a look of ridicule in his eyes: "Friend of the Daoist Wu, I came to ask for my things, what do you have to do with it, is it possible that you have to pay off the debt for her." It's just that your small shop can't be opened once a month, I'm afraid that in another year and a half, you won't be able to get together fifty spirit stones, right? ”

The man said angrily: "There has never been a time when Ming Wuyu speaks and does not count, you go back, I will send the spirit stone to your store when I am here, and please don't come to disturb it again in the future!" He looked at Gu Yan and Yue Mingge with a scrutinizing gaze, and said, "Yu Xi, Wufang hasn't come back yet." This is the elixir he asked me to refine last time, so you better take it quickly. ”
