In the city, the city lord held an annual pearl competition, but this grand event is not a festive thing for the common people, I don't know how many masters gathered in the city to find the East China Sea Dragon Ball, during which it was naturally indispensable to rob each other, and the strength of the masters of the Heavenly Transformation Realm was extraordinary, and the battle was bound to be extremely fierce, most of the people in the city took refuge in the city today, and some residents closed their doors tightly, praying that these strong people would not come to the door.

At this time, there were naturally few pedestrians in the city, and only some masters who participated in the conference were left to wander around. Jiang Ling met a ragged beggar at this time, and wanted to inquire about the location of the blacksmith shop and the relevant information of the Pearl Capture Conference from him, but after a short contact, Jiang Ling suddenly felt abnormal.

Of course, this anomaly does not mean that the old man has bad ears, but that the old man is not an ordinary person.

Although the battlefield preview flashed the figures of some strong people who participated in the pearl competition, it does not mean that only these people will participate in the conference.

This shabby old beggar seems to be ordinary, but he dares to sit leisurely on the side of the street at this juncture, and dares to pretend to be deaf and dumb with Jiang Ling, if he doesn't have a problem with his brain, he has good skills and strength, and he is not afraid of Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling just swept it with his mental power at will, and did not find any cultivation fluctuations on this old man's body, but at this time, Jiang Ling carefully probed again, and suddenly found that this old beggar had a hidden and introverted qi on his body.

"What beggars? I haven't heard of this gang, if there is, then how can the old man only be an elder, how can he also be a gang leader. The old beggar shook his head and muttered, then looked at Jiang Ling, his cloudy eyes showed a hint of brilliance, and asked, "Which disciple are you?" He came to the Heavenly Transformation Realm at a young age, and even he was still a spiritual double cultivator, but he could be called the pride of the sky. ”

The other party's concealment technique almost deceived his own exploration, and he could see his cultivation at a glance, so he must be at least a master in the middle of the heavenly change. Jiang Ling thought for a moment, did not answer his question, but respectfully hugged his fists and said: "It's the kid who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he didn't see the strength of his predecessors, and he really thought you were a beggar in the city, which was rude." ”

The old beggar shook the broken bowl in his hand and chuckled: "The young man still knows some etiquette, although the old man is not a beggar in this city, he has been here for seven or eight days, and he knows some things in the city, what do you want to inquire about?" Let's hear it, if the old man knows, he can also tell you. ”

Jiang Ling thought that he was just an ordinary beggar in the city, so he wanted to inquire about the location of the blacksmith shop in the north of the city, but obviously this old guy also came to participate in the pearl competition, if he directly inquired about this blacksmith shop, the other party would definitely detect some suspicions, wouldn't he leak the information to others. Even if the old beggar knew, he might not tell himself the truth.

Jiang Ling was not stupid, and said directly: "It's the first time for the younger generation to come to this Bailuo City, and I don't know much about this pearl competition, so I'm here to have a good time." Naturally, I wanted to inquire about how many masters this pearl winning conference attracted, and what prizes were in the end. ”

The old beggar squinted his eyes at Jiang Ling's expression, obviously not believing this set of words, but seeing that Jiang Ling's expression was sincere and not fake, he still spoke: "Old man doesn't believe that you are just here to join in the fun, if this is the case, I will advise you to get out of here as soon as possible." This pearl winning conference, regardless of origin, whether high or low, as long as it is a cultivator who has not reached the Xuanji, can participate, and it has been held so many times, it can be regarded as famous, not to mention the nearby cultivators, even in the Central Plains, and even further away There are people who have worked tirelessly to come. These people include famous and upright disciples, casual cultivators, some sideways, and some vicious people who everyone shouts and beats. although

However, the city lord said that he hoped that everyone would stop and not rush to kill everything, but every year people died in the assembly. ”

The old beggar raised his hand and nodded at Jiang Ling, and said, "With your talent, if you have the support of the sect, there will be no accident, you will be promoted to the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm within ten years, and it will not be too late to come back to 'join in the fun'." lest you die here because of greed for a while, and ruin your good future. ”

"Thank you seniors for reminding me, and the younger generations also understand the truth of retreating in the face of difficulties, but since you are here, you can't quit just now." Jiang Ling responded flatly, he couldn't be sure whether this old guy was really a well-intentioned advice, a mockery in disguise, or a 'persuasion' with a threatening nature, so he could only reply without being salty. Then he asked, "The seniors are also here to participate in the pearl competition, right?" ”

The old beggar saw that Jiang Ling didn't appreciate it, and replied a little unhappily: "Otherwise? Coming here to ask for food? Of course, I'm really a flower who asks for food, you look at the kindness and give a little charity. ”

Jiang Ling didn't have a few children left in his body, and seeing that this old man didn't look like a good old man, he groped for a long time and took out a silver coin. Jiang Ling pretended to smile ashamedly and said, "The younger generation is also poor and sour, and he is really powerless, you Haihan." ”

The old beggar was not too little, reached out to take it, and put it in his mouth to take a bite. Then he waved his hand impatiently and said, "What are you waiting for, I'm going to rest for a while, why should you go?" ”

Jiang Ling immediately hugged his fists again and said, "Farewell, take care." ”

After saying that, Jiang Ling turned around and left, this strange old man looked like a cunning master, it should not be easy to get useful information from him, and Jiang Ling didn't waste time here.

A dignified Heavenly Transformation Realm powerhouse, he can be an elder in an ordinary sect, but he has to be a beggar, Jiang Ling doesn't know what this old guy thinks, he can only be regarded as a strange guy who doesn't follow the usual path.

After continuing to walk along the street for a short distance, Jiang Ling didn't see a blacksmith shop, but saw a restaurant in front of him that was open as usual. The restaurant is a typical intelligence center, and Jiang Ling did not hesitate, and was about to go inside. But the next moment, Jiang Ling remembered something, looked up at the window on the second floor, and immediately confirmed that this was the restaurant that flashed in the battlefield preview, and a couple of men and women were sitting at the window. The woman had her back to her, and the man was looking down at Jiang Ling, his eyes were flat.

Jiang Ling ignored it and walked in, the decoration of this restaurant is quite good, the style is elegant, clean and tidy. There were eight tables in the hall, three of which were already occupied.

On the left-hand side by the door, sat two young men, dressed in identical cyan robes, with a wolf's head embroidered on their left shoulder. There is no doubt that this is a disciple of a certain sect, and Jiang Ling has read the "Introduction to the Major Sects of the Lingyuan Continent", and guessed that this is a second-rate sect called the Heavenly Wolf Sect in the eastern part of the Lingyuan Continent, although it is not comparable with the Drunken Flower Building of the Yunshen Sect, but it also has a history of two hundred years, and the strength of the sect is not bad, and it belongs to the same grade as Tanyue Pavilion.

Walking the rivers and lakes in the costumes of the sect, in order to let others recognize their sect, so that they can use the power of the sect to make the enemy a little jealous.

Of the two men from the Heavenly Wolf Sect, one was a little older and looked to be about forty years old, and the other had a young face, and it was not known whether these two were father and son or master and apprentice. When they saw Jiang Ling walking in, they looked at it vigilantly.

Jiang Ling's gaze swept over the two of them calmly, and then looked at his right hand, and then his eyes changed slightly. There sat a man in white, who looked to be about thirty years old, with long hair half-tied, a dark cyan hosta tied on the top of his head, and two strands of green silk hanging down from his sideburns. A long sword with a delicate scabbard was placed on the table, just to his right, Jiang Ling walked into the restaurant, and he just glanced at it calmly.

This man is the man in white with the sword that flashed in the battlefield preview.

The figures of several masters flashed in the battlefield preview, probably just to show that there were many masters participating in the competition, and the images of a few people were randomly selected. It may also be that there is some kind of hint hidden, most likely, the people who appeared in the battlefield trailer are the strongest in this pearl competition, reminding players to be careful.

Jiang Ling could feel the restrained edge on his body, but he didn't dare to let go of the careful mental probe, which was very easy to be detected by the other party, thus causing the other party's hostility.

As for the last person, he sat at the table closest to the counter, and this person was a player.

It was a good-looking woman, she was wearing a ponytail, dressed in black, looking at Jiang Ling, with three points of vigilance in her eyes, and three points of politeness.

Seeing that the other party did not show hostility, Jiang Ling also smiled slightly, sat directly at her table, and said with a grin: "You don't mind if I sit here." ”

The woman straightened up slightly nervously, stared at Jiang Ling and said, "If it's just sitting, of course I don't mind." ”

Jiang Ling smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "It's just the beginning, I don't think you have any dragon balls on you, but there is no need to come up and fight and kill, the difficult part of this game is still to come, save your strength." ”

The female player also heard the friendliness in Jiang Ling's words, and at the same time understood another meaning of Jiang Ling.

She also said: "That's right, this time the pearl competition, but there are many strong people. ”

Jiang Ling nodded, and from this sentence, he could understand that the other party was also a smart person.

This is a one-man battle, except for completing the main quest, only killing all the other players can be considered a victory, and there is no doubt that this is very difficult to do, and the rewards are not as good as the main quest, so no one should be crazy enough to choose this option.

The main quest of this game can be said to allow players to participate in the pearl competition, which means that players not only compete with each other, but also compete with other participating masters.

Therefore, in the case of not having a Dragon Ball in their hands, there is really no need for players to come up and fight and kill, after all, in addition to guarding against each other, they also have to leave spare strength to deal with other contestants. Otherwise, there may be a situation where players fight to the death, and in the end, the Dragon Ball is taken away by other plot characters, and no one can complete the main story.

Jiang Ling said in a voice that only two people could hear, "My name is Jiang Ling." ”

The female player's eyes changed slightly when she heard this name, and then she said, "My name is Cai Xiaomin." ”

"Hello for the first time." Jiang Ling greeted the other party familiarly.

In the battlefield of Jiulu City, Jiang Ling and Cai Xiaomin appeared as opponents, but they also met from beginning to end, so it was indeed the first time they met.

Cai Xiaomin nodded politely, but did not mean to speak.

Jiang Ling still glanced at the shopkeeper, and asked in a shy voice, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Cai Xiaomin hesitated slightly, but what she could find out from the shopkeeper, Jiang Ling could also inquire about it, and it was pointless to conceal it, and then she said: "I just asked about the rules of the pearl winning conference, and got a useful piece of information, every hour over there, one of the four guards of the City Lord's Mansion will walk out of the City Lord's Mansion and take a walk around the city at will, if you meet them, you can get the location information of a dragon ball at that time." ”

"This city lord is quite good at playing, and this method is about to catch up with variety shows." Jiang Ling complained.

Cai Xiaomin's face was expressionless, and he suddenly picked up the small wine jug in front of him and poured Jiang Ling a glass of wine. Then she continued: "This information was told to me by the boss after I bought a jug of wine for six silver coins, and you have to give me three silver coins." ”

Jiang Ling touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this, and said, "Can you owe it first?" ”
