Xiao Ning returned to his residence and began to practice the Fire Spirit Shield, which is a relatively special exercise, strictly speaking, it can also be regarded as a fighting skill, because the exercises are usually passive, that is to say, after you learn this kind of exercise, whether you use it or not, it will play its due role, it belongs to the secret book of improving the basic hard direct directness, and the fighting skill needs to consume fighting energy to perform.

The Fire Spirit Shield is more special, after cultivation, it can allow the cultivator to have the fire attribute defense ability of the Fire Spirit Shield, but it needs to use a very small amount of fighting energy to maintain it.

For example, when you don't take damage, you won't consume Dou Qi, but after taking damage, you will consume Dou Qi, and the more damage you take, the more Dou Qi will naturally be consumed, and the only benefit is that you will not consume more Dou Qi than the opponent imposes on you.

That is to say, if someone uses a fighting skill with a consumption of 50 Dou Qi value, no matter how powerful the fighting skill is, after hitting the Fire Spirit Shield, the upper limit of the Fighting Qi consumed by the Fire Spirit Shield is 50 Dou Qi value.

Although it doesn't seem to be a bargain, it's a life-saving skill when you're a master of battles.

Just imagine, if you encounter a powerful Great Dou Master, he could have killed you with one palm, but under the defense of the Fire Spirit Shield, if your Fighting Qi is enough to offset the consumption of the Fighting Qi of that attack, then you can retreat unscathed.

In other words, the more vindictive energy you have, the safer you are, which is undoubtedly an excellent life-saving skill.

After understanding the attributes of the Fire Spirit Shield, Xiao Ning really loved the exercise, and at the same time was full of gratitude to Ji Ran.

"Sister Xiao Ran actually gave me such a good exercise, it's really not good for me, if I can marry Sister Xiao Ran as a wife in the future, how good would it be?"

Late at night, Xiao Ning lay on the bed, looking at the charming moonlight outside the window and said.

A few days later, Xiao Zhan finally came back, but fortunately, in the past few days, Ji Ran did not reveal his identity and returned the position of patriarch smoothly.

"Brother Xiao, how is it? Has the Flood Behemoth been wiped out? Ji Ran asked with a smile.

"Fortunately, although it was eliminated, it also consumed a lot of my fighting energy, and I feel that this time the desolate giant beast seems to be more powerful than the previous one." Xiao Zhan said, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"Did you get any treasure?" Ji Ran asked curiously.

"Naturally, the baby is there, I got the magic core of the desolate beast, just this one magic core, it is enough to buy an entire city, but the real value is invaluable." Xiao Zhan said as he took out a colorful magic core from the ring.

This is the first time Ji Ran has seen the magic core of a Flood Desolate level demonic beast.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, is it really that valuable? With such a magic core, you can buy an entire city? Ji Ran asked in surprise.

"That's nature, and it's still priceless, you must know the destructive power of this desolate beast, it's amazingly big, it can destroy a city casually, its magic core, that's naturally also valuable, and the energy contained in it is enough for a person at the level of a Douhuang to be directly promoted to the level of a Dou Zong." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, Ji Ran was deeply shocked, it seems that this desolate giant beast is really a good beckoning beast.

"Okay, I have to put the demon core away, in case someone sees it, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble again." Xiao Zhan sensed that someone was coming, and quickly put away the demon core.

Soon after, as expected, someone came to the family.

"Patriarch..."I saw a servant of the Xiao family walk into the back hall, and was about to open his mouth to report, when he suddenly saw Ji Ran standing next to him, so he stopped talking.

Xiao Zhan smiled slightly, "Miss Ji Ran is my person, but it doesn't hurt you to talk about it." ”

Hearing Xiao Zhan's words, Ji Ran was stunned, when did I become your person?

However, it soon came to me again, Xiao Zhan seemed to mean that he was not an outsider, right?

"Patriarch, there's going to be a big auction in Kent in three days, maybe there's something you'll need." The servant reported to Xiao Zhan.

"Does anyone else know about this news? Is there anyone in the three major families who are there? Xiao Zhan asked again.

"I haven't heard any news yet, but maybe it won't be, right?" The servant speculated.

"Okay, got it, let's go down." Xiao Zhan nodded and let the servant go down.

After the servant left, Ji Ran looked at Xiao Zhan curiously.

"What? Is Brother Xiao going to the auction? Ji Ran asked strangely.

"Yes, but whenever there is a big auction, I will go to join in the fun, maybe I will meet something good, you know, this Douqi continent is very big, everything is possible." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"By the way, you've been in Utan City for so long, and you haven't participated in an auction yet, have you?" Xiao Zhan looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"Hmm." Ji Ran nodded noncommittally, I heard that the auction venue was very lively, and Ji Ran wanted to go, but if there was no invitation and no auction qualifications, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go if I wanted to.

"Well, in three days' time, you can go with me to the Kent auction house and take you to open your eyes." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Well, I'm thinking about going out and seeing a lot of things." Ji Ran said with a smile.

Three days later, Ji Ran set off with Xiao Zhan.

Kent County is located in the eastern region of the Gamma Empire on the Douqi Continent, and is a relatively prosperous and developed city, both in terms of scale and prosperity, it is far from being comparable to Utan City.

If Kent City is compared to a second-tier city, then Utan City is only at the level of a fourth- or fifth-tier city.

After Ji Ran came to the city of Kent, he found that it was really prosperous, and before he entered the city, he saw the towering church spires from afar, the whole city is located under a cliff, the city is backed by a high mountain, and the front is an open plain, and a winding river surrounds the city, becoming a natural moat.

The walls of Kent City are very high, and it is said that the gates can withstand the full force of a strong man of the Douhuang level.

Ji Ran followed Xiao Zhan into Kent City and found the most prosperous hotel in the city to stay.

This is the most luxurious hotel in Kent, called the Hanging Garden, the hotel is more than 100 meters high, is the second building in the whole city, the first building is the majestic and tall church, the second building is this super hotel known as the Hanging Garden.

Xiao Zhan took Ji Ran into the hotel, because he secretly left the family, so Xiao Zhan and Ji Ran were dressed extremely ordinary, so when they entered the hotel, they were actually treated as civilians.

You must know that this kind of hotel is not something that ordinary civilians can consume, and those who can enter the hotel to consume are either rich or expensive, and those nobles hate to share the luxury here with unqualified civilians, so civilians are the most unpopular group here, and once a commoner enters, they will be driven away by the service staff here as soon as possible.
