Chapter 232: The Old Man of Maple Grove City

On the way, three days passed unconsciously.

In three days, Gu Cheng successfully completed the expected breakthrough work.

Not only did he raise the "Tongtian Sword Technique" from the fifth layer to the sixth layer, but at the same time, he also completely absorbed and refined the mysteries of the sword techniques that poured into his mind, and truly became his own thing, in other words, it can also be said that he completely mastered the content of the sixth layer of the "Tongtian Sword Technique".

Of course, the newly derived kendo supernatural power was also included, and they were mastered together.

Although the cultivation realm has not been improved, it is still the realm of the first Jindan stage, but the upgrade of the "Tongtian Sword Technique" has greatly improved Gu Cheng's strength, not to mention the transformation of rebirth, but in the face of his previous self again, Gu Cheng has already been sure of victory, this is the change and confidence brought to him by the sixth layer of the "Tongtian Sword Technique".

Now that his strength has really reached the average level of the disciples of the main peak of the first vein of the Purple Mountain, he was actually quite inferior before.

After all, the cultivation of the disciples of the main peak of the first line of the Purple Mountain is generally in the late stage of Jindan and even the Jindan consummation realm, compared to Gu Cheng, the cultivation in the early stage of Jindan is really a bit insufficient, even if there is a bonus increase in top exercises such as "Burning Heaven Scroll" and "Ancient Python Beast Giant Cultivation Secret Method", his overall strength is still much inferior.

However, this time, the "Heavenly Sword Technique" broke through from the fifth layer to the sixth layer, and Gu Cheng's comprehensive strength was greatly improved, which undoubtedly made up for the gap in between.

As a rookie disciple who has just started for just a few months, Gu Cheng's progress speed is actually quite amazing, and as an ordinary disciple, even if it takes a few years, he may not be able to reach such a level.

It's different from those small sects and small forces. In the highly competitive top sect forces, as long as they can reach the average, they can actually be regarded as the best among their peers.

So there is also such a saying, in the top ten super sects, as long as it can catch up with the average, put it outside. That's genius.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in my ears all the time, and it didn't stop all the way.

"Appeal ......"

"Master Immortal, there is Maple Forest City in front of you...... You see, is it going straight into the city, or? ”

Wang Dabeard slowly stopped the carriage, then turned back and asked respectfully.

As he spoke, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and stood respectfully beside it.

Although the immortal master's money is relatively easy to earn, it is also much more dangerous. Wang Dabeard knew this very well in his heart, so he didn't dare to be the slightest transgression and disrespect along the way, but was careful and respectful to the extreme, for fear that there would be a slight mistake, which would attract the anger of the young immortal master in the carriage.

But fortunately, this young immortal master seems to have a good temper.

"Arrived in Maple Grove?"

Gu Cheng poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the majestic city gate not far away, with three big characters carved on the city tower. It was "Maple Grove City", he nodded slightly. That's where he ended up on this journey.

"Since you have already arrived in Fenglin City, then you don't have to send me anymore, I can enter the city by myself."

As he spoke, Gu Cheng got out of the carriage.

At the same time, with a shake of his right hand, three crystal spirit stones appeared in front of Wang Dabeard, and Wang Dabeard hurriedly caught it. Seeing the three good crystals in his hand, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, "Immortal Master, you are ...... Too much. ”

Three lower-grade spirit stones. For Gu Cheng, it's just a drop in the bucket, not even a drop in the bucket, but for an ordinary person, it's a lot of wealth.

A low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for more than 100 taels of silver, and three lower-grade spirit stones, that is, more than 300 taels of silver.

"It's nothing to me, you can take it." Gu Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

"But if you're going to exchange gold and silver, you'd better be cautious."

Gu Cheng thought for a moment, and then instructed again.

He wanted to give gold and silver, but there was not much on him, although he had no friendship with Wang Dabeard, but he didn't want this coachman to be targeted by others because of these few spirit stones, and even cause death, so he would make a special order.

"Thank you Immortal Master for your advice, the villain knows, the villain knows!" The bearded man nodded again and again, and his gratitude was obvious.

Gu Cheng didn't say anything more.

Soon, he walked towards Maple Grove City.

……

Maple Grove City is not an ordinary city, but a fairy city, in other words, a city where monks live.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the people in the city are monks who can fly around practicing the Dao, there are also many ordinary people in it, after all, even if they are monks, many food, clothing, housing, and transportation work are inseparable from ordinary people.

It's just that compared to other ordinary cities, the monks here occupy a higher rank, and in reality, the boundary between ordinary people and monks is not so strict, some people are ordinary people today, maybe tomorrow, they will become monks, this is a possible thing.

Since it is a fairy city, it is naturally a little different from an ordinary city.

The higher monk is only one aspect, and the defense of the city is another manifestation of the difference between the two.

Compared with ordinary cities, the defense of the immortal city is much more severe and powerful, not only there are many monks patrolling and guarding all over the city wall, but there are also many formation prohibitions and protections in the entire city, even if they are attacked by a large army, they can completely resist for a period of time with these formation prohibitions, and such an immortal city, there will basically be first-class powerhouses.

Such first-class powerhouses are basically well-known monks who have already made a name for themselves on the mainland, not only are their cultivation profound, but their supernatural powers are even more powerful, which is far from being comparable to a young monk like Gu Cheng.

"Entrance fee, a spirit stone."

The captain of the guard in front of the city gate was also a Jindan monk, his eyes fell on Gu Cheng, and he instantly judged Gu Cheng's identity as a monk, and then spoke lightly.

Ordinary people enter the city, there is no need to pay a fee, but monks. But you need to pay spirit stones.

Because ordinary people are not a threat, but monks, they may bring trouble, of course, in fact, it is to increase their income.

As for Gu Cheng's identity and origin, they didn't ask.

It's just a spirit stone. Gu Cheng couldn't make a mistake about this, besides, this was originally the rule of Fenglin City, everyone else had paid, and he was not alone, so Gu Cheng naturally had no opinion.

He quickly paid a spirit stone, and then he successfully passed the examination of the city gate, and almost without any delay, he successfully entered the Maple Forest City.

"Maple Grove City, it seems to be really a little different from the game."

"Still. It's pretty much the same, and there's not much difference. ”

Walking into the city and seeing the flower-like scene in front of him, Gu Cheng couldn't help but sigh a little, and at the same time couldn't help muttering to himself in his heart.

Although it was the first time he came to Maple Grove City in this life, he had been here in the game in his previous life, and he didn't know how many times, and even this Maple Grove City was one of his strongholds in the game. It's just too familiar to be here.

The reason why he set his first "target" here was because Maple Grove City was relatively close to the location where his Black Sand River was located. On the other hand, it is also because I am very familiar with Maple Grove City.

Because he is familiar with it, he can do things easily, and his plan can be rolled out smoothly.

"It's a pity that the friends in the game are no longer there, otherwise, it might have been easier. Alas......"

Gu Cheng shook his head with a smile.

He did not stand still as he spoke, and soon walked along the street, towards the front.

Fenglin City is indeed worthy of the name of Immortal City, not only a large number of ordinary people are looking for "immortal opportunities" here, but also monks within a radius of 100 miles also like to gather here. Among them, there are not only a large number of scattered cultivators, but also a large number of sect disciples from the major forces in the vicinity, and so on, together create the prosperity of the entire Fenglin City, not to mention what is famous in the Central Plains, but in the vicinity, it is prominently famous.

Walking on the streets of Fenglin City, listening to the incessant shouting and selling sounds next to him, and listening to the noisy discussions one after another, Gu Cheng not only did not get irritable, but his face was filled with a smile.

Such a scene brought him a very familiar feeling.

And at this time, a middle-aged man in a green robe and a felt hat blocked his way very uninterestingly.

Gu Cheng was slightly stunned.

Immediately finding that the other party seemed to be intentional, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and asked, "This friend, is there something?" ”

"My master is invited."

Although the middle-aged man who blocked the way was just a Void Dan stage monk, he did not have any cowardice or fear in the face of Gu Cheng, on the contrary, his demeanor was natural, and he was vaguely arrogant.

Although he said it politely, the meaning in his words was that he had to go to Gu Cheng.

"We know each other?"

Hearing his words, Gu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't know." The middle-aged man shook his head honestly and replied.

"Then why should I listen to you?" Gu Cheng restrained his smile, his expression turned cold, and he asked lightly in an unkind tone.

"Uh......"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, maybe it was because Gu Cheng's attitude changed too much all of a sudden, which made him a little overwhelmed.

"Since I don't know each other, let's get out of the way, whether you have something to do or not, but I do have something to do, and I don't have time to talk to you here slowly."

"Although it is said that you can't do anything in Maple Grove City, if you insist on making trouble with me, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

Gu Cheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said directly with an expressionless face.

With that, Gu Cheng walked forward directly.

At this time, the middle-aged man finally reacted, and immediately stopped in front of Gu Cheng again, and at the same time said urgently, "Please listen to me." ”

"How?"

"Do you really want to do anything with me?"

Being so entangled by an inexplicable person, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be a little annoyed at this time, and blocked the way again and again, does this guy really think he is easy to bully?

Thinking like this, Gu Cheng's expression couldn't help but turn cold.

"No, no, I just want to say that my master and you are old acquaintances, so please be sure to appreciate your face for a while."

In the face of Gu Cheng's tough attitude, the middle-aged man was also much more cautious when he spoke again, and at the same time lowered his attitude and explained carefully.

"My old acquaintance?"

Gu Cheng smashed his mouth, and at the same time, his mind quickly turned and recalled, he had never been to Maple Forest City before, and there must be no old knowledge in Maple Forest City, as for the old knowledge in the Central Plains, it seemed that he only knew those people in Sunset Mountain, and the others didn't know a few at all.

Who is this so-called old knowledge?

For a while, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be a little curious.

He didn't think that the middle-aged man in front of him would lie to him, not to mention that he had a keen sense of insight, if the other party lied, he couldn't hide his eyes at all, and the other party didn't need to lie to him at all. 、

And what made him even more curious was that the other party seemed to have been prepared, even if he would come to this Maple Forest City, otherwise, he would not find him as soon as he entered the city.

"Who is your master?" Gu Cheng asked tentatively.

Hearing Gu Cheng's question, the middle-aged man laughed instead, shook his head and explained, "After you pass, you will naturally know that without the permission of the master, I don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and could only give Gu Cheng an apologetic look.

"Then where is your master waiting for me?" Gu Cheng asked again.

"It's around the corner at the Tea Pavilion." Seemingly understanding the worry in Gu Cheng's heart, the middle-aged man pointed to a teahouse not far away and explained to Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng looked in the direction he was pointing, and soon saw this three-story "Xiangming Pavilion".

Although the teahouse is not high, the decoration is very delicate and stylish, and it is obviously not an ordinary place.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this Tea Pavilion is next to the street, if there is really any accident, he can leave at any time, and naturally there will be no danger.

In this Maple Forest City, few people dare to really fight.

If you really do that, you will inevitably face the wrath of Maple Grove City, which is not something that ordinary people can afford......

Thinking about it like this, Gu Cheng was also a lot more relieved.

Looking up at the middle-aged man waiting in front of him, he nodded slightly and said, "In that case, then you lead the way, I hope you don't disappoint me." ”

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

The middle-aged man grinned a strange smile, and then he led the way forward.

Gu Cheng followed him.

The two soon came to the Tea Pavilion.

Ascending to the box on the second floor, Gu Cheng finally saw the so-called old man, and he was indeed not disappointed, because ...... It was completely unexpected. (To be continued......)
