"Suck and slip."

Sucking a bite of noodles into his mouth, Cheng Lin looked at his mobile phone and sighed silently:

"Life is full of accidents."

Originally, it was just a tentative inquiry, but I didn't expect that this member of the group was really online, and it happened to be in the local cultivator's alley.

Coincidentally, isn't it?

"Yes, passing by here, I heard that the market here is open, and I want to go and see it," Cheng Lin typed with both hands, hesitated, and asked, "Are you on vacation?" ”

Because he is not particularly familiar, he is too sensitive to ask, so Cheng Lin can only be so tentative.

"Out on a mission." The other party replied succinctly.

Cheng Lin sighed, he didn't get to the bottom of it, every cultivator has secrets, and everyone belongs to different bureaus, so it's not convenient to ask in detail, it's just ...... Out of the task? It stands to reason that this person is also a student of the same class as Cheng Lin, and he is still in the school, so he should be practicing in the academy at present, and there is no projection here recently...... I don't know what the mission is.

Pressing the curiosity in his heart, Cheng Lin chatted a few more words, although the other party was not very lively, but it was not difficult to communicate, Cheng Lin expressed his gratitude and cautiously asked if he could meet by the way, and the other party did not refuse:

"Okay, but ...... I'm still on a task here, I can't leave, let's take a look, if it's convenient, I can find a chance to meet later. ”

"Okay." Cheng Lin replied.

After sending this message, he clicked on the other party's avatar in hindsight.

"Countless mountains."

Cheng Lin read it out softly, this is the nickname of the other party, and the gender part is a pink icon, indicating that it is likely to be a woman.

"It's a girl again...... Speaking of which, I still have a lot of fans...... The twin sister flowers of the Sixth Division, and the countless mountain ...... of the Seventh Division This nickname is also interesting, looking at Chang'an in the northwest, pitiful countless mountains...... A word taken from Xin Qiji? Hmm, there's a problem with this name, she's in Chang'an, what else can you ......hope for?"

Cheng Lin shook his head, pressed the phone, and concentrated on dealing with the noodle soup in the bowl.

After eating lunch in five or six minutes, Cheng Lin settled the account and walked out, called another car, and rushed to the location coordinates sent by the "countless mountains".

……

"Are you sure that's it?"

Hit the brakes and stop the vehicle, the taxi driver asked.

"Let's stop here, how much?"

Cheng Lin said indifferently, paid the money, and watched the rental leave, and then he began to look around.

Similar to the cultivator's alley in the magic capital, the location here is also very remote, far from the city center, belonging to a corner of the old city, very remote, there is a dilapidated residential building nearby, dusty, inconspicuous.

"I don't know why the entrance is in such a remote place......

Muttered, Cheng Lin stuffed his hands in the pockets of his coat, walked around the road, and a courtyard without a sign appeared in front of him, the yard was a last century style building, a big elm tree sprinkled a shade, looking quite quiet.

There was no doorman at the gate, Cheng Lin went straight inside, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a young man in ordinary clothes walking out of the building, with a hint of joy on his face, he was stunned when he saw Cheng Lin, and then his expression became a little cautious, and then he took two steps sideways and passed by Cheng Lin.

"This is a cultivator?"

Cheng Lin blinked, and in the depths of his eyes, the exquisite "Aura Field" slowly rotated.

In the field of vision, this young man exuded obvious aura fluctuations, which was very light, only about 2 stages of a product.

At this time, another person came out of the building, his expression was slightly disappointed, and when he saw Cheng Lin, he cast a suspicious and cautious gaze, and he also didn't talk, and passed by.

"Well, this one is weaker than the previous one...... Or is it a product 1 paragraph...... It seems that it should be a local cultivator, the legal kind, and it should not have come to the wrong place. ”

Cheng Lin nodded, secretly guessing.

Without further hesitation, he walked towards the building, and when he entered the door, he saw a huge mirror, facing the gate, two meters high, two large vases on either side of the mirror, a guard's room on the right hand, a long corridor that stretched horizontally, and on the left-hand side, there was an upward marble staircase leading to the upper floor.

"I don't know what floor it is, or, right in front of it."

Cheng Lin looked at the mirror suspiciously, the aura field in the depths of his eyes rotated, the invisible gray mist spread, the field of vision was pulled up, and the 360-degree perception opened, in the new vision, the mirror seemed to turn into a vertical lake, light blue, calm and waveless.

The corners of Cheng Lin's mouth were hooked, and he was about to take a step, when suddenly the guard room next to him opened, and a "janitor" came out of it, and said to him: "You are ......"

"The official office of the Terriers."

Cheng Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned over and took out his temporary documents, unfolded them, faced the other party, paused for three seconds, retracted, stepped forward, and stepped into the mirror.

……

There was a ripple of water.

Cheng Lin crossed this boundary and entered the Chang'an Cultivator Alley.

It feels very similar to when I first entered the enchantment.

Step in.

The noise was coming.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a long street in front of me.

The street is antique, the thick green bricks on the ground are paved, it is very wide, at least two cars can be allowed to pass side by side, there are many shops on both sides, modern buildings and antique Tang style buildings are mixed, the hidden alleys are not open-air, lack of natural light, and the surrounding light is bright, as if entering a lively night market.

"Take a look at the papers." As soon as he landed, Cheng Lin heard someone beside him looking at him.

Turning around, he looked at the person dressed like the official office clerk, he smiled slightly, and handed over the documents.

"Nine Divisions?" The staff was stunned for a moment, swept the chip of the document on the instrument in his hand, confirmed the authenticity, and then smiled, "Welcome!" ”

It seems that they are more respectful of the formal lapels.

"Thank you." Cheng Lin took the papers, put them in his pocket, and began to walk along the streets.

The overall layout is different from the alleys of the magic capital, but it is not big, and there are shops on both sides, but there will be a sign at the entrance of the shop here to write out the function of the store.

Naturally, it can't be compared with the flow of people on the commercial street outside, but roughly speaking, the number of people is more than Cheng Lin expected.

"Probably because it was opened not long ago, so it was more lively?"

Guessing, Cheng Lin did not immediately step into the store, but walked along the entire alley with a curious look, and after a while, he figured out the general layout.

"The shops on both sides are mainly selling and buying...... Precious items that cultivators have come across can be sold here...... Cultivators can also purchase items such as less rare spirit plants, potions, spirit ores, and spiritual products from here...... Most of the cultivation resources can be bought, even low-grade exercises...... There are only no weapons, and it seems that the main purpose here is to provide a legal path of practice in society. ”

Cheng Lin could easily judge this.

The most conspicuous building in the entire alley is the "Quest Hall", which, unsurprisingly, is a place where legal cultivators are given quests and allowed to receive them and exchange them for resources.

After all, those cultivation resources are often expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to buy much after awakening, so doing tasks has become a good way to make money.

"The 'Countless Mountains' claim to be on a mission...... Could it be that you're in the mission hall? Could it be that there will also be assignments for spiritual students here? ”

Cheng Lin suddenly had some doubts, but he didn't go over there immediately, but decided to buy some spirit plants first.

Having made up his mind, he walked briskly into a spirit plant shop.

There were two customers shopping inside, and as soon as Cheng Lin entered, he saw a young clerk walking over, "What do you need?" ”

"Can you tell us about it?" Cheng Lin smiled.

The clerk girl nodded, "Of course, please look at the showcase here......"

Find out.

Cheng Lin probably figured out the products in the store, the overall grade of the spirit plant is much lower, and the ones currently sold are all artificially cultivated, and the value naturally cannot be compared with the wild ones, but what makes Cheng Lin satisfied is that there are many types.

At a cursory glance, there are more than a dozen types in the store, which greatly exceeds his expectations.

"Although most of them don't seem to be of high value......," Cheng Lin complained inwardly.

"In terms of types, these kinds are very suitable for ordinary monks to buy, and we can also earn points when we buy here, and we can also exchange them for goods if we have more points...... Take a look. ”

The little girl who was the clerk pointed to the verdant plants displayed on the display case in a green jade pot.

"Very well, then let's have ten plants of all species." Cheng Lin glanced at the price tags attached to those flower pots, silently calculated them, and said.

"Okay, then there are ...... in total," the clerk girl was halfway through her speech, and was suddenly stunned, as if she had just reacted, "What kind did you say?" ”

"All kinds, the same ten plants, thank you."

Cheng Lin repeated, and after speaking, he looked at the clerk's wide-eyed eyes and suddenly realized a problem.

"Am I a little too much like a nouveau riche......"

“…… I'm sorry, we have a single purchase limit here, and the maximum amount can only be the same three plants......" the clerk explained weakly.

"Then let's go according to the limit, trouble." Cheng Lin said.

"Is that cash, or is it ......?"

"Swipe your card."

"You'll need to show your ID and you'll need to register."

"Okay." Hearing this, Cheng Lin took out the temporary documents and bank cards and handed them over, and the clerk was obviously stunned after seeing his Jiusi documents, and said in a brisk tone, "I'll help you handle it immediately." ”

"Wait." Seeing the clerk turn around, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered something and called her to stop.

"What's the matter?"

Then, in the surprised eyes of the little girl of the clerk, Cheng Lin reached out and took out a dark green document in his pocket, and the cover was written in gilded font with the words "Modu Reiki Science Research Institute".

"That...... It seems that my research assistant certificate can be discounted, can you show it? ”

……

Ten minutes later, Cheng Lin pinched an invoice and walked out of the store satisfied.

The back is chic.

It was only when he walked far away and came to a remote place that the "indifference" on his face turned into a painful expression:

"My money......"
