Chapter 34: Heavenly Dao City
With so many precious books and materials, Ye Xiu was quickly immersed in them, and this was a full three days, during these three days, Ye Xiu kept reading the jade slips until all the Heavenly Dao coins in his token were consumed, and then he had to leave with a sigh.
Not long after he left, the mysterious old man who had been pretending to be indifferent to Ye Xiu threw the book he was holding in his hand on the table, scratched his ears and cheeks, and looked extremely itchy, only listening to him mutter:
"Hey, hey, hey, this kid... This kid is exactly the same as the old man when he was young, this dedication to books is just... It's just a disciple tailor-made for me! It's a pity that Huang He, a little elm head, took the lead, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!"
Ye Xiu didn't know what the old man complained about after he left, but went straight to the Mission Pavilion of Wuji Peak, now he already knew most of the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures about the Five Elements Attributes, and the next thing to do was to find some clues about these Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures, and the Mission Pavilion was undoubtedly the best place to go.
Sure enough, not long after arriving at the mission pavilion, Ye Xiu found a more suitable task on a C-level mission stone wall:
Quest Content - Explore Yuxi Town and verify evidence of corpse demon activity nearby;
Difficulty of the task - grade C;
Number of Missions--One;
Quest Provision Items - Map of Yuxi Town;
Quest Submission Items - Yuxi Town Intelligence, provide evidence of corpse demon activities if necessary;
Task reward - 300 Heavenly Dao Coins for intelligence, and 1,000 Heavenly Dao Coins for collecting evidence.
On the surface, this task seems to have nothing to do with the heavenly and earthly treasures of the Five Elements attribute, but the word "corpse demon" attracted Ye Xiu, and the corpse demon is a special Dao weapon similar to a puppet that is refined by evil cultivators through human corpses or even living people.
Although it is a corpse, it needs to constantly eat blood to maintain its vitality, so it is an extremely evil thing!
Ye Xiu didn't know much about corpse demons, but he had seen relevant records in books, and the reason why he cared so much about corpse demons was because he knew that in order to make corpse demons, he had to have a wood-based heavenly treasure - Xuanyin Grass.
Xuanyin grass can not only absorb a large amount of yin qi between heaven and earth to make corpse demons, it also contains a large amount of wood attribute aura, although the aura of a single plant is not as much as the fire aura contained in the red flame red lotus, but the Xuanyin grass is a group, once it appears, it grows in patches, if you can really find Xuanyin grass in this Yuxi Town, then Ye Xiu can go one step closer to breaking through the Daoist realm, so he took this task without hesitation.
But Ye Xiu, who took over the task, was in a dilemma after receiving the task item, the map of Yuxi Town, it turned out that this Yuxi Town was located in a remote area, but in the southeast border of the Heavenly Dao Sect's territory, if there was no flying tool like a flying boat, relying on Ye Xiu alone, I am afraid that it would take several months or even longer to just rush back and forth.
Ye Xiu had no choice but to go back to Huafeng first and ask Deacon Du if there was any other way.
Juniper heard that Ye Xiu had something to find him, not only did he not feel troublesome, but he was very happy, after listening to the problem that Ye Xiu encountered, he first pondered for a while, and then said to Ye Xiu in detail:
"Originally, if you need a flying tool, the yellow cranes we draw the peak are the most suitable, but this group of yellow cranes only obeys the orders of the peak master on weekdays, and now the peak master is in retreat, and we can't disturb it at all. ”
Hearing Juniper's explanation, Ye Xiu also frowned slightly, but he listened to Juniper continue:
"However, I still know another way, Ye Xiaoyou might as well give it a try"
"Oh?
"I heard that the headquarters of Wanbao Pavilion in Tiandao City will regularly send large spaceships to various places to purchase and transport goods, these spaceships are not comparable to ordinary flying boats, the space in them is very large, and they will also do some business to carry guests on weekdays, Ye Xiu, you can take the spaceship to Fengdu City first, and then transfer from Fengdu City to Yuxi Town, presumably you can save a lot of time. ”
Ye Xiu, the name of Fengdu City, also knows, it is the closest city to Yuxi Town in the mission map, judging from the map, the scale should be about the same as Wuling City that Ye Xiu has been to before, indeed as Juniper said, if you can fly directly to Fengdu City by spaceship, it will only take one day to reach Yuxi Town at your own speed.
After asking some more about the merchant ships of Wanbao Pavilion, Ye Xiu thanked Juniper and set off for Heavenly Dao City.
It is said that Ye Xiu is still the first time to come to Heavenly Dao City, and when he enters the city, Ye Xiu has truly seen what is called the largest and most prosperous human city in the White Tiger Domain!
Surrounded by a huge city wall as high as 100 zhang, there are countless Qionglou Yuyu in it, according to the customs of human beings here, the entire Tiandao City has four giant gates in the east, west, north and south, each door is guarded by disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and there are people shuttling in and out in front of each giant gate, which is also mixed with various colors of land transportation Dao instruments.
As for the reason why no one in the city took the flying dao machine, it was not because there was none, but because it couldn't, the entire Heavenly Dao City was a huge magic circle that had been constantly improved for thousands of years, and the sky above the magic circle had a huge forbidden air formation in order to defend it, and any flying dao machine or demon beast could not fly here.
In Juniper's introduction before, Ye Xiu knew that there were countless families living in this Heavenly Dao City, and these families were more or less closely related to the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the strongest ones were naturally the families of the current peak masters or elders, and these families controlled most of the assets in the Heavenly Dao City, which could be said to be the largest source of income for the Heavenly Dao Sect.
Of course, in addition to these families, there are also countless scattered cultivators and merchants, among whom there are even masters who even the Heavenly Dao Sect does not dare to offend easily, and the most famous among the merchants is the Wanbao Pavilion that Ye Xiu knows.
Regarding the details of this Wanbao Pavilion, Ye Xiu also deliberately asked Juniper, he didn't know if he didn't ask, but he was shocked when he asked!
Even the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion in Heavenly Dao City turned out to be just a branch, and its real headquarters was far outside the White Tiger Domain, with such a powerful strength, I am afraid that compared to a super sect like the Heavenly Dao Sect, it is not much better!
Following the flow of people, Ye Xiu smoothly entered the Heavenly Dao City, and after a little inquiry, he came to a shop in the Heavenly Dao City of the Wanbao Pavilion.
Although this shop is only a relatively remote shop in the Heavenly Dao City of Wanbao Pavilion, the level of luxury in it is far from being comparable to that of the Wuling City branch!
As soon as I entered it, a well-dressed and sweet-looking girl stepped forward to greet her warmly.
The girl obviously had undergone strict training, and she had been greeting guests in the Wanbao Pavilion all year round, and her eyesight was also extraordinary, and she could recognize at a glance that what Ye Xiu was wearing was a Heavenly Dao uniform that only the true disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect deserved!
And seeing Ye Xiu's age so young, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and at the same time, he secretly guessed Ye Xiu's background, such a young true disciple must be extremely rare in the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Although Wanbao Pavilion is not afraid of the Heavenly Dao Sect, this does not mean that Wanbao Pavilion will not attract potential disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect to expand his development in Heavenly Dao City.
So the smile on the face of the beautiful girl was even stronger, and she said enthusiastically:
"This son, welcome to the Dongcheng Wanbao Pavilion, little woman Bao'er, I don't know what can be served for you?"
Ye Xiu saw that the other party was so enthusiastic, and he was also very satisfied in his heart, so he told Bao'er about the future, and the other party said with a smile after hearing it:
"Ye Gongzi, you are really a good person, just tomorrow, I Wanbao Pavilion happens to have a large merchant ship, I want to set off for Fengdu City, and it is also a gesture to take Gongzi for a ride, it is better for Gongzi to temporarily stay in my Wanbao Pavilion tonight, and board the ship with the caravan early tomorrow morning." ”
After listening to Bao'er's invitation, Ye Xiu would not refuse, and after some thanks, under the personal leadership of Bao'er, he came to a guest room on the third floor to rest, this room is specially used to entertain VIPs in Wanbao Pavilion on weekdays, and the decoration inside is simple and elegant, and all kinds of items are readily available, which is extremely comfortable.
Seeing Ye Xiu's satisfied face, Bao'er said goodbye and left, and went straight to the top floor of the Dongcheng Wanbao Pavilion shopkeeper, and briefly reported what she had just met Ye Xiu.
The big shopkeeper was a fat man of about fifty, who looked full of smiles, and a pair of small eyes on his round big face that attracted special attention, and his smile almost narrowed into a line, if Ye Xiu was present at this time, he would definitely recognize that this person was actually the golden shopkeeper he had seen in Wanbao Pavilion in Qixia Town-Jin Mantang!
Jin Mantang listened to Bao'er's report, nodded incessantly, and when he heard Bao'er describe the age and appearance of the young man, he couldn't help but interrupt and said:
"Wait, you just said that the young man's surname is Ye?"
"Yes, Shopkeeper Jin, if Bao'er remembers correctly, he said his name is Ye Xiu!"
Bao'er saw that the gold shopkeeper was interested, and hurriedly replied.
When the golden shopkeeper heard Bao'er say the word Ye Xiu, he was slightly stunned, and said to himself:
"Is it really him?"
Immediately afterwards, Jin Mantang got up and said to Bao'er who was standing aside:
"Let's go, take me to meet this friend!"
......
A moment later, the door of Ye Xiu's guest room was knocked open, and as soon as the door opened, Jin Mantang's excited voice came:
"Brother Ye, I didn't expect it to be you! This is really the old saying that you are destined to meet thousands of miles away!"
At this time, Ye Xiu also recognized Jin Mantang's round face at a glance, and couldn't help but say in surprise:
"Yes, Brother Jin, I didn't expect to meet you here again!"
Bao'er on the side was shocked, because he knew the golden shopkeeper in front of him, but the people of the Jin family of Wanbao Pavilion, although they were only sidelined, but because they were extremely experienced in business, they were very used by the Jin family, but ten years ago, they were excluded by others in the family, so they had to stay in a remote town as the shopkeeper, and not long ago, because of the relationship within the family, they were assigned to the Dongcheng Wanbao Pavilion as the big shopkeeper.
Bao'er is also extremely intelligent, she deduced that since the golden shopkeeper said that he knew Ye Xiu, it means that the two met in that remote town, a young man from a remote town, and now he has become a true disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, how can she not be shocked!
Ye Xiu's impression of Jin Mantang was extremely good, and the two of them could be regarded as old acquaintances in a foreign country at this time, so the two of them each talked about some recent experiences, and talked about it in the middle of the night.
Finally, when Jin Mantang said goodbye and left, he took out a golden card and handed it to Ye Xiudao:
"Brother Ye, this is our Wanbao Pavilion's golden VIP card, it is a meeting gift for my brother, you must accept it!"
Ye Xiu is no longer the ignorant boy who just came out of a remote town, naturally he knows the value of this VIP card, and he can't help but be even more grateful to Jin Mantang in his heart, thinking that he must find an opportunity to repay the other party in the future, so he accepted the VIP card without shiying.
