Chapter 249: The Second Layer of Chemical Gas

I looked at the new grave in front of me, and I was in a very bad mood.

Because I killed Sun Nana.

No, to be exact, I killed that thing that wasn't human, not a ghost.

I knocked out all three ghosts in that body. And put them all into my yin and yang beads. I brought firewood to the body, lit a fire, and burned it.

After burning, I picked up the unburned bones and buried them.

Before I collected the three ghosts into the Yin Yang Bead, I questioned them separately.

Their situation is similar to what I suspected, that Sun Nana is indeed a person from the Jing Sect. She really came for the secret mansion that Lu Laohu was guarding.

However, she hadn't figured out where the secret mansion was, and what was inside was killed by Lu Laohu.

And the other two ghosts, one is Lu Laohu's wife, and the other is Lu Laohu's sister. These two also died at the hands of Lu Laohu.

The soul rope in my hand is the rope used by Lu Laohu's wife, Zhang Xiaoman, to hang herself. Lu Yan and Sun Nana were both strangled to death by this rope. So, there is their obsession on this rope. That's why they've been chasing me and trying to get the rope back.

Again, it was the rope that made it easy for them to keep up with me.

Originally, I thought that the matter of Lu Laohu's family had been dealt with. I really didn't expect that there would be so much trouble.

Forget it, I've already left Lujiaji, and now I don't want to go back.

I spread out and continued to walk towards Chengdu.

When I arrived in Chengdu, I didn't go straight to the city. Instead, I wandered around the suburbs, and I had to find a place to stay.

I can't go to a hotel or hotel now, and if I don't find a place to stay, I'll have to live on the streets.

It doesn't matter if you're on the streets. The main thing is that I have to find a relatively quiet place to take the condensate now, and quickly improve my cultivation.

When I fought the half-living corpse possessed by Sun Nana and the others, I only narrowly won. If it weren't for the soul binding rope in my hand that could balance them, I might not have been able to beat it.

So, I have to improve my cultivation now. Otherwise, if you encounter a strong enemy, it's over. What's more, the people of Qixiamen are now arresting me everywhere.

If they find me, it will be a terrible fight!

But after going around the suburbs for a long time, I didn't find a suitable place.

But just as I was about to give up, a small courtyard that exuded a faint aura appeared in front of me.

Nimbus?

Although this aura is very light, compared to other places, the aura of this place is quite strong.

What surprised me even more was that there was a piece of paper on the gate outside this small courtyard, on which were written the words "for rent" and a phone number.

If I can rent a room in this courtyard, then I will not only have a place to stay, but I will also be able to cultivate here.

Anyway, the aura of this place is of great help to my cultivation.

However, I don't have an ID right now. I don't know if I can rent the house.

"Tuk! Tuk Tuk! I raised my hand and knocked on the door. You'll have to give it a try anyway!

"Who are you looking for?" After I knocked on the door a few times, it was opened. A woman in her forties asked me.

"That...... Hello, do you have a house for rent here? I want to rent a house! I said to her politely.

"yes, you want to rent a house!? How many people live? The woman asked me as she looked me up and down.

"Uh...... That, I'm alone! I replied.

"What are you doing?" The woman questioned me.

I groaned for a while and lied to her that I was in business.

Fortunately, she didn't ask me all the questions, but simply asked me some questions and then said with a pout: "The rent here is expensive!" One thousand and five months, two pay one. If you can accept it, come in and have a look! ”

"There's no problem with this!" Deposit two to pay one, that is, you have to pay three months' rent first, and then you have to pay again every month.

That's pretty good for me. If she had to collect a year's rent at a time, I wouldn't be able to come up with that much money right now.

Then, she took me into the courtyard and showed me around.

In addition to the main house, there are two rooms in this courtyard, east and west.

The main house is occupied by the landlord, and the room on the east side has been rented out. Now there is only the room on the west side.

I walked into the room and took a look, and it was quite spacious. There is also a separate kitchen and bathroom inside. Although the kitchen and bathroom are small, I am already good enough to be alone.

"Okay, that's four thousand five hundred dollars, you count it." I took out the money on my body, counted it, and handed it to her.

"Hehe, the young man is good, refreshing!" The woman took the money and counted it.

I know that the rent in this place should not be so expensive. So she saw me so readily and paid without bargaining with her, which made her very happy.

"Okay! Count right! You clean up! When you're done, I'll bring you the contract and sign it!" The woman said to me.

"Hehe, Sister Xu, let me tell you in advance, I lost my ID card. It's being reissued, don't ask me for my ID card! "She just introduced herself and told me her surname was Xu. That's why I call her Sister Xu. I told her that my name was Xue Chuan, and I didn't tell my real name. Although this is a suburb of the city, I better be careful.

After I finished speaking, Sister Xu raised her hand and said, "It's okay, you don't look like a bad person." Besides, I'm not checking my account! As long as you don't owe me rent! ”

Hearing her say this, I immediately said happily: "Don't worry, I will pay you a year's rent directly before the rent is due next month."

"Oh, don't! I just like to collect it month by month! That's how it feels! She said to me with a smile.

"Okay, it's up to you!" I replied.

This Sister Xu is really special, and other landlords are eager to collect rent for ten or eight years at a time. And she likes to collect month by month.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell you, you Sister Xu and I like to play mahjong. If you give me a year's rent at once, then I will lose all my mahjong in a few days. You give it to me month by month, so that I can have money to play mahjong at any time! Sister Xu said to me.

I see, I'll just say.

But she's also a good way, a long stream.

After some negotiation with her, I went out to buy some daily necessities and came back and cleaned up the house briefly.

I don't have much money left on me now, and I've found a place to stay. I've got to find a way to make some money. When I have made some money, I have to call the old man first to give him some peace.

Then I can cultivate with peace of mind.

After settling in, I walked around the courtyard.

I tried to figure out why this courtyard was so filled with a faint aura. But I walked around the yard a few times and found nothing. I also looked carefully at the room on the west side of my stay, and I didn't find anything special.

It seems that the reason for the aura in this courtyard should be in the east room or the main room.

And I've just moved in now, so it's not convenient to check it out.

So, I'll put it aside for a while and see if there's a chance I'll figure out why.

By the time I was done, it was completely dark. I took a good shower before going to bed.

I haven't really been able to get a good night's sleep in this time.

So, I slept very soundly this night, and by the time I woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

After eating something, I started to cultivate. When I adjusted to the best condition, I took out the condensate liquid that I had refined earlier and started to take it.

After swallowing five drops of condensate, I immediately felt a faint fragrance spread between my lips and teeth, and there was also a warm stream of heat circulating in my stomach.

After the medicinal power in my body was completely digested, I stopped. Then the next day, I took out another five drops of condensate and swallowed it.

After a few days in a row, after I swallowed twenty or thirty drops of condensate liquid, my cultivation finally broke through to the second layer of the condensate.

As a breakthrough in cultivation, I suddenly felt a sense of comfort in my limbs. The True Qi in my body has also strengthened a lot.

"Condensation!" I stretched out my hand and grabbed it slightly, and there was an extra ball of ice in my hand.

Ice Condensation! This is a new skill that I have learned from the Vientiane Recipe when I reached the second layer of Qi Transformation.

Moreover, I now know that cultivation really requires spiritual roots. According to the information provided in the Vientiane Formula, I know that the spiritual root has nine series: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, and darkness. And my spiritual root is very good, it is a very rare ice spiritual root.

This is indeed a very happy thing for me. Ice Spiritual Root, when cultivating ice spells, will be even more like a fish in water. No, my cultivation has just been upgraded to the second layer of Qi Transformation, and I can easily perform the Ice Condensing Technique.

I believe that in the future, as my cultivation improves, I will learn other ice spells.

If I have made a breakthrough in cultivation, I have to think about it quickly and go out tomorrow to make some money.

What I'm best at is looking at yin house feng shui, but in this unfamiliar place, I don't know where to go to find work for a while.

Just as I was thinking about how to make money, there was a knock on the door of my room.

"Xiao Xue, are you at home?" Sister Xu's voice came from the door.

"Here it is!" I answered, and walked over to open the door.

"What's the matter? Sister Xu! I asked Sister Xu.

"That...... I've got something I want you to help me with! Sister Xu said to me.

I looked at her, and my mind was puzzled. I've just moved here for a few days, and I'm not familiar with her! Besides, it's already past eleven o'clock in the evening, what is she asking me for help??
