Ninety-two, convergence
"Senior Brother Chen, you still have this ring knife in your hands, you saved the lives of my master and apprentice, I am already very grateful, how can I be embarrassed to take things again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
The bald barbarian monk was also unlucky, in order to covet the old mother of Jinghu for a Yuangang short sword, but he lost a pair of his ring knives, so that at least half of his ability to come to the body was gone. Chen Peng took this ring knife but it was useless, he himself had a Yuan copper stick, which was much easier than this ring knife, and the Yuan Steel Sword distributed by the sect had not been used yet, and adding a Yuan Steel Ring Knife would have no other use except for waste.
"Miss Mi, you're welcome, I have my own blade, and I can't use this sword. What's more, you have empty hands, and now our Liuzhou is not very peaceful, and you took this ring knife just to defend yourself. β
"I ...... , I don't know how to use knives," Mi Xian'er whispered, "Besides, this ring knife is too cumbersome." β
"Oh," Chen Peng patted his head and said, "Look at my brain, I don't know what to think." This ring knife is paired with Miss Mi, which is too inappropriate. In this way, I will keep this ring sword, and this Yuangang sword will be used by you. β
Saying that, Chen Peng urged his vitality, took out the Yuan Steel Sword issued by the sect from the space bag and handed it to Mi Xian'er. Mi Xian'er took it in her hand and weighed it, although this Yuan Steel Sword was used by a man, it was still a bit long for her, but after all, it was much more suitable than the Yuan Steel Ring Knife.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen," Mi Xian'er said with a smile, "But this Yuan Steel Sword was lent to me by you, and I will return it to you when the barbarians retreat." β
"Okay," Chen Peng said with a smile, "I can't bear to give you away, and then you will have to return it to me with interest." β
"Huh?" Mi Xian'er's pretty face fell, "There is still interest......"
"That's not it, it's hard for you to use it in vain," Chen Peng didn't want to be in the city, so he changed the topic and said, "Miss Mi, what realm have you cultivated to now?"
"Alas," Mi Xian'er sighed and said, "When I participated in the Xigeng Sect Entrance Competition, I had already cultivated to the realm of Xiaocheng, and opened up the fourteen meridians, but now I have only cultivated to the realm of Dacheng, which is far worse than you." β
Chen Peng pondered for a moment, Mi Xian'er's qualifications were similar to Wu You's, they were all middle-class and upper-grade qualifications, only slightly better than Wu You, according to the normal situation, it would take nearly thirty years to cultivate to the realm of consummation.
"Miss Mi, you can take these bottles of pills, and after taking them, you can cultivate faster. Chen Peng took out a few bottles of Jinzhi Dan and handed them to Mi Xian'er. Although it is said that the wealth is not exposed, but Mi Xian'er and their two brothers are old friends, although this girl is a bit ghostly, but her nature is also kind. Last time, she was not able to join the Xigeng faction, but the distance between her and Chen Peng and Wu You was a little far, originally they were all loose cultivators in Huangshi County, and the situation was almost the same, but since then, I am afraid that the gap will become bigger and bigger. Not to mention anything else, Chen Peng and Wu You will definitely step into the realm of supernatural powers, but it is just a matter of time. But the old mother of Jinghu has no supernatural powers, even if Mi Xian'er cultivates to the realm of advanced Great Perfection, there is no supernatural power for her to cultivate, if there is no other opportunity, I am afraid that she will be trapped in this advanced realm for the rest of her life. Although she is still young, she can still participate in the next Xigeng faction competition, but this is all a later story, and who can say clearly what will happen in the future.
Meeting Mi Xian'er this time, Chen Peng obviously felt that the two were a little more separated than before, and Mi Xian'er's attitude towards him was not as casual as before, with a faint hint of awe. Chen Peng was not very accustomed to this, he didn't feel that he was superior to others if he joined the Xigeng faction, and immediately had the idea of helping Mi Xian'er in his heart. Whether it is a gift of swords before, or a gift of Jin Zhidan, it is for this purpose.
"What kind of elixir is this?" Mi Xian'er took the golden zhidan, uncorked the bottle and smelled it, but she didn't know it. The old mother of Jinghu on the side came over and sniffed it, her face changed, but she was a knowledgeable person.
"This ...... , which is too precious. "Jinghu's old mother has the heart to say words of thanks, but she can't say it, these bottles of pills can help Mi Xian'er save a few years of hard work, how can she say it.
"Xian'er, thank you Chen Gongzi quickly. "Jinghu's mother originally called Chen Peng her nephew, but now she has even upgraded her title.
"Ahh......h
"Senior, Miss Mi, why be so polite, we are old acquaintances, and now I have the ability to help, so naturally I want to help, it's just a trivial matter, why worry about it." β
"Thank you, brother. Mi Xian'er still thanked her in a low voice, although she didn't know what was in the bottle, but seeing that the master was so solemn, it must be a very valuable thing.
"Xian'er, in this bottle is the elixir that the master once told you that can quickly restore your vitality, with this thing, you can save a lot of things every time you cultivate, and these bottles of elixir can help you reduce your penance for several years. β
"Ah?!" This was really a bit unexpected for Mi Xian'er, and she immediately squatted down towards Chen Peng and saluted, "Thank you, senior brother, for giving Dan." β
"It seems that Xian'er, you still have to work hard and strive to be able to worship the Xigeng sect and practice. The foundation of our scattered cultivators is too thin, and only by worshipping into the cultivation sect can we continue on the road of cultivation. β
At this time, the old mother of Jinghu thought that she was wrong, she thought that Chen Peng's pills were all distributed by the sect, but she didn't know that according to Chen Peng's current status in the sect, it would take three months to receive Fang Yuangang, and she didn't know how long she would have to wait to buy a bottle of pills. He can have such a thick family background, but he got it by secretly prying the corners of the wall. As the saying goes, it's easy to come and go, and it's not distressing to go, if these pills are bought by his slow accumulation of a few square meters of steel a year, if he wants to give them out so quickly, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
"Miss Mi, you should be careful when you take these pills, you must know that your wealth is not exposed, don't let other monks see it, and don't reveal the origin of these pills. Chen Peng thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy, and instructed two sentences.
"This is natural, Xian'er is not a person who does not know what to do, and she should obey her senior brother's orders. β
The three of them didn't dare to delay along the way, picking up the remote wilderness and hurrying, not that they were afraid of the barbarian monks, but more things were better than less, so they hurried to Xiping City to join the other monks in Huangshi County. It was only a day or so of work, and the three of them came to the outside of Xiping City. This Xiping City is familiar with the road for the three people, at this time the city gate is already martial law, the city gate is closed, only a small side gate is left for passage, there are heavy guards at the door, and the people who enter and exit are strictly checked.
The three of them would not accept the interrogation of mortals, but if they broke in, they didn't want to cause a riot, so they all found a remote city wall, crossed the wall, and entered the city. Although this wall is four or five zhang high, it is an insurmountable difficulty for ordinary people, but to the monks it is as if it does not exist.
After entering the city and identifying the direction, the three of them went all the way to Huangshibo's mansion, and after a while, they came to the front of the mansion. Now the three of them no longer jumped in as they did when they entered the city, but went to the gatehouse and let the doorman go in.
"Oh, Jinghu Daoist, if you are far away, please come in quickly. After a while, three people came out of it, one of whom was Huang Shibo, and the voice came out of his mouth. Chen Peng also knew the two people on the left and right, one was Bi Yunxuan, a monk in the Great Xia Army, and the other was Gongsun Qi, but he was the head of the Xigeng faction in the Xiping City Dojo. These three people can be said to represent the forces of the imperial court and the Xigeng faction, but among the three, Huang Shibo is the main one.
Although the Great Xia royal family was the most powerful cultivation force in the Great Xia Kingdom, in fact, the main territory was in the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom and several surrounding states, while the other states had their own cultivation forces. Super factions like Zixiaomen and Evergreen Sect, although their strength is still not as good as that of the Great Xia royal family, they are not too far behind. Several super sects can join forces, and they can also bow down to the Great Xia royal family.
Therefore, although the Xiuzhen sects in the various states of the Great Xia Kingdom are respected by the Great Xia royal family, they actually still have considerable autonomy, and their relationship with the Great Xia royal family is like an alliance, and the Great Xia royal family is the leader of the alliance. Therefore, although the Great Xia Kingdom has garrisons in various states, and there are monks in the garrisons, often these monks are not highly cultivated, and only play a role of liaison and supervision, like Gongsun Qi is just a cultivator who has advanced to the Great Perfection. Only the monks in the garrison of Dingyuan City, Liuzhou Prefecture, are in the realm of supernatural powers, but they are only in the realm of supernatural powers. The power of the royal family of the Great Xia Kingdom in Liuzhou can be said to be far inferior compared to that sent by Xigeng. These Bactria royal monks stationed in various states also played the role of liaison and supervision, and the symbolic significance was greater than the reality.
Correspondingly, although the officials of each state are nominally officials of the Great Xia Kingdom, and are appointed by the imperial court, in fact, they are all the local sects of each state and report the list, and the imperial court only plays the role of a rubber stamp. Fortunately, like Liuzhou, there is only one sect in the territory, the Xigeng faction, and the upper and lower bureaucrats are all one faction. For example, in Xizhou, which borders Liuzhou, there are two sects, the Duliang faction and the Tianjianmen, and the officials in various places are the result of the game of checks and balances between the two sects. But this can't be helped, although the strength of a Xiuzhen sect depends on the number of monks and the level of the realm, but the monks are all masters, like those mining, collecting medicine and other things where will they do it themselves, these things of collecting natural materials and treasures are all done by the yamen and people everywhere.
