Chapter 410: The Old Man
Prosperity, this is the intuitive feeling that Diyue City gave Shen Cong. However, since entering the Gale Country, all the cities passed along the way are very prosperous, and all kinds of facilities are complete, whether it is entertainment or other things, so this phenomenon in Earth Moon City is not surprising. The only thing that makes Earth-Moon City a little different from other cities may be that it is big.
The super huge city, Shen Cong had deliberately lifted off to check the Earth Moon City before, but he couldn't see the edge at a glance, and could only vaguely see that there were still figures moving in the distance. This is the largest city Shen Cong has ever seen, and there is no one. What kind of energy would be required to build such a city, Shen Cong could not imagine that even if a cultivator's ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people, it would definitely not be possible to create a male city like Earth Moon City overnight.
The crowd was surging, and Shen Cong originally wanted to find an inn to live in, but he hadn't found a satisfactory place to stay, but he first found the mark of Baixiao Pavilion. There were too many things to know in his heart, and Shen Cong walked directly into Baixiao Pavilion. Like Baixiao Pavilion in other places, the front is full of shops that fool ordinary people, and the real Baixiao Pavilion is in the back.
"What do you need?" said the Dark Shadow flatly.
"This is the task I released in your Baixiao Pavilion, I don't know if there is any news now!" Shen Cong took out a piece of jade, which was given by Baixiao Pavilion after the task was released. The Black Shadow took the jade and handed it to the rear, and after the tea effort, the jade reappeared in the Black Shadow's hand.
"The task was not substantially completed, and we only found some clues if you wanted to find these people, and we followed the clues, but in the end we found nothing. If the difficulty of the task exceeds the estimate at the time, you can cancel the task, or add 30% of the task money and continue to publish the task!"
"Yes!"
Shen Cong's brows furrowed slightly, not because of the extra task money, but because the trouble of the matter was beyond Shen Cong's expectations. Even Bai Xiaoge couldn't do anything after such a long time, if he let Shen go to find it by himself, it would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Shen Cong agreed to add the task money, and it didn't cost much to release the task at the beginning, even if it was added by 30%, it didn't have any effect.
And really calculated, it is still Baixiao Pavilion that loses. Because of their miscalculations, the first time they were paid too little. Later, when they find that the task is difficult, they can't raise the price at will, they can only come according to the ratio of 30%, and if the customer agrees, then they must continue the task all the time, and they can't add any more gratuities.
The black shadow brushed on the jade, a burst of bright light flashed out, and then dimmed, this task was raised to a higher level, and it would be completed by a more powerful person, all Shen Cong needed was to wait for news.
"Do you have any special contact methods, but when the mission is completed, you can send the information?" Baixiao Pavilion is huge, but not in every city. This is the case in the Gale Country, and I am afraid that the situation will be even worse in other weak countries.
"The communication stone can only be a reminder, but cannot convey complex information. The black shadow took out something similar to a conch and placed it on the table, and a strange wave rippled out, echoing the environment behind the black shadow. Shen Cong picked up the conch, and he couldn't see anything special, and he couldn't even distinguish the material, but the function of reminding him was enough.
After all, this place is different from the complete technological world of the previous life, in which the power of individuals was weakened to the minimum, but the power of science and technology is incomparably huge. In this life, it is just the opposite, individuals can cultivate to the point of penetrating the heavens and the earth, but in many places, it is indeed not as good as the place of science and technology. There are two sides to everything, and nothing is perfect.
"I also need information about Ni Tianguo and the True Spirit Hall. ”
Two more jade slips appeared on the table, and Shen Cong paid enough to leave Baixiao Pavilion. These fixed information can be viewed in a quiet place, and there is no need to stay here longer. The stronger the strength, the more Shen Cong felt that Bai Xiaoge was weird, and it seemed that there was always an invisible force observing him. It's a place you shouldn't stay in for long, but now you need to use it, and you have to touch it.
In a city like Diyue City, there will definitely be no shortage of inns and restaurants, after all, the mobility of the population here is very large, and there is not enough place to live, which will bring a lot of trouble. Where there are interests, there are always those who know how to do business, and the profit-driven type is the same no matter where it is.
asked for a room in an inn, Shen Cong was just about to go upstairs, but his footsteps stopped suddenly, and his expression was a little surprised. Shen Cong took a few steps back and looked towards the location of the hall. It wasn't a meal at the moment, but there were still many people eating here, and Shen Cong's gaze fell on the two people.
An old man, dressed in shabby clothes, was constantly drinking wine, and did not move the food on the table, looking like an ordinary old man. The other is a young man, full of vitality, with a blade tied to his back, and although his breath is not public, he can feel the fierceness in it.
Such a combination is very common, and there is nothing special about it, but for Shen Cong, the two of them are special, because this is an acquaintance, an acquaintance of Ni Tianguo! After Ni Tianguo for so long, Shen Cong is still the first time to see an acquaintance, and his mood can't help but fluctuate slightly at this moment, although for these two people, Shen Cong is not very familiar.
With Shen Cong's gaze, the old man did not react, but the young man turned his head and looked at it, it was a little casual, but the moment he saw Shen Cong, he was also stunned, it seemed to be a little surprised, and more hesitantly, as if he was also doubting Shen Cong's identity.
Seeing this young man's expression, Shen Cong understood that he had not recognized the wrong person, this young man with the blade on his back was Jun Qian, and the other old man was a mad Daoist, a mad Daoist who was famous in Ni Tianguo. Shen Cong walked towards the two, the madman still didn't react, but Jun Qian's face showed a smile.
The four joys of life, and meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is one of them. Although there is no such thing in this life, it is indeed a rare experience to be able to meet acquaintances here.
"Xiao Er, add a pair of chopsticks!" Jun Qian laughed loudly, and at the same time kept looking at Shen Cong, "I haven't seen you for many years, I didn't expect you to have reached the peak of the fifth-order opening vein, I heard that you left the Luoshui Sect, I thought you were just traveling in Ni Tian's country alone, but I didn't expect to come to such a far place." ”
"Only when you come out can you know the vastness of the outside world! Not to mention my cultivation, now you are already a sixth-order powerhouse. "Sixth-order, Jun Qian, who was still a fifth-order Jun Qian at the beginning, has now reached the sixth-order Xingyun, and it is not the early stage, but the early stage of the sixth-order Xingyun. However, this is not surprising, at the time of the fifth order, Jun Qian obtained the title of True Spirit Hall, that is, he recognized Jun Qian's potential.
Although he was defeated in the hands of Shen Cong at the beginning, no one would think that Jun Qian was too weak. And there is a strong person like a mad Taoist as a master, how can he be weak, and today's cultivation can only be said to be a matter of course.
"I lost in your hands back then, but I was still angry. I wanted to fight you again before breaking through, but unfortunately I couldn't find you, so I had to break through first. Xiao Er sent dishes and chopsticks, Shen Cong and Jun Qian clinked glasses to each other and drank down.
"But I also admire you, although I was a little unwilling to lose in your hands at the beginning. But now that you've come to Gale Nation alone, you know how resilient you are. I must have experienced a lot of difficulties along the way, and if I hadn't been brought by my master, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dared to come to such a far place. Jun Qian said, glancing at the madman. But the madman didn't respond much, and his whole mind was on the wine.
Jun Qian was already used to all this, and Shen never had to care. Shen Cong glanced at the mad Daoist a few times, his eyes flashed, it must be the strength of the sixth-order overlord, and his aura fluctuated slightly, it was not far from the seventh-order moving mountain, thinking that the mad Daoist was already preparing to start breaking through. However, for the breakthrough of the seventh order, even people like the mad Dao people did not dare to be careless, and when they were not the most sure, they were afraid that they would not act rashly.
"When you break through to the sixth order one day, we'll have another discussion. Jun Qian said with a smile, although he didn't care about that failure, he had always been in his heart after all. Wait for Shen Cong to break through the sixth order, Jun Qian will suppress his cultivation in the early stage of the sixth order, and then have a good fight!
Shen Cong smiled, and did not continue on this topic, and instead asked about other things, such as the situation in Ni Tianguo. However, Jun Qian didn't know much about this, because a long time ago, probably a few months later than Shen Cong, Jun Qian also left Ni Tianguo, and at that time, the Beast Control Sect was not so ambitious.
"You're here for the True Spirit Hall, aren't you? But the time hasn't come yet, and you'll have to wait a few days. But you can also go to the Hidden Spirit List first to see where you can stand. ”
"Hidden Spirit List?" Shen Cong was stunned, knowing that this should be something related to the True Spirit Hall. I was in a hurry before, but I didn't have time to read the news about the True Spirit Hall in my hand.
"yes, the Hidden Spirits. The last time I came, I couldn't make the list, and this time I must engrave my name on it!" Jun Qian looked confident.
"Good luck then. ”
"We can go together, and your potential must not be low. Sometimes it's not enough to just get a title, if you can show up on the list of hidden spirits, it's even more important. Why don't we go to the Hidden Spirit List tomorrow, and maybe we can meet other young heroes!"
"Yes, you can call me then, this is the number of my room!"
Shen Cong nodded, and he was also interested in the hidden spirit list. After chatting with Jun Qian for a few more words, Shen Cong said goodbye and left, anyway, he could talk about it in the next few days, and it would not be so long.
"It's not easy. The madman looked at Shen Cong's back and suddenly said loudly.
"What's not simple?" Jun Qian looked at him with some puzzlement.
"If it's not simple, it's not simple, how can you say it so clearly. The madman raised his head and drank the wine, and the wine jug seemed to be a treasure, and no matter how he poured it, the wine could not be poured out.
"Master, don't pretend to be superior, you can't tell it yourself. Jun Qian said with a smile.
"It's really a little hard to see, and I always think that kid is extraordinary. When he breaks through to the sixth order one day, maybe you still won't be able to beat it. ”
Jun Qian was slightly stunned, but immediately smiled, "Who knows if I haven't tried it, I am different from the beginning." ”
In the room, Shen Cong took out two pieces of information jade slips and pasted them on his forehead.
