Chapter 04: A Chance Encounter

On the first day of January, the first day of the new year, if it is placed in Nie Kong's previous life, it will be the Spring Festival. It's just that in this Heavenly Spirit Continent, there is no such thing as the Spring Festival. However, the "Divine Birthday" on the second day of the second month of February has a significance to the human beings of the Tianling Continent, which can be comparable to the Spring Festival in the previous life.

Now, Nie Kong is more and more integrated into this new world. After dinner, Nie Kong sat cross-legged on the bed, only briefly recalled the scene of the previous Chinese New Year, and began to meditate on the cultivation of the "Muyang True Spirit Technique" until he was woken up by the cry of the little guy in the early morning of the next day.

With a movement of his mind, the "Electric Light Vine" appeared in his palm, and this time Nie Kong gave all the medicinal power he had absorbed to the little guy as food. After eating and drinking, the little one was still sullen, and the two small leaves shook weakly, and the roots were twisted around.

Nie Kong felt quite funny, no matter what emotions Xiangxiang had, she could very vividly express them through the little young seedlings. He knew that the little guy was still thinking about the "fire tree and silver flower" that would appear at auction, and now it was like a little kid who begged for candy from his parents and failed to get his wish, pouting and angry. Of course, Xiangxiang doesn't have a mouth, so she can only pout the small leaves and wrap around her tender roots.

"Ahhh......h

As if sensing that Nie Kong was making fun of himself, the little guy got angry, and his roots jumped and slapped the side wall of Nie Kong's "Spirit Skill Point".

Nie Kong was speechless, this little guy was really greedy, he wanted to keep it for himself when he saw a good thing, but this time it was the "Fire Tree Silver Flower" among the five great medicines of the Heavenly Spirit Continent, and now he didn't know how to be protected by Cheng Feiliu and others, where did he get it?

Shaking his head, Nie Kong propped his palms on the bed board, bounced up, and walked out of the room. At that time, the sky was just showing a faint light......

......

In the north of Jiyang City, it was noisy all night. The wealthy merchants who lived nearby were so frightened by the commotion in the royal courtyard that they couldn't rest all night, for fear that the fights would spread to their own homes. Finally, when the sky was bright and saw that it had stopped a bit, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and evacuated with their family servants to other villages in Jiyang City, planning to move back to live after avoiding this limelight.

At this time, the courtyard of the royal family was already in a mess, and Cheng Feiliu and Cheng Feihong were sitting on top of a pile of ruins, their faces full of exhaustion.

Last night, the two of them dealt with dozens of various attacks in a row, but fortunately, they were prepared and never left the hall for half a step. However, almost all the guards outside were injured, but they did not die, it was not that those people were kind-hearted, but they were worried that they would cause people to die and cause the Nie family to interfere, so they showed mercy, otherwise, the nearly 100 guards would have died a long time ago.

After all, it is rumored in the outside world that Nie Shengong, the great elder of the Nie family, is already a heavenly spirit powerhouse. Even if the legend is false, then Nie Shengong is at least a cave spirit powerhouse. Last night, those people would have some scruples, but tonight, those people knew that the royal reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and they were afraid that they couldn't take care of that much. The temptation of "fire and silver flowers" is so great that it can make some people ignore any obstacle that stands in their way.

"Hey, Brother Huang has sent a letter!"

Cheng Feihong's face was overjoyed, and there was an extra white jade piece in his hand. In his thoughts, a little yellow light did not enter it, however, only after an instant, Cheng Feihong's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice, "Brother Huang said in Lingjian that as soon as he left the national capital, he was constantly intercepted, and it is estimated that it will take three to four days to reach Jiyang City. ”

"What?"

Cheng Feiliu was taken aback, his expression was shrouded in a touch of worry, and his brows furrowed slightly, "It's troublesome now, what did the imperial brother say in Lingjian?"

Cheng Feihong said: "Brother Huang said, if it is really difficult to support, you can ask the Nie family for help." They are also members of the Dacheng Empire, and as long as we speak, they can't stand idly by. In order to let them help each other with all their might, they can also promise to give him a few silver flowers from the Nie family when the 'Fire Tree Silver Flower' grows up. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

Cheng Feiliu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "However, before asking the Nie family for help, the 'Fire Tree Silver Flower' can't continue to stay here." ”

Cheng Feihong was stunned: "The third brother means to quietly send the 'Fire Tree Silver Flower' to another safe place, and then the two of us stay here to attract the attention of those people?"

"Well, this is a good idea, not only to prevent accidents, but also to ask the Nie family for help, without worrying that they will take advantage of the chaos to steal the 'Fire Tree Silver Flower'. But before that, we have to find a way to isolate the aura of the 'Fire Tree Silver Flower', so as not to leak out and be detected......"

“......”

After the cold winter, the ice and snow are covered, and after many consecutive gloomy days, a very rare round of red is hung in the sky. Although the oblique sunlight is hardly warm, the clear and bright sky can make people's mood more comfortable and transparent.

In the morning, Nie Kong walked on the way to Lingbao Pavilion. According to the usual practice, the "Thousand Elixir Society" began on December 30 and did not end until January 4. It was now the third day of the Medicine Festival, and there were still spirit masters hurrying over from all over the country with herbs and elixirs.

Nie Kong wanted to see if he could find some precious and unfamiliar herbs in the Medicine Society, just like those antique lovers in his previous life who went to the antique market to pick up leaks, maybe there were really one or two good things that had not been discovered by his predecessors and had not been verified by the elixir master.

This kind of thing happened in the previous "Thousand Elixir Society". Of course, Nie Kong did this mainly to find something to do for the little guy, so as not to worry about the "fire tree and silver flower" "ahh Nie Kong's attachment to the little guy is really a headache.

"Ahhh......h

The little one suddenly cried out eagerly.

I'm really afraid of something!

Nie Kong's footsteps staggered, and he almost fell. Ami Tofu, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, God of Selling Ga Di...... Nie Kong patted his forehead and recited all the gods and Buddhas at home and abroad in his previous life, praying that the little guy could stop for a while, but unfortunately his chatter was obviously insincere, and the little guy screamed even more excitedly.

Immediately, Nie Kong realized that something was wrong. At this moment, the little guy's cry was obviously not the kind of coquettish anger. That's what it was called at auction, and now it's called that, is there a rare herb in the vicinity that can be compared to "fire tree honeysuckle"?

Subconsciously, Nie Kong quickened his pace.

As soon as he walked to the alley about ten meters away, in the alley to the left of Nie Kong, a young man dressed as a hunter walked out of the side door of a house carrying two baskets.

"Ahhh

The moment he saw Orion, the little guy screamed excitedly.

The Orion closed the door, then picked up the burden and walked forward, Nie Kong's heart moved, and the herb was in the Orion's basket. Nie Kong was about to walk out of the alley and stop the hunter who was about to go away, but as soon as the voice rushed to his throat, Nie Kong was startled.

The back of the hunter and the way he walked made him feel familiar! Nie Kong's body subconsciously retracted into the alley, and the young man he knew after coming to the Heavenly Spirit Continent flashed through his mind like a marquee.

"Four Princes!"

Suddenly, these three words popped into my head.

Nie Kong's heart trembled, and an unbelievable guess popped up, maybe that person was not the hunter who came to this city to deliver prey at all, but really the fourth prince Cheng Zixuan, and what he was carrying in the basket was not another medicinal herb, but the "Fire Tree Silver Flower" that was auctioned off yesterday!
