Volume 5: The First Song 2: The First Visit to Ruixuan Town

The salt greed beast seemed to be reluctant to leave this valley, and the few who caught up with the five people were strangled by Li Jian and Yan Xuan, and at this point, the five people were able to get rid of the pursuit of the salt greed beast like a dark cloud.

Qian Chao sat on a stone and gasped, his aura was lost, so he took out the spirit wine and drank it, but while drinking it, he looked at the city in the distance.

"There...... Is it Ruixuan Town? Yan Xuan looked there and asked.

"Yes, that's Ruixuan Town." Tang Ping said.

"It's big! It's about the same as the incense city where my house is located, this ...... Is it really just a town? Yan Xuan said again.

"Yes, it's a lot bigger than Luojingcheng, and it's bigger than Liangdu!" Li Jian also sighed.

"Hehe, it's much better than the county I've been to before!" This is Lu Pingchuan's exclamation.

"Such a big city can only be called a town, so how big can this big city in the cultivation world be?" Qian Chao said.

"I haven't been to it either, but I've heard of a few big cities, well, such as Luohai City, Cloud Dance City and Youxiang City, all of which are famous big cities, and we must go to see them when we can go out in the future." Tang Ping said.

The Ruixuan Town seen by the five people in front of them, it really has the spirit of a big city, looking at it from a distance, a piece of roof tile houses, row upon row, houses such as well fields, roads such as Qianmo, there are pavilions and bridges and cornices in the meantime, dotted among them, pavilions are lined up, staggered, compared with the capital city of the ordinary world, it is just that the periphery of Ruixuan Town does not have that circle of solid and unshakable city walls.

"Eh, if there are all monks here, why don't you see anyone?" Lu Pingchuan suddenly asked again.

"Brother Lu, you are not allowed to fly when you enter Ruixuan Town, you can only use it inside."

"Oh."

"This Ruixuan Town is also a big city that our Five Spirits Sect is striving to build, and the pattern and rules are all in accordance with the standards of the big city in the cultivation world, the reason why it is called Ruixuan Town is because it was a small town before, the name has not changed, and I don't know how many years have passed, only the current weather, ah, look at the tallest and largest building in the middle, if I remember correctly, that building should be Chengming Building, and the monks in charge of this Ruixuan Town of our Five Spirits Sect are all on that floor."

Sure enough, according to Tang Ping's words, several people saw an imposing high-rise building in the most central position of Ruixuan Town, presumably from that floor they could overlook the entire Ruixuan Town.

"Don't always watch here, how are you, boy money?"

"Well, I'm fine."

"Then what are we waiting for, it's not early, I'm finally here, of course I'm going to go in and have a look!"

"Eh, yes, let's go in and see the excitement!"

……

Speaking of which, in the border land of this large area under the direct jurisdiction of the Five Spirits Sect, there is not only this one Ruixuan Town, there are three of such a scale, namely Fuxuan Town, Xiangxuan Town and Jixuan Town, of which Fuxuan Town and Xiangxuan Town are in the west of Ruixuan Town, and Jixuan Town has to go east from Ruixuan Town to reach, these four towns are actually big cities, their role is not only in addition to personnel in and out, and trade goods, the most important thing is to be responsible for the safety of the Five Spirits Sect. In the middle of these four towns, there are countless small towns, those are pure small towns, some small towns don't even have a market, only the monks of the Five Spirits Sect are there, the monks in the sect, as long as the foundation is built, they will have the opportunity to be sent to these large and small towns to patrol back and forth, to ensure that those who are loose or have ill intentions will not mix into the Five Spirits Sect, in addition, as early as the establishment of the Five Spirits Sect, those ancestors at that time also artificially set up some fierce beasts and evil birds on the border of this area, It is used as a barrier.

It is precisely because the Five Spirits Sect has such an insurmountable barrier, therefore, before the last attack on Yanshuang, those who had been inserted in the border had to do their hands and feet in the border area to open the gap so that those guys could get in, and it was precisely because of this that under the confessions of those captured scattered cultivators, the Five Spirits Sect knew when and where these guys had infiltrated the Five Spirits Sect, and thus confirmed some additional details.

For example, the two foundation-building monks that Huang Gao and Ruo Yu caught outside the sect revealed their identities in this way.

Speaking of which, the five of them were delayed on the road for an extra day, if they could have arrived in this Ruixuan Town yesterday, maybe they would have met a few familiar people in the town.

One of them was an ordinary-looking woman, who entered the town from the direction of the Five Spirits Sect, and when she came in, she was dressed as a female disciple of the Five Spirits, but when she came out of the town from another place, she changed into a black dress, and when she left, the woman looked back a few times, as if she was unwilling, but as soon as she left the town, she flew away in a hurry.

There are also two people, also dressed as disciples of the Five Spirits, they are two men, one of them still looks like he has just recovered from a serious illness, his face is slightly pale, and the other person has a look of indifference. The two of them disappeared from the streets of Ruixuan Town for a while, and when they reappeared, they had already changed their robes and left Ruixuan Town in a group of people from the family who were about to leave after finishing their business. The person who had just recovered from a serious illness was the immortal Guisu, and the one beside him was Zhao Ji, and when Guisu was leaving, he also looked back at Ruixuan Town, knowing that he would definitely be punished after going back this time, such a big defeat, there are also people in Muyang Sect who want to carry this black cauldron, even if those big people plan unfavorably, they will put some blame on themselves, although they will not die, but thinking of the humiliation of punishment, Guisu's mood is very dark.

Don't come out! Guisu left and thought, at least if you come out again, you can build a foundation, this time you come out is not without gain, finally let yourself know the truth that there are mountains outside the mountain, and you can't do anything when you have no means to cultivate, and you have to settle down to practice after you go back, revenge, and leave it for the future!

But...... This revenge must be avenged!

……

"Eh, hehe, it's really lively!"

Lu Pingchuan's loud voice could be heard far away on the streets of Ruixuan Town.

As Tang Ping said, when he entered this Ruixuan Town, there would be no one who flew in the sky, and it could not be said that there were none, but everyone who could fly here was going to the "Chengming Tower" in the center, and naturally they were all monks of the Five Spirits Sect who were responsible for maintaining it here.

It is really lively, all kinds of shops on both sides of the street are open to welcome customers, and the road is also full of pedestrians, which can be regarded as rubbing shoulders.

Lu Pingchuan is a guy who wants to take a look if there is a bustle, but when he wanted to enter the first well-decorated store, he was stopped by the guy who greeted customers at the door with a very polite and resolute attitude.

Qian Chao and the others knew at a glance that this shop must be extraordinary, because the guy who greeted the customer at the door was actually a foundation builder!

Monk Tsukiji doing buddy here?

What a big show!

Later, I learned a thing or two from the mouth of the guy, it turned out that this shop was only for the business of the monk Jiedan, and even the monk Zhuji was not qualified to enter this shop.

Then, in the uncontrollable laughter of the guy, the five of them hurriedly left there in a panic.

Lu Pingchuan was still unconvinced, and muttered:

"Grandma, you dare to look down on people, and when Lao Tzu gets married in the future, she won't enter his door anywhere, hum!"

Since this Ruixuan Town is a big city that the Five Spirits Sect strives to operate, it will naturally not be just a lively place for Qi refining disciples to break through the small five levels to come and visit, here is the Five Spirits Sect in the south, there are many Jiedan monks in the sect, and the north is the vast cultivation world, and there are also many Jiedan monks in various sects and families in the cultivation world, naturally there are novelties that have not been seen before, and there are also objects that they can't get but are urgently needed, so there are many such shops in Ruixuan Town, The transactions inside are all treasures that can only be used by the cultivators, so naturally, such a shop does not welcome Qi refining disciples to enter and exit.

Not only that, but even those shops that only entertained foundation cultivators were not allowed to enter.

Of course, there are also some shops that do all the business, often such shops are divided into floors, the first floor is all for the sale of things used by Qi refining disciples, the second floor is for foundation building monks can go up, and the third floor is the most strict, only the monks of the Jiedan can go up to buy it.

Under Tang Ping's explanation, everyone understood, and then under the observation of several people, they were gradually able to see some doorways from the signboards of each shop, and were able to identify which shops were only for monks to drink and which could only be entered by monks from Zhuji. However, after looking at it this way, the five of them realized that there were no shops doing Qi refining cultivator business on both sides of the lively street in Ruixuan Town that they had accidentally walked into.

After inquiring from the mouths of the siders, the five of them found another wide and lively street, which was the place where people who specialized in the business of Qi refining cultivators were concentrated.

In fact, there are many places where Qi refining disciples do business, but this is the place with the most shops, and the other places are like ghost markets, where some dilapidated loose cultivators spread a blanket on the side of the street and then put things on it to do business.

Here Qian Chao met an acquaintance.

The five of them looked at the shop by store, Qian Chao couldn't help but sigh, there are really a lot of people doing business in the sect, and the few shops that I started to see were actually opened here by the disciples of the Five Spirits Sect, even the people who looked like men who greeted guests there, Qian Chao also recognized a few, naturally they were often seen in the Chengqi Hall, presumably these people put the spirit weapons they refined here to sell, in order to earn a few more spirit stones.

When those people saw Qian Chao, some of them knew each other, and they greeted them warmly because of Qian Chao's recent statement, and some of them had never spoken before, but at least they were familiar, so they also talked a few words.

Naturally, there were no five people interested in such a shop, so they continued to move forward casually, and then listened to the loud voice from a shop.

"I said Boss Bu, you can't fool me, the few things I want are made of money, how can you use these things to coax me indiscriminately, you see, which one is made of money?"

"Oh, hehe, don't worry, Mr. Zhuang, you know, something happened in our sect recently, and now it's strict, and it has just come out in the last few days, no, as soon as it comes out, I think about what you want, alas, indeed, these few pieces are not made of money, but well, I have given you a lot of money in terms of price, and the money system is not easy to get now, that Senior Brother Qian has made great achievements recently, and he is very busy, where is the time to refine the weapon, I can't find him in the sect recently, and I learned that Senior Brother Qian was always called by some elders. Think about where he has time to refine the weapon, don't worry, Mr. Zhuang, I will urge him when I go back to find him, okay? ”

"Well, okay, I'll keep these few pieces first, let's talk about it, and then I'll order three pieces if I have money, you must keep them for me."

"Don't worry, I didn't leave it for you!"

Five people heard this passage, and when it came to Senior Brother Qian who had made great contributions, Tang Ping also glanced at Qian Chao with a strange expression, as for what kind of spiritual weapon made of money, it is needless to say, it is almost refined by Senior Brother Qian.

"Didn't you mean you, Brother Qian?" Lu Pingchuan asked.

Qian Chao was noncommittal, in fact, he had already heard it, and one of the voices was the person who spoke was Bu Yanqi.

I saw a tall monk striding out of a shop, and someone came out to see him off, and then the person who came out inadvertently glanced at Qian Chao's side and was stunned for a moment, and then immediately sent the person away with a smile before he came over, it was the Bu Yanqi.

When he walked over, Bu Yanqi also looked back to see if the person had gone away just now, as a middleman, he didn't want Qian Chao, a refiner, to meet with the buyer, so he couldn't set the price in the middle.

"Senior Brother Qian, why are you here, come and come, a few junior brothers and sisters, come and sit in my small shop."

Bu Yanqi warmly beckoned Qian Chao and a few people into his small shop, and then ordered people to close the door and put on the board immediately, and stop doing business first, he took the five people into the clean place behind the store, and only spoke after serving spiritual tea.

"Congratulations to Senior Brother Qian, congratulations to a few junior brothers and sisters, it's only been a few years, Senior Brother Qian, you have actually broken through the small five levels, congratulations, alas, how many years have I been trapped in the small five levels, there are always six or seven years, or Senior Brother Qian, you have practiced well, and you are getting good at the beginning, haha!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bu, well, what did that person mean by the 'money system' just now?"

"This, Senior Brother Qian, aren't you always used to printing your own small chapter on it, it's just a money word, hehe, plus the things you refine are excellent, but that small chapter can't be imitated by others, so over time, the spiritual weapon you refine has an alias of 'money system', hehe, as long as there is that small chapter on the spiritual weapon, you will naturally know that it was refined by you, so the price is much higher than the same spiritual weapon!"

"Oh, I see!"

When Qian Chao first entered the inner hall, he got a chisel seal, as a disciple of the inner hall of the Chengqi Hall, he can use this chapter to seal on the spiritual weapon he refined, as a logo, this chapter is made by the inner hall, but it is indeed a counterfeit, but I didn't expect it to become a unique mark of the Qian Chao refiner, and this cloth Yan Qian also made a lot of spirit stones because it can sell the spirit weapon refined by Qian Chao.

However, Bu Yanqi was also a little worried when he saw Qian Chao, not that he falsely reported the price of Qian Chao's spirit stones, but now that this senior brother Qian's cultivation has also broken through the small five levels, if he also intends to open a shop in this Ruixuan Town to sell the things he refines, then he will not be able to earn the spirit stones in the middle in the future.

So, Bu Yan asked tentatively:

"Senior Brother Qian, you are here this time ......"

Qian Chao saw through Bu Yanqi's concerns at a glance, and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Bu, I don't have the heart to open any shop here, it's too troublesome, so I still want Senior Brother Bu to help me sell those things in the future."

Saying that, Qian Chao took out a few small wooden boxes from the storage bag and put them in front of Bu Yanqi, which were naturally full of spiritual weapons refined by Qian Chao.

Bu Yanqi was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as Qian Chao couldn't afford to open a store, even if he let him give up some more profits, he was willing, and seeing that Qian Chao had taken out a lot of spiritual weapons, he was even more excited, the ones he took from Qian Chao last time had already been sold out, and now Qian Chao came to replenish him.

"Senior Brother Bu, who are the people who buy my spiritual weapons?"

"Well, ordinary people can't afford to produce so many spirit stones, most of them are people from some passing families, and after buying them back, they give them to their children and nephews for their own use, and some people are considered merchants, and they can also earn a lot of spirit stones by selling them in some distant places after they buy them. The person surnamed Zhuang who left just now is a person from a family who is doing business outside, it seems that his family is not small, that person often walks in Ruixuan Town, and he has bought a lot of spiritual weapons you refine. ”

Talking about this, Qian Chao remembered one thing and asked:

"Senior Brother Bu, how did you usually come to Ruixuan Town from the sect, you have been back and forth a lot, how did you avoid all those troubles on the road?"

Bu Yanqi raised his eyes and looked at Qian Chao, pondering the meaning of Qian Chao's words, and then asked:

"Senior Brother Qian is asking about the route to Ruixuan Town from the sect, let's talk about how you came here first? This must be your first time here, right? ”

"Yes, it's the first time a few of us have come to Ruixuan Town, and we're ...... It was out of the sect and then flew straight to Ruixuan Town. ”

"Fly straight to Ruixuan Town!" Bu Yan was startled, and looked at a few people again, "That's ...... Senior Brother Qian, did you encounter any trouble on the road? ”

"That's right," Tang Ping, who was sipping tea on the side, interjected, "I have encountered a lot of troubles along the way, and I have been embarrassed a few times!" ”

"Eh! Reckless, reckless, Senior Brother Qian, blame me, I should have told you the route from the sect early in the morning, how could anyone fly over directly, not to mention middle-level cultivators like us, even those high-level senior brothers who refining qi didn't dare to fly over directly, what kind of Shaliu Mountain in the middle, what kind of Chun'er Mountain in the middle of the mountain, what kind of Chun'er Mountain in the Raising Ding Mountain, that is a dangerous place! Is it ......?"

Bu Yanqi found himself saying the name of a place, and the girl in the blue dress who was drinking tea nodded, his face changed slightly, and he asked tentatively:

"Could it be that a few of you made it all the way to those places?"

"Of course, I hit it several times!" Lu Pingchuan said.

"Ah...... This ......" Bu Yanqi was surprised, he couldn't believe it, but thinking about the recent fame of a few people, it is also possible "No wonder, no wonder the five junior brothers and sisters were able to make great contributions to the sect a few days ago, and it is not a strange thing to have this means......

"Otherwise, Senior Brother Bu," Qian Chao continued, "We came out very recklessly this time, we thought that we would just fly towards Ruixuan Town, how could I have expected that there would be so many things on the road, so I asked Senior Brother Bu what route you usually take when you travel between the sect and here." ”

Bu Yanqi understood that these five people must have encountered those powerful demon beasts more than once on the road, so they asked this, so they took out a piece of paper and said:

"Senior Brother Qian, I have a map here, come, I'll draw you a few routes, all of which I know are relatively safe, although there are a lot of big bends around and around, but this road is also very safe, and many senior brothers come here to take such a route."

After speaking, Bu Yanqi took out a pen and marked a variety of different routes for Qian Chao on the map.

Then Bu Yanqi said with a somewhat solemn face:

"Senior Brother Qian, the reason why I have marked these different routes for you is also useful, I think a few of you should have just arrived in this Ruixuan Town, probably also want to see the novelties sold by those casual cultivators, if it is late today, it will be tomorrow, but Senior Brother wants to persuade you a few words, those things that are scattered, you can take a look, but don't ask the price easily, let alone show your white in front of those casual cultivators, hey, those people are casual cultivators, isn't the matter of Yanshuang girl being mostly casual cultivators? As long as those people see that you have spirit stones or good things on you, they will be worried, maybe they will quietly follow you when you leave Ruixuan Town and return, and then move halfway, speaking of which from Ruixuan Town to return to the sect, there are many missing disciples in the sect on this road, so it is best for you not to encounter this kind of thing, even if you do, don't panic, the way back is on this map, if someone stops it, change the road, anyway, they can't block all the roads. ”

Seeing Qian Chao nodding, Bu Yanqi suddenly smiled again.

"That Senior Brother Ma Hu, you have always heard of it, that guy is, specializing in black and black business, when he arrived in Ruixuan Town, in front of those casual cultivators, he came to show weakness and show his whiteness, deliberately lured those casual cultivators to intercept and kill him halfway, and then he was counter-killed, and did many transactions without capital, but later many people in the casual cultivation recognized him, and his legs were weak when he saw him, ha!"

"Huh! That's a great idea! Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but say when he heard it.

"Brother Lu!" Yan Xuan was next to him, and he couldn't help but feel disgusted when he heard Lu Pingchuan's words.

"Uh...... This must be Senior Brother Lu of the Houtu Temple, eh, don't think so, I know that you all have the means, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a great contribution, but those casual cultivators are better at some shady ghost tricks, and those who can come to this Ruixuan Town are at least the middle level of Qi refining, but among those who are missing, there are middle ranks, and there are more high-level ones, don't they have the means? It's those casual cultivators who are simply conspiracy and calculations, and they can't guard against it. ”

"Senior Brother Bu, don't worry, my Brother Lu is just joking, we just want to have a peaceful life, how can we cause more trouble, by the way, Senior Brother Bu, if it's late today, we want to find a place to stay here, is there anything to recommend?"

"Oh, hehe, my small shop is small, I won't leave a few, there are a lot of places to live in this town, go out from my small shop, turn east and you can see many restaurants, those have resting rooms, they are also very clean, what is the famous Song Feng Building, Xingxing Building, they are the two most expensive, the rest are cheaper, but they are all clean, and they are comfortable."

"Eh, I said Senior Brother Bu, which family has the best food?"

"Uh...... I heard that the best dish is Song Fenglou, and the best spirit wine is Xingxinglou, but I haven't been there, hehe. ”

Coming out of Bu Yanqi, the sky was getting dark, and several people were running around for days, and they all wanted to eat a good meal and rest.

Qian Chao just got a bag of spirit stones from Bu Yanqi, which was his share after the spirit weapon was sold, Tang Ping asked him to treat him, and finally the two best restaurants were Song Fenglou selected by Lu Pingchuan, and said that he would have a good meal tonight, sleep well, and then go to the Star Picking Tower to drink tomorrow.

"I'm going to go to the street tomorrow to see the excitement, and it's not okay to drink all the time." Tang Ping corrected.

"Yes, yes, I'll see the excitement tomorrow."

Full of wine and food, especially Lu Pingchuan ate happily and praised Song Fenglou, and then Qian Chao and the five of them found four quiet guest rooms in Song Fenglou, the reason why the five people wanted four rooms was because Tang Ping and Yan Xuan wanted to live together.

……

Before the night was deep, someone knocked on the door of Qian Chao's room.

After opening the door, there was a young man dressed as a man, he looked at Qian Chao and asked:

"Excuse me, but Mr. Qian Chaoqian?"

"Mr. doesn't dare to be, he's making money." Qian Chao also looked at the person on the other side, and saw that the person looked shrewd.

"Please Mr. Qian take a look at this first."

So saying, the man took out half of the paper, which was torn in the middle, and there were words on it.

Qian Chao glanced at it, and then took out half a piece of paper, which was half a pair of feet with the man, and the uneven parts of the torn place were tightly fitted together, and the words on the paper were also neatly put together.

The front is the word "Qian Chao", the back is the word "Han Jin", the word paper torn in half is tied together, and the four words on both sides are written by one person, and you can know it at a glance.

The young man smiled, saluted Qian Chao again, and said:

"Under the surname Liu, I was entrusted by Mr. Han Gongzi to see Mr. Qian."

The tide of money stopped him.

"Brother Liu, please wait a minute, this is not the place to speak."

Then Qian Chao took the man and pushed open the door of a nearby room.

When the young man surnamed Liu walked in, he couldn't help but be stunned, there were four people sitting there waiting in the room, among them there were two women, and a big stout man was yawning incessantly.

"This ......"

"Brother Liu, since Senior Brother Han is looking for me like this, we also came here as promised, but there is no secret between the five of us, even if Senior Brother Han comes in person, we still want the five of us to listen together, please."

"Good ......"
