In the cup, a few pieces of tea foam are suspended, and a faint vapor comes out.

At the wooden table, looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Changying began to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

Seeing Senior Brother Zhou vomiting blood that day was really unexpected.

He was still a little worried at the time, whether it was because the group of Impermanence Sect disciples were too heavy.

The purpose of intervening to help halfway is to interrupt the protagonist Zhou Yuan's breakthrough opportunity in a desperate situation.

Another point is to see if we can have some more causal value.

Everyone's fate ended as soon as possible, so as not to torment each other.

Therefore, when he saw Zhou Yuan's posture at that time, he couldn't help but worry that the disciples of the Impermanence Sect would affect this step.

Fortunately, in the end, the causal value increased smoothly.

[Causal +1]

[The current causal value is 51 points, and it is 60 points in Wuyue City, which is suitable for completing the fateful duel. 】

This morning, as the period has arrived.

Everyone had already left the sword-washing pool.

I found a nearby inn to live temporarily.

Be prepared to take a break and clarify the direction before considering other plans.

Turn on the real-time updated data of the protagonist Zhou Yuan.

It can be clearly seen that although this time it was the deep secret realm Sword Washing City opened by Senior Brother Zhou, it was also the palace gate that he opened.

In the end, nothing worked out.

In addition to losing two treasures of the lower grade of the ground level.

The rest of the time was mainly spent being hunted down by the disciples of the Impermanence Sect.

During this period, there were also opportunities for breakthroughs.

Only to be interrupted by interference in the end.

As for his side, he successfully got the fragments of the Sky Map.

And thus stimulate the phased upgrade of the system.

Although many doubts have arisen from this, they have not been answered.

But at least you can take a good note of the relevant clues.

In addition, the sword embryo of the Sealing Ring Sword has been successfully formed.

In the future, as long as you practice more, you can give birth to a sword spirit that is loyal to you.

A simple comparison was made.

Just keep the momentum going until the causality of the two reaches 60 points and complete the fateful showdown.

Later, love is what it is.

Thinking of this, Chen Changying leaned back and looked up at the roof.

Thinking about what's next.

At this moment, the prophetic judgment information about the protagonist Zhou Yuan appeared in his mind.

[Most of the dark injuries on the protagonist Zhou Yuan have recovered, but because he is still depressed in his heart. 】

[After leaving the Sword Washing Pool, he walked aimlessly on the streets of Wuyue City, not knowing what he should do next. 】

[In about half an hour, he will walk to a remote and uninhabited alley in the eastern corner of the city, built with red bricks. 】

This is where the relevant information comes to an abrupt end.

There is no continuation of the development.

But it's clear that there's definitely some kind of chance there.

Otherwise, there is no reason to describe this ordinary experience.

Even if the system is advanced.

It's not twelve hours for me to be able to receive all the details of the protagonist Zhou Yuan's life.

In the eastern corner of the city, there is a remote alley with red bricks.

Fortunately, this description is not too broad.

I can still get a head start and go over and take a look.

There was no further delay.

Chen Changying got up and pushed open the door, hurriedly walked down the stairs, and left the inn.

With a clear direction, head towards your destination.

Along the way, Chen Changying crossed three streets in a row.

Almost entered, belonging to the area of the eastern corner of the Gogaku Castle.

Unleash your ability to perceive your limits.

As far as the eye can see, there are three red brick walls.

However, it didn't attract much attention from him.

Because of that piece of system information, there is also a preposition adjective.

Remotely deserted.

And those three places are all in the middle of the city.

Instead of being anxious, Chen Chang should simply change his thinking.

Based on the information gathered by the perception ability, the first step is to move towards a place with fewer people.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Originally, there was a bustle of passers-by around, but now there are only three or two left.

So far, the alley with red bricks is still missing.

I didn't change or wonder if there was something wrong with my previous thinking.

Chen Changying continued to walk in a more secluded direction.

The corner of a street.

Before he even entered it, through his ear attribute ability, he heard an extremely slight and rapid breathing sound.

You can feel that the other person is nervous.

As if hiding from something.

And in that direction, it is already the most secluded street along the way.

It's just that the location of the hiding man still doesn't have a red-brick alley.

Considering that there is only one way to go.

The footsteps continue in the established direction.

Click-Click

The sound of footsteps, echoing in the empty streets.

Even the breathing of the hiding man was even more slight and short.

In the next second, the other party seemed to realize something, and suddenly relaxed his emotions.

Then, after a moment's pause, he began to lean towards him.

Originally, Chen Changying thought that the other party had heard the movement and was ready to hide in the dark to observe.

Unexpectedly, that guy actually blocked him directly.

Dressed in a gray robe, it was obviously dressed as a monk in the cultivation world.

I didn't rush to ask, what did the other party mean.

Chen Changying's eyes were a little inky.

According to the spiritual power in the opponent's body, it is roughly judged that the opponent's realm is probably around the foundation building period.

During this time, the gray-shirted monk was the first to speak: "This fellow Daoist, how about I have a treasure that I want to sell to you?" ”

It turned out to be a seller.

Wrong.

Even if you really want to sell something, you should go to the downtown of Wuyue City, and the effect will be better.

Even if the object is not suitable for public.

I haven't heard of it, and I ran to a secluded street to hide and sell it.

And listening to the breathing sound just now, the mood swings are obviously larger.

It's like you're running away from some kind of trouble.

Thinking of this, the expression on Chen Changying's face became more cautious.

Directly opposite, the Grey-shirted Friar saw the vigilance of the man in front of him.

There was a hint of determination in his eyes, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and then he said bluntly: "I'll just say it." ”

"This bead was originally a treasure I found from the secret realm."

As he spoke, the Grey-shirted Friar pulled out a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg from his cuff.

showed a little reluctance, but quickly suppressed this reluctance.

He continued: "It's just that when I got this orb, I was looked at by a group of loose cultivators. I've been targeted because of this. ”

"The situation now is that if you're willing to buy it, you can just make a bid."

"If you don't want to, forget it."

Judging by the details of the Grey Friar's expression, it didn't look like he was lying.

A scramble over a treasure.

Not unusual.

Immediately after, before Chen Changying could speak.

Three mission options popped into his mind.

[Option 1: Avoid causing trouble and decline the transaction.] Give the opportunity to the later protagonist Zhou Yuan, and he will bear the follow-up troubles. Completion Reward: Lake Stone Gourd - Xuan-level Inferior Magic Weapon]

[Option 2: Grab things directly and let the other party understand not to trust others easily in the future.] Completion Reward: Cold Finger - Yellow Level Upper Grade Exercise]

[Option 3: Give the relevant price to complete the transaction.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

Leaving aside the fact that completing the transaction is the easiest route given by the system.

It's just the information revealed in the first task option.

If refused, the opportunity will be obtained by Zhou Yuan.

At such a time, nature cannot let that happen.

After a brief glance at the orb that seemed to have an unusual origin, Chen Changying replied loudly: "You can make a price." ”

Hearing that the white-robed Taoist friend in front of him with outstanding temperament and a background of no means was willing to take over.

The Grey-shirted Friar breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he was right.

Then he said tentatively: "Five thousand high-grade spirit stones." ”

Redeem according to the proportion of spirit stones.

Five thousand high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to five hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

However, for Chen Changying, it is not too expensive.

Besides, this is still an opportunity that could have been obtained by the protagonist.

So he didn't waste time and replied directly: "No problem." ”

After that, he took out the corresponding amount from the vows.

Put it in the hands of the other party.

Seeing this white-robed fellow Daoist, his actions were so crisp and neat.

The gray-shirted monk looked at the spirit stone in his hand, and was even stunned for a moment.

The first reaction is to check the authenticity.

After confirming that it was correct, he also handed over the orb to the other party.

He added: "I don't know the specific purpose of this thing. It's just that since it was able to make that group of loose cultivation organizations, on the eve of the big competition of the major sects, they dared to ignore the rules and rob it. It's certainly not ordinary. ”

A treasure that doesn't know the specific efficacy.

Open your mouth and ask for five thousand high-grade spirit stones.

In this regard, Chen Changying did not feel that he was at a loss.

Again, this is the opportunity that the protagonist would have gotten.

It can't be too bad.

The voice landed.

Seeing that the white-robed Taoist friend did not regret this, the gray-shirted monk completely relaxed.

He didn't continue to greet him, and left the place.

Touched the Liyuan bead in his hand.

This treasure with a high probability of not being low, although it is the object that the protagonist Zhou Yuan should have obtained after coming here.

However, it seems to have nothing to do with the red brick alley mentioned in the previous system information.

There is a possibility that the gray-shirted monk should have met Senior Brother Zhou in that place.

But there is another possibility that Zhou Yuan can get two opportunities on this trip.

For the sake of insurance, Chen Chang should directly assume that this is the latter case.

Keep walking towards the front.

Subsequently, at the end of the street, he finally saw a sight that was completely qualified.

Secluded and uninhabited, alleys with red bricks.

The alley was short, though, and there was only one cul-de-sac.

I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Slowly approaching the corner, Chen Changying thought about it and jumped directly onto the top of the alley.

Take a closer look at your surroundings.

As a result, there were still no useful findings.

It's really the first possibility.

The opportunity that the protagonist Zhou Yuan can get is the bead that he has already gotten his hands on?

Vaguely, Chen Changying still felt that things were not so simple.

A wisp of ink appeared in his eyes, and he once again surveyed the nearby scene with the perspective of the flow of aura.

The end result, but still nothing.

Wait a minute

Just as Chen Changying was slightly disappointed and was about to come down from above.

Suddenly, I found that I was just paying attention, whether there were clues such as aura.

But ignoring the place itself, it seems a little abrupt.

The entire red brick alley seems to appear for no reason.

"Eight Strange Arts, Qimen Dunjia."

Relevant thoughts crossed Chen Changying's mind.

When he realized that this was a possibility, Chen Chang should return to the ground.

Look more closely at the red brick wall that blocked the way.

And began to put the palm of the hand up, and fumbled carefully.

After a while, he felt a slightly raised red brick.

Press it down firmly.

A creak -

With a slight shaking of the ground, the scene in front of me changed dramatically.

The original red brick walls open from the middle.

As far as the eye can see, it's like a paradise inside.

Patches of peach groves, and a wooden house is located on a hillside not far away.

The breeze blows gently, and you can even smell a few wisps of peach blossoms.

These are all things that I have never seen at all when I looked down on the surroundings just now.

In addition, there was also a middle-aged man in cloth standing under a peach tree relatively close.

The moment the wall opened, the middle-aged man glanced back.

Neither the eyes nor the expressions were surprised in the slightest.

It was as if someone was coming.

In the face of the current phenomenon.

Chen Changying knew that this was the great opportunity that the protagonist Zhou Yuancai encountered in the prediction judgment.

Found the right path.

In my heart, I was not surprised by this, and I was a little cautious.

He slowly walked towards the middle-aged man in cloth.

There are still about three steps or so between the two of them.

The other party suddenly waved his sleeves.

With such a sudden action, Chen Changying didn't even notice it.

You know, even until now, he still maintains the state of expanding his extreme perception ability.

In other words, the other party's realm cultivation is very high.

According to past experience, I am afraid that the transformation period will not stop.

And between the waves of the sleeves, two pots of flowers and plants of different colors appeared in front of him.

The middle-aged man in cloth opened his mouth and explained: "Choose a pot." ”

In the tone, I can't hear too many mood swings.

Since you have come to someone else's home field, you should still respect the other party's orders.

Carefully looked at the two pots of flowers.

The pot on the left is a potted plant with red stamens.

On the right is a blue stamen.

In addition to the color, whether it is the texture of the leaf stem, or the soil of the planting.

There is no difference between the two.

It feels like a perfect replica.

Chen Changying, whose perception ability has been greatly improved, can only come to such a conclusion.

The same may be true for others.

But since you have the choice, things can't be so simple.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, three mission options appeared in front of him.

[Option 1: Trust your intuitive judgment and choose the red flower plant in a firm tone. Completion Reward: Spirit Thunder Spell - Xuan-level Inferior Spell】

[Option 2: Trust your instinct and choose the blue flower plant in a firm tone. Completion Reward: Thunderbolt Axe - Xuan-level Inferior Magic Weapon]

[Option 3: Combine the two pots of flowers and plants and choose the finished purple flowers.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

It's no wonder that these two pots of flowers and plants are perfectly reproduced.

It stands to reason that no two plants in the world are exactly the same.

It turned out that this was originally a pot.

If it weren't for the system message, I really ignored this.

Understanding the principle, Chen Changying should no longer hesitate.

Stretch out your hand and slowly move the red flower plant on the left to the right.

There were no surprises.

When two plants are next to each other, they immediately merge.

Eventually, it became a pot of plants with purple stamens.

As revealed in the system information.

"I'll pick it." Pointing to the formed flower plants, Chen Changying affirmed.

There was still no expression on his face.

It seems that even these are expected.

The middle-aged man in cloth continued as if assessed: "Now tell me, this pot plant has a total of several stamens. ”

This time, without waiting for Chen Changying to start thinking.

The new three mission options came to mind.

[Option 1: Destroy the flowers and plants in front of you directly, and then tell the other party that there are none.] Completion Reward: Wind and Fire Fist - Xuan-level Lower Grade Exercises]

[Option 2: After counting the exact number, tell the other party that there are five flowers in total.] Completion Reward: Tianshan Stone - Xuan-level Lower Grade Refining Material】

[Option 3: After counting the exact number, tell the other party that there are nine in total.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

The content of the first option is to clearly tell yourself not to go sideways.

Playing this kind of caution in front of the other party.

As for options two and three.

Depending on the number of purple stamens in the vegetation, it is five flowers.

If you were alone, it would be hard to think of it anyway, but the final answer was actually nine flowers.

And now, with the easiest route tips.

Chen Changying didn't bother anymore, and replied bluntly: "There are nine in total." ”

The voice just landed.

Chen Changying felt the spiritual power in his body, which resonated with this pot of flowers.

In an instant, four more purple stamens bloomed out of thin air.

With the addition of the previous five, there are no more, no less, just nine.

This scene can be regarded as an answer, and Chen Changying has doubts in his heart.

That's all there is to it for.

The middle-aged man in cloth did not continue to ask questions, but instead said clearly: "The elder is waiting for you in the east, under the peach tree a hundred steps away. ”

Elder? Wait for me?

Although only in a very brief sentence.

The information revealed made Chen Changying unable to react for a long time.

If you understand correctly.

This should belong to a certain sect.

And the sect elder knew that he would come

Wrong.

If it weren't for the prompts given by the system, the person who really arrived here would be the protagonist Zhou Yuan.

But in any case, this can be expected in advance.

That elder, I'm afraid, is not simple.

This is probably the reason why, at a distance of 100 steps, I didn't even notice it at all.

After being prompted by the middle-aged man in cloth, he saw that there was indeed a rocking chair there, and an old man was lying on it leisurely and napping.

The costume he wore seemed to be a little special.

The black robe was dotted with a few bright lights.

However, this does not feel like bells and whistles, but rather a sense of simplicity.

While looking at it, Chen Changying kept his footsteps not light or heavy, and walked in the established direction.

Didn't show too much restraint.

If you can let the other party judge by the steps that you are coming.

And so as not to disturb me later.

On the rocking chair, almost at the moment when Chen Changying approached, the old man opened his eyes.

Turning his head to look at the person who came.

At first, the starlight-robed old man's reaction was flat.

It was as if they had known that the other party was coming, and they were ready to speak.

But in the next second, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes.

Obviously, the person who appeared in front of him was not the one expected.

The words that were about to blurt out were swallowed back.

And after thinking about it repeatedly, it seems that there are still some things that he still can't figure out.

Finally, he tentatively spoke: "You are Zhou Yuan of the Qingyang Sect?" ”

Hearing this, Chen Changying knew that this place was indeed an opportunity that belonged to Senior Brother Zhou.

However, since the old man showed a puzzled tone, he asked this sentence.

It shows that the relationship between the other party and the protagonist Zhou Yuan is not a close relationship.

After sorting out these information points, Chen Changying paused for a moment, and finally replied truthfully: "The disciple is from the Qingyang Sect, but he is not Senior Brother Zhou. ”

Hearing this, the old man nodded suddenly.

It seems to confirm something.

But soon, he became even more confused.

I don't seem to understand why I am here since it is not Zhou Yuan.

Then, the old man looked at the young man in front of him several times.

Feel the gaze.

Vaguely, Chen Changying seemed to see countless stars appear behind the other party.

And these stars can actually involve people's spiritual power.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the stars behind the old man soon disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

In his mouth, he muttered in a very low volume: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't calculate the future of this guy." ”

If it was an ordinary monk, even if it was above the primordial infancy, it would be impossible to hear this whisper through divine sense exploration.

But Chen Changying's pure ear attribute ability came into play again at this moment.

According to the other party's remarks, he was even more convinced that this old man really had the ability to "tell fortunes".

However, the other party can calculate the protagonist Zhou Yuan, but he can't calculate himself.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

On the other side, Ji Wenxu also fell into deep thinking.

Last night, through the power of the stars, he clearly sensed that a disciple of the Qingyang Sect named Zhou Yuan was coming.

I have a fate with the other party, and I should have given a few words and a magic weapon.

But suddenly, the person who came became another disciple.

This kind of confusion has never happened before, and it is simply strange.

As for the deeds of the people who cannot be successfully calculated.

This is not unusual.

As long as fate is a little more bumpy, it is difficult to see through.

Everyone thinks that Tianji Pavilion can peek into the destiny of heaven and know the future.

In fact, many times, it's just that you can see more clips than ordinary people.

Only the Pavilion Master, and that one.

Wait a minute.

In addition to feeling emotional, Ji Wenxu suddenly thought of the person who seemed to have mentioned to him at that time, "If the person who comes is not the person you think, please ask Elder Ji to let him come to me." ”

At that time, Ji Wenxu didn't take it to heart.

Now, he didn't expect that to happen.

Although the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was able to spy on the Mandate of Heaven, it would hardly interfere with it.

Because if you take the initiative to change the trajectory of the future, you will inevitably suffer a very serious backlash.

Usually just as a bystander, or as a complyper.

This is also the reason why, even if Ji Wenxu doesn't know Zhou Yuan, he is willing to give away opportunities.

And now, the people who were waiting for him did not come.

The person mentioned in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion appeared.

Although in my head, I still don't understand what this is all about.

He still followed the law and said loudly: "The people in the wooden house on the hillside are waiting for you, you can go directly." ”

Got a new target location.

Chen Changying's eyes were a little dazed.

According to the reasoning of the information just known, the person who was waiting for the old man was Zhou Yuan, not himself.

His appearance was purely an accident caused by a system prompt.

But now, the old man's attitude has suddenly changed again.

It's like someone is waiting for them to come.

I don't understand the twists and turns at all.

Chen Changying was not easy to ask.

Eventually, we had to try to find the answer from the cabin.

The focus of extreme perception ability was also placed in that direction.

Then, he heard an ethereal and crisp voice, "Ah Bi, someone will come later, you don't need to stop it." ”

The owner of the wooden house, is it a woman?

Looking at this situation, the other party actually knew that he was walking this way.

It's because they have the same keen perception.

Or do it yourself.

If it's the latter, that's scary enough.

Thinking about this question in his heart, Chen Changying had already walked to the wooden house.

and saw the reckless man who was called "Ah Pi".

Nearly three meters in height.

Just by looking at it, you can feel a great sense of oppression.

Moreover, the other party seems to be deliberately restrained.

In terms of realm cultivation alone, this big man is definitely not as good as the old man over there.

But when it comes to danger, Ah Bi, who is guarding the edge of the wooden house, seems to be superior.

Fortunately, the other party had been instructed in advance.

After seeing himself, he just nodded his head, and even showed a bit of a friendly attitude.

Perhaps influenced by this extremely dangerous man, Chen Changying became more and more curious about the owner of the wooden house.

"Just come in."

With this invitation, Chen Changying pushed the door in.

Then I saw a woman sitting at a table.

Long silver-white hair fell from his shoulders.

The ankles of the bare feet are tied with a string of anklets.

The appearance is like the most precious porcelain doll in the world.

Wrong

Chen Changying unconsciously denied in his heart, it is absolutely impossible to make such a beautiful porcelain doll in this world.

Of course, although he was a little amazed by the other party's appearance, he did not look too much.

On the contrary, it was the girl from Tianji Pavilion who looked at the man in front of her seriously.

After about half a minute, he said, "Can you show me that bead?" ”

"I'm willing to trade you for a mirror."

With that, the girl took out the mirror she had mentioned.

Then he added: "I'm just looking, I'm not going to steal." This mirror will be given to you directly when the time comes. ”

Follow the other person's words.

Chen Changying should set his eyes on the mirror-like magic weapon.

With his eyesight, he could see that this thing was of a very high grade.

In exchange, it was apparently that he took a big advantage.

What's more, being in such a place.

There are so many people in this place whose realm strength is far higher than their own.

Since people know that they have just gotten a treasure orb, they can rob it

When analyzing the pros and cons.

Chen Changying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, this girl actually knew that she had just obtained a bead magic weapon not long ago.

This is a 7,000-word update
