Chapter One Hundred and One, The Princess
Xu Promise pondered as he searched the buildings in the Black Wind Village.
Since this is the case, then this Black Wind Village can survive here, and this matter itself is very abnormal.
Although this black python old man in Black Wind Village is in the Jiedan Realm, it is obviously the kind that the bronze tiger statue said, forcibly raised with drugs, and his strength is quite lacking, and he promised that he didn't even see any means that the Enchanted Dan Realm should have from the old man of the Black Python.
With the help of the power of the bronze tiger statue, and even the power with the help of the power conversion, only thirty percent of the people can kill the old man of the black python, and the Yunxiao Sect should not be able to solve it here.
Just like Uyulei in the infancy of the Yuan, if she came here, then it should be easier than herself to clean up this place, Xu thought so.
Then there is only one possibility.
"Behind this Black Wind Village, there is a force that the Yunxiao Sect does not dare to provoke?" Promise muttered.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a burst of applause not far away.
"Amazing, a foundation building realm monk, he can actually sweep this place, he is really a heroic boy." The girl who had been watching the battle from the tree walked out.
She is wearing a pink dress, her figure is petite and exquisite, her skin is better than snow, and her apricot eyes are shining with anticipation, like autumn water.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also full of a smart and pretty feeling.
She looked at the promise and said with a smile, "If you are willing to follow me, I can guarantee that your future achievements will be limitless." ”
"Following you?"
Xu Promise couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
He felt a little inexplicable for the first time, the first thing a stranger who suddenly said was that he wanted to make himself her entourage?
But then, the promise realized that something was wrong, when did this person appear?
From the true qi that she escaped, it can probably be judged that this girl's cultivation is probably also a foundation building realm, so why was she able to evade her own detection and quietly appear and approach herself?
Maybe this person has some secret treasure that can hide his aura, or maybe the other party hides his strength?
Xu Promise was not surprised that others had something to hide their aura, he himself also had a Blood Snake Gu, a Gu worm that could cover his existence.
But the question is, it's quite remote, why would the other party come here?
This girl seems to be younger than herself, and her cultivation is not very high, but at this time, in the eyes of Xu Yue, this person is quite mysterious, and she still has this kind look on her face that does not match her age.
"This ...... Friend, are you kidding? Xu Promise asked a little stunned.
"I'm not kidding."
The woman said seriously, "I really want to accept you to follow me." "
"My cultivation strength is not high," Xu Promise opened some distance from the girl vigilantly, "I'm afraid I can't be a qualified follower." "
"How can it be called delay?" The woman shook her head and smiled, "The way to cultivate immortals, what is important is chance, if there is no such opportunity, then no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to reach the advanced realm." Moreover, cultivating immortals and cultivating qi pays attention to gradual and impatient. "
Xu Yu looked at the woman, sighed slightly, and said, "It's not wrong for you to say this, but I'm just a layman, and I don't have any intention of following others." ”
The girl chuckled, and then said, "Since you have cleared the Black Wind Village, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
"Why do you want to know what this place is?" The promise was corrected, and then he said, "They killed people and killed people who passed by, and everyone was punished." ”
After listening to the promise, the girl snorted lightly, and then said: "It is true, and in this village, in addition to these black-robed people, there is also a force secretly supporting them!" "
"Who are they?" Promise a curious inquiry.
"Guess what, maybe you'll tell you what this is." The girl smiled slightly and said.
Promise shook his head.
"Guess?" The girl said.
Xu Yu continued to shake his head and said, "I don't know these people, and I won't guess anything. "
"Don't be so boring~~" The girl couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Then I'll tell you directly, this is my fiefdom." "
Hearing this, Xu Promise couldn't help but freeze in place, staring at the girl in disbelief for a long time, then slowly swallowed his saliva and said, "You said this is your fiefdom?" "
"That's right," the girl smiled and nodded, "but it may not be what you think, here...... You can think that I deliberately made this Black Wind Village develop. ”
Fiefdom is such a thing, it seems that only people in the royal family can have it, so it means that the girl in front of me is actually a princess?
The corners of Xu Yu's mouth twitched a few times, which can also show that although this place is very close to the Yunxiao Sect, the sect doesn't care about what is happening here as if it can't be seen.
Xu Promise didn't expect that the girl in front of her, who looked no more than twenty years old and had a petite and delicate body, could it be that she was the princess of Middle-earth?
Although Jiuzhou is not unified, and there is not only one country, the most powerful is definitely the Imperial State of Central Continent.
And the girl in front of her, since she said that she has her own fiefdom.
"You're the princess of Middle-earth!?" Xu promised to be silent for a moment before speaking.
"You're half right." The woman nodded and smiled, "
The woman's tone was very flat, and she didn't seem to have any feelings about mentioning her identity, and even promised that there was still a hint of inexplicability in her tone at this time.
When Xu Yu heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Since this is the case, then there is no need for me to follow, and those who are willing to follow you should be able to form a long line from Xizhou to Dongzhou." ”
It's just shocking.
"No," the woman's smile was still there, and she said, "There are many followers, you have more combat power than your own cultivation, it seems that this combat power will not even have any effect on yourself, you have a lot of potential." "
Xu Yu frowned and said, "Why should I go with you, it has nothing to do with me." "
"Isn't it okay?" The girl smiled and said, "Since you are here, you should be a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect." "
The girl said with a grin, and then added, "If you don't agree, then maybe something will happen to the Cloud Sky Sect?" "
"Can you put this kind of shady thing on the table?" Promise said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry," the girl smiled, "Of course, if you don't agree, of course I can let you go, and I won't do anything to your sect." "
"However, there is a premise."
"What premise?"
"I want you to help me do something, if I can handle this matter smoothly, I won't make a move against your sect, and I will tell you some of the secrets I have."
After the girl said this, the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Ben was stunned for a moment as he muttered about the promise that the girl would say something, and forgot to speak for a while.
Some of the secrets she has?
Does the other person think they are connected to something?
This moment promises to feel a little funny, tell yourself some secrets? I don't even know what the question is, and I don't know where to fill in the answer if you tell me the answer.
Looking at Xu Yu's stunned appearance, the princess chuckled and said, "You seem to have something to say?" "
"No," Promise said, shaking his head, "you go on." "
"I know what you mean," the girl smiled slightly, "my request should not be difficult for you, and when I need you in the future, you will have to come to Middle-earth." "
"This ......"
In his own foundation building period, even if he uses the power of the bronze tiger statue, he can only deal with ordinary monks in the Yudan Realm, no, it should only be able to deal with the Jidan Realm like the old man of the black python who only relies on medicine to go up.
With such a self in Xizhou, the overall strength of the monk is not too strong, and he may be able to cope with it. But what can you do if you go to a place like Middle-earth where powerful monks are all over the place?
"This matter is not in a hurry, you just need to improve your cultivation strength, of course, you don't have the ability to refuse, your strength is not enough to match me." The princess shrugged her shoulders and spread her hands.
Xu Yu looked at the imperial daughter, and then said: "If you don't hide your strength, then you should also be a foundation building realm monk, since you already know that I have the strength of the Qi Dan Realm with the strength of killing the old man of the black python, you should know that you can't keep me now." "
The princess frowned slightly, and said: "I really didn't hide my strength, but I advise you not to make a move on me, I am not talking to you as a person now, but discussing with you as the princess of Middle-earth." "
"Your strength is not weak, if you really join my command, your strength will be greatly improved, you may wish to consider what I said."
"I don't want to join any forces, I just want to live an ordinary life."
Promise shook his head and rejected the princess.
"Ordinary life? Hehe," the girl sneered at the words of promise, and said, "You think too much." "
As she spoke, the princess waved her right hand lightly, and a talisman suddenly appeared beside her.
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'll give you a lot of spirit stones." The woman smiled, "This money is enough to keep you fed and clothed, and I promise you'll get more property than you do now." "
"...... this?"
Xu Yu looked at the princess with a puzzled expression, because in her hand, a spirit stone card suddenly appeared.
The appearance of the spirit stone card is silvery-white.
"The spirit stone card, you can exchange it for spirit stones in the spirit stone line, or you can use it directly, although it can't be used in other countries, but it is common in Zhongzhou, and there are not many spirit stones in it, you can take out 100,000 high-grade spirit stones." The princess laughed.
Top-grade spirit stones?
Promise's eyes lit up suddenly.
The rarity of high-quality spirit stones is not unclear.
Because in the world of cultivating immortals, in addition to using drugs to assist cultivation, another means to increase the speed of cultivation is the spirit stone, which can be said to be one of the necessary things for monks.
However, this does not mean that the number of spirit stones that the monks have is very large, and what they consume during cultivation is not proportional to what they get, and generally speaking, most of the spirit stones in the hands of the monks cannot be saved.
Ordinary monks have a very limited number of spirit stones that can be saved in their lifetime, and of course, there are not too many monks who deliberately save spirit stones, and they will generally use them immediately when they get their hands.
A high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for thousands of lower-grade spirit stones, and the aura contained in the high-grade spirit stone can be seen.
This value, for ordinary people, is already astronomical.
But in a place like Middle-earth, it's nothing at all.
Xu Promise not only secretly scolded in his heart, big dog!
After all, where is the foundation of the sect, a sect, just purchasing spiritual herbs and pills every year, can obtain a huge amount of money, which can be used by many ordinary disciples, and even can supply the resources of the sect.
And in the middle of the continent, the spiritual veins are all over the place, the spiritual energy is extremely rich, and the spiritual stones are naturally sufficient.
These spirit stones may be able to support the spirit stone needs of the Yunxiao Sect for a whole year.
This is not unenticing for promises.
"How? Would you like to? The princess asked.
"Okay." Promise smiled faintly.
"However, before that, I want to ask," promised to take the spirit stone card that the princess still came, and said leisurely, "Are you not afraid that I will turn my back on the sect and run away directly with these spirit stones?" ”
The princess chuckled and said, "Would you do such a thing?" "
"Naturally, it won't, but I always feel that you seem to have an inexplicable trust in me?"
The princess turned her back and left slowly: "You will understand later, it is good to improve your strength." ”
In Xu Promise's view, the royal forces in Central Continent may not only find their whereabouts in order to find the mysterious powerhouse in Yunzhou, but also have a deeper purpose.
Xu Yu thought about it, and couldn't help sighing, he didn't know why the forces of the Zhongzhou Imperial Maiden paid so much attention to him, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.
......
Zhongzhou, the Imperial Palace.
In a secluded palace, the princess sat cross-legged on a futon, and in front of her were three beads that emitted a pale yellow light, which exuded a rich aura.
In the beads, there is a trace of strange fluctuations, which is extremely magical to look at.
"Imperial sister," a burly man in a golden robe appeared at the palace gate.
"Brother." The princess stood up and saluted respectfully, "How did my brother remember me here?" "
"How did you go to Xizhou's doppelganger, did you find any young talents?" The man asked.
"Yes." The princess nodded and said, "There is one, the foundation realm cultivation." "
"Oh?" The golden-robed man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Building the Foundation Realm, what's so peculiar?" "
"His strength should be about the same as mine." "But I think he has a good personality and is very interesting." "
"Just because he has a good personality, you want to pick him to help you?" The golden-robed man frowned and asked.
"I don't know." The princess shook her head and said, "He has been wearing a hat and can't see his appearance clearly, but I think this person still has a lot of potential." "
"Really?" The golden-robed man muttered to himself and said, "Of course, this is your own business, and I won't interfere too much." "
When the princess heard this, she bowed slightly, and the expression on her face was neither sad nor happy.
"By the way, what you just said, that young monk named Chen Yu, he is in Xizhou, what is his background?" The golden-robed man asked suddenly.
"This ......" the imperial maiden hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about that person, I only know that he is a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect and a sword cultivator. "
"A sword cultivator......," the man was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Does he have any intention of leaving the sect?" "
"In the West Continent." The princess said, "It seems that there is none." "
"...... the Cloud Sect?" The golden-robed man nodded and said, "A small sect that I haven't heard of." "
"Hmm." The imperial maiden bowed slightly, and then said, "Also, Yang Guards simply made some explorations on him, and found that the exercises he practiced were not the ones in the sect he was in, and he said that he had not seen them either. "
"Could it be that it is a family heirloom, this person is not the heir of a hidden family?" The golden-robed man raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's hear it." "
The princess took a deep breath and recounted some of the news she had gotten.
When it came to the exercises used in the promise, the princess frowned slightly:
"No, Yang Guard is well-informed, he said he hasn't seen it, then at least it's a very rare exercise in Jiuzhou, I think his potential is quite high, so he has the intention of soliciting."
Listening to the royal daughter's narration, the golden-robed man's eyes flashed with a fine light, and said: "Little sister, as a brother, I will only advise you once, you have to think well, and the chips must be pressed against the right person." "
"I understand what's at stake."
......
"Is my identity suspected?" In the room, Promise frowned.
"Boy, I should say that your heart is really big." The voice of the bronze tiger statue echoed in Xu Promise's mind, "At that time, there must have been a monk behind that imperial maiden, and I could only feel his breath, but if I didn't deliberately perceive it, I would ignore that person." ”
The tone of the bronze tiger statue was very serious: "This kind of existence is quite terrifying, I'm afraid that if that person moves a little thought, you will die and you can't die anymore." ”
"So you didn't even dare to talk to me in your heart before?" The promise was a little crying and laughing.
The bronze tiger statue is quite real this guy, and it is not ambiguous at all when it is time to coax.
If it weren't for the slight increase this time, Promise would definitely not go to Black Wind Village alone, one of the reasons is because although the Bronze Tiger Statue can be said to be a very powerful boost now, once a monk far stronger than its own strength appears, then Promise may not even be able to borrow much power from it at that time.
"You know a fart," the bronze tiger said angrily, "Lao Tzu's current body is a spirit weapon, what is a spirit weapon?" Either it's a natural spirit weapon, or it's a thing refined by people, if you meet a strong person, it's at most a matter of losing your head, and when you meet a strong person, it will be refined! ”
Xu Yu was slightly speechless: "Isn't it all the same?" ”
The princess before seemed to be quite curious about her background.
Xu didn't know if she wanted to investigate her background or if she had other plans, but that didn't stop him from being vigilant.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of what she will find out, after all, in this world, my biggest secret should not be unearthed by anyone except for a few people who may still be alive. However, it really surprised me that someone was sent to investigate my identity so quickly, and it seemed that the princess took this matter very seriously. Promise whispered to himself.
......
Day 2.
Morning.
Promise to wake up in the inn at the foot of the Sky Mountain.
The small town at the foot of Yunxiao Mountain, the name is quite clear, so it is called Yunxiao Town.
But because of the decline of the Yunxiao Sect, the reputation of this small town is not obvious, and except for some merchants who pass by and rest, it is rare to see any monks with high strength.
Therefore, this place is a treasure worth staying in the eyes of many merchants, and the reputation is not obvious, and there is no danger next to the Yunxiao Sect.
Now Xu Yu didn't plan to return to the sect directly, after all, if he entered and exited the sect too often, it would be very problematic if he was fine.
Coupled with the fact that he was carrying a huge sum of money, he was a little excited to say anything in his heart.
With the funds in hand, I thought about shopping around and buying something.
In Yunxiao Town, shops on both sides of the street have opened one after another, indicating the beginning of a new day.
The streets are bustling with people.
The shops on the street are full of all kinds of accessories, and they look quite interesting.
"Huh?"
As he was walking, all of a sudden, Promise's eyes lit up, because he found that in a small stall on the street, there was a quaint short sword.
The hilt of the sword is carved with a lifelike phoenix flower, although it is quaint, but it gives people a very good feeling, obviously, this sword should be a good thing.
promised to look at the stall owner, but saw that the other party looked a little familiar, but the more he looked closely, the more strange he became.
From this person's body, a trace of true qi fluctuations can be perceived, this person has a little bit of cultivation, and has not officially stepped into the qi cultivation period, but there should be some magic weapon on his body, which can make people have a little good impression of him after seeing him for the first time.
"Childe, are you going to buy something?" The stall owner glanced at the Ice Spirit Sword that Xu Yu was carrying behind him, and said with a smile, "Which sword do you want to choose, I will recommend it for you." "
"This!" Promise gestured to a scabbard on the table.
The maid glanced at the scabbard, then nodded, and said, "Childe is really a good eye, this sword was refined by a senior of the Yunxiao Sect, named 'Jiuluan', and it is an extremely rare divine weapon. "
"Oh? This sword was refined by someone from the Cloud Sky Sect? Xu asked in surprise.
Is there anyone else in the Cloud Sect who can refine swords? Although the promised time to enter the sect is still missing, it can be regarded as a short period of time, and I have never heard of anyone in the sect who can refine swords.
"Childe, don't you know?" The stall owner looked at Xu Promise in surprise and said, "This sword is called Jiuluan, in fact, it is the treasure of the Zhenzong of the Yunxiao Sect, it is said that this sword once killed a third-order demon beast, which can be described as fierce and powerful. "
"I see." Xu Promise couldn't hold back his laughter, the treasure of the Zhenzong?
I don't know if Yun Feiming will laugh or feel helpless after hearing that this stall owner consumes the name of Yunxiao Sect like this.
"Since it's the treasure of the Zhenzong, the value must be very expensive, right?"
"Yes, Childe, we have a small business, if you need it, the price must be reasonable, but this sword can't be sold, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble." The stall owner said, "Childe, you see, there is a strong prohibition on the blade of this sword, once this sword is used, the defensive cover of this sword will be activated, and this defensive shield can withstand the attacks of the monks in the foundation building period, which is really a rare treasure." "
"Hmm." Nodding approvingly, although this sword was not up to the level of the treasure of the Zhenzong that the vendor boasted, judging from the cold light it released, it was a good sword.
Then, he promised, "However, the value of this sword should not be too high, according to me, the original owner of this sword should have been buried under the claws of the demon, and a layer of not very obvious resentment was encircled on the sword body. "
After listening to the promise, the stall owner was obviously stunned for a moment: "Childe has good eyesight, this sword was collected from the small shop from elsewhere, if Childe decides to buy it, you can tell me the price, and I will calculate a preferential price for you." "
"Five lower-grade spirit stones, how's that?" Promise smiled.
Five!?
The stall owner's eyes widened, and then he nodded very quickly, as if he was afraid of renegligent promise, and invited the promise into the store.
"Childe, please come with me." The stall owner smiled and led the promise into the store.
After entering the shop, Promise's gaze swept over a row of swords on the counter.
This row of swords is divided into six grades, each of which is divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.
Xu Promise casually picked up a long sword and looked at it.
The sword is about one and a half feet long, the blade is about an inch wide, and the junction between the hilt and the scabbard is beautifully patterned.
But every time I read it, I promise a sentence in my heart.
Compared to the Jiuluan Sword just now, the quality of the swords placed here is too poor.
"This sword has just been refined by my boss, and it is of excellent quality." The stall owner said, "It can also increase the cultivation speed." "
"Then it's up to you." Promise said casually, "I like to do business the most, generally speaking, as long as the goods sold in your store are of high quality and the price is right, I will buy them, but if the quality gap is too large, I will not agree to the price." "
"This ...... That's no problem, Childe can rest assured. The stall owner said.
Promise nodded.
He picked up another sword and took a closer look.
This sword is exactly the same as the one, the only difference is that the pattern on the sword is a little different.
The flame in the pattern is in the shape of a heart, and the sword is topped by a flame.
After looking at it for a moment, Xu asked casually, "The materials of these two swords are the same, and the materials you sell in this shop are all of the same quality?" "
"Yes, don't hide it from you, this sword is a shipment just a month ago, and it was just delivered." "The other sword, which was delivered last night, was delivered to the store this morning. "
"Oh." Xu Yu picked up a long sword casually and shook it gently, and the sound of a sword roar immediately sounded on the sword body.
It's not a spiritual thing, but at least it's good in terms of materials.
You can easily control flying swords from the beginning of the foundation realm, and if you buy some long swords and put them in a storage bag, it may not be bad to use them as consumables.
The stall owner continued: "Childe, our goods are all first-class goods, whether it is quality or other aspects, they are far superior to others, if you need Childe, the price can be calculated for you a little cheaper." "
Promise nodded, then turned his gaze to a few other items.
These things were ordinary goods, and the promise could be seen at a glance, but he didn't want to lower the price.
Because if he lowers the price, I'm afraid this sword will be targeted.
In his opinion, five lower grade spirit stones should not be able to buy the Nine Luan Sword.
And the price of these ordinary goods, the subject matter is not expensive, and it can be bought with only worldly money.
Promise wandered around the store again and eventually found an iron box in it.
The iron box is pure black throughout, and it looks very unsightly, if it weren't for the promise to look at every item, it would definitely be ignored subconsciously.
"Huh?" Xu Yu saw the inscription on the iron box and touched it.
This inscription has a faint burning breath on it, and at the same time a shallow tingling feeling.
When the tin box was opened, a silvery-white light shone out of the tin box, and a parchment roll was placed inside.
This silvery-white light hovered in mid-air, and then, under the gaze of Promise, it turned into a circular pattern, on which were written four big characters - Nine Tricks of Thunder and Fire.
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, and he was now looking for a transitional exercise.
The Nine Aperture Thunder Fire Technique can purify the true qi in one's body into the Nine Aperture Thunder Fire, thus generating a new spiritual fire.
The cultivation of this exercise lies in the need to remove all the impurities in one's body, so that the true qi in one's body becomes more condensed, which is of great help to one's future practice.
Of course, the premise is that you have to purify all the true qi in your body to the point where you have enough.
The path of cultivation of the Nine Thunder Fire Technique is very difficult, and even if there is assistance, if you want to succeed in cultivation, you need to constantly refine it.
However, this is not a problem for promises.
The true qi in his body itself is enough, and his true qi is hidden in the meridians, circulating unconsciously, so he promises to feel that this exercise is quite a match for him.
So, he promised to call the bronze tiger statue in his heart.
The bronze tiger statue said very reluctantly: "Your kid has really become more and more arrogant recently, isn't it possible that Lao Tzu is regarded as a useful query tool?" ”
"Aren't we reciprocal, if my cultivation is improved, it will definitely be beneficial to you." Xu Yu said, "Look at this exercise, are there any mistakes or deviations in the cultivation path? ”
Although the bronze tiger statue was very unforgiving, it still looked at the sheepskin scroll while chattering.
Then, the bronze tiger statue's breathing became a little short, and then it said: "This thing, it's especially Lao Tzu's previous exercises!" ”
"Huh?" The words of the bronze tiger statue made Xu Yu cry and laugh a little, "Your previous exercises? ”
