Chapter 1148: Human Affection is Warm and Cold
"Since there are already people in Yancheng who have come out of the Cold Cloud Secret Realm safely, and their strength has increased greatly, it means that they have gained a lot of benefits from the Secret Realm. Lian Cheng secretly said in his heart: "The top priority now is to find out who among these people gets the most benefits, maybe the "Cold Condensing Dao Recipe" that Lian Jia wants is on this person's body." β
"Master Hu, I came from Xuzhou City in a hurry this time, and there is no one available under my hands, can you do me a small favor?" Then, Lian Cheng said to Hu Huang: "Of course, I won't let you suffer after the matter is completed!"
"Even the old-timers, your old man is still so polite to us juniors, it's really too out-of-the-box!" Hu Huang and the others knew Lian Cheng's identity, and they couldn't wait to hold on to the Lian family, a big tree in the sky, with such a good opportunity to perform, how could they let it go!
"Senior, don't worry, as long as you tell the matter, my Ye family disciples promise to do it for you beautifully!" Ye Meng nodded, pretending to be generous and pointing at the Ye family disciples behind him, and said loudly.
"Of course I'm very relieved to have the words of the two family heads!" Seeing that these small families in the ghost city were willing to work so hard for themselves, Lian Cheng smiled happily.
Subsequently, Lian Cheng instructed everyone to inquire about the matter, and asked the spies from Youcheng to go to Yancheng overnight to investigate.
After finding a quiet place at Hu's house, Lian Cheng planned to stay for the time being, waiting for the spies to reply to the message.
Soon, two days passed.
The spies who went to Yancheng brought back a lot of news one after another, what several major families were destroyed, there was no high-level person left, who got treasures in the secret realm and thus increased their strength greatly, and later the four major families in Yancheng redivided the territory and other trivial matters.
In just one day, Lian Chengcheng had a general understanding of what happened in Yancheng during this time.
"Among these intelligences, thirty percent of them are actually related to a person named Xia Bo. Sitting in the small courtyard, Lian Cheng casually tasted the good tea he brought, and casually flipped through the paper information on the stone table: "Also, this Xia Bo was very generous in giving more than 1,000 catties of dragon meat to the four major families of Yancheng before the two cities competed!"
Jiaolong is a very rare beast, even if someone is lucky enough to encounter it, it is not a matter of whether they can survive or not, let alone slay the dragon.
Killing the dragon and giving the dragon meat to others as an item is indeed very amazing.
"Even in our family, dragon meat is a first-class holy product, and only the head of the family and a few elders with real power have the right to enjoy it. After flipping through the information on the table, Lian Cheng sighed sourly: "But this Xia Bo is good, he gave it away like a cabbage! This little guy named Xia Bo is only in his twenties, it's really not simple!"
"Xia Bo can divide more than 1,000 catties of dragon meat, which means that there will be more dragon meat on this kid's body, as long as he sees the opportunity to take Xia Bo down in one fell swoop, then the dragon meat will be at his fingertips, maybe there are dragon tendons, dragon scales or something of the best refining materials!" At the same time, Lian Cheng suddenly had an idea in his heart: "If you can't find that copy of "Condensing Cold Dao Recipe", it is also a great achievement to get some dragon meat to go back." β
"Compared to the book "Condensing Cold Dao Jue" that no one has ever seen, it is still more realistic dragon meat. Lian Cheng's mind suddenly became hot, and his mind turned rapidly, and the more he got to the end, the more he felt that this plan was feasible: "With his current cultivation in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, if he wants to break through again, it will be impossible without a few decades." If you have dragon meat as an aid, you may be able to break through to the realm of Dayi Immortal in a short period of time, or even a higher realm, and your status in the Lian family will also rise. β
"That's it!" After Lian Cheng made up his mind, he immediately asked people to call Hu Huang and Ye Meng over.
Hu Huang and Ye Meng walked into the courtyard and saw Lian Cheng sitting there, shaking his head and drinking fragrant tea, looking very good.
"Even the old-timers and juniors are polite. Ye Meng cautiously leaned over and whispered, "I don't know if your old man called us over, do you have something to order?"
"Of course there is something. Lian Cheng squinted his eyes, took out one from the stack of information on the stone table, handed it to Ye Meng, and said, "Take it and take a look." β
"Yes!" Ye Meng took the piece of paper and took a closer look, and found that what was written on it was the matter of Xia Bo distributing a thousand catties of dragon meat to the four major families.
Ye Meng had known about this information for a long time, but he didn't know if Lian Cheng suddenly mentioned this matter, did he have any other ideas?
"Brother Hu, take a look at it too. Ye Meng is a relatively timid person, even if he has a guess in his heart, but he is afraid that he will make a mistake and anger Lian Cheng, so he doesn't dare to ask easily, so his eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea in his heart, handed the paper to Hu Huang beside him, and said.
"Senior, we knew about this news a few days ago, do you also want to get some dragon meat?" As the leader of the five major families in Youcheng, Hu Huang himself was very bold, grabbed the paper, glanced at it casually, and asked Lian Cheng.
In Hu Huang's opinion, the things recorded on this piece of paper, except for the 1,000 catties of dragon meat that looked more scary, only Xia Bo was the only one who was more worthy of scrutiny.
When the two cities were fighting, Hu Huang had seen this Xia Bo, this Xia Bo didn't look very old, but his cultivation was deeper than some old guys, and he had the cultivation in the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.
What made Hu Huang feel terrible was that he could vaguely feel a lurking violent aura from Xia Bo, he didn't know if this was a problem with Xia Bo's own cultivation techniques, or if there was some strange treasure on Xia Bo's body, which changed the momentum exuded by his body.
However, in either case, it is a very scary thing.
If Xia Bo really worked hard, Hu Huang would definitely not get any benefits.
Now that Lian Cheng mentioned Xia Bo and the 1,000 catties of dragon meat, Hu Huang's first reaction was to exclude Xia Bo, so he thought that Lian Cheng wanted to get dragon meat.
Hu Huang really didn't want to have too much entanglement with Xia Bo, but unfortunately Lian Cheng was just playing this wishful thinking.
"Hu Huang, the people in your small place are really too petty, I don't even have anything in Xuzhou, do you need to covet the dragon meat on a junior?" Of course, Lian Cheng would not directly say his true purpose, and pretended to be clear: "I just think that this kid named Xia Bo has such a powerful means, maybe even the disappearance of An Tian and others has something to do with him, I want to arrest this person and interrogate him, do you understand?"
"Senior, I understand what you mean!" was reprimanded by Lian Cheng, Hu Huang didn't dare to fight back at all, so he had to say that he understood.
"What do you understand?" Lian Cheng asked, "Did I tell you anything?"
"Senior, didn't you say that you were going to arrest that Xia Bo and interrogate him?" Seeing that Lian Cheng's face was wrong, Ye Meng hurriedly answered: "We'll send someone to arrest someone!"
"Hmph, self-righteousness!" Lian Cheng snorted coldly again, almost scaring Hu Huang and the others to death.
"Well, after staying at home for two days, my body is a little stiff, and I have to go out and move a little. Lian Cheng's face suddenly softened, and he slowly spoke: "You will send someone to find Xia Bo's whereabouts now, don't act rashly after you find out, come back directly to inform me, and then I will personally arrest someone, I said this clearly enough, right?"
Lian Cheng said righteously and awe-inspiringly, looking unmoved by external objects, in fact, this old guy is not only vicious, but also believes in no one except himself.
Lian Cheng wanted to catch Xia Bo for the sake of things like dragon meat and dragon tendons on Xia Bo's body.
Lian Cheng knew that Xia Bo's cultivation should not be high, if he was really caught by Hu Huang's subordinates and took away the storage magic weapon on Xia Bo's body, then he would have to spend some effort to snatch it up.
In order to prevent such a thing from happening, they had to make up a statement that sounded quite reasonable, so that Hu Huang and the others believed it.
"These two people are so naΓ―ve. After Hu Huang and the others retreated, Lian Cheng showed a sneer, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "If the people in Yancheng find out that Xia Bo has suddenly disappeared, they will definitely send people to track them down, if they track down Hu Huang and the others, it will definitely be a big battle between the two cities." It's just that these things have nothing to do with me, as long as I get enough benefits, I will leave immediately, and I still care about the lives and deaths of others?"
Hu Huang and Ye Meng didn't know that Lian Cheng's old guy's mind would be so ruthless, and they still had the dream of hugging Lian Jia's thighs!
Hu Huang and the two of them left the small courtyard, and soon sent spies to Yancheng to inquire about the news and pay close attention to Xia Bo's movements.
At this time, Xia Bo didn't know that he had been secretly hidden Lian Cheng.
Since the two-city competition ended with Yancheng winning as a perfect ending, Xia Bo has had a very boring life these days.
In addition to practicing and refining the Jiaolong Neidan behind closed doors every day, Xia Bo wandered around, such as going to the Yun family to see how they were refining, competing with Murong Qianyi and others to test their swordsmanship, or wandering around the streets of Yancheng, which was very comfortable.
In this relaxed cultivation environment, Xia Bo's cultivation grew rapidly, and the Jiaolong Inner Pill in his body had only been refined by less than two percent, and the true qi reserves in his whole body were growing rapidly all the time.
"This is because the true qi exceeds his own realm!" However, the true qi grew too fast, making Xia Bo feel like his hands and feet were not obeying the call, and the overflowing true qi was moving around, somewhat uncontrollable.
"I have only cultivated to the first level, and the quality of the true qi in my body is fifty percent higher than before, and the destructive power has greatly increased, I have to say that this exercise is indeed very profound, no wonder it makes the people of the Lian family think about it. However, fortunately, Xia Bo has been cultivating the book "Condensing Cold Dao Recipe" during this time, and the true qi in his body is constantly being consumed, and he has come and gone, barely maintaining a balanced state: "It's a pity that my realm is still in the early stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, and I haven't broken through to the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm, which can be regarded as a small pity." β
Xia Bo was very sure in his heart, as long as he could completely refine the Jiaolong Neidan in his body, he would definitely be able to cultivate the "Cold Dao Technique" to the second layer realm, but this matter was not in a hurry, and he had to refine it slowly.
This morning, after a night of penance, Xia Bo refined some of the Jiaolong Neidan, and then walked out of the Murong family's mansion, preparing to go to the Yun family's mansion to have a look.
After all, Yun Zhan had promised to refine a flying magic weapon for him, the competition between the two cities had ended, and this matter should be carried out at the right time, and he was still waiting for the magic weapon.
After the destruction of more than ten families in Yancheng, the remaining four families happened to divide the four directions of the entire city, the Yun family was in the south, the Murong family was in the west, and the other two families were in the east and north, forming a delicate balance situation.
Xia Bo swaggered down the street, and people who knew him smiled and greeted him from time to time.
Xia Bo responded politely one by one and seemed very approachable.
After all, in the competition between the two cities, Xia Bo was out of the limelight, and even several family heads in the hidden city looked at him differently, and his reputation spread in Yancheng.
"It's different if this person is famous, I think when you first came to this broken city, who was looking at you?" The green snake in the Xia Bo Space Ring suddenly said: "You see it's good now, they all want to call you brothers!"
"Go, go, what do you know, this is called warm and cold, you know?" At this moment, Xia Bo was in a very good mood, so he made a joke with the green snake.
"Human affection?" The green snake couldn't help but roll his eyes, and admitted very bluntly: "I'm a snake, not a human, and I don't know what human affection is." β
"Yu Bing, did you say that?" Then, the green snake looked at Yu Bing again and said.
"Everything you say is right, it's always okay, right?" Yu Bing, who was cultivating with his eyes closed on the side, opened his eyes violently and replied helplessly: "I ask you, don't talk to me when I meditate and cultivate in the future, it's easy to distract me!"
"In my impression, I remember that you're just like me, not a person who likes to cultivate, right?" Qing Snake found that Yu Bing wasn't joking, so he asked a little inexplicably: "We are all divine beasts, and as we grow older, we will naturally keep up with our cultivation, and we don't need to cultivate at all, why do you have nothing to do with meditation and cultivation?"
"Because I'm about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm. Yu Bing rolled her eyes and explained, "I estimate that another three or five days of penance will be about the same!"
"What? You're about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm?" Hearing this, the green snake instantly exclaimed, "How is this possible?"
Xia Bo was also full of surprise, the original cultivation of the green snake and Yu Bing was about the same, and they broke through to the late stage of the human immortal realm almost at the same time after absorbing the blood of the dragon.
However, how long has it been, and Yu Bing is about to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm again, which is like being beaten with chicken blood.
Compared with the two, although the cultivation of the green snake has also increased a lot, the shackles of the cultivation realm still show no signs of loosening.
The green snake hasn't even touched the threshold of the Earth Immortal Realm, and Yu Bing is already about to break through!
"Actually, I don't even know what's going on. Yu Bing was really a little hairy when he was stared at by the green snake, so he explained: "I just think that the true qi has been growing very fast in the past few days, and even the realm is rising, I really don't know what happened." β
"That's ......" Green Snake thought about it and found that the two of them were basically doing the same thing during this time, but why did Yu Bing's cultivation grow so fast?
