Into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 124: The Secret of the City
"So powerful?"
Ye Feng was surprised.
"Of course!"
Old man Li nodded undoubtedly, paused, and the two gray eyebrows were twisted together again.
"However, although this Tianjing Stone is infinitely useful, it is too rare, most of it is controlled by the royal family of the Four Great Powers and the high-level of the Four Great Sects, and a small monk like you and me who has no background can only be willing to use one when they encounter a cultivation bottleneck or are about to improve their realm!"
Ye Feng thought so, bowed his head slightly, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked the old man tentatively:
"Uncle Li, is that the way the Tianjing stone is collected is also like ore, and it has been monopolized by the imperial court?"
Old man Li smiled, raised his hand and nodded the young man twice, "You little doll, you just want to trick my old man's words!"
Ye Feng was debunked by the old man and smiled awkwardly.
Although he blamed Ye Feng on his lips, Old Man Li still gave a vague answer to the young man:
"That's right! Indeed, as you said, the veins of the Tianjing Stone in the whole world are firmly grasped by the imperial power and the four major sects, otherwise, how could this small Thousand Cave City be guarded by hundreds of thousands of scimitars?"
This remark was very rubbling, but Ye Feng immediately understood.
Indeed, a Thousand Cave City that is so ordinary that it is not worth sending more than 100,000 troops to be stationed in the Jin Kingdom, so there is only one possibility for this kind of thing to happen, that is, near this Thousand Cave City, there must be a large area of Tianjing Stone vein.
On the surface, the royal family of the Jin Kingdom said that they wanted to send troops to protect the Thousand Caves City, but in fact, they were to monopolize the mineral veins here.
"Ahem, cough, cough~"
Old man Li suddenly coughed dryly, pulling Ye Feng's thoughts back.
Seeing that the young man turned his head, the old man continued to add:
"However, the rough stones of these veins are not called Tianjing Stone, but Tianyuan Mine, after they are mined, there will be craftsmen who will refine them into two things, one is the Tianjing Stone that can be improved and cultivated, and the other is the mixed yuan liquid that must be used for consumables such as magic weapons and charms!"
"Oh~"
Ye Feng suddenly became enlightened, and finally figured out a little bit of the rules of the game between the Immortal Cultivation Sect and the Four Great Kingdoms Imperial Family.
After explaining the doubts for the young man, Uncle Li pushed the small cloth bag to Ye Feng again.
The young man was about to refuse, but the old man knocked the back of his hand with a cigarette pouch and pot.
"Take it..."
Old man Li took out the fire fold and lit the big cigarette pouch and took a hard puff.
Seeing Ye Feng's refusal to move, the old man was amazed in his heart, squinted his eyes and said: "Little doll, take it, no matter how precious this Tianjing Stone is, for me now... It's also useless. ”
"What do you mean?"
Ye Feng was puzzled.
"Hehehe..."
Old man Li laughed dryly, spat out a puff of smoke, and said depressedly:
"Let me tell you the truth, my cultivation is only Xuanzhao Three Realms, the reason why you can't see through my cultivation is because I have the magic weapon given by the imperial court, and the reason why I took refuge in the imperial court is also because my cultivation has been locked in this third realm, and coming to Thousand Cave City is also for the sake of eating..."
"What?"
Ye Feng was shocked, "Uncle Li, why are you like this? Could it be because of the enemy?"
"It's not..."
Old man Li waved his hand, his expression was gloomy, "The reason for the mental method, my mental method, the practice is useless..."
After a pause, the old man pushed the cloth bag into Ye Feng's arms again, and said with a wry smile:
"I'm not good at learning, I'm not good at cultivating, I'm afraid of misleading people's children, and I don't have the courage to accept apprentices, and now I give you all this bit of my family foundation, which can be regarded as a thought for myself, if you can really show off in the forest in the future, I can also be regarded as a merit..."
Ye Feng stared at the old man, looked at each other for a long time, no longer shirked, and accepted the small cloth bag with a smile.
Out of the teahouse, it was already night.
Ye Feng followed Old Man Li's guidance, found Ma Lao, and went back to the small fence courtyard with Ma Lao.
After dinner, Ye Feng helped Shen Ting clean up the dishes and chopsticks, went back to his room, and began to meditate diligently.
Although Ye Feng stepped into the coveted Xuanzhao Realm, he knew that this was just the beginning.
Although he has three years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he still has the state of mind of "animal life" for more than 300 years.
But what awaits him ahead will be an even more brutal struggle for fame and fortune.
Ye Feng is not a greedy person, but if he wants to live in the world of monks and pursue his dreams, then he can only devote himself to that huge whirlpool of interests without hesitation.
Even if it is really shattered, it can't take half a step back.
Dangdang~
A crisp knock on the door pulled Ye Feng back from his extremely unstable mood.
He got up and opened the door, and there was the girl in white with a cold face standing outside the door.
"Sister Shen Ting..."
Ye Feng greeted her with a smile and let her into the house.
Shen Ting was not polite, and after entering the room, she sat straight on the chair and turned her head to look at Ye Feng, "You will leave in a while, right?"
"Huh? yes!"
Ye Feng was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart: "Strange... I haven't told them about this yet, how did she know..."
Shen Ting, who was in white, blinked, smiled slightly, and explained:
"I guessed it myself, although I don't know martial arts, but I can feel that you have improved a lot when you come back this time, and with your character, I'm afraid that this Thousand Cave City can't hold you anymore..."
"Oh..."
Ye Feng suddenly, turned around and leaned on the small table beside him, "Sister Shen Ting is so powerful! It's not my sister..."
Hearing the "sister" that seemed to be deliberately emphasized in his mouth, Shen Ting trembled slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her autumn-like eyes.
But all this was fleeting, and the girl soon regained her former calm and dignified.
She paused, stared into Ye Feng's eyes, and smiled: "I don't have anything to do, I just want to come and find an answer, since I found it, then I'll leave, you rest early..."
Without waiting for Ye Feng to answer, Shen Ting got up and left quickly.
A gust of cold wind poured into the house through the door, blowing Ye Feng into the house.
Plugging the door again, the young man walked to the bed, sat down, and muttered, "I really don't know if it's because the love words are too complicated, or if I'm already complicated..."
The toad ingot, who had been hiding in the Phantom Star Bead and secretly cultivating, felt the change in Ye Feng's mood and hurriedly opened his mouth to ask, but Ye Feng lay on the bed as if he hadn't heard it.
The next day, Ye Feng didn't go anywhere, just went to the street to buy a lot of rice, noodles and vegetables, and hoarded them in the small stove room, and after that, he hid in the dry bamboo forest behind the small courtyard and began to practice swords.
Even though there were still snowflakes in the sky, the young man's forehead was always sweating.
It's not that Ye Feng wants to lay a good foundation before entering the master's door, but he wants to vent his depression in his heart.
This practice lasted seven or eight days.
It wasn't until the day before the beginning of spring that Lu Yi and Sui Santiao, who were talking and laughing together, came to find Ye Feng with Lu Yi and Lin Qiuyue's invitations, and he stopped.
After that, Lu Yi asked Sui Santiao to go back to the restaurant first, and he stayed and talked with Ye Feng for a long time.
Except for the toad ingots, no one knew what they talked about.
I only knew that after leaving Lu Yi, Ye Feng walked out of the bamboo forest and began to talk about Lu Yi's marriage with everyone.
In the past few days when Ye Feng was desperately practicing swords, Su Qinghua also did not come to Ye Feng.
In fact, with her temperament, she was not angry with Ye Feng for a long time, and the reason why she didn't come was because she was also hiding in the restaurant and cultivating desperately.
When Ye Feng built the foundation of the Six Realms, Su Qinghua was already the foundation of the Eight Realms.
And in the year that Ye Feng disappeared, her cultivation had also improved, although it was not as fast as Ye Feng, but she had also reached the peak of the Eight Realms of Foundation Building.
So, Su Qinghua thought that she could improve her strength before Ye Feng triggered the jade pendant of Taishang Jiuzhou Island, and maybe she could also ask for a jade plate with the guide of Jiuzhou Island at that time.
In this way, she would not be separated from Ye Feng for long.
What Su Qinghua did, Ye Feng didn't know.
If Lu Yi hadn't told the truth of the matter in time, I am afraid that he would not know when he would have the courage to face his feelings.
Before dawn the next day, Ye Feng got up early and ran to Sui Sanjo's house alone.
Because today is the beginning of spring, it is the day of Lu Yi and Lin Qiuyue's wedding.
Lu Yi's gambling hall had already been redeemed to Shen Daoling, so naturally he couldn't set off from there to pick up the bride.
Therefore, after everyone discussed, Sui Santiao's home was taken as the starting point, and the restaurant became Lin Qiuyue's "maiden home".
Although Ye Feng came to Sui Sanjo's house early, he still couldn't step in.
Because it's already overcrowded.
Lu Yi's wedding, the three sects and nine streams of the Thousand Caves City have all arrived.
"Although Brother Lu Yi has lost his cultivation, his character is obvious to the people in the city, and everyone has not forgotten the former little overlord in the south of the city because of this incident!"
Ye Feng said secretly in his heart.
Looking at the Xuanjiao in his hand, the young man's heart moved, and he put it in the storage ring.
After all, on today's happy day, it is always difficult to carry a sword to swagger through the market.
After dawn, Lu Yi stepped on the jujube red horse, led the greeting team, and walked out of the alley of Sui Sanjo's house according to the auspicious time.
And the horse boy who was responsible for leading the horse for Lu Yi was the thin young man Ye Feng.
After picking up the bride, the team returned to Sui Sanjo's house and hurriedly prepared for the worship ceremony.
was busy until the evening, and everyone rushed back to the "Qingfeng Accord" and began to eat and drink.
After three rounds of drinking, some guests began to leave the table one after another, leaving only people such as Ma Lao, Tiger Mother, Shen family's father and daughter, and Old Man Li, who knew Lu Yi well, and chatted together.
looked at Lu Yi, who had already drunk at the adjacent table, his face was red and his ears were hot, and his tongue was big.
Ye Feng rubbed the jade pendant on Taishang Jiuzhou Island while looking at the expressions on everyone's faces with a smile in his eyes.
Ye Feng had already decided that after three days, he would trigger the jade pendant and go to Taishang Jiuzhou Island.
So today, he wants to see more of these familiar faces.
