The net worth of a Jindan stage monk is not unrich, and the spirit stones alone are more than 100,000, but Qiao Yuan is not short of spirit stones at all, just looking at something else.

Zhan Yao was like a treasure hunt, a pair of small hands were pulling back and forth among the treasures piled up like a hill, and a pair of big eyes were dripping and turning, for fear of missing something good.

It didn't take long for her to skillfully find a few jade slips, and put them into the storage bag directly without looking at them, for fear that Qiao Yuan would snatch them again like last time.

Qiao Yuan smiled helplessly, and didn't bother to pay attention to her, this Great Cold Dao person was not a monk of the Hehuan Sect, how could there be a double cultivation method.

After sorting out everything, Qiao Yuan sighed softly, this great cold Dao person is still a casual cultivator in the final analysis, although he has a rich net worth, but he only has many spirit stones, and some materials and magic weapons that are useful to him are nothing.

"Did you pick it? I took it all away. ”

Qiao Yuan looked at Zhan Yao and said with a chuckle.

Although Zhan Yao likes to count other people's storage bags, her vision is quite high, and ordinary magic weapon materials can't get into her eyes at all.

"It's another poor Jindan monk, what kind of tattered things are they, and this silk scarf can barely be seen. ”

Zhan Yao pursed her lips and said with disdain, and after speaking, she picked up a piece of aqua blue silk scarf, revealing a reluctant look.

Qiao Yuan glanced at her speechlessly, just these more than 100,000 spirit stones are enough to be called rich, she even said that people are poor and sour, I am afraid that if she is asked to take out 10,000 spirit stones, she will not be able to take them out.

Too lazy to argue with Zhan Yao, Qiao Yuan waved his hand and put those miscellaneous things into storage rings, thinking that he would buy some talismans after a while.

"Take out those jade slips and let me see them. ”

After packing up the loot, Qiao Yuan stretched out his hand to Zhan Yao and said with a chuckle.

"No, the jade slips are all mine. ”

Zhan Yao put her hands behind her back, hurriedly took a few steps back, revealing a vigilant look, and said coquettishly.

"Xiao Yao, Brother Qiao, just take a look, it's all yours after reading it. ”

Qiao Yuan had a harmless smile on his face, and said as he approached forward.

"Brother Qiao lied, you haven't returned the jade slips to Xiao Yao last time. ”

Zhan Yao glanced at it, immediately shook his head, and said vigilantly while stepping back.

Half an hour later, under Qiao Yuan's soft grinding and hard soaking, Zhan Yao finally took out the jade slips.

After a careful inspection, a few jade slips recorded all the secret techniques of the exercises, and Qiao Yuan swept them over and threw them to Zhan Yao.

He didn't lack exercises, nor did he lack secret techniques, but when his divine sense probed into the last jade slip, Qiao Yuan's expression finally changed.

The jade slip contained a map with two places marked on it, and it was those two places that changed his expression.

"It's actually the two rudders of the Shadows. ”

Qiao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"What shadows, what rudders, Brother Qiao, if you see it, return the jade slip to me." ”

Zhan Yao has been staring at Qiao Yuan from the side, seeing that he is very happy to throw the jade slip to himself, his face is quite happy, it can be seen that when Qiao Yuan held the last jade slip and insisted on letting go, Zhan Yao pouted and urged dissatisfiedly.

"This jade slip is useless to you, I will accept it. ”

Qiao Yuan put away his thoughts, looked at Zhan Yao and said softly, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Yao pounced on him with a puffed face, and he actually wanted to snatch the jade slip.

"Xiao Yao, don't make trouble, this is a map, what's the use of asking for it. ”

Qiao Yuan reached out and grabbed Zhan Yao's two wrists and said solemnly.

Seeing Qiao Yuan's serious expression, Zhan Yao stopped messing around, glanced at the jade slip with her divine sense, and after confirming that it was only a map, she muttered a few words aggrievedly, and then she walked into the wooden house and quietly checked the few jade slips she had just obtained.

"This girl ......"

Qiao Yuan said helplessly, he didn't know why this girl had a soft spot for Yu Jian, could it be that she had been poisoned by the double cultivation method.

After speaking, he set his eyes on the jade slip, and thought to himself in his heart.

Although Qiao Yuan had a grudge against the shadow, the culprits were Huang Xiuming and Bai Yunfei, and as for the others, he had also come into contact with several Dharma protectors, and several of them were killed by him on the spot.

"At the beginning, the black protector wanted to trade the fishing net spirit weapon with me, and then I refined the fishing net spirit weapon before I knew that this was the stump of the prison net, and Huang Xiuming said a few days ago that the reason why Bai Yunfei shot in the valley was also for the fishing net spirit weapon, it seems that this thing is not simple. ”

Qiao Yuan thought about it and thought of the fishing net spirit weapon, he turned over his hand and took out the fishing net spirit weapon, and muttered in a low voice while thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuan suddenly had the idea of going to the shadow rudder to take a look.

"I don't know if Bai Yunfei escaped the pursuit of Senior Brother Lian, presumably even if he escaped, he would definitely be injured. ”

Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of eagerness, and he whispered to himself.

He had known a long time ago that this fishnet spirit weapon had an extraordinary origin, but it was too mutilated and obviously not powerful enough.

And if he could catch the black protector, Qiao Yuan would definitely know more about this fishnet artifact, and maybe he could find a way to restore this fishnet artifact.

After thinking about it for a while, Qiao Yuan made a decision in his heart, it was too dangerous to sneak into the shadow rudder, and there were too many uncertain factors, so he still decided to explore the situation in the surrounding area first, and find out the truth before making a plan.

"Hmph! ”

At this moment, the door of the wooden house under the tree opened, and Zhan Yao walked out angrily, threw the jade slip towards Qiao Yuan, and said with a snort.

Qiao Yuan waved his hand to put away the jade slips, then stepped forward to comfort her a few words, and then told her his next plans.

As soon as the little girl heard Qiao Yuan's plan, a pair of peach blossom pupils only shone brightly, and at the same time, there was a cunning color in it that flickered non-stop.

The territory of Chushui Country is vast, roughly divided into four areas by the sphere of influence of the four major sects, and two days later, in a small mortal county town in the area where the Yueshui Sect is located, a pair of brothers and sisters dressed as ordinary people walked into the city.

The siblings were ordinary-looking, plainly dressed, and looked no different from the mere mortals walking on the streets.

"Brother Qiao, let's go there and have a big meal first. ”

Although Zhan Yao's true appearance was concealed, her smart and lively personality could not be changed, as soon as she entered the city, she quickly swept through the street, and then she pointed to a restaurant in front of her, turned to look at Qiao Yuan and said with a smile.

"I don't have much money, so let's eat here at noon. ”

Qiao Yuan glanced at her angrily, stepped forward and dragged her to a noodle stall, and said helplessly.

"We're here to do business, not to go shopping, you've seen that ordinary person go to that kind of restaurant to eat without any problems. ”

Qiao Yuan saw Zhan Yao's unhappy look, and hurriedly persuaded in a low voice.

"Aren't they all ordinary people?"

Zhan Yao pouted, pointed to the men and women coming and going at the door of the restaurant, and said in a coquettish voice.

"Little girl, it's the first time you come to Meixi City, those people are not ordinary people, they are relatives of immortals. ”

Qiao Yuan pulled Zhan Yao to sit on a polished oily bench when he saw an old man in his sixties step forward and said with a smile.

When Qiao Yuan heard this, he hurriedly turned his eyes to the door of the restaurant, only to see a carriage parked there, and several young men and women on the carriage slowly walked down, laughing and talking into the restaurant.

Those young men and women were all dressed in brocade clothes, and they didn't need to look to know that they must be the sons and daughters of big families.

"Relatives of immortals, uncle, there are still immortals in this Meixi City?"

Qiao Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at the old man, with a curious look on his face.

"I don't know if there are immortals in Meixi City, but those people are indeed relatives of immortals. ”

The old man saw that there were not many people who came to eat noodles at the moment, and he was relatively leisurely, so he said a few more words to Qiao Yuan with a smile.

"Those people just now are all Miss Gongzi of the Mei family, by the way, where are you from? Don't you know that the Mei family is related to the immortals?"

"Our brother and sister are here to visit relatives, I really don't know about the Mei family, uncle, listen to your tone, this Mei family is related to the immortals, it seems to be a well-known thing. ”

Qiao Yuan explained casually, then his eyes flashed, and he asked again.

"I don't need to tell you, young man, until the night comes. ”

When the old man saw a guest coming, he hurriedly said a word, then walked over with the rag in his hand, and wiped the table neatly.

A thoughtful look flashed in Qiao Yuan's eyes, then he ordered two bowls of ramen, quickly finished eating and left with Zhan Yao.

At this moment, it was noon, and the street was full of people, quite lively, Qiao Yuan came to the door of the restaurant, swept his senses, and found that those young ladies were just mortals.

Without lingering, Qiao Yuan took Zhan Yao to walk around the city, on the one hand, to familiarize himself with the terrain, and on the other hand, to explore the location of Namei Mansion.

Meixi City is not big, the radius is more than 20 miles, Qiao Yuan and Zhan Yao spent an hour walking all over the city, and finally found Meifu in the north of the city.

The two settled in an inn closest to Meifu, and as soon as Zhan Yao entered the room, he threw himself on the soft bed, threw off his shoes, and took out some snacks such as fried chestnuts with sugar he had just bought.

"Brother Qiao, do you want to eat?"

Zhan Yao saw Qiao Yuan sitting on the chair, frowning and contemplative, and hurriedly asked with a smile, and threw a few chestnuts at him without waiting for Qiao Yuan to answer.

Qiao Yuan took the chestnuts and didn't eat them, but said helplessly: "Xiao Yao, you have already opened the valley, you should not touch these mortal foods in the future, and try to restrain your appetite, otherwise it will be detrimental to your cultivation in the future." ”

"Oh, Brother Qiao, Xiao Yao eats it occasionally, and she doesn't eat it every day, so don't worry about it. ”

Zhan Yao was half-leaning on the bed, crossing a pair of Erlang legs, peeling chestnuts with both hands, chewing something in her mouth, and said impatiently.

Qiao Yuan suddenly felt a headache, how a good girl, in just a few years, she has become like this.

"Grandpa Zhan, you can't blame me for coming back, it must be something wrong with the Resurrection Pill you gave her. ”

Qiao Yuan cried silently in his heart, and then ignored her, got up and left the room, walked to the room where he was, and meditated quietly.

In a blink of an eye, the sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening, Qiao Yuan opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the window.

The window of this room was facing the Mei Mansion, and Qiao Yuan stood at the window, almost taking in half of the Mei Mansion in his eyes.

Looking at the brightly lit Mei Mansion, Qiao Yuan guessed that the rudder of the shadow was most likely hidden inside.

"The old man said that I would know when it was night, and I thought that when it was night, what would happen to this Mei Mansion. ”

Qiao Yuan stared at Mei Mansion without blinking, and whispered to himself.

In this way, it looked like a half-night, until after the hour, in the backyard of Namei Mansion, a white pillar of light suddenly rose, and then the second, third, and fourth pillars of light rose one after another.

It wasn't until more than ten breaths later that the ninth pillar of light appeared, and the Namei Mansion regained its calm.

Qiao Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he glanced around, seeing that no one came out to watch, thinking that the people here were probably used to it.

Qiao Yuan refocused his gaze on the nine pillars of light and muttered in a low voice.

"What the hell are those nine pillars of light?"
