Chapter Seventy-One: Preparation
The vicinity of the city gate cave is extremely lively, with both mortals and monks coming and going, and there are sometimes black-clad soldiers who maintain order and law on both sides of the road.
As Tang Mian, he naturally didn't have to wait in line, he took out his waist card and walked in the middle of the road. Before Tang Mian actually walked to the city gate, a soldier on duty next to him rushed to stop him with a magic weapon.
The armor wanted to scold Tang Mian for not having long eyes, but he was blocked by the commander who came at a faster speed.
"Daring, don't you want to die! This is Lord Deacon!"
"Lord Deacon, this is a new arrival in the last two years, please don't blame it!"
Of course, Tang Mian didn't care about such a thing, and after waving his hand, he walked straight towards the city.
"Many of these armor soldiers are new faces, and it seems that the City Lord's Mansion has recruited a lot of troops in recent years. ”
Walking on the bustling streets of Lingyuan City, Tang Mian looked around and enjoyed the scenery of this new city.
Since many mortals moved to this city, the outer city, the inner city, and the most central city lord's mansion were set up in the city. Among them, the outer city is the residence of mortals, and the prosperity is not inferior to the three major county towns of the three counties. Lingyuan Valley was originally located at the junction of the three counties, and after passing through the city lord's mansion to open up the road, this place became the hub of the trade of the three counties, and it was a good place for mortals to make money.
The inner city is smaller than the outer city, and the stone bricks of its walls are very different from the outer walls, but they are talismans that have been carved by a talisman. It is said that the cities of the counties north of the Yunling Mountains are all made of this kind of talisman bricks, which can play a good role in the war, and now Lingyuan City can be regarded as keeping up with the trend.
Most of the shops in the streets of the inner city are related to cultivators, and with the expansion of Lingyuan City, many famous chambers of commerce from the north have been stationed here, making the inner city particularly prosperous.
"It's a lot easier. ”
Tang Mian needs to prepare some auxiliary pills to use in the foundation building process, this kind of pill related to foundation building was only available to the Wantong Chamber of Commerce in the past, but now it is not so troublesome.
"Tang Mian is out of the customs?"
The fingers of red makeup and white jade pinched a small communication magic disk, and the person who sent the message was the leader of the armor who was on duty in the outer city just now.
"Do you want to call him here? There have been a few trade routes that have been uneasy lately, and maybe he can help. ”
Jiang Feng sat on the Taishi chair on the side, and on the table were important documents from the City Lord's Mansion.
Red Makeup shook his head, directly rejecting Jiang Feng's proposal, and said:
"Don't bother him with these trifles. ”
Jiang Feng saw that the red makeup was resolute, and he didn't say anything more, after all, the status of the red makeup that had successfully broken through to the late stage of foundation building was not lower than him.
Before the Battle of Huangshiling, the cultivation of red makeup was stuck in the bottleneck of the middle stage of foundation building, and the experience of fighting with Yan Lei made her receive a lot of goods, originally her spiritual root qualification was not bad, and she returned to Lingyuan City with the help of various resources and naturally broke through to the later stage.
Jindan monks like Venerable Lingyuan often traveled far and wide, coming and going without a trace, so the actual rulers of the City Lord's Mansion today were Hong Xiang and Jiang Feng. As the confidante of the Venerable Lingyuan, maybe she will be the wife of the city lord in the future, after the breakthrough in the late stage, the status of red makeup in the city lord's mansion even faintly surpassed Jiang Feng.
However, Red Makeup is not obsessed with power, she is just doing everything she can to make Lingyuan City stronger and stronger, because this is an important plan for her sweetheart.
The auxiliary pill that Tang Mian needed was not a rare thing, and it took him half an hour in the inner city to completely assemble it, and he spent a total of ten medium-grade spirit stones.
Near noon, Tang Mian came to a mortal restaurant in the outer city, asked Xiao Er for a table of good dishes, and then sat on the seat on the street on the second floor to drink tea.
A high-roller like Tang Mian didn't dare to slack off, and quickly brought the meal. The fragrant food in front of him made Tang Mian's appetite move, he hadn't enjoyed human food for many years.
Just as Tang Mian was about to do something, a pale red shadow appeared in front of him. Tang Mian looked up, and under the other party's translucent red gauze skirt was a proud curve that provoked fire, which could seduce people's souls when they were still and moved.
"Can I sit down?"
The beautiful face with red makeup and the city showed a look of anger.
Tang Mian's face was red to the base of his neck, although he recognized it the moment the red makeup appeared, but the beautiful scenery was current, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Which fairy should I have descended to earth, it turned out to be red makeup, please sit down. ”
Tang Mian's face was indeed thick enough, and he was still red-faced, and he returned to normal in an instant.
The red makeup glared at Tang Mian, then looked him up and down, and then chuckled:
"You've broken through to the twelfth layer in just seven years, and it seems that your cultivation talent is good. ”
Tang Mian smiled when he heard this, with a noncommittal look.
"I know that you should be preparing to build the foundation, I have a jade slip here for you to hold, remember not to spread it. ”
Red Makeup took out a piece of jade slip out of nowhere and handed it to Tang Mian.
Tang Mian took the jade slip from the red makeup hand, he could naturally guess what was in it, and he couldn't help but be a little moved for a while, so much so that he even forgot the words of thanks.
"This..."
"Okay, there are still important things waiting for me to deal with in the house, so I won't accompany you to dinner, I hope you build the foundation smoothly. ”
Red Makeup stood up, glanced at Tang Mian deeply, and then disappeared from his seat without waiting for the latter to say anything more.
The piece of jade slip given to him by red makeup may be a means to win over, or it may be to repay the grace of Huangshiling for saving him at the beginning, Tang Mian didn't think too much about it, because after having Chen Li's friend, he believed that not everyone in the cultivation world was sinister.
There is no doubt that the content in the jade slip is the experience of building the foundation of red makeup, but with the exploration of Tang Mian's divine sense, he also saw the relevant experience in the middle and late stages of foundation building.
"When did she break through to the late stages?"
Tang Mian was a little dumbfounded, and the admiration for red makeup in his heart arose.
At this time, looking at the jade slip in his hand, its value far exceeds that of Chen Li, such a large area of the three counties, the number of monks in the later stage of foundation building will not exceed the number of ten fingers, which is enough to show the preciousness of his experience.
After getting such important things, Tang Mian was also interested in the food on the table, and he finished his meal like a storm, and then returned to the cave in a hurry.
Tang Mian held the jade slip and looked at it for three days and three nights, and the words in it were already able to be memorized backwards, and he also used it to corroborate with Chen Li's foundation building process to ensure that his understanding of the foundation building period was thorough enough.
Bang!
Tang Mian crushed the jade slip, and by now he was completely ready to build the foundation.
