Chapter 21: Red Makeup and the Cave
"One punch knocked a peak cultivator of the twelfth layer of the Qi refining period to pieces, Dao friendship and great majesty!
The woman in red stood opposite Tang Mian, her charming face with the majesty of being in a high position, and her tone was full of questioning.
"This senior doesn't know, this person came to the door in the middle of the day, and wanted to kill me, do you want me to sit and wait to be killed?"
Tang Mian tried his best to restrain himself from looking at the other party's extremely tempting hot body, and asked calmly in a tone.
"Senior, Daoist Friend shattered half of this person's body with a thunderous blow, could it be that he still thought that he could hide his strength? Moreover, he is only a Qi refining stage cultivator, how dare he build a foundation with you... Hey, that's not right!"
As she spoke, the woman in red was also looking at Tang Mian at the same time, and just as she wanted to say the three words "foundation building period", she was stunned on the spot.
Where is this man in front of him, who is a foundation building stage monk? It is clearly a low-level monk who has not yet reached the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period.
The woman in red had a surprised expression on her face, and her big eyes were full of suspicion.
The next moment, Tang Mian felt a huge divine consciousness enveloping him, and then disappeared in an instant, and the strength of this divine consciousness obviously belonged to the foundation building stage cultivators.
"If you don't master some unfathomable hidden cultivation spells, then it's the Qi Refining Period. ”
The truth is in front of the woman in red, and she has to believe it. But what made her very curious, how did this rookie cross so many realms and beat that twelfth-layer monk to pieces with one punch?
Without waiting for the woman in red to think about it, Tang Mian had already clasped her fists and saluted:
"This female senior, I have been living in Dengxian Tower for two months, and this person is an uninvited guest, which is right and wrong is an obvious thing, can I leave?"
Of course, the woman in red didn't want to let Tang Mian leave so easily, a fourth-level Qi refining monk actually had the strength to exceed the Qi refining period, no matter how you look at it, it was not normal.
When the woman in red hesitated, a soldier from the City Lord's Mansion flew from the street below.
"Lord Red Makeup, my subordinates have found out the identity of this person, this person is Qiu San, one of the masters of the Laoshan Hall. ”
The armor stood aside respectfully to report the report, not even daring to breathe in front of the red makeup.
"Hmph! Laoshan Society? It's the kind of loose cultivation organization that has just been established? I heard that it specializes in killing people and looting treasures, so this hall master is not a good person!"
Red makeup nodded, his face did not show too much emotion, killing people and grabbing treasures is not a big deal in the cultivation world, and there are not a few great monks who make a fortune from this, but those who specialize in this business are also despised, after all, this is almost a demonic behavior.
Red Makeup looked at Tang Mian again, her gaze had softened a lot, she pondered for a moment, and said:
"Since Daoyou is a victim, then my City Lord's Mansion will naturally not pursue anything, as for this person, I hope that Daoyou can let us take him away, according to the rules of Lingyuan City, take away the storage bag, and work for fifty years. ”
The red makeup words meant to discuss, but the tone was undoubted, of course Tang Mian would not object, he didn't want to go against a big force like the City Lord's Mansion.
Tang Mian nodded, clasped his fists and saluted:
"Then there will be seniors, Xiaosheng will retire!"
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but the red makeup on the opposite side said:
"Daoyou, slow down!May I ask Daoyou's name?"
"Seniors can just call me Tang Mian. ”
Although the other party looked like a young and beautiful beauty, after all, Xiu Wei was there, too much higher than Tang Mian, and he didn't dare to be rude at all.
"Daoyou has such strength, don't mention the word senior, red makeup wants to invite Daoyou to join Lingyuan City as a guest, if you are interested, you can go to the city lord's mansion to find me with this card. ”
Red Makeup threw a wooden plaque engraved with the word "red" to Tang Mian, and then took a cadre of armor soldiers to escort the half-dead Qiu San out of here.
After seeing the red shadow leave, Tang Mian looked at the wooden card he was holding in his hand, which still exuded a faint feminine fragrance.
"Is the City Lord's Mansion a good place to go?"
Tang Mian smiled and put the wooden card into the storage bag.
Qiu San's attack was a small episode, but it made Tang Mian more vigilant against the cultivation realm, this is not a harmonious world.
"He was able to come to the door so directly, it seems that he has been watching me for quite some time, and I should have moved to another place. ”
Tang Mian returned to Dengxian Tower, packed the things in the guest room into a storage bag, and then disappeared in place.
The news of Qiu San's arrest on the streets of Lingyuan City spread among the cultivators nearby, and his subordinates who remained in Lingyuan City also quickly reported the news to the Laoshan Society's lair.
The person was detained by Lingyuan City, and the Laoshan Society only asked for people a few times in name, and there was no follow-up after that.
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Xuan, who were still on the way, also heard about it, which was naturally excellent news for them.
"The long-stay inn is not an option, let's go to a cleaner cave outside the city. ”
Tang Mian learned from others that the industry of this Lingyuan City was not only limited to the city, but the entire area around Lingyuan Valley was its sphere of influence.
The City Lord's Mansion has opened up large and small caves on the Qianzhang Mountain Wall behind Lingyuan City many years ago, and these caves are all owned by the City Lord's Mansion, which can be rented or sold, but the price is much higher than the independent courtyard in the city.
Tang Mian didn't want to leave Lingyuan City, a city of cultivators, for the time being, he hoped to cultivate to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period here, and at least learn mid-level and above spells such as flying techniques and breathing techniques.
In this way, those caves on the mountain wall became Tang Mian's best choice.
A few days later, Tang Mian and a monk dressed as a bookkeeper walked on the path carved out between the mountain walls of Lingyuan Valley, and at the end of the path there was a cave shrouded in light.
"Tang Daoyou, you really have a good eye, this Cave House One Hundred and Three is not only secluded, but also the right size and strong aura. There are all kinds of spirit beast rooms, practice rooms, etc., and the most important thing is safety, the entire Lingyuan Valley Cave Mansion uses the same defensive array as Lingyuan City, which can resist the attacks of monks below the Yudan stage..."
This person who spoke endlessly was Qi Zhen, the manager of Lingyuan Valley. Tang Mian stood beside this person, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he thought that this Qi Zhen was very similar to the staff of the sales office on the earth, and he was really able to speak.
"Well, it's really good here, but I don't know how much it's worth?"
Tang Mian asked straight to the point.
When Qi Zhen heard this, he hurriedly swallowed back the words he had just prepared, showed a smile on his face, and said:
"If Tang Daoyou rents it, he only needs three medium-grade spirit stones every year, and if he buys it, he needs a hundred medium-grade spirit stones. ”
Tang Mian thought that his net worth was quite rich, but he was also taken aback by this price, and he actually needed three medium-grade spirit stones to rent for a year, that is, three hundred low-grade spirit stones. Although it seems to be a bit more cost-effective to buy, but if you ask the monks near Lingyuan City, who can take out 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, this is simply an astronomical amount!
"I want to rent it for five years, I wonder if I can get a discount on the face of the red-makeup adults in your mansion?"
As he spoke, Tang Mian threw a wooden card to Qi Zhen without blushing or beating his heart.
