The two of them tried to play mysteriously, and neither of them revealed more words, but they knew in each other's hearts that the other party must have some hole cards, and if they really faced Xing Gongzi, they might not have a chance of winning.

For Zhang Di, after this incident, his impression of Jin Ruolin, the eldest lady, has changed greatly, and he no longer thinks that she is arrogant and useless, but that she is actually quite scheming, and she is afraid that she is deliberately pretending to be arrogant, in order to paralyze that Xing Gongzi.

Next, Zhang Di inquired about some more things around the corner, and when he saw that it was too late, he said goodbye and left.

For the next three days, Zhang Di closed his door and did not come out, closing his eyes every day to recuperate, secretly practicing the Dafa of Demon Dao Distraction, and at the same time comprehending the sharp gold recipe given to him by Jin Wuming.

Speaking of which, this sharp gold technique is the most basic of the gold spells, easy to learn and difficult to master, and it needs to be fused with divine thoughts and mana to be extremely compressed in order to produce a trace of sharp gold qi. The more profound the cultivation, the stronger and sharper this sharp gold qi becomes, the faster and more lethal the attack will be!

For example, to achieve the rapid power of Xing Gongzi, it will take at least ten years of hard work, and it depends on personal understanding.

For Zhang Di, the difficulty lies in the fusion of divine thoughts and mana, as well as the way of compression, and it is not convenient for him to try it on the giant crane, so he repeatedly deduces it in his mind, imagining how to drive this spell.

Fortunately, he has mastered the Dafa of Distraction, so he can completely divide two thoughts in his mind, simulating divine thoughts on the one hand, and mana on the other, and making various attempts to fuse, and the effect is quite good.

Because he suffered a loss under Xing Gongzi's sharp gold trick before leaving, Zhang Di attached great importance to studying it, so he studied for three days and forgot to sleep and eat. Shi Jian and Han Baobao were greatly depressed, and they didn't agree when they called him. I thought that Zhang Di was suffering from lovesickness, and thought about Jin Ruolin all day long. I didn't have to make fun of the two of them.

Xing Gongzi kept his promise and did not come to trouble Zhang Di or Jin Ruolin and others again, and the two sides were safe, and finally flew to Qingning City three days later.

Qingning City.

It is a small acropolis, covering an area of five or six miles, with no more than 100 residents, stationed in a Qingyue sect foundation building period monk, leading more than a dozen Qi refining period monks, and hundreds of body refining monks.

Besides. There is a defensive formation, which can resist the attacks of thousands of demon warriors or hundreds of heavenly demons, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The strategic value of Qingning City lies in the fact that there is a large spirit stone mine built hundreds of miles to the north, and the spirit stones that need to be transported here are cleaned and processed and then transported back to the rear.

In addition, it is also a liaison supply station, which is the last place for monks who go deep into the area occupied by the Heavenly Demons to carry out special missions.

It can well be imagined. There are hundreds of casual cultivators and body cultivators who have come to adventure here, and everyone gathers in the square market in the city, and they are bustling with each other. In addition to the scarce materials such as Spirit Valley and Spirit Tools, the goods traded were some things obtained from the Heavenly Demon Occupation Zone, such as the Heavenly Demon Inner Pill, the essence blood of the Demon Body, the materials of the Demon Beast, and so on.

This was an eye-opener for Zhang Di and others. Spent three days wandering around the city, resting and recuperating. While bartering some heavenly demon things. Originally, Jin Ruolin was going to perform the demon hunting mission, since she could buy some Heavenly Demon Neidan and Demon Body Essence Blood for money. Naturally, she honestly and unceremoniously searched all these materials on the market.

Of course, it cost a lot of money, and it cost thousands of spirit stones, which made Han Shi and the others smack.

After resting for three days, the city lord surnamed Xiao, that is, the monk in the foundation building period, finally finished his defense, and specially set up a banquet to entertain Xing Gongzi and Jin Ruolin, after all, Xing Gongzi is not small, and Jin Ruolin also represents Linggu Hall, so he can't help but pay attention to this Xiao city lord.

After chatting a few words during the banquet, City Lord Xiao looked at Xing Gongzi and asked, "I don't know if Xing Gongzi has a plan in advance to carry out this demon hunting mission, where are you going to start?"

Xing Gongzi shook the folding fan, fanned it a few times, raised his chin at Jin Ruolin, and said with a smile: "Haha, City Lord Xiao, I am just acting as a flower messenger this time, and you have to ask Miss Jin for the specific plan." ”

"Oh, Miss Jin, I don't know what your plans are?" City Lord Xiao turned to Jin Ruolin and asked, although he was a foundation building stage cultivator, which was one level higher than the realm of Xing Gongzi and Jin Ruolin, but the two of them were not small, and he couldn't help but be disrespectful.

Jin Ruolin frowned when she heard this, and said, "Originally, we wanted to rest for three days, so we went directly north, crossed the cordon and entered the Heavenly Demon Occupation Area, to hunt down a few high-level Heavenly Demons." However, in the past few days, I have been wandering around the market, and I have heard that within hundreds of miles north of the recent cordon, it has been quiet, and there is not the slightest activity of heavenly demons. This makes me embarrassed, I don't know what to do next, what advice does City Lord Xiao have?"

City Lord Xiao nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Don't hide it from Miss Jin, the patrol team sent out in recent days has sent back such news, which makes the city lord uneasy, I don't know if there is some movement on the side of the Heavenly Demon? So...... So ......" said this, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Do you want us to go to the mines, play the role of a patrol team?" Jin Ruolin asked.

"Exactly!" City Lord Xiao nodded happily, handed over a jade slip, and said: "The information about that mine is in this jade slip, can you understand, if you encounter any danger, you can also send a message through this jade slip, I will send a rescue team as soon as possible to assist you." ”

"This ...... Is it appropriate?" Jin Ruolin frowned.

"Alas...... That mine is not trivial, I want to live in Qingning City again, except for you and Xing Gongzi, who are both immortal masters in the middle stage of qi refining, there is no one in this city who can lead the team to go. If you are willing to go, I will send another 30 carefully selected body refiners to go with you, how about it?"

Jin Ruolin didn't answer, she looked at Zhang Di with her eyes, since the gambling fight with Xing Gongzi, she was impressed by Zhang Di, and now this decision naturally wants to hear Zhang Di's opinion, see what he says?

Zhang Di touched his nose, groaned, and asked, "I wonder if City Lord Xiao can tell me about the distribution of the forces of the enemy and us in the nearby thousands of miles?"

"Oh, that's easy to do!" City Lord Xiao took out the jade slip from his bosom, poured the magic trick into the wall, and immediately projected a detailed map, covering exactly a thousand miles of land centered on Qingning City, and then pointed to the map and explained: "The nearest confrontation area between the Heavenly Demon and the Human Cultivator is 800 miles away from the northeast, where there are about 30,000 Heavenly Demon Army and 50,000 Human Army......

With his introduction, Zhang Di and the others gradually understood the battlefield situation nearby, the north and east of Qingning City are the confrontation areas of the enemy's army, the nearest is 800 miles away, and the farthest is thousands of miles, and there are a number of open and dark sentinels and patrols set up in the middle, as long as the army has a big movement, more than 100 miles will definitely have an emergency military situation sent over, notify Qingning City to make preparations, so as not to let the team out of the task fall into danger.

In addition, within 500 miles to the west and south of Qingning City, there are other friendly cities as a response, and it only takes three days to reinforce them.

After understanding these clearly, Zhang Di was finally relieved, it seemed that this time the mine mission was relatively safe, but considering that there were too many people with him, I was afraid that it would not be convenient to act, so he still refused: "If it is just to find out the situation of the mine, instead of fighting with a large number of heavenly demons, I think it is just 10 of us to go." If you bring too many people and the target is too big, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble!"

"So?" City Lord Xiao hesitated, obviously afraid that the ten of them would move, what was the danger, if Xing Gongzi and Jin Ruolin had a mistake, then he couldn't afford it.

"Hmph! It's just a mine! It's enough for 10 of us! City Lord Xiao doesn't have to worry too much. Xing Gongzi waved his hand loudly, looking disdainful, but he was sneering in his heart: "Zhang Di, Zhang Di, there are still some fears that there are too many people to get rid of you, you are in such a hurry to die, how can I not satisfy you?"

Jin Ruolin wanted to speak and stopped, and finally glanced at Zhang Di, and did not say anything, but nodded.

Zhang Di's eyes flashed brightly, and he immediately said to the city lord of Xiao: "Then it's decided, the 10 of us are just going to find out the movement of the mine, if there is a crisis in the situation, we will retreat at any time, don't expect us to resist the Heavenly Demon Army." ”

"That's nature, that's nature. City Lord Xiao was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

immediately arranged it, and when everything was correct, he let Zhang Di and the others set off quietly. (To be continued......)
