Chapter 70: The Puppet Ship
"Huh. After a while, Lu Xu muttered to himself at the starry sky, "Unexpectedly, it takes no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, and there is a nine-leaf vermilion grass in Dahuan Mountain." ”
It turned out that what Zhou Ping told Lu Xu in the end in order to save his life was the secret that there was a nine-leaf Zhuyang grass in Dahuan Mountain, and Wu Feng was willing to help Zhou Ping because Zhou Ping contributed a nine-leaf Zhuyang grass to him, but unfortunately this elixir was only more than a hundred years old, so it was of little use to Lu Xu.
And the nine-leaf vermilion grass is one of the main medicines necessary for refining Zhuji Dan.
"By the way, the old guy hasn't looked at the bag yet. With some free time, Lu Xu took out the storage bag that originally belonged to Wu Feng.
Wu Feng is only a monk of the seventh layer of the Qi refining period, and his wealth is not very much, and there are only more than thirty low-level spirit stones, but there are a lot of gold, more than 600,000 taels, but there are many strange things in it, there are a few unknown black stones, a jade slip, a book of five elements basic exercises, and a few talismans. There are also two magic weapons - a short knife and a long black rope.
The short knife was just a medium-grade magic weapon, and Lu Xu was not interested, but the black long rope was quite interesting.
Lu Xu injected mana into the long rope, only to see a flash of black light, the long rope could change the length at will, and with a wave of his hand, it was wrapped around a big tree next to it like lightning.
Lu Xu's heart moved, only to hear a tearing sound, and when he was erected, he was strangled from the middle by the long rope.
"It's similar to the chain scythe in your storage bag, and it's a good thing to trap enemies. Retracting the long rope, Lu Xu nodded.
As for those black stones, Lu Xu couldn't figure out a clue after studying them for a long time. And the bright white jade slip, after Lu Xu looked at it with his soul power, he found that what was recorded in it was a secret technique of sacrificing and refining magic weapons, which was of some use to Lu Xu.
Three days later, Lu Xu came to the Canglang River again, but this time in a port city on the Canglang River.
On the bank of the Canglang River is a prosperous port city of Wuling City, with a permanent population of more than one million, but there are more floating populations, not to mention the huge ships that come and go docked in the port, constantly transporting goods to the shore.
"Shaoxia, the Breaking Wave is about to depart, you go up and wait first. ”
On the shore, someone came to report.
Lu Xu nodded, "Okay!"
The so-called Breaking Waves is a huge sailing ship, more than 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, and the whole body is made of solid wood, and Lu Xu always feels that this ship is a little strange, and there are bursts of spiritual power fluctuations on it, but he can't find the source.
This ship is owned by the eight-nation business alliance across several surrounding countries, specializing in long-distance cargo transportation, which is one of the few means of transportation on the Canglang River.
There are not many people on the ship, about thirty or forty people, a small half of them are rich people with thousands of wealth, and two-thirds are martial arts people, to Lu Xu's surprise, there are many immortal cultivators among them, and the spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies are extremely strong, and they are all monks in the late stage of the Qi refining period, and one of them has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Period.
"I wiped it, I used to see an immortal cultivator as if I saw an extinct rare animal, how come I would meet one or two from time to time when I came out this time. ”
One of the big men who looked like a martial arts person with a red face saw Lu Xu coming up, and said with a smile: "Little brother, come up quickly, wait for the boat to start, you have to pay 300,000 taels of silver for one time on this boat, and if you miss it, it will be wasted." ”
However, when those few immortal cultivators saw another monk coming up, they all looked Lu Xu up and down.
Lu Xu smiled faintly and said nothing.
"Alright, guys, the Wave Breaker is about to depart, so pay the remaining half of the fare. The cabin door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in with two of his men.
"Hehe, this boat is so fucking expensive. ”
"That's right, the Eight-Nation Business Alliance is too good at making money. ”
After everyone has paid the fare.
Gala la la!
There was a sound from below deck that the ship was about to start.
The speed of the Breaking Wave is very fast, the speed is incredible, just one day and one night, it is far away from Wuling City, appearing thousands of miles away, this speed, faster than the mechanical ship.
"Impossible, how could there be such a fast ship. Standing beside the boat, Lu Xu couldn't help muttering when he saw that the boat was so fast.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, this is not surprising, because this ship is actually a puppet. Next to him, a twenty-three or four-year-old monk said with a smile when he heard Lu Xu's words.
Lu Xu looked puzzled and asked, "Puppet, how is it possible, how can there be such an immortal cultivator in the world." "Speaking of which, Lu Xu has seen a lot of puppet magic in Zixiao Sect, but he didn't expect a secular business alliance to have such a strange thing.
"This is not surprising, because behind the Eight Nations Business Alliance is a big sect in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and this puppet ship cannot fly, and it has no other role except for transporting some goods, so it is handed over to the Shang Alliance for use. The young monk explained with a smile.
Lu Xu was surprised, "Oh, no wonder!" If that's the case, it makes sense, no wonder I always felt that this ship was a little weird.
The young monk smiled, "In Xia Yang Domain, I am a disciple of the Yunluo Sect, and I am going to Chiba City this time, I don't know what to call my friend." ”
"Hehe, in the next, Lu Xu, a disciple of Zixiao Sect, the destination is also Chiba City. Hearing this, Lu Xu also hugged his fists
The age difference between the two is not much, and their cultivation is about the same, and they have exchanged some cultivation experiences back and forth, and they have become familiar with each other very quickly.
A month later, the port of Chiba Castle.
The wharf is full of people, and there are all kinds of ships docked on the riverside, including cargo ships, passenger ships, and even war ships, the number of which is no less than a hundred, densely packed.
"Everyone, this is Chiba Castle, if you have come to this castle, you can get off here!" The Sea Beast docked at the dock, and the middle-aged man stood on the deck to greet everyone.
"Brother Lu, it's here, let's go. After two months, Lu Xu and Yang Fan were quite close to each other, and as soon as the ship arrived, Yang Fan beckoned them to go down together.
Lu Xu also happened to ask someone who was familiar with this place to inquire about the situation, so he smiled: "Okay." ”
Chiba City is one of the largest cities in Zhao Kingdom, especially a port city with a large floating population, so the city is quite huge.
As soon as you enter the city.
Yang Fan laughed and said, "By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is the important matter for Brother Lu to come to this Chiba City." ”
"Oh, no, just come out to experience and see if there are any opportunities, Brother Yang. ”
"I'm here for the party, or you will come too! How can you say that you are also a disciple of the Zixiao Sect, and you are qualified to participate in this gathering. Yang Fan nodded, this situation like Lu Xu is actually very common in the sect, and generally in the late stage of the Qi refining period, the sect will let the disciples go out to experience and prepare for foundation building.
When Lu Xu heard this, he was puzzled, "What kind of party?"
"Oh, they are all young sects or family members from several surrounding countries, everyone gets together to exchange cultivation experiences, this is a very common thing, I have participated in it a few times, and I still have some gains. Yang Fan explained.
"I still won't go, and people haven't invited me, it's not appropriate. Lu Xu groaned.
"If there's anything inappropriate, there are usually people who come uninvited, and even casual meditation occasionally participates, and this time there must be. Yang Fan looked very enthusiastic, and grabbed Lu Xu's shoulders and was about to pull him away.
In desperation, Lu Xu had no choice but to agree.
After a while, the two came to the outside of a splendid manor.
Yang Fan said: "Let's go in, the meeting place is in the main courtyard of the manor." ”
Entering the manor, the two crossed the lobby and came to the large luxurious courtyard behind the lobby, where the meeting place was in the largest of them.
"Two immortal masters, please come in. ”
Outside the courtyard, a waiter was waiting.
Yang Fan nodded and walked in directly with Lu Xu.
This large piece of luxury courtyard should be used by the host to entertain four VIPs, each courtyard covers a wide area, the internal scene is unique, rockeries and green waters, pavilions and pavilions, there is no shortage.
Coming to the back garden, Lu Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and there were only a dozen young people, both men and women. It is no surprise that these dozen or so people are all late Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and among them, there are two Qi Refining Stage Tenth Layer Great Perfection Cultivators, and strong spiritual power fluctuations fill all corners.
"Haha, Yang Daoyou, you're here too. ”
A handsome young man among the monks who was talking and laughing noticed Yang Fan, stood up and smiled.
"Hehe, it looks like I'm late. Yang Fan clenched his fists and whispered to Lu Xu: "This person is the person who organized this gathering, his name is Zheng Jieying, the cultivation of the tenth layer of the Qi refining period, and his strength is very strong. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xu glanced at the other party, this Zheng Jieying has a handsome face, a graceful demeanor, his eyes are not that unbeatable, and his eyes are peaceful and make people feel like a spring breeze, but Lu Xu does not dare to underestimate the other party, a tenth-layer monk in his early twenties in the Qi refining period, and he also knows that the spiritual root must be extraordinary.
"I said who it was, it turned out to be Yang Fan. ”
"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be Yang Fan, I haven't seen him for a long time, and my strength should have improved, but if I don't have any means, don't come to offer ugliness this time. A young man with an arrogant face next to Zheng Jieying didn't get up, glanced at Yang Fan and said.
Seeing the young man's face, Lu Xu couldn't help but move in his heart, and recognized the other party, this person Hao Ran was the companion of the middle-aged monk who was fighting with Lu Xu for the fragments in the shop in Wulongfang City.
Yang Fan's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still held back his temper and said lightly: "So-so, how can you compare to you Li Ya." ”
"Hmph, who is next to you, how come I've never seen it, you won't use this place as a vegetable market, anyone can come in. Li Ya was even more unruly when he heard this, and glanced at Lu Xudao next to Yang Fan.
Yang Fan laughed angrily and said with a smile, "I brought him here, he is naturally qualified." ”
Hearing Yang Fan's words, everyone immediately looked Lu Xu up and down.
Facing everyone's eyes, Lu Xu's face did not change, he found a place to sit down, and his own beautiful maid came over to pour tea or wine.
