Chapter 234: Thank you in the street
After receiving the invitation of the city lord, before confirming the true purpose, Chen Cheng was a little apprehensive in his heart, Jin Dan Zhenren, and invited a nobody as the honorable identity of the city lord, what was the other party interested in?
Chen Cheng had a lot of assumptions in his heart, it was still because of the matter of Luoshen Mountain, before he arrived, there was still a place of death that no one dared to go to, and the danger index was not much worse than the two major Jedi.
The time when Chen Cheng went to Luoshen Mountain was highly consistent with the time that changed later, as long as he was interested, he would definitely think of something, and it was not clear what the city lord would think of it.
Jiaqing Zhenren sent someone to understand Chen Cheng because of the relationship between his granddaughter and Lin Wanru, when Chen Cheng was still in Tianji City, the other party had already done a detailed investigation on him, and the reason why he went to Luoshen Mountain and did not follow him was because it was too dangerous, and now I want to see him for this matter.
After seeing Jiaqing Zhenren with his own eyes, the conversation between the two was simple and direct, and it didn't even take a quarter of an hour for Chen Cheng to come out of it, and then left the City Lord's Mansion and returned to the inn alone, and asked Lin Wanru to stay where he was for the time being, waiting for his notice at any time.
"What a sharp look! If it weren't for the hundreds of years of perception in the cultivation space, in the face of today's interrogation, I'm afraid the secret in my heart would have already been revealed!" Chen Cheng thought as he sat on the beast cart that sent him back.
Jin Dan Zhenren is too terrifying, besides, the other party is still a strong man who is good at deducing divination, Chen Cheng is sure that as long as he is caught by Jiaqing Zhenren for a little omission, he will know his lie.
In the conversation just now, when the city lord asked him what the accident of Luoshen Mountain had to do with him, Chen Cheng told the story that he had made up a long time ago. He thought about this problem when he left Luoshen Mountain, and it could be regarded as a precaution, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Chen Cheng needs to explain nothing more than a few aspects. What did you do when you went to Mt. Rakujin?And where did you go afterward?
The reason for going to Luoshen Mountain is easy to explain, he wants to go to the Central Plains but can't afford the expenses of the two of them, if he can find a shortcut, it is not impossible for Lin Wanru to fly him over, it's just a little hard, of course he won't say, "Actually, I already knew that it had something to do with the ancient gods." ”
Chen Cheng said that he didn't do anything after entering the mountain, and was caught in a miniature enchantment. Trapped alone, there is water and wild fruits, as well as things that he carries with him to satisfy his hunger. Only then did he survive with difficulty, and successfully built the foundation in the small enchantment, and then he was thrown out inexplicably, so that the other party didn't believe it. It's not something he's thinking about.
This reason is not Chen Cheng's previous wording. He didn't expect Jiaqing Zhenren to have such powerful eyes, and he instinctively felt that if he said it according to the reason in advance, it was likely that the other party would be angry with him because of this, so he temporarily changed his mind.
Whether the cultivation space is a magic weapon or an enchantment, Chen Cheng can't be sure, but he is indeed an independent space, and it is not an exaggeration for Chen Cheng to say that it is a miniature enchantment, and of course he does not dare to say about the speed of time. That explanation would lead to more problems, and Chen Cheng couldn't make trouble for himself.
I dare not say anything about the real foundation building process. When he was at the inn, Lin Wanru had already told him what had happened in the past two days, including the topic that many monks had witnessed someone breaking through the golden pill in Luoshen Mountain, and the time was just the time to build his own foundation, so he didn't have to think about Chen Cheng to know what was going on.
At that time, the movement on the top of the mountain was so loud that it was reasonable to be suspected of breaking through the Jindan, so the process of building the foundation by himself was extinct and not known to outsiders.
Chen Cheng's statement is very far-fetched, but there is also a possibility, no one can refute it without evidence, anyway, he is a party, no matter how many doubts Jiaqing Zhenren has in his heart, he can't raise any objections.
Before Chen Cheng left, Jiaqing Zhenren also mentioned Duanmu Ci, this is not the person who wanted to intercept himself in the Valley of Death, and later took him through, Chen Cheng thought suspiciously after hearing the human life.
didn't let Chen Cheng hesitate for too long, and before he could ask Jiaqing Zhenren took the initiative to tell the relationship between Duanmu Ci and his father-son, his father was the lord of a city admired by thousands of people, but his son hid in the Valley of Death, which was too hard to believe!
With the status of Jiaqing Zhenren, even if his son makes a mistake, he will not be forced to a dead end, there must be another adultery in this, Chen Cheng will not believe it at all, but the other party quickly dispelled his doubts, and after a brief statement, Chen Cheng knew that it was the father and son who turned against each other, but the reason was not revealed.
The city lord revealed that ** was beyond Chen Chengyi's expectations, and after listening to it, he also took the opportunity to tell the process of meeting Duanmu Ci, which was nothing to hide, and Chen Cheng always paid attention to the changes in Jiaqing Zhenren's face during the process, but unfortunately did not see the slightest clue from it.
Jiaqing Zhenren originally had something to ask Chen Cheng, but for some reason, after he received a summons on the way, he hurriedly ended the conversation, and flew out of the City Lord's Mansion directly before Chen Cheng left, it seemed that something terrible had happened, but unfortunately the others didn't know.
Back at the inn, Chen Cheng sat at the small table in a daze, carefully recalling the scene of the meeting in the City Lord's Mansion, analyzing every word of his own words, and confirming that he did not leak any valuable information, then he left the inn with confidence, and he planned to go to Fang City again.
Before going to Luoshen Mountain, Chen Cheng entrusted Lou Lanting to inquire about the news of the best spirit stone, and in the past two years, he didn't know if there was any result, and he was hoping that the other party could give him a surprise.
When Chen Cheng was in the City Lord's Mansion, he also had the idea of asking Jiaqing Zhenren for the news, but then he couldn't help but say nothing, and asked about the news of the best spirit stone, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the other party.
A person who has just built a foundation needs the best spirit stone to do, this is what he needs, so it is better to go through the shop, he needs not only the best spirit stone, but also let the other party pay attention to the middle grade or top grade spirit stone.
Before the foundation was built, the ordinary spirit stones had little effect on Chen Cheng, and after the foundation was built, it was even more impossible for him to use the lower grade spirit stones to cultivate, the efficiency was too low, and the goal this time was not too high, just want to exchange for a certain number of medium or high grade spirit stones.
As for the top-grade spirit stones needed for the teleportation array, even if Chen Cheng found a clue, he couldn't afford to exchange them for a while, 18 top-grade spirit stones, according to the exchange rules of spirit stones, were equivalent to 18 million lower-grade spirit stones, and they still had no price.
Chen Cheng ransacked the three brothers of the He family, and only got a million spirit stones, not even a tenth of which was enough, which shows how high the cost should be.
According to Earth Time, it has been three years since he left home, Chen Cheng is afraid of something, and he thinks about his family and friends all the time, but the cost of going back is indeed too high, and he feels a lot of pain when he thinks of this problem.
Fang City, when Chen Cheng saw Lou Lanting again, the other party was busy greeting guests, and he didn't rush in to disturb him, he wanted to go around elsewhere first, and it was not too late to come later.
The scale of today's Fang Market is more than twice as large as when Chen Cheng left Tianji City, and new shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which is the result of the suppression of Luoshen Mountain.
Between Ximeilong and the Central Plains, the cost of flying boats is quite low, and the reason why the high fees are charged is because the number of large flying boats is scarce, and the City Lord's Mansion wants to make a profit from this, but because of this reason, the development of Tianji City is restricted.
After the Luoshen Mountain was unblocked, the foundation building monks only needed to spend a little more time and could travel back and forth between the two places without taking too much risk, which not only promoted the circulation of cultivation materials, but also attracted a large number of monks who came to Tianji City to practice, and the benefits brought can be imagined.
The Sixteen Cities of the Central Plains are not without danger, but over the years, every place has been searched by monks countless times, and it is difficult to obtain material gains every time they venture.
"Why is the pill here so expensive, you can buy five copies at this price in the Central Plains!" Chen Cheng overheard the dissatisfied questioning of a guest from a shop, looked up, and vaguely remembered that it was the earliest store specializing in pills in Fang City.
Chen Cheng was short of money at the beginning, and before leaving Tianji City, he also sold a batch of pills, only selling 800 spirit stones, the price of the pills was not expensive, of course, it was the price he was in a hurry to sell to the shops, and they were all ordinary pills in the Qi refining period, if it weren't for Lou Lanting, it was estimated that they wouldn't be able to sell so much.
At noon, I also heard Lin Wanru say that the price of pills in Fang City has dropped a lot, why are there customers complaining in a blink of an eye, with a skeptical attitude, Chen Cheng's eyes fell on the two people who were negotiating in the store.
The man is still an old man from before, Chen Cheng still has an impression of him, he is less than twenty years old, and now he is an eighth-level Qi refining cultivator, which is one level higher than when Chen Cheng left, and when he saw this guest, he slammed it suddenly.
"How could it be him!I didn't expect to come here too!It's better to flash people early!" Chen Cheng never expected to be so close to Xiao Lang, he was worried that the other party would recognize him, so he wanted to leave Fang City quickly, and he didn't know about this person, what if he had been to the scene of the fight?
Chen Cheng didn't enter the store, he just showed a little panic in his heart on the street, and his gaze staring at Xiao Lang was also a step too late, but he was still discovered by the other party.
Xiao Lang is a person with clear grievances, it was Chen Cheng's appearance that got him out of trouble, and he was definitely his own life-saver, although He Quan and the three of them died unexplained when they chased Chen Cheng, but he couldn't be sure whether Chen Cheng was safe or not, and he was always uncertain.
The master of the Great Perfection of the Foundation is only one step away from stepping into the Golden Pill, and Mingrui's insight can easily find that someone is spying on him, but when he turns around, he sees the life-saving benefactor, Xiao Lang drops the pill and rushes out.
"This brother, please accept Xiao Lang's bow and thank you for saving your life that day! If you don't dislike it, can you let you do the east in Xia and taste the delicious spirit wine of Xia Tianji City together. (To be continued......)
