Chapter 636: We Finally Meet, Many Days Later (Please Subscribe)
Wu Tao was walking on the streets of the outer city.
He had walked through this street more than once. When he lived in the inner city, he often went to the wild to hunt monsters and feed soul-eating insects, so he often walked through the streets of the outer city to leave the city.
It still feels familiar, no different from when it was under the rule of Wuquan Mountain.
The lifespan of immortal cultivators is longer than that of mortals, so things in the world of immortal cultivators seem to have remained unchanged for hundreds or thousands of years.
Wu Tao walked quickly on the street, and the people he passed by were all casual cultivators, basically those in the early stage of Qi refining, and occasionally there were some casual cultivators at the fourth level of Qi refining.
In the outer city, all the casual cultivators with low cultivation level live. Those with high cultivation level, as long as they have some spiritual stones, will go to live in the inner city.
Although the rent in the inner city is very expensive, there are more opportunities to do things. Workshops that process animal skins and other workshops are basically all in the inner city.
"This place is only two streets away from Xinde Lane. Now that I have returned to the former Wuquan Mountain Xiuxian City, I will go to Xinde Lane to have a look. Next time, I may not come back here again."
Wu Tao thought like this, quickened his pace and turned two streets before entering the street of Xinde Lane.
The streets of Xinde Lane are narrow and dark, with no sunlight coming in at all. The houses on both sides are close to each other and if you open the windows, you can shake hands with the residents next door.
Of course, it's not just Xinde Lane that has this pattern. The outside of the outer city basically has this pattern, and it's also jokingly called the Handshake Building by the casual cultivators here.
"There is a world in the outer city, and a world in the inner city." Wu Tao sighed, and then, all the golden elixir spiritual thoughts were released and spread throughout Xinde Lane.
He's trying to find someone.
This person is Zhang Li.
Although he guessed in his heart that Zhang Li might be dead, now that he was here, he would always regret not looking for her.
In the past, his cultivation level was low and it was not easy to misuse the sect's resources. Now he is already a fourth-level golden elixir cultivator. His spiritual thoughts have exceeded the limit of the golden elixir, reaching two thousand and twenty miles, and the inner city can only be guarded by foundations. , the Qi Refining Period in the outer city couldn't find him exploring Xinde Alley with his spiritual thoughts.
The houses in Xinde Lane do not have soundproof and anti-peeping arrays at all. Of course, even if the houses in Xinde Lane are equipped with soundproofing and anti-peeping arrays, they will still be able to see everything under the powerful divine will of his golden elixir.
In an instant, the entire scene of Xinde Lane, the streets, and the situation in every house were all reflected in Wu Tao's mind.
"Friend Daoist Zhang!"
The scenes reflected in his mind flashed quickly, and Wu Tao suddenly frowned. In a familiar house, he saw a familiar person. Although the person was old, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. But Wu Tao recognized him instantly.
This house was the house he lived in on Xinde Lane, and he was very familiar with it.
The situation in the house at this moment was reflected in his mind.
There were two casual cultivators, a man and a female. The male had three levels of Qi cultivation, and the female had one level of Qi. Their eyes fell on the five middle-grade spiritual stones in their palms.
"Brother Feng, put the spirit stone away first, be careful of being discovered." Zhang Rong withdrew her greedy eyes and said to Zhao Feng.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng nodded quickly and said, "Rongmei is right, it's better to be cautious."
As he spoke, Zhao Feng put the 5 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones back into the spirit stone bag and put them away solemnly.
Zhang Rong said: "Brother Feng, give me three of these five middle-grade spiritual stones when the time comes."
Hearing Zhang Rong's words, Zhao Feng's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he quickly hid it. He nodded with a smile and said, "Of course, these five pieces of middle-grade spirit stones belong to your mother-in-law. It's natural for you to take three. I’ll give you three pieces when the old woman’s body is taken care of.”
"Yeah, I knew Brother Feng was good to me." Zhang Rong showed joy on her face, and then came to Zhang Li's body.
"Brother Feng, although my mother-in-law said she was about to live for a long time, the neighbors knew that she could still live for a while. If she died when we showed up, would it arouse others' suspicion?" Zhang Rong was still a little worried.
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Don't worry, didn't you just get five pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones? Let's take some spiritual stones to help the patrol team, and we can cover up this matter. No casual cultivator dares to talk nonsense."
Hearing this, Zhang Rong felt relieved and said, "Brother Feng still has an idea."
Zhao Feng said: "But Rongmei, it may cost some spirit stones to organize the patrol team. When the time comes, I can only give you two medium-grade spirit stones. After all, you also know that the people on the patrol team have a huge appetite." , difficult to maintain, and if not managed carefully, it will lead to disaster. "
Hearing this, Zhang Rong had a look of embarrassment on her face, but soon she nodded and said: "Okay, listen to Brother Feng, I will take two middle-grade spiritual stones, and Brother Feng will deal with the rest. Be sure to take care of them." Over there with the patrol."
"Okay, let's start disposing of the body." Zhao Feng walked up with a smile.
At this moment, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a figure stepped in.
"Who is it? If you break into a private house without permission, you will be punished by the patrol team." Zhao Feng shouted immediately when he saw the person coming, and at the same time he was extremely worried.
Wu Tao ignored Zhao Feng, and with a wave of his hand, Zhao Feng turned into blood mist directly in the wind of his palm, and a spirit stone bag flew out and landed in his palm.
Seeing Zhao Feng turn into blood mist instantly, Zhang Rong screamed in shock, her legs went weak and she knelt down and said: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, Brother Feng killed the person, not me."
Wu Tao looked at Zhang Rong. Under the illumination of his spiritual thoughts, he had already heard the words of Zhao Feng and Zhang Rong. These two people worked together to kill Zhang Li for five middle-grade spiritual stones.
Wu Tao pointed his finger, and his magic power burst out. Zhang Rong was instantly annihilated by his magic power, as if she had never existed.
Then, he enveloped Zhang Li on the ground with his mind. As soon as his mind enveloped Zhang Li, he was surprised and doubtful in his heart: "There is still a breath left... But once this breath is consumed, it will be truly dead. Even the Yuanying Zhenjun will be powerless to save the world."
Thinking of this, Wu Tao's golden elixir magic power passed into Zhang Li's body and drew out her remaining breath.
"Huh!" Zhang Li's breath was drawn out. When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar face. That face was the same as when she first saw it.
Still so young, the years seemed to have left no trace on his face, but even younger.
"Friend Li, you are not much younger than me. You should be more than 80 years old. How can you get younger and younger? I guess this is hell. Friend Li should have died earlier than me, so he keeps a young appearance." Zhang Li was just a low-level casual cultivator. She didn't know about the things above the foundation building. She didn't know that the more the cultivators practiced, the younger their faces would be.
Therefore, she only felt that she was dead, so she could see Li Daoyou.
"It's a pity that the 5 middle-grade spirit stones were still taken away and can't be returned to Li Daoyou." Zhang Li said softly with sadness.
These 5 middle-grade spirit stones, but he saved them for a long time. Even when she had a hidden disease, she was unwilling to see a doctor, for fear that these 5 middle-grade spirit stones would be used up and she would not be able to save up 5 more middle-grade spirit stones.
At that time, if she had the chance to meet Li Daoyou, how could she return them?
Wu Tao looked at Zhang Li who was sad, then looked at the bag of spirit stones in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Zhang Daoyou, the five spirit stones are here."
Zhang Li heard what Wu Tao said, and hurriedly reached out to take the bag of spirit stones from Wu Tao's hand. She opened the bag and saw five medium-grade spirit stones, which were intact inside. She smiled and handed it over and said: "Li Daoyou, I owe you five medium-grade spirit stones, and I will return them to you today."
After that, the smile on her face disappeared again, and she said in a low voice: "It's a pity, Li Daoyou, you have been dead for a long time, and you can't use these five medium-grade spirit stones."
Hearing Wu Tao thought about Zhang Li's words and understood why Zhang Li said that. He shook his head and said, "Daoyou Zhang, I'm not dead, and you're not dead yet."
"Ah? I'm not dead, and Daoyou Li is not dead either..." Zhang Li was a little surprised, and then she became happy again, put the spirit stone bag in Wu Tao's hand and said, "That's great, I can return it to Daoyou Li with five medium-grade spirit stones."
Then, she looked at Wu Tao's young face again, and she felt unwilling to face Wu Tao. Although she always wanted to see Wu Tao again, at this moment, when she really saw him, she wanted to hide again.
Because, how could she be embarrassed to do that when she was old and ugly.
"Okay, Daoyou Zhang, you are really a trustworthy person. I will take these five medium-grade spirit stones." Wu Tao looked at Zhang Li and smiled.
"I'm old, Li Daoyou, it's great that you're still the same as before!"
"If I can see Li Daoyou again before I die, I'll have no regrets in my life."
"Li Daoyou..." Zhang Li kept talking in a low voice, and her voice became lower and lower, and soon there was no sound. Her eyes slowly closed, and a peaceful smile rippled on her old face.
"Zhang Daoyou, go well!" Wu Tao looked at Zhang Li, who was really dead, and sighed. Then, a fireball fell on Zhang Li's body and turned it into ashes.
Then he took out a jade box, packed it up, and put it in the storage bag.
"The person is gone, when will I become the person?" Wu Tao sighed, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow and slowly dissipated.
The next moment, he appeared in the sky above the outer city, looking in the direction of Lingxu Xianmen, thinking: "It's faster to use Xuanguang Yanyuntu to return to Lingxu Xianmen."
After the incident with Zhang Li, he missed Chen Yao more and more.
Thinking of this, Wu Tao immediately performed the Mysterious Light Smoke Escape and turned into a mysterious light and disappeared.
…
Lingxu Immortal Gate.
A stream of light fell on the weapon refining hall, revealing a slender figure.
It was Chen Yao.
Chen Yao walked quickly in the spacious aisle of the weapon refining hall. Not long after, a person walked out of the corner. Chen Yao hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Gao."
Gao Xing looked up and saw Chen Yao, and said, "It's Junior Sister Chen, you come to see the hall master again."
"Yes, I'm going to find the master. Senior Brother Gao, please forgive me for not being able to chat for more." Chen Yao nodded, then apologized and walked away quickly.
Watching Chen Yao's hurried departure, Gao Xing shook his head and said, "I guess this trip is in vain. The hall master will never agree."
Chen Yao soon came to the hall where Wen Xingrui handled affairs in the weapon refining hall. She stopped at the door of the hall, bowed and said loudly, "Master, A Yao wants to see you."
The next moment, a voice rang out in the hall. It was Wen Xingrui's voice: "Come in."
Chen Yao gently pushed open the door of the hall, walked in quickly, looked at Wen Xingrui who was handling things behind the dark table, and said, "Master, I can't wait, I want to leave the Xianyuan Realm and go find my senior brother."
Wen Xingrui put down the things in his hands, looked at Chen Yao, and said, "A Yao, I told you last time that although the Xianyuan Realm and the Demon Realm and the Xingchen Sea Xiuxian Realm have signed a peaceful coexistence agreement, the pattern has just been formed and has not yet been completely stabilized. If you go to the Xingchen Sea Xiuxian Realm, what if something happens, how should I explain to my apprentice?"
"Master, this boundary wall passage has been opened for so long. If my senior brother entered the Xingchen Sea Cultivation World through the boundary-breaking magic array, he must know that he has not come yet..." Chen Yao's face showed anxiety.
Although she always believed that her senior brother was still alive, she was always worried after the boundary wall passage connecting the Xianyuan World to the Demon World was opened.
Wen Xingrui said: "Wait a few more days, maybe he is on his way to meet you now. If you go to the Xingchen Sea Cultivation World, wouldn't you miss him..."
"Master..." Although Chen Yao felt that what Wen Xingrui said made sense, she still couldn't help it. She really wanted to see her senior brother as soon as possible.
Wen Xingrui waved his hand and said, "That's it. I'll let the first batch of Lingxu Xianmen disciples who entered the Xingchen Sea Xiuxian World go to inquire about his news."
"Wait a few days, I will also go to the Xingchen Sea Xiuxian World, and you will go with me then."
Hearing what Master Wen Xingrui said, Chen Yao had no choice but to nod and say, "Then I will wait a few more days. Master, you are busy first. I will go back to my cave to practice."
Then, Chen Yao left the weapon refining hall and returned to his cave.
...
Lingxu Xianmen, in front of the sect protection formation.
Wu Tao was suspended in the air, looking at the sect protection formation, and found that this sect protection formation was not the previous formation, but had been upgraded.
Therefore, his previous token was probably not allowed to enter.
So Wu Tao decided to enter in the form of a visit. Just when his magic power was about to contact the sect protection formation, the sect protection formation suddenly opened a door, and several figures flew out from it.
All the cultivators who came out were at the foundation-building stage. When they saw that there were cultivators in front of the mountain gate, and that they were not wearing the uniforms and robes of the Lingxu Immortal Sect, and that their cultivation levels were undetectable, they immediately showed a look of vigilance on their faces.
"This senior..."
"Senior Han, it's you, it's really you..." A foundation-building cultivator from the Lingxu Immortal Sect was about to bow and ask about Wu Tao's identity, but another foundation-building cultivator was overjoyed, stepped out of the crowd, and came to Wu Tao.
Wu Tao looked at this person, and a series of faces flashed through his mind. He quickly locked onto one and smiled, "It turned out to be Gu Xi. Not bad, you have established your foundation."
"Senior Han, where have you been these years? Aunt Chen misses you every day." Gu Xi said, "Senior Han, if Aunt Chen knew you were back, she would be very happy. I will send a message to Aunt Chen now."
Wu Tao quickly stopped Gu Xi from sending a message and said, "No need to send a message. I plan to give Aunt Chen a surprise."
"That's great, Senior Han. I'm going to go out of the sect to perform a mission. I'll come to visit you after I finish the mission." Gu Xi bowed and said.
Wu Tao nodded and said, "Go ahead."
After speaking, Wu Tao flashed into the sect protection formation.
After entering, a familiar feeling rose from Wu Tao's heart.
As soon as he moved, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards his cave.
"I haven't been back for more than 30 years. I wonder if A Yao has changed her cave?" Thinking this in his heart, Wu Tao soon came to his previous cave in Lingxu, and then found that he had thought too much. The cave had not changed, not even the cave formation. He took out the token and felt the cave formation.
Standing outside the cave formation, Wu Tao's emotions became more and more excited and more sober, because he was finally going to see A Yao, whom he had been thinking about.
Using the token to open the cave formation, Wu Tao flashed into the cave.
"Chee!"
As soon as he entered the cave, a cry sounded in the sky, and a golden figure shot over, exuding the breath of a second-level intermediate monster, as if to drive away the enemy who broke into the cave.
But halfway through the flight, he felt the familiar breath, and the monster breath on his body suddenly converged, and he stood steadily on the arms of the familiar person.
Looking at the golden-winged eagle in his hand, Wu Tao smiled, took out the foundation-building pill from the storage bag, and fed it to the golden-winged eagle.
"Yes, it has been promoted to the second-level intermediate monster, which is equivalent to the fifth level of foundation-building." Wu Tao said.
"Brother..."
At this moment, a surprised voice sounded, it was Chen Yao, she was practicing in the practice room in the cave, and she felt that there was something wrong with the cave formation, and then she heard the call of the golden-winged eagle, and hurried out, and saw that familiar voice, feeding the golden-winged eagle.
Tears blurred Chen Yao's eyes in an instant, she completely forgot her cultivation as a foundation-building cultivator, and ran towards her brother who was thinking about her.
Seeing Chen Yao running towards him, Wu Tao swung his arm and threw the golden-winged eagle in his hand, but forgot that he was a golden elixir cultivator, and the golden-winged eagle directly hit the cave formation, and was dizzy. But how could Wu Tao care about the golden-winged eagle at this time? He opened his arms and hugged Chen Yao tightly.
"Ayao, I'm back!" Wu Tao said, stroking Chen Yao's milk bag with one hand.
"Brother, you are finally back... I finally waited for you to come back..."
"Brother, don't leave Ayao anymore..." Chen Yao said with sobs, hugging Wu Tao tightly, fearing that Wu Tao would disappear again.
"Okay, I promise Ayao, I will never leave Ayao again." Wu Tao said.
The two hugged each other for a long time. When Chen Yao's mood calmed down, Wu Tao looked around, released his mind to cover the cave, and found that the cave had not changed, and it was still the same. He knew that this was Ayao's intention.
"Ayao, let's go back to the cave to talk." Wu Tao said.
"Okay, brother, you must have suffered a lot outside these years..." Chen Yao said this, hugging Wu Tao's arm.
After returning to the cave, the two had not seen each other for more than 30 years. How could words relieve their longing for each other?
Many days later.
The two finally relieved their longing for each other, sat opposite each other, and told each other about their experiences over the years.
