Chapter 566: Money Can Make You a God
"The Zhoutian Star Formation, conservatively estimated, has 360 large formation bases. Among them, there are 108 large formation bases in Tiandu City alone, and there are another 108 large formation bases in the Three Realms. Seven The county will divide the remaining 108 large formation bases equally!"
"Large formation base? Is it possible that there are also small formation bases?"
"Of course! Three hundred and sixty large formation bases and 129,600 small formation bases constitute the Zhoutian Star Formation that covers Zhongzhou!"
"Is it worth it just to monitor us foreign monks?"
"Spying on you? Humph!" Stopping what he was doing, Zhen Lingzi looked up at Xiao Mian and said with a mocking smile: "You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
"What do you mean, fellow Taoist: The Zhoutian Xingxiu Formation is not only used to monitor foreign monks, but even local monks like fellow Taoist in Zhongzhou are also being monitored?"
"Hmph! You can go and do it yourself!"
Clapping his hands, Jin Lingzi signaled that he was done.
Afterwards, under the auspices of Zhen Lingzi, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai entered a temporary magic circle carved by Zhen Lingzi.
After the magic circle was activated, a starlight shot out from it, pointing straight into the sky. However, before this starlight could fly out of the small courtyard, it was suddenly swallowed up by the void and disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a starlight was projected from the sky and poured into the small courtyard, shining on Xiao Mian and Gui Hai one after another.
At this point, Zhen Lingzi quickly destroyed the formation patterns he had worked so hard to carve before.
"Finished?"
"It's over!"
"It seems...I feel nothing!"
"Don't worry! I have already transmitted the information about you two to the formation base of the Zhoutian Xingxiu Formation at Yangguan. However, you'd better not go out for the time being. Wait until dawn tomorrow before leaving through the secret passage. By then, there will be no People can see through your base!" As he spoke, Zhen Lingzi took out two blank jade slips, poured some true energy into them, and then threw them to the two of them, explaining: "Zhongzhou monks, as long as they successfully build the foundation, , everyone will have an identity nameplate, this is your nameplate!”
"In other words, we are also 'Zhongzhou people' now? Then the so-called decree that Zhongzhou monks only have to pay 100,000 souls to kill foreign monks is invalid, right? If we kill Zhongzhou monks in legitimate defense, nothing will happen. Bar?"
"That's right! But I want to warn you: don't cause trouble!"
"That's natural! Next, I will bother fellow Taoist fellows all night long!"
After that, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai took a break at Zhen Lingzi's place.
Guihai was indeed resting, but Xiao Mian had no intention of resting at all.
Previously in the shop in the front hall, Xiao Mian seemed to be careless, but in fact he secretly channeled the spiritual energy from the three highest-priced sixth-order array plates into the black cloth.
Of course, this time Xiao Mian was very measured and did not devour Heibu like he did in Zhenzong Hall, but instead took the approach of cannibalizing.
Even so, the psychic energy gained by Heibu was quite huge.
It should be noted that although only three formation disks were absorbed this time, these three were all excellent sixth-level formation disks. How could they be the same as those low-level ones in the formation sect hall that day?
As for Heibu, with the supplement of spiritual energy from the three formation disks, he was in a rare state of high spirits.
Just when Xiao Mian was thinking about whether to use the black cloth to synthesize some man-made treasures of heaven and earth in order to enrich his storage bag that could not withstand the ravage, the black cloth started to operate on its own, and after a moment, he spit out a piece of Strange crystals.
The crystal was no bigger than the belly of your thumb and looked round in shape, but upon closer inspection, Xiao Mian discovered that there were tiny facets on this tiny crystal.
Taking a closer look, there are a total of forty-five facets.
The whole crystal was crystal clear, as if it were nothing. Looking deeply, Xiao Mian had the illusion that his whole body was being sucked into it. At that moment, there were countless patterns and shapes, big or small, square or round. Spread out and keep spinning.
With a sudden jolt, Xiao Mian came back to his senses.
"Xiao Bu! You...you want me to give this thing to that boy with double eyes?"
"..."
"Why? This thing can't be some kind of treasure, right? Let's make a deal first! Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders! If it's really a good thing, you have to keep it for me!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Okay! Okay! I lost to you! Can't I just go and give it to him right now?" Putting the crystal in his arms, Xiao Mian stood up and planned to walk out. When he came to the door, he suddenly stopped. He looked around and asked again: "What's so good about that boy with double pupils? I think he has a sly look and is blind to money, so I'm sure he's not a good thing!"
When Xiao Mian said this, he completely forgot what kind of virtue he was...
Finally, in desperation, Xiao Mian found a way to give the strange crystal to the boy with double pupils according to Heibu's strange instructions, but he only said that it was a worthless gadget and nothing else. Say more.
But through this, Xiao Mian learned the name of that boy - Qian Weiyan!
This kid turns out to be Qian, no wonder he is so jealous of money...
After that, they waited until the early morning of the next day. Xiao Mian and Gui Hai passed through a secret tunnel in the back hall of the shop and said goodbye to Zhen Lingzi. Of course, before that, as agreed, Xiao Mian paid Zhen Lingzi a total of 200,000 yuan. Huge intermediary fees for mid-grade spiritual stones!
In one night, the two of them transformed from their identities as foreign monks to become famous local monks in Zhongzhou on the Zhoutian Star Formation. In the same night, the entire Yangguan city was filled with uproar due to the appearance of two foreign monks!
Therefore, when Xiao Mian and Gui Hai walked on the street the next day, they felt that the atmosphere in Yangguan was tense, as if people on the street were looking for something.
What made the two of them feel relieved was that the local monks in Zhongzhou did not feel the aura of foreign monks on them anymore. Obviously, although Zhen Lingzi charged a high fee, after a spell, they did get rid of the rejection of the Zhoutian Xingxiu formation.
After entering and leaving a spiritual clothing store, the two of them changed their clothes.
However, Xiao Mian, after being stimulated by Zhen Lingzi and Qian Weiyan, suddenly understood a truth: his previous attempt to hoard spiritual stones in Nanyuezhou and Xishuzhou in preparation for squandering in Zhongzhou was simply unrealistic, and even put the cart before the horse!
Thinking back to the 100,000 spiritual stones that Xiao Mian had saved with great difficulty in Nanyuezhou, brought to Zhongzhou, the value of which shrank significantly!
Instead of this, it is better to enjoy life in time and spend money as soon as possible!
With this idea in mind, Xiao Mian bought himself a lot of things. As time went by, he saw the spirit stones flowing out like water!
In return, there were a bunch of things that Xiao Mian thought would be useful in the future.
Among them was a spirit beast ring, which was of high grade, but it was specially prepared for Qing Jing.
There was also a thing called Beidou Si Nan Pan!
This thing was neither an offensive weapon nor a defensive treasure, but a rare auxiliary magic weapon among magic weapons. Ordinary auxiliary tools were generally at the level of magic tools. After all, to make magic weapons, even if they were auxiliary magic weapons with little offensive and defensive capabilities, the materials must reach the level that can be cast into magic weapons before they can be refined. However, the functions of some auxiliary tools were very useless, and it was not worth the loss to make them into magic weapons.
That is, Xiao Mian, who suddenly got enlightened, was worried about having no place to spend the spirit stones properly, so he spent 150,000 middle spirits to buy this Beidou Si Nan Pan.
The effect of this thing is similar to the compass that the old ghost had at the beginning, but the Beidou Si Nan Pan can divide seven stars, so that the cultivators carrying these stars can form a connection with the cultivators carrying the Si Nan Pan. According to the monk who sells the Beidou Si Nan Pan, because it is an auxiliary device at the level of a magic weapon, the Beidou Si Nan Pan can form a seamless connection between eight cultivators within a range of tens of millions of miles.
Tens of millions of miles, this is what Xiao Mian values.
In fact, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai had discussed it long before entering Yangguan. As long as they saw the style of Xianyang City, the capital of Qin County, the two decided that Xiao Mian would go south and Gui Hai would go north, and they would split up and go hand in hand to find Tuoba Lan's whereabouts.
In this way, a long-distance communication tool like the Mani Pearl is needed.
After getting the Beidou Si Nan Pan, Xiao Mian finally ended the day's bloody shopping.
That night, the two checked into a fairly high-end practice inn in Yangguan.
It is said that this is the property of the Ji family, one of the four major families in Qin County.
In the dead of night, a thunder suddenly erupted in the practice inn. Before the nearby monks could react, the thunder had dissipated, and there was no movement after that. However, the many monks living in the entire practice inn were completely alarmed.
Overnight, many monks who originally lived in the practice inn were driven out. Of course, the Ji family said that because the spirit gathering array engraved in the practice inn had some accidents and could not operate normally, they "asked" everyone to leave.
As compensation, all the expenses of everyone in the practice inn were written off!
For a time, some people were happy, some were confused, some were clamoring, and some were thinking.
Since then, the Ji family's practice inn has been closed for a while!
Ten days later, it was reopened, but because of the Ji family's previous self-destructive rhetoric, not many people came to settle in the practice inn when it just opened. In desperation, the Ji family had to announce again that the room fee for the monks who settled in was halved after the reopening.
A person with good intentions made a rough calculation. The room rate was reduced or exempted last time, the business was closed for ten days, and the room rate was halved after reopening. In less than half a month, the Ji family's training inn not only did not receive a single spiritual stone, but also lost hundreds of thousands of middle spiritual stones!
When Wang Ping got the news, he laughed three times, and then his face became gloomy.
When Wang Ping instructed Xiao Mian to find Zhen Lingzi last time, he made a request, that is, Xiao Mian and the others should find an excuse to cause trouble for the Ji family's training inn.
According to Wang Ping, the cultivator sent by the Ji family to Yangguan this time was Ji Wuming, who usually did not get along with Wang Ping. Since Wang Ping suffered a loss at the hands of Gui Hai, others would be fine, but he, Ji Wuming, would not have an easy life either, and he must sacrifice his life to accompany Wang Ping.
Xiao Mian did not comment on Wang Ping's request.
If it was the other two great families or the Zhishan Sect and the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, Xiao Mian would still have some concerns, but if it was the Ji family, Xiao Mian really had no psychological barriers - he even killed Ji Wuchang with a knife, so why would he be afraid of offending Ji Wuming?
Besides, Xiao Mian naturally had a way to make Ji Wuming blame all this on Wang Ping. Anyway, the two of them went to Ji Wuming because Wang Ping instigated them.
The reason why Wang Ping laughed was naturally because of Ji Wuming's misfortune; the reason why he looked gloomy was because he underestimated the strength of the two people!
As for Xiao Mian and Gui Hai, they quietly left Yangguan the day after the turmoil in the Ji family's training inn, and went straight to the capital of Qin County - Xianyang City!
