Chapter 568: Acting Separately
The dragon blood stone contains a trace of true dragon's blood and is a treasure for body refiners.
It should be noted that dragon monsters are the most powerful existences among all monsters in the world of cultivation. They are born with dual cultivation of law and body, and can even be said to be fellow practitioners of the third lineage. The powerful physical bodies of dragon monsters are not suitable even for body refiners. Dare to be an enemy easily, as for dragon scales, dragon horns, dragon teeth, dragon claws and even dragon tendons and dragon blood, they are all top-notch spiritual materials in the cultivation world.
Unexpectedly, most of the true dragon's blood in the dragon's blood stone was stolen by the nine-curved flat peach tree and used to cultivate the half-ripe dragon's blood flat peach.
The dragon blood stone that Xiao Mian got was actually a defective product that had been mostly consumed. Xiao Mian once calculated that the trace of true dragon blood in the dragon blood stone was not enough for him to complete one round of the "Ten Thousand Poison Curse" training. ——Although the grade is high, the quantity is insufficient, which is a pity!
Unless there is a God-given opportunity like the collection of soul-devouring rot poison, the blood of a true dragon is not as good as the soul-devouring rot poison. Each true dragon's blood can be called true dragon's blood, but there are differences between them. Subtle difference, in other words, it is impossible for Xiao Mian to find the same bloodline as the true dragon's blood in the dragon blood stone!
It is tasteless to eat, it is a pity to throw it away, it is useless!
Unexpectedly, now, the chicken ribs can actually shine, and looking at this posture, it can be reused, which is beyond Xiao Mian's expectation.
However, Guihai's absorption of the dragon's blood stone did not happen overnight. Along the way, the two of them walked day and night, and Guihai continuously extracted the dragon's blood from the dragon's blood stone.
After more than a month, Guihai finally completed the extraction of the true dragon's blood without destroying the dragon's blood stone, and returned the seemingly intact dragon's blood stone to Xiao Mian.
On this day, the two of them successfully arrived in Xianyang City!
Xianyang City is located in the hinterland of Qin County, occupying a thousand-mile radius with the strongest aura in Qin County. The Wei River runs through it to the south, Mount Wei stretches to the north, and the mountains and rivers are sunny, so it is called Xianyang.
On a high hill, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai looked at Xianyang City in the distance.
"Brother! This time when we enter Xianyang City, we will act separately. On the one hand, in order to prevent someone who is aware of the relationship between us and put us in the same pot; on the other hand, we will stand at two ends. If necessary, we can also give each other secrets. s help."
"I know! It's just that Mr. Huahua..."
"Brother, don't worry! That day, you and Hua Mancheng fled thousands of miles and never left each other. It can be regarded as a life-long friendship. As long as the elder brother does not hinder Hua Mancheng's vital interests, he will definitely be happy to have a friend with the strength of the elder brother Come to the door! Even within the scope of possibility, the eldest brother can also make some excessive demands, such as asking him to help find the whereabouts of Tuoba within the scope of the possibility - eldest brother, don't underestimate the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, then In one word, I will definitely be stronger than you and me!"
"I know! You really can't take advantage of this kid..."
But it turned out that Xiao Mian actually wanted to go back to the sea and join Huamancheng alone.
As for Xiao Mian himself, he has no definite destination yet.
After another discussion, Xiao Mian took a deep breath and rushed towards the depths of the dense forest in the north as he watched Guihai heading south until he disappeared.
Of course, Xiao Mian had already given a star to Gui Hai, and with the presence of Beidou Si Nanpan, the two of them were not afraid of losing contact. With Beidou Si Nanpan as a magic weapon, it is definitely more concealed than ordinary Tongxin Pei or other contacts. The tools are much higher, and as long as the ancestor of Yuanying does not deliberately use his spiritual sense to detect, he is not afraid of being discovered.
Bypassing the dense forest in the north, Xiao Mian found the road leading to the north gate of Xianyang City.
After waiting for a while on the avenue, Xiao Mian saw many monks heading towards Xianyang City, either in groups, in twos or alone, or alone.
After careful observation, he found that his clothes were no different from those of the monks. Xiao Mian quietly walked out of the secret place and blended into the crowd.
When he arrived at the gate of Xianyang City, Xiao Mian saw the monk in front holding an identity plate in one hand and a small bag of spiritual stones in the other. The guarding monk at the north gate of Xianyang City first used a disk-shaped instrument to check the identity plate handed over. After confirming that it was correct, he then collected a small bag of spiritual stones - but to Xiao Mian's surprise, it seemed that not every Everyone needs to pay spirit stones, and even among those who pay spirit stones, there are many and some, but there are not uniform regulations.
Although there were many monks waiting at the gate of the North City, because there were a total of nine monks guarding the city, the queue was not slow. Soon, it was Xiao Mian's turn.
The person responsible for checking Xiao Mian's identity is a top-level monk in the foundation building stage who is about the same age as Xiao Mian - in Nanyue State, this kind of monk will definitely be regarded as a key cultivation target by all major forces, but in Zhongzhou, it is just A handyman guarding the city gate!
While Xiao Mian was sighing secretly, the guarding monk first bowed respectfully to Xiao Mian. After all, Xiao Mian's identity as a golden elixir monk lay there. However, although the guarding monk was respectful but not cowardly, he then took Xiao Mian's hand. The nameplate that goes up.
Seeing the nameplate forged by Zhen Lingzi being wrapped up in the disk in the guarding monk's hand, even Xiao Mian, who had always been bold, couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Not wanting to be afraid of anything, the guarding monk's face changed slightly.
Xiao Mian was shocked, thinking that Zhen Lingzi's ability to hide the sky and cross the sea could only be hidden from ordinary people's eyes, but could not be hidden from the detection disc in the hands of the guarding monks. He was thinking about whether to retreat and leave Xianyang City temporarily.
At this moment, the guarding monk saluted Xiao Mian with more respect, and then lowered the nameplate back to Xiao Mian, but did not take the spirit stone storage bag in Xiao Mian's other hand.
Xiao Mian was stunned again, but still smiled faintly and stuffed the storage bag with some medium-grade spirit stones into the monk.
Under the grateful gaze of the monk, Xiao Mian walked into Xianyang City.
Huh... a false alarm!
Obviously, the identity that Zhen Lingzi helped Xiao Mian to forge was not only not discovered by the detection disc, but also probably had a high status and noble identity - while Xiao Mian was waiting at the city gate, hundreds of people entered Xianyang City, but only three of them did not need to pay the entrance fee, and Xiao Mian was the fourth person!
The reason why he still stuffed the spirit stone bag into the guard was that Xiao Mian was in a good mood, and secondly, to avoid suspicion from those who had ulterior motives - if Xiao Mian really understood that his identity did not need to pay the entrance fee, why did he take out those spirit stones?
As a tip, it was naturally a good excuse.
Those few spirit stones were just a drop in the bucket for Xiao Mian now.
After entering Xianyang City, Xiao Mian first stopped to watch for a moment, and then followed the flow of people and walked on the streets of Xianyang City. Xiao Mian was not in a hurry. He came to Xianyang City not to escape or for business, but for real personal experience, and he had plenty of time.
But the most urgent thing was to find a place to stay.
Thinking of this, he looked up and saw a practice inn.
But seeing a big "Ji" character at the door of the inn, Xiao Mian frowned unconsciously, and then shook his head, planning to find another practice inn.
Unexpectedly, after wandering around the streets of Xianyang City for a long time, Xiao Mian found as many as four or five practice inns, but without exception, they were all owned by the Ji family.
Although Xiao Mian's expression did not change, his heart unconsciously moved: Could it be that all the practice inns in Xianyang City belonged to the Ji family?
It was almost noon, and Xiao Mian simply walked into a spiritual wine restaurant.
After ordering a few special dishes and a pot of fourth-grade spirit wine, Xiao Mian poured himself a drink. After three rounds of wine, he called the waiter who was serving the dishes.
Without saying anything, Xiao Mian threw a medium-grade spirit stone to the other party.
"Thank you, senior! If you have any questions, just ask me. I know all the information about the "Beisai Mansion" in Xianyang City!"
"Beisai Mansion?"
"Is this the first time for senior to come to Xianyang City?" Seeing Xiao Mian nodded, the waiter showed an expression of "as expected", and seeing Xiao Mian throw another medium-grade spirit stone to him calmly, the waiter reached out to take it and explained more diligently: "Xianyang City has four prefectures: Nanqin Mansion, Beisai Mansion, Dongyong Mansion and Xizhai Mansion. The four prefectures are divided into different regions and controlled by the four major families of Qin, Wang, Ji and Lu..."
Then, the waiter used his eloquent tongue to introduce the specific situation of Beisai Mansion where Xiao Mian is now. As for the other three prefectures, he just mentioned them briefly.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Mian asked, and then he knew that the waiter had been hanging out in Beisai Mansion since he was born, and he had never been to the other three mansions in Xianyang City!
Feeling the vastness of Xianyang City, and seeing that the waiter looked at him rather nervously, Xiao Mian laughed, threw a storage bag to him, and waved.
The waiter thanked Xiao Mian respectfully, and then walked out of the private room happily. But a moment later, he heard his joyful voice - there were ten medium-grade spirit stones in that small bag, which was naturally a considerable fortune in the eyes of a waiter who had not yet established his foundation.
After having a good meal and drinking, and exchanging a lot of useful information, Xiao Mian left.
It turned out that, as Xiao Mian had suspected before, almost 99% of the practice inns in Xianyang City were controlled by the Ji family. Even in Beisai Mansion where the Wang family had an absolute position, most of the practice inns on the street were owned by the Ji family!
However, from the waiter, Xiao Mian learned that foreign cultivators who settled in Xianyang City did not only stay in the training inn. For example, in the Beisai Mansion, there was a special institution opened by the Wang family, one of the four great families, the Zhaoxian Hall!
Zhaoxian Hall, as the name suggests, is a hall that recruits powerful cultivators.
Although entering the Zhaoxian Hall is equivalent to expressing goodwill to the family, it does not mean that you must serve the family. However, as long as the cultivators who are qualified to enter the Zhaoxian Hall, they only need to pay a symbolic amount of spirit stones to enjoy good treatment. It is said that some treatments are not even available in the Ji family's training inn!
After taking out his nameplate and weighing it for a moment, Xiao Mian made up his mind.
He wanted to see: what kind of prominent identity did this forged nameplate in his hand give him, so that he could enter Xianyang City without paying!
