Chapter 569: Deliberately Setting up a Confusing Formation

Xiao Mian planned to visit the Wang family's Talent Recruitment Hall.

However, before going to the Talent Recruitment Hall, Xiao Mian had one more thing to do.

He had to buy a detailed map of Beisai Prefecture and even Xianyang City. Although the map of Zhongzhou obtained from Chi Lianxia was extremely detailed and exquisite, it was impossible to cover everything. Besides, it was unknown when the map was drawn. The appearance of the mountains and rivers in the outside world might not change much, but the layout style of Xianyang City was easily tampered by the cultivators. It would be better to find a new map.

Following the instructions of the waiter, Xiao Mian quickly found an alley.

Although this alley was not spacious, it was extremely lively. According to the waiter, this alley named Xinglong Lane was the gathering place of scattered cultivators in Beisai Prefecture.

Here, as long as there is something that can appear in Xianyang City, it can be said that there is everything you can think of, and there is nothing you can't buy - of course, because both parties of the transaction are scattered cultivators with no foundation, it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad in the transaction.

Wandering in Xinglong Lane, Xiao Mian was not in a hurry to make a move.

During this time, there were also a few Jindan cultivators who took the initiative to find Xiao Mian, asking him what he needed or selling the tools they had on hand.

Xiao Mian just smiled and said nothing.

As time went on, fewer and fewer people paid attention to Xiao Mian.

But at this moment, there was a commotion in front of him.

Curious, Xiao Mian looked over.

I don’t know if it was because Xiao Mian refined the ten thousand year old grass head miasma mother. These days, Xiao Mian felt that even if he didn’t deliberately use the spirit-seeking eyes, he would see a lot of scenes that he couldn’t find before. If he deliberately used the spirit-seeking eyes, he could see farther.

Although he didn’t comprehend new pupil skills, it was enough for Xiao Mian to be satisfied.

After all, the most precious value of the ten thousand year old grass head miasma mother lies in the trace of spiritual poison, not the heaven-defying effect attached to the decayed three-eyed flower feather.

After a closer look, Xiao Mian realized that the conflict ahead was caused by forced buying and selling. Xiao Mian was unwilling to pay more attention to these trivial matters that had nothing to do with him. When he turned his eyes and saw one of the parties in the conflict, Xiao Mian was stunned.

Why is it him?

Just thinking about this, Xiao Mian frowned, and then he saw him sweep his right hand back without looking back, tightly grasping a slender arm.

The owner of the arm looked at Xiao Mian with horror, but his palm just rested on Xiao Mian's belt, and he could reach Xiao Mian's storage bag if he moved a little further.

Although the storage bag Xiao Mian hung on his waist was just for concealing his tracks, there was nothing too valuable or precious in it, but regardless of other things, Xiao Mian's daily spiritual stones alone were enough to reserve about 30,000 medium-grade spiritual stones.

Moreover, how could Xiao Mian let the other party steal his storage bag so easily?

When Xiao Mian turned around, he was stunned when he saw the thief.

The thief was only as tall as Xiao Mian's waist, and he looked only about ten years old, with thin arms and legs. Not to mention that his face was pale, he was also skinny.

Under Xiao Mian's gaze, the thief stopped struggling in vain.

He couldn't even build a foundation, how could he be a match for a Jindan strongman?

Xiao Mian, who noticed the thief's cultivation, was also at a loss!

Good boy!

Did he have the courage to steal in front of him, a Jindan mid-level cultivator? Was he too brave, or did he, Xiao Mian, look too easy to bully?

But at this moment, a gust of wind came.

Motionless, Xiao Mian just circulated his true energy to block the wind in front of him. Looking carefully, it was an extremely ordinary little stone. Following the sound, Xiao Mian saw a skinny girl looking at him timidly.

"Feng'er? Run!"

"Brother..."

The girl looked very similar to the boy Xiao Mian had restrained.

Without saying much, Xiao Mian already understood the relationship between the two.

In the eyes of the skinny girl, he must have been a bad guy who had committed all kinds of crimes, right?

With this thought in mind, Xiao Mian loosened his right hand.

The thief was quite clever. As soon as Xiao Mian let go, he pulled back his arm, tapped his toes in succession, and then moved away from Xiao Mian, flew back to the girl, took up the girl's hand, and the two of them disappeared into a patio next to the alley.

Xiao Mian didn't care at first, but when his eyes touched the boy's real and fake footsteps, he couldn't help but move - it was clearly an extremely superb leg technique!

Could it be that this boy was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

Or, did he have another opportunity?

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian calmed down.

When he looked back at the place where the chaos had occurred before, he found that the chaos had gradually subsided, and the person who had attracted his attention before had disappeared.

He should not be wrong!

Among the two groups of people who had just had a dispute, one side had more than ten people, and the other side had only one person, and this person was exactly what Xiao Mian had been talking about before - Ou Haiyang!

I didn't expect Ou Haiyang to come to Xianyang City!

What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Mian and Ou Haiyang could actually meet again.

It should be known that the cultivation world is undoubtedly vast. Not to mention Zhongzhou, the first of the five states, even Nanyuezhou, where Xiao Mian was born, is also sparsely populated. It is a fate for ordinary two people to meet by chance. It is difficult to meet again after separation, let alone in Zhongzhou!

From this point of view, I and this old man Ou are really destined...

However, when he thought about the worries he had when talking about Ou Haiyang before, Xiao Mian was not relieved - Ou Haiyang was kicked out of the Lotte Inn because he ran out of spirit stones. After that, although Xiao Mian gave him 10,000 yuan, However, in this expensive Zhongzhou, even ten thousand spiritual stones would not be able to really help Ou Haiyang.

What worries Xiao Mian even more is Ou Haiyang's mysterious disappearance...

During the previous conflict, although Xiao Mian only glanced briefly, he not only saw Ou Haiyang, but also saw the monks who were arguing with Ou Haiyang.

At that time, there was clearly a group of more than ten people surrounding Ou Haiyang surrounding the poor old man. It was obvious that Ou Haiyang had fallen into a carefully prepared trap.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian was only slightly distracted and lost sight of Ou Haiyang.

Xiao Mian snorted secretly and continued to move forward.

If you don't see it, forget it. Now that you see it, you have to take care of it.

Within a moment, Xiao Mian came to the place where Ou Haiyang had a conflict with someone just now. Looking around, he saw that the people who had argued with Ou Haiyang had already dispersed and were scattered about not far apart. They seemed to be unfamiliar with each other. Gu Zide is setting up a stall.

Xiao Mian came to one of the stalls without leaving a trace and scanned it casually.

The stall owner saw a customer coming to the door, and when he saw a new face, his heart moved. He realized that Xiao Mian's cultivation seemed to be only at the intermediate level of Jindan. The smile on his face became even brighter, and he nodded to greet Xiao Mian. He gave his companions a few different looks.

Xiao Mian was just looking for trouble, so naturally he didn't care.

However, Xiao Mian was stunned for a moment. After a slight pause, Xiao Mian's eyes scanned the items on the stall, and then continued to wander, completely careless.

"Does this fellow Taoist like anything?"

"Nothing, just take a look!"

"Oh! If there is anything you like, please tell me..." As the stall owner spoke, Xiao Mian pointed at a broken round mirror and asked with a smile: "What's the origin of this thing?"

"You have good eyesight! This object has a great origin. According to legend, it is a powerful spiritual treasure in ancient times - the Qiankun Haotian Mirror..." At this point, the stall owner paused slightly and saw Xiao Mian did not interrupt his nonsense like the ordinary monks before, but looked at him seriously. The stall owner smiled awkwardly and got back to the point: "Of course, this is just a replica!"

"An imitation of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror? As an imitation of a spiritual treasure, it should be at the level of a magic weapon, right? This broken mirror is only a top-level magic weapon..."

"Fellow Taoist, you really have good eyesight! This..., this realm is imitated according to the production principle of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror, but after all, the Qiankun Haotian Mirror is an ancient treasure, and many of the spiritual materials used to refine it have long since disappeared or have been destroyed. Extinct, how to imitate it?”

"If a top-level imitation of a magic weapon is in good condition, it will be a rare item when taken out. Although it has no use, it is always good to use it for decoration!" With that said, Xiao Mian casually picked up the noodles and said It was a broken mirror imitation of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror. After weighing it, he chuckled at the stall owner: "It's just broken like this, how can you see anyone?"

"Fellow Taoist, you really have a good eye! That..."

"But, I like it!"

When the stall owner was at a loss for words, Xiao Mian suddenly killed him and turned around.

"This..., Fellow Taoist indeed has good eyesight!"

Squeezing down a mouthful of old blood that was almost vomited out after being seriously injured, the stall owner looked Xiao Mian up and down, judging Xiao Mian's identity and net worth. When his eyes touched the storage bag hanging on Xiao Mian's waist, he was originally His expression darkened, but then he brightened up when he saw the white jade flying pendant - the stall owner could tell at a glance that it was a magic weapon for storage!

Even in Zhongzhou, not every Jindan monk can use the storage magic weapon.

As for the reason why the stall owner was able to see through the base of the White Jade Feitian Pendant, it was because Xiao Mian deliberately poured a trace of true energy into the White Jade Feitian Pendant.

"Since fellow Taoist sincerely wants it, I will offer you a minimum price!" Looking up at Xiao Mian, the stall owner said seriously. Xiao Mian remained silent and nodded lightly. The stall owner took a deep breath and started. The lion opened his mouth: "Mid-grade spiritual stone - one hundred thousand yuan!"

"Fellow Taoist, this is the lowest price..., tsk tsk!"

Xiao Mian looked at the stall owner with a half-smile for a moment, until he felt his heart tingling at the sight, then Xiao Mian threw the broken mirror on the ground and turned around to leave.

It didn't matter that things had developed to this point. After all, there were buyers and sellers, and the stall owner was asking for a high price. Xiao Mian naturally had the right to bargain or leave directly. Before the stall owner could call Xiao Mian to stop, the broken mirror split into two with a snap!

In this case, how could the stall owner be willing to give up?
