Chapter 253 Entering the city

Xu Xing replied, "My surname is Xu, and I am a casual cultivator. I have traveled all the way to practice. When I saw that this city was a little different from other places, I came and have a look."

The foundation-building monk showed a sudden look on his face and said, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xu! I'm leaving the surname Dan, with the name Yuan. Fellow Daoist Xu came at the right time. Our Yuanjin City is in the development stage and requires all kinds of talents. People with high cultivation like fellow Taoists are even more welcome!"

"Oh?" Xu Xing asked deliberately, "I remember that Yuanjin City seems to belong to Yongguo, right? But you don't seem to be a monk from Yongguo, but they are a bit like Xuanyang Sect."

Upon hearing this, Uni looked at Xu Xing with a little vigilant, and asked in a slightly distant tone: "Fellow Taoist asked what this meant. Did it come for the court of Yongguo?"

Xu Xing smiled and shook his head: "This is not, the Yongguo court has nothing to do with me, and I can't do anything for them!"

Unit looked at Xu Xing, his tone was eased a little, and he said, "Since fellow Taoists did not come on behalf of the Yongguo court, why did he ask such words?"

Xu Xing took out a jade slip and said, "Because on the map in my hand, the Yuanjin City, and even the Yunze City, Huai'en City, and Sihua City, are all marked as being under the jurisdiction of Yongguo. Now it seems that the map is inaccurate!"

Unit took the jade slip from Xu Xing's hand, explored his spiritual sense inside, and laughed: "So that's it!"

Then, he returned the jade slip to Xu Xing, and said without caring, "Fellow Taoist, what you said should be five years ago! Now these cities have already taken the initiative to beg our Xuanyang Sect to settle in. Because everyone can see clearly that only by relying on our Xuanyang Sect can we live and work in peace! This Yuanjin City did belong to Yongguo before, but the emperor of Yongguo was a fool, who only cared about his own enjoyment and completely ignored the lives and death of the people of the country, and allowed the Xiji Sect to rage everywhere. Our Xuanyang Sect could not bear it, so we had to save the people on his behalf."

Speaking of this, the unit pointed to the people who were queuing in and out of the city in an orderly manner not far away: "Xu Xingyou, look, each of them has hope and full of longing for the future! This is enough to show that with the help of our Xuanyang Sect, they can live better!"

Xu Xing nodded: "Yeah, indeed!"

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the city gate.

A middle-aged monk at the fourth level of the Golden Elixir was sitting cross-legged under a simple tent not far away.

After Xu Xing arrived, the man seemed to have some sense, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xing.

After seeing Xu Xing, his expression moved slightly, and he immediately grew up and walked towards Xu Xing.

Before he got closer, the middle-aged monk bowed to Xu Xing and said, "Oh, I was so impatient that I had practiced and had not noticed that this fellow Taoist came and failed to greet him. It was a sin! I don't know what the friend should call him?"

Before Xu Xing could speak, Unit started speaking: "Elder Li, this is fellow Daoist Xu."

Elder Li scolded at Yian: "Yi, you are just a small foundation-building monk, and you can call him Fellow Daoist Xu? Didn't you see that he is a Jindan monk? You should call him Senior Xu!"

Unit lowered his head and said, "Elder Li, what you taught me!" After that, he turned to Xu Xing and said, "Senior Xu, this is the elder of our Xuanyang Sect, Elder Li Yitong!"

Xu Xing waved his hand and smiled, "Although I am a Jindan monk, I also practiced from the foundation-building realm, so it's okay to call me fellow Taoist!"

The unit immediately changed his words: "Fellow Daoist Xu is so humble and polite. Compared with some seniors who like to rely on their seniority, it is really admirable!"

Li Yitong snorted and turned his head away.

Xu Xing looked at Li Yitong, then looked at the unit that seemed to be nothing, and smiled slightly without saying anything.

But he thought to himself: "It seems that this unit and Li Yitong are a little inconsistent! I don't know if it's just a conflict between the two of them, or a battle between certain factions of the Xuanyang Sect cultivators in the entire Yuanjin City?"

Unit looked at Xu Xing and saw that Xu Xing had no intention of answering the conversation, so he took out a fiery red waist card and handed it to Xu Xing, saying, "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is a passive waist card to enter and exit Yuanjin City. You only need to put in a drop of blood on it, and then put in your own spiritual mark, and you can enter and exit freely! However, it is not easy to make this waist card, and fellow Daoist, you also need to pay thirty spirit stones."

Li Yitong looked over coldly and said, "Haha, unit, this token clearly stipulates that every immortal cultivator must pay fifty spirit stones. How dare you reduce the price by yourself?"

Unit smiled and said, "The reason I collected fifty spirit stones was just to make a part of the profit. I am now selling them to fellow Daoist Xu at the price of thirty spirit stones. I don't want the profit that belongs to me! And the profit that belongs to others will be deducted from my income!"

Li Yitong: "Hmph, you know how to be a human being!"

Xu Xing took out fifty spirit stones, gave them all to the unit, and said, "Since it is a rule, don't make an exception just because I am alone. You can collect as much as you should."

Uni surprised and said, "This..." subconsciously, he wanted to give Xu Xing twenty spirit stones.

Xu Xing shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I won't owe such a favor to a small favor, so as to avoid being involved in cause and effect. In the future, I have to vomit more in some things."

Unit hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist Xu, you misunderstood. How could a cultivator like you have a strong cultivation level that could have something to do with a causal relationship because of just twenty spirit stones?"

Seeing Xu Xing's idea firm, Uni had to take down all the spirit stones awkwardly.

Li Yitong looked at him coldly, with a hint of undetectable smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Uni glanced at Li Yitong secretly, with a little annoyed look in his eyes.

After getting the red waist card, Xu Xing played with it for a moment and said, "Does this waist card have to be dripped in blood? If I don't drip blood, can't enter the city?"

Unit smiled and said, "That's not!" and explained, "The blood is dripping in order to allow fellow Taoists to better control this waist card. If you just leave a spiritual mark, then the connection between the mind and the waist card will probably not be so clear and close!"

"Oh..." Xu Xing nodded to express his understanding, but he only left a spiritual mark on it, and no blood dripped in it.

Uni secretly glanced at Li Yitong, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Xu Xing ignored the open and secret struggle between the two, hung the waist sign around his waist and said, "Will I go into the city after this?"

Uni smiled and said, "That's natural! Fellow Daoist Xu is just here, so why not let me accompany you around the city and introduce you to you, how about it?"

Li Yitong: "Unit, your responsibility is to assist the elder in observing the monks who come and go. It is not to let you accompany someone specifically. Don't make mistakes about what you should do!"

The expression on Uni's face stopped. Before he could speak, Xu Xing said, "Fellow Daoist, since the rules and responsibilities are in place, it's better not to leave the post easily! I'll just go around the city by myself!"

Unit subconsciously wanted to argue: "Fellow Daoist Xu, I..."

Xu Xing smiled and said, "I prefer to go alone and stay alone. I am used to being free and slow, and I don't like being led by others. Fellow Dan wants to go into the city with me so much, but he is not very at ease with me. Do you want to monitor and pull all the way?"

Uni smiled awkwardly and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you misunderstood. I just want to help you understand Yuanjin City better. How could you have this idea?"

Since this is the case, the unit naturally cannot find a suitable reason to follow Xu Xing.

Unless he really admits that he is a little worried about Xu Xing entering the city alone, it is impossible for him to forcefully follow Xu Xing to enter the city with Xu Xing on the spot.

Xu Xing entered the city alone and looked around.

I found that some of the people who came in from outside the city would sell their things to the shops in the city, and some would walk to a street that looked particularly lively, then set up simple stalls on both sides of the street, erect signs, and yell.

Xu Xing was walking in such a street at this time, and the hawking around him started to rise and fall.

However, Xu Xing didn't like most of the things sold here.

As we were walking, among the crowded crowd, someone suddenly stuffed a message talisman into Xu Xing's hand.

Xu Xing looked at the man and found that he was just a farmer in the innate realm. His eyes were a little confused, as if he had lost his mind for a moment.

This made Xu Xing understand that this farmer was just a tool to convey information after being controlled by others.

Even if he tracked the farmer, he might not be able to get any useful news.

So Xu Xing just paused for a moment and continued to wander around casually.

After leaving Xu Xing for more than ten feet, the farmer suddenly became clear. He stopped, scratched his head in confusion, and said to himself: "Why did I get here? What am I going to do before?"

After Xu Xing's spiritual consciousness sensed this scene, he thought to himself: "Sure enough, it is useless to track this person."

With a gentle pinch of the reading talisman in his hand, a wisp of spiritual consciousness transmitted the sound, and it rang in Xu Xing's ears: "Three updates in the middle of the night, Old Yushu Lane in the north of the city!"

Xu Xing smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "This is a headless person, I want me to pass by in the middle of the night? What kind of news is simply inexplicable!"

Putting this matter behind his mind, Xu Xing continued to wander around casually.

After walking for a while, there was a relatively special stall, which attracted Xu Xing's attention.

The stall was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Next to this girl, there was another boy who looked younger, who looked about eight or nine years old.

What surprised Xu Xing was that the girl and the boy were actually cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm!

The girl is at the sixth level of Qi refining, while the boy is at the first level of Qi refining.

If that were the case, at most, Xu Xing would just take a look at him twice, thinking that he was talented.

What really caught Xu Xing's attention was that this girl actually used spiritual herbs to refine elixirs on the spot! Xu Xing was also very familiar with the alchemy technique, which was exactly the same as the alchemy technique in "The True Sutra of Alchemy"!

This aroused some interest from Xu Xing.

Xu Xing discovered that the girl was using the spiritual fire alchemy, but the spiritual fire she used for her alchemy was just a relatively low-grade flame, and the power of the flame was very limited.

Generally speaking, few people can see such low-level miscellaneous spirit flames.

However, that is only for cultivators above the foundation-building realm.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, even low-level flames are difficult to obtain.

And the spirit flames in this girl's hand undoubtedly attracted the covetousness of others.

A fat, chubby Qi Refining Cultivator, wearing the costumes of the disciples of Xuanyang Sect, was standing in front of the girl at this moment, and said proudly: "Xin Qiaoer, twenty spirit stones, today you have to give this spiritual flame, and even if you don't give it! I'm going to make a decision!"

Although the girl looked a little weak, her eyes were very firm. She shook her head and said, "Yan Fa, although your surname is Yan, you are an amazing surname in Xuanyang Sect, but you cannot take advantage of it! This spiritual flame is used by our siblings to refine elixirs, and it is the foundation for us to settle down here. We cannot give it to you anyway!"

The little boy next to him looked up at Yan Fa and said angrily: "You big fat man, a bad guy! You will bully my sister! The spiritual medicine you took from us yesterday has not paid us yet!"

Yan Fa sneered: "Spiritual medicine? What kind of spiritual medicine! It's just a few useless medicinal residue balls!"

The little boy said, "Then you give us the medicine!"

Yan Fa looked disdainful and said, "That medicine is useless. I have already lost it! I didn't say you were cheating and didn't ask you to compensate you, it's better. Do you dare to ask me for money?"

The little boy wanted to cry a little: "You are talking nonsense! You are this bad fat man! The pills my sister refined are very useful! Many people say it's OK after using them!"

Yan Fa looked around leisurely and said slowly, "Who used it? Who said it was good?"

The little boy turned his head and looked at a few onlookers, pointed at one of them, and said, "He! He bought elixirs from us a few days ago, and came to buy them the next day, and said that the medicine was effective!"

The person pointed at by the little boy saw Yan Fa looking at him and quickly waved his hand and said, "No! Child, don't talk nonsense! Where have I bought elixirs from you? Don't just rush around!" He said that and hurriedly left.

The little boy had tears in his eyes, he curled his lips, and cried out with a wow sound, pointing at Yan Fa while crying, "Bad man, you bad man!"

Xin Qiaoer squatted down, wiped the little boy's tears, and said, "Brother, don't cry, don't cry! Do you still remember Grandpa's words? You are a little man, and men cannot cry!"
