It was as if I had entered some elegant place. The tip of my nose was filled with the scent of tea mixed with the faint fragrance of sandalwood. I entered an elegant room separated by a screen. There were monks sipping tea and talking inside. There were all slim women coming and going in their prime, with graceful and graceful postures and graceful movements, just like everyone else.

Lady.

"May I ask, senior, what do you call me?" A soft female voice like a clear spring in a mountain stream brought Yuan Qing's eyes back to his eyes, where he saw a small woman in a pink dress leaning forward to salute him.

"The surname is Yuan." Yuan Qing replied calmly.

"Senior Yuan, please go up to the second floor to talk." After saying this, he turned slightly sideways and motioned for Yuan Qing to leave first. His words and actions were neither humble nor overbearing, and he was generous.

Yuan Qing followed his instructions and went up to the second floor. He only felt that the smell of sandalwood tea was stronger and made him feel comfortable. After the girl took Yuan Qing into an elegant room, she bowed and left. Not long after, other women offered fragrant tea.

The aroma of tea is sweet and the color is like amber. It is slightly bitter in the mouth and then fragrant in the heart.

Then, a figure squeezed into Yuan Qing's sight: this man was about seven feet tall, extremely wealthy, wearing a white jade crown, a disk-like face and dark complexion, wearing a white robe embroidered with pink peach blossoms, and holding a peach blossom fan.

, has thick fingers, and wears a sapphire finger ring on his left thumb.

The man walked slowly to Yuan Qing and sat down with him. With a smile as kind as possible on his face, he said: "Chen Mu, I am the shopkeeper of Tongbao Pavilion here. I wonder what Brother Yuan wants to buy here?" His voice was quite warm and mellow.

, but the scent is a bit pungent.

Yuan Qing tried his best to keep his face calm and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I just took a look at it casually and had no intention of buying anything."

"It doesn't matter," Chen Mu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Everyone who comes here is a guest, not to mention young talents like Brother Yuan. I will treat you and I as friends today, and come back if necessary in the future." He said.

He picked up the tea cup and invited Yuan and Qing to drink together.

After drinking tea, Chen Mu asked casually: "Looking at Brother Yuan's demeanor and behavior, he must be a disciple of Xuanyuan, right?"

"How can you see it?" Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chen Mu shook up his peach blossom fan and said slowly: "I have been in this city for more than twenty years. Not only have I met all the brothers in the foundation building period of Xuanyuan Sect, but I have also met at least most of them. Brother Guanyuan walks, sits and lies.

, definitely not a casual cultivator, but most likely a newly promoted senior brother in the foundation building stage."

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and continued: "And, if my guess is correct, Brother Yuan must be a sword cultivator."

Yuan Qing still looked calm on the outside, but the sword embryo in his body trembled slightly, and his whole body began to exude a faint sword intent. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Chen really has a good eye.

"

Chen Mu chuckled, made a cup of tea for Yuan Qing with his own hands, and then explained: "Chen Mouxiu has a technique of looking at qi. He just used it unconsciously. He asked this question when he saw the sword intent on Brother Yuan's body rising into the sky.

"Brother Yuan, please don't blame me for being rude."

Seeing that Yuan Qing's expression was still cold, Chen Mu turned over his hand and took out a dark green futon and handed it over, "This is a futon woven with mind-nourishing grass. Although it is of no great use, it does have some effect on concentration and calmness when meditating and practicing Qi, so he gave it to Brother Yuan

, as an apology."

Yuan Qing's eyes turned cold, and instead of taking the futon, he said: "Shopkeeper Chen is too polite. It is said that no reward will be given without merit. Yuan cannot accept such a precious gift. Yuan still has things to do during this trip.

Farewell." After saying that, he stood up and left.

Chen Mu hurriedly stood up and stopped Yuan Qing: "Brother Yuan stayed behind, it's true. When Brother Yuan left Suyuan, a servant came to report that Brother Yuan had purchased two sets of array weapons. Chen secretly speculated that he was a guard spirit at that time.

The land is used, so there is a futon. Please forgive me, Brother Yuan."

Yuan Qing turned around and asked in a cold tone: "Why is Mr. Yuan so virtuous and so loved by Shopkeeper Chen?"

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "A monk in the foundation-building period has come to Fang City. He is a big customer, so he should pay more attention to it. Besides, Brother Yuan has an extraordinary temperament. Chen loves to make friends with talented people most in his life, and he also wants to use this opportunity.

I really want to make you my friend."

Yuan Qing looked straight at Chen Mu for a while, and saw that his expression was sincere and not fake, then he said in a slower tone: "Well, Yuan is too careless. This futon is indeed what I need, shopkeeper Chen

Make a price."

Chen Mu was overjoyed, picked up the futon and handed it to Yuan Qing, and then said: "Brother Yuan is generous, and I can't be stingy. This thing sells for thirty spirit stones, but is actually worth twenty-five spirit stones. Brother Yuan, give it to me."

Twenty-five spiritual stones will suffice."

Yuan Qing put away the futon, turned over his hands and took out an animal skin bag and handed it over: "Shopkeeper Chen, here are thirty spiritual stones, please order them."

Chen Mu took the bag and put it away without looking at it. Yuan Qing sighed inwardly when he saw this, cupped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, take your leave."

Chen Mu also smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Yuan, walk slowly."

After Yuan Qing left, a slightly fat woman in her twenties, wearing a peach red dress, walked up behind Chen Mu and said softly: "Master, why do you value this person so much?"

Chen Mu hugged the person's waist, opened the folding fan, and said step by step: "Yue'er, I looked at this person with the technique of looking at the air, and I saw that the sword intention was soaring into the sky, with the power to soar into the clouds. This person has only just built a foundation.

With such a situation, it will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. To say the least, even if my judgment is wrong, the loss will only be a futon, so why not do such a nearly free business? "

But what Chen Mu was recalling in his mind at this moment was the sound of sword chanting still lingering in his ears and the deep chill of the bone-piercing sword energy.

Yuan Qing had all his spiritual stones gone, and there were not many merit points left. He had no intention of shopping anymore, so he walked straight to the west of Fangshi after leaving Tongbao Tower.

They were still released after their identity was checked. After leaving Fangshi and walking down the mountain for more than a hundred steps, Yuan Qing felt that the pressure on his body was suddenly relieved. He released the Water-Breaking Sword and headed straight for Miaomiao Lake.

An hour later, Yuan Qing returned to the island in the middle of the lake. It was already getting late, the new moon was rising, and the moonlight poured down, casting sparkling light waves on the lake. Gradually, the light waves turned into a gentle, watery face.

Yuan Qing looked at the lake longingly, the tenderness in his eyes overflowing and blending with the moonlight over the lake, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a gentle arc.

"Alas..." After a while, he sighed softly, and Yuan Qing brought his thoughts back to reality. He looked at the bamboo house behind him and thought about what to do.

After a moment, he made a decision and saw him rising up with his sword. After a while, he turned back. With a wave of his hand, there were two slender green bamboos and a huge stone as tall as a person on the ground.

He put away the Water-Breaking Sword and took out the fish-gut dagger that had not been used for a long time. For a moment, the sword was heavily shadowed and dust was flying. After a while, Yuan Qing had a stone tablet and two candlesticks in his hands.

Yuan Qing erected the stone tablet in front of the bamboo house. Silver light flashed from his body, and he pressed the huge stone two feet deep into the ground. Then he stretched out his hand and scratched, and the stone fragments rustled down. On the stone tablet, three words "Qingyuanju" appeared.

Although the large characters are not very beautiful, they are as sharp as swords and have the potential to soar into the sky.

Then, he walked into the bamboo house, placed a candlestick in each room, and placed the luminous pearl on it. Suddenly, the room was filled with light, clear and soft light.

Yuan Qing nodded and said to himself: "It is indeed an excellent treasure."

After doing all this, Yuan Qing took out the spiritual futon, sat down cross-legged, took out a pure white jade tube and put it on his forehead, immersing his spiritual thoughts in it.

This jade tube was given as a gift when purchasing the array device. It contains the principles of the array and the method of setting up the array.

A stick of incense passed. Yuan Qing came back to his senses and rubbed his eyebrows. Although it was an extremely simple mechanism, it was still as difficult as a book from heaven in his opinion. He could only memorize the formation method like a gulp.

Do the calculation again.

Then, he walked out of the house, stood up with his sword, and walked around the lake while stopping and walking. At the same time, he inserted more than ten small aqua flags into the low places in the terrain. Finally, he returned to the island and took out the blue formation disk.

.

A magic spell was fired, and the array disk emitted a glowing blue light. Immediately, layers of water mist appeared around the island, and in an instant it spread to cover the entire lake. At the same time, a transparent shield rose up, covering the entire lake.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qing nodded with satisfaction, then took out a small green flag, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred. He first looked at the small island under his feet, and then his spiritual consciousness came out, reaching hundreds of feet below his feet.

"I didn't expect this to be a hill, and I am at the top of the mountain right now." Yuan Qing murmured to himself.

Then, he returned to the house, closed his eyes and released his spiritual consciousness. After a while, he opened his eyes, walked to the inner quiet room, and released his spiritual consciousness again.

After a stick of incense, Yuan Qing withdrew his consciousness, summoned the Water-Breaking Sword, and directly used the sword technique of combining body and sword to penetrate straight down.

After descending for about ten feet, the sword light swirled horizontally, instantly clearing a space for one person. Then the sword light converged, and Yuan Qing also revealed his figure.

Then, driven by its sword intent, the Duanshui Sword slashed horizontally and vertically, gradually building a stone chamber of three feet in size, and then upwards, widening the passage down to five feet.

Yuan Qing waved his sleeves and put the earth and stones inside into Xia Zongshi's storage bag. He went up with his sword and took the luminous pearls and futons in the quiet room into the secret room and put them away. Then he took out a fist-sized transparent ball and set it in the secret room.

From the top of the secret room, five small green flags were taken out and placed around the secret room according to the five elements and five directions.

A magic spell was played, and the green light of the small flag was faint, and the strands of heaven and earth vitality gradually filled the entire secret room; another magic spell was played, and the brilliance of the spirit-gathering pearl flashed, and the smoke inside was billowing, and the heaven and earth vitality in the secret room was

It becomes richer, take a deep breath, and feel comfortable all over.

Yuan Qing secretly compared it, and found that the concentration of spiritual energy at this time was almost the same as that in the valley where the Ning Yuan Spirit Pool was located. After everything was done, Yuan Qing sat on the futon, breathing slowly and slowly, closing his eyes and regulating his breath.

One night passed, and when Yuan Qing woke up again, he was already full of energy. I don't know if it was an illusion or something, but the sword embryo in his body seemed to be brighter.

Then, he summoned the Broken Water Sword and placed it in front of him. He held the hilt of the sword with his right hand and stretched out two fingers with his left hand. He closed his eyes and stroked the sword along the spine inch by inch.

.At this time, an accident suddenly occurred. With a clear sound, the sword embryo in his body vibrated spontaneously, and the sword shadow in the sea of ​​​​consciousness also shone brightly. The pure sword energy flowed through the sword body along the fingers, and the Duanshuijian was like an old friend.

It made a "buzzing" vibration sound like a reunion after a long separation, then turned into a clear and bright "yining" sound, and finally made a crisp sword sound like a sharp blade being unsheathed.

At this time, Yuan Qing only felt that he and the Broken Water Sword were connected, and the sword's intention was poured into it more smoothly. With a thought, the Broken Water Sword rose into the air, circled around the secret room as fast as lightning, and then stopped at his body.

In front of you, the sword's brilliance flows, its sharpness is compelling.

Yuan Qing put the Shuishui Sword into his storage bag and took out the "Xuan Yuan Tongshi" and studied it carefully.

The beginning of this book just talks about some sect rules and taboos. For example, you are not allowed to kill each other. If you are discovered by the supervisor within the sect, you will be punished by water jail at the least, or your cultivation will be revoked on the spot and expelled from the sect. Also, you are not allowed to betray the sect and leave the sect.

Tao, for those who rebel against the sect and deviate from the Tao, everyone will find and punish them...

The second article talks about the obligations that monks within the sect should perform. Most of the content is not much different from what Li Yang said. There is only one point. Monks in the foundation building period will automatically deduct two points of merit every month. If the merit is deducted, it will be regarded as

If you leave the clan automatically, your identity token will become invalid and you will not be allowed to re-enter for life.

Yuan Qing thought about the remaining eight points of his achievements, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was lucky. Fortunately, his boss Quan and Su Tianqi exchanged spiritual stones for a while.

Turning to the third article, there were a few big characters at the beginning that read "Lu Zhou Zhi". As the reading gradually deepened, Yuan Qing's inner shock became stronger. After closing the book, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes were full of indescribable things.

Complex look.
