At this moment, beside Taichu Li Youzhu, the captain was slinking through the crowd, trying to find a better position to comprehend.
He had not been able to achieve success in the past three days, so he thought the location was unlucky, so he planned to get closer.
But before he could find it, the captain suddenly had a bad premonition.
"My intuition is very accurate, something is wrong..." the captain pondered, carefully recalling what he had done recently.
"Have the eyes I left on Ghost Emperor Mountain been discovered?"
"My informant in Taisi Xianmen was exposed?"
"The clone secretly placed in Daoshan, Sanling Town was found?"
"The person I bribed in the Taoist teaching turned against me?"
"Does Yanhuang know that I'm going to steal his house?"
"My enemy in the corpse has awakened?" After thinking about it, the captain suddenly remembered something.
"Did Immortal Zixuan reply?"
The captain had a headache and didn't know what was wrong with him, but the premonition of heart palpitations was very strong, so he was extremely vigilant and left the crowd.
He even concealed his aura and changed his appearance, but he still felt uneasy, so he left the vicinity of Taichu Liyouzhu and found a remote tent on the edge of the city. He reluctantly spent some money and sat there to carefully comprehend.
But he felt that it was not yet safe, so he made a secret technique with his hands to hide himself deeper.
Not long after, Xu Qing came and searched around Taichu Liyouzhu, but found no trace of the captain.
As for the search for shadows, it requires a certain range. This place is too big. Xu Qing cannot accurately search unless he walks around the entire city.
After searching to no avail, Xu Qing turned and left.
A few days passed quickly, and the captain saw that everything was as usual, and gradually relaxed. Although the cover-up was always there, his body and mind were mostly immersed in perception.
However, Xu Qing did not give up. In the past few days, in addition to sensing Taichu Li Youzhu's fighting spirit and increasing the number of spiritual seals of war in his consciousness, he spent the rest of his time wandering around the city composed of countless tents.
Therefore, there were many monks in the land, so many small and large markets were formed, selling a wide variety of things, most of which were strange.
Xu Qing saw a lot in the past few days while looking for traces of the captain, and also bought some poisonous weeds.
However, every time he goes out, he changes his appearance and covers up.
In fact, in the past few days, he has received seven or eight challenges from the talented disciples of various sects in Yinghuang Province.
Many people are already aware of his arrival, and as a member of the Eight Sects Alliance of this generation who enjoys the treatment of a Taoist, his fame has actually spread among all the sects.
After all, the two life lamps, the emperor-level skills, and the killing of Sheng Yunzi made Xu Qing's place very important in the hearts of the disciples of this generation of Yinghuangzhou's sects.
Now that the Sword Holder Trial is about to begin, those who think they have adequate strength mostly want to show off their aura of suppressing a large number of geniuses here, in order to attract the attention of the Sword Holder Court and gain points for themselves.
Therefore, not only Xu Qing was challenged here, but other geniuses in the alliance were also challenged frequently, and the same was true for other major sects, with people competing against each other every day.
There is only one person here, and no one has dared to challenge him from beginning to end. This person is Zhang Siyun, the Taoist disciple of Taisi Xianmen, who is also known as the number one person of his generation in Yinghuang Province.
There are rumors from the outside world that he already possesses the combat power of the Sixth Palace. He has reached such a level at this age that the disciples of all sects are afraid to fight and are in awe.
And he did not stay in Taichu City, but went to the depths of the ice field. It is said that he was going to take advantage of the environment here to hone his own skills.
In comparison, Xu Qing's combat power, which in the eyes of outsiders is at most the third or fourth palace, naturally became the best challenger next to Tai Si's Xianmen Dao Zi Xiu.
Among the people who challenged him, there were also people from Taisi Xianmen, but Xu Qing had no interest in such a tasteless challenge.
At this moment, he was walking in a large market, scanning the stalls on the left and right, trying to see if there were any special poisonous weeds.
There are many monks here. In addition to local casual cultivators, there are also some disciples of human sects from all directions, which is very lively.
Soon Xu Qing paused and his eyes fell on a stall.
The items sold here are all materials for alchemy and weapon refining, and there are also some medicinal herbs in them.
One of them, Cordyceps cordyceps, is a very good poison-melting and transforming agent in Xu Qing's pharmacopoeia. It has special medicinal properties and needs gold energy to preserve it after being unearthed.
So he walked over, and before he could get closer, he heard someone talking and mentioning his name.
"Have you heard? Li Ziliang of Taisi Xianmen has taken on nine challenges and won all nine times. He has a very strong cultivation level in the four palaces of golden elixir. Now in Taisi Xianmen, he is second only to them in the limelight.
The Way."
"This person is indeed extraordinary. Some time ago, Taichu Li Youzhu reached a height of more than 500 feet. It is said that that is not his limit."
"He was also born at the wrong time. If there was no Zhang Siyun in Taisi Xianmen, this person should also be able to become a Taoist disciple."
"I heard that he has challenged Xu Qing, the quasi-taoist of the Eight Sects Alliance, three times. Xu Qing is obviously afraid. Most people from small places have such habits and dare not challenge him. Recently, all the sects have been laughing about it.
"
When Xu Qing heard this, he turned his head and glanced expressionlessly. The people talking about this matter were three disciples of the small sect who were attached to the Taisi Immortal Sect. Their cultivation was not high and they were just building foundations.
Xu Qing saw many such people.
Although their cultivation is ordinary, they are very keen to comment on the strong. It seems that their sense of existence can be found in the comments and the contempt of words.
Xu Qing glanced at the faces of the three people, then walked to the stall and pointed at the cordyceps plant.
The stall owner was a bald monk who was blind in one eye. The remaining eye glowed coldly. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Qing. He rolled up the herb with a wave of his hand and handed it to Xu Qing.
"This medicinal herb costs two thousand spiritual stones."
Xu Qing took the Cordyceps in his hand, inspected it, nodded and gave the spirit stone, put the Cordyceps away and asked.
"Is there any more?"
"Yes!" The stall owner's eyes lit up when he heard this. He took out a small clay bottle from his body, opened it carefully, took out three golden cordyceps, and handed it to Xu Qing.
But Xu Qing's eyes fell on this small clay bottle.
Generally speaking, the bottles used by monks are either made of jade, gold, iron, or wood, but it is rare to see them made of pure clay.
However, nourishing Cordyceps cordyceps requires golden energy, which made Xu Qing a little surprised. After careful inspection, he found that there was a faint sharp breath coming out of the small mud bottle.
"Is this gold energy contained here?" Xu Qing pointed at the vial.
The bald monk glanced at Xu Qing and grinned.
"Fellow Taoist, this is not ordinary gold energy here, but the Geng metal energy from the previous chapter emanating from the Taichu Liyou Pillar. It was obtained by a burst of luck when I climbed the Taichu Liyou Pillar."
"This energy can only be contained in mud and bricks. It is usually used to refine weapons for one-time use. I don't have a magical weapon yet, so I temporarily use it to nourish Cordyceps."
"You want to buy it? This thing is precious, half a million spiritual stones!"
The bald monk licked his lips. He saw that the person in front of him must be a monk from the sect. He had never bargained for Cordyceps before, so he must be rich.
Xu Qing pondered, he had heard something from the captain about the aura emanating from Taichu Li Youzhu, and it also contained the so-called Gengjin aura from the previous chapter.
This reminded him of his iron sign.
So after thinking deeply, Xu Qing took out the jade slip, put on a questioning posture, and then shook his head.
"I have inquired, and there should be a lot of people who have sold this spirit over the years. I can only buy it at most fifty thousand spiritual stones. If there are more, I won't buy it."
The bald man looked displeased. He was also in urgent need of spiritual stones to buy elixirs recently, and was planning to break through the Three Fire Foundation Building and enter the Heavenly Palace Golden elixir. He also set the price because he thought Xu Qing was rich.
But Xu Qing's counteroffer made him feel like he was joking, so just as he was about to shake his head, Xu Qing glanced at the bald head and suddenly spoke.
"I also have a Yun Gong Pill." Xu Qing said, taking out a pill bottle, which he bought before he was promoted to Tiangong Golden Pill. He didn't use it later, and its value is about 300,000 spiritual stones.
This elixir is helpful for promotion to the Heavenly Palace, and it is only sold in large quantities and cannot be purchased directly by casual cultivators.
The bald monk's expression condensed when he heard this. After taking it, he opened it and took a sip. His face moved slightly, hesitated, and nodded.
"make a deal!"
With that said, he handed the small clay bottle to Xu Qing, then immediately closed the stall and left.
Xu Qing took the small mud bottle, shook it and put it away. He planned to go back to the station to try it to see if it was effective against the iron sign.
At this moment, while walking towards the station, bursts of boiling sounds suddenly came from the distance in the direction of Taichu Liyouzhu.
Xu Qing raised his head, and what he saw in his eyes was the towering Taichu Liyou Pillar, where someone was climbing more than 500 feet.
This person is none other than the Taichu Immortal Sect's genius that he saw when he came here before. He is also the Li Ziliang that those people were talking about just now. He has challenged Xu Qing many times, but was ignored by Xu Qing.
At this moment, he surpassed the previous limit and reached the position of 600 feet, which aroused the discussion among the monks near Taichu Li Youzhu.
Some geniuses such as Huang Yikun and Qixuetong are only at a position of more than 200 feet.
Nowadays, whether it is the Eight Sects Alliance or other sects, the person who participates is the one who has the highest position. He suppresses the disciples of each sect and is in the limelight for a while.
Xu Qing looked normal and looked away.
He didn't pay attention to it and left Fangshi as he walked forward. When he was getting closer and closer to the headquarters of the Eight Sects Alliance, Xu Qing saw a Taoist altar.
There were many Taoist altars in Liyou City at the beginning of Taichu. Most of them were places where the practice of Dharma was taught, and they were all arranged by the Sword-holding Court.
Occasionally, sword holders will come and tell the story in person. Although it is not free, they only receive a spiritual stone as a token.
At this moment, there are dozens of casual cultivators outside the Taoist altar, but not many. Therefore, what is being described here is not the method of cultivation, but the way of vegetation.
In the distance, there was a hoarse and vicissitudes of sound coming from the Taoist altar.
"Green Lotus Dew, also known as Green Lotus Dew, is the bud of the lotus plant of the Nymphaeaceae family. It is a fragrant water obtained by a special method of warming fire. It has the function of calming the lungs and treating fire and coughing up blood..."
"Golden grass, also known as..."
Xu Qing paused. These two paragraphs were very familiar to him. They were the records of herbal medicines in his herbal classics, word for word.
His mind moved and he turned his head to look over.
At this glance, Xu Qing's whole body trembled, and his eyes showed a bright light.
He saw a thin old man.
This old man was wearing a gray robe. Although his face was very wrinkled, his eyes were bright and full of energy. There was depth in them, as if he contained wisdom, and his voice was pure and gentle.
Similar to Master Bai, but not the same.
Xu Qing's eyes dimmed a bit. He stood there and listened for a while, then left silently.
