After leaving Qinghu Qiu, Qin Shaoyou and Lao Hong first returned to Qinghu Town.
Originally, they just wanted to try to see if they could find their carriage, but when they got there, they discovered that the inn where they couldn't sleep was actually in ruins!
What's going on?
Qin Shaoyou was greatly surprised.
After some inquiring, he found out that one night about half a year ago, there was a thunderstorm, and more than 20 people in the entire inn were slaughtered overnight!
Someone familiar with the matter said that it seemed like a group of heavenly masters were responsible.
It rained heavily that night and thunder was rolling, and there was no sound of fighting at all.
When everyone woke up the next day, they found that the entire inn was covered in blood.
After hearing the news, the little fox girl's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.
"I have warned him a long time ago that if one day I am no longer here, he will immediately leave here anonymously..."
"He still didn't listen to me..."
The person the little fox lady refers to naturally refers to the shopkeeper.
It's a pity that the shopkeeper is used to making quick money, how could he stop so easily?
Of course, these are other stories and will not be detailed here.
As for Qin Shaoyou now, since the inn is gone, let alone finding a carriage.
"Master, where should we go next?"
Lao Hong asked.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a while, and then he paid attention in his heart.
A few days later.
Qingzhu City.
This city does not belong to the sphere of influence of any of the four major cultivating families, and it is also a "mysterious place" that ordinary people cannot reach. Around the Green Bamboo City, there is a large-scale Green Bamboo Mystery Array.
To put it bluntly, it is a bamboo forest.
When mortals enter here, most of them will be guided by the formation to go back the way they came. Some who are stubborn and want to take a look inside will be completely lost and trapped in it.
As time passed, those ordinary people no longer dared to try it easily.
In the bamboo forest, the mist is psychedelic and the water vapor is thick.
In the vague, white mist, two figures, an old man and a young man, appeared.
Among them, in the arms of the young man, there was a little fox.
"Lao Hong, don't tell me, this place is really quite hidden!"
Qin Shaoyou glanced at the city wall not far away and said with a faint smile.
This is the second training place he chose!
Although this place is well hidden, it is only for mortals. Within some large cultivating families, these places are not secrets at all.
Qin Shaoyou has been in the study room of Baiyun Villa for so long, so he naturally knows this place.
Moreover, what finally made him decide to come here was because Lao Hong had been here before.
"Hehehe, when I was traveling around the world, Lao Hong, I saw many more magical places than this one. Where did I end up..."
"However, although this place is not within the sphere of influence of any immortal cultivating family, after entering the city, the heavenly masters cannot attack each other at will, otherwise they will be attacked by a group!"
Lao Hong's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly reminded him.
Qin Shaoyou didn't take it seriously, but he still nodded.
In fact, many cities have such regulations. This can be regarded as a rare consensus among these immortal cultivators.
And because of this, Qin Shaoyou felt relieved to come here.
"Let's go in and have a look!"
Qin Shaoyou paused and then walked toward the city gate.
After finishing his training in Qinghu Qiu, Qin Shaoyou planned to come here to further search for clues about spiritual veins.
In this Xinghai Immortal Realm, although most of the immortal cultivators are heavenly masters who use star power to practice, there are also "ancient cultivators" like him who were born to open the Jade Gate, and there are also spiritual veins and spiritual energy.
It's just that the latter two are now very rare.
But rare cabinets are rare, and they are still available.
He found no records related to spiritual veins in his study room, so he had to go to places with many casual practitioners as much as possible to find clues that would be beneficial to his own cultivation.
There was no one guarding the city gate, and it seemed that people could enter and exit freely.
But in fact, there is a special formation underground just at the door, which can identify whether the people passing by are mortals without star power.
This is a double gravity array. Once a mortal enters it, his legs will feel like iron and lead, and he will not be able to move even half a step.
For these mortals who cannot pass the double gravity, the Green Bamboo Tracing Formation will teleport the person out and seal the person's memory, making them feel like they are just having a dream.
Qin Shaoyou and Lao Hong walked through this formation one after another. Although when Qin Shaoyou passed by, there seemed to be some waves on the towering green bamboos outside, but because Qin Shaoyou passed by in a flash, those waves just started to rise.
It quickly disappeared again.
He finally entered the city without any danger.
After entering the city, Qin Shaoyou's strange appearance holding a little fox in his arms quickly attracted the attention of some people. However, at this time, the little fox girl had no demonic elixir in her body, so she could not detect any demonic aura.
In addition, she hid her four tails under her body, so these people just glanced at it curiously at first, thinking it was just an ordinary spiritual pet, and didn't pay much attention.
On both sides of the main street of Qingzhu City, there are stalls lined up one after another. These are casual cultivators who sell some items that they have no need for the time being in exchange for the materials they urgently need.
In the world of cultivating immortals, this type of barter transaction is very common, especially for casual cultivators.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at the flowers, but he didn't find anything strange.
"Hey, this young hero, please stay!"
Qin Shaoyou was walking when he was suddenly stopped by a lean old man setting up a stall on the roadside.
He frowned slightly, but still stopped and turned his head to look over.
This man was very small, and he was so thin that he seemed to have only a layer of skin left. However, he was in good spirits and was looking at Qin Shaoyou with a smile on his face.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at his stall.
There were only a few worn and yellowed books on the stall, half a volume of jade slips, and four white stones used to hold down the rags in the stall.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Hey hey hey!"
The lean old man chuckled, rubbed his hands, then picked up a pornographic book from the stall, handed it to Qin Shaoyou and said:
"I am amazed at the young hero's skeleton and full sky seal. He must be a dragon or a phoenix among men!"
"This ancient book is really suitable for young heroes. All it needs is a low-grade star stone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several monks in the surrounding stalls couldn't help but let out disdainful laughter. Obviously, this guy had not said this to anyone.
Qin Shaoyou laughed quietly to himself.
This lean old man thought he was some young scapegoat and killed him.
He did not refuse immediately, but reached out and took the scroll from the lean old man's hand.
