After Xia Yan left the restaurant with Bai Rui, he went to Bai Rui's residence, handed the Flame Golden Crystal and Yiyuan Pill into Bai Rui's hands, and gave instructions on how to use these two items before leaving.
Before this, a total of four people, Xiao Qing, Yuan Shan, Su Qin, and Xia Changhe, the third elder of the Xia family, had used Flame Golden Crystal and Yiyuan Dan. None of them had any problems, so Xia Yan could leave without worries.
In the evening, Xia Yan and the three Xiaoqing girls had dinner together. After that, Xia Yan did not return to the Xia family's house, but went to the temple. During this period of time, Xia Yan had not appeared in the temple. This time he returned
Zi Yuecheng, of course, still wants to go to the temple to visit. No matter what, he now holds the position of the master of the temple.
In a room in the inner hall of the temple, Xia Yan sat cross-legged on the bed. In his mind, the second part of Lingluo's mental method kept reappearing. Xia Yan was already familiar with the content of the mental method. However, the content of the mental method was
Xia Yan still hasn't been able to unleash its power so far.
"The second part of this Lingluo Mind Technique, its ability is probably to swallow the spiritual power from the outside world. Although I have touched the door now, I can't capture the core of the Mind Technique. The spiritual power I am devouring now can only be used for recovery.
The spiritual energy consumed in the body does not help much in increasing one's own strength."
"Well, you should not rush for quick success in your cultivation. However, the life-and-death contest between me and Wang Dongji is approaching. If I can't understand the second part of this mental method, and can't step into the realm of the Spirit Emperor, I'm afraid I won't
Then Wang Dongji’s opponent, Wang Dongji, will definitely take the opportunity to kill me!”
After Xia Yan fell into trance for two hours, he slowly opened his eyes again, thinking to himself, there was a burst of light in his eyes, and then gradually disappeared and returned to normal.
"The bottleneck... I am now... reaching the bottleneck of cultivation!"
With a 'whoosh', Xia Yan stood up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked at a small garden outside.
Xia Yan is very clear that even if he sits there and meditates now, it will not be of much benefit to his own understanding and breakthrough. Generally, cultivators are unable to break through the bottlenecks on the road of cultivation in their lives. It is not because they do not work hard, but
It's a breakthrough, it's not just about meditating and entering concentration.
Three days later, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing.
At the south gate of the Holy City, several figures gradually became clearer.
"Xia Yan, this is the Holy City. Geez, I have been in Ziyue City for half a year, and this is the first time I can enter the Holy City." Bai Rui was wearing a white dress, her hair tied up, and her beautiful face had a
Smiling like a child, he was jumping in front of a few people.
Behind Bai Rui are Xia Yan, Xiao Qing, Yuan Shan, and Su Qin.
The four women were wearing long dresses of different colors, but each one of them was enough to make any man fall for her.
The five people arrived all the way from Ziyue City to the Holy City without using spiritual power to fly. Ziyue City is only a few dozen miles away from the Holy City. With the strength of the five people, this journey would not take much time even if they walked.
.
Bai Rui has long wanted to visit the Holy City, but because she is too weak and does not meet the conditions to enter the Holy City, she has never been able to do so. Today, she can finally get her wish, and Xia Yan is still with them.
"In this holy city, there are five major forces and dozens of families. Every family is a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. There are many great spiritual master practitioners on the street." Xia Yan nodded and looked not far ahead.
At the city gate, he said with a smile.
"Xia Yan, do you think we can go up to the Holy Mountain?" Su Qin looked to the horizon in the distance. From this place, if we don't fly, we can't see the Holy Mountain. But the direction Su Qin looked towards was the Holy Mountain.
direction.
Xia Yan pondered for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid not. Most people who want to go to the Holy Mountain must obtain the Holy Emperor's approval. Even the powerful Ling Sect requires the Holy Emperor's approval. On the Dragon Continent, the Ling Sect
There are so many strong people, but not many can climb the Holy Mountain. Even the dean of Purple Leaf College, Master Liu Yun, cannot climb the Holy Mountain at will."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we can't climb the Holy Mountain. Then we can spend a few days in the Holy City." Su Qin nodded, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Xia Yan.
"Well, just have fun for a few days." Xia Yan nodded with a smile.
Xia Yan has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation. If he only relies on meditation to enter concentration, it may be difficult to achieve a breakthrough. If he can put down all the burdens in his heart and enjoy traveling around, maybe he will be able to suddenly achieve a breakthrough at some point.
.
What Xia Yan needs for breakthrough is not spiritual power or state of mind, but an opportunity and a chance.
While they were talking, Xia Yan and others had already arrived at the gate of the Holy City. The guards in front of the gate were all powerful spiritual masters and powerful great spiritual masters. There were more than ten guards. When they saw Xia Yan and a few people approaching,
He immediately stepped forward.
"Please stop, do you have any Holy City tokens?" A great spiritual master guard captain stopped Xia Yan and others and asked politely.
The token he was talking about was a token unique to the Holy City. It was a token jointly produced by the five major forces to facilitate the entry and exit of some Holy City forces.
There are many people in the five major forces and dozens of families who have not reached the realm of great spiritual masters. Especially the female relatives in some families are more likely to be ordinary people with no spiritual power at all, or even a single martial arts meridians. They want to
When entering or leaving the Holy City, you need to carry a token.
In addition to tokens, there are of course many other ways to enter the Holy City. For example, high-level mercenaries, or staff of the Golden Dragon Palace, etc. If it is your first time to come to the Holy City, you can go under the guidance of the guards.
, conduct a strength assessment, and if you reach the realm of a great spiritual master, you can enter the Holy City.
Of course, if you are a strong person from the Ling Sect, you can fly in directly and don't need to go to the city gate at all.
With a smile on his face, Xia Yan glanced at the Lingluo ring and looked at his Tiangong cultivator token, the Golden Dragon Palace deacon token, and the Temple master token.
Each of these brands represents a very high status symbol.
After thinking about it, Xia Yan had a sudden thought, took out the token of the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace, and presented it to the guard.
"It turns out to be the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace. Sir, please come into the city!" When the guard saw the token, he immediately changed his expression slightly, saluted Xia Yan respectfully, and then moved out of the way behind him.
"Well, they are all my friends, come with me." Xia Yan pointed to the four women behind him and said to the guard captain.
"This is no problem, sir, please!" the guard captain said respectfully again.
The four girls smiled and watched Xia Yan talking to the guard, their eyes moving, and they stood in a row behind Xia Yan, looking very bright and beautiful.
"Thank you!" Xia Yan cupped his fist slightly at the guard captain, then turned around and said, "Let's go in."
Five people entered the holy city.
Seeing Xia Yan and others gradually disappear from sight, the guard captain breathed out slightly.
"Captain, that one just now is the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace?" A guard grinned and asked the guard captain with a smile.
"Well, he has the token of the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace." The guard captain nodded and said.
"You look very young, probably less than 20 years old. Being able to become the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace is really impressive." The guard shook his head slightly, clicked his tongue, and said in admiration.
"Yes, the twelve envoys of the Golden Dragon Palace and the one hundred and forty-four deacons are all powerful people. Even if they are not strong, they still have a big background. At least, there is an envoy of the Golden Dragon Palace behind them." The guard captain nodded and said.
"Definitely not very strong. He is so young and leads a group of women around all day long. How strong can he be? He spends all his time with women... Hehe, look at the four women following him. I
Oh my god, it's so beautiful. I only took one look at it, not a second time. It's hard to find a woman like this, but now four of them appeared at once!" The guard's eyes lit up as he exclaimed.
"Haha, Old Ding, don't talk nonsense. Although we are all in the realm of spiritual masters, we are not even in the holy city. We can only stand guard here. If you offend someone like the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace, I will definitely call you
It's over." Another guard smiled and said to the guard who just spoke.
"I won't say it anymore, but those women are so beautiful. If you can marry such a wife, it will be worth dying." The old Ding shouted and stopped talking, but he couldn't help but add
One sentence.
The others also had strange looks in their eyes, and they all had their own thoughts in their hearts, and they were jealous of Xia Yan's good luck.
"The streets of this holy city are wider than those of Ziyue City!"
"Look, that's the Great Spirit Master, with a mercenary medal hanging on his chest. Haha, I can feel the spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies."
"Sister Xiaoqing, why don't you speak?"
After Xia Yan and the four girls entered the city, they naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. Especially the four girls, all of them were beautiful and charming. Even those who were dedicated to cultivation could not help but be moved.
"Well... let's go to Zhenbao Pavilion and have a look!"
Xia Yan listened to the chirping voices of the women and inadvertently showed a wry smile on his face, then turned around and said to the four women.
"Jianbao Pavilion? What is that for sale?" Bai Rui immediately asked.
"Well, it's some jewelry used by women, makeup and so on." Xia Yan has only heard of the Zhenbao Pavilion in the Holy City, he has never been there. This Zhenbao Pavilion only does business in the Holy City, and the money earned by those families
The money of the female relatives.
The families in the Holy City are all very wealthy. What the women in the family like most is to dress themselves up. This Treasure Pavilion is a place they often visit. The reason why Xia Yan knows this place is because he saw it accidentally
Yes, but he had never entered before.
"Then let's go take a look and see what is sold there. If there are beautiful jewelry, we can also buy some and wear them." Su Qin said immediately.
