After these words were spoken, the air seemed to be quiet for a moment.
However, Zhang Yu, who was speaking, was a rough man. He did not realize anything was wrong and continued talking.
"Since Senior Sister Xu entered the third level of foundation building, her ranking on the Azure Cloud Ranking has been as high as 160th. Senior Sister Shangguan advanced to the seventh level of foundation building last year, but her ranking is only 161st, right behind Senior Sister Xu..."
Zhang Yu was about to speak, but he opened his mouth wide and no sound came out.
It turned out that Zhuge Yun could no longer tolerate it and cast a silencing spell on him.
Zhang Yu was speechless. Seeing Brother Zhuge's dark face, he belatedly remembered the rumor that Brother Zhuge was deeply in love with Sister Shangguan.
Huo Chunyan and Zhao Xingsan, who had been winking at Zhang Yu, looked as if they had heard nothing.
Xu Chunniang, one of the parties involved, looked normal.
The Qingyun List ranking and the like may be of some reference value.
But even if the Tianji Pavilion can predict everything, it can only predict known things, which has its limitations. There is no need to pay too much attention to the ranking on this list.
Obviously, Zhuge Yun had the same idea and was very disdainful of the ranking on the Qingyun List.
"The so-called Qingyun Ranking is nothing more than a trick of the Tianji Pavilion. Junior Sister Shangguan is extremely talented and is not inferior to anyone else."
Anyone he mentioned naturally included Xu Chunniang.
After this episode, no one spoke on the way back to Hunyuan City, and everyone returned to Xiangyun Inn peacefully.
"Although we have gotten rid of the evil cultivator's trace, we should be cautious in everything. We will rest in Hunyuan City for a while. After three days, we will go to Fengku Mountain to look for the trace of the Yuan Devouring Beast. You can move freely during these three days."
After Zhuge Yun finished speaking, he walked towards his room, leaving the four of them staring at each other in bewilderment.
Zhang Yu finally found his voice again, "Brother Zhuge, are you... angry?"
Zhao Xingsan sighed lightly and patted his shoulder.
"Brother Zhuge is a well-known figure in Xuanjianfeng. Everyone knows that he only sees Sister Shangguan and will not tolerate anyone saying anything bad about her."
"Four years ago, Chunniang's ranking on the Qingyun Ranking surpassed Senior Sister Shangguan. Senior Brother Zhuge was dissatisfied with this and even caused trouble for Chunniang."
Huo Chunyan glanced at Zhang Yu sympathetically, "But later I heard that because of this incident, Senior Sister Shangguan severely reprimanded Senior Brother Zhuge. Since then, Senior Brother Zhuge has restrained himself a lot."
She originally thought that these were just false rumors, but Senior Brother Zhuge had not caused any trouble for Chunniang during the journey, so perhaps it was true.
"So that's how it is."
There was not much regret in Zhang Yu's eyes. Although Senior Sister Shangguan was very strong, Senior Sister Xu was not weak either.
The scene of Senior Sister Xu shooting through the two heads of the two-headed demon wolf was still vivid in his mind.
Senior Brother Zhuge is just acting according to his own preferences.
"By the way, do you want to go out together tomorrow and take a look around Hunyuan City?"
Huo Chunyan blinked and whispered to the others, "It's rare for me to come out. It's so boring to stay in the room."
Zhang Yu was stunned. "This... isn't good, right? But I don't have many talismans left. It's time to buy some materials."
Zhao Xingsan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, I sneaked out yesterday. As long as you keep a low profile in Hunyuan City, nothing will happen."
"That's right. There are so many Qi training disciples in Hunyuan City, and they are all safe and sound. If the four of us act together, who can kidnap us? I want to go and see if there are any suitable materials for refining weapons."
Xu Chunniang thought about it and did not object.
She had very few formation materials left and needed to replenish them urgently.
In addition, she wanted to try her luck and see if she could find any inheritance related to puppetry.
The Xiaoyao Sect does not attach much importance to puppetry, and the inheritance related to puppetry is very superficial and of no use at all.
If you want to obtain a better inheritance, you can only place your hope on this Hunyuan City.
On the second day, the four of them left Xiangyun Inn and went to a busy street a few blocks away.
Huo Chunyan saw a shop selling refining materials and couldn't take her eyes away. She walked up and asked about several types of materials.
After asking about the price, she walked back somewhat dejected.
"There are a lot of materials in Hunyuan City, but I don't have many spirit stones. Let's go to other stores to have a look."
Zhao Xingsan was an alchemist with considerable wealth. After entering a rather grand shop, he bought some precious spiritual herbs.
Zhang Yu and Xu Chunniang also bought some materials in this store.
Seeing Zhao Xingsan's extraordinary performance, the waiter's face was full of smiles.
"I wonder if you fellow Taoists have any other needs. Our store is one of the best in Hunyuan City, and the prices of spiritual items are fair to everyone."
Xu Chunniang's heart was slightly moved, "I wonder if your store has any inheritance related to puppetry?"
"this… "
The guy thought about it for a moment and finally told the truth.
"Of course there are some inheritances related to puppetry in the store, but they are just superficial. With the cultivation level of several Taoists, I'm afraid it won't be of much help."
Xu Chunniang was mentally prepared for this, so she naturally didn't look disappointed. She nodded and prepared to leave and go to other stores to ask.
But at this moment, the waiter called her.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Although we don't have what you want in our store, there was news that there will be a puppetry-related inheritance at the auction in the city in two days. I just don't know if this news is true or false."
"Auction?"
The clerk observed their expressions and found that they knew little about the auction, so he understood.
These cultivators have probably just arrived in Hunyuan City not long ago.
"There are auctions every month in the city, and many good things are sold at the auctions. Even every few years, there will be treasures like the Golden Yuan Pill, which attracts many cultivators to go there."
"Golden Yuan Pill!"
Zhao Xingsan exclaimed softly, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
As one of the five major sects, Xiaoyao Sect has only two or three people who can refine the Golden Yuan Pill.
I didn't expect that there would be such an alchemist in Hunyuan City.
"Not only the Jin Yuan Dan, but also other high-level spiritual tools and elixirs are also in abundance, even magic tools and some spiritual objects of heaven and earth are also available. But their prices are naturally not cheap."
Huo Chunyan was also tempted when she heard this. Even if she couldn't afford it, it would always be good to gain some experience.
"So how can I participate in this auction?"
"There are no restrictions for this auction. Anyone above the seventh level of Qi training can participate."
After they went out, they followed the waiter's instructions and walked to a dome-shaped hall to purchase doorplates to participate in the ranking meeting.
After paying twenty spirit stones, the four of them successfully got the door numbers.
It was just that because the auction was about to start, the number plates they got were not consecutive.
The result was that after the auction started two days later, the four were forced to disperse in different corners.
