,.
Niu Youdao and Yuanfang have already rested. Everyone rested early today. They have to recharge their batteries before setting off tomorrow.
They say they are taking a break, but they are actually sitting cross-legged and meditating.
With the help of Lingyuan Pill, Yuanfang clearly noticed that the progress of cultivation has accelerated.
The reason is very simple. In addition to absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you can also absorb the spiritual energy in the Lingyuan Pill at the same time. It would be strange if the progress is not accelerated.
But Niu Youdao's cultivation progress is faster. Others absorb the spiritual energy and transform it into the original source, but he directly integrates the original source of Dongguo Haoran into his own.
After his cultivation broke through to the foundation-building realm, he clearly felt that the speed of integrating Dongguo Haoran's origin suddenly accelerated. So far along the way, all the third half-existing talismans of transmission have been refined by him and are already being refined. The fourth way.
Compared with the peak of Qi refining that can be reached by refining two Dharma amulets during the Qi refining period, Niu Youdao has noticed that the realm storage capacity in the foundation building period is far greater than that in the Qi refining period. This is not surprising, it is understandable, it would be strange if it was similar to the Qi refining period. But the problem is, after Niu Youdao made some calculations, he didn't know if the remaining thirty Dharma amulets in his body could be refined to reach the final stage of foundation building. It should be no problem to reach the middle stage.
Dongguo Haoran used to be a master at the Golden Core stage, but he was seriously injured when he was teaching the method, and his cultivation was too depleted, so he couldn't give him all the cultivation at the Golden Core stage.
But then again, if Dongguo Haoran's cultivation is complete, it means that there is nothing wrong, and there is probably no such thing as teaching.
In worldly matters, what is said is that there are gains and there are losses, it is nothing more than that!
Dong Dong, there was a knock on the door.
The two people sitting cross-legged and facing each other on the two couches opened their eyes at the same time. I wonder who came knocking on the door at night
Without letting anyone come in directly, Yuanfang stayed and ran to the door to open the door to see what was going on. When he came back, he told him, "Master Dao, he is a waiter at the inn. I met him at the counter in the lobby before. He said he wanted to see you if I had something to do."
"Oh, please come in." Niu Youdao nodded. He believed that under normal circumstances no one would dare to cause trouble in Yaoyue Inn.
Yuanfang went back and opened the door again, letting the waiter in. It was Lao Gou who came.
Upon learning that this man had met with the city lord today, the old dog looked very polite, bowing and nodding, "Your Majesty, our shopkeeper is here to invite you."
"Shopkeeper?" Niu Youdao thought of their interactions during the day and smiled: "I wonder why I summoned you?"
The old dog smiled and said: "It's not a summons. The shopkeeper said he would like to invite the guest to have tea."
"Tea?" Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, then asked him to have tea properly? He didn't quite believe it, something must have happened.
He put down his feet on the bed, stood up, pulled his clothes, and said hoarsely: "Master has invited me, how dare I refuse to do so." He waved his hand to indicate that he was leaving.
Yuan Fang immediately followed, but the old dog stretched out his hand to stop Yuan Fang and said apologetically: "The shopkeeper said, only one guest will be invited."
"Oh!" Niu Youdao's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said: "Okay, you can stay here." He waved his hand to Yuanfang to stay.
Yuan Fang immediately brought his sword and offered it to him, asking him to wear it for self-defense.
Niu Youdao pushed it back, shook his head, and left.
He knew in his heart that if the shopkeeper really wanted to deal with him at Yao Yue Inn, it would be useless to bring a sword. It would be better to act openly and openly.
The two of them left the room, and the old dog led them all the way, taking Niu Youdao to the top floor of the inn, and knocked on the shopkeeper's door.
When he entered, he saw the shopkeeper already sitting there making tea. Niu Youdao looked at him and smiled. The shopkeeper waved his hand to scare away the old dog, and then extended his hand to the opposite side, gesturing for Niu Youdao to sit down.
Niu Youdao looked at the room. The furnishings were simple, and he judged in his mind that this was just a place for the other party to stay, not a destination.
After walking to the opposite side and sitting down, Niu Youdao asked with a smile: "The shopkeeper summoned me, do you have any advice?"
The shopkeeper pointed to the tea stove where the water had not boiled yet and said with a smile: "Drink tea!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing full well that drinking tea was just an excuse. Niu Youdao cupped his hands and said, "I don't know the shopkeeper's name yet."
The fair-skinned shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "Baiyulou! Anyone who often spends time in this city should know about it."
Niu Youdao clapped gently and exclaimed: "What a name, what a name!"
Bai Yulou chuckled and said, "I wonder which sect Brother Xuanyuan is a disciple of?"
Niu Youdao shook his head and said, "He's just a wandering cultivator."
"Rogue cultivator?" Bai Yuloupi said with a smile: "One hundred thousand gold tickets are given away casually without blinking an eye. This is not like the courage that a casual cultivator can have. This magnanimity is even inferior to Bai's. !" These words made it clear that he did not believe that the other party was a casual cultivator.
The next behavior became more and more like this. He took out ten golden tickets and pushed them directly to Niu Youdao. The other party refused to tell the truth, so he didn't dare to keep the money anymore.
He was puzzled as to why he had been so obsessed with accepting the money before, and was so frightened. After thinking about it, he may not be able to take a liking to someone with hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but he can also face it rationally with someone with ten thousand or twenty thousand. It is true that the opponent's attack was too harsh. It cost him one hundred thousand gold coins in one fell swoop. Suddenly, he was killed. Hold it in.
Niu Youdao was surprised: "Shopkeeper, what does this mean?"
Bai Yulou: "The gift is too heavy. I'm just an innkeeper, so I can't help you. I really deserve it and I can't bear it!"
Niu Youdao said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether it's wind or rain! It's the road you walk and you make friends. I just hope there will be less bumps on the road. I have never thought about asking for anything, and I never take the initiative to cause trouble to my friends. The shopkeeper I’m overthinking it. If you think this money is hot and someone is plotting something evil, it’s easy to deal with it!”
He cast a spell and directly reached out to grab the hot teapot, picked up the 100,000 gold note from the table and was about to throw it into the charcoal stove.
Depend on! Bai Yulou twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly reached out to grab Niu Youdao's wrist.
The two looked at each other. Niu Youdao slowly pressed the teapot back onto the charcoal stove. Bai Yulou also slowly let go of his wrist and sighed: "Brother, just take it back. Wouldn't it be a pity to burn a hundred thousand gold coins like this? Outside? How many casual cultivators have worked hard for one hundred thousand gold coins."
He was convinced by this person, and he burned one hundred thousand gold coins at will.
The golden ticket was put back on the table, and Niu Youdao pushed it back in front of him, letting the other party deal with it.
Bai Yulou did not take over and asked calmly: "Do you have any friendship with the Liuxian Sect?"
"Liuxian Sect?" Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party knew his true identity, and secretly exclaimed.
He has not come into contact with many people in the practice so far. He thinks that no one in this city knows him. It seems that the power behind this city is really powerful, far beyond his imagination. If he has the chance, he should take a closer look. The context within it.
He was vaguely worried. Could it be that the Liuxian Sect was also one of the forces under Luo Qiu? He asked back: "The shopkeeper is talking about the Liuxian Sect of Yan State?"
Bai Yulou: "As far as I know, there is only one sect in the world called Liuxian Sect."
Niu Youdao: "It's strange that I don't know much about Liuxian Sect. We can't have any friendship, but we do have hatred." He still didn't want to reveal his details.
"Have a grudge?" Bai Yulou raised his eyes and seemed to understand something. The tea on the stove was boiling. He held the pot and poured a cup for each other and asked, "What's going on?"
Judging from the other party's attitude, it seems that he is overthinking! Niu Youdao said slowly: "It's nothing. Several disciples of Liuxian Sect died in my hands. Why did the shopkeeper mention Liuxian Sect so well?"
Bai Yulou probably knew what was going on, and reminded him lightly: "I'm afraid I have to be careful about the people around me."
Niu Youdao narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you say that?"
"People from the Liuxian Sect have moved into the inn. Two of them, one named Huang Enping and the other named Cui Yuan, are both from the Liuxian Sect's shop in the city." Bai Yulou reminded.
Niu Youdao immediately served him tea and waited for his next words.
Bai Yulou raised his glass in response and took a sip of tea, "Star Reaching City has a transcendent status. There are some things that have nothing to do with the inn. I shouldn't say more, but for the sake of making the city lord happy today, I will." Say a few words. Lei Zongkang must know that you guys had dinner together tonight. After the people from the Liuxian Sect checked in at the inn, they had secretly met Lei Zongkang twice, once during the day and once at the hotel. Not long after your dinner. I don’t know the specific situation, that’s all for now.”
Niu Youdao, who put the tea cup to his lips, slowly sipped the tea, his eyes flickering strangely, wondering what he was thinking about.
After his thoughts settled and he came to his senses, Niu Youdao raised his glass with both hands, then raised his head and took a sip of the tea to express his gratitude.
Bai Yulou raised his glass and took a sip, thinking for a moment.
Niu Youdao held the pot and helped him fill it up, "I will remember this sentiment. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay you generously! No matter whether the shopkeeper treats me as a friend or not, I will keep my word and will never cause trouble to my friends." . Tonight, if someone here from my side meets with people from the Liuxian Sect again, how about the shopkeeper asking the waiter to deliver a jar of wine to my room? If it’s troublesome, forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything. "
Bai Yulou didn't agree or refuse. He took the tea and sipped it slowly. This was also his attitude.
So Niu Youdao stopped talking and changed the topic, "This tea is good..."
After the two chatted casually for a while, Niu Youdao stood up and resigned, "I will leave Star Reaching City tomorrow, so I would like to say goodbye first!"
Bai Yulou raised the tea cup and said, "I won't give it away!"
Niu Youdao nodded and turned around.
Bai Yulou glanced sideways at the ten golden tickets on the case, smiled slightly, and muttered, "This guy is a bit interesting."
The door opened, and the old dog came in. He also saw ten large gold tickets on the table, and asked in surprise: "This is it?"
Bai Yulou shook his head and said: "I saw that he made the city lord happy today, so I reminded him casually. Who would have thought that he actually had a grudge against the Liuxian Sect, so he threw down a hundred thousand gold coins to express his gratitude."
"Ah!" The old dog clicked his tongue and shook his head, "This guy is so generous!"
Bai Yulou picked up five of them and pushed them in front of him, "I accidentally picked up a piece of extra wealth. Everyone has worked hard. Let's take it and let the brothers share it."
The old dog was not polite, he took it in his hand and said, "Then I will thank you on behalf of the brothers."
"Do your own thing." Bai Yulou waved his hand.
After the old dog left happily, Bai Yuloufang picked up the five golden tickets on the table, shook them and sighed, he was supposed to keep them all, but in the blink of an eye, half of them were missing.
However, after converting and handling this windfall in this way, he no longer had any worries. It didn't matter even if the manager knew about it. He put the remaining five pieces into his bag with peace of mind, and the tea tasted much better... .
