At an unknown time, he vaguely saw a woman in white clothes in the dark place of the shop again, like a Peking opera singer, with her hands raised to the right with long sleeves fluttering, maintaining this posture motionless. ↗, slowly drifting past the door.
But Wang Meng, who was standing beside him, didn't see it at all.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" Lin Xin's eyes flashed a ruthless look, and he waved his hand. "Fire me! Burn it!"
"yes!"
A group of big men got impatient for a long time. Hearing this, those with flints took out flints one after another. Some people picked up dry wooden sticks nearby, wrapped them in cloth, lit them with candles in lanterns, and started to set fire to the clothing store in all directions. .
The fire gradually lit up a dark street around here.
Ever since strange things happened to this clothing store, many of the surrounding owners have moved out. Later, for some reason, even the surrounding houses were demolished, leaving only a lonely shop.
Seeing the flames burning higher and higher, Lin Xin took out more than a dozen resentment talismans from his skin bag, injected his inner energy and threw them into the side door.
Amidst the clattering sound, more than a dozen resentment talismans were ignited by the fire and turned into ashes almost instantly.
And at this moment, two figures suddenly rushed out of the clothing store.
One was Shu Luoyi, she was just pale, and she was changed into a bright red dress at some point.
The other Yu Chang fell into a coma as soon as he jumped out.
Lin Xin went up to take a look and found that this guy was covered with a lot of white threads all over his body. The densely packed white threads pierced dozens of holes from his shoulders, and traces of blood were faintly leaking out of the holes.
Wang Meng hurried forward to help Yu Chang to check the situation.
"It's nothing serious, it's just that I lost too much blood." He turned around and reported.
Lin Xin nodded, and took a picture of Yu Chang's poison-avoiding talisman and a Ganlin talisman, and then looked at Shu Luoyi, who was still awake.
"Good job!" Shu Luoyi stared at the clothing store bitterly. "Sifang Yin Gathering Formation, great handwriting! I almost couldn't get out!"
"Sifang Yin Gathering Formation?" Lin Xin heard this name for the first time, and he didn't find the name of this formation even in the books of the formation hall.
"It's a very evil formation. If you hadn't ignited the fire to raise Yang Qi, and added a stack of resentment talismans to break the formation, Yu Chang and I would probably be trapped in it." Shu Luoyi took out one by herself. From the small bottle, he took two bright red pills and swallowed them.
"Sure enough, it's the Sifang Yin Gathering Formation... .. Alas..." Suddenly a sigh sounded from behind the two of them.
Lin Xin turned around and saw three young Taoists in Taoist robes walking slowly. Among them, the one walking in front had a small black beard, a black tight band on his head, and a long white long sleeve as thin as a finger on his back. sword. It is not so much a sword as a thorn.
"I'm Zhao Hongtian, Junior Sister Shu, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you're well." The mustache Taoist greeted with a smile.
"So it's Senior Brother Zhao." Shu Luoyi's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hands in greeting. "Brother Zhao isn't cultivating the Jade Light Sword in the sect, why is he suddenly free to visit Peacock City?"
"Isn't this also a mission from Peacock City, come here to relax?" Zhao Hongtian replied very kindly.
Seeing Shu Luoyi's appearance, Lin Xin knew that the person in front of him must have some background, either because of his extraordinary strength or because of his deeper background. I also hurriedly bowed my hands as a salute.
Zhao Hongtian smiled and introduced the two younger brothers behind him, one was Ling Chun and the other was Ling Yun, they were cousins, but judging from their respectful expressions, they were obviously his confidantes.
Shu Luoyi also introduced Xia Linxin and Yu Chang who was unconscious on the ground.
At this time, the flames of the fire faintly attracted the officers and soldiers of Peacock City, and there were constant shouts of firefighting from a distance.
"This is not a place to talk, let's change it." Lin Xin suggested.
"Also."
Zhao Hongtian nodded.
The group found a restaurant and opened a large private room to sit in.
At night, there were not many people coming and going to drink and eat, and the restaurant seemed quiet and deserted, which was a good time for conversation.
After letting Xiao Er serve a table of wine and food, Lin Xin ordered a pot of plum blossom honey drink, but he didn't drink, and sipped slowly on his own.
Yu Chang also woke up at this time, and was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed to adjust his breath. The silk thread piercing on his shoulder was also removed, and it took a full three talismans to remove the evil poison on it.
"Wang Meng and the others are guarding here, so we can speak with confidence," Lin Xin said.
Zhao Hongtian looked at Shu Luoyi with a smile on his face.
"Sifang Yin Gathering Formation. Junior Sister, have you discovered something good? Otherwise, with your temperament, you wouldn't have personally drilled into this strange formation."
Shu Luoyi smiled coldly.
"Brother Zhao should also be clear in his heart that there are as many risks as there are benefits. You may know what I want. It's just that I'm afraid that if I say it, you won't dare to take it."
She picked up a cup of plum blossom honey in front of her and drank it in one gulp.
"Since the Sifang Yin Gathering Formation has come out, things have become serious. This is a densely populated area. If something big happens, no one can afford it. So the sect should know soon. What we have to do now, Just before the sect arrives, get the first place!"
"Speaking of it, junior sister should be more straightforward, what exactly do you want?" Zhao Hongtian asked with a half-smile.
"Human face fruit!" Shu Luoyi didn't hide it this time, and directly said a name that Lin Xin had never heard of.
As soon as these words were uttered, Zhao Hongtian and Yu Chang's face immediately changed. Lin Xin and the other two didn't know what it was. But looking at the faces of several people, they all know that it is definitely a treasure of no small importance.
"Below the fifth level of Qi refining, regardless of any situation, you can forcibly increase the realm of the user's internal energy. This is just an ordinary human face fruit. If you encounter a double-headed human face fruit... you can improve it even more!" Shu Luoyi There was a gleam of scorching heat in his eyes.
Lin Xin's heart was also moved at this time.
Now he is stuck on the innate threshold and can't get over it. The inner energy condensed by the blood pill method is slower than that of ordinary disciples, and even the effect of yin blood is a bit worse than that of ordinary disciples.
Although he will not encounter a bottleneck for a while, but judging from the current speed of cultivation, he has no idea whether he can break through to Qi training and stay in the sect in the remaining nine and a half years.
Xiaogui Yuanjue must be practiced to the peak of the ninth level, and only after breaking through the tenth level can one enter Qi training.
Not to mention the method of blood pills, it is even more difficult for some genius disciples to break through this level, and it is normal for geniuses to stay for a year or two.
If he reaches this level and wants to break through, the difficulty will be even more terrifying.
"When the inner qi overflows, a trace of innate inner qi will naturally be bred. After entering the innate qi, you can rely on this ray of innate qi to start transforming the body's own structure. Prepare for the further qualitative transformation of the new aura during the qi refining period." Yu Chang's eyes showed longing. , "If there is a human-faced fruit... the legend has a trace of innate energy, even if we just share the food, we can easily break through the innate!"
"Innate?" A trace of contempt flashed in Zhao Hongtian's eyes. "The biggest benefit of the human face fruit is not to break through mere innateness, but to break through Qi training."
"What? Brother Zhao isn't tempted at all?" Shu Luoyi looked at him in confusion.
"Hehehe... Human face fruit, who doesn't want it? Junior sister, tell me, if you need help for brother, just ask!" Zhao Hongtian patted his chest readily.
"We need brother Zhao's help now." Shu Luoyi said with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "I caught a six-winged bee here, and I'm about to lead it to find the beekeeper behind the scenes! It just so happens that Brother Zhao is very powerful, and he can lead the team for us!"
Zhao Hongtian's face was full of smiles just now, but when he heard the word six-winged bee, his smile froze instantly.
The change is so fast that even a well-informed modern person like Lin Xin is a little stunned.
"Six wings... bee...?" Zhao Hongtian's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. "Shu... Junior Sister Shu, you are not so courageous..."
"Senior brother, I'm overwhelmed." Shu Luoyi sneered.
Zhao Hongtian's face became cramped, and he just patted his chest to reassure him, but when he heard the six-winged bee, it suddenly shrank like a frosted eggplant.
For a while, no one spoke in the private room.
The two subordinates brought by Zhao Hongtian also seemed to have heard about the six-winged bee, and their complexions were a little pale at this time.
"Brother Zhao... why don't we go back to the sect? This matter is too involved, it's not up to us to be the master..."
One said in a low voice.
"Going back to the sect... yes, this matter should be decided by the seniors of the sect. If we get involved at will, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." Zhao Hongtian nodded quickly.
He stood up and walked around the room a few times.
"It's not too late, I'll go back right away, Junior Sister Shu, I would like to advise you, don't act rashly. This matter involves too much, and it's not something you and I can afford."
Shu Luoyi just sneered.
Yu Chang was a little frightened, showing a look of hesitation.
Lin Xin probably understood something at this time.
Obviously, although this matter is hugely involved, before the senior sect masters get involved, before the situation escalates, no one can say anything if they take the lead first.
Shu Luoyi obviously wanted to make up for this time difference. After the Zongmen's indictment came down, she could also reason that she didn't know that the situation would develop so fast. As long as it's done up and down, it's not a big problem.
In the so-called wealth and danger, even if you don't use the human face fruit, you can make a lot of money by exchanging it to the brothers and sisters in the Qi refining period.
Shu Luoyi wanted to gamble, but Zhao Hongtian didn't even have the guts to gamble, so it's no wonder that Shu Luoyi looked down on him.
Zhao Hongtian hurriedly left with the two of them.
The three of Lin Xin didn't go to see him off, they still stayed in the room to rest.
"Zhao Hongtian's parents are both seniors of the Zongmen's Foundation Establishment Stage, and they are the deacons of the Sword Hall. Their strength has been mentioned by his family with various means, and they are now around the fifth floor. They are also well-known figures in Xiantian. It's a pity. It's just a little too timid." Shu Luoyi said disdainfully.
"What should I do next?" Lin Xin asked with a frown. "And if there is only one human face fruit, how to divide it?"
"There can't be only one human face, usually there will be five, arranged according to the five elements, you can rest assured." Shu Luoyi said with confidence, "As for the next step, it depends on where our little bee can take us ?”
She mentioned the six-winged bee in her hand that has never left her body, and said meaningfully.
