After Xia Yan took Bai Rui out of the restaurant. Then he arrived at 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, Xiaoqing, Yuan Shan, Su Qin, and Xia Changhe, the third elder of the Xia family, had all used Flame Golden Crystal and One Yuan Pill, and none of them had any problems, so Xia Yan could leave first with peace of mind.
In the evening, Xia Yan had dinner with Xiaoqing and the three daughters. After that, Xia Yan did not return to Xia's house, but went to the temple. During this period of time, Xia Yan hadn't appeared in the temple, so when he returned to Ziyuecheng this time, he would naturally go to the temple to see it. In any case, he now holds the position of Lord of the Temple.
In a room in the inner hall of the temple, Xia Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, and the second part of Lingluo's mental method kept reappearing in his mind. Xia Yan has already been familiar with the content of the mental method. It's just the power of the mind. Xia Yan has not been able to show it until now.
"The ability of the second part of this Lingluo mental method is probably mainly to devour the spiritual power of the outside world. Although I have touched the gate now, I can't capture the core of the mental method. I devour spiritual power now and can only use it to recover The spiritual power consumed in the body does not help much in increasing one's own strength."
"Well, one should not be eager for quick success and quick gains in the process of cultivation. However, the date of my life-and-death battle with Wang Dongji is almost here. If I can't comprehend the second part of this mental method, and I can't step into the realm of the Linghuang, I'm afraid I won't That Wang Dongji opponent. Wang Dongji will definitely take the opportunity to kill me!"
After two hours of meditation, Xia Yan slowly opened his eyes again, thinking to himself, there was a burst of brilliance in his eyes, and then gradually disappeared and returned to normal.
"The bottleneck... I am now... I have reached the bottleneck of cultivation!"
With a 'huh', 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 just sits there and settles down, it won't be of much benefit to his comprehension and breakthrough. Ordinary cultivators are unable to break through the bottleneck on the road of cultivation in their whole life. It is not because they do not work hard, but because they break through. It’s not as simple as just sitting in meditation.
Three days later, the sun was shining and the wind was blowing.
At the south gate of the holy city, several figures gradually became clear.
"Xia Yan, this is the holy city. Hehe, 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 long white dress, her hair was tied up, and her beautiful face had With a childlike smile, he jumped up and down and walked in front of several people.
Behind Bai Rui is Xia Yan, Xiaoqing, Yuan Shan, and Su Qin.
The four girls wore long skirts of different colors, but each of them was enough to make any man fall in love with them.
The five of them traveled all the way from Ziyue City to the Holy City without using their spiritual power to fly. Ziyue City is only a few tens of miles away from the Holy City. With the strength of five people, even walking this distance would not take much time.
Bai Rui has long wanted to visit the Holy City, but because her strength is too weak, she does not meet the conditions to enter the Holy City. Has not been able to do so. Today, they finally got their wish, and Xia Yan was with them.
"In this holy city, there are five major forces and dozens of families. Every family is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are many great spiritual master practitioners on the street." Xia Yan nodded and looked not far ahead. The city gate at the place, said with a smile.
"Xia Yan, do you think we can go up to the holy mountain?!" Su Qin looked at the distant sky. In this place, if you don't fly, you can't see the holy mountain. However, the direction Su Qin looked at was the direction where the holy mountain was located.
Xia Yan pondered for a while, then frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid not. Most people have to get the approval of the Holy Emperor if they want to go to the Holy Mountain. Even the strong of the Spiritual Sect need the approval of the Holy Emperor. The Spiritual Sect on the Dragon Continent There are so many strong people, but not many can climb the holy mountain. Even the principal of Ziye College, Master Liu Yun, can't just climb the holy mountain at will."
"Well, it doesn't matter if we can't climb the holy mountain, then we will play in the holy city for a few days." Su Qin nodded her head, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and said to Xia Yan.
"Well, just have fun for a few days." Xia Yan smiled and nodded.
Xia Yan encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he only relied on meditation to settle down. It would be difficult to make a breakthrough. If you can let go of all the burdens in your heart and enjoy the mountains and rivers, maybe at a certain moment, you will suddenly get a breakthrough.
What Xia Yan needs for a breakthrough is neither spiritual power nor state of mind, but an opportunity, an opportunity.
While speaking, Xia Yan and the others had already arrived at the gate of the holy city. The guards in front of this gate are composed of strong spiritual masters and great spiritual masters. More than a dozen guards immediately stepped forward when they saw Xia Yan and the others approaching.
"Please stop, how many of you have the holy city token?!" A great spiritual master guard captain stopped Xia Yan and others, and asked politely.
The token he was talking about was a brand unique to the holy city. It was a kind of token jointly made by the five major forces to facilitate the entry and exit of some holy city forces.
Among the five major forces and dozens of families, there are many people who have not reached the realm of great spiritual masters. Especially the female relatives of some families, they are more likely to be ordinary people who have no spiritual power at all, or even a single martial arts meridian, and they want to enter and leave the holy city. It is 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 the staff of the Golden Dragon Palace, etc. If it is the first time to come to the holy city, you can conduct a strength assessment under the guidance of the guards. If you reach the level of a great spiritual master, you can enter the holy city.
Of course, if you are a strong spirit sect, you can fly in directly without going through the city gate at all.
Xia Yan had a smile on his face. Consciousness glanced at the Lingluo ring, and looked at his Tiangong cultivator's token, as well as the deacon's token of the Golden Dragon Palace, and the hall master's token.
Each of these brands represents a very high status symbol.
After thinking about it, Xia Yan moved his mind, took out the token of the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace, and gave it to the guard.
"It turns out to be the deacon of the Golden Dragon Palace, my lord, please enter the city!" Seeing the token, the guard 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 girls behind him, and said to the captain of the guard.
"There is no problem with this, my lord please!" The captain of the guard said respectfully again.
The four girls watched Xia Yan talking to the guard with a smile, their eyes shifted, and they stood in a row behind Xia Yan, looking very bright.
"Thank you!" Xia Yan cupped his fists slightly at the captain of the guard, then turned around and said, "Let's go in."
Five people stepped into the holy city.
Seeing Xia Yan and the others gradually disappear from sight, the captain of the guard let out a slight breath.
"Captain, that one just now was 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 Hall." The captain of the guard nodded.
"It looks very young, probably less than twenty years old. It's really amazing to be a deacon of the Golden Dragon Hall." The guard shook his head slightly, clicked his tongue, and said in admiration.
"Yes, the twelve envoys of the Golden Dragon Hall and the one hundred and forty-four deacons are all powerful figures. Even if their own strength is not strong, they still have a great background. At least. There is an envoy of the Golden Dragon Hall behind them." The captain of the guard nodded and said.
"Surely not too strong, so young, and still leading a group of women around all day, how strong is it? Time is spent on women... Hehe, look at the four women following him. My God, it's so beautiful, I only took one look and didn't take a second look. It's hard to find such a woman, but now there are four of them at once!" The guard's eyes lit up and he exclaimed.
"Hehe, old Ding, don't talk nonsense. Although we are all spiritual masters, we are not even a fart 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 spoke just now.
"I won't talk anymore, but those women are so beautiful. If you can marry such a daughter-in-law, death is worth it." The old man shouted to stop talking, but he still couldn't help adding said a word.
The others also had strange eyes, each with their own thoughts, jealous of Xia Yan's good luck.
…
"The streets of this holy city are wider than the streets of Ziyue City!"
"Look, that's the great spiritual master, with a mercenary medal hanging on his chest. Hehe, I can feel the fluctuation of their spiritual power."
"Sister Xiaoqing, why don't you speak?!"
After Xia Yan and the four girls entered the city, they naturally attracted the attention of many people. Especially the four girls, all of them are bright and charming, even those who are dedicated to cultivation, I'm afraid they can't help but be moved.
"Hmm... let's go to the Treasure Pavilion!"
Hearing the chirping voices of the girls, Xia Yan inadvertently showed a wry smile on his face, then turned around and said to the four girls.
"Zhenbao Pavilion? What's that for sale?!" Bai Rui immediately asked.
"Well, it's jewelry, makeup, etc. used by some women." Xia Yan has only heard of the Treasure Pavilion in the Holy City, and he has never been there. This Zhenbao Pavilion only does business in the holy city, and earns money from the women of those families.
The families in the holy city are all very wealthy, and the female family members in the family usually like to dress themselves up the most. This Treasure Pavilion is the place they often visit. The reason why Xia Yan knew this place was because he had seen it by accident, but he had never entered it before.
"Then let's all go and see what is sold there. If there are beautiful accessories, we can buy some and wear them." Su Qin said immediately.
