Chapter 2292
Of course, this dark thought only flashed through his mind!
After all, Xiao Hua was an Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and he did not have the confidence to win. Moreover, Xiao Hua had already gone deep into the cave, and he really could not explain anything!
"Oh, Fellow Daoist!"
The city guard immediately changed his tone and said anxiously, "It's all my fault, please take your time, take your time!"
With that, the city guard's figure fluttered and chased after Xiao Hua.
"What did you do wrong, it's all I's fault!" Xiao Hua ignored him and continued walking.
"Senior Brother, please don't leave, if you leave … I won't be able to keep my life!" The city guard was almost crying!
His tone was pleading.
"Oh?"
When Xiao Hua heard that it was related to his life, he stopped and turned his head and said coldly, "Now you know you're wrong?"
The city guard was a little surprised. After all, Xiao Hua was the same as him, an Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and Xiao Hua's face was very young, only about 75 years old. He was not even comparable to his martial nephew.
However, Xiao Hua's tone was more dignified than his master's!
For a moment, the city guard almost treated Xiao Hua as a senior in the Golden Core realm.
"Yes, it's indeed my fault!"
The city guard shook his head slightly and came back to his senses. He said more respectfully, "I shouldn't have been so … disrespectful to you!"
"You're wrong!" Xiao Hua waved his hand and shook his head, "It's not that you're disrespectful to I, I don't like it!
It's … your opinion of my Imperial Thunder Sect's disciples! "
"This …" The city guard was a little puzzled, and he really could not understand.
"My Imperial Thunder Sect's disciples came to Sky Patrol City not to take advantage of your city, nor to tour the mountains and rivers.
We're here to fight with sword cultivators!
Your Sky Patrol City provides places for alchemy and weapon refinement, that's what you should do! "Xiao Hua said unceremoniously," These things shouldn't require any Spirit Stones!
Not only did your Sky Patrol City ask for Spirit Stones, but you also have the face to treat my Imperial Thunder Sect's disciples!
What do you mean this is the Sky Patrol City's territory and we can't trespass?
Can we enter at will with Spirit Stones?
Is trespassing without Spirit Stones trespassing? "
"Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist!"
The city guard hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This matter is too serious. This lowly one is only a city guard, but because my cultivation is higher, I was sent here to guard the pill refining cave. This lowly one doesn't understand a single word you're saying!
However, since I have offended you just now, the fee for entering the Pill Refinement Cave can be reduced.
But if he doesn't accept a single Spirit Stone, then I'll have to fork it out myself!
Please be magnanimous! "
"Well, that's more like it!"
Xiao Hua was very satisfied in his heart. After asking about the amount, he took out the spirit stones and handed them over. He then asked, "After I finish repairing the artifact, I still want to find a place to practice alchemy. Do I still need to pay spirit stones?"
"Oh, there's no need!"
The city guard smiled apologetically and said, "I'll let you know, Fellow Daoist, the pill refinement location is the same as the weapon refinement location!
Fellow Daoist, you only need to open a quiet room, and you will even have the materials to refine yellow talismans!
Of course, the materials used by Fellow Daoist also need to be kept in spirit stones. The price of the materials are all marked in the quiet room! "
"Yes," Xiao Hua nodded, "I may stay in the quiet room for a bit longer. Are the spirit stones just now enough?"
"How long does Fellow Daoist need?"
The city guard obviously didn't expect Xiao Hua to stay for a long time, and said, "Actually, the Spirit Qi in this quiet room isn't as abundant as the Spirit Qi outside. Moreover, the fire inside is vigorous, and the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth with fire attribute is somewhat complicated. It's not suitable for cultivation!"
"At least three months, at most half a year!" Xiao Hua thought for a moment, "This will depend on whether I have a mission or not!
Right, the Communication Talisman can be sent here, right? "
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. Although there is a restriction here, it doesn't prohibit Communication Talismans!"
The city guard hurriedly said, "Just now, I only asked for a month's worth of spirit stones. If Fellow Daoist wants to stay for a long time, you will have to spend more spirit stones!"
"Alright!"
Xiao Hua silently calculated, took out some spirit stones and handed them over, saying, "If I comes out early, these spirit stones will still have to be returned to I!"
"Of course!
Fellow Daoist, please rest assured! "
The city guard received the spirit stones and handed Xiao Hua a scarlet token with the number "68" on it. He smiled and said, "In this alchemy cave, the fire in the first fifty quiet rooms is very hot. It's suitable for alchemy and refining!
There are only three people assigned to the Imperial Thunder Sect. Fellow Daoist, you are the first Daoist from the Imperial Thunder Sect to come to the alchemy cave to repair artifacts! "
"Oh?
Is that so? "
Xiao Hua was slightly stunned. He thought that this was an alchemy cave specially left for the Imperial Thunder Sect disciples by the Imperial Thunder City. Only now did he know that it was actually a function of each sect.
"Then which sect has the most disciples?" Xiao Hua asked curiously.
"There are not many disciples in any sect!"
The city guard smiled and said, "This is the first stage of the war. Those who come to the Imperial Thunder City are all cultivators below the Golden Core Realm. How many of them know about refining artifacts and alchemy?
Cultivators at your level of cultivation are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns! "
"In other words, there are not many people in this alchemy cave now?"
"To tell you the truth, there are many Fellow Daoists who come to this alchemy cave."
The city guard nodded. "But most of them stay for a few days. At most, they leave after twenty days. There are only about ten disciples in the alchemy cave now!"
"When Fellow Daoist comes out of the alchemy cave, you can use your magic power to activate this token. The token will fly to me. Before I rush to the quiet room, I will check how many materials you have consumed in the alchemy cave …" The city guard explained again.
"Okay!
Got it!
Thank you! "Xiao Hua took the token and did not ask any more questions. He followed the direction pointed by the city guard.
"Good boy!
Although this cultivator is in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his aura is restrained. He is different from the other cultivators I saw before. Although his tone is kind, there is an unquestionable tone. It seems like … he is ordering me!
He is basically … like a Golden Core Realm cultivator! "After Xiao Hua left calmly, the city guard looked at Xiao Hua's back and thought to himself.
Sure enough, when a wild goose passes by, it leaves a sound, and when a person passes by, it leaves a shadow!
In this world, there is no cultivation method that can completely deceive people!
Although Xiao Hua's cultivation method of deceiving people was very skillful, even when facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he was calm and unafraid of being recognized!
However, after Xiao Hua's realm increased, his strength reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. When facing an early stage Foundation Establishment Realm city guard again, how could he have the same attitude as before? Especially after being angry, that tone and manner of doing things was not something an early stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator should have!
It was no wonder that this early stage Foundation Establishment Realm city guard was suspicious!
Not to mention that Xiao Hua entered the alchemy cave, at the Immortal Music Sect's encampment, Li Chengxu was sitting on a jade chair in a quiet room. On the table beside his hand, there was a cup of spirit tea that was slowly emitting steam. On the jade plate beside him, there were a dozen or so thumb-sized, ice-like spirit fruits.
These spirit fruits were strange. They clearly looked sparkling and translucent, but within the translucency, there were countless strands of flesh. The flesh was like catkins that wrapped around the core of the fruit.
Li Chengxu's gaze was looking at these spirit fruits, and he seemed to like them very much.
If it was a normal day, he would have already picked one up and put it into his mouth, carefully tasting this Clear Snow Fruit unique to the Sky Patrol City. But today, his eyes revealed a trace of anxiety, waiting for something!
After a long while, the spirit tea had already lost its steam. Li Chengxu couldn't help but stand up and walk out of the quiet room!
With a "whoosh", a sound transmission talisman flew in!
Li Chengxu raised his eyebrows, obviously very happy. He raised his hand to catch the sound transmission talisman, but when he finished listening to the sound transmission talisman, disappointment appeared on his face. He pinched his hand slightly, and the sound transmission talisman turned into a ray of light that floated in the air.
"Humph!
Really useless things!
You only know that Xiao Hua didn't come out, but you have no way to find where he is?
Is he in the Imperial Thunder Sect's encampment? "
Li Chengxu snorted coldly and whispered, "If it weren't for the fact that I can't use my magic power because of the invisibility talisman, I would have followed behind Xiao Hua long ago. Why is it so difficult for you to do something?
Can't you get something out of a message? "
Soon after, Li Chengxu dispelled the idea of going out and paced back and forth in the quiet room. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he raised his head and said, "Could it be that Zheng Jie has encountered some difficulties?
Three late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators chasing down a few middle stage Foundation Establishment cultivators shouldn't be a problem, right? "
"He's just a servant of a cultivation family. Even if he's at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, how could he be a match for a disciple of a cultivation sect?"
"Forget it." Thinking this, Li Chengxu took out a Messaging Talisman from his storage pouch and whispered a few words. The Messaging Talisman flew out.
Not long after, an old man with white hair and beard entered the quiet room. He respectfully bowed and said, "Junior Huang Yong greets Martial Uncle Li!
Does Martial Uncle have any instructions? "
"En, this old man sent Zheng Jie out to do something, but he hasn't returned for a long time. There's also no news. Go and look for him!"
"Yes!" Huang Yong nodded and said, "Where did Junior Martial Brother Zheng Jie go?"
"This old man doesn't know either!"
Li Chengxu clapped his hands and took out his token. He handed it to Huang Yong and said, "Take this token and go to the Transmitting Formation in Sky Patrol City. Ask about Zheng Jie's whereabouts!
You don't have to chase too closely. Just find their traces!
Quickly come back and report to this old man! "
Huang Yong's heart trembled. He took the token and cupped his hands, saying, "This disciple understands. I'll go now!"
"En, go quickly and come back quickly."
Li Chengxu hesitated for a moment and said, "Zheng Jie might be chasing after a swordsman from the Sword Cultivator Sect. You should be careful!
"Thank you for your concern, Martial Uncle!" Huang Yong's heart warmed and he hurriedly turned and left.
Seeing Huang Yong leave, Li Chengxu's heart calmed down a little.
However, his buttocks had only sat on the jade chair for a moment before he stood up again and said angrily, "Damn it! I asked you to keep an eye on the encampment of the Ardent Fire Mountain. Why hasn't there been any news back yet?
Did Huo Ping go out?
Did she go to the auction? Did any strange disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect come to visit?
Doesn't she know that I'm anxious? "
