Chapter 24
After several days of traveling, the three of them were a little tired. At first, they were worried about danger and were more alert, but now they are gradually relaxing.
Even the warriors sent by the Xu family in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm did not consciously relax their vigilance.
One day, we will be able to reach the Mingzhou Prefecture, the imperial capital of Yunwu County. The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
That night, they were recuperating and resting in a larger city.
This city is a city that the Holy Lord has given to the third prince Zhou Shengxiang. After receiving the reward, the third prince personally changed its name to "Wangdi City" to "watch the imperial capital and be deeply grateful".
Zhou Shengxiang is respectful, kind and filial, brave and wise, and has high martial arts talent. He is born to the most beloved imperial concubine of the Holy Lord today. Therefore, he is deeply loved by the Holy Lord today and is unanimously considered by his subjects to be one of the strong competitors of the next successor of the imperial power.
At night, Wangdi City was brightly lit and bustling. The noise from the wine shops, teahouses, brothels, and the roads all showed the prosperity and vitality of the city. The various monsters, patrol camps in line, and powerful warriors carrying swords and halberds, often fought, and reminded the great authority and prosperity of Wangdi City of Wudi City.
Compared with this, Jiangshan Town was immediately turned into a scumbag, which was a difference between clouds and mud.
The three of them found a hostel called "Tongfu Inn", handed the Four-Winged Bird to the waiter in the inn to take good care of it, and each asked for a room to rest.
When the three of them walked into the hostel, at the corner of the street, there was a warrior who was accompanying him all the way. After watching Xuan Yuanhao and the other two enter the inn, they quickly disappeared into the night.
It seems that he has never gone and never left.
As usual, Xuan Yuanhao insisted on meditation and practiced for two hours before he was ready to fall asleep. It was already late at night.
Although Xuan Yuanhao was already asleep, his spiritual consciousness did not rest. In the sea of spiritual power, Xuan Yuanhao's spiritual consciousness was floating above the jade, receiving the tempering and washing of spiritual power.
Suddenly, some slight waves were stirred up on the calm sea of spiritual power, and the waves became more and more, forming a large swath, surging in.
At the same time, less than 100 meters away from Tongfu Inn, a masked night walker was quietly approaching Tongfu Inn with the help of the night, trees and eaves. To be precise, approaching the room where Xuan Yuanhao lived.
Xuan Yuanhao seemed to notice a trace of danger and woke up slightly from his sleep.
Although Xuan Yuanhao practiced his spiritual consciousness in advance in the Marrow Cleansing Realm, his spiritual consciousness was not powerful enough. Although he observed his spiritual consciousness covering a range of 100 meters, he got nothing.
At this time, Ye Xingren also felt that his spiritual consciousness was wrapped in him, so he quickly restrained his breath, disguised himself as part of the trunk, and avoided Xuan Yuanhao's spiritual consciousness investigation.
There is no breath and traces of night walkers in the air.
Could it be that I am too nervous? In this Wangdi City, who will target me?
Xuan Yuanhao smiled helplessly.
However, Xuan Yuanhao, who has always been alert, made other preparations.
He wrapped his pillow under the quilt and pretended to be like he was curled up inside and sleeping, while he himself restrained his breath and stayed silently in the darkness.
He wanted to see if he was too sensitive or whether there was a crisis coming.
The night walker felt that the danger had passed, so he stayed for a while and continued to sneak, approaching Xuan Yuanhao's room infinitely.
The night walker saw Xuan Yuanhao curling in the quilt, covering his head and sleeping soundly, and laughing: A little kid, who had no sense of defense at the first level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, actually asked me to assassinate him personally. Isn’t this a useless person? Isn’t it a slaughter of killing chickens?
Almost in the midst of lightning, night walkers broke into the window and hit the brocade quilt with one palm. Majestic spiritual power surged out, the brocade quilt flew like snowflakes, the wooden bed shattered and splashed, or the human body was fast.
The powerful attack of a warrior from the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm is not something a boy in the early stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm can withstand. I think he is also split.
Just as Yezhe was about to come forward to check and confirm, Xuan Yuanhao used a martial arts move to attack Yezhe, but Yezhe was at the third level of foundation building after all, and his reaction was very fast. He waved his palm and his body had already floated out the window.
The sound of the fight attracted the attention of the Xu family warriors and Wei Dansheng. The two were only separated from Xuan Yuanhao by one room and rushed over immediately.
When the Xu family warrior saw the masked man in black, he didn't even think too much and immediately went up to fight with him. Ye Xingren mistakenly thought that the Xu family warrior was the one who attacked him just now.
Although Wei Dansheng failed to build the foundation and had no time to think about it, he tried his best to help the punches in front of him.
How could they stand the two of them have no cultivation to the Ye Jie Ren, and their legs are no match for their fists. Ye Jie Ren quickly lost his figure and disappeared without a trace.
During the fight, the Xu family's martial artist also had some colors on his body and was slightly injured.
When the night walkers disappeared without a trace, Wei Dansheng immediately went to Xuan Yuanhao's room and saw Xuan Yuanhao standing in front of the corridor, he felt relieved.
Due to the loud noise of the fight, most of the inn guests have already gotten up.
Soon, the patrol battalion rushed over.
Mr. Xu's military officer briefly explained the situation. Since no valid evidence was left, the patrol battalion could not make a judgment on the spot, and could only strengthen patrols in the future.
After learning that the master and apprentice's purpose was to go to the Alchemy Association to participate in the Alchemy Examination. Master Wei Dansheng participated in the Sixth-grade Alchemy Examination. After his apprentice Xuan Yuanhao participated in the Eighth-grade Alchemy Examination, the head of the patrol battalion was shocked and immediately said seriously, "We have a task tomorrow to escort a group of important guests to the imperial capital Mingzhou Prefecture. If you don't mind, you can follow us. Wangdi City is a city that the current holy lord rewarded to the third prince. The third prince has always cherished talents. When you arrive in the imperial capital, if you have any difficulties or problems, you can find the third prince."
After saying that, I gave the Xu family martial artist a jade qilin. As long as I held the jade qilin in my hand and went to the third prince's mansion, there was nothing that could not be solved in the imperial capital.
It turned out that in order to attract talents from all over the world for his own use, the third prince specially made a batch of jade qilins, which meant "Qilin Talented Man". Because it was not convenient for him to leave the imperial capital frequently, he distributed the jade qilins to his confidants, with three of them each. He was also generous to the subordinates who recruited talents.
The head of the patrol battalion wanted to win over the master and apprentice, which could not only clear himself and the third prince of assassination, but also win over talents.
A master of a sixth-grade alchemist and an apprentice of an eighth-grade alchemist will be moved by any force and will try every means to win over it.
Xuan Yuanhao couldn't help but think that even a subordinate respects and wins over talents so much. These third princes are a wonderful person and must see them if they have the opportunity.
In a large building secret room in Wangdi City, the night walker bent down, as if he was particularly respectful and afraid of the person in front of him. "I saw the man lying in the brocade quilt with his own eyes. After he slammed his slap at him with all his might, he alarmed the two of them, especially the warrior who was escorting the foundation building, and he was also in the early stage of foundation building. In order to prevent additional trouble, his subordinates were worried that the flies from the patrol camp would come, so he escaped. Although I could not confirm the kid's life and death on the spot, with my third level of the Foundation Building Realm, a small warrior in the early stage of the Marrow Cleansing Realm would not be able to stop my full blow. If you have any death or no life, don't worry, General."
"Very good, very good. I always feel at ease when you do things. If this matter is done, the master will be rewarded. First, to help the Ma family get rid of their worries and win over the Ma family. Second, if something happened to that kid in Wangdi City, not only will he not doubt our master, but if he has the opportunity to blame the third prince in the future, it will be enough for him to drink a pot. Haha."
With the guards of the patrol battalion, Xuan Yuanhao and his party arrived in the imperial capital smoothly.
Even when entering the Mingzhou Prefecture, the guards guarding the city gate did not ask them to show their identity certificates and did not charge the city resource fee. Xuan Yuanhao and his party followed the patrol camp into the main city of the imperial capital in a swagger.
In order to restrict idle people from entering Mingzhou Prefecture, the imperial capital stipulates that in addition to verifying their identity, those who enter the main city must also pay 10 low-grade spirit stones as the entry fee. Each time they stay in the city cannot exceed ten days. The standard of 2 low-grade spirit stones must be paid every day as the retention fee.
Fortunately, Xuan Yuanhao didn't know, otherwise he would have been shocked. You must know that as a core disciple of the Xu family's inner sect, his cultivation resources are 5 low-grade spirit stones per month. In other words, Xuan Yuanhao can only stay in the imperial capital for 10 days after he accumulates for 2 months.
As Master Wei Dansheng said, Mingzhou Prefecture, the main city of the imperial capital, is indeed eye-opening. Because Mingzhou Prefecture is built on a spiritual vein, the spiritual energy in the air is extremely thick and continuous. Xuan Yuanhao is confident that if he practices in Mingzhou Prefecture for a long time, his cultivation speed can be at least doubled.
Even in the state of not practicing, Xuan Yuanhao's body can still automatically activate the second level of Hongmeng's first learning "Qi Refining and Transforming God's Art", greedily absorbing the spiritual energy from the outside world, tempering and transforming it into his own spiritual power.
Almost without any obstacles, Xuan Yuanhao's martial arts cultivation was successfully promoted to the second level of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
