Chapter 473: Sansha City, Meeting an Acquaintance
A day later, two figures arrived at the ruins of Piaomiao Xianzong.
They went deep underground and came to the scene of the incident. The spirit stones had been taken away, and even the eight formation flags were destroyed by the sword formation, and the most precious spirit gathering pearl was also destroyed.
"Damn it!"
One of the middle-aged cultivators was furious.
"Could it be that the old immortal of Yandao Sect discovered it?"
Another horse-faced young man hesitated.
"We just took action. Even if Yandao Sect discovered it, it would not be possible to arrive so early in advance. There must be someone else!" The middle-aged cultivator gritted his teeth and said.
The Yandao Sect they mentioned has always been the object of their vigilance.
"Should the spirit stones in other places be taken away in advance?" The horse-faced young man asked.
They have more than one spirit gathering point in the East Wilderness, a total of six, and basically every ten years, they can stably produce two top-grade spirit stones.
This is the cultivation resource of the ancestors in the God Transformation Stage in the sect. It cannot be sloppy. It is the most important place for the sect.
"Absolutely not. The Yandao Sect has been watching us for many years. We must be cautious in every step we take and not lose the big picture for the sake of small gains."
The middle-aged monk's eyes flashed with gloom, and he said, "Since the thief has discovered the secret here, he will not stop. Arrange some bait and wait for him to take the bait."
"Understood!" The horse-faced young man clasped his fists.
"Also, check the origin of this sword formation."
"Yes!"
…………
Xu Hei ran all the way. This time, he sneaked for a full seven days before he dared to stop.
Although the sense of crisis in his heart had long disappeared, Xu Hei had done such a big thing, it was impossible not to be cautious.
"Top-grade spirit stone, I actually got a top-grade spirit stone!"
Xu Hei panted heavily, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and laughed.
He took out half of the top-grade spirit stone, bit off a small piece, swallowed it into his stomach, and absorbed and refined it.
In an instant, a stream of rich spiritual energy from the upper realm exploded from the spirit stone, penetrated into every inch of flesh and blood, and after repeated refining, it merged into the body of the Nascent Soul.
Xu Hei's Nascent Soul is a small snake. At this moment, the snake is growing slowly.
This is a visible improvement in cultivation.
It is conceivable that the top-grade spirit stone that can allow the transformation of the spirit stage to practice is not comparable to ordinary spirit stones, and it is not even eligible for exchange.
In just one day, Xu Hei refined that mouthful of spirit stone, and his cultivation increased by about 10%.
Xu Hei did not stay for long. He changed places. After sneaking for three days, he bit off another top-grade spirit stone and refined and absorbed it.
In each place, Xu Hei would not stay for more than one day at most, and would clean up the traces and change to another place to practice.
It took Xu Hei a month to eat half of the top-grade spirit stone.
And Xu Hei's cultivation also reached 70% of the initial stage of the Nascent Soul.
The remaining piece of top-grade spirit stone, Xu Hei can use it to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.
Just after arriving at the battlefield outside the domain, he had such a rich harvest, which made Xu Hei feel unreal, but he did not rush to take it. He hid it and stayed away from this area.
…………
After changing his appearance and removing the impurities in his body, Xu Hei finally got out of the soil and came to the surface.
Wearing a black robe, medium build, average face, except for slightly dark skin, Xu Hei is no different from a passerby cultivator.
A human city appeared on the wasteland ahead.
This is the most peaceful place Xu Hei has seen along the way, and it is also the place he chose to stay.
Of course, the peace here is only relative to other cities. There is no such thing as absolute peace in the battlefield outside the domain.
This city is called Sansha City. As the name suggests, it is all built of sand.
The city lord is a Nascent Soul Great Perfection. After entering the city, as long as you pay a certain amount of spirit stones, you can get the protection of the city lord.
The entrance fee is not much, only 10,000 spirit stones.
However, the insurance fee is high, and there is no upper limit. The person who kills you needs to pay ten times your insurance to kill you.
For example, Xu Hei paid 100,000 spirit stones to buy insurance for himself, so the killer has to pay 1 million spirit stones to kill Xu Hei.
This also led to many desperate people choosing to recuperate in Sansha City. As long as they paid more money, they would be safe enough.
"If I pay one top-grade spirit stone as insurance, then if you want to kill me, wouldn't it cost ten top-grade spirit stones?" Xu Hei thought.
However, this idea can only be thought about. If he dares to take out the top-grade spirit stone, I am afraid that the Lord of Sansha City will kill him personally.
After Xu Hei paid the entrance fee of 10,000 spirit stones.
The guard at the gate asked: "Where is the insurance?"
After Xu Hei looked around, he took out a fourth-level magic weapon, which was one of the spoils of the Snake Catching Sect, and handed it over.
Then, he registered his name, obtained an insurance token, and entered the city.
The first thing Xu He did when he entered the city was to go to the grocery store and buy a map.
The map was not complete, only a small part of the East Wasteland, not as good as the one given to him by the teacher, but some dangerous areas were marked, which was enough for the time being.
"Liefeng City, it turns out to be here."
Xu He looked at a dot on the map.
This was the place Luo Gang told him about. It was the largest city in this area of one million miles. It was said that there were many Yuanying period Great Perfection monks guarding it. It turned out that Luo Gang had such a great background.
"Haha, is this fellow Taoist new here?"
The owner of the map looked at him with a smile.
"Sansha City, it is indeed my first time here."
Xu Hei replied casually.
The map owner's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "Actually, I have a bigger and more complete map here. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Of course." Xu Hei naturally would not refuse.
The map boss immediately raised his fingers, and Xu Hei walked closer. He took out a parchment roll and spread it out on the counter.
This map is not only larger, but also more complete. In addition to cities, terrain, and dangerous areas, there are even paintings on the ruins of ancient sects.
The boss immediately introduced Xu Hei.
"There are many secrets that cannot be revealed on the map, but I know, old man. For example, this meteor city was formed by the impact of meteorites from outside the sky, and the terrain is depressed..."
The old man pointed at the map and introduced each landmark in detail.
The old man described every dangerous situation and the monks who died in it in detail.
"There is also the ruins of the God King's Palace. It is said that it was originally a blessed place full of spiritual energy. Many monks went there to practice. But since a catastrophe, all the monks there died and the spiritual energy suddenly disappeared. It's really disappointing. What a pity.”
The map boss sighed.
Xu Hei's eyebrows suddenly jumped. This is very similar to the Piaomiao Immortal Sect. Maybe there is a similar device underground to collect spiritual energy and create top-quality spiritual stones.
However, he didn't dare to come back a second time. The other party had been stolen once, so he must be on guard. Xu Hei would be seeking death if he went now.
During this period, the map boss had been secretly observing Xu Hei's expression. Seeing that he looked calm and unmoved, he changed the topic and introduced something else.
"Tell me about Gale Wind City." Xu Hei said.
"Liefeng City is a legendary place in the Eastern Wasteland. It is one of the three major cities in the Eastern Wasteland and is the safest place. It is said that there are eight Nascent Soul stage Dzogchen monks in it..."
The map boss immediately introduced.
"Boom!!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, a roar and vibration that spread in all directions.
There was a fight.
Xu Hei didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but his induction token suddenly reacted, which made him feel something in his heart. Does the person who came know him?
Xu Hei quickly walked out of the map store and came to the street.
I saw a silver-haired girl galloping down the street. Her figure was illusory, appearing and disappearing. Behind her was a monk in yellow robes. A ball of flame appeared in his palm, and he was pursuing her.
"Silver-haired witch?" Xu Hei didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.
Ah Yin was wearing a thin piece of clothing. Although he was not injured, he looked quite embarrassed. He could not sense his breath at all. Most of the time, he was in an illusory state.
The yellow-robed monk was extremely fast, and with a snap of his fingers, a fire dragon surged out and burned towards A Yin's back. However, he saw that her body was illusory and she avoided the fatal blow. She was surrounded by flames again, and she was surrounded by danger.
"Puff puff puff..."
Countless thorns rushed out from the ground, and the yellow-robed monk's method changed. A Yin's four directions were covered by heavenly and earthly nets, trying to surround her.
"Oh! Watch the show." Xu Hei took a chair and sat down, watching from the street.
