Chapter 286 Seeing Lingbao Pavilion Again
Zhiyuan City has a special geographical location. It is located on the outskirts of a pass at the junction of Donghua Mountain and Xiyue Mountain. It can be said to be an important transportation thoroughfare.
It’s just that for such an important place, the Wu court adopted a laissez-faire attitude. Normally, it was enough to stop Yuancheng from paying tribute to the court. Even the lord of a city was not appointed by the court, but It was jointly recommended by several prominent figures in Zhiyuan City.
Such strange things have been talked about by many storytellers in the world and turned into strange stories. Some people even inquired about it and wanted to find out. However, people who really know some of the inside story are silent on this matter and dare not say more at all.
Zhi Yuancheng, in Yongqing Inn.
A young man in gray clothes was sitting cross-legged on the bed, making strange magic formulas with his hands, and at the same time mumbling something, as if he was practicing some kind of skill.
On top of his head, there was curls of green smoke coming out, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. After a while, the gray-clothed young man suddenly frowned slightly, then changed the technique in his hand, stopped the technique, and stood up from the bed.
After the young man got up, his face seemed a little irritated. He walked back and forth a few steps in the room, then reached out and patted the gray pouch at his waist.
In the flash of white light, a small beast with rabbit ears and a big tail jumped out and landed on the square table gently and deftly.
"What's the matter? Mr. Liang, why are you calling me today?" the little white beast said.
"Are there any other tricks in this "Tao Sword Sutra"? Why do I feel more and more confused as I read it? If you follow the instructions in the sutra to operate your spiritual power, it will be extremely blocked. How can it be considered a technique?" Liang Yan He asked with a frown.
"So that's what happened!" The little white beast laughed and said: "Boy, you underestimated the "Tao Sword Sutra" too much. This is the best skill in the world. Now you have seen it. He is shallow, especially if he knows nothing about Taoism. How can he understand it so easily?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded doubtfully, thinking that among the four major traditions, he only knew the Confucian mentality? most familiar. Although the Yungang Sect is a Taoist sect, I have only been a member of the Taoist school for a short period of time, and I have not yet had time to read many ancient Taoist books. What Lao Jin said may not be unreasonable.
In the past few days, Liang Yan also briefly introduced his origins to Lao Jin, only to hear Lao Jin smile and say: "Ordinary people who enter Taoist sects start to study from the Three Thousand Daozang. But you kid is different, you are an art investment expert , I became a monk halfway, so I naturally know very little about the basic classics of Taoism. How can I understand such a wonderful book as "Tao Jian Jing" in two or three days?"
Liang Yan knew that there was something behind his words. , didn't interrupt, just waited for him to finish speaking. Sure enough, Lao Jin shook his head and said:
"It is not advisable to rush into practicing "Tao Sword Classic". Your most important task right now is to obtain a large amount of death energy to balance the two energies of life and death in your body. Otherwise, once my natal golden feather is out of control, you will not be alive for long. La!"
Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, it sounds easy, but we have been searching all these days and have not found a target that meets the requirements."
"Before. All we met were some Qi-refining casual cultivators near Cangya Mountain, and we couldn't ask anything at all. Now that we're in Zhiyuan City, I think we might as well go to the XC area and see if we can find out any information? "
Liang Yan glanced at him and nodded after a while: "That's fine!"
An hour later, Liang Yan packed up his things and went downstairs from Yongqing Inn, heading towards the west of the city. And go. Although this XC area does not occupy a large area, it has always been the most mysterious area in Zhiyuan City. Ordinary mortals are not even allowed to approach it.
Liang Yan walked through a deserted street and saw a bluestone arch bridge in the distance. There were guards in palace clothes standing on each side of the arch bridge. Behind the arch bridge is the XC area surrounded by white walls.
Although these two guards are ordinary-looking, they are both genuine monks. One is on the sixth level of Qi Refining, and the other is on the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Seeing this, Liang Yan no longer concealed his monk aura, and released his foundation-building coercion without reservation. The two guards were shocked by the power of the foundation-building spirit and looked towards Liang Yan with their eyes widened. "Greetings, senior!" The two guards stepped forward in unison and bowed to Liang Yan.
“No need to be so polite.”
Liang Yan smiled gently, took back his aura at the same time, and turned back into the ordinary young man again, and then asked: "I want to enter the XC area to do something, what kind of credentials do I need?"
"Before reporting Senior." The two looked at each other and said respectfully to Liang Yan: "Originally, the city lord stipulated that to enter the XC area, you must have a certificate issued by the city lord's palace, but that is only for monks in the Qi refining period, and the senior is a foundation-building cultivator. Because, naturally you are not bound by this rule.”< br>
“I see.” Liang Yan nodded and asked, “Is there a trading area in the city?”
“Yes, after crossing the bridge, go to the right and you will find the gathering place of the major chambers of commerce. , if you turn left, you can lead to the teleportation method Array, but you are not allowed to get close there normally. You are only allowed in when the teleportation is turned on on the first day of every month. Even seniors are no exception to this."
"The first day of every month. Okay, I will. Got it.”
Liang Yan smiled softly, crossed the stone bridge forward, turned and walked towards the trading area.
The XC area is completely different from other areas in Zhiyuan City. Everyone who comes into view is a monk. Even the bosses and waiters in some wine shops are low-level Qi-refining monks.
Liang Yan walked around in it, had a cup of tea, and suddenly stopped in front of an antique shop.
"Lingbao Pavilion?"
Liang Yan looked up at the plaque on the lintel, with a trace of doubt on his face.
"If I remember correctly, I also saw a Lingbao Pavilion in Luo City of Zhao State that day, and it was still under the jurisdiction of the Wenxiang Sect. I didn't expect that there was also a Lingbao Pavilion in Wu State. Is it a coincidence that it has the same name?"< br>
With doubts in his heart, he unconsciously stepped into the store door.
As soon as I entered the store, I smelled a refreshing fragrance. Looking around, I saw various classics neatly stacked on the counter in the store, as well as spiritual materials, spiritual weapons and elixirs. . Most of them are used in the Qi refining and foundation building stages.
At this moment, several monks were selecting in the store, and there were two young waiters behind the counter, introducing something to them respectfully.
In order to facilitate his work, Liang Yan did not deliberately hide his cultivation after entering the city. As soon as he entered the store, the clerks and monks all turned to look at him.
"Senior, what do you need?" An old man with gray hair walked towards him with a smile on his face.
