Chapter 167: Potential Crisis
Gu Li was very sure that she had obtained a treasure, and it was a treasure that the box of Source Crystal Stigmas could not match.
But now she was very curious, who gave Tian Xian such a thing, after all, this kind of source crystal stigma is absolutely rare, and until now, human beings have not been able to understand the principle of the appearance of this stigma.
In the entire human continent, there may not be more than a hundred Source Crystal Stigmas in existence.
"You're really not going to sue me where did this come from?"
At dinner, Gu Li was helpless to eat the "carefully prepared" meal of Arion and Tu Ge, and at the same time, she was still working hard, and she was now eager to go to the Misty Town to see, although she didn't know that there was such a place as the Misty Town.
"No, I can't. β
Tianxian still refused very bluntly, but seeing that Gu Li seemed to refuse to give up, he said in a soothing tone: "It's not that I don't take you there, but that place has very strict restrictions on outsiders, and this condition is almost innate, if you don't have this condition, once you get to that place...... You'll be a corpse. β
Gu Li blinked her eyes, "I said little ghost, you're not lying to me, I've been in the Holy Spirit Temple for so many years, and I've never heard of such a place." β
"Then have you heard of a place where you can exchange a box of source crystals for a piece of that thing in your hand?" asked Tian Xian rhetorically.
Gu Li was suddenly asked, and she was speechless for a long time.
Tianxian said with some pity: "Originally, I also planned to bring people in, but I didn't know in advance that there were still some harsh conditions in that place, and I miscalculated." β
Gu Li's eyes suddenly lit up. "Listening to your tone, it seems that those conditions are not inflexible, huh...... When I was in the Temple of the Holy Spirit, it was also an important part of my job to break the rules in an unreasonable way, but if you speak up and listen, I might be able to help you figure out a way to deal with those conditions!"
Tian Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Forget it, this matter will end here." If that stone really works for you. You will cultivate your stigma as soon as possible and improve your strength, and now that your matter here has been exposed, if my guess is correct. The news was already on its way to the Holy Spirit Temple headquarters. Watchmen of the Holy Spirit should also be placed around our dwellings. Maybe...... Zoya is about to arrive. β
Speaking of Zhuoya, Gu Li's expression stiffened obviously, now. At this moment, Gu Li still has a lot of scars left by Zhuoya's thin sword, some are deep and some are shallow, some are heavy and some are light, thinking of this sister who lived and died together in the past, Gu Li felt that the wounds on her body were extremely painful.
"Those of us who have lived in the Holy Spirit Temple since childhood, and we have to live for the Holy Spirit Temple all our lives, I am an outlier, if it weren't for Gunn's insistence on driving me away, if it weren't for Zoya chasing me all the time...... I don't even know if I'll survive until now, maybe if they don't care about me, I'll be anywhere...... Died silently. β
He smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's strange, the people who chased me actually gave me the motivation to live." β
"It's nothing funny, being alive is a person's most basic desire, you should be glad that you are still alive, this thing is more important than anything else. Tian Xian put down the food in his hand, and Arion probably devoted all his energy to thinking about how to please Guli, and this dinner could not be described as unpalatable.
As for Tu Ge, his ability to serve cooked food was a great improvement.
With a slight sigh, Gu Li cheered up again, "It's okay, it's better for me to improve my strength, Zhuo Ya is much better than me, I have never been her opponent, and I can live until now......"
Gu Li paused, took a deep breath, and said, "There must be a break between me and Zhuoya, otherwise this kind of hunting will never stop." β
As she spoke, Gu Li smiled confidently, "Although I have never won, but with this treasure, I have a good chance of defeating her, and when the time comes...... Let's visit that secret place of yours!"
Tianxian replied casually: "Yes, when you defeat Zhuoya, we will find a way when the time comes." β
"Good!"
Guli immediately stood up, and with a twist of his head, his gaze fell on Arion.
Arion was a little nervous for a moment, and hurriedly showed a smile that he thought was very charming, and said very elegantly: "Miss Guli, do you have anything you need me to serve?"
Gu Li crooked her mouth, "Little white face, don't poison us anymore in the future, is this kind of thing really for people to eat? Tomorrow, you go to cook!"
Gu Li pointed to Tianxian very unceremoniously.
Tianxian smiled bitterly, "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'll just eat and drink for nothing!" Gu Li turned away very freely, as if this sentence was with some kind of noble and elegant style, Tian Xian had to sigh, this woman who lost this sentence can say this sentence so justifiably, without half a bit of shame.
Tian Xian didn't know much about the Source Crystal Stigmata, and he didn't give a detailed explanation to Arion and Tu Ge about this matter, not that he didn't trust them, but this matter had to be kept secret, not to mention that the Source Crystal Stigmata might attract others to peep, even if it was exchanged for the Source Crystal Stigmata itself, it couldn't be passed on.
Tian Xian didn't want a large number of powerful inheritors to suddenly appear in the Thunder Ancient City to attack him, and now, he was Gu Li's accomplice in stealing the Source Crystal Stigma, which was beyond doubt.
The next day.
The whole day is boring.
Gu Li cultivated the stigmata in her room, of course, that room was originally idle, and she didn't see anyone now, and the meals were all placed at her door.
Speaking of which, now that there is no one cooking at home, they buy ready-made ones directly in the trading area outside the residential area, which makes Tianxian start to think more seriously about his wallet.
Arion had been planning all day how to win the favor of Gu Li, and Tu Ge had already begun to practice a certain amount of recovery, and his injuries healed quickly, this kind of vitality that surpassed more than ten or dozens of times that of human beings, in the eyes of Tian Xian, was simply a miracle that was impossible to exist.
Days...... It's just idle, and the snow is idle with the sky.
It would have been good. Zhuoma will come today to take Tianxian to familiarize herself with the situation in the city, but she didn't say when she would come, Tianxian had to wait patiently, and the day passed.
"This bastard woman, actually let my pigeons, I knew this, it is better to go out and walk around by myself, little gray has been outside for two days, and I don't know if he is used to it. "Sitting on the windowsill. Two legs are boringly and gently kicking against the wall. Seeing that it is sinking westward, it is certain that Zhuoma will not come today.
"Snow, let's go out and find something to eat, and see what we have to eat tonight. It seems that there is a big flower market in the trade area!" Tian Xian jumped off the ground. Throw Dolma's business out of your head. Hands stretched out to the snow.
At the height of two floors, Xue jumped down without hesitation, and Tianxian gently caught her. sighed again in my heart: this girl's body is as light as a snowflake, and Tianxian is even a little afraid that the snow will melt as soon as it reaches his arms.
When he turned his head, Tianxian was stunned.
The fiery red sunset was radiating a bright glow, and a figure hit the ground obliquely.
A man appeared in the alley in front of him, standing at the mouth of the alley, not approaching, but looking at this side.
Tian Xian's eyes slowly shrank, this person was dressed in a red dress, with long black hair tied up with a flying fairy sideburns on his head, and the wind blew away the gauze skirt, like a dazzling fire in the sunset.
Four Girls......
Tianxian's lips squirmed slightly, and he whispered the name, and sure enough...... She's also come to the Thunder Ancient City!
Under the glow, Tian Xian couldn't really see the faces of the four girls, but she seemed to be quite happy, and the eyes that came over her were faint, with a little excitement, with a little eagerness, and ...... There is also a bit of pent-up hatred.
Ying Ying bowed, and the four girls bowed slightly in the distance, and then turned to leave, without saying a word, only giving Tianxian a back.
"It's the girl. Xue was extremely impressed with the four girls, and recognized her at a glance.
"Hmm. Tian Xian nodded, and faintly felt some pressure in his heart, this Thunder Ancient City is not easy to come by, and if you want to get out, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
The four girls have already appeared, and the people of the Holy Spirit Temple must have noticed themselves, and the managers of this Thunder Ancient City must not have a good impression of themselves now because of the source crystal.
And even if you come to the Thunder Ancient City, even if you have completely gone to the light, you don't know how many forces are fighting your attention.
There are really many strong enemies, and as far as the eye can see, they are all hungry wolves waiting to share the meat.
"Let's go, it's okay now, we're safe in the ancient city, and now it's better not to let that bastard woman in Guli go hungry, otherwise she will be noisy and we won't be able to sleep." β
Although he knew that the current situation was a little unoptimistic, Tian Xian also understood that he was safe in a short period of time, and as long as he did not leave this Thunder Ancient City, the major forces should not be able to do anything to him.
Now the most important thing is to take care of your own affairs and leave this place of right and wrong.
Holding the little hand of the snow, he walked out of the alley and walked to the trading area not far away, where there were lily of the valley full of goods, of course...... The price is ridiculously expensive!
Miss Senna II is now mainly engaged in the fur business, although Tian Xian is only a nominal acting president, but he has also paid a little attention to these businesses, at least he understands the price of some ordinary furs, and it is definitely the cost price.
The caravan of the second lady crossed the border, carried all kinds of propaganda pamphlets, went deep into the remote towns, vigorously promoted, vigorously publicized the name of the World Chamber of Commerce, and spent time and effort to bring a fine fur coat, if it could be sold for a gold coin, it would be quite a good price.
And here, that pitifully small fur vest actually costs ten gold coins!!
Ten gold coins!
For an ordinary family farming, the annual expenses are about this number. That is, take a few walks here, pick out a favorite vest, buy a pair of suitable shoes, eat something by the way, and buy a few cheap little pendants at some small stall when you come back, and throw a little money to the beggar.
Well...... A hundred gold coins have been consumed!
Tianxian almost wants to scold his mother, in a place like Thunder Ancient City, there are actually beggars!!
However, annoyance is annoyance, food, clothing, housing and transportation are still inevitable, and now Tianxian has to come to this trade area with Xue to buy some food like a "rich" slaughterhouse.
Fortunately, everyone's food requirements are not very high, even Guli is just full and not hungry.
After a short turn, the food was chosen. In the end, I found a small pendant suitable for snow, this small pendant that looks like a fake crystal actually costs five gold coins, and the volume of five gold coins is several times larger than it, and this thing is actually more expensive than the same volume of gold!!
Sighing again at the cannibalistic prices of this place, Tian Xian brought the small pendant to the neck of the snow.
Xue seemed a little surprised, and a little dazed, not quite sure what Tian Xian was doing, but finally looked at the shiny little pendant on his chest, and Xue smiled softly.
"Haven't had dinner yet?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind Tianxian.
Tian Xian looked back. Stunned. Dolma was dressed casually, carrying a very cute small basket decorated with small flowers in one hand, which contained some vegetables. Looks like she's here to procure.
Tianxian couldn't help but take a second look at the small basket. The floral pattern on it is very conspicuous. It's so naΓ―ve......
The reason why it is said to be naΓ―ve...... It's because now Tianxian already knows that the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in front of her is really thirty years old, and she is an out-and-out mature woman.
But she also wore a frilled skirt. Stepping on the little red leather shoes, with an innocent and cute face, staring at himself with big black eyes, that look ......
It was as if he would immediately reach out and shout, "Brother!
Tianxian trembled all over, quickly pulled his spirit back from this terrible delusion, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Zhuoma, what a coincidence...... Are you going back to making dinner?"
Although I felt that the other party's dress was a little weird, since I knew that the other party was a woman much older than me, Tianxian's tone was a little polite.
"I'm going to go to you, thinking that your food will be poisoned if you eat it, so I prepared some things myself, of course, just some leftover materials, and the main ingredients are still in you. Dolma said very casually
This...... Another one who eats and drinks.
"It's almost ready, just in time, let's go back!" Dolma looked at his little basket, then nodded, "When we have dinner, I should take you around the city." β
"Oh?"
Dolma smiled slightly, "What, are you wondering why I didn't show up that day?"
"Uh......" Tian Xian didn't know whether to say that he had been waiting for a boring day, and his stomach was very bored.
"I didn't say I would come during the day!" Dolma laughed and left first.
Tian Xian thought about it, but still chased after it.
"About yesterday's ......" On the way, Tian Xian first mentioned yesterday's search.
"That's over!" Dolma said disapprerovingly, "I suspect that you have criminals hiding there, but the search shows that there are no criminals, so naturally I have wronged you, but I am afraid that I will not give you any compensation this time." β
Tian Xian smiled bitterly secretly, how dare he ask for compensation? Both sides know this matter, although Gu Li's identity has played a good role in disguise, but the source spar is missing, which is inseparable from himself, and now the managers of the Thunder Ancient City must have been paying attention to themselves, but they can't find any evidence to prove that they have transferred those source spars.
Otherwise...... I'm afraid that the one who is with me now is not the relaxed Dolma, but the jailer with a full face.
"Don't hold me accountable, I'm satisfied. Tian Xian smiled.
Zhuoma couldn't help but take a deep look at Tianxian, "Little ghost, although there is nothing wrong with you in the end about this matter, the impact of this incident is very unfavorable to you, and you will ...... in the future." Be careful, understand?"
Tianxian was slightly surprised, Zhuoma was reminding herself that now the people of the ancient city had begun to pay attention to herself, and as a member of the Thunder Ancient City, she would actually think about herself as an outsider.
As if sensing Tianxian's thoughts, Dolma said, "Speaking of which, I'm also an outsider, I've only been here for a short time, and if it wasn't for the accident when I explored the Inner Realm last time, I probably wouldn't be here at all." β
Tian Xian glanced at Zhuoma's thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl-like appearance and figure, and the surprise she said should be the time regression mentioned in Gu Li's mouth, I really don't know what strange things are in the interior of this Thunder Ancient City, which actually shrinks a person's age back to the time of a child.
"Are you curious about what I look like?" Dolma asked suddenly.
Tian Xian hurriedly retracted his gaze, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I just ......"
"No need to apologize, it's normal, anyone who knows what happened to me will look at me very strangely. Taking a slow breath, Dolma smiled, "Some people also asked me if this is a very happy thing, after all, I have become younger, and my body is back to the way I was when I was fourteen." β
Tian Xian didn't speak, because Tian Xian could feel the anger in Zhuoma's tone.
"A thirty-year-old, mature soul is imprisoned in a young body, hehe...... This is really a fortunate thing!" Zhuoma gritted her teeth slightly, "I know that I am an adult woman, but I still can't help but like to wear such clothes, I like sweet sweets, I like to comb my playful hair, I sway and struggle between the reason of my soul and the instinct of my body, and I actually ...... Someone dares to ask my mother if I'm happy!!"
"Smack!!" Dolma's small basket was accidentally broken by her.
Instantly realizing that he was a little out of shape, Dolma took two deep breaths, and his voice finally calmed down, "What you said just now, let's just assume that you didn't hear it." β
Tian Xian nodded and did not speak.
"Anyway, this Thunder Ancient City is a very strange place, you may have good luck and you may be unlucky, but you have to remember one thing anyway. β
Dolma stopped suddenly, "Watch out for those managers, they ...... is the most disgusting existence zΓ i!" (to be continued......)
