Chapter 204 Xiao Yan, who has noticed something!
The young man was Xiao Yan.
More than a year ago, Xiao Yan returned to Penglai Islands and Wutan Mountain after leaving Daojian Immortal City.
She wanted to inform her father about the news concerning the main branch of the Xiao family.
There was no rush along the way; the focus was mainly on polishing and repairing.
Two months ago, he successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Realm by relying on the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire.
Not only did he awaken his physical constitution, but he also established his foundation in the Heavenly Dao.
This caused a dramatic change in his strength.
After returning to his family and giving his father a Foundation Establishment Pill, he took a teleportation array to Black Dragon Immortal City.
It cost him thousands of spirit stones, which really broke his heart.
But there's no way around it, the distance is too far, and if I were to travel by myself, it would take at least several months.
If one encounters a great terror at sea, one might even perish.
He still has a treasure trove to explore, so how could he waste so much time traveling?
After returning to Black Dragon Immortal City.
Xiao Yan arrived at the teleportation array and was transported to the Han Hai Royal City of the Qing Kingdom.
Because of the relatively short distance, this time it only cost two thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Looking at the spirit stones he had painstakingly saved, he now only had a little over eight thousand left.
Xiao Yan's face showed a look of pain.
"This teleportation array is too expensive. Eight thousand spirit stones aren't even enough to cover the cost of returning to Yunhua Immortal City."
Looking at his grumbling apprentice, Master Dan said irritably:
"Alright, if we don't earn any spirit stones, then so be it."
With your current cultivation level as a top-tier first-level alchemist, earning a few thousand low-grade spirit stones wouldn't be difficult.
Let's go, buy a map of the Qing Kingdom, and head to Xiaozhai Village in Wuhe County.
Xiao Yan nodded and went to a street stall in the city to buy a map of the Qing Kingdom for one spirit stone.
Of course, you can also buy it with silver, but what you'll get is just a map drawn by an ordinary person.
The content is definitely not as detailed as the map sold by the immortal.
After obtaining the map, Xiao Yan began searching for the location of Wuhe County on it.
But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the place.
Could it be that Brother Chen has misremembered?
Does the Qing Kingdom not have a Wuhe County at all?
That's not right, Brother Chen, how could you make such a basic mistake?
He frowned slightly, looked at the vendor with a mustache in front of him, and said:
"Brother, is there something wrong with your map?"
Upon hearing this, the stall owner's brows furrowed, and he stood up angrily, saying:
"Kid! Looking for trouble, huh?"
Everyone on this little street knows that I, Hai Lao Er, am the most honest and kind person!
What I hate most in my life are swindlers and cheaters!
You dare mess with me, kid? You've got a death wish!
As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Lao Er whistled.
A dozen or so burly men emerged from various parts of the street.
The Han Hai Royal City does not prohibit martial arts. As long as no one is killed, even if someone is beaten to a pulp, no one will be held accountable.
Seeing this, the surrounding vendors quickly packed up their spiritual items and retreated to a safe distance, watching the scene with glee.
"Heh, this kid must be new here, he doesn't even recognize Hai Lao Er."
"Of course! That's obvious. What Hai Lao Er loves to do most is forced buying and selling. This kid is in for a world of trouble this time."
"Who says so? What if this kid is a tough character?"
"You're talking nonsense. What if some tough guy really came back to our Loose Cultivator Street to buy something? And a map no less?"
"You can't say that. Can you see through his cultivation level?"
"Hiss~ Now that you mention it, it's true. I'm a master at the sixth level of Qi Refining, yet I couldn't see through that kid's cultivation level."
Could he really be a master?
……
Xiao Yan ignored the surrounding chatter and sighed inwardly as he watched the burly man approaching him.
This is just too damn unlucky.
Even spending a spirit stone to buy a map can bring disaster.
Who can I complain to about this?
I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now it seems that's impossible.
If Zhang Xuanchen were here, there would definitely be no surprises.
This is just like the protagonist's daily life.
Xiao Yan slowly placed his hands on the handle of the black ruler behind his back, and a sharp aura burst forth from his body.
He said, "Is this Hai Lao Er? I have no intention of provoking you."
I was just puzzled because I didn't see Wuhe County on the map.
Of course, if you insist on fighting, I'll gladly oblige!
Xiao Yan showed no fear in his eyes, staring sharply at Hai Lao Er standing in front of him.
The one with the highest cultivation level among these people is Hai Lao Er, who is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining.
An ant, no threat whatsoever!
Moreover, he has Elder Dan as his strong backer. Even if the Qing Kingdom's royal family causes him trouble today, he will still fight them without hesitation.
It's one thing to be bullied when you're weak and powerless.
Now that we have strength and backing, how can we be bullied?
When Hai Lao Er heard Xiao Yan mention Wuhe County, he knew that this guy was indeed from outside, because Wuhe County had been destroyed by evil cultivators four years ago.
Sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Yan, Hai Lao Er's eyes revealed a look of fear.
This young man is definitely stronger than me!
They're not easy to deal with.
With a quick glance, he waved his hand, signaling the surrounding burly men to retreat.
His attitude changed drastically, and he smiled broadly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Fellow Daoist just mentioned Wuhe County, which means you have indeed just arrived in Qing Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow:
"What do you mean?"
Instead of replying immediately, Hai Lao Er shouted at the onlookers, "What are you looking at!"
Are you looking for a beating?! Go do whatever you're supposed to be doing!
Anyone who can't scrape together their protection money this month is fired!
"Get out of here!"
Upon hearing Hai Lao Er's words, everyone shrank back and quickly scattered.
Seeing this, Hai Lao Er nodded in satisfaction and smiled as he replied to Xiao Yan:
"Fellow Daoist, Wuhe County was wiped out by evil cultivators four years ago!"
The former site of Wuhe County has now been renamed Fengnan County.
"What?!"
Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Xuanchen clearly said that he helped Xiaozhai Village kill those two evil cultivators!"
How can it be called destruction when nothing happened in Xiaozhai Village?
Could it be?
Thinking of a possibility, Xiao Yan quickly asked, "What about Xiaozhai Village?"
Upon hearing this, Hai Lao Er's expression clearly changed.
"I already said it was destroyed, so Xiaozhai Village, which belongs to Wuhe County, was naturally also destroyed by the evil cultivators."
His eyes darted away, clearly indicating that he didn't want to discuss this topic with Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan grabbed his collar, and a layer of scorching flames burned on Hai Lao Er's skin.
Hai Lao Er clearly felt a strong stinging pain, but there were no signs of burning on his skin.
This undoubtedly demonstrates Xiao Yan's exceptional fire control ability.
Master!
Hai Lao Er was horrified.
Cold sweat streamed down my forehead, and just then a deep, indifferent voice reached my ears:
"You're lying!"
Since Zhang Xuanchen killed the two evil cultivators who wanted to sacrifice themselves to Xiaozhai Village, Xiaozhai Village will most likely be safe.
Judging from the expression on Shanghai's second-in-command's face, Xiao Yan was certain that there was more to the story.
