Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 162 Burning Smoke City

At night.

A small boat sailed along the Kutuo River and entered the brightly lit Zhuoyan City.

Zuo Lingquan stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the various people along the street.

Zhuoyan City is similar to Qihuang Town outside Qihuang Valley. It is named after the Zhuoyan Sect built along the river. Strictly speaking, it is a fairyland market.

We say "wild" because there are such places near each sect for local monks to gather and socialize, and the routes drawn by the nine sects cannot be covered by every sect. These places are maintained by the local sects. Order is not as safe as Linyuan Port.

Burning Smoke City is famous for its weapon refining, and all kinds of Law Weapons are indispensable for monks. The prosperity of this place is obvious; as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, many small sects and Independent Cultivators who are good at weapon refining will also rent auras around Burning Smoke City. In the abundant mountain courtyard, you can earn some magic money through your crafts.

According to the information provided by Shangguan Lingye, Lei Hongliang was a disciple of Heavenly Emperor City. Later, his master was expelled from Heavenly Emperor City and was implicated in leaving the sect. Relying on the relationship, he was taken in by Zhuoyan City of the lower sect and became a guest minister, gradually becoming famous. .

Zuo Lingquan met Zhang Zhengye and others at noon. After a little inquiry, he learned that Lei Hongliang had a high status in Zhuoyan City because of his good craftsmanship. He also held the position of serving elder of Zhuoyan Sect and rarely showed up.

As for the realm, Lei Hongliang, as a weapon refiner, has materials and treasures delivered to his door by others, and it is impossible to fight with others, so no one knows the specific realm of Youhuang.

Apart from these, Zuo Lingquan couldn't find out anything else, so he left midway and took a boat to Zhuoyan City.

Zhuoyan City is located in the upper reaches of the Kutuo River. There are few ordinary people in the city. The only people you can see on the streets are monks. The Qi Refining Realm dominates, and you can't see them no matter how high they are.

Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxun had been in the small cabin for a few days and felt a little bored. At this time, they also walked out and stood beside Zuo Lingquan, looking at the environment on the street.

Because they were in different places, the two women were dressed very elegantly, wearing curtains and hats. Wu Qingwan deliberately made her breasts smaller, while Tang Jingxuan put on an ordinary cloth skirt.

Tuanzi is naughty and smart, and easily attracts attention. Zuo Lingquan suffered a loss once in Linyuan Port. This time he gave Tuanzi a good lesson on the road, telling him to pretend to be stupid, otherwise he would run out of food.

Tuanzi was very obedient and stopped barking at this time. He squatted on Zuo Lingquan's shoulder, tilting his head and looking blank. He looked stupid at first glance.

It was not easy for Zuo Lingquan to learn this step, so he stopped caring about Tuanzi. After the boat docked in a place where there were many boats, he walked up the street.

Shangguan Lingye's private ferry is the Law Treasure customized by Zie Yue Lin. It has all the functions of ordinary ferries, and there are also a lot of special functions. Hiding the whereabouts and automatically finding the owner are just the basics. It can even be made old and disguised as If you don't destroy an ordinary ship, you won't notice anything unusual at all.

The monks in the Qi Refining Realm have no choice but to eat and sleep. There are also inns and restaurants on the street, and like other immortal markets, they only accept immortal money.

Zuo Lingquan took two women and walked around the street. They chose a street with high traffic and opened a room in the inn next to it.

The reason why I don't live on a boat is because opening the isolation circle may make people suspicious. If it is not open, it is inconvenient. It is better to live in an inn.

Wu Qingwan stood behind Zuo Lingquan and saw that Zuo Lingquan only had one room. She looked at Tang Jingxun hesitantly:

"Only one room?"

Tang Jingxun also felt that something was wrong. According to her thinking, the two of them would definitely have to 'cultivate' later. If she stayed in the room, she would be embarrassed to death. She also said:

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient, you guys wait later..."

Zuo Lingquan didn't have any evil thoughts for the time being and smiled:

"It's safer to live together. We can both sleep and sleep, day and night. Opening a room is just to find a place to stay. I'm going to the street to inquire about news. You just pay attention at the window, and you don't need to follow."

Wu Qingwan thought about it too, so she didn't say much.

Tang Jingxun has been in the market for a long time. Although she is younger than Wu Qingwan, she has a better understanding of people's hearts than Wu Qingwan who didn't care about world affairs since she was a child. She whispered:

"You will definitely come back tonight..."

Zuo Lingquan smiled and did not answer. After sending the two women into the house, he carried the package to the street next to the inn.

There is never a shortage of young monks setting up street stalls on the streets of Xianjia Market. Needless to say, places with a large flow of people are already full of people.

Zuo Lingquan spent a white jade baht to buy a stall selling Sanwu elixir, and bought a small bench by the way, spread out the black cloth, and placed locust trees and a few unsold pieces on it. Garbage ores, glowing mushrooms in the depths of the Soul-falling Abyss, and other objects.

Except for the locust wood, the others are all worthless gadgets.

The street stall is opposite the inn, and you can see the window where Wu Qingwan and Tang Jingxun are when you look up, but the inn has a concealment formation, you can only see blurred portraits, and you can't hear the two whispering together .

Zuo Lingquan glanced twice, and judging from Qingwan's general reaction, he should be talking about 'cultivation' at night.

His eyes did not stay at the window, but looked at the passers-by like a normal Independent Cultivator.

Most of the monks who can hang out in Burning Smoke City, whether they are weapon refiners or monks who come to customize Law Weapons, are of some worth and have high standards.

Zuo Lingquan sat for less than a quarter of an hour, and saw several male and female monks stop in front of the booth, looking at the pagoda trees on the booth, but they might not have seen the details, and finally left.

There is a high probability that those who are interested in the ghost locust tree are evil cultivators. This method of waiting and waiting is obviously not very efficient.

Zuo Lingquan waited quietly for about half an hour, and after passing countless people in front of him, he saw a valuable target coming from a distance on the street.

The person who came was a monk in green clothes, about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance and an identity tag with the word "Thunder" hanging on his waist.

When Zuo Lingquan inquired about the news today, he heard that only the disciples of Leigongshan hung this sign in Zhuoyan City.

Seeing this, Zuo Lingquan became more serious and did not look at him casually. He waited for the monk in Tsing Yi to pass by.

It's just that the monk in Tsing Yi didn't seem to have high vision. He glanced at his booth and moved over. He didn't notice the specialness of the acacia tree at all, and walked directly to the next booth.

Zuo Lingquan frowned secretly. His main purpose of coming this time was to find out the whereabouts of Qing Wan's second uncle. Seeing this, he could only open his mouth:

"This Fellow Daoist please stay."

The monk in Tsing Yi paused and turned around with a bad tone:

"You have to find the right person to use a pile of broken stones to deceive. Will the people from Taoist Leigong Mountain be fooled by you?"

"Fellow Daoist misunderstood, I just want to inquire about something."

Zuo Lingquan said and took out three white jade baht.

The monk in Tsing Yi retreated, half-crouched in front of the stall, and took the white jade baht:

"Say it."

"I came from Dayan and wanted to find an expert to refine something that would be handy for me. It would be the best for Thunder Technique. I saw that Fellow Daoist is from Leigong Mountain..."

The cultivator in Tsing Yi was a little surprised: "You still have some vision. The things I refine in Leigong Mountain are considered top-notch in the entire Nine Sects. What grade do you want to refine? What kind?"

"Low Grade Spiritual Weapon, preferably a mirror or ruler."

Refining the Low Grade Spiritual Weapon is not complicated. The Late Stage weapon refiner in the Spiritual Valley can guarantee that the furnace will not explode. The monk in green nodded:

"No problem, but you have to be prepared for the price..."

"Running all the way here, naturally I wouldn't joke with Fellow Daoist. However, I inquired at Linyuan Port before. More than 20 years ago, there seemed to be a mistake in the Law Weapon refined by Leigong Mountain, which almost killed a monk. …”

When the monk in green heard this, his expression changed. It was related to the good reputation of the sect, and he said dissatisfiedly:

"Fellow Daoist, don't talk nonsense. This kind of thing has never happened in Leigong Mountain. If it had, it would have spread long ago."

Zuo Lingquan brought the topic here, only to reveal his purpose: "What the monks at Linyuan Port said doesn't seem like a lie. What they said was in the name of Lei Hongliang, but it was actually apprentice Wu Zunyi who did it for him... "

The cultivator in Tsing Yi waved his hand and said: "You don't understand. The master leads the apprentice. Before leaving the master, the refined things are naturally the master's. The master is only responsible for guiding and verifying. This is the rule of the refining industry. This is the case in Heavenly Emperor City. Done."

"Then this rumor..."

"Well, no matter how old the master is, there are times when his eyes are wrong, so even if the things are the same, the price of the things made by apprentices will be 30% cheaper when they come out of the sect. The thing you said is either a monk who was greedy for cheap and bought it. I don’t accept the defective products made by apprentices; or the local fairy shop pretended to be inferior and didn’t explain it to them. This is a common thing outside, and it’s not my fault.”

According to the case records obtained by Zuo Lingquan, in the end it was indeed the middleman who passed off substandard goods. He pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said:

"That's what I said, but it's a fact that there is a problem with Law Weapon. It's not a trivial matter. That Wu Zunyi is still in Leigong Mountain. If I let him do the work, I don't worry about it. I'd rather spend more fairy money to find someone else."

The monk in Tsing Yi frowned and thought about it: "Wu Zunyi... There must be no such person now, but more than 20 years ago, I just entered the mountain gate. At that time, my uncle surnamed Wu was often praised by the mountain owner. Master asked us to pay more attention. I learned from Master Wu, so I have some impressions; but I can’t remember exactly when he disappeared. It was only after you mentioned this that I remembered there was such a person."

Zuo Lingquan nodded slightly. Since it was an inexplicable disappearance rather than a death, there is still hope of finding it. The specific information can only be asked by Lei Hongliang himself.

"I'm relieved to have a Fellow Daoist. If I want to ask Master Lei Shan to perform the operation himself, how much will it cost?"

"Don't think about it. In the art of refining, you are more expensive than expensive. Once you become famous, you will not lower your status to refine low-grade objects; if you want to find someone to refine, I will introduce you and give you a personal favor." price."

Zuo Lingquan knew that he couldn't ask anything of value, so he nodded, raised his hand and said:

"Then I'll offer 1,000 white jade baht, and Fellow Daoist will help me contact a reliable one."

? !

The monks in green clothes were stunned. After being stunned for a moment, they said:

"What the hell?"

"A thousand pieces."

"Custom Low Grade Spiritual Weapon, no materials?"

Zuo Lingquan spread his hands and motioned for stones to be placed on the stall:

"Fellow Daoist, do I look like someone with material?"

"..."

The monk in green had nothing to say.

The market price of mass-produced Low Grade Spiritual Weapons like Lei Fa can be close to a thousand. Find a craftsman to customize it according to individual skills. Packing material?

"Do you think you are the leader of the Nine Sects?"

"No, just an Independent Cultivator."

"Independent Cultivator, are you so big-faced?"

The cultivator in Tsing Yi got up and left. If it wasn't for the sake of collecting three white jade bahts, he might have blown up the stall.

"Hey Fellow Daoist, don't leave, I'm doing business with sincerity."

"Crap nonsense from your heart, Master Dao has no time to be bullshit by you..."

In a few words, it has gone far.

Zuo Lingquan watched the monk go away, then looked at the window of the inn, and shook his head.

Although the scene in the room is blurred and the expression cannot be seen, but Wu Qingwan can feel a little lost.

Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly, feeling that it would be futile to wait any longer, so she prepared to put away the carpet and go back to the inn to comfort Qing Wan.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the corner of the blanket was rolled up, another person stopped in front of him...
