Mind Cultivation Record

Chapter 569: The formation of suspicion

Xiao Mian planned to visit the Wang family's recruitment hall.

But before going to the recruiting hall, Xiao Mian had one more thing to do.

He must first buy a detailed map of Beisai Prefecture and even Xianyang City. Although the entire map of Zhongzhou originally obtained from Chi Lianxia was extremely detailed and exquisite, it was impossible to cover everything. Besides, it was unknown when the map was drawn. Yes, the natural landscape of the outside world may not change much, but the layout and style of Xianyang City is easily tampered with by the monks. It would be better to find a new map.

Following the waiter's instructions, Xiao Mian quickly found an alley.

Although this alley is not spacious, it is extremely lively. According to the waiter, this alley named Xinglong Lane is the gathering place for casual cultivators in Beisai Mansion.

Here, as long as it is something that can appear in Xianyang City, it can be said that everything is available. There is nothing you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy. Of course, because both parties to the transaction are casual cultivators with no foundation, it is inevitable that there will be a mix of good and bad in the transaction. Dislike.

While walking in Xinglong Alley, Xiao Mian was in no hurry to take action.

During this period, there were also two or three Jindan monks who took the initiative to approach Xiao Mian, either asking Xiao Mian what he needed, or selling the artifacts they had on hand.

Xiao Mian just laughed and didn't say much.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people paid attention to Xiao Mian.

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Mian stared.

I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Mian refined the thousand-year-old grass-headed miasma mother. These days, Xiao Mian just feels that even if he doesn’t deliberately use his spiritual eyes, he will see many scenes that he couldn’t find before. If he deliberately uses his spiritual eyes, Eyes, see further.

Although he didn't realize any new magical power, it was enough for Xiao Mian to be satisfied.

After all, the most precious value of the Ten Thousand Years Grass-Headed Miasma Mother lies in the trace of spiritual poison, not the heaven-defying effects of the decayed Three-Eyed Flower Feather.

After taking a closer look, Xiao Mian realized that the conflict ahead was caused by forced buying and selling. Xiao Mian originally didn't want to pay much attention to these trivial matters that had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to change his eyes. When he saw one of the parties involved in the conflict, Xiao Mian was startled.

Why is it him?

Just thinking about it, Xiao Mian frowned, and then he saw that without looking back, he had swept his right hand back and held a slender arm tightly.

The owner of that arm looked at Xiao Mian with a horrified look on his face, but his palm happened to be on Xiao Mian's belt, and he could reach Xiao Mian's storage bag just a little further.

Although the storage bag hanging on Xiao Mian's waist was just used to hide it from others, and there was nothing extremely valuable or precious in it, but regardless of anything else, Xiao Mian's daily expenses alone included three spiritual stones. A reserve of ten thousand middle-grade spiritual stones.

What's more, how could Xiao Mian let the other party steal his storage bag so easily?

When Xiao Mian turned around and saw the thief, he was stunned.

The thief was no taller than Xiao Mian's waist, and he looked to be about ten years old. He had thin arms and legs. He was skinny despite being handsome.

Under Xiao Mian's gaze, the thief stopped his useless struggle.

He didn't even succeed in building a foundation, so how could he be a match for a powerful Jin Dan?

Xiao Mian, who noticed the thief's cultivation, couldn't laugh or cry!

Good boy!

Isn't it because the ambitious leopard has been emboldened? An ordinary person who has not yet completed the twelfth level of qi training dares to steal in front of him, a middle-level golden elixir monk. Is the other party too courageous, or is Xiao Mian too easy to bully on the surface?

But at this moment, a gust of wind came.

Without moving, Xiao Mian just circulated his true energy and blocked the sound of wind in front of him. After a closer look, he saw that it was an extremely ordinary small stone. Looking around, Xiao Mian saw a similarly skinny girl looking at him timidly.

"Feng'er? Run!"

"elder brother……"

The girl's appearance was quite similar to that of the boy who was restrained by Xiao Mian.

Needless to say, Xiao Mian already understood the relationship between the two.

Presumably in the eyes of that thin girl, he is already a heinous villain, right?

With this thought in his mind, Xiao Mian let go of his right hand.

The young man who was stealing was quite clever. As soon as Xiao Mian let go, he withdrew his arm, tapped his toes, and moved away from Xiao Mian. He flew back to the girl, took the girl's little hand, and the two of them disappeared in a flash. In a patio next to an alley.

Xiao Mian didn't pay attention at first, but when his eyes touched the young man's real and false steps, he couldn't help but move - that was clearly an extremely skillful leg technique!

Is it possible that this young man is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

Or, does he have another chance?

Xiao Mian shook his head and calmed down.

When he looked back at the place where the chaos had occurred, he found that the chaos had gradually subsided, and the person who had caught his attention before had also disappeared.

There should be no mistake!

Among the two groups of people who had just argued, there were more than ten people on one side, but only one person on the other side, and this person was the one Xiao Mian had talked about before - Ou Haiyang!

Unexpectedly, Ou Haiyang also came to Xianyang City!

What's even more unexpected is that Xiao Mian and Ou Haiyang can meet again.

It should be noted that the world of spiritual practice is undoubtedly vast. Not to mention Zhongzhou, which is the first among the five states, even Nanyue Prefecture, where Xiao Mian was born, is also vast and sparsely populated. Usually, two people meeting by chance are destined to meet each other, but it is difficult to meet again after separation. Dengtian, let alone in Zhongzhou!

It seems that I and this old man Ou are really destined...

However, when he thought about the worries he had when talking about Ou Haiyang before, Xiao Mian was not relieved - Ou Haiyang was kicked out of the Lotte Inn because he ran out of spirit stones. After that, although Xiao Mian gave him 10,000 yuan, However, in this expensive Zhongzhou, even ten thousand spiritual stones would probably not be able to really help Ou Haiyang.

What worries Xiao Mian even more is Ou Haiyang's mysterious disappearance...

During the previous conflict, although Xiao Mian only glanced briefly, he not only saw Ou Haiyang, but also saw the monks who were arguing with Ou Haiyang.

At that time, there was clearly a group of more than ten people surrounding Ou Haiyang surrounding the poor old man. It was obvious that Ou Haiyang had fallen into a carefully prepared trap.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian was only slightly distracted and lost sight of Ou Haiyang.

Xiao Mian snorted secretly and continued to move forward.

If you don't see it, forget it. Now that you see it, you have to take care of it.

Within a moment, Xiao Mian came to the place where Ou Haiyang had a conflict with someone just now. Looking around, he saw that the people who had argued with Ou Haiyang had already dispersed and were scattered at a short distance apart. They seemed to be unfamiliar with each other. Gu Zide is setting up a stall.

Xiao Mian came to one of the stalls without leaving a trace, and scanned it casually.

The stall owner saw a customer coming to the door, and when he saw a new face, his heart moved. He realized that Xiao Mian's cultivation seemed to be only at the intermediate level of Jindan. The smile on his face became even brighter, and he nodded to greet Xiao Mian. He gave his companions a few different looks.

Xiao Mian was just looking for trouble, so naturally he didn't care.

But soon Xiao Mian was stunned for a moment, and after a slight pause, his eyes scanned the items on the stall, and then continued to wander, completely careless.

"Does this fellow Taoist like anything?"

"Nothing, just take a look!"

"Oh! If there is anything you like, please tell me..." As the stall owner spoke, Xiao Mian pointed at a broken round mirror and asked with a smile: "What's the origin of this thing?"

"You have good eyesight! This object has a great origin. According to legend, it is a powerful spiritual treasure in ancient times - the Qiankun Haotian Mirror..." At this point, the stall owner paused slightly and saw Xiao Mian did not interrupt his nonsense like the ordinary monks before, but looked at him seriously. The stall owner smiled awkwardly and got back to the point: "Of course, this is just a replica!"

"An imitation of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror? As an imitation of a spiritual treasure, it should be at the level of a magic weapon, right? This broken mirror is only a top-level magic weapon..."

"Fellow Taoist, you really have good eyesight! This..., this realm is imitated according to the production principle of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror, but after all, the Qiankun Haotian Mirror is an ancient treasure, and many of the spiritual materials used to refine it have long been extinct or have been destroyed. Extinct, how to imitate it?”

"If a top-level imitation of a magic weapon is in good condition, it will be a rare item when taken out. Although it has no use, it is always good to use it for decoration!" With that said, Xiao Mian casually picked up the noodles and said It was a broken mirror imitation of the Qiankun Haotian Mirror. After weighing it, he chuckled at the stall owner: "It's just broken like this, how can you see anyone?"

"Fellow Taoist, you really have a good eye! That..."

"But, I like it!"

When the stall owner was at a loss for words, Xiao Mian suddenly killed him and turned around.

"This..., Fellow Taoist indeed has good eyesight!"

Squeezing down a mouthful of old blood that was almost vomited out after being seriously injured, the stall owner looked Xiao Mian up and down, judging Xiao Mian's identity and net worth. When his eyes touched the storage bag hanging on Xiao Mian's waist, he was originally His expression darkened, but then he brightened up when he saw the white jade flying pendant - the stall owner could tell at a glance that it was a magic weapon for storage!

Even in Zhongzhou, not every Jindan monk can use the storage magic weapon.

As for the reason why the stall owner was able to see through the base of the White Jade Feitian Pendant, it was because Xiao Mian deliberately poured a trace of true energy into the White Jade Feitian Pendant.

"Since fellow Taoist sincerely wants it, I will offer you a minimum price!" Looking up at Xiao Mian, the stall owner said seriously. Xiao Mian remained silent and nodded lightly. The stall owner took a deep breath and started. The lion opened his mouth: "Mid-grade spiritual stone - one hundred thousand yuan!"

"Fellow Taoist, this is the lowest price..., tsk tsk!"

Xiao Mian looked at the stall owner with a half-smile for a moment, until he felt his heart tingle at the sight of him, then Xiao Mian threw the broken mirror to the ground and turned around to leave.

It didn't matter that things had developed to this point. After all, the seller and the stall owner were asking for a high price. Xiao Mian naturally had the right to bargain or leave directly. Before the stall owner could call Xiao Mian to stop, there was a snap, and the broken mirror split into two!

In this case, how could the stall owner be willing to give up?
