Fusang Sword Heart Diagram
Chapter 239 Entering the City
Rong Jiang exclaimed "Ah!" but did not doubt Can Ling's words. She immediately put away the water-repelling pearl and said to Can Ling, "Let's go through the secret passage and hide outside for a while."
The courtyard originally had no secret passage; it was Rong Jiang who opened one using a magical artifact. He grew up after experiencing the massacre of his entire clan in the Valley of Withered Glory.
In case of an emergency, they can escape.
Nothing else in the yard matters, but the adults' water-repelling beads must not be lost.
This water-repelling pearl is made of expensive and rare materials. To make another one like it would probably require half of the adult's savings.
Rong Jiang couldn't imagine how cold Ning Fusang's face would be at that time.
Their Kuru Valley only took on the job of refining water-repelling beads. It was bad enough that they wasted one snake gallbladder from the employer, but if they had wasted two, Rong Jiang didn't know how long she would have to work to make up for it.
The secret passage leads to the most bustling street in Shangling City. On both sides are magnificent buildings, hundreds of feet high, with carved beams and painted rafters, resembling palaces in the heavens.
Shangling City is an elegant city, with five-colored ribbons hanging down from the clouds, drifting and swaying, mixed with the simple and beautiful crabapple petals.
A vast water mirror floats in the clouds, reflecting the bustling city, the soaring cranes, and the swirling butterflies. Rong Jiang's figure vanishes from the water mirror.
The city was bustling with cultivators of all kinds, and sword flashes and silk shadows occasionally streaked across the sky.
Shangling City only prohibits high-altitude flight; altitudes of about 100 zhang above the ground are not restricted.
Unable to return to the courtyard, Rongjiang and Canling could only wander around the streets.
Canling sighed and said, "Rongjiang, we were too cowardly. We actually handed the courtyard over to the thieves. If Fusang were here, those two petty thieves would definitely not have returned alive."
Rong Jiang said helplessly, "Didn't you say they were thieves from the Miao Kong Sect?"
Even though he had lived in the demon realm all along, he had heard of the Miaokong Sect. The Miaokong Sect's methods were impossible to guard against. Rong Jiang was only afraid, and he was completely unaware that the Water-Repelling Pearl had been stolen.
Given the size of Shangling City at that time, the Water-Avoiding Pearl would definitely not be found.
Since that's the case, we should take a step back.
As long as she can protect the water-repelling pearl and complete the tasks assigned by the adults, Rongjiang can tolerate anything else.
He didn't feel there was anything wrong with just fleeing without a fight.
After all, his strength is so weak, unlike the adults who have powerful cultivation.
Rong Jiang picked up two books from a stall and, using the human way of addressing them, asked, "Fellow Daoist, how many spirit stones are these?"
I've been busy refining water-repelling beads, but now that I have some free time, I should brush up on my knowledge of the human world.
He cannot be a cultured demon.
Moreover, weapon refiners should be well-read, otherwise they wouldn't be able to forge good magical artifacts. The weapon-refining methods of the demon race and the human race also differ; perhaps he should learn more about the human race's weapon-refining methods.
"Three spirit stones, please." The stall owner, wearing a straw hat, spoke in a deep voice.
After spending three spirit stones, Rong Jianghua bought two books on mountains and rivers and found a teahouse to read while waiting for Ning Fusang.
Although he didn't know when Ning Fusang would arrive.
The silkworm spirit pounced on a piece of spirit cake and quickly drilled a hole in it. After an unknown amount of time, the entire cake was almost hollowed out, and the silkworm spirit poked its head out of the hole.
It asked in surprise, "Rongjiang, I think I can sense Fusang."
Rong Jiang nearly knocked over the teacup beside him. He steadied the cup and asked, "Really?"
Silkworm Spirit closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then said with certainty, "It's the aura of Fusang; she's in the direction of the East Gate!"
Rong Jiang quickly closed the book, put it into her storage bag, and led the silkworm spirit to wait at the east gate.
Shangling City has four gates: east, west, south, and north. If the adult's aura is at the east gate, she must have come from Fengyan Ferry.
Rongjiang and Canling were on the ferry at Fengyan Ferry Crossing at that time.
The large plaque at the city gate bears the three characters "Shangling City". The plaque is made of a purple jade that shimmers in the sunlight.
Such a valuable piece of spiritual jade was not coveted by any villains.
The city gates are guarded by cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion, and each of them possesses the cultivation level of the fifth realm. It is said that these purple jade plaques are actually treasures guarding Shangling City, and the city's protective formation is closely related to these four plaques.
As a weapon refiner, Rong Jiang's eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators, yet she still couldn't find anything special about the purple jade plaque.
This is mostly hearsay and just meant to scare people.
Many cultivators entered the city. Rong Jiang stood on tiptoe to look around, but it was Can Ling who spotted Ning Fusang first.
"Fusang is in line behind us!"
The silkworm spirit instructed, "You should stand in a conspicuous spot so that Fusang can see us as soon as he comes in."
In fact, Ning Fusang had already spotted Rong Jiang. After paying a bag of spirit stones and receiving a copy of the city entry rules, she walked towards Rong Jiang.
"My lord," Rong Jiang straightened her clothes and bowed.
Ning Fusang raised an eyebrow slightly: "The water-repelling pearl is finished?"
Rong Jiang had already guessed that this would be her first sentence, and a smile appeared on her face, "I will not fail your expectations, sir."
He handed the refined water-repelling pearl to Ning Fusang, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
Ning Fusang put away the water-repelling pearl and asked indifferently, "I didn't tell you in advance when I would arrive in Shangling City. Why are you and Canling waiting for me outside?"
Canling quickly said, "There were two petty thieves from the Miaokong Sect who wanted to steal things from Qingfeng Courtyard, so Rongjiang and I came out to take refuge."
Rong Jiang nodded in shame.
He and Xiao Can were indeed somewhat weak.
Ning Fusang replied, "Not bad, it has a brain."
Before breaking through to the Knowledge Realm, Ning Fusang couldn't guarantee that he could defend against the Miaokong Sect's methods one hundred percent. Rong Jiang's choice to avoid them was a wise move.
Looking at the boy with his eyes lowered, Ning Fusang calmly said, "Alright, go catch the thief."
The silkworm spirit returned to Ning Fusang's Fusang prison and stayed there, with Rong Jiang leading the way.
Qingfeng Courtyard is a small courtyard that Rong Jiang rented within the area Ning Fusang told him about.
Although it's unclear why Ning Fusang made him rent a house in this area, Rong Jiang has one advantage: she's obedient.
"Fusang, those two petty thieves live in the courtyard next to ours."
Canling pointed to the courtyard where Fu Sanyuan was currently living.
She used her divine sense to perceive that there were only two people in the courtyard.
Ning Fusang walked to the neighboring courtyard of Qingfeng and knocked on the door.
Rongjiang followed behind her.
knock knock --
A rapid knocking sounded at the door, and the two brothers, who were squatting on the ground dividing their spoils, looked towards the door.
"Senior Brother Fu, did that weapon refiner come knocking on our door?" Yu Qiao asked, turning his head.
Fu Sanyuan wiped the precious crystal, his tone nonchalant, "So what if you're here? With me here, what are you afraid of?"
Fu Sanyuan reassured Yu Qiao.
That's true. Senior Brother Fu is now at the early stage of the seventh level. Except for encountering those freaks, geniuses, or old monsters, with Senior Brother Fu's cultivation, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in Zhongling World?
"Then, senior brother, I'll go open the door."
Fu Sanyuan put away the treasures and waved his hand, "Go."
