Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 471: Serve the food!

In the dungeon behind Li Jie's palace.

Xiao Ran lay on the bed in the dungeon, inserting silver needles into his body. The [Twenty-eight Acupuncture Methods] was the best acupuncture method for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It could have unexpected effects according to his current situation.

The spirit snake at the side has activated the privileged spiritual medicine mist of [Spiritual Incense Burner·Pharmacist] to heal itself.

Privilege 1: Elixir Smoke

After activation, you can use medicinal smoke on the target to quickly heal the target's injuries.

Cooling time: 10 minutes
While healing, Xiao Ran also practiced the soul cultivation method of [Clearing Wrongs].

This soul-cultivation method not only purifies the impurities in one's soul, but is also a method of nourishing the soul.

A strong soul means a strong spirit. After the battle yesterday, I had a splitting headache.

This is the aftereffect of silently reciting the name of Taihua Immortal and asking for the power of the Immortal to bless him.

Otherwise, how could his knife possibly withstand Gu Xintang's sword.

The gap between the two is huge.

The pressure is no less than when facing the yellow tide.

"It's a pity that I'm not familiar with Gu Xintang, otherwise if I could get Gu Xintang to beat Huang Chao together, there would still be hope."

But this sword also made Xiao Ran realize the gap after he reached Tongxuan.

"That's because they don't have any professional blessing. It's just that their swordsmanship is strong enough. Otherwise, they would be at B level or even A level. After completing this maze city, they must get themselves into C level as soon as possible."

Xiao Ran pondered in his heart that if he could enter Class C, with his professional skills, he might be a match for people like them.

The advanced profession of the corpse collector is the transporter. The advanced condition is that the basic requirement is to master the art of suturing, which is not difficult for me. However, there are other conditions. For example, the advanced materials are the D-level spell: Astrologer, and the D-level spell: Lucky Man.

In addition to this, it seems that another special condition must be met in order to meet the advancement standards.

However, this condition is not explained in the [Beginner's Manual].

The Lucky Man's spell is extremely expensive in Penglai Tower, because most professions require this spell as a base for advancement.

Once it appears, it will definitely be sent to the boutique trading area of Penglai Tower. In that case, it cannot be bought simply by spending money.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran himself possesses this curse pattern.

The advanced profession of Henglian is Weapon Master, and this profession is not in a hurry.

Although he did not advance to the rank of weapon master, thanks to the [Eight Treasures], he had mastered the weapon master's professional skills and extraordinary powers early on.

Therefore, whether you advance or not is not important.

As for the advanced profession of the last profession [Lucky Man], it is Full-time Master.

Xiao Ran had no plans to develop in this direction.

Not to mention that the advanced bedding materials of [Lucky Man] are in short supply and difficult to buy, Xiao Ran was unable to figure out its professional skill, Luck.

Just knowing that using it can temporarily improve your luck, but it is hard to say how it is manifested specifically, after all, this thing is too ethereal.

The Lucky One's advancement requirements are also very strange.

Challenge three impossible accidents. The specific [Beginner's Manual] does not mention it.

This is where the Changchun Society is so smart. They give you the advancement sequence, but the information in key places is always a little vague. In order to advance, you still have to go to the Changchun Society to inquire.

In this way, even if Changchun Club is unable to recruit any elite master, it can still make the other party owe it a favor through this method.

The Changchun Society's calculations have really calculated every newcomer. If the sky collapses and the earth breaks, and the mysterious city falls to the ground, it is hard to imagine how much say the Changchun Society will have.

However, it was precisely because of the Changchun Society's ostentation that the Yinshan Taoist and others plotted against it behind the scenes.

All I can say is that you deserve it!

It was around noon when Xiao Ran exhaled, opened his eyes, and felt that his injuries had almost healed.

It was because he was protected by the dragon soft armor, otherwise he would have been seriously injured yesterday.

After pulling out the silver needles from his body, Xiao Ran stood up and stretched his muscles. Then he walked out of the cell. Outside the cell, he saw the second in command standing in the distance, eating a piece of cake with relish.

After seeing Xiao Ran coming out, he quickly stuffed the pastry into his mouth and pointed to the three centimeters in front of the door.

Xiao Ran took a look and saw Sanli sitting on the ground with a knife in his hand. His eyes were lifeless, but he was always looking around. There was a knife mark on the ground five meters away, which was obviously the warning line drawn by Sanli.

As long as someone crosses this line, no matter who it is, Sanli will draw his sword and chop them down without hesitation.

"You've worked hard. Go back and have a rest first."

Xiao Ran walked up to Sanli, patted the guy on the shoulder and said, after all, after Sanli was transformed by him, he had his own thoughts and could no longer be simply regarded as a tool.

Sanli nodded, stood up, and waited for Xiao Ran to activate the [Yin Bing Gourd] on his waist. Then he flashed and was sucked into the gourd.

After putting the three cents into the gourd, the second in command came over happily.

"Why are you here? Is my wife out of quarantine?"

Xiao Ran looked at the second in command and asked.

"No!" The second in command shook his head and finished his food. "I haven't come out yet. I came here because someone outside is looking for you, young master."

"Looking for me? Who?" Xiao Ran immediately became alert after saying this: "If it's the Gu family sisters, tell them that I haven't been released yet and ask them to go back quickly."

It’s not that Xiao Ran hates the sisters, but he just can’t stand them enough.

Or in other words...sisters are not my type.

"No, not sisters."

The second in command curled his lips and thought, "They are such nice sisters, why do you still despise them? If they are thirsty, they will die of drought, and if they are flooded, they will die of flooding."

Of course, he only dared to think about this in his mind and didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Who is that??"

The second in command wanted to keep it a secret, but when he saw Xiao Ran's hand had already begun to rest on his shoulder, he shuddered and said quickly, "Master Wuye, I came so early in the morning. I have been waiting for you here until this hour."

"he??"

Xiao Ran frowned, wondering why this guy came here to find him.

After tidying up his clothes, Xiao Ran followed the second in command and ran to the front hall.

Naturally, Li Jie personally accompanied Wuye Taoist.

When Xiao Ran arrived at the front hall, he saw Taoist Wuye holding Li Jie's arm to feel his pulse. Seeing Xiao Ran coming, Taoist Wuye stood up with a smile and said, "I am Wuye, and I am sorry to bother you and disturb your rest. Please forgive me."

"I dare not, but as one of the judges of this sword review, aren't you afraid of being gossiped about by coming to me like this?"

"What gossip?? It's good enough that I don't gossip about them."

Taoist Wuye sat down again, picked up the brush and quickly wrote a prescription on the ink on the small table beside him, and handed it to Li Jie: "Your Highness, take the medicine according to the prescription, it can strengthen your body and replenish your energy. In about three years, you can replenish the lost energy and blood."

"Three years?"

Li Jie widened his eyes.

"My prescription can make up for your loss in three years. This is already a favor from the ancestors. The evil skills you practice seem to make you strong and healthy, and immortal, but in fact, it is hollowing out your own body. Fortunately, you haven't practiced deeply, otherwise the medicine would be useless."

Li Jie curled his lips, obviously disagreeing with the old Taoist's words, and even said a little unconvinced; "You are just bragging, I didn't see so many people die, my royal brother..."

Halfway through his speech, Li Jie realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut his mouth.

But how could the old Taoist not know? Hearing this, he just sneered: "I met the emperor not long ago. Guess how long he can live?"

As soon as the old Taoist priest said this, Li Jie's body began to tremble uncontrollably and he looked around hurriedly. Fortunately, when he was taking the patient's pulse, Li Jie asked his servants to leave.

Otherwise, if word gets out about the old Taoist's words today, he will be the first one to suffer.

"Don't look, there's no one else around."

The old Taoist priest picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Xiao Ran was standing aside, listening to the old Taoist's words. He couldn't help but feel curious, so he asked, "Master, do you mean that the emperor won't live long?"

"It will be fast. If it is slow, it can last until the end of the Chinese New Year. But if it is fast, it will probably be within ten days. It depends on whether the emperor knows how to restrain himself."

"Hiss! Don't talk nonsense. I saw my brother a few days ago, and his appearance hasn't changed at all."

Li Jie looked incredulous. How could he not know the methods of his royal brother? It was impossible that he was as evil as the old Taoist said.

"This emperor practiced evil skills and his body was hollowed out a long time ago. If he could really live forever, how do you think the Huaxue Temple suddenly disappeared? The fact that the prince was able to return to the right path can only be attributed to the blessing of Emperor Taizong, who left a bloodline for your Li family."

Li Jie was stunned by the old Taoist's words. He couldn't tell whether it was true or not. He picked up the prescription and said, "Then I'll go get someone to get the medicine."

Li Jie hurried out to prepare medicine for himself, while Xiao Ran looked at the old Taoist priest: "Master, since you know that the emperor is practicing evil skills, shouldn't you kill the demons and eliminate the evil?"

Xiao Ran's words were both a question and a test. He wanted to see which side the old Taoist priest was on.

Hearing this, the old Taoist saluted and said, "Wulian Tianzun, I have wasted a hundred years and have seen a lot and know a lot, but my skills have not improved. I am not capable of exorcising demons and monsters."

After saying this, the old Taoist looked Xiao Ran up and down, and then said: "You, sir, are the best candidate to kill evil and exterminate demons with the destiny. Please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but may I ask the name of the person behind you..."

Xiao Ran didn't expect that the old Taoist priest could see that he had the support of the gods. After thinking for a while, he felt that it would not affect him if he revealed this matter, so he said, "Taihua too!"

The old Taoist priest's eyes widened when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "Good fellow, I knew this kid was someone important, but I didn't expect him to be so important?" An expression of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared on his face, and then he asked, "Who is Xiao Xingbang? That's not your name, is it?"

"It's from one of my cousins. You can tell that?"

"I am not very talented, but I know a little bit about arithmetic."

The old Taoist priest said with a smile.

"Then what did you calculate?" Xiao Ran became even more curious after hearing that.

"Oh, by the way, your cousin has a bad fate. If I calculated correctly, I'm afraid... Hey, I estimate that he won't live for more than two months."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he saw that Xiao Ran remained silent, so he placed one hand on his chest and said, "My condolences, Taoist friend."

But Xiao Ran immediately raised his head and shouted to the second in command with a sly smile: "One-Eye, why are you still standing there? Serve the food. Today, Daoye and I will not leave until we are drunk..."
