However, after his warning, the old man would probably not reveal his figure to Xiao Miao if he did not want to be reduced to ashes.
What's more, the old man seemed to have no ill will towards him. He could also feel some of the previous actions of the outside world. Just the fact that he gave the sect's treasure to his descendants was worth it. However, this treasure was a little dangerous for Xiao Miao now. If it weren't for his secret help, it might have been frozen into an ice cube by now. It was a pity that the little guy had worked so hard to collect energy, half of which was used up in an instant.
"This Northern Continent is really a bit backward. The prosperity of this city is about the same as that of the Jia Ma Empire. I wonder how the cities in Zhongzhou are."
At this time, Xiao Miao looked at the pedestrians passing by and the nearby streets, and said with a little surprise that he was previously captured by Gu Xun'er, who directly used a spacecraft to travel. He had never seen the prosperous cities in Zhongzhou, and now he couldn't help but feel curious.
After inquiring privately, he learned that this space channel was controlled by the city lord's family, and immediately rushed to the center of the city.
At this time, an ancient city tower stood in front of Xiao Miao, but when he got closer, he found that it was very luxurious. This made Xiao Miao think secretly:
"I don't think all the money from this city will be used to build this building."
However, this thought was only fleeting. After all, he was just here to build a passage and leave, and he just complained a little in his heart.
On the way in, there were soldiers who came to ask about my identity, but they were extremely polite and did not look down on me. But if you think about it, if all the guards of this main mansion were like this, I might be killed one day.
After Xiao Miao slightly revealed his powerful aura, he immediately went to report, and soon sent guards to lead the way.
At this point, Xiao Miao was not too anxious. After all, he had come this far and the space passage would not run away, so he followed behind the guard. Considering the guard's level of cultivation as a great fighting master, the speed was actually not slow. It was just that his own level of cultivation had increased now, so he naturally felt that it was a lot slower.
Xiao Miao followed him for about an hour and came across the mansion. The mansion looked tall from the outside, but he didn't expect that it could cover such a long distance.
The two came to a huge black stone square. In Xiao Miao's vision, the square was extremely large and was built entirely of black stone. It was cold, but gave off a solid feeling. At this moment, there were still many guards guarding the square, maintaining order.
On a towering stone platform in the square, an extremely powerful force of space emanated from between the shadows. With the guards in front leading the way, Xiao Miao entered without any hindrance. Following the guards, he slowly walked up the towering stone steps and soon appeared on top of the stone platform. Although the people below seemed to be dissatisfied with the privilege of cutting in line, no one dared to show it, because the only exceptions who could enjoy the privilege on the continent were the strong or people of noble status!
Xiao Miao looked towards the center of the stone platform. There, a pitch-black hole ten feet in size was slowly rotating. An astonishing force of space was overflowing from it. It was exactly what Xiao Miao had felt before, but there was no disordered force of space. It was obvious that this space channel was very stable.
Xiao Miao couldn't help but think about the space channel he opened. It was still a lot worse than this. At least the landing position was always weird. But after all, the development time was too short, so it was normal.
Xiao Miao took out a palm-sized wooden boat from the storage ring. On this wooden boat, there was a faint flickering of silver light, which obviously contained a very weak force of space. This was also the space boat used in the space channel.
On the way here, the leading guard asked Xiao Miao. After understanding the situation, he found that Xiao Miao did not know the process of passing through the space channel, so he explained it in detail. Xiao Miao also spent several high-level magic cores to buy the space ship in his hand. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling ashamed in his heart, as he had crossed the space channel several times in the flesh, and fortunately he had the blessing of the secret technique.
When Xiao Miao entered the space wormhole, he felt a familiar feeling of slight weightlessness, but he had already gotten used to it. He looked around and found that this place was obviously much more perfect than the unreliable space channel he had torn apart.
Xiao Miao shook his hand and threw the space ship in his hand slightly. The water was like a fish immersed in the water, swelled by the wind. In just a few blinks of an eye, in Xiao Miao's somewhat surprised eyes, it turned into a ship several meters long and wide. The light-colored space force on the surface of the ship that was moving back and forth made it look very mysterious.
He jumped onto it in one step. Even if it was activated, the flying speed of this thing was extremely fast. According to the guard, it would take about ten days to reach Zhongzhou.
Just as Xiao Miao was preparing to sit cross-legged and practice to pass the boring time on the boat, an old but slightly energetic voice was heard, which made Xiao Miao frown and think to himself that something was wrong.
"It's developing really fast. Even things like spaceships have appeared. We didn't have such things back then. The younger generation all relied on the strong to cross."
Xiao Miao couldn't help but think to himself that he was careless and wondered how he could have forgotten about such a talkative old man. He was afraid that he would have to endure the torture of his words in the next ten days.
As Xiao Miao expected, as soon as old man Tianxuan came out, he started to pester Xiao Miao and started to talk nonsense. Although he could understand that the old man had been alone for a thousand years, he couldn't help but feel annoyed when he was harassed by him like this. However, he was helpless and could only accompany the old man in a random manner.
However, when examining himself, Xiao Miao discovered something that made him sad. He found that the energy previously stored in "Yi Jun Xi" was reduced by half. Thinking about it carefully, he was afraid that the heat coming from his body when he was refining the Han Yin Stone was the energy stored in "Yi Jun Xi".
Xiao Miao couldn't help but sigh. Isn't this what it means to have gains and losses? Feeling the ice crystals constantly circulating in his body and increasing the coldness, he felt relieved. With this, his fighting spirit attributes had a qualitative improvement.
However, remembering that he still had a seed of strange fire, he couldn't help but feel troubled. He didn't know what to do with it. If he took it back into his body, it would probably be suppressed by the ice crystals again. But in this way, the strange fire would not be of much use.
Chapter 160: A dress for Medusa?
Now the whereabouts of the origin of the strange fire has become a problem for him. If it is put up for auction, it can be sold at a good price, but the key is that the origin of the strange fire has been refined by him, and others can only use it after they become proficient in it, but they cannot get any refining energy. If it is put up for auction, it may even bring about a fatal disaster. After all, if he dies, the origin of the strange fire will become an ownerless object again.
After much thought, Xiao Miao finally couldn't think of a solution that would satisfy both parties. He could only take it one step at a time, hoping that it would come in handy in the future.
Along the way, Xiao Miao was harassed by old man Tianxuan and had no choice but to talk about things in the outside world.
However, the sight of traveling through this space channel made him feel novel. Sitting on the boat, Xiao Miao had a more intuitive feeling of the speed of the space ship. He saw the silver space walls on both sides "whooshing" back and forth, the speed was dazzling.
In this silent and dark space passage, a silver light flashed silently, and after a moment, it disappeared at the end of the darkness, looking like a lonely traveler in the sky.
And this so-called space channel actually connects the space points of two places and then makes the distance between them extremely short. The space torn apart by Xiao Miao in front of his heart is similar to this, but one can only roughly feel the direction but not the precise position. However, after the level of cultivation becomes more advanced, perhaps one will be able to locate the location accurately.
In this process of shuttling back and forth, time passed quietly.
In this space channel, a silver light flashed by. Xiao Miao looked at the light and shadow emerging in front of him. He couldn't help but calm down his boredom. He controlled the spaceship and rushed out. There was a hint of impatience at the corners of his mouth. He had been very upset these past few days.
After Xiao Miao came out, he was shocked by the prosperous scene in the city. Before in the northwest continent, alchemists were very rare, but now on the streets, he could see alchemists walking everywhere, even if their robes were only second or third level, but still, he could see the prosperity of this town.
After asking around, Xiao Miao learned that the current town was Qingling City, which was relatively close to Shengdan City. According to the information he had previously obtained, the area near Danyu was where there were the most alchemists.
Xiao Miao planned to ask around in the city first, and then find the space passage to the northwest continent.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods displayed on the street, although not as shocking as the previous space trade fair, it is still considered good, at least more prosperous than the Northwest Continent and the East Continent.
Xiao Miao walked past one shop after another. Although the items there were good, they did not attract his attention. It was indeed those colorful clothes that made him think about buying one and bringing it back to Medusa. That would surely make her feel better.
Xiao Miao thought so in his heart and made a decision immediately. After making up his mind, Xiao Miao began to observe carefully, comparing in his mind, trying to choose clothes suitable for Medusa.
Suddenly, Xiao Miao saw a commercial building with an elegant hall in front of him, but there were quite a few guests staying in it, so he walked towards it.
After Xiao Miao came in and took a quick look, he found that most of the people were in pairs, but there were also many people coming in alone. However, they were basically all women. It seemed a bit strange for him to come in alone.
However, despite this, a maid saw the situation and hurriedly took Xiao Miao to introduce the clothes. The clothes here were very beautiful, but the prices were also very high.
Under the guidance of the maid, Xiao Miao bought several pieces of clothing that looked quite expensive. But suddenly, Xiao Miao saw the bright-colored dress in the exhibition in front of him. His heart was moved, and Medusa's figure and face came to his mind. For some reason, and without any basis, he felt that this dress was very suitable for him, and he immediately asked the maid beside him.
Hearing the maid's offer, Xiao Miao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and was a little surprised at the price. This price was almost the same as a fifth-grade elixir. No wonder there were so many people stationed around, but no one bought it.
The people around were in pairs, but the women were obviously dependent on the men around them. Their highest cultivation was only Dou Huang, and it seemed too extravagant to spend a fifth-grade elixir to buy such clothes.
Xiao Miao thought about buying it and leaving early, so he talked to the maid beside him. Only after paying the fee did Xiao Miao take it in his hand. Looking at the envious eyes of the women around him, Xiao Miao ignored them at all. Just when he was about to put it in his ring and leave.
But suddenly, a charming voice was heard.
"Sir, I also like this robe. How about I exchange it with you for a sixth-grade elixir?"
Although it was a question, Xiao Miao could hear a confident tone in it, as if he would definitely not refuse.
Xiao Miao turned and looked towards the entrance of the hall, only to see a graceful figure approaching slowly and walking forward with light lotus steps.
The woman had a slender body and was wearing a black dress. She had a cold and arrogant temperament, skin as white as snow, and her three thousand black hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her face was a little thin, but extremely delicate, like pottery, making people feel like they couldn't let it go.
The woman stood in front of Xiao Miao and raised her eyes slightly. Her narrow and slightly lazy eyes were full of charm and allure.
At this time, the woman carefully looked at the young man in front of her. His face was not very handsome, but could only be described as delicate. The corners of his mouth raised a slight curve, which made his whole face look charming.
The black-clad woman's lazy eyes swept slowly around, and most of the people caught in her gaze felt a burning sensation in their hearts. However, most of them were men, and some even wanted to step forward, but the female companions around them looked unhappy.
The woman in black looked around and then stopped her gaze on Xiao Miao's hand. No, to be more precise, it was the gorgeous and beautiful dress. She couldn't help but be moved. As soon as she entered the shop, she was attracted by the dress. However, Xiao Miao got there first and bought it. Now she wanted to ask for a higher price to replace it.
Although the people around were obsessed with the woman in black, Xiao Miao was only slightly surprised, then calmed down, looking at the woman in front of him calmly.
Chapter 161: Strange Woman
Although the woman in front of him was very charming, Xiao Miao's heart was very calm. Beauty could not shake him, otherwise he would have to look at herself in the mirror every day.
The woman in black in front of her couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she saw Xiao Miao's calm look. She was obviously surprised at the composure of the man in front of her. In the past, every man who saw her was very attentive to her. Not to mention her identity, she herself knew that her appearance alone was enough to make countless men excited.
"I'm sorry, my wife also likes this dress. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
At this moment, Xiao Miao looked at the charming gaze from the woman in black in front of him without much reaction, nor did he have any intention of regret. He just spoke lightly, but the rejection in his tone was obvious.
"You are so brave, do you know who my lady is?"
The woman in black in front of him had not responded to Xiao Miao's rejection, but the real guard beside her could not help but speak, with anger in her tone and undisguised hostility in her eyes. But before he could finish, he was stopped by a sharp look from the woman in black next to him, and then he retreated unwillingly.
The woman at this moment frowned at Xiao Miao's rejection. It was obvious that she also wanted to ride on the skirt in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke again:
"These are two sixth-grade pills. How do you think?"
Hearing the woman's words, not only Xiao Miao, but also the people around them were shocked. Just one sixth-grade pill was enough to make them jealous, but now the woman actually took out two pills just to exchange for a piece of clothing. If it were them, they would have wanted to hand over the skirt at this moment.
But at the same time, some people had malicious intent in their eyes. They could easily take out two sixth-grade pills, but after looking at the guards beside them, they realized that this woman's identity was not simple. However, since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts, and there will always be people who overestimate their abilities.
Xiao Miao looked at the bid made by the woman in front of him and shook his head lightly. Then he took a step forward and walked around the woman towards the exit on the other side.
At this time, the smile on the woman's face had frozen. It was the first time she had seen a man who did not give her face. The guards on the side looked at the woman. If they were determined, they would go and pull Xiao Miao back from the door.
But the woman in black just shook her head. A piece of clothing, once it's gone, it's gone. In terms of value alone, it would be a loss for her to exchange two sixth-grade pills for that piece of clothing. The worst that could happen is that she could ask the store for something else.
"Excuse me, do you still have the same clothes as before?"
At this time, the woman came to the maid and asked lightly. Although her tone was flat, it gave people a charming feeling.
Although she was a woman, the maid's face turned red for some reason. After finally coming to her senses, she lowered her head slightly, shook her head and said:
"I'm sorry, but the dress you just wore is our store's treasure, and we only have one."
At this time, the maid in front of the woman in black spoke with some stammering, and looked up at her from time to time.
On the contrary, when the woman in black heard this, the last trace of smile on her face faded away. The gorgeous silk dress she had just seen was actually the treasure of the store. No wonder it was so beautiful, but there was only one.
The woman in black had already regretted her decision. She looked towards the door behind her, but there was no sign of Xiao Miao. Her pretty face puffed up, and she was obviously feeling upset.
At this time, Xiao Miao had indeed come out and was walking on the street. However, he encountered a problem again. Originally, Qingling City had two space passages leading to other places.
One is the space channel leading to Shengdan City, and the other is the space channel leading to the northwest continent, which is where Xiao Miao is going. The problem lies here. According to the guards, the space channel here is disordered and it takes time to repair.
It would be fine if time was fast, but it would take about a month for the repairmen to arrive. In this case, it would be better to go to Shengdan City first and then go to other places. It would just be a longer detour.
Xiao Miao couldn't help but sigh, this was the only way out at this point, and then he followed the guard's instructions and headed towards another space passage, but looking at the opposite position, Xiao Miao could only secretly sigh that he had bad luck.
About an hour later, Xiao Miao almost crossed half of the city and came to another square. He went forward to inquire about it. To his relief, the space passage was fine.
Suddenly, Xiao Miao saw the black woman in front of him. He looked carefully and found that she was the charming woman he met in the shop before. He didn't expect to meet her again here.
Feeling the gazes behind her, the woman turned around and looked back. After seeing Xiao Miao, she couldn't help but frown. She was obviously unhappy. The thing she wanted was taken away by someone else first. It was really embarrassing for her to do such a thing of robbery with her status. After a cold glance, she looked away.
Since the two entered the space channel in the same batch, they stepped into it one after the other.
Xiao Miao looked at this familiar scene and took out the previous spaceship from the ring again. However, he did not notice that the flashing silver light on the surface of the hull had disappeared.
Xiao Miao followed the previous action and threw it out again, but the next scene made him look embarrassed. He saw that the wooden boat did not grow as quickly as before. Instead, after touching the wall of space, it sank and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Miao didn't know what to do. He was extremely confused as to which step had gone wrong and couldn't help but frown.
However, the woman in black at the side couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this scene. She was obviously amused by this scene, and then she said:
"I'm afraid your spaceship is not a disposable one. It can only be used once and cannot be used repeatedly. Logically, the price should not be expensive. You should know this, unless... you have been cheated and turned out to be a sucker."
