Chapter 185: Keeping the Good Things in Your Hands (Part 1)
"Only four thousand pounds? You are the grandson of the thirteenth thief." Gu Chi said.
Murong Zhixiu rolled his eyes and said, "If you were really that rich, there would be no need to rob. Besides, I wouldn't dare to touch my grandfather's treasure house."
After saying that, he added, "Besides, even if I could really lend you tens of thousands of spirit stones, you're broke, can you really pay it back?"
"That's true." Gu Chi scratched her head a little embarrassedly. If Murong Zhixiu could really lend her tens of thousands of spirit stones, she might not be able to pay them back.
In the end, Gu Chi shamelessly borrowed four thousand kilograms of low-grade spirit stones from Murong Zhixiu, and also learned a lot of information from him.
During the time when she and Lao Hei were in seclusion, the North was in turmoil and the waves were turbulent, and every day was very restless.
The turmoil over the jade slip intensified, and Li Daoxuan almost succeeded in killing the leader of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace, causing immense waves and alarming the entire northern border.
If the Holy Lord of Wanyan Holy Land had not come to his aid in time, the head of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace would most likely have died on the spot.
In that battle, dozens of supreme elders from Wanyan Holy Land and Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were crushed into ashes by the second biggest thief - Du'e.
Gu Chi was shocked. It turned out that the old Taoist priest in Yuhuang Mountain was actually the second biggest thief in the north - Du'e. No wonder Li Daoxuan called him the second brother.
"This incident had a huge impact. Whether it was the Fourth Master nearly killing the head of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace or the Second Master reappearing, it was a huge uproar."
Today, news of the existence of a passage to the upper realm within Jade Emperor Mountain has spread throughout the northern border and is no longer a secret, but no one dares to act rashly.
Since it involves the upper realm, even a top-notch powerhouse like a Half-Step Lord would be wary, because if this matter is not handled properly, it might alarm the big forces in the upper realm, and it is not impossible that a war between the two realms would be triggered.
All the major transcendental forces gathered in the northern border to discuss the affairs of Jade Emperor Mountain.
The Yuheng Academy's prayer ceremony for a good harvest was also postponed indefinitely because the impact of Jade Emperor Mountain was too great and everyone's attention was now focused there.
half a month later.
Huosangzhou is full of fire mulberry trees. The leaves are bright red like fire, and even the trunks are reddish-brown. From a distance, it looks like a sea of fire.
This place is not far from the Nine Holy City in the center of the northern border, only less than twenty days' journey. Gu Chi parted ways with Murong Zhixiu and walked all the way here with Lao Hei, deciding to visit the Nine Holy City.
Chi Ming City is the central city of the state. Its ancient city walls are majestic and continuous. According to legend, there was once an extremely prosperous aristocratic family here in the past. It has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and was feared in the north. Unfortunately, it was eventually reduced to ashes in the war and lost in the long river of history.
There is no eternal inheritance in this world. No matter how prosperous a family or sect is, there will always be a day when it comes to an end.
As soon as she entered the city gate, Gu Chi saw several portraits, all of which were the images she had transformed into before.
Xuanyuan Immortal Palace and Prince Wei's Mansion have issued wanted notices all over the world, offering sky-high rewards. Anyone who can provide relevant clues about her will receive a thousand kilograms of low-grade spirit stones!
"If you can accurately provide my whereabouts, there will be a reward of three thousand kilograms of low-grade spirit stones."
Gu Chi curled his lips. These transcendent and powerful forces were really generous. They would give out thousands of kilograms of spirit stones at any time.
She knew that whether it was the Xuanyuan Immortal Palace or the Prince of Wei's Mansion, the reason they posted the reward warrant was not only because of the grudge between the two sides, but also because they cared most about wanting her autumn silkworm gold silk.
Gu Chi rolled his eyes, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He said, "It's better to let me collect these rewards myself rather than give them away to others."
At this moment, on the main road of Chi Ming City, dozens of wild beasts rushed past in the air. On the back of each beast sat a Jindan stage cultivator, all of whom were disciples of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace.
"Damn it, after such a long time, there is still no valuable information. I don't know how long it will take to catch Qianhe. If she dares to show up, I will slap her to death!" A young cultivator from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace said coldly.
The leading young man sneered, glanced at the man, and said, "Sikong Tengchong, you think too highly of yourself. Even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage might not be able to suppress her. Your current realm is only the seventh stage of the early Golden Core Stage. What use are you to her? If you really meet her, she might slap you to death with one slap."
Sikong Tengchong didn't take it seriously and said, "She's just stronger in body and spirit. I can just bring a secret treasure that protects my spiritual sea and avoid a close fight with her, right?"
"Don't be arrogant. I've heard that Shen Tu Ling once fought against Qian He at the same level. Even this person who claimed to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Holy Son suffered a great loss at Qian He's hands."
The leading young man solemnly warned everyone, "You haven't even experienced a life-or-death battle. Your combat experience is limited to sparring with fellow disciples, yet each of you is so arrogant. Sooner or later, you will suffer."
These disciples of Xuanyuan Immortal Palace were responsible for searching for Gu Chi's whereabouts in Huosang Province. Over the past few days, many of them had been holding back anger and resentment, wishing to pull Gu Chi out immediately.
"I've really had enough. Every day I've been running around in the rain trying to track down her whereabouts, but I haven't even seen a single person. I really want to tear her skin off!"
"She's just a casual cultivator with no background, yet she caused such a big stir!"
Listening to those people's resentful curses, Gu Chi sneered, and he had already made up his mind to get the reward from Xuanyuan Immortal Palace.
The various buildings in Chi Ming City are full of the weight of history, and the streets are also very old, with potholes caused by pedestrians.
The city is full of fire mulberry trees, like the fiery red sunset in the sky, or like fire dragons crawling on both sides of the street.
Gu Chi walked slowly on the street, while Lao Hei transformed into a local dog and followed behind her.
In the past, there was a prosperous aristocratic family in Chi Ming City. Although it has long been destroyed and no longer exists, many cultivators still come here to travel every year, hoping to have the opportunity to find some opportunities for inheritance.
Gu Chi and Lao Hei walked all the way and finally arrived at the center of Chi Ming City. There were no magnificent buildings here, but there were many ancient trees planted.
It is not limited to the fire mulberry tree, there are many lush green trees that Gu Chi cannot name.
Gu Chi found a lot of rubble under these ancient trees and vines. After asking, he learned that this was one of the ruins of a wealthy family in the city in the past. Unfortunately, over the years, there was nothing valuable left except these broken rubble.
Gu Chi took Lao Hei for a tour around the city. After getting enough information, he left Chi Ming City at night and did not return until dawn the next day.
