Chapter 103 Outer City (please subscribe)
Meeting old friends.
Naturally, I wanted to find a place to reminisce about the past.
Wu Tao lives in the inner city, and shopkeeper Yu is from the outer city. He must be a host, so he found a restaurant, opened a private room with enough privacy, ordered a few dishes and Lingcha Lingguo, and started Reminiscing about old times.
"Fellow Daoist Li, since the war between Wuquan Mountain and Ghost Dao Sect ended, I have returned to the outer city. I thought that Friend Daoist Li would also return to the outer city. When I went to the place where you lived before, I found that you had not come back."
"I thought for a moment something had happened to you."
"Today I saw Fellow Daoist Li again and knew that nothing happened to Fellow Daoist Li, which made Yu very happy." Shopkeeper Yu said.
Wu Tao had an embarrassed look on his face and said: "It's my fault. After leaving the weapon refining hall, I followed my master home and lived in my master's home since then... Well, it belongs to Junior Sister A Yao. Father……"
“I’ve been living in the inner city ever since.”
"I was negligent in not informing Shopkeeper Yu."
In fact, at that time, the outer city was still under reconstruction and order had not yet stabilized, so it was impossible for Wu Tao to go to the outer city.
From Wu Tao's mouth, he learned that Wu Tao actually became a disciple of a first-level and seventh-level weapon refiner. Shopkeeper Yu was very envious. As he thought, Wu Tao really encountered an opportunity.
"Young Daoist Li has a bright future, and he will definitely become a high-level weapon refiner in the future. Oh, by the way, do you still remember the piece of filthy crystal that You Daoist Li sold to me before?" Shopkeeper Yu took the initiative to talk about it.
Wu Tao nodded. Of course he remembered that at that time, he had some unpleasantness with Shopkeeper Yu.
Later, Shopkeeper Yu took the initiative to make friends with him, revealed important information to him, and cooperated with him...
This dirty crystal matter has just been revealed.
"I remember the matter about the ugly crystal. I was short of spiritual stones at that time. It was shopkeeper Yu who accepted the ugly crystal and solved my temporary difficulty."
Wu Tao's words were telling Shopkeeper Yu that the matter of Hui Jing had been revealed.
When Shopkeeper Yu heard this, he knew in his heart that the knot of filthy crystals had been resolved. He looked happy and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, the filthy crystals are still in my shop. If you need them, I can have them sent to the inner city."
The dirty crystal is a precious item, Wu Tao just needs it.
Seeing what Shopkeeper Yu said, he stopped being polite and said, "No need to bother Shopkeeper Yu. I just plan to go to the outer city tomorrow, so I will go to Shopkeeper Yu's store to pick it up."
"That's very good. Then I will wait for Fellow Daoist Li in the store."
Shopkeeper Yu and Jin Ke came to the inner city this time to meet the people behind Shopkeeper Yu's shop. The people behind him were related to Wuquan Mountain, but because they were separated by one floor, he couldn't contact Wuquan Mountain at all.
Shopkeeper Yu had made good friends with Wu Tao before, and also wanted to invest in Wu Tao, hoping that he would succeed in refining weapons and join Wuquan Mountain.
After chatting for half an hour, Wu Tao said goodbye to shopkeeper Yu Jin Ke.
Shopkeeper Yu and Jin Ke looked at Wu Tao and Chen Yao's leaving figures.
Shopkeeper Yu sighed and said: "This person is really different from other people. Fellow Daoist Li is completely different. By the way, I feel that Fellow Daoist Li is becoming more and more unfathomable. Fellow Daoist Jin, you are in the late stage of Qi refining, do you feel it?" "
Jin Ke pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know how deep he is."
A simple sentence is enough to explain.
…
The next day.
Wu Tao made all preparations and planned to head to the outer city.
The purpose of his trip was actually to go out of the city to the wilds, to the outer city, just as a side trip.
Chen Yao said from the side: "Brother, be careful. Although the strength of the casual cultivators in the outer city is generally not high, the order there is not as good as that in the inner city."
Wu Tao held Chen Yao's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior brother, it will be spared."
After saying goodbye to Chen Yao, Wu Tao headed to the city gate.
Arriving at the gate of the West City again, after leaving the city, he came to the outer city.
Walking on the streets of the outer city, Wu Tao found that many of the houses on both sides of the street were newly renovated. These traces showed that the last war caused a certain degree of damage to the western outer city.
Separated by a wall, it really feels like a world is separated.
He started in the Western Outer City, and he also knows what the life of casual cultivators in the Western Outer City is like. Therefore, Wu Tao also made some changes in his clothing in a timely manner to integrate himself into the Western Outer City.
This keeps a low profile.
Otherwise, the style of the inner city would be incompatible with the western outer city.
When he walked on the streets of the West Outer City, he would also see patrols on the road. He also learned from Shopkeeper Yu's words yesterday that after more than a year of construction, the West Outer City has almost stabilized.
After all, if the disciples of Wuquan Mountain want to harvest leeks, they must provide them with a safe growing environment.
It can be seen from this journey that order is indeed stable.
Rogue cultivators are like this. They don't have too many choices. Although Wuquan Mountain gave up on them last time, they will still come back to live here as soon as the war is over.
Not long after, Wu Tao arrived at Shopkeeper Yu's spiritual materials shop.
In the tea room.
Shopkeeper Yu was making tea, and the aroma of tea filled the entire tea room. After Wu Tao took a sip of tea, he took out a white jade box from the storage bag.
Pushing it in front of Wu Tao, he said: "Fellow Daoist Li, there is dirty crystal inside."
Wu Tao opened it and looked at the dirty crystal inside the box. This dirty crystal was left behind by the evil spirit that he and Zhang Li worked together to kill. At that time, this dirty crystal was sold to shopkeeper Yu for a total of five hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Thinking of this, Wu Tao took out five medium-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to Shopkeeper Yu.
Shopkeeper Yu didn't refuse. Selling the dirty crystal back to Wu Tao was already a favor. Not accepting the spirit stone would be a bad thing, as it would make the other party think you were making a profit.
After chatting with Shopkeeper Yu for a while, Wu Tao left.
Shopkeeper Yu sent Wu Tao out of the shop and looked at Wu Tao's leaving figure. He had made an agreement with Wu Tao, saying that they would cooperate with Wu Tao once the war was over. But now he knew that Wu Tao had a magic weapon shop and a master. The connections left behind were used to purchase spiritual materials.
Shopkeeper Yu wisely did not mention this matter.
As long as the friendship between the two is still there, the future will be long.
That's how investing is, you have to look at it from a long-term perspective.
…
Wanxiu Pavilion.
Wu Tao came out of Wanxiu Pavilion.
Since I came to the outer city, I naturally wanted to visit Zhang Li and see how Zhang Li was doing.
But after asking around in Wanxiu Pavilion, Zhang Li was not found.
Zhang Li did not return to Wanxiu Pavilion.
Wu Tao stopped staying in Wanxiu Pavilion.
He came to Zhang Li not for that kind of thing, but simply to visit in the name of an old friend. Now that he has a Taoist companion in name only, he will not do such a thing.
He looked at the sky and took the time to go to the wild.
During the day, the outdoors will be relatively safer.
Once night comes, the danger level in the wild increases sharply. Even experienced adventurers generally do not choose to spend the night in the wild.
When Wu Tao went to the wild for the first time, he had to be more cautious.
