Chapter 854 Treasure Hunter

Chapter 854 Treasure Hunter

Xihuang City.

Xihuang City is a city on the edge of Xihuang. There are many Qi-refining immortal cultivators living in the city who make a living by hunting for treasures.

This day.

A young and handsome boy, followed by a middle-aged man, entered Xihuang City.

The guide of Xihuang City, also known as the guide, could tell at a glance that this handsome young man was not an aborigine of Xihuang City, but from outside.

Because there is a legend about the battle between immortals in the Western Wasteland, many immortal cultivators who are close to the Western Wasteland City, and even those from the Western Divine Region, will come to the Western Wasteland City and want to hunt for treasures in the Western Wasteland.

Therefore, the profession of guide was born in Xihuang City.

Specifically provide routes for these sect youngsters who come to Xihuang City to hunt for treasures, or introduce experienced treasure hunters to earn an introduction fee.

In addition, the Pianpian young man's cultivation showed that he was in the Qi Refining Stage, and the middle-aged man behind him looked like a protector at first sight, but his aura could not be detected, so he should be in the Foundation Building Stage.

In Xihuang City, the aborigines basically do not have a foundation building period, only the immortal cultivators from outside will have a foundation building period.

But when entering the Western Wasteland, relying on the foundation building stage will not allow you to run rampant in the Western Wasteland. There are many dangerous places ravaged by wind and sand. Even if you enter the foundation building period, without the guidance of treasure hunters, it is easy to die in the Western Wasteland.

"One look at the robes on this man and the seniors behind him, he is from the sect, he is a fat sheep."

Therefore, more than a dozen guides came together and all bowed their hands to the young man Pianpian: "Is this man going to the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasure?"

However, the young man's eyes wandered around the dozen guides, and the protector behind him said nothing.

The graceful young man said with a smile on his face: "Yes, we are going to the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasures. I heard that there are many treasures left behind by the immortals in the Western Wasteland."

A guide said quickly: "Master, let me tell you, this Western Wilderness is dangerous. There are many Jedi. Even the foundation-building senior behind you may not be able to protect your safety when you enter the Western Wilderness." In a deserted land, it must be led by an experienced treasure hunter to ensure safety.”

Hearing this, the graceful young man said: "Oh, I have inquired about what you are talking about before coming here. I heard that in this Xihuang City, the father and son who have the most experience in treasure hunting are Hu Baye and Hu Jiuye? "

When the guide heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "It turns out you have done your homework. Yes, in terms of treasure hunting experience in Xihuang City, they are the father and son Hu Baye and Hu Jiuye. They led the team, and no one Lost in the Western Wasteland."

"But what?" At this point, the guide rolled his eyes and said: "Hu Ba Ye and Hu Jiu Ye are famous, but it is more difficult to recruit them.

Hearing this, the handsome young man glanced at him and said with a smile: "If you don't ask, you don't need to worry. You just need to take me to see Master Hu Ba and Master Hu Jiu!"

"Okay, please come with me!" Upon hearing this, the guide happily turned around and immediately led the way.

When the other guides saw this, they could only sigh and turn around to see if there were any other noble people who needed their guidance.

A quarter of an hour later, the guide stopped in front of a large courtyard and said to the handsome young man and the middle-aged man protecting the Tao: "Two gentlemen, this is the Hu family."

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I'll knock on the door!"

After saying that, the guide came to the door of Hu Mansion and knocked gently. After a while, a middle-aged man wearing steward's clothes opened the door. He saw the guide and obviously recognized him. He smiled and said: "It turns out to be Liu Le'er. What, are you bringing someone here to see Mr. Hu again?"

The guide, Liu Leer, first bowed to the steward of the Hu family, then gave up his position, revealed the figures of the handsome young man and the middle-aged guardian, and said to the steward of the Hu family: "These two men want to go to the Western Wilderness. I want to hunt for treasures in the land, I admire the skills of the two Hu masters in Xihuang City, and I want to ask the two Hu masters to take them there."

After hearing this, the steward of the Hu family glanced at the handsome young man and the middle-aged Taoist Protector. He saw that the robes they wore were very high-end, and he couldn't detect the aura of the middle-aged Taoist Protector, so he knew they must be at the level of Qi Refining.

Although Hu Baye and Hu Jiuye are famous in Xihuang City, they are just treasure hunters. They are only in the Qi refining stage and have not yet established a foundation. Therefore, they still dare not trust those who are building a foundation to cultivate immortals. Therefore, The steward of the Hu family said to the guide Liu Leer: "Okay, you go and tell them, and your mission will be completed."

After hearing this, Liu Leer immediately said to the Hu family's steward with a smile on her face, "Okay, thank you, Steward Hu."

After speaking, Liu Leer turned around and came to the young man Pianpian and the middle-aged guardian and said, "You two, I will lead you here, and then Manager Hu will take you to see Master Hu Ba and Master Hu Jiu."

The handsome young man glanced at Guanshi Hu, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his waist, and ten pieces of white low-grade spirit stones appeared in his hand. He threw it towards the guide Liu Leer and said, "This is your introduction fee."

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." After receiving these 10 low-grade spiritual stones, Liu Leer's eyes turned into chrysanthemums with laughter. Then he glanced at Manager Hu and told him with his eyes that he would give him some low-grade spiritual stones.

This was a deal between Liu Leer and Manager Hu. He would bring people over, and Manager Hu would introduce them to Master Hu Ba and Master Hu Jiu. If other guides come with their cultivation levels below the foundation building stage, Manager Hu will not let them in.

If you are not allowed in, there is naturally no introduction fee.

Manager Hu nodded slightly to Liu Le'er, and then said to the handsome young man and the middle-aged guardian: "Please come in."

"Thank you." The Qi Refining boy bowed his hands to the Hu family steward. As expected of someone from a large sect, this courtesy was quite thorough.

But the middle-aged protector behind him remained silent.

The manager of the Hu family didn't care about this. He also knew that the guardians who came from such a large sect were only responsible for protecting safety and would not care about other chores.

The steward of the Hu family invited the qi-refining boy and the middle-aged Taoist protector to the Hu family's waiting hall. He also ordered a maid to serve two cups of tea and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and invite Mr. Hu."

After saying that, the Hu family steward left the waiting hall and went to Hu Jiuye's training residence to ask for instructions.

Master Hu Ba is practicing at this time, but Master Hu Jiu just came out of seclusion yesterday, so this is why the steward of the Hu family invited the young man who cultivated qi and the middle-aged man who protected the Tao.

Soon the steward of the Hu family saw Hu Jiuye. Hu Jiuye was playing with a broken fragment in his hand. The material of the fragment was unknown. It should have come from the Western Wilderness. He was studying it carefully when he saw Hu Jiuye. The steward reported this and asked Steward Hu to come in and play with the fragments while saying, "What's the matter?"

Manager Hu bowed and said, "Back to Master Jiu, are there any immortal cultivators from outside who want to enter the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasure?"

Hearing this, Master Hu Jiu frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "My father is practicing in seclusion. Didn't he make it clear to you that he will not take anyone into the Western Wasteland during this period of seclusion?"

Hearing this, the manager of the Hu family said helplessly: "Back to Master Jiu, I will obey Master Eight's order, but the other party has a good background. He should be from the big sect outside, and the protector behind him is Zhu Basic cultivation."

【】

Hearing that it was foundation-building cultivation, Hu Jiuye lowered his frown slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go see them."

Seeing that Hu Jiuye did not continue to blame him, Manager Hu felt relieved and quickly got up and took Hu Jiuye to the waiting hall.

Arriving at the waiting hall, Manager Hu introduced the Qi Lian youth and the middle-aged Taoist protector: "You two, this is the ninth master of my Hu family."

The qi refining boy looked up at Hu Jiuye and saw that Hu Jiuye was in his early thirties, but his actual age should be older because Hu Jiuye was at the seventh level of qi refining. He had already inquired about this before he came to Xihuang City. Okay.

He said: "Master Hu Jiu is right, but where is Master Hu Ba?"

When Hu Jiuye heard this, he glanced at the middle-aged Taoist who was sitting upright, bowed to the Qi Refining boy, and said, "My father is practicing in seclusion. I wonder which sect my friend comes from? What do you call him?" What do you call this senior?"

The qi-refining boy said: "I see, I am Lingshan Sect Yu Qing, and this is my protector. Fellow Daoist Hu can just call him Senior Liu."

Hu Jiuye's mind turned around and he had already searched for information about the Lingshan Sect. It was a Jindan sect on the edge of the Western Divine Realm. It seemed that the father of Yu Qing should be a Jindan cultivator. Otherwise, there would be no one. A foundation-building immortal cultivator serves as his protector.

Now that Yu Qing's identity is known, Hu Jiuye needs to be careful.

In the eyes of these Jindan sects, the treasure hunters in Xihuang City are actually not worthy of any publicity.

If he could stay in the Western God Territory, how could he settle down in Xihuang City?

Therefore, Hu Jiuye ordered his maid to serve the spiritual fruit and the best spiritual tea, entertained Yu Qing enthusiastically, and then said, "Do you want to enter the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasure, fellow Daoist Yu?"

Yu Qing nodded and smiled when he heard this: "Of course, if I didn't want to enter the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasures, why would I come from the Western Wasteland City to find Fellow Daoist Hu."

Hu Jiuye's heart moved slightly. For immortal cultivators like Yu Qing who came from a large sect, they knew in their hearts that most of them just wanted to experience the feeling of treasure hunting, so he said directly: "Fellow Daoist Yu, I'll tell you the truth, In the Western Wasteland, treasure hunters have searched for them so many times. Although they have not set foot on them all, they are very likely to return empty-handed. I hope fellow Taoists can be mentally prepared for this in advance."

As a senior treasure hunter, Hu Jiuye must be mentally prepared for this, otherwise it would be terrible if Yu Qing fails to find the treasure and gets angry and asks the protector behind him to take action.

Yu Qing said with a smile: "I know this, but I came here with clues this time, and I will definitely not come back empty-handed."

"Clues?" Hu Jiuye's expression changed: "Is it possible that there is a treasure map in the hands of fellow Taoist?"

Bruise smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have a treasure map in my hand. I came here this time because I want your Hu family to take me to the location of the treasure map."

Speaking of bruises, he reached out and touched his waist, and a black turtle shell appeared in his hand, with white lines on the shell.

He placed the turtle shell on the table in front of Hu Jiuye and motioned for Hu Jiuye to check it out. Hu Jiuye picked up the turtle shell and looked at the white lines. The more he looked at them, the more familiar they felt, much like somewhere in the Western Wilderness. , suddenly his eyes moved and he put down the turtle shell.

Then he solemnly said to Qing: "Fellow Daoist Yu, the lines on this treasure map are correct, and my Hu family knows where it is. However, I ask for your understanding, Daoist Yu, that my Hu family cannot go to that place."

Bruise frowned, looked at Hu Jiuye and said, "Why can't you go?"

Hu Jiuye sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, Fellow Daoist Yu, that place is the burial place of my grandfather Hu Qiye. Therefore, my father has admonished that no one from the Hu family can go there in the future."

Bruise pondered for a moment and asked: "May I ask how much cultivation Hu Qiye achieved after entering that realm?"

Hu Jiuye heard this and said: "Seventh level of Qi refining!"

When bruises heard this, he pointed to the middle-aged protector sitting next to him and said, "Then please rest assured, Mr. Hu Jiu. Uncle Liu has the fifth level of foundation building and can protect us."

When Hu Jiuye heard what he said, he felt funny in his heart, but he also knew that these were words spoken by outsiders who were cultivators who were not familiar with the Western Wasteland. Therefore, he explained: "My fellow Taoist, the Western Wasteland is not the same as the Western Wasteland." It’s not about cultivation that you can break in, it’s not about cultivation, it’s about experience, it’s the experience that generations of treasure hunters have spent their lives exploring.”

"Nine generations of my Hu family have been treasure hunters. It was the sacrifice of seven generations that established my Hu family's position as the number one treasure hunter in Xihuang City. This is all earned with life."

Wu Qing didn't care after hearing his explanation, but said: "Then I dare to ask Master Hu Jiu, your Hu family has been treasure hunters in Xihuang City for generations, but why?"

When Hu Jiuye heard what he said, he fell silent, and finally sighed: "Of course it is so that someone in the Hu family can build a foundation one day."

Bruise smiled and said: "Then what if I use a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward for the Hu family to lead the way for me this time?"

Hearing what Wu Qing said, Hu Jiuye's heart trembled, and his eyes showed emotion. Boiled eggs are too precious for the Hu family. His father, Hu Baye, is now at the 8th level of Qi Refining and will soon be Having broken through to the 9th level of Qi Refining, if there is a boiled egg, there is a chance to build a foundation.

Once the foundation is established, you can get rid of your identity as a treasure hunter and leave this spiritually barren Western Wasteland to enter the Western God Realm to establish yourself.

However, it is not him who makes the decision in the Hu family now, but his father Hu Baye. Even if he wants to agree, there is nothing he can do, so he said to Qing: "Fellow Taoist Yu, please wait for me for a moment. I'll go." Where my father is practicing in seclusion, I will consult with him."

The bruise was not in a hurry, he nodded and said: "Okay, then you can go ahead."

Hu Jiuye warned the Hu family's steward to entertain him well, and then left the waiting hall and came to his father Hu Baye's retreat to practice, interrupting Hu Baye's retreat.

"What's the matter?" Hu Baye looked at Hu Jiuye calmly.

Hu Jiuye said: "Father, there is a young Qi-refining boy from the Lingshan Sect of the Western Divine Region, followed by a foundation-building protector. He wants my father and me to take him to the Western Wasteland to hunt for treasures."

Hearing this, Master Hu Ba immediately said: "Go and push it away. I have always told you that treasure hunting is just one of the ways for my Hu family to earn cultivation resources. To earn cultivation resources, we must first improve our own realm." , so that you can better ensure your own safety on your next treasure hunt.”

"Father, it's not that I don't want to reject them, it's just that the reward they offer is too high." Hu Jiuye said.

"How high?"

"A foundation-building pill!"

"What?" Hu Baye lost his voice slightly when he heard this.

"The other party actually gave up a foundation-building pill?" Hu Baye didn't believe it at all.

Hu Jiuye said: "The other party has a treasure map, and the area on the treasure map is the place where grandpa was buried. I suspect that the immortal cultivator of Lingshan Sect also wanted to find that treasure, so he gave up one Foundation Establishment Pill as reward."
