Chapter 2034: Taking in the troops and entering the inner city for the first time
Thinking of him as a casual cultivator, he was originally of low status, lonely and helpless, and could only rely on cheating to barely maintain his cultivation. He was often treated coldly. When had he ever been treated so well?
However, Qin Tian was able to trust him so much when they met by chance. He not only entrusted him with a huge amount of Yuanshi, but also gave him a life-saving talisman. How could this not make the old man Wuwei grateful?
So he was shocked and did not hesitate. He immediately decided to hold his thigh tightly and patted his chest to guarantee:
"Don't worry, Nangong Daoyou, I will definitely live up to your trust. If I break my promise, I am willing to suffer the pain of being burned by thunder.........!"
Seeing the old man's firm eyes, Qin Tian also put his mind at ease for the time being. It was only a few thousand Yuanshi, which was nothing to him who had already been rich, so naturally he would not have any worries.
However, looking at Wuwei who was kneeling on the ground, he also hurried forward to support him, as if to show respect to a wise man:
"Fellow Daoist, please stand up quickly. Since you and I are of the same generation, why do you need to be so polite? Isn't this embarrassing for me?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the old man Wuwei's face was full of solemnity, and he said some heartfelt words on the spot to express his sincere intention to follow him:
"I have no way to repay the grace of saving my life before, and now I am receiving this great favor for nothing. I am so lucky to be valued by Brother Nangong. If Brother Nangong doesn't abandon me, I am willing to serve you in the future and let you drive me, and I will never have any complaints...!"
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Qin Tian naturally followed the trend:
"Okay! Since you have this awareness, I will no longer refuse. As long as you work for me loyally in the future, I guarantee that you will rise to prominence!"
As soon as these words came out, Wuwei was overjoyed!
Because he knew that judging from the young man's style of doing things and his generosity, as long as he had this promise, his future immortal path would be smooth!
So he kowtowed like crazy, and then he was flattering and passionate, as if he was fearless, and at the same time, he did not forget to swear a poisonous oath in person, promising not to reveal any secrets.
In the following time, the two conspired for a while, and the old man Wuwei just left quietly, but his back was slightly straightened, and his spirit was even more refreshed!
After all, with a backer, the old man felt that his status and position had risen sharply, and his steps should have been much lighter.
And because the "Falling Star Mysterious Stone" obtained this time was limited, it was not enough to repair and recast the Star Gun, so Qin Tian did not rush to make a move, but stayed in the reception room alone to drink tea and began to secretly plan the subsequent auction.
.............
Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
The Holy City is a little bleak after the fall. The streets are lined with dead trees and falling leaves, which creates a leisurely mood and makes people feel peaceful without realizing it.
However, the change in climate does not affect the prosperity of the Holy City.
The streets are still crowded with people as usual, and there is noise everywhere, which is even more than usual.
The reason for this is that today is the day when the auction begins. As a large-scale auction held once every fifty years in the Holy City, with the City Lord's Mansion and major chambers of commerce secretly promoting it, its grandness can be imagined. Even if you look at the entire twelve domains of the spiritual world, it can be called a large-scale event!
In addition to the Yuding Mountain behind the scenes, many cultivators come here to admire its reputation, and representatives from major sects come here in droves, wanting to see the charm of the Alchemy Holy Land and take the opportunity to purchase the necessary elixir materials.
After all, it can be foreseen that when the Alchemy Holy Land holds an auction, the most common items are definitely various elixirs, which are naturally very attractive to cultivators from all walks of life.
Therefore, at dawn, the city was already crowded with people, all heading towards the inner city.
Among the crowd, an old man wearing a Taoist robe, holding a dustpan, with white hair and beard, and a celestial appearance, also mixed in and moved with them, without attracting any attention at all.
There is no doubt that this person is Qin Tian after he changed his appearance.
However, in order to conceal his identity, he now appears as the VIP Xuanjizi of the "Cangyun Chamber of Commerce", so there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Not long after, after passing through the bustling outer city area, he soon arrived at the entrance of the inner city.
I saw a transparent light curtain, separating the huge inner and outer cities. It was obviously covered by a powerful formation. If you are not a person of good status, you don’t even have the qualifications to enter the inner city.
Below the formation light curtain, there is a slightly smaller wall blocking it. Looking at it, you can’t see the end. There are even monks in armor stationed at the entrance, carefully checking the identities of the monks coming and going, which shows that the inner city is heavily guarded.
