Chapter 158 Capital City Project
"Xinyue, I guess they won't let you stay."

Ding Huan spoke in a low voice, but he knew very well that no matter how softly he spoke, the other party would be able to hear him.

But he didn't intend to send a message.

He already understood why he could hear Zhi Qi's voice transmission the first time, but the second time it was enhanced by several levels.

The first time Zhiqi transmitted the message was to the old man and the young woman.

It was to tell them that he was worth seven tricks.

As long as he felt that Zhiqi's telepathic ability was average, he might convey some secret words to Xinyue.

These messages will fall into the ears of the old man and the young woman.

But Zhiqi's real intention was to tell Ding Huan not to send messages here because others could hear his messages.

If he couldn't understand Zhiqi's hint, it meant that Zhiqi was not at ease even with Xinyue by his side.

Qi Xinyue whispered to Ding Huan in Chinese:

“Xiao Tu, I can sense the look in that old man’s eyes. If I force myself to stay, they will definitely kill you and Lou Buzhi.

Zhiqi just sent me a message, saying that if I really don’t want to go with them, there are ways.”

"What method?" Ding Huan asked.

Ding Huan cursed himself for being too stupid when he spoke Chinese to Qi Xinyue. Even if he spoke Chinese openly, who would understand?

"Zhi Qi said that he can bring me to the Tianqi Sect in the Taoist world. He has a way to get me to join the Tianqi Sect. You just need to go to the Tianqi Sect and join me."

Qi Xinyue said.

Ding Huan was very grateful for Zhiqi's approach, but they couldn't do that. If they did, Zhiqi would definitely die.

After just a little thought, Ding Huan made up his mind:
"Xinyue, if we do this, then Zhiqi will definitely die. You should go to the God Clan first, and then find a way to join me in the Dao Cultivation World... Choose to be in the Tianqi Sect or outside the Tianqi Sect."

"Okay." Qi Xinyue nodded firmly.

After she finished speaking, she added:
"Don't worry, if I can't get out and rush to Tianqi Sect in time, I will also work hard to practice and strive to control my own destiny as soon as possible. I will never be bound by their things."

“Xinyue, you have not been able to reach the threshold of foundation building. It is very likely that you need the skills of the God Clan, so it may not be a bad thing to go to the God Clan first.

Even if you can't make it to Tianqi Sect to meet me in time, as long as we are both in this star land, I don't believe that we will never meet again.

If one day my cultivation is sufficient and you still cannot come out, I will go to the God Clan to marry you openly, and then tell them, what can they do to me? "

Qi Xinyue held Ding Huan's hand tightly, looked at Ding Huan and said word by word:

"Xiao Tu, I like the way you talk. If I can't get out, I will wait in the God Clan for you to marry me openly."

"Okay." Ding Huan only said one word, but his thoughts were clearly revealed.

Qi Xinyue stretched out her hand and pressed on the star house on Ding Huan’s chest:
"My heart is as tough as a reed. Please take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Qi Xinyue turned and walked towards the seventh shift.

Although Ding Huan did not send out his spiritual sense, he could feel the waves of murderous intent from the old man and the young woman when Qi Xinyue held his hand.

Ding Huan stared at the entrance of Xizhan without blinking from beginning to end.

Qi Xinyue's emotions seem to be so plain that they couldn't be more plain, just like the daily necessities of ordinary people's lives, hidden in the peaceful years and always there, but not earth-shattering.

She is the kind of girl who becomes more peaceful the more passionate she is inside.

Beneath that ordinary calmness, there is a firmness that others cannot understand.

The words she could say today, "My heart is as tough as a reed," were the most extreme words from the bottom of her heart.

He understood Qi Xinyue. He promised Qi Xinyue that they would get married after she established her foundation, and he understood when Qi Xinyue was eager to establish her foundation.

He also understood the meaning of Qi Xinyue's parting words.

That is from a poem, the original text is 'You should be like a rock, and I should be like a reed. The reed is as tough as silk, and the rock is immovable.'

It can be seen that in order to be with him, Qi Xinyue started studying Chinese characters very early.

As for Qi Xinyue holding down the Star House with her hand, it was to tell him that the woven buckles hanging on the Star House were woven by her, and she would not leave.

This matter made him feel unhappy, but as he said before, maybe Xinyue had to go to the God Clan to build her foundation.

He himself can’t even build a foundation now, so how can Xinyue build a foundation by following him?

"Brother Huan, they're gone."

Lou Buzhi couldn't help but call out Ding Huan.

Ding Huan tried hard to calm himself down and regain his focus.

"Friend, we are the city patrol officers, and we are here to ask you about the specific situation."

It was not until this moment that two city patrol guards came to Ding Huan to ask questions.

Ding Huan pointed in the direction where the seven or so people disappeared:
"You saw it too. I didn't know those three people at all. Not only did they kill people, they also took my friends away."

The patrolling city guards nodded. They had indeed seen the situation clearly.

Besides, they already knew something about the origins of those three people, so there was nothing to find out.

"I don't know. Let's go back first." Ding Huan took Lou Buzhi and left the tea room and went upstairs.

The tea room is a bit messy, someone will come to clean it up.

……

As soon as he returned to the room, Ding Huan began to calculate the identities of these people from the God Clan.

The result was not beyond Ding Huan's expectations. He really couldn't figure it out. Everything was blurry.

It shouldn't be a problem of great arithmetic, but his cultivation is too poor. Another possibility is that it is related to the rules of heaven and earth that he has never been able to figure out.

"Brother Huan." Lou Buzhi's voice came from outside.

Ding Huan opened the door.

As soon as Lou Buzhi came in, he asked:
"Brother Huan, are we still going to live here?"

He was a little nervous. The three people who had caused trouble for him today were all gone. After their injuries healed, would they come to trouble them again?

"If they still live here, they won't come again." Ding Huan understood Lou Buzhi's thoughts.

He knew very well that the real backer of the three people they injured was a man like the shopkeeper.

After the shopkeeper was killed by the gods, the other three would definitely not come unless they were tired of living.

Besides, he didn't dare to leave here. He didn't think Zhiqi's reminder was false.

"I'm sorry, Brother Huan, if I hadn't gone out to find something to do, there wouldn't be so many things." Lou Buzhi felt very self-blaming.

Ding Huan shook his head:

"It has nothing to do with you. Do you know why they can come to Youshixi Inn so accurately? It's because they sensed Xinyue's identity as a god." Whether Lou Buzhi goes out or not, as long as Qi Xinyue is a member of the God Clan, they will find her.

Ding Huan still doesn’t know what kind of existence the gods are and why the people here are so afraid of them.

It doesn’t matter whether he knows or not. Just as he told Qi Xinyue before, one day, he will go to the God Clan and marry Qi Xinyue openly to see what the God Clan can do to him.

"Then should I still go out and earn money?" Lou Buzhi always felt uneasy about not having a livelihood.

Ding Huan waved his hand:

"No, from now on you should practice hard and prepare for the sect's big move in a month. By the way, what are you practicing?"

Lou Buzhi took out a manual from his pocket and handed it to Ding Huan:

"Brother Huan, this is it."

"The Way of Alchemy"?
Ding Huan flipped it open and took a look at it in confusion, and it turned out to be a book on how to achieve enlightenment through alchemy.

It’s not that Lou didn’t know how to achieve enlightenment through the elixir, but the person who wrote this book of exercises had already achieved enlightenment through the elixir, so he wrote this book of exercises.

People who come after him can find a new way by just practicing according to this method.

"I don't know, this technique is not simple, where did you get it from?"

Ding Huan only flipped through it and knew that this was not an ordinary street item.

Lou Buzhi rubbed his head shyly:

"It was obtained from the medicine cauldron."

Ding Huan realized that Lou Buzhi had obtained the medicine cauldron and this martial arts technique.

He couldn't keep the medicine cauldron, so he could only give it away.

I guess even the guys who got the medicine cauldron never thought that Lou Buzhi also left behind a book of martial arts techniques.

In fact, not only Lou didn't know, but Ding Qi also left something better behind?

The Mirror of Heaven and Earth, that is the real treasure.

Ding Huan specially looked at the foundation-building of "The Way of Alchemy", which was far different from what he had imagined. It was based on the way of alchemy to forge the Taoist body.

It was of almost no reference value to him, so he casually returned "The Way of Alchemy" to Lou Buzhi:

"I don't know. Your technique is amazing, but it's not easy to practice because it requires the cooperation of elixirs."

This technique requires elixirs for each level. Lou Buzhi doesn't have elixirs and can't make elixirs himself, so he can't advance at all.

Lou Buzhi nodded:

"I know, so this time the Taoist sect came to recruit disciples. If I have the chance, I plan to join an alchemy sect."

Ding Huan agreed with Lou Buzhi's idea.

……

Ding Huan thought that someone would come to question him about what happened in the teahouse on the first floor of Xizhan.

What he didn't expect was that he actually calmed down.

Since no one was looking for him, Ding Huan naturally wouldn't cause trouble.

Thinking that there was nearly a month left, he simply continued to study the arithmetic of large-scale calculations in the room.

His grand calculus was too vast and complicated. Regardless of whether it was due to his lack of cultivation that some things could not be calculated, Ding Huan felt that his understanding of the grand calculus was still far from enough.

This made Ding Huan concentrate all his attention on this big arithmetic.

After absorbing two pots of Divine Crystals, the iron pot in the backpack began to absorb slowly or even stopped.

Ding Huan also started to cook some meals using the iron pot, just as he expected.

After absorbing the vitality of the God-Blossoming Crystal, whatever the iron pot cooked became delicious. Not only that, it seemed that there was also feedback from the vitality of heaven and earth.

What surprised Ding Huan was that the effect of the iron pot infiltrating the vital energy of heaven and earth into the food was slowly increasing with time.

Doesn't this mean that as long as he has enough time, one day he will be able to cook with an iron pot, which is better than practicing and absorbing?

Time passed day by day, and on this day Ding Huan did some calculations for himself as usual.

When he vaguely saw himself falling from the upper floor of the inn, he felt something was wrong.

He definitely wouldn't fall down for no reason. He must have been knocked down by someone.

In that case, let's just leave here early.

Anyway, I will have to go to Daye City to participate in the selection of sect disciples in the future, so I might as well go now.

He called Lou Buzhi and Lao Liu and quickly checked out and left.

After Qi Xinyue left, Lao Liu was still heartless and didn't even ask a single question.

This made Ding Huan a little reluctant to bring this guy along.

Ding Huan and Lou Buzhi did not choose to take a car, but chose to walk.

After resting in the wild for a night, Ding Huan and Lou Buzhi arrived at Daye City in the evening of the next day.

Before coming to Daye City, I felt that Jihe City was quite prosperous.

After arriving in Daye City, both Ding Huan and Lou Buzhi sighed that Daye City was truly prosperous.

Even entering the city was not easy, as there were huge crowds of people at the city gate.

"Brother Huan, I'm a little worried about whether I can be selected by the sect."

Seeing so many people flocking to Daye City, Lou Buzhi felt a little uneasy again.

These guys came to Daye City, probably to prepare to participate in the sect disciple selection in a few days.

Ding Huan himself was even more unsure, he could only say:
"Let's take it one step at a time. Who can predict what will happen before it even starts?"

He had calculated for himself many times, but he just couldn't figure out whether he could join the sect.

It seems that he is not qualified to make inferences about these Taoist sects.

Fortunately, Daye City is spacious, so once you enter it isn’t as crowded as at the city gate.

"Shall we find a place to live?"

Having said that, the fact is that seeing the flow of people in Daye City, I know it might not be easy to find a place to rest.

"Forget it, let's just sleep on the street corner. Look at how many people there are. Even if we find a place, we don't have the real industry coins to give."

Ding Huan knew very well that they couldn't find a place to live.
