Chapter 172: Meeting the Red-robed Female Cultivator Again
The damage to the soul is the most difficult to heal. Even though Lin Xia took a lot of pills to nourish the soul, he still couldn't recover all at once.
So, they rested in Jinling City for another two days. When Lin Xia's condition improved a little, they took Xiao Cai and continued to head towards Qionghua City.
The journey was smooth and there was nothing messy.
A month later, they arrived at Qionghua City.
The Shangguan family is indeed a large family that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Qionghua City, as the territory of the Shangguan family, is prosperous and grand.
Lin Xia took Ling Cang off the flying boat. Uncle Rat squatted on Lin Xia's shoulders, while Xiao Chu continued to be wrapped around Lin Xia's wrist.
After the incident with the Binglan Flood Dragon, Uncle Rat and Xiaochu are now clinging closely to Lin Xia, following her wherever she goes. They haven't gone to the Qinglin Space to practice in recent times.
As you step into Qionghua City, the first thing that catches your eye is the extremely wide streets. The ground is very flat, and every brick and stone is clean, with traces of formations visible on them.
The streets were lined with shops, overflowing with goods. Lin Xia walked along the way. In the Treasure Pavilion, a dazzling array of magical treasures shimmered with a dazzling array of light. In the Pill Shop, the aroma of medicinal herbs filled the air, and bottles of precious pills were neatly arranged. In the Spirit Material Shop, rare spiritual herbs and minerals emitted a unique glow...
The buildings in the city are tall and magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and are magnificent. Some buildings are as tall as jade palaces, soaring into the clouds, shimmering with spiritual light; others are simple and elegant, as if bearing the vicissitudes of time.
On the streets, monks came and went in an endless stream, some on foot, others riding in exquisite carriages pulled by various spirit beasts.
There is still some time before the formation master conference held by the Shangguan family, so Lin Xia and Ling Cang plan to find a place to settle down first.
Staying in an inn is definitely not as cost-effective as renting a house. However, Qionghua City is the territory of the Shangguan family, and no one knows where to rent a house here. Lin Xia was just about to go to the market to inquire about it, when a beautiful and kind-looking female cultivator came over and greeted Lin Xia.
"Hello, fellow Taoists, is there anything I can help you with?" The female cultivator put on a smile at the right moment.
Lin Xia was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that this female cultivator must be an intermediary in the world of cultivation. "Hello, fellow Taoist!"
As an intermediary, he should make a living by taking a commission. After all, he had needs, so Lin Xia simply stated his request, "I want to rent a small courtyard in Qionghua City with three or four rooms. It doesn't have to be in a too prosperous area, but it's not too remote either."
As soon as Lin Xia finished speaking, the smile on the female cultivator's face immediately became more sincere, and her voice was full of excitement. "If I'm not mistaken, you are here in Qionghua City to attend the Formation Master Conference, right? If you want to rent a room, then I'm the right person to come to! Oh, by the way, my name is Wu Qingyu. What are your names, fellow Taoists?"
This female cultivator was so enthusiastic that Lin Xia couldn't help but smile. "I'm Lin Xia, and this is Ling Cang."
"So it's you two fellow Daoist Lins. Come on, I'll take you to see the house." The female cultivator looked very happy and immediately called Lin Xia and the others to follow her.
When Lin Xia heard this, she knew that the female cultivator had misheard, but she did not explain much and followed the female cultivator with Ling Cang.
Wu Qingyu was very familiar with Qionghua City. After knowing that Lin Xia and Ling Cang were visiting Qionghua City for the first time, he kindly introduced to Lin Xia and the others the special food of Qionghua City, as well as the shops with relatively cheap prices that would not cheat people.
There were people coming and going on the street, and Xiaochu and Uncle Shu were dazzled by the sight. Lin Xia had to pat the two extremely excited little guys soothingly from time to time.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the front, and then the crowd on the street quickly dispersed to both sides, and an exquisite carriage pulled by four lion horses appeared in the sight of Lin Xia and others.
Wu Qingyu seemed very panicked, "Daoist friend, get out of the way!"
Lin Xia did not hesitate and immediately retreated to both sides of the street with Ling Cang.
The monk driving the carriage was very arrogant. He didn't care whether the pedestrians on the street had avoided him or not. He rushed forward at high speed. Some monks had already been trampled by the lion horse, but the carriage still showed no intention of slowing down.
Uncle Rat on Lin Xia's shoulder couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly released a kind of pressure from an ancient mythical beast, heading towards the four lion horses.
The lion horse is a low-level spiritual beast with a gentle temperament, suitable for training and very suitable as a mount for monks. Feeling the pressure deliberately released by Uncle Rat, it was startled and neighed a few times, raised its hooves high, and spun around in panic on the spot, shaking the exquisite carriage behind it to the ground.
The monk driving the car finally started to panic, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly, even a little frightened.
However, no matter how the monk tightened the reins of the lion horses, the lion horses still could not stop and kept spinning around in panic.
The Shangguan family's emblem was hung high on the gate of Qionghua City, so Lin Xia naturally recognized it.
At this moment, Lin Xia was standing not far away, looking at the family emblem of the Shangguan family on the carriage. She couldn't help but glare at the culprit, Mr. Rat, on her shoulder, and said, "You're meddling in other people's business!"
Uncle Rat looked at Lin Xia innocently, his eyes full of admiration, completely unaware that he had offended the organizer of the Future Formation Master Conference.
What could Lin Xia do? She could only sigh quietly and pretend that nothing had happened.
"Waste!" Just when Lin Xia had just let out a breath, a cold female voice came from the carriage. It sounded somewhat familiar to Lin Xia's ears, but for a moment, Lin Xia couldn't remember where he had heard this voice.
The woman's voice was emotionless, mixed with endless anger, as if it wanted to cut through the air around them.
Following this angry shout, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly opened, and a young female cultivator in a fiery red dress walked out.
When Lin Xia saw the female cultivator's face clearly, her eyes widened in shock. She looked at Ling Cang, who was also a little surprised, and quietly shrank behind the crowd.
This female cultivator was none other than the red-clothed female cultivator who had once fought against Lin Xia in the Flame Secret Realm.
Only then did Lin Xia realize that the Yanhuo Secret Realm was also connected to the Tianyan Continent!
What a coincidence! The arrogant female cultivator in red in the Yanhuo Secret Realm is actually from the Shangguan family!
How could she possibly attend the Formation Master Conference held by the Shangguan Family? Wouldn't that be like enemies meeting and becoming extremely jealous?!
However, Lin Xia soon remembered that the female cultivator in red saw Xia Lin, not Lin Xia, so it was Ling Cang who needed to disguise himself.
