Lonely Immortal

The patrol team's guards searched very carefully, and the city guard, Brother Lin, leaned on the side and looked at them lazily, with a clear expression of disdain on his face, as if he thought the patrol team's actions were a bit redundant, because Zhang Zhiwen was only at the third level of Qi Refining at the moment, so how could he be the murderer of Zhao Tiefeng? The patrol team was making a fuss.

However, Zhang Zhiwen was very cooperative. Anyway, all the valuable things were in the Immortal Mansion, including the Zhao Family Dan Dian, and he had destroyed all the worthless things that could not be put in. At this moment, he only had some seeds of the Solitary Immortal Grass on him, and some dry food. He was almost penniless, and the patrol team's guards frowned when they saw these things, and some of the dry food was even a little moldy, so the patrol team's guards were almost certain that Zhang Zhiwen was not a wanted murderer.

But if Zhang Zhiwen had not been prepared, he would have been caught red-handed, especially the Zhao's alchemy books. It would be a pity to throw these things away, but if he kept them on his body and they were searched out, he would be discovered by the patrol team and it would be impossible to enter the city.

Zhang Zhiwen must go to the city, otherwise he would have no news outside alone, especially in the past month, Lin Mingyue did not send him any news. Obviously, because of Zhao Tiefeng's death, Feixian City is now full of enemies, and the situation is tense. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen can only take the risk to enter the city. He needs to get more information and find ways to collect materials for alchemy. Otherwise, the longer he delays, the more disadvantageous it will be for him, especially in the wild. What if he encounters a fight? It is safer to go to the city, at least he doesn't have to worry about fighting.

It's just that Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect that Feixian City would be so strict in the interrogation now, but he still passed this level without any danger. Afterwards, the guards of the patrol team asked him to register his situation. This matter was nothing. He just made up a name and said that he was from Wuping. When he said he was from Wuping, Brother Lin got excited again and ran to get some booklet to test Zhang Zhiwen. Of course, Zhang Zhiwen answered fluently.

Brother Lin was a little surprised. He couldn't help asking: "Does the little brother know Zhang Zhiwen?"

"I don't know..." Zhang Zhiwen shook his head. This world is so big, he said he didn't know him.

"Oh, that's a pity. If you go into the city, go find him. He is your fellow villager, and he is also a good person with good talent. Remember, in Feixian City, it's much better to find someone to lead you than to be alone." Brother Lin, who guards the city, is kind, and it can be seen that he admires Zhang Zhiwen very much.

The patrol guards were also a little surprised. They looked at Brother Lin, but after thinking about it, they seemed to think that this guy was difficult to talk to, so they didn't bother to ask more questions. Then he looked at Zhang Zhiwen: "You are a third-level Qi Refining cultivator, so what kind of magic do you know?"

"I, I don't know much..." Zhang Zhiwen still looked honest.

Seeing him like this, the patrol guards didn't think it was strange. Many people who came from the secular world didn't know magic. They all got the chance to practice immortal cultivation by chance, and they all raised their cultivation to the second and third levels of Qi Refining in a muddle. This is not strange.

So, the patrol guards nodded, and then said: "Then just release some spiritual power and see."

"Oh, okay..." Zhang Zhiwen quickly agreed, and then raised his hand and released a spiritual power casually. After this spiritual power appeared, the patrol guards shook their heads. What kind of spiritual power is this? It's so weak. It's really a bit shabby. I'm afraid it's hard to kill a cow, right?

But the guards of the patrol team were relieved. Anyway, Zhang Zhiwen was not the murderer who killed Zhao Tiefeng. Since he was not a wanted criminal, he would definitely be allowed to enter the city.

Zhang Zhiwen hurriedly thanked him, looking submissive. The guards and Brother Lin shook their heads. They seemed to think that if someone like Zhang Zhiwen entered the city, he would probably be driven out at night. This curfew was no joke. If you don’t have money, you have to get out.

However, Zhang Zhiwen had successfully entered the city. After this incident, he had a clearer understanding of the four major families. The four major families had extremely powerful means. He had made careful preparations again and again, otherwise he would have been discovered by the other party long ago. But now it’s okay. He is finally back. In this city, he is still safe. As long as he doesn’t use the spiritual power above the fourth level of Qi Refining, it will be difficult for the four major families to find him.

However, Zhang Zhiwen did not go back to his residence because he was not sure if anyone was following him. At this moment, his cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining, and it was difficult for him to use his spiritual consciousness to eliminate the crisis. This was also a last resort. However, he planned to stroll around first, pretending to be a country bumpkin entering the city.

So, he wandered around the city until it was almost dark. He finally made sure that no one was following him, and then he returned to his residence. Before returning, he released the Transfiguration Technique again and changed his appearance back to his true appearance. After all, the residence was rented when Zhang Zhiwen had his true appearance, and this could not be neglected.

So, Zhang Zhiwen returned to his residence, but he hadn't been back to this place for some time, and there seemed to be signs of being ransacked. He didn't know who came here to rummage. Of course, it was probably not done by the four major families, because the real name Zhang Zhiwen didn't have much intersection with the four major families. Besides, this place was very remote, and it was probably other casual cultivators who came here accidentally, intending to steal something. Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen was relieved. Once someone was caught stealing in this city, he would definitely be arrested and sent to jail.

In this way, after a restless night, Zhang Zhiwen went out again early in the morning. He was going to visit Dengtian City today, and maybe he could get some useful information.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwen appeared outside Dengtian City again, and along the way, Zhang Zhiwen also heard some news, most of which was about the murder of Zhao Tiefeng. Anyway, various rumors were flying everywhere, but among them, the theory of love killing was the most common. When Zhang Zhiwen heard other people's rumors about him, he felt a little dumbfounded in his heart. These casual cultivators seemed to be no different from secular people, and they all liked these gossips.

But obviously, most people know that Zhao Tiefeng was killed by Zhang Zhiwen, and the Zhao family is now looking for Zhang Zhiwen. Everyone thinks that Zhang Zhiwen may have escaped long ago, and even went to other Feixian cities, and some loose cultivators The news is better informed, saying that the Zhao family united The four major families sent a message to other Feixian cities. Once Zhang Zhiwen's whereabouts were discovered, he would be caught immediately. The Zhao family would reward him heavily. Therefore, some casual cultivators felt that it would be difficult for Zhang Zhiwen to escape the Zhao family's pursuit. In the end, he would definitely be Will be caught and lose his life.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwen was not surprised, because this was something he had considered, so he felt that it was very wise for him to return to Feixian City again. At least the safest place for now is Feixian City.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief. Didn't Zhao want to arrest him? But isn’t he right now in Feixian City? Not only that, he also walked arrogantly on the street, with patrol guards coming and going, and no one noticed that he was Zhang Zhiwen. If it weren't for the purpose of improving his cultivation and getting rid of Zhao's entanglement as soon as possible, Zhang Zhiwen could have found him If you stay in one place and can't get out, then no matter how Zhao shi searches through the entire area near the Tianshui Mountain Range, you're probably just looking for a needle in a haystack, and there's no way to trace it.

But as a result, Zhang Zhiwen will not be able to practice, and he may be useless for the rest of his life. This is naturally not what Zhang Zhiwen wants to see.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen quickly entered Dengtian City. He went straight to Wenxiantang. Only Wenxiantang had a chance to find more information.

But when Zhang Zhiwen came to the door of Wenxian Hall, there were already a lot of people here. The number of people was at least several times larger than before. This made Zhang Zhiwen very curious, what on earth happened?

Therefore, he casually asked an uncle next to him who was a casual cultivator. Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen was young and seemed to have just come from the secular world, the uncle was quite patient and said: "Little brother, you don't know, do you? It's this time of year every year. , that was the time when the four major families sent their children out for training. This year, more This is true, and I heard that this year we are going to hunt a demonic beast of the ninth level of Qi Refining. This demonic beast is as big as a mountain, has a face like a millstone, and calls like a baby. This is the king of beasts. It is said that you need to kill this beast to hunt it. You have to get some strange beasts before they can be lured out, and those strange beasts are full of treasures, tsk tsk, these four major families are also powerful..."

Zhang Zhiwen understood what Uncle Sanxiu said. It turned out that this period was the day when the four major families sent their younger generation of high-level Qi refining masters to practice.

Originally, this kind of thing has nothing to do with other casual cultivators, but the four major families have regulations that the children of the clan are not allowed to bring guards. Therefore, most of the children of the four major families will find some rogue cultivators as followers. After all, they still need someone along the way. People will take care of them, but for the sake of fairness, the follower’s cultivation level must not be higher than the third level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, these casual cultivators plan to come here to try their luck, planning to become followers of the children of these families, because once they become their followers and successfully complete the experience, the rewards will be quite good, and there are four major families practicing Led by high-ranking disciples, there is basically no danger along the way. Therefore, many people come here early to wait to sign up. Whether they can be selected depends entirely on the wishes of the disciples of the four major families. Anyway, it is There's nothing wrong with trying your luck.

But after Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he felt that this thing was not as good as he imagined. A follower at the third level of Qi Refining? Isn't that just cannon fodder? Although the reward is as high as 100 low-grade spiritual stones, which is very attractive to low-level Qi refining casual cultivators, it still requires a life flower! Just imagine, the one being hunted in the end is a demonic beast of the ninth level of Qi Refining. How powerful is that? Although among the high-level qi-refining disciples of the four major families there are naturally masters of the ninth-level qi-refining, once the battle breaks out, no one will care about it, and the monks who are only at the third-level qi-refining are naturally the most dangerous.

But why are so many people willing to go? After listening to the words of the casual cultivator, Zhang Zhiwen realized that experience also depends on the situation. The children of the family at the ninth level of Qi Refining naturally hunt monsters at the ninth level of Qi Refining, while the seventh-level Qi Refining level naturally hunts the seventh-level Qi Refining. Monsters and monsters each have their own goals, and the children of the family at the eighth or even ninth level of Qi Refining basically don’t need any followers. They are already aware of the situation outside. They are very familiar with each other, and only the children of the family are at the seventh level of Qi Refining. After all, they have just broken through to the high level of Qi Refining. On the one hand, they lack experience, and on the other hand, they are not very familiar with the outside world, so they need to recruit some followers. , and the qualifications of the followers are very important, that is, they need to have rich experience in the field, and their cultivation level cannot be higher than the third level of Qi Refining.
