Chapter 466: Changing Face
Relying on the external elixir beads, Nujiang Immortal City was able to cultivate a large number of Jindan monks.
In terms of the number of Jindan monks, Nujiang Immortal City far exceeds most Jindan forces, and even some Yuanying-level forces cannot compare.
But Jindan monks are different from Jindan monks.
The strength and status of Jindan early stage monks and Jindan late stage monks are incomparable.
The higher the monk's cultivation, the greater the gap in strength between each small realm.
It is relatively easy to defeat opponents across small realms in the Qi training stage and foundation building stage. In the Jindan stage, the difficulty is undoubtedly several times greater.
Generally speaking, without the influence of high-level magic weapons, secret methods and other factors, it doesn't take much effort for Jindan late stage monks to defeat or even kill Jindan early stage monks.
Correspondingly, the bottleneck of each small realm in the Jindan stage may lock Jindan monks for hundreds of years.
Even, they cannot break through in their entire lives.
Taking Nujiang Xiancheng as an example, there are more than 50 Jindan cultivators, most of whom are Jindan early stage cultivators, and there are no more than two hands of Jindan middle stage cultivators.
Although the external pill bead can speed up the cultivation speed of Jindan early stage and middle stage cultivators, the improvement is not as great as imagined, and it is not as good as helping foundation-building cultivators to form pills.
If it is a unique possession of a certain Jindan cultivator, he can use it for his own Jindan early stage and middle stage cultivation, such as Nujiang Sanren in the past.
But this is a common thing in Nujiang Xiancheng, and it is always necessary to consider the cost-effectiveness and the interests of all parties.
Therefore, Song Mingyu has been breaking through the Jindan stage for decades, but he still has not been able to step into the Jindan middle stage.
Facing Qin Zhou, a Jindan late stage cultivator, Song Mingyu has always maintained a kind attitude and is unwilling to offend.
If it were not for Nujiang Sanren's instruction, Song Mingyu's attitude would not be so tough.
'The external pill bead is lost, and Nujiang Sanren still has the mood to let people test me? '
Chu Chen was a little surprised.
Soon, he understood that Nujiang Sanren had to do this.
Finding the Wai Dan Baozhu is important, but for Nujiang Sanren, another thing is equally important.
The stability of Nujiang Xiancheng.
If the unstable factors in Nujiang Xiancheng cannot be eliminated, Zhou Chang's theft of the Wai Dan Baozhu can happen once, and it can happen again.
It is reasonable for Nujiang Sanren to use the loss of the Wai Dan Baozhu to test 'Qin Zhou'.
There are only a few cultivators above the middle Jindan stage in Nujiang Xiancheng. 'Qin Zhou' is the only outsider, and he is a late Jindan cultivator. How can Nujiang Sanren not be on guard?
Even if 'Qin Zhou' was introduced by Su Jianchen, it is still the same.
If it were normal, when Nujiang Sanren had enough life, he would not be so sensitive. As Nujiang Sanren's life became less and less, his mind changed accordingly.
'Wait, the Wai Dan Baozhu was lost, and Nujiang Sanren still sat quietly in the City Lord's Mansion? ’
Chu Chen’s mind swept across the core area of Nujiang Xiancheng, and his eyes suddenly fixed.
The Waidan Orb is certainly not as good as the other two treasures, but Nujiang Sanren is not so calm.
You must know that the loss of the Waidan Orb is likely to shake the future foundation of Nujiang Xiancheng. Nujiang Sanren can’t sit back and watch Zhou Chang escape.
The best thing to do is for Nujiang Sanren to join Song Mingyu and others to search for Zhou Chang’s traces.
With the ability of a peak Jindan cultivator, the chance of finding Zhou Chang is greater.
‘Unless... this matter is dominated by Nujiang Xiancheng, or Nujiang Sanren, from beginning to end. ’
Chu Chen thought.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of this situation is very high.
“I am not familiar with Zhou Chang, but this person has come to my house several times to buy array plates from me. I can’t let Zhou Chang hide in the cave.”
Chu Chen had some guesses in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.
"No."
Song Mingyu shook his head: "Zhou Chang is a thief who is very good at disguising himself. Perhaps he took advantage of Brother Qin's negligence and sneaked into the cave."
"In that case, Brother Song, do you have to search my cave?"
Chu Chen stared at Song Mingyu, his expression becoming colder and colder.
Although there are no treasures in this cave, and all the important things are placed in the Jianmu space, he still doesn't want Song Mingyu to enter the cave.
The cave of the cultivator stores a lot of personal belongings of the cultivator and hides the secrets of the cultivator. It is impossible for other cultivators to enter and investigate at will.
Most cultivators would not agree, let alone Chu Chen, a Yuanying cultivator.
He just wants to find a place to practice peacefully, and this place does not have to be Nujiang Immortal City.
It can be Dajiang Immortal City, and it can also be Nuhe Immortal City.
If he is forced, he will leave Nujiang Immortal City.
After leaving, Chu Chen will also curse Nujiang Sanren, Song Mingyu, Song He and others.
After all.
Yuanying can't be humiliated.
Besides, he doesn't bear grudges.
"The city lord has an order, please forgive me, brother Qin."
Song Mingyu said in a deep voice without changing his expression.
"Are you using the city lord to pressure me?"
Chu Chen snorted coldly, not taking a step back.
"Brother Qin, don't make it difficult for me."
Song Mingyu said as he took out a black gold token from the storage ring.
There are two big characters engraved on it, "Nujiang".
This is the Nujiang Imperial Order, a top-level third-grade forbidden token refined by Nujiang Sanren.
Once this order is issued, it is as if Nujiang Sanren himself is here, and can command the forces of all parties in Nujiang Xiancheng, and can control many formations inside Nujiang Xiancheng.
When Song Mingyu took out the Nujiang Imperial Order, the Nujiang Xiancheng cultivators behind him straightened their backs, and Song He even put on an arrogant attitude.
'What if I am a late Jindan cultivator? I still have to lie down in front of the city lord. '
Song He sneered in his heart, happy to see Chu Chen embarrassed.
"The city lord actually gave you the Nujiang Imperial Order."
Chu Chen's face showed a touch of shock, and his expression suddenly became ugly, as if he was thinking about something.
Song Mingyu smiled and looked at Chu Chen leisurely, as if he had everything under control.
"Forget it, since it is the city lord's order, please go in and check it out."
Chu Chen sighed lightly and opened the formation behind him helplessly.
Buzz~
The formation outside the cave house vibrated, and a breath inevitably drifted out.
"This..."
Song Mingyu was still smiling at first, and was satisfied with holding Chu Chen.
But when he felt this breath, his expression suddenly changed, a touch of shock surged in his heart, and his steps forward suddenly stagnated, and he couldn't fall down.
"Second uncle, I will check it with Brother Yuan and the others. If you don't do it, I promise not to miss any corner."
Song He on the side didn't notice this and volunteered.
Pah!
The next moment, a loud slap sounded, and Song He was slapped to his knees.
This scene shocked several immortal city cultivators around, as well as Su Jianchen who hurried over.
"Second uncle?"
Song He covered his left face and looked at Song Mingyu in bewilderment.
"Brother Qin is the pillar of our immortal city. How could he collude with a thief? I was almost misled by you and wronged Brother Qin. Why don't you apologize to Brother Qin?"
Song Mingyu shouted sternly.
Then, he said to Chu Chen with a little humility: "Brother Qin, the young man is naughty. Because of love, he lost his mind and deceived me. Please accept this small gift."
As he said, he presented a storage ring with both hands.
