Chu Ci nodded after hearing this. Since he was already here, he might as well let it go. Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he decided to wait until the competition was over tomorrow before making any plans.

"If you have nothing else to say, senior, I will take my leave now. I will be here on time tomorrow morning." After the little boy said this, he bowed respectfully and turned around to leave.

At this moment, he seemed to suddenly think of something important, stopped, turned around and said again:

"Oh, by the way, Senior, there is one more thing I must tell you. If you want to walk around here, that's fine. But please remember not to step out of the scope of our Red Horse Merchant Alliance. In particular, there is a mysterious hall built of red stone more than 3,000 miles away from here. No matter what, Senior, you must not enter that hall!"

Chu Ci was stunned when he heard the boy's words. He knew nothing about the mysterious palace the boy was talking about. After all, this place was more than 3,000 miles away, and tomorrow was the day of the competition. He really couldn't understand why the boy wanted to remind him so specifically.

Perhaps sensing Chu Ci's doubt, the boy paused for a moment and then said:

"I know that with your strength, you can travel a short distance of 3,000 miles several times overnight. However, not long ago, there was a Jindan stage senior named Chang who was wandering around in the dead of night and accidentally entered the mysterious red stone palace. There has been no news since then. After this incident, Miss Wanying blamed us for not warning us in time. That's why I mentioned this to you today to avoid repeating the same mistake. In short, please remember one thing, you must not enter the red stone palace. Even Yuanying powerhouses have never escaped from it unscathed."

After hearing what the little boy said, Chu Ci's curiosity grew stronger. But when he heard that even Nascent Soul cultivators could not return, he could only suppress his curiosity helplessly.

After all, his current level of cultivation is far from being comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Thank you for telling me, I'll take note of it." Chu Ci thanked him.

The little boy clasped his hands together again and bowed deeply to Chu Ci. Then he turned around and walked away along the way he came.

Chu Ci looked up and saw that the sun was high in the west center of the sky. It was already past noon.

There were still about eight or nine hours until tomorrow's competition. Chu Ci decided to use this free time to stroll around the stone palace in front of him.

The main structure of the stone temple is basically made up of blue boulders, but occasionally some yellow rocks can be seen dotted in the middle.

These stones are extremely large, up to 80 or 90 meters long, and about 50 meters wide and high. Just one such huge stone is enough to be equivalent to the size of an entire house in the Jin Dynasty. As for its specific weight, it is difficult to estimate.

Chu Ci walked slowly forward, lost in thought. What kind of people would spend so much manpower and material resources to build so many giant buildings, and what are the uses of these huge buildings?

Just as Chu Ci was concentrating on thinking, a figure suddenly appeared not far ahead. He looked closely and found that it was Wang Tiezhu.

At this moment, he was at a fork in the road. Chu Ci immediately planned to turn around and take another road, but unexpectedly, Wang Tiezhu waved his arms enthusiastically and shouted loudly: "Chu...Chu...Senior Chu!"

Chu Ci couldn't help but frown when he heard the other party calling him. This little fat guy was too slow in speaking, which made people feel anxious.

Not only that, he seemed particularly enthusiastic about himself.

At this moment, Wang Tiezhu had arrived in front of Chu Ci. His face flushed red, and he opened and closed his mouth but could not utter a complete word. He could only stammer: "Chu...Chu...Qian...Qian..."

Perhaps because of excessive excitement, Wang Tiezhu's stuttering became more serious.

Looking at the young man in front of him who could barely speak clearly, Chu Ci found it hard to imagine that such a person could have cultivated to perfection in Qi Refining.

Chu Ci suddenly had an idea and reached into his arms, quickly pulling out a talisman. Taking advantage of Wang Tiezhu's unpreparedness, he threw the talisman at him at lightning speed.

Wang Tiezhu was trying hard to organize his words, but when he saw Chu Ci suddenly attack, he was immediately panicked.

He had no time to think about what Chu Ci meant by this action. He had only one thought in his mind: Does this person want to kill me?

He was horrified, and two dazzling lights, one black and one white, suddenly exploded in front of his chest.

The black light shot straight towards the talisman in Chu Ci's hand like lightning, while the white light turned into a barrier, stretching between the two of them, completely separating Chu Ci.

At the same time, Wang Tiezhu moved his feet and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Then he appeared fifteen feet behind Chu Ci.

It was the famous body movement technique of Luoying Sect, the Disha Flashing Body Technique.

Chu Ci let out a light exclamation. This time he attacked extremely quickly and took advantage of Wang Tiezhu's unpreparedness. Logically, he should have been able to hit the target, but he didn't expect that this person actually dodged it.

When Chu Ci saw that the opponent used the Earthly Evil Flashing Technique, he smiled secretly and also disappeared from the spot.

Chu Ci's speed and awareness were much stronger than Wang Tiezhu's, so when Wang Tiezhu just appeared, he saw Chu Ci standing in front of him with a smile on his face, and then he felt someone patting his chest.

He looked down and found a talisman stuck on his chest.

Wang Tiezhu shuddered violently, jumped back several feet, and asked, "Senior Chu, what do you mean? Am I being disrespectful?"

Chu Ci smiled slightly and replied, "Friend Wang, you speak much more fluently now than before."

Wang Tiezhu's face suddenly changed, and then he touched his mouth in disbelief and shouted excitedly: "Really! I'm fine, I'm really fine!"

Chu Ci had several books of talismans in his hand, among which were a lot of useless talismans. At that time, Chu Ci refined ten of each kind. Although they had never been used, they were always kept in the ring.

One of them is called "Tianyu Talisman". After using this talisman, people who are born deaf-mute or have lost their ability to speak for other reasons can speak fluently like normal people.

There is also one called "Tianming Fu", which is specially made for the blind.

What was just pasted on Wang Tiezhu was a top-grade "Heavenly Language Talisman". These two types of talismans have almost no practical use and have never been used for many years.

Until just now, when facing Wang Tiezhu's severe stuttering, Chu Ci suddenly had an idea and decided to try the Tianyu Talisman.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tiezhu, who originally had a severe stutter, could speak fluently after sticking the "Heavenly Language Talisman".
