Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

Entering the city is not free, you need to pay ten gold coins.

The common currency of Fengming Continent is spirit stones and gold coins, not the gold and silver of the secular world.

Even ordinary people use gold and silver coins.

Zhong Ran has no gold coins now. Most of the things in her space were given away as she traveled westward.

However, there are still a lot of things.

Now that she is back in Fengming Continent, many of her things are no longer useful to her. She needs to find another opportunity to send them all away.

Ordinary people still need to live.

She had obtained the space ring from Xuejia Tower not long ago. There were not many gold coins in it, but there were quite a few pills, elixirs, spirit stones, etc., and the quality was not low.

Those things are beneficial for cultivation, but they are not beneficial to her now, so she can only keep them for the time being.

"Since you have decided to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, have you already found a place to stay?"

After entering the city, the number of cultivators in the city far exceeded Zhong Ran's understanding, and the streets were full of foundation-building cultivators.

There were men, women, young and old, and it was almost a crowded scene.

In this situation, she didn't think she could find the inn.

Lu Yuanhao smiled faintly: "No, but as long as I can defeat the cultivators arranged by the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion will naturally arrange our food and accommodation, so Junior Sister, don't worry."

Zhong Ran guessed that it was about the same, so he said, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."

Lu Yuanhao smiled, asked his followers to ask for directions, and then led her all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Junior sister, is that you?" A surprised voice came, and then a young girl squeezed forward from behind and grabbed Zhong Ran's arm.

"Junior sister, it really is you, that's great."

Shi Mingxiu didn't expect that he would actually meet Zhong Ran just when he came out to try his luck.

After they met that day and Zhong Ran helped her get the ivory, she has been thinking about Zhong Ran ever since.

The Shi family is in need of people right now. It would be a great joy if a genius like Zhong Ran could join the Shi family.

"Junior sister, have you just arrived in the city? You don't have a place to stay yet, right? Come back to the Shi family with me, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Zhong Ran avoided her touch subtly. She was now very resistant to being touched by strangers, which made her very uncomfortable.

Looking at Shi Mingxiu, she is no longer as disheveled as when I first met her, but a lady from a noble family.

She was wearing a pink and purple long dress, with delicate features, and she exuded a noble aura and style.

"Are you the senior sister from that day?"

She only vaguely remembered seeing this young lady, but couldn't remember her name.

"Yes, my name is Shi Mingxiu, and I'm from the Shi family. Little Junior Sister, would you please come back with me?"

Zhong Ran looked at Lu Yuanhao hesitantly: "Brother, this..."

She was not familiar with these families and wondered if she would jump into a den of wolves?

Lu Yuanhao seemed to have done some research before coming here, so he should know more than her.

Since she had agreed to go with him, she naturally had to discuss it with him.

Only then did Shi Mingxiu notice Lu Yuanhao beside her. Seeing that he was holding a long sword, he looked very imposing and the smile on his face became even wider.

"So it's you, Senior Brother. Why don't you go to the Shi family together? I will arrange your food and accommodation and will not let you suffer any injustice."

This senior brother, I think his strength is even higher than Zhong Ran's, right?

With the two of them joining the Shi family, we will definitely have a greater chance of winning this time.

Lu Yuanhao didn't expect that Zhong Ran actually knew someone from the Shi family.

"Junior sister, this is..."

Zhong Ran looked at Shi Mingxiu again. She really didn't remember who she was.

"I am the daughter of the Shi family, a direct descendant. No one has dared to question the friends I brought home."

Shi Mingxiu said: "Brother, sister, how is it?"

Zhong Ran looked at Lu Yuanhao again, obviously giving him the decision-making power.

When Lu Yuanhao met her gaze, he immediately raised his head and chest and coughed lightly.

"Since Miss Shi has invited us so graciously, it would be hypocritical for us brothers and sisters to refuse."

He became curious about Zhong Ran. She seemed to know nothing before, but how could she know the young lady of the Shi family?

Moreover, judging from the tone of this young lady's voice, it seems that her status in the historian family is not low.

For a family like this, if they want status and position, they need talent and strength as a foundation.

Zhong Ran is so valued by Miss Shi, is there anything he doesn't know?

However, thinking about it, he and Zhong Ran were just casual acquaintances, so it was normal that he didn't know about it.

I thought that Zhong Ran would be able to enter the cave by relying on his identity, but I didn't expect that later on, he would rely on her identity to enter the Shi family.

Moreover, you don’t have to fight, let alone expose your strength. Don’t miss such a good thing.

When Shi Mingxiu heard what he said, she knew he agreed and was immediately overjoyed.

"Brother, sister, please come this way."

Having said that, he wanted to lead them back to Shi's house.

A middle-aged woman who looked like a nanny frowned slightly, pulled her aside, and said softly: "Miss, you bring two ignorant people home like this, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, it's definitely our Shi family's luck to be able to win them over."

Shi Mingxiu didn't know how strong Lu Yuanhao was, but she knew that Zhong Ran's strength was definitely above hers, even above Liu Qingyang.

Although she couldn't see through Zhong Ran's cultivation...

"That girl is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. Are you sure, Miss?"

Shi Mingxiu was stunned: "What?"

What is the eighth level of Qi Refining? Why can't she understand what the nanny is saying?

"I said, the girl you call Junior Sister is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining."

Mammy frowned again and said, "Miss, do you really think a person like this could be a genius?"

Shi Mingxiu was completely stunned. She couldn't see through Zhong Ran's cultivation level, but the nanny was a cultivator at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm. She should be able to see through Zhong Ran's cultivation level.

So, Zhong Ran only has the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining?

At that time... At that time, she hunted down the demon elephant in just a few moves and pulled out its tusks. Was it all a lie?

"Miss, have you been deceived by her?" The nanny looked at her expression and it was obvious that she didn't know Zhong Ran's cultivation level.

"I, I don't know either."

Shi Mingxiu was also unsure, and quietly told the nanny about her encounter with Zhong Ran.

Mammy is older and more knowledgeable, so she definitely knows more than her.

"Miss, you must have been deceived. Do cultivators have few tricks?"

"Perhaps after seeing the predicament you and Young Master Liu were in, the girl took some strength-enhancing pills or used some kind of talisman to enhance her power. It would have been easy for her to show it off in front of you."

"You also said that after she pulled out the tusk, she left without even trying to get you to stay. I guess she was afraid she'd be exposed later."

"In fact, I'm afraid she knew you were going out today and deliberately showed her face in front of you so that you could see her?"
