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

Seeing that she was reading quietly, the strong man in the dark really stopped paying attention to her.

After all, a little cultivator who entered the City Lord's Mansion through connections and only had the cultivation level of the eighth level of Qi Refining was not worth their attention.

At noon the next day, someone knocked on her door: "Miss Zhong, your senior brother is waiting for you outside."

Zhong Ran stopped reading and was a little confused for a moment. Senior brother?

But she soon realized that her current senior brother was Lu Yuanhao, not Mu Jinning.

I wonder where Mu Jinning and the others are now?

Putting away the book in her hand, she responded softly, stood up, opened the door and walked out.

Lu Yuanhao stood outside the yard with his back to the gate.

The two followers beside him had gone somewhere unknown. He stood there alone, his back looking somewhat lonely, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Hearing the footsteps, Lu Yuanhao turned around with a big smile on his face.

"Junior sister, you're out."

He walked up to her with a smile, still holding his sword in his arms.

"Junior Sister, how are you living here? Are you used to it?"

"It's okay, pretty good." Zhong Ran smiled: "Why are you here, Senior Brother?"

"I came here to ask if you've had dinner yet? Senior Brother invites you out for dinner, how about that?"

Zhong Ran was slightly stunned and asked softly, "Can we still get out?"

Lu Yuanhao laughed: "Of course, we are just joining the City Lord's Mansion. This joining is also temporary. We are not selling ourselves. Why can't we leave?"

"Let's go, Senior Brother will treat you to something delicious."

Zhong Ran also laughed. She thought that after joining such a force, she would no longer be able to enter and leave freely.

After all, the outside world is in chaos now. Is the city lord afraid that these monks who joined temporarily will go out and collude with outsiders, or even betray the city lord's mansion?

Now it seems that the City Lord's Mansion doesn't care at all.

But it's true, they have been staying in the room since they came in, and at most they are just walking around in the yard.

What they can see and what they can spy on are only allowed by the City Lord's Mansion and are not secrets.

The two walked outside side by side, and Lu Yuanhao told her some things about the man's side.

There are also many disputes among men, and they are competitive.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, they all thought they were stronger than the other and wanted to compete with each other.

After he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he was challenged by several people.

However, he only used one sword strike and did not need to use a second sword strike for the time being.

Such strength also makes him much more stable among a group of newly joined young talents.

There were even several geniuses gathered around him.

"Junior sister, how are you over there?"

"Maybe women should be more gentle?"

Zhong Ran said hesitantly, "Only yesterday, two people wanted to challenge Miss Ningshuang, but they were injured. Nothing else happened after that."

Lu Yuanhao paused, his voice becoming more urgent: "Miss Ningshuang? Gong Ningshuang? Have you seen her?"

Zhong Ran raised an eyebrow: "Brother, are you here for her?"

"Ahem—I've only heard of your great name for a long time."

Lu Yuanhao felt a little uncomfortable. When he traveled here, he kept hearing the name Gong Ningshuang, so he was naturally curious.

But for some reason, he felt embarrassed when Zhong Ran asked him this.

"Is she famous?" Zhong Ran was also curious. After she saw Lu Yuanhao take action, she knew that his strength and talent were not bad.

Gong Ningshuang must have a high reputation to be able to attract such a genius.

She had also seen Gong Ningshuang's moves and thought that she could challenge a Jindan cultivator.

"It's not bad. At least it's well-known in the neighborhood."

Lu Yuanhao smiled awkwardly: "It is said that she was able to escape from the hands of a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm a year ago."

A year ago, was he able to escape from the hands of a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm?

A year later, she might have possessed the strength to directly challenge a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm.

Genius indeed.

"It doesn't seem strange to see the little junior sister. Could it be that the little junior sister also has such strength?"

He tilted his head and looked at Zhong Ran. He was really curious about this girl.

Zhong Ran came back to his senses and smiled, but he would not admit it. "That's not the case, but my senior brother can do it. He can kill a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core Realm."

Escaping from the hands of a Jindan-level cultivator, confronting him head-on, and slaughtering him are three completely different concepts, and also represent three different levels of strength.

Lu Yuanhao also understood this, so he widened his eyes in surprise: "Who is your senior brother? Maybe I know him."

Zhong Ran smiled: "Lu Yuanhao."

He was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled: "How do you know I have the ability to kill?"

Zhong Ran turned to look at him, and he smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's not really a massacre. It's just because I'm a sword cultivator, and my sword moves quickly, so I can catch people off guard."

Zhong Ran was secretly surprised. The senior brother she was talking about was Mu Jinning.

He was able to slaughter the first level Jindan because he himself had recovered to the strength of the first level Jindan.

Also, because he also changed to practice swordsmanship, his strength became stronger than in his previous life, so it was not surprising that he could kill people at the first level of Jindan.

But the Lu Yuanhao in front of him definitely hasn't formed a pill yet.

After all, I heard that the cave does not allow cultivators above the Jindan level to enter.

"From now on, I have to rely on my senior brother to take good care of me." She went along with it and said some compliments.

Lu Yuanhao smiled playfully: "Don't worry, Junior Sister, I will definitely protect you well."

The two of them quickly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. There were still many cultivators surrounding the gate, but the several cultivators behind them were no longer in their sight.

Lu Yuanhao didn't stop and took her out to the street.

"Although Ancheng is only a small city, there are millions of monks in the city, so it is still quite lively."

Lu Yuanhao smiled and said, "I've already inquired about it. There's a Yipintang in the city. The ingredients there are all spiritual products of high quality. Let's go and see if we can still eat them."

Zhong Ran said, "Since you are so famous, there must be no room for you at this time, right?"

"Junior sister, you may not know that not everyone can enter the First-Class Hall. I heard that it only accepts geniuses from all walks of life."

"Maybe we can still go in?"

Zhong Ran didn't understand any of this, but he was curious when he heard him say that.

It is not easy to open a restaurant that only serves geniuses. After all, the geniuses have not grown up yet, and there are so many powerful people that it is easy to offend people.

Obviously, there must be a very strong background behind the Yipintang, otherwise it would be impossible to keep supplying spiritual objects of high grade.

"I heard that the Yipin Hall was opened by the Taoist partner of a powerful Dan Valley master."

"Dangu?"

Lu Yuanhao turned his head to look at her: "Little Junior Sister, don't you even know about Dan Valley?"

"I've only heard of the Alchemist Guild."

"The Alchemist Guild is the gathering place for alchemists from all over the world, and the Alchemy Valley is a place dedicated to training alchemists. It can be considered a place where alchemists are produced."
