Chapter 653 Hiring Escorts

Seeing a group of people curiously asking herself, Tingting threw a few people into the pit again, and she still kept saying no to tell, which made even Li Tianci depressed, and really wanted to arrest this girl and beat her up. .

After being slapped again by this girl, the few of them continued on their way.

This month, Yueming Town is not too big. The group of people walked along the street for less than 5 minutes, and came to the shop of the Qingqing family. It turned out to be a food store, which made Li Tianci a little puzzled.

"Hehe, it seems that Junior Brother Li doesn't understand again. We are not selling rice, grain and oil for ordinary people, but spiritual rice for cultivators." When Qing Qing was at the door, seeing Li Tianci's appearance, it was useless for him to send out When in doubt, I took the initiative to introduce it.

"Lingmi? The kind of food that contains spiritual energy?" Li Tianci understood it when he heard it. He had never eaten or even seen it, but he had heard of it when he was in the giant clan.

"Yes, rice with spiritual energy, if you want to eat it later, you can try it." Qing Qing said.

"Hehe, let's talk about it." Although Li Tianci was interested, it was time to score. Obviously, now is not the time.

Smiling lightly, he led Li Tianci and the others towards the shop.

"Ah! Miss, Miss, why are you here? I have seen Miss, Master Zhibai and Master Aobai!"

As soon as the group of people entered the shop, an obese middle-aged man who was originally behind the counter of the shop suddenly cheered up and hurried out to greet Qing Qing and Zhi Bai Ao Bai. The colleagues also looked at Li Tianci and Tingting curiously.

"Shopkeeper Yu, you don't need to be polite, are you alone in the store?" Qing Qing asked directly after nodding his head in response.

"There is also a guy in the warehouse at the back sorting out the freshly delivered Lingmi. Do you need anything?" Shopkeeper Yu saw Qingqing asking, obviously there was something wrong.

"Have the Lingmi been delivered? Where's the escort team?" Qing Qing frowned and continued to ask.

"It's been less than an hour since I left, what is this, young lady?" Shopkeeper Yu asked suspiciously.

"We were targeted by a group of cultivators. I figured the family would have an escort team to deliver the food today, but unfortunately it was a step too late." Qing Qing said a little depressed.

"It's only been an hour. If we don't waste time in the Pill Pavilion, we can meet at that time." Ao Bai glanced at Li Tianci, and then said with a trace of depression.

Li Tianci raised his sword eyebrows, this Ao Bai was obviously blaming himself for wasting time.

"Ao Bai, don't talk to me!" Qing Qing reprimanded him directly, then looked at shopkeeper Yu and said, "Can you find some helpers for us?"

"Who is this... who dares to attack my young lady? What is the strength of the other party and how many people are there?" Shopkeeper Yu asked after pondering for a while.

"Seven people, the tallest one should have reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and the rest are probably in the middle stage." Qing Qing said.

"Seven people? They should all be casual cultivators traveling around, otherwise it would be impossible to blatantly make a bad idea here. Miss, don't worry, I'll contact some people and ask them to send Miss back to Wangcheng." Shopkeeper Yu said again After pondering for a while, he said.

"Who do you want to invite?" Qing Qing asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, miss, the people hired by the villain are absolutely reliable. They are native cultivators in this town, and they usually take on some tricky tasks. Although the rewards are higher, they are absolutely reliable and safe. " Shopkeeper Yu said with certainty.

"Is that so? Then you go and come back quickly." Qing Qing nodded after listening to shopkeeper Yu's words.

Li Tianci listened to the conversation between the two, and did not intervene. Although he felt that even without help, they would not be in much danger, but it would be nice to be safer.

Shopkeeper Yu saw Qing Qing nodding, quickly summoned the staff behind him to entertain Qing Qing and the others, and then left the shop by himself.

Li Tianci and the others drank tea in the shop. After waiting for nearly half an hour, shopkeeper Yu came in from the outside, followed by two practitioners, a man and a woman.

Among the two, the man is unusually burly, wearing a brown tight-fitting samurai suit, with a rough appearance, and he looks like a vigorous person at a glance, while the woman is not low, about 1.7 meters five, her grade looks to be around [-], and her appearance is beautiful. With a hint of heroism, although the appearance of a cultivator can no longer be used as a standard for measuring grades, it still has a certain degree of accuracy after reaching Jindan Qi.

"Miss, sister, these two are the people I mentioned, Mingqing and Fengwu, they are husband and wife, both have the strength of the late stage of foundation establishment, send Miss and others back to Wangcheng, and charge one hundred yuan crystals, you see?" Shopkeeper Yu asked Qing Qing for instructions after entering the door.

"One hundred yuan crystals? Isn't it too high?" Qing Qing frowned, he was very clear about the general escort missions, more than twenty pieces would be a lot, after all, Wangcheng is only less than three hours away from here .

"Miss Qing, you really don't need to be so tall, but that's because the danger is unknown, and you may arrive safely all the way, but your current situation is very clear. There are seven robbers waiting for you outside. Fighting is inevitable, so the asking price is not outrageous, of course, if you don't feel it's worth it, then we're leaving now."

The two people who were brought in with the shopkeeper saw Qing Qing questioning the price, and the woman named Feng Wu spoke up.

"It's not expensive to hire two expert bodyguards for a hundred yuan, I can..."

"Okay, Tingting, don't talk about it. I just said it. I didn't disagree. Then it's settled. When can we go?" Seeing Tingting's opening, Qing Qing quickly interrupted. It would really be a slap in the face for her to say that she would pay for it.

"If you decide, pay half of the deposit first, and pay the rest after arriving in Wangcheng." The woman Feng Wu obviously doesn't care who pays the money, as long as the payment is enough, as for the man beside him, he always has a serious face. Say nothing.

Li Tianci felt the aura of the two of them after they came in, and found that the aura of the two of them was very strong, and their strength was indeed not low. The thick and deep energy fluctuations of the man were deeper than Tingting's.

"Okay, here it is!"

Qingqing didn't say any more nonsense, took out the ignoring Yuanjing and handed it to Feng Wu, and then didn't waste any more time, and left the shop after greeting shopkeeper Yu.

Those cultivators who were about to rob were very patient. After so long, one of them was not far from the shop. After they understood Li Tianci and others came out, they immediately prepared to follow, but when they saw that there were two more people in Li Tianci's group, The people hesitated for a moment, then stopped and got together to discuss, and seemed to reach an agreement in a moment, and continued to follow from a distance.

"A group of guys who don't know how to live or die."

Feng Wu walked behind a group of people, felt that angry person following her, couldn't help but sneered and said to her lover Ming Qing.

"I don't know how to live or die!" The man Mingqing spoke for the first time, only echoing his lover, as if he didn't care about everything around him.

"This uncle is really cool, and his cultivation level is also very good. He should gather the golden core, right?" Tingting was in front, and when she heard Ming Qing's words, she turned her head and said with a smile.

"Huh? This little brother can actually perceive this?" Feng Wu looked at Tingting with a hint of surprise.

"Hee hee, finally someone with insight can directly see that I am a boy, so he said to my sister, I like you." Tingting told Feng Wu that her little brother was very happy, and then continued; "I Of course, it can be seen that my old man... I heard people say that the breath before the condensed pill will have special fluctuations, it should be like this cool uncle."

"Little brother's knowledge is really good, but you made a mistake. He didn't want to condense, but he had already condensed the golden core once. It's a pity that he failed." Feng Wu really admired Tingting's knowledge. The words are more subdued.

The strong man Mingqing heard his lover's words, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Ah? If you failed to condense the golden elixir once, then... it will be even more difficult to condense it. The best way is to take the alloy elixir. There is still some hope. Uncle Ku, don't be discouraged." Tingting heard Feng Wu Then, the little face changed, and finally comforted me.

"Thank you little brother, we are working hard to earn Yuanjing, just to buy an alloy pill." Feng Wu thanked Tingting.

"Tingting, can this alloy elixir condense the golden elixir during the foundation building period?" Li Tianci heard about this alloy elixir for the first time, and couldn't help asking Tingting.

"Hee hee, handsome brother, haven't you heard of He Jin Dan? Let me tell you, this elixir is usually useless. It is only useful when the golden elixir is condensed for the second time, but this only has a certain chance of success, and the price It's outrageously expensive!" Tingting liked Li Tianci's questioning about things she didn't know, and it seemed that spreading knowledge to Li Tianci would give her a sense of accomplishment.

"Oh? A highly targeted pill!" Li Tianci understood what Tingting said. As for the price, Li Tianci didn't ask too much. Since Tingting can tell how expensive it is, most people probably don't I can't take it anymore.

"Junior Brother Li, you have to work hard to increase your strength in alchemy. Alloy pills are fourth-grade pills. If you can refine them, not only can you earn huge wealth, but you may also win some followers in the golden alchemy stage!" Qing At this moment, Qing opened his mouth and said something.

"What? Handsome brother, are you an alchemist? You, you lied to Tingting!" Ouyang Ting listened to Qing Qing's words, her eyes widened and she grabbed Li Tianci's arm. With a look of deep anger.

"Eh? You didn't ask, I can't tell you what I can do if I can't see you, right?" Li Tianci looked at Tingting's appearance, a little helpless, and at the same time glanced at Qingqing, not understanding what this woman was doing. What is the intention of revealing his identity as a alchemist, but he casually said it.

"This young master is an alchemist? This... is really rude!"

Li Tianci was here to deal with Tingting's complaints, and the Ming and Qing Hefeng Wu couples on the side immediately changed their expressions after hearing Li Tianci's identity as alchemist. When Tingting paused for a while, the two greeted Li Tianci again Say hello.

In the Northern Territory, alchemists have a very high status, especially those cultivators who want to buy pills. When they meet alchemists, there is no one who does not want to make a good impression in front of them. If you have the opportunity to make friends, it will be good for you There will be great benefits in future practice.
