Chapter 449 Special Bell

Chapter 449 Special Bell

As soon as these words came out, the private room suddenly fell silent, and the three female cultivators who were singing and dancing to the entertainment and the two female cultivators accompanying the wine stopped.

They lowered their heads and remained silent, with panicked expressions on their faces. They did not dare to say a word, so they could only act as they were told.

The other party is a great monk at the pinnacle of foundation building. If they make the other party unhappy, killing them is not much more difficult than squeezing an ant to death.

Wasn't it just a song that was a little sad? Why is this so?

The female cultivator was puzzled.

Liu Yu also paused slightly, a little confused about the other party's reaction, but continued to drink and eat meat to tease the female cultivator without saying anything else.

"It seems that this fellow Taoist Tang is also a person with stories."

This thought flashed through his mind.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here, go down."

After a breath, Tang Tianbao's expression returned to normal, he waved his hand and said casually.

"Yes, Senior Tang."

The three female cultivators who were singing and dancing to the entertainment lowered their eyebrows and said submissively, slowly retreated and closed the door.

"It made Fellow Daoist Hong laugh."

"These people are really ignorant. They sing desolate songs when I am in the mood."

"What a bummer."

"Come on, Fellow Daoist Hong, let's continue."

Tang Tianbao continued to drink and talk with his usual expression.

Realizing the gaffe just now, he didn't mean to explain anything, but just found an excuse to excuse it.

"Snapped"

Another clink of glasses, and both of them drank it down.

After three rounds of food and five drinks, the two of them slowed down their eating and drinking pace and talked happily.

Tang Tianbao also took the initiative to talk about some things about the Xisha Land, and began to talk about his power and influence without any trace, with a vague intention to win over.

Liu Yu pretended not to know and dealt with it vaguely, only saying that she would continue to look for opportunities to break through.

Through a conversation, he did gain a lot. He learned a lot about the Xisha Land, and his understanding of the place was deeper than just superficial.

Holding the female cultivator in her arms, Liu Yu quietly listened to Tang Tianbao talking about some things in the Xisha Land.

This spiritual meal lasted for two hours, and the two people, who had their own thoughts, could be regarded as guests and hosts.

The restaurant itself can also accommodate accommodation. Tang Tianbao is a frequent visitor here, so he asked the waiter to arrange two rooms.

Liu Yu did not refuse, so he stayed in the restaurant.

…

…

In the large, clean room, Liu Yu sat cross-legged.

"call."

After a little exercise, he refined the spiritual food he had eaten in the last meal and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air that smelled of alcohol.

He opened his eyes and began to recall what he had learned from his exchange with Tang Tianbao, as well as thinking about his next plan.

"I'm afraid Tang Tianbao has some stories."

"Hate evil as much as hatred? Eliminate demons and protect the Tao?"

"Is what this person did really just because of the justice in his heart?"

"It shouldn't be that simple."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly.

He didn't believe it would be that simple, especially in the world of immortality in an environment like Xisha Land.

Even if he sincerely helps others, he still wants to be grateful. Tang Tianbao has been killing evil cultivators for decades, probably not just for the reward.

If the two peak foundation-building monks in his group only wanted to obtain spiritual stones, they would definitely do it much faster than receiving the bounty.

"Holy Fire Cult?!"

Liu Yu then thought about it and thought of the Holy Fire Cult again.

Although there is no trace that shows that Tang Tianming is related to the Holy Fire Sect, or is simply a remnant of the Holy Fire Sect.

However, based on his intuition, he vaguely felt that Tang Tianbao might have some unclear connection with the Holy Fire Sect.

And according to Song Haocang, the secret realm where the "Three Yuan Fruit" is located was left by the Holy Fire Sect that dominated the Xisha countries back then!

"If that's the case, there's no need to leave in a hurry."

"Perhaps if we have further contact with Tang Tianbao's gang, there will be unexpected gains?"

"Anyway, there's still some time before the secret realm opens, so don't rush there right away."

Various thoughts flashed through Liu Yu's mind, and she gradually made a plan.

"Why did the Holy Fire Sect, which was so prosperous three thousand years ago, suddenly collapse?"

"What kind of secret is there?"

"I just hope that it won't affect my ability to seize the spiritual fruit!"

Countless thoughts arise and collapse. Based on the information collected now, it is completely impossible to restore the facts of the year.

He shook his head and could only give up thinking. For the time being, he would contact Tang Tianbao and take a step-by-step approach.

Closing her eyes and slowly holding the magic formula in her hand, Liu Yu began her daily practice.

Since the cultivation level has reached the peak of foundation building and there is no further progress, there is no need to take pills to practice. You only need to run the "Qingyang Kung" for one or two hours every day to polish your mana.

In this way, it saves a lot of time.

The environment of the restaurant was not suitable for cultivation, and Liu Yu was not able to use his formations openly and openly, so he only maintained a "warm-up" level in terms of body and spirit training.

Only two hours later, he took out the "True Body of the Stars" and began to comprehend.

…

The second day.

Xishafang City, restaurant.

"Dong dong dong"

Around noon, there was a knock on the door outside Liu Yu's room. It only stopped after a light knock, not too abrupt.

The five senses in the world of immortality are very sharp. If you were in the room, it would be impossible not to hear this movement.

If there is no response, the only possibility is that he is really not there, or he is pretending not to be there.

"Squeak"

Liu Yu opened the door and saw Zhou Ziwen's figure at a glance.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please move on to explain."

"Brother is meeting with fellow Taoists here. He has specially asked me to invite fellow Taoist Hong, who is just in time to introduce fellow Taoist fellows from Xishafang City."

Zhou Ziwen said politely, his attitude seemed to have changed slightly compared to before. He wondered if he had heard about Liu Yu's identity as a second-level alchemist.

"Then thank you fellow Taoist Tang. Hong is just trying to get to know fellow Taoist Xisha."

"Please ask Fellow Daoist Zhou to lead the way."

Liu Yu said with cupped hands.

"please."

Zhou Ziwen looked as usual and led the way with one hand.

As he walked, he had no intention of talking. He was polite but also cold and distant, and he didn't know why.

Liu Yu sighed at the usefulness of being an alchemist, but his spiritual sense was keenly aware of this slight indifference and alienation, which made him feel a little strange.

"They are a gang, and Zhou Ziwen is Tang Tianbao's subordinate."

"If Tang Tianbao wants to win over him, Zhou Ziwen's attitude should not be like this."

"It's so strange."

While they were thinking, the destination had been reached, and the two came to a hall.

Liu Yu's expression remained unchanged as she calmly walked into the hall, her dark pupils sweeping around.

Then he saw Tang Tianbao and a monk named Foundation Establishment.

A rough count showed that there were at least thirty of them, and none of them had a cultivation level lower than the foundation building stage.

"It seems that these are local casual cultivators in Xishafang City, as well as cultivators from small and medium-sized forces."

"This person's appeal is really scary."

Liu Yu looked normal on the surface, but was slightly moved in her heart.

This kind of powerful appeal, even with his status as a true disciple of the Yuanyang Sect, is still inferior.

Tang Tianbao's appeal among the low-level monks in the Xisha countries can be seen from this.

"With this kind of prestige and appeal, will this person really feel comfortable being a bounty hunter?"

Thoughts crossed his mind.

At this time, Tang Tianbao spoke and enthusiastically introduced the local monks in Xishafang City to Liu Yu so that both parties could get to know each other.

"This is Fellow Daoist Hong."

"Not only is he a rare physical cultivator, but he is also a second-level alchemist. You must not underestimate or neglect him."

He was just a physical practitioner, but upon hearing that he was actually a second-level alchemist, most of the monks present cheered up and stood up enthusiastically to greet him.

Liu Yu did not show off, smiled and returned the salute, greeted the monks one by one, and then sat down in a seat on the left side of the hall.

In this way, with his status as a second-level alchemist, he successfully contacted the local monks in Xisha and blended in to become one with them.

Tang Tianbao summoned these monks. In addition to exchanging news and discussing their cultivation experiences, the main purpose was to share their knowledge.

Most monks should not simply turn some spiritual elixirs that are beneficial to cultivation into spiritual stones, unless they are extremely short of spiritual stones.

In order to make the character more realistic, Liu Yu exchanged a bottle of Yuan Yang Dan for a body-refining spiritual object that was effective in the middle stage of foundation building.

First, exchange cultivation experiences, and then exchange knowledge.

Under the auspices of Tang Tianbao, everything was in order and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Through some exchanges, Liu Yu learned that although these monks had different origins, different forces and even different positions, they all had one thing in common, which was that they had received favor from Tang Tianbao.

Or, be impressed by his extraordinary magnanimity and charm.

Due to the chaotic order in the Xisha Immortal World, under the leadership of Tang Tianbao, these monks from different origins formed a seemingly loose organization called the "Illuminati".

Externally, the Illuminati is just a loose alliance to defend against evil cultivators.

As for the real situation, Liu Yu didn't know. After all, he was just an outsider.

Even if Tang Tianbao wanted to win him over, he would have to go through some observation and it was impossible to have no reservations from the beginning.

As time passed, the exchange of spiritual objects ended, and this party also came to an end.

At the end of the party, under the watchful eyes of more than thirty foundation-building monks, Tang Tianbao sent an invitation to Liu Yu, inviting him to join the "Illuminati".

Yan said that as long as he joins the association, he can pay a price to ask the members to help him when he encounters trouble, or he can even ask him himself.

It even vaguely hinted that not only when being attacked by evil cultivators, but also if there are other troubles, we can also discuss it.

Being watched by more than thirty foundation-building monks at the same time, an ordinary monk might be under tremendous pressure and become a little nervous.

But Liu Yu's heart was extremely calm, and there wasn't even much turmoil.

This place is in the city, and there is a real Jindan stationed there. Even if these monks don't agree, they can't take action.

However, he still agreed successfully.

"Since Fellow Taoist Tang and all of you colleagues are so respectful, Hong must be more respectful than obey his orders."

After some refusal at first, Liu Yu finally "reluctantly" agreed.

"Haha, I already know what Fellow Daoist Hong is capable of."

"Fellow Taoist is too self-effacing."

Seeing the other party's agreement, Tang Tianbao's smile became even brighter and he said with a hearty smile.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall relaxed again. Since they are all members of the Illuminati, everyone can be considered one of their own.

However, since Liu Yu had just joined the meeting, it was naturally impossible for him to immediately gain trust and access to the core secrets. He just left each other's contact information and nothing more happened.

"Everyone, this time has ended successfully here. I'll see you again someday."

"Fellow Taoists, may your immortality be prosperous!"

Tang Tianbao stood up, bowed his hands to everyone present, said a few words, and the party officially ended.

The monks present stood up one after another, said a few polite words and began to walk out.

Liu Yu was fighting in the melee and also walked out of the hall.

At this time, I had just joined the Illuminati, and I was new to Tang Tianbao's circle. Even if I wanted to know more, I couldn't rush. Being anxious would only leave flaws.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, it's still early in the morning, how about we go have a drink?"

"I'm a host here. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Hong can give me a favor?"

A middle-aged monk with flaming eyebrows invited, his attitude was very sincere.

This person was in the late stage of foundation building. Through a few words of communication, Liu Yu only knew that he was the patriarch of the foundation building family in the nearby oasis.

"Fellow Daoist Feng kindly invites you, how can Hong refuse?"

"I'm here for the first time, and I happen to have something that I would like to find a colleague to find out about."

"Fellow Daoist Feng came at the right time!"

With her heart as calm as water, Liu Yu said politely with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, the other monks who wanted to invite the alchemist "Hong Hao" had no choice but to give up and secretly cursed Old Ghost Feng for being so fast.

The foundation-building monks dispersed in twos and threes, and the hall that was bustling just now suddenly became deserted.

After crossing the threshold, Liu Yu looked back and glanced casually.

Zhou Ziwen was seen standing next to Tang Tianbao with his hands folded on his chest, his face expressionless, and his eyes were indifferent, showing the indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away.

Looking back now, this person looked like this from beginning to end during the entire party.

When he met a monk who took the initiative to say hello, he smiled, but it was just a superficial smile, and there was indifference and coldness beneath the smile.

It seems that there is something unknown hidden.

This person is in sharp contrast to Tang Tianbao's approachable attitude. There may be huge differences in his ideas and understanding of certain things.

Logically speaking, with such huge differences, it would be difficult to come together and become partners.

But the two of them came together, and Tang Tianbao regarded him as a confidant, even a sibling.

"Could it be that this person is Tang Tianbao's "Black Glove"?"

Looking away at the first touch, Liu Yu made wild guesses and continued to move forward slowly.

But before he had taken a few steps, a sudden sound made him stop.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The dull, loud bell suddenly rang, resounding in every corner of Xishafang City, with a hint of coldness and chill.

This sudden bell made most of the monks in the city stop what they were doing and stop quietly to look around.

After the seven bells rang, the originally noisy city became silent, and after two or three breaths, sparse sounds began to sound.

"this"

After hearing the bell, Liu Yu's heart moved.

Based on some exchanges with Tang Tianbao and the information collected in advance, he already understood the special meaning of the bell.
