Chapter 4841 Black Leather

Liu Wuxie quickly realized that he had modified the formation. This was the Dragon Smoke Pavilion, and they must have a central array panel behind them, which could detect any changes in the formation clearly.

"As long as Young Master Liu is willing to improve the formation for us, in addition to paying Young Master Liu a reward, Young Master Liu can also make his own conditions. As long as it is within our capabilities, we will not refuse!"

Fearing that Liu Wuxie would refuse, Ren Luoyi offered generous terms.

"I may have to disappoint Miss Ren. I am not proficient in formations and I am afraid I cannot help Longyan Pavilion. It is getting late, so I hope Miss Ren will forgive me."

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he stood up and headed towards the first floor. He didn't want to get involved in anything at Longyan Pavilion.

"Young Master Liu, please wait. The streets have been unsettled lately. If you don't mind, I can send someone to take you home."

Ren Yiluo stood up as well. She could naturally tell that Liu Wuxie was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that their Dragon Smoke Pavilion had secretly investigated him.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ren. Farewell!"

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he left without lingering and quickly arrived at the first floor, where the main hall was still empty.

"Young Master Liu, please wait a moment. This is the two thousand contribution points I mentioned earlier. Since I have already said so, I will not accept it."

After Ren Yiluo finished speaking, he took out his jade token and deposited two thousand contribution points into Liu Wuxie's jade token.

Since the other party insisted, Liu Wuxie did not refuse: "Thank you!"

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he left Longyan Pavilion and returned to the bustling street.

After breaking through his cultivation level, his spiritual power surged dramatically, allowing him to see everything around him.

Liu Wuxie disappeared into the depths of the street as he weaved through the crowd. An old man appeared behind Ren Yiluo: "Miss, are we just going to let him go like this?"

"What can we do if we don't let him leave?"

Ren Yiluo smoothed her hair behind her ear and said with a helpless expression.

"Should I send someone to bring him back?"

A flash of anger crossed the old man's face. From childhood to adulthood, who had ever dared to disobey the young lady? He never expected this boy to be so ungrateful. The young lady had kindly invited him, yet he actually refused.

"Just have someone keep an eye on him secretly, but remember not to do anything to annoy him. Find out where he is first, and I will visit him in a couple of days."

Ren Yilu gave the order and went back to the third floor to continue resting.

Liu Wuxie walked through several streets, intending to find an inn to stay in first, and then make further plans after figuring out the situation in Tongyu Ancient City.

Although it was night, the inn was still bustling with activity.

"Are you here for a meal or to stay the night, sir?"

Liu Wuxie arrived at the counter, and the clerk in charge of reception greeted him politely.

The immense power of blood and qi emanating from Liu Wuxie alone should not be underestimated.

"Checking in!"

Liu Wuxie plans to stay here for a few days.

"A standard room costs 50 contribution points per day, a superior room costs 100 contribution points per day, and a private courtyard costs 400 contribution points per day. Which one would you like, sir?"

The servant looked at Liu Wuxie. Generally, most low-level Xuan Sheng realm cultivators stay in ordinary guest rooms. Only those with slightly better conditions can stay in good guest rooms. Those private courtyards are only affordable for top-level Quasi-Saints and Ancestral Saint level experts.

As for Dao Saint level experts, they are considered top-tier experts in the entire Tongyu Ancient City. Wherever they go, they are surrounded by followers. Not only do families recruit them as worshippers, but they can also create their own power. It's impossible for them to stay in a place like an inn.

"Three days in a superior room!"

Liu Wuxie took out the jade token and entered 300 contribution points into the inn's crystal pillar, which wasn't a lot.

"Young master, please follow me!"

The servant quickly led Liu Wuxie through the inn's front hall, where rows of guest rooms appeared. The low-ceilinged ones were probably the ordinary guest rooms the servant had mentioned, with very average living conditions and views.

After walking for about half a cup of tea's time, we came across rows of tall buildings rising from the ground. The guest rooms here were on higher ground and had a good view. Pushing open the door to one of the rooms, we found that the furnishings were fairly complete.

"If you need anything, sir, there is a sound transmission stone inside the room. You can give it to me at any time."

After the servant escorted Liu Wuxie to the door, he did not enter but instead greeted him warmly.

"Where can I buy books?"

Liu Wuxie took out several hundred Saint Yuan Crystals, stuffed them into the servant's hand, and asked politely.

He now needs to read a lot of books so that he can learn about everything in Tongyu Ancient City more quickly.

"Sir, if you leave the inn and turn right, after about fifty feet, you will find a library with a large collection of books. You can read them freely by paying contribution points. However, they are all about strange and unusual events, including some events that have happened in Tongyu Ancient City in the last few hundred thousand years. There are no cultivation techniques or secret manuals. If you need to buy weapons or cultivation techniques, I recommend you go to Jianyun Pavilion. There are not only excellent weapons, but also top-notch cultivation techniques, including alchemy and magic treasures."

The servant accepted the Saint Essence Crystal that Liu Wuxie gave him and patiently explained it to him.

Thank you!

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he stepped over the threshold into the house, closed the door, and sent out his divine sense to make sure there was no danger around before sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Little did he know that from the moment Liu Wuxie stepped into the inn, he was being watched by someone with ulterior motives.

In the ancient city of Tongyu, there is a group of black-clad people who like to appear at night. Every night, these people specifically target those lone cultivators. They lie in wait at various inns because most of the cultivators staying at the inns have no background. These cultivators without background are the fat sheep in their eyes.

"Brother, I've found a big, fat sheep!"

In a corner of the inn, Blackie, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the guests coming and going, quickly went to a small alley, pushed open a courtyard gate, and found several burly cultivators sitting inside, drinking and eating meat.

"What a huge, fat sheep!"

One of the burly men put down the wine jar he was holding and asked the man with the dark skin who was reporting the news.

"This person's cultivation level is only at the first level of the Profound Saint realm, but he has 10,000 contribution points on the jade tablet in his hand."

Blackie recounted everything he had seen in detail.

Ten thousand contribution points are nothing to those high-level Quasi-Saints and Ancestral Saints, especially Ancestral Saints, who can get a thousand contribution points by killing a single alien of the same level.

Unlike the Profound Saint Realm, killing a single alien of the same level only yields ten contribution points; one would need to hunt down a thousand aliens to earn ten thousand contribution points.

In some ways, this is almost impossible.

The alien races are incredibly powerful. Even if the human race has the highest combat strength, there are times when they stumble. Who can guarantee that they can kill a thousand cultivators of the same level?

Even for a powerful Ancestral Saint, killing ten alien cultivators of the same level would not be difficult. Ten thousand contribution points may seem like a small amount, but in reality, it is extremely difficult to obtain.

For those top family disciples, it's not a big deal. They have protectors who escort them throughout the journey, making it relatively easy to obtain contribution points.

For independent cultivators, every day is a life-or-death struggle, and every contribution point is hard-earned.

Are you sure he doesn't have any connections?

The burly man frowned. Ten thousand contribution points were enough for them to squander for a long time, and they could even go to Spring Breeze Courtyard to enjoy themselves for several days.

Thinking of those sluts at Chunfeng Courtyard, the burly man's eyes gleamed with gold.

“We’ve investigated, and this person is a complete stranger. According to our brothers in the underworld, he just arrived in Zilin City a few days ago.”

Blackie was well-informed; he had people at every checkpoint leading to Zilin City, and he kept detailed records of all merchants coming and going, including Liu Wuxie.

"Alright, we'll make our move tonight!"

The burly man gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor, gathered a few of his brothers, and planned to make his move that night.

For a mere Profound Saint Realm cultivator, there's no need for him to personally intervene; simply sending a Profound Saint Level 4 brother would suffice.

As the night deepened, a rustling sound came from outside the window. Liu Wuxie, whose divine sense had been locked onto his surroundings, suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp killing intent flashing deep within them.

"They're after me!"

Liu Wuxie clearly sensed that four people were quietly approaching his room.

……

Dragon Smoke Pavilion!

"Miss, news has come back. Please make a decision."

The old man rushed up to the third floor and took out the message that his scout had just sent back.

"Say!"

Ren Yiluo was still worried about the Longyan Pavilion. Although the Longyan Pavilion was not an important family business, if it declined under her management, her father's branch would definitely be suppressed by other branches when she returned to the family. Therefore, she had to make the Longyan Pavilion regain its glory.

The biggest problem for Longyan Pavilion now is the lack of top-notch array masters. The array masters they had previously hired were poached by Changyun Pavilion. They could transfer array masters from the family, but that would mean giving up the family assessment. She would never admit defeat until the very last moment.

The old man respectfully handed the message to the young lady.

Upon receiving the message, Ren Yiluo glanced at it, a strange look appearing in her beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Liu Wuxie to be staying at the inn, proving her previous guess was correct.

"Send someone to protect him secretly. If he is no match for the enemy, kill him. Do not reveal your identity for now."

They were just a bunch of black thugs; Ren Yiluo didn't take them seriously.

"Yes!"

The old man immediately took out a communication stone and sent the message to the spy who had been secretly watching.

"My intuition is usually very accurate, I hope you won't make me regret it."

After Ren Yiluo finished speaking, he rubbed his head and leaned back on the soft couch, falling asleep.

"Swish!"

Light footsteps came from outside the window, followed by a bamboo tube being inserted into the room, instantly filling the entire room with a large amount of smoke.

Liu Wuxie had already left the room and was standing on a large tree in the distance, quietly watching their performance.

After waiting for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the four of them gently pushed open the window.

"So much time has passed, he has long been killed by the poisonous smoke. Everyone be careful and don't alert anyone else."

The leader, a cultivator at the fourth level of the Profound Saint realm, took the lead and quickly rushed into the house.

The toxic fumes had dissipated, leaving only a faint, unpleasant smell inside the room.

The four of them slowly approached the bedside. Just then, another figure silently landed, closed the window, and formed a hand seal, instantly activating the array patterns hidden around the room.

When Liu Wuxie moved in, he set up an array inside the house. As long as someone steps in, the array patterns will be activated.

The array patterns quickly surged into the surrounding walls, completely sealing off the entire room. Even if a fierce battle broke out inside, it would be undetectable to the outside world.

"not good!"

The leader, a cultivator at the fourth level of the Profound Saint realm, sensed something was wrong. Holding his weapon, he turned around and saw Liu Wuxie standing under the window. A look of panic flashed in his eyes.
